SEYMOUR GIRL LOSES LIFE IN MAD STREAM Whole Family in Auto Takes Plunge Into Swirling Flood. Special to The Times. SEYMOUR. Ind.. March 16.—Edna Simon. 16. is dead from drowning and her fatter and mother and 14-year-old sister are suffering from exposure today as a result of their harrowing experience when their automobile plunged into the flood waters of White River. The three survivors were in the water more than three hours before they were rescued. Ben Simon, a merchant was driving with his wife and daughters, inspecting the flooded district when the car left the road and was carried a short distance downstream. A farmer*threw a rope with which the automobile was secured. Edna Simon attempted to grasp the rope but was carried downstream. Her-body has not been recovered. While hundreds attracted to the scene looked on helplessly a rescue party was assembled and two men put out in a boat, nut the skiff capsized in the swirling current, one rescuer swimming ashore and the other reaching the submerged automobile, to which the remaining three Simons were clinging. The second attempt to reach the machine by boat was successful, but the swift current overturned the craft on the return trip, immersing the six occupants in the chilly waters. The three rescuers managed to reach the road and Marie Simon swam back to the automobile, but Mr. and Mrs. Simon were swept downstream and were given up for lost. Marie was rescued when a rope was thrown to her. which she fastened about her waist. Some time later cries of “help” were heard far down-stream. After a battle with the swift-running water rescuers found Simon, up to his chin in water, holding the unconscious form of his wife above the tide. They were taken ashore safely. Mrs. Simon was in a crit-1 leal condition throughout the night as a result of the nightmare ordeal, but it was said today that she will recover. | Simon and the daughter are not in se- I rious condition. 1 Search was contir.ned for Edna Simon's lody today, but because of the yise of the flood waters and soggy condition of the river's banks, it was impossible for searching parties to approach the stream too closely.

COST OF COAL TO REGULATE PRICE OF ICE Kokomo Man Renamed State Dealers’ Head—A. B. Swartz, Indianapolis, Secretary. Mark A.

Swartz of Indianapols, - was elected secretary of the association, succeeding Harvey Coonse of this city. President Brown said the price of Ice this summer will be regulated by the coal situatoin. No class of men Is watching the miners’ wage dispute with more in* terest than ice manufacturers, he said. A. W. Broecken, Chicago, a director of the National Association of Ice Industries, in a talk before the convention, said the average family pays an ice bill of $16.40 annually. In a discussion of the most economic means of delivering ice it developed that some dealers find the horse or mule drawn wagon an advantage over the motor dealer declared horse and mule d-Im-ry much cheaper. In an adress at the annual dinner of the ice dealer* last night, Dick Miller, president of tbr City Trust Company, declared that “in these days of Industrial depression we are simply reaping the whirlwind of indolence and waste of time whie hprevaiied when factories were running fall speed.” The speaker said the public would not be so ready to crltize utilities corporations if these concerns would “lay their cards” on the table and take the public Into their confidence. He urged the practice of the “Golden Rale” In the Ice business. Jarvis to Address South Side League The regular meeting of the South Side Civic League will be held in Garfield Hall tomorrow night.

