CONTRACTOR TESTIFIES Interest In the investigation to fix the responsibility for the coUapse of the new Emmerich Manual Training High School building centered today in the testimony of Dave Carroll, in charge of the workmen who placed the large derrick on top of the steel skeleton. Carroll, together with workmen who assisted him in placing the derrick, were •eheduled *o appear before the coroner this afternoon. Carroll is employed by the Ittenbach Stone Company. Much Importance was attached to Carroll's testimony because of the coroner's statement that he is attempting to determine whether the derrick was properly supported by guy wires to prevent ■vibration. Albert Berner, vice-president of the Hetheringtor. & Berner Iron Company, wxs an Important witness at the morning session. Mr. Berner was not present at the time the brill ding collapsed, but he was questioned as Ir the condition of the steel used in the building, and as to whether the specifications for the steel work corresponded to that set forth in the city building code. Mr. Berner stated that the steel work met the specification of the building code in every war. He remained in the coroner s office only a short time. A. B. Button and .T. A. Wiest, who stood looking from the window of the Bpacke Machine and Tool Company across the street from Manual Annex at the Instant the structure collapsed, described the sight. SAY STmu, folded OVER FROM NORTH. They said the ironwork appeared to start to fold up from the north, the tresses falling against each other like a row of dominoes toppling over when the Ironwork buckled at a point near the derrick, the giant derrick sank from sight amidst the twisted steelwork in the central part of the building, they testis fied. Marion West, 308 Terrace avenue, hoisting engineer, has been reaubpoenaed to appear before the coroner.

POINTS TO NEED FOR ASH TRUCKS Rilev Hopes Council Will Rush Purchase. Hop** that the city council will not delay longer than Is necessary the ratification of fho contract for the purchase of two new five-ton motor trucks to be added to the ash hanling department equipment wa expressed by Thomas A. Riley, Democratic member of the board of works In charge of this branch of city work, today. The council received the contract, which calls for the expenditure of approximately SIB,OOO for two White trucks, of ■pedal chassis design, a week ago. The next meeting will l*e Dec. 6 and It Is not thought likely the council will act upon the contract until that tlm<\ Any unnecessary delay In the delivery of th trucks might seriously hamper the work of ash collection at a time when It would be most Inconvenient for the public. Mr. Riley said. At present the ash collection department Is operating four trucks and four units of six ash trailers each. These are going at full capacity every week day. Should one truck break down, the department’s efficiency wonld be cut 25 per cent, and Just that percentage of the populace be Inconvenienced. The board is purchasing six additional trailers, which, with one of the new trucks, will comprise a now collection unit. The other truck will be for use In case one of the regular power vehicles breaks down. With the new collection unit It will be possible to take care of it the Increased ash load coming from several new apartment houses on the north side. The board has negotiated a contract with the Troy Wagon Works Company of Troy, Ohio, for the six new trailers at a total cost of $!>.360, delivery to be twenty-on® days after approval by the council. The ordinance ratifying this contract probably will be sent to the council some time this week, Mr. Riley reported that from ten to fifteen complaints are received by the oeh department dally. This, he said, compares very favorably with the winter before last w hen the city first took over the work from a private contractor. J'rom 150 to 250 complaints per day was the rule then. The board confirmed the following resolutions: For main sewer from the main Interceptor In Merrill street to Sand street, thence In Sand street to Kentucky avenue; for local sewer In Buckingham Drive from a point east of Boulevard Place to a point east of Cornelius avenue and for a local sewer la Belmont atvenue from the first alley north of Michigan street to Tenth street.

Quibble Over Age of Man Convicted of Sister’s Death

Although Ollie Brown, convicted of manslaughter as the result of the death of Bister Mary Blanche of the Bisters of Providence, who was killed when she was struck by a taxi driven by Brown on Monument Circle April 9, has been sentenced in Criminal Court at least three times in the last three years, there arose today a question as to his age and consequently a question as to whether he should go to the State Reformatory or the State Prison. Records at the reformatory, whore he served two sentences, show that he Is 29. He testified in Criminal Court in the course of the manslaughter trial, that he was 25, and the Jury found this to be his age. Accordingly, he was sentenced to serve two to twenty-one years in the State Reformatory. Complications developed when officials at the Reformatory declared they were opposed to accepting him. Asa result, Judge James A. Collins of Criminal Court has ordered Sheriff Miller to hold Brown In the Marlon County jail until further orders. Meanwhile, a representative of the reformatory is expected to come to Indianapolis, obtain the commitment and go to Governor Goodrich with the request that Brown be transferred to the State Prison. Under the name of Watson, Brown was sentenced to serve a year on the State Farm for vehicle taking In 1918. Six months later, on the recommendation of Judge Collins, Brown was paroled by

