SCHOOL ANNEX JOB MUST WAIT No Chance to Relieve Jam at Washington This Year. Construction of an addition to Washington high school to relieve crowded conditions, as asked at an organization meeting of patrons of the school Tuesday night, is impossible this year, Charles W. Kern, school board president, said today. Patrons of the school who organized the George Washington Club proposed an addition for vocational training departments and for a separate boys’ gymnasium, which it was said would accommodate 600 additional pupils. The present enrollment, three semesters after the school opening, is 1,125 pupils, near the saturation point of 1,200 pupils. “The board realizes the need for more space at Washington high school,” Kern said, “but a worse situation prevails at Crispus Attucks and Broad Ripple high schools, and the situation at Arsenal Technical high school is nearly as bad. Officers elected at the school meeting Tuesday night were: George E. Oren, president; W. W. White, vice-president, and William J, Clark, secretary-treasurer. A constitution and by-laws committee was appointed, composed of Walter G. Brown, William Emmerich, district chairmen, and Dr. W. C. Sherman, H. C. Williams and W. G. Gingery, members. The next luncheon will be held at the school Feb. 19.

CITY LOSES FIGHT FOR PETTIS YEGG SUSPECT James Martin, alias Wilson, alleged member of the band of yeggs who staged the Pettis Dry Goods Company $6,000 safe robbery, probably will not be returned to Indianapolis for trial, according to Detectives George Stone and Claude Johnson, who returned today from Chicago, where Martin and Benjamin Salkin. another of the gang, have been fighting extradition here. Martin likely will be returned to California to serve the remainder of the life term he was serving when he escaped from the Folsom prison there, the detectives said. Salkin will be turned over to postal inspectors and brought back here, the federal judge before whom Salkin has been fighting extradition indicated.

Ban War Play, Says Lady Astor

BY HENRY T. RUSSELL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Jan. 17.—Mothers hold one of the keys to the future peace of the world, in the opinion of Lady Astor. Britain's first woman member of parliament made this observation in an interview in which she explained some of her contentions regarding international relations, including the following: 1. That international discord would be reduced considerably if men were judged more by the quality of their thoughts than by their nationality. 2. That Anglo-American relations of a friendly nature are essential to the future peace of the world. “If instead of allowing their children to ‘play soldiers,’ mothers and teachers would teach them St. Paul’s saying: ‘God made of one blood all nations,’ they would be helping the nations of the world to get together,” she said. In that manner, she explained, the world’s mothers have it in their pywer to guide the future trend of peace.

Respect Men Only for Their Goodness

“After all,” she added, “what difference does it make whether a man is an American, a Frenchman, a German or an Englishman? What does it matter whether or not he is rich or poor? It is not nationality or position in life which count, it is quality of thought! “To me a human being is not just a Catholic or a Jew, or an Englishman or an American. He simply is one of God's creations, originally intended to resemble God. "Now CJod is good, and, regardless of nationality or religion, or social or financial position in life, the better a man and his thoughts are then the nearer he comes to being the image of his Creator. That is why. personally. I don’t care who a man is. I don't care what his position in life may be. I don’t respect a man for his position. All I respect is the amount of goodness that’s in him. "You see it's this way,” she continued, “the way we think of people makes all the difference in the world in the way we treat them. And if this is not always the case—well, then it should be. ‘‘l feel sure that if the politicians who attend international conferences were to take into consideration their respective qualities of thought rather than to dwell as much as they usually do upon their differences of opinion as nationals of their respective countries, greater mutual respect would prevail and result in more successful work. “I may say that quality of thought knows no nationality. What it really amounts to is that I think international discord would be considerably reduced if men were judged more by the quality of their thoughts than by their nationality.

Human Beings Can Control Their Instincts

“Personally I know what to think of a visitor a verv short time after he has entered the room. It is instinctive with me. “There is a difference between impulse and instinct. It is harder to cheat an impulse than it is to control one’s instinct. ‘‘The mere fact that human beings can control their instincts, for instance the carnal instinct, is really the only thing which differentiates man front beast. “Men are taught from childhood to control the carnal instinct. Those who do are good men. Those who don’t, do evil. And there is no pleasure in doing evil. "Ask any man who has committed adultery, for instance, to tell you if it was worth it?” Try to picture an extraordinarily attractive and vivacious English peeress with an American accent, standing on the floor of the house of commons here hurling a succession of machine-gun-like epithets at half a thousand austere politicians. Then, while retaining this mental picture of Lady Astor, substitute the poliitcal background for a cozy, feminine, gray-carpeted room in Mayfair and imagine Lady Astor kneeling on the floor with her back to the Are. Thus it was that she received the United Press correspondent and chatted with him for a short time.

Proposes Ban on Bombastic Politicians

"How does it feel to have two countries?” she was asked. The answer came swiftly and was an indirect one: “I have been referred to over here as ‘an American.’ I, an American? They don’t seem to realize that I am a Virginian.” “You know, of course,” she added with a significant smile, “that one of the outstanding traits of character of Virginians is their fighting spirit. However,” she concluded hastily, “although 1 am both a Virginian and a fighter I don’t believe in ‘my country right or wrong.’ I want my country to fight wrong—and be right every time.” What, she was asked, is the best way to obtain permanent peace; on earth? “If the nations of the world want peace,” was the typical Astovian reply, “they must not encourage bombastic politicians.” Asked whether or not she believed that Anglo-American friendship was advisable in the interests of world peace she answered even more briefly: “Yes. Essential.” Lady Astor was reluctant to talk about hersblf. She is described by some of her friend 6 as "undoubtedly the busiest woman in England.” Besides attending parliament with persistent regularity in the afternoons and sometimes until late at night, she works at home from early mornings. She keeps a staff of secretaries busy answering literally hundreds of letters a week. Many of them include histories of their authors’ troubles. Some appeal for financial, others for moral help. None are ignored. She accepts as many invitations as possible to be personally present at an unbelievable number of public or private functions for charity or other good causes.

