EMPTY SEATS IN MAJORITY AT HOWE RALLIES Professor Fails to Draw Even Sizable Crowds in Congested Sections. HIS EFFORTS FALL FLAT That the much touted power of the Jewett- Roomier-Leracke political machine and the Indianapolis News has been Insufficient to stir in the minds of the voters more than passing interest in Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College and News-Jewett candidate for mayor, was made apparent to the candidate and other speakers in his behalf through small attendance at Howe meetings last night. At 435 Massachusetts avenue, in the Seventh ward, which Mr. Howe's lieutenants are claiming for him. about thirty persons gathered. Howe work ers said the meeting held at 435 Massa chusetts avenue was for the voters ot the Second and Fourth precincts of the Seventh ward, one of the most thicklj populated districts in the city, and yet only thirty persons turned out to heat him. A negro, who was called "Fletcher" by some of the Howe people present sidled up to a Times reporter and whis pered an explanation: "Robison's having a big meetin’, a big meetin', down at the glove factory tonight." EMPTY BENCHES GREET HIM OX SOTI H SIDE. With the primary only six days distant and all the folk presumably worked up to fever pitch. Professor Howe attracted only 200 persons out of all the Thirteenth ward to a meeting at the South Side Turners' gymnasium. Prospect street and Madison avenue. Whole, rows of empty seats confronted the candidate as he struggled in vain to rouse the crowd to applause. A feeble round of hand-clapping when he concluded was his chief reward. About half as many people as were in the gymnasium stood in the outside hall talking about candidates for the city council and other minor offices while Professor Howe orated within. The Fourteenth ward meeting, held at the Iv. of P. hall, 524 Belleview avenue, was even more disappointing from the Howe standpoint. This hall, was much smaller than the Turner gymnasium, but even so it was plentifully sprinkled with vacant chairs. This audience, as that in the Thirteenth ward, was comparatively indifferent to Professor Howe's best efforts. It would be reasonable to suppose that Professor Howe might have expected a better reception at the pool room of Noah Fritz, negro, 903 Ft. W ayne avenue, which place is said to have been the scene of many r session at the "African national pastime,” hut, despite the fact that somebody had just concluded passing around bottles of dry beer as Professor Howe arrived nothing exciting happened.

HERE’S NEAREST TO EXCITING EVENT. That Is unless the tact that Major Charles W. Jewett stepped out of the back room where most ot the negroes who were downing the prohibition brew were. Just as the professor and the reporters came in the front door, can be so described. Whatever was going on In the back room was interesting, for the mayor, as soon as he introduced Professor Howe to the twenty or thirty negroes present, went back. He had not come out when Professor Howe finished talking and left. There was evidence in the speeches made by Mayor Jewett and Claris Adams, former prosecuting attorney, in several of the Howe meetings that the warnings of speakers for Samuel Lewis Shank and Edward J. Robison to the voters to beware of the theft of votes by the city hall organization for Professor Howe are hitting home. The Robison forces particularly have been driving home charges that Mayor Jewett was elected by fraud and that the same sort of tactics may be expected in Professor Howe's behalf this time unless extraordinary precaution is taken. The voters are being urged by Robison speakers not to leave the polls until they have seen the inspector deposit their ballots in the boxes. RIDICULE USED AS THEIR WEAPON. The mayor and the former prosecuting attorney attempted to combat these charges by ridiculing them. The mayor, bouever, studiously avoided answering the ten questions regarding fraud in his primary campaign four years ago, which were put to him Monday evening by Henry Fleming, negro, one of the Robison speakers, who helped elect Mr. Jewett. Fleming's threat to "call the roll” and tell the complete truth about how the primary was stolen from Samuel Lewis Shank apparently has caused the mayor to want to drop the subject altogether. Stating that he had heard many strange and marvelous things about himself since he became mayor and warning Professor Howe that he must expect the tame, Mr. Jewett said: ‘‘l’ve learned that you've got to be patient in this world—that you've got to do Just one way. That, way is to do your best, do right, tell the truth, fear no man and sleep at night.” Mr. Jewett continued to attack Mr. Shank, charging him with being backed by the "king of the gamblers," but admitting that a great many decent citizens are for him. He said such folk are being misled. PROFESSOR SAYS NOTHING STARTLING. Besides his usual remarks criticizijig the platforms of Shank and Robison, defending the present city administration for its high taxes and promises to observe no class distinction. Professor Howe came out with a flat statement that ‘‘l am expecting as mayor to be the mayor myseif.” Many citizens are of the belief that the News-Jewett organization never would have sponsored Professor Howe unless it were absolutely confident that it can dominate his administration. Professor Howe's opponents have said so and his statement was regarded as an attempt at answering them. Professor Howe urged the voters to come to the primary polls early. "You are only called on to take a little interest around election day. It is only around election day that you are called upon to perform.” HOWE TELLS WHAT THE CITY NEEDS. The outstanding needs of the city government were discussed by Mr. Howe in a talk at noon today to the employes of the Van Camp Hardware Company. Mr. Howe lashed Mr. Shank for resigning as mayor at a critical time, an! described him as a ‘‘runaway,” and declared Indianapolis cannot afford to take the risk of having another such occurrence. He also denounced Shank’s statement at a recent meeting on Indiana avenue when he told his auditors they have a right to use a pistol if policemen try to break into their homes. •’This is a very unfortunate and illconsidered utterance," said the candidate, ‘•end amounts to encouraging lawlessness and murder. Certainly a responsible man should know better than to make such statements," DIFFICCLT PERIOD OF READJUSTMENT AHEAD. Just aheaed there is a difficult period of readjustment, Mr. Howe said, and the city government must lead in economy and thrift. He spoke of the need for

