HOOVER SAYS ‘PUBLIC MUST COME FIRST Warns Coal Men They Must Keep in Step. CLASH IS HEATED Admits U. S. Lacks Power to Fix Prices. WASHINGTON, Mar IS. —Secretary of Commerce Hoover today warned the coal operators, in Ills conference with them here, against attempting to Jeopardize the public interest. Hoover’s statement was made during a sharp clash with O. R. C.iperton of the New River coal district of West Virginia, who announced his refusal to permit any committee to Interfere with "my business.” In opening the conference of operators here Hoover said the Government did not possesses the power to regulate the disIt osal and price of coal, stating that any Action along those lines must be voluntarily on the part of the operators. Those attending the conference operate non union mines. ‘•The questions for discussion here ere measures to be taken to regulate distribution and prices, and to prevent speculation and undue competition in coal.” Hoover said. ‘‘There Is no law empowering the Government to settle the question. You were called h c re to cooperate in this matter for the public good and for the good of the operators. The Government will assist in every way possible.” Hoover said. ”1 am not laying down the law,” Hoover said, as he gave the conference what he termed a rough outline of meeting the situation. The coal meeting and the dinner conference of President Harding with steel and railroad men tonight and Saturday night, respectively, are part of the Administration's campaign to reach volur. tary agreements with key Industries to hasten return of more prosperous business conditions. The coal conference was a surprise. Harding, with Hoover, believes there was no Justification for recent increases in coal prices, because stocks of coal throughout the country continue large. Private committees to regulate the distribution and prices of coal previously had been proposed by Hoover. This proposal first was adopted with Caperton casting the only dissenting vote. Later the question was reopened to discuss regulation of prices specifically. Manifestly angry at Caperton's statement, Hoover declared with emphasis that while he did not believe the Government should extend Its arm into prltate business, nevertheless, the Governlent wiil Insist on taking a private business whenever the public Interest Is threatened. Hoover told the operators that, whether they liked it or not, the public Interest would be conserved. Something ‘‘mors than committee Interference” would follow any attempt by private business to conduct Its affairs la a manner Injurious to the public. Bitterness against the United Mine Workers of America crept out In #pite of Hoover's wishes. S. P. nutchlson and C. E. Heller of the Westmoreland Coal Company, Philadelphia, attacked the union.

POLICE LEARN LIFE SAVING METHODS

P ~ JllMr awfell, |

Indianapolis policemen are learning the art of resuscltnting persons who have gone down for the third time and If they don't gave many lives during the summer months, it will be because they don't have the opportunity. Members of the police department are here seen receiving instructions from Dr. Herbert Wagner, official lecturer of the life saving department of the A. A. U. I.ife Saving Corps. Dr. Wagner says a person ordinarily under the water ten minutes is dead and some tile In less time than that, but others have been revived after having

Old Guard Galvanized by Pinchot’s Triumph Over Keystone State Machine

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. ItV WILLIAM FREDERIC WILL. WASHINGTON, May 18.—No polPtcal event in contemporary history has electrified Washington like Gifford Plnchot’a smashing victory In the Pennsylvania gubernatorial primaries. The capital has been shaken as it a bombshell hail crashed Info Its midst. Following the anti machine triumph of Albert Jeremiah Beveridge, a fellow-pro-gresfive In Indiana, a fortnight previous, Pinchot’s win Is considered 1 icalculable, in Its possible consequences. Republicans and Democrats alike—whether organisation politicians or progressive reformers —agree they stand In the presence of a cyclenic development destined to Inaugurate anew political epoch. NATIONAL FIGI RE OF LARGE PROPORTIONS. By general consent Mr. Plnehot Is elevated to the etature of a National figure of towering proportions. Already there Is talk of the mantle of Roosevelt, at length having fallen upon an heir after the Bull Moose chieftain's own heart. The consensus Is well-nigh universal that Pinchot’s knockout of the most powerful State organization in the country is an admonition to the Republican party in a National sense that will be Ignored at the gravest peril If the Beveridge victory In a doubtful State was a warning. Republican laeders themselves are saying the Plnehot victory, in the stanchest Republican commonwealth It. the Union. Is handwriting on the political wall, In letters of flaming fire. Nowhere in Washington outside of professional Democratic nuarters Is the Pennsylvania gubernatorial result In-

Daughter Is Against Man Accused of Slaying Wife William P . Donovan P repares for Final Battle to Save Life .

