STATEHOUSE IS UNCERTAIN IN ‘OUSTING DRIVE’ Governor Continues Firing and Appointing and Capitol Is in Turmoil. EXPECT ROBINSON 0. K. The State purchasing committee when It meets here Friday Is expected to ratify the apointment of Fred li. Robiugon, one of Governor Warren T. McCray s former campaign managers, as its secretary. The Governor has announced he has appointed Mr. Robinson, although he law provides the secretary of the committee shall be appointed by the committee "upon request and with the con sent of the Governor." Maurice Shelton, who handed his resignation to the committee last Friday, is expected to retire Friday when the committee i3 expected to accept his resignation. The Governor also has announced six other appointments. He continued to carry out his program of eliminating Goodrich employes in announcing that Chester W. Loughry of Montlcello would succeed Frank P. Litschert as secretary of the public service commission after May 1. Mr. Litschert was private secretary to former Governor James P. Goodrich. He was appointed secretary of the commission Just before the latter's ttrm expired. Mr. Loughry is interested lu the milling business. He is a graduate of Indiana University and of the Indiana University law school. The Rev. Louden A. Harriman of Princeton was named a member of the board of State charities to succeed Demarchus Brown. The Rev. Mr. Harriman was formerly assistant pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis. He has been active in National Guard affairs. The failure of the Governor to reappoint Mr. Brown was said at the Statehouse to be a forerunner of an attempt to oust Amos Butler as secretary of the board of State charities. Mr. Brown was a member of the board for more than twenty-seven years, having been appointed in 1593. STATEHOLSE HABIT FES ARE SLEEPLESS. T. F. Fitzgibbon of Muncle was named a member of the board of trustees of the School for Feeble-Minded Youth at Ft. Wayne to succeed W. P. Walsh of Frankfort. D. N. Foster of Ft. Wayne. Finley Nash of Garett and Dr. T. Victor Keeae of Indianapolis were named members of the newly created Lawton monument commission. The commission will have charge of the erection of a monument to Gen. Lawton at Arlington cemetery. State employes and < fflee holders of are still spending sleepSBBRllgfcN and days of worry as aleHrcf the deliberate way Governor WsrT. McOa.v has taken in making many of his appointments. “Have you heard anything from the Governor's office?” Is the question that greets a visitor in nearly every one of the State offices . The Governor began by asking several Goodrich appointees to resign, stating as his reason that he desired to appoint others in their places. The blow fell in some of the most unexpected places and nearly everybody in the Statehouse who was not eppointed by the present administration is spending a large part of his 'time watching the door for the entrance of a messenger bearing a. peat envelope containing a curt note -whfih'-spells disaster.

PrTS DAMPER OX DEPARTMENT'S WORK. Asa result of the Governor's deliberate attitude work is slowing down in some of the departments. The State board of tax commissioners began its work of assessing rublic utilities today with a vacancy in their midst. This vacancy was caused by the resignation of Fred A. Sims, Republican. Although Mr. Sims resigned several weeks ago, the Governor has not appointed his successor. The work of the board Is being done by the other two members, John Brown, Republican, and Philip Zoercher, Democrat. Affairs are even worse In the office of the State highway commission. It has been reported that at least two members of the commission have resigned and that L. H. Wright, director, is to be supplanted by Lawrence Lyons, one of Governor McCray’s former campaign managers. Pending official action, the board has decided to let no contracts. For this reason proposed new work Is at a standstill. despite the fact that It is now late In the season for road contract letting. Affairs In the industrial board are moving slowly, due to the uncertainty of members as to what they will do." It has been reported that the State live stock sanitary commission has been asked to resign, and with it Dr. L. E. Northrup, Stare veterinarian. The term of H. H. Friedley, State Are marshal, has and his successor has not been appointed. BRITAIN’S PLAN TO STAY LABOR WAR REJECTED (Continued From Paw One.) guards and attacked the workers who had refused to walk out. Four policemen and several employe* were Injured. The rioters penetrated the pit of one mine and smashed much machinery. At Shettleston an overseer was killed and a manager seriously injured in a mine explosion, the cause of which is still undetermined, although it is suspected to be due to sabotage. In Levenfifshire. a group of miners led by a bagpiper marched on the mine furnaces and forced the stokers and other workers to abandon their jobs. LOOKED OX AS SHREWD PLAY FOR MORE TIME. The government’s reported proposition is conceded in all quarters to be a shrewd play for time, even the strongest sympathixers with the mine strike believing the miners will And It difficult to reject it without laying themselves open to public disapproval on the ground of stubbornness and defiance. The question whether the two other partners of the triple alliance—rail men and transport workers—will Join the miners in a sympathetic strike was to be decided tomorrow at a conference of alliance delegates without power to authorize a general walkout. It is held probable, however, that if Parliament accepts the premier's foreshadowed proposition action will be postponed, especially inasmuch as J. H. Thomas, head of the rail men and most powerful of the labor leaders in Britain, favors a general wulkout only as a last remedy after all attempts at settlement have broken down.

