RIKHOFF PAYS ‘BACK SALARY OF LADY COP Chief Makes Good on His Mistake Affecting Pay Roll. NEVER ON DUTY Records Show, However, She Collected Her Pay Checks. Chief of Police Herman F. Rikhoff has paid back to the city out of hla own pocket $615.95. representing salary which Georgians Murphy, 1136 Fletcher avenue, school teacher and police woman, is charged by the board of public safety with having collected, although she never worked as a polb-e woman. President E. L. Kingston of the board said today. Miss Murphy's resignation ns a policewoman and Chief Rikboff'a ch-ck covering the salary she is said to have taken, were accepted by the board today. The chief tried to get -Miss Murphy to re>tum the salary, but she refused, it was said. Since the chief had signed the pay rolls upon which Miss Murphy's name appeared, he acepted the responsibility and made good the city's loss. President Kingston said. Mss Murphy admitted she had collected her salary from the city. She said she had taken tt because she had held ( herself ready to go on duty at any time, ! and was expecling a call any minute. j "I went down there time after time; to see Chief Rikhoff, but never could get In to see him. and he knows It.” she said, j “I have the money all right to give back, hut I considered myself on duty . awaiting call any minute.” Miss Murphy was appointed police-! woman Jan. 2 by Chief Rikhoff, and 1 Mayor Shack said so far as they could learn she never bag reported to police ; headquarters for work. Records disclose, i however, it was said, that she regularly collected her salary checks. ESIPLOVED TO EDUCATE COPS. The mayor had Miss Murphy appointed to teach policemen how to read and write better so they could make intelligible reports. That Miss Murphy was not working was not discovered. Mayor Shank said, until last week when he issued an order that ! all policewomen should wear uniforms. “Oscar Queisser, secretary to Chief Rlk-] holt, decided he would personally deliver leters notifying policewomen of my or-' der.” said the mayor. “He hunted for Miss Murphy and couldn't find her. I went down to headquarters a couple of times two or three months ago and asked Capt. Ed Schubert where Murphy was. He told me she hadn't shown up at all. I told him not to stir the matter up be- ! cause we had more women than we needed.” WHOLE MATTER IS REFERRED TO BOARD. President Kingston said the whole matter has been referred to the city legal department. Chief Rikhoff said he could not say whether Miss Murphy would be prosecuted or not. “I didn't discover this thing until two or three days ago. Saturday I think it waa,” said the chief. Miss Murphy was to teach the policemen. I understand. I never knew she was formally appointed (Continued on Page Two.)

UNCLE SAM ACCUSED OF DRY BREACH j WASHINGTON, Juno 14—The Fnlted States Government today stands accused of violating the Volstead act by selling intoxicating liquor on vessels operated by I the shipping board. , The charge was made in a letter to ’ President Harding from Adolphus Busch .111 of St. Louis. Mo., who transmitted a ] .etter from his father, Augustus A. j Busch, telling of the sale of liquors on ; the l'. S. S. George Washington. At the same time the Busch letter was made public, Wayne B. Wheeler, general couni sel for the Anti-Saloon League, issued a statement describing it as an attack by j tile brewers on the Government and as an ! effort to “discredit prohibition." j 1 President Harding referred Adolphus Busch's letter to Chairman Lasker of the shipping board, who declared in a state- ; went today that American ships were exempt from the prohibition iaw When sutside the three mile limit. "Both from the standpoint of lesw* right and from the standpoint of the life and security of our national merchant marine, the shipping board has permitted and will eoutinue to permit the servj ing of liquor oa Us ships, so long ns | foreign ships are allowed to enter and | depart from our shores exercising that I privilege,” Lasker said. Lasker's denial that the government j of the shipping board was violating the ' Volstead act was made in a letter to Busch. BUSCH ACCEPTS LASKER DEFI ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 14. —Adolphus Busch 111, through Oliver T. Reminers, attorney for Anheuser-Busch, Inc., today ' accepted the dell of Chairman Lasker of | the shipping board, in the latter’s reply , to Busch's letter to President Ilnrdtng, accusing the shipping board of wholej sale violation of the prohibition law. j "If Congress will authorize an liivcs- , tigation," said Reinmers, “AnheuserBusch, Inc., will place on the stand a witness who will swear tinder oath that Lasker’s flhst act was to call on President Harding to ask about the sale of liquor on the shipping board's vessels. “This witness will swear that the President left It to Lasker, saying, ‘You are chairman of the shipping board,’ and he will further swear that Lasker imj mediately ordered the sale of liquor.” Asks Harding to Punish Students WASHINGTON. June 1 President Harding was asked today by Senator Sutherland, Republican of West Virginia, to take “proper and immediately” steps to punish students of the United States naval academy, who he charges with slighting Leonard Kaplan, a Jew, in the Annapolis year book.

