WIDOW IS HELD ON CHARGE OF DUAL MURDER Greenfield Woman Said to Have Killed Husband and His Father. GREENFIELD, Ind., March 11.—Another feminine Bluebeard case rivalling that of Mrs. Lydia Southard In Idaho will be developed In the Hancock Circuit Court here during the April term of court. The State charges Clara Carl poisoned one of her husbands to obtain his insurance money and murdered his father to keep him from sharing in the estate. She faces a charge of first degree murder for the deaths of Frank Carl and his father, Alonzo Carl, whose bodies were exhumed In Hiawatha, Kan., and in whose 6tomachs traces of arsenic were found. KXHt'ME BODY OF FIRST HUSBAND. The body of her first husband, R. M. Gibson, exhumed at Xelsonville, Ohio, was expected to arrive here late today for examination of the stomach. T am Innocent," Mrs. Carl said."'" She would make no other statement and three attorneys whom she has retained refuse to divulge their defense. The theory the State will follow Is that Mrs. Carl killed her father-in-law to prevent part of Frank Carl's Insurance money going to him, as provided by Kansas laws. Prosecuting Attorney Waldo C. Ging will endeavor to prove that her Idea was to have Frank inherit his share of his father's estate and then to kill Frank and obtain this, together with the insurance he carried. LETTER AROUSES SUSPICION. Mra. Carl's arrest resulted directly from a letter she wrote to a friend here saying she would pass through Greenfield within a few days, taking the body of her husband to its burial place. Frank and his father died within a few months of each other, and some statement she made In the letter linked with this fact gave rise to suspicion that the Carla did not die of liver ard kidney trouble, as their cases were diagnosed. Mrs. Carl and her first husband played together when they were kids In Athens, Ohio. Soon after his death she went to Kansas, where she and Carl were married, after a whirlwind courtship. “It was a case of love at first sight,” the neighbors said.

COURT LIMITS AUTHORITY OF ACCOUNTS BODY (Continued From Page One.) pears that Its powers and duties are limited to the subject of accounting and reporting. Incidentally it is required to furnish such evidence as may hare come to its knowledge In the course of an examination of the accounts of any pulFv lie officer for use in the prosecution qf any persdbe suspected of the tommlislon of any crime Involving the loss of public funds, and may consent to a com ; promise by the attorney genera; of any action instituted by him in arcordance with the legislation now under consideration. “There is absolutely nothing in any of the legislation relating to' this vubject which tends In the slightest degree to authorize the department to control the discretion of any. public officer, administrative board, or other governmental agecy whatsoever. COULD NOT CREATE SUCH DEPARTMENT. “Indeed, the Legislature could not create a department and endow it with power to supervise and control public officers Id the performance of their duties generally without amending all the lawa relating to the powers and duties of the officers of the State and of every administrative supervision of the State. It Is to be presumed that If the Legislature were to attempt such a comprehensive and serious project it would not be unmindful of constitutional provisions. “The powers, expressly granted to the department are amply sufficient to ena~ -c It to perform the duties imposed hpv.t it; and there is in the statutes no evidence of an intent to grant any power by implication, unless an implied grant may be inferred from its official title. It must be conceded that the legislative selected a high-sounding name for its offspring. However, there is ti conclusive and impelling reason why no grant of power may be inferred from the name. CITES BEAL OBJECT OF BOARD. “The people of Indiana, by the constitution, vested the legislative power of the State in the general assembly, the executive power in the Governor and the judicial power in the courts: and thereby, they hare provided that the structure of their government shall consist of three co-ordinate departments—the legislative, the executive and the judicial. To concede the I eglslature may create a department of inspection and supervision of public offices, and endow It with power to supervise and control the three constitutional departments, would be to concede that the Legislature has power to transform our State government from a republic to a despotism. Happily, such a transformation cannot be accomplished without first amending two constitutions. There can be no doubt that the Legislature Intended that the department of Inspection and supervision of public offices should be what is commonly called a ’bureau’—a subdepartment of the executive department.” Jesse E. Eschbach, chief examiner of the board of accounts, said a petition for a rehearing of the case will be filed with the Appellate Court. He said if the petition is denied the accounts board will ask that the case be transferred to the Supreme Court. He said he could not tell what effect the decision will have on the work of the accounts board, as he had not studied the ruling.

