COMPROMISE ON 60,000 TONS FOR TWO SUB FLEETS England and United States to Get Equal Under Water Strength. SCRAP 30,000 TONS By GEORGE R. HOLMES. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—The United States adopted a compromise rule in today's secret meeting of the naval powers and presented to the conference a new proposal that the submarine tonnage of the United States and Great Britain be fixed at 60,000 tons, the other powers to retain their present submarine strength. This figure is 30,000 tons less for both the United States and Great Britain than was proposed by Secretary of State Hughes in the original American program. It would involve also the scrapping of some 30,000 tons by the United States and approximately 20,000 by Great Britain. CONFERENCE TO MEET AGAIN TODAY. It is understood no answer was given immediately to the new American proposal and the conference adjourned after meeting more than two hours, to convene later this afternoon. The new American otter was looked upon as an endeavor to bridge the enormous gap that lies between the positions of Great Britain, who demands the total abolition of the submarine, and France, who demands a submarine fieet equal to the greatest naval powers in the worlu. GIVE FIGURES FOB OTHER NATIONS. The exact submarine strengths of Japan and France and Italy under the new American offer is in some doubt. According to American figures, the acceptance of the new American proposal would leave France the third submarine power of the world, with 42.850 tons; Japan fourth with 31,400 and Italy filth with 20,000 tons. Under the agreement already arrived at between the big three. Great Britain was to have had 90,000 tons, the United States 90.000 and Japan 54.000 tons, with commensurately smaller ratios for France and Italy. FRENCH INSIST GERMANY MUST PAY INDEMNITY Ministers Declare There Will Be No Concessions in Guarantees. PARIS, Dec. 24.—An important council of ministers was held today to discuss the government's indemnity policy in view of the heated, debate which is anticipated in the Chamber of Deputies.

Kiotz. “France will not forfeit any of the guarantees she now holds when the supreme council meets at Cannes,” said Premier Briand in reply. “There will be no concessions. Premier Lloyd George approves our stand. Be understands the particular position of France in this matter. Asa result the particular position of France in this matter. Asa result of the London conference, Anglo-French entente is now stronger than ever.”

$300,000 IS CHRISTMAS GIFT TO INDIANAPOLIS FOUNDATION

RESIDENT AND OWNER OF N. Y. STORE YEARS AGO (Continued From Page One.) Bates House to purchase sixty-seven and one-half feet frontage in East WashingI ton street, where the old Wright Hotel ' stood. The Glenns remodeled the old hotel and made three storerooms on the ground floor, using one of them for a dry j goods. In 186.'!, Mr. Maguire said, the ‘ business and real estate owned by the Glenns was advertised for sale and eventually Alphonse P. Pettis—an Eastern dry good merchant —purchased it. ! HISTORIES VARY AS ! TO THE PRICE PAID. ! Histories vary as to the price paid, but Mr. Maguire says Pettis paid $45,000 for the dry goods stock and SBO,OOO for the real estate. Thereupon anew company, known as Pettis, Dickson & Cos., took over the business and finally a company, known as Pettis, Ivers & Cos., operated the store. This company was succeeded by Pettis, Bassett & Cos., which was in turn succeeded by a company in which Mr. Pettis and W. P. N. Silvester were the partners. The store was operated by the latter company until IS9O, when A. Swan Brown of New York, formed the present Pettis Dry Goods Company, of which the officers now are: George A. Gay, president; George S. Pomeroy, vice president; Howard A. Gay, vice president; James A. Swain, secretary-treas-urer. Henry H. Hornbrook sercetary of the Foundation, in a paper recently read before the Indianapolis Bar Association, after relating that he knew of specific bequests in the wills of Indianapolis citizens, under which the Foundation eventually will benefit to a large degree, continued: “There are undoubtedly wills In existence today providing for gifts to The Indianapolis Foundation of more than $1,000,000, to be available either upon the death of the testator, or of some beneficiary having an intermediate life estate. Is it too much to hope that in twentyfive years we wiP have not less than $10,000,000 given in a like manner? With the income of such a fund of, say, S3OO - 000 a year, what a wonderful step could be taken in the meeting of our ciuu'Uable needs! POINTS POSSIBILITIES CREATED BY FUND. “Such a fund, properly administered, would go far to solve our hard problems, not only of alleviation, but of prevention. Moreover, it would be a constant spur to efficiency in administration and to quickening the service upon the part of those charged with the active management of charitable institutions who were looking to The Indianapolis Foundation for assistance. The power to withhold from the unworthy or poorly administered would be a constant challenge to the worthy institutions and a constant warning to the unworthy. "Can a higher community ideal be conceived than this; that the well to do who have built up their fortunes from the, community should feel it wrong to die without first having made provision for j returning a part of their accumulations ! to a community fund for the well-being ! of those coming after them who are not so fortunately circumstanced; that those of moderate means should feel that here is a civic object toward which they can make the modest contribution; that the large number of our citizens without dependents should feel that here is an opportunity to adopt the community needs as the beneficiaries of their bounty, and that thus there should be a common object toward which the well-wishers of Indianapolis might turn as the instrumentality through which they could do their bit, large or small, toward the future well-being of our good city.” Speaking of Mr. Pettis’ gift, Mr. Hornbrook said: “The Christmas grist of Mr. Pettis will enable Indianapolis to visualize in the very near future some of the things that such a fund built up for community good may bring to the city.”

