FARMERS FLOOD LIVE STOCK AND GRAIN MARKETS Send in Heavy Shipments Despite Warnings to Contrary. , PRICE FALL TEMPORARY CHICAGO. Aug. 23.—Farmers flooded live stock and grain markets of the country today with heavy shipments, despite warnings from commission dealers of demoralized markets. Leaders in the live stock and grain markets said they believed the situation was merely temporary and would have ro serious influence on business In general. Frank W. Waddell, vice president and director of Armour & Cos., reassured business men and producers is a statement, saying there was nothing to cause alarm in the market situation. PRICE FALL DUE TO HEAVY SHIPMENTS “It is true prices have fallen.” Waddell said, "but that is largely due to the fact farmers have made unusually large shipments of their stocks and grains, despite warnings to the <s*itrary from iitalers and commission men. ‘‘ln the face of warnings to shippers, advising they hold their stocks for a few days or until surpluses of inferior stock bad been cleaned up. packers and commission men this week have been confronted with an excessive run of stock which naturally depressed an overburdened market,” Waddell declared he believed the situation would be short lived. ■‘We are now at the fag end of the ►cason.” he explained, "and. judging from the I>w grade of hogs being received. it will be only a short time before the supply of them is exhausted and average conditions again will be resumed. “Undoubtedly some of the shipments have been caused by the situation some farmers faced through necesity of liquidating their stocks, but that is the smallest part of the cause of the rush to market. REGARDS MARKET CONDITIONS TEMPORARY. “Conditions obtaining in the stock and grain market are entirely too temporary to have any serious influence upon business in general. There is today a healthy demand for good quality livestock, and It wlil be only a week or two before the quality of hog receipts increase and livestock of quality commands the steadiest and top prices. ‘The cattle-raiser must And his relief from the extreme low prices now ruling for grass cattle in the more even distri button of his shipments, although mar ket for good corn-fed stuff should remain relatively steady.”

DELEGATES OF U. S. TO PARLEY FOR PUBLICITY (Continued From Page One.) Harrison withdrew his publicity proposal In view of the opposition of Administration leaders. Senator Reed, Missouri, then offered a vesoltuion providing that the American delegates should work for the publicity from day to day during the conference. Lodges statement was followed by a general debate which was the freest discussion of the conference which the Senate has beard. Lodge declared the resolution would render the United States “guilty of an unclvility” to the nations In the conference and expresed hope that it would be defeated. “Os course, if the American delegates Insist that all of the deliberations of the conference be public,” declared Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, “there will be no conference.” “That's good news,” Interposed Senator Borah. "But,” added Kellogg, “it seems highly improbable to me that the American delegates will pursue any such course.” STILL DISCUSS PROEMIAL MEET Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.1.-Great Britain's formal acceptance of the invitation to the disarmament conference and statements of Premier Hughes of Austria that failure to hold a preliminary parley of the big naval powers was a serious mistake, renewed here a discussion oft! ■* reasons for abandoning the idea of a preliminary meeting. In the tirst place no proposal was made to the United States that China be Included in a preliminary conference. The suggestion limited the proposed meeting to the United States. Great Britain and Japan on the assumption that these three powers might deal most raptdiy and satis factorily with the two questions which would engage the attention of the formal ronference —disarmaments and the Pacific. When the suggestion was made that the invitations to the conference had been issued the United States was committed so far on the plan of the general conference that a change in plans, such as would have been necesary to stage a preliminary meeting, would have proved rot only embarrassing to this country, but doubtless have offended the other rations invited to the principal meeting e-France, Italy and China. It also was the view of the United States, that If the pressing disarmaments could be settled or smoothed out In such ■ short time and as easily as Premier Hughes suggests, the ends of the confer eace would he secured at the Nov. 11 meeting without much dificulty. On the other band a failure of the preliminary conference or the projection of a serious Variation of views on the part of the participants, probably would prove suicidal to the success of the main conference. The formal British acceptance conveyed through Ambassador Harvey by Lord Cnrzon, is the third to have been received by the State Department. Formal acceptances still are lacking from Japan end Italy.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos. SAYS CON VERSA TIONS ARE UNDER WAY LONDON, Aug. 23.—Despite the refusal of the United States to consent to a preliminary Far East conference, the diplomatic correspondent of the Daily Telegraph hinted today that conversations are under way between some of the interested powers upon questions which will come up at Washington in November. “There is a very strong feeling in London.” said the correspondent, ‘ that when the Washington conference assembles it will find several problems of vital import to two or three of the powers already disposed of or requiring no more than the general approval of the confeir•nce.” Engineer 52 Years Without Accident CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—America’s safest railroad engineer retired today. He is John F. Lacey, who drove a Rock Island passenger train for fifty-two years without an accident. He will be 70 tomorrow and wHi be automatically pensioned. “I always slowed rip at danger pouts,” was his “safety first” slogan.

