‘NO RELIEF FOR FARMER FROM > U. S.’—HOUSTON Secretary of Treasury Testifies Before Joint Session of Committees. SCOUTS LACK OF CREDIT WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Government relief for present conditions confronting farmers Is Impossible, Secretary of tbe Treasury Houston today told the House and Senate Agricultural Committees. Houston was the first witness today before the joint session of the committees which are seeking relief for the farmers who have been hit by the rapidly falling prices of their products. At the same time the secretary predictor] n drop in retail prices soon. He said retail dealer? had been holding out pgainst lowering prices but would not be able to do so much longer. “I don't know of any feasible plans of affecting any marked change In price conditions," said Houston. Houston declared government agencies have done everything that can be done to help the farmers. He said he advised fsrmers while he was secretary of agriculture. that a drop in prices was coming and urged them to prepare for it. He denied emphatically that farmers are suffering from lack of credit. “The much of deflation of contraction of credit does not exist.” said Houston. “The only limitation put on credit has been due to speculation.’’ Houston said in his opinion there was no way to finance agricultural export? because of the financial situation existing between Europe and the United States. “Europe new owes the United States about fourteen billions,” said Houston. *'Our exports are increasing annually so that this year they will total about eight and one-tenth billion dollars. How Eu- S rope can pay for the exports it is now receiving or can take more from the United States, I don't know.” Houston said he had grave doubts that revivals of the war finance corporation would be effective in relieving the farmers’ troubles by increasing foreign trade.

RUMORS OF STUTZ SALE J3ASELESS Vigorous Denial Given Story of Schwab Purchase. Additional denials that Charles M. Schwab hat acquired controlling Interest In the Btutz Motor Car Company of America were announced today by Thomas L. Marshall, sales manager of the company. William N. Thompson of New lork, president of the board of directors, sent the following telegram to Mr. Marshall: “Charles M. Schwab has Just given out the following statement to the press: 'Rumors that I have bought or obtained control of the Stutz Motor Car Company of America are absolutely without foundation and probably originated as a result of my vistt to the Stutz works with Mr. Ryan, but such visit was with no such object of purchase in view. I found the works In my opinion one of the best equipped of its kind I ever saw and I am sure it will be successfully operated by its present efficient staff.’ ” Mr. Thompson also sent the following message to Mr. Marshall: . "Viciously Inspired rumors that *are being circulated of an impending change In control of the Stutz Motor Csr Company of America are baseless. The present management and control of the company will not be changed. The company Is in a particularly prosperoua condition, and ita management most satisfactory to the owner. It owes practically no money, has no fixed or other charges ami has millions In free current assets.” Logansport Pupils Use Rifle on Teacher Special to The Times.

REGISTRATION OF ENGINEERS URGED Effort Made to Have McCray Recommend Legislation. Discussion of the proposed legislative biil providing for the registration of professional engineers, which lasted practically throughout the entire session, was the principal feature of the meeting of the Indianapolis Chapter, American Association of Engineers, held last night at the Chamber of Commerce following a banquet of the society. The committee on legislation was instructed to call on Goveruor-elect McCray to present a copy of the bill for/ the purpose of rccurlng his cooperation. Efforts are being made by the engineers to include the bill in the Governor's message to the coming legislative assembly. The bill provides for tbe licensing of ■ if. * : ena! engineers and land surveyors following a thorough examlna- . - tuui.ssioner of live members. County surveyors, who hold constitutional offices, and employes under the supervision of licensed engineers or firms, are exempt from the requirement. The chapter unanimously Indorsed the Joaes-Reavis bill, a movement which has been occupying public attention for more than a year, providing for the abo lltion of the department of the interior and substituting in its place a department of public works. It is pointed out that engineering work would l*e centralized and faei.itated If such engineering bureaus as those regarding public highways, now In the Department of Agriculture, the supervising architect and lighthouses, now in the Treasury Department, bridges over navigable streams, now In the War Department, anil similar divisions, each of which is purely engineering in scop?, would be placed in one general engineering department. The subject of traffic regulation on the Monument Circle was not discussed, but action on the question will be taken at the weekly meeting next Wednesday. ARMENIA’S NEEDS GROW WITH WAR Relief Funds Scarcely Enough for Week’s Demand. A dire picture of conditions In Armenia. anew crisis brought on by the storms of wars now in progress, is drawn by the Indiana Committee of Near East Relief, in an address to the public issued over the signature of John H. Holliday, State chairman. The committee incorporates a report by C. E. Vickrey, general secretary of Near East Relief, declaring that today there is a national fund of less than 5500.000 available for relief. “Seareelv enough to meet the full Near East It.* lief needs for one week,” says the secretary. 'i lie startling statement Is made that It will require $.10,000,000 to take earof relief in the Near East this winter Armenia is compared to Belgium “with the Belgians still in exile two years after the armistice.” It Is stated that the winter budget was made during comparative pence in Armenia and did not include plans for large emergency relief problems. Since then the cables announce “A hundred thousand refugees in one area. Jamming the road, shoeless, unsheltered, unfed” for whom there is no provision in th* treasury. Churches, Sunday schools and individuals are asked to remember that “this is the oldest Christian nation in the world and has probably given more martyr* to the Christian faith than all other nations combined.”
