INDIANA SEEN AS TOURIST STATE Conservation Head Calls Hoosierdom Miniature of U. S. Special to Tbe Times. MICHIGAN (.‘ITT, Ind., June 17.—Because Indiana lias a greater variety of scenery, and scenery Is a potential welath that becomes actual through handling of the tourist business. Richard Lleber, director of the department of conscrvs_,tlon speaking before the Michigan City Rotary club today, predicted a wonderful future for this commonwealth as a tourist state. This prophesy Is feasible, declared Mr. I.!eber, “because Indiana has a much greater variety of scenery than any other nearby state. “It has better roads now ar.d more are to be Improved In the near future, which will maake all parts of the state easily accessible. “It has an excellent- electric railway system; a tyfib ot beauty which as easily clCptlTates you as-it would be difficult for- you to define.” “In its physical make-up plus population. It is an interesting state. Let me point to a peculiar fact: Indiana In many respects is a miniature of the United States. “You will find Industry In the north, agriculture In the south. The coal and ell fields are similarly situated. “There are lakes in the north, plains In the middle west ajid a remnant of forests In the south. “It has a north and south population with a division of north and south speec h. “Cosmopolitan as The population is, with the New England type predominating, the state has been one of great mental alertness. “Still, we are not thoroughly acquainted with-each other. / “It' whqld pay ns to get better acquainted and for our own benefit and that of ethers, make a survey of the state and see what we have to offer In the way of scenery, historical monuments and landmarks and other interesting features. “Our slogan should be “See Indiana "first and know your own state.” . Mr. Lieber pointed out that Indiana Contains approximately twenty-three mll4lon acres of land and water. State reservations so far consist of the •tat® forests of 2,200 acres in Clarke JJjounty, 28S acres in Turkey Run state s?srH and 363 acres In McCormick's Creek Jfanyon state park. " As leased property, Indiana has the Igame experiment station of about 500 (seres near Waveiand. II “It is a pittance and the state should (tcmtrol not less than half a million acres %I forest lands, for it has demonstrated *>eyond a doubt that private ownership |f tlmberlands is impossible on account Vyf the long time a timber crop takes to Smatare," he declared. ’• “Besides this forest reserve,” he said, #the state ought to recreational JurposGfl, absolute control and preferably direct ownership of tl* sand dunes and a- number of beautiful'lakes.”

PART OF CAPITOL AVE.‘BOULEVARD’ From 16th to Fall Creek, Is Attorney's Ruling. Capitol avenue, from Sixteenth street to Fall creek, was held to have the status of a boulevard by J. Clyde Hoffman, attorney for the board of park commissioners, today. He said there is no doubt that Capitol avenue. From Fall creek to Maple road, is a boulevard as well as the section of the avenue from Sixteenth street to Fall creek, and that the entire length of the avenue comes under the jurisdiction of the board of park commissioners. No definite action was taken by the board on the matter, but a delegation of property owners from Capitol avenue, which was present, was told that the board would discuss tbe matter at the nest board meeting. In the meantime the board will Investigate plans for the establishment of a boulevard system on the avenue and try to obtain an estimate on the cost of the vors. PROPERTY OWNERS BRING CP QUESTION. Property owners on Capitol avenue brought up the question of the establishment of boulevard improvements on the avenue just before the outbreak of the war, but the matter received no definite action of the board which said that such improvement did not come under Its jurisdiction as the avenue was not a boulevard. The question was again brought up about a month ago by a number of property owners who composed the Capitol Avenue Protective association and they were again confronted with the theory that the work did not come under the Jurisdictiondf the board. At the last meeting of the board it wss decided that an attorney should be allowed to settle the matter. The improvement of the street will mean the moving hack of the sidewalks beyond the property line and the placing of boulevard lighting stands within six Inches of the curb. The delegation of property owners said they were perfectly willing to pay for the improvement and that It would mean as much to the good of the city as it would to the property owners themselves. GETTING CONTROL OP PROPERTIES. Authority was given James IT. Lowry, superintendent of the department of the public parks, by the board to investigate the possibility of getting control of properties at Thirty-fourth and Rural streets. Golden Hill, at College avenue and Thirtieth street, and the Claypool property, at Martlndale avenue and Twenty-fifth street. All these properties. If the board obtains control, will at least temporarily be made Into park places. The property at Thirty-fourth and Rural streets occupies 120 acres, the Claypool property forty acres and the Golden Hill property tbtrty acres. The Golden Hill property is owned by the school board and was bought for a north side school site but so far has not been used for that purpose. It faces Fall creek and Is an Ideal place for a park, Mr. Lowry said. J. Walter Jarvis, director of recreation for the school, city and park playgrounds, was given authority to rent the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. swimming pools for the use of the children for certain days during the summer months. He was also given the authority to buy material and the necessary equipment and arrange for the musie for the playground pageant to be given In August by the children of the city.
How Shall I Sell My Produd:? CONSIDER this question seriously, j The day of over-demand ana easy markets is passing rapidly. Hereafter goods must be sold —and the mami* fadturerwith the soundest, most force* ful selling methods will outdistance his competitors. Now is the time to get ALL the fatfts —to investigate and compare ever y method and means of selling. Before you hire a single salesman, or attempt any sort of sales stimulation, call in a good advertising agency and present your case to them. Then check their recommendation against other plans. You will not obligate yourself by asking a principal of this agency to call and talk with you. Several manufacturers who have done so - have profited both in money saved and in- . creased markets. We are not merely writers of advertisements but creators pf complete selling campaigns. Write—or wire—and get ALL the fads. SIDENER-VAN RIPER ADVERTISING CO.

