. At tbe conclusion of the evidence In the $50,000 damage ault of Harry Philips of Valparaiso against the Pennsylvania Railroad, In Federal Court, today, Judge Ferdinand A.

Philips was a fireman and had gone out on the body of the locomotive to fix the automatic bell ringer which had become jammed. The company contended that instead of making use of the running board he had climbed on top of the locomotive and when directly over the safety valve It had “popped off," blowing him to the ground.

Bench. CHICAGO, May 4.—Judge Ivenesaw M. Landis, of the United States District Court, today branded as untrue the report that he had resigned from the Federal bench to give all of bis time to his duties as high commissioner of organized baseball. “This report has been coming tip every weeE?’’ said Judge Landis. "Each week I have been forced to deny it. When I get ready to resign—ls I ever do resign— I shall call in the newspaper reporters and tell them about It. The present report Is without foundation.” The persistence with which Judge Landis has refused to set cifses for trial in his court beyond June 15 has given rise to the belief among Federal building officials that he plans to retire on tir before that date. It is reported that he already bas discussed with the custodian of tM Federal building the disposition of wrtaln personal effects from his chamber which he desires as mementos of his sixteen years of service on the bench. In the light of report* of Judge lamdis’ resignation his utterance in a recent address to alumnL of Northwestern University assumes significance. On that occasion Judge Landis said: “I have been sitting on the bench for sixteen years. What happened has always happened In court “It became necessary for me to Increase my financial returns In view of heavy personal debt accumulated those sixteen years. I took what 1 thought would be the least objectionable thing to Increase my revenue. What 1 did 1 diu In public. "Sixteen years Is a good while out of the heart of a man’s life. I find that continuing on the bench with my other activity is going to be difficult. I have two full shifts in twenty-four hours end its difficult to find time and strength for the duties they require. I’ve got it in mind that I can't do both much longer. "When the time comes to leave the bench I shall go with a consciousness of deepest gratitude.” Since his acceptance of the baseball job Judge Landis has been the target of bitter attack in Congress. Congressman Welty, of Ohio, Introduced an Impeachment resolution, declaring Judge Landis guilty of Improper conduct In accepting the baseball position. Senator Dial, of South Carolina, also nt:#cked Judge Landis although not because of his baseball work. Senator Dials attack wag because of his action In criticising bank officials so rthe small salary paid a defaulting clerk. The Impeachment charges brought by Welty never have been brought to trial and it is believed they will be dropped.

BOARD TAKES UP ROUTINE AFFAIRS Harmonious Delegation, However Lightens Gloom. Only routine matters were considered by the board of public works at Its meeting today, the post-primary gloom of defeat that pervaded the entire city hall having made Its baleful influence felt, even in the office of the board. However, a wee bit of a silver lining to the heavy, dark clouds of political disaster was supplied by all the property owners, about twenty in number, reald ing In Sheridan avenue between Washington street and Lowell avenue. With- i out exception they announced themselves In favor of the permanent improvement of the street. This is said to break all records within the memory of the oldest employe of the board. Other actlous taken were as folloiys: All action for cement sidewalks In New York street from Randolph street to Hamilton avenue was rescinded. Hearing on the permanent Improvement of Riley avenue from Michigan to Tenth streets was postponed until next Wednesday. A resolution for local sewer In Mansfield avenue from Eighteenth to TwentyFirst street was approved. A declaratory resolution adopted for permanent improvement of Harding street from Washington street to Ken--tucky avenue. PLEDGE AIDIN FIRE PREVENTION Local Council of Women Adopts Resolution.

