BORAH AND RALSTON ARE IN FAVOR

FIGHT BREWS AS ASSEMBLY GETS BUDGET MEASURE Governor and Committee Disagree on Appropriations, M’CRAY ASKS INCREASES Reformatory and Road Board Omitted From $13,734,031 Bill. One of the biggest fights in the Legislature was brewing today with the consideration of the State budget report and the appropriation bill, together with recommendations of Governor McCray for changes in the latter, now in the hands of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives. The appropriation bill, based on the majority report of the budget committee and providing funds for the fiscal years ending Sept. 30, 1924, and Sept. 30, 1924, totals, according' to an unofficial tabulation, $13,734,031.27. For the first year the bill would provide appropriations of $7,142,578.27 and for the second year, $6,591,453. To this Governor McCray has recommended there be added $20,700 for the two fiscal years. Reformatory Left Out The Governor appeared before the House of Representatives at 5 p. m. Tuesday to make his recommendations disagreeing with the budget department. The fight in the House is expected to result from an attempt to reconcile the recommendations of the Governor and the budget department. The bill as presented does not contain the Governor’s recommendation of an expenditure of $2,000,000 on the construction of the new reformatory nor an appropriation for the highway commission, variously estimated at from $4,500,000 to $9,000,000. The reformatory appropriation will be contained in a separate bill and the highway appropriation will wait upon the proposed tax of two cents a gallon on gasoline. Requests Cut The report of the budget committee Indicated that the request of all but fi.ve or six of the scores of State de partments were cut, many of them nearly in half and some more. The cuts are estimated at nearly $5,000,000. The Governor in his message made recommendations for numerous increases. He recommended that the appropriation of the auditor’s office be increased S3OO a year in order to increase the salary of a stenographer. j An increase of $1,500 a year for the i securities commission was recom- ] mended. For the treasurer’s office he ' recommended an increase of SI,OOO a ’ year. An Increase in the salary of the com- ' mission of insurance from $4,000 a ] year to $5,000 was recommended by the Governor, who asked that the proposed appropriation for his office i be increased $5,000 a year. Armory For Gary The expenditure of $20,000 on an armory at Gary was recommended by the Governor to the proposed appro- j priation for the office of the adjutant general. He also recommended an appropriation of $3,000 for the compilation of World War records. The Governor disagreed with the recommendation of the budget department that the historical commission be abolished and asked that it be retained and an appropriation of $20,000 a year be made. An Increase of SIOO,OOO in the appropriation for the live stock sanitary board was recommerded by the chief executive. The State board of charities recommendation was short | $5,000 in the opinion of the Governor, j $40,000 For FeeblwMinded The budget department refused ap- 1 proprlations for new buildings at the colony for feeble-minded adults at Butlerville. The Governor . recommended that *40,000 a year be expended for this purpose. He also recommended an appropriation of $8,500 to re-establish a brick-making plant at the school for feeble-minded youth. The appropriation of $24 a month j per capita for the State Soldiers' Home is not sufficient in the opinion j of the Governor. He recommended : an increase of $2 a month. Change in the appropriations for the State farm which would not add to the total were recommended. The budget commission recommended the abolishment of the State probation department. The Governor did not agree and recommended a "necessary appropriation” for this purpose.

EX-COMMISSIONERS MAY BE BARRED AS COUNSEL Holmes Would Prohibit Appearance Before Public Service Body. The public service commission no longer would be a "training school” for public utility lawyers under the ; terms of a bill now before the State Senate. The bill provides that no employe or member of the commission shall appear before the commission as attorney or agent for a utility within two years after he leaves the commission. The bill was introduced by Senator C. Oliver Holmes of Gary. A number of former members and employes of the commission are now representing public utilities.