Farmers Organize ‘Co-op' Societies to Fight Price Losses WASHINGTON, Nov. 22—Four million farmers are organized to fight lossea from falling prices through cooperative societies. Secretary Charles A. Lyman of the National Board of Farm Organizations announced today. “More farmers are joining the cooperatives every day," said Lyman. Farmers complain that prices have gone so low they are unable to produce food and stock at a profit. “Hogs are the latest farm product to feel the price depression, quotations for live animals reaching lower level today." Details plans for more effective nwaua to fight falling prices wii lbe made In a rt:ree-day congress beginning Dec. 16 in St. Louis, to which all cooperative societies in the country have been Invited to send representatives.

HOG PRICES NOW LOWEST SINCE ’l3 Won’t Offset Retail Mart for Sometime, Packers Say. Sustaining losses ranging from 40 to 65 cent*, hog prices at the local stock exchange reached the lowest level since 1913 at the close of the forenoon market today. Good heavy hogs sold * $10.75 at the close, which was a drop of 25"" rents from the opening prices. Commission men attribute the sharp decline to the effect of the lower tendencies on the other hog markets of the country, large receipts and a poor sentiment In the local market. Receipts for the past week or more have averaged around 12,000 per day, a high average for this time of the year. Reports are to the effect that farmers over the State have seen the hand-writing on the wall, and are sending their hogs to market as fast as train and truck can carry them. Packers say th# present drop In price* wiH have no material effect upon the retail price of pork for some time, probably three months, due to the fact that packers have on hand large quantities of high priced meats bought during the period when hog prices were high. ‘SHOP EARLIER,’ LATEST SLOGAN Christmas Buyers to Be Benefited by Shopping Now. “Shop earlier - is the advice of every j retail merchant in Indianapolis whose shelves contain ft suggestion that Santa j Claus is preparing for his annual visit. The Merchants’ Association is planning an unusually intensive campaign In the Interest of the early Christmas shopping movement and every effort will be made by the retail stores to drive home the slogan, “Do your Christinas shopping early ; do it now." Every store already Is prepared for the j increased holiday trade. Many articles ! now carried in stock could not he duplicated before Christmas. The campaign has a two-fold motive, to give the purchaser an opportunity of having a wider selection and to avoid over-crowding In the last days before Christmas. "There never has been any reason for people waiting until a few days before Christmas to make Christmas purchases.” Edward A. Knhn, president of the Merchants’ Association, said today. ‘ Through early shopping everyone concerned Is benefited.

Nov. 22.—Supreme Court today agreed to advance to Jan. tlie arguments on the appeal of Senator Truman 11. Newberry from ills conviction by a Michigan Federal Court on charges of violating the Federal corrupt practices act during bis Senatorial campaign.

Governor Goodrich. He immediately afterward appeared in Criminal Court on a charge of vehicle taking and was sentenced to the reformatory. He had served a sentence In the reformatory previously under another name. His second sentence to the reformatory was for an indeterminate period of from six months to five years. He served one year and four months when he was paroled by the prison board. It is also stated by the court that Brown at one time escaped from the Penal Farm 7 Brown should, under the law, now be treated os a man who has violated his parole, regardless of whether he goes to the reformatory or the prison and be required to serve at least three years before he Is again eligible for parole. Brown was one of the twenty-four prisoners who escaped from tho Marion County jail July 5. He was brought back from Oklahoma recently. Sheriff Miller regards Brown as a dangerous prisoner and has asked for additional guards to take him to whichever penal institution he may eventually bo committed. Asa result of his record, Brown could now under the law be charged with at least five offenses—violating his parole three times, escaping from the penal farm and escaping from the Marion County jail. None of these cases has been com pie ted.

