determining the amount of fair
wages to be paid in an industry.
will remain and become the subject
of House debate, Rep. Dyer said.
Governor to Name Board
Several other important changes
in the Dyer bill are recommended.
These include the requirement that
all state codes conform with the
national codes applying TO their
particular fields, although the state
may set UP new codes for divisions
of industry and trade not covered by
national codes.
The regulations would remain in
effect until March 81, 1887, or until
corresponding federal legislation be-
comes imperative.
Intrastate business transaction
also. are covered by the amendments
thereby removing any possible loop
hole that might have existed under
the original measure.
Administration of the state code
would be in charge of a board to
be appointed by the Governor.
It became certain after adjourn
ment yesterday that the Democratic
majority in the Senate will not vote
to include the nominations of cam
didates for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Secretary of State and
other state officials in the list Of
officials nominated by direct pri-
mary elections.
G.. o. p. Primary Bill Ready
At present only county, city and
township officials are nominated by
direct vote of the people. State
officials now are named at party
conventions.
The Albright bill, now pending in
the Senate, would permit candidates
for state Offices to be selected by
direct vote of the adherents of the
political parties.
The Republicans already have a
bill pending in the Senate calling
for repeal of the primary law, as
pledged in their state platform.
Meanwhile members of both
Houses anxiously awaited details Of
the state liquor control bill which
has been under preparation by
special secret committee. The meas
ure now is scheduled for introduce
ton late next week.
The present improper system to
collect taxes on beer, upheld by the
Federal courts, or new plan to
include either public or private
agencies to control the revenue on
imported beer and liquor are being
debated by the drafters of the new
bill. No agreement has been reached.
1t is certain the new bill will pro-
vide for a reduction of state taxes
on hard liquors. At present 50 a
gallon is levied. This levy may b
reduced to as low as so cents a gall
lon to combat bootlegging
Beer taxes may be reduced from
cents gallon to 4 cents.
Local boards to pass upon applica-
tons for licenses may be recon-
mended. Price control for liquor
sales has been discussed.

The amendments will be
further modified today, Rep.
Dyer said, and when the
printed, amended bill is pre-
scented to the House Monday,
will not contain the broad
powers given by the amend
ments submitted yesterday.
The price-fxing powers as recon-
mended would have provided dis
tinct innovation in state control
of competitive marketing.
Republicans, who have threatened
to oppose any state NRA bill, would
have been joined by insufgent DEM
ocratS in defeating any state indus

ing pr1ce-fiXing powers, StatehouSe
leaders said today.
Rep. Dyer said he did not know
how the new Section II, which en-
powered the Governor to act dur
ing emergencies arising out Of I'M
fair competitive practices within an
industry due to destructive price
cutting or price wars, found its way
into the long list of recommended
amendments.
Filing of the amendments came as
a distinct surprise. So far as any
public knowledge is concerned, no
one knew the Federal Relations
Committee had held meetings or
hearings on the proposed amend
ments to the Dyer measure, which
was introduced early in the session
and action deferred until word was
received from Washington on modi-
fications required by the Supreme
Court decision in the "hot oil'' cases.
The amendments as received yes
terday by the House would have
precipitated the most bitter legisla-
tive fight of the session. Rep.
Jacob j. 1eeisinger Cd, EVANSVILLE
had threatened, when the original
state NRA bill was introduced to
wage bitter battle against any
price-fxing features. other Demo-
Gratis are known to oppose giving
such authority to the state govern

