FEAR EPIDEMIC IN WAKE OF THE PUEBLO FLOOD Citizens Face New Battle in Efforts to Avert Disease. WASHINGTON, June Rosolntions. providing $1,000,000 for Federal aid for the flood district* of Colorado were to be Introduced in Congress late today by Senator Phipps and Representative Hardy of Colorado. This action was decided upon after a conference between the President and Senator Phipps and Representative Hardy. PUEBLO, Colo., June 7.—After four days of terror and suffering:, Pueblo vas astir today in an optimistic mood. The city and ita citizens’ nerves have been restored, as all fear of further floods hag been allayed As the raging, angry waters of the Arkansas and Fountain Rivers subside buoyant courage prevails. For the first time since Thursday night citizens’ slumber was not disturbed by alarms of floods. The churning, rushing waters of the eddying currents was replaced by the hum of motor patrols and the buzz of attempted bu/ness resumption. The total number of bodies recovered and identified is thirty-one. but estimates of the death toll range from 200 to 500. NSW MENACE NOW THREATENS. The day broke fair and warmer and despite the favorable effect these weather conditions had on the people, It opens up another menace that may prove more disastrous than the floods themselves. Disease, contagion and epidemic are threatened. An anti-fly campaign has been started, but it Is almost a hopeless battle. Dead animals are buried under wreckage In many ptTts of the city and atench from these carcases is already pervading the community, eeverely handicapping the cleanup work. The water supply is still Inadequate and water may be used only for cooking and drinking, it being necessary to boil the latter. SANITART EXPERTS ARE AT WORK. Sanitation experts of the United States Public Health Service are putting forth every effort to prevent the outbreak of epidemics. Smallpox, diphtheria and typhoid fever are reported from several of the stations. John P. Cornell, In charge of sanitary Work, expressed the hope that the threatened epidemic could be averted, but he ■aid that the debris, decaying vegetation and massed wreckage under which were hundreds of dead animals, may be too much for hls men to cope with. Wllllg H. Parker, city commissioner, stated that the property loss In the flood will reach in the neighborhood of $20,000,000, and that loss or life is impossible of accurate estimate. He believes, however. that at least three hundred perished. Hundreds of persons were trapped in the rush of water. Parker stated that the present urgent needs of the city are gas. water, lights and communication service, though the latter was rapidly being restored.

RIVER RAPIDLY RISING AT DENVER DENVER. Colo., June 7.—Reports from watchmen in the Platte River flooded area here at noon said the river was rising rapidly and that a widespread inundation of the city’s lowlands Is feared. Railroad bridges and wagon bridges are in danger, it was stated and residents in that section have been warned to leave their homes. A heavy shower was falling and reports from towns north of Denver said a steady rein had fallen there all day. Joe Richter, 40, was drowned in the swollen stream when be attempted to gross it. MILITIA BULLET CAUSED DEATH PUEBLO, Colo„ June 7. —An inquest was held today in the shooting of E. E. Withers, prominent citizen, last night. The steel bullet which killed Withers is regulation militia ammunition. Captain Denis, of the Rangers, and Colonel Hamrock of the militia were subpoenaed. Some citizens are loudly decrying Wither'* death, while others attribute It to hls failure promptly to stop hls automobile when ordered to halt. The coroner’s Jury Is thought likely to find that the killing was defensible under martial law.

