A ring—the one with a diamond, not the wedding ring—that was on the finger ! of Mrs. Ama M. Ward, 420 Bank avenue, attracted Brown Becker. Morris and Belmont avenue. That was May 5, "the day of the circus.” and today Becker appeared ! in city court to answer a charge of grand larceny. Mrs. Ward and Mrs. Nora Lafrence, also of the Bank avenue address, were ' the witnesses against Becker. It was during a ride in a taxi they explained that Mrs. Ward let Becker put her . diamond ring on his finger. ■‘Sweethearts ?” asked Prosecutor J. Burdette Little. “No,” exclaimed Mrs. Ward. ‘‘Well I don’t know, I guess you might call it that,” smiled Becker. "I put the . ring on my finger and I couldn't get It off and then I lost it on a street car.” "Yes, you said you lost it on a West Washington street car,” said Mrs. Ward. ‘‘But I went to the street car company and they don’t even hav a car of toe number you gave me. Then you admitted you pawned my ring for S2O, and •aid you would get it back for me if I would not prosecute you.” “JAdge, I would like to get tome wltrequested Becker. ‘‘l didn't even this lady was married.” “You saw her wedding ring, didn’t you?” demanded the prosecutor. “Yes, but a wedding ring is no sign a woman is married these days,” declared the defendant. “I think it's a pretty good sign.” declared the prosecutor. "It’s a danger signal.’’ Judge Pritchard continued the case to permit Becker to have some witnesses in court.

SEND OBREGON HINT OF POLICY American Envoy En Route to Mexico With Statement. WASHINGTON, May 23—George T. Summerlin, counsellor of the American embassy at Mexico, left last night for Mexico City, the State Department announced today. Summerlin, it was learned carried with him a communication for President Obregon, which outlines the tentative policy of the Harding administration towards Mexico. State Department officials refused today to state that a formal communication had been addressed to Obregon but it was learned that Sumerlin carries a statement of policy, which while Incomplete and not final, will give the Mexican president a fair outline of the attitude of the present admtnistra-, tlon. The State Department has' reached a decision with regard to a Mexican policy, it was announced today, but jt is not yet in such shape that any statement can be made of the policy of the” administration. HARDING SAYS HARDEST TASK IS EFFICIENCY (Continued From Page One.) tained. Asa result of that demonstration of Government's capacity to force great results in emergencies.' there has grown up a school of thought which assumes that even in time of peace the same autocratic authority might well be exercised in the general Interest. Many men thoughtlessly urge that 'Governments take over the control, even the conduct, of many Industries and facilities during the war; there followed a great increase In wages, a vast expansion of business activity; therefore why not assume that continuance of such control and management in time of peace would enable continuance of the same liberality in compensation and profits, the same intense ousiness activity?’ SOCIETY COILD NOT Bear burdens. “Those who look below the surface know tl at the things which governments accomplished during the war were accomplished at a staggering cost, a cost which society could not bear long; a cost that has left society burdened with d f bts which mortgage generations of the future. They know that the feverish seeming of prosperity was not genuine, but was possible only because sottiety was literally burning up It* stocks of capital; and that this destruction of capital was responsible for the reaction and depression which are now felt unhersally. In this process the burdens of government were immensely increased, and It is for us now to find means of lightening those burdens. “Government, to a greater extent now than ever before. Is under obligation to give the greatest service for the lowest possible cost. But it is for certain obvious reasons difficult to do this, cause government is not under the necessity to earn profits nor to obey laws which regulate competition. These are the prime guarantees of efficiency and fair dealing in private business They do not apply to government, and therefore government should be placed so far a* possible, under a strict sway qf the methods which are applied In private business to secure these ends. Government should be broad, conscientious and intelligent enongh to subject itself to these rules; despite that it* quality of sovereignty would place it beyond them If it chose to assume that position. Every principle and device which promotes efficiency In private business should be adopted and applied in government sflairs 1 will trust the public official who decides his public problem as though it were bis very own. "To bring economy and efficiency into government Is a task second to none in difficulty. Few people in or out of the Government have any conception of the growth of Government business in the last decades before the World War; still fewer at all realize the pace to which that growth has been speeded up since the war started. The multiplication of departments. bureaus, dlilons. functions, has resulted in a sort of geometrical increase in the tasks which confront the heads of executive departments when they face reconstruction problems. They find that with their time already mortgaged in favor of tasks which demand more hours than the day provides, they must devise means for doing yet more work, with less money. __ PROSPECT NOT ” EXTREMELY HOPELESS. "Fortunately, the prospect Is not so hopeless as might appear, because the present organization Is so bad that the insistent application of a few established principles of sound bubsiness organization will result in Immediate economies and provide a margin of available means to meet new demands. The party In power is pledged to economy and efficiency and you mayassured that energy is being directetr to redeem that pledge to the last degree and with all promptness. “At the beginning of his administration. President Taft secured from Congress the establishment of an economy and efficiency commission. It made a comprehensive survey of activities, orSanizatlon and personnel of the whole overnment establishment. The report of that survey was never printed. But it is available and can be consulted to determine where wastages and overlappings of function are. The commission further presents particular suggestions as to how specific economies couid be effected, efficiency established an i much money saved. "The problem has beer vastly complicated and- Increased as a result of the war. “The present Congress has already provided for a joint committee on the reorganization of the administrative branch of the Government. A representative of the executive will serve with tuis committee, so that there Is in progress now a thorough study of the whole problem. The task will require some time and ultimate results must await It. Morw It will demand a resolute courage to effect the abolition of the useless and the coordination of the useful. LOOKS FORW ARD TO BUDGET SYSTEM. “But meanwhile we shall, I trust, have a budget system in operation under the law, before the opening of the new fiscal year. This is a long step toward introducing into Government the sound methods that great private business establishments have adopted. I need not emphasize to you, gentlemen, that anomalous situation of *he Government heretofore in having a great number of spending committees. apportioning moneys to various purposes without any study of the relationship between those various purposes/and regardless of the relationship of these aggregated spendings to the revenue in sight. No business, no humblest household, could be thus conducted without leading into disaster. ‘‘Establishment of a budget system is th foundation on which reorganization must be based. It Is hardly conceivable, indeed, that a budget system could he established and carried for any considerable time wtlhout forcing attention to the evils and effecting the reform of many deficiencies in the present system. But the budget program will not do everything. ft must not be accounted a fiscal and efficiency panacea, for it will not he. There must still be much and continuing effort to keep expenses down, to insure full value for ererr dollar of the taxpayers’ money the Government spends. At this, point, let me say, too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that eternal vigilance is the price of economy and efficiency. Nothing is easier in a Government establishment than to continue in existence officers, positions, employments, once they are created. It requires a determined, stony-hearted devotion to the public interest. There must be utter sacrifice of all sympathy for the place holder who*# real reason for keeping his position is that he wants the salary. There must be constant examinations to determine how.

