HIROHITO SAYS HE FAVORS U.S. COOPERATION

Crown Prince of Japan Sees World Peace From ‘Hand-in-Hand’ Policy. VIOLATES TRADITION By WILFRED FLEISIFER. (Copyright. VKI, by the United Press.) PARIS, June 9.—"1 hope America and Japan may always be found working hand in hand, not only for our mutual benefit, but to insure lasting peace throughout the world,” Crown Prince Hirohlto of Japan declared today in an interview with the United Press. The Prince upset all tradition when he personally received the correspondent at his temporary residence here. •‘I hare long cherished a desire to visit the United States,” the Prince said. •'I hope it will be on'y a deferred pleasure." Being interviewed was decidedly anew experience for the carefully guarded descendant of the world's oltiust dynasty. ANSWERS QUESTIONS

WITH A SMILE. He was somewhat restrained at first, but lost the stiffness after the first question and smiled as he delivered his answers through an interpreter. A uniformed member of the Prince's suite, accompanied me into the presence of the Prince. Another attendant stood beside the Prince in the big reception room where the interview was held. As we approached the Prince stood rigidly erect, his heels together and his hands tight against his trouser seams. Prince Hirohlto lost his restrains when the introduction was completed. He shook bands warmly and smiled broadly, turning to the interpreter with a remark which was translated to me as: -HIS HIGHNESS” IS PLAINLY PLEASED. “His Highness is greatly pleased to see you.” “I thank his highness,” I returned in French. “Does his highness enjoy traveling?” “Ouil” the Prince broke in. smilingly, without waiting for the translation. The Prince again turned to the interpreter and spoke rapidly. When he had finished speaking he drew himself up again to military stiffness while the trapslation was being given me. “His highness*commends me to deliver to you a message to the people of the United States." the interpreter said. He then gave me this formal statement: LONG CHERISHED DESIRE TO VISIT AMERICA. “I have long cherished a desire to visit the United States and meet her people. I hope it will be only a deferred pleasure. “I know full well to what degree justice and freedom are valued In America end that no efforts are ever spared by her people in the cause of humanity. '•I hope Japan and America may always be found working hand in hand, not only to our mutual benefit, but to insure lasting peace throughout the world."

SHANK FORCES CONTROL PARTY AFFAIRS FULLY (Continued From Ps-ge One.) no sooner called for order than he an-; nounced that the candidates had decided to abandon the plan of making the com- \ mittee a platform drafting body and call it instead the general advisory committee. I He said that because Merle N. A. Walker was the first man named when the list was drawn up. he had been picked as chairman of the advisory committee. WISE READY WITH MOTION. At Mr. Wises invitation Mr. Walker assumed the chair and announced that he would be glad to entertain a motion if anybody cared to make one. Mr. Wise arose and read from a slip of paper a motion that Mr. Walker appoint a subcommittee of fifteen, t.J* which two members should be women, five the Judges of the Superior Courts of Marlon County and the balance. Including Mr. Walker as chairman, should be picked from the general committee, to serve directly as an advisory committee to the candidates. The motion instructed Mr Walker to appoint the committee at his leisure. Mr. Walker is a Shank man. Pr. W. H. Foreman, another Shank supporter, seconded the motion and it was unanimously carried. A conference will be called with the judges shortly, Mr. Walker announced. candidates' PASS IN REVIEW. The chairman then said that there being no furthe rbnsiness he would entertain a motion to adjourn. Joseph Hogue, one of Shank's campaign managers, made the motion and Mrs. M. B. Spellman. Shank women's campaign manager, seconded it. Before the question could be put Clarence R. Martin suggested that the candidates be introduced to the committee and the suggestion was carried ont. They were introduced in the following order, each walking to the front of the room as lis name was called: Mr. Wise, Henry 12. Harris, nominee for eonneilman of the First district; Theodore J. Bernd. nominee for councilman of the Fifth district; Lloyd D. Ulaycorub, nominee foi councilman of the Third district; John F. King, nomin-e for councilman of the Sixth district; Ben H. Thompson, nominee for councilman of the Second district; J. Herbert Hartman. nominee for city judge; John w. Rhodebamel, nominee for city clerk, and Mr. Shank. Then Mr. Walker called upon officers of the city committee. Mr. Lemanx. Vice Chairman Ernest L. Kingston and Treas urer Riley C. Adams responding. Mr. Lemanx. in acknowledging the introduction, came to the front of the room, as had the others, and took a seat beside Mr. Shank, who shook hands with him again and smiled at him. SHANK LIEUTENANTS ENGINEER CHANGE. After the meeting adjourned one of the candidates disclosed that the decision to change the purpose of the committee of forty into an advisory body was reached after several quiet gatherings of the men on the ticket had been held in Mr. Wise's office. Developments at the meeting proved that it was engineered and forced through by those who have the interests of Mr. Shank at heart, the News-Jewett crowd never having a ghost of a chance to dabble in it so as to gain them ground in their fight to have Lemaux retained as city chairman. The plan of organization of the subadvisory committee revealed the power of Shank and his lieutenants In such a way as to entirely discredit statements emanating from the News-Jewett leadera that the other candidates were about to 6wing over with them in their efforta to have Mr. Lemaux retained. If the Xews-Jewett forces had bad anything to say bout the method of selecting the committee of fifteen. It was pointed out, they never would have permitted the plan of permitting Mr. Walker advised by the five superior * judges, to have full power to select the other members. They probably would have Included at lea-t two other judges, who are understood to be so aubservient to the wishes of the Indianapolis News that they dare not come out tor Mr. .Shank. The Superior JuC *s have deftclared themselves to be for the entire ■Republican ticket. They are; William

