HOLDERS AND SEEKERS VIE FOR FAVORS (Continued From Page One.) order on a local furniture stofe for a highchair. None of the three men named for executive secretaries of the, city park department was ou duty this morning and the mayor .thought for a time that they were going to refuse the appointments. Sirs. Shank investigated over the telephone for Mr. Shank and discovered that M. 11. Camden is ill and that Louis \V. Carnefix and Charles L. Hutchinson had been officially notified ofc their apMr. Carnefix and Mr. Hutchinson promised to come to the city hall poste haste and were ou the job this afternoon. Members of the beard of public safety met informally this afternoon to check over appointments in the police and fire departments and superintend the issuance of badges. P-VKK DEPARTMENT REVISION EXPECTED. The mayor was having prepared a fist of all positions, their occupants and salaries in the park department. Considerable revision of this -JUt is expected to take place at a meeting of the new park board Thursday morning. New department heads dared, not put their heads into the halls. To do so was to be surrounded by dozens of job-hungry men and some women. All travel from department to department, in consequence, was through the secret stairways and passages. • Fred S. Knodle, secretary to Mr. Shank, end Mrs. Flo *Peekman, the mayor's stenographer, were kept busy throughout the day trying to appease the throng in the mayor’s reception room. Some eager aspirants sent notes in to Mr. Shank through the lucky ones who were admitted to the private office. Upon Mayor Shank's instruuctions the board of safety rescinded the regulation of the former board providing for the issuance by the chief of police of “no •parking” signs for downtown merchants to place in front of their stores. The board then sent policemen out to Buiect all of the signs so that now the places parking is prohibited downtown are the safety zones and near fire plugs. MOPES IT WIDE DEAD TO READ TRAFFIC DAW. “That regulation wasn't the law, anyway,” said Mayor Shank. “Now that we’ve taken the signs away, maybe the merchants will come to me and ask for a real parking law, a modern traffic ordinance something like a city the size of Indianapolis should have.” Tbe mayor spent bis first morning in his office In receiving callers and straightening out such details of reorganization of departments as require his attention. He said he was not going to worry about how to get rid of some of the policewomen who have refused so far to heed his request to resign. “Don't worry abo'ut them,” he said. “I’m leaving that to Chief Rikhoff. If be doesn’t get rid of them I’ll give you a new hat.”’ Mayor Shank said be did not intend to do anything about the appointment of the fourth member of tbe board of public health right away. A few hours before the inauguration a controversy between Dr. E. E. Hodgin, chairman of the new board, and Mr. Shank developed over the appointment of the fourth, member. It was rumored at first that the squabble was over the appointment of Dr. Richard A. Poole as superintendent of the city hospital and that Dr. Hodgin and I>r. Karl A. Ruddell, originally named for the board membership, were the contending parties. It leaked out later, however, that Mr. Shank wanted to name Dr. W. 11. 8’" 'eman as the board member in place of Ruddell. He said it is likely if he s name Dr. Ruddell it will be for the n expiring next June and that Dr. Foreman will be named to replace him then. VARIOUS BOARDS MEET AT ONCE. The boards of public works, public safety, health and park commissioners met immediately after their appointments were technically completed. They devoted most of their time to making appointments to fill minor positions, but the board of safety found time to adopt one resolution defining an important piece of policy. The board declared its intention not to reinstate any policeman or fireman discharged for drinking or who resigns under charges of drinking. This board also changed its reguiar m ting time from 10 o’clock Tuesday m ning to 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon and is holding its first regular meeting this afternoon. The three-quarters board of health discussed Its broken financial condition and decided it could get along with a temporary loan of $175,000 until the June taxes come in. To keep within this amount, the board decided to discharge ail but three or four of the twenty-seven sanitary inspectors and have ten policemen assigned as inspectors in their place by the board of public safety. The remaining health inspectors will Instruct the policemen. A tangle which was causing the new administration some embarrassment was