Highways and By-Ways of LiF OF New York (Copyright, 1922, by th* Public Ledger Company.)

NEW YORK, March 11.—Bishop Thomas F. Gailor, president of the National Council of she Protestant Episcopal Church, has been dragged into a heated controversy with William H. Anderson, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon -League of New York. “How did it all start?” we asked Bishop Gailor, who U a most human and likable wearer of the cloth. “Through being Interviewed by a reporter In Chicago upon what I said last summer In Salt Lake City, Utah,” replied Bishop Gailor, with a twinkle In his eyes. “Your views upon the prohibition question?" we questioned. “Rather the result of my observations.” he repliede. "Disregarding the Salt Lake City Interview and the Chicago Interpretation of It, would you care to outline a present opinion?” “Why not?" answered Bishop Gailor. "While there has been some good accomplished among some people, at tho same time there has been a large measure of encouragement to law-breaking and an irritation of the minds of some of the very best people in the country. And 1 have found in a trip across the continent to the Pacific coast and back considerable Intelligent opinion strongly in favor of some modification of the Vol stead act. That is all I could say and all that I care to say.” Since Mr. Anderson began writtlng letters to the newspapers condemning Bishop Gailor, the Bishop has received scores of letters daily from Influential residents of New Y'ork City commending him for telling of conditions throughout the country as he found them. Capt. M. Godfrey Rodrigues of Holland, walked Into town a few days ago, and beginning today be will l.ave thousands out in the fresh air pounding the city's pavements for exercise. Starting from cily hall at 2 p. m. was to be the first of a serips of health hikes. Ten abreast, the marchers were to walk up La Fayette street to Eight street, thence to Fifth avenue and up to Fifty-Ninth street and over to Columbus Circle. The walks have the backing of Health Commissioner Copeland. It ls planned to have at least two hikes a week and thus literally walk into kpring. The health department's squad of frankly fat women will be in line. Captain Rodrigue* Is a graduate of the Military Academy at Preda, Holland. He has walked from Edinburgh, Scotland, to London, crossed the channel to Calais France, then walked to Paris, to Lyons, to Geneva, Switzerland, over the Alps to Italy, passing through Rome and Naples. He resHpied his saunter In Austria, walked through Hungary and across the Balkan countries down to Odessa, a total distance of 5,000 miles. Later he came to America and walked from New York to San Francisco. He also has done extensive “hoofing” in Australia, Now Zealand, Cuba and Porto Rico.

Ralph Spence, title writer de luxe and owner of anew automobile, has ordered a wireless telephone appartus for his car so he can kep in touch with his boss, William Fox, film magnate, when out touring this summer. ‘‘Our business is suffering from the effects of too much jazz,” said Max Dreyfus, song publisher on Fifth avenue, in the company of A1 Jolson and Irving Berlin. “The sales of popular songs have fallen off terribly. A reaction was bound to come, especially when there has been such an overproduction of really bad songs, most of them Jazz of the sort to be classified as vulgar noise.” “What have been the four leading song hits of the season 1921-1922?” he was asked. “1 should say that ‘Sheik,’ a foxtrot melody, leads with sheet music sales of around 900.000 copies,” was the reply. “The foxtrot ballad, ‘April Showers,' comes next with sales of more than 500,000. Then we have the foxtrot melody, ‘Say It With Music.’ which has passed the 450.000 mark. The fourth winner of the season has been the plaintive Hawaiian melody, ’Kalula,' which is over 300,000 copies. “Next season is going to see very little jazzy-jazz and It ts up to our song writers to give us simple tuneful melodies, if there Is to be any popular music season at all.” Mr. Drcyfug said the only distinctive light music of note on the horizon was Emmerich Kalman's "The Bayadere,” the comic opera now the rage of Vienna, which Charles B. Dillingham will produce in this country. His opinion is that the whole world seems to have gone stale on really good light music, stunned by the invasion of Jazz.

Times Square can not regulate Itself on Its name, and the entire neighborhood from Fony-Secoud street up to Forty-Seventh street ls in an uproar over the taking down of a huge clock from the northern rim of the bright-light (listriot, where for years it had ticked life away from daylight to daylight. The New York Business Men's Association has demanded that (he city restore the timepiece to Times Square or provide its equivalent, and In the event nothing ls done at city hall, the associates threatens to start a clock fund among the pawnbrokers, sons of pawnbrokers and other resident beneficiaries of the area.

