JAPS TO ACCEPT INVITATION TO ARMS MEETING * Reply Expected to Go Forward at Once Following Cabinet Meeting. CONFERENCE ON COAST TOKIO, July 26.—Japan's formal aceotanoe of President Harding's Invitation to Join In an international disarmament conference in Washington will be forwarded Immediately, following a meeting of the Cabinet this afternoon, it was predicted today in unofficial, but usually reliably informed, circles. According to the same source the Japanese reply was In readiness for transmission add would be started on its way to Washington as soon as the Cabinet session ended. The reply has been approved by the advisory council. HOLD MEET ISO ON THE COAST > LONDON, July 26.—The Pacific Coast of America may be the scene of a momentous meeting of powers to discuss Pacific questions. Dominion Premiers, according to information here, intend to recommend that the gathering proposed President Harding be held In a coast city. Another suggestion understood to be incorporated ir a note which will be submitted to Washington is that the meeting be moved up from November to late in September, or early in October. The note will answer Secretary Hughes’ message in which he disapproved the suggestion that a preliminary conference on the Pacific problem be held In Dondon. It was reported that the British will attempt to bring the question of war debts into the disarmament conference. Premier Lloyd George will take a corps of financial experts with hlin to Washington. The experts will b armed with information and proposals for the handling of Britain's debt to the l nlted States. WASHINGTON EXPECTS REPLY WASHINGTON. July 26. t final reply from Jtpan. Indicating a willingness to participate in a joint disarmament and Far-Eastern conference was expected momentarily at the State Department today. Secretary Hughes bad hoped the reply would be received In time to make possible a discussion of the wfcJe sltua tion at the Cabinet meeting, but in this he was apparently doomed to disappoinrment. The secretary planned, however, to present *o *be Cabinet meeting a full report of th* negotiations to date. It was mace plain that the conference plan, reported to have been presented to the British yesterday by Ambassador was purely tentative and represented the views of the United States as one of the participants rather than a definite program to be Insisted upon by this Government. That the Unite** Btates regards the open door policy as the keynote of he whole Far-Eastern situation Is freiy admitted, however, and it is regarded as out of the question that this Government should agree to any Far Eastern program which did not fully recognlxe this principle of equal opportunity. The reservation, with regard to Yap. referred to In reoorts from London concerning the suggested plan of the con feren -e. is based on the hope entertained by the Administration that a settlement of tbe Yap problem will be reached b*fore the convenes. An agreerr >nt on Yap and Shantung undoubtedly would do mu‘-b to r.arify tbe International situ -tion and would aid the conference msieri illy.

SNIDER & ROIZ DISAVOW ANY SCHOOL WRONG (Cootinofil From Pace One.) •nd Impartially bat one roneHision conid be reached, namely, that the prosecution of any claim against ns would nox only be without legal justification, nut would, riolate as well every standard of fair dealing and fair play, and that the State board of accounts would refuse to make of Itself an instrument of oppression and Injustice. “It is a matter of record that the contract in question was entered into by ithe preceding school loard bv nnani inons action, and was continued in for-e by the present board wi'liaut dissent by any member thereof. “Furthermore, it is conceded by the present board, and by all who have bad occasion to become informed, that the Indianapolis school city has received full value, and more than full value, for every dollar allowed under the contract, and we do not believe that the State board of accounts, or any official of that board, will deny that such was the case “As you well know, we have incurred great expense in carrying out our obligations under this contract. The contract has b-o>n in effect since Feb. 27, 15*19. and the objection first advanced in the report you h!iv filed is an objection that manifestly could as readily have been made at the time the contract was enrered into, as now. Nevertheless, the State board of accounts, though fully ad\iu 01 ,„e uutravt stood silently by throughout th' period in question and permitted us to rentier the services and Inrnr expense without criticism, or objection. , . ~.A( T IN< LI Phs NOTHING NMf. “Furthermore, this contract involved nothing new. We had f>r several years previous served in the same capacity at that provided for by the contract, in consequence of our employment from time time by the hoard; in fact a precedent Bil been established long preceding it B-igin any relationship between this firm the Hoard of SctaMil Commissioners well known to the engineering and arch! tectural professions of the city, to the officials of the s--hool city, aud the officials of the State Hoard of Accounts. "The second object ion to the validity of the contract in question involves the contract of March 2. 11*20. with Lewis A. Snider. a member of this firm. We are reliably informed that at tho time the contract just refferred to was under comdueratb'n by the board of school commission* rs the then president of the board dismissed with the St*-e examiner the proposed contract, and. though fully informed, the State examiner made no objection to the arrangement proposed but In effect approved it. “Is it equitable under these rircum•ances to raise now the objections Non have made in your report? The foregoing consideration* are not stated by way of defense to the charges made, but in our opinion should be called to your attention because we believe that common honesty and fair play should count as much in this situation as in the ordinary affairs of men.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS

