RAILWAY LINES BEGIN SHOWING SOME EARNINGS Cuyler Predicts Roads Will Make Half Billion Net This Year. NEW TORK, Ang. IS—The railroads hare “turned the corner" in their financial condition, according to Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Railway Executives. Cuyler, in a statement today, said It wai hoped the carriers would show net earnings at at least half a billion dollars fpr this year. Further “drastic reductions" in operating expenses are necessary, however, before the railroads can make any general reduction in rates, he said. “As the result of the war and tbe period of Federal control tbe earning power of the American railwayg was practically destroyed," Curler declared “Net earnings declined from approximately J934.000.n00 in 1917 to approximately $6?.000.000 in If*'JO. “Development of American rallrotds Las been at a standstill for at least five years. Naturally, no Industry can grow when it cannot surely par Interest or dividends to those who invest their money In it. ' "My belief, is that the railroads now hare turned the corner. It Is ho;*ed they will in the agar* rate make net namings of at least SSO<\C\W,OUO for the year ot 1921." Cu.vlcr explained that such an Income would be less than a 3 per cent return but would cover the total of the’.r charges. "It will, however,” he said, “require further drastic reductions in operating expenses to enable the railroads to earn a 6 per cent return and to permit any general reduction in rates.”

TAXABLES CUT 22 MILLIONS LESS THAN ’2l tContinued From Page One.l 94.15 cents very likely will be necessary, according to Mr. Bryson. MONEY ORDIN ANCE COMES IT MONDAY. The annual appropriation and t3x levv ©rdlnanoes. together with the city budget will be introduced in the city council Monday evening at a special meeting to be called tomorrow by Ilussell AA lllson, council president. The Increase In the levy rill be in the general fond only. Mr. Bryson believes. Department® not opc-atlnc under tbe general fund will have to get along on less money than expected, the controller said. He does not favor Increasing any levyother than that for the general fund. The annual appropriation ordinance, which provides Kind* which must be raised by the general fund levy, calls for a total of $3,963,968.72. It was figured that on a valuation of S6oo.floij.tXlo about $3,600 POO of this would be raised w ith a levy of 61 cents, tbe remainder coming from 1 e s3sotaxi tnlacellaneous receipts. CTT IALIATIOS MEANS HIGHER I.EYY. With the vaJuation cut to $35t5.00f).000. a levy of 62 5 cents would be neestary. Such a levy on the new valuation wool 1 raise $3.662.5f0. which with tbe s ! :t3o.''o miscellaneous receipts would bring the total estimated revenue for tbe general fund In 19£2 to $4,012,500 or appmximai*dy $24,000 more than the appropriation ordinance now calls for. In addition there will be received about S2S,*XX) on the 51.<*<) polls, making the excess around $19,000. However. It is likely that an addition of ?24.<X>0 to the appropriation ordinance tor the operation of the city planning coinmiamlss'on will be made, leaving a net possible balance in the general fund of $25,000. PARK BOARD I.EYY TENTATIVELY HXEO. Included In tbe 94J5 cents estimated total city general levy Is six and oneha*f mills levy for the new nark sinking fund. This was fixed tentatively today by Mr. Bryson and J. Clyde iiotfman, attorney for the board of park eomnlisslonera. It is necessary to raise $38,000 needed to pay- Interest on and retire park bonds falling due in 1922. The auditor's certification shows the $565,901.25(1 valuation was arrived at as follows: Ground valuation. $181,736,940; Improvements. $196,039.530; total real es-

Empty Cans The latest government report shows why. The poorest apple crop, poorest peach crop and the poorest pear crop ever reported in Indiana. Berries, cherries, plums and other small fruit almost a total failure. This is why there are millions of empty cans on the farms of Indiana that are usually full of the choicest fruits at this season of the year and properly stored in the cellars for future use. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Buy Your Canned Fruits and Vegetables Now They will be higher before they are lower. Such things only mature once a year. The crop is a practical failure this year and fruit will be scarce and higher before another crop i.- grown. We advise our friends and customers to lay in a supply at once to run you well over into next year. Free Sugar Do it now and get a pound of sugar free with each dollar you spend. We have a large stock of as choice a lot of all kinds of fruits, berries and vegetables as it is possible to buy, and we are selling them at prices that are much less than you can get elsewhere. You do not have to confine your purchases to the grocery department, as free sugar isd>eing furnished to our regular customers, one pound for each dollar you spend with us in any department. Our sales are now showing a decided increase at all of our stores and in all departments, but especially in the grocery department, as people are beginning to realize that now is the time to lay in their winter and spring supply of canned fruits, etc., while they can'be secured at extremely low prices.

