DESIRES U. S. TO DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION Statistician Wishes Government to Conduct Clearing House. CONFERS WITH HARDING WASHINGTON, March 30.—R0,,=r W. Babson, economist and statistician, in a report, submitted t%thc- President, recommends that a central clearing house for Government material be fifrmed, so that the wealth of information which the Government collects might be concentrated and available to business men, newspapers and other interests. Mr. Babson is chairman of a committee formed some time ago to investigate the situation. The plan suggests a chief statistician or a librarian for all Federal branches be directly unaer the Cabinet and mentions the name of Herbert Ir Brown, now it the head of the Bureau of Efficiency, for the post. Through his work on the bureau. Mr. Brown is thoroughly familiar vi'h-NtheL different Federal departments and the strong and weak pbints of each. CABBIES FEANS TO* S?. Mr. Babson visited the White House and also conferred with Vice President Coolidge and Senator Smoot in reference to the plan. He feels that not only would the business men b e able to avail themselves of much valuable Government material, but also would be saved the constant annoyances of duplicate questionnaires often sent out by several different departments to the same organization. Asa practical suggestion for putting the clearing house in force the committee recommends among other things the following: The various statistical libraries now scattered throughout the departnqjpts should be combined Into one lnter-de-pifrtmental statistical library. For the purpose of coordination, there should be appointed by the President's Cabinet a statistical librarian who will, be an obarge, and who will be directly under the President’s Cabinet, serving all equally and being amenable to no one else. This librarian would compile no statistics himself, but would perform four functions as follows: 1. iwe a- knowledge of all statistics being compiled by the Federal Government; where they are located and by whom they are 6eing compiled. In this way ho would act as a train dispatcher and immediately upon request rut the Administration or any inquirer in touch with the preper bureau when inquiries arise. AUTHORITY TO DECIDE CONFLICTS. 2. Have the authority of interpreting the law under which this reorganization would take pla-.?, and decide jurisdictional conflicts between statisticians of the various departments. „ 3. Serve as a clearing house on all ques- • tionnaires sent out by different departments. 4. The criticism frequently has been 4hade that since each department Is entrusted with promoting and pleading some special interest the figures produced by any such department are opened to the charge of bias. The statistics, therefore, would be received with much confidence if they were subject to an independent audit. This, of course, need not be constant or complete, but could be applied at intervals somewhat on the principle of the “call” of the national bank comptroller. If such an audit were provided, it should be under this librarian.—Copyright, 1922, -by Public Ledger Company.

BEVERIDGE TO CUT EXPENSES IN PRIMARY (Continued From Fage One.) the State come to the hotel at any hodr, day or night. Thl6 Is a point considered by political managers in locating their headquarters in hotels.” On a basis oFthe lowest rate per diem that the Severin has, two dollars, the campaign 'headquarters of Senator New would cost for two months. It Is estimated, between s7*3o and SBOO. Candidates are required to file an account of expenditures with the State, btrt this usually is not dirulged until after the primary. Mr. Beveridge made the following staement: “Acting for myself, but with the full and hearty concurrence of my committee, its treasurer, and my manager, I make this announcement: **L That on March 30, the so-called ‘Beveridge at the Claypool Hotel, will be removed to the law offices of my manager, Maj. Clarence R. Martin, in the Fletcher Savings and Trust buildup./Major Martin, as I have heretofore publicly stated many times, gives his services without any compensation whatever, direct or Indirect, present or prospective. "2. That I shall henceforth publish •weekly a full statement under my oath of the total amount expended by Vine during the preceding week, together with the specific items thereof; and tfcat'dhe treasurer appointed by my committee, as the law requires. Mr. Charles N. Williams, president of the Farmers’ Trust Company, will also publish weekly a similar statement under oath of the total amount expended during the preceding week by my committee in my behs’ # . together with the items thereof. “3. /hat I shall, in the newspapers of Monday, April 3, publish a similar statement of all expenses already made or incurred, and that the treasurer of my committee will do the same as to the total amount already spent in my behalf, together with the specific Items thereof.” * By setting an example, Mr. Beveridge says he has issi;*d a challenge to his opponent to course. “Five times,” he said, “I have publicly asked my opponent, with his committee to meet me with my committee, in friendly conference, agree in good faith on a limit to our campaign expenses, and to appoint a Joint board to see that our friends everywhere carry out our agreement. My opponent refuses this reasonable request, made in all amity an 1 good will.” Three issues have developed in the campaign, Senator Beveridge. d#clared. These, he said, are: 1. Which candidate is best equipped for the senatorial work that must be done during the coming six years? 2. Which candidate, as the head of the Republican ticket, can draw most vot<y to the whole ticket, county, congressional and State, at the election In November? 3. Shall the expenditure of money In this primary contest be curtailed or shall candidates be permitted to spend without limit? ' ' Since the begining of his campaign Mr. Beveridge has stressed the importance of limiting campaign expenditures. Follow a first request for a meeting of the committees of the rival candidates; the chairman of the New forces indicated that no such meeting would be held. * KEVERIDGE DEVIATES FROM CAMPAIGN CUSTOM. Just what part the expense of campaigning, hotel expenditures are. Is a* matter of conjecture. Three rooms such as those used by the Beveridge camped;™ directors under ordinary clrcum- j stain's would eo't a conp|(le-nMe amount. Th ■ giving up >if \ headquarters by the Beveridge forces is a de- .

