STATE SCHOOLS TO PRESS M’CRAY WITH DEMANDS Educational Funds Need One of First Problems of New Administration. Warren T. McCray and the admlnletra lire officer* who will assume control of the State government after the first of tbe year will be confronted with a gigantic edoeatlonal problem. In general. the task before them is to bring Indiana np from forty-second place in school cfrcles to a front row position. Probably no other administration ever faced snch a task and that the Governorelect realizes this is evident from the fact he has Instructed a junketing commission to Investigate educational laws in other States. The State tnstltntions of higher learning. Purdue University, Indiana University and the Indiana State Normal school at Terre Haute are bankrupt and one of the first duties of the new officials will be to place them on an efficient basis again. The State Normal School does not have enough money In Its general fund now to meet the monthly pay roll for the faculty and Purdue is contemplating limiting attendance in order to meet the restrictions imposed by a parsimonious financial policy. The predicament at the State Normal School is alarming the present officials and several Informal discussions have “been held in an effort to devise means for overcoming the difficulty. The institution is unable to borrow money and the only course open seems to be to appeal to the State Auditor to advance funds in anticipation of the payment of fall taxes. It is pointed ont that the legislature has endeavored to operate the schools for the same amount of money that was required before the war. Some time ago tbe beads of the three institutions united la a demand for a higher tax levy, but Instead of granting it the State Board •f Tax Commissioners added another cent to the general fund. The schools, therefore, must wait until the next Legislature can appropriate this money. A conference of people Interested In educational affairs will be held at a dinner to be served In the Claypool Hotel on the evening of Nov. 29. The presidents of the two universities and the State Normal will be present and it la expected that recommendations for the guidance of tbe Legislature will be evolved. It is certain the General Assembly will tip asked to deal more generonsly with the schools than has been the custom in the past and It la expected steps will be taken to place the school finances on a better business basis. Legislation affecting rural schools will also come before the Legislature. Uor exi mple It Is probable the office of State superintendent of public Instruction will ask that the seven or more laws relative to consolidated high schools and township schools be re-enacted in a single measure that will facilitate Its appllca- j tlon. Another question that is expected to arise will be that of placing attendance officers on sufficient salary to make the office attractive and to give them more authority. At present the attendance officers receive $2 a day and are re qulred to pay their own expenses and as a result very few counties have active agents and some have none at all. The officer's authority is limited also, for he has no power to take a truant youngster back to school within a five-day period. The lawmakers probably will receive a bill raising the pay of the attendance officers and giving them authority to force truants into the classroom at once. A conference on this subject will be held in the State superintendent of public instruction's office next Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. It is expected that an agreement on the nature of a bill to be Introduced at the next session will be reached. The Legislature must also meet the text book situation, which has seriously embarrassed school officials for several years. There are three courses open In this respect, according to educatorsgranting a higher rate of profit to school book retailers; forcing the publishers to take back unsold supplies and free tett boots. Already many States provide free books along with school supplies and It is likely this feature will receive serio <s consideration by the lawmaker* Legislation In regards to teachers' salaries is not expected to come up this winter, as it is believed the minimum salary law enacted by the special session last Aumtner will be allowed to stand unchanged. Recommendations concerning changes In the teachers’ pension law will he made by a special legislative committee of the State Teachers' Association. Chief among the recommendations will be one making the law compulsory on all teachers, and another lowering the age requirements.

