in the automobile while the other two
committed the robbery.
Mr. Steiner was standing at the cigar
case when the men entered, and one of
them covered him wj th a revolver, while
the other walked to the cash register
and helped himself to $64.
They were about to leave the store
when the man with the gun told his
companion to search the man sitting at
the table with the girl.
The robber searched Ed Gass, 1942
Churchman avenue, and relieved him of
Sin and a uatch. The robbers then got
into the automobile and drove away.
In the store at the time of the robbery
beside Mr. and Mrs. Steiner and Mr. Gass,
were Dorothy Parmody. 2016 North Del
aware street, and Herbert Harding, 16,
129 East Sixteenth street.
Sergt. Houston and a squad of polire
searched for the robbers without suc
cess.
The same men stopped at the Standard
Oil filling station at Capitol avenue and
North street and asked Clayton Swift,
721 West Thirty second street, who was
in charge, for some water to fill their
radiator.
As Swift started to get the water he
found himself covered by a revolver.
One of the men remained in the driver’s
seat of the automobile while the other
two had entered the filling station build
ing.
They relieved Swift of his watch valued
at *SO and then ordered him to go up
stairs and unlock the safe, but one of
the robbers first went to the cash regis
ter and stole *IOO.
They were about to force Swift to go
to the upstairs room when the outside
man gave a signal, indicating that an
other automobile was coming.
Jerking the telephone loose from the
the robbers ran to their au
tomobile and drove away.
Sergt. Winkler and a squad of police
were sent to the scene, but failed to find
the robbers.
The police obtained the same descrip
tion of the three men and the automobile
as had been given following the rob
ery at Mrs. Steiner's confectionery store.
At the confectionery store the robber
who took the money from the cash drawer
dropped some small change on the floor.
The thiee men had been In the store
a few minutes earlier in the night and
bought some matches.
After the men bad committed the hold
up Mr. Steiner attempted to follow them
in his antomoblle, but soon lost trace of
them.

added, ' bat we have all we can do to
look out for the inmates.
"If the present number increases 1
don't know what we will do."
With the forthcoming resignation of
Dr. Loren S. Hyde, Julietta superintend
ent. plans may be formulated to reor
ganize the institution.
Commissioner Hayes has suggested that
more of the men of the institution be
compelled to work more in the garden
and the orchards and thereby be bene
fited physically.
"If we need more guards to look out
after these laborers, then let's get them." 1
Mr. Hayes insisted.
In the meantime "Buddy" sits out
there in the men s ward.
Tied to a rude bench he has littlo
chaECe to Improve mentally or physically.
NO EFFORT TO GIVF,
BOY PROPER ATTENTION.
In an atmosphere of dispalr and men
tal distraction, the light-haired lad lives ,
day by day a victim of unfair circum
stances. no effort being made by state :
authorities to lift him from such sur
roundings and place him where he might
receive the advantages of advanced
science.
Except when he is subject to attacks
of epilepsy, ‘‘Buddy’’ realizes everything
that goes on and his main occupation is
watching the strange antics of his wild
companions.
Instead of sunshine and flowers, and
wonderful music nnd pictures, and the
facilities of Newcastle or Ft. Wayne.
"Buddy* must hear the heart-rending
walls of incurable insane men and wom
en, as he passes the dreary days within
the brick walls of Julietta.
When asked for a statement of the
present condition of the facilities for
epileptictreatment and attention, nnd
an opinion in the case ofg "Buddy.” Amos
Butler, secretary of the state board of ■
charities, declared every effort was be- j
ing made to improve conditions.
Mr. Butler pointed out that legislative
aid financially to carry on the work of
development of the Newcastle village for
epileptics would improve conditions.
“But the people of Indiana scarcely
realize the scope of the work for helping
the feeble-minded and epileptic, to say
nothing of the insanity problems con
fronting us,” Mr. Butler said.