Report Honeymoon of Sam Gompers Was *Nonunion * DETROIT, April 28.—The Detroit Federation of Labor has appointed a committee to Investigate Samuel Gompers’ honeymoon. This action was taken after it had been charged that Gompers and his bride registered at a nonanion hotel: that his food was prepared by nonunion cooks, and that he was served by nonunion waiters. If the committee finds Mr. Gompers "guilty” lie will be asked for an explanation.

completing the track elevation system, continuing flood prevention work, expanding the parks and playgrounds, completing the sewage disposal plant and keeping the police and fire departments up to the highest staudard of efficiency. The candidate declared that the city government should encourage in every possible way the owning of homes. “We should make it profitable for every family in this city to possess its own fireside," he said. "This can be done by promoting industry, thrift, and the maintenance here of great industrial enterprises and attracting new irulus tries by having in Indianapolis the bes possible conditions, favorable alike to the greaf employer and the humblest worker.” ; HOWE RALLIES SLATED FOR TODAY. Howe meetings scheduled for today include big rallies in the First and Tenth wards. The First ward Howe boosters will meet in the Dunnlek Theater at Sixteenth street and Martindale avenue. Mayor Jewett, Mr. Howe, Miss Eleanor Barker, Claris Adams and the Rev. U. P. Christian will speak. The Tenth ward meeting will be held at Laurel and Hoyt avenues in the, V\ allace Theater.