KOKOMO PLANS MERGER FIGHT Valuation of I. R. & L. Property Asked of Public Service Commission. The first step in a right on the proposed merger of seven Indiana electric companies which plan to establish a central pow r producing station in the coal fields Ur the purpose of supplying a large part of the State with electricity was taken today by Fred B. Johnson, a former member of the public service commission, who represents the city of Kokomo. Mr. Johnson filed a motion with the public service commission asking that the valuation of the Indiana Railways and Light Company of Kokomo, which is to become a part of the new Indiana Electric Cosporation, be determined before the hearing on the merger which 1> scheduled for Friday morning. The petition also asked that the proportionate part of the proposed securities of the nee- corporation to be allocated to the Kokomo concern be specified before the hearing. In addition he asked that the entire commission, or as many members as possible, sit in the hearing. BARNARD GRANTS JOHNSON’S MOTION. The motion was filed* with Commissioner George Barnard, who has been assigned the hearing, and it was granted. The commissioner then got in touch w’th representatives of the new corporation at the Merchants Heat and Light Company. which ia to become a part of tha new concern, and asked for the valuations of each of the seven properties affected by the merger. He was told that the valuations already were in the hands of the commission, but it was found they were not and it was then agreed they should be presented at 3 o’clock this afternoon. The contest over the merger, when I* comes to a hearing Friday, is expected to involve the question of whether there ia an attempt to overcapitalize the new concern. In an effort to show inflated values the valuations for rate making purposes are expected to be compared with the valuatbyis for taxation. Mr. Johnson, Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel for the city of Indlaanpolis, and possibly other attorneys are expected to oppose the merger as it is planned. COMPANIES IX PROPOSED MERGER. The companies to be merged are the Merchants Heat end Light Company of Indianapolis, the Indiana Railways and Light Company of Kokomo, the Elkhart Gas and Fuel Company of Elkhart, the Valparaiso Lighting Company of Valparaiso, the Wabash Valley Electric Company of Clinton, the Putnam Electric Company of Greencastle, and the Cayuga Electric Company of Cayuga. _ The city of Elkhart recently filed a petition for a revaluation of the Elkhart property and for an aijjustment of rates. National W. C. T. U. Convention Closes SAN FRANCISCO* Aug. 28—(United Press The 1921 national convention of the W. C. T. U. closed today with a renewed pledge to fight for the enforcement and against the modification of the Volstead prohibition act. Charges that attacks on the Volstead law are camouflaged under the names of "personal liberty,” and "Americanism" were made by Dr. Robert O. Matthews, speaking as the personal representative of Prohibition Commissioner Roy A. Haynes.

Harding's Chance to Become \Famous Is Commoner's Opinion CHICAGO. Aug. 23.—Former Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, who took an active part some years ago in the movement for the exchange of arbitration treaties, made the following statement here today regarding the forthcoming disarmament conference in M nahln-tnn ; "I do not care to discuss the detail* of the coming disarmament conference further than to say that it may become the most important gathering held on this earth in centuries. If President Harding succeeds in securing universal peace through universal disarmament he will write his nani| large among the immortals.”