“We are doing everything possible to
bring the facts to the attention of the
citizens, speeding annually enormous
sums of money, hoping to be able to get
increased appropriations to take the sit
uation in hand, planning educational
measures that will help decrease the
alarming increase In numbers of mental i
defectives.
“And as for the case of the boy at !
Julietta. I gee. acording to this report
of the superintendent, that the lad is
epileptic, paralytic, and idiotic, but I j
will have another investigation made of !
his case, and see If we can not find room j
for him in some better place if It Is
possible.
"In many such cases, where there has 1
not been room in the state institutions, i
rcapplication should be made at least ;
every six months in order to try to find
a vacancy.
"Indiana is a pioneer state in the sur- j
vey of mental defectives, and it is to be I
hoped that the people will hack the work i
to the extent of their ability, for It Is
a paramount issue in the state’s welfare.
“Money must not be appropriated
stintedly; every citizen should realize
the need of attention to mental defec
tives, and ihis board will be glad of
co-operation of the counties in solving
the problems arising.”
In a recent report submitted to the
governor, it is shown that only 23
per cent of the epileptics needing
care are in the state village for epilep
tics at Newcastle.
In the state there are 1,159 epileptic
persons In need of institutional care,
the report declares, with only 348 per
sons in the state institution, and 378
others housed in other public institu
tions, poor asylums, hospitals for the
insane, prisons, etc.
The committee aubmitting the report
recomended the enlargement at the earl
iest tpossibi i date of the Village for Epi
leptics to i 1,200 capacity, and the erec
tions of a njedical building, a school build-
Ingjand industrial buildings.
U. S. FINANCES
IN SAFE HANDS
B. C. Biggerstaff Optimistic
After Eastern Conferences.
Financial affairs of the nation are in
safe hands, declared B. C. Biggerstaff,
editor of the Daily Drovers Telegram ot
Kansas City, while In Indianafoils to
day, on his return from conferences with
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Wisconsin bankers.
"I have never seen such a concerted and
dispassionate handling of the financial
and industrial situation,” he said.
“Under such conditions we can hope for
the best, and already there is a trend
toward a relaxation of the tenseness that
has been so marked for some time. E. B.
Clare-Avery, assistant to President Still
man of the National City bank of New
j York City, told me that the peak of the
! crisis has been passed. President Ripley
i of the Merchants National bank of Boston
| and President William Law of the First
j National bank of Philadelphia are each
optimistic of a turn for the better.
"The west has immense production of
farm crops, but It needs box cars to move
its grain and hay products. We need
money badly In the west and southwest.
! as our assets and collateral have been
• frozen up for some time, and if we could
secure closed car equipment to move our
wheat and other grains we would have
more money to operate on and the east
would be securing the supplies of food
materials that it needs very badly.
‘‘We are alarmingly short of beef an
imals In the west and southwest, and a
great deal of grazing land grass is going
to waste.
"Severe winter weather in the early
spring months two seasons ago con
tributed to tbe shortage by the heavy
mortality that came in cows and calves.
CORN MAKES IP
FOR LATE START.
“Nature has been kind to the farmers
of the west and southwest this year.
Corn was cared for with the mlntra im of
labor In a dry June, and made a late
start good by a good growth. The dry
June favored the harvesting of immense
j hay crops, alfalfa, red clover and wild
| hays.
"Our wheat crop in Kansas, Missouri,
1 Oklahoma and Texas is Immense.
| “The most severe phase of the finan
' rial situation in the west, aside from
1 assets and collateral being frozen up. is
the fact that cattle raisers are unable to
secure funds to replete their breeding
| herds.
| "This will be felt very keenly for the
next three years in a very marked de
crease in the beef cattle supplies of the
country. Western operators also are
complaining of the cost of the little cap
ital they can hire at this time. But the
west is learning one lesson. It must be
come more provident, nnd must cease to
rely on tbe east for such financial sup
| piles as it has been accustomed to in
■ the past.
FINANCES WORLD
AS WELL AS C. S.
