SAY ASHBY IN NEED OF AIDS IN CITY WORK (Continued From l’age One.) tion contract negotiations, possible negotiations for anew contract with the gas company, the movement of Vest Indianapolis to secede from the city, tne plaza remonstrance and other matters, any one of which are enough to keep some attorneys hard at work. AND STILL, OTHER DCTIES. These corporation matters are not the only worries under which Mr. Ashby must stagger along. Hardly a day goes by that the legal department is not called upon to render an opinion upon the legality of some move other city de ■partments are involved in. His present assistants being busy with other things or unwilling to take the full responsibility of making a ruling nine times out of ten, the question finally comes tip to the corporation counsel for decision. It being a physical impossibility for him to be forty places at once a great many departmental questions go unanswered sometimes for long periods. Then the department heads add to the troubles of the corporation counsel by wanting to know why the legal department does not wake up and answer a question now and then. Attorneys from other cities who have observed only the work which Mr. Ashby is called upon to do before the public service commission have marvelled at his ability to stand the strain. Friends who realize the impossibility of one man to oppose successfully many attorneys backed by business interests with millions of dollars of capital say he should have been given help long ago. Wayne Countyites Will Meet Sunday Members of the Wayne County society will hold their second annual reunion. Snnday at Brookside Park. They will meet at 2.30 o’clock at the park pavillion. An informal program will be given during the afternoon with a picnic lunch at 6 o’clock. There are 500 members in the organization, the officrer including John Shafer, president; Dr. O ■j*. Harold, vice president; Laura Ratliff Bates, secretary, and Mrs. Claude Dill treasurer. Deputy Killed in Rum Runner Fight THERMOPOLIS. Wyo„ Sept. I—Deputy Sheriff Ted Price is dead today and E. L. Mallendure, alleged bootlegger, is dying, following a gun battle between a sheriff's posse and two rum-runners on an isolated road north of this city. When officers in an automobile had overtaken the bootleggers after a thrilling chase, the latter ran their car into the thick underbrush near the roadside and opened lire.

Elderberry Wine Puts Out Fire; Not in *Tummy ’ Either CARLISLE. Penn., Sept. I.—Forty barrels of elderberry wine was the fire extinguisher used to save a bouse jtn the farm of Gilbert Beetem, near here. All available water on the farm was used in an effort to save a barn but the wine was the only effective extinguisher, the other buildings being destroyed. A bucket brigade was formed by neighbors and the wine was passed to the roof of the dwelling from the celler. Ten thousand dollars is the estimated loss of building and “stock.”

MEN AND BUSINESS By RICHARD SPILLANE

Special to Indiana Daily Time* and Philadelphia Public Pledger. ON THE KOAD, Sept. 1. AE. MITCHELL, vice president of • the Northern National Bank, of Toledo, says a little up-State banker thought the structure in which he was conducting business was not suitable, so he bought a corner lot, engaged an architect and| the designs for anew building appealing to his artistic sense, he asked for bids from contractors. Their figures outraged him. He lectured them on profiteering and announced publicly that he would “show them.” Giving his personal attention to the undertaking he bought material, hired a foreman and engaged workers. Now he wishes he had not. The contractors' bids were around 830,000. The banker has paid out that much already and the building is not near completion. “I'm paying sl.lO an hour to bricklayers,” the banker says, “and they’re loafing on the job. I never had so much worry over anything In my life.” • • • HOTEL proprietors say there is a lot of buncombe about tho prohibition law being a nullity. “Before the Eighteenth Amendment went into effect,” said one of them, “the empty bottles from the bar and the empty flasks gathering in the rooms of a large hotel would make up a wagon load a day. Now they do not make much more than a barrel full a week.” • • • CLEVELAND bankers say the national back of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers Is growing at an astonishing rate. * • * GEORGE W. YORK, partner in the Investment banking house of Otis A- Cos. of Cleveland, saya one of tho best things that could happen in America to restore confidence in every department of life would be for a strong advance in Liberty Bonds. “They are up six points from the low,” he says. “When they advance another six points you'll see a very great change in sentiment generally. They are on their way. Such sharp depreciation as we have seen of a Government security so widely distributed as are Liberty Bonds has been more disturbing than most of us have appreciated. Confidence comes measureably with their advance in market price. We have had a far larger business in the purchase of Liberty Bonds throughout the last twelve months than in their sale. The public is growing more and more to an appreciation of their worth.” Incidentally Mr. York has reason to think better of the labor market. He is Interested in a lumber property in the South. In the florid times of two years back rough labor got $6 a day. When the depression came the mill had to be closed. Lately an appeal came from the workers to reopen the mill and they would work for $3.50. • • • JH. THOMPSON, manager of the . Hollenden Hotel of Cleveland, declares there is a decidedly better sentiment among the people who should lie the best judge of conditions. He meets all classes from traveling salesmen to presidents of great corporations. Three men out of five with whom he discusses the situation say things in general are a little better. Salesmen used to reply “rotten” when asked as to their business. Now they say, “I'm selling quite a lot of people. Their orders are not big, but the demand is widening noticeably.” • • RUBBER NECK wagon lecturers in their attempts to be smart sprea 1 class prejudice. “This, ladies and gentlemen," one of them bellowed through his megaphone, “is Delaware avenue, better known as Millionaire Row. You will observe, ladles and gentlemen, bow crooked It is.” • • •' ON THE menu in one of the restaurants in Cleveland there was listed, "Consomme on the Cob.” It was a Chinese restaurant. • • • ONE of the gloomiest structures on Euclid avenue, a leading thoroughfare of Cleveland, is the former home of John D.

ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER WHEN GANG’S TOGETHER This Story Is Evidence Miracle Days Are Not Over. Any evidence that the regular Republican organisation and the forces of Samuel Lewis Shank have forgotten past differences and are in close harmony, w'hieh may have been lacking heretofore has paled into insignificance as the result of a “love feast" held on the banks of the Wabash River, nine miles out of Rockville, last Tuesday, it was learned today. County Treasurer Ralph Lemcke, one of the old Jewett-Roemler-Lemcke triumvirate; Leonard M. Quill, secretary of I the Republican city committee; Coroner Paul F. Robinson and County Clerk Richard Sipe, all members of the old rock- ribbed Republican organization; Taylor Groninger and John Walker, leaders in the Shank organization, and Samuel Lewis Shank himself, as well as Hugh Ranzi. an interior decorating contractor, were the Indianapolis participants at the “feast," which was giveu at the summer camp of Mint John, a prominent attorney and politician of Parke County. It was said Mr. Shank, upon reaching the camp declared he would throw s horseshoe at the first man who “talked shop,” and that he spent the rest of the day throwing horseshoes. Mr. Shank it is reported, was boomed for governor and elected President berore the party broke up. A feature of the entertainment was r swimming contest between the erstwhile arch political enemies, Taylor Groninger and Ralph Lemcke. Other features were j a channel cat fish dinner and a horsei she pitching contest in which Mr. Shank ! with proverbial Shank luck, starred. Lake County Soldier Gets Clear Record The charge of desertion standing i against John M. Rogers, a registrant of ! the local board for Division No. 2, Lake (County, has been set aside, according j to a memorandum issued from the headj quarters of the sth Army Corps Ares at Fort Benjamin Harrison. In relatior to the charge, the memoran ! dum says: I “Draft records show this man was directed to report to the adjutant general ! of sh" State of Indiana for military duty no later than March 23, 1918, and that i because he failed to so report he was subsequently certified to the adjutant general of the Army as a deserter. Records of those who served during the wmrld war show that he enlisted in the United States Navy June 23, 1917, and was discharged June 2, 1919.’’

