here today dug into the past of
Jack Butler, slain by police, in an
effort to identify his slain COM
panion, while Indiana authorities,
who identified them as Washing
ton, Ind, bank robbers, sought to
connect them with other recent
bank holdupS.
The two men we're shot to death
by Deputy Constable Charles Brad
ley Jr., in a gun battle in a police
car, when they were arrested on q
speeding charge, late Saturday.
AS the police car started toward
Clayton, the county seat, one of the
bandits said: Lets give EN- the
works" Arthur Lazear, also an Of
1icer, who was driving the car, was
shot through the arm. Bradley,
riding on the running board, shot
both men to death.
When police found a grip con-
tanning nearly $4,000 in the speed
eTs' car, the pair were suspected OF
being the bandits who earlier had
held up the State Bank of Wash
ington Ind.
Police communicated with author
tiles there. Two Washington Off

identified them as the bandits.
They said one of the men was Jack

WET DISSENSION
MAY SAVE DRY
LAW, IS CLAIM
House Will Not Pass Senate
Repeal Bill, Says
L. E. York.

DiSSension among wet leaders is
the hope of prohibition, according
to L. E. York, superintendent Of the
Indiana Anti-Saloon League, who
spoke at the convention of state
dry leaders today at the First Bap-
fist church.
York reviewed the national and
state actions of the wet forces in at
tempting to repeal prohibition bills
He cited the disapproval of avow-
ed vets with special privileges he
alleged were to be given the French
Lick hotel by the beer bill.
Even if the national repeal law
were to pass the senate, I do not
think it would be accepted by the
house" he said.
Sees Corruption Looming
The passing of the repeal law in
Indiana rests entirely upon Gov
ernor Paul McNutt, according to
York.
If the Governor is not in favor
of the beer bill it will not go
Through, ne Sdlu. he passing OF
this bill will give a chance for more
corruption in this state than ever
before. The power of the Governor
to appoint brewers and other Off
Gals dealing with it, is unlimited"
Representatives Of towns were
present at the meeting. DR.. G. H.
Winders, former executive secretary
of the indianapolis Church Fedora
ton, and now a lecturer for the
Anti Saloon League, was named
permanent chairman.
Whisky Containers Displayed
DR.. Winders denied that the re-
suits of the past election were an
indication that the people wanted
repeal of the prohibition laws.
AN economic situation, and not
a wet and dry proposition, swept
these officers into power" he said.
Two whisky containers, said to be
duplicates of those sent to drug
gists throughout the state, we're
displayed by Rev. j. R. STEELE, Fort
vile, prominent in the Dry knights
of America.
They are sent out by a Louisville
distiller, in anticipation of the re-
turn of liquor, DR.. STEELE said.

When Your Cough
Hangs On, Mix
This at Home
Saves 81. So Easy! No Cooking!

The best cough remedy that money
could buy can easily be mixed at home.
1t costs very little, yet it's the most re-
liable, quick-acting medicine you ever
used. The way it takes hold of stub
born coughs, giving immediate relief,
is astonishing
Any druggist can supply you with
212 ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a
pint bottle, and add graduated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. To make
syrup, use 2 cups of sugar and one cup
of water, and stir few moments until
dissolved. No cooking needed. It's no
trouble at all, and saves two-thirds of
the money a family usually spends on
cough medicine. Keeps perfectly and
tastes fine.
1t is surprising how quickly this
loOsens the germ-laden phlegm, soothes
and heals the infamed membranes,
clears the air passages, and thus ends
a severe cough in a hurry.
Pinex is a compound Of Norway
Pine, in concentrated form. the most
reliable healing agent for severe coughs.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief

Warning against too drastic cuts

Sunday by Herbert c. Parsons, Bos-

There is no reason why an orgy

In each case the action is without
reasoning or calculation
Budgets are being reduced by
financial leaders without comforting
with educators. Parsons charged,

JAM MAY MEAN
OVERTIME FOR
LEGISLATURE
Work May Be Unfinished
When March 6 DeadIine
Time Arrives.

With only twenty-one days of the
legislative session remaining, adj
ministration leaders today are
showing signs of worry over
an eleventh-hour jam, which would
result in holding the assembly
together past the deadline OF
March 6.
One plan being discussed is tc
take a three-day recess from March
3 to 6. This would serve the pur-
pose Of permitting enrolling clerks
to catch up on the flood of bills
passed last week.
1t also would allow Governor
Paul V. McNutt and other leading
Democrats to attend the inaugura-
ton Of President Elect Franklin d
Roosevelt, March 4.
Budget Bill Leads List
OF paramount importance among
measures awaiting action is the
budget bill providing appropriations
for all state activities for the next
two years. Conferences between
McNutt and members of the Joint
budget committee have been held
frequently during the last week,
with the result that items appearing
b. in the bill probably will be adopted
without change.
Administration members of both
houses are determined to hold
steady on the appropriations as they
now are set forth. To permit
amendments from one quarter, they
argue, would mean that a flood of
amendments would pour in and
serve TO delay the entire measure.
Also included among important
measures still pending are repeal of
the Wright bone dry" law, the beer
control and tax bill, the control of
public utilities and revamping of
the public service commission, and
the administration tax program.
including the highly controversial
sales tax.
OLher important Measures
Permanent registration of voters,
modification or repeal of the pri-
mary election laws, old age pensions,
reduction of petty loan interest
rates, and relief for property own
erS who are delinquent in taxes also
are among the measures yet to be
decided. Sevral of these are Demo-
cratic platform measures.
Sweeping changes in the states
banking laws would be made in a
bill still pending.
Minimum wages for teachers, to
be paid from the state general fund,
and repeal or modification of the
teacher tenure law are sure to hold
the limelight during the closing
weeks Of the session.
1t was learned today that admin
lstration leaders are contemplating
cuts in salaries of city, town and
state Office holders as companion
bills to the one passed last week
affecting salaries of county officials.
Salary Cut May Continue
In the meantime, the salary cut
applying to state officers, put into
effect last summer, will be continued
for an additional two years if new
legislation on this subject fails to
PASS.
Troublesome legislation affecting
regulation and taxation of trucks
also is on the calendar for the
closing weeks. Storms aroused by
both sides always rage around the
heads of legislators when truck
legislation is being discussed.
Increases in fees to be paid by
chain stores are to be the subject
of a public hearing tonight at 7
before the senate finance commit
tee. Bill increasing the fees already
has passed the house and will be
discussed at the hearing.
