VAN NUYS TALKS TO EDITORS ON AMERICANISM Democratic State Committee Indicates Party’s Stand on Amendments. SPEAKER RAPS HARVEY By a Staff Correspondent. TURKEY RUN STATE PARK. Ind., June 11. —The question of immigration does not hinge on the numjof immigrants, but the kind o* that are allowed to enter this country, Fred Van Nuys, United States district attorney, told Democratic editors and party workers assembled here today in the annual midsummer meeting of the Democratic State Editorial Association. Mr. Van Nuys in his speech talked largely on Americanism and the problems of the future as they relate to this subject. The Democratic committee, which is meeting In conjunction with the editors took up the formulation of the party's stand on the proposed amendments to the Indiana constitution. From preliminary discussions it seemed probable that the Democrats will go on record as opposed to the two proposed tax amendments on ths theory that they will confer through the Legislature unbridled powers on the State tax board. REALIZES TASK THAT IS FACED. "One-half of l per cent is too much if it lets the Goldmans nnd the Haywoods into this country.” Mr. Van Nuys declared in speaking of immigration. “Let's determine at the source the kind of Immigrant we will admit, fix our standards high, and then Tigorously live up to them. “I am not unmindful of the fact that , It is going to be hard to do this for the reason that big business has Joined the sickly sentimentalist in a demand for un(Continned on Page Two.) ASK DECISION PUT TO VOTERS Petitioners Seek Referendum 1 on City’s Part in Memorial Plaza Project. Circulation of petitions in remonstrance against the proposed plaza project of the Charles W. Jewett administration, by which it Is sought to add the land bounded by Vermont, Pennsylvania, North and Meridian streets to the land set aside Dy the State for a World War memorial Is •till in progress despite efforts to squelch it. Former service men and women who k served abroad or in the various eanton- ■ ments in the United States are handling $ the most of the petitions which are being signed In most instances with a view to giving the dtlxens of Indianapolis an opportunity to vote on the proposed bond issne. The petition reads as follows: “To the Common Council of the City of Indianapolis. Indiana: In order that the matter may be referred to the voters for their approval or rejection “We, the undersigned qualified voters of the City of Indianapolis, respectfully remonstrate against the declarator)' resolution passed by yonr honorable body and approved by the mayor on the 19th day of May, 1921. In pursuance of act of General Assembly of Indiana of 1921. approved March 10. 1921. and printed as chapter 199 of the published acta of the General Assembly of 1921, under which act you together with the Marlon County Commissioners Intend to acquire land and buildings bounded by Vermont, Pennsylvania, North and ' Meridian streets. "We respectfully ask your honorable body to enact an ordinance which will cause said declaratory resolution to be submitted to the qualified voters of this City for their approval or rejection.” Persona who have signed the petition and those who are directing them are endeavoring to make it apparent that the signing of this remonstrance is not an act against a war memorial such as has been projected for the site of the School for the Blind and St. Clair Park, but Is merely a movement to put to a vote of the people the question whether the city and Marion County shall float a bond issue for the purpose of purchasing the two blocks Immediately south of this site to add It to the site given by the Suite. The legislative act that authorised the city and county to Join in the extension of the war memorial project also authorized a general or special election to submit the question to the qualified voters of the State on petition of 3 per * cent of the voters. The filing of a proper petition such as is now being sought will have the sole effect of submitting the question of the purchase of these two blocks by the city and county to the voters for a decision. Man, Convicted of Murder, Paroled John N. Murray, convicted in the Pike County Circuit Court, Nov. 20. 1910, of murder, and serving a life sentence in the Indiana State Prison, has been granted a temporary parole of three months, by Governor Warren T.

Lakelands is not to be found in the catalogues of fashionable summer resorts. It lies on a low spur of the Cumberland range of mountains on a little tributary of the Clinch River. Lakelands proper is a contented village of two dozen houses situated on a forlorn. narrow-gauge railroad line. You wonder whether the railroad lost itself in the pine woods and ran inlo Lakelands from fright and loneliness, or whether Lakelands got lost and hud died itself along the railroad to wait f> the cars to carry it home. You wonder again why it was name Lakelands. There are no lakes, an’. th“ lands about are too poor to be worth mentioning Half a mile from the village stands the Eagle House, a big. roomy old mansion run by Josiah Rankin for the accommodation of visitors who desire the mountain air at inexpensive rates.