' "NVw York, Boston and Philadelphia
j are not only bearing tb burdeu of the
financing of the United States, but of
! the world as well, siuce world-wide con
j dltlona have changed and the United
I States has become the creditor nation of
; the world.
I "This means that the west must
finance Itself to a larger extent than
I heretofore, and. while this economic
| change may work temporary hardships.
it will all work out for the better in the
j long run.
"Eastern bankers virtually have elimi
nated the use of money for speculative
1 purposes and this will react in more
j capital for the use of the vital nnd es
i sential industries both east and west.
| and will tend to reduce eventually the
j cost of living.
1 “The entire country is Liberty bond
poor, and our admirable federal reserve
banking system has stood the dual test
of taking care of the commercial and
j industrial life of the nation while flnatic
i lag the war, the latter being a function
i that was never dreamed of at the time
of the passage of the federal reserve
I act.”

SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR ASSEMBLY
TO END TONIGHT
(Continued From Page One.)
on these two bills with the lieutenant
governor insisting that) the amended
home rule bill be approved by the lower
house and the house refusing to agree,
thus causing the presiding officer of the
senate to withhold the substitute tax
bill from the lower house of 'repre
senatives.
There are several Important house
bills which were amended by the senate
that are in the hands of Joint committees
of both houses to report back to their
respective houses.
Among these are the Johnson bill re
storing tax levy and bond issuing pow
ers to the local taxing units and clip
ping tlm power of the state tax board
and the measure restoring the lost
amendments to the county unit road law.
The senate committee on the Johnson
bill is made up of Senators Brown, All
dredge and Hogston.
The members of the senate committee
on lost amendments include Senators
Nedjl, Arnold and Strode, while the
house members are Representative Bul
! ler, Willis of Steuben and Representative
j Gibbons.
i Another bill In the hands of a joint
i committee is house bill No. 547, which
restores the fee of $5 a day to the
county auditor and treasurer for attend
ing meetings of the county board of re
view.
The senate members of this Joint
committee are Smith, Wolfson and Doug
las, while the house members are Ma
lott, Scott and f’ann.
It is apparent already that if the Good
rich legislature does not terminate its
sessions tonight the reason will be the
failure of the conference committee of
both houses to agree on the amendments
as made for the Johnson bill.
Strenuous opposition is expected to the
amendments as passed by the senate in
tbe Johnson hill.
The “fireworks" were touched off last
night in the senate when the senators
began to play ufter passing the substi
tute bill for the Tuthiil house legaliz
ing bill.
Taking the first opportunity to aval:
himself of the right of special privi
lege, Senator Oscar Hatts, Lawrence and
other counties, made a talk in which
: he said he had heard some complaint
from members of the lower house that
he had said “unfriendly things against
members of the house and its presiding
officer.”
Ratts said he never had made such
remarks that he would not apologize.
He proceeded then to make glowing re
marks about the splendid attributes of
House Speaker Eschbach and other mem
bers of the house.
Then Senator Negley, Marlon, took ot
cation to liven up matters by saying
ht- had heard such remarks and assured
ihe senate he never entertained sm-h
feelings.
Then Senator Klper stated that to
speed up matters he would make a mo
tion that the remarks rs Senator Ratts
| be made in u motion to assure the good
will of the senate toward the house.
i Senators objected to this because It was
, contended Ratts had never uttered a word
1 on the floor of the senate against the
| members of the houee and that the senate
never had any official knowledge of the
attitude of the house towerd the ru
| mo red remarks.
Senator Klper’s motion then was tabled
, and then Senator Luke Duffey, Marlon,
i got Into the mlxup by introducing a
I brand-new motion worded to inform the
house that the senate has only the k’ud
j est regards for that body.
That was promptly voted down.
Then Lieut. Gov. Bush rapped for
j order as a senator called for a bill on
i third reading.
1 "That’s the most sensible thing I have
i heard and shows the chair that the sen
ate intends to get down to business
again." said Lieut. Gov. Bush.
