CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT Plans For Calling Convention To Organize It Are Already Under Way CBT 5IILDRER MORRIS) (STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE NKW YORK, July 30 A woman's political paj-ty will be launched as soon as the campiisn for the ratification of the suffrage amendment Is ended. Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, society woman and militant suffrage leader anounced here today. Plans for calling a convention to or-6-an:ze it are now under way if uure s. ot efficient time to get into w,e November election, a o awme asamtt voting will be: lired. I lired TO HAVE OWN CANDIDATES ice new feminist party will enter the political field with its own candidates. No man will hn's a voice in It: no "boas' will indicate its policies, said Mrs. Belmont. The purpose of forming a separate party for wemen, the said, "is to put before the voters a new political program with the fresh touch and serioua point of view of wc-men." No money will be lacking to carry, out its aims, acordlng to Mrs. Belmont who. la one of the weaJthi&t women in America and ha been one of tne largest contributors to the suffrage cause. She said manv of the women of independent fortunes, who have financially supported the fisht for suffrage will contribute generously to the new partyn.ni sATioN-winn demand There is nation-wide demand among the women for a party of their own. she declared. Her recent appeal to the women voters to stay out of the oud partle-s and refrain from voting uMU they are "free from man domination in politics, has brought hundreds ' of letters, frc-nr all parts of the country p.edring support to her movement "Any logical woman knows that It she joins a. man s party she beewnw rothing but a subordinate." sa.d Mrs. Belmont. "She is never placed In positions of intelligence. Her pol.t.cal power 1st ufd. but she ha no voice. EX WAll NOT FKtnED There need be no fear the new party will precipitate a sex war. It wl.l not oppose man's interests. On the contrary its program will appeal to fti. best type of men as well as to the best type of women. There is no sex antagonism between broad-minded men and wc-men. but it i a fact that men and women cannot work together in the same oranizitThis is because it is the male's instinct to dominate. Women of diruv and self respect will not tolerate In organizations in which men nd women work together the men play the game of arousing jealousy among the woinn . MTS MEN HAVE M IDK MES1 The men have run the world for renturle.. and have made a mess of it. It is now time for the women, the conservative element of the race, to take a hand. In this country we have now c-rlv the lowest type of leadership." Though the male voice will be barred from Its councils men may sometimes e nominated for affice by the new p-artv. Mrs. Belmont said. There mav be office." w-hich a woman Is not so fit to fill ss a man because of lack of experience. I might add. however, that I could name any number of women more fit to be president r-f the V -S. than either the present democratic or republican candidates." w hew m Fl The. lodge friends of Nick Pundovich of Gary, who was found gu-ilty of murder and a verdict of death returnad by the Jury in the Criminal court at Crown Point on July 22nd. have retained McMahon and Conroy of Hammond, to try and obtain a new trial for the defendant, either in the criminal court or on appeal to the Supreme court of Indiana.

Goodrich was compelled to forego a trip to the republican editorial association meeting at Turkey Run in order to take a hand in straightening out the legislative muddle. The senate convened for d short time this mornlnu, then recessed. After a live minute session the house also recessed. Both houses will re-convene at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

J Tl TO PAY DEBT F INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE) FAUIS. July 30. The suggestion that Germany's time Jimit for the payment of indemnity should be extended to a century so that future German generations would feel the punishment of war was made today by Joan Bey, noted French financial expert and economic writer. "In the course of the discussions regarding the method of payment by Germany two most Important points have been lost sight of," tWlarrd M. Bey. "In the. first place the term of years over which the payments are to be made should not be limited to thirty, forty or even fifty years. It should be nt !evst ion, so that the next generation of Germans would have to pay a share. In the case of an individual, responsicility for payment of an amount due is prolonged until his death unless paid. Since a nation has an indefinite lift why should not a similar procedure be adopted ? "In the second place, where the payments of reparations should have absolute preference over all interest raid to the Germans by their government on war loans. Germany floated during the war about 20n.nfin.oCfl.ono marks in war loans, or about 230.Ono.flnn.OCO francs at the pre-war rate of exchange. These loans were almost entirely subscribed at home. "Why should not the allies force Germans who subscribed to these loans to be content with, say 1 per cent interest during a period of 20 years?" The Times want ads bring astonishing results if their users are to be believed. .

