CONDITION OF DOG KENNELS KEPT SECRET Humane Society Charged With ‘Covering Up’ Affairs at Medical College. MEMBERS THREATENED Told They Would Be Expelled if They Revealed Facts to The Daily Times. W. H. Roberts, president of the Indianapolis Humane Society, declined today to deny a report being circulated among members of the society and others to the effect that the society’s self-assumed inspection of the dog kennels at the Indiana College of Medicine had completely collapsed in the last month. It has become known that at a recant meeting of the board of directors of the society, Dr. G. W. Butler, a member of the committee on inspection of the college, reported: 1. That he had been denied admittance to the laboratories of the college. 2. That when he Insisted on an Inspection in accordance with an agreement made by Dean C. P. Emerson with the society, he was admitted under protest. 3. That of eleven dogs found In two were in a deplorable condition, such as required the immediate attention of humane officers. One of these animals was found to have a broken leg. This report of Dr. Butler, who Is at the bead of the local Federal bureau of ani"mal industry, is the report which Mr. Boberts refused to make public foDo-srtng the board of directors meeting last Tuesday night. FROIECT COLLEGE FT.OM CRITICISM. Today, when he was asked if it were true that Dr. Butler bad made this report to the society, Mr. Roberts disclosed that the directors of the society had determined at a secret meeting last Tuesday to protect the medical college from any criticism of its use of dogs for experimental purposes by suppressing all information concerning thes? reports. Mr. Roberts made the following statement: “The Indianapolis Humane Society baa felt for some time that it did not bare the support of the Times. The misrepresentations mads by the Times, the character of its editorials on our work, the manner in which the society and its officers were held up to. ridicule convinced us of this fact. Under the circumstance# the board of director* at its last meeting at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday night officially decided that in the future it would give out no Information to the Timcp.”.. In addition, it has also been learned that at this secret meeting of the directors of the society, members of the society were threatened with expulsion and other "dire calamities’’ if they revealed to any one that the society was failing to give proper inspection to the dogs at the.medlcal college in accordance with ita public pledge. CKERK TOLD TO WITHOLD FACTS. It has also been ; revealed that Miss Jose M4any. the clerk o? the society whose salary is paid from the community chest funds and for whom an office is .maintained by the city in the police station, was instructed not to permit any information as to the activities of the humane officers to become public. As the work of these police officers must be reported to the chief of police, the board's effort to suppress the records of their activity also failed. The publicly announced intention of the Humane Society to inspect and supervise the laboratory work at the Indiana College of Medicine followed ‘the disclosnres in The Daily Times that stolen dogs were being received at the college and were not being humanely treated. Dean Emerson of the college agreed to the supervision by the Human Society and the society agreed to make regular Inspections of the place. Dr. Butler is known to have protested to the society and that he could not give the college the inspection it should have and the society has so far failed to take any steps to support him in his efforts to carry out the publicly announced intention of the society to stand sponsor for the college in Its treatment of dogs. At the present time?- the society Is in the position of attempting by a policy of secrecy, to cover up the fact that it is not keeping its public pledge to protect the dogs at the college from inhumane treatment.

The body of Corporal James Bethel Gresham of Evansville, the first American soldier killed in t£e world wdr, will lie in state in the rotunda of the Statehouse Tuesday unless plans for its transportation to Indianapolis are changed in the meantime.

1,500,000 MEN VOTE ON LOWER j WAGE SCHEDULE Unions Which Have Rejected Reduction Warned to Await Action of All Affiliations. CHICAGO, July B.—A monster referendum among 1,500,0011 railroad Vbrkere i was tinder way today on the question of 1 accepting tile 12 per cent wage reduction ! ordered July 1 by the railroad labor i board. Eight of the sixteen "big" rail ■ unions have already voted to reject the j reductions, but they have been warned by union leaders'll take no action pending j a vote among the remaining affiliations. The referendum was a “compromise” • adopted at a meeting of all railway union leadejs here for the past week. It represents the attitude adopted by the “big four” brotherhoods who counselled a vote of all rail union men before any definite' ; action was taken. The shop crafts workers, controlling eight Beperete organizations, already hare rejected the award. Their contentiofl, amounting to a strike threat, was overruled by the other 1 organisations. A resolution adopted unanimously by [the eight shop craft unions, was sent | broadcast to all railroad shop workers 1 today warning against any “local” actions. While the shop workers are bit- ! terly opposed to accepting the wage reductions, their leaders agreed with the j brotherhood presidents that the rail ; workers must present a united front In i their decision on acceptance of the award. ! The situation today amounted to a vote ’ among the brotherhoods and fouß other : affiliated unions on confirmation of the ! shop crafts’ rejection of the. award. Should a majority of these eight unions vote a rejection, a nation-wide rail strike I looms for Sept. 1. The vote, it was ‘ announced, must be completed by that 1 date. The rail workers have demanded a promise from the railroads that no fur- ; (her encroachments will be made on , either wages or working conditions. : Should the railroads give “bond” to this 'XTe et, leaders predict the July 1 ru-i-duetic® will be accepted, if the railroads ■ refuse, even the most optimistic of the I leaders admit that a strike is inevitable.

