NEW CITY JOB TO BE CREATED BY ORDINANCE Assistant Chief of Fire Department Needed to Comply With Law. YEARLY SALARY $3,000 Creation of another assistant chieftainship of the fire department at a salary of $3,000 a year, reduction of the salary of the elecerieal engineer, head of the electrical department, from $3,000 to $2,500 a year and correction of an error by which it is believed the Jewett administration illegally paid six members of the fire department from March 31 to Dec. 31, 1021, is provided in an ordinance to be submitted to the city council for introduction tonight by the board of public safety. Suspension of the rules and immediate action upon the ordinance providing funds for Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank's plan to help solve the unemployment problem is expected to be asked of the council. The administration probably will have Introduced three other ordinances The Indianapolis Jitney Drivers’ Association also has announced it will offer for introduction a measure amending the jitney elimination ordinance so as to eliminate features they consider oppressive. William T. Bailey, assistant city attorney assigned as counsel for the board of safety, who prepared the amendments to the police and firemen's salary ordinance said the new assistant chief is to be created In compliance with the State law, passed in a special session of the Legislature in 1920 creating the two platoon system in the fire department. The law provides that there shall be a full complement of officers at the head of both the day and night platoons and that no fireman shall be compelled to be on duty longer than tweruy-four hours at a time, excepting in times of great emergency. Simon C. Hoyt, first assistant chief for the past four years, has been on duty both day and night since the two platoon system was installed. The board of safety intends that there shall be an assistant chief for both the day and night platoons, Mr. Bailey said. The new officer probably will be selected from the eight battalion chiefs. The battalion chief's salary is $2,400. Promotion to assistant chief will increase the pay of the man selected SOOO. This will be more than offset, Mr. Bailey pointed out, by the decrease of $l,lOO in the electrical engineer's salary. James Berry is the electrical engineer. The salary was fixed at $3,600 when E. N. Tompkins was brought here from California to head the department by the Jewett administration two years ago. City Controller Joseph L. Hogue discovered the supposedly illegal payment of the six firemen by the Jewett administration. An amendment to the police and firemen’s salary ordinance effective at the end of last March did not fix the par of the six firemen who operate the steamers, or even mention them, as the original ordinance did. However, their pay went right on at SI,BOO per year. To clear the Shank administration of any j question which State accountants mightask about this the salary amendment will include a paragraph fixing the engineer's salary at SI,BOO. The ordinance, to finance the unemployment schemes provides for the transfer of SIO,OOO each from the unimproved street and street cleaning maintenance funds to anew fund to be Uuown as the emergency unemployment fund. The $20,000 will be used to pay Indianapolis citizens in dire need of funds $2 per day or 25 cents an hour for work on unimproved streets durtr-g the present emergency. BILL WILL URGE BOM) ISSUE. One of the other bills to be introduced by the administration is that authorizing the sale of bonds to the extent of $200,000 for the purchase from heirs of Stoughton A. Fletcher of the vacant quarter block across Alabama street from the city ball as the site for a city hall annex to house police headquarters, city court and ! other departments now crowded either in the city hall or city court building at , Alabama and Pearl streets. It is planned to sell the old city court building for a ; sum sufficient to purchase the new site. j The third measure to be presented by the administration authorizes the-trans-! fer of the duty of improved street main- i tenance and the funds therefor from the ' street commissioner's department to the city civil engineering department. The fourth would create a boxing commission. JITNEY DRIVERS ASK RELIEF. The jitney drivers’ bill would eliminate the provisions of the jitney elimination ordinance prohibiting jitneys from receiving or discharging passengers upon streets where street car lines are located, reduce drivers’ bonds from SIO,OOO for cars of five or less passenger ca- I pacity and $20,000 for cars of six or more ‘ capacity to $5,000 and $8,000; make the bond applicable to taxi as well ns Jit-| ney drivers and provide that drivers re- j fused licenses because of physical dls- j ability may appeal to a committee of representatives chosen by the mayor, city ! controller and the applicant. Officials of the Brookslde Civic League have introduced an ordinance restricting j the building of factories in residence dis- j tricts. They have had the matter under consideration for some time a3 part of their effort to prevent the Victor B<>ar- * legs Company from building a now plant I now under construction at Massachusetts avenue and Steele street.

