URGES COUNTY TAKE STEPS TO GUARD RECORDS Valuable Documents Exposed to Dangers of Fire, Council Told. WEIGHTY QUESTIONS UP Consideration of the erection of anew Marlon county courthouse by building the first floor and basement in order to protect valuable records; an appropriation of $334,000 for new buildings at Sunnyside and the establishment of a gardeners’ and producers’ market on ground Just north of the courthouse were the chief Items of business before the county council today. Making a plea for the adequate protection against fire of records that could wot be duplicated at a cost of $1,300,000 in the Barrett law department at the courthouse, Joseph Hayes, county com mlssioner. asked the council to make the necessary appropriation to provide fireproof cabinets. Commissioner tlayes informed the councilmen that valuable records are left exposed to Are in the Barrett law department because of the failure to provide adequate protection. NEW COURTHOUSE QUESTION OF TIME.” Russell T. Byers, a member of the council, stated there was no question but that the records must be protected, but the issue was as to the best method to follow: “It is a question of a few years when the county council must consider the question of anew courthouse.” Mr. Byers said. ”1 take it for granted that the new courthouse will be along the lines of a modern business brfilding. I feel tbat It would be proper for us to determine soon if that building should be located on ground JtisU north of the present courthouse." Mr. Byers suggested that the basement and the first floor of the proposed new -■•ourthouse be buiit soon on ground north of the rresent building. “If that would be done,” be said, “we could move the Barrett law department, ihe treasurer's and auditor's office into fire-proof quarters. There Is and will be a growing demand for space in the present courthouse. The courts could remain in the present building.” •No official action was taken, but the councilmen agreed that the question of a new courthouse would l*e a vital issue within a few years. MANY PLEAD FOK PRODUCERS’ MARKET. At the morning session about sixty rardeuers and producers appeared before the council in favor of the council passing an appropriation of $34,000 for the establishment of a gardeners' and producers’ market on ground just north of the courthouse. No action was taken by the council, but the gardeners were informed that the council would carefully consider the proposition. Chris Peeper, a gardener with large hothouses, informed the councilmen that the present curb market was only a peddler's and a commission man’s market as the gardeners and producers have been crowded out. “The producer is forced to sell his produce to the commission houses and the consumer pays the extra 10 cents on the dollar,” said Peeper, in. making a piea for the new producers' market where the gardener would sell direct to the consumer. Eugene Lantz, who has had market space for years, also pleaded for the appropriation. The gardeners asked that a fair and reasonable price be put on the market spaces if the proposed market met the approval of the councilmen. The gardeners said they were willing to pay from sls to $25 a year for space in the new market if it was exclusive for the gardener and producer. The gardeners made it clear that they were dissatisfied with present conditions on the curb market. BLOCK EFFORT TO SELL WORKHOUSE. Councilman Byers and Commissioner Joseph Hayes blocked an effort to sell the county workhouse grounds. The matter was referred to a committee to report at a future date on advisability of using the now discarded workhouse as a county jail. Commissioner Joseph Hayes said he favored using the workhouse for a Jail as the present Jail facilities are “a hundred years behind the times.” Before the sessions of the council end tomorrow, an appropriation of $30,000 for repairs for the jail will be considered. The commissioners also will pass upon an appropriation of $300,000 for new buildings for Sunnyside Tuberculosis sanitarium. Every effort has been made to swing the commissioners to favor this appropriation. Many Important appropriations for construction of bridges, road Improvements, additional office and court expenses as well as salaries for assessing Center and other townships, are to be considered.

CHARGES NAVY HELD UP PLANS Nine Months Getting Action on Suggestion, Sims Says. ' WASHINGTON, March 17.—The navy department delayed action for months on important recommendations for Improvements in the naval forces In the war zone. Admiral Sims charged today before a senate committee investigating the navy’a conduct of the war. He charged that his lequest for a planning section of his staff was not executed until nine months after he had forwarded the suggestion to the authorities In Washington. “The efficiency of our co-operation with the allies was seriously impeded during the critical first months of the war by this hesitancy and failure by the department to act o nthe Information and recommendations made to it.” Sims asserted “Throughout the first months of the War.” Sims said, “the department showsd A tendency to demand the fullest and most complete explanations of every request made to them and of every detail of the operations of our forces before' they would approve such requests or sanction such operations.” . "It was easier," Sims said, "to cooperate with the allies than It was to get action from our own department.” Judge Hay’s Mother Dies in Union Mills Judge Linn Hay of superior court No. 2. was called to Union Mills, Ind., today by the death of his mother.

Little Hazel Justice is deaf, yet can “hear” music. . Talk loudly to her and she will not respond. Play the “Star-Spangled Banner” and she will begin keeping time with her little feet. This little girl attends kindergarten No. 5. She is 11 years old and has not spoken or heard the spoken word since measles and whooping cough robbed her of these powers when she was an infant. A visitor In the kindergarten was amazed when he saw her leap to her feet as the piano sounded patriotic strains. He saw her eyes glow with understanding and emotion. He was told that this bright-eyed child—she has been called “Pollyanna” because of her happy smile —is one of the brightest pupils in her class. She understands the teacher s gestures and obeys them with the game promptness of other boys and girls who can hear the words which accompany the gestures. She smiles and dances and keeps perfect time with the rhythm of music. Such an occurrence is not phenomenal to teachers in institutions for the deaf. Deaf persons “feel” the beat of music, experienced teachers of the deaf say. They may not know the tune, but the vibrations from a musical instrument beat against their bodies and register in their chests and nerves. Their eardrums dj not work at all. It is said to be of the paradoxes of deafness. Hazel Is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Justice, 003 Lockerbie street.

