BLOOMINGTON. Ind . Sept. 10 Facing the hardest schedule that an Indiana l diversity team ever has been called upon to complete, in -biding the intersectional contest with Harvard anil four stiff conference games, Jumbo” Stiehm, coach of (he Indiana University eleven, in an interview here today, declared that the “outlook might be much "brighter.’' "Me have lost all three quarterbacks. Faust, ('ravens a:.d Mathys." Siehm said. "In addition to tha.. we have no center left Pierce was graduated last year and t-ohrel has been -tecared ineligible by the student affairs committee. M’e have also lost Captain Ridley, left tackle, and Harold Mumby, guard, by graduation." M'ith only three weeks from the opening practice, Kept. 1.5. until the Harvard contest at Cambridge. Oct. 8, Coach Stiehm feels that he will have a hard task tilting the gaps left in his machine of last year. M hether or not members of last year's freshman squad will return in sufficient numbers to bolster up the weak spots remains to be seen, and if they do, the time for getting the men into condition is so short that Slehm Is not optimistic. The Indiana coach is uaturnily conservative, howev’er, and in view of the fact that definite assurances have been received of the return of many of last year's Irishman eleven, followers of football here are not downcast over prospects They are already making preparations for the game with Franklin College at Bloomington. Sept. 24. Following the Frankiln game, Indiana will go into action at Bloomington again on Oct. 1 with Kalamazoo College. Both of these contests are expected to attract a large following. not only because of the contests themselves, but particularly because of the indications they wilt give of Indiana's chances against Harvard. The - Cream and Crimson eleven in both of these games will no doubt be playing under the eyes of Harvard scouts. Coach Stiehm is not overlooking the importance of the early season games, as shown by the fact that negotiations are now under way for motion pictures of the games. An Indianapolis film company will take action pictures, both for their exhibition value and for tbe correction of errors in individual play at a class in the theory and practice of football to be held in tbe men's gymnasium throe times a week At these classes St‘.ehn will point out to bis players their errors, as shown by the screen version of tneir previous play, and will demonstrt te to the men how these errors can be avoided in future games.

Special to Indiana Daily Times ' and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.— Hearings are to be conducted by the Uuited States Shipping Board in New York Oct. 4 and 5 to determine whether the contract with the International Mercantile Marine Com pany has with the British government is of such a character as to prejudice the chartering of American ships by th< company. P. A. S. Franklin, president of the steamship company, appeared before the hoard Friday and submitted the new contract / between the company and th< British government which apparently exempts ships under American registry from its provisions. The new contract made in June of this year does not mention the clause con tained in the- original agreement which bound the International Mercantile Marine not to "impede nor impair British trade nor the success of the British Mer eantiie Marine,” but it specifically excludes “any and all vessels documented under the laws of the United States” from the provisions of the previous principal agreements. V The charge which had been made in Congress find upon which the board acted was that under the contract existing between the British government and the International Mercantile Marine, every vessel which the company controlled was subject to regulations of the British board of trade in such a way that American shipping could be used to thwart the growth of the American Merchant Marine while under charter to the International Mercantile Marine. The board as the first step adopted a resolution last March requesting the International Mercantile Marine, to change its agreement with the British government so that it could not be applied to any American ships operated by the International Mercantile Marine, under the American flag. Mr. Franklin, following his appearance before the board said: "I am entirely satisfied that this new agreement fully complies with tbe reso lution of the Shipping Board passed at its meeting March 3. 1921, and clearly defines wljat the company has always contended, that its agreement did not apply to American flag vessels which it owns or operates. “I am very glad that a hearing is to be held at New York Oct. 4 or 5 with the object of thoroughly familiarising the new Shipping Board with the affairs of the International Mercantile Marine Company."— Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. WILL TRY TO FIX EXCHANGE High Commission Calls Western Hemisphere Session at Washington. Dec. 21. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. —Stabilization of exchange among the nations of the Western Hemisphere will be undertaken by the inter-American high commission, of which Andrew M . Mellon, Seoretry of the Treasury, is chairman. Secretary Mellon hu* issued a rail for meeings of t.ie national sections of the commission in the capitals of South and Central American countries and in Washington. Dec. 21. Efforts will be made at the sectional meetings to reduce all practical proposals for the stabilization of exchange between the United States and Latin America, and among Latin American nations to reports which will be considered at the session of the high commission, to be held later. Secretary Mellon's action, it was learned, was dostgned to put an end to reports that the United States deliberately was doing nothing to relieve the situation. Reports, circulated in LatinAmerican countries, it is said, have gone as far as lo intimate that the belief was prevailing in many countrips in South and Central America that the United States was using the present disturbed state of the exchange market to its own advantage and did not desire a stabilization of rates. Although financial and economic experts in Washington are certain a permanent restoration of the rates of exchange ?au be 'hieved only through a resumption of normal trade, they hope the exchange of ideas, which will result from the proposed December meeting will provide a basis for plans which will relieve the situation.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

SCHOOL BOARD ISN’T WORRIED BY TAX BOARD Shows Utter Unconcern When Letter Brought Up at Meeting. So far as their atti'ude displayed In | a special meeting Friday afternoon la I < oneerned the majority members of the ; board of school commissioners are not ; highly concerned about the letter which | the State board of tax commissioners I scut to them Wednesday asserting that i the board's request for an $847,000 bond I issue for badly needed construction on j four Indianapolis public school buildings j must be cut to $660,u00 before the State j board will approve it. After the board had passed through a weary two hours of considering routine matters Ralph W. Douglass, business director. said he had another matter to bring to the attention of the board. "I have here,’’ he said, “a communication from the State board of tax commissioners. copies of which were mailed to all members of the board. I understand that one member did not recelv# his copy.” “No,” interposed Mrs. Julia B. Tutowiler, president of the board. “And t just received my copy this afternoon and have not had time lo read it. I think it would be wise to wait until all tha members of the board have had an opportunity to study the communication before we consider it.” . The board members smiled, agreed ! the meeting was adjourned. The next , sessions will be next Tuesday afternoon | and evening. RAISE HIGH | SCHOOL TUITION. Authority for the payment of $75,000 of I the approximately $107,000 duo John A, ! Schumacher on the general contract f<gk | the new first unit building of the Arsenal ! Technical Schools was granted. When • question as to whether the floors wen* | constructed and finished according to specifications was brought up the board* instructed the business director to confer with the architects as to the possibility and probable cost of putting them |in shape. They have a dirty appearance. It was said. Release of the balance duo the contractors was held up because of this matter. Nonresident tuition fees for the coming school year were fixed at $l5O for high school students and $75 for grade pupils. This affects children who are residents of other municipalities but wish to attend Indianapolis schools without transfer* from the schools of their towns or cities. It was understood the move was directi ly intended to ass- ct children residing in Woodruff Place uo attend Indianapolis ! schools because ,iere are no schools la j tlieir town. Seve,.il months ago the board determined not to renew a contract with the town government of Woodruff Place by which its children were permitted to attend Indianapolis schools at what was considered a ridiculously low rate. The new tuition fee is far above the former flat rate for the tntirc school population 'of the town paid by Woodruff Place. Mr. Douglass said he has been informed the Woodruff Place tewn board has raised its school tax levy from 12.5 cents of last I .vear to 60 cents to meet the increased rate fixed by the local school board. Final acceptance was voted on the electrical contract at the Arsenal Technical School's first unit building, heat- . ing at School No. 22. hen tin. ventilating and plumbing at School No. 58. plumbing at School No. 52. and general contracts of ; Schools No. 26 and 21.
