PURDUE HEAD SETS OUT NEEDS OF INSTITUTION Dr. Stone Outlines Proposed University Expenditures Totaling $1,000,000. * CITES RAPID GROWTH (Recommended legislation necessary to place the educational Institutions of Indiana on a higher plane Is contained In statements given to the Times by the presidents of Purdue University, the Indiana State Normal andjlndiana University. The needs of Purdue are set forth by President W. E. Stone In the following dispatch. ) Special to The Timea LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Dec. 14.—With the rapid growth of Purdue University, espe daily along agricultural lines, the equipment of the Institution has become entirely Inadequate. The Legislature will be asked to make an appropriation of 5595,038 additional annually for new buildings and for maintenance. Purdue this year probably will work in conjunction with other State educational institutions in asking for appropriations. Dr. W. E. Stone, president, and members of the board of trustees of the university probably will meet with the presidents and boards of trustees of the other two State schools within a few days to determine upon total appropriations and upon a tax rate to take care of these appropriations. “Our immediate and urgent needs are to bring the Institution up to par," Dr. Stone said In discussing the legislative program of Purdue. “On account of overcrowding: the diversion of our funds to absolute necessities and the consequent lack of equipment, buildings and a sufficient number of teachers, in order to put our institution on a reasonable footng with the present number of students we should construct $1,000,000 worth of buildings in the next three years and we must add a total of $265,000 to our current annual expenditures." Dr. Stone proposes that the appropriations for buildings be distributed equally over a period of three years. The capital expenditures program, he said, includes the erection of a school of agriculture at a coat of SIOO,OOO, a school of home economics to cost $200,000, an addition to the chemistry building to cost SIOO,OOO, a recitation hall to cost $200,000, a school of engineering to cost $250,000, equipment worth SIOO,OOO and an option on additional land at $50,000, making a total of $1,000,000. The following additions to current annual expenses also are proposed by Dr. Stone: For salary budget, $100,000; for maintenance, 550,000; for research, $15,000; for expansion, SIOO,OOO.

GENEVA, Dec. 14.—Argentina today refused to pay her financial assessment from the League of Nations and the matter was referred to the league council. World disarmament struck more snags. Leon Bourgeois, representing France, notified the league that France could not comply with the disarmament committee’s recommendations that nations should not exceed their present armament budgets. “It will be impractical for France to do so until Geruianv fulfills the terms of the Versailles treaty," said M. Bourgeois. The disarmament report pointed out further difficulties. It said that 3 the United States lacks laws to prevent private concerns from exporting arms, other countries would refuse to sign such.Un agreement because it would result in all such business going to the United States. Viscount Ishil, head of the Japanese delegation, had previously warned the league that Japan would not reduce her armament so long as the United States continued to Increase her laud and sea forces. • Argentina's refusal to pay her League of Natlous dues was evidently bused upon withdrawal of the Argentine delegation from participation in League of Nation affairs. Honorlo Pueyrredo, head of the Argentine delegation, explained at the time of the withdrawal of the Argentine delegation from the assembly that this was equivalent to absolute severance of relations with the league under Article 20 of the league covenant which specifies that a dissenting nation shall no longer be considered a member of the league.