Howe in the jirlmary campaign, were announced today by campaign managers for Samuel Lewis Shank. Republican candidate for mayor, as having been added to the roster of the Shank for-Mayor Club. The new members signed a pledge which not only gives them membership in the club, but also makes them members of a men’s advisory committee and binds them to put forth their best efforts toward the election of Mr. Shank. Publication of the list was regarded in political circles as a body blow to the disgruntled News-Jewett wing, which has been trying to show that the big men of the Republican party will not rally to the Shank cause and support the entire Republican ticket in the November election ever since they and their candidate, Mr. Howe, were so decisively beaten by Shank in the primary. LIST INCLUDES FIVE SUPERIOR JUDGES. Included In the list are the Judges of the five Superior Courts of Marlon County, who with Merle N. A. Walker were named by the Republican candidates at a meeting at the Marion Club Wednesday evening *.o pick other members of a committee of fifteen to serve as an advisory body to all the candidates. In addition lo the Superior Court Judges there are sixteen official* elected from Marion County, Including two other Judges and five members of the State Legislature on the list. Three city officials. Judge Walter Pritchard, City Councilman S. E. Miller and City Clerk George O. Hutsell, Republican Vice City Chairman Ernest L. Kingston and two well known Democrats. Robert U. Sloan and James Quear, also signed. The Shank managers stated that other names will be added to the list, there being a number of others who will Join the club but have not been approached because of lack of time. In obtaining signatures for the original list a particular effort was made to get the names of men known to be active workers for Mr. Howe. WOMEN’S ADVISORY COMMITTEE BEING FORMED. The advisory committee when completed will contain a number of men known to have been active workers for Shank in the primary equal to that of the men known to have worked for K. J.

June 11.—After exactly six weeks of delay since the Knox resolution was passed by the Senate the Porter peace resolution—a substitute measure of Republicans in the loner branch of Congress—was called up for action in the House today. Plans are to force the measure to a vote before 5 o’clock today after which conferences between the Senate nnd House will he necessary to iron out dis Acuities before peace can be declared. The House resolution probably will be considered on an ”air tight” rule which will prohibit the offering of all amendments. A hot preliminary skirmish was expected over the adoption of the rule, as Democratic leaders have determined to oppose it vigorously as a “gag” tactic. The main contention of the Democrats in opposing the resolution will be that it will jeopardize American rights, the claim being that Germany can easily refuso to grant this country the advantages which It would have received had it approved the Versailles treaty. A fight may be made by some Republicans to insert in the resolution requiring Hie withdrawal of the American Army of Occupation, but this probably will be opposed by thp Democrats who claim such action might encourage Germany to oppose the allies.

The opinion Is said to be held in Administration circles that Admiral Sims’ utterances constituted a grave breach of discipline and propriety and his subsequent utterances constitute!} an open affront to the Secretary of the Navy and the entire Administration establishment.

WASHINGTON, June 11.—The Stato Department was officially advised today that the next meeting of the Allied Supreme Council will be held about July 1, probably at Boulogne. The question of the Upper Silesian boundary dispute Is expected to lead the program of the council. Ambassador Harvey, who will personally represent President Harding, will not participate in this discussion as this Government holds that this is a matter purely European for settlement by the Europsaia nations. It has been indicated, however, that th§ question of mandates may come up and in this event Ambassador Harvey will present the views of the United State* on the Yap question, pressing for recognition of the claims of tho United State* that this island shall be internationalized. The Yap question has been allowed to lie dormant by the allies since the last not* sent by Secretary of State Hughes, and it is believed that when it is taken up by the supreme council that the view* of the United States will prevail. it has also been suggested that international disarmament may be laid before the council for discussion if the Upper Silesian situation is satisfactorily and speedily settled.