For two nights she had dreams she was on a long walk. On the third night she dreamed as she actually was walking She was fully clothed, having dressed herself even to the last detail, all except tying one shoe lace. In leaving the house, she walked through the living room and picked up her hat from the piano stool and donned a sweater. She unlocked both her bedroom door and the door to the living room as she left the house, leaving both wide open. Near the Maish dairy farm a mile east of Frankfort, a traction car passed her and the headlight shown full in her face. She awakened.

33 PRECINCTS ADDED TO LIST IN MARION COUNTY Boundary Lines Changed to Give Each District About 800 Votes. Thirty-three voting precincts today were added to the county by the Marlon County Commissioners when numerous precinct boundary lines tvere changed, precincts having been divided for the purpose of increasing the precincts from 177 to 210 over two years ago. The added three precincts in the First ward; one In the Third; seven in the Fourth; one in the Fifth; two in the Sixth; two in the Sevquth; three in the Eighth; two in the Ninth; six in Washington Township and two in Perry Township. “Additional precincts were added for the purpose of giving each precinct a tCtal of about 800 votes,” County Auditor Leo K. Fesler said. “When the city changed the precincts some time ago some of the precincts had as high as 1,100 votes. The change in the boundaries will cause many candidates to tile again their declarations of Intentions as candidates at the primary, because candidates are required to name the precinct in which they reside.

UNDERWOOD SAYS PACT HOLDS KEY (Continued From Fage One.) ly was necessary” before tho naval treaty was signed or could be made effective. He stated the other powers which signed the Pacific pact “yielded to the request of Japan” that the Japanese homeland be taken out of .It. SAY AMENDMENTS INSURE PEACE. “Thus amended, the four-power pact provides for peace In the Pacific, guaranteed by mutual pledges of all the signatory powers to respect the Integrity of the territory of each and in case of differences between them, to coufer,” Underwood said. “There ls nothing in th treaty to Justify either of the Interpretations given by its critics, that It provides for an offensive or defensive alliance, or if it does not, that it means nothing. The real issue involved is that of peace in the Orient, the issue of safety to our country.” The text of Hughes’ letter follow*: “My Dear Senator: 1 understand that In the course of debate ia the Senate upon the four power treaty questions have been raised with respect to its authorship. it seems to be Implied that In some way the American delegates have been Imposed upon, or that they were induced to accept some plan cunningly contrived by others and opposed to our interests. Apart from the reflec- ' tion upon the competency of the American delegates, such intimations betray a very poor aud erroneous conception of the work in connection with the conference, no part of which—whether within or outside the conference meetings—was begun, prosecuted or concluded In intrigue. Nothing could be farther from the fact. "It is, of course, wholly inconsistent with the amenities of international Inter course that the Informal and conflden- j tin' suggestions and conversations Incl dent to negotiations should be slated, but the Senate may be assured that a full disclosure of everything said or done In the course of the negotiations would reveal nothing derogatory to the part taken by any of the American delegate* or involve any consideration or acceptance of nny position not entirely consi- -nr with the traditional policies of tl-.s Government.” “II should be remembered the fourpower treaty dealt with a subject—the Anglo-Japanese alliance—which, as an agreement between the powers competent to make and continue It, was not, and iu tlie nature of things eould not be. appropriately placed on the ageuila. Technically, It was a matter outside the conference, although the conference fuirnlshed an excellent opportunity for couvarsations regarding it. SAYS NEGOTIATIONS WERE FAIR ENOUGH. "While I cannot, of course, undertake to state what was proposed or suggested in conference by any of the delegates, 1 think it entirely proper to say the negotiations relating to the four-power treaty were conducted within limitations defined bv the American Government* The views of this Government os to the importance of the termination of the An-glo-Japanese alliance hud been communicated long before the conference met, end It had also been clearly stated this Government could enter into an alliance or make uo commitment to the use of arms which, or would Impose any sort of obligation as to Its decisions in fut'ure contingencies. It must deal with any exigency according to its constitutional methods. In preparation for the conference, the American delegates reviewed the matter thoroughly and the entire course of the negotiations In connection with the four-power treaty were in accord with these principles, and. as I have said, within the limits which we defined. “The treaty Itself Is very short aud simple, aud is perfectly clear. It requires no commentary. Its engagements are easily understood and no ingenuity in argument or hostile criticism can add to them or make them other or greater than Its unequivocal language sets forth. There are no secret notes or understandings. AUTHORSHIP HELD UNIMPORTANT. “In view of this the question of authorship is unimportant. It was signed by four powers, whose delegates respectively adopted It, all having made various suggestions. “I may suy, however, with respect to the general course of negotiations that, after assent had been given by Great Britain and Japan, that France should be a party to the agreement, I prepared a draft of the treaty based upon the various suggestions which had been ex- I changed between the delegates. This draft was submitted to Senator Lodge and Mr. Root, as you were then abSeqt on account of the death of your mother. After the approval of the American delegates who were here, the draft was submitted to the representatives of other powers and became the subject of discussion beiween the heads of the delegations concerned, and with a few changes which were approved by the American delegates and which did not affect the spirit or substance of the proposed treaty, an agreement was reached.