I 1U III Ul AIR TRIP IS REVEALED

E. N. Bunnell Up In Air Hanging On To Nothing Is Only One Experience He Had Friends of 17. N. Bunnell. Hammond automobile salesman and one of the Calumet region's most consistent boosters, had bee.n worried over his actions ever since lie went south with Lieut. Bob Blair on Decoration day to bring an aeroplane to Hammond from Chattanonga. Tenn. Bunnell for several weeks after that trip hadn't been himself, but he re fused to explain his condition. The folks all knew that the trip had beejt jebandoned down around Bowling Green. Ky.. because of "engina trouble" but hat was about all they could get out of him. Mention of aeroplanes caused him to start and act nervous and then close up like a clam. "Well, it was all explained the' other day when I.ieut. Blair dropped in Tor a little visit. He told the whole story ind iw that the load is off his mind Bunnell is genial and affable as ever. It was a pretty exciting trip: much more so than the little telegram about "engine trouble" would ever lead folks to believe. They I e-.rt Chattanooga at 12:15 on Friday before Decoration day. The old plane hit it up to inn miles per hour for 70 miles. Then trouble began. "The engine began to sputter and pop and miss fire." say E. N.,"and I began to wonder where we would get off. I looked over board straight down 4,000 feet and could see nothing but mountains and trees under us." "Well." he continued, "since there was no landing place In sight. I decided that it wasn't for me to worry so I settled back and let Blair work out our salvation. Somehow or other he picked out a place to land. Only four cf our six spark plugs were working. He fixed them up and away we went again. went about another hundred miles when the darned thing began to act.up neTaJ" Once more the pilot was able, to pick out a fiat Fpot In "the hills and landed safely, but getting out was a fftf ferent matter. It seems they had settled in a sort of pocket among tbe mountains so that it was necessary to take the air as soon as possible and point the rlane's nose just as near straight up as possible. When the repairs had been made they climbed aboard and started. Only a few topmost limbs of a tall treo prevented the.m from making a getaway. The ltmha caught on the under rigging of the plane and headed her towards the ea-th. The fall, how '" er. was halted by smaller fref. r.nn there the plane hung nose downward. Blair loosened his safety belt and climbed out but Bunnell, who was in the. forward feat was not so fortunate. "I was hanging head down and couldn't get my feet and hands on anything so that I could take the weight off the belt." he rays. "I tried to open the safety latch and unbuckle the straps, but couldn't budge them. Then the gasoline began to trickle pa-t me and drop on the hot engine. That made me scramble harder than ever, but it did no good. At last Blair esme to my assistance and cut the strap. I tumbled out and the minute we got to the ground the whole plane broke into flames." Incidentally Mr. Bunnell was stung by a Tennessee "hill billy" as a result of the accident. Blair had borrowed Mr. Bunnell's watch and had It on a honk jn the plane, in front of his seat. The, timepiece, worth several hundred dollars had been given to the Hammond man by the National Cash Register company, when he broke all of the company's sales records In 1510. After the fire they started searching for the watch, hut could not find It. Bunnell told the hunch of gaping bystanders that if anyone found the watch and returned it to him in good condition he would reward him with $35. Even if bndly damaged he would pay $10 if it was sent to him. Yesterday lie received a rackage from a little burg in Kentucky. It was sent C. O. P. and Bunnell had to pay $15 before he cou!d take it from the expres office. When he opened it he found the watch, but it was so badly burned that It was almost unrecognizable. NOT THAT KIND 0FA PARISIAN f INTER NATIONAL NEWS SERVICE 1 PATHS. July 30. Mme. Marie Veronna. president of the French Suffrage, Association, was today awarded $S0.00 damages against the Weekly Comic paper. "LaVIe Parisienne."

BART CAMPBELL. 1STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE! MAKION. O.. July 30 Senator barren G. Harding, republican nominee for president and his advisers were going ahead today with their plans for a continuation of 'his front porch campaign here irrespective of any speaking arrangements elaewhere he may decide to fill later on. Two more dates on which the senator will receive delegations at his picturesque Marion home were announced . The first in August 12, when he is to further explain his belief in the necessity of a protective tariff for American industry to about 600 pottery workers of Fast Liverpool and Columbiana county. Ohio. The second Is September 25. when 1 ono members of the American Pe- ; fenae Society, a patriotic, preparedness organization. with headquarters at New York City, of which the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt was the first nonary president, are to j.iurney here to listen to a speech on Americanism. Senator Harding Indicated today it was his purpose to receive and address groups interested In special subjects rather than to have large state dele, gallons come here as they flocked to "Shadow Uwn" during President Wilson's front porch campaign when he ran for a second term. By having a succession of groups of men and women gather about him on Sis spacious front porch here. Senator Harding's friends are confident he can drive home his attitude oVi public ques tions more forcibly by a close personal appeal than by merely delivering set speeches to larger gatherings representing . diverse interests. The center of. the campaign i. howveer, only in the making. Predictions as to addresses to be delivered by him in the east, west or middle west are sheer guess work. Vnforseen exigenclea may arise to upset the tentative plana he has made. At present the senator is waiting to see what issues Gov. Cox. hla democratic opponent, will raise "in his speech of acceptance, August 7. When the governor has had his aay at Payton, the republican nominee expects to apeak more freely hlmselt than he is doing- Just now.

