Under the pending bill, asphalt Is placed on the dutiable list, tvhlle previous tariff bills have carried this commodity on the free list. It was claimed by those favoring road construction that the duty Imposed tyould add millions to the cost of r ad building now planned by the several States and would defeat the purposes of Federal financial aid to highway improvements.

Action on the asphalt item will clear the way for the batch of committee amendments to the bill, numbering more than two hundred. Four major items of the bill hare been disposed of by open action lu the Houge. These are hides, which were taken from the free list and made dutiable at 15 per cent; chemical dyes, on which the three-year embargo subject to control of the tariff commission was permitted to stand; oils which were taken from the dutiable list and pat on the free list, and cotton, which was taken from the free list and made dutiable at 15 per cent on staple l 1 * Inch la length and over.

COMPROMISE ON YAP, JAPS’ - SUGGESTION (Continued From Page One.) rcticlent regarding world disarmament* Continuing his remarks on this subject, he said: “For a long time Viscount TJchlda (present foreign secretary) and Visconnt Kato have been indicating their willing-n-ss for a conferen-e such as President Harding suggested.” There is a current opinion In official circles that the conference will not take up the Shantung question. At the same time it was declared even If this issue were brought up It was unlikely that a satisfactory agreement could be reached. (Councillor Hayasbl of the Japanese foreign office declared in an exclusive interview with the International News Service yesterday that he considered Shan rung a question to be settled between Jaran and China by direct negotiations. He was of the opinion that it would be brought before the Washington conference). In foreign office circles it Is said that Japan may refuse to discuss ail matters that are already covered by treaties. There was an important conference at the foreign office Monday when the chief of the Asiatic Bureau of the Ministry made a report. The communication of Baron Shidehara. the Japanese ambassador to Washington, dealing with America's explanation of the scope and character of the proposed conference was canvassed. The foreign office is maintaining the utmost se recy regarding the Washington negotiations. None of the official* would admit that a formal rejoinder had been received from Washington giving detailed Information in reply to Japan's interrogation. ENGLAND READ Y FOR DISARMAMENT NEW YORK, July 19—" There are no two opinions in England regarding the proposed disarmament conference at Washington this fall,” declared Viscount Bryce. former British ambassador, who arrived here with Lady Bryce from England. “The entire British nation favors disarmament. ' he stated emphatically. "Personally, I consider the proposed conference the best way to arrive at highly desirable ends.” “Now is the time, if ever we are to put disarmament Into effect." Viscount Bryce, who will spend two months or more In this country lecturing, will take no part In the disarmament conferences. “I am here as a private citizen,” he said. “I am going down to Washington tomorrow—but not to stay. No one can live in Washington in the summer" “The trend of public opinion in my country is toward universal peace." Viscount Bryce said, "and it Is considered the height of foolishness to go on supplying large armies and navies." rAPER SEES CAUSE OF U. S. ALARM LONDON. July 19.—“ The military caste of Japan-is trying by might and main to persuade the people that the Washington conference ia a cunningly laid trap to destroy Japan." said the Dally Etpress In an editorial today. “We are convinced that the proposal of the United States la without ulterior motive and that its sole effort is to bring world peace If Japan refuses to participate we will be driven to the belief that she habrors designs incompatible with peace. "We have already agreed to the eonferference. Furthermore, we believe that American alarm over Japanese armaments Is Justified. Tbe facts compel suspicion.” HUGHES TALKS WITH SHIEHARA WASHINGTON, July 19 That Japan may clearly understand the attitude of the United States with regard to the forthcoming disarmament conference, the whole matter has been thoroughly dis-t cussed Ly Secretary of State Hughes in Informal conversations with Ambassador Shiehara, it was learned officially today. This is in addition to the exchange of communications with regard to the scope of the proposed conference, wh'ch has been carried or. through the Amerlcau embassy at Tokio.

