HOUSE SUSPENDS RULES TO HEAR BOULDER DAM BILL
VOTES SPECIAL
* TERM IN FAVOR
, OF RIVER DRAFT
Sets Eight-Hour Debate and
Option to Meet at
Night.
JOHNSON IS CONFIDENT
Senator Predicts Passage
' of Measure: Attacks
Filibuster Plan.
Bn l iiilrd I’ri ss
WASHINGTON, May 15. A
special rule for House consideration
of the Swing-Johnson Boulder dam
bill was granted today by the House
rules committee and the measure is
expected to come up the last part
of this week.
“I am delighted that the rule has
tje.en granted in the House,” said
Senator Hiram Johnson (Rep.),
California. "I know the bill will be
passed there and when it is we will
have gone more than half way in
this great constructive work.”
“A proposition that affects the
economic welfare of so large a num
ber of our people as the construc
tion of Boulder dam " feel should
be decided by the House itself and
not be denied a hearing on the floor
by the rules committee.”
Expresses Confidence
Confidence that the Boulder Dam
bill wall receive “favorable consid
eration” by the House, was expressed
by Representative Swing (Rep.),
California, co-author of the bill, in
a statement expressing .ratification
over the rules committee action.
The granting of a rule, he said,
“shows that the leaders realize that
the Boulder Dam bill is a human
itarian piece of legislation urgently
needed for the protection and de
velopment of the lower Colorado
River, where the uncontrolled floods
have already wrought great havoc.
“It also puts them in accord with
President Coolidge, who has earn
estly expressed the hope that this
legislation be acted upon by Con
gress this session,” he added.
“In the Senate a shameful filibus
ter is being conducted by the Repre
sentatives of Arizona and Utah, who
selfishly seek to exact special con
cessions as the price of their ac
quiesence.
The committee fixed no definite
day for its consideration, but au
thorized eight hours of debate with
option of a night session to com
plete discussion.
The Rules Committee also granted
a special rule for consideration of
the Senn reapporitionment bill.
Deny Power Interests
Chairman Snell of the rules com
mittee, announced the reapportion
ment bill probably would come up
Thursday with the Boulder Dam
measure following, when that is
completed.
Snell said he voted for the
Boulder Dam rule and a majority'
of the committee favored consider
ation at this session.
If the measure is brought before
the House, that will make its first
consideration by that body. A
special rule was granted last ses
sion, but too late for the measure
to go to the floor.
Snell denied power interests had
prevented consideration previously.
SICK
HEADACHE
Be suspicious of persistent sick
headaches, dizzy spells or floating
specks before the eyes. They usu
ally indicate a poisoned condition
of the system which leads to high
blood pressure. Due to our abnor
mal habits of living we place too
great a strain upon the vital organs-,
especially the liver.
The liver becoming weak or slug
gish fails to cleanse the blood of the
poisons formed in food waste. The
whole system becomes toxic then,
affecting stomach, kidneys, heart,
blood pressure and blood vessels.
The liver occasionally needs a lit
tle help, and there’s nothing better
for this, as medical men now know,
than a little ox gall. Ox gall is a re
markable natural stimulant for the
human liver, promoting its normal
active functioning, so essential to
real health. Dioxot tablets are gen
uine ox gall in dainty and tasteless
form, each tablet representing 19
drops of pure ox gall. To be sure
of getting the genuine ox gall, be
sure of getting Dioxol. They cost
less than 2c each at good druggists,
and a few tell.
FrOftToct Take this ad to the
llvv ivwl druggist named be
low and he will give you a free
sample of Dioxol tablets. Try
them yourself. See the splendid,
quick results. One trial of Dioxol
and you will want a full package!

Anew airplane camera has
been perfected, for army use, that
will take pictures of a four-mile

A drive for 1,000 Indianapolis
members of the National Aeronautic
Association was begun today, with
formation of a local chapter of the
national organization.
Fifty persons interested in de
velopment of aviation, business
leaders, national guard reserve and
commercial aviation officers were
present at a meeting at the Indiana
National Guard Armory Monday
night and signed the application for
a charter. It is expected that the
national charter will be received in
thirty days.
The National Aeronautic Associa
tion is the American branch of the
Federation Aeronautic Internation
ale and is the offeial governing body
for aviation events, records, rules
and general promotion and encour
agement of flying.
E. S. Gcrrell of the Stutz Motor
Car Company is Indiana governor of
the national body.
May. R. F. Taylor of the Indiana
National Guard presided at the or

