PARLEY MAY END MONDAY, BELIEF NOW Final Plenary Session Will Be Held Saturday. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The final plenary session of the Washington conference is planned for Saturday. Following that on Monday with solemn ceremony at the State Department, the conference delegates will attach their signatures to the various treaties arising from the parley—treaties to bring peace in the Far East and to lay the ground work for general world peace. Further evidence that the conference Is almost at an end was seen in the announcement that the major part of the British delegation, headed by A. J. Balfour, will sail for home on the liner AquitanUtt, leaving New York Tuesday, Feb. 7. -- It is probable members of the French and Italian delegations will leave about the same date. Secretary of State IJughes and the other conference leaders are determined fro end the conference by the last of this week or the first of next if it is humanly possible to do so. Another plenary . session of the conference to "clean up" Is lit' prospect for Monday or Tuesday. Material progress ,was reported on the two Far Eastern treaties which are to consolidate the work of the conference ne erecting Chinese questions. One of thqpe will deal solely with China's tariff increase, according to present plans: th other will incorporate all of the other decisions of the powers restoring Chinese sovereignty. Three major questions occupied the attention of the delegates when committee meetings were resumed all along the line: ‘ 1. The Chinese Eastern Railway. 2. The matter of selling arms to China. % 3>The much-discussed twenty-one demands. Only minor differences are holding up the agreement respecting the Chinese Eastern Railway. International control will be continued until Russia is in a position to reassert her dual control with China. RATE INCREASE ORDER CAUSES FLOOD OF CALLS (Continued From Page Ope.) and local extensive users of electric power will be parties to the petition. Mr. Grou'nger also announced he would have an ordinance appropriating $5,000 for the use of the legal department throughout this year in hiring counsel, experts, engineers and accountants for such services as may be needed In public, utility cases, presented to the city council Monday evening. BELL OFFERS CONGRATULATIONS. Former Mayor Joseph E. Bell called on Mayor Shank at the city hall and offered his congratulations "for the nerve you have .displayed fn fighting the utilities.’’ Mr. BelJ said he hoped the mayor's fight for tlie abolition of the public service commission will be successful and added: “This country is being commissioned and bureaued to death.’’ It is understood that there will be discussion at the Enterprise Civic League meeting of conversations between Governor Wnrren T. McCray and a committee from the league in the past few days. Mr. Fullfn said the committee was promised last week that there would be no more utility rate increased during the McCray administration and that in the face of this increases were granted to the telephone company yesterday. Mayor Shank wrote a letter of congratulation to the Rev. F. E. Davidsqn, pastor of the Englewood Christian Church because the church cancelled a speaking engagement of Governor McCray on account of the recent actions of the State government relative to utility matters.' “Os all the -things ever done or said by a minister that have come to my knowledge, your act and that of your congregation in cancelling the engagement of the Governor wil Igo farther toward stopping the vicious practice of the public service commission of Indiana from continuously raising utility rates than anything I know,” wrote the mayor. He told the minister he has the support of the city administration and 05 per cent of the populace, and expressed the wish every minister in Indiana would take a like stand. “You. and Father Weber, (Rev. Joseph F. Weber of West Indianapolis who has taken a leading part in the activities of the Enterprise Civic League) deserve the good wishes of every man and woman in Indianapolis,” he declared.

