JIM GOODRICH is simultaneously reported to have brought about the pardon of Horace G. Murphy, Muncie swindler, and to have purchased control in an Indianapolis bank. A wine diversity of accomplishments! The Women's Disappointment Women supporters of Samuel Lewis Shank are beginning to reauze that although they did the major part of the actual work that resulted in the election of Mr. Shank they have not received appointments in any way equal to what they expected and what they believe is their due. failure of these women to land any places on the major boards in administration is probably due more to their inability to unite in anv one woman candidate than to anything else. Shank would probably have been compelled to appoint a woman the board of safety or the board of works had there been a conHHf movement on the part of the women to obtain the appointment. newly elected mayor has so far escaped such a complication bethe women have been unable to agree among themselves as to who Bmuld be their representatives. But Mayor Shank has not been able to Escape a vast amount of criticism from the women because of his failure to j 'appoint to office a single member of his women’s advisory board. It is admitted that he has offered them positions in his administration, but the women do not hesitate to declare that he was always careful to offer them positions they could not accept ’The failure of these women to “land” with the new administration may be attributed to lack of experience in politics which will not exist in another campaign. The next time there are likely to be some things understood before registration and other work is done In behalf of any candidate.

Senator Watson Joins Alice in Wonderland W V Even the most rabid partisan will be constrained to smile Indulgent’.? Senator Watson's discovery that the Harding Administration by Its “monumental achievements” thus far marks one of “the great and inspiring periods of American history.” When the Senator becomes Intoxicated with his rhetoric, Alice in Wonderland has nothing on him. He has reviewed the first year for the New York Times and in his best stump speech manver. He “points with pride” to the fact that the Administration has ended the war with but fails to explain the six months’ delay and the stupidity of the treaty as described with smiles by the German govt rnment hi' presenting it to the Reichstag. We note, too, with interest, that the Senator does not add —-“and we have withdrawn the American soldiers from the Rhine.” He has the temerity to mention the immigration law which but recently “shocked” the President in its operations and has filled the world with laughter. Without a wink, between the lines, we read of the passage of the budget law and the statement that “it was postponed by the veto o? a similar measure by President Wilson.” The Senator knows better. Pres ident Wilson vetoed the bill because of an unconstitutional provision which was struck from the measure which became a law. He points to the farmers’ emergency tariff act, but fails to point to the advantage the farmer has reaped in the prices of his product. No Wilson $2.50 wheat for him today under this emergency act. He rejoices over the strengthening of the Volstead act And—heaven save the mark—the Senator who so eloquently declaimed on the stump last year about the viciousness of the policy of mixing in European affairs, and upon the treason of Article X, looks upon the League of Nations, limited, confined to the five great military powers, and built upon the corner stone of Article X and solemnly assures us that it Is the greatest step toward international justice In the history of the world. Can the Senator be joking? g ure ly—f or we read: “The problem of International relationships rendered acute by the course of the preceding Administration!” The turmoil of the world following war, the trembling of the fabric of civilization, ail caused by the preceding Administration! And