WO NEGROES HOLD UP 2 MEN, ATTACK WOMAN • r Highwaymen Operate in North Section of City With Varying Success. BURGLARS ALSO ACTIVE Two negro highwaymen operated In the north section of the city last night and early today, robbing two men and attempting to attack a white woman. Burglars who visited various parts of the city during the night t tre less successful financially bat ma. aged to enter a number of homes. Edwin Ferras, 24, 2209 North Lelaware street, was robbed of $20.78. Ferras started to walk home from Sixteenth and Pennsylvania streets, and when near Eighteenth and Pennsylvania he heard a whistle but Ferras did not stop. At Delaware and Twenty-First a man, whose face was partly covered by a white handkerchief, ran across the street and covered him with an automatic pistol. SECOND ROBBER JOINS IN HOLDUP. “We had to chase you a h of a way,” said the hold-up man, "hands up.” Ferras handed over his purse containing $20.78. At that Instant another man appeared from the darkness. He alsa carried an automatic. The robbers forced Ferras to hold up his hands while they searched him. Falling to find more money they took his watch, looked at It and gave it back. The robbery was at 12:30 a. m. An hour later William M. Mahon, 227 East Tenth street, was held up aud robbed by two negroes, who wore white handkerchiefs over their faces. Police believe they were the same men who robbed Ferras. Mahon was putting his automobile In a garage In Hudson street near Tenth street when the two men with automatics covered him. One relieved him of $37. Then, with a warning to Mahon that “It will do no good to report this to the police,” they harried away. The police believe the highwaymen had an automobile hidden near tba scene of each of their robberies. WOMAN ATTACKED IN STREET BY NEGRO. Mrs. Mary Williams. S3S North Capitol avenue, was walking In Capitol avenue. half a block e >uth of St. Clali street, when a negro armed with an automatic pistol stopped her and asked her how much money she had. She told him 20 cents. "I don’t want that 20 cents. I want you," said the negro and he seized her. She screamed as her assailant attempted to drag her into an alley. He loosened his bold for an Instant and Mrs. Williams ran screaming north In Capitol avenue. At Illinois and St. Clair streets she met Patrolman Shehan and told him of the attack. She said phe believed the assailant had leaped from an automobile. The policeman rommandered a passing automobile and hurried ta the scene As he approached he saw the car described by Mrs. Williams, but It sped away and the car In which the policeman was riding was not fast enough to keep near It. The attack on Mrs. Williams occurred after Mahon was held up, and the one negro was about the same size, as one of the men who robbed Mahon. The clothing worn by the man also was similar. A negro attempted to open the door of a residence at 223 North West street. Thelma Burgan 14. thinking It was one of the family opened the door and the negro seized her. She screamed and the negro escaped before the police arrived. A burglar entered the home of H. It. Shafer, 127 West Twenty-Seventh street. The light In the hallway showed he wore a black mask across the lower part of his face. He was a white man. Mrs. Shafer ■creamed. The man raised his arm as if to strike her. Mr. Shafer was awakened and the burglar ran from the house pursued by Shafer. Robert W. Morgan. 606 North Delaware street, reported that a negro burglar attempted to force an entrance Into his home but was frightened away.

SALARY RAISES WILL BE ASKED Shank’s Corporation Counsel Gets Request Ready. Increases in the salaries of three of the assistants in the city legal department and creation of the post of second assistant city attorney would be provided In an ordinance which Taylor E. Oroninger, appointee of Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank for corporation counsel, has prepared. It will be submitted to the mayor-elect. Creation of the post or second assistant city attorney would nake a place for Robert Dalton, originally named to be attorney for the board of sanitary commissioners. Under the present administration, until a few weeks ago. a member of the city legal department has been attorney for the board. Dlxson H. Bynum, who held this place as well as that of city claim agent, resigned to take a Federal position and the board of sanitary commissioners, over whom the Shank administration is not expected to have control at the start, employed a firm of attorneys for themselves. Since the sanitary board controls the pay of Us counsel, it is thought likely that Mr. Dalton can not step into the place. The salary Increases proposed by Mr. Groninger are first assistant city attorney from $1,500 to $2,500; claim agent from $1,200 to SI,BOO and city court prosecutor from $1,200 to $1,500.

