MAYOR-ELECT TO DIVIDE POWERS WITH COUNCIL • Each Member Responsible for Needs of His Own District. WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED Members-elect of the city council today had before them an offer of Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank, which if taken advantage of will return to the office of councilman something of the personal power which it carried in the good old days before the Legislature saw fit to establish such things as board of public safety, public works, parks and public health. SHANK SPRINGS SI HP RISE PLAN. The mayor-elect at a meeting at the Hotel English yesterday afternoon—at which the eouncilmen finally unanimously endorsed his plan for relieving unemployment—told the future legislators that he wanted tnem to divide the city Into nine districts, one for each member, and each accept the responsibility for recommending public improvements therein. If anybody wanted a sidewalk, a sower, an electric light or a policeman In a district the councilman of that sector would have to recommend It before the mayor-elect would pass it on to the boards, said Mr. Shank. The proposition 6truck the counciimen-elect with much favor. Those counciimen-elect who refused to Indorse Mr. Shank’s plan of putting unemployed men to work regarding unimstreets and dumping the surplus ■■rt upon the east bank of White River as the foundation for the proposed flood wall had changed their minds since Mr. Shank's dinner Saturday evening and •were enthusiastic about the plan. The eouncilmen who came into camp and endorsed the scheme were Theodore J. Bernd, Lloyd D. Claycombe, John K. King, Ira L. Bramblett, Heydon W. Buchanan and Ben 11. Thompson. Walter W. Wise, Otto Ray and William E, Clauer were for it from the start. Mr. Bernd, Mr. King, James M. Ogden, appointee for city attorney, and John L. Elliott, appointee for city civil engineer, were named a committee to work out details. WILL GIVE WORK to idCe MEN. It was practically agreed In the conference that the city should pay the men put on this work $2 a day, six days a week. From 400 to 500 men could be taken care of at the outset, Mr. Elliott thought. This, in the opinion of R. C. Jenkins, employe of the State and city free employment agency would give relief to practically all of those now in dire distress. The proposed $2 wage would not be at all commensurate with what is considered a fair wage for labor, the new officials agreed, but this would beau emergency matter properly to be treated In an abnormal fashion. It would be uneconomical, from one standpoint, to use a great number of men upon a job which 'a very few could accomplish with modern equipment, but In the long run It would be more economical, the future city rulers thought, to give men a change to earn their bread, meagre thought It be, rather than afford them relief through soup kitchens. Councilmanie cooperation is necessary In the plan because the unimproved street repair fund will be used up by it and it be necessary to have an additional appropriation to replenish it for upkeep of these highways the rest of the year. The six eouncilmen originally unwilling to express approval did not specigcally promise that they would make the appropriation to rebuild the fund when the time came, but they went on record as favoring, in general, the scheme. SUGGESTS OTHER IMPROVEMENTS. Other Improvement projects of the mayor-elect were discussed briefly, Including the purchase of part of the county workhouse plot at Twenty-First street' and Northwestern avenue from the county commissioners as the site for municipal yards. Cour.eilmen Bernd. King and Claycombe specifically said they were In favor of this. Mr. Bernd and Mr. King, who reside on the south side, said they were in favor of anything that would get the city mules out of the city barns at 1134 Shelby street. South alders have been clamoring for such removal for years. Councilman Ray thought tha tthe old course of Pogues Run through the south side ought to be filled up with some of the dirt scraped off of the untmproved streets and the mayor-elect indicated he would think over the suggestion. MAY SELL WORKHOUSE GROUND. County Commissioners Carlin H. Shank and Harry D. Tutewiler were in the conference. Mr. Tutewiler explained that thd commissioners are ready to sell tie workhouse ground but that before this can be done it will be necessary for the county council to authorise it. This will be asked of the council at its Januarv meeting, he said. With such authority it will be necessary to advertise the ground for sale at public auction wherein the city will have to take its with other bidders. It was said Vat a big manufacturing interest has Its eyes upon the entire workhouse plot and may bid against the city. Mr. Shank left early today for Portland. Ind.. where he is to speak at a chamber of Commerce meeting tonight. He said he would stop off in Muncie to see a few friends.