With his own daughter opposing him, William P. Donovan of Parke County, sentenced to die June 1 for murdering his wife, through his lawyers today made his final plea for his life. Donovan's lawyers. Roy Baker of Parke Ctinty, and Earl P. H-ndersop, an attorney for the Indiana mine workers, presented his ease to the pardon board and to Governor McCray, who sat with ■he board. Against the arguments of the lawyers in Donavan’s behalf Is a letter in possession of the Governor from Donovan's 17 year-old daughter, Mabel, of Harrodsbt.rg, Ky.. in which she asks that the death penalty be enforced. The letter follows: “I am writing you in behalf of my mother who was murdered last July by my father. William P. Donovan, near P.ioomlngdale and sentenced to death June 1. “T understand there are many efforts Lei tig made to get his sentence changed I:> life imprisonment by his relations, r want to say to you and the board that I do not want his sentence changed. “I am 17 years old and was an eye witness to the brutal murder. “My mother was surely the best woman that ever lived. She was shot down with my little baby sister in her arms without any cause whatever. "I have seen her beaten, knocked down nnd mistreated in rqany ways since I have been old enough to remember nnd, because site loved us children, she made the best of it she could. "Mv father has always been an overhearing ntan and had lots of trouble, but he cares for no one but himself, not even us children. “In conclusion, I want to say ngaln the sentence that was given hint Is Just what he deserves. And when you have

been under more than two hours. Policemen from each of the substations and from the central station are seen in this group. They are demonstrating on each other the proper methods of reviving a victim of drowning or asphyxitlon. The victim, according to the best method, should be placed face downward, one arm extended in front and one hand placed under the face, I>r. Wagner told the policemen. The hands should be placed at the lower ribs and the pressure of the whole weight of the body of the life saver exerted slowly and gradually

PHn.ADEI.PHIA, May 18.—Gifford rinrhot attributes his nomination In part to tile support tendered him by the women voters. In a public statement he thanked them specially for their support, tcrprrted as a rebuke to the Harding administration. What nearly everybody does suy Is that It is an undeniable expression of popular discontent with the Sixty-Seventh Congress. Except In the most reactionary Republican haunts, where obsolete Incense Is .still burned before discredited old guard gods, the Pinrhot triumph has another significance, perhaps the deepest of nil. It Is accepted as an undeniable manifestation of the people's demand for a totally different kind of politics and leadership within the Republican party. DEMOCRATS GLOAT OVER PENNSYLVANIA. Democrats are gloating that Pennsylvania, rock ribbed rltad*-l o fthe G. O. IV, has registered Its disgust with the Re publican party as such. That Is a view not widely held In Washington. The voice of Pennsylvania has rather clamored, It Is felt, for a house cleaning within the Republican organization, for policies more In tune with the trend of the time than the Fordney tariff and for reforms to be carried out by new Republican lenders. Os such, far and wide in Washington is considered to lie the essence of Gifford Plnchot's historic triumph. A lesson no less portentious, nearly nil authorities, agree. Is the part the now woman voter undoubtedly played In tile overthrow of tho Pennsylvania machine combine. Mrs. Harriet Upton Taylor,