U. B. DELEGATES IN CONFERENCE GET STATISTICS Report of Superintendent Shows Marked Progress Last Year. Special to The Times. ANDERSON, Sept. I.—Two hundred persons, including ministers and laymen from more than ninety churches are here attending the seventy-sixth annual White River conference of the United Brethren Church. An interesting feature of the opening session yesterday was the report of Superintendent J. E. Shannon of Marion, which showed that the value of property owned by the church in the district had grown from $520,937 to $755,078 since 1918. Rev. Shannon stated that $290,326 was spent for all purposes during the last year as compared with $127,488 in 1913. and that $112,685 was expended for ministers' salaries last year, as compared with $45,805 in 1913. In the past year the chjrcb spent $30,781 for benevolences, as compared with SII,OOO speut in 1913. The membership of the church in the White River district is 23,922, as compared with 19,278 in 1913. Growth was shown In the number of new members, also In the number of Sunday schools and Christian Endeavor societies. Rev. Shannon will retire at this conference in order to become secretary of the department of evangelism of the United Brethren Church. Bishop Fout opened the meeting yesterday, Rev. C. W. Brewbaker spoke in the afternoon and Rev. J. B. Connett of Crawfordsvllle spoke at night. EJECT ARMED GUARD OR NO PEACE—LEWIS (Continued From Page One.) perpetrated upon them. They have in vain sought redress from the constituted civil authorities of these counties and from the executives of the Commonwealth of West Virginia. The political influence of the coal operators and the agency is sufficient to prevent them from securing justice in the county courts or in the council of the State government. UNION PLEA IS UNHEEDED. “The United Mine Workers of America has made protest against these outrages and even at timps brought before the Governors of West Virginia the maimed, bleeding and bandaged victims of the gunmen as evidence of their atrocities, and upon every occasion has been denied redress. “The International otficials have repeatedly taken the matter up with governmental departments at Washington, extending back through several Administrations. and despite these efforts the mine guards of West Virginia continue to flourish. Imposing the will of these feudal coal barons without warrant c.f law upon the Americans who are com pelled to live In this environment and toil in the mines. Under these circumstances can one marvel that patience has ceased to be a virtue and that the mine workers are venting their pent-up lndlg nation and resentment by assembling In force to protest these outrages. “The United Mine W orkers of America condones no violation of the law, but for those who have knowledge of conditions in southern West Virginia, it Is easy to understand the psychological processes which the minds of these toilers have undergone while brooding over their wrongs. "Federal troops may restore order in West Virginia, but unless the primary cause of this constantly recurring trouble Is removed by the abolition of the mine guard army and the recognition of the constitutional rights of the miners in this section the dove of peace will never make permaneat abode in this stricken territory." 2 MEN HELD FOR PASSINGJCHECKS Assistant Cashier of Bank Catches Depositor. Clyde Wynegar, 1321 Barth avenue, and Delmar Pike, giving his address as 62H Fulton street, were arrested yesterday in connection with alleged attempts to pass worthless checks. Wynegar was arrested after trying to cash a third alleged worthless check at tho store of Higher Bros., 1521 Sheldon street. Earlier in the day he had succeeded In cashing two at the same store for an aggregate amount of SIBO. He was arrested by Detectives Reilly and Fields and Sergeant Sheehan. Pike was captured near the Massachusetts Avenue State hank by Oscar Krenzel, Jr., assistant cashier and son of t Oscar Frenzel, vice president of the MerI chants National Bank. The Indiana Bankers’ Association had sent out wnrni ings in regard to Pike, and Mr. Frenzel recognized him as a man who had opened an account for $lO at the bank yesterday | morning. Just after the deposit was accepted Huber Moore, cashier, told Fren- ! ze] he had received a letter from the ; association saying that Pike had been : known "to rulso amounts in pass books j from $lO to “310. A number of Indianapolis financial institutions are said to have been dej frauded by Pike. It is understood that a warrant for his arrest had been ob- ■ tained by the Marlon County State Bank.

Wolves Add Terror to Famine Russia; Eat Human Beings LONDON, Sept. I.—Hordes of wolves and bears have become "allies” of plague and famine beeetting Russian peasants in the stricken areas of Russia, according to a Berlin dispitch to the Dally Express. Thousands of men, women and children are In headlong flight before hordes of famished beasts. In the province of Tula, wolves have made their appearance for the first time in half a century.

Mr. Barnard asked. "No,” Mr. McPherson replied. In opening his argument Mr. Ashby said the public utilities law was enacted for the purpose of protecting the public against watered stock and securities. He declared the purpose and theory of the law is that securities must be issued on no more than the full value of the property, and added there is no necessity for the proposed securities Issue. TALK VALUATIONS IN FINAL ARGUMENTS. "You don't think the commission would authorlzo any common stock without property back of it?" Mr. Barnard asked. “I do not," Mr. Ashby said. Mr. Ashby then went Into the valua tlons r * v e properties. Mr. “hereon, In opening the argument r- .he petitioner, confined hltneelf | to the mat hr of valuation. He characterized the hxluations given by Harry O. Garman, chief engineer for the commission, as valueless and said while he did not contend .he petitioner's valuations as a fixed :az.dard, they were the best evidence. • CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE LATE WEDNESDAY. The presentation of evidence was concluded Wednesday afternoon with the testimony of Charles McPherson, attorney for tae petitioner, who was called as a wltn*ss by the respondents. He was sum moned for the purpose of presenting evidence concerning options that have been taken In behalf of the electric corporation Interests on the stock of some of the companies to be purchased. During the course of the examination of Mr. McPherson, Fred Bates Johnson, attor ley for the city of Kokomo, uske.l w.tat prii-e Is to be paid for the property , of tb Merchant Heat rind Light Company, the Valparaiso Lighting Company and Th i E’.khnrt Gas and Fuel Company J W. r'esler, an attorney for petitioner objected on the ground Jnjeph 11.