ANTI-AMERICAN FEELING SUBSIDES PANAMA, Aug. 23—With negotiations between Panama and the United States still pending over the Panama Costa Rica boundary dispute, this republic has completed Its military measures to defend the territory In question If Costa Rica attempts to take It by force. President Porras of Panama is defying his political enemies aud In answer to their demands for his resignation announced thit he would not retire from the presidency under any circumstances Anti American feeling which was runI ning high over the week end. Is subsiding. The American ultmatum, domandlng Panama accept the -White award which gives the district of Coto to Costa Rica, caused I.‘tie Interest among the public at large vhen printed in the local press. The leading Panaraan newspaper, the Star Herald, advised acceptance of the American demands as a matter of national policy. It was pointed out that Panama must favor the Interests of the United States because, under the treaty between this country and the United States, the latter Nation can requisition Panama territory at any time without question. It is understood a small armed force of Pan-American troop*—volunteers and policemen—has arrived at Coto. POLITICAL INTERESTS WISH UPRISING, REPORT NEW TORK. Aug. 23.—Strong political Interests in Panama hostile to President Porras and inimical to the influence of-tbe United States oevr the Panama government are attempting to utilize the present territorial dispute between Panama and Costa Rica to precipitate an uprising, it was lea>med here today from authoritative sources. The United State Government, which has ordered Panama to cede to Costa Hica the frontier district in question, is fully aware of the tense situation in the Central American republic. Belief/ was ! expressed in some circles that the delicate political situation In Panama was one of the reasons that a battalion of American marines were sent to Panama. In the event of an insurrection. It Is accepted as a fact that the United States will give armed support to the Porras administration. “I have no knowledge of any contemplated Insurrectionary movement," said Bellsarto Porras. Jr., son of the president and Panama consul-general In New’York City, today. ’'But I do know that the i feelings of the people are at a high pitch. ; Should such a thing occur, it is certain it would not be successful. Steps have been taken to prevent any such trouble.

RUCKER PLEADS FOR LAWYER ACT IN AMENDMENTS Tell Teachefs Education, as Well as Character, Essential Qualification. Declaring that, “the cure of the chaos in the law's administration would be the passage of the amendment, which will come before the voters on Sept. 6 for a vote, to give the General Assembly power to provide for qualifications for those practicing law in the State,” Alvah J. Rucker, former prosecuting attorney, this afternoon addressed the teachers of the township schools of Marlon County, who are in the serond day of the five days' annual Institute at the courthouse. EFFECT NOT RETROACTIVE. “This amendment will have no retroactive effect a? it will only apply to future admtssioo*.” Mr. Rucker stated. “Surely the people should be protected by the State's certificate of admission to the extent that its court officers shall be versed in at least the rudiments of law. No man or woman will be barred ftom the practice unless too lazy or unambitious to educate themselves The i'tate rightfully requires for the public protection qualifications for many trades and professions including that of veterinary. No sane reason cun be given why the profession of the law, so closely intertwined with the public weal, should not be likewise guarded." Continuing, the speaker said: “The safety and well being of the gen- , ernl public emphatically require tho enactment of the lawyer's amendment; j that no one can advise a citizen on the 1 intricate science which taxed the ability , of Moses and Justinian without having theretofore publicly shown his understanding thereof by official examination. "The present single standard of good moral character no more suffices for a good bar than does mere good character suffice to make a good preacher or good druggist. Good character is a pre eminent qualification, but so is education. The two go hand in hand. In fine it is doubtful that a person is of good character who assumes to solve the complexity of the simplest legn! problem without tho skill hicti Is the handmaid of education. It would be dishonest forja capable I lawey because of good character to become a brick mason; it would be equally so for (he brick mason with the same qualifications to become a lawver. LAW ABSTRUSE AND SCIENTIFIC. '■Because of familiarity with the law we arp prone to have a contempt for Its intricacies Because we see it before our eyes each day we are inclined to ; regard it as a subject of common com- | pr. bension. On the contrary, It Is the , most abstruse and scientific in the world. To equitably and fairly make and apply a law to the most Intricate and evasive of God's creation, man. Is a task which* the wisest of all time have undertaken : with fear and trembling. It is difficult even to follow known physical laws In building a bridge, in operating a loco- 1 motive, in treating the sick. But it p proximities the superhuman to mold and , construe a law which operates on the ! intangible but precious element* of hu- ’ man souls. Os all relations, that of hu- i man nature is the most mysterious "Jurlsprudenee Is not materialism. It \ Is not merely the science of property rights Upon Just laws only are citizens enabled to raise their families, to wor ship God as they see fit. to have even the opportunity to enjoy liberty, deoanry j and uprightness Without Just law we would lose the sacred home and everv dear landmark of civilization in an an areliy like that which darkens every hu- ! man hope in Russia Jurisprudence ia j the science of every right and ruts ot j human conduct; it demands of Its devo- J te -s complete self sacrifice and abnegation: it decrees unto iis disciples the : unflagging midnight taper and the toii j of unceasing study.