I should add that, In order to avoid* any misunderstanding I prepared a memorandum to accompany the treaty with respect to its effect iu relation to the mandated Islands and reserving domestic questions. , . . “At this stage, while it was not strictly a conference matter, In order to Insure publicity at the earliest possible moment, the treaty as thus agreed upon and before It had been signed, was presented by Senator Lodge to the conference In plenary session and Its import and limitations stated. His statement met with the acquiescence of all. “The treaty ns thus drawn and notified was deemed to embrace tlie main islands of Japan. Later, In view of tho sentiment both in this country and Japan, it was deemed to be prefcrrable to exclude these main Islands and a supplementary treaty was prepared to this effect which designated the Island of Japan which It was to Include. There ia not tho slightest mystery about the treaty basis for suspicion regarding it, It is a straightforward document which attains one of the most Important objects the American Government has had In view and is of tho highest Importance to the maintenance of friendly relations in th Far East upon a sound basis. As the I'resident said recently In his communication to the Senate, It ls an essential part of the plan li create conditions in the Fur East at once favorable to the maintenance of the poiinea *ro long have advocated and to an eL.'du¥ihg peace. “In vlow or this, and In view of the relation of the treaty to the results of tho conference.

The Republican leader Intended to compel a test of strength between the critics of the pact and its supporters, by insisting upon a final vote on the pending reservation sponsored by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, even though It were necessary to hold a night session. LODGE MEASURE league Reflection. The Robinson reservation ls regarded as a reflection of the League of Nations Idea. Its chief purpose is to provide for a general conference of ail nations “claiming un Interest" In any controversy that may arise between the four powers signatory to the four-power treaty and other nations not parties to it. it would prevent the four powers from merely holding a conference of their own “In order to arrive at an understanding as to tho most efficient measures to be taken, jointly or separately," by them lo "meet the exigencies of a particular situation in the region of the Pacific,” in ease the situation involved other nations. The reservation also provides that the four powers “will respect the rights and possessions of all other nations and re fraln from nil attacks of uggresslon" against any or all of (hem. WOULD CURB JAPAN FROM AGGRESSION. The latter provision, Senator Robinson said, would clearly stipulate that Japan, for Instance, should restrain from further acts of aggression against either China or Russia. Only a majority vote ls necessary to reject a reservation proposed to a treaty under the Senate rules and Senator Lodge purposes to bring about the defeat of all or any reservations except the Harding-Brandegee "no alliance” reservation adopted by a majority of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He and Senator Underwood are cling lng to their prediction that the treaty will be ratified despite the announced intention of many Democratic Senators to vote against it unless reservations favored by them are attached to it. Underwood was to face another sever* test of his leadership, being scheduled to deliver a carefully prepared speech in an effort to meet the storm of criticism directed against the four-power pact by an Increasing number of his Democratllc colleagues.

