VOL. XV. XO. 6. FEDERAL STATE AID ROAD LAW State Commission Favors Well Maintained Gravel Road. i TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL INDIANAPOLIS, June 24. Charles Zeigler, chairman of the state highway ("immission. announced today that an (Tort would be made through the Hoosier members of Congress to obtain n change in the: Federal state aid road law to enable states to construct navel roads with the revenue proided from the national treasury. At present the state, in order to get edcral aid. is compelled to construct ' hard surface" roads. Governor Mci 'ray and a majority of the members of the state highway commission, howMtr, have adapted a policy of constructing hard surface roads only where they are demanded because of extremely heavy traffic. After careful onsideratlon of the road question the Governor and the commission came to 'h conclusion that hard surface roads -re not desirable, generally throughout the state. Not only is the cost of these roads il mo st prohibitive, but they do not .-tand up -well under the Indiana climate. Experiments tric-d out by the commission indicate that a well-maintained gravel road is far superior for general purposes. The only tiling now standing in the n ay of the commission in carrying out rh.s policy is the Federal law. New sravel roads can not be contsructed ' xcept with state funds. The members the commission do not believe the Federal law should confine the activties of the atate to hard surface roads especially in places where there Is abundance of good gravel or stone. The members of the commission have taken the matter up personally with Representative, In Congress Fred S. Purnell of the Ninth district. Mr. Furnell Is In sympathy with the plan and Is to communicate the message of the commission to the other Hoosier representatives and Senatora Harry S New and James E. Watson. Mr. Zelgler points out that at least ;.nnO miles of the Indiana state highway system can be constructed with r.ther gravel or ''ton. The remaining portion of the system, about SO" r.iiles. should b of hard surface marial, because of extremely heavy t ravel. in anal-ring the road situation Mr. 2:gler points out that the average cost of hard surface roads is $49,000 a mile. The annual interest on this road investment is $2,000 or $6,000,000 a year for 3.000 miles. If the state system s constructed of gravel cr stone 1t will have to be constantly patrolled. This patrolling cost, it Is said, does not exceed $4r0 a mi a year. Therefore the total cost of patrolling of travel roads, thereby keeping them in perfect condition, would be $1,200,000 a yrar, cr much less than one-third of the interest rate on hard surface investment. If the Indiana officials are successful in obtaining a change in the Federal law the entire state system could soon be placed in excellent shape. The present highways would be widened s--radd and well coated with gravel or stone at a cost of about $10, 00 a mile, The members of the commission are expecting great opposition to the .-hange in the Federal law. The material interests, especially the cemejit nnd brick industries', will battle against the change. F GARY GOLF COURSE Will Be Taken TomorrowPreparations for Formal Dedication July 9th. The informal opening of the firs1; nine holes of the Gary Country club Rolf course will take place tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock, according to announcements which have been sent out by President G.

