WILSON ASKS /.
MORE MONEY
FOR EUROPE
Unthinkable We Should With
hold Relief” He Says in
Letter to Glass.
WAHnJTON, Jan. 20.— President
Wilson yesterday requested Secretary of
the Treasury Glass to make another ap
peal to .congress for an appropriation of
$150,000,000, to be used In rellorlngr starr
ing populations in Poland, Austria and
Armenia.
Wilson, In s letter to Glass, expressed
regret that congress had not already au
thorized this loan.
The appropriation is pending before
congress. It has been urged by Herbert
Hoorer, Gen. Bliss and others who de
clare starvation will kill thousands if
this Appropriation Is not authorized.
The president’s letter follows:
‘ With considerable regret I have no
ticed from the press that congress is
delaying the granting of authority for
the extension of prompt and generons re
lief to the stricken portions of Europe,
the urgency and importance of which,
especially in Poland, Austria and Arme
nia, you have already explained to the
ways and means committee.
APPALLING SITUATION
DEMANDS RELIEF.
“It is unthinkable to me that we should
withdraw from these people who are in
such mental and physical distress the
assistance which can'be rendered by mak
ing available on credit a small portion
of our exportable surplus of food which
would alleviate the situation.
"While I am sure that you must have
fully explained to the ways and means
committee the appalling situation In
these parts of Europe, where men, wom
an and children are now dying of starva
tion, and the urgent necessity for
prompt assistance, I beg of you to make
anbther appeal to congress.
GREAT CATASTROPHE
6EEN IMPENDING.
“I am Informed through the published
report of hearing* before the ways and
means committee" that congress has now
been furnished with Incontrovertible
facts showing the necessity for lmmedl
, ate affirmative action. This prosperous
republic ought not to hear any part of
the responsibility for the moral and ma
terial chaos that must result from an
unwillingness on our part to aid those
less fortunate than ourselves. We can
not, merely to husband a small portion
of our surplus, permit the happening
of this great catastrophe.
(Signed.) “WOODROW WILSON.”
Action by she house ways and means
committee was deferred again today on
the proposed $150,000,000 food relief loan
to Poland, Austria and other western
European countries. Secretary of Treas
ury Glass was in secret session foi
some time with the committee explain
ing the financial condition of the treas
ury. ”
GOMPERS RAPS
SOVIET SYSTEM
Labor Head Declares Radical
Plan Floors Working Man.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Declaring
that the constitution of bolshevism In
Russia provides for and enforces com
pulsory labor, Samuel Gompers, in an
editorial today in the American Federa
tionlst, denounces the soviet government.
The plea to withhold judgment from
bolshevist Kussia on the ground that ‘We
know nothing about Russia’ Is a plea
based op a false assumption,” says Mr.
Gompers, “and It should be denied a
hearing for the Teason that we do know
Russia In all of those essentials which
are necessary in passing judgment on
bolshevism.
“We know about Russia; we know
about bolshevism; we the piteous
story of cruelty and Intolerance, and we
know the autocratic concept that under
lies the minority dictatorship which Is
hailed to the world by its dupes and ad
vocates as the most perfect state of so
ciety yet devised. *
“We know tybout It, and we condemn It
completely and finally and for all time.”
A-number of unions which are affiliated
with the American Federation of Labor
have adopted resolutions either expressing
sympathy forgthe soviet government in
Russia or asking that Judgment by the
American people be withheld until more
is known of internal conditions In Rus
sia and the practical working of the Le
nine-Trotzky regime.

Has All Thrills
of Movies Right
in His Bedroom
CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.—T0 William
Lewis it had all the marks of a Mack
Bennett movie scene, minus the bathing
beauties. He was awakened from a
sound sleep by the crash which tore open
hia door. Three men catapulted in, one
dived under the bed, another got behind
a trunk and the third hid behind a
door.
A clatter of hurrying footsteps and
four policemen, flourishing revolvers and
electric torches, rushed into the room
and peered Into the clothes closet and
under the carpet. Another clatter and
three firemen, armed with fire axes and
monkey wrenches were in the room.
Lewis sat with hands to his head, wild
eyed, as the policemen- and firemen
dragged the three from their hiding
places and bundled them off.
“It’s all right,” said one officer on
the way out "These guys were pulling
a holdup near the fire house when we
came along and they ran In here to
hide.”
VANNUYS OPENS
FIGHT TO OUST
ALL COMMUNISTS
Files Charges Against German
Radical Arrested in Vin
cennes Raid.
War was declared on the communist
party in Indiana yesterday.
With the filing of a petition to cancel
the citizenship certificate of Joseph Bueb
ardt, Vincennes, Ind., United States Dis
trict Attorney Frederick VajhNuys start
ed what appears to be the beginning of
a clean sweep of radicals of this type
from the state.
“Communism shall not take root In In
diana,” be said.
It has been recently ruled by the sec
retary of the department of labor that
membership In the communist party is
sufficient to warrant deportation.
Mr. VanNuys will act under this ruling
in an effort to deport every red in In
diana of an alien birth, who Is affiliated
with the party.
Bucbardt, who Is a naturalized citizen,
was-arrested In Vincennes, Ind., during
the red raids of Jan. 3. He Is a Ger
man by birth. It Is set out in the peti
tion that he was naturalized Feb. 10,
1917, in the circuit court ol Greene county
and that he obtained his citizenship by
fraud. ,
The defendant was said to have been
the secretary and treasurer of the com
munist organization in Vincennes, char
tered as “German (No. 25) Branch.” He
is alleged to have received applications
for membership into the communist
party, collected dues and forwarded mon
ey to the national headquarters of the
party In Chicago. Bucbardt Is also said
to have spread communist pamphlets and
red propaganda in Vincennes.
The petition sets forth that Buehardt
was a disbeliever In organized govern
ment both before and after he was
granted citizenship, and furthermore that
he advocated the overthrow of the gov
ernment and the annihilation of govern
ment administration by force and revo
lution.
According to the petition, the com
munist party held a national convention
in the city of Chicago Sept. 1 to 9. 1919,
and adopted and Issued a manifesto and
program In writing declaring its belief
in the annihilation and overthrow of the
government by force and revolution. It
was further stated that this convention
approved And ratified a declaration
adopted by the congress of International
communists hold in Moscow March 2 to
6, 1919, advocating the forcible seizure of
the political apparatus of all organized
governments and the annihilation of all
legislative, judicial and administrative
powers of organized government.
Should the petition be grunted cancel
ing his citizenship the defendant will
probably be cited for deportation with
other foreign members of the communist
party.

