CITIZEN TRAINING IS UNDER WAY AT SOUTHERN CAMP i Hoosier Youths Arrive and Learn Military Life During Stay. By DOROTHY STANHOPE, Times Staff Correspondent. CAMP KNOX, Ky., July 31. —The Citizens Military Training Camp is in full operation. Friday and Saturday were busy days for the camp for the applicants were coming in by the hnudreds. However, with the exception of a few stragglers they are all in now. Os the 4,000 applicants more than 200 were rejected on account of physical disqualifications . Some of the younger boys have been very homesick already, and begged to be allowed to go home. When their officers cannot persuade them to overcome this the boys are discharged. Sunday Is Rest Day Sunday is a day of rest throughout the camp. Many of the boys attended mass at 7:30 in the camp chapel. A priest comes from a neighboring town At 10 o’clock there were Protestant services for the C. M. T. C. in the Havmarket. An Army chaplain conducted this service, but the chief feature was an address of welcome by the C. M. T. C. commander. Col. Peter Traub. Colonel Traub is a brilliant officer, with the experience of two wars, and •siveral decorations to his credit. His attitude toward these boys is that of a kindly father toward his sons, but with it all there is the military discipline without which a successful camp would not be possible. Boys Are Congratulated He congratulated the boys and their parents on the patriotic spirit which had prompted them in giving this time to the Government. In doing this they have shown their appreciation of the benefits of American citizenship. The boys spent much of the day in wandering over the big reservation. There are paths leading in all directions, through woods, down ravines and up into the hills. Snow Mountain and Indian Head are the highest hills ami many boys climbed them. Down the picturesque ravine, through which the old Dixie Highway winds its way are many springs and favorite picnic places, not to be mention the cave, famous by reason of having been the hiding place of Frank James of bandit renoun. Early to Bed The boys were in bed early as regular hours are part of the discipline. Two officers live in each barrack building. There is no question as to the carrying out of orders. Reveille on Monday was at 5:30, at 6:15 was breakfast, and a little later inspection. So keen Is the competition for first place in inspection results that swift punishment Is visited by his comrades on any boy whose fault the coveted honor is lost.

BEMIS WITNESS IN WATERBEARING (Continued From Page 1) through the canal and would result in a decrease in valuation of the property by $517,599.71, using the cost of reproduction less 15 per cent depreciation basis of computation. Operating Cost More The cost of operating the steam system would amount to $43,802.68 more than the present system, he said, and its cost for rate making purposes should be figured at $893,059. But it would do away with the canal, the value of which south of Holton St- the commission fixed at $1,410,658.71. Bemis said the canal was used primarily for supplying power to the W. Washingtn St. station and also for supplying Industrial plants. “The water consumer should not be required to pay a return on this property in excess of its value as a producer of water power for pumping purposes,” Bemis said. “If other uses to which the canal can be put will not yield revenue sufficient to carry the excess of true value of the hydraulic property over the cost' of substituting steam pumping. It should be sold.” Steam Pumping Better Steam pumping, he said, is far more efficient as the hydraulic system is Ineffective when White River is extremely high or low and its operation is impaired by Ice in winter. Bemis gave the value of pipe as $523,252.15 less than the Ague given in the commission valuation. He explained this by saying he used the prices actually paid for the pipe, while the commission figures were based on average cost quotations taken from trade papers over a period of years. He added that if sufficient time had been available he was convinced a similar state of affairs would have been found as to valuation of meters, hydrants, etc. This statement brought forth a storm of protest from water company attorneys, who insisted it was nothing but an expression of opinion. Bemis completed his testimony before the noon adjournment. The hearing continued throughout the afternoon. GIRLS RETURNED HOME Parents of Quartette Take Daughters in Charge After Detention.

