Debreau, charging him with assault and battery on Dr. Elta B. Selsara. The arrest was made by Detectives Stone and Everson. The arrest is the outgrowth of an alleged attack said to have been made by Roberts in Dr. Selsain’s home. No. 118 The Canterbury. Central avenue and Sixteenth street, Friday night by three men. Roberts says he is a private detective employed by the O’Neil Secret Service, 229 North Pennsylvania street, and that he followed Dr. Debreau last Friday night to obtain evidence to be used in a divorce proceedings pending against Debreau. He said that he trailed the doctor to the apartment In the Canterbury and then. In company with the manager and assistant manager of the O'Nell Secret Service, knocked on the door and entered the room when Dr. Selsam opened It. Roberts denied that he attempted to rob any person or that any one was attacked in the room. Ralph Spaan. attorney for Dr. Debreau. in discussing the case said: “Both Dr. Selsam and Dr. Debreau are members of the faculty of a local college. Friday night they went to a theater on Pennsylvania street and then went to the apartments in the Canterbury to look over examination papers when this thing occurred.” Mr. Spaan said that Dr. Debreau covered the men with a revolver when they entered. “There is a divorce proceeding pending against Dr. Debreau.” added Mr. Spaan. “Dr. Debreau has provided nraplv for his wife and children who reside In another city. However, he cannot get along with bis wife and she has sued him for divorce. There has been nothing wrong with the life of Dr. Debreau and the attack is part of a plan to damage his reputation. Not until after the arrest today did we know that Roberts or the men with him Friday night were private detectives.”

COURT (Continued From Page One.) sending bogus orders to a nursery concern in Newark. N. Y.. and collecting about $37 in commissions on the “sales.” Robert Jones, 24, Norton, Va., was sentenced to serve one year and one day at Atlanta for violation of tlie Mann white slave act. White Thomas, 17. of Tennessee, was allowed to go free. Both yoang men were coal miners in Virginia and brought two girls on an automobile trip from that State to Bloomington, Ind., where they were arrested. Jones is married and bas three children. His father was In cou;|| and $283.79, the proceeds of the automobile in which the trip was made, was paid over to him for the support of Jones’ wife and children. •‘We are conducting quite a bank here," Judge Anderson said, “and we don’t belong to the Federal Reserve System, either.” Charles N Oaleener. South Bend, was given a sentence of ninety days lu Jail for stealing about $4 from special delivery letters at South Bend, where he was em ployed as special delivery messenger. Seldom in tne history of the local Federal Court has an attorney been subjected to the severe grilling and scathing remarks to which Mr. Ruggles was subjected yesterday. The wrath of Judge Anderson was aroused when he was told that Ruggles, who has never been admitted to practice In Federal Court here, had taken $35 from Thomas Jefferson, father of Walter Jefferson, and had promised the father that his son would be out of Jail within two days. The case was reported by Jefferson to Capt. Thomas E. Halls, chief of the United States Secret Service Bureau here, some time ago. and ('apt. Halls took the matter up with the secret I service in Louisville, where Ruggles prae- | ticed before coming to Indianapolis. PLEA CHANGED BY CLIENT. I When Jefferson's case was reached on the roll call Monday, he entered a pla of not guilty, but changed it yesterday to a plea of guilty. At Judge Anderson’s direction, Ruggles was brought into court by C. E. Whicker, deputy United States marshal. “You have never been admitted to practice In this court.” Judge Anderson said. “What right had you to take $35 from this old man for defending his son ?" Ruggles protested that he had acted in good faith and that, having been admitted to practice in the local State courts, he thought it was unnecessary to be admitted to the Federal Court. He admitted he also represented ’ two defendants from Muncle and that he had been paid S2OO by them. “I want you to lay this money, every dollar of it. every cent you have taken from defendants In this court, on this desk right now,” Judge Anderson thundered. Ruggles asked to be heard and made a statement that he had practiced law for twenty-four years and had a list of recommendations from lending lawyers of the Kentucky bar that he could present to the court. FORMER PARTNER OP l . S. SENATOR. Judge Anderson then read aloud a letter received by Captain Halls from a secret service operative at Louisville. Ir. this letter it was stated that Ruggles formerly was a partner of Senator A. O. Stanley of Kentucky and that the firm practiced years ago at Heudersou, Ky. but the letter then went on to call Ituggles a "shyster, Itinerant lawyer,” “a petty larceny operator” and ”a better disciple of Barleycorn than of Blackstone.” It further stated that ho left Louisville owing office rent. Knggles denied the statements made in the letter and Judge Anderson brought the matter to a close by giving him until 9:30 o'clock today to produce the $235. Jefferson's case then was passed until a later date. Not since the day two years ago when Alvab J. Rucker, then Republican prosecuting attorney, stood weak-kneed before Judge Anderson, where he bad been summoned to explain the taking of Robert Sloan, former saloon keeper and a Federal prisoner, from Jail to be given what Judge Anderson termed a “phony sentence” by Judge James A. Collins in Criminal Court, has a lawyer spent such an unpleasant half hour. With the. exception of a few cases tnken under advisement Judge Anderson completed the work of sentencing defendants w ho entered pleas of guilty Monday and who are not connected with cases in which other defendants have entered pleas of not guilty. The case of John R. Harris, former postmaster of Newtown, charged with forgery of postal money orders and a shortage of S7O, was continued until May 3 and he was released under bond of $2,500. A crime without any apparent motive j was too much for the court to solve offhand in the case of J. 'Winfield Nleholson. 18, charged with impersonating a Government officer, and it was continued for investigation. Nicholson went to Crawfordsville some time ago, represented himself as a Navy recruiting officer, rented a room, put advertisements for recruits in the Crawfordsville papers aud was doing a lively business when arrested. He made no money out of the transaction and told the court he was doing it “to help out the Navy” and to ! help Indiana make a good showing in • Navy recruiting. Fie said his work hail been undertaken with the consent of local Navy recruiting men, but this was denied. A number of admitted “dope peddlers” were sentenced for violation of the Harrison narcotic law Doremus Wells, 50, an old offender, received two years at Atlanta after he told the court’of a long list of pris in s -meices he had served. George Franklin and Herman Shapiro, both of Louisville, received the same senj tence. Edward Valentine, negro, Carbondaie. i 111., who claimed he svas an architect and j draftsman, admitted the theft of a mail i pouch from a depot truck at Kokomo. He received a two-year sentence.

