PAM.ADIl'M SEWS BfRKAir WASHINGTON', Aug. 29. Business organizations throughout Indiana are entering protests against that provision in the revenue bill, as it was recently passed by the house, which fixes the date for the repeal of the excess profits tax, January 1, 1922, instead of January 1, this year. It is understood that Senators Watson and New are being urged by Indiana business interests to support a senate amendment to the bill to make the date for the repeal of the excess profits tax a year earlier than provided by the house bill. Sec Reversal of Policy The burden of complaint over the action taken by the house on the excess profits tax, as voiced by Indiana business organizations and business men, is that it represents a repudiation of the policy proposed by President Harding. Senator Watson will have au important part in the shaping up of the revenue bill which will be presented to the senate shortly after the conclusion of the congressional recess, the latter part of next month. The senior senator from Indiana is one of the ranking members of the finance committee of the senate, which is to consider both the revenue and the tariff bills during the recess period. There has been a general exodus of lawmakers trom Washington since congress closed its sessions last Wednesday for a month's recess. One of the few members of congress remain ing ai me capuoi senator wwary Oregon, has had the unique experience ing at the capitol. Senator McNary of!j neglecting to obey the order3 of a blue-coated czar who presides over the traffic at one of the busiest corners in Washington. Oklahoma Man in Bad A member of the house who decided to linger in Washington., Rep, Herrick of Oklahoma, has been spending most of his vacation, up to this time, offering explanations regarding a number of "mash'' letters he addressed to Washington young women, and engaging in a squabble, through the public borne or the young women who re ceived ardent letters from the Okla noma statesman made complaint to the postal authorities and Herrick was visited by a postal inspector. Herrick states that he wrote letters to young women to secure replies from them as evidence to be used in support of a bill he has introduced to prohibit newspapers from conducting so-called beauty contests. Herrick is one of the most eccentric characters ever seen in congress. Members of the Indiana congressional delegation are hopeful that the referendum election next month on several proposed amendments 1o the Indiana constitution will result in the adoption of that amendment which would require complete American citizenship as a qualification for voting. Would Tighten Requirements. Indiana is one of the four states in the union wherein an alien is permitted to exercise the right of suffrage by merely filing a declaration of intention of becoming an American citizen. Indiana members of congress are frequently taunted because of the laxity of their state's constitution in regard to qualification for suffrage. "If the citizens of Indiana endorse an amendment to the constitution requiring complete American citizenship as a right to suffrage an important step will have been taken in the Americanization movement in our state," said an Indiana congressman. "American citizenship is cheapened so long as an alien is permitted to vote by merely filing his declaration of intention of becoming an American citizen. 1 had to live in this country 21 years before I could vote, and I resent the fact that a foreigner who is not a citizen of this country, who, perhaps, knows nothing of its institutions, its ideals, its purposes and its history', can, after a few months of residence in Indiana enjoy the same priveleges of suffrage that are acorded to me. Let me also state tlyit the practice of permitting aliens to vote has always been an invitation to election frauds and corrupt politics." U, S. RELIEF WORKERS ARRIVE IN MOSCOW iBv Associated Preis) MOSCOW, Aug. 29. American relief administration workers numbering seven and headed by Phillip Carroll, of Portland, Ore., arrived here this afternoon and will open an office tomorrow to organize the work of feeding the Russian famine sufferers. Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, and E. A. Frick, representing the International Red Cross, signed an agreement this afternoon with Leo Komeneff, head of the Russian famine relief commission, in which the International Red Cross arranges to do relief work on virtually the same terms as the American relief administration. Immediately after Hgnlng the agreement Dr. Nansen left for Riga. He said th3 only funds actually available were those of the British "save the children fund", but that he hoped to secure government credits and private funds.

