SHIFT OF U. S. ATTORNEYS MAY OCCUR MONDAY Delay Seen in Arrival of commission—Garrison to Remain Awhile. It is not believed by Federal officials that the formal transfer of the office of United States district attorney from | Frederick: Van Nuys to Homer Elliott It Martinville will be made before Mon- : ■y. It had been planned to make the ransfer Saturday, the date named by Mr. r an Nuys in his resignation, but Mr. Elliott’s commission is not expected to arrive before Monday as the nomination was not sent to the Senate by President Harding until Wednesday of this week. Mr. Elliott announced today that he had induced Samuel E. Garrison, assistant district attorney, to remain in the office for a few weeks. "In consenting to comply with this request, I realize that Mr. Garrison is making some sacrifice, as he has -fully perfected his arrangements to re-enter private practice, but he has a very thorough knowledge of the details of this office, and has made such an excellent record during his incumbency here, that I felt that in the interest of the public service, as well as my own interest, he ought to withhold his resignation a few days," Mr. Elliott said. "Both Mr. Cavins and myself would have been very glad indeed to have had Floyd J. Mattice remain with us for a few weeks, but Mr. Mattice has formed business connections that require his immediate service, and I do not feel that it would be fair to him to ask him to alter his plans. He has very kindly offered, however, to assist us from time to time, and we shall gladly avail ourselves of this offer, as I regard Mr. Mattice as a lawyer of more than ordinary ability in his line.” Mr. Garrison will re-enter the practice of law and has opened an office at 1108 State Life building, where ho will be sociated with James M. Ogden, city torney, and H. Nathan Swaim. He ade a record as assistant district attorney, a position he has held for the past two years under Mr. Van Nuys. Mr. Garrison came to Indianapolis in 1900 and was the first deputy prosecutor In Marlon County assigned to the juvenile "ourt. He was a deputy for one year ♦bile plliott Hooten was prosecutor, and for two years he served under Prosecutor Frank P. Baker.
Rabbit Shooting Season J£nds Jan. 9 Next Monday, jan. 9, is the last d:.y of the open season for lawful shooting of rabbits, the closed season becoming effective with the morning of the tenth. From that date until the first day of April, rabbits are protected by the Indiana game laws. George N. Mannfeia, superintendent of the fish and game division of the State conservation department, said more confusion exists regarding the open and closed Beason on rabbits than on any other species of wild game or game birds in this State. Hundreds of letters, supplemented by telephone calls, come to his desk in a season inquiring if there is a closed season on rabbits and when. He accounts for the confusion existing over the State to a misprint of the laws when they were codified, some books being distributed before the mistake was noticed and corrected. plough ton May Go to Germany as Envoy WASHINGTON. Jan. <s.—Announcement of the nomination of Representative A. B. Houghtqn, New York, as ambassadoi to Germany is expected shortly.

Red-Haired Man and Wife and 3 Kids Meet Mayor His hair was red, very red. He waited his turn In the crowd which was trying to get the ear of Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank in tho board of public works room today. Finally he worked his way to a spot in front of his honor. "Ah,” remarked the mayor. "Here’s a man I like. I like all red headed men.” The red haired man was quick to take his cue. “Mayor, I’m not only red headed. I’ve got a red headed wife and three red headed kids at home.” “You sure are entitled to a job then,” said Mr. Shank.
ARREST HEAD OF OIL COMPANY 0. L. Bartlett Held at Columbus Charged With Embezzlement, Special to The Times. COLUMBUS, Ind., Jan. 6.—C. L. Bartlett, president of the Indiana Oil Refining Company, was arrested today charged with embezzling $2,500 In caJh and SSSO in bonds from the funds of the company. The affidavit against Bartlett was filed by A. T. Conner, prosecuting attorney, and is drawn in two counts. Bartlett's bond was set at $2,000, and it is understood arrangements have been made to furnish this amount. The arrest of Bartlett came as the result of a fight between the stockholders of the company, in which the president was charged with mismanagement of the affairs of the company. A receiver was appointed for the company by an order of Judge John W. Donaker of the Circuit Court a short time ago. The Indiana Oil Refining Company has sold stock to persons residing in the majority of the counties of this State the company plant on the SeymourColumbus pike a few miles south of this city was nearly completed when the break between Bartlett and the stockholders came to a head.