With a drizzling rain freezing as it | fell into an invisible layer of ice, pave- | ments Tuesday night were turned into ; skating rinks. While pedestrians had their share of trouble in making headway on the slippery surface, motorists found it perilous to essay more than the slowest pace. Dozens of minor accidents, resulting when automobile tires failed to find a grip on the glassy coating of the streets, were reported, but no serious mishaps were reported to the police. \

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NOG PRICE SLIDES TO $9 US RESULT OF BIG RECEIPTS Packers Paying Better Prices in Indianapolis Than Other Markets, Shippers and farmers drove their hogs to a falling market at the local live stock exchange today. Monday’s top price for extra choice light hogs of $9.60 has slid down to with continued easiness evident in the day's buying. Shippers were gathered in groups in the stock yards discussing the decline, which was largely attributed to heavy receipts and an overstocked outside market. Wholly Speculative The hog market has proven wholly speculative for the past five days. lAist Friday lights were selling at $9 for a top price. On Saturday the market crept up to $9.50 and over Sunday went to $9.60 on the opening Monday and maintained a steady tone throughout the day, but on Tuesday slumped to $9.35 and down to tho round mark today. Shippers and traders alike have commented upon the independence of the Indianapolis market when considered in the light of prices paid on other largo exchanges. Packing interests have been buying heavily here and paying from ten to twenty-five cents more than the Chicago and other markets afforded, due largely, traders say, to the fact that the hogs marketed here are of much better grade than those received on. some other exchanges. Feeders Gratified Such manifestation of confidence in Indiana feeders was a source of gratification to Indiana farmers who have been feeders of first-class stock but who only recently have received recognition. The cattle and calf markets have been subject to fluctuations during this period but have managed to display a general firmness which would indicate the market could be expected to rule fairly steady, traders assert. The lamb market haa fluctuated somewhat, a premium being paid for fed Western lambs, quite a large number of which have recently been received here.

CONFERENCE SETS MINE WAGE SCALE Workers and Operators Reach Final Agreement, By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—A conference of bituminous miners and operate rs meeting at the Hotel Pennsylvania today, agreed to extend for one year from April 1, 1923, the existing wage scale. Operators and miners from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois were represented. It Is understood that Pennsylvania and West Virginia will come in later on the same terms.

The old wage scale which was renewed today calls for a basic wage of SI.OB for tonnage men and a minimum of $7.50 a day. The renewal Is considered by the miners as a decided victory for them, inasmuch as the operators first stood out for an Increase of penalties for breach of contract.

OF TIMES PEACE PLAN

Idaho Senator Declares Proposed Conference to Head Off New World War Is ‘Splendid and Along Right Line’ — Indiana Solon-Elect Says U, S, Must Take Lead, By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—Senator William B. Borah, liean, of Idaho, today came out categorically in favor of The Indianapolis Times’ conference plan to head off the new world war now brewing in Europe, and which/ threatens to involve this country. The Times plan called on President Harding to bring about a conference of the leading world war powers and there propose a specific program of world peace and world rehabilitation. The

economic problems of Europe, war debts, reparations, limitation of armament on land and sea, with the full participation of the United States in world affairs—all these would be on the agenda. “This is splendid and along the right line,” declared Senator Borah. “If we can ever get away from the accursed doctrine that there is no relief for the present world’s ills except by force and indiscriminate murder, we will be able to do something in the way of relieving present sufferings. I congratulate you sincerely.” Senator Borah Is one of the most powerful figures in the United States Senate, and is now looked upon as a presidential possibility for 1924. Absolutely independent, the fact that the Administration lung ago adopted a policy of aloofness from the rest of the world, Is not accepted by him as sufficient to gag him, now that he feels America is in danger. Sentiment is growing everywhere for American participation. Ralston Favors Plan “Other nations are looking to America for leadership,” said Senatorelect Samuel M. Ralston of Indiana. “Our word, kindly spoken, undgr prevailing conditions, would mean peace. How long can we Justify our I silence?” “We face the early collapse of civil- [ ized society in Europe unless some means can be devised of averting it.” —Sir Robert Horne, ex-chancellor, British exchequer. “Men who know things in the world '■ today know we cannot drift along in- | definitely in the path we are going. The one hope of settling the world right is cooperation between the Eng-lish-speaking peoples ” —Sir Auckland Geddea, British ambassador to the United States. "A public offer of American mediation would seem to be the only rem- ; edy.”—Maximilian Harden, famous I German editor. i “The stabilization of Europe is America's most serious problem. In Europe today we have all the elements of a crash of immense proportions. which, if It comes, would mean the stoppage of production and unemployment on a vast scale.” Must Have Guarantees "There will be no surety of steady work, no surety of steady good business in America, until France is given guarantees against possible,attack by Germany, enabling her to give her undivided attention to economic reconstruction, and allow Germany and the rest of Europe to do the same. Without the guarantees that France must have, no settlement can be possible of Franco-German questions, Including indemnities and military occupation.”—Edward A. Filene, Boston, . famous industrial and civic leader. “To officers of the American combat divisions returning from France, our people seemed apathetic in regard to future freedom from war. Until Americans will supplement their hopes, their fears and their good will by affirmative action, we can make little progress in developing our contribution toward world peace. "The problem is your problem; What are you going to do about It?” —Maj. Gen. John F. O'Kyjtn. A. E. F.