RILEY RIVAL OF THE ‘SPEED KING’ (Contlnnvd From Page One.) ctl to ratify a contract for the merger of the Indianapolis Telephone Company and the Central Union Telephone Company and never did succeed, sits in the audience looking on, possibly with admiration. According to Mr. Riley the contract is the same as that which the State employment service has with the cities of Hammond. Ft. Wayne. Lafayette. Muncie, Evansville and Terre Haute. If this is true Mr. Riley's opportunities to extend patronage are grestiy broadened. But, he said, it is his intention to fill the positions in the Indianapolis bureau, which is to be opened as soon as suitable quarters are found, with men and women whose chief qualification is fitness for the 4ob. A budget presented to the councilmen as a matter of Information by Mr. Riley shows that he expects to hire one man examiner at $2,000 a year, two assistants at #1.200 each, one woman examiner at $2,000. one asisstant at $1,200 a year and a janitor at SSO a month. The rest of the $12,000 is to go for rent, at S2OO a month; light, heat, telephones, water, towel service and incidentals, k The contract, which is drawn under fe-etlon 5 of the employment bureau act mt 1919, binds the city to nay annually V-r the use of the State in the Indianapolis bureau, not to exceed SB,OOO. in installments as directed by the State. The instrument says the city is to furnish quarters, heat, light, telephone, postage and Janitor service, and that the States is to have the right to “select, employ, discharge and direct the work of such persons as it may deem necessary for the proper operation of such free employment agency, to determine the salary of persons selected and employed and the manner of their payment.” In addition to Its appropriation equaling that of the city the State binds itself to provide furniture, forms, and other articles which It already has on hand and to ‘‘secure, if possible, for one or more of the employes In said office franking privileges for mail and telegraph.” " The Indianapolis bureau, Mr. Riley said, is to be made a clearing house for the six other bureaus in the State and an attempt will be made to get a cooperative working agreement with bufaqus in other States. Appropriation of $2,500 by the city for OPpediture by Mr. Riley's State employes •bring the remainder of 1921 wouid fall under the class of illegal appropriations under the interpretation of the State tax law made by Attorney W. V. Rooker, in Circuit Court last Saturday. Mr. Rooker contends that no appropriation not listed In the annual budget is legal. The city's donation to Riley’s cause is not listed in the budget. When it is listed next fall. In the 1922 budget. If It Is, citizens will have an opportunity to remonstrate rqaiast It.

Organize County Board of Review Special to Ths Times. SHELBY VILLE, lud., June 7—Organization of the county board of review was completed Monday and the board asesmbled for the first meeting of its thirty days' session. Steve D. N.

PLANS TO LIFT CITY’S BAN ON PUBLIC DANCE (Continued From Page One.) SSOO each and r emuneration of them and George C. Hutsell. city clerk, and exofficio member of the board, for services as the board of canvassers, is put at SSOO each by the second resolution presented. The resolution was discussed before the meeting in a closed conference, and it was said that City Controller Bryson and City Clerk Hutsell had a heated discussion over the amounts, Mr. Bryson contending that they were too high. The board members got S3OO each four years ago. Soms persons at the meeting who learned of what happened suggested that Mr. Bryson, In showing opposition to such payments, was reflecting the sentiment of the News-Jewett Republican wing, of which he is a prominent member, and which has been facing the bitter truth since the primary election that Thomas C. Howe, their candidate for nomination for mayor, was beaten by Samuel Lewis Shank in an election kept cleaner than any primary Indianapolis has seen for many years by the efforts of the election commissioners. The News-Jewett leaders might feel that such service to the community ought not be highly rewarded, it was said.

RESTRICT LOCATION OF JUNK YARDS. No Junk yard can be established within 500 feet of any residence district unless written consent of 60 per cent of the resident property owners Is filed with the city comptroller, says an ordinance bearing a maximum penalty clause of SSOO and six months imprisonment, which was introduced.

In place of the Jackson place stand there Is created anew space oa the east side of Illinois street from a point 65 feet south of the north edge of the elevated tracks to a point 375 feet south. It Is understod that certain taxi interests are behind this measure. Sev eral councllmen .ire against It. It Is said. It has been ready for Introduction for several weeks. Councilman E. Miller brought It out. PLAN TO INCREASE AND LOWER SALARIES. The salary of the general foreman of the electrical department would be raised from $2,100 to $2,200 and wages of laborers In the street cleaning and street commissioner’s departments would be decreased an average of 22V4 per cent by amendments to the general salary ordinance read a first time. Another measure Introduced appropriates $3,085.20 to the Art Association of Indianapolis under a contract negotiated last week whereby the city agreed to assume part of new burdens of supporting the association which were claimed to be owing under the new State tax law. The other bills Introduced provide for the annexation of a narrow strip on the west side of the Myers road between Lafayette road and Thirtieth street, which the board of park commissioners desires taken into the city so It may be beautified as part of the boulevard system, along with the improvement of the Myers highway, and compel owners of buildings used for dwellings to place light of not less than ten-candle power upon each landing of fire escape under penalty of not more than S3OO fine nor more than 180 days’ Imprisonment.

