DISARMAMENT
PROGRAM TO BE
PUT UP TO U. S.
British and Japanese League
Members Desire Approval
of This Country.
GENEVA. Nov. 23—The rutted States
will be asked to confirm the League of
Nations disarmament program when It
Is C'impleted, whether America Is a mem
ber of the league at that time or not,
It was learned today from an authori
tative source. The piesent indications,
however, are that It will be aome time
before the league has any definite ar
rangement for world disarmament.
The proposal for American confirma
tion la tald to have emanated from
Japanese and British members of the
committee on disarmament, but It ap
parently meets the approval of a ma
jority of the delegatee to the league of
Nations assembly meeting who see In It
the only eolation of the difficulty pre
sented by the fact that the United States
Is still outside the league.
Delegates expressed the opinion that
America, not being a member and not
being bound by the resolutions of the
assembly and council, would continue to
Increase her navy and military estab
lishment, thus making It Impracticable
for the league member* to disarm.
Leading delegates believe that, what
ever America’s eventual position toward
the league may be, public opinion in
the United States will force her to fom
go any program for an extra big navy
If the ether great powers of the world
agree to reduce their navles-
The final drafting T>f a disarmament
program may not be completed for a
year owing to the complexify of the
problem. It Is considered certain la
some circles, however, that Great Brit
tain and Japan may be especially fa
vored owing to their geographical posi
tions, both being Island empires.
It Is probable that the league will
wield the ax upon Germany’s army pro
gram, because the superb system of
German railways permit* the speedy re
moval of troops from one part of the
German nation to another for attack.
If the league goes further In Its rec
ommendations to nen-membera the
United State* will be handicapped on
th# ground that her great natural and
Industrial resources would enable her
to strike a blow If sh# de
veloped a militarist spirit.

the State Board of Education, Air. Hines
submitted the name of Mr. tVreldt.
REASONS ADVANCED
BT SOME.
C. O. Williams, superintendent of the
Richmond schools, said he could not vote
on the appointee today, because he wished
to confer with the superintendents of
four large Indiana cities’ schools regard
ing the appointment. E. U. Graff, super
intendent of the Indianapolis schools, alsu
said he did not desire to vote on the ap
pointee today because only eight of the
thirteen members of the board were pres
ent. ~
W. W. Parsons, president of the State
Normal Bcbool, said he was of the same
opinion as Mr. Graff, but ou statement
of Mi Hines that he held the proxies
of two members not present, Mr. Par
sons withdrew his objection. W. E.
StoF>. president of Purdue University,
said he had confidence in the selection
of Mr. Hines and believed the matter
should not be held o\er another thirty
days as material for the press and a
football for politics. He declared the
matter should be settled finally at the
meeting today.
A motion was made to hold over the
appointment until the next meeting of
the board. Mr. Graff, Mr. Williams,
Archibald M. Hall and Mrs. E. E. Olcott,
of North Vernon, voted to hold over the
appointment, with Mr. Stone. Mr. Parsons
and Clifford Fundenberg, of Huntington,
opposing. Mr. Hines was not permitted
a vote.
STONE DEXOCNCEB
ACTION OE BOARD.
Vigorous denunciation of the action of
tht board was voiced by President Stone.
He declared the appointment was a mat
ter of vital Importance, and should not
be delayed.
Snperintendent Hines declared he had
acted In the best faith in the appoint
ment of a vocational director and had
done so only after political pressure had
been brought on him for the appoint
ment of certain men in Indiana.
“This Is my appointment,” he said.
Mr. Hines Indicated he would not
change his selection and In this he was
supported by Mr. Stone and Mr. Parsons.
•*I will stick to you until the last but
ton Is pulled off my coat,” said Presi
dent Parsons.
Considerable discussion was had orer
the salary and term of office of the ap
pointee, previously to his nomination by
Mr. Hines. A question arose as to
whether the term of office of the voca
tional director should be one year, or
during good behavior. It was pointed
out the office should not be made one
of political spoils with a change every
time there Is a change In the State ad
ministration.
The matter was finally settled by tbe
statement of Superintendent Hines that
he had made the selection for an In
definite term. with a salary of 15,000 a
year.