HANOVER ALUMNI PLANS COIN DRIVE Representative* of 1.100 alumni and former students of Hanover College met today at the Claypool Hotel to perfect plans for the $500,000 endowment campaign from Dec. 8 to 15. Those who attended the luncheon are the chairmen of city and county groups In Indiana In which the alumni are most strongly gathered. Fred Mints, chairman for Indiana, presided at the luncheon at which I>r. W. A. Ifillis, president of Hanover, described the uses for which the money is needed. He said the greatest need is for an upward revision of professors’ salaries, since the present average of $1,700 a year makes it practically impossible to -get the men needed for instruction at the college. A men's dormitory also is to be constructed and othpr needrd repairs made and equipment provided. Those present included the Itev. George W. Allison of Indianapolis, for Marlon. Boone and Hendricks; Henry W. Smith of South Bend, for Klkhart, St. Joseph and Kosciusko: Prof. Stanley Coulter of Lafayette, for Tippecanoe and Wh*te; the j Rev. If. C. Johnson of Cutler, for Carroll, tfass, Clinton and Pulaski. James E. Al- | mond of Wabash for Grant and Wabash; the Rev. S. W. Huffer of Munclp for Delaware and Madison; the Rev. William E. Hunter of tTawfordsville for Montgomery, Fountain. Parke and Vermilion; •T. C. Stlmson c? Terre Haute for Vigo; I. Newton Brown of Franklin for Johnson; the Rev. Dr. Alexander Sharp of Columbus for Bartholomew. Brown and Monroe; W. F. Gilchrist of Greensburg for Decatur; Edward L. Throop of Paoll for Martin and Orange; William E. Wilson of Pekin for Washington: Noble G. Hays of Scottsburg for Scottaburg and Anst'.n; Jesse Salyers of Canaan for Jefferson County, east: Albert B.

Riley of Corydon for Crawford and Harrison; Miss Elsla Tate of Paris, 111., Miss Nora Buekness of j Hanover. Miss Sara E. Wray of New . Albany, William J.

M. C. A. auditorium at 2:30 o’clock tomorrow afternoon. ‘‘The Courage of the Sword” "will be the subject of the talk.

M’CRAY WILL PURSUE OPEN DOOR POLICY (Continued From Page One.) be found to dispose of the other two men, Loth of whom are Goodrich appointees. MAY RECOMMEND TAX LAW CHANGE. > “The fundamentals of the present tax law are all right,” said Mr. McCray, “but I think some changes are required. I am having it investigated and I think osme recommendations for revision will be made.” Mr. McCray said that he hoped to elevate the standard of education In the State, and that he expected to evolve some plan through conferences with educators whereby the financial situation cf the State schools can be cleared up. Mr. McCray does not Intend to arrogate to himself the functions of the legislative department of the State government, emphatically declaring that he “will not be the Legislature.” He will have very few recommendations to make In his first message, he said, and will leave It largely up to the assemblymen to enact needful measures and to correct some of those already in the statutes. TO RECOMMEND PRIMARY REPEAL. "I shall recommend In my first message to the Legislature the repeal of the primary law,” he said. “I feel that it imposes too much of. a burden on a candidate. However, It will be up to the Legislature to bring about its repeal, for I am not and will not be the legislative branch of the government.” The Governor-elect said that so far as he 1b concerned no changes will he made In the coal control bill passed at the special legislative session last summer. It Is evident from Mr. McCray's expressions that he Intends to usher in a regime distinct In all ways from the Goodrich administration. He believes the people of Indiana voted for a "new deal,” as he terms If, and he Intends to bring that about if it is at. all possible. His opposition to a Goodrich controlled tax board has won him much favorable comment already and bis fight to clear the Statehouse of all forms of Goodrlehlsm will be watched with interest. JOHN VESTAL DIES AT HOME OF SON Funeral of Former Deputy State Treasurer Monday. John Vestal, former deputy treasurer of State, died today at the home of bis son, John Wilfred Vestal, 431 North Gray street. Mr. Vestal was born at Greenville, Lawrence County. Jan. 9, 1832.