Wilson, Who Set Pace , Is Logical Arms Delegate WASHINGTON. Aug. I*.—Woodrow W Uson as the foremost advocate of disarmament is the logical selection as one of the American delegates at the disarmament conference. Senator W illiam 11. King*. Ytah. Democrat, declared today in an Interview. Senator King said the name of former President Wilson should naturally suggest Itself to President Harding In his careful consideration of the appointment of delegates in order to select men of the highest abliity, experience and training. King pointed out- that the former President had sufficiently recovered from his long Illness to assume a more active practice of law, as indicating that Wilson's health would permit his participation in the conference. "Woodrow Wilson has done more than any living person to promote disarmament,” declared King. “Woodrow Wilson’s contribution to world peace and to the firm establishment of those Ideals which will save humanity make him the most conspicuous .Igure ot his time."

tute valuation. $379,778,470; less mort gage exemptions of $33,569,510, giving if net real estate valuation of $366,218,960; personal property valuation, $132,515,330, which added to the net real estate valuation gives a total of $4,987,342.90. The State board of tax commissioners certified an industrial and utility valuation of $119,025,160. which, added to the foregoing, gives the grand total. HEAT AND PERSONAE TOWNSHIP VALUATION. The real and personal valuation by townships Is given as follows: Indian apolis iu Perry. $94,630: Indianapolis in Warren, $8,325,040; Indlauapoffs In Wayne. $15,263,110; Indianapolis In Washington. $20,945,230, and Indianapolis in (.'enter, $541,333,240. The 1921 Levy of slO6l would produce $6,454,343.84 on the 1921 valuation of $308,326,470. If the 1822 levy is 94.15 cents it would produce $5,510,260.21 on the 1922 valuation of $585,801,290, or $837,083.63 less than is estimated to be raised for all general city purposes this year. These figures do not represent the actual amounts to be raised by taxation in Indianapolis this year and next for the r.-asou the assessed valuation always is estimated and 100 per cent of the taxes levied never are collected.

ROOMS NEEDED FOR VETERANS Housing Committee in Need of Accommodations for G. A. R. Visitors. The people of Indianapolis do not yet seem to realize that for the second consecutive year, and for the third time since the formation of the Grand Army of the Republic, the city is to have the honor of being the G. A. R. encampment city, Newton J. McGuire, chairman of the housing committee, said today. This committee is confronted with the task of securing and listing 20,000 rooms for G. A. B. visitors during the week of the fifty-fifth encampment. Sept. 25-20. Indianapolis, which has the distinctive honor of being the only city in the country to entertain the G. A. K. veterans two years in succession, and the only one to have the encampment three times, will again extend its hospitality to the survivors of the armies of the North who fought to preserve the Union! The housing problem Is one of the earliest concerns of the executive committee in charge of the arrangements. The necessity of providing comfortable rooms at reasonable prices for the old soldiers aud for their wives, as well as for members of the allied organizations which will hold their annual meetings in conjunction with the (}. A. K., gives to the people of the city another opportunity of demonstrating their patriotism in a practical manner, it was pointed out by Mr. McGuire today. The response so far has been satisfactory, he said, but at present with accommodations for only 1,500 people assured, tho housing committee finds it necessary io make an urgent appeal to f?eople throughout the city to notify tho housing committee or rooms which will be available for the old soldiers. A corps of twelve women workers are now conducting a telephoue campaign for rooms. Following tbe installation of extention telephones in courtroom No. 4 In the courthouse yesteVday it Has been possible to extend the work of the committee. Other workers located in the telephone building and at the national headquarters of tbe G. A. R. In the Ktatebouee together with volunteers from the Sons of Veterans' Auxiliary, will supplemetn the work being done in Room 9 of the courthouse, where the housing committee has its headquarters.

