HOLDS UNIONS LACK RIGHT TO DICTATE TRADE Condemnation of attempts made by labor unions to restrict the right of young men to enter any trade they are fitted for teas expressed by Albert JBeveridge in a talk today before the Indiana Society of Sanitary Engineers, which is holding its twenty-sixth annual convention at the Claypool Hotel. “Wh?n the time comes young men are denied the right to learn ? trade; we are undermining not only the plumbing industry, but all industry,” Mr. Beveridge said. Tbe speaker said he regarded the derease in the number of cnDreutices enaged in the plumbing business as a real menace to public health. Turning his attr>* , on to general business condition*; Mr. Beveridge said. “Optimism is a wonderful help, but optimism ilone will no tincrease business. There arc other factors that must be considered.” He then went ou to say business can not improve permanently as long as railroad rates are as high as they are at present. The Government must also cease its attacks on investing capital. “Don't think the first thing to do to re-establish the country is to throwpood money after had on bankruptcy foreign markets.” Mr. Beveridge said. Charles L. Barry, president of the Indianapolis board of school commissioners, spoke on “Vocational Training” and expressed himself as in favor of installing a course in sanitary engineering at Arsenal Technical High School. At the afternoon session Dr. W. F. King, assistant secretary of the State board of health, spoke on “Sanitation.” The report of the treasurer. Emil Hartig of Evansivlie, was read and approved. There will be a banquet in the Riley Boom of the Claypool Hotel tonight, which will be followed by dancing. The convention will close tomorrow afternoon. SIPE TELLS GRAND JURY HIS STORY (Continued From Page One.) instrutced the Jury to determine if a conspiracy was entered into by Sipe and others to misuse public funds. Judge Pro Tern Robert Dalton of Superior Court. Room 1. said John F. Robbins. who was appointed receiver for Sipe's assets, has made a demand upon Norman A. Zolezzl for $3,300, to “cover” money said to have been loaned by Sipe to Zolezzl. “Mr. Robbins is busy with that side of the case now,” Judge Dalton stated. Zelezzl was named by Sipe in his first public statement as one of his “friends" who borrowed large sums from him and also induced him to Invest about J I I,OOO in stock of the Hoosler Stack Com^afey. It is probable Zolezzi may appear before the grand jury as it was said by an official at the courthouse today that Zolezzl bad stated if he was wanted by the grand jury, he would be willing to appear. Mr. Robbins, as receiver, for the past few days, has been making efforts to obtain ail of Sipe's assets as ordered by Judge Dalton. It became known, Sipe when county clerk, on numerous occasions cashed checks for “friends” and some of the chocks were returned marked “protested” by the banks. These checks are in the hands of the proper authorities who are trying to collect on them. Officials site these checks as “another example of the loose manner” in which Sipe conducted his office. k With the grand Jury beginning to hear ■witnesses, it is ih<vught from two to three ■ weeks will be necessary to complete the j inve tiuation. By the time the field examiners report to the prosecutor the result of tneir investigation into Sipe's books, it is thought officials will be able to account for nearly all of Sipe's shortages. There are indications Sipe used public funds during fcis first year in office. The ramifications of the case become more confusing as Sipe for more than a year “mix’d” his private and official accounts at the banks. Officials have admitted they hrve discovered a system known as “check kiting” by which Sipe was able to cover up his losses. Prosecutor Evans is making no statement for publication and told newspaper men he is “not trying this case in the newspapers,” rs he is “after resutls.” The appearance of Sipe before the grand Jury door was unexpected, as the Impression was given out witnesses would pot be examined until the field examiners had completed their investigation of pipe’s books. Under the law the prosecutor could not Itave compelled Sipe to appear before tne grand Jnry. His appearance shows he Bppeajed voluntarily before that body.