REGULATION ASKED FORAUTOBOSSES Motor busses and trucks operating on a regular schedule would be declared a public utility and placed under the regulation of the public service commission under a bill introduced In the Senate today by Senator Robert Moorehead of Indianapolis. The | measure would regulate the -operation ; of busses between terminals and giv- ; ing regular service, by requiring a I statement showing the need ol the I busses in the field as a common car- ! rier, and providing compulsory Uabil- | ity Insurance to be carried if the permission were granted. The' measure also applies to trucks, I hut. not to school busses operated by i a township to carry children. 'The I hill was referred to the committee on I roads. An appropriation of $25,000 for the establishment of a school for domestic arts and science for colored girls was asked in a measure introduced by Senator English of Marion County. The county council would have the power to make the tax xates for all units in the county according to provisions of a hill introduced by Senator Charles Bait of Terre Haute. ORMECASE PROBE LEADS TO ILLINOIS Eldorado Prisoner Wanted for Information. Police today said they planned to question William E. Reid, 23, under arrest at Eldorado, El., to learn whether he know anything about the Hence Orme murder, if they can obtain his removal to this city. Reid is said by police to have jumped a bond here In 1919, after he had been arrested on a charge of having a stolen automobile in his possession. Police said they had information Reid was In the city about the time of the Orme murder on a lonely road north of the city Nov. 16 and that they searched for him at that time. They admitted, however, they had no evidence which would connect Reid with the murder.

ADMINISTRATION ACCEPTS BORAH’S ROHR CHALLENGE t Official Gives Reasons for U, S, Role as ‘Benevolent Bystander.’ By United .Vetcs WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—T0 Senator Borah, who has demanded to know why Secretary of State Hughes does not protest against France’s invasion of the Ruhr, an authorized Administration official makes this reply: "France would immediately say to us, ‘You wouldn't enter the anti-ag-gression pact to guarantee us against attack by Germany; you wouldn't ratify the treaty of Vervoilles, or enter the League of Nations, and you insist on collecting the war debts which we regard as a factor in any settlement.’ And what could we say to 'that?” * Thus the Harding Administration has accepted the challenge of the irreconcilable leader and shows itself willing to debate the question if the Senate insists. A high official, who is in a position to speak knowingly, outlined tho Administration’s reasons for adopting the role of “benevolent bystander” in a press conference Tuesday following publication of Senator Borah’s criticism. Borah had said that the present state of affairs in Europe was foreseen months ago and that the Administration should have called a conference to forestall the present crisis, and having failed to do that, it should now protest the course of France and follow this up with some effort to bring about a settlement. In reply, the Administration spokesman asserted that the European powers were trying to arrange a conference from August until January 2, but Belgium, who was to issue the invitations, was unable to obtain assurances that the conferences would be successful, and hesitated to enter any discussion which promised to be as futile as the Genoa and Hague gatherings.

LEAGUE MAY BE ARBITER IN NEAR EASTCONFERENCE Anglo-Turk Break Again Approaching Definite Crisis. By United Press LAUSANNE, Jan. 24.—Great Britain will appeal to the League of Nations to Intervene in the allies’ dispute with Turkey and prevent war in the Near East. Lord Curzon, after the Lausanne conference had reached a crisis and Ismet Pasha, Turk spokesman, had again refused concessions demanded by the allies, announced the situation threatened world peace and that Britain would lose no time in taking it before the league. American Ambassador Child, United States observer, presented to the conference a note asking that the "open door" principle be applied to oil discussions, under dispute. Such concessions, he said, should not be monopolized by any single country'. British and Turkey, each striving for possession of the Mosul oil fields, brought the parley to its present deadlock. The Vatican library, in Rome, contains 34,000 manuscripts and about 250,000 printed volumes.