Wilson Foundation Movement^Launched NEW YORK, .Tan. IG—The effort to collect a million dollars to oreat a Woodrow Wilson foundation, which shall be a permanent memorial to America’s war President, was launched today throughout the United States.

The foundation will provide a fund for awards for distinguished public service. LENIN, TROTSKI ARE PRAISED BY GOODRICH Former Governor Says Russ Leaders Men of Honesty and Integrity. "The heads of the bolshevist government in Russia are men of honesty and integrity and the most maligned characters in modern history, James P. Goodrich, former Governor of Indiana, told members of the Columbia Club at a luncheon today. Mr. Goodrich recently returned from Russia, where he acted as a representative of Herbert Hoover, secretary of Commerce. The leaders of the Russian government have come to realize that them can be no Immediate transition to communism", Mr. Goodrich said, and have gone back to a capitalistic form of government. Mr. Goodrich described i nsome detail the conditions under the attempted communistic system. He said the peasants were expected to grow the crops and turn all they did not need for themselves over to the government. In exchange they were to receive food, clothing, transportation, the services of physicians and all other necessities free of charge. At the same time the workers, he said, were expected to labor in the factories in exchange so rtheir food and other necessities. There was to be no such thing as money. This would have worked. Mr. Goodrich said, ts there bad been any lnceitlve to production, lut as soon as the system was put into effect production was greatly reduced, bringing about its failure. Mr. Goodrich quoted Lenin and Trotsky at length on the recent change In the system of the Government, going back to the capitalistic Idea of barter and sale. He said they have come to a realization that communism can not be successful, at least at this time.

WORLD IS IN MUDDLE, BUT HOPE LIVES (Continued From Page One.) Os all the great powers. Great Britain is the only one that has seen things as they are and has stood ready to assume her share of the reorganization of a distracted world. The business men of Great Britain know there can be no trade revival until continental markets are improved. They know what our business men are beginning for the first time to sens-', and that is. that you cannot sell uni -ss there are those who are able to buy. in consequence, much pressure has been brought upon the prime minister to restore British markets throughout central Europe and Russia. In response to this pressure he not only has made a proposal to France which has touched the most vital of her problems, but he is arranging an economic conference at Genoa which is expected to bring Russia again into the concert of nations. PREMIER QUICK TO SEE DRIFT. Lloyd George Is not a far sighted statesman. Inasmuch as ho seldom formulates policies looking toward the alleviation of difficulties which He hidden in the future; but tlmre 1s none quicker to sense the drift of public opinion, or better prepared to meet and overcome obstacles after they have once arisen He let the Irish problem drift into civil war before be bent all his energies and great talents toward its solution. He has done pretty much the same thing regarding central Europe and Russia With a pending general election on Ills hands, and with widespread discontent regarding continental conditions, he is facing the situation with b's usual courage and imagination, and doubtless will succeed. In order to succeed in the fullest way, the cooperation of France must be bad: and btj Is seeking to obtain It by offering her guarantees against German aggression. The British public recently has cooled toward France, and a single proposal to guarantee her against Germany would not meet British opinion, but coupled with France's agreement to help bring composure and industrial revival throughout central Europe and Russia it probably will be approved heartily. It Is probable Briand resigned not so much because he feared the lack of a sustaining vote In the chamber as in anger at his treatment by It when In the midst of important and delicate negotiations with other governments. To criticise the executive of the government at ■such a time anil without knowing the facts by which he was being guided was ' an unusual and unwarranted proceeding His successor will assume n great re sponsibility, and an anxious world i should reserve itg opinion until it is learned how he purposes to meet it. — i Copyright, 1922, by Fubiic Ledger Com- j pany.

