LAWSAYS ALL MUST REGISTER i i ASK ASSEMBLY FOR NEW BOARD Attorney General and Other Lawyers Investigate Powers of State to Control Fuel Costs. GOVERNOR'S BILL IS READY Proposed Legislation Would' Give Right to Take Over Mines in Emergency. INDIANA STATU CAPITOL, July 15.

Governor Goodrich has called upon Klo Stansbury, attorney general, and Ferdinand Winter, an Indianapolis attorney, to pass upon the legality 'of a bill now prepared providing for tho appointment of stato coat commission which would have full authority to fix the price of coal in Indiana and to compel distribution within tho state until all domestic needs are filled. Tho state legal department gave Its undivided attention to tho study of the bill und separate reports will be made to Mr. Stansbury and Governor Goodrich Friday morning by Mr. Winter. The Governor declared that if It "Is found that Indiana Jias tho power to enact such legislation to give relief to the people of the state from alleged excessive, coal he will submit tho measure to the special session.

the Legislature and urge its Mr. Stansbury declared tonight that, while further Investigation might change his views, ho Is now of the opinion that the proposed price-fixing board would be valid. Commission of Three The proposed measure would call for the appointment of commission of three members to be known as tho Indiana coal commission. commissioners would have full authority to make exhaustive Investigations of the mines of Indiana and to command any kind of reports that would enlighten them as to the cost of production and actual operating conditions In the coal Industry. The commission would have the power to fix tho price of coal for sale within tho state and tho bill also would vest tho fuel commission with power to regulate tho 'distribution of coal.

The commission would have the right to, limit the sale of coal outside of Indiana until all needs within the state-are filled. In event any operator falls to comply with the provisions of the law or the orders of the commission an.i willfully obstructs production the bill provides -thnt the mine or mines In question can be taken over und operated under1 the direction of the state commission- The owner of tho mine would bo paid nil operating expenses and a fair profit on his Investment during such state operation, according to tho measure The state commission would have the authority to determine just what. the -operating expenses In such cases would be and to tlx the rate of roturn on the property so used by the state. Suggested (Fir6t During War. The framework of the bill was drafted by Will H.

Thompson, an Indianapolis attornoy, in 1917. when ho was actiruj as counsel for tho state council of de-i fense. The Governor requested tte drafting of the measure ut that time becauso of war conditions, but It waa not necessary for the state to enact such legislation because the fuel situation was taken over by the Federal government. t. Careful consideration was given to, tho preparation of tho bill at tho time because It was an Innovation In state -legislation and there were no preee-; dents on which to base it.

Mr- Thomp son at tho time conferred with Levy-Mayer of Chicago, a recognized author-' -Ity on corporation law, who served, as 1 the chairman of the Illinois state. coun- ell of defense. At the time there waa fear that the -measure might conflict with regulations of the Interstate commerce commlaV slon, or with other well founded prlncl- pics of law, but It was expected that during the emergencies, of war the. measure would stand a test In the courts. While there have been somo decisions of the United States court with which tho measure might conflict It Is the theory of- the: attorneys at work on the bill that Its provisions may be sustained by the courts on ground, that tho state tas Inherent police powers which" It may exercise to' protect Its cltlrens.

INDIANA STATR CAPITOL, July 1.1. Scnato amendments to the deli eleney appropriation bill, which was passed In the upper house this afternoon by rt vote of 35 to 0, brought the total of the appropriations for the second special session of the Legislature up to uproxlmately 11,450,000, or nearly, double the total in the bill as It passed the House yesterday. Tho largest single Item added-to the appropriations by a Senate amendment is $500,000 for the state highway commission. When the bill was placed on Its passage several members took exception to the Incorporation of the additional appropriations, but explained that they would not vote against the measure because It included the allowance of revenue so seriously needed by state Institutions. Senator Luke W.

Duffey jjf Indianapolis, who Introduced the state highway cominlsHlon appropriation amendment, explained that' the Item was merely a renpproprlXtlon of money which had been appropriated to the old highway commission by the 1917 Legislature and reverted to the state general fund because litigation suspended the operations of the state road department. He asserted that 'the money was again reapproprlatt-d by the 1919 As-Hcmbly when the new highway commission jaw was passed, but that for some reason the commission had never been able to collect this revenue because of technical difficulties following an opin ion by tht attorney general. Opposition to the appropriation of J500.000 to the highway commission was made by Senator Alfred Hogston of Marion. He declared thnt It was absolutely unnecessary to rcapproprlate the nmount nt this time If It had been regularly appropriated in the 1919 session. I am opposed to this action." he de clared, "bin this appropriation is in cluded with things that an; absolutely necessary and I am, therefore, forced to vote for the passaro of tho bill." Criticizes Expense.

