COUNCIL VOTES AGAINST CIRCLE AUTOJPARKING Meurer Proposes City Buy Tract for Public Use Near Capitol. Purchase of a two-block tract in the vicinity of the Statehouse to provide a municipal parking zone for motorists in the downtown district was proposed today by Albert Meurer, Republican city councilmar. Meurer opposed passage of the ordinance prohibiting auto parking on Monument Circle because “it is another restriction for the motorist.’’ His motion for reconsideration lost oy a six to two vote at council meeting Monday night. John F. White, councilman who inaugurated the no parking move, seconded Meurer’s reconsideration motion to put the question before the council. Guards Against Precedent The parking question was one of the few issues upon which the present councilmen split. Ordinarily they vote in a block, smoothing out differences behind closed doors. Meurer explained he objected to removal of parking on Monument Circle because “it opens the gate for removing parking from other downtown streets and establishes a policy.” “It takes away space for sixty-six cars without providing anything to take its place. This forces motorists to use downtown garages at the rates established, or ride busses and street cars. If the present space is scarce because of lack of enforcement let’s enforce the regulations more strictly,” Meurer said. Backed by Police “We cannot provide for autos under 1890 horse and buggy regulations. Chicago provides space for 10,000 cars along the lake front,” he declared. Robert E. Springsteen, who introduced the measure, explained the move was recommended by the police traffic department. “I think there should be some sentiment about parking around that memorial,” Springsteen said. Meredith Nicholson, author-coun-cilman, explained his vote by saying that he “did not” desire to prevent Columbia Club members from parking all day in the vicinity of the club. But partiotism is stronger than Columbia Club ties.” Places Patriotism First Nicholson declared the monument is “unique in all America and should be guarded from unsightly surroundings.” The Mayor is expected to sign the measure. It also provides flat to curb parking on Indiana, Virginia, Kentucky and Massachusetts Ave. BANK REOPENS AFTER SUICIDE OF ITS CASHIER Audit Fails to Show Irregularities at Millersburg.

By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, whose letter to the New York Times attacked Herbert Hoover's stand on the prohibition question and on peace proposals, had eiterated today that his criticisms were made as a Republican and that he did not know how he would vote in November.

WAVE SWEEPS H SAILORS TO SEAJINSTORM Battered Freighter Makes Port With Six of Crew Left. By United Press BALBOA, CANAL ZONE, Aug. 21. —The battered freighter William A. McKenney of the Mystic line rolled at anchor off Balboa today, where she had been brought by six members of her crew after fourteen other members were washed overboard in a furious storm Aug. 8 and 9. The vessel gave vivid testimony of the ferocity of the storm that struck her as she sailed 120 miles off Cape Saint Lucas. All the deck rigging, awning supports, ventilators and rails were twisted while a load of lumber on deck was piled in haphazard fashion. Two of her remaining six sailors are In hospitals. Huge Wave Hits Ship The morning of Aug. 8 the rtorm struck the little vessel as if, worked its way from San Francisco toward northern United States ports of Boston. Philadelphia and Baltimore. All hands were ordered to deck by Capt. J. F. Rose. Furiously the twenty men worked to secure the deck covering. Through the day they worked with a high wind whipping across the decks. At 1:40 a. m. on Aug. 9 Captain Rose saw a tremendous wave. He shouted to his men. Six leaped to safety. Rose grasped a winch. The wave broke. It swung so high that great amounts of water poured down the funnels, scalding the second and third engineers seriously asithe water dropped on the fires. Fourteen members of the crew had been unable to get to safety and were washed overboard. Taken to Hospital Then the six men under Rose brought theit battered craft into port while the second and third engineers were taken to a hospital. The Nelson liner American Star, which arrived at Balboa Monday night, encountered the same storm, but was not damaged seriously. Capt. G. A. Petterson ordered her into dock for inspection. He said it was the worst storm he ever had encountered. ID E N TIFYCHARR EDB 0D Y Parents of Adeline Zaccard Clear One Point in Fire Murder. By Times Special CROWN POINT, Ind., Aug. 21.
