REMY CONSIDERS WALKING IILLIAM H. REMY, Marion County prosecutor, after days of delay, has announced that he intends to see the city council report on Fred Cline, member of the park board, ‘‘if he has to walk over to the city hall after it.” Os course, we all understand that in these modern days walking is a hardship. Especially inasmuch as the city hall is fully two blocks from the Courthouse and the weather-is hot. Therefore, we have a proposal to make. If Prosecutor Remy really wants to see that report. The Indianapolis Times will supply an automobile, together with a driver, tc take him tb the city hall and take him back. We shall even undertake to supply any particular brand of automobile he prefers it he will make his preference known. Seriously, this Alphonse and Gaston attitude of Remy and the city council investigating committee is becoming ridiculous Remy is clothed with all the police powers necessary to obtain any information he may desire. He is an officer of the Criminal Court and. as such has a number of blank subpoenas about his desk. He might make out one of these and send the efficient Claude Worley to the city hall, thus saving himself a walk. The council investigating committee has charged irregularities on the part of Cline. Clin§ resigned as a member of the park board soon after the report was issued. It is high time that somebody is finding out whether the charges have any foundation in fact, and if so, whether any laws have been broken Os course, we know that Remy does not have a grand jury just at this time. The jury was discharged after it had mule only a partial report on the malodorous county institution building'affair. But surely somewhere within the broad confine* of Marion County can be found six good men and true before whom the city council report could be placed. SPEED WAR RESULTS ’T’IUTOMOBILES are crawling through the streets of Indianapolis today. Motorists are not permitting the indicators on their speedometers even to approach the twenty-five-mile an hour mark. Judge Delbert 0. Wilmeth in city court Thursday demonstrated the fact that he means business in stopping speeding and bringing down the accident toll. Now let the good work continue. Why prosecute speeders or any other law violators in spurts. Why.not keep this campaign going 365 3 4 days each year? If speeding is unlawful today it was unlawful last week and more than likely will continue to be unlawful next week. There should be no need for spasmodic- campaigns. INDIANAPOLIS LEADS AGAIN ENDIAN APOLIS citizens were unexpectedly given an opportunity to witness a bull fight of real proportions Thursday. Fortunately, there were no fatal results, except to the bull/ who we are assured, is thoroughly dead, after having been made the target of some fifteen bullets. Cleveland recently was given a demonstration of “shooting the bull,’’ an exhibition that lasted three days. New York is about to be entertained in a similar manner, probably for several more than three days. But for a real genuine exhibition of shooting the bull, we contend that the Indianapolis performance can not be surpassed. IT'S NOW UP TO JAPAN I i S a state paper. America’s note to Japan is “something I-** different.” It’s a genuine oddity. Obviously the heart of Secretary of State Huerhes was not in his work when he set aborA defending Congress in his reply to Ambassador Hanihara’s protest against the exclusion provisions of the Johnson immigration law. “You know I was as opposed to those provisions as you were,” he says in effect. “And you know the President did not like them either. But Congress insisted upon including them and, as Congress had full power to do so, whatever we may think about it personally, legally yon have no ground to complain.” Congress having exercised its power, the note declares textually, “this legislative action is mandatory upon the executive branch of the Government and allows no latitude for executive discretion.” Therefore, the note points out. the Gentlemen’s Agreement, originally based upon the understanding that Japan, and not Congress, would regulate Japanese emigration to the United States, has become a dead letter and Japan “is to he considered released” therefrom as of July 1, the date exclusion becomes effective. And that is that. Thus ends another chapter of our row with Japan over exclusion. But only a chapter. The tale itself has just begun to unfold and its denouement is yet to come—just when no man can say. What that denouement will be depends largely on Japan. It depends upon whether she wants peace or war. This country wants peace. For while certain faults may have been committed by both sides to the controversy, Japan must now know full well in her heart that exclusion came for economic reasons and not. as the secretary of state points out, because of “any lack of esteem for the Japanese people, their character and achievements.” That’s- why we say the future depends upon Japan.

CRESSY A T BATTLE OF NEW YORK He Finds Less 'Preparedness’ Than at Cleveland Skirmish, By WILL M. CRESSY. Illustrated by George Storm lived through my first war L—J anyway. The Battle of Cleveland left many bottle-scarred heroes dead o.i the field. But I pulled , through, and am now among those present at the Siege of York-town. If I get through this I will probably last until the armistice, March 4. And this one looks more like a real war. There is nore of that “preparedness" about it that was so apparent at Cleveland. There are more unbranded mavericks amemfr i the delegates. Sort of. Now here I am, a stout, healthy delegate, sound in limb, wind and voting power. What am I offered? Even the music here is different. At Cleveland it was all "Happy Cal, the Merry Monarch” Here, up to date, it seems to he “The Mikado.” (Only they spell it “McAdoo.”) Son-in-Law At Cleveland it was a “Favorite Son.” Here, it is a “Favorite Son-in-Law.” Not that the Mikado has it all his own way. There are at least four other strong contenders, to say nothing of thirty-two "Favorite Sons” j from all over America willing to offer themselves as a compromise.

