PENSION LAW HELD UNSOUND Examiners of Accounts Board Say Teachers’ Fund on Wrong Basis. The basic principle* of the Indiana teachers pension law are unsound and cannot successfully be continued for any length of time, according to the opinion of George Pence and I. D. Wiest, field examiners of the State board of accounts, expressed In a report of their examination of the teachers' retirement fund board, filed today. “From our experience as accountants we must say that the basic principles and the provisions of the teachers’ pension law. as now on the statute books, is unsound and cannot pay out,” the report states. “The comparison of the teachers’ fund Nov. 30, 1019, with Jan. 31, 1921, shows a depreciation of $58,967.07 for the fourteen months." The financial statement of the fund shows receipts of $444 307.22 for the period from Dec. 1. 1919, to Jan. 31, 11121, and disbursements of $173,382.71. The balance Dec. 1, 1919. was $203,282.13, while the balance Jan. 31, 1921, was $268,382.71, showing a difference of more than $25 000. The report shows a total membership of 2,807 and a total of 20C retired teachers drawing pensions. There Is now ready for the signature of the Governor anew teachers' pension bill which Is expected to remedy the defects of the old law which have long been recognized. The bill Is said by Its friends to put the fund on a sound and workable basis. The present law was passed by the 1915 session of the Legislature. \ Negro Held Faces Charge of Robbery David Kidd, 17, negro, Crothersville.

HARDING TAKES NEW POST WITH WILSON ABSENT (Continued From Pag. Ona.) President and Mrs. Wilson ready for the ride to the capltol. Mrs. Harding wore a dress of navy blue Canton crepe trimmed with steel beads. The President-elect arrived at the White House at 10:26 and after being photographed, entered the White House to meet President Wilson. President Wil9on, President-elect Harding and Mrs. Harding and Mrs. Wilson left the White House at 10:56 for the Capitol. CHEERED ON RIDE ALONG AVENI’E. Crowds lined Pennsylvania avenue and gave a cheer as the motors swung Into the city. For some, the broken, retiring President was the cynosure of eyes; for others it was the new President who held their interest. President Wilson walked • from the White House unaided, but as he reached the steps leading to the motor car he stopped for a brief instant and turned about, looking into the house. Secret Service men aided the President, lifting his foot to the running board of the car. Seated in the car, the outgoing President turned and lifted his hat to the little group of White House attaches who were gathered there. President-elect Hardtng then stepped into the car and the procession left for the Capitol. From an upper window of the White House Miss Margaret Wilson watched her father drive away and waved to him as the car left the White House grounds. As the procession proceeded Dr. Harding, father of the President-elect, fell Into the line, riding in a car with several companions. Soldiers on guard recognized him and came to a Btrict attention and then saluted. WILSON DECLINES ROLLING CHAIR. The presidential party reached the Capitol at 11:15 a. m., preceded by three

troops of cavalry, moving at a brisk trot. The streets around the Capitol were comfortably filled. The cavalrymen rode with drawn sabres and their standards streamed in the stiff breeze. A rolling chair had been provided for the President at the Capitol entrance, but he declined It and, aided only by his cane, made his way to the President's room. The Senate galleries and floor were packed before the hour of adjournment came. The diplomatic gallery was filled, many of those present wearing their resplendent regalia of state occasions. SENATE CLOCK TURNED BACK. As the hour hand approached noon, the Senate clock was turned back fifteen minutes and then agalu ten mluutes, making twenty-five altogether. Charles Evans Hughes, the new Secretary of State, entered the chambir and took a seat on the floor. He was soon Joined by Herbert Hoover, the new Secretary of Commerce. Mrs. Harding entered the chamber at 11:35 and took a seat in the membership gallery. She sat in the front row, attired in black and wearing a large blue hat trimmed with feathers. There was a hum of conversation as the new first lady came In and took her seat. Lorgnettes were leveled at her from all over the galleries. There were two women on the floor of the Senate chamber—Mrs. Thomas D. Scholl, wife of the blind Congressman from Minnesota, and Miss Alice Robertson, the new Congresswoman from Oklahoma. The spectacle of women on the Senate floor was sufficiently unusual to mnke they the cynosure of many eyes in the galleries. President-elect nardlng entered the Senate chamber at 12:18. He was greeted with a roifnd of tumultuous applause from the floor and galleries. APPLAUSE FOR "SILENT CAL.” Vice President Coolidge was sworn In at 12:20, the oath being administered by Vice President Marshall, who immediately afterward began his speech.

became the Vice President of the United States. When Marshall had finished he turned and bowed to his successor and the new Vice President faced the crowded floor and delivered his short, terse speech In a clear voice. When It had ended, Vice President Marshall banged hia gavel and officially closed the Sixty-sixth Congress. The new Senate was sworn in and convened following the delivery of VicePresident Coolidge's and Mr. Marshall's addresses. GREAT CROWD AROUND STAND. When Harding reached the Inaugural stand there was a vast crowd which extended as far as the eye could reach. Bunches of roses banked ' the small inaugural stand. Immediately under the stand, bearing standards, stood a small group of marines and doughboys. Some of the old-time splendor of an inaugural was provided by a band, Resplendent In brilliant scarlet uniforms, which played patriotic airs. The great crowd waiting patiently for Harding to emerge from the Capitol, stood around stamping its feet, seeking to ward off the chill of the nippy March day. Occupying points of vantage In front and a little to'the left of the Inaugural stand, were a score of blinded and wounded veterans of the World War, their crutches and artificial Umbß adding a sad note to the restless good humor of the great throng. Another note of sadness was given by the flags on all buildings at half staff. This was a mark of respect for the late Champ Clark. From the Senate chamber the Presidentelect returned to the President's room end then awaited to be preceded outside by members of the House ami Seuate. During Intervals he chatted with friends.