he will beat them at their- own game, and the candidates will all have a fair | count of the votes cast In this precinct 1 or the grand Jury will henr something.” Efforts of the city employe failed to force the Democratic precinct committeeman to change his mind and Beverly Howard watched tbe vote counted in the Ninth precinct of the First ward. A near riot followed efforts of a negro in the Eighth precinct of the First ward to act as a Democrat wutcher. When the election commissioners insisted that ! the man who was aimed with credentials should be pennlted to act as a watcher : the sounds that come from the front room i of the residence at 1920 Yaudes street, i sounded like a bunch of wild cats turned lose for a free for all fight. The elections board informed the commissioners that there would be no ballots counted and that the man, declared a Shank Republican, would be thrown out. The man was forced out of the front door nnd the argument continued. More negroes gathered In front and the argument that followed threatened to end In a fist battle but Lieutenant Woollen and his squad of police climbed out of an automobile and the fight ended in words. However, the argument in the voting place was far from ended. Jim Hagerty, Democrat, who held a city Job under Mayor Bell, a clerk on the election board, however, kept the election commissioners from making good their threat to take the ballots to the city clerk's office and counting the ballots there. Hagerty declared he woujd get a Democrat to act as a wutcher ard while the election commissioners waited he went in search of a watcher. When he returned he brought with him Martin Mi.'Mananon, a known Democrat p’ho acted as a watcher and the near Hot quieted down. When the election commissioner* arrived at Battery A, armory following the report of trouble things seemed quiet enough. The armory located in Boulevard Place north of Sixteenth street, ha* been the scene of many a battle, botli political and fists, but there was no battle there last night. It was all for Howe when the commissioners entered. ONE DEMOCRAT WAS IN THE PLACE. Yes, there had bean a man with credentials entitling him to act as a Democratic clerk, but he had been refused admission as he was known as a Shank Republican and was not needed. 1 here was one Democrat In the place Thomas, Godiey, clerk, but he was so busy keeping tally that he never had a chance to watch the ballots as they passed in front of him. Most of the board were negroes. Where is the watcher?" demanded one of the election commissioners, after they had learned that the Democrat watcher had been barred. "I am the watcher," declared a negro who appeared little interested in the counting of the ballots, and who was sitting about twenty feet from the table where the votes were being counted. The negro “watcher’) 1 who watched from a long range is s.<nd to be employed In the city controller's office as a Janitor. It was about 9 o'clock when the election commissioners arrived at 11S Weat Ohio street, where the votes of the Sixth precinct of the Sixth ward had not beet) counted. “Why the delay?” the commissioners asked and they were Informed that Paul (“Three Star”) Hennessy, frequently seen arranging things In the hallways of the city court, tad ordered the board not to count the votes until the commissioners arrived. Jpst what Mr. Heunessy's reason was for this action was nol learned. Leroy Donley had been appointed as a watcher anl had been refused admission to the votiug place until the cominls sloners arrived. Tbe commissioners ordered the conntlng.of the ballots to proceed. but did not consult Mr. Hennessy. CRIPPLED MAN VICTIM OF ATTACK, John Hennesey, SO7 Highland avenue, a Shank worker and a cripple,-was the victim of au assault during the night. The trouble occured In the Seventh precinct of the Ninth ward. The voting place was In Highland avenue. The polls had closed when Henesey walked around the side of the house. lie had an argument, he said, with Jack hca and Robert Sawyer and while talking to them was attacked from the rear by unseen asaailunts. One man caught hold of bis necktie and cbok“d him, while unother hit him a stunning blow on the bead, knocked Mm down and kicked him. The assailants disappeared before the police arrived. The election commissioners visited the voting place after recoiling numerous complaints about a watcher being barred out, but they found one watcher in the room and the other, the board members said, had gone away. The eotnmlsloners received numerous complaints shout the Third precinct of the Fifth ward, the Democrat watcher being barred, out they were Informed, j Mike Glenn, a Democrat and a former , city detective, charged crookedness. He related some of the political history of i the precinct. The commtsioners found that the objection of the board members | was to Tom Laffey being the Watcher and the trouble was adjusted when Mlekae-I Hanrahan was substituted. Glenn charged there were two city employes in the place who "would bear watching." "**• ANOTHER CASE IN' 2ND OF THE 6TH. A cate that caused citizens who wish a clean primary election, to express their Indignation occurred in tbo Second precinct of tbe Sixth ward when Ed Gaylord, negro, clerk of tbe election board. Is alleged to have marked an A after the name of Howe on the ballot of Mrs. Iva Morris, a white woman who declared that she wished to vote for Shank, and the ballot was torn in the struggle that followed for the possession of the ballot. —' The following Is her affidavit filed with the election commissioners, which will be turned over to the grand Jury: “Iva first duly sworn upon her oath, says that she Is a resident of tie city of Indianapolis, said county and State, and that she lives and resides at 734 North Capitol avenue, in said city. “That she is a qualified voter of the Second precinct of the Sixth ward of said county and State: that she presented herself at the regular polling place in her ward this day: that after requesting and receiving a Republican ballot. Ed Gaylord, clerk of said election board, asked this affiant if she knew how to vote and she told him that she desired instt uctions; lhat he went. Into the election booth with this affiant and asked who she desired to vote for, and on being told that she wanted to vote for Shank, ona of the candidates for mayor on the Republican ballot, said Gaylord marked her ballot for Howe; this affiant then toll said Gaj'lopd that he did not mark the ballot correctly and further said she wanted to vote for Shank; that said Gaylord told this affiant that he crossed Shank, and upon being further requested by tilts affiant-to again see said ballot, refused so to do; that this affiant then; grabbed hold of said ballot, which was still In the bands of said Gaylord, and said ballot was torn and mutilated by this affiant and said Gaylord; that tills affiant was then given a second ballot, and she voted; this affiant avers that the first ballot given to her was marked by said Gaylord for Howe. “Further affiant saith not. “IVA .MORRIS. “Subscribed and sworn to this third day of May, 1921, before me, a notary public in and for said county and State. “My commission expires Oct. 5. 1922. “R.