Yeggmen Muddle Job With Too Much Soup PARSOXS, Kan.. Dec. 7.—An overdose of safe-cracking “soup" foiled the plans of yeggmen who entered the State Bank of Dennis, near here, early today. The charge of explosive was so great that it wrecked the entire interior of the bank and the detonation aroused the town. Shots were exchanged with the robbers, who escaped in a motor car after obtaining only $55 from a cash drawer. They were forced to flee before they eonld enter the

Makes Confession to Murder of Brother $ Special to The Times. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Dec. 7.—Theodore Pierce, 32, surrendered himself and confessed, the police said today, that he killed his brother, Jesse, three years younger. According to the reported confession, both were drinking, Theodore ordered Jesse to leave his home and when he refused drew a knife, Jesse seized a shotgun but in the struggle that ensued the younger brother was killed. WORD RECEIVED OF REVOLUTION • IN GUATEMALA President Made Prisoner and Cabinet Members in Jail. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—The Guatee malan government has been overthrown according to advices to the State Department today from Benton McMillen, American minister. Abont a dozen persons were killed in the revolution, which began Dec. 5, and ended Dec. 6, according to the State Department advices. Many civilians were placed under arrest. President Herrera was made a prisoner In his own home and the members of his cabinet were thrown into jail. A provisional government has been established. It is presumed here that the revolution was engineered by followers of Premier Cabrera, who has been under arrest during the regime of Herrera, although dispatches received here did not state whether Cabrera had been released. Minister McMillen's dispatches did not give full details of the revolt, but It Is presumed there was comparatively little fighting.

J. ARMITAGE APPOINTED TO safetyboard (Continued From Page One.) had announced earlier in the day that he was going to submit for Mr. Shank’s approval an ordinance increasing the pay or some of the men who will be under him in the legal department. “The only thing I’m going to do that will even look like an addition to the city’s pay roll is going to be the creation of those three inspectorships of police.’’ i said Mr. Shank. He said he had not de- | elded whether to have the ordinance creating these offices introduced in the present city council or wait until the new council takes office. He originally Intended to let the matter ride until the new council comes In, he said. * “It’s all right. If they don't want to pass ?t why I'll just have to put those men I'-j picked for Inspectorships Into the police department as captains and call them Inspectors anyway. When Battalion ChiPT John O’Brien of the fire department, appointee for chief of the fire department, reported that the automobile traffic committee appointed before Mr. Shank left the city was going to recommend flat-to-the-curb parking la all congested downtown streets and oneway traffic from 4 to 7:30 p. m. o'clock in Meridian street and Capitol avenue from Maryland street to Fall Creek boulevard. Mr. Shank said that he had just been thinking about these plans and agreed with the flat-to-the-cnrb Idea, but thought that one-way truffle ought to be the rule on the two streets from 6:30 to 8:30 o'clock in the morning as well. Hs thought traffic ought to move north in Meridian street and south in Capitol avenue In the evening and vice versa In the morning. He also believes parking should be prohibited altogether In Maryland street from Alabama to Meridian streets during the business house of wholesale houses In the district. A scheme of putting eight-inch raises In pavements on both sides of dangerous crossings, so as to compel vehicles to slow down or suffer broken springs or axles, which he saw in Memphis, caught Ms fancy and he would like to see It tried out here. STRAIGHT TRAFFIC AT THREE POINTS. Mr. Shank also favors prohibition of any turns at Illinois and Washington, Pennsylvania and Washington and Meridian and Washington streets. Traffic should stream ftre'ght through at these points, excepting that direct turns into the diagonal avenues, Kentucky and Virginia, should be permitted, he said. Rumors that the fire department personnel Is to be torn from limb to limb are unfounded and Mr. Shank said he wanted them set at rest at once because he doesn’t want to see the fire fighting force demoralized. He will go to Detroit before Jan. 1 to look Into the tower scheme of traffic regulation, he said. One watchman in a tower regulates traffic for two blocks in either direction under this plan, which Is In operation in a number of large cities. Positions of clerk and stenographer to the board of public safety will .be abolished. leaving only the executive secretary in the board's office, Mr. Bhank announced. The chief of police will be given headquarters in the board's office and his stenographer will do stenographic work for the board as well as the chief. The fire chief's city hall office wili be a vacant room In the city I controller’s suite on the first floor. John Ertle had been named by Mr. Shank for clerk to the board of public safety and Mrs. Bessie Reed ns stenographer. With the abolition of these positions Mr. Ertle will he taken care of by appointment as building department clerk and Mrs. Reed as clerk In the legal department. INAUGURATION TO BE HELD AT CITY HALL. The Inauguration ceremonial on Jan. 2 will be held at the city hall, according to custom, but a reception at the Marlon Club may be arranged afterward, Mr. Shank said, ne will meet with the board ! of public works for the purposo of making appointments in the afternoon and with the board of safety the next morning. he plans. | city employes will pay their bills or i lose their Jobs, he said. The crusade of the present admlnis- | tr-tion to break tip the practice of whites mingling with blacks In Indiana avenue joints met with Mr. Shank’s approval and he said he was going to carry on ! this policy vigorously. He reiterated former statements regarding the abolition of practice with ! expensive fire equipment, strict enforcement of rules In the police and fire dei partment and instant dismissal for any patrolman caught either participating in !or countenancing gambling or bootlegI gifcg. ! HOT SPRINGS JAZZ BAND TERPIBLE. Hot Springs was rather a dull place, Mr. Shank said. “Joe nogue. BUI Armitage and I hired a jazz band to liven things np one night bnt we only drove everybody out of the hotel. That band was terrible.” ! He said that he spent his time at Hot Springs, “drinking water, taking baths and walking.” He was asked if he played any golf. “O land no!” he replied.