COUNTY MAY ASK' COMPETITIVE BIDS Fairbanks - Morse Company Has Several Rivals, That the eighteen acres to be sold by Marion County from the site of the old workhouse at Twenty-First St. and Northwestern Ave. will not go to Fairbanks, Morse & Cos. without competitive bids being offered was the opinion today of County Attorney Emsley W. Johnson. “I have heard that several real estate firms intend to offer bids at the auction, and I hope they will,” he said. The Fairbanks-Morse Company was the originator of the idea to seil the place, claiming a $10,000,000 expansion will be possible if they can buy the ground reasonably. The county council fixed the minimum price at $150,000, whereas the company representative stated about $70,000 would be the limit of his firm’s bid. Johnson today agreed with representatives of the company the county shall have use of a switch into its remaining land In case it sells part.

"Nobody Ever Wants a Baby Boy, ” Cry of Quartet Waiting \ Adoption

“I’ll tell the world that girls are certainly getting all the good things in life these days,” Baby Vincent, age 6 months, would declare if he could talk. He has spent the entire half year of his life in the nursery of St. Elizabeth’s Home waiting for someone to adopt him. According to Miss Mayme O’Connell, in charge of the home, there are many applications on file for girl babies, but no one has even taken a second look at Vincent and the three others baby boys who are in the market for homes. St. Elizabeth’s is one of the charity organizations supported by the community fund and is a branch of the Catholic Community Center at 124 W. Georgia St., on the steps of which Baby Vincent was abandoned when only a few days old.

CAMP WANTS MORE TO TELL STORIES Doctors Declare Fanciful Tales Are Most Effective Method of Pleasing Sick Children.

Perhaps you recall tedious hours, when you had measles or mumps or some other illness of childhood, when only fanciful stories could keep you quiet. If so, you will appreciate the appeal authorities at the Fairview Settlement summer camp for sick children sent out today for more story-tellers. Several persons have offered their services so far. Doctors said that is the most effective way to please the children. The kiddies were playing today on o’ides, swings and see saws lent by the city for the summer. Toys continued to come in, in re-

0010 MEN OERE TO CONFER WITH RECEIVERM’BRIDE Fourth Indiana Dollings Subsidiary in Court Action, With another R. L. Dollings Company concern, the Clay Products Company of Brazil. Ind., thrown into the hands of Receiver Bert Mcßride Moni day evening by Superior Judge Linh D. Hay, two men thought to be rep resentatives of Dollings interests in Columbus, Ohio, arrived in Indianapolis today for a conference with Mcßride and Harold Taylor, receiver's attorney. Beyond stating that they were neither connected with the Ohio receiver, i In charge of the parent concern, nor with State or Federal officers, the representatives refused to divulge the nature of their visit because of ‘'business reasons.” They did not deny they represented Ohio Dollings interests. No Claims to Be Waived "These Ohio men represented an auxiliary of the Dollings Company there, and they wanted me to waive any possible claim. I might have on i deposits of their firm,” Mcßride said. I “I am not going to waive anything unI til I find out how we stand here, and | I turned them over to my attorney, ! Harold Taylor.” The receivership for the Clay Products Company, which has outstanding preferred stock of $1,000,000 and common stock of $300,000, makes a total of four subsidiaries of the Dollings Company of Indiana in Mcßride’s hands, in addition to the parent In dl&na branch. Situations Similar According to Mcßride, the situation of the Brazil company is much the same as that of other subsidiaries of the Dollings Company, which owns all the common stock. Nothing has developed, the receiver stated, which would indicate that the Indiana company he has charge of has violated any State or Federal law. The time from now on will be devoted to settling up the affairs of the Indiana company and protecting the Interests of the stockholders of subsidiaries. All of the latter are known to be heavily indebted to the Dollings Company and the International Note and Mortgage Company, which financed the Dollings Interests, McBride said, although he said he had no accurate statement as yet. No more reoeiverships for Indiana Dollings’ subsidiaries will be sought, Taylor said he believed. STATE CONTRACT REVISED Several changes in specifications on the new State printing contract, which will be awarded Dec. 1, are under consideration by the State printing board, George H. Healey, clerk, said today. Purdue University will be permitted to renew contracts on its own authority, Healey said. More complete specifications as to binding and printing material will be Included In the new contracts, he said.

PASTOR RESIGNS IN CONTROVERSY REGARDING KEAN Rev, C, G, Baker Quits — Sermon Interpreted as Opposed to Ku-Klux, Following statements made in a Fourth of July sermon which, it is said, were interpreted by some to be adverse to the Ku-Klux Klan, the Rev.

