BETTER SERVICE SOUGHT TO HANDLE BUTLER TRAFFIC

LEGAL SOTO ASKED ON CAR ROUTE CHANGE ? Works Board Questions Its Authority to Shift Fairview Line. Corporation Counsel John- W. Holtzman was asked for an opinion on the authortiy of the board of public works to reroute street cars to serve the Fairview community today by Oren S. Hack, board president. The board has considered for some time the rerouting of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company Fairview line with the view of serving Butler University students and residents of the Vicinity. All Plans Opposed “We want to know our powers before taking any action in the matter. The question has been before the board for several weeks and we are anxious to dispose of the issue,” Hack said. Several routes have been proposed to the board, but all plans have met opposition. Improvement of Boulevard PI. between Forty-Sixth and Forty-Ninth Sts. has been held up by the board, pending an agreement on the street car question. It originally was proposed that the railway extend the present Fairview line northward on Boulevard PI. to turn west on Forty-Sixth St., the main entrance to the Butler campus. Butler authorities and the board expressed opposition to a car track on the principal entrance to the college grounds. Busses Suggested Several hundred residents of the vicinity have filed a petition with the board asking that busses be supplied instead of street cars. Other property owners expressed the view that busses would not be sufficient to handle the large crowds to the Butler field house and athletic field. Mayor L. Ert Slack viewed the streets in the locality with the board, but was unable to decide on a suitable route. Slack said he would confer with street railway and university officials.

CATTLE FOR PURDUE Thirty Head of Herefords ; $ Given University. Bn Timex Special LAFAYETTE, Tnd., May 21. Thirty head of Hereford cattle, from what was generally conceded to be the best herd in the United States, have been given to the School of Agriculture at Purdue University by Henry W. Marshall, Lafayette, formerly acting president of the university and later president of the board of trustees. The gift is the largest of the kind ever made to an agricultural college, according to Dean J. H. Skinner. At the head of the herd is Hartland Mixer, undefeated bull in the show ring, and considered one of the greatest bulls of the breed to be found either in Europe or America. With him are twenty cows, the cream of the entire herd of eighty animals which Marshall had assembled and bred at his farm ten miles northwest of Lafayette. Besides the cows, there are three bred heifers, three bull and three heifer calves. Many of the cows have excellent show records, 'and they have been selected carefully by their former owner, from the leading herds in the United States and Canada. With a careful system of selection and breeding, Marshall improved upon the herd he assembled. Even if a cow that cost SI,OOO failed to produce the type desired, the owner sold her on the market instead of to another breeder, so careful was he in his efforts to produce the ideal type. slackTrealtors meet William L. Elder and Bowman Elder, realtors, conferred privately with Mayor L. Ert Slack Monday on the “boulevard situation.” Slack and the realtors declined to discuss the conference. The Elders have had several conferences with Slack recently and are understood to be interested in developments of north side boulevards.

3 CHINA ARMIES CLASH: CONTROL HANGS ON ISSUE 400,000 Troops Meet Near Pekin in Battle for Supremacy. . Bn (Hiled Press LONDON, May 24.—A major engagement that may go far towards determining control of the Chinese central government, developed along a semi-circular front below Pekin today. The forces of Chang Tso Lin, the monoac of Manchurian province, who has been in control of the j Pekin government, opposed the onrush of the two southern armies. One of the* southern armies was commanded by Gen. Chiang Kai Shek, while the other was under command of Gen. Feng Yu Hsiang, the so-called Christian “general,” who long has sought a return to the northern capital at Pekin. Onl ythe most meager news reached London, but there were indications the struggle for control was assuming great proportions. Fighting was reported bitter and heavy. The front extended from Nankou pass, through Paoting-Fu to Tsangchow. Eespecially vigorous was the battle along the PekinHankow River, which almost evenly divides the new north-south front. The two forces were variously estimated at between 400,000 and 450,000 men. There were indications that Chang, who sought peace unsuccessfully, had sent out his armies to protect northern country that he had controlled. Previously he had conferred with his generals in a war council at Pekin and this battle along the sim-circular front may have been a result of that war con- i ference.

ITALIAN FLAG IS TORN DOWN; THRONGS RIOT Austrian Students’ Rage Roused: Emblem Put Back by Troops. Bis United Brens • INNSBRUCK. Ausetria, May 24. Students tearing down the flag from above the Italian consulate today precipitated an international incident that threatens to become serious. Because the flag was torn down, ( the Italian consulate demanded that’ it be restored with military honors. At 1:30 p. m. a detachment of thirty Austrian soldiers, in command of a lieutenant, swung to a halt before the consulate building and raised the Italian flag ceremoniously from the top of the building. The consulate personnel stood in the windows and gave the fascist salute—arm extended upward and out straight from the shoulder —as the flag was hoisted. A great crowd, attracted by the incident, became enraged at the presence of the Italians and began

HARMONY AIM I GF DEMOCRATS Dry Enforcement Plank Is Being Urged. Bit I niled Preys WASHINGTON, May 24.—A harmony platform with a prohibition enforcement plank is being planned oy Democratic leaders here for adoption at the Houston convention. Authorities professing to speak for Governor Alfred E. Smith brought forward the suggestion unofficially and it has been taken, up by many of the dry leaders of the party here. Smith’s friends say his prohibition stand has been much misunderstood; that he advocates nothing to infringe upon the Eighteenth Amendment and that he has never preached nullification. A strong law enforcement plank will meet the situation, the leaders here think. If their plans carry, the chief point of dispute over the platform will be ironed out. Fight over the same question which developed in the San Francisco and New York conventions will be avoided. Refinance your auto payments now on easier terms. Confidential and quick.
