REGISTER; TWO OPPORTUNITIES * f Tomorrow and Oct. 4 Are Days Set, Hours 8 a. m. to 9 p. m BETTER TAKE FIRST ONE - ' Voters , Attention It Is absolutely necessary that you register in order to rote nest November. You must register either tomorrow or Oct. 4. These are the only two opportunities you will have. Registration places will be open in each precinct from 8 a. m. to p. m. tomorrow. Register tomorrow, something may prevent you doing so next month. Democratic and republican state and county organizations today were putting on the finishing touches to arrangements to obtain as near a 100 per cent registration tomorrow as Is possible. Saturday is the first of the two registration days for the 1920 election, the second and last day being Oct. 4. It Is absolutely necessary that every person register tomorrow or Oct. 4 In order to cast a vote in the Nevember election.

Rescue Crew of 30 Men Imprisoned 48 Hours in Flooded Underseas Boat

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Four officers and twenty-six men, crew of the United States submarine S-5, were safe today after submersioD in their disabled vessel almost forty-elsgh hours off the Delaware capes. A radio message received at the Brooklyn navy yard said the merchant ship Alantheus was towing the disabled undersea boat to the Delaware breakwater. The plight of the S-5 was discovered I when the George W. Goethals, an American vessel, saw a telephone buoy floated from the submarine. ' The buoy was ringing and a small boat was lowered from the Goethals. The telephone operator In the submarine said the vessel had been disabled then for thirty-five hours. Sbe was almost vertical, making it impossible to release any of the crew through the torpedo tubes, which are in the bow. A later message from the telephone operator said the submarine's air was being exhausted. MERCHANT SHIP DISCOVERS PEIGHT. Details of the accident which came within a hair’s breadth of becoming a naval catastrophe, coming In by wire of the rescue ship, unfolded a tale of heroism at sea. Thirty-five hours after the S-5 en route from Boston to Baltimore on a recruiting expedition, had slipped to the bottom off Cape Henlopen, the steamship General Goetbals broadcasted a radio S. O. S. The message said the submarine was caught beneath the surface and that help was urgently needed to raise her, or cut a hole In the hull through which the crew might be removed to safety. David L. Moore, an amateur operator at Farmington, Conn., sitting beside his Instrument, picked the cry for help out of the air. He communicated at once with Boston navy yard and with navy officials : at New Haven. I Destroyers were dispatched from Bo- ! ton and from the southern drill grounds, j where the message was relayed to the ! battleships as they cruised through the night. The battleship Ohio turned northward at once. Other destroyers darted out from navy [ yards along the coast and headed toward I the spot in the general vicinity of 35.3 G north. long.. 4 west, about fifty miles j east of Delaware capes, where the submarine with its human cargo was re- ' ported resting on the hotlom. The word also was conveyed to the navy department at Washington, which evidently did no* know anything about it, until thirty hours after the S-3 hal gone down. While navy rescue ships plunged through the darkness to the aid of the submarine the General Goethals stood by ; to lend what aid it could. The submarine was found to be at a sharp angle down by the bow so the stern was much nearer the surface. It was evident that the Goethals would not be able to get the submersible to the surface before the air within It wa* exhatist^fl. Men from re* cue vessels attached the task of 1 >*ing a bole through the submarine And introducing a hose through whidb fresh air could be pumped while the work of raising the S-5 went , ahead. This endeavor was perilous, but the men went at it with a will and soon a stream of clean.' fnesh air brought new hope to the sailors Inside and staved off ! the smothering death which had come so close. After the S-5 was brought to the surface her sailors and officers, one hy One, i climbed out and were taken aboard the Alantbus. As each one appeared, haggard and worn, blinking at the early morning sun j light after the many hours of darkness, i the rescuers cheered. A cable was passed to the wallowing submarine, one end of it sticking out of i the sea, the other pointing toward the j bottom and the slow trip toward land was begun. I INDIANA SAILOR GUNNER ON 9-3. The S-5 was in charge of Lieut Commander Charles M. Cook Jr,, of Arkansas. Other officers detailed to the S-5 on Aug. 1 were Lieut. J. T. Gresham, Ensign R. J. Bailey Longatff of Nebraska, and Gunner Robert Holt of Indiana. The accident to the S-5 occurred when she made a “crash dive.” which caused her to be partially flooded, a later dispatch stated. This was Commander Cook's second thrilling experience with a submarine. ! He was commander of the submarine ; E-2 in 1916 when a battery exploded on that ship In Brooklyn navy yard, causing several deaths. A court of inquiry exonerated Commander Cook, placing the blame for the accident upon faulty construction. NEW NAVAL HERO ON LIST WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Another name lias been added to the list of naval heroes, and it Is that of Lieutenant Commander Charles M. Cook, Jr., In command of the United States submarine S-5 according to dispatches received by the navy department regarding the fate of the submarine which was submerged for nearly forty-eight hours. Although in a greatly weakened condition Lieutenant Commander Cook remained aboard his vessel during all of tne rescue work. A message received here stated he was the last man taken aboard the rescuing ship, the U. s. S. Alantheus. Ills condition was reported to be serltus, although h* was responding to treatment.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1920.

