JUDGE GARY SEES BETTER DAYS AHEAD UHead of Steel Trust Believes Times Improve. PITIES PESSIMIST Suggests Proper Way to Relieve Heavy Burdens. NEW YORK, May 26.—‘Big. pvon profitable business. has been ahead ot us all these years, though i f has been at times obscured. Now we seem to he nearer a realization.” Judge 11. H. Gary, chairman of the Vailed States Steel for porafion, declared today in bis pr< siJential address l>ef..re th > annual meet ing of the Iron and Steel Institute at the Hotel Commodore. "I atn still an optimist. And likewise are you. Optimism arises from opening one’s eves and ears and mind to the good things in life which a merciful and overruling providence has bestowed. May all of us have sense to appreciate "PITY PESSIMIST OF EXITED STATES.” "Pity the chronic. Mind, deaf and foolish pessimist of the United States We have not, I think, entirely passed from under the clouds of adversity. Oer talnly we are carrying hitherto unheard of heavy governmental and financial bur lens. To hear them gracefully and con tea redly there must be not only forbear sure, encouragements and assistance from every department of Government, up to the limit, of propriety tr.d justice, but there must also be entertained by every individual, consistently and constantly. a spirit of patience, pluck, eaergy, generosi'y, loyalty and charity. "We must do our part. We must be fair and just as loyal to the Government as wa were during the war. "Little need bo said about the changing business conditions for better in the iron and steel industry. The facts ana figures have been and are being published. The volume is large and Increasing. "The profits 3re not satisfactory, but few. if any. ought to be doing business at a loss and we shall soon. I hope, s"ttle down to a readjusted basis of prices and rates that is fair and reasonable and on a comparative parity. "Let us be moderate in (ffir demands Profiteering wlil be more and more exposed and eliminated." TARIFF REVISION CALLED DISEASE. George Gary referred to revision of *he •ariff as “an intermittent disease.” and declared It should not be political qnrs tion at all. but that both parties should agree on principles providing f. r tariff tor joint revenue and protective purposes thus removing the quest: • a from politics. His solution, he said, then would be: "There should he a commission of well paid high-minded, intelligent, competent and non-partisan appointees, authorised to ascertain anil communicate the facts and figures, and their reports should be frequent so that, if deemed necessary, a change or amendment to the tariff laws, could be made at any time Congress is in session.” The bead of the great steel trust declared h* welcome! fair laws for the regulation of industry, or investigations that were honest and non-partisan. "The progress and prosperity of no nation.” he said, "can long endure i? arty factor la economic life shall be especially favored or punished or exempted.” He therefore contended, he said, that trade -unions and farmers’ organizations should be subject to exactly the same kind of regulation as Industrial and commercial organizations. Judge Gary opposed immediate passage c? the soldier bonus, because “the load of taxation ought to he lightened, not increased.” If passed at a later date, he expressed strong approval of the sales tax as the method of raising the money.

GOVERNOR M’GRAY DENIES EFFORT TO SAVE COMMISSION

Governor McCray today denied that he had made 3Dy effort to influence the resolutions committee to leave out the plank in the Republican State platform calling for changes in the public service commission law or abolition of the commi-sion. “I did not ask rhe committee or any of Its members to withdraw the plank regarding the public s*rvi<-e commission. I myself believe that there wi'l have to be some changes in the law. he said. “These changes will probably be proposed at the lies] session of rhe Lcgis la tore. “I did tell the committee that It* pro po?o f j plank taking away the power of ti> tax loard to pa-s on bond issues would destroy the tnot valuable feature #>f the ‘law ar.d .one that lias saved the taxpayers many rhoii.-ands of dollars. Nine members of the resolution committee w. r> pres'nt when I talked to them. They took fl vote and seven of the nine agreed that the plank be dropped.'' This feet was published exclusively in the I"' ana Daily Times. McCRAY IGNORANT OF PLATFORM’S fONTFNTS An effort was made to make It appear that governor Mi-Crav endeavored to stop the public service commission plank and that he was not in sympathy with it. The Governor had no knowledge of what the platform contain -d until a short time before the committee on resolutions or platform committee was ready to report - , to ihe convention. Governor McCray then immediately got in connection with the committee and insisted upon withdrawal of the tax plank. Senator James 11. lVatson. John Owens of Hamilton County and Ed Buwern of IVlphi called upon Governor McCray • arly today and hob! a conference which lasted more than an hour.

SHANK SAYS CITY IS OUT OF ALL JOBS There Is no longer even standing room for those who want jobs at the city bull. .Mayor Shank today caused ’to- following sign to be hung in the reception room of his .suite: "Notice, All city positions are now tilled and it is useless to ask to see—'no in regard to stn-li positions." Th'-re were some indications that the sign told the truth. William 11. trail tage, political marshal of the Shank f-ri-es; Corporation Counsel Taylor E Grunin City Controller Joseph I.