(Continued From Page One.) bigamy charge was $3,000, and SI,OOO in each of the others. The charges were brought on affidavits sworn to by Harriet Evans, his most recent wife. After tbe hearing in city court, Harriet Evans, accompanied by detectives. went to the grand Jury room and g.ive evidence in the cases pending against Moore. In city court Judge Wilmeth asked Moore a few questions which the defended answered in a low voice. His hrnd trembled as he held the lapel of his coat and admitted his identity and declared he was willing to waive examination and have the grand Jury hear the charges. Moore said he was glad he was arrested, provided they gave him medic-il attention for his nervousness. I¥ED TO CARRY LIST OF HIS WIVES. Moore told detectives that at one time he carried with him a list of all his' wires, but that he destroyed it, fearing he would be caught with it. The stories of detectives and that of Moore do not agree in all respects. They say he married his first wife. Flora Dolf, about twelve years ago and that she is now living in Kingston, Pa. The second wife, detectives say, Moore married in Detroit under the name of Harry Moore. He married Sue Harris in Houme, La., under the name of Howard Miller. George Shields was the name he used when he married “Bessie,” whose last name he does not remember, at Wilson, N. C., according to detectives. “Gertrude” was married to Moore at Findlay, Ohio, Moore, using the name of Howard Wilson, at that time, the policy say. No. 6, Laura Shields, was married to him in Spokane, Wash., when he used the name of Howard Melvin, according to the same authority. Moore used the name of J. A. Vaughn when he married Florence Johnson at David City, Neb., and he forgets the name he used when he married Helen Hardgraves at Augusta, Kas., the police say. Detectives baTe looked up the record of the marriage of Moore and Laura Hertzling at Peoria, Ills. The record shows the marriage took place June 25, 1921, and that Moore used the name of George Churchill. The marriage of Moore and Harriet Evans, according to the police, took at Vincennes, Nov. 30, 1921. at which time Moore used tbe name of George Melrose. The marriage is said to have followed a courtship of only two weeks. MET MANY OF HIS WIVES AT CHURCHES. Moore, according to the police, met many of his wives in churches to which he belonged. He is said to be a singer and to have sung in a number of church choira, usually ending by marrying a member of the choir. Moore told the police that as a boy he served a term in the correctional department of a boys’ reform school near Philadelphia. He is also said to have admitted passing numerous bad checks In various cities and to have bought automobiles and diamonds. He said he had left some of his diamonds with a lawyer in Minneapolis, but that he could not remember the lawyer's name. TWF.LVETH WARD G. O. I*. TO MEET.

It developed In the course of investigation into the case that a hurried effort was made by an Indianapolis lawyer yesterday afternoon to have Moore declared insane. The lawyer appeared .at the court of T. Ernest Maholm, justice of the peace, and demanded that a sanity Inquest be held immediately. Maholm said he investigated into the reasons for the hurry and that when he discovered Moore sis about to be charged with bigamy and embezzlement, refused to order the inquest. Inspector of Detectives Mullin said he believes Moore is sane. Inspector Mullin said a charge of grand larceny probably will be added to the other two charges. ‘Bride Did Bossing , Groom Sat Still and Just Waited VINCENNES, Ind., March 14.—Isaiah Moore, held in Indianapolis on charges of bigamy and embezzlement, and Miss Harriett Evans, said to be his eleventh wife, were married in Vincennes Nov. 30, 1921, by the Rev. J. N. Greene, pastor of the First Methodist Church. “I remember that case,” said the Rev. Mr. Green today. “I rlmember the bride better than the groom. She was an old maid and seemed to be the bosr of the transaction. In fact, she did boss the whole proceedings while the groom sat still and waited. “The couple said they were from Bicknell, the bride’s occupation having been given as a school teacher.” In the marriage license records it was discovered both Miss Evans and Moore said the marriage was their first. Moore's name was given as Melrose on the records. Down at Bioknell, a coal mining center, the Rev. E. A. Daugherty introduced the couple. “It was love at first sight." the preacher said. Melrose, as the man was known there, had quite a reputation as a singer. He appeared in the choirs of several Protestant churches. J. E. Richey, at whose home Miss Evans stayed, tried to dissuade her fron tha wedding, but she went ahead end accepted Melrose “for better, for worse.” Her own version is that It ,:urned out to be worse. On the license record, Melrose said he was born in New Tork City June 1, 1891, and that his father, George Melrose, came over from London. The records show that Miss Evans was born June 6, 1888, the daughter of John S. Evans, editor, at Coldwater, Mich.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1922.