Commissioner George Barnard, however, held toe was entitled lo the Information and snid he would order the petitioner to produce the information. INFORMATION IN, BAYS WITNESS. “We have given you all the lnforma tion that exists on that subject," Mr. : McPherson declared,” and you can order you more.” vs until doomsday and we can't give j Mr. Barnard declared that the coin-i mission had a right to know what was to be paid for the property and asked Mr. McPherson If he had an idea how much is to be paid. “Certainly I have an idea,” McPherson said “Then how much is to be paid?” Mr. Barnard asked. “I don't know how much Is to be paid bnt It will be approximately the valuation we have set out.” • He said this would hold true for the other properties. In reply to further questions he said tho obligations of the Merchants Heat and Light Company, amounting to $6,500,000, would be assumed and th remainder, amounting to $5,000,000, would be paid in common and preferred stock and notes Mr. Jobnson then demanded to know what proportion of each security is to be paid. This question was objected to and the objection was sustained. SEEK MANNER OF TRANSFER. Mr. Jobuson then attempted to estab llsh tho exact manner In which the prop erty is to be transferred. Mr. McPher son testified It would be deeded directly to the Indiana Electlic Corporation. Mr. Johnson demanded to know if the eonsid eration would pass directly. It was finally established that; it would not, but that a deed would pass directly. It was brought out that these questions were asked with a view to determining the Jurisdiction of the commission on the ground that all the parties to the petition might not be directly interested. The I testimony of Mr. Brewer, given .vaster- : day, was referred to as being contradictory to the statements of Mr. McPherson, but Mr. McPherson explained Mr. Brewer was mistaken to an extent in the answers he gave. Pursuing this questioning further. Mr. Johnson demanded to know in whose favor the options for stock weer made. It was established they weer .made in favor of the American Public Utilities Company and not tne Indiana Electric Corporation, but it was reitterated the deeds would pass djrectly to the electric corporation. Commissioner Barnard asked Mr. McPherson if he thought it would take securities amounting to $19,121,000. the value claimed by the petitioner, to make the purchases. “The securities we asked for would be necessary,” Mr. McPherson replied. “Then nothing less could be used?” Mr. Barnard asked. Mr. McPherson, after some hesitancy, replied that fewer could be used, but it would not be feasible.

Women's Legs Free Sights in New York These Days—Judge NEW YORK, Sept. I.—lt is not necessary, in the opinion of Magistrate Brown, sitting today In the Adams street court. Brooklyn, for a man desirous of seeing the shapely legs of the gentler sex to stand at the foot of the subway stairs. The prisoner, Joseph Trick, 18, was arrested by Special Policeman O’Neill, employed by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit. O’Neill told the court that Trick had stood for a matter of thlrty-flve minutes at the foot of the subway stairs. ‘‘‘What are you doing here?’ I asked him, your honor," O’Neill said. "He admitted he was watching women’s legs.” Magistrate Brown turned the fufl gaze of the law’s offended majesty on the prisoner and said: "What’s the matter with you? Ara you crazy ? You don’t have to go down to the subway stairs to look at women's legs. You can see them on the streets and any place you go nowadays. You are put on probation for six months." The charge was disorderly conduct.

