Herbert Hartman has lost some of his determination to clear his name in the courts I HOWEVER, metered telephone service without rebates for wrong numbers would never be acceptable! THE CITY COUNCIL will never make itself popular by refusing to hold meetings to assist in the relief of unemployment! ANYHOW, the feminine addition to our list of justices of the peace cannot possibly do a worse job than has been done in the past! TWO MEN wanted for liquor law violations surrendered to the police. Have they been reading Mayor Shank’s statements and become discouraged? IT CERTAINLY IS refreshing to have an official admit that there is something wrong with Luciu3 Swift’s incomparable system of collecting (?) ashes I RATHER REMARKABLE, is it not, that Mayor Shank should have to tell the policemen who were "taken out of politics’’ by the Jewett administration of their political errors? Policewomen Mayor Shank's difficulties with the women members of the police department and the attendant publicity have proved beyond all dispute that it is foolish to undertake to employe women in the same capacity as men in the police department No one will deny that there is, in police work, a well-defined sphere for women. There may be some dispute over the size of this sphere and Its relative importance but it unquestionably exists and should be recognized. Just as men have proved more efficient than women in some phases of police work, so women will prove more efficient than men in some others. It is, of course, nonsense to expect women to patrol beats and otherwise perform the duties of patrolmen which duties often prpve too irksome for able-bodied men. Such assignments of this kind as have been made in the police department are either with a view to testing the mettle of the policewomen or demonstrating their limited usefulness. A considerable fuss has been stirred up to no good purpose over the policewomen employed by the last administration. That they were ineffiand In many cases more useful in the protection of a favored in the suppression of vice is well known to newspapermen and jflflTwho were In a position to watch their work. That their department, vla full staff of officers, was a waste of public money was self-evident. ij&'Xf Mr. Shank did the right thing in abolishing the department and the gxficism he has received therefor is purely sentimental. IP* The women who remain in the p:lice department will eventually be Hsigned to work which they are fitted to perform and which they will Rubiles3 perform better than men. But until that adjustment of police ivork is accomplished there will continue to be revealed Instance after instance that will demonstrate the fact that the franchise does not necessarily create the ability to fill every -mbltc job. A Knotty Problem The public is still loath to accept at their face value all of the charges made before the senatorial investigating committee in Washington relative to the wanton slaying and execution of American soldiers in France, but the mass of evidence already accumulated proves, in the minds of many, that members of the A. E. F. were harshly dealt with at times. One peculiar thing, which the former service man has not failed to note, is that all of the testimony has come from former enlisted men and is directed against alleged cruelty which they declare was practiced by their superior officers. There has been a marked feeling on the part of some soldiers ever since a discharge lifted them from the bonds of martial law, that certain commissioned officers had arrogated to themselves a power not delineated in the tables of organization nor the articles of war and there Is little doubt that In some instances this feeling Is justified. One officer Is charged with having shot an American soldier down cn the battlefield. If the count is true the guilty person should be obliged to expiate the crime, even at this late date. In the fire and smoke of battle, where men's lives were valued at a very low cost, many untoward things occurred. Men’s visions -were perverted; their morals were changed. Things like the Major Opie Incident could have taken place, or just as likely a doughboy, facing death in the flaming German shells, could have visualized the scene There is little likelihood, however, that a group of Senators, sitting here and who never saw a battlefield until after time had exerted its healing influence, will ever be able to show to the satisfaction of all the people that American fighting men were treated with a despotism that would have done credit to the Kaiser’s rigid military code.

Entangling Alliances “Entangling alliances," to which so many of the persons now engaged in the work of the conference on limitation of armaments so strongly objected only a short time ago, now seem to be the order of the day. First, there is the Far Eastern agreement which has been described as a “little Article 10." Now it seems'that an agreement carrying an “implied threat of force” is to be tacked on to the naval limitation agreement. According to reports said to emanate from an authoritative source, an agreement is to be made among the five powers concerned in the naval limitation to guide their course of action in case of war. The agreement would define ways of handling wars among those who are parties to the agreement or with “outsiders,” according to the report. Under this agreement, it i3 stated, there is a threat of an enlarged naval building program in case of war and an arrangement whereby the contracting parties would meet, presumably to ask the assistance of one another. Thus there would be formed simply an “entente" or another “holy alll ance.” The United States would simply be a party to an alliance such as thoße which existed before the World War. This is going farther than the League of Nations ever anticipated. The league would have included the whole world and would not be an alliance that could make war on “outsiders." This latest proposal is carrying “entangling alliances” to the extreme. Such a thing would make George Washington, whom the opponents of the League of Nations were so pleased to quote, turn over in his grave. Boxing Exhibitions High-grade boxing exhibits, supervised by men in whom the public can have confidence would be welcomed by a large number of Indianapolis lovers of the sport who have needlessly been deprived of the privilege of witnessing such bouts in recent years. Mayor Shank has indicated a desire to allow public boxing exhibitions during his administration and the move is popular for the reason that ths sport has a larger number of followers now than it ever possessed before. If Indianapolis can become known as the home of clean boxing, and bouts can be staged without the suggestion of crokedness the advantage to the city will be obvious. But, if political workers are to be rewarded for their efforts by being accorded the privilege of collecting gate receipts from exhibits that are not "on the level,” then the whole project will be to the detriment of the administration and the city. There Is a strong demand for boxing exhibitions of the proper kind in Indianapolis. There has been a decided change in the atitude of the public toward these exhibits since they became so popular during the war. The success or the failure of the proposed exhibits depends almost entirely on the quality of the supervision that is given them. If the mayor succeeds in naming a commission or sponsors who will give the time necessary to a proper supervision of the sport it will be possible to maintain boxing in Indianapolis. If he does not, then public indignation will soon put an end to It.

