NEW HURLS ‘NO’ AT BEVERIDGE PROPOSAL

HARDING TO PUT TUCK IN WORLD CREDIT Resolves Universe Must Get Back to ‘Normalcy.’ ASKS ECONOMY U. S. Banking Interests Urged to Be Cautious. WASHINGTON, March 10.—The Harding Administration has decided to pull the strings of world credit a bit tighter in the hope of compelling European nations to balance their budgets, decrease their military establishments and get back to those sound economic theories without which, American cthclals believe, there can be no return to ‘‘world normalcy.” And since America has become possessed of two-thirds of the world's gold supply, and the tremendous financial prestige that goes with It, the Government has determined to utilize this power to enforce its economic policies. This Is the underlying motive. Treasury officials admitted today, for the' renewed appeal by the State Department a few days ago for American banking interests to consult with the Government before undertaking large banking transactions with foreign nations, particularly those of Europe. American bankers are being Informed the Government looks with disfavor upon the granting of loans which are desired by the borrowing nations merely to balance budgets, which should be balanced by taxation and decreased expenditures, or loans to governments with which the United States is not in accord on matters of economic policy. Congressional approval of such a pcdlcy already is assured, according to officials. There is before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations a resolution by Senator McCormick, Republican of Illinois, calling on the State Department for Information ns to how much money debtor nations of ’rope are spending on their milltar;- end laval forces. The Government at present has no authority to prevent or forbid banking syndicates from making loans wherever and whenever they see fit. The Government, however, has ways of bringing unofficial pressure to bear on banks that display an unwillingness to cooperate with ths Government. It Is not believed any legislation will be necessary to strengthen the Government's hand In this respect.

Officials Urge Coal Operators to Meet Miners Government in Final Effort to Break Deadlock and Avert Strike. WASHINGTON, March 10.—A final es fort to break the deadlock In the bituminous coal strike situation and draw the operators Into a national conference was being made by Government officials here today. Word Is being ‘rnnsmitted to operators who have failed to answer the •'suggestion" of President Harding to meet iu a national session with the miners, that their refusal to do so will do looked upon as a violation of their agreement and a serious breach of good faith. With this action officials hoped they might overcome difficulties which ham developed In the camps of both the operators and miners. Word has been received from miners' headquarters In Indianapolis that the miners are eniirely willing to come to Washington for a meeting with the operators. This is being used by Government officials In their efforts to induce the operators to join. The situation, these officials point out, is "not hopeless—merely deadlocked.” MIXERS 7 OFFICIALS MEET IN PITTSBURGH PITTSBURGH, March 10—United Mine Workers' executives will meet here today to discuss refusal of Pittsburgh operator* to become party to a wage scale for Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. 22 Pittsburgh Girls Missing From Homes PITTSBURGH, Pa..

Row in Congress Looms Over Treasury ‘Knocking’ Tactics on Bonus Plans

WASHINGTON, March 10.—A row of no small proportions was threatened in Congress today over the action of Treasury officials in ‘'knocking” the soldier "bonus” certificate plan worked out by the Republicans of the Ways and Means Committee. Several members of the committee. Including Representative Frear, Republican of Wisconsin, served notice they would deal with the matter on the floor. Various and conflicting statements attributed to Comptroller of the Treasury Crissinger to the effect that ho would advise national banks against accepting the certificates as security arouse 1 particular ire. “By some newspapers most radically opposed to “bonus” legislation. Crissinger was quoted as stating that he would forbid” national banks from accepting suen paper. By others he was merely quoted as stating he would ndvise against acceptance of any large amounts of it. Comptroller Crissinger was en route to his home In Marion, Ohio, and calls at bis office failed to elicit an official statement of his exact remarks, but members of the Ways and Means Committee said they would ask from the floor under what authority Treasury officials deign to "In-

said two course concrete, emulsified asphalt or Kentucky rock asphalt will be used to improve the stretch and the Hardin Construction Company has been engaged to do the work at u cost of approximately $1,900. Work will start ns soon as the material is decided upon, the councilman said. In giving permission for the private construction of the pavement, the board of works abandoned the plan of the Jewett administration to eliminate the Jog at th.s point by cutting anew street diagonally through from tlie west to east sections of New York street. It was estimated this would have cost approximately $25,000. Property owners blocked the plan by remonstrance.