Senator Kdwnrd P. Eisner of Seymour, Democratic door leader, took occasion to explain his vote by pointing out that the special appropriations would reach nearly "As far as Institutional appropria tions are concerned, they need them, and I will not stand In their way," Bald So nit tor Klsuer. "I do believe that thire art some Items here that are excessive. At the session I held out for higher appropriations for the Institutions. It strikes me that the expenses of the ad ministration are unusually high.

The appropriations weru never higher than they were at the 1919 session, and yet we are called back hero to appropriate approximately more. In vie. i3u of the needs of tho Institutions 1 vote Tor the bin. have been hearing a great deal about the Incompetency of this Legislature Inside and out of it, and I think that most of It Is cheap political bunk," said Senator Oscar Ratta of Paotl. "1 am tired of hearing 'I told you Theru is not a man here who could 'foresee as a result of tho termination of the war that prices would go up Instead of down.

Tho appropriations were not trimmed by tho 1919 session, and In many cases-the Institutions were grunted exactly the amount they re- CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE. (PhOti by FENCES ISOLATE COLORED OWNER Capitol Avenue Residents 0b-ject'to Purchase of Property by Dr. Meriwether. Residents of the neighborhood of Capitol avenue and Twenty-third street, among them several prominent families, have, financed the erection of two fences Isolating the house at U257 North Capitol nvenue, owned and occupied by Dr. Lucliui Meriwether, a colored den tist.

The fences were completed yesterday. They aro constructed of unpalht-ed boards, placed closely together, and extend entirely to the sidewalk line. The one on the south Is ten feet high and that on the north six feet high. The fences are only a few feet distant from either side of Dr. Meriwether's house.

i Ira M. Holmes, 21C4 North Capitol! nvenue, said last night that the fences will be paid for by members of the Capitol Avenue Protective Association, i which is determined to prevent the loca- tlon of colored persons in that district. The association Is composed of persons living on Capitol avenue between Sixteenth and Thirty-fourth streets. Among of the Immediate neighborhood of Dr. Meriwether's house nre Henry L.

DIthmer, Gustavo G. Schmidt, Mr. Holmes, Joseph A. Minium, William N. Plcken and A.

H. Shanebergcr, Refers. All to Attorney. Dr. Meriwether referred questioners to his attorney who could not be found.

He filed an Injunction suit In Superior court yesterday against Gabriel Slutzky, 2253 North Capitol avenue, on whose property, adjoining tho dentist's on Che south, one of the fences stands. The case is returnable Aug. 2. Meriwether purchased the Capitol avenue property about two months ago. Mr.

'Holmes, said tho protective association made the dentist nn offer exceeding price he paid for It, but the dentist refused. "We have no quarrel to pick with tho colored residents ofMndiunapollt," said Mr. Holmes. "We have no desire to antagonize them, but we believe thoy should live within their own communities and not try to remove Into the white residential sections." Other Reprisals Threatened. It was reported In the neighborhood that another house in tho same block has 'been sold to a colored family.

Mr. Holmes said that, should the residents be unable to prevent tho sale, more fencing methods will be attempted. The protective association will hold a meeting thla evening In Weabcr's Hall, Capitol avenue and Thirty -fourth street, when the sltu-tlon probably will be discusicd. Mr. Holmes said ho understood a number of other North side civic organizations are planning similar methods to prevent colored families from moving into the districts.

He was directed to keep oh driving until lie reached a dark spot along the street.

SEARCH FORI COMPROMISE Special Committee Named to Thrash Question Out and Report This Morning. INDIANA STATE CAPlVoL, July 15. Six hours of caucusing this afternoon tonight failed to bring Republican memberH.of the of Represcnta- Uvea any nearer a break In the tax deadlock. The caucus adjourned at 10:35 o'clock tonight, after an afternoon and an'eve-nlng session, to meet again at 8 o'ctock Friday, morning. Meanwhile a committee of thirteen membors, representing each congressional district of tne.

state, will try to work out o-blll that will obtain the support of every-member of the Discussion In the caucus, which began at 3 o'clock this afternoon and took nn hour's recess at, o'clock for, dinner, touched every poralblc solution that has been suggested since the Supreme court's decision threw public revenues of the state Into chaos. Seven Plans Debated. Among the principal proposals considered at the caucus were these: 1. To pass the Tuthltl bill' without (This Is the admlnlstra -tlon measure, drafted after conferences with representative lawyers from all the larger cities, and counties of the'sMte.) 2. To amend the Tuthlll bill along lines proposed by Representative" WU-Ham McMaster of Indianapolis, pro.

vtdlrlg, that- legalization shall not operate to any property at more than Itstru encash value, and that, taxing unitswhere'-the Horizontal Increase Has- bcen adjudicated shall be exempt from the legalization. To substitute a bill approved by the Indiana Federation of provldlnn rfor an adjustment of assessments by county boards of re. view the state tax board, 'and authorizing a new levy for this fall to cover deficits. 4. To amend the Tuthlll bill by strik- Ing ouf; Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5, thereby making It solely' a legalizing measure, without providing for appeal; special levies or temporary loans.