TWO DENTAL OFFICES YIELD $670 IN LOOT TO THIEVES SUNDAY Professional dental thieves are thought to have paid a visit to Rich mond Sunday night, after the discovery of a systematic looting of Dr. N. S. Cox's office in the Hittle building, and Dr. H. Earl Hinshaw's office in the K. of P. building. Dr. Cox was the heavy loser, it be ing estimated, that; $600 worth of dental supplies were taken from his office. Careful selection was made by the robbers. About 150 sets of teeth were taken from hts cabinet; no teeth were taken that had been worked on. The combination safe was opened and a quantity of gold plate, filling gold, and some platinum and gold j clasp wire were taken. j Dr. Hinshaw's Loss $70. Dr. Hinshaw stated that he thought the robbers must have been frightened away from his office. Scrap and gold plate and a large piece of bridge work were taken from his office. He estimated his loss at $70. He stated that the robbers overlooked more than was taken. In entering Dr. Cox office the robbers evidently used a skeleton key as none of the windows or doors wera damaged. The safe was opened byusing the combination and closed again. All the drawers and cabinets were ransacked. Dr. Hinshaw's office was entered by the use of a chisel to cut away the woodwork to get at the lock. The robbery of the two offices Sunday night was carried on very similar to the systematic Uoting of five dental offices three years ago. Made Big Haul. Several thousand dollars worth of dental supplies were gained from the local offices at that time. No clu:s was left by the robbers for the police to work on. Dr. Cox stated that he had takea $4,000 worth of Liberty bonds from his safe last week and put them in a local bank, after having kept them in bis safe for over a year. OBENCHAIN DEFENSE PLEADS NOT GUILTY (By Associated Press) LOS ANGELES, Aug. 29 Pleas of not guilty were entered in the superior court here today by Mrs. Madelynn Obenchain and Arthur C.

Gathering Will Represent All Sections of the Country and Will Meet Under Harding's Directions.

TO AVOID CONTROVERSY WASHINGTON. Aug. 29. Plan's for President Harding's national conference on unemployment probably will be completed in time to permit the gathering here by the middle of September, it was said today by Secretary Hoover, who has been charged with the conference arrangements. Mr. Hoover said it was hoped to limit the conference to from 15 to 25 members, representing the country Geographically.. A small number is necessary, Mr. Hoover declared, to permit of constructive work, and to avoid a debating society. Avoid DebatesControversial questions, such as a closed shop, wages or working condi tions, also will be avoided by the conference, the secretary asserted. Late unemployment statistics of the labor department has placed the number out of work in the country at about 5,700.000. Mr. Hoover expressed the belief that a close study of conditions would reveal a somewhat smaller total. During the time of high wages in 1920, he said, numbers of people in some cases, four or five in one family were at work, but not from neces sity. All of these could not be placed on the unemployed list, he said. Mr. Hoover said it is not planned to make the conference a meeting of capital and labor, but to work out through efficient representation of the different sections of the country what can be done by each branch of the major industries by the public officials and by the community at large to provide work for the workers during the winter. DENY HARMONY BREAK IN RAILROAD UNIONS OVER STRIKE BALLOT (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, August 29 The apparent break in the harmony that has existed among the Big Four brotherhoods and the Switchmen's Union of North America in connection with the mailing out of strike ballots to the membership, was today minimized by union officials here. Strike ballots were mailed out to 600.000 railroad workers yesterday and today, but the ballot of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, comprising about 130,000 workers, went on a separate sheet. The trainmen withdrew because their officers explained, the ballot drafted by the other four organizations "did not in our opinion, contain an impartial and unbiased recital of all that is involved, nor did it convey the assurance that the wishes of the men if against working for reduced wages, would determine the question, and that they would be permitted to leave the service." Joint Ballot Text The joint ballot declared that if the members voted to reject the wage reduction it was understood they would be permitted to withdraw from the service of their companies unless "satisfactory settlement can be reached under the laws of the organization." The wage reduction authorized by the United States railroad labor board in July averaged about 12 per cent, an estimated annual saving to the railroads of about $400,000,000. Some union leaders asserted today that in their opinion it was not the wage reduction, but working rules and agreements that would be the final bone of contention and particularly the time and a half for overtime clause recently restricted by the railroad labor board. INSURANCE COVERS LOSS BY THEFT FROM CHICAGO BANK VAULT (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 29. Robbers who last night looted 19 deposit boxes in the Security Trust and Deposit company's vaults obtained $224,000, officials of the company announced today. The loss is covored by insurance. Two vault guards are being detained. Morris Lipschultz, a newsboy, reported to police he lost $11,300 in cash and jewelry valued at $900. The robbers escaped after a leisurely search of seventeen safety deposit boxes, although they overlooked $40,000 in $1,000 bills in one box. Inside Job. Today Michael Hughes, chief of detectives, characterized the affair as an "Inside job" and held the two custod ians of the vaults who, he said, told contradictory stories. Three other suspects have been taken into cus tody. The four robbers well dresses, appeared at the vaults which are said to hold valuables worth $1,000,000 about eight o'clock. One of them applied for a safety deposit box. When the doors to the vaults were opened, the robbers bound the custodians and then proceeded with lead mallots to open several boxes. They were fired on when leaving the bank more than an hour later but escaped unhurt. A few- seconds later policemen from four stations, a rifle squad and many detectives were swarminithe building. .

