Mr. Hines recommended a definite plan for a legislative campaign, declaring that Inadequate schooling facilities result In Insufficiently educated men and women who are restless, discontented citizens with low vitality. In discussing the higher taiaries of teachers Mr. Hines said that a teacher must be paid enough to guarantee a comfortable living the entire year. He also recommended a law giving teachers positlona as lot>g as their work is satisfactory and efficient, thus eliminating the present constant of instructors, especially in the rural schools.

He gave his views from tbe standpoint of a foreign-born citizen of the United States, Dr. Steiner having been born in Hungary.. Dr. Steiner expressed himself as ad- ' verse to forcing the foreigner to learn the English language, but said the foreigner naturally absorbs the language from personal contact. He advocated teaching them the poetry and songs of the country before teaching them th eConstltution. * He deplored the bill In Congress that every foreigner who has not learned the English language In five years be deported. “Why .ships enough will not be available if that belcomes a law,” be said. "People cannot be assimilated by force; such methods will alienate, not Americanize.” In the matter of the constitution the question of whether State conventions are (Continued on Page Nineteen.)

FRAUD CHARGE IS MADE Jesse Eschbach, chairman of the special coal and food commission, today asked for the assistance of the Federal Government in handling the coal situation in Indians. Mr. Eschbach forwarded to Charles K. Cljme, United States district attorney at Chicago, a letter from Byron Smith, manager of the Foster Lumber and Coal Company of Valparaiso, in whleb he says nine cars of coa! had been consigned by the J. H. Wooley Company of Evansville, to the Westlake Coai Com pany of Valparaiso, when no snch company existed. Smith said he found the coal, learned of its hilling and took the car numbers that be might find the owner. He sailed at the office of the Westlake Coal Company at Chicago and attempted to buy some coal, he said. He was asked if he was a consumer or dealer, an*d was informed that no coal was on hand for sale to consumers. Mr. Smith then told of the nine car* at Valparaiso, for the ficticious company, and was immediately sold the nine cars of coal for resale. DEMURRAGE ON CARS RUNS HIGH.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1920.

i Paul Davis Tells Where He Stands If I am elected prosecuting attorney I will seo to it What none of the taxpayers’ money is unlawfully appropriated and I will diligently prosecute any one who spends the county’s money without legal authority, regardless of whether he Is on my side of the political fence or not „ I believe that an aggressive investigation b>' the prosecutor of the manner iu which the public money is spent will result In a more economical administration of our public affairs and to the end that we may have lower taxes in this county, I will, If elected, thoroughly Investigate the manner in which money is paid out of the public treasury. This ypar the tax rate for Center Township is $1.60 upon each SIOO worth of property. Next year we will be required to pay $2.42 upon each SIOO worth of property. The tax levy has not only been increased more than 50 per cent in a single j'ear. but the valuation of property in this county has increased more than 50 per cent. I think that one of the greatest benefits that a can bring to the county Is zealously to watch the money that is spent and the indebtedness th!** is incurred upon behalf of the public. If tbs State board of accounts or any Individual brings to my attention the claim that the public's money is being spent in violation of law, I will consider it the most important business of tbe grand Jury immediately to investigate /ill such claims and 1 will fearlessly prosecute to the best of my ability any and all who violate the confidence of the people by unlawfully spending the public’s money or incurring Indebtedness against the county without right.

