Mi FOREIGN WAN talk at mm PARLEY Hope to Avoid Possibility of Economic ' Wrangle. HAS HANDS FULL Discussion of Arms Limitations and Far East Enough. WASHINGTON, Oct. I.—The Administration is distinctly opposed to having the forthcoming conference on limitation of armament take up adjustment of foreign, loans. While, generally speaking, the United Btates is willing to discuss any question which has a bearing on armament and international peace and stability, high official? of the Administration feel it would be a mistake to Introduce such a momentous issue into the program of a conference called primarily to limit anna. Tnent and settle disputes. NOTHING GIVEN' OUT FOR PUBLICATION.
Not a word was uttered for publication on the matter, but it was made plain the United State* looks with distinct disfavor on the agitation now being conducted in certain quarters abroad to bring up the question of indebtedness next No vent her. It is the opinion of officials her* the conference will have its hands full in dealing with armament limitation and settling the controversial questions of the Pacific without undertaking settlement of such a collossal matter as the foreign loans. “The Administration feels,” said one high official, “that introduction of the foreign loan Issue would be bringing tfftraneous matters into the conference which might endanger sue*-ess of the effort* to reach an understanding on armament and the Far East." Three countries to be represented at the conference owe the United S'a'es approximately 59.000 000 000. Great Britain owes $4,000,000,001; France, J 2.000.000.000, and Italy 52.000 COO.OCO. MAT HOLD FINANCIAL CONFERENCE LATER. Officials declined to comment on possibility of a financial conference to immediately follow the conference on armament*. which is being proposed abroad as lun alternative to th plan to bate the Pirmsmect conference and al wit i the qu. s tlon. Attention was caßed to the fact that the Penrose bill, granting the ge-retary of the Treasury practically unlimited authority to arrange settlement of the loans ,now is before the Senate, with little likelihood of it being pasted. Until Congress gives the Administration some grant of authority to negotiate a sett’ement the Administration ran do little, it was to break the question of payment to the debtor nations. BURRIS TAKES SUPERVISION OF STATE SCHOOLS Urges Better Rural Schools and More Teachers of Good Training.
■Problems confronting the school ad ministration in Indiana and plans for tbeir solution were discus- u in a sta\ njent by Benjamin J. Burris, who be came State superintenuenf of public in ■truetion today. Mr. Burris succeeds L. N. Hines who became president of the Indiana Normal School at Terre Haute The statement covers the questions of Vetter rural schools, bettor teachers and better training, school sanitation anu health, compulsory school attendance and other problems. A part of the statement follows: . "The most backward feature of lehool Ifcc.k In Indiana is in the rural school* is true in practically every State Hk Vnion. Wh<o we have gome ex* Wit rural schools, as good as can '><■ ffund anywhere, at the same time we have some altogether out of keeping with the times. 6 000 ONE-ROOM KCHOOLB IN’ STATE. “Indiana still has 5.000 one-room schools —many of which are unsightly. Insanitary, Inadequately heated, lighted and equipped—seated on a little treeless spot of ground; In short, destitute of nearly everything essential to a twentieth cen fury up-to-date public school plant; and while some of Indiana's best and most devout teachers are at work In these one-room schools, a great many of them are under the control of Inexperienced teachers who are under the age of iwenty, whose academic and professional training consists of not more than twelve to twenty-four weeks beyond the high school. Moreover, these teachers have from six to eight grades and often thirty levitations. They have the most trying end difficult task of any teacher md st.ll they are practically without profcs sional help and supervision, an the county superintendent by reason of our rural school organisation 's made mere of a clerk and office man than anything else. He can visit his teachers scarcely more than once a year and then only for a few moments. Again, these young teachers have not had an opportunity in our teachers’ training system to pursue a course especially adapted to tho work of ’he rural teacher Not until recently lias Indiana made any plans to distinguish between training teachers for city school work and training teachers for (Continued on Page Two.)