WHITING'S -SPEED CAMPAIGN Attracts Attention Of Hoosier State Automobile Association Which Sends Officials Here. The Hoosier State Automobile Association took a hand in the antispeed campaign !n Whiting yesterday upon the arrival of M. E. Noblet, manager of the association from Indianapolis. A report had reached the Hoosier headquarters that last Sunday 90 motorists had been arreneu in Whiting r speeding and that this number included members of the association fjom various parts of the state. This report. however, was erroneous as there has not been that number of arrests all told during the past week and"Y half. "In Whiting one of the officers as the story came to me." said Mr. Noblet, "seems possessed with the Idea that a wonderful reputation for himself is to be made by seeing how many people he can arrest. We maintain that while some motorists are careless drivers that the majority of people driving cars respect a "christian like' enforcement of speed regulations ana that is what we insist upon getting. A stranger driving along Standard avenue or Forsythe avenue would have no idea, that to exceed ?0 miles per hour he would be violating safe and sane driving and a word of warning w-ill be sufficient from the officer without yanking him Into police court and getting his money and spoiling his trip for him. "In talking with the authorities of Whiting 1 find that they are anxlos to avoid giving the impression that Whiting is presecuting the traveling public, and as a result five targe signs are to be put up immediately warnin the traveling public that 23 miles per hour will be enforced. These signs will read 'Hoosier Stat" Auto Assn.,' although the city of Whiting is looking after the signs and the officers are to be charged with the duty of giving a 'christian like enforcement of the law, instead cf 'hard boiled' enforcement . " While here Mr. Noblet was in conference with Ed Bohllng of Hammond. Senator James Nejdl of Whiting, W. E. Jewell of Indiana Harbor. A. S. Hess cf Gary and others relative to the work of Hoosier Automobile Association in tho Calumet district. It is understood that service Is being arraigned for in the Calumet district more or less similar to that given by the clubs in Chicago. What the motorists cf the Lake county district do not seem to cralize is that a membership in the Hoosier State. Automobile Association is good in Chicago Just the same as Chicago's members are taken, care of by us when they are over in Indiana. For instance if a member of the Chicago Motor Club is in South Bend or Ft. Wayne and needs a tow in. first aid, or gas delnered or touring Information he gets it and our members get the same thing from thChicago Clubs. THE GLOOM IS DEEP You Can Cut the Silence Around Central Station With a "Potato Peeler. There was nothing to the little ball game between the Hammond and Gary police department team in the family lot at Gleason park in Gary yesterday afternoon but a lot of fun and Gary had mo3t of that if the score can be. taken for anytning. When the smoke of battle ciea.ia away late in the afternoon Gary hud chalked up eleven scores while the Hammond itcs had to content themselves withi driving back home with a large goose egg. To make the story short, the Hammond cops couldn't get to "Ziggie" Miller, the popular Gary mound artist and if they did get on base, Ziggies team mates gave him such fine- support that they were unable to touch the home plate. Two times Miller had the bases full and each time, he got down to business ana pitched himself out of the hole. Something like $500 was taken in. the proceeds going to the police pension fund. Of this Hammond gets 25 per cent and 75 per cent. Several weeks hence Gary will travel to Hammond In a return game when Hammond will share 25 per cent of the gate receipts with Gary.

Officer Taboda has been patroling C'alumt boulevard it) his coupe in starch of trucks driving on the bou'evard In violation of the law. Yesterday he noticed a Dodge roadster1 with all the earmarks of a booze carrier. In it were two young mn who had the look of booze runners. Taboda decided to investigate. Driving along side of the suspected car, he ordered the mn tu nilt, which they did without protest. The cop looked around a bit. He found whiskey. Further search revealed a pair of loaded revolvers, one in each pocket of the car. These he confiscated, and escorted the outfit to the nation. The men were booked aa Pete Miller, 2379 Wentw orth evenue. Chicago, and Mike Vgcich, Sheridan, la. The car yielded a total of 175 pints oi Indian Hill whiskey. Where do you think they were taking the booze? To Des Moines, just week late. Maybe they were rushing to fill the order which was held up in Hammond last week.

MOVIE CAMERA MAN VISITING

HERE TELLS STORY OF FLOOD

Cecil Vigdor, Only Photographr to Get Action Picturs at Pueblo, Col., Visiting In Hammond. Out of th receding waters and the debris of Pueblo came Cecil Vigdor, an itinerant camera man with the only action pictures of the great flood. Fatigued from little nourishment, less food and the aftermath of the great experience. Vigor reached Denver. Fresh were the sights of suffering and desolation. In his ears the cries of injured and dying echoed. The thought that he alone woud profit from the cataclysm was revolting. Eut the Instinct of the news protographer drove him on and he hurried his precious film to the studios where he sold It for a pitance that did not recompense htm for the loss of personal be longings in the flood. Vigdor took $300 for the flood picture that was worth no less than $10,non and then sought the downy couch for a twentj-four hour tryst with Morpheus. MID-WEST BANKERS IN PLAIN TALK They Tell Harding They Are Dead Against Further Financing Of Europe. WASHINGTON". June 24 Some extremely sharp differences of opinion and some "lain talk" regarding the foreign expansion policy of the admlnIstration. developed at the White House last night at the dinner given by President Harding to a group of prominant western and mid-western bankers it was learned today. The west or a considerable section of it is dead against any further etxenslve financing of Europe, either through the flotation of collossal international loans or through the granting of huge trade credits, according to the views expressed by a number cf the western financial men. This attitude on the part of the westerners is in marked contrast to that exhibited by the eastern financiers and the international banking group headed by the Morgan and Rockefeller Interests, who were cntcrtaind at a similar dinnr at the White House several weeks ago at the eastern dinner the president. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and Secretary of Commerce Hoover who also were guests were told that it was to America's advantage to aid largely in the rehabilitation of Europe through the granting of loans and expansion of trade credits. Last night however, it was a different story that the president ajid Mellon and Hoover listened to, according to the few details of the dinner which leaked out today. They were told last night that it v. as a mistaken policy to allow Europe to go on running further into debt when even now European countries cannot pay the interest on the sums which they already owe the United States. The lead in criticizing some of the administration's pet projects for Europe trade expansion is understood to have been taken by George M. Reynolds, Chicago banker who in the prelnaugural days was considered a prominent candidate for secretary of the treasury. Mr. Reynolds is said to have been "very frank" In some of his crit icism." Some of tlr? projects for expansion of foreign trade which came under western fire were those fostered by Secretary of Commerce Hoover. Mr. Hoover is undrstood to have made a vigorous defense of his policies and what was described as ome "highly il luminating" conversation ensued. The theory expoundd at length by Reynolds and shared by many of his western associates was that the best way for Europe to get on her feet is to get to work, stop Inflation, stop bor rowing, introduce some economy but I above all get to work, what psssible advantage either to America or to Europe can result. He asked If Europe goes on getting deeper and depper into debt and postponing tb. day of reckoning.