WHEN MR. PETTIS WAS MERCHANT HERE

■■■■■■■■■■ ■ - ~ fjm $Vt 1

These pictures taken while Alphonse P. Tettls, who today remembered the el ty with a substantial Christmas gift, was a merchant in Indianapolis are well recalled by the older citizens and many still r ecall when traffic was so lax on Wtuthngton street that a youngster and his go at wagon could drive around In perfect safety. The lad In the picture had drawn up In front of the old New York Store.

EVANS WOOLLEN IS ENTHUSIASTIC OVER PETTIS GIFT (Continued From Page One.) the living, to those who from time to time are in touch with current needs, to determine how the fund may be best expend'd to promote the well-being of the community. “The gift, by its very magnitude, is inspiring, but even more of inspiration is to be found In the object for which It is given. I can not but feel that this will be the quickening of many other gifts, both large and small. WILL BE TOKEN OF COMMENDATION. “It will come also as a fine word of commendation to many of our citizens who already have made provisions in their wills for the Foundation, and they will rejoice to know that their gifts are to take their places alongside of this splendid gift from Mr. Pettis, and that other funds will join hands with his in promoting the future well-being of the citizens of Indianapolis." “’Way back in the agea of faith, good Saint Nicholas threw purses of gold Into the windows of dowerless maidens and we have since believed in Santa Claus,” said Mgr. Francis Gavigk, a rneiuter of the Foundation board PREDICTS CITV WILL GASP. “Indianapol. > will give a gasp, as 1 did, when it learns that Santa Claus has come to the city in the person of Pettis, bringing an astonishing gift to the Indianapolis Foundation of $300,(190. “The Indianopoliiß Foundation, an organization to provide a perpetual fund for welfare work In the city, .has been, up to this time, only an Idea, a dream If you will, of some wise well-wishers of Indianapolis. But ideas take form and sometimes dreams come true, as they now have, through the munificence of Mr. Pettis. The foundation had reasonable expectations of future legacies under wills, for many persons have recognized the wisdom of leaving funds for welfare purposes under the plans of the foundation and have so provided in their wills. DECLARES WILLS ARE UNCERTAIN. “But wills are as uncertain as the moods of their makers; legacies may be revoked or plans of benevolence may be altered by the testator. Never before has Indiunapolis been treated to such a surprise as the gift of Mr. Pettis. Most men do not like to give up a substantial part of their fortune to a cautfe during their lifetime, but prefer to control the same entirely while they live. One must commend the wisdom of Mr. Pettis in starting his gift on its useful may while he is still with us. He is privileged to see it perform its work of benevolence and helpfulness. “It Is understood that a large part of the wealth accumulated by Mr. Pettiß was made in business In Indianapolis. He acknowledged this and had long thought of doing something for the city. How refreshing to find a man who possesses this sense of obligation to the city which ministered to his financial success! The city of Florence became great because so many of Its citizens had patriotic pride in Florence. They loved It and praised it; they lavished gifts upon it in life and provided for tts future in their wills. SAYS GIFT SHOWS RECOGNITION. “Aside from the astonishing value of his gift, the donation of Mr. Pettis to the Indianapolis Foundation is grent ns an example of the recognition of the value of the city to its citizens. Christmas of 1921 will be memornble In the annais of Indianapolis as that good day when a citizen made a great gift to be devoted in perpetuity to the welfare of its people. May Mr. Pettis have many Imitators.” G. A. Efroymson of Wasson’s, and a member of the board of trustees of The Indianapolis Foundation, who long has been identified with and interested in charitable matters in Indianapolis, when asked for an expression relative to the Pettis gift, said: DECLARES GIFT IS STARTLING. “The news of Mr. Pettin’ gift la so stnrtllnc and unexpected as to mat'" dis