‘BREAK PARTY LINES TO AID PROHIBITION’ Baptist President in Plea for Sober Nation. IS SUPREME DUTY Relation of Business to Church Subject of Discussion. Calling upon the church people of the nation to sustain the Y’olstead act and to "override party lines and break political ties If need be in the defense of a sober nation,” Mrs. Helen Barrett Montgomery of Rochester, N. Y'., president of the Northern Baptist convention, made a plea for the Baptists to recognize their “supreme political duty” In the president's address at the formal opening of the convention in the Cadle taberLacle today. She declared “the temperance forces of the nation need to be awake and alert as never before" because “the attacks of the liquor forces are becoming bolder" and "they are drawing to their side many of the thoughtless and self indulgent.” Hurling the challenge direct, she said. ‘Tf the Volstead act Is to be sustained we church people must be up and doing. Our supreme political duty lies here." Itj the light to sustain national prohibition, Mrs. Montgomery recommended "publicity in country weeklies, educational articles in small town dailies. Interviewing of candidates and the direct religious agencies of prayer meetings and ! church assemblies must all be called into ! (he field.” DISCUSS RELATION OE CHURCH TO IU SINESS. In discussing the relation of the church to Industrial conditions, the president said: “The most difficult questions are those that center around industrial relationships. The Church of Jesus Christ, which Is also the Church of Jesus the ' Carpenter, holds in its keeping the key to unlock all difficulties. The adoption i of the golden rule of Jesus as a working j policy by employes and workers alike i would replace the era of strike and lookouts by one of peaceful progress. The duty Is laid upon Christians, jo think clearly and act saaely and live obediently j In this troubled realm of human relation- ! ship.” In discussing the question of support j of colleges, she said: "A question that should receive the attention of the convention is that relating j to our schools Education Is the breath of life to a democracy. Free public and compulsory education Is one of the corol- | larles to the declaration of independence, j Autocracies can get on very well with ; education in authority and ignorance In ' the mass, but our policy demands an educated laity, and not less an educated ministry. We Baptists must become enthusiasts for education.

BAPTISTS GATHER BY THE VISITOR. Declar'ng ‘‘Darwinism is the disturbing factor in the industrial world" and "is driving out the spirit of brotherhood and substituting ‘the survival of the fittest,’" William Jennings Bryan speaking last night at the Cadle Tabernacle, started a sensation among church workers here fori the Northern Baptist convention, which j opens today. Bryan did not appear on the eonven- ] lion program proper. lie was announced I ts the principal speaker of the fundamentalist group. It is understood that the fundamentalists will have their candidate for the presidency of the Baptists. Taking as his subject "Tampering With the Mainspring." Mr. Bryan declared that It was a pleasure "to present j the objections to the doctrine of evolution j ns applied to man" and that "no observI ing person can fail to see the growing ; antagonism between those who have taken !up the idea that man is a lineal de- i i scend"nt of the brute and those who ac- | i-ept the Mosaic account of man's creation : by separate ait of the Almighty." HAS NEVER MADE lIKAnW VV HE SAYS. "The brute hypothesis has never made headway among the masses and. as I shall show, has eliminated from Christianity a large percentage of those who have accepted it," he said. "What shall it profit the church if it shall gain ail the college graduates and lose its God, its Bible and its Christ? Education canj not. be substituted for religion. Those • who think it can misunderstand both 1 religion and man’s highest need.” | Pointing out the menace of Darwinism Bryan said: "Darwinism robs the re-j former of hope by substituting the proc- : ess of scientific breeding for the doctrine that, the regeneration of the indllvdual being possible, a ’nation may be born ; in a day. j "The disintegrating and demoralizing In Alienee ■ f evolution is specially menacing today when the world is ready to lay down the devil's burden and accept the I easy yoke of Christ. The intellectuals have led civilization to the verge of a i bottomless abyss. Learned men have | t>nlit battle ships, dreadtiaughts and super dreadnaughts; scientists hnvo mixed poisonous gasses and manufac- ! tured liquid fire; the putting of mind above the heart has made war so hellish that civilization was about to commit suicide. The world needs aa international anthem and there is none save the song that started the Shephards at Beth- j lehem: 'On Earth Feace, Good AVili Toward Men.’ j DARWINISM CAN NOT SAAE THE WORLD. j “Darwinism can not save the world; it I can only make the w reck of civilization more complete.

