STORY OF CRIME Miller Said to Have Confessed Part in Killing. .¶ CHICAGO, May 18.—Police "dead lines" were established today about buildings being constructed under the Landis wage award, to guard against bombing and fires at the hands of terrorists. .¶ Guards were stationed at stragetic [strategic] positions.

"Charley, " he said, did the shooting. .¶ Police are withholding the names of a man arrested at Wilkesbarre, Pa., in a raid on a convention of the Ukranian Workingmen’s Association. The man is believed, however, to have been implicated through Miller's confession. THREE OTHER MURDER CHARGES. .¶ Indictment of Miller and at least three others on murder charges was expected today. .¶ Officials continued today to receive letters threatening reprisals for the arrest of “Big Tim" Murphy, Fred Mader, “Con"' Shea and other labor leaders held as instigators of the “reign of terror” which has followed opposition of several building trades unions to the Landis wage award.

Noted Author Appreciates Local Institution’s Value Praises Stuart Walker Company for Improved Offerings.

By BOOTH TARKINGTON. The Stuart Walker Company has become of late yeanj what might be called an Indianapolis Institution; an institution It would be a pity to lose. A theatrical company Is not like a gallery of paintings; the gallery can stay in place through periods of sparse attendance, but a theatrical company cannot. Mr. Walker’s ‘‘offerings'’ this year are better than ever, and what Is more to the point, in an appeal for “popular support,” they are more entertaining than ever. We are somewhat slow to appreciate our privileges and to avail o.irselves of them when they come to us; we appreciate them more readily perhaps, when we have to go to New York to get them; and yet New York can give us nothing better

GARBAGE AND ASH SYSTEM BREAKSDOWN (Continued From Page One.) that it takes the time of one man answering them. I am enclosing a list of complaints received during the last four hours. So busy has our phone be*>n with complaints that your own office complained only yesterday that it ha l been unable to get in touch with tbe street cleaning department. -You, of course, know we have noth- j lng to do with the collection of garbage and ashes, but a great many of the j citizens do not know that the garbage; and ashes are under the supervision of the sanitary board. We have made every effort to clean up the alleys. We have, however, been seriously hampered in this work by what seems to be a complete breakdown In the sanitary organization. Their a6hes and garbage collection system seems to have suffered a total collapse. We find that alleys everywhere are piled with ashes and garbage, some alleys being almost impassable. “We are ready and willing to clean all improved alleys, but It Is useless to and this unless the winter accumulation of ashes and garbage is removed. In some instances where the condition constituted a menace, we removed the ashes, rubbish and garbage; but with our limited equipment we can not continue this kind of work. “This department was turned over to us in a deplorable condition. We have about twenty-three teams and five trucks with which to clean about five hundred miles of paved streets and alleys. “When this department was organized sixteen years ago, the city owned over 100 mules and hired fifty or sixty during the summer. At that time the city had less than one-third of the improved mileage. I earnestly hope that you will find some way to remedy what seems to be a total lack of organization In the collection division of the sanitary board. "It Is my opinion that If this condition is allowed to continue It will constitute a serious menace to public health.” The collection department, of the sanitary board have been embrbiled In difficulty for weeks, culminating in the discharge two weeks ago of Harrison Collins, negro, superintendent of ash collection and Tuesday In tbe board letting out A. M. Buchanan, superintendent of garbage collection. Buchanan openly charged that Truly Nolan, superintendent of sanitation, who has charge of both collection divisions, had pu-po-ely demoralized the systems in order to reflect discredit upon Collins and him (Buchanan). City Engineer John L. Elliott, objected to the firing of the two superintendents unless there was a thorough houeecleaning in which Nolan would also be swept out. Mr. Swift and President Jay A. Craven refused to agree to tills and retained Nolan, informing him it is up to him to bring order out of the chaos. Alleged Check W orker Arrested Prank Miller, 42, 420 South East street, was arrested today by detectives who charge him with forgery, issuing fraudulent checks and grand larceny. The detectives say Miller passed a series of worthless checks, ranging in amounts from $7 to $35 and al made out to either K. S. Lehart or C. W. Stewart, and all signed the A. F. Lewis Lumber Company. In cashing these checks, he is said to have made small purchases and to have received most of the amounts in money. He Is said to have bought three bottles of furniture polish from H. K. Riffcr, for $1.50 and to have received change from a $25 check. He bought a pair of trousers I from James Zivier, 1340 North Senate avenue, and paid for them with a sl2 check. E. P. Morrison, 4302 East New York street, is said to have sold Miller an apron and two pairs of hose receiving a sl6 check and giving the difference to Miller In cash. Charles H. Teester, 1024 South East street, sold Miller two chickens and received a $7.30 check the police ■ay. BURGLAR BREAKS WINDOW. A burglar broke a window at the home of Walter Murray, 1071 River avenue, early today and entered the house.