While auditors said amounts taken prior to January. 1916. were small, It was said they may not be able to reach the exact amount in the present examination of (he books. The largest amount taken at any one time, Hormel said, was $15,000. HEALTH NEEDS OF CITY RUN INTO MILLIONS (Continued From Page One.) get some action. I don’t care whether it j be the mayor or the sanitary commission I or somebody else. 1 SAYS STENCH KF.UFS PEOPLE FROM SLEEP. ! "1 want to be able to tell my eonstl- | tuents how long we shall have to spend 1 sleepless nights along Fail Creek all the way from Northwestern avenue to the Monon railroad on account of that stench." There was fire In the eye of th" health secretary when he arose in response to permission from President Russell Willson to reply The health department has been the butt for criticism which Dr. Morgan has said he does not believe rightfully belongs there. He explained that the greater part of the $200,060 would go for the upkeep of the city hospital and that the remainder would be used In operating the sanitary division of the health department, which is concerned with inspections of food handling establishments, private premises for the taking of and such other measures as may prevent the spread of disease. That disposed of, the health authority oratorlcally rolled up his sleeves and gave the council some plain taik. “When Councilman Schmidt makes remarks concerning the sanitary conditions of Indianapolis he ‘s opeuing up a question which has proved puzzling to the health department for a number of years,” he said. "There Is only one way to say anything by way of answer and that Is to quote recent figures upon the death rate from typhoid. Our national capital, Washing!- n is first with a rate of eight deaths tier 100'**I of population and In-, dlanapolls holds the unenviable position of second with seven deaths per lOO.lfiO. And this had been going on for years. It ia because Indianapolis has been careless in her sewage disposal methods She has not kept a clean house nor is she keeping a clean house today. BLAMES CITY FOR SEWAGE CONDITION. "Occasionally and not Infrequently It is because of insanitary acts of citizens, but largely it Is because Indianapolis does not take proper care of disp sing of her aewage. We polluted our stream* year* ago and we do so today. We polluted White River until onr neighbors downstream sued sits. We can't sue ourselves. but It Is high time that w> clean house ourselves, because If we don’t do it we will have a scourge of typhoid that will put ns in first place se far that we will not git out for several years "But I feel that it isn't the work of the health department to put in sewers The condition at Twenty Eighth street and Fall Creek, of which M Schmidt enmpla’rs. Is correctly described. Hewer gas permeates the air along Fall Creek between Capitol avenue and the Monon track*. It is lecause of a faulty sewage system. They say that there is a drain sewer with an overflow at the point Mr. Schmidt mentions They say they have to have overflows. There is one there and there is a puddle of sewage which | you can't get within fifty feet of That is a problem which will require san itary engineering to correct but I am not enough of a sanitary engineer to say exactly what should be done. Recommendations have been made time and , again without effect. | “White River long has been too much of a nauseating problem to be mentioned it has made life unbearable for soma citizen* for a number of years. DECLARES CONDITION Ml >T BE REMEDIED. “In other words we have a sanitary condition which it is up to the city to get busy and clean up I've talked and preached It for ten years. It would take ton years to clear up the situation. I can only close by saying that the do partment has now completed a sanitary survey of the whole city and that a number of new things which the people never hßve suspected and do not know of, but will, before long, are contained in it. "As far as I'm concerned, if I'm re sponsible I'm willing to accept the responsibility. but I do nqt feel that the heulth department can control the laying of sewers, neither can it control the citizens who continues living In the city and maintains a privy vault. “Well continue to have this problem until we wake up and we'll have typhoid along with it. Any public spirited citizen will say It is a d'sgrace and I hope tbe time will come when we will be in position as a city to take care of this, to take care of it even if It cost five or j even ten millions of dollars Then we could go around our city to show It off ; to onr friends without having to avoid j neighborhoods filled with stanch.” “That would be a beautiful monument ; If we could do that, wouldn't It, doctor?" | commented Mr. Schmidt Inquiringly. lie i moved that the chair appoint a commit- j tee of three members to “keep right after this thing until we gat some action.” but j later withdrew the motion, announcing 1 that he will Introduce a resolution on the j subject at tbe next meeting. SITUATION HELD GROWING WORSE. “I was told about the situation when I first became a councilman, and the conditions are becoming continually worse. I believe the fault lies with the sanitarycommission. I don't believe any longer that the board of health Is to blame. And. gentlemen, this sanitary law has almost juit those men on the sanitary board out of our reach. The couneilmen are left out in the cold. But, 1 predict that we're going to get to the point where there will be an uprising and citizens will demand their rights.” The appropriation for the staging of the fifty-fifth national encampment of the G. A. R. was cut from 15,000 to $l2, 000 and amended so as to place control of all disbursements In the hands of a committee composed of Councilman Jesse K. Miller. Secretary of State Ed Jackson, Judge Vinson Carter, J. B. Reynolds, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and City Controller Robert H. ltryson ana then unanimously passed Men behind the movement to bring the encampment here for the second year in succession expressed surprise at the move but stated they believe it will be held the first week In October. It was understood that m cutting the appropriation toe council decided it would not support out of public funds the encampments of auxiliary organizations such as the Women’ll Relief Corps and Sons of

