NEW DISGUISE QF‘CANNONISM’ CAUSES FIGHT Congressmen Point to Arbitrary Method on Expenses. WASHINGTON, March 27—Another congressional revolt against “Cannonism,” thi9 time against the dominant power of a committee instead of a single man, i6 seen in prospect by members of committees shorn of almost all authority by the House Appropriations Committee, under the new budget system. There is increasing bitterness among the committees that once decided the annual financial destinies of the various Government departments, at the influence now wielded by the Appropriations Committee, which is divided into sub committees to frame the expenditure bills for the executive branches of the Government. Members are murmuring about ‘‘too much centralization of power.” They are pointing to the summary action of the War Department sub-committee, recently in making drastic cuts in the size of the Army far below the numbers t sued by the Presid nt. They also recall '.he language of ore section of the bill, whiih, It is claimed, usurped the powers of the President Commander-in-chief of the Army by ordering troops home from the Panama Canal Zone, China, the Hawaiian Islands and the Rhine, through a provision that none of the money recommended for pay of troops should be used for more than a set numb:' of soldiers in those localities. Such a policy, they say, is born of too much authority. The section was eliml- ] rated on the floor of the House, but it is i natural, members say, that the majority \ party should stand ordinarily behind the recommendations of its appropriating committee. There're some who say the temper of certain members of the old committees, now empowered only to prepare a bill authorizing the expenditure, ; often sharply out later, by the Appropria- j tions Committee, threatens the existence | of the budget system. But conservative ; objectors to the powers vested in the Appropriations Committee are content to talk of changes in that provision. Official status to the czar-like power of the Appropriations Committee, much the same as that against which the House revolted in the shape of the authoring wielded by Speaker “Joe ’ Cannon under I the parliamentary rules of the body, was j given last week by Representative Long- I worth (Ohio), who was in the chair when a point of order was made agaius the provision In the Army bill forcing the return of troops from territories and foreign soli. Under an old ruling Mr. Longworth held anything was in order that would serve to reduce Government expenditures. v Since that there has been growing uneasiness as to what the committee might see fit to recommend to the House. The fight of Administration Chairman Kahn, of the Military Affairs Committee, against the havoc played with the Army policy outlined by his committee, once empowered to recommend appropriations for the military establishment as well, went almost f * naught. The Naval Affairs Committ • reduced the authorized “treaty navy'' t> the White House figures of 88.000 enlisted men. And yet the ap- ; propriation bill will not provide funds for more than 65.000, it is reported. It j Is expected out Wednesday.—Copyright, ; 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

Too Much Fraud in Soldiers’ Case Too much “beating about the bush” and “political Juggling” about what should bo done for returned soldiers and sailors and the practice of "bootlegging” were decried by the ReT. O. W. Ftfer In a sermon delivered yesterday before the congregation of the Central Avenue Methodist Church. “Some people,” declared the Rev. Mr. Flfer. “are even trying to erase the record of that lofty devotion which led the Nation in the World War and up to the unparalleled heights of common sacrifice. A recent periodical parades the aentimertt that ‘this country committed a crime when It sent a man Into war.’ Other influences are striving to destroy aorce of the great deeds of that time. The attack upon the eighteenth amendment illustrates the point, for it is an attack upon the combinations of thoroughly discredited forces.” Road Men Liable in Lesh’s Opinion An opinion received by John W. McCardie, chairman of the Indiana public service commission, from Attorney General l'. S. I-esh bolds that contractors men employed by the counties of the State operating road graders which scrape rocks and gravel on traction rails, may be held criminally liable for accidents that ensue. Complaints were made to the commission h the I'nion Traction Company which reports that several of its cars have narrowly escaped derailment by rocks and gravel scraped on its rails by graders which were not lifted in crossing the tracks. Mr. McCardle, in referring to the opinion, said that It is obvious serious accidents may result if the practice does not cease. Specific instances near Muncie were cited by the traction company. Whallen to Enter Legislature Race Thomas C. Whallon. local attorney, today announced his intention of seeking the Republican nomination for the State Legislature. Mr. Whallon served as city Judge from 190:; to 11*10. lie was appoirted to that position in 1003 to fill the unexpired term of Judge George W. Stubbs, then city judge, who was appointed by the Governor to fill a vacancy in the Juvenile Court. Judge Whallon was graduated from the Indiana Law School and from Hanover College. He is a member of the Shrine, Indianapolis Athletic Club and of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Week’s Truce in New and Beveridge Camps A truce exists between the camps of Senator Harry S.