thus the present Administration must go to the covenant of the document that will make the last immortal, and build a little chicken coop beside the I>alace. It will amaze the average careless student of portentous events to find that in enumerating the “achievements” of the Harding Administration, the Senator has been able to fill three columns! Every petty bill, ©very amendment, put down with the flourish with which others might refer to the Federal reserve system. But the Senator is a master egg walker. He has the temerity to mention the tariff bill enacted by the House, universally denounced and damned, and even ordered to execution by the Senate, and, with a lump Si his throat, explains that it "is being used as the basis of hearings In tho Senate.” Hurrah —not an egg smashed! 'l But behold the “achievements” of the Harding Administration In the field of international affairs: The Yap position—Wilson’s without a change. The Mesopotamia controversy —Wilson’s without the dotting of an “i” or the crossing of a “L” The Mexican question —Wilson's watchful waiting. The Russian problems—Wilson’s solution and position Wo would hope here that the Senator would explain Just wny we are not “done with wiggle-wobble” still, but the Senator is clearly in a hurry —so many "achievements” to enumerate —and he must wiggle-wobble on* Perhaps the rolling reverberation of the Senator’s voice in speech might cover a multitude of the sins of omissions, not to say commission, but the stump speeches that sound convincing in the torchlight, when the air is filled with smoke, should never, never be submitted as serious contributions to the sum total of human knowledge to be reduced to cola, unfeeling type. We always felt that the Senator has a rich sense of humor. We know it now.—Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette. The World Must Wait Thoroughly embarrassed by the story of the New York World that he has accepted the job offered him by the moving picture people to ‘uplift and uphold morals and ethics” in the industry, Mr. Hays rather indignantly rushes into print with a vigorous denial. The offer has been made. It has not been accepted as charged, and no contract has been signed as said. The answer Is to be given with a formality and ceremony befitting the importance of the occasion on the 14th and in the meanwhile it is to be hoped that speculation will cease. It. only interferes with the making of the reel —this constant darting back and forth of the curious. And yet Mr. Hays has himself to blame largely. Making a great mystery out of anything sets the tongues to wagging. That is often advantageous. Two weeks of advertising is worth something, especially if Mr. Hays intends to enter the movie trade. But there is no way to govern the wagging tongues and here we have some of the ungrateful politicians taking him at his word and actually announcing the identity of his successor in the Cabinet. It is very evident that the Cabinet post and the post wjth the movie artists are considered incompatible, and Mr. Hays will be forced to make a choice. But patience—and, in the interval, silence. The momentous decision comes on the 14th and we shall enjoy it all the more by the waiting.—Ft. Wayne Journal-Gazette. y4s Others See It If Mayor Shank of Indianapolis would cut out his kiddishness and settle right down to business, he has an opportunity to make a record foLhimself and show the people who have opposed him that he has the ability to be at the head of one of the best cities in the country. However, he will not get very far in dealing with fads such as society women “cops” and “breath inspectors” for the police force, and all such nonsense. Indianapolis is rapidly going to the front as an industry center and there are many things of importance to which the f avor should gives the closest attention and he should be in constant touchlwith the business men of the city aid work in harmony with them.—Tiptcffi Times?