TAX RATE MAY BE 50 PER CENT HIGHER IN 1922 (Continued From Page One.) valuation is $06,880,272. Those figures, however, do not include railroads, car lines, telegraph lines, nr telephone*. The tea.n railroad valuation was decreased $38,425,210 and electric railroads were de creased $4,919,105. The Postal Telegraph Company was given a reduction of $996,105, and the Western Union a reduction of $302,588. The reduction in the valna tion of transportation companies was $300,330 and the Pullman company valuation 1 was increased $12,681 Oomparitive figures for other classes of property valued by the tax board are not available, but the valuation* were made this year as follows: Building and loan associations, $2,571,509; banks, $100,329. 735; pipe lines, $21,252,199; telephones, $21,252,199, express companies. $688,516. One new tax rate was made by the Legislature this year and a number of increases were made. Tho new rate was four-tenths of a cent for the Purdue University Experiment Station. The increases were in a common school tax, which was made 7 cents Instead of 6.0 cents, the educational institution tax. which was made 5 cents instead of 2 8 cents, and the vocational tax which was made five tenths of * cent Instead of two tenths of a cent. This makes a total of 129 fixed by the Legislature, as compared with the old rate of 80. These figures leave a six-tenths rate for t,he State war memorial and the State revenue rate, the benevolent institution rate and the highway rate. These are to be fixed by a committee consisting of the Governor, the tax board and the and! tor. The benevolent Institution rate at present is 8.9 cents and the t State revenue rate ie 1 cent, making a total of 6.9 cents. In order to meet additional expenses, it is estimated that this total rate must be Increased to 9 cents The highway rate has been a bone of contention for some time. It is now 8.9 cents. There has been some talk of Increasing It. If this Is done the new State rate of necessity will be at least 30 cents. If it is not done it can be kept boiow 30 cents. On the basis of tho present valuations, not taking into consideration the estl mated cut of $300,000,000 and leaving tho highway rate as II is, the tax rate would work out this way: Old Rate. New Kate. State revenue 1 cent *2 cents School 5.6 7 Benevolent Inst. ... 5 9 *7 Educational Inst. .. 2.8 5 Vocational 2 .5 Highway 3.9 3.9 Memorial -6 .6 Purdue experiment. .4 Tefal 20 26.4 •Estimated. Assuming that there had been no change in valuations, this amount seems to bo almost the minimum necessary to raise money appropriated by the Legislature. Retrenchment might save some of it. But with the cut of $;(>,000,000 in valuation, which is believed to be a conservative estimate —some’ estimates having run as high as $500,000,000 sufficient additional figures must be added to the tax rate to bring It to the neighborhood of 29 cents, always assuming that the highway rate will not be increased All of these estimates, it is understood, are based only on Incomplete facts now available and may conceivably be changed to some extent before the time for the actual fixing of the rates arrives. However, it is safe to say that cuts in city and county rates in many cases will be offset bi increases in State rate*.