BOILING POT OF GREASE IS j ALARM CAUSE | Lots of Smoke, Ditto Excitement, Ditto Fire Engines— IJut No Fire. A pot of grease boiled over on a stove j in the State Life restaurant on the first ■ floor of the State Life building at noon today. Asa result, nearly all the fire appartua j In the downtown district turned out and thousands of persons gathered in the streets. Smoke from the grease went up a chute ! and poured from the windows of the thirj teenth floor, giving the appearance of a large lire.

Physicians regard her injury as serious. Frank Wilson, her husband, is suffering from a bullet wound in his foot and Eugene Frank, n boatman. Is under arrest charged with inflicting the wounds upon “Diana,” and her husband. Frank declares Wilson’s jealousy over ‘‘Diana” caused an attack upon him by Wilson and that "Diana" joined in the assault. He struck her with the gun and fired at Wilson, Frank claims in selfdefense. Other residents of the sand dues declared the troilble was engendered by resentment felt by Wilson and his wife over stories rirculaled that they were connected with the death of an unknown camper, the finding of whose body has furnished the Dunes with an absorbing mystery. Authorities are making a thorough investigation. 1

Included in this amount is a small credit allowed on account of duplications of taxes by the State an .deounty.

By SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. WASHINGTON, June 14. —The State of Indiana does not have to take junk from the Department of Agriculture in order to obtain good road building material and equipment, Thomas H. MacDonald, head of the public roads bureau in charge of distribution of surplus army goods for road | building purposes, declared today. The statement was made in answer to a question concerning the con. tention of the Indiana highway commission that It had received enormous quantities of unusable material and supplies from the Government he* cause it was necessary to take them in order to obtain useful equipment. SAYS STATE HAS MADE REQUISITIONS. He also declared the State has requisitioned everything It has ra* ] celved. I “The State authorities of Indiana have the privilege of visiting thff camps in which the public roads bureau has concentrated these surplus goods to inspect them before placing their orders,” Mr. MacDonald said.

"Most of the States do this," he said. "They send competent inspectors to look over our stocks. If the inspectors do not advise the State officials to taka these goods, we do not care. In other words, they do not have to take junk to get good materials.” MacDonald said Immediately after tha war ended, when the army undertook ro distribute this material, and before tha public roads bureau took over thesa duties, goods may have been sent to States without requisition. COMPLAINTS COME FROM INDIANA. In the case of Indiana, he said, corns plaints had reached the public roads bureau, which made an Investigation, and warned the Indiana State Highway Commission not to sell materials which were still serviceable In road building. It Is possible, however, he said, tfcat States may have Junk to sell from time to time. This is made possible by tha condition of goods as they are received from the army. They are listed as “new” or "not in condition for service without repairs.” Some States take tha latter means to secure spare parts. Frequently a State may take a dozen motor trucks, and by , using three or four for spare parts, can put the balance 1n first class condition. However, the remains of the three or four are sold for junk, then. The system by which the public roads bureau operates is th:s: It receives from the War Department, almost weekly, a ; list of surplus stocks. Those materials i useful in road building are requisitioned from the War Department. A list of them is complied here and sent to every State. State officials requisition what they want, and the surplus materials are divided among the States which place ' orders. Most of them cost nothing, tha 1 States paying the freight. A few of the materials are sold on the basis of 20 cents on the dollar, from which 20 cents freight changes are deducted. The Indiana highway department ha3 been receiving from the Government for months such useless equipment as observation balloon winch, thousands of short handled trench shovels, refrigerators. thousands of yards of canvas duck, 1 bicycles, telephone wire and other equipmerit that could not possibly go into the construction of roads. The commission has sold this equipment without competitive bids. All but a very little of it has gone to M. Golds berg & Son, who in turn have sold it. Highway department officials have explained that they took the useless equipment because they understood unless they took it they could not obtain trucks and other equipment they needed. It was explained that the highway commission. when lists of available material and equipment were sent, the State merely telegraphed the roads bureau that the State would take its quota. The private sale of the Junk was defended on the ground that the Government is opposed to Its being sold publicly. HEAVY BATTLE ALONG FRONTIER Manchuria Line Said to Be Scene of Violent Clash Between Chinese.