ELLIOTT IS NEUTRAL AS TO ASPHALT (Continued From Page One.) believe a macadam base will work Just as well.’’ Macadam consists of finely crushed stone packed with a roller and sometimes bo'und with a treatment of water, oil or some other liquid. Macadam is cheaper than concrete. “I don’t believe we need anything better than macadam under asphalt,” said the engineer. “Capital avenue from Indiana avenue to Thirty-Fifth street has not a bit of concrete in it. From Indiana avenue to Sixteenth street there is a crushed stone base, and that is one of the best asphalt pavements we have in the city. “Furthermore, I think our theory of graveling unimproved streets is wasteful. We put gravel on streets and have to keep putting it on every year. Then we come to improve it and we dig out all the gravel and throw it away. Why not build macadam streets, so we will have something we can see when we go to put a hard surface on them?” Later in the discussion Mr. Freeman said he hadn't quite understood what Mr. Elliott had said about his relations with the Portland Cement Association. The engineer repeated his intention of working out a specification to eliminate concrete from asphalt street bases. "From several sources," he said, “I have it they say I am connected with the cement association.” “I wouldn’t believe that John," saM Dr. Spencer, “because no man is fft to

hold public office, who has sold himself out.” President Charles E. Coffin of the oard said the board had faith in Its engiuec-? and was going to abide by his technical advice because the board had to depend upon Its technicians, being composed of laymen. Mr. Freeman agreed. While Mr. Elliott was delivering his lecture upon how Trinidad and oil asphalts are derived, showing Trinidad asphalt comes from bitumen mined from Lake Trinidad in the Merlditerranean Sea while oil asphalt is made from bitumen refined from crude oil, William H. Armitage, agent for the Barber Asphalt Company which produces and sells Trinidad and Bermudas asphalt, the only two natural asphalts, in the room.- He took no part whatever in the discussion Mr. Armitage said: “I ant not going to put up any fight to get the board ,to specify Trinidad asphalt,” declared Mr. Armitage, later. “I wouldn’t have lost that fight yesterday if I had wanted to Ight for it. If other bids are cheaper than Trinidad let the other people have it. I’m not going to try to force the board to do anything.” This statement was taken by those who have watched the fight betwen the engineer and the board of works as indicating if the Barber Asphalt Company wishes to establish a Trinidad monopoly in Indianapolis It will have to work through someone else than Mr. Armitage. Mr. Armitage, however, insisted he was going to remain the agent for the Barber company. He has said several times he has a contract with the company. In explanation of his statement there is i:o difference, in his opinion, in the wearing qualities of Trinidad and oil asphalts, rightly laid in Indianapolis Mr. Elliott declared that successful pavement depends at least 75 per cent upon the manner of laying. Half of the remaining 25 per cent depends upon the materials used, he said.

Indianapolis, he said, has a peculiarly difficult paving problem, because there Is a greater range of temperature here than in any other large city. For this reason Indianapolis has to lay harder esphalt pavements than any other city. The specifications have been hardened in the last two or three years. Many times in summer an asphalt pavement has a tempterature of 150 degrees. During a period of three weeks last summer the pavement heat never got below 120 degrees, which will wreck any asphalt street, the engineer said. The fact the nights do not cool off adds to the trouble. Mr. Freeman and Dr. Spencer drew from Mr. Elliott a statement that it is harder to cut into concrete pavements to make sewer, gas or water connections than into asphalt, because there is eight inches of concrete in the concrete type and only six inches of concrete in the asphalt type. It requires about ten days for a repair in a concrete pavement to set, the engineer said. The engineer said he had hoped the board might hold up paving and resurfacing resolutions until a large amount of work was in prospect so the board and himself might set aside time to intensively study each street so as to arrive at a proper conclusion as to its needs, but he feared this would result in big, outside contractors coming in and taking a great amount of work away from local contractors. Outside firms can not afford to compete with local firms unless they are Sure of getting a big amount of work so as to cover the cost of moving tleir equipment a long distance. “We have seven of as good street contractors here as there are in the country.” the engineer said, "and I don’t think wo should do anything to harm th?m, ns long as they are on the square, particularly since they have considerable money and time invested in Indianapolis. ’
