GARY OFFICIALS FACE BOOZE INQUIRY

NAVAL ADVISERS OF THREE POWERS STILL DEADLOCKED

‘PASS BUCK’ TO DELEGATES ‘No Headway’ Made in 2-Hour Secret Session. BOTH ‘ADAMANT’ Some Believe Nippon Playing Game of ‘Bluff.’ By GEORGE R. HOLMES. WASHINGTON* Nov. 30.—The naval experts of the Uniteu States, Great Britain and Japan met in secret for nearly two hours todaj and failed to break the deadlock which has arisen from Japan’s refusal to ac cept the ratio of 10-10-6 laid down in the original Hughes proposal. When the session broke up. ir' was learned the experts would report to their respective- delegations that no headway | had been made, leaviug the principal delegates fhcmselves to thrash out the 1 matter. It is understood Vice Admiral Kato. chief of the Japanese naval advisers, formally demanded that the ratio for his country be changed from 00 per cent to ~fi per cent. This.was rejected by the American experts. Assistant Secretary of Navy Koosevelt, Admiral K. E. Cooutz and Hear Admiral Pratt. MAV URGE HI'GHES TO TELL FIGURES. it is expected the American advisers I will urge Secretary of State Hughes to make public the detailed figures upon which the American calculations were based. The figures will show that from any conceivable angle of figuring Japan's • xisting naval strength can not be estimated at more than 60 per cent, which she has been alioted. The basis of the American program is •stop where yon are,” in competitive building. There were unmistakeable evidences to day that the Japanese themselves are not in ierfect accord over the 70 per cent demand. The naval members of the delegation. headed by Admiral Baron Kato. are demanding that the ratio be increased, but the political and diplomatic mem tiers of the delegation are understood to be inclined toward acceptance of the Hughes program as it lays. FEELING BETWEEN JAP DELEGATES. If is understood some feeling has developed on this point between Vice Admiral Kato and Prince Tokugawa. the nominal head of the delegation. The feeling is said to have been heightened iast night by Tokugawa’s statement <to the American correspondents. In speaking of Admiral Kato's statement that 70 per cent was the minimum Japan could accept, Tokugawa said it represented the admiral's personal opinion and not necessarily the official view of the delegation. 1 It was reported this statement, com ing from Tokugawa,. was not pleasing to the naval members of the delegation. Despite the positive assurances from Japan's naval advisers that there will be no yielding on their part, it is believed Japan will not carry her opposition to the Hughes’ program to the point of actually deadlocking the conference or •bolting" it if their contentions are denied. SEE BLUFF, OR TRY FOR PACIFIC TRADE. The belief Is widespread that there is a good deal of • bluff'' in the Japanese eland and that in the final analysis the Nipponese will yield entirely or else they will attempt to trade their acceptance of the capital ship rat'o for some other concessions in the matter of auxiilary ghipa. From official Japanese sources it was learned that they would like nothing better than to agree to the American program on condition that the United States dismantle the fortifications in the I’aclflc at Manila. Guam and Hawaii. The maintenance of these fortifications long has been a source of irritation and suspicion on the part of Tokio, and the Iwlief exists among a portiou of their diplomats here that now is the propisious time to try and 'aze them. It can be stated authoritatively, however, that American naval and diplomatic opinion is stanchly opposed to such a trade and that if Japan hopes to accomplish this she is doomed to disappointment. ARMS FOLK TAKE VP TROOP STUDY WASHINGTON, Nov. lit). —Discussions tela ting to the removal r-f forejgn troops from Chinese soil were renewed today when the committee on Far Eastern affairs met again in seciet at the Fan American Building. The powers had before them a complete statement of existing conditions in China, relating not only to foreign troops, but also to foreign wireless and telegraph stations throughout the republic, which China maintains constitute a violation of her sovereignty.

Mikado ’s Adviser Says Compromise on Hughes* Proposal Is Impossible

BY W EBSTER K. NOLAN. WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—Unconditional rejection of the American proposal for naval reduction to a 5-5-3 basis will be Japan's final ultimatum to the conference, it was stated today by one of the chief naval advisers of the Japanese delegation. The Tokio delegation will throw the Armament and Far East eouference into a "winter siege" rather than recede from their demand for a 10-10-7 ratio, the high naval expert declared. In explaining Japan's determined stand, the Nipponese naval authority adopted General Grant's famous declaration; “We will fight it out along this line if it takes all winter." At the same time, it was declared. Japan has no intention of "bolting the conference,” irrespective of the outcome of the naval deliberations. The delegation of tile island empire is in full accord with the Hughes proposal, ns a ••principle.'' but is irrevocably opposed to the American “interpretation." ‘The Americans will not agree to the Japanese method of determining existing naval strengths," the naval authority said. "Japan cannot and will not agree