Plans for Opening Indiana Labor Bank Here Sept. 4 Being Pushed

Plans for the opening of the Indiana Labor Bank on Tuesday, Sept. 4, are being completed by T. Herbert Tinsley, one of the organizers. The bank is being sponsored by federated labor unions. Other organizers are ex-State Senator Harry E. Greube, of South Bend, and J. E. Bennett. This bank will become the only one of its kind in the country, in that all trades unions are included in the list of controllers. Stock to the amount of $1,000,000 will be sold. Federated labor will be one of the largest depositors. The controlling interest will be owned by individual members of unions, rather than by organizations. The 20,000 stock-holders are expected to meet within the next thirty days. Plans for the organization of branches throughout the State are being made. The Indianapolis institution would serve as a mother bank with the others in all the principal labor centers.

Philosphy of the ‘Red Caps’ Is Smile Whether or Not Tips Come

They get to know people, all kinds of them, these Red Caps. For the mightiest and the lowliest ride on trains, and get off at stations and have to have their baggage carried. And knowing people they like them —most of them. Folks like the Red Caps, too. They’re a busy, laughing lot. • • • Take Harry Harper, 1022 N. West St., captain of the first shift at the Union Station. He's been at it for twelve years—and still he likes people, their golf sticks, tennis rackets, hat boxes, baskets, bags —everything but their trunks. “I think I have helped about 100,000 persons," said Harper. We try to be courteous to all of them. Most of them are courteous to us. They seem to like a big smile. We try to throw that in too.” There are sixteen porters at the Union Station. They work i. tenhour shifts. And know people? Hear one of Harper's shift: “You sure can tell a bootlegger. They rarely let us carry their grips. Afraid we'll drop them or run away with them.” • • • But the Red Caps don't run away. Who ever heard of one swiping a grip? • • • Tips. Some of them rely solely

PRESIDENT BATTLES WITH GRIM DEATH (Continued From Page 1) symptoms are less noticeable. While his condition is grave, ho is temperamentally well adapted to make a strong fight against the infection. "Pulse, temperature and respiration about the same as shown In the previous report.’’ The “previous report” referred to an official bulletin issued at 5:30 p. m. (coast time), in which Mr. Harding's condition was called “serious.” That statement said: Evidence of Congestion. “The President's condition is as follows: “Temperature, 100.6 degrees: pulse, 125; respiration, 44 and somewhat irregular. There Is some cough and evidence of congestion in one lung. He has taken some nourishment. Except for weakness and restlessness, he has been fairly comfortable during the day. His condition is serious.” That bulletin in turn had succeeded an optimistic one issued before noon. The tone of the 5:30 bulletin caused apprehension because it included the first admission Mr. Harding was in a serious condition. About 7:30 p. m. (coast time) Dri Sawyer, bis chief physician, in a frank statement, said almost any sort of complication was possible. He said pneumonic Inflammation was among the possibilities, though at that hour he would not class it. He said the X-ray examination had been made to determine just what the possible developments of the next few hours would be, and to check ujf on the clinical observations made during the day relative to the condition of the lungs and heart. Dr. Sawyer said at that time the case was clearly serious, but not grave, and that if physicians used the word grave it would be advisedly and would indicate a distinct turn for the worse. Less than two hours later Sawyer signed his name to the bulletin announcing the president's condition was grave. Party in Deep Fear The effect of this announcement was to plunge the presidential party In deep fear. This was heightened by the carefully worded bulletin to the fact the President was "temperamentally well” equipped to fight off the affection. Nothing was said as to his physical equipment for the battle w4i death, for his doctors knew he had practically exhausted his physical resistance. That was apparent when their 5:30 p. m., examination showed a drop in temperature, accompanied by a sharp increase In pulse action and respiration. Then the X-ray examination confirmed their apprehension. The “definite central patches” spoken of in the bulletin were small and not in themseAves indicative of great danger, it wad explained, if the President had a great store of vitality. But what his doctors feared to find this morning was that those patches had spread and grown Into one big patch. That would mean Jlie President had pneumonia in dire earnest —and his condition then would have to be referred to as critical. Sleeps During Night During the night he fell asleep, and that was taken as a hopeful sign. It Indicated the rest might rouse his final reserve to combat the toxins. Bofore he went to sleep Mr Harding had a little milk toast. He seemed to enjoy It. He was cheerful. He was fighting. A few months ago he stood at the bedside of Mr*.