In the new drive “prospects’’ who have been overlooked this time will be canvassed. The active fund-raising campaign closed last night with approximately $125,000 of the budget of $605,000 collected. Reports were made, however, that money would be coming in for several days and many of the workers will cojitinue to see persons they have not been able to see. It is anticipated that in this way the fund will be increased materially. MORE AIONEY IS NEEDED. Mr. Hoke in winding up the campaign said that the concerted drive could not be continued any longer, but that there must he more money in the fund. He declared he was in favor of laying plans for a meeting to be he'd Jan. 15 or Jan. 20 at which arrangements will be made to see persons who still have money they wish to give. Mr. Miller made the announcement that approximately’ $425,000 had been collected. He expressed his appreciation and thanks for the good work done against gigantic odds.” He declared that the shopping season and the industrial depression had been responsible for ina- [ bllity to reach the figure named In the budget. He declared also that It had been necessary for the workers to face considerable propaganda against the .Community Chest. UNWILLING TO ADMIT DEFEAT. | “One thing that has been accompli- ’" 1 is the formation of an organization that will be able to do things that must be done for unfortunates year after year,” he said.. ”1 aiu not willing to say that we have been defeated, not even In n . pecuniary way."

DRAMATIC CLUB BILL EMBRACES 3 ONE-ACT PLAYS Christmas Program Presented by Members in Pleasing Fashion. The Dramatic Club of Indianapolis presented its annual Christmas program in the Murat Theater last evening, three one-act plays comprising the bill. Following the plays a ball was held in the Propylaeum. Bernard Shaw’s lively satire, "O'Flaberty V. C.,” Mrs. Fiske's tragic fragment, “The Light from St. Agnes" and Lewis Beach's “Love Among the Lions" formed the varied and contrasting group and w’ere given in pleasing fashion. Donald McGibeny in the title role of the Shaw offering, gave au excellent characterization. Th other roles were taken by Miss Jane Graydon, Mrs. Leroy Miller and Dr. G. 11. S. Clowes. Mrs. R. Felix Geddes and Montgomery Lewis played the leads in “The Light from St. Agnes” in polished fashion. Henry Jameson also appeared to an advantage in his role as the priest. In the last named play. Dr. John Ray Newcomb scored a decided hit in fcis leading role, as the temperamental tenor; Mrs. Herman Wolfe was charming as the wife; Mrs. John Fisbback added a piquant note as the’coquettish maid, and Herman Wolfe did good work. Asa finale the curtain was raised again after the last drama, disclosing a tableau, a beautiful shining Christmas tree forming the central note, with Miss Zelda Clevenger holding a golden trumpet and Mrs. Fred K. Jose pouring fruit and flowers from a great cornucopia. George Rcekwood designed the tableau.

SAY BANKRUPT GERMANY NEEDS FIANCE LEADER Experts Suggest Receiver Be Appointed to Work Out Solution. ALLIES TO TAKE CONTROL LONDON, Dec. 20.—Recommendation# that a receivership in bankruptcy be appointed for Germany if the indemnity moratorium is granted, were made to Premier Lloyd George and Premier Briand this afternoon by the experts who have been studying the reparations situation and Germany’s financial position. The opinion of the experts was understood to be unanimous. Following their discussions the experts reported as follows: 1. The allies should insist that Germany is able and must pay the Jauuary and February installments. 2. In the event a moratorium or a partial moratorium is granted the powers of the allied committee, as guaranteed under the treaty of Versailles, shall be extended to give the allies control of German finance. The effect of this latter condition,would be a formal receivership for Germany, with an allied “bailiff” exercising full authority over Germany's affairs. Walter Rathenatf, German economic expert, conferred with Premier Lloyd George before tha latter met the French Premier. Killed in Plunge From Eighth Story ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 20—Mrs. Bert Masters, 48, was killed in a fall from the eighth story window of the Hotel Majestic here today. She recently suffered a paralytic stroke and was brought to the hotel from a hospital yesterday. Police were inclined to beliece she leaped to her death.
