J. P. MORGAN 10 ► ADVISE LEADERS AT CONFERENCE Banker Sails for England— Says German Loan Must Be Secure. By United Pnenst NEW YORK, July 26.—Demanding that security for American investors in German bonds be the basis for th esale of the bonds in this country, J. P. Morgan sailed today for England on the Minniwaska, where he expects to advise allied statesmen at the London conference on reparations. "*• The banker- made it clear in a formal statement he was not going in an official capacity, that this was his annual vacation, but, if he were asked, he would be glad to advise with members of the conference. ‘‘lt goes without saying that as bankers we should not ask the American investor to buy German bonds unless and until the allies have, in their own time, in their own way and for their own reasons, determined on a policy which will in our opinion give security to the bondholders.” Morgan said. "If this very simple and obvious hfact is borne in mind it will, I think, P>e found that most of the questions r.ow under discussion -answer themselves.” OUTLOOK BRIGHTER Delegates Disperse for Weiek-End —Hope Settlement. By United Press LONDON, July 26.—Atmosphere of the inter allied conference was decidedly brighter today. Majority of the delegates left to attend a naval review near Portsmouth, while Secretary of State * iughes and Ambassador Kellogg were week-end guests of Lord and Lady Astor at the latter's country home. They will return Sunday night. High hopes were entertained that difference over guarantees and sanctions might be straightened out before a plenary session of the reparations conference, scheduled for 4 p. m. Monday. A two-day search for formula that would coordinate the views of French and the Anglo-American banking group ended temporarily with Ambassador Kellogg’s luncheon, which w r as attended by Hughes, Herriot, Theunis and De Stefanl. The formula was not found, and with every one nearly exhausted, it was decided to make Saturday and Sunday days of comparative rest and look to the default committee dnd the “big five” to find the solution lon Monday before the plenary session starts.
BRIDGE lANGLE PACES COONCIE Commissioners ‘Up a Stump’ on Payment," Whether the county will pay about $400,000 as its share of the cost of construction of bridges over White River at Kentucky and Oliver Aves., probably will be discussed by the county council at a special meeting next Wednesday. • Merle N. A. Walker, attorney for contractors, asked commissioners whal action they expected to take. No definite answer was given. The commissioners apparently are inclined to stand on the “gentlemen's agreement” enter into last year bv I which the county was to build the Delaware St. bridge over Fall Creek and the city the bridges over White River. It developed Friday that the city let the bridge contracts under the flood prevention law, which divided the cost as follows: County and city, 45 per cent each; neighboring property owners, 10 per cent. I “Regardless of any agreements entered into the city and county cannot legally agree to violate a law,” Walker said. “The law provides how the expense of these bridges shall be divided.” BURIAL AT TniTaRBOR Funeral services for Mrs. Mary A. Nordyke, 78, a resident of Indianapolis for fifteen years, who died at her home in Ann Arbor, Mich., Thursday, will be held there Sunday afternoon.

‘Sirius’ Serious for Dogs? Doctors Say No
lOG DAYS begin Tuesday. Sirius, the dog star, rises with the sun for the first time during the year and casts his baleful influence on every poor dog that happens to be running around.

By Times Special WASHINGTON, July 26.—With j Senator James Couzyns, Michigan, i as chairman of the special Senate j committee to investigate the Inter- . nal Revenue Bureau, succeeding Senator James E. Watson, Indiana, j resigned, it is believed a vigorous - inquiry into ramifications of prohi- j bition enforcement will result. Various interpretations are being i placed on Watson’s unexpected resignation. One theory is that the Administration is playing for Couzens' support in Michigan to offset the La Follette movement. Another theory is that Watson, who did not figure in the Cleveland convention picture and was slighted ! •by William M. Butler, the President’s j campaign manager, is tired of holding the Administration bag and decided to retire. In any event Watson evidently intends to escape the criticism he has been receiving for blocking the prohibition investigation. Watson objetced to the investigation last spring and made a speech in the Senate declaring “nobody expected prohibition would be enforced for ten years/’ TODD REPORTS ON LINEEXTENSION Public Service Commission May Negotiate.

WATSON STICKSLAT CAPITAL; MORGAN IS STATUS 000 Meanwhile Politicians Talk About Senator’s Move' as 'Blunder,' With United States Senator James E. Watson remaining in Washington and his influence with the Administration apparently waning by reason of his resignation from the chairmanship of the special Senate committee for investigation of prohibition enforcement, ouster proceedings against Bert Morgan, Federal prohibition director for Indiana, remained at a standstill today. Watson was - scheduled to be in Indianapolis today, but letters to Watstfn adherents do rrat indicate when he will arrive and lead to the opinion he will remain in Washington until the Morgan case is settled. Watson’s mode of attempting to oust Morgan at this time is considered by political observers here more or less a blunder either by Watson or by Commissioner Haynes’ handling of the affair. Various civic clubs and temperance organizations have protested against removal of Morgan and E. S. Shumaker, president ot the In diana Anti-Saloon League, Friday denied any activities seeking to place R. C. Minton, Morgan’s assistant in the office. The Central TV. C. T. U. Friday protested -Morgan’s removal with the resolution: “Whereas, there seems to be much political activity at the present time to remove our prohibition director, Bert C. Morgan, and "Whereas, we are sure he has done much work that should receive commendation. and that he would continue to fill the office in a very efficient manner “Therefore be it resolved that the Central W. C. T. U. deplores this situation, and be it further “Resolved that we go on record as favoring the placing of the prohibition department under civil service for the better enforcement of the eighteenth amendment.”