WASHINGTON, April s.—The United States has addressed a note to Japan on the Yap controversy and the subject of mandates in general which is understood to be much sharper in tone than any of its predecessors, it was learned here today. The new communication is the latest in a series of diplomatic excl nges which has taken place between tli wo governments since the internation.i, cable conference began trying to dispose of the former German cables in the Pacific to which Japan has stubbornly advanced claims under the mandate powers assigned her by the league of nations. Copies of this latest communication have been forwarded to the governments of Great Britain and France as interested parties in the mandate controversy, it was also learned. It is understood that the United States positively declined to admit in tlris communication that this government ever gave its consent to the division of the Islands of the Pacific, north and south of the equator, between Great Britain and Japan. Under the division Japan was to get all the islands north of the equator, while Great Britain secured those south. This I Government has steadfastly declined to | recognize the Justice or validity of this agreement and has emphasized more strongly than ever before in the new communication that the United States can not accept such an agreement.

TOO FAVORABLE TRADE BALANCE DISADVANTAGE U. S. Program Considers Buying and Investment in Foreign Countries. NEW PLAN WORKED OUT WASHINGTON, April 5—A new plan for stabilizing exchange and at the same time building up foreign trade, has been worked out by State Department experts and ts about to be put into operation, it was learned today. A tentative outline of the plan sent to American consular agents all over the world is said to be meeting with an enthusiastic response. The novelty of the new program consists in the fact'that emphasis is laid on buying and investment, rather than on selling in foreign markets. Heretofore, the chief duty of American consuls has been to find markets for American commodities. Manufacturers of particularly every article made in America at one time or another have called on the State Department to ascertain through its consular agents where new markets can lie found for their products. NEW INSTRUCTIONS TO U. S. CONSULS. The new instructions to consuls point out that there is such a thing as a too favorable balance of trade. If exports from the United States to Brazil or Argentina, or any other ‘ country, for example, are consistently much greater than Imports from those countries into the United States, the balance of trade may become so "favorable” that American exchange will go to a premium and the South American countries will find it impossible to buy in American markets. With the dollar at a premium all over the world, this is the situation which the United States finds in many of the markets of the world today. State Department experts say. They point out that trade should be a reciprocal affair, that there are certain commodities which the United States must purchase abroad be- ! cause they are not grown at home and others which probably could be secured abroad more reasonably, even though they are produced to some extent in the United States. It is to this latter class of commodities that the new policy partlcuj larly applies. WAR MAKES U. S. CREDITOR nation. Consular agents are therefore instructed to report what commodities may be purchased in their territories more cheaply than in the United States and also are directed to report on the possibilities for investment by American capitalists In industries which may later yield commodities for export to America. In this way, it is pointed out, exports