on travelers for pay. The railroads pay some. Passengers give from a nickel to a dollar—sometimes more. Now and then a sweet old lady, unused to travel, Just says “Thank you,” and goes on. Then’s when a Red Cap shows his training. He smiles, too. If he doesn’t he’s not the kind that gets the big tips from the "live ones.” • • • Lots of funny things happen. Handles come off of ancient coi traptions. That's how the Red Caps get in on family secrets. They patch up the damage as best they can, shoulder the luggage and go on smiling. Mothers often leave babies in their care for short periods. Most of them are good mothers, though. They don’t stay away long, said Harper. • • • “Train for Rumph-gumph-trumph-umph," roars the train caller. From nowhere at all dash the busy Red Caps through the ticket room and passenger concourse up into the train sheds- before the caller finishes. They’re smiling a welcome as passengers get off the trains. That helps a lot when you’re worn out with traveling. Maybe we'd all do better If we emulated the Red Caps.

tie, deep in the valley of the shadow. He could do nothing then. The doctors told him so and begged him to go to bed. He shook his head and paced hour by hour up ar.d down the rug of his room at the White House. The doctors said afterward that Mrs. Harding’s fighting will beat off death. Today that same splendid will was being exerted Just as in that other critical period, but this time to aid her husband. She faced the cold facts set forth by medical science as Dr. Sawyer brought them to her. He described her as one "who shows up best under fire.” She kept her head up and her eyes dry. She knew the fight her man was making and all she could do was to pray and smile. Those who came from the sickroom said she 'was doing both. Tanks of Oxygen Ready Tanks of oxygen were carried into the suite during the night so they ■would be available quickly If needed. But early this morning they had not been used. At 1 a. m. (coast time) the President was reported by his secretary, George B. Christian, Jr., to be sleeping. Outside the sickroom there was a constant coming and going. Hundreds of baskets of flowers were taken to the presidential suite. There were so many there was not rooir. for them all. Those that could not be accepted were sent by Mrs. Harding to the beds of disabled soldiers and other sick persons In San Francisco hospitals. Senator Shortridge, the tall Californian, arrived about midnight. He had been waiting in Yosemtte National Park to show the President the wonders of that place. Outside the hotel, the streets of San Francisco were gay with flags and welcoming decorations. This morning the President was to have received the joyous salutations of the city. There will be no salutations today, but from every quarter of the city, from men and women of every degree, station and walk in life, from officials and from private citizens, have come offers of aid and service. Hospitals sent invitations, but Dr. Sawyer announced he would not move the President to a hospital, as he could be cared for just as well in the hotel. ' Dr. Sawyer sad the finest possible laboratory facilities had been placed at his disposal and therefore there was no need of a hospital. Keeping the President at the hotel permits Mrs. Harding to stay near him and Dr. Sawyer believes that is an advantage. Dr. Sawyer is fighting not only as a physician, but as a loving friend for the life of the President. He has called in to his aid Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, head of the American Medical Association, and Dr. Charles N. Cooper, heart specialist of note. He is also aided by the splendid scientific knowledge of Dr. Joel T. Boone, a quiet, unassuming, congressional medal of honor man and navy doctor whom every one likes. Dr. Sawyer Is applying his intimate knowledge of his patient’s psychology quite as much as he is using his medical knowledge. The President’s nurse is Miss Ruth Powderly, a navy nurse—a blue-eyed, cheerful Irish girl, who also helped nurse former President Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Harding. At 6 a. m. there had ben no further break In the quiet around the President’s suite. A few early risers were beginning to stir in the lobby and various floors of the hotel. Deputy Inspector Resigns Resignation of M. H. Dillon as deputy inspector of weights and measures was accepted by the board of safety today.
