DELEGATES IN READINESS FOR SECOND SHOCK (Continued From Page One.) I tifying the Philippines, Guam, the Midway Islands and itamna; provided Japan refrained from fortifying her Insular outposts in the Western Pacific. Far and away the overshadowing item on *uch an American program would be tho Anglo-Japanese alliance. It is directly and dssolubly connected with the Hughes naval limitation proposals. Under those proposals the British Empire Is assigned an eventual fleet of 500,000 tons, America 300.000 tons, and Japan 300,000 tons. There was undoubtedly method in America’s apparent madness in oflTerlng out of hand to allow the British and Japanese allies an aggregate naval strenth nearly twice the amount America proclaims she will be satisfied with. Our "generosity" can only mean that we intend tin.: those allies shall break up their military and naval alliance. Secretary Hughes presumably would put forward proposals for a "baals of understanding’’ on principles and .policies in the Far East and the Pacific lust as he expects his naval proposals to form a "basis of understanding.” The Far Eastern suggestions above enntn erated embrace what are known to be the United States’ primary considerations. If Japan comeg forward with counter-suggestions—such as an expression of her necessity to expand on the mainland of Asia—it is certain such proposals will bo viewed benevolently by the United States. Great Britain, too, may be expected to advance ideas of her own regarding the Pacific. VENTILATION OF VIEWS RESULT. The net result will be a ventilation of view* bound, In America's' Judgment, to extract the probabilities of war from the eastern situation. But on tho necessity for stopping aggression and landgrabbing and abolishing special privileges in China and Siberia, the attitude of the United States will be fojnd firm and unyielding. It may develop that Secretary Hughea will take occasion to say rtie United States can not scrap her modern battle fleet If tbe possibility of needing it on the other aide of tho world continues. Although America dramatically has projected armament limitation lnt) the forefront of conference discussion, It mutt not be forgotten. In other W'>rds. that from the outset she has tied up the Far East with it. If America ,is denied complete satisfaction In the Pacific the conference may hear abe is not minded to do away with her aea-fighting forces. Secretary Hughea announced in his opening address that there was a conflict of opinion as tc whether the conference proper should tackle armament first or second. The circumstance that the American delegation has come forward at once with Us armament proposal does not necessarily Imply that the conference will discuss them before considering Far Eastern affairs. Hitherto it has been the definite conviction of the United States that the Far East, as the world’s remaining principal breeder of war. should take precedence over ways and means for limiting tbe machinery of war. Secretary Hughes indicated Saturday that the two topics might be considered simultaneously. There is good reason to think his action in so Immediately and forcefully giving the world America's views on naval limitation was a concession to American public opinion. There has been an organised deluge of pressure on President Harding during the past few weeks not to let "disarmament” be sidetracked. Apparently it was decided to be the politic thing to convince our own people without delay that tbe Adminlstra tion means business in the direction of lifting tbe “staggering burden” of naval competition. But it would be for tbe conference to decide—now that our naval cards are on the table—in just wbat order the armament limitation problem shall be taken up.—Copyright, 1921. by Public Ledger Company.

POLITE BANDIT, EARLY VISITOR, ROBS GROCER University Heights Storekeeper Plundered of Small Cash at Point of Gun. BIG SAFE HAULED AWAY Hold-up men. yeggmen, burglars and automobile thieves operated in and near Indianapolis during toe week-end and few thieves were arrested. Early today a lone highwayman held up and robbed a grocer at University Heights, south of the city, and escaped. Lowery Tomey, one of the proprietors of the Scherer & Tomey grocery store at University Heights, reached the siore at 6 o’clock this morning. He found a young man in front. The stranger was pleasant and polite and talked to Tomey while the grocer was unlocking the bread box and taking bread and cakes into the store. Suddenly the young man drew a revolver and covered Tomey, ordering him to ’’fork over the money.’ Tomey gave the hold'up man a red sack containing sls In sliver. Then the thief ordered the grocer to open the safe. From the safe the man took a bag containing $25 in silver. Then the man backed out of the store and walked In tho direction of a brick residence. some distance from the grocery. The town marshal was notified. He reported the robbery to the Indianapolis police. The emergency squad was sent, but failed to find the thief. Marks on the ground indicated that the robber had an automobile bidden near the brick house. AUTO FILLED WITH SUNDRIES. Two men who are believed to have robbed a drug store in Shelhyvllle and to have stolen an automobile from the proprietor, Dr. Ray, were arrested In Indianapolis at 1 o'clock this morning. They gave their names as William Welnhart, 16, and Joe Herring.. 18, both of St. Louts but later confessed they were Paul Blue, 18, 1615 North New Jersey street, and Burk Ray 16, 943 Massachusetts avenue. The machine was filled with safety razors, fountain pens and other articles which’ the Shelhyvllle police say were taken from the store. The youths are held on charges of being fugitives from Justice and vagrancy under bonds of SSOOO. The automobile found in the possession of the pair was owned by Ray's uncle, druggist of Shelhyvllle. Detectives say the two admitted stealing Dr. Kay s automobile, but denied robbing the store. The police say the two confessed to stealing an automobile from near Shortrlrtge High School a week ago. This car was owned by David Duncan. 425 North Davidson street. Duncan's home also was entered and the police allege Blue and Ray are the burglars who took a saxophone, a trombone, some rings and sets, two watches a lavalter and a revolver. Duncan's automobile was found In Terre Haute. Most of the articles stolen from Duncan's home were recovered in Indianapolis pawn shops. Yeggmen dragged a 1.000 pound safe from the William H. Mendell grocery. 704 Indiana avenue, early yesterday. The safe contained between S6OO and S,OO in cash and checks. Tho thieves hauled the safe around the corner in the alley to a ! garage owned by Gus Edwards, negro, | 726'-i North California street. The bottom was knocked out of the safe with an , ax. and the contents taken. Thieves entered the grocery of G. A. j Sahakian, 606 South Illinois street, and j $l4O was missing from a cash register.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 14,1921.