zenS of substance.
How the record of their testi-
mony appears in type is one matter.
How it sounds to a jury of four
women and eight men, who are a
crosS-section of the common hon.
esty of Hunterdon County, is an
other.
At times there has appeared on
the face of at least one woman
juror an expression of disdain as
she listened first to a bootlegger,
next to a speakeasy proprietor, and
again to an eX-convict, who came
forth ito see justice served"
The character of the defense alibi
witnesses thus far presented shows
that in desperation Mr.. Reilly has
snatched at any straw presenting
itself in this rapidly rushing flow of
evidence that seems to be carrying
his client toward destruction.
Intimidation" Is Charged
The impression today, even
among some of Reilly'S colleagues,
is IlldG IL WOulQ nave De6n U6IC6r
never 70 have put some of these
witnesses on the stand. They have
been willing, and in some cases too
willing, to come forward with their
stories. And under the hammering
of the Attorney General, who is
backed by the investigation efforts
of 200 New Jersey and New York
police officials, they have wilted
into stammering explanations of
their own lines.
The defense calls this 'intimida-
tion," and declares there is a we'll
directed campaign to frighten all
prospective witnesses for Haupt-
mann into staying away from Flem-
ington.
That the events of the past three
days may have frightened away
some witnesses is undoubtedly true.

ton that a man who has some

abandoning their efforts to serve
Marion County, even though the
present Legislature passed a law
that now requires them to get the
Public Service Commissions approx
al before they can renew their ap-
peal for a franchise to the Marion
County Commissioners.
A majority of the commission
yesterday told the Legislative COM
mittee they would not now grant
the franchise.
Backs Officers Testimony
Mr.. Givan, a central figure thus
far in the Legislative probe, said
his hackers are prepared to furnish
bond of $1,000,00O in cash or its
equivalent within 48 hours of the
signing of contract with the city
to insure delivery of natural gas,
which he said they can take from
Western Kentucky or West Virginia
fields.
Mr.. Givan said the officers of the
Users Company were telling the
truth to the Legislative probe COM
mittee when they denied knowledge
of the identity of the hackers, but
he declared it was not true that,
when and if the contract with the
city was signed, those officers would
be Immediately pushed aside.
The statement of Marshall Ober-
hotter, president, that the company
intended to make no immediate
profit in the sale of gas was true,
Mr.. Givan insisted, adding that the
company expected to make its
profit "at the field" He said no
agreement had been made about
how the present officers should be
paid.
Clarke Interested, Is Report
The city never has answered his
proposal to sell gas to it, Mr.. Givan
said, and ne has been waiting since
November for a counter proposal.
To reveal the hackers of the COM
psiy, he reiterated, would be to
open the way for raids on it by
other interests.
Meanwhile, there was new ru-
NOR that one of the hackers of the
Users was Harley Clarke, who
effected the merger of the Indian
apolis Light and Heat Co. and the
Merchants Heat and Light into the
present Indianapolis Power and
Light Co.
The legislative committee adj
journed yesterday until Monday aft
ernoon when John w. Smith, presi-
dent of the Detroit City Council,
will appear to offer testimony on
what he terms secret attempt by
pipe line interests to create a
vicious monopoly in Indiana.
Nye May Be Called
Mr.. Smith, a prime mover in the
organization of Middle Western
mayors to fight the establishment
of a gas monopoly, agreed to appear
at the invitation of the committee.
The committee also was consider
ing asking United States Senator
Gerald P. Nye (R., N. d. to APP
pear before it when he visits In