PLAZA HEARING NOW GOES OVER FOR ONE WEEK (Continued From Page One.) formed the remonstrance favored a soldier’s bonus Anna Mueller, 627 North Gray street, wrote that she signed a remonstrance against the removal of the blind school, tiut her name appeared on the memorial remonstrance. Elmer T. Jarvis, 1327 West Twenty-Third street, asserted that sn ex-service man presented him with a petition and told him he was obtaining boosters for the war memorial and soldiers’ bonus. Miss Ruth Gentry, 406 East Merrill street, said that she was told the petition was for tbe memorial. She says that she signed her name and that of her husband under the impression that it favored tbe memorial. "These Illustrations are typical of the communications being received by the Americai Legion committee in charge of the memoriai work," confined the statement. "Euch day the committee receives as high as five hundred letters in which the majority of the remonstrance sign era. write that they were told tlie remonstruuoe favored the memorial, soldiers’ bonus or other impressions which (he committee believes is not contained in the wording of the remonstrance. A* high as seventy names were found to have addresses which were vacant lots, olher signers live at Bridgeport, Terrace Beach or other places outside the city. More than a score of forgeries have been found and publicity given in newspapers by the committee. Proponents of the idea are expected to present proof that many of the names on the petition were forgeries, while on the other hand the anti-plaza forces are expected to counteract this by charging that the city legal department illegally took th petition from the hands of the city clerk and kept it for severe! days, and that if irregularities develop’d they may have developed during that intertin. Charges have been made that in some cases the true purpose of the remonstrance was concealed by Its circulators and that signatures were obtained t hrough misrepresentation. PERUSAL OF LETTER SHOWS SIDE LIGHTS. “Perusal of letters and statements, recently published, in which misrepresentations were charged, shows that In every ease the subject matter might have been pertinent to some phase of the plaza discussion,” said C. W. Miller, a leader of the anti-plaza group. "For instance many said they thought the petition was against high taxes. It certainly was, although it was a bit more specific than that.” “Charles A. York, State secretary of the National Disabled Soldiers' 1/eague, replying to a statement by N Clarence K. Martin, chairman of the legion plaza committee, admitted that he had urged persons to sign the petition as a mean3 of aiding disabled and poverty-stricken soldiers "I have taken thx position that a vast expenditure of public money for an over-

The survey showed that outside of InS touchers and 4,735 high school teachers in the state. Os this number 14,333 grade school teachers and 4,248 high school teachers answered questions sent out by tho board. 331 NEGRO M HOOI. TEACHERS. The sur-. showed that in th -iemeritnr> schools ero were 2,541 male and 9.570 female teachers, 231 u: whom were negroes. A total of 2.537 were married mid 10,535 were single. Those who reported they were supporting others beside* themselves totaled 4.638 while those without dependents totalled 7.5U5. The ages of “the elementary teachers were given ua follows: Under 20 years, 254 men and 1,277 women; 20 to 24 years. 630 inert and 3,491 women', 25 to 29 years, 410 men and 1.751) women; 30 ‘o 34 years, 298 men and 1,055 women; 35 to 39 years, 226 men and 813 women ; 40 .o 44 years. 2ul men and 550 women; 45 to 41) years, 194 men and 396 women; 50 to 54 years, 155 men and 205 women ; 55 to 59 years, 100 men and 209 women; 60 or above, 77 men and 77 women. - A total of 9,968 elementary teachers ambitious memorial scheme will militate ngi f proper relief of needy ex-service men,” he said. Mr. York sad that the Disabled Soldiers’ Teague of which he is an official, is not Interested in tho plaza controversy as an organization, although many of its mem bers, Including Mr. York, are opposed to the plaza proposal. DR. TA V LOR KIKES TO POINT OF ORDER. Dr. Janies It Taylor, who has taken an active interest in the plaza agitation sees on effort to becloud the issues and In a statement sets forth what be conceives the real questions at' stake. His statement is ns follows: a "Mr. Chairman. I rise to a point of order This is what I would say if in convention tho same speaker? the Amer (can Legion, the city administration, the Indianapolis New? and others—were offering their present argument relative to the remonstrance iiow in the hands of our city council. “The speakers argue that the remonstrance is against the World War memorial. und that those who signed it are opposed to the World War memorial. Neither Is true. “My point of order is, that the remonstrance referred to does not contain a single word against tbe World War memorial. and not one of the 13.000 who signed, whether lie knew or did nob know its contents, could hove signed against the World War memorial “Asa matter of truth such an act woul have been ridiculous, because the Indiana General Assembly, at a special session on Aug. 5. 1.20, made provision for the World War Memorial. NAYS WORD OF HONOR 18 INVOLVED. “Let us history of the real question and the remonstrance. At its special session in 1920, as well as at its regular session in 1921, the Legislature declined to pass a bill giving the city of Indianapolis and Marion County the right to exercise au option to purchase two city blocks (ground bounded by North, Vermont, Pennsylvania and Meridian streets) and give the same to the State as a part of the World War Memorial, and such would have been its ultimate destiny, had not the American Legion and its friends, with an indefatigable energy, prayed for a reconsideration of the “Plaza Bill," and promised upon their sacred word of honos, that a referendum clause should be attached thereto. (Are they not possessed of that soldierly courage, and American pride to see to it that their sacred word of honor be not violated?) “The prayer to the Legislature was granted and the bill was reconsidered, came to a f6te and was passed with the provision that if 5 per cent of the qualified voters of the eitytpf Indianapolis and j Marion County signed a remonstrance, it I should go to a, referendum.

