U. S. TO DROP SHIPPING JOB IN FEW YEARS Financial Loss and Criticism Determine Course of Administration. HARDING TO GIVE WORD WASHINGTON, June IL—Tbe United States Government Is going to get out of the shipping business just as fast as Is consistently possible. • Already having suffered financial losses that mount high Into the millions in the operation of the Government fleet, facing a net loss of nearly three billions In the liquidation of the shipping board's affairs, and with the whole shipping situation a prolific source of criticism and condemnation in Congress, Administration leaders have decided that the best thing to do for the Government and for the further development of the Nation's mercantile Interests generally is to get out of the business, bag and baggage, and leave to private enterprise the task of keeping the American Flag on the seven seas. HARDING TO ZAm DOWN POLICY, This will be the policy laid down by President Harding himself next week when he meets with the new shipping board for tbe first time to take an inventory of the situation. The board will organize Monday and on Tuesday It will meet with the chief executive to hear an outline of policy. The length of time recessary to get the Government out of the shipping business with the least financial loss Is problematical. Some of President Hard- ; Ing's advisers think it will take two years, others are of the opinion the Job cannot be accomplished under three. In any event it is not expected that the ! new chairman, Albert D. Lasker, of Chicago, will serve out the six-year term to ! which he has been appointed. LIQUIDATION KNOTTY PROBLEM. The manner in which the liquidation j of the Government’s venture Into the •hipping business is to be accomplished ] Is the problem that Is proving a knotty , one for the Administration. The liquidation will be a slow process and designed to extract the last possible penny for the benefit of the Government, It was said. But the end is in sight—the Government, under the administration policy, ; Is going to get ont of the shipping bust- | ness and stay out WRANGEL TROOPS GOING TO SIBERIA 4,000 to Oppose Reds in Vladivostok Area. WASHINGTON, June 11—About 4.000 troops of the remnants of General : Wrangel’s antl-Bolshevik forces, now scattered throughout Turkey, probably will be sent to the Vladivostok area of Siberia to Join forces there opposing the soviet, according to official advices here today. This Information has been given to allied officials in Constantinople by the general staff of the Wrangel forces which were severely defeated by the Bolsheviks In southern Russia. While the Wrangel general staff admit- ; ted that about four thousand troops, only a small part of the old anti-80l- i shevlk forces may be sent to Siberia, It denied to allied officials that any large part of the old Wrangel force was going to Siberia under Japanese support. This latest development in the tangled Siberian situation was considered signifi- j cant here, as it is obvious that none of the old Wrangel troops *• sent ’on tl|e long Journey fre\a Turkey to eastern'Siberia without some outside aid. these forces being in a serious state of refugee. Three Bandits Steal Six Pouches of Mail ARION, lowa, June IL—Postal authorities today Investigated the robbery of Six pouches of mail consigned to Chicago from Sioux City and points in South Dakota by three bandits who overpowered E. L. Graule, telegraph operator guarding ;he mail at the station here last night. The men escaped in a big motor car. Sraule said.

PARIS ‘WICKEDEST IN ) CELEBRATION OF ARTISTS ’ BALL Feminine Revelers Dress Perilously Close to Eve—Joy Water Flows. PARIS, June 11.—Even Paris gasped this morning when It opened Its eyes and saw the closing scenes of the >.rt students’ ball. There were more participants and less clothing a’t this ball than at any previous staging of the annual event. The dance began at Lnna Park last night, but hours after sunrise today the students, both men and women, had scattered all over the city—some apparently trying to get home; others evidently not caring where they went. Costumes worn at the ball were supposed to be replicas of those In vogue in ancient Carthage. Many of the revel- , lers, however, went a few centuries farther back for their Inspiration and were perilously close to emulating the extreme ! decollette of the Garden of Eden. The ball reached a climax at daybreak and some of the less tardy decided to call It a night and go home. It was then that many very unVolstead Incidents occurred. Many of the students were unable to find taxis, while others Just couldn't see the taxis, anyway. Still others, who had boarded tbe cruising automobiles, had neglected to Inform the chauffeurs of their destination. These machines were parked along the curbs in various parts of the city, the revellers asleep In each others arms and the driver snoring contentedly on the seat. Dancers in groups of three to a dozen reeled along the streets and boulevards, shouting and singing, until the dismayed gendarmes shooed them on to the less prominent thoroughfares. The few Americans who arose early heaved a sigh of relief at this evidence that tales they had beard of the city's j "wickedness” were not all inventions. The “so this is Paris” with which they | punctuated their arrival was succeeded by “Well, this ‘ls’ Paris.” FINDS FAULT IN JAY CO. BRIDGE Field Examiner Reports Con-| tract Breach. Contractors who constructed a bridge j over the Salamonia River, In Green Township, Jay County, will be required to reconstruct the abutments, following discovery of lack of fulfillment of specifications In erecting the bridge, according