CHINA IS ABLE TO SEE FUTURE IN GOLDEN GLOW War in Southern Part Cited as Proof of Her Awakening. HOPE IN ARMS MEET • WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-—The uprising in South China is “proof that China is awakening to her possibilities,'’ Feng Uuu Huang, secretary to the Chinese delegation to the armament and Far East conference, declared today. “This war has the appearance of a rebellion of purely military caliber, but as a matter of fact it is merely political warfare," said Huang. “Slient for i enturies, ignored by the great powers, except to be exploited by them, despotic and oligarchic in government for decades uunum bered, China now raises its head and has something to say. “True, this particular disturbance is internal and would suggest to the outsider serious disagreement w thin China. But to us, it means the Chinese people have •begun to take an Interest in their government. The desire of the provinces of Hu Pei and Hua Nan to be granted autonomy precedes the birtb of a spirit of independence that, far from beiug detrimental to China's aims, Is admirably suited to her aims. It is China s wish to stir up the people, to let them know they have a voice and that having it they may be speak and be beard. “Not that the revolt of Hua Nau and Hu Pel provinces and the reported invasion of Nocth China by an army headed by Dr. Sun Yat Sen Is in any way discounted," Huang hastened to make assurance, and continued, “rather is this revolt looked upon as a springing to the surface of a century old des.re on the part of the people to be given a voice In their government. And where they point out dissatisfaction, they will receive dedress. North China proposes to capitalize this spirit of Independence, now finding outlet in a somewhat noisy fashion. It Is from such discontent as this that the nations of the Americans have builded up their powerful governments." Huang pointed out that the original thirteen colonies ofetn came to blows with their neighboring colonies, but they united to battle the common foe." “In this wise will China rise,” Huang stated. YOUTH IS HELD IN ATTEMPT AT JAIL DELIVERY (Continued From Page One.) said to have been offered him to get a weapon and saws to Clint Simms, alias j Shaw, alleged leader of the bank robbers gang, was too much for Nelson and he j lowered the rope from the Jail window Tomorrow when his time is up he will be rearrested on the charge of aiding prisoners to escape. The sheriff had been In biding and had watched Nelson lower th rope. Nelson was found guilty of petit larceny and fined §1 and costs and sentenced to serve thirty days in jail in city court. Nelson was working as a waiter l n the prisoners' dining room on the third Coor of the Jail and this privilege gave him the opportunity to lower the rope through the window. When examined the pistol was found to contain nine steel nosed bullets, one In the firing chamber and eight in the magazine. The six saws were blue steel hack saws that would cut through even the hard steel bars of the Jail. McKinney, the man caught after he tied the saws to the rope has been arrested three times, twice for vagrancy and once for vehicle taking and served sixty days in jail some time ago. He adm'tted he twice visited Simms at the Jail since that man's arrest, and MrKin ey claimed that he knew no other prisoner In the Jail but Simms. He admitted that 5:10 a. m was the time he was to have appeared to tie the weapon and saws to the rope, but that he was fifteen minutes late. The three alleged bank..robbers who have been identified by a number of persons as the men who took part ln the Beech Grove State Bank robbery are Clint Simms, alias Shaw, 20. 468 Division street; George Miller, 24, 547 North Oakland avenue, and Gleun Stout. 26. 140 South Fleming avenue. The latter is alleged to have been the driver of the bandit car that remained in front of the bank with the motor running while two white men and a man who was eithei • negro or blackened up like a negre entered the hank and held up the employes. escaping with money and bonds amounting to $24,400. Miller, Simms and Stout have been Indicted and are scheduled to be arraigned in Criminal Court today. Detectives advance the theory that had one of the three alleged robbers obtained possession of the* automatic pistol that they would have made an attempt to escape from the custody of the officers while being taken from the Jaii to Criminal Court.