Many Can Testify This 'Lodge' Effective in Money Getting *Goaf Public Gets Inkling of Card System in Forcing High Contracts. NEW YORK, Oct 22.—A “lodge” embracing 243 miuiter plumbers, having initiation fees, dues and various secret rights, and in which the general public Is th* "goat" was revealed at the hearing of the Joint leg islatAe committee investigating tbe building industries. Many member# of this lodge, known a* the code of practices, handle plumbing contracts tn all parts of the Unitad States. Through various witnesses it was brought out that the procedure followed by this organization, on big coni recta snd little, weres sfmbers would revolve * green card from headquarter* wk*n bids were to be submitted on a c©rtrt*ct. in return they wouM send In bid# on pink cards, not to the builder, but to headquarters. These bids would be compared and returned, sometime# with corrected figures. The member whose “turn" it was to have the contract would then submit s new bid to the builder and his "lodge brothers" would se© that their bids were higher. In this way competition was eliminated entirely and plumber* were able to make contracts Infinitely higher than they otherwise could have done. Testimony showed that th# cod* of practlc* did about $100,000,000 worth of business a year. Os this they paid in $4,000,000 as dues of “insurance.” One million dollar* of this was supposed to go to John T. Hettrlck, a lawyer, who is said to have evolved the scheme and headed the “lodge." Under examination by Ramuel Unterrayer, counsel for the committee, Milton Schnaler, a plumbing contractor, reluctantly expressed the belief that the other $3,000,000 a year went to the “super union” as protection against union plumbers being called off a Job without and pretense. TTntermyre- made a formal statement in which he attacked an alleged declaration by J. J. O’Conner, attorney for Robert P. Brlndelt, president of th* Building Trades Council of New York,” that the Investigation was intended to discredit organized labor. “In point of fact, no greater service to the cause of legitimate organized labor has, over been rendered > than that of exposing, punching and ejecting from its councils the vultures who have been fattening upon ita vitals,” Untermyer raid. The hearings were adjourned until Nov. 4. death Cheats DIVORCE MILL Defendant Found Dead at Serving of Summons. "What God has Joined together let no nine put s aßunder.'' That might, have been a fitting text for the opening of Superior Court, room 3, today as attaches reported to Judge Solon Carter when they arrived at the home of Joseph Brooks, a negro, living at 1008 East Eighteenth street, to serve a summons calling for the appearance of Brooks Into court as a de_f indant In a divorce action, that a "minister was preaching Brooks' funeral.” The leturn shows that Brooks is dead and the case was ordered dismissed. The dead man was sued for divorce by Lucy Brooks some time ago and the date was set for Nov. 4. FIREMAN’S NECK BROKEN.

SAYS ELECTION BOARD PLAYS POOR POLITICS Discrimination Charge Made in Distribution of Voting / Machines. VOTE IS y WISHED The playing of “peanut politics” by County Auditor Leo K. Fesler, County Clerk Ricnard Sipe and Jackson Carter in refusing to provide Woodburn Masson. the Democratic member of the Marion County election hoard, with a/complete list of all voting machines now distributed to various 'enters for demonstration purposes, today resulted in. a public protest by Mr. Masson. Mr. Masson Charges that only a few of the’machines, which were requested to be placed In certain Democratic centers, have been pieced, although they have been ordered by the board of county commissioners. Following the failure of Mr. Masson to obtain a complete list of the loaation of | the voting machines he issued the foli lowing stnteincnt; Upon Investigation, I found that the county employes, under instructions from Leo lv. Fesler, auditor, representing th® board of comity commissioners, had been engaged in distributing voting machines to various parts of the city and placing them in many more precincts than had * beep reported. , I had information which led me to believe that at least seventy-two machines bud been sent out. Os these, only sixteen had been sent to places selected the Democratic committee. / • I requested of Mr. 'Williamson, the man placed in charge of the machines by the ' county Cfgnmlssioners, a list of all placet to which machines had been delivered. UEriSEH TO GIVE MASSON A I.IST. He refused to glCe me the list unless instructed to do so by Mj. Sipe and Mr. Carter, the Republican member* th* election commission, who were present .when I made the request. : I pointed out to them that as a member of the board I was entitled to tbla Information and that the public was enj titled to if so that voters might have opi portutilty to practice on the machine*, i I also stated to them that if certain . parts of the city or precincts had been j discriminated agalDSt In the location < f l machines that was a matter that ought to l>e made public.

desired, venerable brethern, that all States, putting aside mutual suplelons, should unite In one league, or rather In one family of the peoples, calculating both to mslnfiin their own independence and saLigTard the order of the human society. What especially among na- * tlons calls for such an association of nations Is the need, generally recognized, of making'eveay effort, to abolish or to reduce the enormous burden of the military expenditures, which States now bear In order to prevent these disastrous wars, or at least to remove the danger of them as far as possible, so would each nation be assured not only of its independence, but also of tbe Integrity of its territory within Us Just borders.