and imports can be kept more nearly at a balance, exchange will tend to greater stability and trade will be continuous instead of remaining at the mercy of an erratic exchange rate. The United States has become a creditor nation as a result of the war, expert* pointed out, and unless our foreign trade is reorganized In such a way ns to bring the dollar back to something like normal, we are in danger of losing the tremendous commercial advantage we have gained as a result of the war. OMAHA ENGAGES GIPSY SMITH TO HOLD MEETINGS (Continued From I’age One.) How many of you can say, ‘I have received anew spiritual existence?’ ‘lf God is iu your heart, He'll come out.” MANY VISITORS HEAR EVANGELIST. j More than 2,000 persons from Indiana | cities last night heard Gipsy Smith | deliver the most forceful and mo*t eloquent sermon delivered by him in the i evangelistic campaign which started : here three weeks ago. The standing ; room only sign was thrown out early \ln the evening, and the big timber j temple was filled to its capacity with j persons who heard the gipsy evangelist start on the home stretch in his campaign for souls in Indianapolis. Tonight will be the second night for the adult Bible classes of the city. Twenty-five hundred persons are expected to be included in tills delegation, and after tonight, no more tickets will be honored for admission to the tabernacle, it was announced. In addition to the Bible cla*ses, members of the Kiwanis, Rotary, Optimist and other clubs of the city will attend in a body. It was stated that there would be plenty of room for other Indianapolis residents tn the tabernacle tonight. One hundred forty-five requests for reserved space for special out-of-towu delegations have been refused this week, the management of the revival meetings announced. This was done in order to reserve the last week of the campaign Home Run Drives by Gipsy Smith “The man or woman born of God do not want to commit sin." “In your attitude toward evil, and toward right, do you stand revealed ?” “Tell me the kind of company you keep and I’ll tell you what kind of a man you are.” “A child of God resists the devil, and a child of the devil hunts for tiie devil.” “When the Lord measures a man for his Heavenly clothes, He doesn't measure his face.” “If a man can get religion without knowing It, he can lose It without knowing it.” “Some of you have old church letters In your trunks. Now travel by the way of the Grand Trunk Line; get them out and go to church." “If you love God with your whole heart, that is evidence of your new birth.” “I never wa* asked once In France what church I was a member of. Over there it wasn’t creed. It was Christ.” “One of the things I hope to see as a result of this campaign Is resuscitated prayer meetings.” “Let me see your week-night prayer meetings when I’m not expected, and I’ll gauge your spiritual life.” V J for Indlanapolltsns. It was announced, however, that special delegations would be welcome, although space would not be reserved for them. Gipsy Smith announced that on Thurs-' day and Friday nights no children would be admitted to the meetings. He announced also that on Thursday night he would tell his experienced while In France with the soldiers. The gipsy spent three years and a half in the war, and his story of his experiences bids fair to be exciting as well as entertaining. FROM GIPSY TENT TO PULPIT. A round of applause went up from the audience when the evangelist announced that on Friday night he would tell hi* Ufa's story, "From Gipsy Tent to Pulpit.” Ever since the advent of the revival meetings the various audiences have been anxious for tha gipsy to tell the story of M. Rf. Mwwvw he h„ held them off