In New York By STEVE HANNAGAN NEW YORK, June 20.—“OneEyed” Connelly, famous gate-ijrasb-ing character of the sporting wfcrld, is ready to go to work. After thirty years of roaming the world, outwitting promoters of sporting events out of admission fees, railroad companies of fares and case owners of food, he is ready to quit—the recognized champion of his art. He had one dollar —less the price of a package of cigarets—when I talked yvfth him yesterday. James —for that Is his name—is 42 years old anij was born in Lowell, Mass. HiS left eye was put out with the strings of a boxing glove, when, a-s a boy, he wes performing as a preliminary fighter. He ’is single. Connelly has made eight trips to Europe, two to Australia, tw’enty to the Pacific coast, eight to New Orleans and two to Cuba. His journey’s haven’t cost him a cent. He rode “thirteen inches below the floor of Pullmans’’ on boards, placed on the car rods, and did odd jobs on steamers. “But what has it gotten me?” he pleaded. “Pages of publicity', an international acquaintanceship, a fund of romantic experiences—but I can’t sell them for a dime.” His ingenious efforts devoted along productive lines would have m.ide him \v. althy. • Though Connelly’ is dissatisfied with his plight, there is many a man of wealth who would pay well for his experiences, adventures and acquaintances. Connelly says he is through as an itinerant gate-crasher. Our guess is the newspapers will ten nf his attendance at the next championship prize fight, when ever and where ever it is held. But today' his one sincere ambition is to get a job—and of his thousands of acquaintances not one will fake him seriously.

Drowsiness By HAL COCHRAN From the break of the morn there’s a thought that is kind; a thought that most every one’s had. Just stop, now, and think: it’s been yours, you will find. Tt’s a thought that makes any one glau. In rho long morning hours, while you’re working away, to evening your thinking will roam. You look to the Cine when your work turns to play, and you rest while you’re reading at home. Wh.it jov ’to sink down into an old rocking-chair and let all the world travel oy 5 our brain is at ease and you haven’t a care. You can rest, you can read, you can sigh. Through page after page of a novel you'll look. Sometimes, half way through you'll begin it. No matter how droll or how thrilling the book, you’ll always find restfulness in it. Ah, ves, it is nice, when the eve ning hours come, in reading to bury thought deep. But reading even tually makes you ho, hum, and it's nicer to fall off to sleep.

JOHNSTON TO BE LAST . KEYNOTER Man Not 'in Politics' Will Open July 4 Meeting, ’St/ Times Special CLEVELAND, June 20.—Last but not least of the keynoters for 1924 will come William H. Johnston. Johnston isn’t a Senator, nor a Representative, nor a Governor, nor even an assemblyman. Hu isn’t “in politics.” He Isn’t running for anything. He is interested in things political. His interest centers around policies, not parties. Johnston will call to order in the B. of L. E. auditorium July 4 the meeting that may launch the independent Republican candidacy of Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin. The Cleveland meeting, it should be remembered, will start off as a “conference,” not a convention. Talk Indorsement It is called as an occasion on which individuals and organizations decide w-hich candidate of the major parties shall be indorsed, if any, as the more progressive. If the Democratic convention follow's the Republican example of nominating a reactionary, the convention will back the fighting progressive Senator from Madison, Wls. The meeting will be called to order by Johnston, president of the International Machinists’ Union, in his capacity as chairman of the national committee of the conference for progressive political action. Briefly, as his keynote for the occasion, he will outline the situation that caused the fathering to be called. He will analyze the platforms of the two old party conventions. He will present, for their discussion the two old party candidates. Unions Represented Among the organizations which have been invited to send delegates to the conference are the sixteen railroad brotherhoods, the most influential and numerically powerful organized group in the country: the typographical and printing trades unions, nothing workers, mptai workers, telegraphers and the whole field Qf organized labor. Farmers will be represented through various State and farm or ganizatlons. such as the Farmers’ National Council, the Progressive I’artv of Idaho, the Non partisan League of North Dakota and State farm bureau groups Women will have t direct representatlon through Th< Women’s National Trades Union League and the Women's Committee for Political Action.

NO RELIEF FOR MONEY COMMITTEE Campaign Expense Body to Benefit by Past Experience, Times Washington Bureau, !M2 Sew York Are. WASHINGTON. June 20.—There's one congressional committee for which the summer recess will be no vacation, unless the auditing of millions during tho three hottest months of the year can be so styled. It is the committee headed by Senator Borah of Idaho, which was authorized to investigate campaign expenditures of candidates seeking election to Federal offices in November. Judging by the 1920 campaign, the expenses of the two big parties are certain to go into huge figures. The committee will have the benefit of the experience of a similar committee, headed by former S. natnr William B. Kenyon of lowa, which held public hearings on campaign expenses in 1920. Kenyon and his colleagues audited expenditures totalling more thiyi $15,000,000. Os this enormous amount the Republicans spent $9.700,73S and the Democrats $2,537,750. The remaining $2,980,000 was spent by the si ventcen presidential candidates in the preconvention campaign. The Republican expenses were divided ns follows: National commitfee. $5,319,729: congressional committee, $3(5,909: Senate committee. ?326.a50. The State committees spent an aggregate of 52.07R.0fi0, while the deficit by the national committee was sl,fioo,ooo.

Science F. A. Mitchell-Hedges, scientist j and big game fisherman, is furnishj ing more proof of his theory that animals of the reptilian age still exj ist In the ocean. His latest rej searches have been made In the Caribbean Sea, where he has caught many great fish, with rod and line. Including a shovel-nosed shark that weighed 237 pounds. Mitchell-Hedges say that the earliest animals known to science are I the corals and sponges. They have j remained corals and sponges for j 25.000HM)0 years. Sea anemones and j jellyfish also existed. In practically ! the same form, during the early ages j of the earth as they do today. ThereI fore, he says, there is no reason why | greater and more ferocious creatures jof the Mesozoic period should not i exist in the ocean, and many of the j creatures be has seen and caught indicate the accuracy of his contentions, at least so far as fish life is concerned. As to mammals, he says, there is plenty of evidence that the marine j equivalent of the great dinosaurus ! may still lurk in the ocean depths.