HOLD-UP MEN SCOFF AT $lO AS SMALL CHANGE Te\l Victim to ‘Keep It and Beat If if That’s All He Has. Indianapolis hold-up men are uot pikers. Pride in the profession prevents them from Imposing on widows and orphans sometimes, or bothering ' with small change. When William Essidgke. a grocer, 1409 North Missouri street, produced about sl6 in small change, h part of the proceeds of his day’s business which he was taking home last night, cme of two stick-up artists who held him \lp looked disdainfully at the money and told him to put it back in his pocket and “beat It.” Essidgke did. , The hold-up occurred art about 10:30 o’clock near the Missouri street address. The garage of D. B. Webster, 3829 Graceland avenue, was broken into by automebile thieves and an effort made to remove the machine. A lock on a rear wheel prevented it. The police be- j lieve us attempt was made by the same j persons who have been committing slmi- I lar depredations in the neighborhood. Four automobiles were stolen, one of which was found and returned to the owner by the police after its battery and ’ accessories had been removed. The car recovered was the property of Clyde C. Bowers, 2019 Central avenue. It was stolen from in front of 2007 Talbott avenue. and found in Forty-Sixth street, two squares east of the Monon Railroad. A Ford l coupe belonging to Rebecca Towell, 2912 North New Jersey street, was stolen pear the corner of North and Pennsylvania street. A Buick automo- ] bile, the property of Wiley Archibald, ■ 142 North Meridian street, and a Ford 1 belonging to the Brownlee Manufacturing j Company also were stolen. Mrs. Agnes Goedeker was tbo victim, of purse snatchers about 10:30 o’clock j near Ray and Division streets One man . sezed her and another took her purse, which contained $5.75. Noah Fritz, 913 Scioto street, reported the disappearance of $43.08 belonging to the Colored United Brothers Lodge, of which he is treasurer. Fritz told police he carried the money in a sack in his ,hip pocket to a dance at Tomlinson Hall, i After a dance and taxi ride the proceeds were gone. Fritz admitted having im''lbed “white mule.” Fritz is worried over w t some of the inquisitive trethren may think. Mrs. Lena James. 602 Euclid avenue, j asked the police to look for her sister, ' Mary Kegerice, 13, who disappeared from her home in Brownsburg yesterday. The j girl Is said to have run away from home : and is thought to have come to Indian- j apoli*. The evidence in the easf of Ruh'ata Morse, negress, disappeared from police headquarters yesterday and police are at loss to account for it. Officers were counting on a pan of white mule which had been carefully guarded, to seal the Morse woman's fate, following a raid on her home at 62S1A East Washington street. More than 100 quarts of beer and a quautity of “white mule” were found in a raid on the home of William Harris, 501 South Senate avenue. Harris escaped. Other arrests made for liquor law violations were: John Clark, 229 Allegheny street: Lew Jludson, 522 West Maryland street; Joseph Becker, 649 Eddy street; Katherine Rhule, 831 North Illinois street; Walter Thomas. 2731 North Capitol avenue, and John Debrillo, 1034 West Morris street. Mrs. May Whipple, who was arrested on a charge of shoplifting, entered a plea of guilty and was fined $1 in police court yesterday. Mrs. Whipple gave her address as 1613 Ashland avenue. Moses Whipple, of that address, denied that his wife's name is May. Raymond Strong, 19. Hammond; Waudell Hatch, 16, Kaftsas City, Mo., and George Burns, 16 Chicago, are held by the police on charges of vagrancy. Their bonds were fixed at $5,000 each. Police believe they are implicated in local robberies.

MAY USE DATA OBTAINED HERE IN CEMENT CASE (Continned From Fnge One.) been apparent in many eases and the Federal Courts have been guided by results to some extent, he said. If the State highway commission had been able to buy cement for Indiana r ad work at mill delivery prices, taking care of its own deliveries, many thousands of dollars could have been saved. Cement companies have been willing to quote only prices with the freight included. In the case of the Louisville Cement Company, whose plant is located at Speeds. Ind., the company gave the State a slight reduction and, has agreed to allow shipment by traction which will mean an additional saving. One of the most startling pieces of evidence In the hands of the attorney gereral it that furnished by a large con tractor who obtained cement prices for cement from eight companies in widely separated parts of the country. Despite the wide variance In freight charges, each of these companies submitted bids alike to the dollar and cent, no mill prices being quoted. Attorney General Lesli said this evidence will be submitted to the Federal Government. The highway commission bought 99,676 barrels of cement from the Marquette Cbmpany, °f La Salle, 111., at $2.41 a barret. The Marquette Company is one of those Indicted by the Federal Government tn the fight against the price fixing combination. The Louisville company, which was not indicted, received a contract to furnish 111,368 barrels at $2.36. Whfle no evidence of culhislon Is np parent In the last bids received, which were said to have broken to some extent the price fixing comblantion, It is apparent that the difference in the price of the Marquette Company’s bid and that of the Louisville Compary’s price does not measure up to the difference in transportation costs. The Louisville Company's piant is located in Indiana less than 100 miles from Indianapolis while the Marquette plant is approximately twice the distance. Five cents difference in the price delivered for use on the National Road, for tha’ reason, does not appear sufficient. How ever, the State highway commission foeis gratified, according to John Williams, auditor, in receiving the concessions which It has in view of the otherwise unbroken price fixing alliance. *lf it were possible for the State highway commission and private cement bnyers to obtain supplies at the mill nearest to the point where wanted for use—for instance, if the State could buy cement from the Indiana Portland Cement Company at Greencastle on a basis of SI.BO a barrel plus sack cost, on which basis the Wisconsin State highway commission obtained a contract with the Marquette company—tranrnortatlon costs would be small. The State, however, cannot do that, but would h.v e to pay the same net price delivered lat any other company located farth* f away would demand. "Obviously,” Mr. Les’i said, “the problem Is one which the State cannot handle. It Is Interstate and not Intrastate." The score of the Investigation by the Federal Government may show that in-ter-related capital interested in the railroad and steel properties also may be involved, according to the belief of highway commission officials.