SPECIAL SESSION PUT UP TO MEMBERS OF ST A TE LEGIST A TURE Governor Asks Advice on Course of Action on f emoval of Reformatory From Jeffersonville . Proposals for a special session of the Legislature to a< t on the removal of the State reformatory from Jeffersonville were laid before members of the Legislature today by Governor Warren T. McCray. The Gov-! ernor asked the advice of the legislators on his plans and it was indicated ! that if the plans met the approval of the members of the assembly the session will be between now and Christmas. j

The Governor disclosed the fact that j the session is being proposed following the agreement of Colgate A Cos., which is to purchase the old reformatory, to pay SIOO,OOO additional to the State in consideration for obtaining possession of the property at an earlier date than would I have been possible if the removal had awaited the u-xt regular session in 1023. | This Is one of the proposals on which the Governor asked the opinions of the i members of the House and the Senate. ' EFFORT TO HOLD SESSION TO REFORMATORY REMOVAL, j The Governor said that every effort would be made to hold the business of i the Legislature down to the consider atlon of the Reformatory removal hill. I He expressed the opinion that the ses j slon would last no longer than one day and that the business “could be disposed of In thirty minutes." It Is estimated that such a special session would cost the State no more than 510.000. and perhaps considerably less, and that with the payment of SIOO,OOO additional for the property the State would make a profit of at least $90,000. The purchase price of the property as agreed to by Colgate and Company, as a result of a proposal made to the Governor, will l> $450,011! Instead of the s3so,(nju originally agreed upon. RECEIVES UOMANY’S PROPOSAL FOR MORE PAY. The Governor ts known to have been considering the calling of a special session for more than a month. He was in Washington early last month where he met representatives of Colgate and Company. The company asked that they lie given early possession of the property at Jeffersonville and made the proposal that they would be wilting to pay more money for it If earlier possession could be arranged. The sale of the reformatory was made j by the Governor following Ihe last reguj lar session of the assembly when a Dill was enacted providing that the institujtion he removed to Putnam County. A ! removal commission was appointed and i after It had studied the measure it was i discovered that the law was not workable. ! There were rumors of a special session 1 at that time, but later the Colgate peoI pie tentatively agreed to wait until after the next egular session.' Their bus! | ness, however, is said to have increased to such an extent that they made the : proposal to pay more money to obtain possession. i The Governor said the removal hill j which will be presented to the Assembly ! has not been completed.

CHICAGO. Nov. 30. —A ‘pajama and teddy hear” party aboard the l cruiser “Lark." in the Lincoln Park I.ngoon, was revealed today as the major setting for a threatened divorce j suit by Mrs. Winfield Scott Bosley, ' wife of a SII.OOO-a-year department manager of the Municipal Shops. Her commodore-husband and. a pretty Omaha divorcee played stellar roles in the risque party, according to evidence which Mrs. Bosley has placed in the hands of her attorney, L. J. Haiglcr.

The naval expert said the result of such a deadlock means the Issue will lie thrown back to the chief delegates of the three powers where Japan will maintain the same attitude. “The Hughes plan is inconsistent within itself," he continued. "In the preamide to his plan, Mr. Hughes sets forth that no nation is asked by any other to disarm itself to a point endangering its national safety. In his program for disarmament Mr, Hughes th. n sets the delimitation ratio of 5-5-3. In other words. Japan is allotted a navy 60 per cent in tonnage of the fleets of (treat Britain and the United States, it is the contention of my colleagues that this endangers the national safety of Japan.

E. Williams, general manager of the road, announced here today. j CHICAGO, Nov. 30. The railroad labor j issue which a few weeks back almost | precipitated a nation-wide strike. Is ex- ; perted to be brought sharply to the front In the immediate future. Tomorrow the United States railway labor hoard will make public its longawaited and tremendously important decision on working rules and agreements affecting ail Class 1 railroads in the j United States. This decision, which the i hoard has been working on unceasingly for months, will contain more than one | hundred new rules and will be a most I coinprehensivo and far-reaching docu- ! meat. It will be a revision of the agreement negotiated ny the railways unions with the Federal railroad administration during the war period. Special significance Is given the Issuance of the new working code at this time, which is earlier than anticipated for two reasons: CODE PAVES AY AT FOR NEW CRIS|S. 1. It opens Ihe way for anew crisis in the event the union* are not satisfied with the regulations. 2. It paves the way for immediate applications for wage reductions on the part of the railroads, a move fraught with dangerous possibilities. AVnlie the strike set for a month ago was averted on the tacit understanding that the question of further wage reductions would not come up for several months—until after the matter of working rules was disposed of—the board will (Continued on Page Six.)

