‘NO POLITICS IN
SCHOOLS* IS RULE
Board Takes Action to Halt
Employes' Activity.
j A move to protect employes of the
public schools from approach by pol
iticians who desire them to actively en
gage In the campaign in the interests
of certain candidates, was made by school
officials today.
School employes are forbidden by a
rule of the board of school commissioners
from taking any active part in any po
litical campaign, other than Toting.
The board, at a meeting last night,
ordered copies of the rule posted where
all employes might see them.
Commissioner Charles L. Barry, upon
whose motion the decision to post the
rule was made, stated that he has re
ceived a number of reports of school em
ployes being approached by politicians
who urged them to work on behalf of
certain candidates and that he instituted
the board action in order that the em
ployes might know that they were sub
ject to dismissal from the service if they
heeded the requests of the political work
ers. "
Be stated that so far as he knows the
charge of tampering with school em
ployes can be made against no particular
party since workers of several are said
to have been guilty.
UEFER NIGHT SCHOOI- ,
DECISION UNTIL LATEB.

ference with officials of the Knights of
Columbus after it had adopted a resolu
tion informing the lodge that it did not

which the order proposes to operate,
t The sympathy of the board with the
lodge’s project was expressed and the
order was invited to cooperate with the
public night schools already in existence
by giving its financial support to a pub
lic night school at Shortrldge to be con
ducted by public school authorities.

LINGENFELTER’S
FLIGHT TO NAVY
‘PREARRANGED’
(Continued From rage One.)
conducted’’ examination, where Prosecn
tor Adams himself asked questions to
belittle the charges again*,: Llngenfelter.
Among the statements from witnesses
who were not brought before the grand
Jury are the following:
Robert Etter. 1923 Adams street:
“About a week before Llngenfelter was
arrested I heard a disturbance in the al
i ley back of my home. t
“ I thought someone was trying to
■ steal my rabbits and 1 •investigated,
j “I found a man with a motorcycle and
with four or five little girls.*
• “When I appeared he left.
| "I ister learned he was Llngenfelter.
j “I was subpoenaed to police court and
told there by a prosecutor whose name I
I do not know that I would-be subpoenaed
, before the grand Jury.
“I was never subpoenaed before the
' grand jury and I did not know the case
was being investigated until I read about
it in The Times.
“I can not understand why I was not
called.”
MOTHER OF LITTLE
GIRLS TELLS STORY.
Mrs. Charles A. Pope, 3315 East
Twentieth street, the mother of two lit
tle girls, Dorothy, 8, and Mildred, 7, said:
“My two little girls were playing in
the neighborhood in the afternoon, when
this man Llngenfelter, who was riding a
motorcycle, put his machine In an alley
near my home and came up to where the
: children were playing.
“He asked the children to aid him in
finding , a piece of wire as he told them
that his motorcycle was broken and
would not run unless he had a piece of
: wire.
“The children, just as children would
i do, helped him flud a piece of wire, and
| when they went with him into the alley
! where his motorcycle was, he gave Dor
-1 othy a nickel and two pennies to Mildred.
| "The children at once started to the
corner grocery to bdb some candy, but
| Lingenfeltqr called them back and asked
them if they wanted more money.
“The children became frightened at his
conduct and ran out of the alley.
“After my children came home and told
me about it, Llngenfelter rode away, and
I was told that he went to Brlghtwood,
where he was with a little glrl
“When the police first came out 1 told
them of Llngenfelter giving my children
some money, of offering them more and
attempting to get my oldest daughter
on his motorcycle.
WAS NEVER CALLED
BEFORE THE GRAND JCRY.
“I took my children to the City Conrt
and when Lingenfe’.ter was bound over to
the grand jury I asked the police If they
wanted me to appear and I was told that
I would be notified.
“I was never summoned to appear be
-1 fore the grand jury and would not have
known that the investigation was over
had I not read It Th the papers.
“I was willing to appear before the
grand Jury to aid in clearing up this mat
ter.”
Although it is a well-known principle
of law that it is the duty of a grand
jury to present a true bill when it has
reason to believe that a crime has been
committed and it is never within tho
province of the grand Jury to determine
whether the evidence before it is con
| elusive proof of guilt, the grand Jury
. did not indict Lingenfelter because the
; evidence was not “conclusive,” according
|to Ilalph Jones, deputy prosecutor, who
1 conducted the first inquiry.
Following the second inquiry Mr. Jones
said:
“If any one thinks that the grgnd Jury
erred in Its judgment, that Is their right,
but the evidence would not warrant an
indictment.
“There was a lot of hearsay evidence,
but none that was conclusive.’*
At the recrnlting station of the United
States Navy it was said todffy that the
facts concerning Llngenfelter would be
sent to the Navy Department in order
that the question of whether he would be
retained in the Navy could receive con
sideration.
GOODRICH TELLS
OF COAL FACTS
(Continued From Page One.)
wants the inside facta .laid before the
people of the State.
If the operators, aa Penna indicates
want to pursue the same publlc-be-d—n
policy that brought liquor business to its
end and bas driven the public to drastic
regulatory measures In the control of
other business as to protect the people
from extortion, the responsibility ilea
with them.
The cbmmission baa shown a disposi
tion to deal fairly with the operators In
the adjustment or this matter. They only
want coal for the people of Indiana at
a fair price.
This they Intend to have if there Is
power invested in them under the law
to require the operators to furnish the
coal.
The operators complain that too much
publicity has been given to the facts as
certained by the commission.
This was not done, however, until the
operators indicated pretty clearly that
they did not Intend to comply with any
of the orders of the commission.
The operators may drive the commis
sion to do some things that under ordi
nary circumstances would not be done.
They might Just as well understand
that this commission intends to exhaust
every lawful power that is vested in it to
see that the -provisions of the law are
fnlthfullv carried out and that the people
of the State are given coal at a fair
pr On'e thing is certain. If the operators
persist In the'r refusal to furnish coal
to tho people of the State upon the order
of the commission, all the facts In the
possession of the commission will be
given to tbe public.
Tho Investigation showed that ten com
panies In Indiana produce one-third ot
the coal; that twenty-six companies pro
duce more than 52 per cent of the coal
and that 172 companies In the State con
trol practically the entire output.
The time has gorse by In this or any
other State when a few men can control
n great basic commodity like coal, a
thing necessary to the preservation of
life in our State, and nse it according
to their own sweet will without any re
gard whatever to the public interest.
Tbe passage of this -eoal law was
brought about by the conduct of the op
erators themselves.
The executive and the general assembly
were reluctant to take this step.
It Is for the coal operators of this
State to say whether or not it will be
necessary to take further steps in order
to protect our people.