YOUTH, 18, ENDS HIS OWN LIFE Indiana Harbor Boy, 111, Despondent on Way to Hospital. Despondency, believed to be due to his physical condition, caused .Tames Domokos, 18, to shoot and kill himself today at the home of Guido Morresi, 3010 Kenwood avenue. The boy and his mother, Elizabeth Domokos, came here yesterday from Ini diana Harbor arid the youth was to bo sent to a hospital for treatment for epilepsy front which be suffered. He was lying in bed and his mother was standing by a dresser combing her hair when he fired a shot into his right temple from a .3.8 calibre revolver. Death was instantaneous. The mother, a little Hungarian woman, sat In a big rocking chair in the Kenwood avenue home and sobbed the tragi ■ story of her life. Sbe fame to th)s country with her husband, Joe Domokos and their son James, to make their ; home in Indiana Harbor, and were happy, she said. Joe longed for the old | home. He loved the United States, but I he wished to visit his old borne in Ilunzaria. He went back and hnil been there only two weeks when the World War started. He was unable to leave the ■ country and was called to the colors. In spite of his eight years’ residence In the United States, Domokos was forced to obey. Six weeks’ luter he was listed among “the fallen." Mrs Demokos could not recall the name of the battle. They had 1 ut the one child, .Tames, and he has afflicted with epilepsy. The mother spent money and tried in every way to have her son’s affii tlou cured. Finally, she planned that he should be taken to the Village for Epileptics near Newcastle, and they came to Indianapolis to obtain the necessary papers James was despondent. Not only because of 111* Illness, bnt also because ho probably would be separated from Ills ! mother. He had threatened suicide before. having asked for a repo, it Is said. ; But tho threat never was considered se--1 rioualy. Today he slipped from hls room Lto that of Mr. Morresi and took a revolver from under the pillow and then returned to his own room on the first floor, where he fired the shot. Mrs. Domokos said her son had, never suffered from epilepsy until about two years ago when he was struck by a train ■ and lujurcd.

LONDON, Jan. 18. —Anew association of nations, including Germany and Russia, rising out of the -economic conference at Genoa Is Lloyd George’s plan for rehabilitation of the old world. With hls plans for European reconstruction shaken by the uncompromising attitude of the new French government under Premier Poincare, Lloyd George returned to London and made preparn lions for fresh international action. He has three dominating ideas as to what must be done for Europe: The entente, he believes must be overhauled and Anglo-French differences straightened out. The association of the allies, the British premier feels, should form the nucl >us fa wider European settlement, similar to that reached :U Washington. The Genoa conference must be made a real medium for European economic reconstruction. It must be made to produce results which the dissension of no one nation can destroy. An association of nations, Including the late enemy state* and Russia, and, if possible, the United States, should be the outgrowth of the parley, Lloyd George believes. Lloyd George's Idea for a wider entente was said to be that the present alliance of Britain, France, Japan, Italy and Belgium will, If it remains ultraconclusive, preclude the possibility of Pun-European cooperation. If France will Join in the scheme for an association of nations Lloyd George is ready to proceed with the cooperation of other European nations to the re Juration of Russia and Germany. It Is ad mitted French noncooperatioa would have the same effect on the proposed association as was created when the United States declined to Join (he League of Nations.

It Is conceivable ttie conference will say: “What Is the use of making engagements now which ronnut he fulfilled in the present conditions of China:" The Chinese reply from Pekin on the Balfour Hughes compromise suggestion is understood to he an indication that the home government disapproves any yielding on principles This message is belle. oil to be at the rout of the Chinese pessimism over settlement of the Shantung issue, even though the Japanese evidently are prepared to make some alterations in their stand. .1 tl'S AN D ( 111 N LSE I ill, TO %GItEK.

Foreign delegates are frankly disgusted with the deavs In settling Shantung and with the dragging of the Far Eastern situation.

BOARD TOLD TO GIVE NO HEED TO RESIDENCE r Hogue to Await City Legal Department’s Word in Paying Employes. It makes no difference If the residence of their employes is Indianapolis or Oshkosh, the board of sanitary commissioners can go right on authorizing payment of their salaries, according to an opinion given the board today by Baker & Daniels, its attorneys. President Jay A. Craven referred the matter to the attorneys after City Controller Joseph L. Hogue hail announced he will withhold payment of salary to any city employe residing outside the city limits. Truly Nolen, superintendent of gas’iage and ash collection and disposal for the sanitary board at a salary of $3,100, is one of geveral city employes who do not reside in Indianapolis, Mr. Hogue said.