FRIENDSHIP IS ONLY CURE FOR FEAR AND GREED % Armament Reduction Will Progress in Ratio With ‘Will to Peace.’ ALLIED LOAN QUESTION BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. —The postponement of the question of land armament gives time for the consideration of the proposals made with a view to aiding in the reduction of armies. While local conditions will necessarily play a large part in determining the actiou taken by each nation much will depend upon general principles that will applv to all alik€. In other words, the average reduction possible will be ns large in proportion as the "will to peace” which to use Secretary Hughes' language takes the place of the will to war. Anything therefore which will Increase the sense of aec irlty will decrease the army estimates Just as any suggestion of future wars will tend to increase the army estimates. UNITED STATES IN POSITION TO LEAD. Friendship is the only thing that can be substituted for both fear and greed and the United States is the only Nation that is In a position to contribute largely towurd the re-establishment of friendship As long as the United States demands from the allies the repayment of ten billion dollars Ironed the allies will feel justified in collecting this amount from the enemy nations. Even if payment to the United States is postponed payment from enemy nations will be expected. Thus the United States may contribute to the condition that will prevent the re-establishment of the friendship necessary to world peaco to cancel the debt in favor of the allies would not produce the desired results. It might even aggravate the situation and result In the expenditure of the amount in preparation for another war. France Justifies the retention of the arms on the ground that Germany contemplates aggression. Whether this Is true or false can be determined by an investigation—that is so far as preparation for aggression la concerned. But a reopening of the war depends more upon the spirit of unfriendliness than upon actual preparations. THE LEADING QUESTION. The great question is whether the spirit of friendship can be restored, for without this all-peace plans are futile. Can the United States use this indebtedness to restablish real friendship between the nations at war? Can reconciliation be affected by an equitable distribution of the ten billion among the European nations, allies and enemies? II so cannot the U. 8. afford to use a debt of doubtful value to purchase a benefit of Incalculable value? If such a use of the debt generated a world disposition towards peace the United States will soon Bare more than ten billion by the reductions which it will make possible in Army and Navy appropriations. The alternative course may coat the U. S. many times the debt, not to speak of the loss of an opportunity for supreme service to the world. —Copyright, 1921, by United Press. t