solved when George Griffin was appointed plumbing inspector. Joseph Swain is to be retained as plumbing inspector also. Griffin was to have displaced Swain, but there was considerable criticinn of the move. DR. HODGIN HEADS BOARD. Dr. Hodgin was formally elected president, and Dr. Goethe Dink, vice president, Dr. Morgan was re-elected secretary and Newton J. McGuire attorney of the board. Dr. Richard A. Poole was elected assistant superintendent of the city hospital and Dr. R. K. Coble, superintendent of the city dispensary. Drs. Ernest Coffield and Glenn Pell were added to the dental staff of the hospital. The board considered razing the middle of the three old buildings at the hospital and the construction of a fireproof unit in its place and decided to engage an architect to investigate the situation. The park board retained all of the present office staff of the department. After he had received the keys to the city hail from Mayor Charles W. Jewett and the oath of office from Judge ,W. W. Thornton, yesterday in the mayor’s private office. Mr. Shank and Mr. Jewett went to the second floor balcony and addressed the crowd which filled every inch of standing space in the corridors of the four floors. The Rev. W. U. Trueblood prayed for divine guidance of the new administration and Mr. Jewett spoke of the trials which face every mayor. He urged generosity from the public in its attitude toward Mr. Shank. SHANK ASKS COOPERATION. Mr. Shank asked for the help of all citizens and issued a warning that violation of the liquor and gambling laws will not be tolerated. He said he and Chief of Police Herman F. Rikhoff wera not going to be put in a position where they would have to say “Good morning, Judge Anderson.” Politicians were warned not to come to the mayor seeking clemency for bootleggers and gamblers. “The screws are on the bootleggers,” gaid Mr. Shank.

SIBERIA GRIPS ATTENTION IN ARMS SESSION (Continued From Fage One.) delegation Lore are content to rest on theiq oars for the time being. They reiterated that they have other documents bearing on Franco-Japanese intrigue in the Far East and that these may be made public at ihe proper moment. None of tbe ers of the Washington conference are “officially” taking any cognizance of the Chifa disclosures, but “unofficially” tho revelations art- being discuss“d almost to the exclusion of submarines and 'the date of the conference adjournment, two highly regarded topics of conservation for the past ten days. The conference Itself moved steadily toward adjournment today. Indications were when the experts resumed the gathering up of loose ends of the navat program that the five-powered naval treaty will be ready for submission to a plenary session of tbe conference by the last of this week. The one deterrent factor is the Root resolution, proposing restrictions that virtually kill the submarine as a legal weapon of warfare. So far only the American and British governments have approved it entirely, the Japanese, French and Italian delegates referring it to their hou e governm :nta for instruction. , Strong doubt was expressed whether the Root resolution would be adopted as it lies. Indications were that the French and Japanese at least will decline to approve it, although they have not received final instructions from their respective governments. The sentiment among the delegates here, howver, is against it. The opinion was expressed In responsible quarters that the naval treaty ultimately will go no further than pledging the powers to observe existing international law in the ‘"visit and search” of merchant vessels by submarines in war times. Methods of scrapping existing tonnage, methods of replacement and the date on which replacement construction can begin, are other minor points that remain to be adjusted. It Is possible, too, that consideration of Chinese problems will be resumed this week. Negotiations are under way for a reopening of the ChinoJapanese conversations over the return of Shantung, which were discontinued when a deadlock was reached over tn* matter of railroad control. Gasoline in Lamp Costs Seven Lives AMOS, Quebec, Jan. 3. —Seven persons, Joseph Perron Sr., his slster-1n law, Mrs. Edmond Perron, and her five children perished when the Perron homestead, eighteen miles from here, burned today, lire followed explosion of a lamp, filled with gasoline by mistake. Edmond Perron and two other children escaped by jumping into a snow bank.