j side the voting place at 983 West Twentyi Fifth street “from stealing the votes j from E. J. Robison” at IS o’clock sharp, I when the polls closed, but his credentials, ! signed by Thomas .Meeker, Democratic j city chairman, failed to soften the hearts i of the sheriff or watcher inside. | Asa result Fleming attempted to use . force. Patrolman Frank Brooks, who was ! detailed to that voting place, interferred, only to be knocked around by the husky negro and almost to be thrown through the glass in J. W. Stone's barber shop, where the votes were cast. | Sergeant Sheehan and the emergency squad were called. Fleming told the police that he had credentials giving bint the right to be Democratic watcher. Both sheriffs and clerks told the police that the reason for refusing to. recognize the credentials was that "all the men who had i business inside were inside..” Sergeant • Sheehan did not arrest Fleming because I of the scrap of paper signed by Meeker, : but be did give Fleming -definite orders I* to “clear out." "Tbat's no use, I'm going to hang around until I do get. In.” Fleming told : the sergeant. Sergeant Sh, ehau left four | officers, however, to enforce his orders ; t<\ Fleming. “ | SAYS WORK ROTTEN IN ITH OF THE 4TH. ! "In the Sixteenth precinct of the Fourth ward the work of the gang supporting Charlie Jewett's candidate was the rotteneat I ever saw," declared Henry Fleming, negro political worker who supported Robison, and who was thrown out of the voting when be appeared I with credentials properly signed and j wished to act as a Democratic watcher. I “They spent more than SIOO in that precinct yesterday, and there were eighteen city employes there working for j Howe,” Fleming declared. "It was rot- \ ten. There were marked ballots and every other crooked Stunt worked. I knew what they would do, but I never j raw them get so raw with It. The police forced me out, taking the part of the eleci tlon hoard, but I really wanted no trouble and when 1 returned after midnight I found the police oil guard and ready to bar me, so I went away rather tha’n to embarrass the policemen who had been ordered to keep me out of the voting place in spite of the properly signed credentials that gave me the right to act as a watcher there.” “We met them at their own game and made the Howe gaug count the votes that were for Shank,” declared W. D. Shilling, a Shank worker In the Second precinct of the Fifteenth ward. “1 was ona of a number of workers who visited-twenty-seven precincts during the night, j Ip some of these voting places we found members of the election boards drunk and lying on the floor. In some of ttiese precincts admission was gained through tbe kitchens of the residences usod ns voting places, and conversations were overheard that Indicated that the boards were having difficulty In tabulating the votes. Many of these precincts were visited by the election commissioners, who found the conditions as reported by Shank workers.” Thera was a complaint filed by Shank \ and Robison workers in the Third precinct, Eighth ward, that the woman i election sheriff was passing out Howe j sample ballots and falling to do her duty. The election commissioners acted prompt- , ly and the sheriff was changed. ; STRANGE STORIES COME FROM TWELFTH, Strange stories are being told about soma things that are said to hsTO occured In the Sixth precinct, of the Twelfth ward, the voting place being 8-16 South Illinois street. The election commissioners said, however, that the only “queer" thing was the swearing in of a Democratic clerk by a Republican election of-' flcial but “that didn't matter much.” Iu many precincts the polls were closed while many voters were, waiting for their turn to vote. This caused trouble in all parts of tbi city. Ray Beville, a special messenger delivering election supplies for the election board to voting places, had a narrow escape from being mobbed near Garfield park. Ha was sent to the voting place to deliver supplies when the doors of the polls were closed promptly at 6 p. m. A hundred voters demanded that they be permuted to vote. Whan refused some person pointed Beville out as the man who had stopped the voting. “Lynch him,” yelled a man. “Get a rope,” yelled another and Ilevilla made a hurried get away in an automobile as the crowd of disappointed would-be voters approached him. TALK OF SHOOTING. As an aftermath to the Yandes street troubles. Dr. E. E. Hodgtns, Shank manager, appeared before the election commissioners at A o'clock tills morning, and told them he was informed by tbe election board there, that if he or the election commissioners came out there, they (the board) would shoot them. The election commissioners, accompanied by four bicycle policemen, made a visit to the place, but by that time, the board hud calmed down, and Informed the commissioners that “no one meant to do any shooting.” Six hundred and : nniety-three votes were polled in that precinct, and shortly after ft o'clock this morning, only 425 had been counted. The election commissioners warned the board to speed up the count. Alleged Still Owner Nabbed by Feds Samuel R.