POINTS NEW WAY TO GET ANIMALS FOR SCHOOL USE (Continued From Page One.) in subjecting dumb brutes to repeats operations that brought about public condemnation some time ago. SUGGESTS METHOD TO OBTAIN ANIMALS. Dr. W. A. McConnell, city veterinarian, and Dr. G. W. Butler, who were instructed by W. 11. Roberts, president of the society, to Investigate the practice of the college In using school boys to collect dogs and cats, said they had suggested that the institution drop this method and that It advertise through the dally papers for voluntary contributions of animals. “I suggested to Mr. Neff, registrar of the college," said Dr. McConnell, “that In the future they secure their dogs and cats through advertising in the daily newspapers; that they advertise for people who have animals they wish to get rid of to notify the college and the college would call for them; that these advertisements clearly state that the animals are to be humanely operated upon. I suggested this instead of their present method. I think that It would eliminate all this trouble oyer children stealing animals and other controversies that have arisen over the methods by which the college gets its animals. I suggested, of course, that the college should pay nothing for the animals turned over to It. They would Just call for them and get them. That, would do away with any inducement for any one to steal animals. “The humane society has spent as high as $133 a month to collect cats and dogs that people wish to get rid of and 1 think that the medical school might as well relieve us of this burden.” Dr. McConnell said that the medical school was observing the same rule in regard to holding cats for ten days before operating upon them as was instituted for dogs. REPORTS PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF CATS. Dr. Butler said Mr. Neff had asked the committee If It desired to be notified of the receipt of eats as now Is the practice in regard to dogs. Since objections wehe raised to the old methods of obtaining animals, which resulted in valuable dogs finding their way by devious routes Into the college pens, the college notifies the humane society of the number of dogs received and from whom they were received. Dr. Butler said that the visiting committee did rot get nny notice as to the receipts of cats until Tuesday. Then the college reported receipt of twenty-five cats and gave the names and addresses of the parties from whom they were received. Receipts of six dogs also were reported, he said. “We went to the college again today," said Dr. Butler, “and they told us that they would not need any more cats. They had eight cats and nine dogs on hands.” ANIMALS KEPT UNCONSCIOUS, I)r. C. A. Pfafflin, chairman of the executive committee, said that the college had infermed him that not a single cat had been used nor will .be until the tenday period expires. The cats were to be used, he said he was Informed, in a physiology course and they had postponed the opening”of the course until the ten day period expired. He said that the same care In anaesthetizing the animals to be operated upon was used as In the case of humans. A student doctor is assigned to do nothing but keep the animal unconscious while the operation la going on, he said. When they get through, the animal “passes on out,” through administration of chloroform, he stated. Dr Pfafflin further stated that he was nn bv the college authorities that three of the cats purchased recently had b ii ciamied ny a woman. The college surrenders animals in such a case without question, he said. “I then took up with them the possibilities of young boys stealing cats,” said Dr. Pfafflin. Dr. McConnell took the floor at this

“Why shouldn't I boh my hair like the rest of the girls? I'm only 103, and I expect to break the record of my grandmother, who lived to be 123 years of age," said Mrs. Rlvka Zippe, the “youngest girl” in Newark, a resident of the Daughters of Israel Home for the Aged. She is so full of the joy of living and the curiosity of her sex that her companions at the home call her the “telephone." “I attribute my yonth to my diet," said she. “I eat no moat and very little bread. Milk, broth and coffee are my chief foods. During the nights, if I lie awake, I plan what I shall talk about the next day and how much I shall enjoy the years I still have to live. I love life—l can not say how much. My favorite diversion is playing with dolls. I dress them In the gayest colors 1 can find and give them the prettiest names. Again, I think I am 16 and. about to be a bride. I have lots of fun planning my tronssean. Miss Shesktn, the head nnrse here, tells me how pretty I look and advises me which one of my suitors I shall accept. I always take the tall man. Each of the three husbands that I left burled on the other side of the ocean was tall.”