STRIKE MENACE STILL HOVERS OVERCOUNTRY Operators Say They Regard Proposed Conference as Futile. Th situation growing out of the threatened strike of 400,000 miners of the bituminous coal fields of the country April 1 was "unchanged" today. Responses of the coal operators to the latest efforts of Secretary of Labor Davis to bring the owners Into conference with their employes to avert a strike, bring "no change" In the status of the miners’ wage difficulties, William Green, secretary treasurer of the United Mine Workers said. The attitude of the operators, summed up. Is this: Indiana—“ Ready to comply” with Secretary Davis’ appeal, but regarded the 1 proposed conference ns "futile." Western Pennsylvania Determined ! not to meet tho DuSted Mine Workers, I t.itt resolved to deal with their own men alene. Ohio—'Willing to negotiate, “provided" ! all other operators of the centra! competitive field join in the conference. Illinois—Will accept tho conference invitation. FARRINGTON HOLDS CONFERENCE VAIN. I'r;nk Farrington, chief of the Illinois miners, however, is reported ns skeptical “any good wilt come of It.” Meanwhile officials of the international union, Mr. Green said, are pursuing a policy of “watchful waiting,’’ recalling the union Rtands ready at all time to negotiate wi’u tt le operators. There was no sign of a healing of the threatened broach between Mr. FnrrlngI ton and the internal final organization, i brought to a climax by’' Farrington’s declaration a separate wage agreement will be sought in Illinois unless tho Interstate conference is assured or in prospect before tho end of tho month. : “We never have considered what stops may be taken to prevent the Illinois union from making a separate wage agreement.” Mr. Green said, “but we don’t think ho will negotiate a separate schedule.” FARRINGTON PLEDGE IS RE; ALLED. The international secretary-treasurer reiterated Mr. Farrington has agreed to abide by the decision of the International policy committee which likely will be called into session before the end of the month. This committee Is expected to take a decided stand against district contracts. Mr. Farrington, on the other hand, has “laughingly complimented" tho union chiefs on their ability to road an “agreement” into his telegram stating the Illinois miners would refrain from making a separate agreement with the operators only so long as an interstate conference appeared to be a certainty. Seek Poison Trace; Man Dead 2 Years NELSONVILLE, Ohio. March 10.—The stomach of Robert Gibson, 45, who died two years ago In Huntsville. Mo., was sent to Hancock County, Ind, officials today for analysis.

Traces of arsenic were said to have been found In their stomachs.

terfere with the framing of laws by Congress.” and “where they get tho authority to advise the ignoring or noncompliance with laws framed by Congress.” What seems a decided trend away from the soldier ‘Tonus” has sutlenly appeared In the House. Many members, both Republicans and Democrats, hitherto for Immediate passage of the “bonus,” are reliably reported ito have suddenly turned against the measure, or at least to have gone In the “doubtful” class. House leaders are aware of the change in sentiment, but said passage of the "bonus” is In no wise endangered. The bill, they declared, will be taken up as scheduled March 20 and no difficulty will be encountered In getting a twothirds majority. The House cloakrooms are buzzing with anti-bonus talk. On the Republican side this talk started with a visit to the floor by former Congressman Jim Good of Chicago, recently a powerful House Republican leader. Fresh from contact vzlth "the people' in the Mid West, Good told his former colleagues “the country is against the ‘bonus' and will not support a Congress that passes It."

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1922.

ELLIOTT NOW SEEMS VICTOR IN HIS FIGHT Marion County Concern Offers Lower Paving Bid. OTHERS HOLD OUT New Estimates Show Reduction of $1 Square Yard. Victory for John L. Elliott, city civil engineer, In his fight for lower asphalt prices was In prospect today, when compilation of bids upon the permament Improvement of Eighteenth street from Rural to Parker avenue showed the Marion County Construction Company cut Its price for asphalt paving to $3.01 a square yard. Mr. Elliott went on the asphalt war path Feb. CO, when bids were submitted for permanent improvement of streets with asphalt were around $4.10 per square yard. Ho wrote to the board of public works he thought the price should be between $2 so anil $."! a square yard. Feb. 20, the Marion County Construction Company hi ] $1 10 a square yard on the permanent improvement wi'h asphalt of Maple street from McCarty to Morris streets and this bid was among those rejected by the board of public works ns too high. The bid upon Eighteenth street, which Mr. Elliott said ho would recommend to the board of public works for acceptance, shows the Marlon County Construction Company lias cut its price $1 a square yard. MARION COUNTY CONCERN BIDS ALONE. The Marion County Construction Company is the first and only contracting company to heed the demand of the engineer, which has been backed up by the board of public works to considerable extent, that asphalt prices be lowered. An idea of the extent to which the Marion County Construction Company has cut tinder the prices of other contractors Is obtained by Comparing’ its bid on Eighteenth s' reef, which was submitted Wednesday, with thojo of three other companies. The Marion County Construction Company Idd $3.04 a lineal foot of property frontage and J 5.55 a llnenl foot of haifInterseetloiis for oil asphalt paving of Eighteenth street. It hid $3 43 a lineal font and $9 on Intersections for Trinidad (Continued on I'ngo Seventeen.)