BUSINESS RUSH IS THOUGHT DUE BY NEXT SPRING Manufacturers of Country Expect Slack Summer With Pick-up in Fall. f WASHINGTON, July B.—Manufacturers in the L’nlted States, in the face of protracted industrial depression and the mounting tide of unemployment, are optimistic, and while they recognize the probability of a dull summer la most lines, there is a tendency to expect Improvement by fall and a healthy bustness revival in the spring of 1922, according to reports from sisty-flve Industrial centers compiled and made public today by the department of labor. The reports Indicate that the usual summer business s.ump had offset some of the lmprovemei * which was evident in May. and that Total' sales show that the public is still walling for lower pr!#s. The fundamental cauer-s of the present business depression, of which unemployment is on. of the most alarming phases, are cited by the United State* employment service of the Department of Labor as follows: Unsatisfactory condition of transportation with freight rates in many cases considered almost prohibitive. Lack of a normal foreign market. I’rosent low value of farm products. Stagnation In Iron and steel. High costs of construction. General dullness of the retail trade. Early wheat harvest in the grain States of the Middle West has relieved unemployment somewhat, but manufacturing, it is reported, has decreased iu the industrial States.

Row Started in Diplomatic Row bp Dry Ruling Foreign Governments Object to Search of Ships and Probable Seizure. WASHINGTON, July B—Diplomats row with foreign governments were in the offing today and tne Volstead law is again the root of the trouble. State Department officials may be besieged with envoys of protesting foreign powers, incensed because the United States may seize and search their ships for contraband liquor.' Fully conscious of the dangers involved, treasury officials “-today went ahead preparing regulations which may fall like a bombshell upon foreign e:Vrs. Foreign sblps, having liquors aboard and entering American territorial waters, run the risk of seizure by United States Government agents. Attorney General Daugherty said today that no course was left open to him but to interpret the Volstead law. as It stands, and this statute clearly forbids liquor-laden ships entering American ports, en route to other foreign destinations, even for coaling purposes. The British government, it was understood today, will be the first of the principal powers to challenge the rights of the American Government to trespass upon the privileges set up in time honored commercial treaties aud other agreements of comity and good will governing reciprocal courtesies. Practically every foreign diplomat in the corps at Washington has dispatched cablegrams warning his government of the likelihood of ship seizures and asking for Instructions.- These probably will be given quickly and probably will be followed by representations to the State Department. HUNGARIAN IMPEACHED. BUDAPEST, July B.—Count Karclyi, former member oL_the Hungarian government, was today impeached for high treason by national assembly on evidence furnished by the .revelations of Prince Windisch-uraetz.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, JULY 8,1921.

EDUCATION IS QUALIFICATION! FORSUFFRAGEi Dunn Discusses First Amendment on Ballot for Sept. 6 Election. POINTS TO OMISSION Marshall Constitution Provided Intelligence Test for Voting. Editor’s Note—This is the flrat of a series of article aOn the constitutional amendments which wilt be published in The Indiana Dally Times with a view to giving readers information and opinions such as will assist them In determining how to vote Sept. 6. By JACOB - ?. DUNN. The greatest civil service examination ever held in Indiana will be 3taged Sept. 6, next, when the people will vote on the thirteen proposed amendments to the State constitution. Os course this is a small test as compared with Oregon, where they vote on thirty or forty intricate law3 and amendments at one time; but it ought to give some idea of | Indiana's desire for the referendum, and the capacity of the people to use it intelligently. From ITast experience with constiI tutiona! amendments in this State*, ■ and referendum votes in other States, it is quite certain that many | electors will not vote. Some of them j are not intelligent enough to be lnterested in the basic law of their i State; some will not know what the I amendments are, and will be too lazy j to inform themselves; some’will not vote because they are afraid they do Dot know how. Ot those who do | vote a considerable number will vote lior or against all of the amendments from party or other prejudice. Some will votj against all of them for the j purpose of forcing a constitutional convention, by preserving all the present ills of the constitution as j irritants. If it were possible to get ! a complete record of how and why everybody votes it it would be both I interesting and instructive.

FIRST AMENDMENT RELATES TO SUFFRAGE. Toe first amendment on .U* ballot will bo that to Section 2 of Article 2, which, according to the published statement of the State election ’commissioners, "proposes to fir the time of residence required before an elector may rote at a certain place." This statement is unfortunate. es the residence qualification* sro not amended at ail. and other qualification* are. The one important sea ture of the amendment is the restriction of suffrage to citizen* of the United States- -natives and fully naturalised foreign-torn—and this .stone ihould cause it to r-ceive an unanimous favor able vote. Tha provision ta desirable not only as excluding rotors who are legally aliens, but also becauaa five years residence in this country is required before a foreigner can become a eltisen of the United States, and that is certainly little enough to enable him to become acquainted with our form of Government and our public problems. For the same reason, however, the local residence requirements should have been increased It is absurd to suppose that the average new-comer will boeome sufficiently informed a a to our State affairs In six months, and our country, city and township affairs in thirty days, to vote on (Continued on Page Three.)

