ELiHU ROOT MAY RE DELEGATE TO DISARM PARLEY Visit to President Causes Report Former Secretary of State Will Serve. UNDERWOOD IS CHOSEN? WASHINGTON, Sept. American delegation at the disax ajnent conference probably will not exceed four In membership, President Harding revealed today. Assurance also was given by the executive that one of the delegation will be a representative of Democrats in CongYess. Harding also revealed that while a large corps ol big* Army and Navy experts will assist the American delegation, no military or naval man will be a delegate. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9—Definite indication that Eliku Root is to be a member of the American commission at tin cpsferonce on the limitation of arma*menta were given here as the result off series of surprising developments which attend his rather unexpected visit to the White House and the offices of the State Department yesterday. Coincidentally it was learned on un impeachable authority that President Harding has determined upon the site o the American delegation and virtually { ached final decision upon Its personnel t least the decision appears to be fine’ the case of four men. Secretary Hugger id Senator Lodge whose names already have been announced; Mr. Root, whos< ■•lection the events of the day seem to confirm and Senator Underwood, who if to be the Democrat on the commission. RECEPTION STUNS POLITICAL WASHINGTON. Mr. Root’s arrival in Washington and the manner in which he was received fairly stunned the political wiseacres of the capital, who. influenced by the alleged estrangement said to have taken place between the President and Mr. Boot daring the campaign, freely predicted he would not be made one of America's representatives of the International Farley.

Although Mr. Root himself declined to discuss the subject of his probable appointment and the President and Secretary Hughes answered all queries with smiling silence, Washington appeared completely converted to the view chat the unquestioned diplomatic ability of the brilliant international lawyer will be in action in behalf of the United States when vthe curtain goes up on the rolund table in the Pan-American building Nov. 11. * Mr. Root walked Into the White House executive offices shortly after 9 a. m yesterday, the F resident's first visitor. He was closeted with the chief executive nearly two hours and then stepped quickly across the street to the State Department, where he had a long star chan ber session with Secretary Hughes Later Mr. Root returned to the White House for luncheon, leaving about 2 o’clock so as to give himself time io transact some bustness at the offices of the Carnegie Endowment for Peace before catching a train for New York. SMALL DELEGATION TO BE CHOSEN. Announcement of the selection of Mr. Root and the remaining delegates now appears to be on'y a matter of the President's convenience. It is apparent the Administration has definitely been informed as to the size of the delegation that will be agreeable to the nations participating in the conference. The choic> manifestly has been in favor of the sma'l delegation in line with the American idea. President Harding and Secretary Hughes Incline to the belief that a large number of delegates would make the conference unwieldy and mitigate against successful cofielusion. With the nations represented by small commissions composed of not more than five members each, it is easy to see special interests, such as the women, labor and the ex-ervice men cannot expect to gain individual representation. It is understood the President, who recently toid & group of prominent women that he doubted the possibility of a woman serving in the capacity of commissioner, is Informing other groups, who are demanding recognition, that the smallness of the body will preclude appointment of delegates serving special interests. Apparently it is the plan of the Administration to name a commission made up Wholly of men <>f national reputation as diplomats, statesmen, international lawyers and politicians.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Cos.

Violations of the prohibition laws also are crowding the courts to such an extent that Attorney General Daugherty has proposed the establishment of special tribunals to handle this business. In addition the Department of Justice Is burdened with the investigation and prosecutions of hundreds of cases of alleged war contract grafters. In addition, anti-trust investigations are pending.

ANTI-BLUE LAW LEAGUE ACTIVE State Leader Opens Offices, Outlines Purposes. Indiana headquarters of the Anti-Blue Law League of America, Inc., were opened today by Emerson C. Cook, State superintendent, at the Aetna Trust Building, 23 North Pennsylvania street. Mr. Cook is organizing the preliminary work and expects to open the drive for membership within a few days. He expects to enroll more than 100,000 members In the State. 11l outlining the purposes of the league Mr. Cook asserted: “The league expects to prevent continued pasage of local legislation that will lead to State and National legislation fixing the observance of Sunday contrary to the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which closes the door to the union of church and State. “Asa permanent organization to be forever vigilant against blue Sunday laws and restrictive legislation of all kinds the league program Indicates that all kinds of restrictive legislation tendln gto restrict the rights of the individual will be opposed by the league. • “If laws are passed that would close Ithe doors to all recreation on Snndays, land place a ban on practically all labor (accessary to provide recreation for the big majority of the citizens of the country that have only Sunday in seven days to enjo such recreation, it will be a very hard matter to repeal those laws, once they are enacted. The league desires to prevent, in particular, the passage of further restrictive laws. It is representative of the rank and file of the citizens of the country, and the legislator and Congressman will soon recognize that tact as much as he now