FRICTION SEEN IN EFFORT TO STOP RUM SALES (Continued From Page One.) counties, south of a line drawn through the northern boundary of Marlon County, also declined to comment upon Mr. Tighe's statement. When it was pointed out that his statement was being considered a criticism of the prohibition officers, Mr. Tlghe declared he had not meant It as such. Tho prohibition officers spent some time trying to find out how the statement could be interpreted otherwise. Officials who declined to be directly quoted expressed deep resentment. They said that it Is as much the duty of the bureau of investigation to work on liquor cases as any other agency. Mr. Orblson has only two inspectors. Mr. Harris with six agents, and Capt. J. M. Van Hook, group chief for northern Indiana, with headquarters at Hammond, with nine agents, making a total of only seventeen Federal officers actually in the field in the State with the express duty of enforcing prohibition. Since it Is manifestly Impossible for fifteen men to cover the entire State so as to suppress the widespread violation of the law it is not too much to ask the bureau of investigation to cooperate once in a while, the sentiment of the prohibition officers seemed to be. Some of them declared that Mr. Tijhe has little room to criticise since the prohibition department has fouud it necessary on a number of occasions to do work which Mr. Tighe's men rightfully should do. MUNCIE PEXI)!> FORTY W ITNESSES. Forty witnesses from Muncle were at the Federal building this afternoon waiting to testify before the grand Jury. It is understood they will te!l of conditions which Mr. Tlghe claims to have discovered. There was marked activity around the Jury chambers. The witnesses got together in small groups and discussed things in low, guarded tones, now and, then breaking up to drift singly or in pairs to other equally secretive bodies. Federal agents established themselves in a room In another wing and every now and then entne out In the hall to get one of the witnesses. The witnesses apparently were being grilled before being taken before the investigating body. The agents would not discuss their activity. It was understood that Mr. Tighe personally was in charge of this work. Investigation of Muncle matters, which are said to include a number of violations other thna those Involving liquor, will occupy the time of the grand Jury for several days, the district attorney admitted. FAILS TO HEAR OF CASE OFFICIALLY. Answering the charges made Monday by Mr. Van Nuys that Ele Stans burg. Indiana attorney general, had failed to act on alleged liquor law violations lu Kokomo in accordance with tho State law requiring him to proseouto when county authorities fall. Mr. Stansbury said his attention has never been culled officially to the reported affair. Mr. Stansbury said he understood the Federal officers bad taken steps to Investigate the reported orgy and added that the only information of the affair he had was obtained through the newspapers. No citizen of Howard County, nor E. S. Shumaker of the Anti-Saloon League, has ever called his attention to the party, he said. Mr. Stansbury said his office was ready to cooperate with either local or Federal officials in the enforcement of the law. He characterized an “unmistakably unfair” the statement of Mr. Van Nuys that be had failed to enter counties where laws are said to have been violated.

FOUR JUSTICES MAY QUIT JOBS Harding Would Fill Vacancies Caused by Retirements. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14—It is regarded as very probable in Washington that President-elect Warren G. Harding is going to be confronted with the task of filling three, possibly four, vacancies on the bench of the United State Supremo Court before his administration is very old. Four sitting members of the court, Including the Chief Justice, are eligible for retirement and, if the normal course of events is followed out their places will be filled by the Incoming Harding administration. Those eligible for retirement are Chief Justice White, who is 75, and Associate Justice McKenna, 77; Holmes, 79, and Day, 71. The present makeup of the court is five Republicans and four Democrats. Os the sitting members, three are Wilson appointees, Mcßeynolds. Brandels and Clarke; two are Taft appointees. Vandevanter and Pitney; two are Roosevelt appointees. Holmes and Day, and Justice McKenna was appointed by McKinley. Chief Justice White was a Democratic Senator from Louisiana when appointed to the bench by Grover Cleveland. He was made chief by President Taft in 1910. . A number of recommendations have already been made to President-elect Harding In anticipation of these expected vacancies. TAFT'S NAME STANDS OUT. Standing out pre-eminently among them is the name of William Howard Taft. The ex-Presldent's friends confidently predict that Harding will take the first opportunity to name him to the bench and in case of Chief Justice White's retirement make him chief Justice. Taft is said by his friends to be very anxious to wind up his long and brilliant career in the culm dignity of the supreme bench, aloof from political attachments and partisanship. Another suggestion that has been made to the President elect is that of a man scarcely less distinguished—Charles Evans Hughes, who resigned from the court in 1916 and who came very near being elected President of the United State*. Two other names which have been put before Sen-ttor Harding as Supreme Court possibilities are those of ex Senator George K. Sutherland of Utah and Senator John Knight Shields of Tennessee.

Coach ltoekne and a number of the Notre Dame football players were at the bedside when the sUtf died. Glpp died from pneumonia. The official cause given was' declared to have been sterptococic throat trouble following an attack of tonsilltla. Glpp was first attacked by tcinsllltis following the Notre Dame-Northwestern game at Kvanaton, 111., Nov. 20, after he had entered the game during the last quarter against the doctor's orders, while suffering from a broken shoulder received in the game with Indiana a work before. Ills FINAL GAME AS GRID HERO. The Northwestern game was Glpp's last athletic appearance with Notre Dame and It was at his own request that he was allowed to play In that contest. Returning to South Bend he attended a banquet given the Notre Dame team by the University Club, but was forced to leave because of a sudden attack of throat trouble. He went to the hospital Nov. 24, and a few days later pneumonia developed. Glpp never had played football until he came to Notre Dame. He had been a baseball player and was ambitious to make the college nine. During football practice one day In the fall of 11)16 Glpp appeared on the gridiron and when, an oval rolled his way he picked It up and drop kicked from the sixty-yard Hue for a perfect goal. He was asked to try again and repeated. He had little difficulty making the eleven. His ability at the forward pass was one of the football sensations of tha Middle West. Gipp hurled tha football with the accuracy and ease with which he threw a baseball. Oipp's longest drop kick was In 1916, when he booted the ball sixty two yards for a score while playing with the Not.ro Dame freshman eleven against Kalamazoo (Mich.) Normal. This was the next to the longest drop kick on record, the record being held by Payne of Dakota Wesleyan, who kicked sixty-three yards in 1915. Arrangements for the funeral, which probably will be held at Laurium, Mich., his parents' home, were to be made lute today. All Hags in South Bend, Including the flag that floats over the St. Joseph County Courthouse, were at half mast today In honor of Glpp.