The ages of high *■ hool teachers were given as follows: Under 20 years, 294 men and 127 women ; 20 to 24 years, .’tgt men and 697 women ; 25 to 29 years, 235 men and 631 women; 30 to 34 years, 197 men and 342 women; 3.5 to 39 years, 123 men and 195 women; 40 to 44 years, 100 men and 121 women ; 45 to 49 years. 64 men and 91 women; 50 to 54 yeats. 66 man and 51 women: 55 to 59 years. 9 men nnd 32 women; 60 and above, 47 men and 14 women. At the meeting attention was called to the fact that the Attorney General has given opposite opinions on the operation of the attendance officer law. but no decision was reached as to what course should be followed. One opinion held that attendance officers must be grad nates of public schools and the other that persons who had an equivalent of a public school education could be employed *Ti e board agreed to defer action on the recognition of Evansville College as a standard college until the school can complete Us building program.

RE MO NST RAN C E El LED IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW “Within thirty days after the second publication of said declaratory resolution, a remonstrance drawn in accordance with a provision made by the Indiana Genera! Assembly (and in harmony with the prayer and sacred promise of the American Legion and its friends), containing several thousand names in excess of the requisite 5 per cent of the qualified voters of tile city of Indianapolis and Marion County, was filed with the city council. "Again I Insist on my point of order—that in all subsequent dlscusions everybody confine hiinseif to the real question ‘before the house,’ namely, the referendum. "As soon as the city council enacts an ordinance which will cause said declaratory resolution to be submitted to the qualified voters of this city for their approval or rejection, then, and not until then, shall I feel disposed to enter into a discussion of the merits of the plaza scheme. "There are two sides to every question, and when the proper time arrives the proposition of the plaza scheme should receive the earnest, conscientious and patriotic consideration of every citizen of our ‘no mean city,’ but the arguments pro and con should be confined strictly within the bounds of truth and fairness."

Next, the mine workers want to seize our property.” INVESTIGATORS HOWL FRAME-UP IN NAVAL QUIZ Franklin D. Roosevelt Directed Practice of Immoral Acts in Vice Crusade, Charge. WASHINGTON, July 10. Serious charges of the most revolting-nature inneetion with vice investigations ah the Naval Training Station, at Newport, R. I . in 1919. were expected to be aired today by the report of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee, which conducted an investigation of th’ charge. The committee, in its report, declare* that "immoral acts were practiced under instructions or suggestions by a number o* the enlisted personnel of the United State Navy, in and out of uniform, for tho purpose of securing evidence—and authorization for the use of the*e enlisted men as operators or detectives jvere given both orally and in writing to Lieutenant Hudson, by Assistant Secretary Franklin D. Roosevelt, with the knowledge and consent of Josephus Daniels, head of the Navy.” Roosevelt was prompt to make reply to the charge*. He charged "bad faith” on the part of Senator Ball of Delaware, chairman of the investigating committee. in failing to permit him to make a complete statement of his side of the | case. “As an American, irrespective of party one hates to se the United States Navy, 3n organization of the Nation, not of party, used as a vehicle foY cheap ward politics," Roosevelt said. “It rather amuses me to know that these Republican Senators consider me worth while attacking so maliciously and savagely, i Perhaps they may later on learn what a boomerang is." Roosevelt dentes that he knew of the investigating methods being used at Newport and states that when he learned of the conditions he gave immediate ori ders to stop it. [ The committee recommends a thorough investigation of naval court-martial meth nds, charging that men were imprisoned for long periods before being brought to trial.
