URGED BY LUDLOW
Tells Congress Group of
White River Menace.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Rep.
Louis Ludlow Cd, Ind appeared
before the House Flood Control
Committee today to plead for allo-
cation of funds for work along the
White River at Indianapolis.
He read telegram from Mayor
John w. Kern setting out in detail
the requirements and costs for
NEEDED flood control work.
Mr.. Ludlow stressed the impor-
lance of prompt action as a means
Of relieving unemployment.
There is a constant menace from
overflow of the White River at In
dianapolis," Mr. Ludlow told the
committee. THE flood of 1913
wrought great destruction in our
city. Many lives we're endangered
and thousands of homes were prac-
tically destroyed.
This project, If undertaken by
the Federal government, not only
would have the merit of safeguard
ing human lives but it would fur
nish work for many Of our people
who are now in dire distress on &C
count of unemployment"

HOUSE PASSES
MILITARY BILL
Proponent Holds Measure
Will End Political
Interference.

Balloting SO to 4, the House of
Representatives yesterday passed a
Senate-approved measure which
Rep. William G. Morris Cd, Gary,
claimed would take the state mill
tary department out of politics.
The bill sets up a selection board
to recommend to the Governor d
person to be appointed state adju-
tant general. 1t also fixes the an
nual salary of the adjutant general
at $4,000.
This board will give tests, and
will recommend only men who have
had wide military experience,
Rep. Morris said.
The House also passed, 1873, q
Senate bill which requires public
works contractors and sub-contrac-
tors to pay the prevailing wage scale
of the community in which the work
is being done.
The oldest member of the House,
Rep. Martin T. Kruger Cd, Michi-
gan City, led a successful one-man
floor fight against a Senate-ap-
proved measure which would have
provided for the appointment OF
nonpartisan park boards in second
to fifth class cities.
Rep. Kruger declared the bill
was full of jokers and would ruin
the park board system in Indiana
The Senate voted 27-19 to sustain
Gov. Paul V. McNuttS veto of the
Bean Creek sewer assessment bill.
The measure would have cancelled
remaining unpaid sewer assessments
on the Bean Greek and Pleasant
Run sewers. Gov. McNutt held the
bill unconstitutional.

Plumber Charge Hurled
as Liquor Bill Passes

ators were on their feet waving
amendments.
Senator White, joined by Senators
Webb and Leo x. Smith, Indian
apolis, insisted the plea for delay
had not received proper consider
alton, but the chair ruled the mo-
ton was in order.
The boiling Democrats demanded
a roll call on which the adminiStra-
ton barely was able to muster the
one vote necessary to advance the
bill.
Accused of "Stalling"
Throughout the vote for advance
ment to third reading last night, the
Republicans and boiling Democrats
explained their votes and drew from
the chair a reprimand for "Stalling."
AS Senator after Senator charged
that Senator Whites delay motion
had been treated unfairly, Presi-
dent Townsend insisted the White
motion could be acted on just as
well by voting down the Weiss mo-
ton.
He did not succeed, however, in
accelerating the vote, every dissent
ing Senator clinging to his right to
explain his mo" vote.
Later, several Senators said they
still had amendments on which the
chair had refused to recognize them.
This was particularly true on the
minority side in the case of Senator
Jernegan, who did not obtain rec
ignition until near the end of the
session.
Amendments Voted Down
The numerous amendments Of
fered by the minority included at
temptS to curb the broad authority
of the Alcoholic Beverage Commits
sion in creating enforcement jobs.
The majority voted them down,
however, with such monotonous reg
Ferris the pungent observation is
he offered a minor amendment:
I'm offering this amendment in
good faith, although know it's not
going to pass. If you took politics
out of the bill, you'd have to rewrite
every page"