SOLDIER WITH TUBERCULOSIS A BIG PROBLEM Peak of Situation Not Ex* pected to Be Reached Until 1925, Says Report. “Co-operation of the press of Indianapolis and the county again has been the chief factor in successful educational work in disease prevention. This cooperation has been supplemented this year by much direct effort at education among persons of all ages. Constantly we ha ’o accented health education among the children of the city and county and gratifying results have been forthcoming,” said Miss Mary A. Meyers, executive secretary of the Marion County Tuberculosis Association, In her report on the activities of the association during the past year, at the eighth annual meeting of the association this afternoon at the Sunnyside sanatorium near Oaklandon. In touching upon the matter of the tuberculosis soldier problem, the report said : SOLDIER PROBLEM 18 EMBARRASSING. “The tuberculous soldier problem has become embarrassing in this eounav. just as it is in practically every county of tho country. This problem is not of a temporary nature and proposal* to solve ’it in this county on a temporary basis are deemed Inexpedient by this association. Anti-tuberculosis authorities reckon that the peak of the tuberculosis so! dler problem will not have been reached until 1925. and that the care of the soldier afflicted with the disease will continue as a part of the white plague fight for the next fifty or sixty years. Plans to erect temporary shelters for tuberculo sis soldiers at Sunnyside—ln fact any plans to treat the tuberculous soldier as a class, rather than as a definite part of the larger program of tuberculosis eradication—will meet oniy failure, we believe. Your association has taken this stand understanding fuf.ly that one of its great purposes in succeeding years will l>e constant cooperation with other agencies In efforts to solve successfully! the tuberculous soldier problem. We feel ! that relief planned for the tuberculous \ soldier should be planned on a perman ent basis, and that It should coincide with the general plans of eradicating the disease from this community.” Her report showed that hundreds of! health meetings, attended by thousands of cltlxens, had been held during the year: that the Modern Health Crusade has been established In many county and parochial schools: that many Indianapolis business men have continued the antlspittlng campaign, which the association began In the spring, and that “Don't Spit” cards have been plßeed where individuals congregate and the spitting nuisance has abated in great degree. Tho association Itself has been a clearing house for the discovery of Incipient, advanced and suspicious cases of tuberculosis. said the report, and these cases eventually have been tsolated and placed under treatment. The report touched npon the clinics that now are established In Indianapolis and of their live saving work. WANT MORE OPEN AIR S( 11001 8. Greater development of frerh air schools in the city and county was urged, and an outline given of the nutritional Institute that Is to be held In this city In October under the direction of Dr. William R. P. Emerson of Boston. The report concluded by stating that "as we approach the time for the annual sale of tuberculosis Christmas seals, we feel certain thnt the public of Indian spoils and Marlon County will respond as generously as In the past to the call of the seal. Under Its guiding light In past years, we have seen the death rate from tuberculosis drop annually and we know that the citizens of the county are determined to keep up the fight ayalnst the •white plague." ’’ The program for the meeting included an address by Dr. J. H. Stygall. State clinician of the Indianapolis Tuberculosis Association, on “The Relation of the Clinics to the Tuberculosis Problem;” a talk by Dr. II S. Hatch, superintendent of Sunnyside, in the form of a res urn* of the results of the institution during the past year; greetings by Paul Gutzmlller, a nntlent of Sunnyside; a health play by Children of Sunnyside, and the election of officers.

BOND ISSUE IS PROPOSED FOR LAND PURCHASE (Continued From Page One.) Smith, superintendent of the Eastern Hospital for the Insane at Richmond, represented medical authorities of the State; B. F. Long, Logansport, was present for the trustee* of Indiana University, while members of the board of public health, board of park commissioners, board of public works, the city council and City Controller Robert H. Bryson were there for the city. City Councilman Gustav G. Schmidt presided. OBJECT TO BUILDING DESTRUTIOX. All were in favor of the proposal, bnt Dr. Sumner A. Fu'rnlss and .Tesse E. Miller, city councilmen, a~ked if the 100 houses on the land to be bought would be torn down and the families thrown into the street immediately. Dr. Furniss was particularly anxious that this should not be done. Mr. Bobbs replied that if the association were sure the city was going to buy the property, it would not be necessary to remove the houses for two or three years In which time the residents could find other quarters. "I think myself It Is a mistake at this time to tear down a great number of valuable buildings when building costs have not come down, therefore 1 agree with Dr. Fbirnisz that this question should be given very careful consideration,” said M. Bobbs. Outlining the need for the children's hospital, Mr. Schortemeler said the United States Public Health Service has estimated that there are ten thousand children in Indiana today who are in need of attention such as they would receive at the children’s hospital. Dr. Smith said the first unit of the hospital will have 200 beds, and with Its “out patient” department will be able to give treatment to about two thousand children per year at the start. From time to time it Is proposed to make additions until there Is a mlllion-dollar Institution. It will be kept up by an annual appropriation of $50,000 per year from the £*.ate. payment by the counties of expenses of child patients sent by the Judges of anv courts in the State and private contrib itlons. After the children s hospital Is under way the State eventually Intends to establish a psychopathic hospital and then a general Infirmary, to relieve county infirmaries all over the State. If the convalescent park is established these projected Institutions would be among those located around it. Dr. Smith said. TURKS FIGHTING, BACKS TO WALL Retiring Near Angora—Taking Toll of Greeks.