PASS ORDINANCE FOR TAXI-METERS. All taxicabs which charge more than 15 cent fares must be equipped with taximeters under general ordinance No. 32. which was unanimously passed. Other bills passed were those appropriating $450 to pay appraisers of city property sold at public auction recently and transferring SIO,OOO from the hay, grain and stable fund to the gas. oil and grease fund of the fire department. IV 'en It developed that an ordinance for the establishment of saflety gates at the Big Four railroad and Avondale Place, Olney street and Sherman Drive, had not been amended so as to provide for flagmen at only two of the streets, a majority voted to lay on the table Councilman Jacob P. Brown's motion that It be read a third time, engrossed and placed upon passage.

Judgments and decrees of such court” and "of all criminal causes where the punishment is death or imprisonment, except where a nolle prosequi is entered or an acquittal is had, and in all other eases, at the request of either party, on payment of cos's thereof." County Clerk Richard Sip© stated that he read the order of Judge Collins and had placed Miss Birdie Billman as his deputy in the Criminal Court. Miss Billman qualified today and assumed her duties as deputy clerk of Mr. Sipe In the Criminal Court Mr. Sipe recognises that he is the custodian of all records under the law and does not consider that the last legislature deprived him of that duty.

INCREASE IN BELL ALARMS. A sharp increase in the number of Dell alarms Is noted In the May report of Fire Chief John C. Lorn ks. Os the 246 alarms received 104 were through fireboxes and 142 over the telephone. In April there were only fifty-seven and In March only sixty five bell alarms. Officials ascribed the Increase to publicity given the fact that in the disastrous New Jersey street fire last moatb fire pressure was not obtained in the water mains until some time after the alarm was turned in liecause the department was notified over the telephone and firemen failed to "pull the box” when they saw the blaze was getting beyond their control. Turning the key In a firebox automatically notifies the Indianapolis Water Company that fire pressure Is needed.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1921.

Quashes ex-Convict’s Suit Against Union Judge W. W. Thornton of Superior Court, Room 1, today dismissed “for want of prosecution” a suit filed In the court on Aug. 7, 1917, by Herbert S. Hockin against the International Association of Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers and members of the executive board and trustees for Judgment of SII,OOO. Judge Thornton dismissed the caso when Hockin failed to appear when the case, was called this morning, ft was reported that Hockin was ie California. “The case has been on the docket for a long time and has often been set for trial,’’ said Judge Thornton. Hockin in this suit attempted to collect money which he claimed was due him from the organization while he was serving time In prison from Jan. 2, 1913 to June 3. 1917. "This suit is an outcome of the dynamite case which was tried in the Federal Court,” said Judge-Thornton.

PEGGY SPRINGS LITTLE EXPOSE OF OWN MAKING (Continued From Fage One.) derstood that Charlotte Johnson was threatening to make trouble for him and was going to sue him. He begged his wife to sick by him, even If this suit should bo staited, because be would have nothing to do with her again." She ehargod Joyce had sought undue notoriety in his conduct of the case and that he was afraid to charge her directly with illegal acts of intimacy with certain men. She reasserted that Joyce had been guilty of fits cf passion and cruelty toward her. IMPLIES WAR RECORD WON’T STAND LIGHT. She implied that his war record would not bear investigation because "be flew into a fit of passion and choked her when she asked about his war activities at Miami, Fla.” She denied misrepresenting her charactur or her career. Peggy’s reply was her opening shot la the buttle to obtain $126,000 temporary alimony annually. Her petition will be beard tomorrow before Judge Sabatb. Attorneys for Joyce have declared they would submit further charges against J’egg.v’s alleged love affairs in the course of the hearing. Investigators for Joyce also were preparing data concerning the early life or Joyce’, "million dollar bride.” This concerns her early Ufa In Virginia where sbe was reared by a grandmother after her parents had separated. Her father, it was announced. Is a barber at Farmville, Ya.

