‘DISARM AND PAY UP, ' IS GERMAN WARNING FROM LLOYD GEORGE Premier Declares Challenging of First Conditions of Treaty Means That War Is Only Suspended. * MUST AT LEAST EQUAL ALLIES* TAXES BULLETIN. MUNICH, Feb. s.—The Bavarian premier has left for Berlin to notify the German government that Bavaria has rejected the allied demands. BIRMINGHAM, England, Feb. 5. —Germany must disarm, Premier Lloyd George declared in a speech here today. The Premier asserted vigorously that Germany must respect the peace treaty and agreements. The first condition of peace is that the treaty must be respected, he said. A challenged treaty means merely that the war is held in suspense.

‘•Germany must respect two conditions, the first of which is disarmament.' He added that Germany must abide by the treaty to insure the restoration of "nelghborilness'' among nations. “Germany still has too many armed men and two much war material,” the premier declared. “The allies have decided that Germany must comply with the treaty of Versailles, especially as regards disarmament.” evasion vm.ii BF. IMPOSSIBLE. "Foreign Minister Von Simons has a right to present alternative proposals to the reparations plan, but If they represent a mere attempt at evasion the allies will not tolerate them.” he said. “The burden Imposed upon Germany Is not too extravagant. The payments for the first two years are not equal to the pension bills written in France. It Is not a question of Imposing economic slavery upon the German workers, but—somebody must pay.” The premier declared the whole German people desired the war and no class was particularly guilty. "It will be intolerable if Germany escapes with lighter taxation than the allies,” he added. FRAMED TO SCAJ.E OF GERMAN MEANS. The Premier said the allies reached an indemnity agreement and presented a bill framed to the scale of German prosperity. “I laid down the principle that Germany la bound to pay for the "wanton damage Inflicted,” he said, “but you can only get from a debtor what he is capable of paying. Furthermore. Germany must not be allowed to pay in a way to do injury to the country receiving payment: for example, by exporting cheap goods.” GERMAN CABINET WEIGHS DEMAND BERLIN, Feb. s.—The German Cabinet today began consideration of the question of continuing to participate In conferences with the allies. Th* French ambassador formally invited Germany to send delegates to'tbe conference in London, but Foreign Minister Simons reserved his reply, pending the Cabinet's decision.

NO ‘LID TILTING’ IS PREDICTION Dry Regime Anticipated Under Administration of Harding. FT. TIERCE, Fla., Feb. 5—A dry regime under the Harding administration ■was predicted today by those close to the President-elect. All agreed there would be no tilting of tho lid so long as the Volstead act remains unchanged and some believed be might even inist upon a more rigid enforcement of the law than prevails now. Harding’s position, according to bis friends, is that law must be enforced. Commissioner Kramer, in charge of prohibition enforcement, is expected to resign shortly after the Harding admin Istraiton comes into power. Nothing regarding his successor has come from the President-elect and it is likely that Harding will consult the preferences of his Secretary of Treasury, under whose department the prohibition enforcement office works. Wayne B. Wheeler of Ohio, who was Influential in securing passage of the Volstead act, is mentioned as an a: pirant for the post of chief prohibition enforcement officer, bat Harding's closest friends were in doubt regarding his chances. Anti-Saloon League members have urged Wheeler’s appointment. President-elect Harding is reported to be deeply conscious of the importance of the importance of the relations between Japan and the United States which his administration will be called upon to settle and is extreme anxious to select an ambassador to the court of the Mikado, in whose ability and discretion he has absolute confidence. Several recommendations are known to have been made to him, but there is a suspicion among some of tho men in close touch with his deliberations that the men recommended were pressed for the Tokio post by their indorser in the hope of eliminating them as Cabinet possibilities.