"This Is no place,” he continued, re
ferring to Kenator Ratts' statements,
j "and no time for any one to air any po
! Iltlca! differences and to make political
| capital.
! "We are here to transa-t important
; business and the heart strings of every
1 majority member of the senate tonight
are healing to pass good legislation and
speed up these proceeding,
"And the patriotic members of the
opposing side are not here to hinder and
delay the enactment of legislation which
! the citizen, of the state are demanding.
”1 regret to have to speak of the es
forts of a member of this bouse to make
a cheap political record t this time.
"1 congratulate the senate on voting
down such a proposition nnd I am going
to lay away my personal prejudices and
bury tny political ambitions to the end
that this special session shall enact some
of the best measures in the history of
the state.
"Finish this special session by Satur
day night, and we will, If the members
of this senate will co-operate with the
presiding officer of this hotly,” said Lieut.
Gov. Bush.
Senator Klper then asked if the chair
referred to him in bis remarks.
“Senn’or Klper, the chair did not,”
said teh lieutenant governor, “and if
this special session is a success, it will
he so because of your special devotion
nnd co operation."
Senator Kiper appeared well pleased
and sat down as the senate broke out
with prolonged applause.
Senator Ratts did not attempt to an
swer the remarks of Lieut. Gov. Bush
and the senate then passed a house bill
giving the power to the city council ot
Indianapolis to raise the salaries of dep
uty city clerks from the present salary of
$1,200 a year to a sum* not to exceed
$2,000 a year.
The senate fixed ns the speeial order
of business for this morning the Fiflold's
house hill, which Is a companion bill to
{he county unit road bill clarifying town
ship road situation.
The senate adjourned at 11 p. m. until
10 o'clock this morning.
Junior Chamber to
Hold Round Tables
——
That business round tables, starting
in September, will be each week a part
of the Junior chamber of commerce .
activities, was decided last night at the j
regular meeting of the organization.
A committee will be appointed by j
President Wallace Lewis, which will j
work out a course to he submitted for ;
approval.
Judge James A. Collins made an ad
dress, speaking at length on the things
that had been accomplished by Ihe
chamber of commerce in the last twenty
five years, and predicting that the next
ten years would show a growth to a half
million population.
Judge Collins predicted that public
sentiment would force the next legisla
ture to pass a prisoner’s compensation
law by which the families of inmates in
penal institutions would be supported.
A drive for 500 members by Sept. 4
was started at the meeting.
Four teams start to work this morn
ing.
Dinner meetings will be held each Fri
day evening during the campaign.

i The reported agreement of the soviet

PROVIDES FOR
RAISING FIND.
Another amendment, offered by Senator
Tague provides for the manner of raising
state's portion of the appropriation for
the memorial.
This amendment states that there shall
be levied upon the taxable property of
the state of Indiana for the years 1920,
1821, 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1925 for the
use of the board of trustees of the In
diana world war memorial in complying
w-lth the provisions of the memorial bill,

property in Indiana, in like manner as
other state taxes are assessed, levied and
i collected.
An amendment offered by Senator Os*
| car Ratts, Paoli, provides that as far as
f possible materials obtained from the
| state of Indiana shall be used exclu
| stvely in the erection of the memorial.
The amendment was concurred In
unanimously.
{ SAVS CITY "HOGS"
I GOOD THINGS.
In a scathing denunciation of the
i senators who, he claimed, "aiv* trying to
; perfect legislation whereby the citizens
i of Indianapolis and Marion county may
i dodge the payment of their full share
i of taxes,” Senator Beardsley charged In
j dianapolis and Marion county with try
| ing to "hog" all the good things.
Senator Beardsley's remarks we -e made
j in an effort to have the senate adopt- his
minority report favoring indefinite post
ponement of the measure.
“This is merely a bill to beautify the
city of Indianapolis," said the senator
from Elkhart.