States May Again Rule Rail Rates WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Restoration to the States of their powers over intrastate railroad rates and fares and final confirmation in the States of such powers is provided in bill to be reported favorably within a few .days by the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, it was learned today. The bill bas been under consideration by tbe committee for several weeks and only a few touches are necessary to put tbe legislation jn shape. JAY. A. CRAVEN HEADS BOARD OF SANITATION (Continued From Page One.) been left until the board was reorganized. Mr. Swift explained that he and Mr. Lingenfelter had taken this action because it had been rumored to him that Mr. Craven was controlled ty Mayor Samueul Lewis Shank and that Mr, Craven and Mr. Elliott intended to dispense with the services of many employes and get cheaper men. Mr. Swift has been a most* bitter and vituperous enemy of Mayor Shank for a long time. Mr. Shank has indicated upon a number of occasions that nothing would give him greater happiness than to see Mr. Swift's connection with the city government severed, although he never has demanded Mr. Swift's resignation. Mr. Swift said he would not resign anyway. In view of these rumors, Mr. Swift said, he and Mr. Lingenfelter had felt that for the good of the board’s work the services of the seven men should be guaranteed by being contracted for for the period of the work. This led Mr. Elliott to remark that he thought it was a little discourteous on the part of the majority of the former board to take such action, but that that was a matter of the past and now the whole board should look toward the good of the future. NAMED ENGINEER FOR HIS VBIDITY. In answer to Mr. Swift’s indirect charge that. Mr. Shank was trying to wreck the board's organization, Mr. Elliott outlined the manner of his own appointment as city civil engineer. He said he was not appointed as a politician, but as an engineer. It is well known that Mr. Shank did not know Mr. Elliott and bad never seen him until the day he called the engineer to the Lincoln hotel to inform him he had been selected to head the engineering department. Mr. Elliott said he had made only one promise to Mr. Shank and the public and that this was to do what he felt was absolutely right and for the best Interests of the people at large. He assured Mr. Swift and Mr ('raven his actions as a sanitary hoard member would lie upon this principle. BREAK CONTRACTS FOR EFFICIENCY. “If I feel that there is inefficiency and excess in the overhead of the department l will do anything 1 can to correct it, even to the extent of breaking those seven contracts if desirable,” said Mr. Elliott. “However, I will not do anything until I have investigated and determined in my own mind what is the right and just thing to do. ‘ There never has been a single word of discussion between Mr. Shank anil myself about sanitary board appointments. Mr. Shank never has asked to have anybody fired or appointed in this department. I do not intend to fire anybody unless in the interest of saving money far tbe city of Indianapolis. If it is Justified to spend all that money for overhead I'm going to stand by it, but if it is not I’m going to do all I can to eliminate the excess.” Mr. Craven said he felt the same way about It. No successor for Mr. Craven as secretary was elected. The “majority” members said the law does not provide for a secretary and that none will be elected. The minutes of the meeting show the board adopted a resolution authorizing the president anil vice-president to sign requisition for articles not to exceed S2OO of any single purchase. Truly Nolan, superintendent of the garbage and ash collection and disposal department, was authorized to Bell fifty bushels of damaged corn.

ADVOCATES OF IRISH TREATY ASK ADOPTION (Continued From Fuse One.) throats of the Irish at the point of the bayonet. ” Collins interrupted, shouting: ‘'.Flare you seen their ruined homes? Hare you 1 heard their murdered sons?” O’Connor had started oil mildly enough, saying he was going to set an example of brerity. BAYS FRIENDS OF TREATY DESERTED. "The treaty has suffered from tlio desertion of some of its advocates,” said O'Connor. "I am unable to understand whether it was a treaty of consent or was signed under duress." One of the most vitriolic attacks against the treaty was made by Countess Marciewlcz, a member of the I>aJl Cabinet. “I prefer death to the dishonor < f this treaty,” said she. "I know the people of Ireland stand by me, that they will I light to their death.” FREEDOM IN PEACE TREATY I ARMAGH, Ireland, Jan. S.—“ The Irish [ peace treaty gives greater freedom than Ireland was ever offered before,” said Cardinal Logue, primate of Ireland, in a public address here today. “It gives substant.ally everything necessary to the welfare and progress of the country. It would be a terrible calamity if it were rejeced on account of verbal quibbles." REPORT REIGN OF TERROR IN BELFAST BELFAST, Jan. 3.—Mobs held this city in a reign of terror throughout the night. Heavy detachments of soldiers battled mobs in an effort to clear the streets and restore order. The soldiers fired on the mobs and used the bayonet. Armored cars are patrolling the streets. Cp to noon two men had been killed and many wounded. Crowds of men, drunk with whisky seized in looted stores, fought the police and soldiers until a dozen armored cars drove up on the sidewalk and threatened to run them down. The crowds dispersed only to gather in some new quarter. Time and again the soldiers charged with fixed bayonets or fired volleys over the heads of the rioters. After midnight all lights were extinguished and the city was left in darkness. Tremendous property damage was done. In some districts all the windows in houses on both sides of the streets were smashed. YKLI.OW CAB LINE SUES WEIDLEY. Judgment of $15,000 today was asked In a suit filed in Superior Court, Room 3, by the Yellow Cab Manufacturing Company, formerly the Walden W. Shaw Livery Company against the Weidley Motors Company of Indianapolis for alleged breach of contract. It is claimed that the plaintiff had a contract with the defendant compar.; by which the motor company was to furnish a certain type of engine. The plaintiff claims that the contract was violated when the defendant company did not provide the type of engine designated in the contract.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1922.