A TENDER GHOST IS BARRIE’S GIFT To the Modern ‘Spook* Drama of the Stage

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. A tender and lovable ghost is Mary Rose. J. M. Barrie in “Mary Rose” has given us a pretty and lovable ghost. A ghost that plavs on your emotions and heart that’s the ghost “®r-' Barrie Introduces us f i which was revealed H nt English's last 'iSsBNMM night with Rutn as the Mary Rose. . ' Opinions will vary kHP, t°be latest Barrie . play because the }>' Vi-' I M j author takes a sky- -' .Jmfei rocket excursion ln'"mugm to the great be- ,■> yond. Barrie moves very rapidly in his Ruth Chattel-ton. new play. ‘I he actual time space covered between tuo first scene of the first act and the end of the first scene of the third and final act is ten minutes but the action in the storv covers a period of over fifty years. It'is my opinion that this new Barrie play should not be approached with shell rimmed “specs” and a cap and attitude. Don’t bother yourself about Barrie’s theory. Make up your mind that “Mary Rose” isn’t a play ot theories but a masterful recital of a beautifully weird lerend of the Scotsmen. If you aproach "Mary Rose 1 In a university graduation state of mind, 1 am sure you will damage every chance or having a wonderful mental excuslon with the word’s most beautiful Creamer. Remembering that ’Mary Rose” Is a fanciful and beautiful legend or Jtory told with the most extravagant flights of fancy that Barrie has ever exhibited, 1 can assure patrons of the stage that “Mary Rose" is an exquisite something from the fanciful think-box of .lames M. Barrie. Let us approach “Mary Rose” in this manner. The theater has been darkened for over three minutes. Suddenly far away singing is heard. Shortly, then more silence and the same awful darkness. The curtain rises. The scene is the desolate living-room of the former home of Morlands. In the semi-darkness a woman walks with uncertain steps to a door. She draws back in horror and fear. She returns to the door through which she had entered the room and asks a man to come up. He does. In the play be is known as Harry. He is in the uniform of a soldier. After years of fighting and wandering over the globe he has returned to the desolate scenes of his birthplace. Harry is the son of Mary Hose and Simon Blake. The woman we have seen so far is only the housekeeper, Mrs. Otery. She warns Harry that “something is wrong” in the house. The something is a ghost. Harry desires to enter the door before which the housekeeper stood In fear. She warns him that some harm might come to him