‘Bombing the Bombers’ Next Big Sport of the U. S. Airmen

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—“ Bombing the bombers,” will be the next feat undertaken by the Army and Navy airmen, it was learned today. Not satisfied with bombing battleships, Army airmen want to try their han i at dropping bombs from the air on large bombing planes engaged in bombing targets on the ground or water. They claim the large planes would be a fair target for a smaller pursuit type of plane which could sail above the bomber and drop bombs on the machine below. T,here may be difficulty in obtaining a favorable target., it is said, but if some simulated condition could be achieved where the effectiveness of the plan might be gauged, Army airmen want to try it.

LEWIS CONFERS WITH M’CRAY IN j MINE TROUBLE Workers’ Head and Governor Discuss Situation in Sullivan Field. John T.. Lewis, international president of the United Mine Workers of America, conferred with Governor Warren T. McCray today on the situation in the Indiana coal fields which had led to a reported mob spirit and threatened violence. ! The Governor said he had called Mr. , Lewis in on the strength of newspaper rei ports of conditions in Sullivan County. He said that Mr. Lewis bad not been informed in detail of conditions at Sulll- ; van, but that the general situation in the coal fields was discussed. Mr. Lewis said he had appeared on Inritarion of the Governor and that they i had gone over the Indiana conditions as they applied to the mine workers. He said he had nothing further to say concerning the conference. Both Governor AfcCray and Adj. Gen. Harry B. Smith said they had heard nothing officially from Sullivan County this week. The Governor Said he Intendj ed to get in touch with Sheriff Ed Douthj itt of Sullivan County and to insist on ! order. PUTS CASE UP TO SHERIFF. “No such condition as 1* reported to ' exist in Sullivan County will lie permitted to continue In Indiana,” the Governor said. "If things do not improve some steps must be taken to see that they do.’ * The Governor said he believed a strong ! man in the sheriff's office could handle the situation. It was reported unless Sheriff Douthitt makes every possible | effort to keep the peace, Impeachment proceedings may be brought. Reports that mob violence was threat ened at Sullivan have brought numerous | mils from members of the Indiana Na- : tlonal Guard to General SnitHi asking I whether there was a possibility that ! troops wonld bo used. The General said the use of troops had not been considered. IRISH TO REPLY SATURDAY ON BRITISH OFFER — (Continued From Pago One.) ; made an organized attack against a party of Sinn Feiners who were on their way home. Tho plan for the assault was carefully laid, the attackers being sum- | motied by the blowing of whistles. | The homes of the Sinn Feiners were attacked and damaged. The Sinn Feiners rallied and the fighting spread through the streets. Policemen were rushed to the scene, but were unable to do anything with riot clubs Tho mobs were not dispersed until the police fired a fulisade from service pistols IRISH DAIL EIRE ANN DISCUSSES PEACE LONDON, Aug. 23. Intensive discussions of the English peace offer were under way at Dublin today. Iu addition to another secret executive session of Dail Elrwinn, the Sinn Fein summoned a general conference of political, industrial and clerical leaders for a canvass of the peace situation. British officials were more than usually hopeful the parleys would lead to progress toward a settlement. The morning papers commented in an optimistic vein. The Daily Telegraph which is working for an Irish referendum, printed a number of Interviews with Irish mon-Sinn Feiners and others, in support of a referendum. “The real peace party in Ireland is not made up of members of the Irish Republican army," said tlie Daily Telegraph in Its editorial comment. The Morning Post, chief organ of the Tories, headed its editorial comment "Come out from among them.” The editorial said in part. “Should the rebel junta dispatch a reply which ts not a qualified acceptance of the English offer proposed by Premier Lloyd George ail honest men of the conservative party should sever connection with tb* British government. Further discussions will only lead to further stirrender upon the part of the government." The Dally Mall pointed out there are three district influences working agsinst England In connection with the Irish peace. The radical TepubU<-ans; a group; Os Influential Sinn Fein women who lost husbands, sons and brothers, either in battle with the English or upon the soaf fold; the trans-Atlantic professional Anglophobea.