At 1:15 the President-elect reached the stand amid a blare of music and a scattered clapping of hands from the crowd. Mrs. Hauling nnd Mrs. Coolidge took up positions at Mr. Harding's right and bowed to the applause that greeted their appearance. Mrs. Harding chatted amiably with friends. A minute after Harding’s arrival Chief Justice Edward Douglas White come slowly down the aisle and stood _by the rati. On Harding’s immediate left stood Will H. Hays, the new Postmaster General. President Harding took the oath of office at 1:17. Inauguration day—the day on which Ohio sent the seventh of her sons Into the White House—dawned clear and cold. The temperature was not far from freezing and there was a stiff breeze whipping the flags that decorated Pennsylvania averue and the Government buildings. It was typical “Harding weather” In the lack of rain or other disagreeable features. There was something coldly and distinctly business-like about the Inaugural ceremonies. Gone were the pomp and panoply and display of other yeara. Today’s events began to march with swift efficiency shortly after 10 o’clock, when half a dozen automobiles drew smartly up before the Willard Hotel. They formed the entire parade es the Harding Inauguration. V)n!y the first four ears were really In It, the others being occupied by secret service men nnd reporters. Here all the members ot the Inaugural party were picked up, with the exception of President and Mrs. Wilson. From the hotel the automobile proceeded the few blocks to the White House and drew up before the great veranda that fronts the building. From the door emerged for the last time Woodrow Wil-

son—bent, broken In health, leaning on a cane, his face furrowed and lined and his hair silv red from Ills eight tumultuous years as chief executive. Curious crowds stood outside the barred fence to view the final passing of Woodrow Wilson from the great while mansion.

PUTS ONE THOUSAND IN A SAVINGS BANK

MRS. B. H. STALLARD. A thousand dollars drawing Interest In a savings bank Is a mighty handsome “nest egg" for anybody to have. A “rainy day" fund always makes one Independent and gives a feeling of security. When people say they would not take one thousand dollars for the good that Pepgen has done them, it means more to them than a savings account. Scores of people who live right here in Indianapolis have recently said that they would not take any money for the health that Pepgen has restored to them. Pepgen Is composed of different kinds of roots and barks well recognized for their tonic, laxative and appetizing properties. Dizzy spells, sick headaches, sleeplessness, nervousness, tired feeling, under weight and other ailments are frequently due to feeble or slow digestion or to habitual cc-- > ‘ < jpation. When such is the case, 1 /gen seldom fails to relieve.

Louis Phillips, R. R. C, Box 468; Robert Wilkens, It. U. C, Box 379; Marshall Dodson, 1901 Lambert street, and Coy Ilieks, 1637 Cappes street. In city cort today were fined $1 ajid costs each and sentenced to serve four days In Jail for stealing coal. They were arrested by Railroad Detectives Slaughter and Hunt last night at the Caven yards near the Union stockyards.

Many testimonials have been published in the newspapers given bypeople who live here. Elsewhere about the country they are Just as enthusiastic about Pepgen. It will therefore be Interesting to note what people In other cities are saying. In Louisville, Ky., thousands of residents have given testimonials. An example of what they are saying at that pofnt is revealed in the ment of Mrs. B. H. Stallard, who resides at 2310 W. Jefferson street, that city. Mrs. Stallard”says: "I did not dream that I would ever get anything that would do me as much good as Pepgen has done. “I had indigestion for two yean. Gas formed in my stomach after eafc ing. I was subject to bloating. Bananas, beans and turnips are a fedi of the things I did not dare to eat b 9 cause of the misery they caused mfl “I was terribly nervous and so less I could sleep only a few hours at a time. Frequently I would hav such a depressed feeling that I -would sit down and cry. I was in such a run down condition. I have tried many different medicines which have failed to help me. "Pepgen proved the remedy I had been seeking. It relieved my indir gestlon and I now eat bananas, beans or anything I want, and they do not hurt me a bit. My appetite has Increased. I have gained In weight. I feel stronger and healthier than I have for years. lam no longer nervous and I sleep soundly.” Those who _ ====a^ wish to try Pep- l f)£PGE\i gen may obtain Gl 1 \ —~•_ 1^ It from Hud/er’s J' 3 ’] |j jqNIC | drug stores, ........-vl _ Washington and /sfcffi-jjai, AnttlgK j t Pennsylvania IhvkSwH streets, Illinois I tonicil i —--•xt and Michigan - I -ii- || LAXATIVt streets, or from I teras[l -r-j any other leading j drug store any- f| j where.