R. W. Stoakes, chairman of the evangelistic committee today. Last Thursday night a meeting was held by the site committee and the Friends church grounds was most favorably considered. Through misunderstanding between. the site com mittee and Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends trustees, terms for the ground, and certain privileges in the use of the Yearlv Mpetine- hnilrtin? werp not The trustees were mistaken in the needs of the committee, it is said, thus postponing the settling of the matter for a few days. Want County-wide Service. The Rev. Stoakes said Monday that he had from 12 to 13 letters from pastors and laymen in various parts of Wayne county, urging that the campaign next spring be made a county campaign rather than just a city campaign. They pledge both moral and financial support. It is planned that the tabernacle to be erected here will accommodate at least 5,000 people. The Rev. Mr. Stoakes said that Billy Sunday's business representative told him recently that at the last, town in which the Rev. Sunday held meetings last year, the town had only a population of 3.000, but that 6,000 persons regularly attended the services. This indicated that the meetings drew large numbers from surrounding territory. Active work in preparation for the coming campaign booked for April and May of next year will be started by the local campaign committee next month. The Rev. Stoakes said that the site committee held an enthus-! iastic meeting Thursday night, and mat progress in tne work will gam impetus steadily.

It is often said that the first five minutes are worse than the next five hours. If you have ever seen a real fire start you will know what this means. A pail of water, or a hand extinguisher may be sufficient to quench a fire just beginning After it gains headway, the entire fire department may be helpless while the building is consumed. A fire breaks out. You must act quickly. You must keep your head. You would be far better off if you knew definitely what to do, because there is no time for pondering and wondering. Action springing from knowledge may save many lives and many dollars. You can learn a tremendous lot about this vital thing from a 94-page booklet prepared by the National Board of Fire Underwriters.