U.S. DENIES MORE
FARMER’S CREDITS
Disastrous Results of Prije
Declines Are Pointed.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—The Federal
Reserve Board will not change its policy
to provide greater extension o{ credit to
the farmers, as requested tfy a conference
of farmers here with the national board
of farm organisation, according to Sena
tor Lee S. Overman of North Carolina.
Senator Overman made this statement
following a conference with Governor
Harding of the Federal Reserve Board.
He stated that he had been assured by
Governor Harding that there can be no
change o t policy for .the beueflt of the
farmers.
Unless relief is granted the farmers
a general panic and ruin are Inevitable,
according to the statement prepared by
committee appointed by the farmers.
The statement, which contained a set
of demands which the farmers will press
before the beads of governmental depart
ments and bureaus here, pictured the out
look as extremely serious.
Conditions In the agricultural regions,
it was said, are desperate and the farm
ers’ frame of mind ominous.
The producers of all crops, the state
ment declared, have come to feel that
thV band of the Government is against
them. *
Officials of the Treasury Department
and the Federal reserve board are
charged In the statement with having ex
ceeded tbelr authority in publicly an
nouncing opinions of the prices of farm
products which hare resulted in disas
trous price declines.
The farmers demand these officials
discontinue such statements.
The effect of these statements, it is
urged, was that banks have withheld
loans from farmers.
COAL DEALERS
ASKING HIGHER
PRICE MARGIN