Men Denounce ‘We Don’t Give a Damn’ Girls War of Pitiless Publicity Waged on Cheek-to-Cheek Dancers. PROVIDENCE. R. 1., Feb. 6.—War to the knife on the “don't-give-a-dainn-so-ciety-gir s”—those who come to dances In short socks and knee dresses, whose garters show when they whirl around in the evolutions of the Camel Walk, who allow their partners to dance with cheek resting on cheek and who drink for the sake of devilishness—is to lie continued by Brown University students by the pitiless publicity route. And war Is to continue on those mothers who allow their daughters to “popularise indecency,” not bad girls, but girls who do brazen things because "everybody's doin' it.” “The time has come for the men to act, since the girls and mothers won't," said William W. Hail, editor-in-chief of the Brown Daily Herald. "We fellows don't claim to ring any bells for extra virtue. We Just hope we are half decent citizens, that's ail.” “We are tired of 'hot air parties.'” said E. Alden Minard, managing editor of the publication. “After you have ‘toddled* with a glrf there's no more mystery about her for you." “It has been said," broke in Greene Brown, associate editor, "that when women are this and that they are because they have pleased some man by being so. Now we're going to try to show these girls that they don't please us by rubbing all the bloom off the peach." Mrs. Harry Fulton, president of the Parent-Teacher Association Is cooperating. The association already has prevailed upon President Faunce of Brow-o to end dances at midnight. FEAR 53 LOST IN VESSEL JAM Steam Schooner With 230 Aboard Goes Ashore.

President Wilson Vetoes Army Reduction to 175,000 Because of World Unrest

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.—President Wilson today vetoed a resolution passed by Congress, reducing the strength of the army to 175,000 men. “I regret thut I am not able to see in the condition of the world at large* or In the needs of the United State* any such change as would Justify the restriction upon that minimum which Is proposed by the House Joint resolution," the President declared In his veto message. A proper army organization cannot be maintained with the number of men provided in the resolution, the President said. In his message the President said, in part: “Because of the profoundly disturbed conditions of the world and in order that full benefits might accrue to the people of the United States from the lessons of the World War, as to what under modern conditions is required to be the nucleus of an efficient army, the War Department has recommended an army of approximately 500,000. Congress, after prolonged consideration, determined to authorize, and did authorize, the reorganization of the army on the basis of an enlisted strength of approximately 280,000, including in the organization new arms like the air service and chemical warfare service, the use of which were development of the war and provision for which is a necessary addition to the prewar strength of the army.” “The act authorized for the first time in our hbtory a practical organization of the army, resting upon dlvi-ions as practical units, and required the training of the National Guard and the organized reserve In territorial areas of the United States in association with the divisions of the regular Army.

DECLARES 8,000 VETS HAVE NO HOPE IN FIRE Health Service Official Says Men Face Death in Hospital Coops. ONLY TWO MEET NEEDS WASHINGTON, Feb. s—Approximately 8,000 American soldiers who were wounded or who contracted disease during the world war are cooped up in various institutions throughout the United States, where they would never have an opportunity to escape with their lives if a conflagration should occur, according to a statement made today by Ewing Laporte, assistant Secretary of the Treasury, who, as supervisor of the Public Health Service, has charge of the treatment of disabled veteran?? Hospital facilities of tile public health service were tiNed to the limit before the war, Laporte said, and since the return of American troops from abroad they have proved entirely inadequate. It has been almost, impossible, he declared, to provide proper medlemni treatment for all the patients who have been thrust upon the service. ONLY TWO HOSPITALS MEET REQUIREMENTS. “The public health service," said Laporte, “has only two hospitals which are modern in their equipment and afford ample facilities for treatment of soldiers. One is located at Johnson City, Tenn., where one thousand tubercular patient* are being treated. The other is at Marlon. Ind., where one thousand insane veterans are being cared for.” More than ISO.DOO American soldiers have been treated by the service since the close of hostilities. Laporte said. "While they have been quartered In some sixty-four so-called hospitals scat terod throughout the country,” he continued. “the vast majority of these in stitutions are nothing but fl'etrnps remodeled hotels and abandoned barracks. “At the present time the service is rendering aid to some 21,000 diseased and maimed veterans, and this number is being Increased by at least 1,000 per month. If you have never tried the experiment you may not know that it is a very difficult problem to maintain 1,000 beds under a single roof, but that is what the public health service is being called on to do at present.” NO ACTION YET BY CONGRESS. So far no definite action for relief has been taken by Congress, although there has been considerable discussion and criticism. The sundry civil appropriation bill reported to the Senate carries an appropriation of $17,500,000 for the care of discontinued on Page Nine.)

