Governor Miller Hits Deep Waterway Plan SAVANNAH, Ga., Nov. 16.—Governor Miller of New York, addressing the Atlantic deeper waterways convention here today, opposed the proposed St. Lawrence deep sea canal as “impractical" and “an unwarranti and expenditure of public money.” “I sympathize with the desire of our friends of the Middle West for better and cheaper transportation, but that need is common to the entire country,” Miller ■•Said. . ► STREET RAIL CO. ASKED TO MEET CITY’S GROWTH Shank Says Required Improvements Mean No Trouble. If the Indianapolis Street Railway Company will carry out the improvements which the city must have to continue its normal growth and take care of the population it now has it will not have any trouble wita the next city administration. Samuel Lewis Shank, mayor-elect said this In effect to Dr. Henry Jameson, president of the board of directors, and Robert I. Todd, president and general manager of the street railway utility, at a conference with them and the new board of public works at the Clavpool Hotel Monday afternoon, it was learned today. traction men wish TO COOPERATE. The traction men. it is understood, told Mr. Shank that the company desires to cooperate with the city to the limit of its financial ability. They added, it is said, that the company's financial condition is such that practically nothing can be done at the present. Nothing had been said about the conference until Mayor Shank, when asked about it today, admitted that It had been held. He said that none of the specific traction problems, such as paving between tracks, payment of the $500,000 franchise tax, jitney bus competition, cross-town lines and extension of present lines, was gone into. WILL CALL ANOTHER CONFERENCE SOON. “I am going to call another conference with the street car company soon after 1 get back from my vacation trip and we'll.take everything up then,” said Mr. Shank. “I called the street car company men in Monday just to get them acquainted with my new board of works and tell them in a general way that we hoped they would an d the things for the city we want them to.” While no word has come from the mayor-elect to this effect, it is known that prominent members of the new official family feel that the street railway utility has been battered into a financial state such that great care must be exercised in order that it may be rebuilt to a point where it may render efficient service for the citizens who ride the cars every day. Most of the new mayor’s advisers, in private discussions, appear to feel that the attitude of the administration toward the transportation utility should lie one of wis fostering rather ihau blind opposition. COUNTY JOBS BEING EYED BY FAITHFUL (Continued From Fage One.) ( swing to Mr. He turned all of his primary records and snch member* of his organization as were willing to follow him, over to Mr. Shank and then served as one of the principal speakers, i On the other hand, Cochrane men are bidding for Shank support upon the | ground that Edward Sourbler, Cochrane's ( closest friend, was one of the chief con- j tributors to the Shank primary and general 'election campaign funds and a 1 hard personal worker for Shahk success j as well. Cochrane also Is one of the ap- : plicants for appointment to the post- I mastership of Indianapolis. Should he j land this plum he would be out of thei treasurership race. Closo observers.'do not believe he will be the postmaster, however. SEVEN OrT FOR SHERIFF'S JOB. Seven men have been named as possible candidates for the Republican nomination for sheriff. They are Robert F. Miller, former sheriff; Alex Alexander, a candidate for the Republican nomination for county commissioner in the last county primary; Louis Keevcr, George Snider, present sheriff; Claude Worley, investigator for Criminal Court; Clarence Miller, farmer residing near Acton, and Charles W. Brown, negro, custodian of the city hall. lirown is an avowed contender. Leonard M. Quill, secretary of the Republican city committee, hopes to be the nominee for county clerk, it is said and Earl Heller, a teller at the Indiana National Bank, is considered likely to oppose him. Friends of Judge James A. Collins say he will run for nomination for judge of the Criminal Court again and all of the Superior Court jurists are understood to be out for renomination, as is Prosecuting Attorney William P. Evans. J. J. Griffith, county surveyor, also would like to succeed himself, it is said. Dr. Paul Robinson, coroner, may have some opposition for the nomination from Or. George Christian, his chief deputy, it is rumored. LI’TIIEK TEX MAY KIN AGAIN. Luther Tex, a Thirteenth ward Shank worker, who was a Home Ruler four years ago, and who sought the nomination for county commmissioner in the last county primary, may run again. For county recorner Jack Douglas, present county asessor, is mentioned, and James XV. Lamkin, who sought the office before, is an avowed candidate. Carlin Shank, brother of the mayorelect, and now a county commissioner, and Mike Jefferson, township assessor, are talked of for county auditor. Detective Sergeant Resigns From Force George Hanks, IJ4O East Washington street, who holds the rank of detective sergeant on the Indianapolis police force, today handed his resignation to Chief Jerry E. Kinney. Hanks was appointed to the police force on April 18, 1906. He gave as the reason for resigning that he had been offered a position which, if accepted, would necessitate his starting immediately. Under the, “clean sweep” policy of Mayor-elect Shank, Hanks was to be reduced to the grade of patrolman. Hanks was a motorcycle officer and immediately prior to his resignation was a member of the detective automobile squad.