National Coal Strike to Usher in Big Tie-up, Belief Desire for Long Threatened Showdown in Industrial Conflict Prevails.

WASHINGTON, March 27.—The national coal strike, ushering In the greatest industrial tie-up that the country ever has experienced, is inevitable and It will be a long-drawn-out affair, lasting three months, perhaps longer, according to a prediction made today by a Cabinet officer. A canvass of sentiment among other members of the Cabinet, minor officials In close touch with the situation, and labor leaders here revealed that this opinion Is shared generally In Washington. The Government is going to hold itself entirely aloof for the time being, it was said. Until the Administration's hani is forced, either through acts of violence, or by acute public suffering, no remedial lyjion will be taken and Washington will stand on the sidelines to watch the “test of strength" between operators and miners. DESIRE FOR LONG THREATENED SHOWDOWN. Out of the conflicting aims of all parties to the controversy the fact became increasingly apparent today that there Is a general desire that this shall be made the occasion for the long threatened showdown. Representatives of the mine owners in Washington frankly but privately declare they wish it now rather than Inter. From spokesmen for all three factions expressions of opinion as to why

the spring of 1922 should be made the season for the gigantic battle were obtained. They are as follows: The operators—Conditions never were better. There are huge reserve stocks of coal on hand, greater than in years, insuring no public suffering for weeks at least. Assurances have been received that the Administration is going to keep “hands off" so long as the public interest does not compel Intervention. The miners are emerging from a hard winter and the belief prevails that they are in a poor financial condiMon at this time to withstand a long siege. MINERS ASSERT STRENGTH AT PEAK. The miners—Conditions are favorable. The United Mine Workers, with a numerical strength of 515,000 are stronger now than ever before. They go into the strike with the assurances of actual and moral support from all organized labor, especially the American Federatoin of Labor. Also, labor generally has looked with discontented eyes on the era of wage cuts and believes this to be a favorable moment to try to check it once and for all. Th® Government—lt is spring and there are huge stocks of coal on hand to carry through the warm months, insuring little or no public suffering. The Government is willing to let the operators and miners battle it out this time to clarify the general atmosphere and find opt, “Who is who" in the industrial world.

REVIEWS WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY METHODISM Speaker Urges Need of. Financial Support for Centenary World Program. Saying the “work by Methodism has placed the heart of j the world in sympathetic touch with her ideals,” Dr. R. J. Wade of Chicago, cor- | responding secretary of the committee j on conservation and advance of the Methodist Church, made the opening address | today of a conference of pastors aud ofiij cers of the Indianapolis district of the ! church at the Roberts Park Methodist i Church. ] Dr. John Z. Moore, superintendent of ' the Pysng Yang district of the Methodist I Episcopal Church in Korea, gave the ; principal address this afternoon at the j conference. Dr. Wade will speak again j at the .night session, which will close the conference. | Dr. Wade review the work of the Meth--1 odist Church at home and abroad for | 1921. j "The Imperative work for today is the j completion of the Centenary world pro- ! gram of Intercession, evangelism, stew- | ardship and accented financial goals, the j fulfillment of which requires annually. | offerings to God totaling $23,000,000 for | ench year of the five-year period,” Dr. [Wade said. “In the vocabulary of Methodists there Is no such word as fail. Our Divine Leader Is with us and under His guidance and with nis help the confident expectation of the peoples of all lands must and shall be met. “The centenary Is not at an end. only a beginning. It was never intended to be jother than one in a series of advance for tile purpose of realizing the Kingdom of God in the earth. World conditions emphasize new needs and compel new and enlarged programs. The work already accomplished by Methodism has plated the heart of the world In sympathetic touch with her ideals. The hour has struck In which to consolidate our gains and stage the next advance. “In preparation for this advance, wo recommend anew study, in cooperation with and through the constituent boards of the entire field at home and abroad to the end the total task of Methodism, local worldwide, may visualized and set before the church. A program of Evangelism employing and vitalizing ail the normal agencies of the church for Itiig and quickening the religious life an<l the spiritual passion of every in ■ ' -of the church. “Such an aggressive and lnteuslve program will make each member an Evangelist w ith restless zeal for Christian cunquest. A program of education carried first to the quarterly conference aud then through the quarterly conference to even the smallest and most remote church, with the purpose of informing the entire membership with respect to the scope nnd purpose of all our benevolent enterprises. Such a program to be regarded not as a moans to a financial goal, but as an end in Itself. "The Indication of the doctrine of Christian stewardship, stewardship of life, of substance, of prayer. Is essential to the complete Christian life and not merely as a meuns for financing the program of the church. The enlistment of tiic laity of the church official and nonofficial in the Ideals and program of the church. For this purpose, we earnestly urge the use of th® 'unit system and the mobilization of ail lav forces for aggressive mol efficient service. "A committee of twenty-five members, both lay and clerical, has been appointed. This committee, in consultation with the president of the council, the chairman of tlie executive committee, the chalrmnn of tlio committee on conservation and 1 '"■’"cc. th® ®orr®spondlng secretary, •nd the treasurer, shall take all necessary c to carry out the recommendations hereby adopted. "To this committee shall be submitted, not later than Jan. 1, 1923, the results of tt-i study heretofore provided for, and on th® basis of tills submitted study, the committee shall prepare a program of advance for presentation to th® council at its annual meeting in .Tun®, 1923, or at a special meeting called f..r the purpose nt as early date ns may be practicable.'* Other speakers were Bishop F.