One Baby Bandit Is Shot in Foot CHICAGO, April s.—Tom Tarrisl, 11, and his brother Alfred, 9, withdrew from the crime wave today. The two baby bandits were caught while robbing a butcher shop. Alfred was shot in the foot by George Guscish, butcher, who saw him climbing out of the window with several yards of frankfurters trailing behind.

with a promise. It Is expected that the tabernacle will be overcrowded on Friday night. That the evangelist has won his way into the hearts of his Indianapolis audiences by his forceful sermons and his singing, was evidenced last night when he called for a song from the choir. Im- ; mediately the cry went up from the I choir, and was taken tip by the audii once, for a solo from the gipsy, j “Don’t you think I know my own busi- | ness?” jokingly asked the evangelist. 1 The audience listened attentively while he sang, with clear and strong voice. ■‘Jesus Will,” and when he finished the audience made the huge structure ring with applause. EXPENSE OF CAMPAIGN MET. E. Howard Cadle set the Monday night meeting off to good advantage when he announced that the entire amount of $25,000 needed to defray the expenses of the meeting had been raised. He called for a free-will offering for the evangelist. “We can not repay in money, though, the gipsy for the splendid work he has j done In Indianapolis,” said Mr. Cadle. I Last night appropriately might have been designated as “visiting delegation night,” for when the visiting delegations were asked to stand, it was found that they almost outnumbered the local people in attendance. The following cities were represented ! n the meeting: Avon, 50; Bloomington district Si. E. Church, 250; Milroy, 100; Morristown, 100; Lawrence, 100; Greencastle, 100; Advance, 100; Anderson, 2<X); Browusburg, 100; Urbana, 30; Noblesvjlle, 400; Newcastle, 100; Fisher’s Station and Greenwood. The Tuxedo Park Baptist Chruroh, Indianapolis, and the Orln Jessup Land Company, Indianapolis, had delegations present also. The j Lawrence delegation presented Gipsy Smith with a basket of wild flowers; the Newcastle delegation, from the home of the American beauty rose, presented him with a large bouquet of American beauties; the Jessup Land Company presented him with a large floral tribute. TRUTH NOT ALWAYS PLEASANT. Gipsy Smith used as his text the words, “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of God.” “It Is not pleasant to emphasize the truth, always, but the truth must be declared and 1 am here to declare it. "The man or woman born of God docs not want to commit sin. In your attitude toward right, lu your attitude to- : ward evil you stand revealed. Tell me the kind of company you keep and I'll tell you you what kind of a man you are. A chill of God resists the devil, but a child of the devil hunts the devil. “In your relationship to God and to evil, you stand revealed. Don't call yourself a child of God unless you ars walking with God. "Whosoever Is horn |of God sinneth not.’ He fights sin and gives no quarter. If he falls, he gets up and gops at It again. “How do you stand revealed? Are you helping Him save the world? Your compromise with evil reveals you. We are not specific enough. We are too easyi Koing. j “Whsn the Lord measures a man for this Heavenly clothes. He doesn’t measure his face. I hold no feeling toward those who say a man can have religion without knowing it. It a man can get religion without knowing it, he can lose it without knowing it. A man knows when he's married. I do. You. can’t touch a live wire without knowing it. THREE KINDS OF CHURCH MEMBERS. “There are three kinds of members in our churches today. The first kind is the ’hope so’s.’ They come to church once on Sunday. They nre In only up •to their ankles. Then there are the ■ 'think so's.’ They think they have re- ; liglon. But 1 belong to the third class — j the ’know so's.' They know they stand I right with and know their God. | “You can't pass through the pangs of anew birth without knowing it. You oan't get that experience without knowj Ing It. If you are born again, then get j Into the church of God as soon as you ) can. Some of you people have old church letters in your trunks at home. Now travel by the Grand Trunk line—get them out and go to church. “I can't tel! you the moment the light came into my heart. Perhaps there are some here that can, but there are some here that have Just received it recently. I’m not going to ask you to put your finger on the very moment it took place But you know whether It has taken place. "If you love God with all yonr heart, that's evidence that the new birth has taken place. If yen love Hi in with your whole heart and hate sin. that's evidence thnt the Holy Spirit is working in your hea rt. “He that is born of God loveth the brethren. That Includes nil the people of God, of any denomination. When I was In France, I never was asked once what church I was a member of. Over there It was not creed, it was Christ. “One of the thingß I hope to see ns j n result of this campaign Is resuscitated prayer meetings. I want to hear after j I leave here that your prayer meetings | are so over-crowded that you have to hold them In your churches. “Let me see your week-night prayer I meetings when I am not expected, and j I'll gauge your spiritual life. If worldly j pleasures dominate you, I wouldn't give ; a rap for your religion. “If you are a child of God, you’ll know It.” | Thousands of conversions were ohj tained by tho evangelist through the j medium of hts touching sermon. The ! age of the penitents ranged from small i children to an old man, 91 years old. j Husbands and wives, young men and | young women, and fathers and sons, ; heeded the call of the gipsy, and nfij vnnoed down the sawdust path to meet ; the evangelist nnd enter on anew life.

