lARDING HOPES TO BE REALIZED !N CONFERENCES Bryan Declares President’s Optimism Is Justified by Prospects. JTLOOK IS PROMISING By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—President Harding's optimism In regard to the results of the conference 1* justified. He said In a recent address that the negotiations promised to “succeed beyond our fondest hopes.” / The delegates can do nothing themselves. They speak for the government which they represent and the governments must act with caution, because they speak for the people and the people exercise an Increasing Influence over their government. The conference Is proceeding as fast as could be expected. It already has made unexpected progress, the results achieved are beyond the anticipation of the most sanguine. Everything has proceeded without a hitch. PARLEY CANNOT DO EVERYTHING. The conference cannot settle all problems—some are not yet ripe for settlemeat, but the momentum is increasing and, in time will overcome all obstacles. It is reported that the Japanese government agrees to the “four power” agreement which seems likely to be substituted for the Anglo-Japanese alliance. This agreement contemplates a period of discussion before war and that in itself is sufficient to greatly decrease the danger of international trouble in the Pacific. Japan did not enter into a treaty with the United States for the investigation of all disputes before resort to war. She was one of the big nations that did not, but this was doubtless due to the dispute over the California land laws. In ratifying the Versailles treaty which contained the covenant of the League of Nations. Japan indorsed the thirty treaty plans. Great Britain and France have indorsed the plan both in treaties with the United States and in the League of Nations. TREATY PILLS ’ ALLIANCE S TEETH. The much-discussed Anglo-Japanese alliance was made harmless by the treaty between Great Britain and the United States signed on Sept. 15, 1919. which gave a year's time for Investigation before resort to war. The agreement covering the Islands In the Pacific will make It easier to i establish a tribunal In which all the nations will poia providing machinery for the Investigation of all disputes before the contracting nations can use violence. Is It not strange that nations so well I supplied for machinery for war should have waited so long to provide ma- , ehicery for peace?—Copyright, 1921, by United Press. WEE GIRL USED TO AID CHOPPING OF OWN FATHER Grewsome Tale Comes From Paris Wherein Man Kills Benefactor. PARIS, Dec. 9.—“ He did not love his country, but, on the contrary, was always full of praise for the Germans,” was the only excuse' Ksterile Job'.n could find when, together with her lover, Charles Burger, she was brought before examining magistrates on the charge of murdering her husband and helping to ent tip the body, throwing parts of it into the river and burying the remainder In a park outside Paris. The husband. Ernest Jobin. was employed at the Grand Hotel here as first floor waiter and had been for some ten years. Two years ago, a vacancy haring occurred on the same floor, Jobin Intro duced one of his friends, Charles Burger, to the management, and he was given a Job. Burger having no home, Jobin offered to share his with Burger and his little girl. Madeleine, aged 6. Burger was a widower, and intimate relations •oon developed hetween him and Jobin's wife. Conversations in the household often drifted to the war. Burger had served as a private and was wounded. JOIpIN EVADES SERVICE. Jobin had done everything possible to evade military service and was not very enthusiastic about the feats of the allied armies. The two men would often come very near to an exchange of blows. Burger, furthermore, was envious of Jobin’s position at the Grand Hotel, where he was well liked by the management and patrons. He had succeeded in saving up some 60,000 francs. Burger knew this, as did his mistress, and they planned what they Would do had they such an amount. From then on Burger thought only of various ways of getting this money. He could not induce Jobin to part with it with a view to Investing it. What he considered was his chance came one night, however, when a more than usually heated discussion took place between the two men. Matters went so far that Burger, exasperated, picked up a knife from the table and stabbed Jobin to death. This happened In the presence of the latter'* wife, while the little girl played In the adjoining room. Losing no time as to how they should get rid of the body. Burger suggested to his mistress that they cut it up. Clearing the dining room table, they put Jobin's body on It, and, while Burger went out after a saw Mm*. Jobin prepared sackings. CHILD EMPLOYED IN CRIME. As soon as Burger returned they set to their ghastly task, witnessed oaly by little Madeleine, too horrified to say anything. That same night, at midnight, the three left their flat, each carrying a ' bundle containing, one the headless body of the victim, the others an arm each, and made for the nearest bridge, where the remains were thrown into the river. The next day Burger and his accomplice, l still accompanied by little Madeleine, carrying a child's spade, left for the Clamart wood, bearing with them, In two separate sackings, the head and legs of their victim. Madeleine was told how to dig a large hole with her tiny spade, and when this was done Burger gathered np the aacklngs, put them in the hole and coverad them. A few weeks later the trunk was found some twelve miles out of Paris In the river, and the next day the arms appeared. It was not till eighteen months after that the murderers were found and, with them, the head and legs, for they led the police authorities to the spot Where the latter had been buried. Burger, when asked about the crime, threw most of the blame on the woman and Immediately denied her story that she had had nothing to do with the crime, being In an adjoining room while Barger cut up the body. NINE-POCND MUSH ROOM. BARIS, Dec. 9.—Topin, a farmer of Oialon-sur-Saone. found a mushroom which weighed nine pounds. The head was more than three and a half feet In 41ameter.