FUND SHIFTING GOES MERRILY ONATCITYHALL | Unused Money Here Is Taken * to Plug Hole That Has Developed There. OTHERS ON- SCHEDULE 1 The annual procession of city money l being transferred from one fund to an- ! other so as to plua holes in the budget, ■ which have developed either through unj warranted, extravagance In the expendli tnra of funds already appropriated or i the failure of cjty officials ldequately to ; provide for the needs of the year. Is In 1 progress. A total of $47,828.9$ already has been transferred from fund to fund bv action ! fit the city con ncil on recommendation of various department beads and ordl- ; naneea for the shifting of $36,117.22 more i are in the hands ot council committee*. Certain members of the counril have ; Indicated that they believe It la ahout ( time either to have a thorough understanding as to why such Judgllng of funds 1.-' necessary or stop the practice. Scrutiny of the transfers already j discloses the Jewett administration plan- , nlng to spend $30,000 more from one fund j than the 1920 budget calls for, and $2,000 , more from another than tbe budget pro- ( videe and even SI,OOO more than the budget for next year lia*s. Analysis of these and other financial ; mores of the administration further shows that there was appropriated in one fund as high as $45,588.98. which will not be spent. Indicating that certain funds which the public was not likely to question last September were made exorbitantly high in order that there might be plenty of money with which funds likely to be criticised might be quietly padded later in the year. CONTRARY TO STATEMENT IN ENGINEERS BUDGET, i Several of these moves are being made (in funds listed in the city civil engi- | neer’s department In the face of a statement on the opening peges of hla 1920 budget as follows: In arriving at a conclusion as to what is required, careful consideration has heen given to the fact that wo must economize in every way possible, curtail expenses and live within our means during the next year, Probahly never in the history of In- , dlanapolls has there been such widespread j complaint about the condition of streets and alleys and yet the transfer ordinances, reveal the administration taking a total l of $43,588.98 from the $158,658 "street and alley improvement fund" and placing it in others. Os this $43,588.98 slice off of the possibility of good streets and alleys $15,000 goes to the “gas and vapor lights fund.” This is not the official name of the latter fund, as It Is given in the chief 1920 appropriation ordinance as the “electric, gas and vapor lights fund," but this made uo difference to the council. Nor did the fact that there had already been appropriated $158,058 for “electric, gas and vapor lights.” The $15,000 contribution from the (Continued on Page Ten.)

SEES ELEVENTH HOUR PANIC IN ROOT’S EFFORTS # Cox Plans Counter Moves Against Frantic Raid on Gains. INVADES NEW JERSEY EN ROUTE-WITH GOVERNOR COX, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.—Governor James M. Cox, beginning his first invasion of New Jersey was considering counter-moves against what he believes Is an eleventh-hour attempt of Eilku Root, backed by Senator Harding, to stem the tide he says has swept toward his candidacy. After reading Root’3j , eply to his telegram demanding that the Republican leader retract his statement that “Mr. Cox wants thejeague Just as Mr. Wilson negotiated It,”"the Governor said the apj larent objective of this movement is to misrepresent his attitude on reservations from now until election day. Cox believes 'Root is endeavoring to create the ‘false issue" of the campaign. He said he noted similar tactics in Harding’s Rochester speech. “Suddenly the Republicans, after their candidate has declared In favor of rejection of the league, begins talking of the Lodge reservations,” he said. “Senator Lodge did not write an Indorsement of his reservations into the Republican platform and at no time during his somersaulting on this issue has Senator Harding declared In faror of them. "If the child Is abandoned by its own father I shall not consider myself duty bound to act as Its guardian.” MAY ISSUE STATEMENT TODAY. It is probabie that Cox win issue a statement in reply to Root later in the any. Mr. Root’s telegram to Governor Cox I follows : I have today received your telegram dated yesterday (Wednesday). I would not willingly do you injustice and I do not think I have. You began your campaign by an interview with the President and authoritative statement that you and he were in complete accord on the League'of Nations. I cannot be mistaken about hla position. Throughout [ tbe long struggle in the Senate he stoadi lastly refused to give his assent to any reservation which substantially changed the covenant as he brought It back. He certainly has not changed. Hla very ! recent utterances show that. If you have changed from that cotn- ( plete accord with him, I have not heard : of it. Such a change is not Indicated by i the vague and general expression of your telegram, saying that you will accept reservations that “will clarify, that vn’l I be helpfnl, that will reassure the Amort. can people,” that you would ait down with the membera of the Senate, that vou would confer with Mr. Wilson, Mr. Taft and myself and tall others who have a sincere purpose,' etc., etc., because yon are the one who would determine what was helpful, what would reassure tha American people, what advice you would follow, and you are solemnly publicly pled/ed to an with Mr. Wilson concerning the covenant he brought beck from Europe. There ia one statement of your tele- ! gram that does not (five a definite tdeatf where you stand upon what Mr., Wilson declares to be the heart of the league—the general alliance of artirie 10, by which the United states would undertake to guarantee as against external aggression the territory and independence of every member of the league, and ts (Continued on Page Two.)