PRESIDENT OF BANK UNLOADS BAD PLEDGES _ t Depositors of Dickinson Trust , Company Said to Be Safe. Special to The Times. RICHMOND, Ind., March Id.—Depositors of the Dickinson Trust Company continued a run on the bank today as a result of its being closed by Charles W. Camp, State bank commissioner. The patrons were uot entirely satisfied with Camp's assurance that they would not lose any money. President Edgar F. Hiatt of the company was to be removed from office because he ran $660,000 in worthless securities into the bank without the knowledge of the directors. Those backing the bank are all wealthy, Camp said, and they likely will take up, the securities in question. i Depositors of the closed Dickinson Trust Company of Richmond stand no chance to lose, Charles W. Camp, State bank commissioner, said today, and the institution, one of the largest of its kind in Richmond, probably will be reopened within two weeks. Edgar F. Hiatt, president, unknown to the directors, has unloaded $660,U00 in undesirable securities on the trust company In the last six months, it was said. State examiners are working on the books of the trust company, Mr. Camp said, and he will return to Richmond after the examiners finish checking up the situation and put whatever pressure is necessary on persons owning the bank to have the bank reopened with anew president and new officers. A run on the bank was met yesterday afternoon but no announcement of the state of affairs was forthcoming at 3 o'clock, the closing hour. The failure of the Dickinson Trust Company is the fifth in Indiana since j the beginning of the fiscal year, Qct. 1. 1921, Mr. Camp said. Three of the total i are accounted for in the failure at Cory- j don of the CorydoD National Bank, Trust Company and Elizabeth Bank. Dealings in questionable securities, particularly in Mississippi lands are responsible for the condition of the company, it is said. Examiners from the State banking department have been going over the records for the past two ' weeks, but no suspicion of the real condition of the affairs of the company existed in Richmond. Commissioner Camp Issued the following statement: “A recent examination of the Dickinson Ti;ust Company by State Bank Examiner \V. Cox disclosed the fact that within the last four or five months. President Edward F. Hiatt had, without the knowledge of any of the directors or other officers, unloaded on the company undesirable securities amounting to approximately $600,000. “The interests of the depositors demand that the bank be closed and that it be kept closed until assets are completely removed and another president shall be installed. It is believed that the board of directors, who are men of wealth and high standing, can arrange with other stockholders to take out the bad assets with a view of reopening the bank \ in a few days. “in any Vvent the depositors have no cause for alarm, as their interests are i believed to be fully protected and no loss is likely to result to them.”