Asks State Authority in Intrastate Rates A resolution urging an amendment to the transportation act that would reserve to State commissions the right to regulate purely intrastate rates was adopted at a meeting of the freight and traffic bureau of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce yesterday, A copy of the resolution is to be sent to President Harding and the two Indiana Senators. Another resolution adopted, a copy of which will be sent to the interstate commerce commission, requested that the time for filing claims accruing under control of tbe railroads, be cxtenafi for a period of one year from of thi* year.

GEORGE M. GRAHAM. of the greatest stress did you ever henr any business man talk about tearing down the Institutions of our country? Os course you didn't. We leave that to the unthinking radicals. “American business must sell the institutions of this country, not only to the inhabitants of this country, but to the rest of the world, and the sale ought to be made for our future and permanent good. It ought to be made solely on the basis of proved efficiency. “Perhaps you read, as I did, the re port of the Secretary of the Treasury In his last report the Secretary said that only 5 per cent of all the Liberty bonds sold by the United States Gov eminent are held In this country by banks as collateral. The rest have been bought, paid for, absorbed and put away Let this thought go through your minds. That means that we have purchased as i> vestments In three years $'22,000,000 worth of securities. It also la pointed out that the United States has redeemed <1 brought back from foreign countries in the same period $6,000,000 worth mure of American securities formerly held abroad. In spite of our admitted extravagance, we have succeeded in saving, in the three years, a sum as huge as S2B. 000,000 That would certainly indicate that the fundamentals are right. KKSOt RUES OF COUNTRY LARGE. “Just look over a few more figures rapidly. With 5 per cent of the world's population, we produce or control 24 per cent of ail its agricultural products: half of the world's gold is ours; a third of Its copper is ours; half of Its petroleum; h If if Its pig lr.ui products; half of Its manufactured steel; a third of its dairy products and livestock; a third of its shoes and linens. “These are impressive figures because they are figures upon w hich we must base our hope of future business. "Within thirteen years. In the interval between 1807 aud 1820 came two great transportation inventions Fulton launched the Claremont on the Hudson along in the first decade of the last century. In 1821 Stephenson produced the first locomotive. , “It has taken one century to produce a vehicle of transportation to rank with those two great advances. Think, further, that no discovery, no invention, means as much In Us potentials to humankind as the creation of new transportation facilities and think beyond that, that we are the inceptors and proprietors of this new kind of transportation, and you can see. v.e have advantages distinctive to ourselves. “Yet we fret. I will say that It has been a great time for those who love adversity. If you would listen to them you might think we were at the lowest 1 ebb. But our troubles are only tempo- | rnry. “If you were trying to put a finger on the major portion of the troubles I would ! say that we overexpanded. We figured j that tiie. abnormal would continue to be ! the normal, and that the peak would i always he with us. Too much money i went back into tlie plant, machinery and equipment. That would have been all right if the remainder of our earnings could have been with us for a reserve, a thrift measure. But, don’t forget that | for the last three years we have been working with a silent partner—the United States Revenue Department. “This silent partner takes the cash and leaves the accounts receivable and the Inventory for the manuf,\eturer. if we had had those funds we would have needed less credit. We would have been in better nos tlon to support our dealers. BELIEVER in OPTIMISM. "I believe in the optimism that has spurred us on. We have never lost through our fights. We went through stormy war years and came out strouger than ever. “We look at the banker as a dread person whose chief aim in life Is to say ’No’ as viciously as lie can. Why. gentlemen. lie is n merchant in money. He wishes your business. We are to blame for many denials of credit. We harm our relations with the banker by our own bad practices. If we wish his good will and his respect we must do business on sound business lines. “Another thing—we must stop scandalmongering.

