Women Using Glue to Fasten Bodices PARIS, May 25.—Ghfe is used to hold in place the filmy chiffon bodices that are all the rage here just now. Even jeweled shoulder straps are considered too heavy to fasten the clouds of vulle which are an indispensable part of ihe smartest of evening gowns today. V J SCARCITY OF COAL MENACES PLANTS Most City Factories Running on Day-to-Day Supply. Inquiry at a pumber of Industrial plants in tbe city, engaged in various lines of business and manufacture, but not including public utilities, indicated today that factories are largely depending upon their coal supplf from day to day. With the exception of a few of the largest users they have been unable to accumulate a reserve stock. Among tbe larger consumers who have accumulated a reserve stock, sufficient for from a wee* to a month, the mnjorit.v ar forced to make some inroads into their reserves to keep up with their daily requirements. Coal carrying railroads are continuing their efforts to give all possible In the relief of public utilities and state institutions, following a conference between members of the public service commission, representatives of coal-car-rying railroads and officials of the coal trades association of the state yesterday afternoon. It was decided at the meeting that unless priority orders giving way to the movement of coal in preference to all other traffic are nation wide they would be of no avail. It was also decided that the proposal that the state should purchase 2U6 cars to be useiSfor the movement of coal to state Institutions would not be praclcai unless the state owned a mine CALL ANOTHER MEETING FOR JUNE 2. Another meeting has been called for 3 oclo.-k on June 2. Small hope was expressed by the coal men and the railroad men at the conference that any Immediate relief from (be shortage of coal cars In the state .could be given, and the statement was made that the order of tl.e interst.i?" commerce commission to send all coal car* east Immediately from the territory west of the Mississippi river would have but little effect on the situation here. Aeeording to statements o? member* of the public service eommiss'on and of Carl J. Fletchci of Indianapolis, sec re. (ary of the Knox County Coal Trades association, the chief trouble In obtaining coal ears results from the practice In vogue, chiefly in the Detroit territory, of loading coal cars with automobiles and other material. .T. W. Coneys, superintendent of th* Pennsylvania railroad, of Indianapolis, and B. C. Byers, superintendent of the Big Four railroad, also of this city, stated thHt the automobile manufacturer* of Indianapolis were not using coal cars for loading their products, and that in every possible instance the practice is being discouraged. CAR SUPPLY CUT 50 PER CENT. Interesting figure* were presented to the conference by Mr Coneys on tbe number of r.ml ears furnished the mines hv the railroads the first four months of this year, as compared with the similar period of 1919 According to Mr. Byers cars furnished last year were 100 per cent of tbe ear* requested, while for the first four months of 1920 the number of cars furnished averaged only about 50 per cent of the number requested.

Suppose Sen. Penrose Is Too 111 to Attend Convention, What Then? WASHINGTON, May 25. —Two weeks from today the G O P convention opens at Chicago, yet so befogged is the situation that political leaders here contend that, as they view it, more depends upon the state of bodily health of Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania than upon almost any other factor. i

If the leader of tae republican o!d< guard Is too til to attend the big caucus, as some claim he is, the chances are, according to the growing belief here, the nominee will be entirely different from the one chosen If he is not too ill to make the trip It is the claim of the old line Republicans that, they will be In control at the Chicago convention nnd their leader. Sen ator Penrof>-\ has made it plain that he favors tbe candidacy of neither Herbert Hoover, Senator-'Johnson nor of Gen. Wood. But supposing the senator from Pennsylvania Is prevented by his physicians from making the Journey to the Windy City .and the old guard faction of the G. O. P. is left without its customary leader, what then? Wise ones here assert in answer to this query that the chances of a stampede to a candidate other than the one Penrose would favor is quite on the card, and they give their reasons. At least three candidates for the nomination, they point out, are already plan ning for a quick roup at Chicago, looking toward somethin* in the nature of a stampede. The three most frequently mentioned

Fesler Spent $58,525.67 in Effort to Win Nomination for Governor A total of $58,525.67 was spent in an unsuccessful effort to nominate James W. Fesler of Indianapolis, republican candidate for governor, in the primaries, according to sworn statements on file today at the county clerk’s office.

James W. Lilly, treasurer of the Fes-ler-for-Governor club, in a sworn state- * • ment, sets out that he received $38,142.48 in contributions to aid in nominating Feeler and that he spent $38,055.62. Schuyler A. Haas, political agent for Feeler, in a sworn statement, claims that he received a total of $20,470.05 from Fesler and of this amount every cent was expended in Fesler's interest. living W. Lemaux, treasurer for the Leonard Wood campaign in Indiana, reports to the county clerk that a total of $5,261.65 was spent in Interest of Wood. The only contributions Jested were $5,250 from AJbert Sprague, treasurer of the Wood national committee in Chicago, and SIOO from .1. H. Frye, Union League club of New York City. Fred B. Robinson, political agent for McCray, made a sworn report showing that he spent $3,447.03 out of $3,500 received from Warren T. McCray to be usea in Indiana in interest of the McCray campaign for governor, which was successful. Leonard M. Quill, agent for Ralph A. Lemclte, republican county treasurer, for