than what Is being offered to us at the Murat. This week, the writer, dropping In casually for an evening at that theater, was almost startled by the quality ot the acting and the extraordinary beauty of the settings. He was unable to think of another actress in the country who could have done fust what Marjorie Vonnegut did with the principal ride, which is a most difficult and tricky one, but far from being difficult enough to extend Miss Vonnegut's great power nearly to Its limit. Moreover, the entire cunn>any was composed of actors who would delight the heart of the hardest stage director. And the director must have a h. -d heart Indeed, who would not applaud the work of the fellow craftsman who produced the scene of the six reporters in “The Acquittal.”

‘PATERNALISM CARRIED TOO FAR/ WOOLLEN Decries Wholesale Forming of Governmental Bureaus. The wholesale establishment of bureaus, commission and other Government instrumentalities for the conduct and control of business was decried today by Evans Woollen, president of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, in an address before the annual convention of the Indiana Cnnners’ Association. “We have gone and still going too far toward the acceptance of paternalism as a policy of government,” declared Mr. Woollen. “Tbe tendency toward the acceptance of tiiut policy was apparent before the war, and during tho war it gained much headway.” He said there was some excuse for the existence of a paternalistic policy in the time of war, but averred such a policy in time of peaco was bad economically and demoralizing politically. Mr. Woollen touched on the imperative need of the farmer for intermediate credit, that form which is more than the six months short-time credit ard is less than the term of a mortgage U-an. It is possible for tho commercial banker to take on some paper for terms longer than six months if he has not loaded his bank witli loans that should have gone to tlie mortgage lender, Mr. Woollen contended. Ho pointed out there would be less complaint today that the farmer was unsupplied with intermediate credit if bunks serving farmers had excluded mortgage loans from their assets and so kept themselves in condition to meet the needs of their customers. That governmental aid Is not needed in solving tho problem, and belief the American business man is able to solve his problems were convictions expressed in the course of the address. “The initiative of an individualist nation wlii work out whatever problem there is without taking taxpayers' money for the establishment of credit facilities to be governinentally administered” The activities of the War Finance Corporation, ty being extended six months or a year, was suggested by the speaker as a possible solution of the problem. That Indiana needed no such aid, but other communities did, was one of the salient points made. “Let us not hurry into any paternal Istie scheme to meet a problem that in considerable measure Is passed,' Mr. Woollen said in conclusion, “and which was cause!, first, by war conditions, which probably will not recur; recoml, bw post xw;r foiiies, the like of which we can avoid if we will; third, to some extent, by bad business practices on the part of the farmer; fourth, and perhaps most importantly, by bad tanking practices which the banker, if he has lived through this period, is not likely to repeat.”

Says Rheumatism Leaves You Forever James H. Allen of Congress Avenue, Rochester, N. Y., once a rheumatic cripple, who discovered ALLEXRIIU and with It banished every trace of uric acid and every sign of rheumatism front his body, says that every druggist guarantees a full pint bottle of ALLENRHU to show the way to complete recovery or money hack. It relieves at once and immediately after you start to take ALLENRHU the good work begins.