WASHINGTON, April s.—The American people want to prove their gratitude to the men who served in the World War, President Harding declared today In a letter addressed to the committee headed by Charles G. Dawes of Chicago which he has appointed to investigate the measures for relief of disabled service men. The President advised the committee, which is holding its first meeting here today, not to Investigate the intent ot the laws providing relief, declaring that it is well understood that the laws intend to (leal “Justly and generously” with the veterans, but he urged the committee to inquire thoroughly into the “failures to care for these men,” and “abuses” which may have arisen. The committee came to an agreement that all soldier relief work should be consolidated under one authority. At the present time there are three bureaus earing for financial relief, vocational education and physical care. The committee voted unanimously to recommend to the President that the work of the bureau of war risk Insurance, the public health service in so far as it (teals with solider relief, and the board of vocational education should be consolidated under one head. HENRY LEE FREE OF CHARGES IN NAPARIU CASE (Continued From Cage One.) ne left the courtroom a free man. Prosecutor Evans, in answer to a question, stated that it was not Henry Lee's testimony at Shelbyville that Influenced the State to nolle the case against him and so permit him to escape. “The detectives recommended this, and I acted upon that recommendation,” said Prosecutor Evans. “Inspector Fletcher was in court when the motion was made.” “Google” Lee has been active for months In the interest of his brother. “Goosle" was a frequent visitor at Shelbyville when Buckner was tried and when his brother was a witness for the State Even during the Buckner trial there was talk that Henry Lee was "not very guilty.” The evidence showed in the Buckner trial that it was Lee's car which was used by Kauffman and the others on ths night of the tragedy last fall, when Napariu was fatally shot. There was no evidence to show that Lee did any of the shooting, but bo was with the Kauffman crowd and wa* to receive $3 for the ue of his car in which the Kauffman hunch was to bring in some "white mule” while Nspariu was to deliver near the Speedway, according to agreement. Prosecutor Evans describes Lee's actions as "passive” at the time of the tragedy. Mr. Ei an* claims Lee told the police voluntarily who were members of the party and this aided the detectives in arresting the seven men. Tho Indictment against the seven men was drawn apparently on tho theory that all were principals to the murder of Napnrlu, but the motion presented by Prosecutor Evan* virtually absolves Lee from being a principal. Mr. Evan* stated thnt counsel for Kaufman had Informed him that they would not appeal. Buckner is serving his time.

Women of Middle Age

THE critical stage of a woman’s life usually comes between the years of 45 and 55, and is often beset with annnoying symptoms such as nervousness irritability, melancholia, heat flashes which produce headache and dizziness, and a sense of suffocation. Guard your health carefully, for if this period be passed over safely, many years of perfect health may be enjoyed. /

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is especially adapted to help women through this crisis. It exercises a restorative influence, tones and strengthens the system, and assists nature in the long weeks and months covering this period. It is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and contains no harmful drugs or narcotics. Its value is proven by many such letters as these:

Afton, Tenn.—“l want other suffering women to know what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. During Change of Life I was in bed for 18 months and had good care, but did not improve. A friend advised mo to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which I did, and in a short time I felt better. That was five years ago, and now when I feel run down and nervous I take the Compound and it always does me good. I wish all women would try it during Change of Life, for I know it will do them good.”— Mrs. A. Keller, Afton, Term,

STATE WINS ITS CONTENTION IN GEORGIA CASE Williams Denied Continuance After His Attorneys Make Vigorous Fight. ‘DEATH FARM’ TRIAL ON COVINGTON, Ga„ April s.—Facing trial on the first of three charges of complicity in the murder of three negro farm hands he had employed, John Williams, central figure in Georgia's most sensational death case, arrived here today from the 1, county jail at Atlanta and was immediately taken to the county courthouse, where preparations had been mane to start his trial on a charge of murder in connection with the death of Willie Preston. Preston was one of the three negroes whose bodies were found In the Yellow River, and which led directly to the investigation which resulted in the discovery of a total of eleven bodies of Williams’ former employes. Green F. Johnson, counsel for Williams, asked for a continuance in the trial of Williams on a charge of murder when the ease was called and Solicitor General Brand announced the State ready for trial. Johnson said he had not time to prepare his case. One hundred veniremen, especially summoned for this case, were on hand when Judge Hutcheson of the Stone Mountain circuit of the Georgia Superior Court mounted the bench. Special deputy sheriffs were sprinkled about the courtroom and patrolled the streets outside. There have been rumors that trouble might develop during the course of the trial, but Judge Hutcheson and Governor Dorsey have scorned suggestions that State troops be mobilized here as a precaution. The State scored its first point when Judge Hutcheson overruled the defense's plea for a continuance. Counsel for the defense made a vigorous fight, declaring they should have time to examine Clyde Manning, the State’s star witness, and then ten weeks to prepare the case. They also declared there was a fault in the indictment, in that it charges Manning and Williams with having killed Lindsey Peterson at a time when his body was found.

Thomas, Okla.—“ I first used Lydia. E. idukham’s Vegetable Compound in my girlhood days, by the advice of a friend.