to a report filed today with the State board of accounts by A. L. Donaldson, field examiner. Investigation of th? case of Mr. Donaldson reveals tbe fact, according to the report, that the company lacked five and one-half barrels of using one-balf the amount of cement required by the speci- j ficatlons in erecting the bridge. Mr. J Donaldson reported he had Instructed the Jay County commissioners not to make any settlement In the matter other than to order the contractors to reconstruct the abutments. This, they say, will be done. The county commissioners of Tippecanoe County have proceeded Illegally In the matter of completion of the Dresser road in that county, and will be required to halt the sale of bonds to finance the completion of a road left unfinished by j contractors, according to another report filed by Mr. Donaldson. The contract for constructing the road was awarded to Slattery & Burke, Lafay- ■ ette. Jan. I, 1019. the road, 2.85 miles in length to be built at a price of $39,000, | and to be built of brick. This was a price of $23,585.83 per mile. The contractors completed only 1.26 j miles, for which they were paid $35,- I 749.06, Feb. 2, 1920, and since that date no further work was done on the road. ! The commissioners re-let the contract to S. S. Palma at a price of $128,000, or $81,581.60 per mile. This price was de- j dared excessive by Mr. Donaldson. He claims that unless proof Is furnished j that, according to the estimate, the price Is not excessive, the bonds ordered sold I by tbe commissioners, for paying for : tbe completion cannot be lagaliy Bold. He says so far the proceedings In the case have been Irregular and have reached the stage where action should be taken to save the county from further loss. DEES OF SLEEPING SICKNESS.

ROOKER IDEA WILL NOT HOLD, OPINES ASHBY If Contention Is True Taxing Units of State Would Be Bankrupted. Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby does not believe the courts will uphold W. V. Rooker. attorney. In his contention made In Circuit Court last Saturday, that taxing units of Indiana have been raising and expending money illegally under the new State tax law. Mr. Rooker contend s that the tax law of 1920, passed in the special session of the Legislature, abolishes the so-called general fund by providing that every Item of expense for the year must be Included in the annual budget and the money raised by tax levies for every single item, the proceeds from which levies are Inviolable trust funds which can neither be added To nor substracted from by subsequent appropriation or transfer ordinances SAYS LAW IS NOT AS ROOKER CONSTRUES IT. Mr. Ashby has taken no notice of the Rooker contention further than to read news accounts of it, he said. “I am not afraid of that,” he commented, stating that he did not believe the courts would uphold Mr. Rooker for the reason that the intent of the law was not as Mr. Rooker sees it. “The State tax board,” he said, “wrote the law. Tfee city has proceeded under Interpretation of the law generally recognized throughout the State, namely that the budget merely is Intended to be a guide in the preparation of the tax levies, and there are no more levies than there were before the tax law was changed. The present levies are fourteen in number and are based upon specific laws passed prior to 1920. If tbe Rooker interpretation is upheld and there Is a levy for every item in the budget the number will run into the thousands. “For 'nstance, if the city Intended to spend a certain sum for brooms with which to sweep the city hall during the ensuing year, it would be necessary to have a separate levy to raise the money for this purpose and so on for every class of article the city buys.” PRESENT LEVIES WERE APPROVED. In suport of his argument Mr. Rooker says that the law Intends that every item- shall be covered by a levy because the law provides for a public hearing upon the budget and tax levies and that J once the hearing has been held and the budget and levies approved they can not ■ be changed. In other words, the law Intends that the public shall have something to say about how Its money shall be spent and no official has the right to change The deeison, once It has been made. The present levies, having been made under the old laws, were submitted to the State tax board and approved by It under the provisions of the new State tax law, Mr. Ashby said. This, he insisted, proves that the State tax board intended the law as It now Is being construed. “If the Rooker Interpretation were to prevail It would bankrupt every taxing unit In the State of Indiana,” Mr. Ashby said. “In case a fund runs short before the end of the year it now Is replenished j by transfer from another fund or by an additional appropriation out of the gen- I eral fund. The Rooker idea prohibits this, leaving as the only possible method of adding to a fund the negotiation of a temporary loan. However, Mr. Ashby believes that a temporary loan can not be made under such circumstances for the reason that such ft>ans can only be made in anticipation of the receipt of money from taxation during the same year. If a fund Is entirely used up and there can be no appropriation to it from the abolished general fund, there can be no more money in that fund during a given year. This being true, no temporary loan can be made because there will be no anticipated revenues upon which to base it •BASED ENTIRELY UPON IMPLICATION.” "Mr. Rooker’s contentions ire based entirely upon implication and not upon any specific statements in the tax law,” the corporation counsel said, “and therefore I am not afraid of his proposition. The situation is not what It would be If the law set out In so many words Just what the budget and Its purpose is to be.” He said that the law only states that there shall be a budget, leaving the form of it to the State board of accounts. The State board of accounts has never prescribed a budget form under the new