S. E. Nicholson Explains How Senate Action Defers Pas

sage of Anti Beer Measure Predicts Favorable Vote. NO BEER AS MEDICINE "Contrary to a somewhat general belief," said S. E. Nicholson Monday, "the anti-beer bill in congress is not dead; its final passage has only been delayed." Mr. Nicholson left Wash ington Wednesday evening, while the filibuster on the bill was in progress a filibuster in which Senators Reed and Stanley participated. "The senate rules," Mr. Nicholson explained, "permit one or two senators to hold up any measure, sometimes for days, according to their capacity and continue speaking indefinitely." New Section Disputed "The question at issue is a newsection of the bill relating to search and seizure. At the instance of Senator Stanley, the senate had added this new section providing that there could be no search or seizure of property or person without a search warrant. The house refused to accept this on the ground that it would cripple enforcement of prohibition unnecessarily. "The bill then went to a conference committee of the two houses, which committee reported a substitute section, providing in effect that no dwelling or home can be searched without a warrant, but that other property can be searched and seized without a warrant, provided the action is not done maliciously or without reasonable cause. House Acts: Senate Delays "The house adopted the conference report by a vote of more than two to one. The filibuster prevented a vote in the senate, but no filibuster can delay a vote very long after the recess has ended. It is well known that when a vote is reached, the conference report will be adopted in the senate by a vote of about two to one. "Meanwhile the treasury department has announced that it will not issue the beer regulations governing the sale of beer as medicine. As the fear that these regulations might be issued, in case of a recess, constituted the emergency reason why the bill should have been passed before the recess, the situation is very satisfactory to the friends of prohibition." DR. BREADY SCORES REVIVALISM TACTICS, BUT DEFENDS SUNDAY Denouncing "clap-trap" revivalism, and holding forth true evangelism as the proclamaton of the glad tidings of j God's love for mankind. Dr. R. H.j Bready, Chautauqua platform manager,! delivered an address Monday morning on "Is There a Difference Between Revivalism and Evangelism?" "The gospel of Jesus Christ Is good news, it is an evangel, it is glad tidings, it is great joy. It will always be an evangel to men. When our preaching and our theology ceases to be full of encouragement to the world, when it no longer holds out hope for all sorts and conditions of men, when no more it pictures God as a Father to all of us. then the gospel ceases to be an evangel. What Evangelism Is. "Evangelism is a living message that so presents Jesus Christ that he appeals to men, and they yield to his service from one motive only, because they are convinced that it is right and they desire to love God with all the heart, souL mind and strength and to serve the world as they would serve themselves. "Revivalism, as we have known it. has come to mean a certain .set of tactics, a peculiar sort of music, an j ordinary church hymnal, with its great hymns of the centuries, educational and inspiring will not do. "Very often there is not an appeal to our higher senses but to the emotions, an appeal to the dread and fear of God, an arpeal to the awfulness of death, confess Christ, so that you can escape hell, and get your own soul into heaven. "If you do not do this, God will damn you for ever and ever, and if you do it God will save you.

NEW TURBINE HERE, WILL BE INSTALLED IMMEDIATELY, DILLON Arrival of the 5.000 k. w. turbine for the city light plant was announced by Superintendent J. P. Dillon to the board of works Monday. Work of installing will be started immediately, he stated. Bids for the piping for the turbine and air ducts for the generator are! to be received by the board before I final work on the turbine can be completed. Specifications were submitted by J. D. Lyon, consulting engineer, to be advertised. The estimated cost of the work Is $16,000. This was taken care of in the original estimates on installing the turbine, it is said. Holds City Responsible. E. M. Campfield notified the board of works that he intended to hold tht city responsible for the breaking of a large plate glass window in the Colonial Annex. The glass was broken when an automobile threw a stone from the street, against the glass. Mr. Campfield charges the city with carelessness in allowing the street to be in the condition it is after the completion of the Seventh street sewer. A motion for the vacation of Garden avenue, west of the C. & O. railroad, was favored by the board. The bond of Dan G. Burkhardt for improvements was approved by the board. T. C.

UPRISING IS CONFINED TO MALABAR DISTRICT LONDON, Aug. 29. Reports today from the revolutionary area of Malabar, British India, indicating that British troops and cavalry had arrived there, tended to confirm the belief in London that the uprising would be confined to this area, although none here would deny the seriousness of the situation or its potentialities for spreading. The revolutionary area Is more or less isolated from the other portions of India which might be expected to lend co-operation in the movement if any were forthcoming, but it would not surprise official circles here if at least the fanatical Mohammedans along the northern frontier, should take this occasion to write another chapter in their almost continuous warfare against the British. CALCUTTA, Aug. 29. British troops, icludicg cavalry, arrived here from Bangalore Sunday and proceeded to the disturbed area. Numerous refugees who have arrived here from the Ernad district relate pitiful tales of torture and looting. It appears the rebels have deserted Tanur and other places and have taken to the hills.

