WILL CONSIDER
OTHER CORNER
Board Defers Action on Six
teenth Street Jog.
Plans to remove the jog in Illinois
street at Sixteenth street and to re
surface West Morris street, termed tne
erty owners and business men from the
south side,” were held up by the board
of public works today on protests of
property owners.
The board told of a delegation of prop
erty owners and business men from the
neighborhood of Sixteenth and Illinois
streets that since the residents objected
' to the cutting off of the buildings at the
southeast corner of the intersection, so as
to give a clearer view both north and
south, that it had decided to give serious
consideration to a plan to cut buildings
off of the northwest corner instead, and,
accordingly, would have to take two
weeks longer for Investigation.
The board has decided, however, that
the jog must be eliminated at all costs,
Mark Miller, acting chairman, stated.
PRESENT COSTS
OBJECTION GROUND.
Property owners in. West Morris street
between West street and Madison avenue
objected to the resurfacing on the ground
that present costs are prohibitive and
the matter should he laid over at least
nntil next March, when costs might be
down. *
The board members replied that were
they to hold up all improvements for low
er costs the city might be without streets
before long.
After much argument it was decided
to postpone final action on the resolution
■until Dec. 15, by tfhicb time the city civil
engineer will have prepared plans and
the board advanced a resolution to the
point of confirmation for the resurfacing
ct the remainder of tfest Morris street
from West street to Kentucky avenue.
Some of the objecting property owners
said they would withdraw their dis
approval if the board would resurface
the street from Kentucky to Madison
avenues.
A resolution for the permanent im
provement of Cleveland street from New
York to Vermont streets was confirmed.
SUFFS DIRECT
NEW FIGHT ON
CONNECTICUT
(Continued From Page One.)
’
that Tennessee can not now withdraw
Its ratification.
The question, however, has never been
settled finally.
The most serious aspect of the case
as seen here was that the legality of
women’s votes may he called Into court.
A final decision probably can not be
tad until after the elections.
If the United States supreme court
should decide against the suflfraglpts the
results of the whole election would be 1
called into question.
The question may be settled, snffra- 1
gists hope, by the calling of a special
session of the Connecticut legislature.
Which they say has been promised them.
If Connecticut should ratify there
would be thirty-six states without Ten
nessee which had approved the suffrage
amendment.
SUPREME COURT
ACTION FORESEEN
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 1.-*-It is
generally conceded here that it will re
quire a decUlon from the supreme court
to determine what the Tennessee legis
lature has done with the resolution to
ratify the suffrage amendment.
The status of the suffrage resolution
became further confused yesterday after
noon when the house of representatives
expunged from the journal ail record of
ratification on Aug. 21. and then voted
to non concur in the action of the sen- (
ate In adopting the resolution.
The vote was 47 to 24. twenty not vnt
Ing.
The antis gained control of the house 1
by three votes owing to the absence of,
several of the suffragist members.
Speaker Seth Walker and Represents- '
tive Frank Hall of Dickaon county, en
gineered the proceedings to squash the
ratification resolution.
They had a solid majority behind them
and as fast as one point of order was
knocked out by the speaker or by the
test vote of the house. Representative
Hal! took the floor and moved on the
nest toward nullifying the previous
action of the house in ratification.
The result was foreseen from the time
the house convened.
The antis knew they had a majority.
The crowd of spectators was small, very
few women being In attendance In com
parison with the earlier days of the
fight.
There wns only one flop. Representa
tive Urawtord of Bedford county* who
had voted consistently with the suf
fragists. changed to the side of the antis.
IS EXPUNGED
PROM JOURNAL.
The first act of the house was to ex
punge from the journal every reference
to any and all business Transacted last
Saturday. Aug. 21, except that showing
no quorum present.
Representative Riddick of Shelby
county led the suffragist forces in their
feeble effort to check the antis In their
determination to defeat the suffrage
resolution.
He made the point of order: that the
house could not reconsider its action
in adoption of the suffrage amendment,
as both the senate and house had adopt
ed legally the ratification resolution, and
the amendment already was safely Im
bedded, in the constitution of the United
States as proclaimed by Secretary of
State Colby.
Speaker Walker overruled this point.
Representative Phelan of Shelby
county made the point of order that the
resolution was not me property of the
house, but was in the hands of the
United States government.
He likewise was overruled by Speaker
Walker, who held that the resolution
•was still the property of the house 3nd
could be supplied.
Representative Hall produced a certi
fied copy of the resolution, which, on
motion, was spread on the minutes of
the house.
The action of the house in reversing
itself on the suffrage measure was
cheered loudly by the anti members and
their sympathizers among the spectators
present.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
PREPARES FOR WAR
NEW YORK, Sept. I.—The National
League of Women Voters, while confi
dent the action of the anti-suffragists in
the Tennessee legislature in rescinding
that state's ratification of the suffrage
amendment is illegal, today began
“rounding up” its suffrage majority
emong the Tennessee assemblymen in
preparation for continuation of the bat
tle. -
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of tbe
league, passed most of the day In her
office here in telephone conversation with
officials of the organization, planning
resumption of the fight in Tennessee.
She sought opinions from the highest
federal and state legal officials.
She intimated their unofficial opinions
Sad been that original ratification of the
amendment would stand.
Miss Paul pointed out that the West
Virginia legislature was unable to recon
sider its ratification, and that when the
fifteenth amendment was passed after
the Civil war the New York asembly
was prevented from rescinding ita ac
tion in ratifying.
Negro Gets Locked
in Big Four Freight
Special to The Times.
GREENSBURG Ind., Sept. I.—Three
days locked in a Big Four freight car
without anything to eat or drink was
the fate of an unknown colored man. who
was discovered in a ear in the railroad
yards here.
A railroad employe, hearing a noise,
broke the seal and gave the negro his
liberty.
WHITE SAYS FUND
LIMIT IS FIXED
AT $2,000,000
(Continued From Page One.)
Portland, Ore., at SIOO per week, but dis
missed him when he learned Hall had
negotiated with the republicans.
Senator New of Indiana, head of the
republican speakers’ bureau, testified
Tuesday that Hall told him the demo
crats had offered him $7,500 a year and
a good job after election.
New said Hall was employed by demo
cratic headquarters in New York.
‘‘He told us that the republicans had
offered him SB,OOO a year,” White said.
Senator Edge of New York asked White
concerning a reported meeting in
York Sunday night, attended, according
to reports, by Gov. Cox, Bernard Baruch,
Thomas Chadfcourne and other demo
crat.’.
White said he didn't know anything
about the meeting or whether it was for
the purpose of discussing party finances.
Edge asked whether the democrats had
written to various corporations demand
ing definite sums as contributions t 0 tbe
democratic war chest.
White disclaimed knowledge of any
such procedure.
“Do you believe the republican national
committee is planning to .corrupt tbe
American electorate?” demanded Edge.
After a wrangle with Reed. Edge wlth
drew the question.
' Do you know if telegrams have been
sent to banks or others, asking for hur
ried contributions?” Edge resumed.
“I know Treasurer Marsh did send out
some telegrams to friends asking for
funds. I don't know to whom he sent
them.”
White said $65,000 was all the demo
crats had raised to date.
“We’re in serious need." he declared.
"Don't you know that Tammany hall
will raise hundreds of thousands of dol
lars that won't go Info the hapds of the
national committee?” asked Edge.
“I don't know; we have no control ovei
Tammany.”, replied White.
REED TAKES TURN
AT QUESTIONING.
"Isn't it true that presidential elec
tions often turn on one state and that
money used corruptly in even one pre
cinct may turn the whole election?” Sen
ator Reed asked.-"
“Quite true,” said White.
Reed cited instances in the Harrison
campaign and in New York campaigns
when a few purchased votes affected the
result.
“About this Barnes book," Reed went
on. “It isn't the book you fear but the
effect of pledges of support from big
financiers.”
“That's so," said White.
White said he personally would be
responsible for saying that no contribu
tions are accepted by the democrats
from special interests or improper
sources.
White said be did not think the pub
lication of such a list of capitalists as
the Barnes book lists would be likely
to swing any votes to a party.
“But suppose the list were sent to a
select group of financiers, wouldn't It
influence them to follow the lead of the
big men?” asked Reed.
“Well, it would be a suggestion any
way.” said White.
“So you feel discouraged about finances
because the cupboard's bare,” said Ken
yon.
"Oh. no. I expect popular subscriptions
to fill up the cupboard.” White replied.
Senator Edge suggested that White
tdre Thomas Chadbourne to collect the
$2,000,000 budget.
"He collected that much money in New
York City In one mayoralty campaign,"
said Edge.
REPUBLICANS FEAR
TO CALL GOV. COX.
On the ground that Gov. Cox would
make a stump speech if allowed to tes
tify In the slush fund Inquiry, republican
members of the committee virtually have
decided not to call Cox.
They fear he would seize the oppor
tunity to loose another denunciation of
the republican party, including the re
publican majority of the committee.
If they can help it Cox won't get that
chance.
Democratic members and party lead
ers here for the investigation, said they
can prove their case without putting Cox
on the stand.
When W. D. Jamieson, former director
of finance of the democratic committee,
takes the stand he is to be asked about
letters he is alleged to have written to
postmasters and other federal employes
which, according to the republicans, were
polite, but firm demands for campaign
contributions.
The republicans have many such let
ters. they said.
The republicans are going Into the
booze issue also with great vigor as
soon as George T. Carroll, New Jersey
liquor man, arrives In response to a sub
poenae. /
Carroll wrote tbe letter soliciting funds
in support of Cox which Will Hays pro
duced Monday.
Republican Treasurer Upham, who com
pleted his testimony at the second day’s
hearing, may be recalled briefly.
Upham. late in the day, produced a
‘‘quota list.” which he said he drew up
In May, 1919, showing the forty-eight
states were expected to raise $4,887,500
for the national committee.
In addition Upham said a viumber of
states planned to raise $778,000 more for
purely state needs.
He also testified that $700,000, to be de
voted to the senatorial and congressional
campaigns, had not been Included In the
budget.
.Senator Reed, democrat, drew the con
clusion that the total expense estimated
for was the sum of the three Items, or
$6,395,300.
Upham insisted the $4,000,000 item rep
resented only "a mark to shoot at."
He said It was nullified when the
budget of $3,079,000 was fixed on July,
1920.
Upham was followed by Senator New
of Indiana, who detailed expenses of
tbe republican speakers bureau and by
Chairman Hays, who gave other data on
contracts desired by Reed.

