GARY, Ind, Aug. 28.-The Indi-
ana department Of the American
Legion today went on record in the
final session of it's annual state con-
vention here as favoring federal
disqualification for veterans with dis
abilities not service incurred only
when the veteran involved is I'M
able to pay for the case privately.
The legion, which reiterated its
stand favoring compensation for
war disabilities and death, with hos
pitalization\ where required, also
came out for the third time de-
handing immediate payment of the
bonus.
The resolution demanding this
made reference'to the vast federal
emergency expenditures, such as
what it said was $150,000,000 spent
in the farmers corn-hog program.
The legion also called for "all just
benefits" for all veterans injured
during the war and asked that vet
Grams be given access to their serv-
ice records.
City to Get Farley
The legion also demanded that
the state police system be removed
from the domination of the major
political parties" and, in resolu-
ton understood to have been pre-
pared by Safety Director Al Feeney,
urged legion support of a bill now
before congress making it a crime
to give facial surgery treatments to
a known criminal
The adoption of the resolutions
and the election of officers climaXed
a meeting at which it was an
nounced that 900 veterans from six
teen states would be invited to In
dianapolis in 1885 for a conference
on the legion's child welfare pro-
gram and at which prizes were
awarded to FIT. Wayne's' rifle and
pistol team and to Lake county for
attendance.
The 5000 veterans who filled Me-
mortal hall stood in silence for
thirty seconds to honor the war
dead.
Charles o. Warfel and Joseph
LuteS, both of Indianapolis, we're
elected district commanders of the
Eleventh and Twelfth districts re-
spectively.
Princeton Woman Named
Mrs. Morris Barr, Princeton, was
chosen president of the state auxil-
iary at its separate meeting in a
church near the convention hall.
Mrs. Edith Harry, Gary, was made
vice-president for northern Indi-
ana; Mrs. Agnes Sweeney. for south
ern Indiana.
Earlier developments at the con-
vention had been highly pleasing to
supporters of Sherman Minton,
Democratic candidate for United
States senator, who felt they found
much evidence of a veterans swing
toward Mr.. Minton and away from
Senator Arthur R. Gil Arthur
Robinson, lf-proclaimed veterans
champion.
In this connection, there was con-
siderable comment on a remark by
the Rev. Father Robert White,
washington, national chaplain, that
organized veterans should expose
those demagogues who would lead
veterans to unjust demands"
Mr.. Minton and Senator Robinson
sat together in apparent friendliness
at the speakers table at last nights
legion dinner. Neither SPOKE.

SOMEWHERE IN NEW YORK
STATE, April 12.-The smoke be-
comes denSer. The fumes of tobacco
and perspiration seem to condense
and pour down the dingy walls like
miasmic vapor. The little porridge
bowl arena in which 400 So-called
humanS-now something less than
human and something more than
demoniacal = are jammed together
in an obscene mixture of passion
and greed, becomes an inferno.
The cooking main is on.
The sleek red rooster with the
proud yellow ruff about his throat
is breast to breast with the big grey
fellow. They are dwelling as human
fighters never levelled, for their very
lives are at stake and they know
it.
Suddenly the gray one springs in
the air. For the space that breath
is held he seems to hang motion
less, like a helicopter, over the head
of his enemy. There is a silver
flash as the gray fellow strikes. It
is so fast and wicked that it seems
to stab your own eyeballs.
The referee said: Fast in the
throat"
The cocks are quiet. and you can
really see them for the first time
since the fight began. The gray one,
his right spur sunk deep in his RI
walls neck, stands awkwardly over
his adversary. His feathers, so
smooth a minute ago, are wildly dis
ordered and his breast is streaking
with blood. Red is crimson down to
his wings, and his eyes have a wild
CLINT.
The birds are parted, and their
handlers quickly pick them up as