ROME ADVICES ON U. S. DEALS HOLDSURPRISE Cable Dispatch Announces Americans Buy Anatolia Concessions. WASHINGTON. March 11.—Lively interest was aroused in Washington official circles by the cable announcement from Rome American capital has obtained valuable concessions In Anatolia. It is known to Government departments Americans have been prospecting for concessions In the Near East, but confirmation ls lacking of any accomplished transactions such as the Rome Messagero reports on the authority of its Constantinople correspondents. The activities of Robert MacDqwell, the American mentioned in the Rome eable are on official x-ecord in Washington. He went to the Near East about three months ago oil behalf of the Foundation Company, 120 Liberty street, New York, a finance corporation, and if he> has succeeded in obtaining a one hundred year concession for hydro-electrical power in Anatolia he presumably acted on behalf of those principals. The name of the “Greenland Company," which is reported to have secured important concessions for the improvement of Messina, the port of the province of Cilicia, is not known in Washington official quarters. The publication of the news at once impelled departmental officials to institute inquiries as to the identity of the Greenland concern. Some time ugo Julian Gillespie, representative of the Department of Commerce at Constantinople, was dispatched to Angora, the Young Turk Nationalist capital dominated by Mustapha Kemal, on an informal mission of inquiry. He has acquainted the department with the result of his investigations, and the information supplied is available to American business men or capitalists who desire to engage in activities in the Near East. Conditions in Turkey are chaotic and uncertain. The existence of two rival capitals. Angora and Constantinople, denotes a state of Internal disorganization which many Americans regard unfavorable to any extensive commercial activities in Turkey at this time. The United States has not recognized the Kemailst government of Angora. The Near Eastern political conference to assemble in Paris on March 20 ls expected to straighten out the situation, or at least clarify it to a point that would justify tho economy enterprise to a degree that does not seem warranted under the present state of unrest and political turmoil. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

MOTHERHOOD IS FIRST , ASSERTS LADY RHONDDA London's Foremost Business Woman Insists Rights Musi Be Equal. LONDON. March 11.—" The greatest profession for women will always be motherhood, but women must have equal rights with men in all professions, including statesmanship,” I.ady Rhondda declared today In an exclusive interview given to the International News Service, the first Interview she has granted since being recommended for a seat In the House of Lords. Lady Rhondda, who is recognized as London's biggest busiuess woman, ls leading the fight for women to sit in the House of Lords. "It may be in days before the vote for women was secured, the woman's | movement received more newspaper headlines than now,” she continued, “but that | probably was accounted for by the fact | that in those days women had to resort to i militancy, which was apt to receive headlines. | “The need for militancy is past,” she I added. “Women now are enfranchised, i They are working steadily toward the lends they have in view aud they are succeeding. “I believe women will and must take an increasing interest in politics, because there always are many questions under discussion that effect them. “I do not think there ever will be an exclusive women's party because women on ordinary politic questions are likely to think along much the same lines as men. * “The part of women in public life is bound to grow,” she continued. “Before the next general election I think we shall see twenty or thirty women candidates for office. It may be within a few years we shall see a strong feminine representation In Parliament. “When women take an equal part in public affairs with men, It is not likely there will be differences of opinion along sex ltnes.

“End four Rheumatism Like f Did l¥Une 9f —Says Pastor Reed: Wife Also Rid of Neuritis Suffered Tortures For Years— Now Telling Good News To Others “Don’t Believe That Old Hnmbng About ’Uric Acid’ Being tho Cause of Rheumatism—lt's Not So!” Emphatically asserting that thousands of unfortunate sufferers have been led into taking wrong treatments under the old and false belief that “Uric Acid” causes rheumatism, Pastor H. YV. Reed says: “As do some of our highest medical authorities, I now know that “Uric Acid” never did and never will cause aheutnatismi But it took me many years to find out this truth. I learned how to get rid of my rheumatism and recover my health and strength, through reading ‘The Inner Mysteries of Rheumatism,’ a work written by an authority who has scientifically studied the cause and treatment of rheumatism for over twenty years. It was indeed a veritable revelation ! “I had suffered agony for years from rheumatism and associated disorders, and Mrs. Reed was tortured with the demon xiexiritis almost beyond endurance. YVe had read and talked so much about Trie Acid’ that our minds seemed poisoned. But the Inner Mysteries of Rheumatism' made It all clear to us and now we are both free from the suffering and misery we endured so many years. I believe I was the hardest man iu the world to convert! For me to discard the old ‘Uric Acid’ theory, and what I now know to be absolutely false, for the new, scientific understanding of the causes and cure of rheumatism, was like asking me to change my religious beliefs! But I did change, and it was a fortunate day for me and mine when I did so.” NOTE: “The Inner Mysteries of Rheumatism” referred to above by I’astor Reed lays bare facts about rheumatism and its ’ associated disorders overlooked by doctors and scientists for centuries past. It is a work that should be in the hands of every man or woman who has the slightest .symptoms of rheumatism, neuritis, lumbago or gout. Anyone who sends name and address to H. p.