point and reported that the college authorities, when asked about the "cat stealing" incident offered the following explanation: They needed cats for the new course. Large numbers of stray eats had been observed roaming the bottoms and dumps to the west and north of the Long and city hospitals. The bottoms wer* full of cats, in fact. There ought not to be uoy objection from any one If these cats were obtained, so they cast around for some small t oya to catch them. They Instructed the boys to get the cats In the bottoms and offered $1 each as a reward. But the cats were wild, so wild that the boya could not catch many of them and so the boya, apparently spurred on by that dollar reward, got the cats wherever they could. The college did not want anylody'a pet cat, however, and all thnt were brought in were carefully scrutinized. If they looked like peta they were refused and the boy Instructed to lake them back. Upon suggestion of Dr. W. B. Craig, the directors instructed Dr. McConnell to carry to the city board of health a recomemndatlun that until the epidemic of rabies, which has been observed among dogs In the city for several months, is cleared up that no more dogs taken to the city pound shall be given out to new owners. Dr. Craig said that In his mind the rabies situation ts becoming serious and that the plan of killing all stray dogs brought to the pound for a period of five or six months would cure it. He said this plan was successfully used during the former administration of Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank. CLEVELAND SOCIETIES WORK MUCH GREATER. Commenting upon a report of operations of the Cleveland Humane Society apd tba Clevolanil Animal Protective League, as made by John Pitts, deputy cSty poundrnaster, President Roberts declared thnt the work of the Cleveland societies is many times larger than that of the local society because the Cleveland organizations have annual incomes totaling around $230,000 as compared with about $3,000 In Indianapolis. “Ever since the college had this controversy the college authorities have been very nice," said Mr. Roberts. "There Is n.o cruelty in their methods and no operations two or threo times on the same animal. What has been done In the pnst, I don’t know about, but I do not believe they are doing those things now.” The directors present who, beside those mentioned were W. 8. Frye, George W. Williams, F. T. Cutshuw and W. 11. Ituehrmann, elected George O. ITutsell, now city clerk and appointee of MnyorElcct Shank for executive secretary of the hoard of public safety after Jan. 2, to the directorate to fill the unexpired term of Judge W. W. Thornton, who resigned last month. A nominating committee to propose candidates for six directorships which will be vacant Jan. 1, to be voted upon at the January monthly meeting, was appointed by President Roberts. On the committee are Mr. Frye, Mr. Cutshnw and I)r. McConnell. Directors whose terms will expire Jan. 1 are Mr. Williams, Mr. Roberts, Dr. Butler, the Rev. F. S. C. Wicks and Janies It. Van Atta.

WOULD ADVISE IMMIGRANTS ON AMERICAN LAW Ellis Island Speaker Says Limitation Ruling Is Not Successful. The need of Government officials at the points of embarkation in Europe to instruct the emigrants as to the requirements of United States law, was stressed by Miss Cecelia Rozavsky of New York, national secretary of the immigrant aid department of the National Council of Jewish Women, who talked before the local Jewish council at the Temple yes terday on the immigrant problem and her work at Ellis Island. “Canada has government workers stationed in Europe," she said, “who inform the foreigner what the new country that he is going into demands before he will be accepted into its ranks, and it Is my earnest hope that soon our country will be doing the same thing. Limitation of Immigrants brings sad results, many people come over who are not accepted and most pathetic scenes result. A great deal of agony ad tragedy might be averted by such an arrangement,' DESCRIBES RELIEF WORK OF COUNCIL. Miss Rozavsky told of how the council. In conjunction with reconstruction work, was placing women at these embarkation points to inform the immigrants. She also said that councils have been formed In Rotterdam. Amsterdam. Geneva, Paris and Antwerp. Dr. Robert Aley of Butler College also gave a talk. “America does not mean merely a great land filled with numbers of rich resources," he said, “America means something that Inspires us all and lures us on to finer ideals. America spells opportunity. A citizen can be Is willing to pay the price to become." TELLS GREATEST NEED OF COUNTRY.

SAYS IRELAND WILL CONTROL HER DESTINIES Sinn Fein Founder Declares Liberty Won After Centuries of Struggle. LONDON, Dec. 7.—“ These proposals establishing an Irish Free State do give Ireland control of he rown destinies,” Arthur Griffith, founder of the Sinn Fein end one of the delegates who helped draw up the proposals, declared today. “They (the British government) have put our future In our own hands. “The proposals will enable us to stand on our own feet and to develop our own civilization and national distinctiveness. ! “In short, we have won liberty after a struggle of centuries.” 1 It was due to Griffith's untiring efforts and unswerving purpose that. Sinn Fein was founded and developed into a determined, insurgent, fighting force that came to dominute Irish affairs and gwept aside tho old school of Irish Nationalists which had talked for generations and got no Irish settlement. Sinn Fein acted. After being organized in every section of the island, Sinn Fein, unable to get Us political bodies recognized after election, took on a militarist program and by guerilla warfare eliminated British forces from most areas in Ireland, forcing an armistice which resulted in peace negotiations. It was Griffith who made Eamonn De Valera, the fighting leader, “president of the Irish republic.”—Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.