alleged to have assisted Lawson, were
continued until Dec. 28, as were the
charges of drunkenness and operating a
blind tiger pending against Harry
Fletcher, who lives at tiie Atlas hotel,
and who was W’aiting in the taxi while
the driver went to the rooming house to
get the young women.
it was at 3 o'clock Sunday morning
that the taxi stopped on the east side of
Illinois street and Lawson ran. across
the street to the rooming house. It was
the second time he had taken Miss Bel
cher from the rooming house that night,
the police allege, the first time being
when Lawson took both the Livingston
and Belcher girls from the place and put
them Ir. a taxicab with two drunken
men. The taxi was driven to Riverside
Park, according to the police. Liquor
was said to have been In the automobile
and there was a fight, after which the two
glrl3 were brought back to the rooming
house.
When Lieutenant McMurtry and Ser
geant Dean’ saw the girls being led from
the rooming ’.house to the taxi they
leaped on to the running board of the
car and the arrest of Lawson and Fletcher
followed. The story told by Miss Bel
cher led the police to enter the room
ing house, where they arrested Miss Liv
ingston and Wright.
Wright had registered at the rooming
house as “Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sparks,”
and Lawson had registered as “Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Lawson." While his real name
is Tharel Lawson, he Is better known as
Jack.
They had remained at -the rooming
house three weeks, but immediately after
luring the girls to Indianapolis they are
said to have engaged two rooms at 637
West Morris street, but the people living
at that address becamo suspicious and
ordered the two couples to move.
Lawson has confessed that h* wrote
the letters which lured the girls to In
dianapolis, the police say, but Wright
denied that he wrote a letter signed
“Harry Sparks,” assuring the girls that
tbs statements In Lawson's letters were
true. He said that Lawson wrote both
letters and wrote the second in a differ
ent handwriting so It would fool the
girls.
The Federal authorities are holding
the taxicab driven by Lawson, as In that
automobile he Is alleged to have trans
ported the liquor.
Some Idea of the type of men Into
whose power the young women were
lured by the promises of wealth and
mansions is given In Wright's police
record, while the divorce records of Su
perior Court, -Room. 2. show something
of Lawson’s past history.
Wright admitted he had been arrested
twice, one time on a charge of breaking
tnto a building at a park and the other
time on the charge of stealing auto
mobiles. The later charge was brought
against him a year ago and be was con
victed and served a sixty-day sentence,
he said. Since that time he claims he
has worked for a dairy company on
Forty-Second street
Georgia Lawson, on April 8, through
her attorney, Elias W. Dullberger, filed
suit for divorce against Tharel William
Lawson, and on Nov. 8, the divorce was
granted by Judge Lynn D. Hay.
Lawson did not appear, according to
the records, and his wife was given her
maiden name Georgia Johnson.
In her complaint she charged that her
husband cursed her and struck her and
"did falsely accuse her of going out
with other men;” that he nagged and
quarreled with her and that he refused
to work or provide for her the necessities
of life, although able and capable of
I doing so. She charged he said he wished
l he had never been married, that he did
I not lore her any more and that he loved
another woman better. She averred that
; she was a good, true dutiful and obedient
wife, loving and affectionate and a good
housekeeper.
-ie complaint stated that she married
Lawson 8-pt. 12. 1818. and lived with
him until February, 1919, at 732 Lexing
ton avenue. At the time the divorce com
r.t.,ir t vr nß she was residing at fl<s7
River avenue.
me county clerk’s record* show that
Louis L. Kiefer, a Justice of the peace,
performed the wedding ceremony for the
Lawsons on the date set out In tbe
divorce complaint, and, in the records,
| it shows that Lawson stated he was
horn at Danville, Ind., Nov. 0, lflbb,
- which would make his age 24, Instead
i of 21, as he gave his age to the police
; when arrested.
He stated that bis father was Harry
I E. Lawson residing at 2250 Martini!ale
i avenue, which Is the address that
i Tharel W. Lawson, the taxi driver, gave
Jat the time of his arrest. In the ap
; plication for a wedding license Lawson
gave bis occupation as * '‘motorman."
Wright talked freely of the case, plac
ing the burden of blame on Lswson.
“He framed it,” Wright declared. “He
wrote the letters to the girls and he
asked me to meet them at the depot and
take them to the house on Morris street.
They rever met any other men bnt us
while at that house.”