forces may be reduced and duplications of work eliminated. Inertia, which Is easily the greatestCforce in government organizations, must be combatted at every point. TRADITION MUST NOT COUNT. "The fact that a thing has existed for a decade or a century—that things have been done in a certain way for a generation—must not be accepted as proving that it ought to continue that way. The men who conscientiously and Intelligently do this work must not expect to popularize themselves with the office holders or with the liberal spenders F.ven the administration which devotes i'self relentlessly to such work must understand that it will luse a good deal of Immediate loyalty on the part of a certain class of politicians, which will not be compensated to it at once In the appreciation of the public; for the public will not have the deep, immediate interest, or the active concern, which will animate the person who finds himself being pried loose from the purse strings “Nevertheless, thankless and ungracious as the task will be for most of thote who devote their effort to it, it must and will be attacked; It is being attacked with all determination. Something can be done, even pending the effective inauguration of the budget and the survey by the Joiut committee toward bettering conditions. In all the departments, I may say to you this sort of work is already progressing under executive orders within the power of the executive. We shall need the full support of eulightenod public opinion, and realizing this. I am glad that such bodies as the Academy of Political Science, the United States t'hamber of Commerce, the Engineering societies and business organization* generally are studying and discussing these questions Out of such counsels will come truer appreciation of the difficulties and magnitude of Government business, a larger sense of public responsibility and a highly desirable oo operation between public and private business for the com moo good." America's grief and America's pride for her warrior dead who fell on the battlefields of Europe were uttered when President Harding delfeverd a devotional address In Hoboken at a memorial service for the American who died in action abroad.