GOTHAM BOOZE OFFICER WORKS ONE-MAN SQUAD Izzy Einstein, Champion Dry Agent, Just Drops in Any Time. NEW YORK, Jan. 6.—When the ancient and secret order of Hooch Guzzlers convenes In solemn oath bound conclave its members may feel safe from the prying eyes of "rum-hounds” who might attempt to spell the party by unceremoniously seizing the liquid refreshments and dragging those present off to the hoose-gow. In other cities, where ordinary prohibition officers enforce the “eighteenth commandment” this feeling of saftey might be justified: not so here. For Izzy Einstein, the one-man-booze squad, ehamelon-like masquerader of the dry forces may be expected to drop in anywhere from an exclusive party in a Fifth avenue miljdonair's residence to a private gathering of East Side ward heelsr. No amount of caution, no amount of secrecy can insure the prohibition lawbreaker against the' sudden and dramatic announcement of this dry sleuth that he is, Izzy Einstein, and that those present can prepare for a heavy fine or durance vile. When a group of convivial souls get together at the most exclusive clubs for actors to imbibe a nip of Scotch or synthetic Johnny Walker nobody can say for a certainty that Izzy may not be among them, dressed in formal glad rags and chattering props and scenery and "the profesh.” Or it may be an undertakers’ convention. In this case Izzy will be arrayed in all the sombre habiliments of that mbrbld trade, and few Indeed would recognize In this solemn young man anything bnt a business-like mortician. When Izzy fares forth in pursuit of the Demon Rum said D. R. must do some tall going to dodge this superdetective of the prohibition forces. His latest stunt was to appear on the big football field in Van Courtlandt Park disguised as four-elevenths of a footbail team. The soiled and grim-faced warriors, with headgear tilted back and nose guards banging from their belts, were none other than the famous Izzy Einstein squad. At a little case near phe park the four men roughly ordered the waiter to bring whisky and to hurry it up. Others at the bar were convinced their order sounded almost like a college yell and that these were indeed and truly veterans of the gridiron. Eddie, the waiter, saw too late that these were highball and not football stars. As it was he went uususpectlng- ! ly to his doom—somewhere in the back room—and returned with three small glasses. Ofie of the gridiron heroes handed Eddie $2.50 to pay the $2 25 bill and waited patiently for bis quarter back. , ’'Four-eight-seven-two!” shouted one of the men. and at the signal the team got inter action like a perfectly oiled machine, despite the fact none had touched the lubrication In the glasses before them. Izzy impounded the evidence and Eddie was turned over to the police on a charge of violating the well known Volstead act. In his comparatively brief career Izzy has impersonated a policeman, a poli tician, a movie actor, a newspaper reporter. a fireman, a truck driver and a longshoreman. His next may be a female Impersonation. Rich Heiress Fights to Save Neck of Negro PAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 6.-—George McKinley Grace, 22, negro, was hanged today for criminal assault on a white woman Feb. 24, 1920.

SUB CAPTAIN MADE PIRATE BY NEW RULES (Continued From Page One.) “ ' " It and frankly” with each other in case of trouble between two of the powers party to the agreement or with an outside party. So far as Great Britain Is concerned, it was officially, in case of attack she reserves the right to increase j her navy immediately to any figure she may deem advisable and expects other j powers to do the same. It would be an ; act of grace, however, for a nation under such circumstances to notify the others. WAR REGARDED AUTOMATIC RELEASE, j To sum it all up, it was stated, Great i Britain regards war as an automatic re* ; lease from the restrictions imposed by 1 the Hughes program. These clarifications from official British ! sources, coming on top of the agreement . that has been reached to exclude the i Japanese homeland from the provisions of the Pacific treaty are expected to allay I nearly all of the senatorial opposition to ! the set of treaties that will emerge from i the conference. I The rapid progress of the last twenty■four hours—the virtual prohibiting of submarine attacks on commerce and settlement of the Chinese tariff and foreign troops question—led to renewed predtcitions that another ten days will see the end of the parley.
TACKLES PIRACY RESOLUTION. The naval committee went back into session today to tackle the last of ths Root submarine resolutions, which makes it an act of piracy punishable by death for a submarine commander to violate the rules of submarine warfare now agreed upon. Discussion was also in progress over, methods of making the new rules of submarine warfare between the five powers applicable to the world. The method most favored is to address them directly to the smaller powers having navies and requesting their adhesion to them. It is possible that a plenary session of the conference may be called for tomorrow although the general expectation that it will be early next week. Two more treaties are expected from the conference, one consolidating the position of the powers with regard to China and another of the same general character pledging the powers to respect Russia’s territorial Integrity. COMMISSIONERS INSPECT SITES Wish to Obtain Land for Grouping of Institutions. The first inspection trip taken by Countv Commissioners Harry Tutewiler and Carlin Shank to look at prospective sites which might be suitable for the relocation of all county charitable institutions on one tract of laud, was taken today. The commissioners hare asked the 1,. 11. Trotter, a real estate agent, went to De<'atur Township, near West Newton, to look at a tract. The commissioners have nosked the county council at a meeting to be held some time this month, to indorse the plan of the commlslsoners to buy several hundred acres of land for the purpose of relocating an rlgrouplng the poor farm and other county institutions with the exception of Su liny side.

BELL COMPANY IS OPTIMISTIC IN RATE PLEA (Continued From Page One.) arrange for as many calls as possible to come from unmeasured telephones to them Instead of going the other way. He gave as an example the proposal that a grocer would call his customers Instead of having his customers call him, and that a husband would call bis wife instead of the wife calling the husband at his place of business. The cost of service in the measured telephones would thus be kept down, he said, because there will be no charge for incoming calls. Mr. Romine declared no additional equipment would be necessary to take
