SLOANE CHOSEN

TO HEAD STATE MUSIOTEACIIERS Local Man Honored at State Convention R i c h m ond Sextette Creates Sensation. Ralph Campbell Sloane, supervisor of muslo In the Richmond schools, was elected president of the State Music Teachers' association Thursday, at Muncie.;. The annual meeting closed Thursday evening. Mr. Sloane was chairman of the executive committee for the association the last year. -The vote of the nominating committee was unanimous for Sloan as president. Mr. Sloane said Friday morning that before his election he had asked the executive committee to bring the association tc Richmond next year. Richmond can have it if It wants it, he said. The association pays for the rental of the buildings and all its own expenses. The city must furnish the building. Five hundred members attended the convention at Muncie. Richmond had such a convention about twenty years ago when the association was in Its Infancy. Now it has grown to be one of the great organizations of the state. Mr. Sloane said that there are many other cities that want It among them being Evanaville, Terre Haute, Vincennes, Huntington and Marlon. Sloane says he Intents to boost the cooperation of young artists throughout the state. He plans to have for next year programs made up of these musicians. Among the other fine programs given at the convention was that of Indiana composers played by Indiana artists. The musical organisation of the fetate is almost completely linked up with one exception, says Sloane. This Is the manufacturers. There are nine leading manufacturers of musical instruments in the state, including the Starr Piano company, he says, that should be Included in the organization and should be given a place on the association programs. The organization would then be complete Including the manufacturers, public schools, colleges, normal schools and studio teachers. The Richmond High school sextette was one of the sensations of the contention. .The work of these young artists was splendid, said those-who attended from here. The members of the sextette are Mary. Janes, violin; Corwln Brown, violin; Marlus Fossenkemper, clarinet; Hiestand Brown, flute, Helen Roland, 'cello and Edna Marlatt, piano. ' Miss Edna Marlatt, assistant supervisor of music in the schools, talked on music grade material. The manner in which she gave her talk and the ideas that she expressed, which were entirely new, made a favorable Impression upon her hearers. - Mr. Sftane was made chairman of a committee to formulate a two years course of study for the vocational music supervisors for Introduction into state normal school. In connection with the Introduction of vocational muslo into the state normal school Mr. Sloane will go to Akron, O., this summer to talk to the Matinee Muslcale of that city.

According to a summarized report of an Interview given by Herr Schuecking, one of Germany's peace delegates to the Berlin correspondent of the Herald, the Laborite organ, the plan for the league ' of nations which has been formulated at Paris has brought disillusionment to Germany. It is regarded there as a thinly veiled scheme for the victo rious powers to gain the ascendency and gives the militarists an opportuni ty to taunt the pacifists tor tneir sim olicitv. it is said. "If the scheme Is adopted in Its present iorm, xierr ouiunwug Quoted as saying, "the league will lose all Its moral authority over all sec tions of the Germans, some of whom will revert to reaction. Other look forward to the establishment of international socialism.' Herr Schuecking emphasized that a feature of German plans for the league creates a representative world parliament thus safe-guarding the democratic basis 'of the league and avoiding the re tarn of militarism In a new form. The correspondent adds: "Herr Schuecking made an instant impression of sincerity and courage, which his lif e-long tgh against' militarism and his record as an opponent cf the war confirms.''

TAX OVERCHARGE MADE, COMPLAINT (Br Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 2. Already complaints have begun to reach the Internal revenue, bureau of retailers charging more than the actual tax on so-called luxuries, such as expensive articles of clothing and other personal equipment, although the new taxes went into effect only yesterday. . ' Reports so far Indicate that most eases of overcharging were accidental caused by the store clerks falling to acquaint themselves with provisions of the law. Officials were prompted, however, to issue a reminder that overcharging a tax may render the dealer or clerk liable to a fine of .$1,000 and a year's Imprisonment. Dealers were urged to study the law, and the preliminary regulations, which can be supplied by revenue collectors. ' In the case of the- luxury taxes. It was emphasized today that the tax of 10 per cent It Imposed only on the excess of cost above a certain sum, specified In the law for each kind of an article, and not on the entire sales price. Soda clerks also were urged to ascertain that beef tea, coffee, sandwiches, cake. Ice cream in buckets and medicinal preparations often sold t fountains are not taxable. A few complaints to the bureau related that customers were charged by druggists more than the one cent tax imposed on each 25 cents or fraction of the cost of toilet and medicinal preparations. 200 ARE TRIED FOR CLEVELAND RIOTS (Br Associated Press) CLEVELAND, O., May 2.

Warnings are being heard on all sides that the Germans will exert all their ingenuity to make: true the prediction attributed to Dr. Richard Von Kuehlman (former German foreign secretary) that "in less than five years time, the Germans will be back In Paris (pacifically, that is to say) and in favorable conditions." Evidence is accumulating that the preliminaries ot the kind of pacific penetration at which the Germans seem to be particularly adept, already have commenced. German merchants with pre-war business connections in France are endeavoring to "pick up the threads" again, and the papers now and then publish obsequiously worded missives to Franch firms, inviting them to "resume our pleasant relations. More dangerous in the eyes of the French are the attempts that are being made by German servants, now posing as Alsatians or Swiss, to slip quietly back into their old places with French families. In some cases, their Teutonic accent betrays, them; in others suspicious employers have de tected minute flaws in otherwise irreej proachable legitimation papers. Registry officers, although exercising the most scrupulous care in weeding out suspects, are not infallible. In a case cited by La Liberte, a factory owner near Paris who had advertised for a foreman received an applicant who came "highly recommended" and whose papers were in seemingly perfect order. Still the employer had some vague misgivings and con-1 ciiltpd a rtPtACtlvft. with th roRiilt that ' the would-be foreman was unmasked as a German who had escaped from an Internment camp In Brittany in May laBt year. His papers were forgeries. English Competitor For Ford Is Planned (Br Associated Press) LONDON, April 24. An English manufacturing' company announces that It is preparing to put on the market an automobile that can be retailed for (250, certainly for not more than S300. Scarcely any wood will be used in the construction of the car, the principal material being a new substance which is described as "a kind of concrete, light, but strong and durable, produced from waste materials such as slag, clinkers and sawdust and covered with a metal solution." The process of manufacture is another innovation In England. All parts, including wheels and chassis will be stamped out, each complete In one piece and then fitted together. The manufacturers expect to compete with cheap American cars, because "tax and freight charge are ex-' pected to raise the price of the American article considerably above, the figure asked from United States buyera.

Police i chiefs of all cities of the country were urged today by Colonel Arthur Woods,' pedal assistant to the secretary of; war, in charge of the employment of discharged soldiers te aid the government in preventing peddlers and street fakirs from wearing the uniform of the army or navy.

Eighty per cent. of the men discharged from the army or navy go direct to their homes, he declared. -