SENATE IS POLLED WASHINGTON. Oct. 1. —If only because its opponents are unable to agree on a subject that would command a majority vote, the pending tax revision bill *'lll be passed by the Senate with some modifio#tlons. Republican leaders predicted today. A divided opposition also will prevent the adoption of Senator Smoot's manufacturers’ sale tax plan In lieu of the pending measure, tt was as sumed. although it was conceded Smoot may receive more support than was at first anticipated by Administration leaders. Hlmplit!<-ation of the prevent tax system, provided by the Smoot plan, has won the approval of a number of Republican uml Democratic Senator* and the big drive' in support of the sales tax idea being conducted br influential ’U9iiuf:tcttiring ia terests also is liuvL; g its effect. SMOOT* RETROACTIVE FLAX TO HK REJEC TED. One of Smoot's proposals, the making of the proposed repeal of the excess profit* tax retroactive to Jan. 1. 19-1, although first put forth by tie* Administration, 1* considered certain to lie re jeeted. A poll of the Republican side by Hetia tor Curtis, Kansas. Republican whip, is said lo have revealed only two Repnb llcan Senators opposed to abolition of the excess profits tax -Senator* Kenyon of lowa and LaFollette of YV.scouMn. But a preponderance of sentiment was found in favor of making the repeal as of Jan. 1, 1922, as provided In tho pending bill. Several Republican Senators, Including Borah of Idaho, were not included in the poll, it was stated, but there wero enough In favor of the repeal to insure the ex ceus profits tux being wiped out Ht the end of the present calendar year. TRANSPORTATION TAX REPEAL LIKELY. The "agricultural bloc" Is leading the opposition to tho proposed retention of 50 per cent of the present transportation taxes on freight, Pullman and passenger rates for the next calendar year and it is believed the amendment of Senator •McNary, Republican, Oregon, to abolish all transportation taxes except that on oil transported by pipe line will prevail. The bitter fight being waged over the proposed elimination of all income surtaxes above 32 per cent may result In a compromise being effected so as to fix the surtax maximum at about 40 per cent. Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wisconsin, with a proposal of a surtax maximum of 00 per cent, and Senator Simmons, Democrat, North Carolina, with an amendment for a surtax of not less than 52 per cent are leading the attack against what is termed the “shifting of taxation from the ultra wealthy.” Capitol Ave. Home Raided as ‘Joint’ Twenty-four pints of whisky and a gallon of “white mule" were found by Federal officers and the police in the home of Jesse Schaeffer, 1920 North Capitol avenue, today. Schaeffer was arrested charged with operating a blind tiger.

COAL PRICES TO BE KEPT LOW IF U. S. CAN HELP Unemployment Conference Will Try to Prevent Famine This Winter. WASHINGTON, Oct. L—Secretary of Commerce Hoover, in behalf ov Frenident Hording, 1* preparing n n npiaail to the country to put into effect at one® tile emergency recommendations of the national unemployment conference. The appeal probably will be adilree*ed to Governors, mayors, Icodtng tiwnnfact nrers and labor leaders. WASHINGTON, Oct. I.—Effort* were! being made by committees of the na tlonal uuemploy uicnt conference today to force down the price of coal and to • prevent higher prices when winter ai creases th® demand. As yet no concrete plan of fiction bn* been evolved bi t Government Cgurei In
dicate that unices some steps nra ’sUen a coal shortage with ‘•famine pri-es” \~.Ay como Tilth any increased industrial activity on the usual winter demands. Coal production so far this year is the lowest since 1600. H is the belief of Secretary of Com moron Hoover mid other Administration leaders that the first step should be a rut in coal prices, in aecordan-o with the conference’s recommendation that all prices bn brought down. The next step in the Adtuinistratic .’s opinion must be settlement of disputes between operators and union miners In various parts of the country which are cutting down production. Official Government figures show that nonunion miners in many sections ar# working six days a week at a lower daily wage than the unionists, but are netting much more each week because the organized miners are able to work only part time. The national coal agreement between the operators and miners regarding wages and working conditions expires next March with strikes already looming up over the question of Its renewal. Efforts may be made in the conference to obtain an agreement that this question be submitted to arbitration. Ilnrdang was understood to be considering issuing an appeal to Governors and mayors urging them to proceed "at once” to carry out the recommendations of the conference which decided that, the unemployment distress primarily Is a community problem. The President, it was reported, also may direct a messnge to Congress asking the two bodies to go to the limit with appropriations which would provide needvd work on Federal projects.
