CURB GASOLINE PUMP QUESTION PROBEDBY FIXIT Citizen's Complaint That Law Is Violated Given to Officials, SHE question of curb gasoline pumps on city property has been brought to Fixit’s attention by Times readers. Why are some garages and filling stations permitted to install and operate these pumps on street curbs? Proper city officials have been informed of this law violation, and the situation has been called to Mayor Shank’s attention. Confiscation of the pumps by police is being considered. Fixit continues to have many complaints from citizens having business at the city hall. Write yours to him in care of The Times. • • • H~] ERE are answers: MR. FIXIT —After seeing a i gasoline pump installed along the curb, I spent two days at city hall trying to do the same thing. Nothing doing. It was agair.st the law. How do they do it? The pump was at 1100 Oliver Ave. “KNOCKED OUT.” Francis F. Hamilton, city building commissioner, admits the justice of your complaint, hut said his department cannot issue a permit in direct violation of law. Owners of these pumps installed them without a permit and are liable to prosecution, he said. In the Bell administration the police seized curb pumps and carried them to the city yards. Mayor Shank has been informed of the present situation and promises to investigate. The board of works, having regulation of streets, has promised to take up the matter with police. Meanwhile, if the law is not enforced, your rights to install a curb pump are the same as other citizens. • • • TO INQUIRY OF A. L.

Trained for Concert Work, but Now Jazzes Up the Ozone

Bud Moore, who is appearing at the Circle this week with Yerkes' Flotilla Orchestra, has been a member of that organization for the past seven years. He is a graduate of the Philadelphia Conservatory _of Music, and has been heard on hundreds of phonograph records throughout the United States and Canada. His work can easily be distinguished by his brilliant staccato passages and pleasing solos. He studied for the concert field, but expresses no regrets at becoming one of "Queen Syncopation's” subjects. -I* -I- + SHOWING WHAT TRAINING CAN DO FOR DANCERS After La Paviva and her company had closed their dance and song offering I was sure that I had sen a good example of what training can dc for a dancer. This woman is splendid on her feet in a dance. So is her dancing partner. Both have that sure dancing touch which marks every dance they do. This comes cnly from careful training. A Spanish dance is done with skill and beauty of movement. The act enlists the services of a soloist and a pianist. The Marigold Trio is a male trio which develops the comedy possibiii ties of a song. Their green apple song gets the laughs as well as “Why Did I Kiss That Girl.” John Olms opens the show with a magic act in which he uses all sizes of watches and clocks. He can make a Big Ben vanish as easily as a watch. Good act. Pisano and Landaver are two men who work along eccentric lines in song. The big man of this act has a real voice. He has personality and a splendid jazz crooning voice. Talent here. A dog and pony circus, Clemens Belling and his family, close the

too much money to turn on the drinking fountains so we can water our horses. Horses are falling in the streets for lack of water. William Kelley, 1262 Roosevelt Ave. W. B. Schoenrogg of the street commissioner’s office said the city discontinued several fountains seven months ago due to increased water rates. The board of works said it believed there were sufficient fountains to care for the present number of horses. There is no appropriation to maintain additional fountains. The natter has been presented to the board of works.

PARLEY AGREES ON MODIFICATION OF DAWES PLAN French Concessions Speed Work at Reparations Conference. By United Press LONDON, Aug. I.—Maintaining momentum imparted by French con cessions, the inter-allied conferences reached agreement in committee today on subect oij possible modification of the experts plan. Committee No. 3, however, struck a stone wall when it came to the question of arran-'ng for cn-b de liveries instead of deliver in kind in case the latter became too heavy for France. Adjournment Taken Unable, to agree, the committee adjourned for lunch, to meet again late today. If the deadlock on this question of cash deliveries —one of the new points raised by the French delegation—is maintained, the mat ter will be referred to the chief deljgates, who will try to settle it in time to send an invitation to the Germans tonight, inviting them to the conference. Col. Jaes A. Logan Jr. of the American delegation is given most credit for contributing to smoothness and dispatch with which the first committee of the co iference approved a proposal that successive tribunals must declare Germany has wilfully defaulted befo/e France or any one else takes any separate ac tion. It is believed this will prevent repetition of a Ruhr affair, although French purpose in preparing more than one tribunal was, of course, exactly the opposite. Invasion Unlikely No one believes that under pres ent circumstances France would ex ercise her prerogative to separate action, should the impartial tribun als disapprove. (The French pro posal accepted by Committee No. 1 is to have the reparations commission decide upon whether Germany has defaulted under the Dawes-Mc-Kenna plan and to give any nation the right to appeal to an impartial tribunal.) The Daily Mail today pointed out that Dr. Bernard Loder, president of the International Court at The Hague, became an outstanding figure, for it is he who will appoint the three final impartial arbitrators on defaults. One of these is to be an Americah. “These three arbitrator* will possess supreme power.” the Mall said. “They will be arbitrators of peace or war in Europe.” ST U DENT IS MISS IN G Local Police on Look-Out for Pittsburgh Man.