Reynolds, general secretary ot ; the Chamber of Commerce. "The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce is doing a rather nnusual thing in j holding a gathering of this kind in this j city.

This feeling Is j evidenced very well In sending to the r- J railers each month Heart O’ Trade, a j monthly magazine full of merchandising j helps. There is no effort made by the j Chamber to go out and preach 'Buy Indi- | anapolis GoodiS,’ but on the other hand I tho sales campaign is to be just as help- j fill as poslsble for the customers of th* j wholesale houses."

! INVESTIGATOR FINALLY FREE IN TIGER CASE Crampton Convinces Court He Was Officially Employed. Leonard Crampton, charged with operating a blind tiger was discharged by Judge Delbert O. Wllmeth today in city court. Crampton testified that he was engaged as a fteclal Investigator by the attorney general’s office to make investigation for the Church Federation and that the liquor found in his possion w-as part of tile “evidence” he had so gathered. He did not explain why he ran when the policeman approached him while he and two other men were fighting on the Statehouse lawn. Crampton was covered with blood when brought to police headquarters on the afternoon of Feb. 7. | The court suggested that it might be well for Crampton to have a represen- | tative of the attorney general's office in I court to testify In regard to his being i employed to make Investigations. The j trial was delayed for a time and twice | Judge Wilmeth left the bench to answer telephone calls from the attorney gen ! eral's office. Finally a Mr. McCord, from | that office, appeared In court and told i the Judge, Crampton had been employed | to make Investigations into the liquor | business. Crampton explained the battle ! by saying his opponents were bootleggers who had tried to stop him while he was on the way to the attorney general's offlcS with the bottle of evidence. The Crampton case attracted considerable atcntlon, because of the unusually long continuance granted in the case, the charges being continued on Feb. 8 until March 22. On that date Crampton did not appear in court and his bond of SI,OOO was forfeited. However, t’is forfeiture was set aside whn Campton appeared in court today. Charges of drunkenness against tho special Investigator ! were dismissed. Os th® twenty-four blind tlgar cases In j city court todav, eight were continued, i six were dlscbat ged and nine were found guilty. Those discharged wen John; Jones, Frank Harding, David Mountjoy, Leland Crampton, Fannie White and Sander Kotoi.

i \ j t-A - v MRS. ELVA CAULK INS. “I have gained thirty pounds since taking Tanlac and never felt better in my life than I do now. Mother says she hasn t seen me looking go well since I was a girl,” sa’'d Mrs. Elva Caulkins, 803 Blandina street, Utica, N. Y. “For eighteen long years I suffered from stomach trouble and s’uggish liver, and during all that time I aardiy knew what a well day was. As I almost starved myself trying to avoid indigestion, I fell off until I was hardly more than a shadow, and teas so weak I was barely a~le to drag myself around the house. Asa result of my long suffering I became almost a nervous wreck. “This was the condition I was in when I started taking Tanlac, but today I am strong and well, feeling and looking like a different person from what I did a short time ago. It is no wonder to me that so many people praise Tanlac to the skies.” Tflnlae is sold in Indianapolis at Hook's Dependable Drug Stores and leading druggists everywhere.—Advertlsemcnt.

MEAT INJURIOUS TO THE KIDNEYS Take a tablespoonful of Salts ifj Back hurts or Bladder j bothers. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood Is filled with uric acid, says a wellknown authority, who warns us to be -constantly on guard*against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get slug gish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and foe! like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the nights; when you hare severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Saits; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate dogged kidneys, to neutralize tho acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and biadder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithla-water drink, and nobobdy can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.— Advertisement.