OPERATORS TO ANSWER RAISE BID WITH CUT (Cortirtned From Page One.) mpnt's beat hope of getting bituminous operators to agree to confer with miners lies in bringing about a quick agreement in the anthracite field. Delegates here doubted whether the Influence of even the Secretary of Labor could avert a temporary suspension in the anthracite fields. There are many subjects to be settled before anew agreement can tie signed and the present. ngoi*inent expires April 1. Furthermore, neither miners nor operators seem particularly averse to the wa!k-out and geneally the opinion was the negotiations would last six weeks. The conference was temporarily adjourned today while operators considered the demands of miners for a wage increase extension of the eight-hour day and the “cheek-off'' system. Operators will present their counter proposals, expected to call for a wage reduction Instead of an increase, tomorrow. The influence of the anthracite negotiations on the bltumious disagreement lies In: The fact that anthracite operators are on hand largo stores of steam size coal. The fact that anthrclte operators are witling to meet with miners to diseuss new wage agreements while hitumfnous operators seem set against such a course. If the present stores of anthracite steam coal were Increased through further production, anthracite might displace bltnmosis in some Industrial plants, thereby hurting the bituminous market. The Government counts on bituminous opera, tors taking note of tills. President John L. Lewis and othei officials of the United Mine Workers hes withheld comment on the statement of Frank Farrington, Illinois miners' president. that he would meet Illinois operators in separate negotiations unless interstate negotiations were arranged. Privately, however, many of the union officials said they believed Farrington is bluffing.

‘BONUS’ COST PUT AT $4,098,719,350; 20 YEARS TO PAY (Continned From Page One.) have been discharged. These death payments are estimated on a gradual ascending scale from $27,016,000 in 1928 to $34,251,000 in 1942. In 1945 the insurance ‘‘bonus’’ certificates mature and payment of $3.154.823,350 will be required. The totals of cost of the “bonus” are summarized: Cash, $16,000,000; certificates deaths, $577,571,000; maturity, $3,154,823,350; vocational training, $52,825,000; farm and home all $l<Sfi.OOO.OOO: land settlement, $112,000.0(0. Total, $1,008,719,650. The estimate of these eligible for the bonus Is placed by the committee at 4,458,199. The service period was from April 16, 1917, to June 30, 1919, a total of 816 davs. The estimate average number of days of service for the Army was 389, Navy, 470, Marine Corps, 440. From, each of those totals of days of service is deducted sixty days which were covered. In a previous bottim payment. The total number of those who served was 4,650,500 in the Army, 551,736 in the Navy and 88,101 in Marine Corps. Excluded classes from tha “bonus” total; Army, 717,500; Navy, 107,228; Marines, 7,410. These estimates leave the number of those entitled to the present “bonus": Army, 3,933,000; Navy, 444,508; Marines, 80,891. The majority of the committee stated adoption of the cash "bonus” plan under previous drafts of “bonus” legislation would have entailed too great a drai i upon the Treasury without special taxes to raise the funds and that objections to additional taxes could not be overcome. “It was felt, however, said the cttr>mittee report, “that the soldiers who wftre In need should be given an opportunity to obtain aid.” With this idea in view, the committee workhd out its plan of the adjusted service certificate which was given a cash loan value in the bands of the soldier.