BUDGET TALKS THURSDAY NOON CAUSE INTEREST Tax Reduction Chief Aim Behind Move to Enforce Government Economies. That taxes can best be reduced by business in Government is the message of John B. Reynolds, general secretary of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce in a letter sent to each one of the 4,000 members, urging them to get behind Gen. Charles G. Dawes, director of the'Government budget, by attrtiding a meeting Thursday noon on the eighth floor of the Chamber of Commerce, which will be held for the purpose of discussing the budget. John T. Pratt, a New York attorney, and chairman of the National budget committee, and Dr. Samuel M. Lindsay of Columbia University, will address the meeting on "Government Expenditures.” It is explained by >fr. Reynolds that this meeting is strictly nonpartisan, but is part of a general movement to creat a widespread support of national economy and curtailed expenditures. DAWES’ WORK REACHES CRISIS. According to S. H. Howe, director of the national budget commission of New Y’ork City, who was in Indianapolis Monday and arranged with a committee of citizens composed of Frank D. Stalnaker, Felix iM. McWhirter, Mr. Reynolds and Evans Woollen for this meeting, the work of General Dawes in systematizing and reducing Government expenditures has reached a crisis. “Since General Dawes has been director of the federal budget system he has saved millions of dollars,” said Mr. Howe. “During the first four months of his term of office he saved the Harding Administration $350,000,000, which would have paid for the combined administrations of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Quincy Adams and James Madison.” “Although the prime object of the national budget commission is first to assure it success in the Federal Government, it has given aid to the establishment of budget *ystems in the States of New Jersey. Delaware and Nebraska. However, this aid was given only by request.” INTERIOR BIKMC AIMED AT. “The three factors to which the budget commission is confining its efforts at the present time are: First, to secure the success of the budget system for the United States Government: second, the reorganization of the different departments to eliminate waste and duplication, and third, abolition of the Department of Interior, which department has reused to function for the purpose for which it was 1 founded since the admission of New Mexico and Arizona to the Union.” O. B. lies, a director of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the manufaceurers’ committee, will preside at the meeting. According to Mr. lies’the meeting will close promptly at 1 :Jio o’clock. The Board of Trade, the Retail Merchants’ Association and the Associated Employers of Indlanapo Us are actively cooperating in the arrangements for the meeting.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16. —Renewed fights of railroads ad their employes before the United States Railroad Labor Board over wages loomed today. This followed action of seventy-five Western roads in asking workers of all classes to accept wage reductions.

This will be the procedure In the present case: Railroad exeoutiven and representatives of unions will meet and bargain over wages. If they are unable to agree the case is automatically thrown before the labor board. The labor board is expected to hand down a decision soon on new working agreements.