All Pay Tribute , in the Final Analysis , to Old King Coal Profiteering in Mine Product Declared National Disgrace by Senate Committee ,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Profiteering in coal has been largely responsible for the serious building and housing shortage from which the American people are suffering, it was stated In a preliminary report of the Senate Committee on Reconstruction and Production, submitted to the Senate today by Senator Calder, Republican, of New York, Its chairman. •‘Coal profiteering has continued unchecked by the Department of Justice and is a national disgrace," the report said. “Coal speculation has been permitted to monopolize the transportation facilities of the country, retarding necessary construction, and increasing the basic cost of manufacture and distribution of commodities in general. It has bled the home owners, public utilities and Industries.” “The housing situation is a menace to the nation," said Senator Kenyon, Republican, of lowa, a member of the committee. "The operators who apparently Control the output of coal, might as well understand that If there Is power under the Constitution, as we believe there Is. Congress will find a way to exercise that power to prevent the continued plundering of the American people. "If profiteering In coal is to go on, 1 for one, harsh as the remedy may be, shall favor taking over the mines." “There is little question that legislation will be required to straighten out the fuel situation, especially ns it affects the average home and the people as a whole,” Senator Edge, Republican, of New Jersey, another member of the committee, said. "I am convinced the coal industry cannot bring order out of the prevailing chaos."

BeYbung for Y our Years You were taught at school that your body undergoes a complete change of structure every Beven years. This tearing down and building up process of body tissue continues without a moment’s pause throughout life. And when a man gets into a physical condition that the tissues keep breaking down and wasting away faster than Nature can replace them, right then he begins to grow “old”. This doesn't necessarily mean, however, that he has reached an advanced age. Thousands upon thousands of people begin to break down, their vital organs giving evidence of fast approaching decay, long before they reach middle age simply because they fail to give Nature, at the proper time, the needed help to rebuild. If you are beginning to show the slightest sign of a physical “let-down”—if you are losing your old time “pep” vim ana vigor—if high tension energy and nervous strain are beginning to tell on you—it’s a sure sign that you are growing “old” • vtoooldforyouryears. You’ve rtWched that stage where your v#al forces need rebuilding. £%’t make the serious mistake

BE PREPARED FOR WAR, SAYS KAHN Californian Tells x°f Bitter Spirit in Chicago Speech. CHICAGO. Dec. 14.—Declaring that the United States will not make war on Japan, but that the only way it can avoid war with Japan “is to be always pre pared for one," Representative Kahn, California member of the House military Affairs Committee, said today lu an interview, that there is in Japan a "constant and bitter agitation against America, growing more bitter all the time.” “Only Sunday,” said Congressman Kahn, “there was a great mass meeting in Japan to protest against American action. You don’t hear of any Japanese mass meetings to protest against the British in Mong Kong or Middle China. “The Japanese are being educated to hate us and if we are caught napping that hatred will result In trouble.” Turning to Japan’s attitude, as expressed in her action during the session of the League of Nations council in Geneva, Representative Kahn said: “Os course it L ridiculous for Japan to fliink she can meet us in navy building, but it shows her disposition toward us. She has been working on her navy program for years, and for what purpose? “When war comes with Japan, if it does come, it will not be of our making, but of her's.’’

DANIELS IDEA MISSES FAVOR 3-Year Building Plan to Be Dodged by Committee. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-The request of Secretary Daniels that Congress authorize another three-year naval building program if the United States does not enter a league of nations will be refused by the house naval affairs committee a canvass of committee members today showed.