FOUR BANDITS HOLDUP BANK AT BEECH GROVE (Continued From Page One.) ing for his father when the car drove up. He said the three men who went inside the bank left the car and that the driver stayed in the car with his hand on the gear shift lever and the engine running. He said he tried to engage the man in conversation, but that he refused to speak. XClasing described the driver as a white man about 30, weighing about 175 pounds and about five feet ten inches in height He said the man was dark and that he wore a blue overall Jacket and a soft black felt hat. ALL ABOUT 30, ROUGHLY DRESSED. The man who held the two guns Erasing described as being about 30, smooth shaven, weighing about 150 pounds and five feet seven inches in height. He said the man wore dark clothing and o soiled cap. The third man was described as wearing a soiled sweater over an overall Jacket Klasing said the sweater was so dirty he could not tell its color. He said the man had several days’ growth of beard and that he was of about the same build ts the second white man. The negro was described as being about the same age as the other men and as being very black. He is said to have worn overalls. He was about five feet seven Inches in height and weighed about 170 pounds. The robbery of the Beech Grove bank recalls an attempted robbery of the same bank about six years Two safe crackers entered th<- building, succeeded in opening the outer door of the vault and bored a large hole in the inner door They did not succeed in reaching the money, however. The men were after wards captured as a result of another attempted robbery and sentenced to th< penitentiary. SAT AND WATCHED BANK FOR TIME. A. S. McClellan, a grocer on Main street, said he saw the bandits sitting in their car a short distance from the bank before the robbery took place. He said tLey sat there from thirty to forty minutes, but he thought nothing of it. The police believe the men were watching the bank for an opportune moment to stage the hold-up. J. E. I.aßue, a lumber dealer of Beech Grove, said he was driving home from Indianapolis when he met the bandits! car and the car following it. He sail the pursuers were only about two blocks behind the bandits' car. He said he knew nothing of the robbery and supposed the cars were racing. DETECTIVES START SEARCH FOR CLEWS. An automobile loaded with detectives went to the Beech Grove bank, arriving there at about 1:30 o'clock, and started to pick up the various clews that had possibly been overlooked by the officers who had made the first investigation about two hours earlier, and who had immediately started in pursuit of the bandits. These detectives questioned .many persons ard also made special note of the descriptions given of the robbers. Rutledge gave the best description of the negro. He stated the robber was very dark, that he in height, and we! hed at least 160 pounds. The man had a blue overall Jacket, dark trousers and tan Army shoes of a peculiar appearance. Rutledge said [ his eyes were op the floor as he entered i and that he saw the man's shoes before he saw the revolver poked In his face. He said they had large brass rings where the laces passed through. Chief of Police Jerry Kinney ordered a police net spread over the city of Indianapolis and orders were issued to officers to arrest all suspicious persons who could not give an account of themselves. Descriptions of the bandits were given to al! patrolmen by the operator as they called police headquarters. Inspector of Detectives Herbert Fletcher gave orders to all detectives to make investigations in connection with the robbery.

SAY COST OF HEAT PRODUCTION SAME Public Service Companies Wish No Rate Cut. An effort to show that the cost of producing steam and hot water heat has not decreased during the last year was made today by the Merchants’ Heat sRd Light Company on the opening of its hearing before the public service commission on the commission's motion for a revision of the rates. The old rates have expired and neither the Merchants’ Company nor the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company filed a petition for an increase. The hearing in the Indianapolis Company case will open at 10 o'clock Monday morning. In opening the case J. W. Fesler, attorney for the Merchants’ Company, said the company is not asking for an increase; but that it believes that the rates for both steam and hot water should remain as they are. He said operation costs have not decreased and that a drop in the price of coal has been offset by high freight rates. He said the quantity of property is about the same as ? year ago. Samuel ABhby, corporation counsel for the City of Indianapolis, replied by showing that the company already had received rate increases amounting to nearly 100 per cent and hat at the same time it has increased radiation requirements which he said meant substantitlly an increase in rates. He declared that the present rate of 39 cents a square foot is excessive. He added that conditions have changed to make costs lower and that this should be taken into consideration. An audit made by the public service commission was then placed in evidence After this wag done the company introduce! witnesses to show that the cos* of coal has not dropped materially and that operation costs are also maintaining their high level.