HOPS AND MALT ORDER DEFINED (Continued From Page One.) Washington that he had planned to prevent the sale, of malt and hops to all persons except bakers and confectioners. The statement made plain the provision* of the Volstead act prevented the manufacture of home brew even for personal or family use. t ‘"The law should never be made an Instrumentality for persecution and Invasion of private homes without warrent," said Charles J. Orblson. prohibition enforcement officer for. Indiana, in regard to the Government's action toward home brew, whereby the sale of malt and hops U restricted. Mr. Orblson declared It to bo the policy of his department to enforce the law as It Is written, but added he found his greatest task to be in stopping the commercial traffic In liquor, referring to Illegal distilling and bootlegging. “We have not and will not have time with our limited facilities to investigate conditions In private homes,” said Mr. Orblson. “I am expecting all good citizens to obey the law, and am quite sure that If Information reaches the police department of the unlawful manufacture of beer and wine In homes Investigations and arrests will follow." No citizen of Indiana has thus far been prosecuted for making light wine or beer for his personal use. SBOO,OOO Advance to City Is Provided For Temporary loans, dne in December, will eat up most of an advance of $800,0(0 out of the December tax installment made to the city by County Auditor Leo K. Fes ler this week. City Controller Robert 11. Bryson said today. The advance will be -used to help meet pay rolls, but most of it will go t<> buy a $600,00 loan duo Dec. 13 and a J 280.000 loan due Dec. 23. The first loan was negotiated July 13, 1020, and the latter Oct. 23, 1019. The final payment of the December installment will be made to the city by the county late In that month. With these two loans paid the city finance department has only one temporary loan unpaid. This Is for $500,000, negotiated Sept. 11 to pay ordinary debts until the December Installment comes In. Provisions to meet this loan Is made la the 1921 budget. Former Gary Justice Begins Rum Jail Term Edward A. Gross, former justice of the peace at Gary, ia In the Marlon County jail today starting a six-months sentence for the transportation of liquor into a dry State. Gross was sentenced and fined SSOO by Judge Anderson of the Federal Court In December, 1918. Gross appealed to the Court of Appeals, which affirmed the lower court. Gross Is said to be the leader of a large group of Hungarians and \or this reason Is said to have considerable political power. X '

BRYAN URGES CHANGE MADE IMMEDIATELY (Continued From Page One.) ing no Vice President (in case Mr. Marshall becomes President) the Secretary of State is next in line of succession. “Now the reasons: Every one knows that the one matter on the President’s heart is world peace. He believes, and 1 think a large majority of the American people agree with him, that our Nation can greatly aid in promotion of peace by cooperating with the other nations. The President thought that this cooperation should be on the terms of the covenant as he presented it to the Senate. But the people have decreed otherwise and indorsed the Harding-plan of an association of nations. The President could hardly be expected to carry out the Harding idea, and it is not likely that the Republican Senators would permit him to do it If he tried. “Therefore, the only progress that can be made toward such cooperation is along the Harding plan with Mr. Harding himself carrying it out. I think the President would call forth overwhelming approval if he said to Mr. Harding: “ ‘I am not willing to delay by one day our nation's entrance into cooperation with other nations for promotion of world peace. 1 am not willing to assume the responsibility for a single life that may be lost if we delay action or for changed conditions that may decrease the value of our aid if that is postponed. Therefore I invite you to assume at once the responsibilities to which you have been cal>d.' , “Such an offer as above suggested might well be made, even If the President were well. In view of the tremendous importance of the issue submitted and the supreme value o' Immediate action, but such j an offer would seem to be the more wise : because nothing but a sense of duty could lead the President to risk his health and . even bis life In a contest not only un- : necessary but futile with a Congress elected two years ago as a protest and indorsed this year in its opposition.” SHIPPERS SPEAK FOR RATE BOOST Interstate Commerce Commission Takes Testimony. Indiana shippers on the stand today j before W. A. IllsqUe, attorney-examiner for the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the hearing being conducted in the Federal building for the purpose of determining whether Indianu railroad rates shall be further Increased, endeavored to point out the reasonableness of the Increase as fixed In the September order of the Indiana Public Service Commission. in a comparison of rates on carloads of coal and Iron, Involving distant a tin mlle > a car mile, and earning based on average weight of forty-five tone n j car, the shippers declare the net road j haul earnings and rates as charged In intrastate transportation are now reinlively higher than the rates charged in interstate commerce. It Is pointed out that coal shipped ftom the Linton coal fields to Anderson, a distnure of 122 miles, provides earning of 8 7 mills a ton after the terminal charge of 50 cents a ton is deducted, while coal shipped from Artemus, Ky., to Anderson, ,i distance of 329 mile*, clears 7.8 mills a ton for the carrier. It was expected that the hearing would ho concluded this afternoon, and Ex ; fimlner I'lsque will submit his report to the Interstate commerce commission in the near future.