Standing amidst 5,212 plain, white pine coffins, each draped with the Stars and Stripes, President Harding spoke, and with a voice choked with emotion, while tears welled up In bis eyes, expressed the heartfelt wish that the manhood of the United States may n*ver be called upon again to go to war. Pulled out from the rest of the coffins was one containing the remains of Joseph Guyton of Company I, 126th infan try, who was the first American to meet death under the Stars and Stripes on enemy soil. He was killed In Alsace. May 24, 1918. The coffin containing the mortal remains of this soldier was directly In front of the President's stand. As he spoke the President leaned over and placed an enormous wreath on top of the flag-draped coffin. As he did so, he said: "In the name of the Republic, I bestow this tribute upon the casket containing the remains of the first American soldier who perished on the soli of the enemy. This opportunity was not chosen as a suggestion of hatred in the American heart, for there is no hatred in the American heart. It is offered as a tribute to one who died on German s<Al, as one who weut forward in the cause of humanity." The presidential yacht, Mayflower, bringing President and Mrs. Harding here for a strenuous twelve hours, dropped anchor in the Hudson at 7:45 today. Showers began falling Rhortly after the yacht arrived The presidential party breakfasted aboard the Mayflower. Harbo* craft met the Mayflower with a noisy greeting. A babel of whistling grew louder as tbe tiny white hull of the yacht slipped slowly up the harbor past lower New Y’ork and finally anchored off Ninety-Sixth street. The vessel came to rest in the. midst of a fleet of destroyers. In the President’s party were Secretary of War and Mrs. Weeks; Secretary of Interior Fall, Senator and Mrs. Knox of Pennsylvania; Senator and Mrs. New of Indiana; Senator Edge of New Jersey; Senator Calder, New York; Brig. Gen. and Mrs. C. E. Sawyer and Secretary George B Christian. A busy days’ activities had been mapped out for the chief executive beginning with memorial services for the American soldier dead at Hoboken, N. J., at 10 o'clock. Two set speeches were on the President’s program—one before the members of the Academy of Political Science at a luncheon at the Hotel Astor at noon, and another tonight at a banquet in celebration of the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the New York Commercial. Late this afternoon the President was scheduled to go to Brooklyn to review the 23ru Regiment of the New York National Guard Rnd It is probable he will make a brief address to the soldiers.

REPORT REVOLT OF PORTUGUESE Overthrow of Government of Premier Machado Imminent. LONDON, May 23.—Revolution has broken out In Portugal and the government of Premier Machado has been overturned, according to advices received here today. Army officers have arrested all the members of the Portugeuese ministry, compelling them to resign, said a Lisbon dispatch to the Dally Mail.

TWO DROWNINGS CALL ATTENTION - TO POOL NEEDS (Continued Front Page One.) young people out of the streams this summer, was estimated at SB,OOO, without shelter houses. A short time after this announcement was made the financial situation became such that the park board decided It would be difficult to dispose of bonds, It is said, with the result that absolutely no definite step toward provision of the pools was made until a few weeks ago, when plans were approved and a few days ago when bids were received for the Willard park plant. NEGLECTS TOOLS FOB GOLF COURSE. Plans for the Willard Park pool call for bpth the pool and sbalter house The lowest bid received was one for a little over $17,000, which was higher than had been estimated. The bids are now In the handß of City Civil Engineer Frank C. Longenfelter for consideration. Even were the necessary preliminaries rushed It would be Impossible to get the pool constructed for several months. This was the reaaon the board decided laat August It would receive bids for the pools Oct. 15. While the board ha* been neglecting Its promises for plsoei In which children of Indianapolis onuld enjoy bathing without danger to their live* It has been going ahead wlb a number of projects for the acquisition of playground site* and at least one golf course, the expenditure of money upon which would be sufficient to construct at least all of the playground pools promised. TO CONSIDER POLICING STREAMS. The matter of policing dangerous holes In the streams within the city limits until the playground and park pools can be constructed will be brought to the attention of the park board at the reg ular meeting Thursday. Mr. Lowry stated today. The park departmen last summer dls cusßed the advisability of stationing policemen along the ereoks and the river to keep swimmers out, but came to the conclusion that to do so would not be wise. It also has been considered unwise by the department to station life guards along the streams been use to do so would be to tacitly give consent to bathing therein. Tests of the water by the elty health department conducted last summer showed It to contain a percentage of typhoid and other dangerous germs *o high as to render the streams absolutely unfit for human occupancy.' Nothing has been done to render them any safer, so it Is understood the city authorities still are averse to giving con sent to stream bathing from a health standpoint. Mr Lowry said plans for the two large pools, the locations for which have been fixed at Brookslde and Rhodlus Parks, are being prepared but he gave no indi cation that they are to bo built Immediately.

Wurtsbaugh, commandant, believes that It is merely a boyish spirit of mischief that makes sailors absent themselves without leave and accordingly has adopted a Juvenile method of punishment. Captain Wurtsbaugh has established what he calls a "corrective unit.” This is known as the 18th Regiment. When an “A. W. O L." gob shows up he Is placed in the 18th Regiment under the care of a chief petty officer who is known as the "nurse.” The "nurse" gets him out of bed at 6 *. m , makes him take a shower, put on his working clothes and police the grounds. He has to take another bath and change his clothes again before lunch. After lunch he changes Into drill uniform and spends the afternoon In intensive drill. There Is another bath and a couple of more changes of clothes before taps About twenty-four hours of this usually is enough and the wild gob is ready to promise “nurse" ho will be a good boy. “Tbe plan has worked,” said Captain Wurtsbaugh. "When I came hers wo had from fifty to 100 boys going A. W. O. L. dally. Now we have from ODe to five.” , K. C.
