RACE BET BILL
TO COVER DOG
RACING URGED
Southern Legislators Seek
Change in Pari- MutueI
Measure.

4 group of delegates from south
ern Indiana counties will attempt to
amend the pari-mutuel betting bill,
introduced yesterday in the House
of Representatives as H. B. 43, to in
clude betting on dog races.
The measure in its present form
does not allow betting on any race
run on any track less than one mile
in length. This excludes greyhound
racing.
Rep. Floyd L. Raush Cd, Law
renceburg), will ask the Public Nor
ais Committee to report the bill back
to the House with an amendment to
include all forms of dog and horse
racing.
He, together with a group of Rep
resentatives, feels that the bill, as
now drawn, will limit racing to Mar
ion County alone, as no one will go
to the expense of building horse
racing parks in. counties near Gin
cinnati and Louisville.
Rep. Roush estimated that if dog
racing is legalized, there will be at
least 10 dog tracks in the state, and
the Government will collect at least
100000 year in taxes.
Under the present form of the
BILL" he said, "the only county that
will have any racing of any kind
will be Marion County. The COM
petition from outside tracks will be
too great for operators to build horse
tracks in other parts of the state"
If the Public Morals Committee
reports the bill back to the House
without the amendment, the south
ern representatives will attempt to
amend the bill from the floor.

autos I gave it up. Maybe was
getting too old then, any way"
Mr.. Adkins said he believed
most new men in the department
looked forward to the day when
they might drive a truck, but for
them he predicted nothing but
disilluSion.
Its just like driving any other
car after you have done it
a while" he said. 1T may look
thrilling to the man on the street,
but for action give me thee work
right in the flames. I'm getting a
rubbing for doing this, but can
take it.
MIR. ADKINS, who is 80 and
4VA lives with his wife and IL
year-old daughter at 1922 w. 31st-
st. said that he had not asked
their advice on the subject of his
reduction. He said, however, that
he was, sure they would see his
point.
His point was seen and appre-
ciated by Battalion Chief Robert
l.. Sims who celebrated the 33rd
anniversary of the beginning of
his service with the department
Monday. Chief Sims, who said
he had been in every Dig fire in
Indianapolis in the last three dec

when he held the reinS OF the
powerful horses that so delighted
the youth of an earlier day.

THE drivers seat Of fire truck
Il may be more impressive than
a throne to most young boys of
Indianapolis but it is too remote
from the scene of action for Cliff
ford Adkins Of Pumper Com
pany 8.
On the recommendation of Fire
Chief Fred c. Kennedy, the Safe
ty Board yesterday reduced Mr..
Adkins from the rank of chauf-
feur, which he had held since
Jan. 1, to his former position as
first grade private.
The board members arched their
eyebrows well into their hair in
amazement when Chief Kennedy
explained that this had been
asked by Mr.. Adkins himself Be-
cause he had not found the life
of a hre-truck driver thrilling
enough for his tastes. When they
were told that this would mean
a pay reduction of 10 cents a day
for the homesick smoke-eater,
the Safety Commissioners we're
too dumbfounded to do anything
but grant the unprecedented re-
quest.
Mr.. Adkins told The Indian

explanation of his strange con-

bored in his eight years in the

Nestor Lemaire, Master
Fencer, Friend of Kings,
Dies in Charity Ward
Belgian Carries Secrets of
Romantic, Tragic Life
to Grave Here.
BY TRISTRAM COFFIN
Times staff Writer

Nestor Lemaire, acknowledged as
one of the worlds greatest swords
men, died here last night, charity
patient at City Hospital, far from
the Belgian court of which he was
once a leading figure.
With him died also closely
guarded secrets of romantic ano
tragic life spent for the most part
in high diplomatic and social circles
of Europe.
In his humble home at 209 E
Minnesota-st are the faded and out
worn remnants of a heroic age
dueling swords and masks and
medals awarded by the French and
Belgian governments for valorouS
service.
At rs, Mr.. Lemaire was a dis
tinguished and aristocratic figure
who up to the time of his illness two
weeks ago gave fencing lessons to a
few loyal pupils.
His life is even somewhat of a
mystery to his wife, Mrs. Binchen
Lemaire, herself related to Count of
Flanders, father of the late King
Albert of Belgium.
MY husband spurned any men
ton of the honorS he won in
Europe and never told me why he
was awarded medals" she said. Il
do not think he would want any,
thing mentioned of them now"
Left Europe Suddenly
They were married in 1913 after
Mr.. Lemaire came to this country.
Whether they met in the Belgium
court and were married later when
Mr.. Lemaire came to this country,
his wife would not say.
When reporter for Golfers

Mr.. Lemaire for an article which
appeared three years ago in that
periodical, asked questions too per-
W 111S klctoO 144CJ INls LCkl1c11 2
ordered the reporter to leave.
A few struggling facts of his proud
and tragic life are available. He
was born Feb. 26, 1860, at Vevrien,
Belgium. He became a lieutenant
in the Belgian army and fenced
often with the Count of Flanders.
He taught cadets in both the
French and Belgian armies.
He suddenly left Europe, became
married and came to Indianapolis,
where he earned his livelihood by
teaching fencing at his own salon
and at local athletic club.
Fought in Longest Duel
Mr.. Lemaire fought the longest
fencing match on record in this
country, at Providence, R. L, under
police surveillance. He and an Eng
liShman fenced for six and one-half
hours with tack-point ends on the
buttons of their foils.
He taught fencing at Wabash Col
lege and Purdue University and
refereed Big Ten fencing bouts.
When he first arrived in this
country, Mr.. Lemaire gave fencing
exhibitions in old Madison Square
Garden.
During the war, Mr.. Lemaire was
an organizer of the Governors
Guards and, later, taught Indiana
National Guard members fencing.

ANTI-NAzIS GO
into HIDING IN
JUBILANT SAAR
Communists, Socialists and
Jews to Carry Fight

SAARBRUCKEN, Jan. 16.-Com-
munist and Socialist leaders in the
Saar prepared to go into hiding
today and Jews we're closing out
their business interests in fear of
NaA re 0riSalS.
France awaited the beginning of
a mass exodus of anti-Nazis, in
Guiding thousands who already we're
refugees from Germany. as Saar-
landers continued to celebrate their
prospective reunion with the
Fatherland.
Although organized NaziS were
held in rigid discipline by their
leaders, there were incidents of in
dividual terrorism and ali anti
NaziS in the Saar we're nervous.
All was quiet today and Saar-
landerS went back to work. Many
Jewish merchants who boarded up
their shops yesterday reopened
them. Police said there was not
single case of a Jew suffering from
persecution. Nevertheless, more
Jews left by train today, seeking
new homes in southern France
where they can live on farmlands
as tenants.
Max Braun. Socialist leader, as
he prepared to leave for Geneva to
place the anti-Nazi case before the
League of Nations Council, pledged
that he would return and continue,
with Fritz Pfordt, Communist lead
er, the fight against Naziism.
Braun said that the men in the
field would operate in the Saar
from hiding places. AS for him
self, he said:
Il am a Saarlander and I shall
stay in the Saar. I am going to
Geneva, but I shall return as soon
as possible. We have not dropped
our fight; we will fight on"