PARTY LEADERS LAY PLANS FOR REGISTRATION Hope to Enroll More Than Half of Voters of City Tomorrow. NOTARIES TO BE ACTIVE Democratic and Republican party leaders said today that their organize tlons are in shape to bring voters to the registration places tomorrow and that they expect before the end of the day more than 60 per cent of the total vote will have been registered. Both parties have had notaries in the field for several days and both are making plans for an intensive crusade to bring in the appli cations. The last registration day Is Oct. 10. No one can vote in November who does not register .on or before Oct. 10. Registration workers have been urging voter: to comply with th@ law tomorrow so tha* there will be no 'danger of them post ponieg action until too late. Republicans claim that their notaries have signed up more than 10,000 voters since they started work two weeks ago. The Democrats have not made so extensive- a drive as the Republicans, but it was said at city headquarters that the few notaries who have been at work have accomplished much. Most of the Democratic effort ia tile field ia to be exerted in cleaning up the stragglers between the registration days, City Chairman Thomas S. Meeker said. The Democratic organization in the Tenth Ward has obtained the best results so far, Mr. Meeker said, the registration of Democratic voters there being practically complete. Notaries have been on duty at the ward headquarters at Hoyt and State avenue for some time. Democrats were circulating a story to the effect that the Republicans are having some difficulty in getting their negro voters to register. At Republican beadquarters It was said that this is true tv some extent, but that this condition prevails in every registration period. The colored voters, il was said, do not take much interest in registration until the | campaign warms up.

Glvan Both Democratic and Republican party officials are faced with the necessity ol economixing because of lack of funds Leaders In both parties say they expect big contributions later. It is no secret that the Democrats expect to g-t fundt from Republicans whom they believe ar< opposed to Mr. Shnnk and that they are making every effort to make a big showing of strength in order to convince ouch potential contributors that their money will not be wasted. The Republicans, it is well known, know that thf Democrats hare bad such plans In mind for some time and have been taking slept to counteract them.

WAR SEETHING IN C. A STATES U. S. Naval Forces In Trouble Zone Enlarged to Combat Trouble. WASHINGTON. Sept. 9.-Ail of Central America is fast becoming a cauldron of trouble which may boll over at any moment In serious fashion, it was said in official circles today. The whole situation is such that diplomatic and naval officials are watching closely every department and are prepared to act promptly. Naval forces for some time have been kept within hailing distance of this region. under directions of the commander of the so-called "special service squadron.” This squadron, organized some months ago. is designed especially for quick action on the turbulent coasts below our southern borders. It was learned that in view of the threatening state of affairs in Central America, these forces have been augmented and it is known that naval units have been on the scene of threatened trouble in Nicaragua and nearby points, including Panama. The outbreak ia Panama, and particularly the one now going on in Nicaragua, is regarded by officials as merely an indication of what may happen later on a greater scale.

The Wm. R BLOCK CO.

Already marines are occupying Haiti, Santo Domingo, Nicaragua, Cuba and are hovering near Panama and Costa Rica, ready to take a hand In those countries at an instant’s notice. The Nicaraguan situation is a fair sample of condition with which American diplomats are dealing. Nicaragua has Just succeeded in repelling an invasion from Honduras and, steadied by the presence of American naval forces, is now regarded as in a better situation than she was. But the invading forces are understood to have been Nicaraguan insurgents, encouraged by certain radical elements In the confederation formed by Honduras, Guatemala and Costa Kica. Nicaragua refused some time ago to Join the confederation; consequently the turbulent element in the confederation not only encouraged insurrection In Nicaragua, but permitted the Invasion of that country by Its own insurrectos, from the borders of a supposedly friendly nation. Occupation of territories In this trouble are regarded as a strong possibility in the near future. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—The end of the long dispute between Panama and Costa Rica over the Coto district, which at one time caused open warfare between the two countries, and led to the dispatch of sharp notes and a battalion of marines from the United States, was signalized today. The State Department was informed officially that Costa Rica had accomplished peacefully the possession of the district and there was no trouble.