They replied la chorus: “We haven't.” . They sought together to explain. [ Viola was voluble In relating how tier early career had been devoted to weepy drama and Alice was telling how she got her start doing slap-stick comedy. “Have you forgotten the heart-tug of my ’Willow Tree?’” Miss Dana asked “Don't you know that my new picture, ’Ki“os,’ is comedy first and last Y” Mia Lake queried. Then together: “We like to play both comedy and tragedy.” ”We have to be able to do it.” Miss Dana added. “If you can’t make them laugii, you can't make them cry ” “ i he art of the matter Is to tread the tightrope that separates the ridiculous fruu the sublime.” Miss Lake contributed. "Eve seen comedians who were tragically dull; the t-ars they arnu-.il were tears of pity. Ive - '-a tragedians who would put u house Into gales of laughter." "The i*-nst little slip from the tightrope in eitiier direction means a fallen star," said Miss Dana. "You have to have a comedy sense so that your tragedy won't he funny and a sense of tragedy so that your comedy won't be tragic.” "And you’ve got to use thorn both frequently at tho same time, so that you lean produce the laugh with tl.c tear in it. and the tear that turns to laugher,” Miss Lake concluded. -!- ON VIEW TOIIIV.

SCHOOL BOARD ELECTS BARRY AS PRESIDENT Bert S. Gadd Casts Only Dissenting Vote Against New Official. FIRST CLASH OCCURS As had been expected the reorganization of the, board of school commission-, trs at the meeting last night, the first of the year, went off smoothly, all differences within the ranks of the majority faction of the board having been ironed out in conferences prior to the meeting. Charles L. Barry was elected president and Adolph Eruhardt, anew member, vice president. Albert Baker was unanimously elected attorney of the board to succeed Frederick E. Matson, who took the position last spring when Mr. Baker resigned after differences with members of the old board. President Barry announced he would name the standing committees at the next regular meeting, which will be held Jan. 31. Bert S. Gadd was the only member of the hoard to vote against Mr. Barry for the presidency, his vote being cast for V*. D. Allison. Mr. Barry himself cast a blank ballot. The vote for vice president stood: Emliardt, 3; Dr. Marie lin step, 1; Allison, 1, Mr. Gadd, again voting for Mr. Allison. GADD CHANGES HIS VOTE. 1 On the vote for attorney for the board Mr. Gadd at first voted for Mr. Mat.on, | lust changed his vote when he found that Mr. Bitker was to be a candidate. He explained several weeks ago Mr. Ma* son had told him fie did not want the position if Mr. Baker would accept it. Another action that had been expected was the election of George 11. Riekes, to succeed C. \V. Eurton as superintendent of buildings and grounds. Riekes was discharged by the hoard In July, 1!C0, and was succeeded by Eurton. Eurton’s resignation was presented at the meeting to take effect Jan. 15. but. on motion of Mr. Allison, who 1r very blfleagainst Eurton as the result of a thrashing administered to Jacob lTeltknm, janitor at Arsenal Technical High School, and generally regarded as a protege of Mr Allison, about ten days ago, the resignation was made effective immediately. That the entire matter was cut and dried was indicated by the fact immediately after Burton's resignation had been accepted Mr. Emhnrdt offered a lengthy and carefully worded motion “reinstating" Riekes, Jan. 11. POINT* TO GOOD RECORD OF EURTON. Mr Gadd called attention to the splendid record made by Eurton a* superiti ten dent of buildings and grounds and said because of his record he was entitled to some consideration at the hands of the board. imt Mr. Al’.ison was obdurate and the rest of the board stood by him. The vote on the Riekes appointment stood four to one. Mr Gadd voting no, Mr. Allison got himself in the erabar- ' raising position of voting for the etnpbiyment of a man whom only eighteen months ago tie had voted to oust from the satti" position. Ralph \V Douglass, business director, also presented his resignation to take effect Feb. 1, and the reslgnath n was ac : eepted. Tite matter of selecting a sue* ' cess r was passed over until another meting, either special or regular and no mention was made of his successor. TANARUS! •• first skirmish or the year o -curre.l tvhi'e the Riekes matter was under consideration, While the board, business waited. President Harry en'gagod In what proved to he the first of a number of highly mysterious, secretive, whispered conversations with Commissioners Allison and Emburdt. ASKS HARRY TO SPEAK lIIT. "You need not be afraid to speak out, Mr, Barry," Mr. Gadd said. 'I would if what i am saying was of as much Interest to you ns to Mr. Allison,' Mr. Msrry answered. "°h. I though this was a public meeting," nas the comeback of Mr. (Judd. No open hostilities developed during the evening, but enough transpired to -how What the line up of the board will be for the present at least. Os course it was understood that Dr. Haslep, Barry mil Emhardt would team together, but the attitude of CommlKsioner \!|!go n has been a matter of speculation. It was very plnlu with the majority faction, and fortunes with the majority faction, and the minority for the present, will consist solely of C'irmnlss;oner Gadd. , Dr. Ilaslep took no part in any of the numerous whispered conferences, but j Voted Steadily with the majority, and even went so far ns to second several , motions. The resignation of E. F. McCoy, head custodian at Arsenal Technical nigh | .School, was accepted. McCoy, Mr. Allison said, admitted to him he had so- ; Melted campaign funds from the JanKo.’s at Tech for the Better Schools I an tie, I which opposed the election of t te pres- : ent majority faction. Mr. Allison, however. gave McCoy a high recommendation and the general belief is he eventually will be given a place on the school forces j again. \.s II- IT A U LING RIDS OPENED.