July 30 Coal operators meeting here to discuss ways and means for ending the "unofficial strike" of miners, which already Has partially paralyzed industries through the central west, declared today that only President Wilson can bring relief to the coal-less midwest. The principal discussion among the ( operators here Is whether they will, meet the miner's representatives in a general wage conference, as suggested i by John L. Iewls. president of the United Mine Workers .of America. There is a division of opinion regarding the advisability of this. The Indiana operators have definite ly decided against such a plan without white house sanction, it was learned today. "There Is nothing we can. do." said Thil H. Penna. head of the Indiana operators. "If we meet the miners we lay ourselves open to the charge of collusion. The wage question can only be opened with the permission j of the government. President vn uson is the only one who can act." Among other operators there is an insistent demand that something be done immediately. The great steel mills at Gary and Indiana Harbor are beginning to feel the pinch of coal shortage, and in Chicago many industries have been forced to curtail operations and shut down completely. Railroads have seized coal in transit. It Is virtually impossible to obtain coal now for manufacturing purposes. TO VISIT III For a hriof period, young men of Hammond and vicinity will be given an opportunity to visit the war torn countries of Kurope. The U. S. army is no,w- open to a few enlistments for service In Germany to fill vacancies in the army of occupation.

The opportunity is here. The war department wants 957 men for the Infantry and from five to thirty nv-n each for different positions in the cavalry, field artillery. quartermasters corps and supply service. All men accepted will be sent at once to Fort Slocum. X..T.. for enlistment.

I N D . . July 30 Th fart that Sam Kosanovitch. a former soldier in the British army. who. ainee his discharge, has become insane was confined for some time in I-ake county with no provision being made for his transfer to an insane hospital, has been brought to the attention of Dr. Walter A. Jillson. of Cincinnati. O.. wo is in charge of the neuro-psych-iatric division of the public health service in the Sevnth district. HITLER GIVES DETAILS The details of the case were riven to Dr. Jillson by Amos W. Butler, secretary of the board of state charities, who has been investigating the case. Mr. Butler has rerelved a letter from Dr. Jillson. In which he declared the case to be a "sad commentary on the laws of the state of Indiana." Dr. Jillson pointed out that the t'nited States government through the public health service is .under agreement to take care of men who served In the allied armies, who are suffering from mental or physical diseases. 11IUTISII ARMY PRIVATE Mr. Butler aaid Tuesday that Ko. sanovitch. who was a private In the Midlesex regiment. British army, during the war, was adjudged insane in the spring . The case was reported to Mr. Butler and Dr. Jillson. Dr. Jillson wrote the county official in charge and asked what disposition had been made of the case. He received a reply on May 20, he said In hla letter to Mr. Butler, saying that the former soldier was to be transferred to the Northern Indiana Hospital at Logansport. On June 24, said Dr. Jillson. this transfer had not been made. COMMENTARY ON CONRITIONS "It is a sad commentary on the laws of the state of Indiana." aaid Dr. Jillson, "that any insane . person of Ihe community, whether legal resident or not. has to be cared for In a jail like a criminal, because of Inadequate provision for his nare In a hospital. We certainly would not have stood for this jail care of this man for one minute. If we could have known of it earlier. "We do not yet know what apology we will be able to make to the Britah government for such gross mishandling of the case. "We thank yoU for calling: th matter to our attention, and we ask if there Is any way In which you can' in the future take action to see that these cases are properly cared for. that you do so. and rest assured that in doing so the public health service will appreciate the courtesy until such time as we can assume the burden of transfer to our own hospital." NO REPORT, HE SAYS Mr. Butler pointed out that officials of the board of state charities did not take action in the cass earlier because they had received no report of It. County officials, he said, are sometimes lax in making reports. The board has given special attention to the handling of cases of insane former service men. When reports are made showing that persons adjudged insane are former service men. tha officials of the board at once take the action to have the men confined In tho Insane hospitals. Ufae reports. Mr. Butler said, often do not show the fact that the persons served in the military forces. The insane hospitals are Instructed to give preference to exservice men In receiving new patients. Mr. Butler refused to make public the name of the Indiana public official and county which had kept tha man in jail. ACTING BRITISH HEAD IN IRELAND KILLED f INTERNATIONAL MEWS SERVICE DUBLIN.