ASSERTS CITY SHOULD INSIST ON GUARANTEE Former Board of Works Clerk Urges Importance of Deposit. Opposition to departure from the present requirement that contractors put up deposits to guarantee the life of street, alley, sewer and sidewalk Improvements for certain periods was expressed by Frank J. Noll, Jr., State Representative from Marion County, and clerk of the board of public works from 1909 to 1915, in a letter to the present board of public works. At a meeting of the board with local contractors last week it was suggested by someone, bv whom has never been announced—the * board might receive lower bids on street Improvements if the guarantee were not required. Mr. Noll’s view’s are as follows: “Having learned it has been suggested to your board the specifications for street improvements be changed so as to eliminate the present form of guarantee which provides for the deposit of street improvement bonds to guarantee the malntainence and repair of public improvement work for the term of the guarantee, I feel it my duty to advise you of conditions that existed some years ago when I was clerk of the board of public works when surety bonds were accepted on some classes of work as a guarantee for maintenance and repair. PRACTICE OF LONG STANDING. “For at least thirty years the city has been requiring the street improvement bonds as a guarantee on all so-called permanently improved streets, but, for a great many years, surety bonds w’ere accepted as a guarantee on other improvements such as sewers, sidewalks, curbing and gravel street. Our experience was that we never had any difficulty, whatever, in securing repairs to the permanently improved streets durthe guarantee period and never had any complaints from property owners about the condition of the streets during the guarantee period for the reason that contractors made repairs at regular intervals so as to secure the release of the interest coupons attached to the guarantee bonds and the final release of the bonds at the end of the guarantee period. “However, In the cast of all other Improvements, and particularly sidewalks and curbing, the question of repairs during the guarantee period was one of the greatest troubles that the board of public works had. Property owner continually were complaining about broken cement blocks in Jhe sidewalks, people were stumbling over them continually, many damage suits against the city were bothering the legal department and people Would complain about the same defective sidewalk as much as a dozen times and ' naturally get out of patience with the board of works. We were accused of inefficiency or a lack of desire to force the surety company to mako repairs. PROPERTY OWNERS WERE SKEPTICAL. “While were unable to make many of the property owners believe It, the truth of the matter was we were spending a great deal of time trying to force these i repairs, but we simply could not get it done. The surety companies were uot in the business of repairing sidewalks and would not do it. This situation finally lecu me so burdensome to the board of public works and the board's clerks 1 suggested they change the specifications so as to provide for the same form of | guarantee for all other lmproveraesits as was la effect for permanently Improved etrects, which had been so successful, and which change was made. “This action eliminated all of our and worry about repairs to improvements, as it was necessary for the contractor to obtain release from the I city clval engineer zbowlng the streets had been inspected and repairs made if necessary, beluie the interest coupons, or bonds, would be released to him. This also resulted In a better class of work, ash contractor realized he could not afford to take any chances with his own money on deposit as a guarantee for tho work. Many times when defective conditions In Improvements were called to our attention and wo undertook to optaln repairs by those contractor's re- i sponsible for the work, we learned not only had ttn contractors gone out of business, but, In many cases, the surety j companies had failed. “It was an easy matter for an irrespon- i sible contractor to get by with cheap,; defective construction and saddle the expense of repairs upon tho city. “Therefore, it appears to me If the ; safeguard of this street Improvement guarantee fund Is removed, it might re- \ suit In n poor quality of work.” This letter was referred to John L, I Elliott, city civil engineer by the board.*l Mr. Elliott replied. “I would strongly ad- ] vise the board take no steps to eliminate such a guarantee. The elimination of ] this guarantee I feel would make trouble for the city in obtaining proper repairs and would also remove one of the means of obtaining better work, as no con tractor desires to lose any portion of his guarantee through poor workmanship. “I believe If your board were to advise I with the contractors regarding this matter you would find the majority of them would be in favor of keeping the guarantee ns at present." 1

SAYS THEATER FOLK DESPISE UNCLEAN PLAYS Clergyman Suggests Cure for Evil Is to Ignore Immoral Shows. Declaring the men and women of the stage “hate filth” and that it is the duty of theater patrons to visit theaters and movie shows where entertainments of good influences are presented, the Rev. Clarence Wyatt Bispham, at today’s noon Lenten service at Christ Church on the Circle, discussed the relations of the church and the stage as weU as the church and the movies. The Rev. Sir. Bispham branded sex plays as the “damnable triangle” where the emphasis is placed on the flesh and the devil. “Whose fault Is It?” he asked. “I will talk plainly. Y'our fault and mine. Theaters are not run merely for pleasure. They are operated for you. We furnish the money. I know actors and actresses hate filth. Let us go to the plays and the moving picture shows which have good influences and let us keep away from the other kind.” * The Rev. Bispham spoke of a great religious meeting which was held ago In Philadelphia, when Joseph Jefferson conducted services from the siage in the presence of the ministers of all faiths. “Out of that meeting came the Sarah Bushman Home,” he said, “A home where actresses may live and enjoy themselves in the right surroundings while playing Philadelphia. I wonder if yon have ever asked yourself what the actor does with his time between performances. Give the people of the stage the glad hand because they are men and women just like all of us. “The church made an Important discovery in 1874, and that discovery was the players are of the same flesh and blood as you and I. The players are not to be put Into a separate class as the scarlet woman is placed." The Rev. Mr. Bispham spoke of the great love that the players have for the Church of the Transfiguration in New York City and of the splendid work being done by the Actors’ Church Alliance. C, Roltare Eggleston, manager of B. F. Keith's Theater, and members of several companies playing the city attended the service. At noon tomorrow A. Q.