"It is. therefore, with deep regret that it has learned of the proposed use of the beau ti/ul corntr at the most prominent boulevard intersection In the city for factory and service station purposes.

LONDON, March 17. Great Britain s policy toward Russia Is dominated by na “insane fear of bolshevism," la the opinion of Gen. Gough, a British war office official, expressed In a recent address to the Oxford University Labor i Gen. Gough asserted that the whites in south Russia are hopelessly Inefficient, while the reds are extremely efficient, have a good grip on affairs and show considerable Intelligence in their handling of the situation. Gen Gough said he had been In south Russia ami he al*o was head of the British and allied mission to the Baltic states. As for th border ststes, Gen. Gough declared they did not like Russia at all. But they had a much stronger suspicion of the whites than of-the others, and this was based on experience. Brit lsh policy was to support the border states in their Independence and also the whites, who were opposed to them. British agents and generals bad to try and carry out this conflicting and confusing policy. They had to ride two ~ horses at once In different directions. GIVES INCIDENT ON THIRST FOR BLOOD. Much killing,had taken place In Russia, said Gen Gough, Russians seeming to kill each other with facility and lightheartedness. The old regime had lnur and them to this. A centrist general during the war captured 9,000 Turks and placed them on a small lusland In the Caspian sea. There was no water on the island. A miserably Insufficient supply was given them by two steamers which called once a week. Thousands died as a result. Rut wherever the soviet government held power It maintained law, order and peace. Aristocratic Russian women were one of the chief instruments of white propaganda, the generul asserted. They were not scrupulous, wonld believe anything and repent anything. Many of these women were dissolute and pleas-ure-seeking. did not read, had no Idea of liberty or progress, and talked extraordinary bosh. Gen. Gough, continuing, said ho hnd heard a young Russian of about 28 telling society women and others that Britain must fight to put the whites back. He (the general) had fought for four years, aud he had had enough. He did not see why England's men snotild go on fighting whllo this young man and others like him stopped In England and talked about the need for British help and Intervention The fact was that the Russian people undoubtedlj preferred the reds to the whites. 1 was impossible for a small section to dominate the whole of Russia against Its will. BKEB BOLSHEVIK I ON LAST LEGS. British officials and officers had been sent to Russia with no capacity whatever for judging political events, Ger. Gough charged. They had not even the ability to judge plain facts. One general declared in London, after returning, that the boishevlkl were nearly done for; that they were at their last gasp, and at the time he spoke Dcnekin was scurrying on board ship for safety. Churchill was full of Optimism over hit plans, as he always was. As n resul. England had earned the hatred and contempt of both sides In Russia now.

"There was more than SIOO,OOO worth of machinery in the buildings, and there will be only a small salvage on the machinery. We hed on hand more than $200,060 worth of steel. Much of this is badly damaged. There will he some salvnge on the steel, but none on the manufactured product. I am sure that the early estimate of $300,000 loss is conservative. I think wc are protected fully by Insurance." The rapidity with which the flames spread Is shown when it Is ststed that Niles Chapman, president of the company, was about two blocks distant from the plant en route to the company’s office when he observed smoke coming from the east end of the big bulldiug. By the time he had driven his automobile the two blocks, he said. It seemed as if the entire building was a furnace. Oapt. William Hubber. fire company No. 26, Raymond and Webb streets, was slightly Injured when the force of the water Jerked * nozzle of a hose around and struck him In the face. A cut above his eye was dressed end he returned to assist in fighting the flames. MEN RUN BACK TO GFT CLOTHES. Largo doors at the ends and sides of the building gave the employes plenty of chance to escape. However, aftoi the flrst excitement and mad rush for Ihe exits some of the men remembered they had left their good clothing in the building and that they were wenrIng their work clothes Some of them tan back Into the building in nn rs fort to get the clothes and were nearly choked by smoke. Seven men hnd a narrow ><*cape from being suffocated Th*-v were Dan Dorvlll, shipping clerk; Ralph Rldent, John Donlvan, Albert Harding, Regan Lewis. Bill Jebnke and Kinney Hass. They made an attempt to carry out a desk nn 1 filing cases In the shipping olerk'n office. The office, loratcd at the west end of the building and about a hundred feet from the closest exit, soon became a mass of flames. The men dragged the desk out but failed to get the filing cabinets. A dull red glow of flames eating the henry rafters above them gave but little light and the men had difficulty In finding their way to an exit. Near the shipping clerk's office workmen pointed to a pile of black smolder lng ruins. Under that pile wns what la left of a newly Installed pipe machine which cont the company $20,000. The ma chine was used for making downspouts and conducting pipe. The first alarm, received at 8:30 o’clock, was a telephone message and was followed by several successive alarms. Assistant Fire Chief s. C. Hoyle responded to""1he first alarm and immediately summoned two additional fire squads. Chief John I.otiekß took perserial charge of the fire fighting.
