ART BOOKS FOUND TO CONTAIN SOS; PROBEPLAIED Local School Officials Order Payment to Publishers Held Up. FINE DESCRIPTIONS GIVEN Nationally Known Firms Use Texts to Push Wares —Not 1 In Agreement. Payment for industrial and applied art books bought for the public schools was stopped today by W. J. Twiname, business director of the school board, because the books contain advertising. Most of the books, however, already have been distributed to pupils. Each o* the books, published by Atkinson Menter & Cos., contains two full page advertisements in color, one Ir. the front and the other in the back. The first is that of a widely advertised baking powder and the other that of a desert. Under the baking powder advertisement Is printed the following: Ads in Colors “It is hard to draw a doughnut that looks as delicious as those made with” —(here appears the name of the product which also ir displayed prominently in the colored advertisement). Under the other advertisement is a statement telling of its artistic Qualities, but in the advertisement itself is displayed the name of the product in large letters. The discovery of the advertising was made by Adolph G. Emhardt, a member of the board, who said he intended to learn who is responsible. Mr. Emhardt said he found that all art books from the second grade to the seventh contained the advertisements, with occasional exceptions. Local Woman Edits On the outside cover of the books appears as one of the editors, the name of Miss Florence Fitch, director of art instruction in the Indianapolis schools. Miss Fitch said she had no knowledge of the advertising appearing in the books or by whose authority it was included. Mr. Twiname said he would write to the publishers and demand an explanation. The State law prohibits advertising in school hooks and makes acceptance of money for such advertising by a board member a criminal offense.

Indianapolis Woman Recounts Horrors of Eighteen Months Sojourn in Smyrna

Information concerning affairs at Smyrna, the seat of war between the Turks and the Greeks and the scene of massacres by the Turks, such as few persons in America have, is possessed by Mrs. Frances Carr De Langlade of Indianapolis, who recently returned from Smyrna after spending eighteen months there. Mrs. Do Langlade’s father is Pasha John Carr. He has charge of all the imperial estates of the royal family of Hllml. “People over here have no idea of the sort of thing one encounters tn the neighborhood of Smyrna,” said Mrs. De Langlade- “One could not take a walk through the streets of the city without encountering a corpse and that was in the time when there was supposed to be no war. Che Turks continually instigated trouble between Greeks in the city und then from ambU6h sniped off British and French soldiers. The citizens continually have to take re-

GIG FOUR RFIDS REFUSE ID MEET SHOP LERDERS Strikers’ Committee Turned Away, According to Announcement of Hart. PARLEY EFFORT FAILS Attempt to Arrange Conference in Line With Policy Determined at Chicago. Officials of the Big Four Railroad here today refused to meet a committee of strikers who sought a conference in which end of the strike on the system would have been discussed, L. V. Hart, general chairman j of machinists for the Big Four ; system, announced. The attempt to arrange a confer- j ence was in line with procedure i ordered frony headquarters of the j railway employees department of the American Federation of Labor in Chi- | cago for systems which were not par- j ties to the agreement announced with j a number of roads earlier in the week. Involves 3,800 Men The Big Four strike involves 3,300 1 men on the entire system and ap- 1 prcximately SSO in Indianapolis, according to figures given out by the ; railroad here. Hart said heads ot the Big Four , Shop Craft Federation received their formal instructions from Chicago this I morning. They immediately went into 1 a secret conference at headquarters, ; 25% W. Washington St. From this ' meeting President J. E. Boyle. Mat. toon. 111., and Secretary-Treasurer .T. ; 11. Cron, Anderson, Ind., were sent to Mullin's office.

Hart said Scott j 1 told him this was to bo expected from a number of roads, "but a radical change of attitude may be looked for in the next few days.” When these moves were reported to the dally meeting of strikers voted unanimously to “stick to the last man. until an agreement Is reached, regardless of the time necessary,” said Hart. The instructions from Chicago show that a plan of settlement on a national basis having failed the policy of agreeing with a number of strong roads and then dealing individually with the remainder, was adopted. j Roads in Agreement Thirteen roads are named in the 1 instructions as having signed the I agreement as follows: Baltimore Ohio, Chicago, Milwaukee * St. Paul, | Chicago & Northwestern, Seaboard Air!

The city of Smyrna has a cosmopolitan population and receives hundred of refugees from all parts of the country.

Unconfirmed estimates from Armenian sources today were that ' a minimum of 70,000 Christians were massacred in Smyrna and 50,000 elsewhere in the path of the Turkish armies. Refugees along the Smyrna were estimated at 500,000 by the same source.

As the victims ran to the street they were shot, after which the Turkish troops began an indiscriminate massacre.

Every boat load of fugitives brings additional details of the horrors perpetrated in Smyrna. One report was that the patriarch of the Greek Church was hacked to pieces and his remains thrown into the street. Six thousand Greeks, surrounded in an inclosure iu the residence district, were said to have been burned alive. The victims of the massacre and fire include subjects of many nations except France, survivors say.