Senator Nye has charged from
washington that he also has knowl-

Members of the states staff felt
the defense collapsed with the
cross-eXamination of Peter H. Som
mer, At, who told the Strangest
story of any OF the defense alibi
witnesses, and suffered the most
damage in cross-examination.
Sornmer's testimony was il Tended
to bear out the theory Of LGward j.
Reilly, chief defense counsel, that
Isidor Fisch, assisted by Violet
Sharpe, Morrow servant, both dead,
kidnapped the baby and collected
the ransom. His story disintegrated
rapidly under the hammering of
Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz. He
will be further cross examined
when court reconvenes Monday.
End of Trial Near
With the trial nearing it's con-
cluSon--the jury may be deliberat-
ing Hauptmann's fate next Satllr-
day-the desperate state of the de-
tense was indicated by activities of
Hauptmann's counsel. Mr.. Reilly
will spend today and tomorrow in
New York interviewing and seeking
new witnesses to bolster the alibi
that suffered such damage this
week. The other lawyers also will
devote their every moment during
the recess to the defense.
Even the first of the defense S
handwriting experts did not escape
unscathed. The state made John
M. Trendley admit he had studied
the handwriting involved only two
and one-half hours.
But Sommer suffered most. First,
he identified FSch positively as one
of the two men he saw with wom-
an carrying a baby on a Hudson
River ferry, bound from New Jer-
sey to New York, the night of the
kidnapping. Then he said he wasn't
so sure.
Bruno His Best Witness
First, he said the woman was Vio-
IeC Sharpe, recognizing pnOVO-
graph. He was broken down on
this point, too. Finally, he placed
the time he saw the group on the
ferry as after midnight of the night
of March l, 1882. The baby was
kidnapped at around o'clock and
long before midnight every high
way and every ferry was guarded.
AS the case entered what may
be its last week of trial, it was gen.

himself has been his best witness
Witnesses who have taken the stand
to support his alibi have not been
impressive to observers. The prose-
cution beat down their credibility

cening their general character and
reputation.

OPPOSES SPECIAL SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE

Opposing special session of the
Legislature, Senator j. Allan Coad
dem. St. Mary's) declared that at
present he failed to see the need of
voting additional taxes for relief and
old-age pensions:
The Senator, majority floorleader
at the last session of the General As
sembly, said he favored letting the
present one per cent. gross receipt
tax for relief and old-age pensions
expire on March 81.
"The WPA is making good pro-
gress giving relief personnel employ
ment," he said. by March 81 the
situation will be better in hand and
1 think that remaining relief cases
can be taken care Of by the individual
subdivisions of the State"
The Senator pointed out that the
present gross receipts tax would
raise old-age pensions funds sufici-
ent, or nearly sufficient, to take care
of pension demands that would be
made during 1886.

Christmas Is the Time
for Reverent Gratitude

ut SOMETIMES happens that, like
~ a bolt from the blue. one Is struck
by the Wonder of the Commonplace.
Things you have accepted for years;
sights you have looked at with blind
eyes become, all in moment, revealed
to you in a new light.
The sun comes up in the east every
morning and goes down in the west.
For how many thousand years we do
not know, let the scientists calculate
as they will. 1t Is the giver and pre-
server of life. 1t drags from dried,
unlovely seeds, the miracle of living
green, the color of flowers, the frag-
rance of lilies. It passes over the
earth touching Athens Africa's
hidden jungles it warns for a
space the bleak shores of Labrador, 1t
kindles the peaks of the Rockies, anG
stares down into the awful craters Of
volcanoes. Behind the gray of winter
the SHOWS of December, it travels its
unvarying course.
Yet this indescribable wonder we
can see plainly with our eyes. we
know it's very shape as it goes down
in the west it is ball of fire,
balloon of light, golden platter. Con-
sidering the power and glory of its
passage is it not mircle that we,
with infinite vision, may look at it?
Other matters may be hid, but the
sun we see. and feel, and live by :.
millions and millions of people from
Rangoon to New York, from Capetown
to Spitzbergen, depend on it with care
less assurance, to keep its course, and
to save the world from darkness and
death.
Is it not a gift worth your humble
and reverent gratitude at this season?

THE THINGS THAT NEVER
WEAR OUT
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

There are things that never wear cut
And worth more than silver or gold;
The very best that is In us all.
Not the half has ever been told.
The Greatest Book and the reading;
Improving each moment of time;
Golden opportunities for study,
That are yours and that are mine.
Making the most of the noble and true,
In all that we say, in all that we do
The real true values of life, who can
doubt
These are the things that never wear
out
Never wear out In the morning of life,
Nor when we grow older and comes
the night;
Scattering sunshine along life's way;
Making December as pleasant as
May.
These are the colors that never grow
dim;
They never wear out, cheerfulness
up to the brim.
The very best that we have to give,
Making life better for all to live.