Woof! Woof! Woof! Tom an 9 Jerry! We're From Hobo Seminary CHICAGO, March 30.—Hobo College and the University of Chicago planned an exchange of professorships today. Visit of Professor Robert Feck and C. W. Burgess of the University of Chicago to Hobo College after “local color,” led ta the proposal of “professor usapp*" by Dr. Ben. L. Beltman and James Eads Howe, deans of the seat^ of learning of the Knights of the Road. According to Relfman, “Prof.” Mike Smith, known to Intimates as “Chinatown Willie,” and “Prof.” Frank Gibbons, known as “Chicago Red,” will address the University sociology classes. Subjects:. “Unemployment Am”-. Migratory Laborers” and “I tophouses.”

; parture from the customary method of j campaigning. ! The suite occupied by the New forces jin the Severla Hotel is on the fourth floor jitst above the rooms of the ReI publican State committee, and consists of or seven rooms. This set of rooms is probably more expensive than those •>sed by headquarters for Be’erldge. The j Beveridge headquarters hat. had In the past from four to half a dozen persons employed while approt.lmately twice that nflmber have been employed at the , New headquarters. i "Consider the argument that my op- ! ponent Is compelled to advertise and go | to other large expense because, for more than a year, I have been speaking on non-rolitlcal subjects,” Mr. Beveridge ■ said. “The talks I have made have been lln response to invitations, often ergent, and many times repeated, from bar associations, ministerial associations, business men's organizations, women’s clubs, and the like, vdthout solicitation or any kind of insplrjt’on from me. This fact will be verified by scores of lawyers, preachers, women and business men all i over Indiana. “Moreover, at not sue of the places where I have made \hese talks was the senatorship, . or any political subject whaeyer, dftemsed even privately. Although frequent and 'abundant opporI tunltv was afforded, I absolutely declined to so much as converse on political topics of any kind. . “Also, these same addresses were given all over the Nation—for instance, at Boston and Denver, Chicago, and Louisville, NewyYork and Omaha, Philadelphia and Kansas City, Norfolk and St. Louis, Cln- ! cUinatl and Detroit, Milwaukee and Buffalo, Wichita and Atlantic City; and I ! have had to decline similar invitations from Y'ermont to California. Were these meetings of lawyers and church people In qther States gotten up as part of a deep and subtle plan to advance a senatorial candidacy months and years in the futtire? “Yet, the meetings comjjJalned of In Indiana were of precisely the same kind, and the addresses there made were identical with those delivered throughout the [ Republic. Is the fact that the people wish Ito hear about the Constitution. th e Bible, th e Senate, oratory, Americanism and the like, and think me competent to speak to them such subjects, any excuse for enormous campaign expenditures by or on behalf of my opponent!