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

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—. Memories of the city boy who was raised on a farm cluster around the blossoming orchard, the running brook with its swimming pool, and the sweet-smelling meadow of i the country. Now imagine another sort of New York (Tty boy wuose memories cling with deep affection to the lower east side, to the casual visitor a district of frightful congestion, human misery, illiteracy and fetid air. But not so to the boy who made his beginnings down there. •To him the lower east side is the dearest scene of his early struggle against adverse conditions and he is proud of bis babyhood in fire escape cradles and his boyhood spent In the narrow alleys, and up poorly lighted and fonl-suietling tenement stairs. Three thousand five hundred of those east side boys have formed themselves into the Grand Street Boys' Association, and they are going to build a million doiiar clubhouse, which will be planned In the very heart of the greater city, somewhere north of Forty-Second street and South of Fifty-Ninth street, between j Eighth and Park avenues. The reason the Grand Street Boys’ Assoriai ion has picked the district north of Forty-Second street for its million j dollar clubhouse is that the Grand [street boys have spread out all over toe ; city, and the lower east side is rather | °ff the main arteries of travel. Then 1 there Is another reason—the Grand street boys went to plant their east side . banner squarely in the midst of the -Teat city's club district right up (own there among the swells, close to where the smart people live, and show them all what really fine men do come out of ibe great east stile, men who hold their I heads high with the pride of it. * • * Famous men and women have come from the lower cast side—statesmen, jurists, bankers, brokers and persons distinguished in the arts and professions.

Washington Briefs

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Jan. It. —President Harding himself could/hardly have been a bigger drawing card in the Senate than the Newberry debate. Floor and galleries were Jammed. In the corridors long lines of people waited in vain for admission. Society, always- interested in high polities when the sensational or the spectacular is in prospect, usurped the front rows of the space set aside for wives or friends of Congressmen and other distinguished visitors. Senators themselves were present iu unwonted numbers. Senator Newberry's two grown sons, Barnes and Phelps, heard their father’s plea of defense. Another specially Interested auditor was Alfred Lucking of Detroit. Henry Ford’s attorney, and himself a former member of Congress. Preparedness has a now protagonist in tlie Senate in George Wharton Pepper, Washington friends and colleagues recall I he was one of General Wood's principal associates In launching the Plattsburg movement tji 1915. Senator Pepper proudly records tie was color sergeant in the N'o. 73. in Brlghfwood, which has Just been completed, will be put into service nt the beginning of the next semester, acI cording to E F. Graff, superintendent of schools. He explained this will relieve ; congestion at School No. 51, on Olney street, 'iCiir Roosevelt avenue, and will eliminate half sessions at this school. RESIGNATION* TO HE IN WRITING. Hereafter nil resignations in any department of the schools must Ye submitted In writing, ns the result of a motion offered by Mr. Allison. He explained nt the last meeting of the board C. W. Eurton, then superintendent of buildings and grounds, reported the resignation of William J. Everett, engineer at the Central Library, tut said Mr. Everett had reported he never had presented a I resignation. After the meeting Miss Elsa ftnebner, president of the Teachers' Association, congr.itulated Mr. Allison on putting through the resolution, and said it was one of the best actions taken by the j board. Work on plans for an addition nt School No. 27, Park avenue .and Seventeenth street, was ordered suspended. Rubush A Hunter had been ordered to prepare plans for this addition. which was, among other things, to accommodate the Normal School. HOARD DISCUSSES FATE OF NORMAL. This brought up a general discussion j of the Normal School and what to do with it. Among the tilings suggested were that it lie turned over to Butler College, and that it be housed at Shortridge High School In that far distant day when Sbortridge realizes her age old dream of anew plant at Thirty-Fourth! j and Pennsylvania streets. By special invitation of the new mem- j hers of the board Mrs. George C. Fin- j frovk, president of the Pa rent-Teacher j Association, and Miss Huebner were ; present. They were introduced by Presl- 1 dent Barry "long wltn Mrs. Adolph Emhardt, who ,vas given the title of “her ! husband's campaign manager.” and Miss i Alma Siekler. The visitors apparently were in full sympathy with the present majority faction of the board. Superintendent Graff reported the following resignations and appointments in the teaching staff. Resignations. Mae Elliott Ma. Dorothy Pray Keyser. Appointments, elementary, Martha O. Guilford, Pauline Banks, Marie Wilson, Adelia Bi’yr, Romona Pierson and Daily Cronk.

To become a member of the Grand Street Boys’ Association one must have been born on the lower east side, and be 35 years old or the son of i member. The dues are not heavy, for Max S. Levin, president, who is a city magistrate, wants a represeutation of all classes. "We have plenty of rich.” he said. “And so we can afford to keep our dues down to $lO for those who have not been as fortunate. The membership is indeed remarkable, being so widespread. William Fox, the moving picture magnate, is an active member, having started as a clothes presser in teh lower east side. Sam F. Harris, theatrical magnate, bt- ! gan as a laundry boy in Grand street. Reuben Sadowsky, the biggest cloak and suit manufacturer in the world, also began there, as did Supreme Court Justice Otto A.