"I hear that if this bill is not acted on i
favorably by this session of fie legis- j
| lature, that certain forces wiii work to j
’ the end that we may be defeated at the
i poll* next November.
i "The majority of the people of this
state are not in favor of this bill.
] "While we are starving the Inmates
j of our penal and benevolent institutions, |
and while cities are not able to raise
funds to provide proper housing facilities
for their citizens, we are asked to pro
vide millions of dollars for a memorial,
j which will do nothing but add to the
beauty of Indianapolis,” he concluded.
A storm of criticism was aroused by
: the remarks of Senator Beardsley, both
from the Marlon county representation
for his remarks against the people of
■ Marion county, and from other senators,
who denounced hls attitude against the
memorial.
Several speeches were made, both of
the stinging and flowery variety, sup
porting the memorial bill, and denounc
ing Senator Beardsley fur hls attitude
agalust the meajure.
HOUSE BALKS AT
H. C. L. AND FUEL BILL
The house today refused to concur in
amendment* proposed by the senate pro
viding for placing with the public serv
ice commission the added duty of in
vestigating and alleviating, if possible,
j the coni situation and the high cost of
food, for which the house originally in
tended a separate commission to be es-
I Uhllshed.
Representative Anderson made the mo
j tion that the house not concur in the
I amendments and that a conference com- j
, mlttee tie appointed.
1 Npesker Eschbach appointed Represen- i
' tatlves ItShmer. Phelps and Bonham to
meet with a similar committee from the
senate to discuss the measure.
The members of .senate committee are
! Meeker, Barnum and Duncan. ,
Representatives Winesburg and Bon- '■
ham originally introduced the bill, but
a committee substitute was adopted,
!>rovt'ilng for the creation of tbe Indiana
: eoirt commission, consisting of three
members, the duty of which was to ln
vestigate coa! conditions, fix coa! prices,
seize and operate mines for the state
and determine priority of shipments.
An amendment by Representative
Phelps, with provisions that the com
mittee also have charge of the invest!- j
gution and relief of the food cost situ- |
; ation, also was adopted by the house, j
The bill was passed under suspension
of rules by a vote of 68 to 8. and handed 1
to the senate, who proposed amending
it by conferring those duties to the puh- |
lie service commission Instead of creat- !
j Inga new commission.
Representative Phelps took the first
strand of opposition to the amendments
in the debate in the house.
’ The pc pie of the state demand pro- i
tection. and we are chosen to sec that j
they get it.
"We should take definite action against
the senate amendments, and create a
! commission in which we will have some
authority by virtue of the fact that one
of the members will be appointed by our
| speaker.”
CANS' UPHOLDS
, SENATE AMENDMENTS.
Representative Cann upheld the sena
torial amendments.
"I still feel that we should not have
| more commissions," he said.
He poluted out that by* giving the
! duties to the public service commission
j there would not be the added expense
jof *50,000 to $75,000 which would be i
made by the creation and maintenance of
; anew commission.
i "Why squander this money when it is
! probable the commission would not be ;
I effective?” he asked.
i "Let us try the plan with the public j
service commission.”
Representative Bonham, who is one of i
the sponsors of the original bill, was in
favor of rejection of the amendments.
“Tho public service commission al- j
ready has more work than it can ef
fectively accomplish,” he declared.
“We should not concur In the amend
ments because the public service com - ;
mission now has too many duties, and j
a committee whose duties are confined j
solely to one proposition would accom- J
pllsh more.”
Representative Cann then asked, “What 1
about this additional 1 cent extra on j
each ton of coal? Who pays it in the!
end ?"
“I would rather pay an extra 1 cent |
on each ton than pay the extra *4.50 on j
each ton that I am now paying,” Repre- !
sentstive Phillips replied.
Bills of minor importance occupied the
time of the lower house when that body
reconvened today after failing to obtain
a quorum last night.