The baro metric pressure is low over the west. These conditions are the cause of the generally fair and warm weather.

By Associated Press) BERLIN, Aug. 29. Political conditions in Germany, which during the past few days have assumed a grave aspect, were considered by the cabinet today. President Ebert presided over the session, which was called on Saturday in such a way as to show that the ministry was concerned over the situation. The assassination of Mathias Erzber-

ger, last Friday, has appeared to have set a match to the piled up combustibles, which have been smoldering for some time, and the cabinet is believed to find itself in a serious predicament. One of the features of the situation which is troubling the government is the attitude of organized labor, supported by the Socialist and Communist parties, in demanding the definite suppression of the activities of the Pan-Germans. Hold Public Meetings. This party has been unusually active of late, held battle anniversaries, "steel helmet," reunions and other affairs at which Marshal Von Hindenburg, General Ludendorff and other military leaders have been present. These functions have for the most part taken on the character of anti-Repub-l4can manifestations. The government must decide in the next few days whether it will call the j reichstag this session, before Sept. 27. tne date fixed for that body to meet. There is a disposition on the part of Chancellor Wirth not to take this action because of his desire to have debate on the American peace treaty before that pact is ratified by the United States senate. The government would be unable to prevent such debate, in view of the overheated political atmosphere en gendered! by the murder of Herr Erzberger. Expect Criticism, It. is a foregone conclusion that the nationalists, if the Reichstag should convene, would promptly attack the government because of its accetpance or paragraph 231 of the treaty, by which Germany and her allies accepted responsibility for the war. Ratification of the treatv is be lieved to be certain in the reichstag through the votes of the three coalition parties and the independent so cialists, which command 277 out nf the 459 votes in the reichstag. Exclude 21 Votes This number, however, would not include the 21 votes controlled bv the Bavarian people'3 party, which "nominally is allied to the clericals. Chancellor Wirth also has not as yet determined the final attitude of the German people's party when the treaty will come up in the reichstag. During conversations with the chancellor and Foreign Minister Rosen, leaders of this party promised not to oppose the treaty, but the death of Herr Erzberger is believed to have given the entire situation a new complexion. Although the Wirth cabinet mav count on a vote of confidence, if it should be necessary, it realizes the present hour is hardly opportune for parliamentary activity, in view of the partisan acerbities which have reached the white heat stage in the last three days. It is feared that the political feeling, if permitted to spend its fury in open session of the reichstag, would promptly convert that body into a veritable cockpit. Party Organs Bitter In the meantime, the fight over the tragic, death of Herr Erzberger is being waged with increasing venom In party organs. The clerical newspaper Germania, supposed to be a paragon or journalistic etnics, is being sued by the Deutsche Tages Zeitung for libel because it included that newspaper. the organ of the Pan-Germans and the agrarians, among the "syndicate of nationalist murderers." Political observers believe it is not unlikely that Chancellor Wirth. in order to save his cabinet, may make a shift to the left for the purpose of winning the support of the Independent Socialists, thus securing a more ample foundation for his minority ministry and offsetting the possible deflection of the German People's party. Resents Radical Charges. This organization, under the leadership of Gustav Streasman, has already sharply resented charges by the radicals that it was jointly responsible with the Nationalists, for the assassination of Herr Erzberger. The government is about to undergo a decisive test in the reichstag in connection with the forthcoming tax legislation and other measures, and its work is being vastly increased bv the feeling aroused after the Erzber ger episode. CHICAGO JUDGE BARS COURT TO CURIOUS CBy Associated Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 29. Thirty-two spectators in Judge Joseph Schulman's court were locked in the bull pen two hours today by order of the judge and then dismissed with warning that in the future spectators would be given 20 days in the workhouse.