VAR AGE RILL OF SI,BOO TO BE PVT UP TO UNCLE SAM Nageleisen Wishes Fay for Keeping Autos and Horse Seized in Rum Cases. Are garagemen to Rtoro automobiles seized in liquor raids by the Federal prohibition officers to store the cars for Uncle Rjtin on a charity basis with no hope of recompense? This is a question being asked anxiously by a number of unfortunate garage owners throughout Indiana, following a report that the prohibition department has no funds with which to pay storage charges. Tho whole question has come to a head through the efforts of Ralph T. Xagdlelsen, manager of the Terminal Baggage and Transfer Company, 906 East I‘ratt street, to collect a hill of about si,Boo for the storage of a number of automobiles and ono horse for a period, of more than a year iu some Instances. “I have been Informed that the department has no funds to pay these storage charges,” Mr. Nagolelson said today “and I Intend to take the matter up with Prohibition Director Bert Morgan immediately. Some of theso machines were stored with us more than a year ago and it certainly is 'unfair to expect us to take eare of them without payment." Four of these machines were sold at public amnion yesterday unde rorders from Judge Albert It. Anderson of the local Federal Court and about SOOO was realized from their sale. An amusing feature of the sale was that a horse, the only one ever seized In connection with Ulegel transportation of liquor, brought only sl2 at auction, while the Upkeep of the animal for tho period of more than a year he has been eared for by Mr. Nageleisen has cost $576, according to the bill presented by him to the prohibition department. “When Group Chief Kidder brought this horse to me inoro than a year ago,” Mr. Nageleisen said. “I protested against taking care of it, and told him It would cost e lot more to keep tho animal than it wa i worth, but ho Insisted that I tako care of It.” If tho prohibition department refuses to pay for tho storage of automobiles seized by Its agents It undoubtedly will result in an embarrassing situation for the department, as garagemen slmpiy refuse to accept machines for storage and what to do with them will be a big problem for the department to handle. Government Needs $136,895,573 More WASHINGTON, March 10.—The second degpiency appropriation bill carrying $130,893,753 for Government expenses during the current fiscal year, was approved today by the Senate Committee on Appropriations.

‘Who Wrote Pacific Pact?’ Is Promising to Become as Famed as ‘How Old Is Ann ?’

WASHINGTON, March 10.—The perplexing question of “who wrote the fourpower Pacific treaty" continued today to vex Senators opposed to the pact. Senator Reed, Democrat, of Missouri suggested the moot question of its authorship promised to become as famous as the conundrum “How old Is Ann?" Reed was among tha Senators fighting its ratification who declared that, notwithstanding the statement of a high State Department official that “who wrote it does not matter,” the Senate was entitled to know who did draft it before being nailed upon to approve it. It was intimated a resolution calling upon President Harding to inform tho Senate as to who wrote the treaty probably would be launched in the Senate as a sequel to the State Department's lefusal to reeeal its author, or authors and to the Joint admission of Senators Lfldg# and Underwood, a# member# of

FLATLY TURNS DOWN OFFER TO CONFER ON CAMPAIGN BUDGET Senator Refuses to Be Drawn Into ‘Any Quarrels or Controversies’ With Opponent in G. 0. P.

The Senator declared In a formal statement that ho refuses to be drawn Into any controversies with Mr, Beveridge. The proposal that expenditures he agreed upon was made by Mr. Beveridge In his keynote speech at Ft. Wayne last night. The hurling of the challenge by Mr. Beveridge and the curt reply of Senator New opens up In real earnest the Republican primary fight which probably will continue unabated until May 2, primary day.

The criticism of the secrecy respecting its authorship, as well as the negotiations preceding the signing of it. continued to be voiced by Senators as debate was resumed with little prospect of a final vote on ratification for at least another week. Senators Lodge and Underwood professed not to be disturbed by the storm of opposition breaking against tho treaty. It was understood as a result of another canvass, or “count of noses,” made by them, they were convinced at least twelve Democratic votes would be easy for ratification and not more than foui Republican votes against it. It was pointed out twelve Democratic votes were more than enough in the Judgment of the two leaders to insure ratification, despite the efforts of the opposition to make further Inroads on the line-up in support of tu treaty,

HOME EDITION TWO CENTS PER COPY

"Rot!” That was the characterization by Senator New In answer to the Ims plication made by Mr. Beveridge that $45,000, the salary for six years of a Senator, would be spent by the New forces in the primary campaign. The Senator later issued the following statement on the subject: "Everybody In the .State knows that I am not a rich man and thai I have no great private fortune behind me npon which I may draw. I shall conduct my campaign not only within the law, but within the proprieties. If I had a league of daily newspapers at my command which had devoted n nil mi ted space to my campaign for the last two years and I was certain it would continue to devote as much or greater space for the remainder of the campaign, my case would be different, I decline to he drawn into any quarrels or controversies with Mr. Ber. erldge.” demonstration' FOR THE SENATOR. A demonstration greeted Senator New upon his arrival. Senator New said ha did not expect to remain here long and ! that ho had no definite plans for his aeS tivifies while here. lie said he may bo | called back to Washington for the vote ! of the treaties tonight although he did I not anticipate a vote this week. When asked if any agreement between I him and the Beveridge forces to limit ; campaign expdenditures, Senator New i said he expected to conduct his campaign i strictly within the law as regards expenditures. He said he does not expect to stump tha State. He declared everybody knows about “where I stand and X expect to keep on the job in Washington.” Senator New said if he had a league of newspapers that devoted space to him for three years and would continue to do so throughout the campaign, perhaps expenditures for advertising would not be necessary. The delegation which met Senator New at the station Included former Mayors Charles A. Bookwalter and Charles W. Jewett.