WOMEN MAY DECIDE FATE OF ARBUCKLE Five in Tentative Jury to Try Fat Movie Comedian. KAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 16.—Will women—who have figured so largely In producing the situation in which Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle now finds himself — cast the deciding vote in determining his guilt or innocence of the charge-of manslaughter? This will be determined today. Five of the eleven tentative jurors in the box when court convened for the third day of film comedian’s trial were women. • The death of a woman, Virginia Rappe, resulted in the charge being brought against the heavyweight funster of the screen. v It was a woman, Bamblna Maude Delmont, who swore t* the original complaint of murder. And fate hovering over the whirling Jury wheel decreed that the names of five of thirteen women in the Jury panel of sixty-five should be drawn first. The twelfth tentative Juror will be chosen soon after court convenes. Then the defense must decide whether the five ] women in the box are to sit in Judg- ] meat-on Arbuckle’s case. They may be removed from, the box by exercise of the peremptory challenges allowed by the law. The defense has savagely attacked the activities of the women’s vigilant committee in connection with the case, hut all of the women Jurors have denied that they would permit this interest of this committee in the case to sway their judgment. “I don’t care whether they are men or ! ! women,” Arbuckle said. “Just so they give me a fair trial." ; Speedier proceedure was in prospect un- | iler the adjurations of Trial Judge Harold | Louderbaek who told counsel thatvtheir j long-winded questions to Jurors ha led | him to the belief they wero putting in j their arguments prior to tho opening of i the trial. i A mild sensation • was sprung when ] Attorney Milton U’ren charged Mrs. Edith Unsworth, one of the five women now tentatively in the jury box, had asked a woman friend to “pray that she might got on the jury." Questioned, the Juror said she bad asked her friend to “pray for her” but not to “pray that she might get on the Jury.” The Jury box was temporarily filled at j 11 a. m. The State then used its first peremptory challenge. HAITIANS EAT U. S. MARINES Such Is Charge Made by New York Man Before Senate Committee. WASHINGTON, Nov. 16—American marines, after being put to death by torture, were eaten by Haitian -bandits, H. M.

Instances of cannibalism cited by j Belkington were those of Brlvate Lawrence, a marine, who was tortured to death and his body eaten and Lieutenant Math, whose body was ealc-n after he had been slain.

M’CARDLE SAYS CITY UTILITIES IN GOOD REPUTE Asserts Statistics Show Service Best in U. S. in Similar Class. Complaints against Indianapolis utility companies received by the public service commission average less than ten a month a company, according to John McCardle, chairman of the public service commission, speaking yesterday at the luncheon given by the Indianapolis Water Company at its new ten million gallon reservoir. Mr. McCardle, reading from a table ] prepared in the commission offices, declared that in the last six months the commission had received nineteen complaints against the water company, none of which had to do with the quality of water supplied. This, he said, was an I average of three and one-sixth per month. Complaints against the Merchants Heat I and I.ight Company numbered five in | six months, he said, while twenty comj plaints had been received against the In- ] dianapolis Light and Heat Company, which supplies a great number of iudii vidital customers as contrasted with the ; Merchants company, which supplies the i city of Indianapolis and other large con- ! sumers. The total number of complaints I received against the gas company was ] twenty-six in six months, an average of ! approximately four and one-fourth per j month. / The largest number of complaints re- | ceived was the number against the Indiana Bp!l Telephone Company, there being ninety-one, an average of a fraction more than fifteen per month. These complaints were checked against a total of more than 2,700,000 calls, or a monthly average of about 450,000 calls. Reviewing these figures, Mr. McCardle complimented the Indianapolis utilities companies on their service. Indianapolis, he said, has the best public utility service and the lowest rates among all the cities in the United States in the sama class. ”It should be borne in mind that despite low rates, which average only a 25 percent Increase over the low pre-war rates, j while other commodities hnve advanced ! tremendously, the public service commission has permitted no company to go bankrupt,” he said. ‘ BLUEBEARD 9 OF FRANCE ADMITS ROBBING WIDOW Landra Dramatically Absolves Wife From Blame of Wrong Doing.