The same gang hare been Identified as the men who held up and robbed the Piggly Wiggly grocery store end escaped with about $l,lOO about a week before the Beech Grove robtery. Simms. Miller and Stout were arrested Sept 28. They are charged with robbery and grand larceny. Sheriff Snider has Miller locked up In the “bum row,” as the row of cells on the first floor in the north wing of the Jail is known. Simms and Stout are prisoners in Federal row. as the secondfloor cellroom in the north wing of the Jail is called. LONDON PAPERS WELL DISPOSED Express Cordial Feelings for America. LONDON, Oct. 15.—" Englishmen who worked with Americans by land and fiy sea during the great war will always have a feeling of comradeship for them." said the conservative Morning Post today in commenting upon the forthcoming visit of Gcn-ral Pershing. “On Monday when General Pershing lays the congressional medal upon the grave of England’s ‘unknown warrior.’ both countries will feel more clearly than ever before the blood relationship and traditions existing between them ” The Daily Telegram commented as follows: “We recognize in the decision of the American Government to do homage to the unknown British soldier a tribute to the spirit of the allied armies. It is recognition of brotherhood in service and sacrifice. “It would be fortunate for all the world if, when General Pershing enters the nave of Westminster Abbey, our country and the United States could say, ‘This service In the abbey makes us one.’ ” ' DENIES TAXI DRIVERS’ REQUEST. Judge Arthur R. Robinson today refused to Issue a temporary order which was requested by independent taxicab drivers incorporated under the name of ths Green L ne, and which would have restrained the Indianapolis police from enforcing an ordinance requiring taxicabs not operated from a central point to be equipped with a taximeter and also to have the letters of the names of the •araers prominently displayed on the Tibi. Arguments wars heard, last week.

LOWER FREIGHT RATES URGED BY TRAFFIC GROUP Freight Committee of State C. of C. Would Kill National Agreement. A resolution urging lower freight rates, and taking up other features of the railroad situation, was adopted at a meet lng of members -1 the freight and traffic committee of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, yesterday at headquarters ; of the Indiana State Chamber of Ccm- | merce in this city The resolution Is as follows: j “TVl'erpas, There is at this time a very ■ general depression in practically ail lines j of business, brought about largely in : attempting to readjust prices to pre-war | price levels. ! "Whereas. The price of farm and other products has reeded to practically the 1 pre-war basis, while the price of transportation and of wages paid to transpor j tation employes remain practically at I their highest level known to history, and i that the price of transportation and the wages of railroad employes do not bear ; their proper relation to prices of all other I commodities and wages paid to other | similar classes of employes. “Whereas. The wages paid to transportation employes, together with the so- ! called national agreements—wartime measures—are largely respons'ble for the present high level of freight rates, which has materially narrowed the distribution of all commodities, decreased In a large measure tonnage which the carriers move, j and consequently the carriers' revenue "Resolved, Therefore. By the freight and traffic committee of the Indiana State , Chamber of Commerce that It urge the ; railway executives to make an immediate , horizontal reduction in all freight rates, j and especia'ly on coal, building material. * such as brick, stone, lumber, crushed stone and sand and gravel, and other low-grade commodities, which are mov ing only in small quantities today, doe i to the fact that the freight rates applicable thereto produce charges more than such traffic will bear. 1 “Resolved. That It recommend that the railway executives demand the abroga- ! tion immediately of the so-called national ; agreements and proceed directly with their employes to bring about a proper readjustment of railway wages. “Resolved, That a copy of these resolu- j tions be sent to the chairman of the As ; sociation of Rai’way.

The only ex-service men who can vote in the coming city election in Birmingham.

The State Legislature recently passed a law exempting ex-service men from payment ;of pol'tax The court held the measure j unconstitutional, automatically disenfranchising the former soldiers and sailors. The American Legion found a law. however, which enabled permanently disabled citizens to vote without payment of polltnx, and obtained a ruling that minor physical and efects will constitute the required dlsabtl'tles.

LONDON, Oct. 15.—Arms conference stock at a record low when Premier Lloyd George and other European leaders announced their Inab lity to be present, soared today with the following developments: • Announcement that Lloyd George probably will leave for Washington Nov. 5. Reports from Parts that Premier Briand has planned to extend the limit of a “few days" that he first Intended for his visit to America. Denial that any attempt will be .made by the French Chamber of Deputies to force Briand to remain ln Paris. Announcement of the selection of several of England's most distinguished diplomats as delegates.