STATE SCHOOL AID OF CONCERN TO EDUCATORS Vigorous Support to He Given a Hill Providing Hetter Facilities. WORD COMES FROM DRIVE What form the bill to be introduced in the next session of the Legislature, providing for making the State a taxing unit for school purposes, will take, was problematical today. While it is certain such a bill will be Introduced, the only question that remains now is how far th* bid Will go. One of the main objects of the *duca tional drive, sponsored and conducted by the State Department of Education, reports from which are coining in now. was to make the State taxing unit for school purposes. It was pointed out during the drive that under the present method of financing school corporations, many townships suffer to the increased prosperity of other*. For Instance, if a county haa an unusually large number of large corporations situated therein, the revenues derived by the school corporations is large. HOW COUNTIES ARJS AFFECTED. In count tea. however, whero agriculture Is the chief occupation, the revenue* received and apportions! to the schools is necessarily small, thereby placing tho school corporation In an embarrassing position financially. In townships of one county the school corporations of one township msv r>e better flxtrd financially than a neighboring township, thereby lowering the standard of education throughout the entire county. One method of aid for these poor townships Is now available through tho present State aid law. This provides that in counties or townships where revenues are so low or where finances have hern depleted so as to not allow the corporation to complete the school year without a deficit, tho State may loan an amount sufficient to complete the year. STATE SHOULD HR TAXING l NIT. This, however. In the opinion of school authorities of the State. Is not the proper way to handle school finances. They contend, as tho bill to bo Introduced in the assembly will substantiate, that the State should be the taxing unit lor school purposes, and the State should fix the levy and decree what amounts shall be collected In various communities, us the needs show. Vigorous support of the proposed bill will be given by educational authorities of Indiana, and a campaign for better educational facilities will be made between now and Jan. 6. the time of convening of tho regular session of the Legislature.

Nov. 22.—Driving of grafters from the Shipping Board will be a duty self-imposed on Col. Guy D. Goff, general counsel of the board and recently appointed a member.

Spread of Divorce Is Seen as Grave Domestic Danger Vatican Describes Wave as 4 Threatening Family Life and Foundations of Society 9 ROME, Nov. 22.—Th* tremendous Increase In divorce* in the United States Is being viewed with deep apprehension by the Vatican. Monslgnor Bonaventure Cerettt, adviser to Cardinal Gaspari, the papal secretary of state, today characterized the spread of divorce, not only in America, but throughout the world, aa “a wave which threatens to submerge and destroy not only the sanctity of family life, but the very foundations of society.” Pope Benedict XV 1* not contemplating any special measures at the present time against the divorce evil, but it was at the Vatican that "any attempt in till* direction, no matter from what quarter It comes, will receive the hearty support of the pontiff and his official family." Rumors have been current that Pope Benedict would Ibsu a world-wide appeal against divorce or take some other measure to combat the loosening of the marriage tie. Monslgnor Cerretl, in discussing this rumor, said: “No change Is contemplated at present in the consistent attitude adopted by the Holy See in regard to the divorce. The Roman Catholic Church has always condemned divorce and continues to combat it both from the pulpit and in various papal allocations dealing with the sanctity of marriage and family ties. The subject recently has acquired special zest as a result of the presidential campaign in the United States. “That several members of the non-Cath-ollc Episcopal clergy In the United States recently have taken a firm attitude against divorce was a matter of deep satisfaction to the Holy Father, because tt Indicates men and women with healthy minds and religious tendencies are building up a dike against this wave which threatens to submerge and destroy not only the sanctity of family life but the very foundation of society. One of the most eloquent spokesmen for the views of the Holy See on this subject has been and continue* to be Cardinal Gibbons.”

FORGET PARTY LINES TO HELP FARMER, PLAN Western House and Senate Members Will Try to Get Together. WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.—Party line# are to be obliterated and forgotten by Midwestern and Western members of th* House and Senate this winter in an effort to remedy the situation which has stirred resentment among farmers and livestock raisers.

Informal confcrem I #* planned among Republican and Democratic Senators from Western States hsve resulted In a decision to hold tuformal conference of Senators from all We stern States soon after the December session begins. Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, stated. At this conference a working program Is to be mapped out. if possible, for concerted action by Senators from farm and live-lock States, regardless of party in the Interests of the producers. The first test of their strength Is to be made on the Kenyon-Kenrlcks packing bill which will come before the Senate as soon as It meets. Hitchcock said he and other Pomorrutic Senators will support the bill energetically and will seek to amend It to reach soma of the evils that wheat and corn farmers are complaining of. Senators hostile to any regulation of the packers are preparing to talk the bill to death. But Hitchcock predicted they would have difficulty In sidetracking the measure, because of the strong support It will command. “The fnrmsrs in the corn and wheat sections have been roused to great re sentinent," said Hitchcock, 'because of conditions which have lowered prices to an extent that makes their future ruinous Corn is selling at less than the cost of productlou and some corn farmers are threatening to burn it rather than buy coal. The farmers feel there is something wrong with the marketing system, or control of tho markets, and they demand some corrective measures bo ,aken. “We westerners are going to try to get together regardless of party on measures In behalf of our constituency.” Wagon Mine Prices Will Be Decided On Indiana wagon mine operators and those operators who have been issued licenses since the fixing of prices In order No. 8 of the State special coal nnd food commission will appear before the commission Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, when prices will be fixed on their production.