Once she went to the forward deck for some air. “I found four couples holding a regular ‘bacchic revel' ’’ she said, "Two of the men wore pajamas; one was in his BVD’s and the other—well, it was too shocking! The-girls had on nothing but .their teddies.” She demanded of her husband to be set ashore, she said, and he complied. “Commodore" Bosley said his wife's charges were all a conspiracy. “I never remember her being on a trip to Michigan City," he said.

UNITED STATES FIRM ON RATIO Other Countries Must Agree or Face Building Orgy. #- JAPAN IS STUNNED Unless All Nations Stop, Peace Plan Is Hopeless. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger By ROBERT BARRY. WASHINGTON. Nov. 30.—America will not compromise on the 3-5-3 naval ratio. Not only will this Government re use to yield the relativity of the Hughes program, but any nation standing in the way of an agreement on that basis by the conference must do so in full realization of an impending competition in battleship construction to be carried forward until America's rivals cry "Hold, enough!" Furthermore, it. i* to tie understood, clearly, that America has in various stages of completion fighting craft which could be commissioned unite soon, if the naval reduction plans fail of adoption by the conference. Those vessels would lie put in service well ahead of those of other nations which exist now only on draughtsmen's charts. AMERICA TO STAND FIRM ON PROPOSAL. That is Americas response to the statement of Vice Admiral Kato, chief technical advisor of tne Japanese delegation Tie declared Japan would insist on a modification of thr Hughes plan He made it known the lo 10 7 ratio would be proposed as a substitute for the 5 5 3 basts of strength between the three na tions. The American reply came informally, but it was none the less positive and authoritative. Its ono was fairly stimnliig in Japanese oftafcial quarters. Prince Tokugawa, nominal head ■ f the Tokio delegation, declared Vice Admiral Kato had not spoken for the Japanese government. It was, the Prince said, the vice admiral's personal point of view. Official opinion did not coincide with that of the i’rluce. The Kato stateniant was regarded as a "feeler." If that were true the ringing response issued from re sponsible American quarters left no doubt as to It.-, reception. The so-called board of admirals met today.

Jealous Senate Fears Harding Will Usurp Its Rights WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—A head-on clash between the Senate and President Harding is certain if the executive tries to establish his hoped-for “Association of Nations” on a set of unwritten “gentlemen’s agreements.” s The mere suggestion that the association might function without a written constitution has outraged those Senate constitutionalists who are very jealous of the Senate’s part in foreign rela*'ons. Many Senators would regard an attempt by Harding to bind the United States into an association by mere gentlemen’s agreements as an invasion of the Senate’s prerogatives. Harding has said he would just as readily accept a nation's word as its bond and would regard one as binding as the other.

11. S. GUNBOAT IS SENT TO AID OF ARMENIANS Withdrawal of French Troops Leaves Christians in Peril. FEAR MASSACRES Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON. Nov. 30. Screened behind the overshadowing events of the Washington conference, America, your correspondent learns, has taken a hand in the critical Near Eastern situation provoked by the Franco-Turkish treaty of Angora. It was that pact, sealed at Angora Oct. 20 that inspired Lrd Curzon’s scathing attack on Francft in London last week and opened tip an incalculable sea o? new trouble in dismembered Turkey. For the moment the character of American intervention is slight. It cotisLsM only of the dispatch of a United Sffftes gunboat for the protection of Imperilled Armenian Christians. Panic has broken out among the Armenians over the Impending withdrawal of French troops from SSlieia under the Angora treaty. In consequence Armenian representatives in*fho United States clamored for some form of American defense against feared recurrences of Turkish massacres on the old-time large sca'e. In response to the Armenian appeal. President Harding directed that a buuboat attached to our squadron at Constantinople be sent to Merslna, in the Gulf of Alexandretta. the heart of the Syrian district assigned by Turkey to French Jurisdiction. FEAR RECURRENCE OF TURKISH MASSACRES. In northern Armenia, near the Black Sea, lives and rights of Americans were at stake In Turkish massacres which broke out at Mrslvan In October. In that town there is an American Christian college and a station of the American committee for relief in the Near Hast. The American compound at Merslvan was the only refuge for persecuted Christ'ms, many of whom were outraged, murdered and robbed before they could place themselves under American protection.