Orbison. the prohibition commissioner who evolved the novel “Dear Jt. ry” letters for the purposo of dispensing confiscated whisky among his friends in Indianapolis. Ever since the Times exposed the fact that hundreds of quarts of liquor had been given away by Mr. Orbison in direct violation of the Federal and State laws, Mr. Orbison and his friends have been busily engaged in circulating false propaganda designed to show the “unreliability” of this newspaper and to defend him in his indefensible betrayal of his trust. In the course of this campaign for the protection of Mr. Orbison both the Indianapolis Star and the Indianapolis News have sought to create the Impression that Mr. Kramer or Mr. Kramor’s aides had Investigated the allegations made by the Times and had found them to be false or inconsequential. The only charges that have been made to date against Mr. Orbison have been made wholly through the columns of this newspaper and when the News sought to quote Mr. Kramer as saying that “the malice in the attacks on Orbison was too obvious for him to take cognizance of them” it sought to tell the people of Indianapolis that Mr. Kramer had Investigated the allegations made In this newspaper and had found them too malicious to merit attention. Mr. Kramer makes It apparent in his telegram that this effort to malign the Times was manufactured out of whole cloth. The Indianapolis News stands convicted of hating procured and published as a “special” from Washington, a wholly false and malicious statement in an effort to curry public favor for Mr. Orbison and discredit the only newspaper In Indianapolis that dared print the truth about him. For the benefit of others who may have been or may bo deceived by the propaganda which is being circulated in this city, the Times desires to say that, it has not yet filed any charges against Mr. Orbison either with the officials at Washington or with the courts in Indiana. Mr. Orbison has publicly admitted that he is guilty of violating the liquor laws and he attempts to justify his violations on the grounds that they were “acts of humanity.” This community has too* much good sense to regard the illegal dispensation by Mr. Orbison of whisky “for use in this office,” “for use in Investigation” and “for sterilizing instruments” as acts for "humanity's sake.” The United States District Court for Indiana is not susceptible of influence such as is sought to be exerted through statements falsely attributed to Mr. Kramer. In due time, possibly not before Mr. Orbison Is ousted by the Incoming administration, the Federal grand Jury will investigate the “Dear Jerry” letters and In all probabilities Mr. Orbison will have an opportunity to tell the judge all about it. In this connection it might not be Amiss to call the nttention of those persons who received liquor through the "Dear Jerry" letters (some of them at Mr. Orbii-on's solicitation), that in his anxiety to please the ludinna prohibition director caused them, also, to violate the law, which says: "After the second day of April, 1918. it shall he unlawful for any person in this State to receive DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY intoxicating liquors from a common carrier OR OTHER CARRIER, or for any person in this State to possess intoxicating liquors, received directly or indirectly from a common or other carrier in the State except that such liquors have been received from such common carrier by a person bolding a permit to’ receive Intoxicating liquors, excepting also to clergymen using wine for sacramental purposes as provided for la this act." r

HOUSE BILL TO OUST SERVICE BODY IS KILLED Cry of Unfair Tactics Heard in Move to Strike Out Enacting Clause. VOTE STANDS 50 to 35 The scene of legislative interest has been transferred to the House of Representatives, after the Senate has held the center of the stage since the convening of the session. Events yesterday in the House turned the attention of the public that way and indications are that it will monopolize interest for some time to come. One of the bills considered of first Importance, that providing for the abolishment of the public service commission, was killed yesterday afternoon in the House. The House voted 50 to 35 to strike out the enacting clause. There was some question as to whether a constitutional majority of 51 were not necessary to kill the bill, but Speaker John F. McClure today declared the bill was killed and that It had not been sent to engrossment. The House also will become the scene of th# second attempt to kljl the primary law because of repeal bill introduced yesterday by Representative Herbert G. Willis of Dekalb County. The fight In the House promises to become as intense as it did in the Senate over the Beardsley repeal measure which was defeated. The motion to strike out the enacting clause in the anti-public service commission bill was made by Representative Chester A. Davis of Jay County, who (Continued on Page Nine.)

Besesi Booze Shy 11 Cases Possible Explanation of Delay in Commitment A plausible explanation of the long delay that marked the commitment of Mike Besesi to the county jail to serve a sentence for operating a blind tiger was brought to light yesterday when it was disclosed that there was a shortage of the whisky, the possession of which resulted in Besesi’s arrest.