BALFOUR WILL ACCEPT WITH RESERVATIONS (Continued From Page One.) j termining how far they can go in ac- ; eepting it. The first flush of general approbation has given way to the necessity of hard, matter-of-fact consideration of each proposal made by Secretray Hughes. Both Great Britain and Japan have approved the epochal suggestions of America only “in principle,” which Is tantamount to saying approve the general idea of reducing existing navies and regulating future building. A cold analysis of the utterunoes of the delegates since Secretary Hughes tossed his bombshell Into the peaceful quiet of Saturday's meeting, reveals that none of them have gone further than approving "the principle” laid down, admiring the boldnem of Its presentation and expressing the hope that au agreement can be reached. FLAT “YES” OR “NO" LONG WAYS OFF. The impression prevails In official quarters that it will be a considerable time before the visitors from London and Toklo will be In a position to flatly say “yes” or “no” to the concrete terms as proposed by this Government. The delegates to the conference are known to be clothed with power and authority unusually great, but they were unprepared for anything as far reachingas tbe American program. Already the cables have carried the American proposals to the capitals of the world and they will have to receive careful minute consideration of British and Japanese cabinets before there can be a flat committal. This may take a considerably longer time than has generally been expected. In Toklo anew cabinet is Just coming Into existence under the leadership of Baron Takahashl. In London the government is beset by many difficulties, c' which tbe Irish question Is the foremost. WATCH RESULT ON JAPANESE PUBLIC. Officials of this Government are anxiously awaiting the reaction of tbe proposals upon public opinion In Japan. Thus far the cables have not Indicated the manner in which the news of America's history-making step was received generally in Japan. It Is significant, perhaps, that the American State Department caused the speech of Secretary Hughes and the detailed program he laid down to be “broadcasted" to the world. State Department i-fflcials wanted to guard against possible "garbled versions" of the program appearing before the peoples most directly concerned. Meanwhile, the committee on limitation of armament, comprising tbe leaders of the five big powers Is in session behind closed doors to discuss the program of proceedure and map out a working plan. If all goes well, the mechanism of the conference should be well oiled for the resumption of the main conference tomorrow. Following the meeting of the five leaders—Hughes, Balfour, Tokugawa, Brtand and Schanzer—the heads of all the delegations, were lo meet and take similar action with respect to a working program for consideration of "Far Eastern questions.” AGREE TO TALK ONLY CONFERENCE MACHINERY, The understanding prevailed that the meeting of the "big five” waa to be devoted entirely to consideration of the conference machinery and not to diacus alon of tbe merits of America’s naval proposition. Secretary Hughes has indicated to the visiting delegates the American desire for speed. The American delegation wants For Eastern questions to be taken up simultaneously with naval matters, in order that the "little fellows" —China, Belgium, Portugal and The Netherlands will not be left to cool their heels while the btg powers play the game of give* and take with their navies. It Is understood Hughes has prepared a definite working program for consider atlon of the big five, and little difficulty was anticipated In reaching agreement. The naval experts of Great Britain and Japan are still busily engaged In applying the terms of the American plan to tbelr respective navies. The British experts already have had considerable communication with London.

