280 HEW LAWS PUT
IN STATE LAW BOOK
BY 1921 ASSEMBLY
By Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind.. March 28.
Two hundred and eighty new laws rj
suited from the introduction of 832
bills 165 in the bouse and S67 in the
senate in the 1921 session of the In
' diana .legislature: ; The session, the
72 nd was marked by effective opposi
tion to extreme regulatory measures,1
and a proposed extension of blue laws
' was 'left to die" in the house.
Governor McCray counselled judici
ous scrutiny . of all' proposed legisla
tion and enactment of few laws in his
message and at the close of the ses-
sion'he expressed' himself as well
pleased with the consideration given
his advice. The governor vetoed six
measures and refused to receive 15
others in the final rush.
Extreme Penalties.
Treatment of the crime wave occu
pied much time in the opening days of
the two month's session. A new crime,
defined as "automobile banditry," was
covered by a statute which provides
penalty of three to five years for first
offense and 10 to 20 for a second. Use
of an automobile by two or more per
sons to accomplish a crime or to es
cape from the scene of a crime con
stitutes automobile banditry under the
Indiana law.
Severe penalty for robbery with a
deadly weapon is contained in another
new law. For the first offense 10 to
20 years is prescribed and for the sec
ond, life imprisonment. A determined
effort was made to prescribe life im
prisonment for first offense of high
way robbery or burglary, but it failed.
One of the hotly contested struggles
of the session centered about a mo
lion picture censorship measure,
providing for censorship and regis
pproviding tor censorship and regis
tration of films by the state board of
education and another providing for
appointment of a board of censorship.
A measure similar to the latter was
passed by the lower house, but killed
in the senate. An amendatory bill to
bring the state's "blue" laws up-to-
date and to leave no loophole for Sun-t
day movies or baseball was never
handed down on third reading.
Measures sponsored by women's or
ganizations did not fare well, although
for the first time in history a woman,
Mrs. Julia Nelson, of Delaware coun
ty, sat as a member of the Indiana
house of representatives. A strong
campaign was made for a nine-hour
day for women in industry but the bill
was killed in the bouse.
CONDITION OF MAYOR
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
The condition of Dr. W. W. Zimmer
man who suffered a slight stroke of
apoplexy Saturday morning, was re
ported better Monday afternoon.
Mayor Zimmerman recovered to such
an extent Sunday that he took a short
walk but suffered a relapse and was
confined to his bed.
His condition was considered very
serious Saturday and little hope was
held for his recovery for several hours.
A turn for the better was made Satu
rdy afternon and the mayor is now
considered out of danger.

OF OLD MASTERS OWNED BY CHARLES TAFT
(By Associated Press)
CINCINNATI, O., March 28.-
-In the
low old fashioned colonial home here
of Charles P. Taft, brother of the for
mer president, is to be found one of
the finest private collections of. the
old masters in this country. Little
known to the public at large, the
paintings that Mr. and Mrs. Tait have
acquired in the past 20 years are noted
in the small circle of the artistic.
The collection is built around the
Dutch. English and French schools. In
some case3 the Taft pictures are the
finest examples of their authors to be
seen In the United States.
This is notably true, according to
the late Frank Duveneck, of Frans
Hals and two of his portraits to be
found here, "The Young man of Haar-!
lem,' 'and "The Young Woman of
Haarlem." There was no better judge
of Hals in America than Duveneck, in
the judgment of friends of the noted
Cincinnati artist.
Representation of the Dutch school

ters, both early and late. Among fa
miliar names of this school to be
found in the Taft homestead are
Rembrandt, Terborch, Steen, Ruis

EMBASSY DISMISSES
NON-AMERICAN HELP
(By Associated Press)
ROME, March 28 Dismissal of non-
American employes at the American j
embassy, which has been ordered from
Washington, does not occasion any
concern over the fact that they might
reveal information of a secret charac-
ter, since the embassy has always
guarded confidential correspondence
with the utmost care. The embassy,
however, is concerned over the reduc
tion of its force, which already is cut i
down by changes made during the past
year. . During recent months, the
American embassy here has been a
source of supply from which have been
drawn men who have been sent to
other diplomatic posts. As a result
the present staff is comparatively new.
Two English and one Italian clerk will
probably be affected by the new order,
! and it will be necessary to supplant
them with Americans having a thor
ough knowledge of the Italian lan-1
guage, customs and viewpoints.

PREVENTS EMIGRATION

! numbers of the laboring classes of
both England and France want