TAX QUESTIONS LEAD IN PARLEY (Continued From Page One.) waste, not be so impatient as to try to accomplish and secure all needed Improvements now. Some can wait a more favorable time. We have builded at more expense and more rapidly In the last two years than In the whole history of our country. Let us be more patient, more economical, and practice In public Itre some of the self denial that changed conditions have required us to do in private life. TAXATION ONLY WAV TO MEET PI lII.IC DEBT. "If we spend, w must pay, and the only way that we can pay publlo debt, is with money raised by taxation. ”W have Just passed through an orgy of extravagant public exj- ndltureg occasioned by the unusual conditions ,m----posed by our entry Into the World War. Private extravagance followed In Its wake, undermining the social structure of our country. We are slowly recovering. Business is being readjusted. Most people are turning conser-.utivc and fight lng personal extravagances. This spirit should control public expenditures until the vast burden of debt imposed by our entry into the war Is reduced. But expenses as they a re must lx* met, and in raising this money through taxation, Justice demands that th, ( burden be equitably and fairly dlstr buted.” In replying to the argument made by Mr. Wolcott, Mr. Dowling said Mr. Wolcott had attempted to point out why classification for taxation is a cure-all for nil tax Ills. “It Is not the possible change In the tax system but the certain change In the system that we fear,” he said. He pointed out that the resolution for a taxation amendment as Introduced In 1919 carried a title which stated fthe purpose was to provide for the classification of property, while the resolution as adopted in 1921 had nothing to say concerning classification. “This apparently menns that the hands of the Legislature are untied,” he said. “In other words. It Is not the possible radical change. It Is the certain radical change. ASKS QUESTION—ANSWER! IT. ’’Do yon suppose for one instant that the Legislature will re enact wbat we have today/ No man believes that will be the outcome of the next session of the Legislature. The members will say they are commanded by this amendment to enact something different. “Those who favor the amendment answer that we should trust with childlike confidence to the wisdom and discretion of the Legislature. But often legislative* wisdom is legislative folly and legislative discretion Is lyglslatlvo Indiscretion.”

lie declared that other amendments at tempt to curb the power of the Legislature eoncerning appropriation bills and coneemlng salary increases and extensions of terms of office, but that at the same time the same persons who favor these amendments favor giving the assembly a free hand in matters of taxation. “Why didn't they strike out the taxation section altogether?" Mr. Dowling demanded "They didn’t trust the Legislature that far. They provided that it must enaet some system of taxation. Can we trust the Legislature to make wise classifications when again and again the Supreme Court has been called on to strike down classifications made by the Legislature?” TELLS OF SIMILAR ACTION IN KENTUCKY. Mr. Iluffaker. whose talk opened the afternoon session, told of the operation of similar amendments in Kentucky and spoke of them ns highly successful in obtaining a fairer system of taxation and in bringing out taxable property. “Taken all in all, Kentucky is proud of her system of taxation, is pleased to promote Integrity among the citizens and taxpayers, to encourage thrift nnd wealth and promote manufacturing," he said. “She is pleased to invite business within her borders with a feeling that only fair, just and reasonable taxes will be imposed. “I can wish Indiana no better fortune that to secure a tax law as satisfactory and equitable as Kentucky now enjoys.” The talk of Mr. Lyons had to do entirely with the operation of the income tax system in the State of Wisconsin. He explained this system in detail and spoke of It as highly successful. The set talks were followed by general discussion of the questions brought up |by the proposed amendments. In the audience were the members of the tax board, members of the Legislature, former Governor James P. Goodrich and many others of promitamce.