‘COMPATIBLE WITH BRITISH INTERESTS' LONDON, Nov. 14.—Scrotary of State Hughes’ proposals for limitation of naval armaments are compatible with British Interests, according to an official statement Issued from Premier Lloyd George’s Downing street office today. "The proposals are ambitious, but as the conference has an ambitious project, they were not surprising.” the statement said. “They are compatible with British interests.” At the daily press conference it was stated no further announcement* would be made and no action taken by the Gov. ernment pending arrival of the official report from the British delegation at WasL'ngton. ‘TECH’STRONG IN BUTLER CONTEST Former ‘High’ Students Win Freshmen Honors.

BUSINESS MEN WILL DISCUSS LOWER TAXES National ‘Budget Guard’ Meeting to Be Held Thursday Noon.

The support of the Indianapolis Bar Association and of the Employers’ Association is also being given to the meeting. Flying squadrons of prominent business men are making talks on elimination of waste and duplication in the Fed j eral Government In 888 cities in the United States and the meeting in Indian apolis Thursday is one of (he stops. Samuel McCune Lindsay, professor of political science of Columbia University and vice chairman of the board of directors of the national budget committee, and a recognized authority ou politi ieal science and social legislation, will make one of the addresses. John T. l’ratt, chairman of the board of directors of the national budget committee, formerly general manager of the | department of military affairs of the | American Red Cross in Paris, and a ! prominent New York City lawyer, will make the other address. At a meeting at the Indiana National Bank today, attended by Evans Woollen, Felix McWbirter, John B. Reynolds, : h rank D. Stalnaker and others, it was decided to ask the cooperation of all tbe ousincas organizations in the city in getting as many people as possible to the meeting. A permanent organization for Indianapolis will be made at that time. The program of the national budget committee, a nonpartisan organization, ivhich for years has sponsored the national budget system • and business administration of governmental affairs, has , been indorsed by Preside*! Harding and I * T ' n - Charles G. Daws, director of the ! budget. , Evans Woollen, who is taking an active interest in the local movement, said. , "In the present crisis which calls for the 1 most widespread popular support of na- ; tional economy and curtailed expeudi- : tures, a number of busy men have cuni celed important brndness aud professional engagements to perform u civic j dhty in arousing the taxpayers to the necessity for organized support of the work of Charles G. Daws in Washington.” “As private citizens, we cannot participate in the official investigations and 1 ; technical studies of the budget bureau, ■ but we can keep alive ‘the treasury con- I science which General Daws has suc- ! ct-eded in arousing."

BOARD O’WORKS TAKEN TO TASK BY CONTRACTOR Warm Dispute Over ‘Veiled Threat’ to Turn Down Lowest Bid. fresh trouble In the long controversy between the Sheehan Construction Company and tlie board of pub!i< works ! arose today when the board made what j Marie X. A. Walker, attorney for the j contractor, took to be a veiled threat that ! the contract for the East Tenth street | main sewer would not be let to Sheehan. I the lower bidder, unless Sheehan agrees ; not to bring suit for compensation for the costly delays the board caused in the const ruction of the Fifty -Sixth street and Westfield road main sewer. T The board's disguised attempt was labeled "unheard op’ and “outrageous" by the attorney and his client, who left the board's office In Indignation. The Sheehan Construction Company was awarded the contract for the FiftySixth street and Westfield road main sewer several months ago. After the con tract was let Eugene Sheehan, head of the contracting company, discovered that the board of works had failed to effect an agreement with the Indianapolis Water Company for a right of wav for the sewer under the canal at Fifty Sixth street. | hile the board dallied over this seven weeks og summer weather slipped by. The contractor claims that an added expense of from *IO,OOO to $20,000 was occasioned by this delay, and It has been hald that he Intend* to sue the board for compensation for the amount. Last week Sheehan again was the lowbidder on the East Tenth street msln sewer. He made three low proposals, the lowest of which was for the use of Ferguson segmental bloek at a total price of $105,866. The board called Sheehan before it to day and in a round about way naked about some "threats" board members said they had heard. Attornel Walked pulled the oratorical curtains aside and directly accused the board of trying to trade immunity from suit for what he considered Its mistake upon the canal crossing matter in return for the contract, which the con tractor was entitled to anyway because of his low bid. President Mark H. Miller of the board announced that the contract will be awarded to somebody some time this week. PUNCHES WOMAN RIGHT IN MOUTH Guy Stewart, 2.3. 1242 Minnesota street.

