HARDING HEARS? THE GOOD NEVS

EARS BURN WITH THE GREAT TIDING OF HIS BRIGHT PRESIDENTIAL PROSPECTS. Marion, O'., July 27—Various subjects relating to management of the republican campaign were discussed by Senator Harding at a series of conferences with party leaders from several sections of the country. One of the callers was John r T. Adams, of lowa, vice-chair-man of the national committee, who reported on conditions in the west and told the nominee his acceptance speech had made a great hit (here. He predicted that the republicans would “sweep the > country.” Scott Bone, the national committee’s publicity director, also had a long talk with Senator Harding relative to the advertising campaign to be launched soon ip the interest, of the national ticket. Country Ablaze. Another caller was George B. Lockwood, editor of the National Republican of Washington, who told Senator Harding that a canvass of sentiment throughout the country indicated he would be elected “overwhelmingly.” During the day the nominee had hoped to begin preparation of a speech he will make here Saturday to a delegation from Mansfield, Ohio, but he said tonight he had not yet even decided what subjects he would discuss. . Roosevelt League. Support from the national Rooseeli league was promised to.day in a letter from its president, Bela Tokaji, who wrote: “Permit me pn behalf of the officers and members of the national Roosevelt league to compliment you on your common sense addfess, accepting the nomination. The salient points in that speech thoroughly appeal to all 100 per cent Americans. Those citizens who do not measure up to the Americanism you ate advocating count very little on election day. We pledge you our hearty support. You have our best wishes for success.”

NINE BILLION WAR WASTE

DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE WITH BLANKET AUTHORITY FROM CONGRESS WASTED BILLIONS It is now possible very closely to arrive at what the European war has cost the people of the United States in money, how is was spent, and what itr was spent for. At the start of hostilities the influence of the President defeated a proposal for a joint committee of Congress to supervise v war contracts and expenditures. The Democratic control of Congress surrendered its judgment and perogatives in the matter for the first time in history left the President an. absolute unchecked, free hand in expending its* unprecedented appropriations. Since the war ended Congress has passed under the control of the Republican Party. Committees on war expenditures are nearing the end of very thorough and widespread investigations. “And when their investigations are completed,” said Representative Edward E. Deriison of Illinois, in an exhaustive presentation to the House of the facts so far as learned, “and the results are fully disclosed to the American people there will be a political if not an actual revolution. There has been an orgy of waste, extravagance, of dishonesty, of fraud in the disbursement of these billions taken by taxes and borrowed from the people, that not only surpasses everything ever recorded in connection with any government but exceeds the wildest imagination?’ .aaK Boiled down, the statements of proven expenditures made by Representative Denison were as follows:

I—The Treasury Department reports thdt it paid out between April 6, 1917, and February 29, 1920, on warrants of the various executive departments, the sum of $36,918,000,000. When from this of .conducting the government amount is taken the normal cost (eighty-three and one-third million dollars a month) the war cost to date has been approximately $84,M made report, of Six; 000 expended by the War Department alone practically 39,000,000, 000 has been wasted , lost or spent pn projects that were useless now, and were totally ineffective in prosfhere was spent at Charleston, Norfolk, Boston and other

ADJOURNMENT SEEMS NEAR

REPUBLICAN ASSEMBLYMEN PROPHESY THAT SPECIAL SESSION WILL END SOON. _ Indianapolis, July members of the Indiana general assembly prophesied an early adjournment of the special session at the close of its fourteenth day today. One more day, they said, should be sufficient to complete the enactment of the emergency legislation, which remains unsettled and they believe a sine die adjournment was possible tomorrow night. Their prophesies werfe made with some reservations, however. There are still two intricate tax bills upon which final action 'must be taken and also the war memorial project. Hope was expressed that conferences early tomorrow morning would result in satisfactory agreement .being reached on all of the propositions. There was little business of importance transacted by either house at the morning and afternoon sessions today. The day was given oVer to conferences and informal discussions ’ concerning the final disposition of the emergency legislation still pending. Home Rule Bill. •Conferees from the house and senate met and discussed the home rule tax bill which would give to local authorities the power . over bond issues and tax levies which is now held by the state tax board. No final action was taken but the committee expects to complete a report tomorrow to present to the legislators. The tax bills passed by the house and senate to deal with the invalidated horizontal increases in 1919 assessments were. sent to a conference committee composed of Senator Williata E. English of Indianapolis, Thomas Grant of Crown Point, and Ray M. Southworth, of West Lafayette, and Representatives Hany B. Tuthill of Michigan City, Edgar T. Laughlin Of Odon and O. E. Dunn, of Spencer. 'This committee will meet at 9 a. m., tomorrow to prepare a report. Conference Meetings. A meeting also will be held early tomorrow by the conference committee to consider the amendments made by the senate to the war memorial bill. There is said to be strong sentiment in the senate to insist upon more liberal provisions for the war memorial than those contained in the house bill which Provided for appropriation of $2,00,000 together with ground in Indianapolis occupied by the state blind asylum and St. Clair park. The senate passed a bill donating the same ground but providing for an appropriation of $3,500,000. The senate is also disposed to allow Mari op _ county and the city of. Indianapoiis to participate in the building of the memorial to the extent of probably $5,000,000. The differences‘between the house and the senate sentiment will probably be smoothed out in the conference