SEEK DISSOLUTION OF BOILERMAKERS Court Considers Arguments Against Union. Special to The Times. LA PORTE, Ind., June 11. —Revocation of the charter of the Lakeside Lodge No. 39 of the boilermakers, with its headquarters in Lake County, by the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers and Iron Ship Builders and Helpers, caused members of the Lakeside union to be known as "scabs” and unable to obtain work in the Chicago district except with the Standard Oil Company at Whiting, according to W. J Whlnnery of Hammond, attorney for Lakeside Lodge, in court here today. The 277 men of the Lakeside union were put on the unfair list by a telegram by one Individual, Harry R. Newbert, an official of the international, the attorney claimed. Only the Standard Oil because of Its size and unconcern for labor unions, employed their members. The Lakeside Lodge, therefore, seeks to dissolve the international union of 100,000 members. The case Is being heard here on demurrer after having gone through the Federal and Apellate Courts with decisions for the international. A lurge battery of legal talent from near and far is on hand to take turns before Special Judge John G. Yeagley of South Bend. “The action of the international is a defiant violation of the property rights of the Individual,” said Whlnnery. “The United States is prepared to go to war over the violation of the property rights of one of its citizens. If it were not, this would be no land worth fighting for. Its courts would be farces." Otbpr attorneys present were ex-Judge Charles E. Cox of Indianapolis, formerly of the Supreme bench and J. A. Cavit of Hammond, for the defendants, and former Judge Moses B Lary of Lafayette, formerly of the Supreme Court, with Mr. Whlnnery, for the plaintiff. Judge Lary. in arguing for the plaintiffs, cited a California decision which he thought had considerable bearing on the case “Instead of giving members of Lakeside Lodge the benefits owed them,” he said—“those of accident and death Insurance included In the constitution of the order—the officials deny the plaintiffs everything and even use the money they paid in for litigation against them, Ac-, cording to every theory of partnership,’ when one or more partners violate rules, the other or others has the right to demand dissolution. That Is what we are here to uphold.” Judge Lnry’s former associate on the supreme bench. former Judge Cox, finished his argument for the defendants In half an hour. “These plaintiffs,” he said, “only 277 in number, are trying to get a chancellor to overthrow an international order of 100.000 members. The Lake Superior Court has said, and oecause of that decision we concede that rne parent organization unlawfully deprived the local of its charter. If such be the case, the members can get their accident and death benefits in any law conrt. But what we contend is that the purposes of the national organization as set forth In the constitution have not failed, and until such be proved, it can not be dissolved, j The Lake County plaintiffs are not rep- i resentative of the parent body.” Exchanges of persiflage between Attorney Whlnnery and former Judge C°x in- 1 (Heated mutual doubt as to each other's veracity. Mr. Quvltt presented no argument r.nd Judge Yeagley adjourned the session, an- i nounrlug he would take a few days to consider the arguments before anuounc- 1 lng his decision. lie will mall copies of it to each attorney and they will meet again la La Porte on June 18. Doctors Baffled by Boy’s Condition MARION, Ind., June 11.—Overwork and cnxlety }n connection with school studies, are believed to have combined to bring on in Kirk Richards, 15, of this city, a condition which physicians say, is unusual. The lad Is suffering from what seems to be temporary asphasla. lie is unable to talk coherently and for a time Friday was unable to use one arm and one leg. He has been unusually dull In school tho last few days and hn* difficulty In expressing himself. While his intentions seem to be reliable, he is not able to make his hands co-ordinate. Physicians say such conditions are common in old age, and they are at a loss to explain the case of young Richards.

EXPECT MONDAY COUNCIL SESSION Appropriations, Dance Ordinance on Program. A special meeting of the city council may be called for Monday evening by Mayor Charles W. Jewett to consider appropriation of $22,500 for expenses of tile G. A. U. national encampment in case it Is brought to this city again this fall. Ordinances appropriating $8,500 for the Marlon County Council of the American Legion to defray expenses of the Fourth of July celebration and amending the public dance ordinance so that it will be possible for the police to come nearer to enforcing it than they have since it went Into effect a number of years ago, also will be considered at the meeting, if it is called. President Russell Willson of the council Instructed the city t.erk at the last regular meeting to lnclide these measures in the call for a special meeting If it is issued. The mayor is understood to have decided to leave the matter of approprlat- ; lng money for the G. A. R. encampment entirely up to the council. Several coun- | oilmen are known to be more In favor of making tbe encampment possible than they are favorable toward the passage of tbe appropriation for the Fourth of I July celebration.