WRANGLE SEEN TONIGHT WHEN BUDGET IS UP Indicated Discussion Will Not Be Cut and Dried. FULL HOUSE EXPECTED Unless all signs fall the public hearing on the Indianapolis annual budget before the city council tonight will be no cut and dried affair, despite the fact that the summary of the budget published by City Controller Robert H. Bryson and other department heads, Is far from giving the public any real basis on which to make Inquiries. Robert E. Tracy, director of the bureau of municipal research of the Chamber of Commerce, has lnrited all business men’s organizations to send delegations, and he himself Is expected to have something to say, having been able to obtain possession of one of the three complete copies of the budget. Sir. Tracy said he would like to see the budget taken up Item by item. Leaders of the council, realizing that they are to sit In more of a Judicial than an Inquisitorial capacity, have requested Mayor Charles W. Jewett to see that either the heads of every city department or men who may represent them responsibly are present at the hearing. COUNCIL TAKING NO CHANCES. The council does not Intend to answer the questions which' should be asked of' the men who prepared the various estimates on which funds for the maintenance of the city next year must be appropriated. Let the department heads answer to the citizens directly, the councllmen say. "I hope we have a very representative body of citizens at the hearing,” said Russell Willson, republican member ot the council, and In most matters sup-, porters of the Jewett administration. "I have advocated that citizens come to 1 the meeting In large numbers, prepared to ask intelligent, searching questions. "I feel there are many things In the budget about which citizens might very properly Inquire, tor there are some things that I wish to know before I pass on It." Members of the council expressed reall- ‘ zatlon of the fact that the public has been aided poorly In preparing Itself to Inquire Into the way In which the Jewett administration Intends to spend the people's money next year through the Inadequate publication of estimates to which ihe officials resorted. MANY ITEMS ARE WITHHELD. It Is pointed out that the so-called! "budget" which was published legally; contained an approximate total of not more than 290 to 230 items, while the real budget, of which only three copies are thought to be In existence, contains several thousand. Department beads defended their pub- 1 llcatlon of totals instead of detailed Items by saying that publication of the complete estimates would be too much trouble and entail too much expense for ad- i vertislng. Persons who like to see public affairs , conduttcd across ths top Instead of under tfce table, had little' patience with this explanation, seeing In the limited publication only the Intent to “get bv”j under the law, and not to give to the people anv real Information as to the administration plans. Mr. Wilson Is one of those who would like to see the complete facts advertised. “The budget Itself snd not Just a summary of It, ought to be published, because no one can get a real Idea of the estimates from the limited form,”

j be snid COUNCIL ALSO IS PATIENf E SHY. The council also is known to be more ! or less out of patience with tho delay In getting the budget into it* hands ! during the three years of the Jewett j : administration. j Last year the council had time to do ; little more than give the estimates one J fleeting glimpse before it was necessary to pass lt. This year lt ha* been In the hands of the council a little more than two weeks and thl, the coiincliiaen said, was far too short a time to give it any real item j by Item study as should he done if their full responsibility of protecting the pub- j He interest is to be lived up to. I “We are going to notify the mayor and i all the department heads the first of next i year that we wish the budget to be In j our hands on ox before July 18,” aaid j Mr. Willion. “There is no excuse for holding it up j until the tax valuation Is received from j the auditor late In August. “If we can get it by Jnly 15 we will j have time to glv it real study.” ThU is also the Idea of the other eounctlmen, Mr. Willson said. The committees appointed by some of i the organizations, which Intend to have representatives at; the hearing are as follows: AMONG THOSE TO BE PRESENT. Optimists Club—Frnak A. Todd, Scott j Brewer, ft. L. Davidson, H. K. Ostrora and G. R. Raub. Hoosier Motor Club— Roy E. Adsms, Edward W. Harris. Orlando D. Haskett, Dick Miller and C. W. Wells. • Board of Trade —Fred Hoke. American Club—Members Davis, Bolte, Brooks, Reinhart, Pollock and Durham. The Service Club—Sidney 8. Miller, John T. Kautz, Myron M. Hughei, Paul Weehtman and John P. Ragsdale. Municipal Research Committee of the Chamber of Commerce —John R. Welch, chairman, Franklin Vonnegut, J. H. Lederer, Ernest Bros*, Hilton U. Brown, James M. Ogden, Alfred Potts, Frank J. Noll, Charles E.'Rusb, Brandt. C. Downey, Donald Graham, T. J. King, James H. j Lowry, F. J. Horuff, E. L. Cothrell, j B’rank C. Jordan, Herbert M. Woollen, William Fortune, Earl Conder, Dwight S. Ritter, Merritt Harrison and Henry Ostrom. It Is expected that some of the women’s organizations will bo represented. TROUBLE LOOMS IN MEXICO AGAIN Expression Against Dominguez Sent to Huerta. MEXICO CITY, Sept. 3.—The first indication of the possibility of nerious dissension over the presidential eleetton Sunday developed today when the national republican party formally protested against the candidacy of Gen. Pablo Obregon, charging lt violated the constitution. The party which is supporting Robles Dominguez against Obregon sent a letter to President De La Huerta enclosing a copy of a memorandum to congress.