SAYS FEDERAL BUYERS GOT IN ON COMMISSION Witness in Shipping Board Quiz Tells of Rakeoff. FIRE OF IVFADOO DRAWN NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—The congressional committee, headed by Representative Joseph Walsh of Massachusetts, today resumed Its quiz Into the network of graft and fraud, which, it is charged, permeated the activities of the United States Shipping Board and the Government’s entire shipping activities. . The investigation probably will shift to Philadelphia next week. The injection of the name of William Gibbs McAdoo Into the Inquiry brought a quick rejoiner from the former Secretary of Treasury that there had been nothing improper with his activities. He explained after his retirement from Government work, his law firm appeared as coumel for the Virginia Ship Board Company, “greatly to the benefit ’of the Government.” Miss Lizzie Morehouse, for eighteen years accountant of the Bird Archer Company of New York, dealers In chemicals, was the first witness today. “Our salesmen,” she testified, “allowed engineers and officers of the shipping board $5 commission on ten-gallon kegs of chemicals and $lO on twenty-gallon kegs, and those sums were 1 charged to advertising.” "Who paid this money?” asked Chairman Walsh. "Our salesman, Albert R. Waycott,” replied Miss Morehouse. Chairman Walsh brought out test! mony showing that the chemical con cern following an investigation in 1018 was dented further business by the ship ping board. Albert Waycott, general manager of the Bird Archer Company, confirmed on the witness stand the statements if Miss Morehouse. He Identified a list presented by Chairman Walsh showing several thousand “commission” payments to engineers and other employes of the shipping board. Waycott testified that these “commissions” totaled about $t!,000 a year. He said the payment of these sums "seemed to be the custom” and added that he condemned it. lie Insisted, however, that the commissions came out of the com pany’s profits and were not charged to the shipping board. 4 INDICTED FOR ‘TIGER’ ACTIVITY (Continued From Page One.)

I Confiscation of coal ordered sent ti various localities by the State Special Coal and Food Commission, by railroads, will be fought to the limit by the commission, Jesse E. Kschbach, chairman, stated today. Word reaching the commission’s offices Is to the effect that the railroads have , sufficient quantities of coal on hand to run them and that there is no necessity for confiscation of supplies sent to various cities on order of the commission j to relieve shortages. A car of coal con- 1 signed to a down-State city on order of the coal comm’sslon was confiscated by tbe Monon railroad, and steps will be taken, probably by the commission, to have the coal replaced. Mr. Kschbach says most of the railroads have agreed not to molest coal that Is being shipped on orders of the commission, should the far be so labeled. The order of Judge John E. Cox In the Vigo County Superior Court., granting an injunction restraining the Special (,'onl and Food Commission from enforcing an order directing the McClellan Coal Company to supply a certain quan tity of coal each month for use of customers. will not affect the commission. Chairman Eschbach said. The Injunction merely prohibits the prosecutor of Vtgo County from prosecuting the company for failure to carry out the order, according to Howard S. Young, attorney for the coal commission, who attended the hearing of the case. The report that the commission would appeal the case to a higher court Is erroneous according to statements of the members of the commission. The In junction was sought on the grounds that ibf- company had its entire output under contract for sale in other States, and the court held that the commission had no power to make an order affecting exist I ing contracts.

STUART RETIRES FROM SERVICE Government Employe to Leave Indianapolis Office. Romos F. Stuart, 3355 Ashland avenue, secretary to the local civil service commission, was today retired from governmental service In accordance with the retirement law, and while Washington authorities have not officially commissioned his successor It practically is assured he will be succeeded by Henry M.