LAST GRAND JURY IN FEDERAL COURT ALSO IS INVOLVED Former Constable Declares Liquor Confiscated in Raids Was Sold and Profits Divided Among Members of Ring. EVIDENCE INDICATES CONSPIRACY Asa result of startling revelations made in Federal Court today the next Federal grand jury almost certainly will be called to investigate the alleged connections of city officials of Gary in 1920 with a grand conspiracy to profit by the sale of liquor seized in prohibition raids, and even the conduct of the last Federal grand jury probably will be looked into. The direct charge was made by Daniel Melloy, formerly deputy consta.nble in the justice of the peace court of Charles I. Clemens of Gary, that whisky seized in raids either was divided between William Dunn, city judge of Gary; Clyde Hunter, former prosecutor; Hermann Nyhof, another constable in the justice of the peace court of Charles I.

FORMER POLICE OFFICIAL MUST PAY PENALTY William McDonald. Charged With Taking Bank Loot, to Get Limit. The hope of William McDonald, former Tndinnapolis policeman, who was indicted v>n a charge of being an accessory after a fact In ihe Beech Grove State Bank robbery, to get off with an easy sentence of a year on the Indiana State Farm, was blasted today when Prosecutor William P. Evans refused to agree to such a sentence. Before McDonald appeared in the Criminal Court, the grand jury returned twenty-three indictments, one of which was directed against McDonald, < irging him with receiving stolen goods It is alleged that he received SSOO of ‘b stolen money belonging to the hank from George W. Miller and Glenn Stout, two of the bank robbers, who are now serving long prison sentences. PROSECUTOR SUGGESTS PENALTY. Mr. Evans stated that at a time when McDonald could have been of real service to Ihe State he did not give the needed information, but later told Claude Worley, special investigator, certain facts already known to the prosecutor’s ofcice Mr. Evans contended that a prison sentence of trom one to fourteen years should be given McDonald on a plea of guilty. Judge Collins agreed with Mr Evans. Mr. Evans stated that he would not object to recommending, if McDonald's conduct Is satisfactory in prison, that he he released at the expiration of the minimum time. The prosecutor vigorously contended I hat "prison was the place" for McDonald. Evidently, Mr. Donald did not relish a prison sentence and he was returned to Jail without changing his plea. Tha matter again will be taken up next Friday. MANY OTHER INDICTMENTS. The following other indictments were made public: Samuel L.

He also charged that when liquor cases were take/i to Justice Clemen's court that it was,the custom to have the defendant give bond, then drop the cases and divide the bond money between the Justice and the constables, after taking out $25 for a fee for the prosecutor and allowing the defendant's attorney a fee for "services.” The Federal grand jury was dragged into tlie scandal when Melloy testified that when he was called before the Federal grand Jury last January that the evidence he gave before that body was repeated to his wife at Gary before he got back home. COURT SUGGESTS GRAND .JURY PROBE. “Well, the next grand jury can look ! into that, too," Judge Albert It. Andcr- | son said. Previously Judge Anderson had expressed surprise that some of the officials mentioned by Melloy had not been indicted by the iast grand Jury and on ! living told that Melloy had told the same story to that body, hut that no indictment had been returned. Judge Anderson ! told Frederick Van Nuys. United States district attorney, to make a list of the names of the officials with a view t.> presenting them to the ijext session of the grand jury. The exposures came about during the trial of twelve defendants, most of whom were residents of South Bend and Gary, for alleged conspiracy to violate the i Federal prohibition laws. Nine other defendants have entered pleas of guilty, j two have not been arrested, and removal proceedings against four more have been instituted in Illinois to bring them within the jurisdiction of this court. interest in the sensational evidence regarding local officials at Gary was almost equalled by the surprising exploits of Agnes Szabo, the 18-year-old daughter of George and Theresa Szabo. of South Bend.

With a Hudson car. and pockets full ] of money, this young girl is said to have i plied the highways between Chicago. Gary and South Bend, hauling load a f ter load of liquor purchased from the Gary i officials to the “soft drink" establlshi ment of her family at South Bend. Oh a road marked by a continuous string of battles between rival bands of booti loggers, hold-ups. liquor robberies and murders, she made her trips time after time, without the slightest sign of molestation. I gually she was accompanied by two or more little tots, her brothers , and sisters, who undoubtedly were a fine camouflage to the real purpose of the trip.