With the Candidates

PRESIDENT COOL IDGE — After several hours’ work on his acceptance speech, President Coolidge conferred with Charles B. Warren, ambassador to Mexico, who came to present his resignation. The President found the tariff commissions report on the cost of producing sugar on his desk and is expected soon to make a decision on the feasibility of reducing the tariff on that commodity. SENATOR LA FOLLETTE— Senator La Foliette spent most of the day at his home writing editorials for his magazine. “La Follette’s Weekly,” leaving cam-

FEDERATION OF LABOR MOVES TO LA FOLLETTE Executive Council Recommends Progressive Movement to Members. By United Press ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Aug. I. The first official step toward indorsement of the presidential candidacy of Senattor Robert, M. La Foliette was taken here today at the opening session of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor. A report recommending the governing council, advise laborers of the nation to cast their ballots for the independent ticket and against two major parties teas offered by the special political committee. This committee is headed by Samuel Gompers, dictator of labor policies in the past, and the weight of its suggestion is so great it is reasonable to believe it may prevail as the decision of the entire .council. Consideration of the report is the first business before the council of eleven labor chieftains which assembles hero today to recommend to its 3,000,000 voting members which political candidates will best serve the desires of labor if elected. Decision Sunday Final decision of the council is not expected before Sunday. There is prospect of a tiff on the La Foliette indorsement. Two of the members are opposed to such a step and believe the federation should follow a hands-off policy in the campaign. The report of the political committee, which goes under the title of the non partisan political campaign .committee of the American Federation of Labor, gives complete sanction to the domestic policies of La Foliette, but it is admitted his foreign policies do not coincide with the Federation's desires. La Foliette is against the League of Nations and the world court, while the

Monstrous! By United Press LONDON, Aug. I.—Commenting upon the Franks case, the Daily Mail said editorially today: “The monstrous depravity of Leopold and Loeb Is causing their trial to be followed with intensive and horror-struck interest.” The Mai! criticises the "mobilization of a procession of psycho analysis endeavoring to save the accused from facing a jury and to eonable them to escape the iproper penalty on the convenient plea of insanity. The danger to the public in this dubious science here is clearly shown.” "Certainly,” ft concludes, “the true Interests of justice will not allow the trial by jury lightly to be elbowed aside.”

paign plans to his advisers. He is expecting report from Nevada regarding progress made in securing 2,730 signatures to petitions to place his name on the State ballots as an independent candidate. JOHN W. DAVIS—The Democratic nominee continued work on his campaign organization and planned to confer with Governor A1 Smith of New York in an effort to obtain his promise to be a candidate for re-election. Davis feels Smith will run up a huge majority if he runs again and that his name on the ticket will strengthen greatly the national ticket.

Federation is strongly in favor of them. The committee, however, takes the position that domestic policies are uppermost in the campaign and, therefore, the dissens on international matters may be disregarded. Oppose Foreign Policy This qualification against the foreign portion of La Follette’s platform is the only one the political commltte tacked on its indorsement, as far as can be ascertained. The report, however, will probably be amended by the council. Its details have not been made public officially, but indication of its contents was given the United Press by an unquestionable authority. It will not be given out until the council has acted. Other members of the commltte® are Frank Morrison, secretary of the federation, and Frank O’Conaoll, labor chief. Beside the presidential Issue, the council will also formulate a set of labor principles to which every candidate for the Senate and House must subscribe before he can claim the backing of labor. Sessions of the council are being held in a parlor suite of the fashionable Ambassador Hotel. NEW CIVIC ASSOCIATION Organized to Secure General Improvement In an attempt to obtain better conditions at Waj-flelgh, citizens have formed a Civic Improvement Association. N. A. Nicolai was elected president at a meeting of thirty residents Thursday night. Members hope to secure a general improvement of conditions, including work on the levy, better police protection, and street improvements. Harry B. Templeton, 6230 Park Ave., at whose home the meeting was held, was named secretary. Affiliation with Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs will be discussed at a meeting next Thursday night. POPULAR KID BOOKS Library Lists Favorite Literature of Jackie Coog&n.