Sousa, Partly Deaf , Takes Treatment to Restore Hearing PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.—John Phillip Sousa has been unable for some time to hear his own music distinctly. it was revealed for the first time today. The famous bandmaster is in the care of Dr. Georga Noetjllng of this city. He shows marked improvement and expects to be restored to the full power of hearing shortlv. Since his ear affliction, it was learned, the finer notes of the wooden uuments and the cornet practicailv escaped the conductor, who directed by long training and Intuition largely.

This is regarded in some quarters as a possible form of defense in future against bombing attacks from the air on ships. Consideration already has been given to the need for air forces to guard the Bhips against hostile air bombers, with the idea in mind that a superior air force for either side could drive off the enemy's planes. The Navy, it is understood, has devoted much time to developing its own methods of attack by air as well as forms of defense from the air. The aerial attack, however, Is regarded as perhaps the best form of defense from enemy bombers, that it, by carrying the fight over them, can digrupt any organized bombing. Army men bear this idea out

COUNTY BUDGET WILL BE $64,000 LESS, ESTIMATE Reduction* Held Favorable Campaign Material for Next Election. Based on the opinions of President Carlin Bhank and Commissioner I>ewis, George, that the budget for 1922 will be approximately $04,000 less, than that for this year, indication* are that the Marion County Council at its annual meeting on Sept. 0, will establish a tax rate for (’enter township for next year which will be slightly lower than the present rate of $2.42. County Auditor Leo K. Fesler was In consultation this afternoon with the county commissioners relative to the bud get for next year and Its effect- on the tax rate. ACCOUNTS BOARD MOVES TO STOP EXTRA BILLS. The budget will not necessarily reflect nil of the expeditures for next year, though the State board of accounts has instructed the auditors of all of the counties of the State that all expenditures to be made from the general fund for next year must be made as specifically provided for in the budget. This i will prevent the county councils of the State from making special or additional appropriations during the course of the year as has been done so frequently in the past. The present Republican county Administration sees many advantages in reducing the tax rate for next year as in the fall of 1922 they will attempt again to fill the offices of the county prosecutor, sheriff, auditor, commissioners, treasurer, recorder and others with Republicans. A lower tax rate for 1922 ts looked upon by political leaders of the Republican administration with hearty approval. Last September, when the office holders and institutional heads submitted their estimate of the expenses Tor this year, the total requested was $1,530,977.50. ESTIMATES OF SOME OUUES IiO( (TED. Judge James A. Collins of the Marlon ( fnnty Criminal Court has estimated the total expenses of the court for next year at $22,836 as compared to $22,002 as requested for 1921. County Clerk Richard V. Pipe has estimated his expenses at $66,125 'for next year as compared to $44,025 for this year. The increase is due to the fact that the budget had to include insanity expenses in addition to other items not contained in the budgets in the past. Judge T. J. Moll of Superior Court. Room 5, estimates that his expenses for next year will total $10,116, which, is an increase of $2,500 over this years appropriation request. The Increase is due to increase in salaries as allowed by the last General Assembly. ' Sheriff George Snider has asked for I $58,3*1.97 to run bis office and the Jail for 1922, as compared to $44,540, which he asked for this year. SWIFT IGNORANT OF FAIRGROUND FLY NUISANCE (Continued From rage One.) thought best to have experienced men j on the work. SMUT STATEMENT CAUSES SURPRISE.