COAL SHORTAGE CAUSES UTILITY CONCERNS’ ILLS Gets All Blame for Rate Increase Petitions Before Service Board. HIT FROM EVERY SIDE The shortage and high price of coal is largely responsible for the necessity of increased rates, according to testimony in the hearing before the public service commission today of the petition of the Indianapolis Light & Heat Company %nd Merchants Heat &. Light Company for a readjustment of rates. Appearing for the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company were C. N. Thompson and E. F. Scott, with Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel, appearing for the city and W. \Y. Hamomnd, representing the Merchants association. James W. Fesler and Howard W. Young appeared as counsel for the Merchants Heat, and Light Company. The petitions of both companies were heard at one time, bv arrangement of the commission nnd the counsel. James \V. Fesler in his opening state ment to the commission stated that, due to the Increased costs of labor, fuel and other supplies entering into the manufacture and furnishing of light, heat and power, the companies were unable to meet the cost of service at the rates nowin effect, granted in 1917 and 1918, with a surcharge of 5 mills, which was later changed to 7 mills. KNAFF FIRST TO TAKE THE STAND. "The Merchants Heat and Light Company is asking for only such increase in rates nnd surcharge as the commission, after hearing the evidence and investigating. deems wise." said Mr. Fesler. "The company asks for an order granting authority to grant the surcharge, making it retroactive to May 1, 1920. which, in addition to the present charge, would afford the petitioner opportunity to rover the cost of production." Henry Knaff. treasurer and auditor of the light company, who was the first to be placed on the stand, testified that cost of labor and materlale entering into the manufacture of electric power had increased 190 per cent over the cost In 1917. Fuel, he estimated, has increased 136 per cent in the same period. Considerable time was spe.nt. by t.be attorneys and tbe commission in threshing out the coal problem. CONSIDER ALL SIDES OF COAL SITUATION. The coal situation, from every angle, from shortage of cars, scarcity of labor, nnd strikes, to cost of placing ttbe fuel in the bunkers of tbe light company, was fully discussed, and when counsel for the petitioners announced they had summoned several coal men to testify at the hearing it was-’’evident the company intended laying on the coal situation the brunt of the high cost of production. Asked as to th* prices paid for coal, by the Ugbt company. Mr. Knapp replied from figures he had prepared, that from March, 1916, to March. 1917. coal had been purchased at. a price of $1.40 per ton in the company's bunkers; In the same period from 1917 to 1917, the price was $1.73 per ton; from 1918 to 1919, tbe cost was $2 47 per ton. and In the same period from 1919 to the present time the company had been forced to pay--12 85 per ton. "The company lost $95,000 in November and December, 1919, and January and February of this year, because of the strife of the coal miners called Nov 1, last, and on account of the recent switchmen's strike,” Mr. Knaff declared At , this point M. L. Gould, president (Continued on rage Four.)

In this connection srre Gen Wood, Senator Johnson and Herbert Hoover. Officials considered that Gen. Wood might possibly have the advantage because of his nationally organized machine functioning under the leadership of Frank H. Hitchcock, former postinas, ter general under President Taft. But two republican organizations are In operation at the present time, the one headed by Senator Penrose, the other by Mr. Hitchcock. In the primaries Senator Johnson admitted he suffered for lack of some sueh organization to help him at the right moment, while his right hand man, Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, likewise confessed* the absence of a machine was a genuine handicap on election days because a machine Is needed to bring out the vote. At Chicago, it is agued, this need will be Intensified many fold. Already the charge 1s being made that the "regulars” intend to flatten out Johnson and Hoover and Wood and name Senator Philander Knox, Oov. Lowden or some other republican more to their liking, nnd that the other candidates will not be able to prevent it for lack of sufficient organization.

BRYAN DIFFERS WITH PRESIDENT OVER ARMENIA ‘Any Mandatory Is Impossible,’ Declares Commoner on His Arrival in Washington. WASHINGTON. May 25.—" Any mandatory Is impossible." William Jennings Bryan, with this as his preface and within an hour after his arrival here today, declared himself as emphatically opposed to an American mandate over any country In general, Armenia in particular. In a statement caustic in spots and perhaps a trifle Ironic In others, the Commoner took direct issue with President Wilson, thus further widening tbe chasm which has steadily been growing between tbe two great leaders of the democratic party for years. BALKS AT EUROPEAN POLITICS. "Tb mandate proposed for Armenia. If accepted, would involve ns in an enormous expenditure at a time when the war tax is still so grievous a burden that the congress has difficulty in finding money necessary to do justice to the men who served in the world war," said Bryan. "It would Involve us in the politics of Europe and compel us to deal in implacable race hatred. "It would involve us in the fierce commercial rivalry of the big nations. FAVORS SENDING ADVISER TO ARMENIA. "But, worst of all, it would compel ug to surrender a vital principle of democracy. namely, that all people are capable of self-government. ’ All the colonial exploitation of helpless peoples is defended on tbe theory of their incapacity of self-government. "We can not Indorse this theory." Declaring, that Christianity does not require hs 'to "adopt monarchial form to aid suffering people," Bryan advocated sending to Armenia a United States minister who can advise the new nation. cted President akes Office June 1 feelings that were manifested against him during bis last days in office. Rodolfo Herrero, the rebel leader who is accused of assassinating Carranza, has been ordered to this city by Gen. Alvaro Obregon to explain his telegram saying that the late president had committed suicide rather than submit to capture Gen. Obregon.