HOLD HEATING
COST HEARING
Ho> Water and Steam Situa
tion Said to Be Serious.
E. I. Lewis, chalrinan of the public
service commission, today issued a re
quest to all patrons of the Indianapolis
Light and Heat Company and the Mer
chants Heat and Light Company, using
hot water or steam heat to attend the
hearing on the petition of these com
panies for increased rates.
The hearings will be held tomorrow af
ternoon at 2 o’clock, in the hearing room
of the commission on the fourth floor of
the statehouse.
Increases of 22*4 cents on steam heat
ing rates and 20 cents on hot water
heating rates are asked in the petitions.
This would make a price of 50 cents
per square foot on hot water rates, as
compared to the present rate of 30 cents,
and 50 cents per square foot of radia
tion flat rate per season on steam heat,
Instead of the present rate of 37Vs cents.
Authority to discontinue hot water
heating in Indianapolis for the heating
season of 1920 and 1921, should the com
mission refuse to grant the Increase in
rates, is asked in the petition.
“The hot water heating situation, as
well as steam heating, is critical,” said
Mr. Lewis today.
“We want the citizens of Indianapolis
to attend this hearing, and to lend every
assistance possible n> aiding the commis
sion to make a fair decision.
•trDuring the past year the commission
has seen fit to grant authority for the
discontinuance of hot water heating in
six cities.
“We have allowed increases of 36 cents
in Frankfort, 37 cenjs in Newcastle arm
36 cents In Lafayette, where the hot
water heating service was in a serious
situation.
"It seems that with the increased cost
of coal and shortage of labor hot water
heating has become almost an Impossi
bility."