showed a “Ford pleasure car” listed at a
yearly expense of $1,149 for repairs only.
The use which was made of the car
was not determined and Mr. Dalton said
he would verify the figures.
The Item was found on the cost sheet
by Mr. Young, and when it was men
tioned brought a smile and laugh to
about fifty assembled retailers.
Mr. Dalton explained that Ms com
pany, since the issuance of order No. 3,
bad violated the law, and had sold coal
at a margin of $3 a ten. Bales at the
fixed orlee would have led to a loss of
75 cents a ton. he said.
In closing his presentation of evi
dence he said the figures were presented
to the commission upon the assumption
that the commission would allow a rea
sonable profit.
COAL RECEIPTS
BELOW NORMAL,
Coal receipts, he said. In answering h
question of Mr. Young, were at the pres
ent time below normal, yet better than
the same period for the previous year.
The high cost of coal. Mr, Dalton said,
depends somewhat upon the present
shortage.
Attorney Frederick E. Matson stated
that the Indiana Retail Coal Merchants'
Association expected to submit suffi
cient evidence to the commission to show
that it was necessary to fix a certain
price for a certain group of retailers in
various sections of the state, with the
assumption that when the evidence is
submitted the commission will act ac
cordingly.
• Mr. Matson pointed out that it was nec
essary to- arrange in groups retailers
who desired rehearings or moCfiflcatlons
of the order to expedite matters, and
otherwise the commission would be en
gaged in hearing individual cases for
months, while no coal would be produf*<j
at the prices fixed in the meantime,
Petitions for rehearings from retail coal
merchants will be received by Mr. Matson
and grouped by him, then presented to
the. commission for modifications.
Fates of other retailers and wholesalers
are scheduled for Thursday.
PREPARED STATEMENT
SHOWS OPERATING COST.
In opening the hearing Mr. Matson
read a long statement which be said
conveyed the views and opinion of re
tailers on the order* of the special coal
jand food commission.
Mr. Maiaon said the retailers were
united in their statement that the mar
gin of $2 25 fixed by the commission did
not cover the actual coet of operation,
to say nothing of allowing a profit.
He declared that the retailers were
honest business men, and there vti t no
reason to believe that as a class they
were less honest or less truthful than
other citixena, and that their atatementa
were entitled to consideration.
He said that retailera had suffered
considerable losses, and were in no dv
gree responsible for the distressing coal
situation, yet were as anxious as the
consuming public that an adequate sup
ply of cool be made quickly available.
“Competition will prevent unfair retail
profits, the same as in other lines of
business,” stated Mr. Matson.
ARGUES DEALERS
HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS.
Other statements made by Mr. Matson
follow In part: "This is the first time in
the history of the country that a com
modity of ordinary commerce lias been
taken out of the field of competition and
the prices fixed for the merchant.
"It is nlso the first time where any
public commission has Tnidertaken arbi
trarily to fix a price genenuly and with
out regard to conditions local and indi
vidual to the concern furnishing the
thing for which the price is fixed.
"A comparison of rate-fixing powers
and methods of the Public Service Com
mission. with that of the coal commission,
were shown by Mr. Matson in his re
marks, after which he said that Indi
vidual concerns only were governed by
the Axed price. , -
"No rsrte Is ever fixed which will drive
an existing concern out of business, but
the right to continue In a business al
ready establlahed is and must always
be recognized.
‘Never before has a commission un
dertaken to fix a flat rnt® applying alike
to every community In all parts of the
state, and alike to all Individual con
cerns, without regard to the various con
ditions under which they ar® doing
business.”
Refusal of certain Indiana mino oper
ators to furnish coal to Indiana whole
salers and retailers, and the failure ot
the Indiana special coal and food com
mission members to "get together” for
a conference has developed a crisis in
the present coal situation.
Aside from a few exceptions, mine
operators will not put their product on
the market at tbo prices fixed by the
coal commission, it is said.
Wholesalers and retailers state they
have quit handling Indiana coal, as they
cannot operate on the margins of profit
allowed.
DEALERS SELLING AT
FIXED PRICES SWAMPED. * '
Some dealers have Indiana mine run
to sell at $8 and $8.75 a ton, a price
higher than that fixed by the commis
sion, but the same dealers explain It
is contract coal they have for sale, and
no more Is to be secured at the new
prices.
The Linton mines are furnishing coal
at the new prices to a few local dealers
and orders are swamping the offices of
the wholesalers and retailer*.

director of the American Wholesale Coni

“Why. iny dear friends, the League ct

BAR FOUND LEAGUE
DID NOT CONFLICT
He told of the investigations of the
representatives of the American Itnr As
sociation, to determine whether the
league covenant was in conflict with the
Constitution of the United States.
The report of this eomaliu.ee, he said,
showed there was not one word or sen
tence in the covenant that la any manner
would conlfict with the Conatitntion.

