GENOA PARLEY OF CONCERN TO EVERY NATION Conference Will Deal With Finance and Economics, INTEREST IS WIDE No Time for Timidity on Part of U. S., House Says. By COL. EDWARD M. HOUSE. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19. —The forthcoming Genoa conference is a promising venture and should receive encouragement. What Franco fails to give in the way of support should be made up by the United States. The Washington conference has had to do with policies, the Genoa conference •will deal with finance and economics, and the one Is as necessary as the other. Every American business man. every farmer and workingman and woman has an interest in its successful outcome. It Is the first time a conference has been proposed which will include all the peoples at interest. Heretofore a few victorious powers have met and undertaken to give direction to world affairs without consultations with other nations. This cannot be accomplished successfully after such a war as the one that has just swept the world. No nation truly can be . said to have won the war. All have lost, j even the neutrals, and it is merely a question of degree. Therefore in order to recoup it is essential fer all to help; and because of our power and position we should be the last to shirk such a call. OLD CRY HEARD. It has been said repeatedly that the United States should not sit in conference with Europe in an effort to disentangle its financial and industrial systerns and to help stimulate them until they again become normal. To do so, in the opinion of these objectors, would mean taking upon ourselves Dew obligations and involving ourselves affairs foreign to our own. Europeans, It is contended, would tie glad r> have us sit in with them in order that they might place upon us a part of the load they are now carrying. That is a familiar cry. We heard It when Wilson came home from Paris. Lloyd George and Orlando heard it when they returned to London and Lome after the peace conference, and Clemenceau is still hear(Continued ou Fage Two.)

Hodgius, chairman of (tie Indianapolis board of health, and Dr. liichard A. Poole, superintendent of the city hospital. Many recommendations for temporary repairs until the order of the marshal empires also were made in the order of condemning the building. The action taken by the fire marshal is in direct line with the plans cf Mayor Shank, who recommended that the city council authorize the issue of $200,090 worth of bonds for the construction of anew section. The letter was addressed to Mayor Shank, tlie city board of health, the superintendent of the city hospital, the city of Indianapolis, and the superintendent of the training school for nurse-.

Cites Previous Decision of High Court to Show Conviction Erroneous

That his sustained conviction for contempt would in reality be the punishment of an Innocent man for the act of another in commenting on a Criminal Court cause after it had been wiped from the docket of the Criminal Court la one contention of James L. Ivilgallen, former managing editor of the Times, in h's petition to the Supreme Court of Indiana for a rehearing of his appeal. The liberty of the press as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United -btates has heretofore always been construed to grant to newspapers the privilege of truthful and unrestricted criticism of the acts of any court when the cause concerning which criticism is made has been finally adjudicated and there is no longer any possibility of the criticism Interfering with the “due administration of justice.” This right of the press to criticise the judiciary has never heretofore been curtail'd and the Supreme Court of Indiana itself has held, in the ease of Zuver vs. State, that a judgment for indirect contempt was erroneous where the alleged contempt consisted of criticism directed to a ease that was no longer pending before the court. But regardless of the well-known and established rule cf the law as heretofore

NAVAL RATIO OMITTED IN FINAL DRAFT Arms Delegates Respect Feelings of Japs. TONNAGE IS FIXED Treaty Proper Is Divided Into Three Chapters. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—-Refer-ence to the 5-5-3-1.75-1.75 capital ship ratio ha.3 been omitted in the final ! draft of the naval treaty, it was learned today. Omission of the actual ratio was due to Japanese sensitiveness, the Japanese holding this would tend to give an air of inferiority to their nation. ■ The ratio, however, is indirectly provided for by specific figures on total tonnage. The treaty, according to its preamble, is based upon a desire t"r “maintenance of general pence” and for reduction of armament competition. The preamble says: "The United States o? Amreca, the British Empire, France, Italy, Japan, de siring to contribute to the maintenance of the general peace and t<> reduce the burden of competition in armaments; “Have resolved, with a view to accomplishing these purposes, to conclude a treaty to limit their respeetiv; naval armaments and, to thai end. have appointed as their plenipotentiaries who, having communicated to each their respective lull powers, found to be lr. good and due form, have agreed as fellows:" The:-, follows the treaty proper, divided into three chapters. The first contains wenty articles. The second Is divided into four parts, capital i-hips to be re tuined. rules fur scrapping, replacement and definitions.