tin or liability will appeal to Congress and the public alike. "The after war distresses of two great and fundamental activities have t'-'en riveting the anxious attention of the country. One is the r- adjustment and restoration of agriculture, the other Is the distress of our railway transportation system. "Pending proposals for relief and their discussion have already brought to the attention of Congress the very promising possibilities of broadening the powers of the War Finance Corporation for the further relief of agriculture and live stock production. EARLY SANCTION OF REQUEST URGED. "This corporation has proven itself so helpful in tbe relief thus far undertaken that I cannot help but believe that its broadened powers, as have been proposed to meet needs will enable it wholly to meet the nation-wide emerg ency. This is an impelling moral obligation to American farming in all Its larger aspects, and It will be most gratifying to have your early sanction. In

Mr. Snider's personal letter is, in part, as follows: "Since the notice to m° comes from tbe same source, and is the same in form. 1 am of the opinion, as to the extent to which I should respond thereto, that the communication from Snider A liotz correctly presents my views.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 26,1921.

HEAVY TOLL BY FIRE IS DUE TO CARELESSNESS Use of Electrical Devices Growing Cause of Losses, Statistics Show. Bv LELA B. CHESEIN'E, (Assistant Slate Fire Marshal.) Much has been said with reference to fire prevention but Just as long as the fire department is asked to respond to calls where absolute carelessness is evi dent, there will be need of further education along this line. One of the chief causes of dwelling fires is the numerous electric devices that have been installed In order to eliminate muoh of the drudgery of woman's work. Al’ such improvements are welcomed ud when properly used are a joy. But hf old habit of carelessness, with which the American people are self inflicted, usually gets in Its work and suffering and woe attends the tragedy. Tbe careless us*' of the electric iron is now the cause of 20 per cent o 50 per cent of electric fires. It has been found that owners of electric wnshirg machines are habitually overloading them, causing blowouts of fuses, which are replaced by fuses of toe high amperage for safety. Leaving the current on the Iron when not in use and overloading the washing machine are both preventable causes of fire and a loss of $25.000,000 a year from electrical fires with hundreds of deaths, chiefly among women and children, is too neavy a toll to pay for the American habit of carelessness. i-:*ch fire and its cause is reported to the fire prevention bureau and while some Bre front causes over which the individual seemingly has no control, the majority are preventable. We watch the reports with a great deal of interest and w’hile there are fewer calls lately, some very foolish and needless calis continue to come in. For instance what do yon think of these: Current left on electric Irons. 10: spontaneous combustion from oil mops. 6; pot of beans burning, 2; pot of prunes burning, pot of meat burning. 9: grease burning on stove. 5: paper over fine holes, 4; set fire to hen house while smoking out the lice, opeu bonfires, 40; tto say nothing of fifty-two scares and thirty four false alarms. But the services of our firemen does not end here. Once this month they were called to a home and. on arriving, learned that the woman wanted the police instead. Another time a man was | locked 'ut of his house nud wished the assistant of the ladder truck to gain entrance. A fire truck responding to the call of duty typifies law and order fighting dls order It is conservation fighting destruction. It is rescue fighting the destroyer. All these and many other things the firo trucks signify as they hasten over the slret-rs on their way to fight, to save and to conserve. And every time a truck responds to a call, the tqen on it take their lives in tbeir hands. Let no one add to tbeir hazard by causing a fire by carelessness