INTERCHANGE OF SCHOLARS International Fellowships Are Created by Surplus Fund. NEW YORK, April 2S.—Twenty new "Fellows” have been appointed by four ; Belgian universities to come to America : for graduate study for the school year of 1921-1922. The nominating universities are Ghent, Liege. Brussels and Louvain, the School of Mines at lions, and the Colonial School at Antwerp; while the thirteen \merican colleges and universities asked to nominate candidates for study in Belgium for the 1921-1922 academic year are Harvard. Yale, Columbia, Cornell, California, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Stanford, Princeton, Vassar, Smith, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Johns Hopkins. The American candi- | dates will be chosen by May 1. Four fellowships in each country are renewed. The origin of the C. R. B. Educational I Foundation dates from the armistice, 1 the fund representing residue from the | sales of foodstuffs both outside and m- ! side Belgium, largely accrued during the armistice under the Commission for Kej lief in Belgium, which continued in i service until April. 1913, and of the | Comite National, which was the atooelate i organization of the American commis- ] sion and was made up of a large number of Belgians under the direction of distinguished Belgian business men. After the armistice it was desirable that the system of providing mass food supplies be continued until such time as Belgium should have re-established herself on a pre-war basis. In November, 1918, there were approximately 900,000 people receiving free food, while the balance of the population, about 7,000.000 people, were still able to fini local money with which to pay for their rations. HOOVERS BI'GGESTION IS POL LOW ED. Fnder the arrangements of the Comite National the Belgians who had money had always charged themselves a small profit, which was expended In support of the totally destitute. With the armistice, the amazing industry, vitality and ingenuity of the Belgian population showed itself in immediate and astonishingly rapid reduction of the totally destitute, so that not only was theiN an accumulation of profit formerly expended for the destitute, but anew profit from the former destitute, whose pride prompted them to begin paying as fast as they secured employment or were able to come again into possession of property over which they had lost control during the occupation. There was further profit made in liquidation of surplus foodstuffs and equipment. No question ever arose but that these •‘profits,’’ or margins, were the property of the people of Belgium. The only question to be determined was how they were to be returned to the public. The Belgian government expressed the desire that they be applied in some manner beneficial to the public and to commemorate the relief organizations of the war. A meeting was arranged by the Belgian authorities at Brussels at which the prime minister, speaking on behalf of the ministers, requested Mr. Herbert Hoover to determine the character of this operation. After study and reflection Mr. Hoover proposed the money for education in Belgium. This having been accepted. representatives of the Belgian universities were called into conference. MILD BRIDGE OF RELATIONSHIP. Ninety-five million francs were made available to enable the Belgian universities and technical schools immediately to resume activities. Further amounts as they became available after final liquidation were allocated to the permanent foundations from which the income only would be expended.

April 28.—1s the comedy bull fight usurping the place of the time honored national sport of Mexico 1 This question has arisen because of the large attendances that have marked the recent series of bull fight burlesques presented here by a troupe of comedians. Emulating Charlie Chaplin, one of the company cavorts about the ring performing all kinds of ant.tcs with the bull to the delight of the crowds. He plays cards while seated on the nDimai, is carried through the dust while gripping the bovine tall and otherwise keeps the spectators in an uproar. Others of the troupe appear in full dress suits, some in grotesque, padded costumes, and permit the bulls to toss them in the air. In tha comedy spectacles the bull, after much buffoonery, is eventually killed, but no horses are used. In the real fights horses are always a feature. Because the comedy fights have attracted to much interest some Mexicans fear for the future of the old sport, and when recently a group of six pretty senoritas were advertised as hull fighters and actually appeared in various parts of the republic it was too much for one writer who, in a contribution to El Democrats of Mexico City, says in part: “The feminine has for many years been succeeding in almost every activity and the bull fight could not be excepted in this order. One group of feminine bull fighters was organized in Spain and some of the matadoras used nicknames, such as 'Reverie,' ‘Angelita.’ etc. These were the pioneers of the feminine element in the bull rings. I think women should go to the bull fights to decorate the galleries and make the fiesta a merry occasion, but they should not contribute to gloom, because It is gloomy to see three or four women shivering with fear before an inoffensive Bull, and also rolling in the dust while the public laughs. The bull fight, above all, is a manly sport. The man is needed, but women in the ring only bring down the scorn of tha public. It was a pity last Sunday to see several women fly in panic amid laughter, notwithstanding the fact that the bulls were very tame. But when a member of the group rolled in the dirt and shivered with fear the feminine theories rolled with her.” FOUR SISTERS ASK PAPERS.