On Whose Heed Rests Joke? Anyway Mr. ‘Finch' Goes Free

Tthls is a "bird of a story.” It's all about a "Brazilian red finch”-that turned out to be a common or garden variety of red bird. It happened thia way : Fred Ehlets. who happens to be in charge of the game wardens of the southern part of Indiana and who is also a Government bird man, received a tip that a woman living on West Ohio street, had a red bird confined Th a cage. Now there is an Indiana law and a Federal law and an international treaty all of which make unlawful the confining of v a red bird in a cage. Therefore Air. Elilers investigated. The woman told him she had paid sl6 to a Massachusetts avenue bird store for the bird and that she was told it was a “Brazilian red finch.” Mr. Khlers wen: to the bird store and was told the bird had been purchased from a woman iu

So like the events surrounding the pig that wouldn't go over the fence in the rursery story, the woman in Brightwood began to pay the bird store and the bird store begun to pay the woman on Ohio street and the little red bird flew out of his cage and sought his friends in the woods. The empty cage was returned to the woman on Ohio street and the woman in Brightwood is still waiting to hear from the woman in Detroit.

REGISTRATION TO BE ARRANGED Special Ordinances Will Be Considered Monday by Council. Precinct registration places for the First registration day, Xept. 10, may be fixed by the city council' at a special meeting which President Russell AA'illson will call for Monday evening. Under the registration law the council must fix the places not later than fifteen days before the registration day. City Clerk George O. Hutsell is anxious that the council appoint registration Inspectors at. the same time but It was not though likely that Republican City A'ice-Chalrman Ernest L. Kingston would have his nominations in the hands of the council by that time. The council names inspectors and the city clerk the clerks for city registration boards. Mr. Hutsell desires all appointments be made at least fifteen days before the registration day although the law- permits a longer time for choosing same. The annual city budget, and appropriation tax levy ordinances will be introduced at the special meeting. The council must permit ten days to elapse between introduction and adoption of the ordinances during which times citizens have an opportunity to express their views upon the taxation plans for 1922. The call for the special meeting also is expected to Include provision for the introduction of the anti open vault ordl nance backed by the board of public health This was to have been presented last Monday evening but was neglected through an oversight.

BOOZE IN U. S. IN QUANTITIES Liquor Pours Into Country by Boatload—For Foreign Sources, However. WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. Whisky wines and other liquors—in quantities—began pouring iu upon American soil today from foreign sources, but not for American consumption. The liquors are entering through American ports for consignees in other countries in very large volume, according to reports to the treasury today. The liquor shipments are made possible by the Treasury's action in lifting the ban upon so-called "in transit" liquors. Secretary Mellon directed collectors of customs not to interfere with the entry of liquor ships at custom houses when the liquor is being shipped by foreign concerns to other foreign destinations. Movement of enormous stocks of liquors across the Canadian border will not be restricted in any way if it is designed for consignees in some other foreign country. The decision of the Treasury, suspending regulations which had prohibited such shipments, grew out of consideration given the foreign liquor and the status of foreign ships with liquor aboard at a recent meeting of the President and his Cabinet. The Administration has heeded the advice of Attorney General Daugherty. He said it would be folly to allow a multiplicity of litigation in courts, already badly congested, over an issue that can well be held in abeyance until the Supreme Court finally determines the scope of the Volstead law upon this one phase. Officials said Canadian distilleries plan at once a movement of liquor Supplies over the boundary for Mexico and for Pacific const ports for trans-ship-ment to the Orient.

NOTES RESUMED IN JAIL PAYMENT Government and County Still Bickering. Letter writlne again is being indulged In by the Marion County coiritnissloners and Federal authorities regarding ths proposed paying of more than GO cents a day for the care of Federal prisoners confined in the county jail. Under the arrangement which has been In effect since Federal prisoners have been held a* the jail pending trial and the transfer to Federal prison, the county actually has not received a cent, according to County Auditor Leo K.