committee. Fix Fuel Prices. ** Both the house and the senate tp>day concurred in a conference committee report which placed in the hands of the state board of accounts the authority to' fix fuel prices, which a house bill would have conferred upon a new commission and which the senate would have given to the public service commission. Senators Edward P. Ebner, of Seymour, and Joseph M. Cravens of Madison, democratic leaders, opposed concurrence in the committee’s report. . Democrats Oppose. Senator Ebner declared that the state' board of accounts had no machinery to handle the fusl question and that placing the power in the hands of this board “was making a farce out of the bill.” Senator Cravens said Governor James P. Goodrich controb the state board of accounts and calling attention to the governor’s interests in the mining industry declared this unfitted him to exercise the power which the bill would bestow upon the board /to investigate and regulate fuel prices. The senate voted to concur in the report 28 to 10, all of the democratic members voting in the negative. Both houses will meet at 10 a. m., tomorrow when they hope to receive reports from the various conference committees. Representative. Charles A. Phelps, of Fort Wayne, introduced a resolution calling for a survey by the conservation department of streams in the state with a view to developing inland waterways. The house adopted the resolution. < ■■ . — • J

ATTEMPTED JAIL BREAK THWARTED

AUTO THIEVES NEAR LIBERTY WHEN DISCOVERED BY SHERIFF WOODWORTH. ' • i. ’■ Except for the timely discovery by Sheriff Woodworth, Murle Kasper and Lester Mannis, a pair of “bad eggs” who were lodged in the county jail here about two weeks ago charged with having stolen an automobile at Morocco on July 5, would have secured their liberty some time late this evening. A saw and a bar of soap were slowly delivering the youthful criminals to freedom. •. Sheriff Woodworth made his discovery which prevented the youths making their escape while .the prisoners were eating their supper Tuesday evening. It -is the custom of the Sheriff to test the window bars daily and it was while performing this duty Tuesday evening! that he found that a bar in the | window in the southwest corner of the building had been removed. The bar had been placed back in position following its removal. When Mr. Woodworth touched it, it fell to the floor. The Sheriff then ordered the prisers back to their cage and confronted them with the evidence of their intended escape. The youths denied having removed the bar or that they were connected with the deed in any way. Despite all of Mr. efforts to gain an admission from them, the boys steadfastly refused to incriminatcr themselves, asserting that it must have been the work of some other prisondr. Since there is only one other prisoner in the jail at the present time, Estel Florence, no credence was given their story, for Florence has conducted himself in an admirable manner ever since his confinement and has been given many liberties by the Sheriff, none of which he has in any way abused. The “Boys will take their meals in »the cage during the remainder of their stay at the jail and will no longer be permitted the use of the jail proper. - Following the return of the prisoners to the cells/ Sheriff Woodworth had them remove their clothing which lie searched in the hope that he might discover the instruments which they had used in their attempt to escape. However, his search was unsuccessful. Ev « I V hook sod cr&nny oi -ww wm theif searched but nothing could be found which' could aid them in esOt is the belief of the Sheriff that the saw and soap were given to £ sr by A very close watch has been kept on the prisoners ever since confinement here, as it is of a -sr&xiff ox well organized deoiroM of securing their release

that their liberty may not be placed in jeopardy through testimony which might be brought out at a trial. During their confinement in the Newton county jail Mannis and Kasper almost made good their escape and the authorities are confident they are' receiving help from their companions in crime on the outside.

FIVE HUNDRED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK

of the Rensselaer Building, Loan & Savings Association will be offered to the citizens of Jasper county, at par value for the next thirty days. z On tiie 22nd day of November, 1915, at a meeting of the representative citizens of Jasper county, held in Rensselaer, the Rensselaer Building, Loan & Savings Association was organized with a capital stock of $100,000.00. Like all such organizations it was formed for the purpose of encouraging the building and improving of homes in Jasper County, giving every energetic citizen an opportunity to own his own home. A second purpose of the organization was to encourage thrift and savings. An effort was made to give one an opportunity to become an investing stockholder who was permitted to subscribe for stock and pay for it on a. monthly installment plan. This organization has shown a steady growth and has been managed at an exceedingly low overhead expense, Moderate dividends have been declared each year for the investor and over one hundred persons have been benefited by its loan advantages, approximately $150,000.00 having been loaned to the citizens of Jasper County for home building and improvement. At a recent meeting of the Directors of this Association the capital stock was increased to $200,000.00 and. it was then decided to give the citizens of this county an- opportunity to purchase stock in this live, wide awake association on the monthly payment plan. . The par value of each share of stock is SIOO.OO, such stock being paid for at the rate of $2.00 per month per share. No person will be permitted to subscribe for more than ten shares and no one family will be permitted to subscribe for more than twenty shares of this issue. This provides an ideal way for any person to lay aside a small amount of his earnings each month for future emergencies as Che amount paid in can be withdrawn at any time upon proper notice to the Association. This orgsnisaticm is governed by State law and is examined once a year by State examiners. For further information or particulars see any member of the Board of Directors of this Association or D. Delos Dean, its secretary, Odd Fellows Bldg., Rensselaer, Ind. x .