I of the C'nite.l States
"Tbts is not true,” Governor Cox re
plied, and he told ghe number of vote*
each nation, with their possessions,
would have in the league council and tb&
league assembly.
The speaker devoted much time to the
varloua stands taken by the Republican
presidential candidate on the League of
Nuttons, and outlined the eleven different
positions taken by Senator Harding In
regard to "the” or “a” league or as
sociation of nations.
He declared the league of Natlona Is
a religious principle and said he was
In favor holding to tha creed of Jesua
Christ, that "I am tny brother's keeper.”
instead of adhering to the creed of Cain.
He named the various religious de
nominations and societies that have In
dorsed the League of Nations and de
clared that no person, or sect of men
who have the Interests of humanity at
heart can conscientiously refuse to ac
cept or indorse the league.
Governor Cox asked the people of In
diana to give him one Hoosler Tote In
the Senate for the League of Nations.
"Your Senator, Jim Watson, is against
tbo league, and Thomas Tsggart, your
candidate for Senator, la for the league.
"I aak you to send him to Washington
to help me put the United States in the
league,” he said.
‘•‘Senator Harding has turned bis back
on the league and has declared himself
to be against it entirely.
“I tell you again that I am heart and

Favorite Prescription
There is one thing, that never goes out of style, and that is health. Plain dresses
on a healthy, good-looking woman show off to far better advantage than fine raiment on
a sickly woman. Health needn’t costa woman much. If she is weak, sickly, out of sorts,
run down and irritable; if she has pain on top of the head, dragging-down sensations and
dizziness, let her get a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Remedy "at the drug store and
take it.
In short order she will fmd herself growing stronger and She can see in
the looking glass that her complexion is improving, and that from day to day she is
better looking. She will note with great joy that she is keeping in style by keeping well.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription has been sold in the drug stores for 50 years. In
half a century no one has ever made a better medicine for women. A remedy that has
made sick women well for so long a time must surely have the confidence of every
woman who reads this article in the paper. Try the tablets now .
South Bend, Ind.— 1 "I cannot praiae Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription too highly for the
great benefit it has been to me in years gone by. I was in very poor health with a complication
of ailments brought on by inward weakness, when my children were small, and it was the Favorite
Prescription which restored me to health after all other doctoring had failed. I have recommended
this medicine to many ailing women and I have never had one come bfeck to me and complain that
the Favorite Prescription had not helped her. But many times I have heard them say * Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the best medicine I have ever taken.’"—Mas. Jennie Dickerhoff, No.

JAPAN IS HEAVY
MUNITIONS BUYER
American Dispute Only Visible
Reason for Move.
LONDON, Oct. IS,— Japan alone of all
the great countries of tho world, is a
heavy buyer of munitions and other war
supplies.
This.revelation was made today by re
liable sources.
Japan’s procedurs Is said to involve
secret contracts and widespread inquiries
for war materials by Japanese secret
agents.
Japanese agents are reported to be as
active as they were in the days Just pre
ceding the Russo-Japanese war.
The activitifs of Japanese are the sub
ject of much speculation in a small elr
e'.e where the facts are known, since
Japan is faced with no danger from her
own hemisphere greater than prostrate
China.
The Japanese dispute with America
over immigration is the only visible rea
son for speeding up the Japanese war
machine.
According to information secured here
Japanese agents are making every effort
to obtain guns, big and little, and am
munition.
The Japanese ere apparently eager to
secure a single gpn of each of the most
effective type of heavy artillery used in
the world war.
These are shipped home for models so
that similar guns can be produced in the
Japanese armament works.
Japan is not equipped for the repro
duction of airplanes, but has placed large
orders for aircraft with several firms in
England and smaller orders for sea
planes.

ness and bronchial asthma,