WILLIE CAREY IS LIKE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR Storms Mag Rage Around Him, but They Do No Damage. Things vvere happening in clusters at the home of Willie Carey, 152 Blackford street, late yesterday. Willie is the same Carey who so frequently Is arrested, bui who so heldora I3 sentenced. First, the police were called to tho Carey home, where they discovered Mary, the wife of Willie, had swallowed n large quantity of liniment, apparently with suicidal intent. She was taken to the city hospital. A little while later them xvaa another call from 152 Blackford street. This time I lie police say they found a free-for-all fight going around and around a st ve, which had been upset in the melee. The fight, apparently had subsided long enough to permit the throwing of several buckets of water on the stove to keep the house from being set on fire. Asa result of the little quarrel, from which the participants emerged with n goodly collection of black eyes, Joe Ford, 20, 743 West New York street, was arrested for assault and battery and drunkenness; Sudie Stanliou, 31, 350 West Michigan 6 trot, was a rested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, and Viola Krcs, 28. 150 Blackford street, was arrested for vagrancy; WUlie was present all the time, but he 1 wasn't arrested.

I recognized by the Supremo Court of In* (liana, the conviction (if Mr. Kilgallen In the Criminal Court was based on the publication of an article pertaining solely to a cause that had been dismissed and the Supreme Court ignored this admitted fact when it sustained the verI diet of the Criminal Court. ; The Criminal Court judgment was that ; Mr. Kilgallen did “wilfully, knowingly, and corruptly publish, circulate, disseminate ami cause to be printed, published, circulated and disseminated the following false, corrupt ntnl libelous article and statement * * with tho corrupt and wicked purpose and Intent of erni barrassing the administration of Justice ;in the case of tho State of Indiana vs. ; the said Harry Parsons which was then and there pending in tho Marion Criminal j Court." The alleged contemptuous article was as follow's: ["To the Indianapolis Par Association: “Charles IV.

TWO PUMPING PLANTSNEED OF SEWAGE SYSTEM Question Raised Over Expense of Installing and Operating. Attorneys for the board of sanitary commissioners today were asked for an opinion upon whether tho sanitary board | or the board of public works must bear . the fitian ill burden of Installing and ; operating two pumping stations deemed j ticec-diry in the development of the sew- : age disposal system. | Charles H. Hurd, consulting engineer | for the board, brought the matter tip in a letter stating that In consul*.-.rions j with 0. W. Brown, sewer engineer in the city civil engineering department, It had been agreed that one such pumping j station would be necessary In connect | ing the new system of sanitary sewers ! in the extreme north part of the city arid | part of Broad Ripple, with the terminus j "f the pr. sent city system at Fifty-Sixth | street and Washington boulevard, i A ridge runs across the northern part of the city In a northeasterly direction ; from Falrvlcvv park to a point about equal with Fifty-Fifth street and the Monon Railroad, will require a lift of thirty-nine feet, for which the pumping station would serve. Mr. Hurd in his letter pointed out that another pumping station that will have to be Installed In the district north of ! Tenth street between Fail Creek and White River. The fall Is not sufficient to permit a natural flow of the sewage into the rl'.f. Eventually the sewage will be directed Into lines leading to the sewage disposal plant. W. D. Allison, member of the board of school commissioners, asked tho board to take over the job of hauling ashes from the public schools The board advised -Mr. Allison that its funds will not permit the ash collection department to undertake any more work than it now is handling. *Night ’Rider* Squad to Get Ex-Mayor’S Famous Cole Car The Cole automobile used by Charles V.

