INDIANAPOLIS ONE CENTER OF HIATHJEALS Held Title to at Least 100 Properties for Trading Purposes, Capital Real Estate Men Say. METnODlsTUTLINED
"Oklah oma Alice" Seeks Company; Urges Women to Make Race for Congress
INDIANAPOLIS, March 29. Born of an insatiable thirst for trading, the
web of transactions of Edgar F. Hiatt,
deposed president of the Dickinson
Trust company, can now be traced
even more completely over the whole
state of Indiana, in a tangled maze
that reached its culmination in the large southern trades that resulted in his retirement. For more than 20 years this trading has been going on, beginning with Ihe amassing of small pieces of property, the trading of several small pieces into larger ones, the consolidation of still larger units, until the final result is a single building or property of eud- . stantial worth. , Indianapolis Holdings In Indianapolis alone, realty dealers say, he has possessed more than 100 separate pieces of property, all of which have been used, and some of them re-used again and again In trades for higher values. The method of procedure was simple. In one case a farm was received in trade for two lots in Richmond, plus $500 in cash. The farm was valued at $18,000, but carried a mortgage of $7,000. This farm later was traded for a business block, the farm being counted in the trade as having a valuation of $24,000. Added to other small properties, and the business block was traded
for other properties until the net re
sults from the trade had netted Mr
Hiatt, in the opinion of the same real
ty men, about $40,000. Little Money Used
Very little money was transferred in T. .T. Cotnam, Little Rock," she said, euch deals, the transactions being for "and if a few more would run the
the most part straight trades. Mr. Hiatt traded when he found that he

Top row, left to right: Carrie Chap-3
man Catt, Mrs. T. T. Cotnam, Harriet Taylor Upton, Mrs. Gifford Pinchot; lower, left to right: Mary Garrett Hay, Maude Wood Park. WASHINGTON, D. C. March 29 "Run for office." That's the advice of Miss Alice Robertson, Oklahoma congresswoman, to women of the country. "Drop bridge, take off your kid gloves and help put affairs right or forever hold your peace." That's the second piece of Miss Robertson's advice. Miss Robertson, or "Oklahoma Alice," as she is more familiarly known, suggests that such prominent suffrage leaders as Carrie Chapman Catt, Maude Wood Park and Harriet Taylor Upton run for congress and put over the reforms they have been demanding so long. "With Mary Garrett Hay they have been active in politics for a long time," said Miss Robertson. "Why don't they run for some office? "It's up to them to put a little pep in politics this year. They have equal suffrage now. It's about time they used it." She declares that Mrs. Gifford Pinchot would make an ideal congresswoman. "Arkansas will surely elect Mrs.
could get a property for considerable under its real worth. Whether these transactions were for the bank or for himself could not be said Mr. Hiatt made no comments on his trades, merely giving orders which were obey-, ed to the letter by agents who had complete confidence in the integrity of Mr. Hiatt. Records of the trades made by Mr. Hiatt are not always to be found in connection with his name. A property which had been held by Mr. Hiatt on a verbal contract with a dealer might be traded again, and the deed when
finally recorded be made to read directly from the original owner to the
final buyer.
No Name Used
This accounts for the absence of Mr. Hiatt's name from the transfer records of the Marion county recorder's office in the last two years and for the fact that Mr. Hiatt did not pay taxes on any property owned in Indianapolis since 1919, although he is credited with owning several pieces during that time. In the case of properties which were transferred to incorporated companies the disappearance of tle Hiatt name in ihe transaction was more complete. The favorite method was to have representatives of Mr. Hiatt act as common stockholders to vote three of four shares of common stock issued by the company. The building or company would then
be financed by the sale of preferred j stock that had no voting power, but J drew the income. These shares of stock would be registered through the Dickinson Trust company, the dummy stockholders having no knowledge of tlKj actual owners of the securities. Wilmour Company The Wilmour building company was incorporated in 1919 for $70,000 capital Flock by Clarence C. Brown, Albert W. Gregg and Lawrence A. Handley. According to the first annual report of ihe company $40,000 in preferred stock was issued and $300 in common stock, just enough to qualify three officers, which were given as president, A. W. Gregg; secretary and treasurer, R. J. Buck, and as a director Wilfred Jessup. In the second annunl report made July IS, 1921, L. Handley was given as a director of the company. The first annual report was signed by "E. F. Hiatt, agent." and, as if by an afterthought, by R. J. Buck, secretary. . The Wayne Apartment company was originally formed by John W. Mueller, Turner W. Hadley and Wilfred Jessup with capital stock of $50,000. but
eight days later, Sept. 8, 1921, the ar-
woraen would be able to make their
strength felt.
"Mrs. Horace Towner out in Iowa
would make a strong candidate. She might even defeat her husband. Run against her husband? Why surely, this is no family affair. ' Miss Robertson says the women have . talked . about getting into the game and cleaning up for years and now, though . there is . nothing but themselves to stop them, they haven't taken advantage of suffrage. Says Alice further: "Woman suffrage is like an automobile ride. When something goe3
wrong with the flivver and the man gets out to fix it, the woman in the back seat ought to get out and help him or keep her mouth shut."