STRUGGLEFOR
CONTROL RIPS
LONG FACTION
Followers Of Late Senator
Divide Into Two Camps
Hoping To Continue Power.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 90
UR)-Just 10 days after the death
of the "boss," Huey P. Longs all
powerful political machine split in
to two factions today. Observers
anticipated those factions would
break up into smaner groups.
Leading one faction was Lieut..
Gov. James A. Noe, who waited one
week after Longs funeral before
announcing his candidacy for Gov
ernor. Other Long lieutenants in
Guiding Seymour Weiss, who with
other members of the machine
awaits trial of an indictment charg-
ing income tax fraud, oppose his
candidacy.
The factions held separate cau-
cuSes on the same floor of Weiss
Roosevelt Hotel last night. Gov. o.
K. Allen, nominal head of the ma
chine, ran from one to the other,
vainly seeking a reconciliation. The
opponents still appeared on friend
ly terms and Allen was said still
to hope to hold the Long organiza-
ton together.
The disagreement was on the
question of whom Long would have
designated to succeed Allen as
Governor if he had lived.
One of last nights caucuseS, COM
prised in part of the Rev. Gerald
L. K. Smith, who had assumed
leadership of Longs share-the-
wealth clubs Wade o. Martin, pub
lie service commissioner, and John
B. Fournet, Supreme Court Justice,
endorsed Noes candidacy and that
of Martin for Longs senate seat.
The other caucus, comprised III
the main of Weiss, Abe Shushan,
another of the Long politicians
under an income tax fraud indict-
ment, Longs brother, met oStensib-
ly to nominate Allen Ellender,
Speaker of the house, for Governor
But since Ellender was Ill at his
home in Houma, the caucus was re-
ported to have endorsed Judge Ri
chard Leche of the Court OF
Appeals.

DENIES CHARGE
Of BRUTALITY
At ALCATRAZ
Prison Director Declares Ru-
mors Sent Out By Con-
victs Are Entirely False.

WASHINGTON-Sept. 21-WP)-
Emphatic denial that brutality in
Alcatraz. Americas escape-proof
prison. led to suicide and insanity
among inmates was made today
by Sanford Bates, director of the
Federal bureau of prisons.
IF there have been any deaths
or insanity in Alcatraz, I am sure
they would have been reported to
us" he said. Our records show
there has never been a death or a
case of insanity in the prison.
when prison rules are lax, there
is a public indignation meeting de-
manding punishment for prisoners.
When rules are strict there is a
public INDICATION meeting demand
ing prison reform" Bates contin-
ued bitterly.
I'VE are rigidly enforcing prison
rules to teach criminals that crime
doesn't pay, but we are not using
brutality to do it."
Bates commented on the rule
of silence reported enforced in AL
catraz.
mo prison has ever been able
to keep prisoners from communi-
eating with each other. In some
prisons they do it by tapping on
the walls. I do not know just what
rule of silence may be enforced in
AlcatraZ.
I'VE will tell the public what
we think they want to know about
our prisons, and we are not going
to publicize the inmates.
why is everyone interested in
Alcatraz? There are over $1,000
prisoners in federal prisons and
only 240 of them in Alcatraz.
"If the public thinks there is
brutality in Alcatraz, possibly news
papermen could be granted permiS-
sion to visit the prison. Permission,
however, would have to be granted
by the Acknowledgement who has
ruled no one can visit Alcatraz."
The Attorney General Homer S.
Cummings is now abroad.
Bates issued his denials Of brut-
ality and insanity in the American
Devils Island after being informed
of charges made in letter written
bv an inmate and smuggled from
the prison.

FAMILY STILL
GETTING AID

It's hard to stop a good thing,
and those who have been interested
, in aiding the local family who lost
all their possessions In a fire last
Tuesday are finding that out.
Although last nights Press stated
the family is fairly comfortably
fixed for the present, necessities
continue to roll in to them.
Last night a man came into The
Press office and turned over a dol
lar to the editor, "for that fire
family" and said he wished no
publicity. This morning a local
professional man handed The Press
$5 to be used for the same pur-
pose.
At 10 this morning an El Centre
resident met one OF the young boys
of the family at The Press office,
and took him out to buy him things
a youngSter needs most. We wish
it were possible to tell readers who
this fellow is but he said nothing
doing" He's doing a fine thing
and getting big kick out of it too.
Ell Centre has done a splendid
job in this instance and all con-
cerned wish to extend their thanks
to those who helped.