COUNCIL’S RIGHT TO MONEY ALSO DEPENDS ON IF (Continued From Page One.) be established by the proper legal officers of any municipal corporation after the formulation tnd publication by them of a budget on forms prescribed by the State board of accounts showing in detail the money proposed to be expended during the succeeding year, the valuation of all taxable property within the jurisdiction and the rate of taxation which it is proposed to establish, and after a public hearing within the jurisdiction at which any taxpayer shall have a right to be heard thereon. • • • The several tax levies as established by the proper legal officer of any municipal corporation and as reported by the county auditor to the State board of tax’ commissioners, as provided for In section 107 and 199 of this act, shall stand as the tax levies of such municipal corporation for the year next succeeding for the purposes set out In the report of the county auditor as certified to the State board of tax commissioners, subject to the right of appeal therefrom to the Btate board of tax commissioners. * * •” SAYS APPROPRIATIONS WERE NOT LEGAL. According to the position taken by Mr. Rooker, the actions of the Marion County Council in appropriating certain amounts from the “general fund” to specific funds for purposes not stated In the budget for this year is illegal. Admitting that he has not gone info the subject brought to the stage of court controversy by Mr. Rooker, the county auditor is of the opinion that if Mr. Rooker is right in his contention, the 1920 tax law virtually “wipes out the act cresting the county council.” Under section 5933 of Burns’ Annotated Indiana Statutes, revision of 1908, this power Is given to the county council: “The power of making appropriations of money to be paid out of the county treasury shall be vested exclusively In such council, and. except as in this act otherwise expressly provided, no money shall be drawn from such treasury but In pursuance of appropriations so made.” According to Mr. Hooker's Idea of the 1920 tax law, the county council and the county auditor are bound to permit of the expenditure of money from the county treasury only as provided for in the budget. It means, If Mr. Hooker's Idea of the 1920 tax law Is correct, that the county council can not appropriate lavishly the public money for any purpose. The expenditure of all public money is controlled, with the exception of bond Issues, by the provisions of the budget for the year It controls.

G. A. R. PROPOSES TO MEET HERE A possibility that the Grand Army of the Republic inay be invited to hold its annual encampment In Indianapolis again this fall developed today when it waa learned that men high in the veterans* organization have approached city councllmen to learn If they would appropriate approximately $25,000 to defray expenses of the meeting. The matter was discussed In a closed conference before the council meeting Monday evening, coming up during a discussion of an ordinance appropriating $8,500 to the Marlon County Council of the American Legion to meet expenses of the Fourth of July celebration. The O. A. R . It wag learned, has had only two invitations from cities desiring the annual encampment. One is on the Atlantic and tho other on the Pacific spaboard, both of which, in the minds ol national officers, nre unsuitable from the standpoint of transportation. Indianapo lis, because it Is near the center of population, Is an ideal place for the veterans to gather, and national officers have pointed ont that it would be no smalt honor for this city to have the encampment two years In succession, sometbfsg which has never been done before.

Human Bodies Are Poisoned by Their Own Waste. Most Illnesses Are Preventable. The human body has to be heated and fine foods burned inside the body produce much waste. All this waste should be removed from the body regularly, thoroughly, daily, by the eliminative organs,—which are the bowels, kidneys, skin, and to some extent the lungs. These should ect in harmony .—if the bowels are inactive extra effort is required of the others, which easily become deranged. Many medicines will force bowel action temporarily but the after-effects are harmful. Many remedies re advertised, some of which have proven year after year to be reliable, efficient, and without harmful action or effect. Take Beecham’s Pills for example. For over 70 years Beecham’s has been a household word all over the world. 70 years of use by all sorts of folks, men, women and even children, have proven first, that Beecham’s Pills do what is claimed for them; second, that they are harmless, do not produce bad effects. Some medicine forces Nature to unnatural action. Other medicines, like those contained in Beecham’s Pills assist Nature, act mildly, persuade and hence produce no harmful effects. It is common to find families in which Beecham’s have been used by several generations, their use hantied down from father to son and from mother to daughter. That’s the best possible recommendation ft>r any remedy. Every druggist sells Beecham’s, is glad to do so because he knows that their reputation has been won by merit.