HAMMOND, INDIANA L REDUCTION TO BE EXTENDED their petitions have been heard and granted . Decision 147 was handed down recently after various railroads had petitioned for wage reductions. The cut at that time amounted to 12 per cent and the new order, extending the scope of the original decision will make a similar slash to the lines not included in the original order. The new order, it is understood, w 11 differ from the original decision, in that it will assess reductions for other classes of labor not covered by the first decision. Just another thrill in the life of a news camera man, but the greatest perhaps of all. Vigdor, who Is visiting his cousin, Julius Arkin in Hammond, does not anticipate a greater experience. A few years ago he was "shooting" a vast forest fire In Mount Clements, Arizona, and after he had cranked his camera until the heat drove htm back he found himself trapped. There were thrills a plenty in that adventure but Vigdor declares that for horror and hellishness a flood, especially at night, is unrhaled. rEXCIDID BT tatt. STOEM "I went to Pueblo two days before the flood to shoot some views in the San 'Tiabel National Forest," Vigdor told a Times reporter this morning. "A storm broke shortly before 6 o'clock on that historic black Friday evening. There were hail stones as big as snow balls followed by a cloudburst. Whistles began shrieking the warning that the rhers were out of their banks. To hours later the exodus across the bridge began in a driving rain. "I was in the Corgress hotel watching the scurrying crowds, not realizing the danger. Torrents poured through the aLreet below and the water was raising rarldly. Then automobiles, lamp posts, outjiouses, chicken coops, sheds; buggies; porches; boxes and all sorts of objects that. I could not idntlfy began sweeping past. "The street on the opposite fde of the hotel was on higher ground and I started out with my camera. T : fires had started and in a short time the sky was ablaze. I shot some pictures of the burning buildings with the flood lighted by the flames. '"The hotel escaped as veil as the buildings adjacent to it. Fortunately the hotel was on the highest point of ground in the city. "Dawn found the waters receding and revealing the untold havoc. The total of dead will never be known and the missing list Is far greater than the known dead. I would say that 2000 people lost their lives. "When the sun rose in a cloudedky that roning we culd see thousands of people on the hills across the rler. They were there for several days without food until the rescue trains arrived. "Rich men were made paupers by the flood. Pueblo Is a ruin." . Vigdor plans taking some street scenes in Hammond to be shown at the Parthenon theater i about a week. T&AXV8 TTSB.NT9 OTIK "The bridge had been swept aw a and escape was cut off. Two passenger trains had been torn from the tracks and th-rv irs-scngers drowned People crowded the housetops and their cries could be heard as buildings were torpi by the rushing waters or as they were knocked from their refuge by trees or other objects hurled by the flood. My hotel was filled with people. Children were crying for parents, women for their husbands, men for their w ives and mothers for their sons "The scene in the hotel w as so tragic so indescribably horrible that it affected the mind of many people. They would laugh hysterically as though it was some srt of a farce-comedy. L. A. STEPHENS PLEAOS GUILTY Leon A. Stephens who was arrested in Hammond last November on a charge of counterfeiting, ar.d who made a sensational escape from the Marion county jail, pl'-aded guilty yesterday when arraigned before Judge Geiger in the federal court at Indianapolis.