World Beginning to Realize It Needs Women

Yet despite all this which takes up from twelve to eighteen hours of her time every day in the year, she manages to be fin the words of her most intimate friends) “an admirably devoted mother” to her six children. During the conversation she explained that it was “sheer lack of time in which to make lengthy speeches or to prepare complicated replies” which caused her to cultivate the habit of making those quick repartees for which she is famed the world over. The following was the challenging reply to the correspondent’s last question which, in effect, asked how the disarmament problem would be solved: “I don’t know,” she snapped, “but what I do know is that if men don’t do something about it, women will!” Then, as though to make the possibility loom as quite a probability: “Electricity,” she added, “has existed ever since the world began, yet it was only discovered comparatively recently. Woman, too, has existed from the beginning, yet man is only just beginning to realize that the world needs her!”

BOARD ORDERS CENTRAL AVE. BRIDGE REPAIRED Work to Start in Spring; Cost Will Be $15,000. The board of works today adopted a resolution to repair Central avenue bridge over Fall creek. City Engineer A. H. Moore estimated the cost will be about $15,000 to put the span in good condition. Work will be done this spring. Water has begun to undermine the piers. The bridge is not dangerous and can be repaired without closing it to traffic, Moore said. Moore conferred with Theodore Dammeyer, board president, relative to the repair of the West New York street bridge over White river, which will cost about $75,000 to condition. The bridge, built by the county, is in need of major repairs, Moore said.

NAMED CZAR; CLERK CALLS IT FAIRY TALE Paris Pretender Takes Job, Wished Upon Him, Seriously. BY GEORGE KENT United Press Stuff Correspondent PARIS, Jan. 17.—Action of the Russian monarchist supreme council in transforming Prince Nikita, modest young bank clerk and student into pretender to the Russian czardom, seems to Nikita like a chapter from a fairy tale. But Nikita, only 28. and heretofore one of the humbler members of the Russian colony here, has accepted the selection with the greatest seriousness. "My choice as emperor was so sudden and so new that I have not yet had time to realize the full solemnity of the office and the responsibilities entailed,” said Prince Nikita. “Besides, the supreme council is not yet ready to proclaim the choice. They are waiting for the elapse of a decent interval after the death of Grand Duke Nicholas before doing so.” Nikita was chosen in preference to half a dozen grand dukes because he has “the bearing and attitude of a monarch.” Every day Nikita has been arising at 7 a. m. and riding a subway train to his job as a bank clerk. Considerable responsibility and a certain amount of danger go with his new place. The prince now is recognized as the symbol of anticommunism. He is charged with directing foes of the Soviet regime, aided by his advisors. Nikita lives with his wife and 5-year-old son, Prince Nikita, in a small apartment. A gray-haired Russian maid serves them, but both

The Governor’s Mansion Governor and Mrs. Harry G. Leslie today were established in the Governor’s mansion at Pennsylvania street and Fall Creek boulevard, north drive. The city owns the buildings and grounds, formerly part of the old Kahn estate. The property came to the city through condemnation when Fall creek boulevard was constructed. Having no use for it the city leases it to the state without cost. The state provides beautiful furnishings for the mansion. The three Leslie sons will remain in Lafayette until the present school semester ends next week and then join their parents here and start in Indianapolis public schools.

Nikita and his wife. Countess Vorontzoff, help in the housework. The prince is ' known as “Mr. Romanoff” at the bank where he works. Father Says It’s a Mistake Bh United Prees CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—Grand Duke of Russia, in a statement here today, said he could not understand Paris dispatches announcing the election of his son, Prince Nikita, to the lost throne of Russia, as successor to the late Grand Duke Nicholas. Alexander recently spoke, in Indianapolis. “There is surely some mistake about this matter,” Gand Duke Alexander said. “In the first place, there could

be no election to a throne. It is not election by a group, but the choice of the people that counts. And why should there be anything secret about a meteing that was held in Paris? If the action is right there would be no need for sefcrecy. “Grand Duke Cyril is successor to the throne,” he said. “He proclaimed himself czar, being next in line of succession. There cannot be two czars. Grand Duke Nicholas never pretended to be czar. He was leader of the White movement. “And as my son Nikita has been a member of the White group, I feel that perhaps what happened was that he was chosen as leader, not czar by the group.”

STICKER RULE CHANGES URGED BT COUNCILMAN Specific Authority to Make Exemptions Advocated by Springsteen. Amendment of the city traffic code to provide some specific authority to cancel stickers in emergency cases was advocated today by Robert E. Springsteen, traffic chairman of the city council. “Police had no specific authority to excuse any one under the old code, but they assumed it. There was no intention on the part of the council to eliminate the exemption from traffic stickers and we provided for it, but failed to designate who had the authority to cancel them,” Springsteen said. “It is likely the ordinance will be amended. There will have to be some other minor changes. We overlooked some matters. “The code will be change specifically to provide that corporations and persons owning autos jointly will be subject to the sticker fines- “ There is no reason why corporations or business houses sohuld be exempted.” Forty-two men and seven women, the first motorists arrested for failure to heed stickers and pay $2 fines under the new traffic ordinance, were slated at police headquarters today. They were served affidavits placing them under arrest by district police officers late Wednesday. A total of 204 affidavits are being served. Defendants are not being taken to headquarters and placed in cells, but are being slated and ordered to appear before Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron the second day following service of the affidavits. Those served late Wednesday will appear in court Friday.