FINAL DRAFT OF BILL NEW ABOUT^READY (Continued From Page One.) from the old institution to the new when the latter is completed. 6. That there shall be appropriated for the purchase of land and the construction of anew institution the sum of $300,000, plus the proceeds of the sale of the old reformatory, amounting to approximately $450,000, plus the money appropriated for the improvement of the old institution, making the total appropriation approximately $900,000. LITTLE CHANGE IN PROVISION. The provision for the appointment of a committee of four is the same as In the present act, exeeut for the fact that under the present act this committee is to have charge of the building, as well as the relocation of the institution, while under the new bill it Is to have charge of the relocation only and the board of trustees is to have charge of the building. The location provision of the new bill differs essentially from that of the present act. The present law provides that the reformatory shall be “at Putnamville in Putnam County” and “adjacent” to the Indiana State farm. The new bill will leave the matter of the location entirely in the hands of the committee, providing only that the institution shall be "more centrally located.” The provision for the right of eminent domain Is not contained In the present act. It was put in the new bill to guard against “hold-up” . tactics of property owners. The advisory committee provision does not differ from the manner in which the Governor undertook to carry out the provisions of the present law. There is such a committee now in existence. TECHNICALITY COMES TO LIGHT. It was thought advisable to provide for the transfer of the prisoners to the new institution specifically to block any attempt to make their transfer invalid because they have been sentenced to a particular institution situated at a particular place. This, however, is merely a legal technicality. The present act provides only for an appropriation of S3uO,UO for the purchase of land and the construction of anew institution. The smallness of this amount was one of the principal reasons why the present law was not carried out. The appropriation this time will not be in a lump sum, but will be divided as Indicated. In the new bill there be no time limit within which the institution must be constructed, despite tbo insistence of Colgate A Company, which has purchased the present Reformatory property, that it be given posessision at the earliest possible date. Tile printed copies of the bill, ns soon as they are c-ff the press, will be mailed to all the members of the General Assembly in order that they may be familiar with its provisions before they come to Indianapolis. The committees la charge have devoted most of their att( ntion to making the hill as nearly “amendment proof" trs possible in order that it will not needlessly prolong the session. CHICAGO SIFTS BOND SCANDAL Broker Said to Have Admitted Effort to Sell $2,000,000 Stolen Securities, CHICAGO. Dec. 9.—Joseph Moulton, an official of the brokerage firm of Hamilton. Anderson & Cos., confessed today, according to attaches of the State's attorney's office, that the firm knowingly had attempted to dispose of $2,000,000 worth of stolen bonds. Kenneth Anderson, president of the firm, and W. J. Serpas, secretary, ore detained pending a thorough investigation. Walter H. Gehlaa*-. a bond salesman, is under arrest and detectives are seeking Harry H. Walker, another bond salesman. Moulton told the State’s attorney, it Is said, that he knew of the alleged operations but had refused to join in the scheme. Moulton is said to have named Gehlaar as the man who brought the alleged stolen bonds to the firm. Discovery of the alleged scheme followed the arrest of Jack Grahame, a salesman, on charges of attempting to dispose of bonds said to have been stolen from a Chicago brokerago house. Anderson and Serpas denied the charges. POISON LETTER TRAGEDY. CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—Three hours after she had received an anonymous letter attacking the character of her fiance.