COUNCIL SHOWS MUCH INTEREST IN U. S. VIEWS Three Important Phases Involve This Country in Reparations Parley. YAP SUBJECT COMING UP LONDON, Afay 4.—A report printed by the London Times that Germany had made anew reparations offer direct to the allies, was officially denied when the supreme council met today. From Japanese sources it was learned .hat the American-Japanese issue Involving Yap Island might be reviewed by the council this afternoon. It was declared that, If this matter were crowded out by the Indemnity discussions, it would be considered at the next meeting of the supreme council, which would be held very soon. French members of the reparations committee have arrived {.o assist in completing the. Indemnity terms .to Germany. Marshal Foch and Vice Admiral Grasset, chief of tlie French naval staff, have departed for I’aris, accompaniei by their staffs. COUNCIL MEETS IN FINAL SESSION TODAY. The Inability of the reparations experts to complete the details of indemnity terms which Germany must meet under the conditions of the allied ultimatum which will expire on May 12. made il necessary for the supreme council to hold another meeting today. This is the final session. Premier Lloyd George plans to go before the House of Commons tomorrow and make an important Bpecrh. explaining the decisions which have been reached by the council. The council has displayed remarkable sensitiveness regarding the American viewpoint on proposed new penalties to compel Germany to meet her Indemnity obligations. This has bean emphasized by several developments: V. S. ATTITUDE HAS IMPORTANT BEARING. 1. The decision not to undertake naval operations against Germany until approved by the United Staff s. 2. The Invitation to the United States to participate iu the future councils of the allies. 3. Premier Lloyd George's insistence that international Issues having an American bearing be put over au<l discussed at a later date. The presumption that the United States would be hostile to naval operations against Germany played an important part in the council’s debate upon tha proposal that the British and French fleets blockade Germany. It was understood that a subcommittee would be appointed to deal with the guarantees to bo exacted from Germany to safeguard allied Interests.

RESIGN A TION GERM A N CABINET LOOMING BERLIN, May 4.—The rt dgnatlon of the cabinet headed by Chunc tlor Fehrenbach and Foreign Minister 'dmons was regarded as Imminent when the cabinet met today to consider the indemnity situation.

The communication from Secretary Hfighe-s urging Germany to communicate an acceptable reparations offer direct to the allies at once was described os a "death blow” to the present ministry. A cabinet council wag held Tuesday evening when the discussion* centered upon tie Hughes’ note and the advisability of immediato resignation by the ministry. On account of the mongeruess of advices from London it was decided to postpone a definite decision until today. After the break-up of the meeting it was declared that “the resignation of the FehrenbaehSlinons cabinet was only a matter of hours unless more favorable news was received from London. A meeting of the Foreign Affuirs Committee of the Reichstag was summoned today. The text of Secretary Hughes' note was made public here shortly alter It was received by the foreign office.

TAKES §1,617 YEAR FOR FAMILY OF 5 That’s Only Bare Subsistence, * Economist Says. CHICAGO, May 4.—Bare subsistence for a family of five costs $1,617 per year and a minimum comfort standard of living costs ?2,000 per year. W. Jett Lauck, consulting economist for the railway unions, pointed out in a lengthy statls-, tical exhibit filed with the United States Railway Labor boaid today. Lauck's exhibit was filed in support of the employes' claim that w .gcs of railway workers should not be educed. Tho a st of living, Lauck declared, has declined only 5 per cent since last December. The cost of food, he asserted, bas declined slightly and there has been a small drop In the price of retail clothing. Rents, coal, gas and electricity, l auck said, have advanced sufficiently In many localities to wipe out most of the advantage gained by declining costs of food ami clothing.

JOHNSON ADDS DISCORD AMONG G.O.P. SENATORS Attacks Harding Appointee as Traitor to His Colors. CONFUSION RESULTING WASHINGTON. May 4. Discord spreading among Republican Senators since the bitter fight over the Colombian treaty was viewed at tbe Capitol today as having attained Its crescendo In Senator Hiram Johnson blocking .President Harding’s nomination of Davis H. Blair (N. C., Rep.), for internal revenue commissioner. Johnson’s vitriolic attack upon Blair for having turned for President Harding at the Chicago convention last June after being sent there as a delegate bound to support the Californian’s presidential aspirations, was regarded by his Republican colleagues U3 heaping fresh fuel on the flames of dissension appearing In the Republican ranks. To the general confusion of thought nnd opinion is now added the statement that the Administration has reached no definite decision as to Its future policy respecting the Versailles treaty as separated from the League of Nations covenant T As Republican Senators learned that the President had yet reached no final conclusion regarding the treaty as a possible framework for his foreign policy, they also heard that Secretary of State Hughes Is engaged upon a remolding of the pact he hopes may meet the views of the President, and, in turn, of this country’s associates in the World War. Still another storm cloud looming on the Senate’s already overclouded horizon is that of Senator Borah's proposed legislation for exempting American vessels from the payment of tolls for using tha American-constructed Panama canal. It Is sard the President favors giving American bottoms free access to the canal, not by congressional action, but by negotiations by the State Department with the British government and other foreign governments which might raise objections to the waterway being thrown open to American vessels.