JITNEY STUNT, FIT FOR MOVIES , RIGHT AT HOME Thrilling Chase by Police Worth Featuring on Silver Screen. Two passengers In a Jitney bus participated in a real thriller today. The passengers boarded the bus at Palmer and Meridian streets and started downtown. Another diver containing three policemen started In pursuit. The jitney driver “stepped on her.” Bo did the driver of tho police car. As fast as ho could make his automobile go the Ji’.ney driver skidded Into the first alley north of Palmer street, turned into Union street, then into Madison avenue, then into Delaware street and then west In Maryland street. The police flivver skidded around the same turns and roared along behind. Just before they reached Pennsylvania and Maryland streets the police automobile got behind a big truck and had to slow down. This gave the Jitney driver time to slow down at Pennsylvania street and permit one of the passengers to alight. He then drove on to Illinois street, where he got in the traffic and was forced to stop. When the police caught up with him they arr-s r ‘ <l him for vitiating the jit uey bus at Jiiih.tit*.

Scruggs is said by the police to be an ex-convlct who has served time i* Michigan for robbery. Acordlng to the story told by Ingram, Scruggs approached him several times about the robDery, telling him It was “easy money.” “At first I wouldn't listen to him,” Ingram Is said to have told Chief Northrup. “I was afraid. But he kept talking and 1 finally I agreed to go into it. We were to split on a fifty-fifty basis.” Chief Northrup believes the confession will clear up a number of mail pouch robberies in the Central West. Ingram said he pulled the truck down the platform about a hundred feet from the station and left R. Scruggs, he said, was hiding behind a box car. “When I got back,” Ingram said, “the pouch was missing. “I didn't get a chance to see Scruggs and I don't know what became of the contents of the pouch or how much was in it.” Efforts are being made by postal Inspectors from Cincinnati and Chicago to trace any bond shipments that may have been included in the loot obtained. Until these inspectors complete their work the exact amount taken will not be learned. That the robber had knowledge of the value of bonds is Indicated by the fact that those returned were non-negotiable. They were bonds of a South American Government with a face value of approximately SIOO,OOO. Ingram had stoutly maintained lnuocence. He contended he left the stolen pouch, with eight others, on a truck while he returned to the station for another pacage §nd that when he came back pouch wa* missing. lie declared he saw no one approach or ieave the truck. STATE IN HARD BATTLE TO WIN ARBUCKLE CASE Defense Scores When Show Girl Fails to Join Star With Rappe Statement. BAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 19—Faring a hnrder uph'.ll fight to convict Roscoe (Fatryl Arbuckle of manslaughter In connection with the death of Virginia Rappe than at any time previously, the prosecution tightened its lines and mustered Its last ounce of force today when some of its most Important witnesses were scheduled to take the stand. Alice Rlake, show glri, took the stand Wednesday and, although she was as the State's most Important witness, her testimony proved to be somewhat of a boomerang. “I don't remember,” was the answer she gave frequently to questions which varied slightly from those asked at the first trial. ARBUCKLE DEFENSE SCORES POINT. Gavin McNab succeeded in bringing out the significant fact that ;>.t the time Miss Blake testified she heard Miss Kappe say “I am dying. I am dying, he hurt me,” she didn't know whether or not Arbuckle was In the bedroom. The defense made much of the point. McNab also brought out the fact, as nt the previous trial, that Miss Blase and Zcy Provost, her companion, had been In the custody of the district attorney's office at the home of Mrs. Duffy, the mother of one of Brady’s attaches, for two and one-half months. "Impounded” and "Incarcerated” wen* the terms which McNab always used in this connection. “When did you escape?” asked McNab. Laughter swept the courtroom and Judge Louderbaek sharply ordered tho bailiff to restore order. BAILIFF IS TRIFLE HUFFY. “Well, what can you do when the lawyers furnish the comedy?” replied the baiilff In disgust. “You were never til treated while yon were at the Duffy’s?” asked Friedman suavely. “I would rather not answer that question,” replied Miss Blake. Fried in an dropped that line of questioning like a hot poker, but MeXab immediately took It up and asked an. explanation. “It would embarrass me to reply,” said Miss Blake. McNab seemed satisfied and desisted, but several jurors looked significantly at each other. itiss Blake was dismissed immediately by the prosecution, who then called several medical witnesses to prove Miss Rappe was in the best of health.