“I told them the truth about the sup
posed death of Lawson's mlither In De
troit, also that Lawson was not worth
a dime and that I was not worth a dime.
That was a few days ago and they
planned to break away and return to
j their homes Monday, but we were ar
rested Sunday.
“I never forced the girl* to meet othef
men They did It willingly and Lawson
arranged It. Yes, I knew they were
meeting other men, bnt I never had any
thing to do with It and I never saw Law
son take any money given to the girls
by men.”
The girls told the pol'ce Lawson took
the money away from them after they
met men in bis taxi. Wright said. “I did
borrow money from the girls, but I al
ways paid it back.”
A letter from the father of the Belcher
girl reached Mrs. Eagan, sergeant of \he
women police, after the girls had started
home.
The letter, brief and poorly written,
explained that the girl's parents wanted
her to return to French Lick end also
that “the grandmother of the Livingston
girl would welcome her home as her par
ents are dead.”
The Livingston girl is married and
her husband is a Bailor lu the United
State Navy, the police say.

CITY COUNCIL
MAY REJECT GAS
CONTRACTPLAN
Move for New Franchise May
Be Called Off in Light of
Developments.
Decision either to suggest certain defi
nite amendments or to reject the whole
proposition will be made by the city
council before the end of this week upon
the contract amending the franchise of
the Citizens Gas Company, now up for
ratification. The contract binds the com
pany to make $1,000,000 worth of plant
extensions by Dec. 31, 1921, and $1,750,000
worth as soon thereafter as possible, and
gives the gas company the right to ration
gas so cook stove users will have prefer
ence In periods of shortage up to July 1,
1921.
Leaders in the council, Including Rus
sell Willson, President Gustav G.
Schmidt and Jesse E. Miller, members of
the special gas committee, are Inclined
to question several points in the pro
posed contract, and since the conference
on the contract, held last Thursday eve
ning, a decided inclination to reject the
whole matter has been developing.
SAYS PROGRAM
WILL BE CARRIED OUT.
Following approval of the contract by
the board of public works and Mayor
Charles W. Jewett more than a week
ago, J. D. Forrest, secretary and gen
eral manager of the gas company, Is
sued a statement In which he said the
Improvement program planned would go
through regardless of what the council
did to the contract.
This statement has caused a number
of conncllmen to state that If this Is so.
“what’s tho use of going through all this
fuss of amending the franchise?” The
present agitation for better gas facilities
arose from a serious shortsge which
lasred for almost twenty-four hoars late
In September. It was felt by city of
ficials that something should be done to
prevent further shortages.
Investigation of the company’s plants
disclosed that It would be Impossible to
make additions to the equipment which
would Increase the gas producing or
storing capacity for several months so It
was decided that the best thing to do
would be to make some provision that a
continuous supply for cooking, water
heating and lighting should be assured
at all times, even If It were at the ex
pense of house heating and Industries
during times of shortage and to get the
needed improvements at soon as possible.
IMPROVEMENTS
MOKE IMPtWRTAXT.
Os these two moves the conned! Is In
clined to consider the improvement pro- ;
gram of vastly more Importance. The j
councilmen point out, however, that the \
contract specifying the Improvements
does not Include an ironclad agreement :
that the improvements actually will be!
made by Dec. 31, 192 L since the whole j
program is made subject to the ability j
of the company to finance It.
Since Mr. Forrest has publicly stated !
that the Improvement program Is to go !
forward regardless of what the council j
does and slue# It is considered that this j
is about sil the contract promises, the j
councilmen are more and more inclined to
believe the contract unnecessary.
Some of the conncllmen express fear ;
of the sections In the contract providing j
for the rationing of gas. Mr Willson j
objects strenuously to th# section which
gives the board of works the power to i
investigate when the gas company de- |
dares a shortage to be in effect, but gives j
the board no power to do anything shoot i
it. Mr. Willson baa stated several time* |
he will not sign the contract as long as j
It reads this way. He and aomd of His
fellow members say they would not like
to be in the position of haring approved j
the contract shenld the gas company de- :
clare a number of shortages this winter ]
When citizens complained of poor service
to the gas company, the councilmen say.
It would be possible for the gas com- j
pany to sty it was rationing gas nnder
express orders of tho contract approved
by the council.
COUNCIL FEARS
BEING MADE GOAT.