The letter to De La Huerta ut-ged him not to deliver the presidency to Obregon.

V___ J MACSWINEY AT DOOR OF DEATH; BREAK LOOMS Irish Mayor Shows No Signs of Life Save Quiver of Eyelid. RIGHT SIDE PARALYZED LONDON, Sept. 3.—Terence MacSwlnay, lord mayor of Cork, was virtually lifeless in Brixton prison today. On the twenty-first day of his hunger strike he showed no signs of life save an occasional quiver of an eyelid. Relatives who were at hi* bedside declare that to all intent hi* body was, dead but that “his spirit still Ungers.” I A serious divergence of opinion between King George and his ministers lies arisen over the question of releasing Terence MucSwiney, according to rumors circulated today. It was reported that at the intercession of Queen Mary the king threatened to issue a royal proclamation freeing MacSwlney. Premier Lloyd George was said to have a counter threat to hold up such a proclamation. Some of the ministers were alleged to be willing and even anxious to revoke the governmental order against releasing hunger strikers, but the premier wn* said to be adamant. The lord mayor was reported to hav* developed paralysis of the right leg j and right arm, due to failure of clrcu \ lation. Physicians Were said to have ex pressed the fear that this condition would gradually extend to the whol* body.

The dock workers, following t mass meeting, showed telegrams claiming that similar action bad been pledged by Irish sympathizers and dock workers at Galveston, New Orleans, Newport New# and Philadelphia, while at Boston an antiBritish strike already was under way. The International Longshoreman's union repudiates the action of Its members who qnlt their posts on New York piers several days ago when British stilps were being loaded.

“HARDING’S PEACE IDEA HAS ( BATS IN BELFRY ’ ”

BOTH SIDES PREPARE FOR BATTLE ROYAL ‘Slush Fund’ Investigation Takes on New Life With Moore’s Leads. WITNESSES SUMMONED CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—The week-end lulls In the senate committee's investigation of funds is being used by both republicans and democrats in marshaling forces for next week's battle roj.il. Democrats were more active than republicans here today. E. N. Moore, who yesterday put new life Into the inquiry by his arrival with new leads for the committee, conferred with party leaders and continued to give out interviews. Moore and the other democratic leaders united in asserting that they have now “put it up to” the committee to do gome real investigation concerning Gov. Cox's three-fold charge—that the republicans were preparing to raise a corruption fund of $15,000,000; that sinister Interests had their check books ready to buy an underhold on the government by aiding Harding's election and that profiteers and those desiring to see the tayonet used to control labor were In league with the G. 0. P. Moore said one Important “lead” has already heen given the committee through testimony regarding William Barnes’ "militant propaganda” enterprise snd the pledges of support to it from men and corporations of great wealth. MOORE PROMISES TO POINT THE WAT.