if he remains in the room. He asks her to prepare a mug of tea for him. She leaves with the warning that he should keep a long knife near him instead of leaving it on a table. The housekeeper withdraws and Harry sits down in a chair. The door of mystery opens without visible hands. A terrible creepy feeling steals over one. Then a slow curtain. Then we are introduced to things that pass before Harry as he sits in his deserted ancestral home. We see the happy but strictly proper home of the Morlands. Mr. Morland and Rev. George Amy are having a heated argument over the value of a certain print. The two men quarrel and the good Mrs. Morland causes them to make up and be friends again. Then we hear of Mary Rose and the strange circumstances surrounding her. We are told that Mary Rose and Simon Blake are in love and that wedding bells will be heard. Mary Rose comes into the living room through an open window, after she had climbed an apple tree near the big window of the room. Mary Rose is a typical Barrie character. She does not appear to be of the earth. She seems to be just a delightful whisper of the ultimate, i She wants her dandy to treat Simon nice when he Hskg for her hand. She goes ’ upstairs into an apple room, so she can pound on the floor so as to give Simon encouragement. Simon enters and here Barrie is most delightful. Simon is told that when Mary Rose was about 12 years of age sho visited an island in the Outer Hebrides and as her father was rowing to the island to get her one afternoon, she suddenly disappeared. At the end of thirty days she appeared on the island—not changed uud Unconscious to the fact that she had been absent thirty flays. Her parents never told her of her strange disappearance. It makes no difference to Simon and he gives a signal to inform Mary Rose In the npple room that her parents had consented. In the second act we see the mysterious island which likes to be visited. Mary and Simon have been married for four years. A son has been born. Mary Rose with her husband and a boatsman by the name of Cameron visit the island. Mary and Simon are greatly in love. Cameron tells them of the strange legends surrounding ihe island. After a lunch on the island, and just before they prepare to row away. Mary Rose hears the strange call of the island and sho disappears Only the frarrlc cries of Simon tells the pitiful story that Mary Rose had disappeared again into the “lovely, lovely land.” The first scene of the final act shows the Morland home twenty-five years after Mary’s second disappearance. The Mnrlands are old. Simon has never remarried. The son of Mary Rose had grown up and had become a wanderer. Suddenly Mary Rose returns, dressed just ns she was on the day she disappeared twenty-five years ago. She hns not aged and cannot understand why tho hair of her mother and father is white and why her boy is not a baby. She gives a cry of the heart and vanishes Into the r om which was used as nursery twenty-five years ago. Now wo reach the final scene of the last act and we find Harry, the son, Just s we left him in tho first set no of the first act. The housekeeper, who has b"en absent ten minutes returns with the mug of tea and asks If ho has seen anything Tie tells her of the strange Things which hns coma to him while h sat in tho chair. Then we hare the supreme Barrie touch. The tender and lovable ghost of Mary Rose returns to the deserted home. Bha is searching for her baby boy. Although she talks to him and he holds her on his kr.ee, Mary Rose does not realize that hr scur h his over. Instead she fills through the window as the stars wink and sho goes to the “lo\ely, lovely place” where she can play. That is the story of "Mary Roso” told in my own way. Please do not consider "Mary Rose” as a heavy play. Just permit Barrio to unfold his story through an exquisite stage production and by the masterful acting of Ruth Chatterton. Tom Nesbitt as Harry and ns Simon Blake; Bertha Bali lenger, I-’retlerlck Lloyd, Winifred Fraser, j A. B. Homewood and Guy Buckley. Mies Chatterton has caught the real; Barrie Idea. Her triumph Is one of tho greatest of modern times. It Is as perfect ns acting can be. It is impossible to discuss the acting points of Miss Chutteron and Mr. Nesbitt at this time but I promise you I will do it tomorrow. At English’s today and Saturday.

ARMS PARLEY PROVES VALUE OF DISCUSSION ‘Greatest Gathering of Its Kind/ Says British Statesman. HAS DONE BIG THINGS Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The armaments conference above all elJe, has served to prove the efficacy of the conference method for dealing with international affairs and hag strengthened the conference habit among the nations of the world. Thus did a member of the British delegation, speaking with the full authority of his government and his * colleagues summarize the Washington meeting now entering upon its closing or drafting stage. The achievement! of tho coi Terence, the Britisher asserted, if Judged from any one angle—naval, Far Eastern or Pacific, makes it the greatest gathering of its kind. The British view of the conference accomplishments he outlined as follows: On the naval side there hai been or will be an agreement, which will last for a number of years between tbe five I world naval pow>ers on capital ships, i removing the menace of ruinous naval rivalry now going on between at least three of th tt powers, the United States, Great Britain and japan. The size of the capital ship has been limited to 35,000 tons and the caliber of lti guns held to sixteen inches, and accomplishment in itself deemed unlikely before the delegates met in Washington. Cruisers have been limited in size to 10,000 tons and their gun3 restricted to eight inchej. AIRCRAFT AGREEMENTS. But the most remarkable accomplishment, in the opinion of tho British spokesman, Is the agreement on aircraft carriers. The conference, he said, met when the world stood on the threshold of s new naval competition, in the aircraft carrier, a weapon doubtless capable of unlimited development. The agreement limits both the tonnage and guns of aircraft carriers and prevents the building of mammoth vessels which would be capable of raiding sencoasts and oven attacking cities far Inland by means of th.-ir airplanes. “I here is no conference l know of that hns done so much as this one,” said the anonymous Britisher. “The Root resolution limiting the uses of the submarine would have been a vast achievement if nothing more had been accomplished. “In tlio long range the biggest achlevemet In the dawning realization that the submarine has little or no use as a defensive weapon. Opinion Is moving on the subject and we shall see how far It moves In the future. There will be more said about the submarine at this confer en<-e. Ideas have sprung up hero that will take hold on the masses of the people and will not be permitted to die.” END OF ANGLOJAPANESE ALLIANCE. The ending of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, he characterised as the removal of a “stumbling block” to the good understanding and good relations between certain nations. “China has got a lot out of the conference,” he Insisted ; "the solution of the Shantung difficulty is now in sight. I We haTO agreed to give China, Insofar as she herself has not given away certain rights, a benefit that no nation in the world has ever been given before. The nine nations at the conference have pledged themselves to form a 'nursing ring’ around China. The Root resolution on China has given her s chance to recover from the chaotic conditions which the overturning of the old Imperial recline nnd the establishment ot s republican form of government has created. "Then, there is the question of Tap and the general question of the former