SOVIET RULERS FINALLY COME DOWN TO EARTH Latest Ukase Does Away With National Rationing and Restores Wages. By J. C. SEGRCE. LONDON, Dec. 9.—When I left Russia the newspupers, thus reflecting public Interest in the matter, were full of explanations of and comments on the decree, signed by Lenin and other commissars of the people, In which In effect the practical abolition of the rationing system and its substitution by wages in money was announced. This decree, the logical sequel to that issued three months back, authorizing private trading, marked another stage in the process of turning undiluted communism into a system of modified capitalism. The failure of the “world revolution” is offered as the explanation of this -e----vcrsal of policy on the part of the SovU. government, although other causes, such as the realization that many reforms have been too rapid and too radical to be digested by the Russian masses, might be mentioned. The decree referred to Is" a really statesmanlike and courageous document, in which some blunt truths are told the workers of Russia—truths which, if they catne from capitalist governments, would most certainly provoke a storm of protest. In effect the popular (and Ignorant) conception of communism, as meaning no work and plenty of food, and wages supplied by the government for every one excepting the hated bourgeois, Is replaced by one which Insists on hard work. The need for the adoption of the “payments by results” system in the Russian factories, and the rejection of the theory that all should be paid alike—the unskilled laborer with the highly skilled, technically trained manager—were the most striking features of the decree. Some fears were entertained In government circles when 1 was in Russia that the blunt truths mentioned might not prove palatable to the Russian workers, and attempts were being made as I left Fetrograd to explain, by means of posters, as gently as possible, the meaning of the decree to them. The following summary, transcribed from posters affixed In the city. Indicates the main points of the decree and the way they have been put before the Russian working classes. 1. No square pegs In round holes: no more skilled engineers doing the work of stablemen: no efficient trade unionists as potato growers; no girl typists acting as charwomen. 2. The more you produce, the more you will earn. ~~ MOTHER! Open Child’s Bowels with “California Fig Syrup” Even a sick child loves the “fruity” taste of “California Fig Syrup.” If the little tongue is coated, or if your child is 1! 'less, cross, feverish, full of cold, or l.as colic, give a teaspoonful to cleanso the liver and bowels. In a few hours you can see for yourself bow thoroughly It "works all the constipation poison, *our bile and waste out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Millions of mothers keep “California Fig Syrup” handy, They know a teaspoonful today saves n sick child tomorrow. Ask your druggist for genuine “California Fig Syrup” which has directions for babies and children of all ages printed on bottle. Mother! You must say "California" or you may get an lmltatlon tig syrup—Advertisement.

3. All payments previously made In kind to be made In money. 4. Wages to be paid to the worker must be such as will enable him to meet the expenses of rent, heat, lighting, water, clothing, barber, bath, theaters and other amusements, railway traveling, food for himself and family. 5. Output of work to regulate payment of wages. Work done in a factory—not the number of workers employed there—to be the measure of the wages paid. 6. Less' ot those wise tables about wages end g/eater simplification of salaries. 7. Russia to have a "flexible” wage system, in dt termining which the rate of exchange v ill have an Important influence. 8. Get rid of the idea that in the matter of wages everybody should be equal. Payment, on the other hand, should be regulated by the amount and character of work done. 9. Foodstuffs which workers wlßh to buy to he supplied at cost prices at the factories where they work. 10. The introduction of cash wages means the abolition of the monthly ration system. The last-mentioned point is, of course, the most vital in the decree, Indicating us It does the end of the attempt to ration a population of over 120,000,000 by the Government. The inequalities of the system, and the bureaucratic machine for distribution which is needed even had the blockade and the famine not made the task quite impossible of fulfillment, would have eventually led to its breakdown. The change will not provoke any real dissatisfaction from the vast mass of the population, who could never grasp the intricacies of the rationing system, of which there were at least fourteen different categories. The complaint was that while the rations existed on paper they rarely existed In actual foodstuffs. Asa matter of curiosity the rations distributed in one month among high