Much of the work of drafting the platform on national issues. b said, was done in a conference held between himself and Beveridge, following a dinner at the home of Mr. Beveridge. “Are you going to campaign in Indiana for Beveridge this fall?" Senator Watson was asked." "I will make more speeches than lie does." he replied. "What do you think of Senator New’s chances of getting into the Cabinet?" "NO t IfII.VUT VACANCY,” sDS WATSON. “There are no vacancies in the Cabl n>-t and the President is not in the habit of bartering those Jobs around in ad vanes," Senator Watson replied.

Senator Wat son said. "Harry Daugherty will take care of himself." Senator Watson also reiterated his statement that adjusted compensation for px-service men bill now- pending would be passed. Senator Watson said that be would leave late today for Ru.-b----ville, his former home, and would go from there to Winchester to visit his mother who, he said, is 92 years old. He said he would arrive in Washington Tuesday moryilng. Speculation over what action the Deni ocrats would take with regard to the public service commission law wa? heard at the Statehotise today. Politicians were trying to determine if the action of the Republican platform committee was brought about through a conceited effort to name members of the resolutions committee who in sympathy with the public service commission plunk and the one withdrawn, affecting the oor.rd of State -tax commissioners. Most of them thought that Ed Bush, former lieufen ant Governor, was responsible In a large measure for the declarations.

DEMOCRATS PREPARE FOR CONVENTION Interest Will Be in Stand on ‘Goodrich Tax Law.’ NO PREDICTIONS Service Body to Come in for Share of Attention. Members of the Democratic State advisory platform committee met at the Denison Hotel today to take up prcliminarywork on the platform for the State convention next week.

Walter Chambers of New Castle, chairman of the State committee, and Joseph Shea of Seymour, former ambassador to Chile, took a prominent part in the discussions. They Intimated no advance draft of the platform decisions arrived at would be made public ar this time. Mr MeFadden said the Democrats would propose a straightforward plan for 1 bringing about a reduction of taxes, and t -aid be, himself, favored taking away the powers of the State tax board to pass ! upon bond issues of local units throughout the Slate He recalled that prior to ; Hie election of 1020 the Republicans had ; plac'd this power in the hands of the county councils only to change the proj vision of the law immediately after the : election and put the power back into the - hands of she State tax board. From neutral sources it was learned the commit tee was surprised by the action of rhe Republican phi;form com- | mlrtce in drafting a [ lank fer the abolij tion of the public service commission. It had been understood by some neither party contemplated any such radical Ste-p 1 me member of the platform committee said the plank In th" Democratic plaff'.rm would disclaim responsibility f--r the administration of the public s'-rvU-o ommlssien law since 1916 and cite the record of (ho commission as It functioned during the Democratic State Administration. He would not comment further on the possible action ( ,f the committee.

LOWER FARES WILL FOLLOW RATE CUTTING High Officials Think Railroads Must Go Farther. TRAVEL REDUCED Figures Show Fewer Passengers Are Hauled. WASHINGTON, May 26. - Lower pas ser.ger fares on the railroads will follow the sweeping cuts in freight rates, high Government officials declared today. A strong minority of the Interstate Commerce Commission maintains that lower passenger fares are essential to larger revenues from the traveling public. People are not doing much traveling now un-ler present high rates. This was shown by Interstare Commerce Commission figures today revealing that passenger traffic on all railroads in the United States is 7,000.000,Obi) passenger miles below normal. Administration officials believe the r-ads must cut their passenger fares to a lower figure to attract more earnings from that source. The deeisi >n of the commission on freight rates, which pre supposes a big cut in labor s wage, is not altogether satisfactory to many members of the Cab- , inet. While these members are outspoken in tiie opinion that labor uiav be expected t - share reasonable curs in pay, they are skeptical that th commission's horizontal rate slash will solve the rail problem. A thorough overhauling of the entire rate structure is necessary, they believe JAPAN SPEEDS ! UP PRODUCTION IN SHIPYARDS Plan to Spend $280,000,000 for; Ships and Naval Stations. TGKIO.

Mrs. Curry's home was the rooming place of Herman Carl, brother of the dead man, and Mrs. Carl had come there to see him.

The visit of Mrs. Carl to the Curry home, the wltnes scald, lasted about fifteen minutes, and during that time the visitor informed Mrs. Curry she was the beneficiary of Frank Carl's life insurance money, and was worried because Mr. Carl had a daughter by a former marriage and she feared the daughter would attempt to deprive her of part of that fund. At the time of Frank's sudden and fatal illness Mrs. Curry said she was told by Mrs. Carl, there was a gay party in their home, one of many parties, some of which wpre "beer parties.” Another hit of the conversation as retold by Mrs. Curry on the stand, had to do with the funeral of Frank Carl, at which so many floral gifts were received they covered one whole Side of the room, Mrs. Carl said, according to the witness,, that because of the crowd It was necessary to hold the service on the lawn.