i Dr. Wright’s recommendations will undoubtedly cause a general rearrangement of the systems existing in the Marion county jail and other county institutions, if the county commissioners will carry them out. Dr. Wright’s major recommendations are: "That the suspected and adjudged Insane under no circumstances should ba sent to or held in the county Jail; that they be sent to a psychopathic service for diagnosis and treatment, and If and 'vhen necessary thereafter committed to a state hospital for the insane. I RGES BUDGET SYSTEM UOR JAIL. "That the present county Jail building be continued as a jail after certain alterations and repairs, hereafter listed are made; that the jail be operated on a budget rather than on the present fee system. "T hat the workhouse he held as county property and leased on a short term basis. “That the county cease to operate an institution for the care and custody of the Insane: that the patients now in Julietta be transferred to a state hospital for the insane. 'That tbe building.? on the poor farm are. with minor repairs, suitable for the lemporary use and are nearly adequate in bed capacity for present needs. "Tha? the Marion county juvenile court detention home has outgrown its present building and enlarged quarters are needed with space for services not now provided. POINTS OUT NEEDS AT SUNNYSIDE. "That the Sunnvside tuberculosis hospital be provided with more beds for Incipient cases; that a policy be adopted to the foliowing end: A. Provision be made for the care of case-, which can not be cared for at home, B. The hospital be considered a training school for tubercular cases wherein they shall be taught how to conduct and care for themselves in their homes. C. That field nurses be employed to visit cases having returned to their homes. D. That periodic clinics be held In various sections of the county to discover and instruct those predisposed or having been exposed to tuberculosis. "That, if the capacity of White's Institute. Y\ abash. Ind.. is not adequate, there be built a parental school located in the county, to which may be sent those children who will not attend public school and those who are delinquent, yet not sufficiently so to warrant sending them to the Indiana Boys’ or Glrla’ school under a long-term sentence. "That there be created a board as agent of the board of county commissioners to administer all of the institutional and social work now under the jurisdiction of the commissioners and the township trustees." In a lengthy survey on the county Jail Dr. Wright said it should be operated upon a budgetary basis like that used In all other institutions. "The sheriff should make his estimate lof the cost of feeding prisoners and [ operating the jail, and the board of commissioners should make an appropriation based on such an estimate," the report continued. LESS CHANCE FOR SCANDAL. HE SAYS. “With the budgetary system adopted, there will be much less basis for suspicion, accusation or possible scandal, i “Moreover, it undoubtedly would be more satisfactory to the sheriff and to the public to abolish the entire fee system as applied to the sheriff’s office, and .place the sheriff on a salary compensation, with stipulated salaries for all of his employes." Dr. Wright recommended that tbe abandoned power house, next to the jail property, be provided for the wo&en inmates of the Jail, and that the present cell space in the jail be given up to the men. It was suggested that, one-half of cell block in the south wing, lower floor, be used for sick prisoners and that a bath service be provided in the basement. Dr. Wright recomended that all todlets and lavatories be replaced; that locking devices for cell doors be repaired or replaced; that anew kitchen be equipped in the basement of the Jail; that the brick wail separating the central portion and the south wing, be torn down and replaced with bars and wire screen and that a high wall be built around the rear yard to form an enclosure wherein prisoners might be exercised. . WORKHOUSE HELD TO BE IMPRACTICAL. In considering the jail. Dr. Wright gave a careful report on conditions at the abandoned workhouse which Judge James A. Collins of the criminal conrt recently suggested be transformed into a county Jail. He gives a number of reasons why the plan to discard the present jail and transfer the prisoners to the workhouse, is unwise. Dr. Wright held that the cells at the workhouse are small and unventilated and that conditions exist there that would render it easy for prisoners to escape and would render inadequate protection In case of a public demonstration such as In the Ray case, the report, stated. He field that the present jail Is adequate In size and type of exterior and interior construction and is located In the heart of the city and can be easily guarded, and also stated that It would cost more to operate the workhouse as a jail than the present cost of operating the present Jail. ATTACKS SYSTEM OF CARING FOR INSANE. In considering Julietta. Dr. Wright held that the insane are best taken care of in states where they are confined to state hospitals for the Insane instead of county institutions. Dr. Wright held that it Is reported that some of the Insane here are held in almshouses. "Rarely are the insane well cared for in almshouses, and any system which permits them to remain In or enter an almshouse Is defective," Dr. Wright held. “Julietta Is not so well operated as tlts State Hospital for the Insane in Indian* (Continued on Page Tiro.)