GOV. SPROUL WILL SUCCEED BOIES PENROSE (Continued From Page One.) a Joint resolution of adjournment which was quickly accepted. DODGE OFFERS RESOLUTIONS. "It ii with deep regret and profound sorrow that I announce to the Senate the death of the senior Senator from Pennsylvania,” said Senator Lodge. “I have seen service here with him for many years and he has long been my friend. 1 am sure the grief we feel at his death is shared by all who have known him (luring his distinguished services in the Senate. In the absence of the Junior Senator from Pennsylvania (Crow) I offer the following resolutions.” Senator Lodge then offered the resolutions expressing the “deep regret and profound sorrow of the Senate,” at the death of Senator Penrose. The resolutions also provided that a copy be sent to the House and another copy to members of hts immediate family. There was a solemn silence in the Senate as the clerk read the resolutions and they were adopted with hushed voices. Lodge immediately offered another resoluiion to adjourn the Senate. This was also adopted with a subdued response of “ayes.” A realignment of Republican committee assignments made necessary by the vacancy caused by Penrose’s death was well under way with Senator McCumber of North Dakota to succeed him as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Senator I'rMinghuj sen of New Jersey was seeking the vacancy caused by McCumber moving up on the committee, while Republican members of the “agricultural bloc” were striving to have one of their number, notably Senator McNary of Oregon, selected. PROGRAM WILD RKQI IRE TIME. Several days probably will elapse before the Republican committee on committees is able to work out a program which will end the scramble for committee assignments. Six months at least of strenuous labor confronts Congress with considerable legislation of the utmost importance to be disposed of. Republican and Democratic loaders alike are wondering what effect prospective tariff and other domestic legislation will have ou this year’s congressional elections and they are both mapping out their courses accordingly. The first thing of a political controversial nature to engage the Senate's attention will be the Ford Newberry election contest, final consideration of which is expected to be begun by unanimous consent on Friday. Each side is claiming enough votes to either seat or unseat Senator Newberry. VOTE LIKELY TO HE NEXT WEEK. The vote probably will not come until next week. The "unfinished business" of the Senate is the legislation to place a “dirt farmer” on the Federal Reserve Board. By unanimous consent final consideration of the bill is to be begun not later thau 2 p. in., Jan. 17. The so called anti-lynching bill is one of the first measures the House will tackle. The customary appropriation Dills are to be taken up Subsequently under the new budget system after they are reported in turn by the House Appropriations Committee.

HAY SUSTAINS TWO POINTS IN SWAILS’ BEHALF (Contlnocd From Pnge Ono.) claimed that Swails obtained five votes anJ Devericks only four. The court indicated that Devericks did not obtain the majority of the votes. QUESTION OF ELIGIBILITY. Judge Hay also expressed an opinion which might leave some doubt as to tbe eligibility of Mr. Swails to be appointed county superintendent of schools under the statutes which wore in effect last spring. It is contended that Mr. Swails had only a two-year teachers’ certificate and not a three-year certificate as required by law. As Mr. Swails holds the office until his successor is duly elected and qualified, it is beginning to appear now that since Mr. Devericks did not obtain tbe majority of tlie votes. Mr. Swails will hold the office until the next election. That point will he fought out In court when the first and second paragraphs of Mr. Derericks’ complaint comes to issue. In those paragraphs It is alleged that Mr. Swail) did not receive a majority vote because (he county commissioners had declared l’lke Township abolished at the time the trustees voted. SIO,OOO DAMAGE SUIT. Damages of SIO,OOO today were nsked by Nett a Van Noy against I’robst & Kassebaum, Inc., dealers in flour and feed, for alleged injuries sustained in a collision between an automobile in which the plalniiff was riding aud a horse and wagon driven by an agent of tlie defendant company.