heard the facts you will not be surprised at this letter.” No plea of innocence was entered nor any attempt made to show why leniency should be extended except on the ground that A. N. Foley, a Crawfordsvllle attorney, withdrew from the case after a Jury had been selected, leaving the defense entirely In the hands of Baker. Baker said the withdrawal ntay have prejudiced the Jury against his client’s interests. Baker told the board that no critic-lam was intended for the court in permitting the withdrawal, but said he felt it was an injustice to Donovan. Governor McCray said he Is not In favor of capital punishment, but that tho law Is on the statute books, and must be enforced. He said further the Donovan ease is one In which he believed tho law should be allowed to take Us course. Donovan and his family, according to the evidence in the case, came from Kentucky to Indiana about twenty years ago. and most of the names on the petitions (o the hoard for his clemency are said to he those of relatives and friends in Kentucky. The trouble which resulted in his killing his wife, followed a divorce suit instituted by Mrs. Donovan n ho left their home In Parke County and went to live (Continued on Page Two.)

‘LOVE TAP “He didn't hit me, judge; he just struck me in the mouth with his open hand,” was the defense offered by the wife of Sylvester Hughes, 924 Virginia avenue, who faced a charge of assault and battery on his wife, filed by her father in eity court today, “One dollar and costs,” said tho court.

after which the pressure should he released quickly. This movement should be made much slower than a person would breathe and should not exceed twelve or fifteen times a minute. The fingers should not lie used ltt squeezuig, l>r. Wagner said. The old method of placing the victim on his hack and working the arms Is ineffective, lie snld, and In many cases the victim's tongue chokes him. All members of tho police department will receive Instruction In first aid to the drowning, according to present plans.

vice chairman of the Republican national committee, pungently epitomized that aspect of tho situation when she said that Ptnehot's nomination "simply reflects the fact that the man politician has not yet taken the woman seriously." It is the view of women politicians tike Mrs. Upton Taylor that until party organizations. both State and National comprehend the Inescapable necessity of taking women Into them, surprises like the Pennsylvania upset are ns Inevitable as primaries and elections themselves. WHERE WILL IT STOP OLD GUARD INQUIRES. Where the Beveridge-Plnehot wind that blew across the prairies of Indiana and now has swept over the Allegheny s to the Delaware will stop, is the topic uppermost In Republican minds at Washington. No one. any longer, thinks 1t Is an ephemeral blast, or one thnt can toy confined to regional limits. It has to sagacious politicians ail the earmarks of a typhoon likely to swirl up and down the whole republic before It spends its force. Will the G. O. P. leadership recognize the upheaval for what It is—a warning signal of the plainest portent—and be guided accordingly, or will Republican party managers play ostrich politics, stick their heads In the sand, and go blindly on their way to new rebuffs and sterner rebukes? Those are the questions politicians of nil parties arc ntsklng themselves. On Republican ability or otherwise to answer tl)em in an enlightened sense depends, It is firmly believed, certainly the fate of the present controllers of G. O. P. destinies. If not the fortunes of the party at tills year's congressional elections and In tho National campaign of 1924.--'Copyright, 19--, by Public Ledger Company.

Praise for reports of the executive committee of the mayor’s committee on transportation, appointed to Investigate the financial condition of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company, which were published today, was expressed by Dr. Henry Jameson, chairman of the executive committee of the street car company. The committee found the company to be In need of relief and recom mended a number of changes which would bring more money to the utility. Among the recommendations arc several suggestions for raising the fare. ‘•Tho results of the Investigation are of great benefit from an educational standpoint. The reports are fair anti unbiased and will do good, in that they will give the people an Insight into the company's condition and will give the people confidence in the company,” said Dr. Jameson. The reports were delivered at a meeting of the executive committee at the city hall last evening. The ses-ion started sformily and continued to be stirred bydashes between J.