5. To substitute the bill of Representative William L. Wood of Ben-tan, Jasper and Newton counties, providing for a legalization of assessments and levies based on the horizontal Increases for the remainder of this year, and for a readjustment of assessments and levies next-year, with a rebate In 1921- of excess taxes paid under the 'horizontal Increases this year. 6. To substitute a measure proposed by Laughlln of Daviess county legalizing the horizontal Increases but forbidding the tax board to make any more such Increases.

7. To authorize extraordinary levies for this fall based on assessments with the horizontal Increases deducted. Suggestions for now levies, necessitating new assessments, and entailing much lubor by assessors, auditors anil were received with scant attention. It was agreed that such a solution -would lead to endless confusion, nd might be physically impossible of realization in a number of large coun-tlcs. For this reason the measure proposed by the farmers' federation, which' at first was hailed as a light in the wilderness by a' considerable number of House Republicans, was discarded early In the caucus debate.

Marlon County a Unit. Marlon county representatives stood a unit for the McMastcj- amendment, but rural legislators and those from see- on.1 and third-class cities received It with frank hostility. The effect, would be, according to tho view of the out-county to relieve Marion county from paying taxes to tho atate on somo $150,000,000 of valuation ty. cause tho FtosFon case, in which the Supremo court gave Its ruling, affects eight of the nln-i townships of Marlon county. Representative GlennHarrls of Lake county was particularly pronounced In his opposition Iq any exclusion of Ma-.

rfon county from the operation of the legalizing bill, pointing to, the fact that if horizontal Increases are deducted In Marlon Uh assessment" total will be only very slightly In excess of that of Lake county. Reasons'1 of party expediency are guiding party leaders In their" deter-mined stand for the legalizing act. They point to the fact that It has-been accepted as tho easiest and most logical solution of "tho dilemma by city and county officiate, Democratic as well as Republican, fn many parts of the mate. They urge also that It will Involve a minimum of confusion In 'collecting the fall installments. They declare also that it will less to the dlsad-rvantage of the Republicans' in the campaign than a new would serve to keep the tax question alive In the minds of the people because of the-herculean tnsk of making new assessments and computing now levies.

Winkler pushed against some boards on one side and found himself In the doorway of a subterranean room. Inside were a bed, a table and several household utensils. "The room was small and tho wall toward the hill seemed to have been boarded up to keep the earth from caving in.

The squad tore down tho still and loaded all the booty Into an automobile.

As the policy were driving toward Oaklandon, they met John Abraham, 202 Geisendorff street, formerly tho owner of a near beer saloon at 559 West Washington street, and Clarence Tat-ton, a former Indianapolis policeman. Abraham admitted under questioning, Sergeant Winkler said, that he was operating the still and. that he sold his product for a gallon. The pluro he used belongs: to Pat ton, but both he and Patton denied that the latter knew anything about the still. Abraham was arresed.

BY EVERETT C. WATKINS. All Indiana voters, both men and women, must register In their respective precincts to bo eligible to vote Nov. 2. Both the Republican and Democratic state are formulating preliminary plans, for the fall registration drives.

Each party will make a heavy effort In this presidential year to get its full strength registered to the end that It can make Its best showing election day. Voters will have two opportunities to register, first on Sept. -I, nnd again on Oct. 4. Those who fail to register on one of those two days will bo out of luck on the first Tuesday In November and will have no chance to exercise "self determination" In tho matter of a President of the United States and a Governor of the state.

It is the belief at state headquarters of tho two parties that It will be easier to get womun registered than men. The novelty of voting, It Is be llevcd by party chiefs, will appeal to women strong enough to cause them to roclater' without solicitation. A women have not been keenly Interested in the suffrago movement, but now that suffrage Is a fact. It Is bolleved they will not hesitato to exercise the privilege or right, whichever it Is, to cast their ballots. Seek to Change Law.

Legislation Is pending in the present session of the General Assembly to pro- I(le for permanent registration, making registration unnecessary hereafter ex cel) by voters who chango precincts be tween elections. This legislation win not apply to this election, so a compleU new registration must be made this fall, The women's bureaus In each of the two state headquarters wilt begin their activities shortly. Mrs. Alice Foster McCulloch of Fort Wayne, woman Dem ocratlc state chairman, and Miss Gertrude McHugh of state Bccrctnry of the woman's state committee, have not arrived from San Fran cisco, where they- nttended the national convention.
