INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Feb. 26. --Absence of 18 democratic mem bers from the senate stopped the legislative machinery in the tipper house of the Indiana general as sembly today.

Two of the minority senators were unable to leave Indiana be- cause of Illness. The republican senators met as usual at 10 a. m. today, but devoted their discus sion to means which might be em ployed to return the fugitives. Indictment under a state law providing Jl.OOO fine for a legis lator who absents himself, was suggested but admittedly was not - a solution of the problem of gett lng the minority members back to their seats.