COLD FAILS TO
HURT SCHOOLS
Attendance Records Nearly
Normal for Season.
Bad weather of the last two weeks
had little effect on attendance at the In
dianapolis public schools, according to
Superintendent E. U. Graff. Exact figures
on the attendance were not available.
“The number of pupils absent during
the bad weather lias not been nearly so
large as might be expected.” Mr. Graff
said yesterday. ‘‘ln fact attendance has
been little below normal for this time of
tbq year.”
There has been a good deal of sickness
among teachers, but not much. If any,
more than upual for January and Feb
ruary, the superintendent said. On one
or two days the number of teachers ab
sent has exceeded the number of sub
stitutes available.
TEXT BOOK SHORTAGE
IS THREATENED.
The attendance at the second semester
of the public schools will show normal
increase the superintendent said. Com
plete enrollmen figures are not yet avail
able.
The principal worry of the school of
flclals just now is the ever present one
of books. There are in Indianapolis
three main distlbutors with about twenty
drug stores and other places handling
some books. This caused great conges
tion arid In some instances no books can
be obtained because the dealers refuse to
buy more than they think they can sell.
PROFITS TOO lOW,
GRAFF ASSERTS.
Superintendent Graff declared yester
day be believed the 12 per eent profit
allowed dealers In school books too
small.
“There is not a retailer In Indianapo
lis today, I believe, doing business on a
12 per cent margin,” he said. “The deal
ers in books should be allowed a le
gitimate profit.”
Before the profits were limited to 12
per cent 125 stores handled books.
The high school libraries throughout
the city today began selling books to
those unable to get them at the stores.
This practice is followed every year after
pupils have been given a chance to pur

Clinical tests made in St. Catherine’s

BREAD GOING
UP TO 11 CENTS
A LOAF HERE
Fair Price Committee Agrees
to Rise on Account of In
crease in Flour.
Bread In Indianapolis, beginning to
morrow, will cost 11 cents for a one
pound loaf and 10 cents for a one and one
half pound loaf.
The Marlon county fair price committee
yesterday agreed to this figure for retail
ers after hearing wholesale bakers tell
how their operating costs had risen since
last October throughout the growing de
mand for "lily-white” bread and the in
crease in price of high patent flours.
The wholesale bakers were given per
mission to charge 9M> cents for the pound
loaf to the retailer and 14 cents for the
one and one-half-ponnd loaf.
The advance is subject to revision at
the end of each month, Fair Price Com
misisoner Stanley Wyckoff, who presided
at the meeting at the Chamber of Com
merce, announced. The bakers must sub
mit to him at the close of business Jan.
31 a statement of their cost of operation
for January. A similar report, made un
der oath. Is to be filed at the end of
each month and on ths report the price
of bread will be based.
This, according to Mr. Wyckoff, will
give the department of Justice figures on
which to determine whether prices are
fair.
The bakers told Mr. Wyckoff and the
fair price committee that they were en
tirely out cf the high patent flours which
they bought prior to October for from
sll to $11.50 per barrel and now were
making bread from flour that cost them
SJS and more per barrel.
The demand for rye bread and similar
breads containing low grade flours that
can be bought for $lO to $10.50, and
which is glutting warehouses, has
dropped off 80 to 90 per cent, the bakers
declared.
Inquiry by members of the committee
as to whether or not it is possible to
blend low and high grade flours and
make satisfactory bread brought out the
fact that the United States grain cor
poration recently had such an experiment
made and that it was a flat failure. The
bakers produced communications and pa
pers showing this to be a fact.

Safety Board Plans to Spend
$300,000, Works Body Told.
The city board of safety has tentative
plans to remodel the city market house
at an approximate cqst of £300,000, mem
bers told the board <ef nubile works at a
Joint conference yesterday.
The conference was called to discuss
methods of caring for the garbage at
the city market, which haa ‘been the
source of many complaints.
The board of public safety plans to
Include an Incinerator, new floors, flush

paratus in the market house, members
said.
Several months ago the mayor’s mar
ket advisory committee recommended
that immediate changes be made at the
city market. Including the complete re
modeling of the present buildings. No
action has been taken upon this report.
It was suggested that the Incinerator
be Installed as soon as possible In keep
ing with the plans, and also that stand
merchants near the courthouse be re
quired to keep all waste In receptacles.
Citizens also have complained of the
streets near the market house being In
a filthy condition.
The plans for remodeling the build