POINTS TO NEW’S POLITICAL ACTIVITIES. “Consider, on tb other hand, the preparations of my r ponent: Scores of ‘conferences with paity leaders,’ as the newspapers * ...ase If. have been held. Dinners have been gi*en to ‘party workerg.’ Thousands of letters have been written to thousands of person*. Personal and seductive attention has been bestowed on Republican editors; and the press has reyCatedly informed the publtc that these powerful and most useful men wer e ’line-up’ for my opponent. Other notorious devices were outlined in my Ft. Wayne speech. And most of this has been going on for at least sixteen months—indeed, ever since the election of 1920. • “Yet. In despite of It, we are now told that heavy expenditures are essential to my opponent's campaign; and it appears tC;*t tactics of silence are to be adopted cr a ’barrage of ridicule' is presently to be thrown out to overcome the effect of the public disapproval of such methods, and to conceal the further practice of such methods. “It Is for voter* to decide. Their verdict at the ballot box. May 3, will approve or disapprove of the collection and disbursement of vast sums of cash to secure a Senatorial nomination In Indiana; and that verdict will be an example for every other State in the Union.”

Four Boys Found in Farm Home Arrested Four boys were caught by an armed posse of farmers early today in the country home of George E. Lockwood, one mile -yiorth of Clermont. Mr. Lockwood lives sit 1321 Nx>rth Meridian street. Two of the boys, who are seventeen years old. are held at the police station on . the charge of vagrancy.' The other two were sent to the Detention Home and will be tried in Juvenile Court. Farmers discovered numeftms depredations had been committed at the Lockwood home and were on the watch for trespassers. They saw smoke curling from the chimney. When they went to the house, the four boys were found inside. It was not'necessary to use the shotgun with which the men were armed. At the city prison, the two older boys gave their names as Oscar Underwood, 1121 Easb v Pratt street, and Ed Proctor, 720 North Pershing avenue. The arrests were made by motor policemen.

Negress Sentenced for Killing Husband Mildred Wilson, negress, was sentenced today to the Indiana Women’s Prison for from two to twenty-one years on a charge of manslaughter in Criminal Court by Judge James A. Collins. The Wilson woman killed her husband, James Wilson, on the night of Dee. 1, 1921, by shooting him. She was allowed to enter a plea of guilty to manslaughter with the permission of the State. She had been charged with murder In the first degree. 2 Men Blown to Bits in Explosives’ Blast OAKLAND, Cal..

EMPLOYMENT Conditions in . STATE IMPROVE Larger Cities Reporting BAter Situation of s Labor. NEARING PRE-WAR BASIS Employment conditions in Indiana are improved, according to reports from many of the larger Indiana cities covering the situation at the end of March, forwarded to thp Washington headquarters of the President’s conference on unemployment by Evans Woollenttof Indianapolis, president of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, and regional director for the work of the conference in Indiana. _ The reports were sent to the regional director by mayors of cities and by other agents of the inference throughout the State. In general the reports show betterment In the unemployment situation, some of the city reporting employment as “nearly back to pre-war conditions.” The city of Anderson reported that “there Is no occasion to worry about the situation here.” MORE AT WORJj. IN EAST CHICAGO. East Chlcagq said conditions there are “somewhat improved,” that “more men ' are working than In December" and that ! “they expect to reduce unemployment i further in the spring when outside work Is possible." f Muncie reported that its unemployment j situation “is Improving all the time” and that “Muncie is almost back to pre-war conditions.” From South Bend came the word that : "practically every able bodied man in ; South Bend Is either employed or can be. The main problem Is one of transients. The labor demand In the city Is sufficient to take care of its own people, but not of transients." Other cities reported as follows: Ft. Wayne—The local post of , the American Legion Is conducting a canvass of the unemployed. According to figures so far obtainable these will number 1,300 or 1,400. Unemployment la mainly confined to industrial plants. The outlook Is considered favorable In view of projected building and sewer construction work. Gary—The sltuatoln Is rather unfavorable. It is hoped that men will be put to work on roads In early spring. The mayor is actively Interested In the problem. Hammond —The conditions here are not serious. The outlook is apparently brighter. Tbe Chamber of Commerce and other organizations are doing everything possible Jo overcome unfavorable conditions. The mayor is working with these organizations Kokomo—Business is opening up somewhat and the outlook for better conditions in the near future Is promising. Indianapolis—Conditions here have improved since Dei-emb.-r. The employment bureau is active. A mayor’s committee, has been formed of representatives of the ; employment bureau, churches. American Legion. Chamber of Commerce and two counclimen. Construction la active. Tho diversity of industry helps. ..... Michigan City—Conditions here are a great deal better than in December. Very few men are unemployed. Richmond —The situation 1* a little better than In December. Tho prospect for outside work is good, as will as the prospect for lucrease In factory employment. Vincennes—A confe-ence of business men has been formed and a registration bureau established. Arrangements have I been made to give unemployed work at I $2 a day for three days a week, on j streets. In parks, playgrounds, beaui- ] tifylng river front, etc. This arrangement will last until tbe early sprlnfc, when tbe bulk of those in distress will be able to secure employment on farms.