VAN BRIGGLE GIVEN FOUR YEARS TERM (Continued From Page One.) ease lo the court., he referred to the minutes of Jan. 13. 1920, in which it was stated that the Rev. C. L. Howe "delivered a prayer suitable to the occasion.” This aroused the immediate interest of the court and Judge Anderson said: "Is this prayer inserted in the proceedings?” v He seemed disappointed when told that the prayer was not of record. When the defendants were called up for sentence, Mr. Van Nuys gave a brief outline of the case, laying particular stress on the charge that a 10 per cent dividend had been declared by the board of directors when the company was as a matter of fact insolvent. This dividend was paid from borrowed , money and money obtained through the sale of stock, he said. Mr. Itomlnger got $6,120 by taking two notes given by Tipton County farmers for $5,000 each from the safe and having these notes cashed, he asserted. WHAT DID FARMERS GET? "What did these farmers get?” Judge Anderson asked. “They got stock,” Mr. Van Nuys answered. The district attorney also laid stress on the fact that in many instances Van Briggle sold hia own personal stock given to him for promotion purposes and for which he paid nothing to customers who believed they were buying treasury stock, the proceeds of which were to be used for the erection of a Canadian factory. Attention was also given to the representations made through the mails regarding the financial condition of the company to prospective purchasers of stock, and these representations according, to Mr. Van Nuys were false in many particulars. Mr. lan Nuys said that the money lost by Investors had ranged from $100,009 by an Indianapolis business man, later Identified as Frank Hilgemeier. down to the savings of poor people. Something like $50,000 Mr Van Nuys said he felt certain had been obtained by Van Briggle and Rominger. and about $400,000 simply had disappeared. MAKES plea FOR ROMINGER. In all fairness to Mr. Rominger Mr. Van Nuys said, it should be stated that he had not disposed of any of hi spromotion stock. A plea that Mr. Rominger be allowed to go with ' only a fine, was made by Charles L Miller, his attorney. He pointed out the previous fine record of Mr. Rominger, and the fact that as president of the Indianapolis Fancy Grocery Company he always had enjoyed a splendid reputation. He said that as a result of his relations with Van Briggle, Rominger was now on the verge of insolvency, where he had been worth about $125,000 when the project was entered into. He said Mr. Rominger had paid out $35,000 mere than he received from the company and was indorser on about SI3O,iX)O of paper. Clarence Nichols precipitated the avalanche when he arose to make a plea for Van Briggle. His statement was that Van Briggle was no more guilty than others, and this point came in for a lot

of attention from Judge Anderson, who demanded to know who these persons were. He said that all members of the board of directors— knew the circumstances and others were cognizant of it. THINK ALL EQUALLY GUILTY. “If you know any others who ought to be indicted name them,” the court said. Finally Mr. Nichols said: “I think every member of the board if directors is equally guilty with Vau Briggle and Rominger.” COURT SCORES DEPENDENTS. In passing sentence Judge Anderson said: “The fact that Mr. Rominger bore an excellent reputation is no excuse. This fact is really against him. It caused people to say, ‘This concern must be all right. Mr. Rominger is connected with it.' Men must be careful about lending their names to such adventurers. | “As for Mr. Van Briggle he may have thought he had a big thing, but that is no excuse for later false representations made by him as to the condition of the company. It was just a bold, bald, false raw scheme to rob such persons as this nurse who has been mentioned here and the mails were used generously In doing it. “How could a case be worse? Here is Mr. Van Briggle, a man who is a member of the legal profession. He was infatuated with the idea of getting rich quick. Am I to sit here and send bootleggers and petty offenders to jail and gloss over this kind of wrong doing? “As for Mr. Rominger, the statute does not provide that because a defendant ia 72 years of age and has a wife that he should go free 1n case of wrong doing. Mr. Rominger took $6,200 to which he was not entitled and there is no explanation except dishonesty. I do not propose to sit here and send young poor and ignorant persons to the penitentiary and ( let mature highly intelligent and re- ; spectnble people off Mr. Rominger then interrupted to say that* he had drawn the dividend on the report of C. M. Foster, auditor, stating that the company had a surplus of $47,000. This brought the remark from Mr. Van Briggle that Foster was the worst one in the bunch. “Is Foster in the room.” Judge Anderson demanded and Foster came forward. “Did you represent to Rominger that this company had earned $47,000,” Judge Anderson asked him. Foster started in a lengthy explanation about charging for advertising and experimental costs, but did not get very far. “I am not interested in bookkeeping,” the court said “answer my question.” Foster finally said he knew the company never had made any money. District Attorney Van Nuys then arose and said. “The truth is that Foster wa* directed to make these false reports by Van Briggle until he refused and would not do so any longer. Van Briggle then went to the office with a bottle of whisky and put out the lights and would not lee him finish his work.” '•■Where was Brother Howe while this was going on?” the court interjected. Mr. Van Nuys said the whole affair had been thrashed ,)ut before the Federal grand jury when the case was considered last spring. After sentence had been passed Morris Rominger, son of Henry 8. Rominger, fainted and was carried from the •*“- room.
