CHANGES NEEDED

who is going to be on the pay rolls of
several important county institutions?
Dr. Wright stated in his otTi.-ial re
port that his survey shows the Asylum
for Friendless Colored Children "is old.
dilapidated and gives little uplift to the
children." and re-omuiepded that anew
plant with abundance of land is the solu
tion of this problem.
The expert held that the Indianapolis
orphan Asylum, the Sisters of the (rood
Shepherd and the General Protestant
Orphans' Home, where chjldren are sent,
are "in good condition and well run."
DISCUSSES CONDITIONS
IN CENTER TOWNSHIP.
In discussing conditions existing in
the office of the township trustee of
Center township. Dr. Wrieht stated in
his report :
"Examination has beeu made of the
method of giving poor relief in private
homes by the township trustee of Center
township.
“The records were examined in his
office to determine the form and the
completeness of the record, the amount
and freqnency of relief given and the
adjustment of relief to the need-..
“Three sets of records are kept: one
is a book in which are copied a d®
scription of the cases receiving relief.
•“To each record is allotted a possible
space of about four inches across the
page.
"Another book is In the form of a
ledger recording the amounts given to
each case.
“The third book keeps an amount
with the firms from which supplies are
purchased.
"The description of the cases entered
in the case record book is very brief, sel
dom filling the small space allotted.
NO RECORD OF
LATER VISITS.
"This book is not indexed, which would
seem to indicate that little reference Is
made to the book after the case history
is inserted.
“Morover, there is no record of subse
quent visits.
"There is no record as to why relief
was discontinued and the only informa
tion as to its discontinuance is the last
entry of amount in the ledger showing
the relief given.
"So far as one can judge from the
record, there is not a recognized basis on
which relief is given.
"For instance, the general practice was
to give $3 at stated periods, approxi
mating a week; subsequently this amount
was Increased to $5.
"The amount seemed to be in the main
uniform whether a family of two, three
or more.
"So far as the record shows, there was
no reinvestigation at the home to de
termine whether the relief that was
being given was adequate or too ample.
"The case record usually noted
whether any organization was giving re
lief to the family, but did not indicate
th* amount of such relief.
"Inasmuch as the -cases were .not in
dexed. it is difficult to see how there
could bo knowledge as to whether a pri
vate organization began assisting or giv
ing relief to tho case after the original
Investigation and reoord by the trus
tee’s office.'’
I*OINT TO LAW
OX DCPUCATION.
Or. Wright pointed out that the trus
tee under the law shall cooperate with
other organizations to the end that there
shall l>e no duplication.
He found that “there is a central con
fidential exchange operated on behalf
•>f the rations charitable organisations
in the city of Indlauapolis, in which
practically all such organizations regis
ter their cases, but found, according to
his report, that the trustee does not reg
ister his cases in this exchange.
It is probable that the county council,
which approved of the county commis
sioners employing an expert to make a
surrey of county institutions, will in
formally discuss Dr. Wright's report on
special session to determine a bond Is
sue pertaining to the courthouse refund
ing bonds.

sum of $5,000 in the Tnited States dis
trict court this morning against the
Frazier Packing Company of Elwood.
The complaint, of which there are two
paragraphs, charges the defendant with
breach of contract.
Mr. Johnson testified as to the cost
of operation of milling plants and gave
in detail the comparative coat of main
taining a mill run by steam power and
by electric power.
\V. C. Richardson, cashier of the ln
dinnap -lis Light and Heat Company, fol
lowed Mr Johnson on the stand.
According to Mr. Richardson, without
the Mirrhnree granted the company by
the pnbli'- servW commission several
years ago. the eompany would have lost
a total rtf several thousand dollars in
th<> operation of its plant.
Federal fax on the company’s eieetrlc
service. Mr. Richardson testified,
amounted to M 2.28037 in the last year.
Nine-' eight per cent of tbo power eon

president of that corporation.

slid Mr. Ferry, ' anil It is imperative that

An Idea <f the growth of the '-otn
rany in the past Pv® years Was gained
from Mr. Ferry *hn hr- seld that in
H*lf> the public eervi. o comnjisslon re
duced the rates in Indianapolia, causing
n hip lecre.s* In revenue, and when In
11'IG the company lost the street light
ing contract, which ala • caused a *e
riou* los* in revenue.
For the next two years husiu* :• was
normal. Mr. Ferry stated, but sin-c that
time the company has rat le up this loss
in Increased business.
S AYS HOME ONE
Ml *T “DO IT.”
When quesfiom-d a* to the propriety
in the company's spending 4 sum of
ino>ey foe Improvements to care for In
creased business, the return for which
has not yet equaled the expenditure, Mr.
I erry declared :
•‘Some one has to take care of, the
growth of Indianapolis.
"We operated at a loss by spending
money for Increased business, but will
make our return on this."
Reference was made by Mr. Perry to
the difficulties confronting public utilities
In the latter half of last year, when they
were confronted by the labor difficulties
prevalent then, hi the demands for higher
wages and shorter hoars.
The coal strike, he declared, was the
greatest difficulty confronting his com
pany then, and this difficulty has not
lessened since that time.
Mr. Ferry declared in no uncertain
language that he had opinions of his own
on the eonl proposition, but he was not
given opportunity to voice those opinions.
The Indianapolis company was repre
sented at the hearing by its counsel,
Charles N. Thompson.
It is probable that the hearing will
not be completed before late Wednesday
evening or early Thursday.

- PARIS. May 26. —Former Premier
Georges Clemeneeau, in an Interview with '
the newspaper Gaolois today declined to
be drawn into any controversy concern
ing the merits of the treaty of Versailles,
especially the indemnity feature of it.
‘‘l realized in advance that the treaty
was bound to be the target of criticism,
but I am only concerned with those that
imperil French interests," Clemeneeau
was quoted as saying.
"I do not intend to be drawn into any
controversies with former political op
ponents who are now criticising the
treaty.
"England and America argued during
the peace conference that Germany i3
capable of paying only 75.000,000,000
marks in gold, and that France would
have to rehabilitate the devastated re
gions from her share of the indemnity.
"The discussion* were long and dis-
Itcnlt. hut finally the British and Ameri
cans agreed to the solution which was
gnade part of the treaty.
"Non this solution has been aban
doned."
M. Clemeneeau said he approved of the
resignation of former President Poincare
from the reparations commission.
M. Poincare left tbe commission be
cause its powers were apparently nulli

Ached So Kentucky Man Took
Black-Draught—“It Cured
Me,' He Says.
Nancy, Ky.—Mr. Marion Holcomb
of this place says: "For quite a long
while I suffered with stomach trou
ble. I would have pains and a heavy
feeling after my meals, also a most
disagreeable taste in my mouth. If
I ate anything with butter, oil or
grease, I would spit it up. I began to
have regular sick headache.
“I had used pills and tablets, but
after a course of these I would be
constipated. It just seemed to tear
my stomach up. I found they were
no good at all for my trouble.
“I heard Thedford’s Black-Draught
recommended very highly, so I bega#
to use it. It cured me. I keep it
in the house all the time. It is the
best liver medicine made. I do not
have sick headache or stomach trou
ble any more.”
When suffering from headache,
constipation, stomach or liver trou>
ble, try the old and well-recommend
ed. purely vegetable, Thedford’s
Black-Draught.
Just as Black-Draught brought re
lief to Mr. Holcomb, so it also has to
thousands of others, and should help
you, too.
Insist on having the genuine.—Ad-
vertisement.