Mflroney, a senior of Dartmouth, from Medford, Mas*. On telegraphic advice from his father, Albert A ' Meads, counsel for the National Cash Company of Chicago, the accused youth waived examination and pleaded not guilty. The elder Meads was reported en route here. Qt \KREL OVER DEBT, NOT WHISKY, CAUSE. A quarrel over a small debt and not whisky running into Dartmouth college, :is alleged, wm responsible fur the killing of Maroney, and the arrest of Meads, authorities investigating the case now de-dare. Reports that young Meads sold liquor and that he quarreled with Mnroftey over a bottle of whisky were denied by students. They said Meads had liquor, but consumed nil he se-ured. Dartmouth authorities were*much concerned over the statement that liquor was at the bottom of the slaying of Maroney. This theory, it was explained, probably arose from a statement by Meads after his arrest. He said: “Maroney had stolen a .bottle of whisky from me and after thinking it over awhile I decided to go after him.'* He added that he shot In self-defense. Students say Meads had been drinking prior to the shooting. Maroney, it was learned, had waged a fight against a craving for liquor. Through the whole year the young man had practiced total abstinence ash had agreed to do. Maroney had passed his final ex-

TAX ERROR MADE, SAYS MINE FIRM Arguments Testing Power of Commissions Heard. Oral arguments In a snU testing the powers of the Indiana state board of tax commissioners in fixing tax assessments of domestic corporations were presented today before Judge Vincent Clifford in superior court. The state of Indiana in relation to the Vigo Mining Company asked the court to mandate the state board of tax commissioners to certify corporate excess taxes, amounting to $266,980 to tbe auditors of Greene, Sullivaa and Vigo counties, in ratio of tangible property in each county to the total tangible property in all c-f the counties 1 n which the company mines are situated. The mining company holds that tbe tax commizsloners erred In construction of the law when that board certified to the auditor of Vigo county the entire taxable property of the company. U. 8. Lesh, assistant attorney general, today argued that such action on tbe part of the state board would damage the company in increased taxes 91,920.86. The mining company asks distribution as follows: Vigo county, 13.28 per cent; Green# county. 8.28 per cent, and Sullivan county 78.14 per cent. Many other corporations of the state are Interested In tbe forthcoming decision by Judge Clifford, who Indicated | he would rule early next week. The mining company has refused to pay the taxes demanded by tbe treasurer \ of Vigo county. The total assessment fixed by the state board of the mining company's property is $475,000, of which 9286.089 Is capital s-tock. CHURCH MfNIC JUNE *.

ITALY DISPLEASED WITH WAR SPOILS U. S. Expects Firmer Stand From New Premier. WASHINGTON, June 17.—Italy is dissatisfied with her share of the spoils of the war and Premier Giollitti and his government will taite a firmer stand In demanding from their allies what is regarded as Italy’s just rewards, it was believed by diplomats here today. The formation of anew Italian cabinet to succeed the fallen government of Premier Nitti also will mark a firmer and more conservative international policy in Italy, it was said. The two most important questions upon wnich the change in Italian policy probably will reflect are the Adriatic imbroglio and Italy's proportion of the German indemnity. Premier Giollitti, in response to public opinion in Italy, may revert to Italy’s original stand and insist upon execution of the famous pact of London. In general Italian troops are now oceupyinig the territory which Italy was given under the pact of London. The direct negotiations which the Nitti government was carrying on with tbe Jugo-Slavs fdr a settlement of the Adriatic controversy have been suspended. -THIEF HAS EAR FOR JAZZ.
