Budd, president, and head of other Indiana utilities controlled by Samuel Insull, Chicago multimillionaire.

Its gross income in 1920 was $790,597 and $1,120,073 in 1924.” Predicts Control Budd predicted that all motor bus companies will soon be controlled by the railways. Association President F. E. Coates, Toledo, Ohio, declared proof that electric tractions form the main transportation reliance In cities is contained in the fact that more than 16,000,000,000 people are passengers annually on the street railway systems of the country. He revealed more than 5,000 busses are operated by about 275 electric railways in coordination with their car service. The convention ends Friday with election of officers.

See Long Delay (Copyright, 1926.) • GENEVA, Jan. 28.—League officials here believe the reservations adopted by the United States Senate to safeguard America in the World Court may delay actual American participation in the court for years. Any single nation, San Domingo or Liberia, for instance, might block American entry by refusing to accept the reservations. Too, it was said that the reservation delaying American signature until ail other signatories have accepted the Senate’s changes in writing will necessitate the United States engaging in private negotiations with forty-eight different nations. This may take years, it was said.

eyes on her boy’s face. Ignored the droop of his sleeves. “Don’t cry, just make him know you’re glad he’s home,” she admonished her family, and all obeyed. There were no tears shed except by sympathetic spectators. The three half-brothers, whom Francis had never seen, came forward shyly to meet him, and his stepfather, a cripple with a wooden leg, walked hospitably forward. Francis greeted them with a happy boyish grin and talked to strangers who came forward, but his eyes strayed back again and again to his mother. “Gee, I thought from her pictures mother would be a big tall woman,” Francis laughed "and here she’s just a little mother!” The boy’s brown eyes glowed. SSO Present As the group moved toward a taxi, provided by the Indianapolis Optimist Club, Fred Newland of Houston, Texas, who accompanied the boy here, pressed SSO, the gift of Francis’ Houston friends, inta the mother’s hand. Newland, former president of the Houston Optimistic Club, an organization which 'paid Francis' expenses to Indianapolis and befriended him in Houston, was entertained today by the local Optimists. He related the hoy’s experiences In Houston. Francis and his mother were separated thirteen years ago, when Francis was put into an orphans’ home by his mother, a widow, who had to work hard and did not get to visit him often. The boy, placed in a farmer’s care by the home, ran away and joined a circus when he was 11. He traveled continuously, and when with a fair concession some weeks ago in Houston, picked up a torpedo, which exploded, mak ing necessary the removal of his hands. £t the station to greet Francis also was Mrs. Annabel Parry, 413 Bicking St., with whom Francis lived for several years when he left the orphans’ home. “Folks Are Good” “Gee, but folks are good to me,” the boy said spreading his stumps of arms eloquently. “Why in Houston they were wonderful. I never could tell all they’ve done for me. That’s why I want to make good in the future,” he added rather shyly. “I want to study and do something worth while, so they’ll all know their kindness wasn’t wasted.” At the home, 434 W. Raymond Bt., today, Francis is still full of plans, “live traveled around a lot and I’ve got to settle down and amount to something now,” he declared. “This feels like home all ready,”

When they get him those artificial hands —Just look what he can do!” “Yes, and think how lucky I am that I’ve got my sight,” the boy remarked. “For seven days after the accident, I thought I was blind. Believe me, I’m lucky!” The Public Health Nursing Association will provide Francis with medical aid until he has fully recovered. Artificial hands are also to be provided.

SHIPP, BOARD DENY OFFER (Continued From Page 1) he did, I am sure ho did not take any member of the board into nls confidence. Vonnegut said there w;ts no thought of dismissing Graff. Board member Charles W. Kern asserted that “he knew nothing of Shipp conferring with Ward.” “Os course, if Shipp as a business man wants to offer anybody a job it’s none of our business.” he said. In answer to the question “Does Shipp have the power to undertake such a move in behalf of the school board?” Kern declared that “Shipp has iio power whatsoever as far as the board is concerned.” Fred Bates Johnson, minority board member, who has led the fight against the three majority hoard members in an effort to further the school program, said he was surprised that members of such an organization as the Indianapolis school board would permit outside persons to interfere with the board’s procedure and the selection of a superintendent. Future of Children “The school board carries one of the weightiest problems on its shoulders ever’ placed on any board —the care and future of our children,” he said. Mrs. Lillian Sedwick, majority faction member, said Ward had never been offered the place “by school board members as he told the Ft. Wayne board he had.” “It’s a put-up Job,” she asserted. “Shipp hasn’t any right to offer anybody a job on the school board. I believe that power is vested in the school board members, not in persons outside the board.” Building nans Halted Immediately after taking office the new school board halted the erection of anew $1,200,000 Shortridge High Sch6ol at Thirty-Fourth and Meridian Sts., by Changing the heating and ventilating plans and rejecting all bids on the construction work and the bond issue.

The plans will have to be entirely redrawn. the meeting Tuesday night, Kern was to submit final changes to the board for consideration, but failed to do so. The majority faction had defeated Johnson and Yoke in all their moves to carry on the building program. outlined in this year’s budget. Tuesday night they blocked the erection of four of the six new grade schools, by refusing to let contracts to architects fop the plans. Contracts Returned Architects had been selected by the old board, but they returned their contracts, saying they had decided to withdraw because of “changes in the personnel of the board.” t The new board members have made wholesale dismissals in the mechanical force and have made several changes in the various other departments. The conditions in the city high schools and many of the grade schools are characterized as being “deplorable.” Shortridge is jammed to a capacity unheard of. It has seating facilities for 1,800 students and now more than 2,800 attend the school. Grade schools are made up of one or two buddings with many portables.