PROPOSAL OF FORD HANDED TO CONGRESS i (Continued From Page One.) the established policy of the Federal Government as set out in the water power act.” It would be unwise for the Government to enter into a longer contract, Weeks told Congress, because of the unknown possibilities surrounding water power development and the probability of changes which may be made, especially in <he transmission of power. Insistence is made by Weeks that if Ford takes over the project, he should be bound by obligations which confront the lessor of any property. Even if the Government decides to accept the offer of the Detroit manufacturer, Ford may face legal proceedings over conflicting contractural obligations from the air nitrates corporation, tie Alabama “ Power Company and the American Cynaraid Company, Secretary Weeks intimated. This is borne out by MaJ. C. C. Williams, chief of ordnance, whope analysis of the Ford offer also was transmitted to Congress along with Secretary Weeks' views. Concluding his report to Congress, Secretary Weeks declared that the Government in acquiring the lands and flowage rights necessary for dam No. 3, shotlld be included in the sum upon which Ford must pay 4 per cent interest and suggested that if the proposed development company 'should sell any power developed at dams No. 2 and No. 3 fF*sJbould be required to do so undfr terms imposed by the Federal power commission or the public service commission of Alabama. COMPLETION OF WILSON DAM If Ford's proposal is rejected. Secretary Weeks recommended that the Government complete construction of dam No. 2, known as the ‘‘Wilson dam." While pointing out that the cost estimates for construction of the project given by Army engineers and by engineers employed by Mr. Ford, vary to a large extent, MaJ. Gen. Lansing H. Beach, chief of engineers, declared in a report submitted to Secretary Weeks aud transmitted by him to Congress, that the United States would benefit greatly from the Ford offer. , . adklßal

Travelers in ~ California Are Lost in Snow! SAN BERNARDINO, Calif,, Feb. 2. — Relief parties today dug through the snow in an effort to rescue twenty persons believed snow bound in the Cajon Bass and Hesperia regions. Trail breakers on skiis were followed by food-laden sleds. r Every motorist who was snow bound on the ridge route between Los Angeles to Bnkersfleld has been rescued. Snow is melting rapidly, thus siding relief parties. MINERS’ WAGE BODY CAUSED TO MEET FEB. 8 (Continued From Rage One.) the wage contract expires March 31. A majority of the operators have declared for lower wages; the miners say they won’t accept reductions. Government officials fear a strike and Mr. Lewis' pr< posal opens up new posslb.lilies if an agreement is not reached in the coal industry SAYS SOLE PURPOSE TO PPOTECT MEN. Mr.- Lewis dented hy seeking to “absorb and dominate’’ tiie* federation in an interview today. "My sole purj.>ose is to protect the men employed in these two great basic industries,” Mr. Lewis said. “The railroad men have been compelled to yield some ground. ! “The same interests now are trying to push the miners backward. The pooling of the collective strength of the railroad men and the miners will constitute an wall against which the interests who advocate further wage reductions will fruitlessly boat.” ‘DEFENSIVE ALLIANCE’ MEETS WITH FAVOR CHICAGO. Feb. 2.—Formation of miners and railroaders Into a “defensive alliance” drew nearer here today. Officials of the sixteen standard unions, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor were consulted by D. W. Helt, president of the Brotherhood of Railway Signalmen. Helt was one of the first to come out in favor of a conference between rafi workers and miners as suggested by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America. BELIEVES UNIONS WILL JOIN IN PROPOSAL. Lewis, in a statement made at Indianapolis asked that the mil unions miners “unreservedly” pool their interests to fight wage cuts of carriers and mine operators. Helt said Lewis had sent out a “feeler” to railroad unions before he issued his formal statement and that It was certain, in his mind, that executives of the sixteen unions and the mine officials would get together. Bert M. Jewell, president of the organization composed of sixteen unions, had no comment to make. He stated he was studying Lewis’ proposal. The position of the five railroad brotherhoods. In regard to the conference and ultimate alliance with the miners could not be ascertained. Many In railroad circles here believed the "big five” would not participate To back up this belief. It was pointed out that the standard unions refused to -join the brotherhoods in the last threatened railroad strike because the latter would not promise to stay out until all had won their battle. Helt stated he expected a formal conference to be held in Chicago within ten days. BROTHERHOODS DOUBT WISDOM OF FROFOSAL CLEVELAND, Feb. S.-LSentiment in railroad circles today was against the proposed joint session wtth inina unions to discuss plans for figfiting wage reductions by carriers and operators That was the opinion of brotherhood chiefs in statements “I have not received an invitation and know nothing of this meeting predicted by John Lewis, president of the Mine Workers,” declared Warren S. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. W. G. Lee of the Trainmen Brotherhood also dfrnied bis organization had been invited by the miners* to attend a Joint conclave. Another labor leader, an official of the Locomotive Engineers, who did not wish his name divulged, declared “the brotherhoods do not want war and we cap see no reason why we should Join the miners’ fight. The brotherhoods have enough on their hands now without helping the battle of others." WASHINGTON BELIEVES BIG TIE-UP LOOMS WASHINGTON, Feb. 2,-r-Beiief that the Nation is facing the greatest industrial tie-up in Its history within tft'o, six months was privately expressed today In high Administration quarters. Efforts at a coalition between the railroad workers and the coal miners, for the avowed purpose of resisting proposed wage cuts, caused distinct uneasiness. If the union between these two “key” industries is effected—and the belief was expressed generally today that It will be—lt will add materially to the Increasing menace of the general labor situation, which now points to a widespread strike soon after April 1, when the miners’ national wage agreements expire. Joint strike action by the railroad workers and the miners would result very shortly in almost complete industrial paralysis, it was admitted. Reserve coal stocks are small even now, and there is no hope of greatly Increasing them before the strike, predicted by Secretary of Commerce Hoover for April 1, is called. GREATEST APPREHENSION SINCE 1919 TROUBLE. Not since the great strike of bituminous miners in the winter of 1919. when a general tie-up was averted by an injunction issued in the Federal Court at Indianapolis, has there been such apprehension In official circles as that which prevails in the wake of the announced Intention of the United Mine Workers to combine their forces with those ofe the railroad unions. The situation may be made more difficult. It was pointed out, if the railroaders and the miners, in coordinating their forces, should undertake to include the now Unorganized stee! workers, thereby forming a “triple alliance” with tremendous strength. The railroad lahnr board and other Government agencies, including the Department of Labor and the Department of Justice wllfr seek to do what they can to forestall a general transportation tie-up,' but there is no c entral body, such'as the labor board, with similar control over the mining industry. - , There were suggestions in senatorial circles that Congress, in view of the present situation with all its menacing possibilities. may be urged ‘o take immediate action on legislation recommended by Senator Kenyon (Iowa) to create a tripartite Federal board to adjust difficulties between mine operators and their employes. 10 Houses Burned KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 2.—Ten houses were destroyed by fire today with an estimated loss of $75,000. A high wind combated efforts of the firemen to check the spread of the Saines.

MANY *TO GIVE AID Greater effort than ever before will be put forth this year fAr the prevention of fires in Indianapolis, Frank C. Jordan, chairman of tlie fire prevention campaign commit!ee, announced today. Mr. Jordan made public a detailed propram of activities and the panics of committees which will have charge of the work. The city council will be asked at its meeting Monday night do appropriate $5,000 to carry on the work. Every citizen of Indianapolis will be asked to cooperate and committees Composed of a largi number of citizens and manufacturing concerns will be appointed and asked to help in the work, by setting an exampie and otherwise. FIRE PREVENTION PLANS ANNOUNCED. „ in announcing fire prevention plans, Mr. Jordan made public the program signed by himself, J. J. O’Brien of the lire department, and J. E. Riedel, chiid' of fire prevention : “L A dial or theromeler showing this year’s fires for thirty-day periods as compared with the corresponding periods of 1021, this dial or thermometer to be located at the corner of Kentucky avenue and Washington street. Our plans contemplate scmie spectacular feature of this nature *proxlmately every other month. “ “2. The success of the fire prevention movement depends upon our ability to interest people froii<\ cry se-. Don ot the eilv. It inis been suggested therefore that it would be advisable to wim letters to approximately one-half of the resident property owners of the city, appointing them to membership on the Fire Prevention Committee, and to also enlist nil or the stores, factories, warehouses and industries of ell kinds in the fire prevention movement. ■ "It is very evident that the cooperation of these people -would he of tremendous value, and aft**- a careful investigation we find that 9.5(H) letters would reach approximately one-half of the resident property owners of tlie city, and that 3,000 letters would reach the more important stores, factories and industries, , “If this plan is carried out it would mean the organization of a city wide ore prevention committee with a membership of at least 8,000. “3. The success of the 1921 campaign was due in no small measure to the tine cooperation which we received from the grfetolti Our ’.lnns contemplate the distribution of additional literature through the schools the giving of prizes to Ilia pupils writing the host essays on nro preveution, and the carrying forward or anv other measure that would Impress 'upon the school children the importance ot fire prevention. “4. The preparation of stereuptb an slides showing some of our worst fire hazards, some of our ugly back yards and unsightly properties, together with slid s showing some of Indianapolis beauty spots, well kept yards, parks, etc . fhpsp slides to In* used In conncctloa with addresses to be given in the schools and before city organizations., such ns the women’s clubs, Rotary. Kiwanis. Optimists' clubs, and kindred organizations. , “The organization of fire prevention Aommitb •in each if the wards, to carry on fire prevention work and to stimulate rivalry in milking their ward the cleanest and best in ihe city. ”fl. The appointment of special committees to give careful attention to such matters as a city-wide clean up campaign, the preparation of laws and ordinance* covering fire prevention measures, the carrying forward of a systematic campaign of inspection, etc.” * “if n fire pr volition campaign Is car rl -d on in the city of Indianapolis such as has been outlined in this program, it will in all probability be the biggest campaign of this kind carried on anywhere in the t titled Staetd. and it is our opln Ton that the city of Indianapolis will profit largely by a campaign, not only from the standpoint of a money saving, t>ut from the standpoint of Na-tion-wide publicity.” I lie following committees were named : M\XY NAMED ON COMMITTEES.

