THANKSGIVING SONG

AAAAAAOOA NANU sJVAU
Come uncles and cousins, come ME-
ees and aunts,
Come nephews and brothers, no
wOn'ts, no can'ts.
Put business and shopping and
school books away;
The year mas rolled round; 1t is
Thanksgiving Day.
Come home from the college, We
mirth-lOving youth;
Come home from your factories,
Ann, Katy, and Ruth.
From the anvil, the counter, the
farm, come away.
Home, home with you, home, II is
Thanksgiving Day.
The table is spread and the dinner is
dressed,
The cooks and the mothers have all
done their best;
No Caliph of Bagdad e'er saw such
display
Or dreamed of a treat like Thanks
giving Day.
Pies, puddings, and custards, figs,
oysters, and nuts;
Come forward and seize them, with
out ifs or butts;
Bring none of your slim little appe
tites here,
Thanksgiving Day comes only once
in a year.
Now children revisit the darling old
place,
Now brothers and sisters long parted
embrace.
The family ring is united once more;
And the same voices shout at the old
cottage door.
The grandfather smiles on the innO-
cent mirth
And blesses the Power that has
guarded his hearth,
He remembers no trouble, he feels
no decay,
But thinks his whole life has been
Thanksgiving Day.
Then praise for the past and the
present we sing,
And trustful await what the future
may bring; Il
Let doubt and repining be banished
away,
and the whole Of our lives be a
Thanksgiving Day.

BY I ntte0 PteSS
WASHINGTON. April 4. - The
work-relief controversy moved to-
ward a climax today with issues
narrowing down to basis upon
which Administration leaders hoped
settlement could be reached.
Although a morning meeting Of
the House and Senate conferees
failed to result in an agreement,
Administration leaders Immediately
went into a series of cloak-room
huddles in an effort to put the
$4,S8o ,OOO,OOO bill over the last of its
many obstacles.
Chairman Carter Glass of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
refused to disclose what transplred
at today's conferences.
The conference began with Senate
conferees offering the compromise
whic hthey had agreed upon yester-
that one third of the S900,000 600
fund for loans and grants be spent
for labor but give the President the
power of determining the labor per-
centage.
Chairman James P. Buchanan of

proposal if the percentage were re-

BAKER DIRECTS
new JURY CALL
Probers to Meet Monday,
but Not on Banking
Cases, Is Hint.

Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker
TODAY ordered a new Marion County
grand jury, not yet even selected TO
meet Monday to consider business OF
the court.
The jury will be selected tomor-
row. and it will take up where the
last one left off in all criminal IN
vestigations except those in which
Prosecutor Herbert Spencer himself
has issued affidavits or is preparing
to issue affidavits, it was learned.
The other grand jury was fired by
Judge Baker because 1t failed 10
indict Charles Bailey, former Wash
ington township assessor, on charges
of embezzling funds that, according
to the records Of the State Board
of Accounts, no longer are missing.
Mr.. Bailey made restitution before
the board closed its books IN the
matter.
Since that time the discharged
grand Jurors have made counter
charges that Judge Baker and
Prosecutor Spencer did not allow
them to vote on indictments in the
cases of defunct banks in Indian
apolis.
Since then. Prosecutor Spencer
has filed two aff1davits against Scott
R. Brewer president of the defunct
State Savings & Trust Bank, charg-
ing embezzlement and perjury, and
saws he has others ready to file in
the cases of the City Trust Co.. the
Washington Bank and Trust Co.
and the Meyer Kiser Bank.

SEARCH PUSHED
State Police Enter Probe;
Further Data Withheld
by MorriSSey.

State police today joined the
search for a man known TO have
sold at least three coupons from
bonds John Dillinger and his gang
stole Nov. 20, 1888. from the Amer
lean Bank and Trust Co., Racine.

Chief Mike Morrissey revealed yes
terday that he had in his possession
three of the coupons, one of which
was sold for $50. He refused to tell
where the coupon had been cashed.
and refused to say where the tip
had come from, other than than it
was from a friend.
He would not confirm the report
that one of the ecoupons had been
sold in a well-known bookie shop,
and that that had led to the current
order banning their activities here.
Although Chief Morrissey admit
ted having had at least one of the
coupons in his possession for nearly
a month, and admitted he knew the
identity of the man who sold it,
even to the detail that he had no
police record, state police and the
Bureau of Investigation. Depart
ment of Justice said yesterday they
had known nothing of the diScov-
cry and would not indicate whether
they will join the search for the

Chief Morrissey said it was prob

tended to restrict them.
1t was said in official quar-
tiers today that Austria will
demand an army of from co..
900 to $4,000 of whom $4,000
would be selected conscripts.
The army is limited under the st.
Garmain Treaty to 10000, who must
be regulars on long-term enlist
ments. Consumption is forbidden.
1t was assumed that if conscriptS
were put in the army they would be
drawn from the heimwehr and tbs
Catholic Storm Troopers, the two
unofficial Fascist armies who SUM-
port the government. Selective con-
scription is necessary to keep out of

Below Treaty Strength
It's gesture of last night. in which

was one o. principle largely. The
army has been kept well below
treaty strength in point of regulars
and money is lacking for a big
army.
The situation as regards Hungary
and Bulgaria IS different. ANY def
ance OF treaties by them would bs
calculated to rouse the Little En-
tente nations of Rumania, Czecho-
slovakia and Yugoslavia and lead
them to demand that the big DOW
ers find a solution of the arms cri.
SIS that will give them security.
With Hungary and Bulgaria re-
armament would be a matter Of
fact. There has been speculation as
to their probable course ever since
Germany passed its compulsory
army service law March Is.
Equality Obvious PRESUMPTION
Austria's move came unexpectedly
last night, but it surprised no one.
A terse communique was issued as
follows:
The cabinet this afternoon con-
sldered the Austrian military estab@
hshment and decided unanimously
that permission for equality for
Austria remains an obvious pre-
sumption. The necessary prepara-
tory measures in this sense already
have been taken"
Today's newspapers we're per-
mitted to publish the communiqus
but were forbidden to comment on
it,
The governments plans, it was
learned, are to reorganize the army
on selective consumption basis.
Now the army is built on long-term
enlistments, limited to 10000 officers
and men by the st. German treaty.
The actual electives are 21,040.
Hungary's army is limited to
$4,000 men under the treaty Of
Trianon, Bulgaria's to 10000 under
the treaty of Neuilly.
The Sevres treaty limited Tur-
keys army to $4,000. Turkey openly
def1ed it from the first and Turkeys
army today numbers somewhat
more than 10000 men in addition
to 10000 gendarmes.