ficult any adequate expression of appreciation. "The great problem bf those having the interest of The Foundation at heart has been to maintain Interest on the part •of the community during the period of waiting for substantial funds subject to administration by tho trustees of The Foundation. It Is always difficult to center and maintain attention upon an Idea, however worthy It may be. AH of us naturally require constant stimulation by concrete facta. “ft Is not to be wondered that st times there has been almost a sense of discouragement on the part of some of us who were waiting for some outstanding gift for The Foundation, which would enable the trustees to begin their work and would bring the whole project into the realm of the present. SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. "Now Mr Pettis has given us this wonderful beginning, far beyond our wildest hopes or fondest dreams. It seems to be too good to be true. “I can only say at this time that, a. one of the trustees of the Indianapolis Foundation, I am profoundly grateful for this splendid gift." J. K. Lilly, president of the Eli Lilly Company, and chairman of the board of traistees of the Indianapolis Foundation, when told of the Pettis' gift, said it seemed too good to be true. “Splendid! Wonderful! Is it re.Hy true?" he asked. Then he said, soberly. “But does not this g‘ft bring with it something of chiding to the rest of us, ought it not make us a little ashamed to know that it is one who has long been living abroad and who, of necessity, has been out of. touch with the day-by-day life of our community, who has done this great thing for us folk at home? It Is, Indeed, like good news from a far country Like a legacy from a far removed and distant relative from whom we had not really been expecting anything, and from whom we had no right to expect remembrance. But even though there be this sense of chiding, yet none the less our hearts are filled with gratitude and appreciation. THINKS HE SEES MOTIVE. “I cannot help but wonder why Mr. Pettis did this big thing for Indianapolis and in thinking it over I believe I have caught his motive. “A large part of Mr. Pettis’ forturto came in the growth In values which the development of tho community brought to his property. I believe he felt this fact keenly and with It a sense of obligation to return to the community a substantial part of what that community had brought to him. And this is a very noble and right feeling. More and more people must accept the truth which this act of Mr. Pettis teaches, that no man has a right to draw his wealth out of the community life and keep It selfishly to himself. The community has conferred his wealth upon him and there is an obligation of return. “A pretty good lesson for all of us at this season of tho year, Is It not?” BENNETT ADVISES EXTREME CAUTION. Henry W. Bennett, president of the State Life Insurance Company, and since the beginning of the foundation, one of the trustees under appointment of Judge Anderson said: “Os course, I share with all the trustee the great delight and surprise of Mr. Pettis’ gift. It is a most gratifying thing and I am sure it is a good omen for tho future of the foundation. However, I cannot but be anxious as to the wise disposition of the fund which will now come under the direction of the trustees. There will be such a multitude of demands and so many opportunities for acting hastily and 111-advisedly that I cannot help but feel grave solicitude until we see our way a little further and have found wise ways of disposition. I do not want this thought, in the least, to detract from our deep appreciation of Mr. Pettis’ wonderful gift and I only suggest It in order that the public may not expect hasty action before time for mature consideration has been given.” LEVEY ADDS WORD OF APPRECIATION.

statement to make ho could not allow the opportunity to go by to add his expression of appreciation for the gift which Mr. Pettis had made. He said he had a firm belief It would be the means of Inducing many other people to make gifts to (ho Foundation which heretofore they had under consideration, but concerhing which they had not come to any final | conclusion. BOUND' TO EXERT j EFFECT ON OTHERS. 1 John P. Frenzel, president of the Indiana Trust Company, which is made the custodian of the funds given to the Indianapolir Foundation by Mr. Pettis, i and which is charged with the duty of Investing the same, said the gift of Mr. Pettis was not hastily or thoughtlessly made ;that for a number of years Mr. Pettis ' had had under consideration a substantial gift to be made In some form to Indianapolis, and with the passing of the years, not only had the desire to make such gift grown in Mr. Pettis’ ; mind, but the size of the gift to be made [ also had incfcased. ! “When the idea behind the Indianapolis Foundation was presented to Mr. Pettis it appealed to him profoundly and he saw In it an opportunity for helpfulness I in tho administration of the income, together with wise administration, both In the preservation of the fund and the ,dis'ribution of the income, which bad not been suggested to him in any other form of benefaction,” Mr. Frenzel said. Mr. Frenzel said he knew there were many citizens of Indianapolis, both of large and moderate means, who were Interested In the Indianapolis Foundation and who could not but be greatly Influenced by the knowledge of Mr. Pettis' gift.