Moslman. v MAKES CHARGE OF FRAUD TO SCHOOL BOARD (Continued Page One.) ranged plan to get rid o£ tha employes of tho old boartL-'' “You speak of ‘greased skids,' Mr. Gadd,” Rihkcs broke in angrily, “yougreased the skids for me, you know.” “I certainly did —and it well, too,” Mr. Gadd answered, laughingly. At the very start the lineup became evident. It is apparent that Mr. Barry and Mr. Emhardt, backed by Pr Marie Haslep,* who has followed Mr. EiuHardt's lead closely at all school board meetings to date, were strongly inclined to Mr. Riches in nil his actions. Mr. Gadd is hostile to him and friendly to the discharged men, and \V. D. Allison is skeptical’concerning the removals* of so many men ami Inclined to side with them. The board will hold a special session Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at whic h time decisions in a i cases will be given out. The general opinion Is the board will uphold Mr. Rickes .although the Sensational charges made by Mr. Bnk<*.apparently have mixed some ashes with the grease on tiie “skills,” referred to byMr. Gadd. An attempt to'have **n. h case heard with no one in the room 1 at the members of the board, the particular discharged employe whose case was being heard and the press, was mode by President Barry, Dot ir brought forth such strenuous objecti >ns from Commissioners Gadd ami Allison, the majority members did m*t press the point. GADD DEMANDS OPEN ME..RING, “I thought thtt meeting was to be open to all citizens of Indianapolis,” Mr. Gadd Fiiiil. President Harry giiffircfttM th* themselves might not like to remain Tn this he was wrong, for they all said they did want to remain in the room and Mr.. Gadd said. "I don't think the*e men have s single- Mii'.g to bl I ' In addition to tlie case of Mr, Baker, the following former employes were heard: B. U. Glsler. engineer at the Central Library: Roy Harmon, truck driver: Charles 11. Ilnrtlcy, mrpter fnmnmn: 11. F Hobart, truck drlv-ti. < >ra Itlcbwine, pa liter foreman, and W. J. Fverlit formerly -eg near at the Central Library All. except Mr. Everlft. were discharged by 'lr. Riches shortly aft t ho became superintendent of bull Una's nml grounds. Mi* Krerttt was ■*.-< nilsscfl before tfr Rickes was appointed. In no Instance had Mr Rickes given the discharged men any reasons for his action. It was said nl he seemed loath t„ ,3n HO at the meeting However, both Mr. Gadd and Mr AUlson were Insistent. Against some he charged political activity. while against others he employed such phrases as “for reorganization purposes,’ “for the good of the service" and others of like character. In the case of R H. Glsler. chief engineer nt the Central Library, o deter mined attempt was made by Mr. Barry and Mr Erohnrdt to show there had been a number of wild parties at nights at the library, participated In by envloyi-z of the building in whiell wine, women and song had figured to a scandalous degree, mixed In with dancing Despite the most searching cross-examination conducted by s[r Emhardt. who questioned Mr. Glsler much ns ilwn a prosecuting attorney cross-question a defendant, the midnight orgies turned duf to be tame affairs. The women all were employes of the night force at the library, the song was nothing more hllnrous than “canned music" from n talking machine, and the strongest refreshment on any occasion hed been watermelon. The parties lasted one hour, were over at 10 o'clock, according to testimony, and wore conducted on the cooper ativ ve plan, every employe, men and women alike, '‘chipping In” for a/ proportionate shares of the expense •