Robber Robbed MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 9 When F. L. Wilson, shoe clerk, waited on a prospective customer this morning he was handed a note, which read: If you have good souse you will hand me the paper money you have in the till. Don’t squawk for three minutes. I have a Pa* here watching you. A few moments later the bandit walked out of the store with $62 in paper bills. Wilson followed the bandit out. knocked him senseless and handed him over to a policeman.

In the world offends and as seriously and as momentarily as yourselves. The parts man, the tire man and accessory man are the kings of gossip and scandal mongers. “A salesman is never so happy as when he has a man in the corner telling of the desolation in Detroit- —fifty thousand people walking through the parks, railroad, crowded with the outgo; plants closing. He counts that day not lost when he can tell of the troubles of some company and back of his haud say ’So-and-So is in bad shape, have you heard?’ “It seems to be a mania. It isn’t clubby; it isn’t fair and It Is very damaging to business. I would like to urge the very great Importance of cutting out all that sort of thing. Deny rumors. Tell why you don’t believe them. Tell what the product is. Tell of a company's financial stability, its resources, its re serves and surplus. Wo shall all bene fit by such an attitude. GET OFF OF DEFENSIVE. “1 would like to see you get off of the | defensive. We are selling a utility. If [ you doubt it go out and get auswers to j these questions: “•Docs the doctor wish t° further ■ limit tlie range of his heeling visitations?’ “ 'Docs the executive wish to move slower?’ “’Docs the farmer wish to recede far thcr from the town?' “ ’Docs the family wish to lose the great outdoor*?’ " ’Docs the salesman wish to visit fewer prospects ?’ " ’Dues the suburbanite wish to move bark to the city V “ ‘Doc* the worker wish to go bark to the crowded trolley cars?* “ ’Do wo wish to further block food distribution ?' “ 'Do we wish to get raw materials in a month when we could get It In a few days?’ "If we do, why, let’s crush this business. Let’s tax It out of life. Let's close the plants; but while we are doing that let us at the same time tear out the bathtubs, cut off tlio electric current, smash the telephone, do away with anesthetics—because when that time conies, gentlemen, progress Is dead. “I don't believe you can get an nfflrma five answer to this list of questions. Os course, the world has got to move on and of course the modern Ideas must prevail. Mike Murphy, the great athletic coach, used to say: ‘You can’t lick a football team that won’t tie licked,’ and 1 say to you that you can’t stop an Industry that won’t be stopped." KI \\ \ NIA N M IN CHARGE OF I’EP DEPARTMENT. The Klwanis Club was to take charge of the pep department of the Tweutyseoond Semi-Annual Automobile Show at the State fair grounds today and try to surpass the novelty of stunts which the Optimists Club, the American Club and the Indianapolis Athletic Club put on during the first two days of the show. The business men’s organizations are giving the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association more aid toward making the show a success this year than ever before and at the same time everybody w-ns getting more fun, as well as practical benefits, thuft heretofore. Following last night’s session it was estimated that the total attendance to date has been 15,000. The squally weather seemed to have little effect upon the crowds for the big Manufacturers' build ing in which the show is held Is heated to the pleasant warmth of a spring day, aud motor enthusiasts apparently have decided an evening in the bustling, hap py atmosphere of the motor exposition would he better than hiking around tlie downtown streets or wandering around home wondering what to do for an e\eninga enjoyment. People who have visited all the Mg shows this year say the Indianapolis show is living up to Its past record of eclipsing them all In the matter of decorations, the number of exhibits to the space available, attendance and for the buying Interest being manifested by those who attend.