LOGAN SPORT, Ind., April 28.—Although the new law providing for the holding of special elections to decide on the city manager form of government by Indiana cities automatically postpones the holding of regular primaries until the question is decided by the people in each Individual city, after petitions have been duly filed with city clerks, all of which has been done here, the election commissioners of Logansport are going steadily ahead with their preparations for the regular primary election. Politicians assert there Is not the slightest possibility of delaying the primary election, while sponsors of the new plan are equally confident that the special election will be called. The printing of ballots has been com pleted, election booths are being established and election boards of twenty three precincts have been selected, while an air of mystery envelops the city as to what the outcome will be. City Attorney Robert C.

HAYSTALKSTO PUBLISHERS OF NEW POLICIES Postmaster General Indicates What May Be Expected of Administration. MESSAGE FROM HARDING NEW YORK. April 28 -Predicting that President Harding "will make a great President,” Will H. Hays, former Re publican campaign manager, and now Postmaster General, in speaking before the American Newspaper Publishers' Association today, Indicated that one might feel assured the Administration would be guided by these policies: 1. immediate reduction and equalization of Federal taxes, with the repeal of taxes which kill initiative and the spreading of the war debt over a great number of years. 2. Development of a better relation between capital and labor, with justice to both, and with justice to tle public. 3. No undue federalization of industries and activities by the Government, but bringing the Government back to limitations of the Constitution In times of peace, with Federal regulation, but not Federal ownership. 4. Prevention of further spread of socialism and seeing that the Nation's feet are firmly on the "paths of progress and along ways which liberty must ever guard and preserve." 5. An honest, efficient and economical business administration of the Nation's affairs. 6. The Administration will measure its steps forward by the new needs of the Nation, with its eyes ahead, but with its feet always on solid ground. BRINGS MESSAGE FROM HARDING. Postmaster General Hays brought this message from President Harding, him self formerly a publisher, to the publishers : “We expect your help in bringing this Republic and its varied interests into the straightforward track again." Elaborating and illustrating the overlapping and confusion resulting there from In governmental departments at Washington, Mr. Hays said It was the Administration’s intention to overhaul the entire Government machinery to make it more efficient, by greater co-ordina-tion and eoDcentration. "It will be natural to expect," he said : “First, changing the name of the Department of Interior to Department of Public Works nud the concentration In that department of all civil public works of the Government, including administration of public domain. DEPARTMENT of PUBLIC W ELFARE. "Second, establishment of anew department. the Department of Public W elfare. to ha'e charge of ail bureaus and office* which hundle relief work for World War veterans, besides those bu reaus dealing with public health, education and am* la I welfare. “Third, that stripping of the Treasury Department of ail except its necessary and proper fiscal functions.

PITTSBURGH, April 28.—Otto Heier learned today that there had been a war, that John Barleycorn had been “planted,” that Harding is President and that there is a Mrs. Otto Heier, a bride of five weeks. Physicians at Mercy Hospital here said that Heier was A victim of amnesia and that his mind has been wiped clear of all events during the last five years by bis affliction. Propped on his cot nonchalantly puffing a cigaretle, Heier tried to realize the amazing incidents about which be has been told. He gnzed in astonishment at the pretty woman who has not left his bedside since he entered the hospital Monday. He said he had not the slightest recollection of having seen her before and he is unable to fathom her assertions that she is his wife. “While I can’t remember of ever getting marrifd. you can tell the world that I got a mighty pretty wife while 1 was unconscious,” he said. Mrs. Helr said her husband left home in apparent good condition Monday morning, but was brought home Monday evening In an automobile. His weird talk caused Mrs. Heier to call physicians who diagnosed his case as amnesia.