Candidates further disclosed after the meeting that, having been advised that legally the platform should be adopted !:y the regular city committee after approval by the candidates, they had decided to have the declaration of principles prepared in this way. The interests of the chief candidate will suffer not at all through the formation of the platform in this manner, his manager said. Mr. Shank, himself, expressed pleasure that the move had been made and declared that there were Just three things he wished to be sure were in the document. He said he wishes the party to be pledged to law enforcement. economy and efficiency In office. Politicians conceded that there Is much wisdom in the plan of having all the candidates, their advisers and the city committee participate in building of the platform. Heretofore it has often happen. -d that the candidate for mayor alone up a persona! platform, by which, after the election, the other candidates, particularly those for city councilmen, did not consider themselves found at all. With all having a hand in constructing the pledges to be made to the voters Mr. Shank, if elected mayor, may expect the support of the entire city administration. SOUTH SIDE WOMEN ORGANIZE SHANK CLUB. Following the Marion Club meeting Mr. Shank attended a gathering at the home of Mrs. Edna B. Neighbors, Pleasant and Laurel streets, where the South Side Shank-for-Mayor Club was organized. The club is to be composed of women who intend to vote and work for Mr. Shank. More than fifty women, representing the Tenth. Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards were present. Predictions were made that the membership would run into thousands in a few weeks. A number of Democrats took an active part in the organization work. Shank women chairmen of the five wards form the board of directors as follows: Mrs. Edna B. Neighbors, Tenth ward; Mrs. Bessie Khinehart, Eleventh ward; Mrs. Grace List, Twelfth ward; Mrs. Cozetta Osborn, Thirteenth ward and Mrs. Nellie Bell, Fourteenth ward. Mrs. Neighbors was elected president and Mrs. Clara Lysle of the Tenth ward was elected secretary-treasurer of the club. Ciubrooras will b obtained In a short time. The next meting will be held on Wednesday evening, June 22 at the Neighbors residence.