Another lead will be given, he said, when he testifies at the resumption of the hearings next Tuesday. That lead, he declared, will point the way to the evidence proving Cox's $15,000,000 slush fund < bsrge. Will H. Hays and other republican leaders pooh-poohed the suggestion that Moore or Cox "had anything on” them. Hays and Fred Upbam. republican treasurer, said Moore has brought a lot of "old stuff” to the committee. They said their only defense against his charge that a vast secret money raising organization was built, under direction of a professional money raiser will be a repetition of the denial they made when this charge was first made. Members of the senate “slush fund” committee left Chicago today, following adjournment, until next Thursday, without hearing Edmund H. Moore, Gov. Cox's personal emissary. Moore appeared before the committee yesterday, but when it wna learned bis testimony would concern only leads to evidence of s $15,000,000 republican campaign fund, the committee adjourned until Tuesday without further queationing. Before adjournment the committee, in executive session, leaned subpoenas for the following persona; Harry M. Biair, Marion, 0., “financial wizard” of the republican campaign. Mra. Jacob Bauer, Chicago, vice chairman Illinois ways and mean* committee. Fred A. Miller, chairman Ohio republican ways and means committee. John G. Bryson, rice chairman, Indiana republican ways and ineuna committee. Warren S. Diekey, chairman Missouri republican ways and means committee. H. G. Garrett, Winchester, chairman Kentucky republican ways and means committee. W. K. Woodford and Dudley 8. Blossom, Cleveland, 0., republicans. The Cleveland men are to be questioned on democratic charges that Cleveland was assessed a campaign quota Independent of that levied against the state. BLVIK SAYS HE 19 MERE COG IN MACHINE. Henry M. Blair, so-called "financial wizard" of the republican campaign and rsaistant to Treasurer Fred W. Upham of the republican national committee, denied in a statement that he is the “copntry'a greatest money-getter," as charged by Edward H. Moore, personal emissary of Gov. Cox. Moore declared that Blair was the “greatest professional money-getter in the country and head of a great syndicate of paid collectors who had piled up a fund of $16,000,000 for the republican campaign.” ”1 am "Dow under subpoena* to appear before the senatorial subcommittee," Blair said, “but there will be nothing sensational about my testimony because I have no sensational testimony to give. “I am a mere cog in ihe machine. “? am not entitled either to the fame or notoriety Mr. Moore would confer on me,” Blair said.

Secretary Colby, In his note to Poland, after stating that the first Polish invasion of Russia helped the bolshevik cause, suggested that Poland make a formal declaration of Its intention to refrain from territorial aggressions In Russia: that It announce Its war efforts were not against a united Russia, and that it remain within the ethnolographic boundaries fixed by- the peace conference. POLAND IGNORES THESE REQUESTS. The Polish government In its reply Ignores these requests insofar as specific and direct reply Is concerned, and calls attention to the fact that Poland is playing a lone hand and that from a military standpoint she must rely on her own strength and be governed by military necessities. “The most sincere desire to live on peacefully and friendly terms with her eastern neighbors," is expressed by Poland, and this is-Jtie closest approach in the note to an answer to the American suggestions. Secretary Colby's only comment on the Polish reply was that, "It is a very satisfactory discussion oftthe matter.” State department officials point out that | the note is a general assurance on the part of Poland that the warfare It is now engaged in is purely defensive and that Poland will not continue aggressive tactics after the safety of Poland Is assured through military success. Tbts assurance, it was said, is about all the United States could expect at this stage of the conflict. WON’T DISCUSS NEXT STEP When Secretary Colby left the whitehouse, after nearly an hour conference, he stated that he could not discuss the conference or the next step in the Polish situation. "The newspapers leaped to a conclusion this morning for which much can be said.” the secretary declared, “but I am sure that It is the right conclusion. The note must be read In the light of conditions over there. We must not too readily place the construction on the note that Poland is evasive.” RUSSIANS REACH BREST LITOVSK LONDON, Sept. 3.—Russian troops on the Polish front have reached BrestLltovsk in their counter offensive, it is (Continued on Page Eighteen.)

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—America's epicurean appetite still costs the public money, according to a statement from the institute of meat packers here today. The statement, covering meat trade conditions for August, said the public still demands the choice cuts and cheerfully pays the extra cost. How this demand for the best affected prices In August was shown by the fact that sbeer loins cost 20 to 25 cents more than cow loins: fresh beef from steers. 8 to 10 cents than that from cows; heavy pork loins, from 6 to 8 cent's cheaper than loins from light animals. The feature of the trade for the month, the statemeut adds, wa;; the greatest difference In price between different grades of meats, and even between various cuts from tie earns grads, ft

OPEN LETTER TO LUCIUS B. SWIFT, Member Sanitary Board. Dear Sir—This community ran sympathize with you In your efforts to make Charlie Jewett's garbage plant a paying proposition, but it. can not understand why you should be so loathe to admit what every one else knows—that It can not be done. There Is really no good in pretending that the sanitary district did not get beatuifully stung when it was forced to pay $175,000 for this SIO,OOO plant. Your efforts might better be directed toward making out a method by which the sanitary district can rid itself of the plant and tb annual drain of thousands of dollars necessary to maintain It.