Tuesday morning Capt. Claude F.
Johnson, in charge of traffic in the po
lice department, said the letter had
been referred to him and that he hao.
made a report on it, which he had
taken to th? board of safety MoDdaj
evening
Examination of tbe report showed
that whereas Col. Perry vyrote to Mayer
Jeyett on April 10 George W.
Williams, executive secretary of the
hoard of public safety, wrote to Col.
I’erry on June 12 saying that be had
received the "complaint” and had re
quested the chief of police to investi
gate
This is the last word Col. Terry has
had from the administration, he said.
On the same date Mr. Williams wrote
to Chief Kinney as follows:
"Dear Sir:
"Please find attached communication
from Oran Perry, superintendent of the
state Soldiers' and Sailors' monument,
which was referred to this office by the
mayor, and which is self-explanatory.
Would be pleased to have your recoin

“Chief of Police.
“Sir:—With reference to tonimuniea
tion from Oran Perry, superintendent of
the State Soldiers' end Sailors' monu
ment, concerning traffic on Monument
circle, I wish to state that for at least
two thirds of the time in the last year I
have had a traffic policeman detailed on
the circle for the sole purpose of check
ing cars and regulating traffic. I also
gave orders to tbe motorcycle men to pay
some attention to traffic at this point,
and as a result several speedsters have
been arrested there. This being a one
way street. 1t Is next to impossible to
prevent traffic traveling two abreast. 1
know that traffic becomes very congest
ed at this point during the heavy hours,
but I do not believe that condition* are
half as bed as Col. Perry picture* them.
"Very respectfully,
“CLAUDE F. JOHNSON,

of Mrs. McAbee It waa .hought condition*

An Explanation
Some misapprehension of the purpose of the conference held
by the Public Service Commission Monday afternoon calls for a
brief statement by us.
This conference was called by the Commission solely for con
sideration of means of conserving gas next winter. Supplies of
coal will be so limited that it will be impossible to produce as much
gas as the public will want if it tries to use gas for beating
purposes,
✓ *
The Commission desires to establish some automatic means of
regulating tbe demand, and has suggested an ascending sliding
scale as the best practicable device.
In this opinion we concflr. But we have not asked for establish
ment of such a scale or for any other increase of rates) At present
we do no.t intend to do so. If any conservation measure adopted
by the Commission results incidentally in an increase in revenues,
all such increase will be devoted to betterments of our equipment
for supplying the public,' and our capital account will be cor
respondingly amortized.
Many betterments arc urgently needed and cannot be financed
from our present revenues. We do not ask for any increase in
gas rates for the benefit of our stockholders; but any increase in
earnings from that or any other source will be used by us for bene
fit of the public. For that purpose increased revenue is urgently
needed; but the matter brought up by ike Commission is a means
of conserving gas in the emergencies of the coming winter and has
no relation to revenue for the Gas Company, except as any in
cidental increase will be utilized solely for improvements in the
plants and systems.