GENOA SESSION OUTGROWTH OF ARMS MEETING

U. S. Withholds Decision, However, on Participation in ’1 Economic Parley. HARDING IS GRATIFIED Special to Indi *"" .saiiy Ttra** _ and Philadelphia I übtic L*-dcr. Ily FREDERIC WILLIAM MILK. WASHINGTON, Jan. IL—Canues and Washington have joined hands. Front the highest American quarter the intimation is forthcoming that the Genoa economic conference am be regarded as the direct outgrowth of the Washington armament conferee* Had none taken place and achieved eminent results, the other would not now be in prospect. It was sta.cd at the 'White House no confidence wi uld be violated iu thus making public the link forged between Ibe two. Information to that effect hat reached Washington from Cauncs, evidently through Ambassador Uurvey, our “observer” there. Events on the Pttomac during the past f wo months “demonstrated the desirability of confereuci#’ so impressively to statesmen now on the Riviera that they decided to Invoke a like recourse for discussion of the shattered ecohoinics of Europe. The Cabinet took no decisions yesterday ith regard to the Genoa conferem Three was, nevertheless, a stgnifl[(•:.,.t allusion to the probability that tba inclusion of soviet Russia, under the conditions laid doxvn at Cannes, will not de? bar American participation in the eco- , nomic conference. At the White House it is felt the Cannes resolutions defining a basis for soviet recognition constitute a complete vindication of the policy consistently maintained by tbs Cnited States toward the Bolshevist government of Russia. RUSSIA MUST ACKNOWLEDGE DEBTS. The resolutions, adopted by the supreme council Jan. 6 provide that Russia, in common with other European powers, must acknowledge the validity of her 'outstanding foreign obligations, restore : confiscated property, possess a suitable ■ monetary system, offer proper guarantees to trade, and abstain from all propaganda subversive of public order or political systems established In other counj tries. In one of his first pronouncements aa Secretary of State, Charles Evans Hughes declined relations with soTlet Russia because it was accomplishing the "progressive impoverishment" of that country, l’resident Harding feels the conditions imposed for soviet participation at the Genoa meeting are thus "in absolute ac- ,. ord with the foreign policy of the United States" toward the red government of Moscow. There was another indication of prospective American policy at Genoa, If ' America "sits in.” It already has been foreshadowed in these dispatches—namely. that ’.he United States considers the $10.000,0M0.000 allied debt owing this country a natter over which no conference can have an ylegitimate jurisdiction. HARDING ADMITS GRATIFICATION. President Harding is frankly gratified over the hallmark of sterling approval which, as he views it, the convening of ;the Genoa conference places on the meotjg ing drawing to a close in The President feels, too, that the Irish settlement is anew and bright link "in the chain of world understanding,” and considers It additional evidence of tho efficiency of conference on controversial ' issues. Occasion, therefore, was taken afresh at tiie W hite House to emphasize that the results o_’ the Washington conference outstrip immeasurably any 1 concrete results, however Important, achieved here.

The American delegate says it is the new "tendency" tbe conference haa Introduced in xvorld affairs that will count and endure. SENATE TO CONSIDER TREATIES. The President made known thnt immed'ately after the conference’s adjournnent there will be lubmltted to the Serate for consideration and ratification all the treates and agreements the conference adopts. They will be submitted en bloc and at the earliest possible moment. They will be four, perhaps five. In number.* They probably would include the four-power Pacific treaty, the five-power naval pact, the six-power Pacific cable agreement, the Yap cable pact with Japan, and the nine-power “continental" agreement regarding Asia. It ia In the last-named treaty, or declaration, presumably, the United States policy of "moral trusteeship” over Russia will be included. Secretary Hughes, contrary to pessimistic rumor, insists Siberia, always having been on the conference ageuda. will nor be Ignored, glossed over, or neglected.
