WASHINGTON, March Is.
Whatever may have hap
pened to prosperity, legal beer

corner today and will be on
sale next month.
The senate took up the 80 per
cent beer and wine bill at noon on a
schedule calculated to insure its
passage by Friday night.
The house voted Tuesday to legal
lze beer alone. There may be house
objection to the wine and fruit
juices amendment inserted by the
senate finance committee and
adopted by the senate today.
Grape growers on the west coast
nave protested that 80 per cent is
not sufficient alcohol to suit their
purposes. One senator received a
telegram demanding that the limit
be raised to 10 per cent.

FARM RELIEF
PLAN is READY
RooSeveIt'S Program viii
Be Given to Congress in
Message Today.
By United Press


WASHINGTON, March Is. - Two
messages instead of one, as had been
expected, on agriculture and unem-
ployment relief, will be sent to con-
gre by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, it was learned today at
the White House.
Mr.. Roosevelt will send up his
agricultural relief message this af-
ternoon. The one dealing with the
unemployment problem will not 60
until some time Friday it is be-
lieved.
Originally, plans called for the
President to embrace both subjects
in one message.
These were changed, however, in
order to make it easier for leaders
at the capital, and in order that
the matters could be referred to the
proper committees without delay.
The farm BILL it was understood,
would be sent along with the mess
age.
Agriculture Secretary Henry A.
w d4A1CC dIll IOCAlOlQ az VIGIL, lid
assistant, said that there was agree
ment on the terms of the bill and
that draft of it had been present.
ed Mr.. Roosevelt.
The contents of the farm relief
message will represent the views
of farm leaders from all sections
of the country representing a dozen
or more organizations. and also the
views Of senators and other lead
erS, who have assisted him in for
mulating his policy toward the job
less.
While Mr.. Roosevelt and his
friends have been reticent as to the
contents Of the unemployment mes
sage, it is a foregone conclusion that
he will ask that congress authorize
camps for a vast army of the I'M
employed in order that an immedi-
ate start can be made on reforesta-
ton, in line with his plan outlined
some months ago
1t is expected that the war de-
partment will have charge of the
recruiting of this army, which will
be drawn from the long list of per-
sons now unemployed and subsist-
ing on charity.

WASHINGTON, March Is. - The
first airplane trip ever made by a
Presidents wife was completed to-
day when Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt flew to Washington from New
ark, N. j.
1T was a good trip, but very
bumpy," Mrs. Roosevelt said as she
landed here. 1T didn't bother me,
but some of the others were very
miserable"
Mrs. Roosevelt is a seasoned air
traveller, but this was the first flight
she has made since the Inauguration
and the first flight ever made by a
first lady"
She travelled as an ordinary pass
enger and requested Eastern Air
Transport officials to treat her ex-
actly as they would any other
passenger.
Little Naomi Rockwell of Balti-
more, 4, got the biggest thrill out
of the flight. She sat on Mrs.
Roosevelt's left.
Mrs. Roosevelt went directly to

ceiving the justices of the supreme

One Sentence in Measure
Worries 280 Employees
of Institution.
BY ARCH STEINEL

One sentence in the veterans
economy bill now before congress
may sentence the $65O,0O0 United
States Veterans hospital on Cold
Springs road to locked doors.
The one sentence may, if Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt desires,
stop $4,000 monthly pay roll that
is expended in Indianapolis.
1t may mean that hospital pro-
viding 152 beds, which was opened
Jan. 5, 1882, will be idle with plenty
of beds but no patients. There now
are las patients in the hospital.
The provision that creates qualmS
on the part of employees of the hos
pital is in the form of amendment
adopted by the United States SEN
ate at the passage of the economy
bill.
Ale Explains Provision
1t says: ITO permit the Presi-
dent, if he deems it necessary, to
provide hospital treatment as we'll
as domiciliary care to non-service
connected disabilities"
John H. Ale, regional manager of
the United States veterans bureau,
with headquarters at the hospital,
says:
Eighty to eighty-f1ve per cent of
the patients in the hospital at the
present time are here for non
service injuries or Illnesses"
Ale's statement means that if
Roosevelt ordered the hos
pitfalls to discontinue non-service
disqualification that the local hos
pital, with twenty nurses and twenty
would provide a private
nurse and private orderly for every
patient with a service connected in
jury or illness if all non-service pa
tents were elected from the hos
pital.
Percentage Higher Here
If only the service
cases we're given treatment the
doctors of the hospitals, out
patient department, and on part
time service almost would suffice to
give each veteran with a war-con-
nected illness a private doctor.
Ale said that the estimate of non
service cases in all veterans hos
pitfalls of the nation is 70 per cent.

SKIP ELECTION
ACT IS TARGET
OF court SUIT
Law, Branded 'MonStroS-
ity,' to Be Fought by
Mayor Candidate.
BY CHARLES E. CARLL

BY CHARLES E. CARLL
Terming the McNutt administra-
tons skip election law a political
monstrosity," indianapolis attorneys
Friday are expected to take the first
court action to block it's enforce
ment.
The suit, scheduled to be filed in
Marion county court, will attack
the constitutionality of the law. A
mandate directing city election Of
ficials and the city clerk to hold a
primary in May, will be sought
Boynton j. Moore, former city
councilman and Republican candi-
date for nomination as mayor, will
be the plaintiff in the suit, to be
filed by j. Fred Masters and Gin
ton H. Givan. The latter is a for
mer superior court judge.
Faults Are Charged
According to Masters, the suit will
demand not only staging of the
primary and election next fall, but
that Moore's name be placed on a
primary ballot.
That the wording of the acts title
is defective and that the act does
not amend the general election laws
will be alleged in the complaint.
In addition, Masters said, the suit
will allege that the skip election
law does not provide specifically for
later election, but postpones the
1888 general election until 1884.
THE legislature can not deprive
a man from office or legislate him
into it," Masters said. This act
plainly legislates the mayor into Of
flee for another year. He will have
served his four years and now they
want to legislate him into it for
another year.
"The act is purely political
monstrosity of the Democratic party
and does nothing more nor less than
deprive the voters of opportunity to
exercise their constitutional rights
in voting for another mayor at the
end of the legally provided term of
four years"
Other Suits Considered
Moore laid the basis for the suit
March 8, when. despite the new law,
he filed his declaration for candi-
dacy with Henry o. Goett, city
clerk.
Several similar suits are being
contemplated. Another candidate
for the mayoralty nomination here
is reported to be preparing to file
suit in his own behalf.
In South Bend, officials of the
Republican city committee have re-
tanned counsel, preparatory to filing
suit.
The law, passed at command of
the state administration, has caused
an uproar in Republican circles in
the state. 1t was sponsored as an
economy measure. Two candidates
for the Republican nomination here
halted their plans for announce
ments, with passage of the law.
Conference Is Called
Members of the Republican state
committee and attorneys will con-
fer here Tuesday afternoon on the
question of throwing the entire
state machinery Of the party behind
a test case.
Masters said that when the suit
is filed, he and Givan will seek i'm
mediate hearing, so that, if it is
necessary, supreme court ruling
may be obtained as soon as posi-