Hoover Paper for Economic Clauses of Present Treaty WASHINGTON, July B—Under the tile of "What Next?” the leading editorial of the Washington Herald, of which Herbert Hoover is one of the principal owner*, today demanded ratification of the economic clauses of the treaty of Versailles.

GOVERNOR AND EX-GOYERNORS. DEBATE TAXES McCray, Goodrich and Ralston Diss&ree on Proposed Amendment at Meeting. By a vote of 8 to 2 the board directors of the Indiana Federation of Farmer* Associations today refused to’approve the proposed amendment to the constitution of Indiana which would give the Legislature unlimited power to prescribe a system of taxation. By a similar vote the directors refused to approve the amendment which would make the office of State superintendent of public Instruction appointive instead cf elective.

Met’KAY FAVORB TIIK AMENDMENT 4. The dis-ussion wa .j opened by Governor McCray, who said he spoke a* a taxpayer and a farmer and not as Governor of the State. He argued in favor of the amendments, quoting Fred A Him*, former president of the State hoar] of tax commissioners, as saying that tangibio property pay* 85 per cent of the taxes. "With this true, we cannot become very much alarmed about w’.iat the Legislature will do,’’ he said. "It is not possible for It to compel the owners of tangible property to pay a much larger percentage of the taxes. I am In favor of these amendment* ” He said he had it on good authority that there is as much intangible as tangible property in the State, although the former class bears only 15 per cent of the burden. The Governor mentioned the argument made by' opponent* of the amendment (Continued on Page Fifteen.)

He has decided to abandon his original policy of “hands off” in an effort to end what he considers the dilatory tactics on Capitol Hill which have run his legislative program into almost hopeless confusion. This is the exnlanation of HanJS ing’s sudden visit to the Capitol and his insistence to Senators that Congress shelve the soldier compensation bill and get down to work on? the tariff and taxation measures for which the special session was called. He will formally recommend this in a message soon, perhaps today. In adopting the leadership tactics used by Roosevelt and Wilson, Harding reverses his original policy which was to allow Congress to run affairs. FOUR MONTHS’ WAIT GO UNREWARDED. He has waited for four months carefully avoiding the least show es executive Interference. His ire was finally aroused by the eagerness with which Congres# took up the bonus legislation lu the face cf the protests of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and other Government fiscal experts. Republican Senate leaders are making plans to carry into effect the program Harding outlined to them at his visit to the Capitol. Nothing formal will be dons until the President’s message has been received, leaders said. The message, it Is expected, will lnclude; A recommendation that the soldier compensation legislation be deferred for the present, with detailed reasons why Harding thinks this course wise and a promise to the ex-service men that the Administration Is still committed to the principle of adjusted compensation for soldiers and will make good his promise at a rndre favorable time. DESIRES TARIFF AND TAX LEGISLATION. A suggestion that the Senate “expedite” the tariff and tax legislation which Harding will point out is the real business for which the session was called, by taking a series of three day recesses. Harding takes th* position that by thus limiting the session's work to Us primary task, performance of these tasks will be hastened rather than delayed. A recognition of the position of tji# “agricultural bloc” in the Senate, whose members are “standing pat” for enactment of emergency relief legislation for farmers before they consent to any recess. Harding i( expected to advise Immediate attention to such legislation.

HOUSE DRAWS LINES FOR TARIFF FIGHT WASHINGTON, July B,—Democratic leaders in the House came squarely Into the open today in their fight on tariff revision and they plan to make all possible political capital for their party. The decision of the House Democratic conference last night to Tote solidly against the Fordney tariff bUl,~gave tho leaders the united backing they sought.

The Republicans, however, are alive to the possible effect of the political fight to be made by the House Democrat's within the limited time allowed them for assaults on the tariff bilL They are preparing counter attacks.

President Stirs Up HorneVs Nest by Visit to Capitol WASHINGTON. July B.—President IXardlng faces today a severe test of his official and personal influence with his former colleagues of the Senate, Senators Kenyon (Iowa), Norris (Neb.) and Rapper (Kan.), all Republicans, declare they will fight to a standstill the President's own proposal, for an adjournment. They are among the leaders of the senatorial “agricultural bloc.” A number of Democratic Senators, identified with the “bloc,” also are lined up against an adjournment. Even some of the Republican Senators closely associated with the President and usually eager to comply with his wishes, deprecated the President's action in visiting the Capitol in an effort to whip into line the Republican majority of the Senate. They admit he failed signally to secure the “unanimous consent" of Republican Senators for an adjournment, however successful he was in persuading them that the soldiers’ “bonaa” ought to be recommitted to the Senate Furnace Committee; when it came.