BRYDON DENIED RENT OF HALL FOR HIS BAZAAR •(Continued From Page One.) lirydon had sold them privileges to Operate games of chance at the bazaar. This information'caused the board to put Brydon off until Monday. Dietz and Hawthorne were quoted ns having said the Brydon told them It would all right to operate because he had nn understanding with the prosecuting attorney. Mr. Evans indignantly denied this. Brydon. also denied pinking such a statement. The mayor advised Brydon to return the money of the two concession men. Brydon at first refused but today he Dietz back $57.50 and Hawthorne SSO, receiving from Hawthorne a signed statement, as follows: "This is to' certify that R. M. Brydon did not sell ine—any gambling privileges for any date, or purpose or time.” Contracts which the concession mn and Brydon exhibited provided for sale to Dietz of “auto fish pond’’ and “kewple doll” concessions and "gas balloon privilege” *and “ball game” to Hawthorne. Brydon Insisted there was nothing of a gaming nature about these concessions. The concession men said their method of operation necessitated the customer taking a chance. Brydon said the bazaar will be given somewhere, som dime, because SB,OOO has been collected In concession fees, advertising and advance ticket sales. The prosecutor's reference to broadcast advertising grew out of the use of a full page in ‘Billboard” a theatrical trade Journal, by the bazaar promoters. It was in response to this advertisement that Dietz and Hawthorne said they c< tracted for their concessions. While Brydon and the men who said they represented the ex-soldiers’ league were trying to get the permit from the board of works Judge Arthur R. Robinson of Superior Court Room 4, an overseas veteran and member of the American Legion came up. He listened for a moment and then broke into the argument : "Is this that- bazaar business? This board doesn't want to grant that permit, surely. Why, th\p fellow Brydon gets 90 per cent and the other ten goes to the boys. They’ve got a contract to that effect.” Claud W. Miller, manager of the interest of the league In the bazzar, who has been working with Brydon in the promotion, turned ujjon Judge Robinson and shouted: \ - • “What, do yon mean I signed a contract finder misapprehension ?” Judge Robinson said he could produce a copy of the contract In a few minutes. Miller defied hint to do It. The Judge said he would get it and left. NEW CONTRACT F(>R AN EVEN DIVISION. Brydon insisted that the contract giving him 90 per cent had bepn abandoned and exhibited anew one by which the'league got 50 per cent of the gross receipts and he whatever he could make after paying expenses out of ‘he remainder. He said he had advanced money several times to the league out of advancp ticket sales, and had taken money from a number of politicians and business men for signs to •be hung in the hall during the bazaar. Mayor Shank said he was for anything which benefited soldiers exclusively, but no promoter was going,,to be permitted to make a lot of money out of a soldier affair. He asked Brydon to take some other dates than those he asked for, because they conflicted with the date of the Yankee Circus to be given at the Coliseum by the Marion County Council of the American Legion. Brydon and his

INDIANA DAILY TIMES.

VITAL MATTER \ TQ PRIVILEGED Question of Who Will Get Choice Stalls on City Mart. Curb market staudbolders at the city market waited anxiously around the city hall today whße Mayor Shank, Edward G. Sourbier, member of 'the board of public safety; Market Master Robert R. Sloan, County Commissioner Calvin H. Shank and others debated over “who is who” ill a back office. Those who have been politically faithful expressed hopes that they could get the choice corner stands. The conference broke up with its work unfinished. The matter will be taken up afealo next week. Curb stands are those along the sidewalks around the courthouse and Ihe city market buildings. Theoretically, they are permanently leased to, producers of garden truck for sl6 a year for each stand space. The practice Is for gardeners to drive Into their spaces early on market days and sell out their loads to the “curb merchant.” The curb merchant, under market rules, can occupy the stand after the gardener is through fqr the day. Usually the gardener does not stay. Oftentimes he does not come to market, particularly in the winter. The city charges the “curb merchant” 80 cents a half day or $1 a full day for occupying one of these spaces. Under market rules, a curb stand Is not permanently Issued to a “cur 6 merchant” as it Is to a gardener. The “cqyb merchant” has to taka his chance—theoretically. What actually has been going on for many years, market observers state, Is that the “curb merchant” get the game stand the year around, if- he kn<nq* how to go after it. This was so under the Jewett administration, and from ap- i pearancea it will be so under the Shank administration—-only some old familiar Saces around tho curb market might be missing. It is necessary to make Yoora for “the faithful." There are ways of picking room for “the faithful," politicians know.