RATE BOOST OF SHIP OPERATORS KINDLES WRATH Hoover Indicates Russian Relief Supplies May Be Sent in Foreign Bottoms. Special to Indiana Dally Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Jan. o—The American relief rdmlnlstratlon, acting in conjunction with the shipping board has nipped | in the bud tbe apparent plan of American steamship operators to make a “killing” I on the transportation of Russian relief j supplies provided by the $20,000,000 congressional appropriations. Following the receipt here of lnformai tion that independent American operators, ; heretofore currying relief supplies to Baltic ports, had raised ocean rates more than from .’>o to 50 per cent on the pros- | pect of the Government’s business, Herj bert Hoover, as head of tbe American relief, immediately called upon the shipping board for thirty vessels to handle tbe supplies. Announcement was made later by Chairman Lasker that shipping board vessels available at Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Baltimore and Newport News would be put in shape at once and tho supplies Intended as a gift to the American people to tbe starving Russians would be carried at cost. According to the view here the concerted action of the steamship companies In suddenly raising rates from S6.SO a ton to $S.5u and $5.75 in the face of the foreign shipping rate of about $5 a ton was caused by the knowledge that the $20,000,000 appropriated specifically provided foodstuffs be carried in American bottoms. Considering the fact that American vessels, no later than last week, were carrying goods to Baltic ports at a rate no higher than $0.50, the big Increase is regarded here as plain attempt to derive large profits from nn enterprise purely humanitarian, in its nature. The appropriation was made in lump sum form nnd nn increase in the cost of transportation naturally diverts funds which might be used to purchase supplies. Thousands of Russian children, it was pointed out, might fail to receive relief if the administration was forced to ship its supplies at the latest schedule of rates announced by tho operators. Mr. Hoover xusde no secret of tho fact that the relief administration and tbe Government did not propose to submit to tbe new rates. lie indicated also that American operators, who heretofore have received business from the relief administration end who had expected to get the shipments of supplies purchased here with the fund provided by the soviet government, might find that these shipments will be sent to Russia in foreign bottoms. The relief administration Is under no obligation to use American ships for supplies purchased with its own funds or the funds of soviet Russia.—Copyright, 1922. by Public I-edger Company.

Highways and By-Ways of LiF OF New York (Copyright, 1922, by the Public Ledger Company.)

Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. NEW YORK, Jan. <5. —War strategists know tho full value of cutting off an enemy's ammunition train. Artillery barrages aro put down upon the roads leading to the enemy’s first lino trenches to prevent the delivery of ammunition to the fighting forces. Without ammunition no army can fight. In New York City politics we also have strategists—shrewd, alert, far-thinking men who specialize in the art of dropping barrages and counter-barrages. Tbe ramifications of political strategy are often fully as mystifying to tbe voters as the true purpose of the flying projectiles over the battle area are to the simple soldier. Tho ammunition of a political campaign is money. Without money contributions a political party is hopelessly defeated—especially true la this of the anti-Tammany forces in this metropolis—and its leadership is put in the plight of a captain of a ship without water, unless you can put your opponents in a much worse light with respect to finances than you are in yourself. Tammany knew last fall it could not raise a great deal of money for its candidates. Hence it sniffed around after the manner of all “Tigers," and decided upon the next best thing, namely, to shut off the other people from getting any big money. That is how Tammany came to enter into one of tho most daring exploits ever conceived in the annals of American politics, which culminated a few days ago in the last official act of a retiring Tammany district attorney who suddenly appeared before a Tammany Supremo Court Justice, and moved to quash an indictment which since its finding April 15, 1918. has been held like an artillery barrage in front of the men who had raised a huge campaign fund for John Puroy Mltchel, the 1917 fusion candidate for mayor. This beleaguered man was William Hamlin Childs, who made no effort whatever to collect a campaign fund for Henry H. Curren the 1921 fusion candidate for mayor.
