Dillinger gang, who was sentenced to
death today in Lima, Ohio. Members
of the Kinder family were closely
questioned regarding Dillinger.
Earlier in the day police received
what they believed to be hot lead
on the desperado, but it failed to
materialiZe.
Police revealed tonight that they
received tip two days ago that
the escaped gangster was hiding
in Indianapolis, his former home.
All his old "hangouts" have been
watched.
Dillinger's father lives at Moores-
vile, a village Is miles southwest of
here, and a sister lives in a suburb
of Indianapolis.
Traffic Signals Ignored.
Officer Lee said that he was driving
along West Washington street when
he noticed the Ohio car run through
a stop light near the downtown dis
trict. Two blocks farther on, Lee re-
lated, the suspect car ran another
traffic signal.
Lee said he then speeded up his
automobile and crowded the muddy
Ohio vehicle to the curb.

Dillinger I started to grab him about
the neck, but he showed me in the
face, knocking me to the pavement.
The car then sped westward"

County Jail at Crown Point three

of the remainder Of a site for the new
jefferson Junior High School and
$40 900 for an engineering survey for
replacement of Chain Bridge.
Members of the Appropriations
Subcommittee disclaim any knowledge
of the reason for the failure OF the
Budget Bureau to transmit the sup
Elemental items to Congress in time
for consideration during hearings on
the regular estimates. Some OF them
suggest. however, the Budget Bureau
may turn them down. Others believe
they will reach the Capitol in time to
be added to the appropriation bill
while it is under consideration in the
House.
New Projects Asked.
The 1885 estimates as they reached
the Capitol called for total of $35,-
821 900 and provided for only few
new projects. During the hearings
representatives of civic and trade Or
ganizations made requests for i'm
provements that would add about
S5, 100000 to the budget, If allowed.
Some of the proposals of the civic
groups already are included in the
supplemental items.
The subcommittee, however, has
shown no disposition to increase the
amount above the figure recommended
by the Budget Bureau, although it is
expected to adopt a suggestion OF
Engineer Commissioner Gotwals pro-
viding for a reduction. in the assess
ment for sewers from SO to S1.50 a
front foot. Indications are that the
subcommitte also will approve pro-
vision in the estimates sreducing the
water rates 20 per cent, while at the
same time increasing the metered al
lowance from 1900 to 10000 cubic
feet.
Representative Cannon, Democrat,
of Missouri, chairman of the subcom-
mittee, said the appropriations bill
PROBABLY would be ready to report to
the House some time this week, but a
delay is anticipated in view of the
legislative situation. The House is
now engaged in % hours of general
debate on the administration tariff
bill. which is not expected to be out
OF the way before the end of the week.
This will force a delay in consider
alton of the District bill until the
first week in April.
The District bill is the last of the
supply measures. and since Congress
is not expected to adjourn before the
middle of May, there is no particular
disposition on the part of House lead
erS to hasten its consideration.

gram at Session.

BY the Associated Press.
The Senate silver bloc failed yes
terday to agree upon a legislative pro-
gram for the session, but set up a
committee to seek legislation ap-
preaching as nearly as possible re-
monetization of the white metal on
a fixed ratio with gold.
The group was called together to
decide upon a program in view Of the
House approval of the Dies bill, under
which foreign silver would be ac-
cepted at 25 per cent above the world
price level in the purchase Of Ameri-
can goods.

Twenty-four members of the group
gathered, with expressions of cooper
alton from other Senators, and re-
affirmed the decision reached before
Congress convened to stand for the
use of silver as a primary money at
a ratio with gold to be fixed by law.
With that as the ultimate objective,
the group set up committee headed
by Senator King, Democrat, Of Utah.
to decide what measure should be
concentrated upon at the present ses-
sion of Congress.
King said the committee would con-
fer with President Roosevelt and
friends of silver in the House with
view to securing the legislation. if
it cannot reach the objective, at least
contemplating the enlarged use Of
silver as money"
To Select Best Bill.
The COMMITTEES, King said. would
do what it can to promote legisla-
ton that will widen the monetary
base" and select the measure "they
deem most expedient to increase the
use of silver as primary money and
realize the objective of reconciliation

He added that the committee had
three alternatives, to support the Dies
bill. the Wheeler bill for the pur-
chase of l.O0O, ,000, 900 ounces of silver,
or the original Wheeler measure for
| the free coinage Of silver at a ratio
of Is to l with silver.
A meeting of the comnlitte will be
called early. this week to formulate
its program, he said, adding that he
had not yet determined upon its other
members.

UNEMPLOYED TAX
ACT|ON|SPUSHED
House May Pass Bill, Now
Being Shaped, at Pres

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With the approval of President
Roosevelt. a plan by which employers,
through a tax, would contribute to a
fund to care for workers who were
discharged or laid of, appears slated
for House action at this session OF
Congress.
The extent of the opposition in the
Senate has yet to be determined, but
leaders predicted that when the Ways
and Means Committee has whipped
the measure into final shape it would
be approved by the House
There still Is some doubt as to the
amount of the tax to be applied. The
bill calls for a per cent tax against
the pay rolls of all establishments
employing more than 10 persons
Secretary of Labor Perkins said such
a levy would produce a billion dollars
annually for persons discharged or
laid of.

The bill before the committee leaves
details of administration and opera
ton of the unemployment insurance
to the States, simply prescribing tax
requirements.
One State might elect TO set up a
system under which all industries
would chip in and the unemployed
be paid from a State fund; another
might provide that companies them
selves set up their own unemploy-
ment reserves from which only their
own employees would be compensated.
Either plan would make the indl-
vidual employer eligible to the tax
rebates that are allowed.
Eligibility Up to States.

States to prescribe what requirements
employees would have to meet to be
eligible for the insurance.

Under it an employer is assessed
2 per cent of the total of his pay
rolls until he has paid in an aver
age of SIS for each employe, l per
cent until that average reaches SIS
and then nothing until benefit pay
ments have reduced his reserve below

mittee. These rates have been op-
posed as much too low by several
witnesses.
Under the present bill eligible en-
ployes could receive from 10 to Is
or more weeks compensation In a
year.
In any event, the employer would
have to pay in his 5 per cent tax. and
what he received back through credits
against his income tax would depend
on how much he paid during the year