Want Air Current Reports
Aviation enthusiasts in Indian
apolis today circulated a petition
asking Meteorologist J. H. Arming
ton of the local United States
Weather-Bureau to add “upper air
current” reports for the benefit of
fliers.
Paul H. Moore, Chamber of Com
merce aviation committee secretary,
said about forty had signed the re
quest. A conference is scheduled
with Armington on the possibility
of additional weather reports to
aid pilots.
Meteorologist Armington said he
would transmit the request to the
Weather Bureau chief at Washing
ton.
“I am unable to say what will be
done until the chief of the weather
bureau passes on the petition. It
is the policy of the bureau generally
to meet the demands on the depart
ment as far as possible with the
present personnel and funds avail
able from congressional appropria
tion,” Armington said.
Donald A. McConnell at Stout
field is a cooperative airway ob
server for the Chicago bureau and
sends daily reports to facilitate the
mail planes.
Flying forecasts are issued by the
Government along well-established
air routes, the reports for this dis
trict being issued at twelve-hour
periods from Chicago. Pilots are
dependent on weather reports in
long flights.
The development of aiviation lo
cally probably will in time lead to
extension of the bureau’s reports, it
is said.
Flying forecasts which give the
“upper air currents” are obtained
by a pilot balloon station, several
thousand feet in the air, observed
with a theodolite, an instrument
similar to a surveyor's instrument,
equipped with a telescope graduated
horizontally and vertically.

FROM ELECTION
QUIZ IN CHICAGO
Factional Feud Grows as
Probe Is Placed in
Special Hands.
BY JAMES QUISENBERRY
United Tress Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO, May 15.—Bitterness
developed rapidly in the feud be
tween Chicago officials and civic
organizations today with the ap
proach of a special grand jury in
vestigation into an alleged “politi
cal-criminal alliance.”
Murders, bombing. kidnaping,
sluggings—the reign of gang vio
lence which terrorized the last
primary election campaign—will be
resurrected from the police records
by the special grand jury in an at
tempt to fix responsibility for the
disorders.
For once, however, the big parade
of crime will not pass before State s
Attorney Robert E. Crowe. Crowe
virtually lost his fight with the
Chicago Bar Association, which pe
titioned for the investigation, over
the appointment of a special State’s
attorney to lead the inquiry, and
ias a result his place will be taken,
on this occasion, by Attorney Gen
eral Carlstrom.
Carlstrom Was expected to arrive
here Thursday to take charge ot
the inquiry.
The action of Chief Justice Wil
liam V. Brothers of the Criminal
Court, in appointing Carlstrom to
act as special State's attorney, gave
the bar association leaders the first
major victory in their fight against
Crowe, whom they had denounced
bitterly in- asking for the investi
gation.
“I am convinced,” Chief Justice
Brothers said in his ruling, “that
a state of affairs exists where the
public is aroused and where some
thing should be done, and that at
once.”
Crowe, in denying the bar asso
ciation’s charges that he possessed
a disqualifying interest in vote
frauds or violence, accused his op
ponents of coming into court “with
a Bible in one hand and a bucket
of mud in the other.”
He charged the association’s peti
tion was a political move'by the
faction of Senator Charles S.

STRESEMANN.
BERLIN LEADER,
CRITICALLY ILL
Condition Reported Grave
as Catarrah Weakens
Heart Action.
Hu l. iiilcil Press
BERLIN, May 15.—Dr. Gustav
Stresemann, German foreign minis
ter, was seriously ill today and doc
tors were alarmed because his heart
action has been weakened by gas
tric intestinal catarrh.
At midnight it was said the for
eign minister was w-orse. Doctors
were in constant attendance.
Dr. Stresemann became ill short
ly after he returned to Berlin from
Heidelberg. It was believed that
his condition had been induced by
ptomaine poisoning, which had re
vived kidney trouble from which the
German leader had been a chronic
sufferer.
His condition became worse Mon
day and doctors were alarmed by
the weakness of his heart action.
They said his recovery depended
first on his heart and then on im
provement of his kidneys.
At 10 a. m. today Stresemann's
condition was said to be unchanged
and still critical.
Disclosure that Stresemann’s con
dition was grave ended rumors that
this was a “diplomatic illness” by
which he ha dlioped to avoid receiv
ing a host of offeial congratulations
on his 50th birthday, May 10.
Opposition newspapers today
joined in washing a swift recovery to
the foreign minister. The Tage
blatt paid a tribute to Stresemann,
saying;
“His is a wise foreign political
leadership and he is an eminent per
sonality.”