Property owners by the dozen have been calling at the city assessment bureau to register protests against the amounts they will to pay for the asphalt paving of Slielby street from Prospect street to the first alley south of Georgia street. "This is one of the paving contracts let and finished during the Jewett administration, despite the desire of citizens the improvement should be postponed until lower prices prevailed. Much of the protest is coming from persons assessed for Intersections. Under the present street paving law all persons living on cross streets for a distance of a block in each direction must pay half the cost of paving the intersection of their street with that being Improved. The Jewett administration did not send out notices to persons thus assessable. Persons who lived on the street being improved were the only ones to receive notice that the Improvement was to be made. Therefore, those assessed for Intersections complain, that they have had something crammed down their throats wiflujnt being notified. While the Jewett administration had the street- improved, it left to the Shank administration the Job of making the people pay for it. The total cost of the contract, which was let to the Union Asphalt Construction Company, was $56,551. The assessment roll was modified by the board of public works three times before it finally was adopted, in efforts to placate property owners who thought they were unfairly charged. There are approximately 1,300 owners on the roll. They must pay before April 1 or take the Barrett law in order to keep from being delinquent. Judge Asks to Succeed Himself Frank J.

SAYS PARTISAN POLITIQS ENDS AT SEASHORE Beveridge Tells Kokomo Kiwanians Passing on Treaty Most Serious Duty. Special to The Times. KOKOMO, Ind., March 16. —In voting for the ratification of a treaty a Senator j must use his own judgment, realizing that what he does cannot be undone; that it binds the Nation permanently and unalterably affects the future of every man. woman and child in the republic, Albert J. Beveridge, candidate for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate, declared in a speech before the Kiwanis Club here today. “Most Important of the Senate’s executive powers and duties is that concerning treaties,” Mr. Beveridge said. “The treayt-making provision of the ! Constitution is original with and peculiar to the United States. “It is distinctively*- American, and is i not Only totally unlike, but postively the reverse of the treaty-making method ! of the nations with which we come into most frequent contact. PASSING ON A TREATY MOST SERIOUS DUTY. “By far the most Important and serious duty which a Senator must discharge is that, of passing on a treaty; because when the Senate ratifies a treaty it be- | comes a contract with another nation, j and can not be repealed, amended, or modified in any way thereafter. "A bill, if passed and approved, becomes a law; but at the very next ses- ; sion Congress can repeal or amend that law, and often does so. It freqently is found that a law which Congress believes , wise and practical, and which the people demand, soon turns out to be unwise and impracticable; and the people as earnestly wish to get rid of it as they earnestly wished its enactment. So Congress strikes it from the statute books. “But this cannot be done in the case of a treaty. No matter how unwise it may prove to be, no matter how much the people desire to be relieved of it it cannot be overthrown, or changed, or shaken. There it is, and there it remains. SHOULD GIVE WEIGHT TO PUBLIC OPINION. “So in passing upon a treaty a Senator acts from a fundamentally different point of view than he does when merely voting on an ordinary law. In the enactment of a mere statute, a Senator should give great weight to public opinion, though even then such Influence should never absolutely control him. Next year, if public opinion changes, he can j change accordingly and undo what he j did in obdic-nie to public opinion the j year before. “But the ratification of a treaty is far I different; if the public opinion* of today I Is reversed tomorrow the Senator can i not follow this altered sentiment and j undo what he did In ratifying the treaty. ! "Citizens must get this vital distinction firmly in mind—lndeed, it cannot be too often repeated: An ordinary law can be repealed or amended, while a treaty can never be repealed or amended. “In passing upon treaties there should i be no trace of partisanship. In the con- j templation of the constitution there can i be no such thing as ‘party action’ upon treaties. “To Tine np' Senators on such subjects according to partisan affiliation is as absurd as It is contrary to the pnlHc interests. “Party politics stops at the seashore. On this one subject a Senator should act on his own Judgment, realizing that what he does cannot be undone; that it binds the Nation permanently, and unalterably affects the future of every man, woman and child in the republic.”