| Mr Glsler said the staff force at the ' library held leas occasionally, and he didn't see why his force should be denied the right of a parly occasionally. C. E Rush, city librarian, Said while he did not recall knowledge of the parties or had given his consent to them, other members of his forces had known of them. He said lie never had heard any complaint about them, anil said ] that if there had been anything wrong ! tie certainly would have heard of it I BLAMES TROUBLES | ON Mlt. EVEKITT. | Mr. Glsler blamed all his troubles on Mr. Everitt, whose discharge he said he had recommended Dec. 19. He Raid Mr. Everitt bad begged bint not to prefer charges but to permit him to resign. It was then reported to the board at the last meeting In December that Everitt had resigned. This Everitt now denies and Insists that he be put back to work. His case was heard with the others to- | 'lay. ! Mr Allison was not satisfied with Mr. Rickes’ explanation that he had discharged Glsler because he and Everitt could not get along, nnd wanted to know bow it came about that Mr. Rickes was interesting himself in tlie troubles of Glsler and Balter, which had ended before Rickes came on the board Rickes was unable to make- any explanation other than the repetition of hts wellworn phrases about “reorganization,” “Harmony” amN “for the betterment of the service.” Some of the men were accused of political activity on behalf of the enmtidates |of the Better School League, who were ; defeated by the majority faction of the ; present board at the last election. Denial of all these charges were entered by the discharged men. CABLE MUDDLE NEARLY ENDED WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Amicable adjustment of the cable difficulties which the Government has had with the Western Union and other companies over landing privileges, will be effected within a week, it was announced today at the State Department. The Western Union will be permitted to land the Brnxil-Bnrbados cable at Miami, Fla., to prevent, w-hich a naval | vessel once was sent to Miami by the Wilson administration. "Under Secretary of State Fletcher will hold a conference next week wßth representatives of the Western Union and aHI America companies, at which all the diffij cultieS are expected to be Ironed out. MEXIOAN ADMITS KILLING. JOLIET, 111., Feb. 2.—Louis Esponslaze, a Mexican, was captured here today and confessed to the murder of Corales Morales, a fellow couniryman. The prisoner said he killed Morales in an attempt to protect the life of Mrs. Morales.

BALLOTING ON NEW POPE IS BEGUN AT ROME Cardinals Enter Sealed Vatican to Choose Papal j • Successor.. EIGHT ARE ABSENT = ROME, Feb. 2.—The most important papal election in more thtm half a century began today when the conclave of fifty-two Cardinals assembled In secret In the Vatican to bailot upon a successor to Benedict XV, late Sovereign Pontiff of ; the Church of Rome. Upon the -tUßCotne of the election wHll depend whether a reconciliation is to be, effected between the Vatican and the Italian state. It. is expected the first ballot wiil not be taken until Friday morning. Eight Cardinals were, absent. Cardinal O'Connell of Boston and Cardinal Dougherty of Philadelphia are en route to Rome, but may urrive before ihe ballot |is completed. The regulations permit the S breaking of the seals oil the doors of the I Slstine Chapel to admit tardy Cardinals !at any time. Even if they do not arrive I in time to participate in the e'ect’on they j will have a part in the coronation c-jre-inontes. ! The absence of a Cardinal does not j prevent him from being elected Pope, i The next Supreme Pontiff will be the j two hundred and sixty first to occupy | the holy chair of St.' Peter. ; A two-thirds majority is necessary to elect. ■SOLEMN MASS OPENS CEREMONIES. The ceremonies of the day began at 9:30 o'clock with a solemn hljli mass, celebrated by Cardinal VanpututH. head f the sacred college in Paulina'Chapel. Monslgnor Onlll read the traditional j L<-tin address Pro ElTgendo Pontefice — j exhorting the electors to discard person- ! aHtlcs and seek Inspiration from God. ! Ail of the Cardinals had to take the i ancient oath of secrecy, binding tht-irt | to silence upon all that occurs within j the scaled chapel Also they are bound ! by solemn ecclesiastical oath to do notb- | ing to hinder an election. | The faction)’’ feeling tn the sacred colj lege made it certain that the election j would be a difficult , one and Indicated i the balloting would be long drawn out. Predictions were freely made either a ! compromise