2 CANDIDATES FOR LIBRARIAN IN CITY

Wilcox and Dickerson Here to Confer With School Board. With rival candidates of two. school board factions in the oitjs appointment of an Indianapolis librarian today assumed the aspect of a political campaign. The two candidates here were Dr. Edwin Mead Wilcox, Chicago, prominent as a botanist, reported to be the choice of Commissioners Fred Kepner and Mrs. Lillian Scdwick, and Luther L. Dickerson, executive secretary, adult education committee, of the American Library Association, Chicago. Dickerson is the choice of President Theodore F. Vonnegut, who is understood to luve the backing of Commissioners Charles W. Kern and Lewis E. Whiteman. Appointment Fails Wilcox arrived Saturday from Chicago and arranged for a conference with Kern for 9:30 a. m. today at the school board offices. After waiting more than an hour for Kern to appear, Wilcox left the school bpard offices, presumably in search of Kern. Dickerson arrived early today and went directly to Vonnegut’s office, where he met Whiteman. Later he and two commissioners visited Kern’s office, where a short conference was held. He was invited here today by Vonnegut. Wilcox said he had visited Kepner and intended to see the other commissioners, except Mrs. Sedwick, who is on vacation. The turbulent situation, Kern said, probably will result in no action being taken on selection of a successor to Librarian Charles E. Rush at the board meeting Tuesday night. Rush will assume his duties as Columbia University Teachers’ College librariran Sept. 1, but will leave here on vacation Aug. 15. Kern said the board probably would defer action on the appointment until return of Mrs. Sedwick in order a conference might be held. Salary Is Difficult The appointment is causing board members considerable worry because of difficulty in finding a capable librarian willing to accept the present salary, $5,500 a year. There are a number of possibilities at a higher figure. Unless board members can devise a way of raising increased librarian salary funds, it may be impossible to pay more than $5,500. Dickerson was said by court mem-

UNITED NORTH UNO SOUTH IS 00QLI00E PLEA Day of Sectional Strife Is Past, President Says at Dedication. Bn United Press CANON FALLS, Minn., July 30. An end to North and South Civil War animosities, fanned for years “for political advantage,” was demanded by President Coolidge here in an address dedicating a memorial to one of the northern heroes of the Battle of Gettysburg. “While isolated outbreaks may continue to occur in irresponsible quarters, I firmly am convinced that the responsible elements in both North and South look with pride and satisfaction upon the brilliant contribution which the other is making to the national welfare,” the President said. He said that the “day of sectionalism is passed,” and warned that those who resort to stimulation of sectional animosities “should find that their standing in the public confidence thereby is seriously impaired.” Tribute to Heroes The President paid tribute to the memory of Col. William Colvill, whose desperate charge with his Ist Minnesota Infantry broke the first and second line of the Confederates’ advance on the •second day at Gettysburg. Only fortyseven of the 262 men who started the charge finished it. “In all the history of warfare this charge has few if any equals, and no superiors,” the President said. “By holding the Confederate forces in check until other reserves came up, it probably saved the Union Army from defeat. “Washington. Philadelphia, New York and the whole heart of the North would have been open to invasion. . . . Colonel Colvill and those eight companies of the First Minnesota are entitled •to rank among the saviors of their country." Taking up the principles involved in the struggle, Mr. Coolidge said some of the ablest minds “honestly differed” in their interpretations of our institutions. Pleads for Sympathy “That generation of the South found itself involved in a net of circumstances which very much of its best thought deplored, but from which it was totally unable to extricate itself,” he said. “We can see now that instead of

300 Pennies Pay Bn Times Special EVANSVILLE. Ind., July 30. —Three hundred pennies were laid upon the desk of Probate Judge Lockyear here by three boys, guilty of robbing a museum collection box. The court as a sentence ordered the boys to earn and return money they stole, and the $3 in pennies comprised their earnings as caddies.

being charged withal) the blame, they were in many ways entitled to sympathy. ... It was humanly impossible for either section of itself to furnish an adequate solution.” The President referred to the earlier "complete prostation” of the South, and of its rapid recent progress. He made a defense of the North’s anti-slavery issue, saying: “It has been demonstrated that what never could have been created under a condition of servitude is the almost natural result of a condition of freedom. Human nature has been so designed that men are at their best only when they are permitted to live like men.” FLAY QUIZZING OF STEPHENSON Prisoner’s Counsel in Attack on Gilliom. Bn Times Special LA PORTE, Ind., July 30.—Questioning of D. C. Stephenson, life term murder convict at the Indiana State prison last Tuesday by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom, “borders on contempt of the La Porte Circuit Court,” the convict’s counsel declares. Piling a motion to exclude from the court records all testimony given by Stephenson to Gilliom, the prisoner’s counsel, Robert H. Moore and Louis Chudom, Gary lawyers, declare the attorney general’s action in questioning their client was “cowardly, unethical, illegal and improper.” The attorney general, Stephenson’s lawyers assert, notified them the deposition which they attack would be taken at 2 p. in. last Tuesday, but instead Gilliom started the quiz in the forenoon, when Stephenson did hot have the benefit of counsel. Bans Knickers on Women NORWICH, Conn., July 30.—Police Chief George Linton issued an order that only men would be permitted on the streets wearing knickers. Knickers for women are “vul- , gar,” the chief said.