RAIL WORKERS PRESENT PLEA TO WAGE BOARD Claim Living Costs Not Low Enough Now for Pay Cut. CHICAGO, April 28. Railway workers presented to the United States Railway Labor board today their plea against a wage reduction asked by the railroads. They denied the assertion of railroad executives that the cost of living has gone down sufficiently to warrant a reduced pay schedule or that wages in "similar industries" have dropped. "The board should make no reduction in wuge rates because therp have been no reductions in wages paid in comparable industries steel and coal," B. M. Jewell, labor leader, told the board, "There has not been sufficient reduction in the cost of living to justify cuts in wages that were inadequate to meet living costs at the time they were established.” Jewell claimed the Railroad Board "cannot entertain a plea from railroad managers for a reduction in wages until the Inadequacies of management and the high operating costs resulting therefrom have been eliminated." ' The financial interests controlling the railroads also control production of fuel timber equipment, oil and other supplies," Jewell asserted. He charged these financial interests determined upon a policy to decrease rail expenses by reducing wages and "at the same time charge unwarranted prices for fuel, steel, timber, oil and other supplies." “The board should not consider complaints relative to pay rates until it is satisfied the railroads are not being forced to purchase fuel, equipment, oil and timber at exorbitant price," Jewell said. The witness said for eighteen months prior to the decision of the rail labor board creating the present pay schedule workers did not earn sufficient money to buy "even the necessaries of life.”

FOREST WASTE MAY RESULT IN UNTOLD EVILS Wanton Destruction of China’s Tree Growth Cause of Present Famine A CONSERVATION PLEA By HARRY A. RODMAN. ! In an appeal to the Nation for the reforestation of what was once wooded lands and for the preservation of the preseut forest tracts, foresters of the United States Department of Agriculture declare that the ruthless destruction of forests by the Chinese is the principal reason why famine and plague today holds that nation in their sinister grasp Denudation, wherever practiced, leaves naked soil; floods and errosion follow. When the soil is gone, men must also go, and the process does not take long. Forests, it is pointed out, not only play an important part in the distribution of mankind over the earth's surface, but also deeply affects his spiritual, physical and economic life. Foresters declare that a country that recklessly wastes its nat- j ural resources—and especially its forests, faces ultimate poverty aud decadence. The cases of the provinces of Honan, Shensi and Chill are fair examples of the immediate result of deforestation. These provinces, totaling an area of some 100,000 square miles in extent, have several millions of people starving, as the result of disastrous floods followed by long periods of drought, which resulted in the failure of three successive crops. The greet plains of Eastern China, occupied by the first Chinese of whom history tells, were centuries ago transformed from forests Into agriculture | lands. The mountain plateaus of Central i China have also, within the last few huui dred years, been utterly devastated of tree growth, and no attempt at either natural or artificial reforestation ha* been made. Asa result, the water rushes off the naked slopes in veritable floods, gullying away the mountain sides, and carrying enormous masses of fertile soil to the sea. The tree covered mountains of China of former ages absorbed a great portion of the annual rainfall and let it es cape by slow, regular seepage during the dry season. Now, there are no trees, shrubs or grass to restrain rainfall, the streams that formerly were narrow and deep and supplied an abundance of clear water the year round, have become broad and yellow with currents of muddy water, which, when it rains, swell to roaring torrents that bring disaster and destruction everywhere. Water courses have also changed, as a • asua! glance at the map of China will show. Rivers beome uncontrollable and the water level of the country lowered. In consequence, the unfortunate people see their crops wither and die for lack of water when it is most needed. In many parts of China, it is said, these factors, combined with uncertain moisture conditions, make seven years out of every ten more or less famine years. The Yellow River, or Hoang Ho, which drains a large part of the famine district of China, records show, once flowed through a rich and fertile valley, its tributary hills well wooded. Today it is a broad, moving quicksand with a small amount of water most of the year, but when the floods come the whole face of the landscape may be changed. In 1886, this river, known as “China's ; Sorrow," flooded more than 20,000 square miles of the most densely populated land*, wiped out thousands of villages 1 and towns and drowned more than 2,000,000 people. Some idea of the rapidity of the runoff of the mountains may be obtained j from the records of the Yantse River,

which has been known to rise fifty-eight feet above mean water level in one weak, and then fall sixty-eight feet la lezs than three weeks. Human folly and short-sightedness, foresters assert, have thus made a country fertile enough to support half a million people into a place where man must eveu?< be haunted by the fear of starvation and* destruction. The lesson, foresters say, of deforestation in China is one which mankind should have learned many times from what has occurred in other places.