Sues to Close T. H. Soft Drink Place Suit to close up the "soft drink" establishment operated by Charles 11. Batten and George Azor at Terre naute, was filed in Federal Court today by Frederick Van Nnys, United States district attorney. t The suit Is brought under the Volstead act and Is similar to'one brought against a number of well-known Vigo County roadhouses about a' month ago. These suits resulted In the closing of the roadhouses. According to the complaint Batten and Azor operate a plnce in the heart of the downtown district of Te, re Haute which does a thriving business In “soft" drinks. However, It is said all the softness there is in many of the drinks sold there must be In the name, as the general Impression around Terre Haute is that liquor of great potency may be obtained at the establishment. Shank Appointee Resigns G. O. P. Job Ernest L. Kingston, appointee of Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank for chairman of the board of public safety, today tendered his resignation as vice chairman of the Republican county committee to County Chairman Harry C. Hendrickson and as Republican city vice chairman to Republican City Chairman Irving W. Lemaux. Mr. Kingston was the acting chairman of tho city' committee during the municipal campaign this year. He resigned because of his appointment to the board of public works, the law not permitting him to hold both the political and municipal jobs. His position in the county organization is not expected to be filled nntil the Republican county convention is held.

LID CLAMPED ON DEALING IN GRAIN FUTURES Secretary Wallace Enters Upon Enforcement of Trading Act. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—The lid was clamped down today on all ‘'gambling” in grain futures when Secretary of Agriculture Wallace set In motion the machinery for enforcing the “future trading act,” which became effective today. “Such gambling transactions as privileges. bids, offers and puts and calls will be discontinued at once under the act,” said a statement from the Secretary. “However, the act does not interfere with legitimate speculation and trading in grain futures, nor with the ordinary dealing on the Board of Trade.” The gambling part of grain trading is made prohibitory by means of a heavy tax. Trading, to be free from the tax, must •be through a market which meets the requirements of a “contract market.” Wallace explained that the grain exchanges at Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Duluth, Milwaukee and Toledo, and the “Open Board” at Chicago have met the requirements for being recognized as “contract markets.” The Chicago Board of Trade, commonly known as the “pit,” which is the world's largest grain market, will, temporarily at least, be off the recognized list because of suit brought by its members to test the constitutionality of the act.

LONDON POLICE FOIL RED PLOT TO LOOT SHOPS Frustrate Conspiracy by Prompt Action on Discovery. LONDON. Dec. 24.—A Red plot to loot fashionable London stores during the Christmas shopping rush was believed thwarted by police today. Five hundred unemployed of the West London districts had planned to march to Oxford Circus, ostensibly to demonstrate against Christmas shopping extravagance, but in reality to loot stores, police said. Many of the men were armed, It was declared. Two thousand others from the east end were to commence looting at the Strand and work westjvard until they reached the west end (body, according to the police diagnosis cjt the plot. The scheme was frustrated when police mobilized 100 mounted (men at vantage points along the'route. Warnings were issued to storekeepers to be prepared. Several hundred unemployed men marched to Ilyde I’ark, closely watched by police. There was no demonstration. England’s cup of Joy at holiday season was somewhat embittered by these reports and the fact that there are approximately 2,000,000 men out of work. This, coupled with the crash of prices, made It appear the cheapest Christmas in years./ Bauds of unemployed gather as early aa 4 a, m. at the town halls In the labor boroughs, register and receive Christmas gifts. The gifts generally are small packages of tea, butter, sugar, milk and flour. At 9 a. m. today 4,000 persons were gathered In one line. The royal family will spend Christmas at York cottage, Sandringham. Th e party will Include King George, the Queen, Princess Mary, the Duke of York, Prince Henry, Queen Alexandria with the King aud Queen of Norway and his son, the Crown Prince Olaf. The Queen is a Bister of King George. Two members of the British royal family will be absent. The Prince of Wales is In India and Prince George the youngest, is a midshipman on a battlle c uiser at Malta.