GARBAGE AND ASH SYSTEM BREAKDOWN Accumulation Is So Great, Alleys Go Dirty. BUCK IS PASSED Blame Does Not Rest With City, Say Officials. So great has become the accumulation of uncollected garbage and ashes in the Improved alleys of Indianapolis, due to the breakdown of the collection system of the board of sanitary commissioners, that the street cleaning department is finding it practically impossible to clean paved alleys, John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning, said In a special report on the situation to Mayor Shank today. , Ashes and garbage have not been colpeeted for as long as three weeks in some parts of the city, It is said. The city administration proper has nothing whatever to do with the collection of ashes and garbage, since this is under the control of the sanitary board. The sanitary board is responsible to no authority whatever, except that its books must be approved by the State board of accounts, nnd hence Mayor Shank is powerless to compel the board to improve conditions, city officials say. BOARD IS SEPARATE FROM CITY GOVERNMENT. Citizens generally, however, do not know tho sanitary board is an entirely separate body from the rest of the city government .and hence they call the street cleaning department to complain that their ashes and garbage have not been removed, Mr. Walker said. So numerous are tlu* complaints, he said, that tho full time of one man at the street eleuning barns in Shelby street is required to answer tho telephone. John E. Stucky, chief clerk at the barns, has been handling most of the misdirected complaints. Ho snid ho is advising nil those who call that tho city administration is powerless to help them and their complaints should be telephoned to Main OtVHj or Circle 1380. The first number is the office of Lucius P>. Swift, member of tho sanitary commission und tlie second is one of the sanitary department offices. Mayor Shank and his subordinates announced some time ago they would try to get tho next Legislature to pass a law putting the sanitary board directly under control of the mayor. Tne board now consists of the city engineer, a member appointed on nomination of the State board of health and a third appointed on nomination of the other two. The mayor desires all three appointments to be in his hands. WALKER FEARS CONDITIONS DETRIMENTAL TO HEALTH. Walker's letter said he feared the aeetunulution of ashes and garbage would be detrimental to public uealth. The letter is as follows: “For the past month we have had sever.'! hundred complaints about garbage, ns'aes and condition of alleys from citizens of every section of the city. Tele- i phone complaints have been so numerous (Continued on Page Two.)

Addis In the back with an lee pick. Only a short time before the fatal argument Addis left his homo In the automobile. “Carl had been drinking,” Mrs. Addis said. “I pleaded with him to stay heme, but be called to me, ‘Good-by; I'll see you Christmas,' and then he drove away.” The police made a careful search of tho automobile, but found no liquor. They say Miss Long bad not been drinking. The charge of drawing deadly weapons was brought against her because she Is said to have drawn an automatic pistol during the argument. Deputy Coroner George Christian said the autopsy showed the ice pick had penetrated a large vein.

There are thirteen John O'Connors listed lu the Indianapolis directory. Tho police and Coroner Pattl.F. Robinson are making a drive against drunken automobile drivers.

HOGUE TO ASK CHANGE IN PAY PLAN FOR CITY Controller Would Have Every Employe Call for His Own Check. City Controller Joseph L. Hogue todty announced he Intends to ask department heads to abolish the practice of permitting foremen to get pay cheeks from the controller's office and distribute the checks to the men on the job. He said he hopes to start anew system whereby all employes must come to the controller's office in person to get their checks. “I am doing this because under the present system it Is so easy for a foreman who wanted to be dishonest, to pur on the pay roll a fictitious name and then cash the check for himself, without detection,'’ said Mr. Hogue. Some opposition was encountered by Mr. Hogue, when he broached the plan to the sanitary department. This department has not been on good terms with the rest of the city hall since the new administration came in. Lucius B. Swift, member of the sanitary board, told Mr. Hogue he did not think such precautions were necessary with employes In the sanitary department because be thought they all were trustworthy. Mr. Hogue said he did not doubt it. but added he thought it would be a matter of protection, both for the board and himself, if the opportunity to pad pay rolls were wiped out. Mr. Swift said it would inconvenience employes of the sanitary department to have to come to the city hall for their pay, and he hoped Mr. Hogue would think the matter over carefully before making a final decision. Mr. Hogue will discuss the change with ihe board of park commissioners this afternoon. , Daylight Burglar Robs Candy Store A daylight burglar today entered the candy store of \V. H. Jeekler, 235!