In part, follows: "The Commur-i-t party of Amorlea is the nearest approach to Bolshevism in this country. You know the type of its membership. You can't pronounce their names. Y'ou have to sneeze ’em. They huddle together in some old. broken-down boarding house like rats and take about a* much interest in current events as a gold does in mathematics. They have three Incentives In life—rye bread, garlic and a leather belt, tilled with enough American gold to go back home and be a rich man. does not know why GOVERNMENT ACTIVE. “One of them went back home the other day w ithout his leather belt - Big Bill Hay wood, secretary of the 1. W. W.s., who jumped his bond and went to Russia to escape a twenty-year sentence in the Federal penitentiary at Leavenworth for anti-war activities. I'm glad he went. I , don't know why the Government is trv- | ing to get him back. They have forfeited his bond now and we need the money. W'e won’t have to feed him and waste good American pork and beans on him for twenty years at the Leavenworth penitentiary.” i “He's gone back to soviet Russia—the land of free speech and free bullets, and it is just possible that he may project his big Socialistic hulk In the path of one of those free bullets. If he does hell pill have to credit him as coming trom Russian and not from America, and we will Improve our batting average Just that much.” PAYS TRIBUTE TO LEGION MEN. Mr. Van Nuys closed his remarks with a tribute to the members of the American Legion as follows; “Remember that no set of men in the countrv have been so trained, have been so disciplined, have been so Imbued with the true spirit of Americanism as the men of the’American Legion." he said. “Three thousand miles from home, hi a strange country, amid strange scenes, battling for and against nations frn i zied with grief and passion, you boys 'who were permitted to get overseas deni onstrated to the world what a dependable thing and likable thins is true i Americanism. 1 “And you men who served at home and 1 conditioned yourselves and disciplined i yourselves In the different cnrnps of this country—you, too, are deserving of equal credit in this demonstration to the world of the stability of the American Guv ernment and the dependability of the American people. ••You accepted the responsibilities of war, and now, by your presence here tonight, and by the dedication of this |h< me. vou are demonstrating your eu | lire willingness and your fitness and ability to assume the burdens and reI spous'ibility of the citizens in times or peace.

CHARGE LUMBER PRICE COLLUSION Federal CommiSvSion Accuses West Coast Industry.

WASHINGTON, June 9.—Charges of price collusion an<l restriction of production to maintain prices were made against tho West Coast Lumberman s Association by the Federal Trade Commission, in a special report to Congress today.

The report explains that the association is mnde up of lumbermen and loggers in what is known as the Douglas Fir Region in the Pacific Northwest. The commission said between 1915 and 1920 wholesale quotation on fir lumber increased 300 to 500 per cent and that despite recent reductions some prices are still at the level of May and June, 1919, and others are at the level they were in the spring of 1917.

City’s Humane Officers Hold Speed Record, But the Glory Is Not Theirs Four Minions of Mercy Put in Full Day’s Toil Guarding Dumb Charges .