Boiled down, the council fear* 1* would
be made the goat for poor gas service
until such time as the company sees fit
to make the proposed plant extensions,
and that it would he In a way placing
its stamp of approval upon a movement
for o higher gas rate by approving the
contract with the provisions that tho 1m
! provementg are to be made subject to tho
company’s ability to finance them.
A definite stand will be taken by the
council before the end of this week, Mr.
Willson, who is chairman of the council
committee of the whole considering the
l i ontruet, predicted.

IS ABOLISHED

to olean np vice, end that he felt "there
will be more effective work done with
the whole police department acting as
morals agents.”
MoWHIRTER ONLY
ONE TO COMMENT.
Felix M. McWhlrter, the only member
of the board of safety who would com
ment upon the move, said r
We believe that the chief has the
matter well In hand and we are glad
to uphold him ‘.n his recommendation
as we have never been otherwise
than Insistent upon the continuity
of law enforcement.
The only detailed explanation of the
change was given in Chief Kinney’s let
ter recommending It. The letter is as
follows:
I have the honor to recommend the
abolishment of the two morals
squads, as I am of the opinion that
the vice conditions of the city can
better be cared for nnder the super
vision of the field lieutenants, and
that the adoption of this plan will
further aid the department In Its ef
forts In checking vice.
This new arrangement will go into
effect immediately and I am satisfied
that conditions will not only be bet
tered now but will continue to Im
prove as the plans which I have un
der way are worked out. I am de
termined that the standard set for
the department by the board of
safety shall be maintained. The men
In the department have the ability
and judgment necessary to keep In
dianapolis in the front rank of the
morally decent cities of the country,
and the new plans should assist in
their efforts.
There la one thing to which I wish
to respectfully call the attention of
your board at this time. It Is the
necessity for co-operatloa of all law
enforcement agencies. This depart
ment Is anxious to co-operate with
the public, upon whom much depends
In law-enforcement, and welcomes
complaints and Information from In
dividuals,
With the captains responsible to the
chief, the lieutenants responsible to the
captains, the sergeants responsible to the
lleutensuts and the patrolmen responsible
to the sergeants, a spirit of watchfulness
for vice conditions on the part of every
member of the department will bo en
gendered, the chief said he believes.
Too often the patrolman, busy with
the multiplicity of other duties, have
seemed to be inbned with the Idea that
It was not cp to them to watch for
vice, that that was the job of the morals
squads excltislrely, tho chief said.
He declined to comment upon the re
duction of the heads of two squads,
further than to state that there had been
some criticism.

‘PRAYER MUST BE
WHOLE PROGRAM*
Noonday Speaker at Keith's
Gives Religious Discussion.
“The biggest thing a man can do is
to pray,” declared Dr. James I. Vance
of Nashville, Tenn., in an address on
"Prayer In Personality," at a noon meet
ing at Keith’s Theater. "Where Christ
says ‘I give myself to prayer’ be does not
say he gives himself to work or to war,
although we know that he was part of
these things. In prayer we can find our
keenest pleasure and our greatest Joy,
if we make it our whole program. If
your own prayer does not make any im
pression on yourself how can you expect
It to make any Impression with God?
“Personality Is the product of prayer.
It is more than the mere performance.
It is the Incarnation of the person.
The human being is the only one of
God’s creatures which can pray. But,
If you pray so that you enter Into your
prayer you must do It all th# way up,
all the way down and all the way
around. You yourself must be In the
thing, and it must be unto God or It Is
not prayer. You can't Just say a prayer,
you've got to be In it
“Then again, prayer Is the noblest
function of personality. Personality Is
the communion with the Infinite. Re
ligion Is not a creed, nor is it going to
church, but Is the contact between the
spirit of man and God. We cannot ex
plain what this communion is any more
than we can explain the manner In
which men converse with one another,
yet we know that if the body is keyed
to that pitch tbe contact will be made
and the prayer answered.
"The'greatest power in personality is
prayer. As In education it is not the
surroundings which make power, but it
Is the person himself, so It is in re
ligion. The secret of power is person
ality. You may choose other images
of personality besides" religion. You may
choose money, you may choose the in
fluence of words or some other gift in the
self, but the greatest is religion.”
“So yon may come to learn through
the power of personality In prayer that
prayer Is for times of Joy aa well as
sorrow.”