WARSHIPS REPORTED OFF CUXHAVEN LONDON, March 9.—British war ships arrived off Cuxhaven, Germany, todny, said an Exchange Telegraph dlsputch from Berlin. Cuxhaven lies at the estuary of the Elbe River, on the North Sea. Before the war it was fortified. It is seventy-eight miles northwest of Hamburg and is the seat of the station for Hamburg pilots. Later the British Admiralty issued a formal denial of the report that their men-of-war had arrived at Cuxhaven.

It was decided all funds and equivalents lu the seized customs depots should be credited to the German reparation fund. After the discussion of economic penalties for Germany the allied premiers took up the Turko-Greek dispute In the Near East. “The preiplers have reviewed the meas ure for taxing German exports, have discussed disarmament and the surrender of German war criminals,” said Premier Briand of France after the session.

WORKS BOARD TO DEMAND CAR LINE BUILDING (Continued From Page One.) railway company to act—an order that you’ve never carried out.” After Mr. Lemaux had recovered from the surprise of the flank attack of the Illinois street delegation, be replied: “We must have had the street car company in here on that matter twenty times. Besides, it's not our baby. That’s Joe Bell’s baby. Why didn't you people bop on the Bell administration and make them do something about it, since they put the order on the books? Instead, you slept on your rights and now you come in here riding the Jewett administration.” George Blue, one of the men interested in the Blue Ridge addition, which Is in the district which would be served hy the Illinois extension, told Mr. Lemaux why the Bell administration had not been “hopped' on." He said the order for the extension was put on the board of works’ record just six months before the Bell administration weut out of office, that the street car company actually went to work on the extension and £ot so far as to excavate the space in the center of the streets and then the Jewett administration came in and not another bit of work has been done since, except that the present hoard of works ordered the excavated space filled up with cinders, making the possibility of getting the extension more remote than ever. B. W. Fredenburg, commercial agent for the Illinois Central Railroad Company, who owns property on the affected section of Illinois street ridiculed Mayor Charles W. Jewett for his failure to assist the residents to get what had been promised In the way of better street car service. OUGHT TO BE MADE IF RIGHT AND JUST. “What has Joe Bell’s administration got to do with this board?” he asked. “If It Is right and just that this extension should he made this board ought to help us out regardless of what, any other administration ever did. I have heard it frequently said that, the sophistry of a ;<dty administration and the perfidy of a street car company are responsible for our failure to get the extension.” Mr. Lemaux made his declaration ibout the independence of the board and gave a review of the negotiations for the Illinois line extension. “I found out that the street railway company never Intended to put that extension In, that their promises were only a hluff,” he said. "Did they admit that they never Intended to extend that line?” asked Mr. Fredenburg In a surprised manner. “Don't ask me too pointed questions, because. I inay not be able to answer them,” answered Mr. Lemaux with a smile. He snld that early In the present administration he and Mr. Rllev. although opposed hy Schuyler A. Haas, then pros! dent, voted to modify the original order so ns to provide for a sfngle track ex tension In the belief that the street railway company would push this to completion. He snld the company agreed to this and he thought the matter was all settled and went on a vacation. “When I returned, much to my surprise. I found that the order had been re rinded aud put back a sit was originally.” "Who changed that order?" inquired Mr Fredenburg. “I don't know and I’ve never heen able