lean Legion Is “bucking the rest of the solc.ters, the likes of me, for instandS.” William E. Reilly, a member of the legion .■'nd an" overseas veteran, replied that the American I.egion Is not opposed to anythlLg for the bfneflt of ex-service men, but It most certainly is against the exploitation of soldiers by promoters. PRODUCED COFY OF ADVERTISEMENT. Somebody produced a copy of the Billboard advertisement which the concession men had quoted. Quotations from this are as follows: “National Disabled Soldiers League, Inc. “Comprised of American Legion, Vet erans of Foreign Wars, World War Veterans, 38th Dls. Aux. “Members Invite offers from concessions, frdra gentlemen earning their llv. ing from high-class stock wheels and grind stores properly conducted with their wares elaborately displayed. “The strongest, most reputable ExService Men’s Organization in the World offers Just a limited amount of space at Tomlinson Hall In the City of Indianapolis during the week of AiWil 10-15. “On the 11th of January, 1922, a movement was perfected by the best so/ieties of this city and fostered by this auspices, whereby the ifhemployed, disabled and men who are down, out and ready the counjt could be provided for. % “Tbe honorable Governor Warren T. McCray, Mayor ’Lew’ Shank (everybody’s friendi and every civic, fraternal and social body of this city at ones gave their moral support. The city council gave SI,OOO. Elghtyxfour wholesale produce merchants offered unlimited supplies of foodstuffs. Eleven meat packers called in and asked what was needed. Con! merchants opened their bins unsolicited. Persomi who have not felt this ‘business depression’ sent* In clothing. All of this for the boys ’who hit the ball’ when needed, but have hoen lost In tho shuffle sihee prohibition. Muscle Shoals, Disarmament Conference and German indemnity have become topics of tbe day. Now, boys, with all due respect to promoters and Indoor bazaars you may have, T>iaycd this winter that have proven total blanks, bloomers or those who did not get the nut, get wise to yourself, play this date and start the season with a smile. We will permit concessioners with, stock wheels, such as candy, and Teddy Bears, and grind stores of every description, operated in wonderfully constructed ten-foot booths, artistically decorated and with colonial columns and cluster lights furnished by ourselves. The fees will be seventy-five dollars for wheels, forty dollars for grind stores; one-half on reservation of space, the balance payable upon the opening of the show. Dom’t dicker. Don’t chew the rag. Don’t waste our time. Don’t write If you can not afford to sit In where you are due to hold a royal flush. The merchants are beg ging for this same apace, but aa the director, secretary and treasurer are In the Recognized Show Business themselves, why naturally their associates got first chance.' . . Each evening gifts, such ns floor lamps, electric washers, bedroom suits, etc., donated by Indianapolis merchants, N will be given nt-ay. On Saturday night at Chevrolet touring car will be presented to tho bolder of the lucky number."

Gun Fighter Said to Have Confessed ♦ William H. Miller, 23, of Birmingham, Ala., who was shot in a pistdl duel with Capt.

PREDICTS ANOTHER ANVIL CHORUS. "Tbe anvil chorus" lngk of accord with tho President will break out afresh, said Mondell. when the navel bill Ig taken up In the House. He said the bill was framed with the purpose of maintaining In fighting trim and condition for prompt action a Navy on the sens of the size and strength authorized by tbe Jerma of the recent conference and under that agreement to bring about a substantial reduction In the cost of the naval establishment. “Unfortunately,” he continued, “through pressure of selfish local Interests which have been operating for many y“ars, but which had a riotous carnival of extravagant- Influence during the war, a large part of our Navy is ashore. It Is a lamentably backward an<U unassuming village along our coast line that has not its naval base or sia tion, that has not its grappling hooks on the National Treasury through the naval bill.