DICKINSON TRUST COMPANY REOPENS; LOYALTY OF PATRONS IS EVIDENCED
The Dickinson Trust company reopened for business Wednesday morning and quickly found that the loyalty of its stockholders was evenly matched by the loyalty of its patrons. The honor of being the first to deposit in the reorganized institution went to Howard Ridge. Deposits poured in during the day and at the close of business officials of the trust company were deeply gratified to find a big gain in deposits had been made. Everett R. Lemon, vice president of the Dickinson Trust company, stated
CZARIST OFFICERS HELD FOR ATTEMPT TO KILL MILUKOFF
(By AssociBted Press) BERLIN, March 29 Two czarist officers have been arrested charged with killing Vladimir Naboukoff and attempting to assassinate Professor Paul N. Milukoff. The men are Peter Scha-belski-Brock and Jaribos Tabowitzki.
M. Naboukoff was killed during an at
tack on M. Milukoff while the latter
was addressing a Russian meeting
here last night.
Both of the men held hav been identified by people who were on the
stage when the shots were fired, but
the authorities believe other Russian monarchists who were present but escaped in the uproar were also implicated in the plot to assassinate M. Milukoff. Professor Milukoff was formerly minister of foreign affairs in the Russian provisional government and M. Naboukoff was secretary of etate in the first Russian parliamentary cabinet under Prince Lvoff. Escapes Shots M. Milukoff's presence of mind enabled him to escape as he made a quick forward and downward movement when the first shots were fired.
His assailants mounted the stage to renew the attack at short range but one of the officers was seized by M.
Naboukoff and thrown to the floor. His companion came to the rescue and fired the fatal shots into Naboukoff from behind. . Professor Milukoff meanwhile had

ST. JOHN'S SCHOOL
TO HOUSE FACTORYEMPLOYING 25 MEN . A new factory, which will make casket hardware, vill be in operation in Richmond within a month. Workmen are busy remodeling the old St. John's school on South Fourth street for factory purposes. The factory will manufacture locks,
handles, and other hardware used on
caskets. It will employ from 20 to 25 men, most of whom will be recruited from this locality; about 10 of the more skilled being brought from outside as a nucleus for the factory organization. The McClelland Hardware company, which will occupy the Fourth street building, has been manufacturing in Chicago, but is moving to Richmond on account of its superior facilities for a small factory in comparison to Chicago, where several inconveniences in labor, supply and transportation have been experienced. , The large number of casket factories in this section of the country was also an inducement in the selection of
the new factory location. Some of the local casket companies already have been customers -of the McClel
land Hardware company. Alterations to the building will not be extensive and will be completed within two weeks. Machinery will be shipped In and installed as soon as the building is ready. The factory expects to start operation in Richmond in the latter part of April.
the officers and directors were keenly grateful at the fine spirit of confidence in the institution shown by
patrons and the public in general during the day. "I don't know," said Mr. Lemon, "how a better reception from the public could have been expected than has been accorded the Dickinson Trust
company today." Directors Present. The re-opening was almost in tbs nature of a gala occasion. The entire membership of the board of director? was present during the day' in th; lobby -of the big bank building.
Bach director wore a red carnation, and all were kept busy responding to thg heartjcpngratulations showered., on fnem ty many patrons and friend for the action that resulted in such prompt resumption of business by the trust company. Many of the directors ere affected emotionally by the heartiness of the congratulations and the fine spirit of confidence manifested. They plainly showed the well deserved relief they felt at such a happy culmination of the two weeks of unremitting toil and strain they had tin ' dergone, to reorganize their trust company and protect the interest of stock-
holders and depositors. Lowell W. Cox, new president of the trust company, was introduced by the directors to hundreds of patrons and friends who called Mr. Cox, by his friendly and unassuming manner, enhanced the reputation he has already built up in the community by his work in the interest of stockholders and depositors during the past few weeks. He was well received by patrons of the institution and many remarks of satisfaction over the choice of Mr. Cox to head the trust company were heard on all sides.
TO RUSH BILL GIVING HOSPITALS FOR VETS, ELLIOTT ANNOUNCES
PAMmtS SEWS BUREAU WASHINGTON, March 29. "I expect that the bill for new hospitals for disabled ex-service men, which
carries an appropriation of $17,000,000, 1 will be rushed through both the house i and the senate," said Representative Richard N. Elliott of Indiana today. Representative Elliott is one of the ranking members of the public buildings and grounds committee which framed the bill. It has just been introduced in the house. He expects that it will be given right of way in the senate over the soldiers' bonus bill. The new hospital bill makes a total of more than $38,000,000 which congress has provided for the care of disabled veterans of the late war within the past two years. President Harding has appointed a new commission for the supervision of government hospitals. The members of this commission are: Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, the president's personal physician; Col. C. Ti. Forbes,
director of the U. S. veterans' bureau; Maj. Gen. M. W. Ireland, surgeon general of the army; Rear Admiral E. R. Stltt, chief of the bureau of medicine and surgery of the navy; Asst. Surgeon General C. C. Pierce, U. S. public (Continued on Page Fourteen)

Naval Ratio Again The ratio of capital ships given to France by the Washington conference
was 1.75. as compared to three for Japan, five for Great Britain and five for the United States. One intimation coming from Paris says that the French parliament may attempt to raise that ' nation's ratio to 2.50. If France does this, Italy is likely to do the same. At the recent conference Italy took the position that she must have the right to have as many ships as France. (Continued on Page Four)