There are thirty-six cases of whisky in the possession of Sheriff George Snider, hold under the name of Besesi, at present. In the records of the city court is the testimony of Ralph Dean and Claude Worley, police officers, that a total of forty-seven cases of whisky was seized by the police and delivered Into headquarters as the property of Mike Besesi. Besesi himself declares that when the shipment of liquor left Cincinnati, where it was bought prior to the enactment of the prohibition amendment, it consisted of sixtyseven cases of whisky. Besesi is the prohibition law violator who escaped imprisonment after having been sentenced by asking an appeal which he did not perfect in the time allotted. For approximately two yenrs the judgment against him was forgotten and only recently Prosecutor William P. Evans caused the Judge of the Criminal Court to take action in the case. The Besesi whisky was first taken into the custody of the Indianapolis police by Schubert, Reldenbacker, Dean and Worley. Later, Sheriff Robert Miller receipted for thirtysix cases of it and tho thirty-six cases were turned over to Sheriff Snyder when he went into office. Iu the meanwhile Besesi was found guilty in the cltjr court and la the Criminal Court.

DIRECTS QUIZ ON TAMPERING IN HOTEL CASE Judge Threatens Defendant in Federal Resort Hearing With Contempt. PLEA FOR INJUNCTION A sensation was sprung today in the hearing of a petition for the granting of a temporary injustion against Frank Fauvre, Blanche Nysewander and others to prevent the Federal Hotel, 206 Va North Meridian street, from being operated as an immoral resort, when Judge Solon J. Carter of Superior Court, Room 3, ordered Prosecutor William P. Evans to prepare papers citing Monroe D. George, one of the defendants, for indirect contempt of court. The court was Informed that George "approached” Mrs. W. G. Wanser, who formerly had offices in the Marion Block, which Is owned by the Fauvree, and made certain remarks regarding the evidence which she gave In the case for the St.itc. She had testified that George had claimed the reason the authorities were against tho Federal Hotel was "politics.” Mrs. Wagner, who manufactures toilet articles, was called back to the stand and questioned regarding her reported conversation with George after she left the witness stand. JAIL YAWNING FOR SUCH MEN. "Jail is Just yawning for men who do not have any more Judgment than to bring Influences on witnesses or cause them to qualify evidence,” said Judge Carter. “I do not know if Mr. George is In contempt of court or not, hut 1 am going to give him a chance to explain It.” Judge Carter then ordered the prosecutor to prepare the papers citing George for Indirect contempt. Prosecutor Evans several weeks ago began proceedings against Frank Fauvre and Lillian Fauvre, owners of the Federal Hotel building: Monroe D. George, agent for the Fauvrcs; Blanche Nysewander, alias Blanche Hall, and John Nysevander, asking a temporary retrainhi* order to prevent operation of the hotel us an Immoral resort. Judge Carter granted the temporary restraining order and the case came up this morning for hearing on the application for a permanent Injunction. Many witnesses were introduced by the State to show the hotel had a bad reputation. TELLS OF SERVING RESTRAINING ORDER. Deputy Sheriff Edward Kuhns testified that when he went to the hotel to serve the restraining order he was accompanied by Sheriff George Snider. According to Kuhns, the sheriff stayed at the bottom of the stairs and Kuhns knocked on the door. He testified that Blanche Nyswander opened the door. He asked if she was Mrs. Nysewander and slie acknowledged she was. The deputy asked if Mr. Nysewander was (Continued on Page Two.)

Under the prohibition lew one or the other of these courts should have issued an order for the destruction of the whisky. Neither has issued such an order to date and the thirty-six cases of liquor are now In the possession of the sheriff, who has bo authority either for destruction or preservation of it. What became of the rest of the whisky which Dean and Worley testified had been seized by the police is another chapter In the mystery of what becomes of confiscated whisky. Legally speaking, the whole of the forty-seven cases Is still lu the custody of the chief of police. In reality none of it Is In the custody of the chief of police and ouly thirty-six cases of it can be accounted for by any official. This shortage In seized whisky is another of the shortages that can be traced back to the administration of George V. Coffin as chief of police. The theory that the Judgment against Besesl was never executed be cause it would have involved an order to destroy the whisky seized and would therein have disclosed the shortage between the amount seized and the amount on hand is advanced as a possible reason why Besesl ytrees allowed his liberty for two jfcars after have bee a eammittod.