In6>napolis, known the world over as j the city where all speed records are i broken each year by automobiles, and | Indianapolis automobiles, at that, can now lay claim to speed of another variety. For if figures contained in their report can be taken at face value, this city has four of the speediest humane officers in existence. There are four of them, Gunsolns, Bledsoe, Gaddis and Spearis. And these four men have been working harder apparently, than any other employe who depends on the city payroll for his weekly meal ticket. These four men, during the month of May, had a total of 2,081 cases called for investigation by them, and they investigated them, too, for their report shows it. When one stops and figures it out, it is found this means that each man had an average of little more than seventeen cases to Investigate each day of the calendar month. This may seem like a small task, mere child's play, as It were, but go a little further, and see what sort of investigations were made, and the impression of a “soft job" will vanish. THEN THERE; ARE CHIIKt.X INSPECTORS. There were twenty-three cases In court which the men, or least one of them, was compelled to attend, as witness. This means that at least one of the men was In court, and an average of almost one each day, til of which takes up his time. Then there are chicken Inspections—poultry. There were 519 inspections of poultry made, wiiich means that one man must make an average of more than four chicken inspections each day. Keep In mind that perhaps he was In court also that day. There is an Item In the report which states 951 inspections of localities where teams are used were made. That means that In addition to spending part of the day in court and making inspections of poultry and poultry cars, the humane officer must make übuut eight Inspections like the above. Cases reported to the humane officers’ office, and investigated, amounted I to 162. Sandwiched in between the duties mentioned above, then, the humane officer must find time to run down at least one report each day. Then there are charity calls, of which two were made during May; barns inspected and ordered cleaned and repaired, of which there wore five; destruction of dogs, which Is an occupation for which not many persons long, of which there were three; one horse was destroyed; fifteen horses and mules were ordered sent to the blacksmith, which means that the humane o'fleer must have made an Investigation of cruelty to the animals; twen-ty-eight warnings were Issued for better treatment or attention of children, and, of course, there must have been un Investigation before the warnngs were Issued, and this Investigation must have been worked in alongside of divers other duties. ISSUED WARNINGS TO 189 PERSONS. Two persons were sect to Ole Woman's Prison, one to the Marion County Jail and one to the city hospital, and certainly those persons would not have been sent to these institutions unless an Investigation had been made. So that clips off a few moments more of the humane officers’ work day. The officers gave warnings for better attention to unimals to 169 persons, and certainly there must have been some Investigations along this line, else how would they know animals were being mistreated? Twelve horacs and mules were ordered ont of service, so the humane officers must have devoted a few “spare” moments to such cases for Investigation. Then there la one more demand on the time of the city humane officers That Item is not Included In the report. This demand occurs at least two days out of each month, and takes quite a bit of time. It is making a trip to tbe city hall for their salary. IT TAKES TIME TO M AKE Til AT REPORT. And when the officers have nothing else to occupy their time, they sit down and make out their monthly report, to see : where they have spent their time. • Accompanying the report of the officers. G. W. Butler of the committee appointed j to visit the Indiana Sehol of Medicine, • also submitted a report on the care of dogs at the Institution. It Is as follows: "Tour committee appointed to vlilt.tlw School of Medicine connected with the j Indiana State University, located on West | Michigan street, and to cooperate with I the officials of that institution In the humane handling of dogs and other animals used for scientific purposes, beg | to submit the following report for May j 1921 : “Upon an nnannounced visit to the j institution during the month we found j very few dogs, about a half dozen, and j according to appearances, these were be ing cared for properly. We were told j by Mr Neff, In charge, that operative work for class demonstration was about i over for the summer. He stated, however, that Dr. Hatch might have occa

An examination of the dogs at the medical college by us failed to find the lost dog there.”

MYSTERY ABOUT DEATH OF NEGRO

One Dead, Two Held by Police After Shooting Scrape. Asa result of a shooting scrape at 2218 Massachusetts avenue last night, M. P.

Police officials say that Stewart admits he shot Hubbel, but Insists he acted In self-defense after Hubble had come to his home, started a tight over a hat he said had been left there and attacked him with a blackjack. After the shots were fired, Stewart says Hubble ran through tbe house and Jumped through the glass of the front window. There is considerable mystery surrounding the case, which was first called to the attention of the police at 8:55 o'clock last night, when they received a call from 2022 Ludlow aver.no. There they found Hubble lying on the lawn with a bullet hole In his chest. He was ablo to give his name and was taken to the city hospital, where lie died in the operating room. Lieutenant Woolen was told by Eva Davis, negrefs. who lives at 2 22 Ludlow avenue, that an automobile had driven to hor house and that two men had carried Hubble from the machine to the lawn. They Immediately drove away but a few minutes later one of the men returned and said ho would get a doctor, tie then left and did not return. From Lester Parker, 2232 Massachusetts avenue, the police learned there had been a fight shortly before at the Stewart homo and on going there Stewart admitted he had fired the shots. the trouble apparently started over a hat. .Tune Pettiford. 2138 Massachusetts avenue told the police that shortly before K o'clock Hubble had come to his house and exchanged hats with him. Later Hubble returned bareheaded took his own hat and rau out of the house, calling to Pettiford that his hat was lu the automobile. The police say they found a bottle half full of "white mule” lying near Hubble when they reached him.

tbe Treasury Department declared today. The nation-wide price cutting which began Just about a year ago, had slowed during the last few months. Now pricecutting is to be resumed on anew and faster scalq, it is indicated by factors which McCoy considers Important. One of these factors Is an unusually big drop In the per capita circulation of money. In the month ended June 1, the per capita circulation fell off 88 cents to $55.43 a person, according to announcement by tbe Treasury. “This shows conclusively that prices are falling,” said McCoy. “It means that