Under suspension of rules, the house
passed house bill No. 595, which provides
Hint only a sufficient number of election
ballots be printed in voting precincts

By a vote of 53 ayes and 16 noes, sen
ate bill 351, increasing the salary of the
auditor of Knox county to $1,500 a year,
was passed.
The house by a vote of 71 ayes and no
noes adopted a senate resolution intro
duced by Senator Wolfson authorizing
the department of conservation to pro
pare a complete report on the natural
resources of all lands owned or con
trolled by the state and further provided
that this report be submitted in detail
at the next session of the legislature in
1921.
The house, by a vote of sixty ayes
and no noes, passed on third reading
senate bill No. 410, which legalizes all
acts of county commissioners in estab
lishing county line roads.
Speaker Eschbach announced that Kep
resen'ative John W. Winesburg, North
Manchester, was called to his home and
will be unable to return. •
For that reason the chair appointed
Representative Clinton H. Givan, Indian
apolis, to replace Mr. Winesburg on the
joint senate and house committee con
sidering the Johnson home rule bill as
amended by the senate yesterday.
In appointing Mr. Givan, the chair an
nounced he desired to name someone
who will bo in the city Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday.
This is taken to mean that Speaker
Eschbach has abandoned all hope of the
committee getting together on the John
son bill as amended by the senate, which,
clipped the power of the state tax board.
By a vote of forty-seven ayes and no
noes. the house refused to pass on third
reading house bill No. 575, which pro
vided for changing the course of dredged
ditches in Steuben county, where the
ditches are a menace to publie safety.
Tlie main objection to the bill was that
It provided a method of relief which is
not In accordance with the present laws.
SUBSTITUTE BILL
AWAITING HOUSE
The substitute tax bill of the senate,
which was passed by a vote of thirty
ayes nnd eleven noes, to correct the illegal
actions of the state board of tax commis
sioners in ordering invalid horizontal in-1
creases in assessments and at the same
time attempt to quiet public Indignation
1 against the board, today was waiting
approval jot the lower house.
The senate, during a stormy session
last night, pasted a substitute tax meas
; ure which combines some features of the
Kiper bill, with a few of the principal
, Features of the farmers' federation bill.
I The substitute bill as passed by the
senate places the corrective power in
the hands of the state tax board and
j ihp county hoard of renew.
The republican majority of the senate
j hopes by this method to cause sufficient
refunds to be made to reduce the general
; opposition to the horizontal Increases.
The majority senators for about a week
I bave considered many plans for getting
around the troublesome word, "legaliz
ing." and so worked out a plan which
i would not look as autocratic as the pro
j visions contained In the sweeping legai
j ' z i“g bill as passed by the lower house.
The senate roll call on the passage of
! the substitute tax bill is as follows:

Indianapolis machinist was down
with kidney trouble, lazy liver,
disordered stomach and
nervousness.
Claims the new medicine Dreco has
given him prompt relief and
advises the public to
try it.
“I advise everyone who has a sluggish |
liver, weak kidneys or stomach trouble, j
to get a bottle of Dreco at once, for it
will surely relieve them,” declared the
well known machinist, Mr. N. W. Thoon
burgti, of 962 Ewing street, Indianapolis,
Ind.
"I often had to get up five or six times
during the night; this broke up my rest
very badly and next morning I'd be tired
out and not fit for work, my liver was
lazy, which gave headaches, dizzy spells
nnd that no-account feeling; my food did
not digest well but lay heavy in my
stomach.
"Dreco put a stop to all this and now
I sleep the whole night through without
waking up; I never have a dizzy spell
nor backache. Dreco did me so much
good that my wife is also taking it and
it has about relieved her constipation and
nervousness. Both of us are great be
lievers in Dreco and have told a lot ol
our friends about it.”
Dreco acts on the bowels and relieve*
constipation, rouses a sluggish liver to
full action, strengthens the kidneys, pur
ifies the blood, quiets the nerves, Induces
sound sleep and acts as a tonic to the
vital organs, giving renewed energy ai.o
resistance.