eaddldaie dr a “dark horse,” some comparatively obscure cardinal—would be chosen. | The high political feeling was engendered by the following circumstances: WOULD CARRY OUT BENEDICT S POLICY. After th death of Benedict XV. Cardinal Gasparri. Papal Secretary of State, made it known ho would attempt to have the !a>e Pontiffs po icy carried out by his , successor. The chief s!;n of this policy was reconciliation between--the Vatican and th" Qulrtr.al, Supporters of Cardinal Gasparri claimed twenty-nine votes. The opposition fiction, which opposed reconciliation on the ground It wo ald im- ' pair the international of the church, was led by Cardinal Merry ’del Val, Catnberlengo of the Holy Roman Church; Secretary of the Congregation of j the Holy office and Arch Priest of the Basilica of rhe Vatican. Adhsrents of Cardinal M rry del Vul claimed to have twenty voti -, as red. I Tho program for tlie afternoon called for the a.'S'-mbllng of sis- violet-robed . cardinals it) the Paojjnn chaped nt 3:3d o'clo-k After short Individual prayers, the procession, preceded by cross bearers and a choir chanting "Vent Creator," en tered the sisilne chape! where the poll - ! Ing will take plai-e. The Vatican hue been seeled, al though communication may be had with the office of tlit* Papal Secretary of State. The cardinals will be shut off from the otitstdc world until they moke a selectlon. It was the dui of Cardinal Vannutetll. dean of the Sacred College, and Cardinal Gasparri, Papal Secretary of State, to adminlstre the oath to the officers of the ! conclave. A special warning Is given tn the conclavist s' administration of the oath of secrecy will mean excommunication and ! other penalties pres ribed by the new Pope. SEARCH VATICAN FOR STOWAWAYS. Cardinal Gasparri. accompanied by three cardinals find torch bearesr in scarlet livery will examine all of the inwalled area for “stowaways ” Seventeen women, Including eleven nuns and six assistants, were locked up in apartments of G. 1r own. They wll) do the cooking and Clean the crockery.

Three complete, white Papel outfit*, one large, one small t nd the other medium were placed In the robing room adjoining the chapel for use by the new Pontiff as soon ns the feller announces an election. It is expected, beginning tomorrow morning, two ballots will be taken dally. Dwellers In St. Fetors square have leased windows and roofs for “lookout” posts for newspaper men. Special telephone wires have been strung. After each vote the ballots arc burned. A stove had bf-'en placed i t the Slstine chapel wit lith ecbinii.\v propectlng through a window. In the event of a selection only the paper is burned, making a white smoke In the event of no election, straw i* mixed with the ballots to make the smoke black. Thus when the watchers outside see white smoko Issuing from the chimney they know a new Fupe has been elected. When the ( cardinals assemble to ballot tha distribution of the ballots Is preceded by a prayer by the bishop sacristan. Each cardinal deposits Ills marked ballot In the chalice on the altar. Nine cardinals preside over the function of voting, which takes from tbtee to four hours. There are four possible forms of vot Ing, but the one most generally employed Is for each Cardinal to write the name of his choice on his’ballot. When there is a close vote, and then only, the ballot of the Pope-elect (which like tlie others. Is distinguished by a verse of Scripture written on the outside folds) Is opened to make sure the future Pontiff did not vote for himself. \\ hen a candidate has acquired the required number of voles, the Cardinal dean asks him whether he will hceept the election nnd by what name he w’isbes to be known. Immediately the master of ceremonies towers the canopies upon all the cardinals' caliirs, except that of the Popeelect, and he is conducted to a neighborin']!* roonr Where he is clothed in- Papal garments. The cardinals then advance nnd pay “first obedience.” A Cardinal chamberlain then Is appointed and places upon the Pope’s finger the famed]s Fishermen's ring of Papal authority,
