Barker, Regular Army officer, assigned to the outfit as Instructor. “Would Handicap Efficiency” In a statement issued today Colonel Fishback said that if Major Barker la taken away from the regiment “It will greatly handicap the efficiency of the organization and will te against the wishes of practically all of the officers.” Colonel Fishback said General Smith, at one time, showed an Inclination to dismiss Major Roberts for statements he was alleged to have made. General Smith also said then that an Investigation would be made, Fishback charged. On his next visit to General Smith’s office, the general told him he had promised Major Roberts the lieutenant colonelcy of the regiment In June 1922, Fishback said. That was five months before Roberts became a member of the outfit, he ■aid. U. 8.

In reply to a newspaper attack on a previous speech by Ryan In which it was inferred that there is a labor Shortage in Indianapolis, he said, “I do not say that there is widespread Unemployment in America, but I do ay that in certain sections foreign labor Is crowding our own citizens out of work.” One-Half Not Citizens '■ “Since immigration bars have been let dowr In America 18,000,000 foreign ars, a number equal to the hosts of , Vandals that destroyed the Roman empire, have come through Ellis Island," said Ryan. “Almost one-half f these have not accepted the duties of American citizenship. Unless action Is taken to check this Influx of the worst element of Europe and Asia the civilization of America cannot be maintained.” C. L. Lambert, Kansas City, Mo., outlined the uroblems of street lighting and uointed out the best methods to obtain results. ■William F. Hodges, Gary Mayor, eac-presldent of the league, outlined the Indiana statue In street lighting and explained amendments passed by the last legislature. State Legislatures were assailed for interference in local government by Dr A. R. Hatton of Western Reserve ■University following the annual banquet of the league Thursday night at the Severin. "Our Legislatures are declining In esteem because they devote about onethird of their time to local matters.” said Dr. Hatton. “The question should be how little the State must interfere with cities, not how much." Municipal Ownership Urged Dr. Hatton urged municipal ownership of public utilities, and said the constitution of a State should delegate every power possible to local government, which he termed “the saving factor” In the United States. Senator James E. Watson supported the local government theory and said Congress continually refused to legislate for certain sections of the country. Watson begged to be excused when fce saw Mayors Davis of Terre Haute and Shank In the room. '"There are two candidates for Gov- ‘ ernor, and both eager for a chance to apeak,” said Watson. “Well, you’re running for president, what are you doing here?” shouted Shank. Delay of Justice Scored Bhank said the Indiana Legislature had gradually “worked on” every city department until the mayor and council were practically helpless. He renewed his fight on utility corporations. Prof. Frank G. Bates of Indiana University, reviewed the work of the Municipal League and outlined future plans. Policemen and law enforcement came under fire of Dan Pyle, member of the South Bend board of safety, Be Mgred the delay In administering

Fireman Who Started Job at sls Per Week, Retires With $200,000 in Cash
Has Pension of $1,280 Yearly Besides Annual Income of $9,000,
BY JOSEPHINE VAN DE GRIFT rrrpj aiTESTONE, n. y„ Oct. 12. \U You’ll never get rich by sav- ____) ing. So says .William J. Wlesener. Queens (N. Y.) fireman, who retired from service the other day worth more than $200,000. Yet he never received a salary of more than 350 a week! And when he began he received Just sls weekly! But Wiesener didn’t get that way by taking $2 out of his weekly pay er,ve*ope and poking It through the wicket at a courteous bank clerk. No, m’am! When he wasn't rescuing lovely blondes from burning third-story windows and carrying kittens down from telegraph poles, he was putting In time turning over little odd Jobs of real estate. That’s the reason that In addition to the $1,280 yearly pension -which he will draw hereafter for his twenty years of service In the fire department, he -will have an annual income of $9,000 from his $200,000 investments. He owns a twenty-three-family apartment dwelling, numerous small houses and 350 lots. The neighbors in this little town where he lives say they wouldn’t be surprised If In another five years Bill turned out to be a millionaire. Right now he’s only 45. • • • I went over to call on Bill to ask him what he intended doing with all that money. Bill himself came out on the porch to greet me. He had on a blue sweater and I could see he was getting a little bald. “I suppose," I said, 'That you’re going to do quite a little flixn’ up with that $200:0007" "Not at all," said Bill. "We’ve been livin' the same way for twenty years, and we don’t intend to change now. Hey, Kate, put on another pork chop! There’s company come to dinner.” • • • HJERE, according to Bill, was the way It happened: He’d always wanted a little place In the country with chickens and so on. and one day, twenty years ago, he sold out his grocery store, paid up his debts, pocketed the S2OO that remained and started looking around. The place, when he found it, consisted of four and a half acres and two houses and the owner wanted $6,600 for it. Bill borrowe J the money eomehow, got a Job in the fire department, moved into one of the houses and the next month sold the other house at SSOO profit. He’s been selling things at profit ever since. Along about 1916 Bill got an idea that there weren't enough three and four-room apartments for young married people and old couples. All the bankers laughed at him, so Bill had to go out of town to get the money. But the day ‘.hose apartments were f finished there were fifty famlllee on the waiting list. • • • r"T"1 SUPPOSE,” I said to Bill, I , "that If you don’t Intend L— to move into anew house or anything, maybe you’ll put your money In a swell new motor car.” "Nope,” said Bill. “Same old bus, 1915 model.”