The Daily Chronicle, the personal organ of Premier Lloyd George, In commenting upon the reported decision of the premier to attend the Washington conference. said this was the most convincing proof of the British government's recognition of the Importance of he meeting. “If proof were needed that we are in earnest about the grave problems that will be discussed, this furnishes It," said the Dally Chronicle. CHRONICLE SEES CHANCE FOR SUCCESS. The newspaper predicted that the United States, by putting the full weight of her pressure behind her efforts, will have excellent chances of success In the conference. * The premier Is working at full speed “to clear the decks" so that he can get away on Nov. 5.

CONFERS WITH PUBLIC GROUP IN RAIL CRISIS (Continued From Pnjre One.) managing group equally could he ex pected to insist that wages ought to be reduced. It was, therefore, the Pres! dent’s, opinion, that-the most prompt and effective results mlghf] bo secured tv s<m ply calling In the public group, which Is concerned equally a witb u.e inter st- o* labor, of management, of shippers and o' geie rnl community. “The President has been Impressed that a somewhat nnainalous situation surrounds the relations of the Interstate commerce commission and the railway labor hoard. The Interstate cnmnvrce commission has very large powers, in Ps control of rates, to determine what tie revenues of the railroads shall he: while the railway labor board, through its authority In the matter of wage determination, has a very large power In determining the largest Items of railway expenditures. The President was, therefore. Impressed with the desirability of getting these two highly potential bodies together and reaching something like a definite understanding between them. It Is a fact, not entirely without Interest, that these two bodies have never met together officially. “For a long time the President lias ■ •■"’■•b cftentlon to the problem of the railroads. In its largest r< ’a tion. He has been assured persistently . -..tit tout oustues could not make a general and lasting Improvement until railroad rates should come down: nnd on the other side, he has been told Ihnt It was Impossible for rates to come don n unless the wage charge could be lowered. He. therefore, determined to get together the two public bodies, which have to do with wages and rates, and give them every possible encouragement to take a strong lead In the effort at adjustment." DECEPTION IS CHARGED BY UNION WASHINGTON, Oct. 15— Samuel Rea, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, and Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio, were accused today of misrepresenting railroad earnings and operating expenses to the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee by Frank J.

MONEY PAID OUT BY STATE IS HUGE SUM (Continued From Page One.) same. The gross figures are taken for comparison because the net figures aie uot .vet available. The balances on band at the end of each fisi al year are as follows: Sept 30, 1917 $3,413,117 43 Sept. 30. 1918 3.700.161.36 Sept 30, 1919 3,674.851.34 Sept 30. 1920 4,508.397 37 Sept 30, 1921 3.039.490.91 While there Is no marked discrepancy of the balance on band. It is Just as true that the balance on hand which Is sometimes made so much of, means very little. The actual receipts and expenditures are the only index to the economy or truagauce of the Government. The enormous increase in taxes, due not so much to Increased tax ratea but to Increased valuations, is easily ex plained by a glance at the receipts and expenditure figures. As u matter of (act the Government of the State of Indiana is costing just twice as much as It cost at the beginning of Republican rule. GOODRICH THEORY IS DEMONSTRATED. This demonstrates the results of the Goodrich theory of government. Much ofit is due to the extravagance of th highway department under L. H. Wright a Goodrich appointee, during whose ad mtnistrat on millions were spent with out value received. Some of it can hr laid at the door of increasing expenses due to high prices, but the figures show that during the last year, when thcr< has been a sharp decliue ln prices, tb. expenses were highest. Most of the reasou for high cost of State Government can be found ln the ever increasing number of State departments and boards with their literal army of employes who are living from the pocketbooks of the tax payers. The State tax board mis explained time and again that the State tax rate Is lower than tax rates In the various municipalities. This is true, but the aggregate collected from the wealth of the citizens and property owners In the State Is enormous. The following table shows the tax rate for each vear during the last six vears, as compar 1 with the valuation of taxable property . Rate. Valuation J.'ji “} $2,000,420,218 luoo 18 2,233,761,(8 >5 ... 24 •5.400,000,000 •Estimated. Thus it can be seen that, while the value of taxable property has neurly tripled, there has been less than 32 per cent reduction ln rates.
