LEAGUE TURNS
COLD SHOULDER
TO ARGENTINA
Regret Expressed Over With
drawal, but No Effort Made
to Meet Demands.
/—n
GENEVA, Dec. 6.—Honorlo Pueyr
redon. foreign minister of Argentina
and head of the Argentina delega
tion, gave the following statement
to the representatives of the French
press today:
“Under Article 26 of the covenant
the withdrawal of the Argentine dele
gation from the assembly is equiva
lent to aemng notice that Argentina
la withdrawing from the League of
Nations."
“The Argentine delegation was ab
sent from noth the assembly meeting
and the meeting of the general com
mute of the assembly.
J
GENEVA. Dec. 6.—The assembly of the
League of Nations today turned a cold
shoulder to Argentina and made no out
ward efforts to retain the South Amer
ican republic In the League of Nations.
A note was addressed to the Argentine
delegation In behalf of the assembly by
President Paul Hymans expressing re
gret over Argentina's departure, but the
assembly failed to make any attempt to
meet Argentina’s demands. Honorlo
Pneyrredon. head of the Argentine dele
gation explained that Argentina was
withdrawing from the league under
Article 26 of the covenant. The big de
velopments of the day were:
1. Argentina's proposal for Immediate
admission of all recognized nations re
ferred to a committee which will not re
port until 1921.
2. The Canadian amendment eliminat
ing Article 10 from the covenant referred
to a committee which will report next
year.
3. Assembly adopted a committee re
port making the council the supremo
power in the league.
VIVIAN 1 DECLINES
TO MAKE REPLY.
The Argentine delegation was absent
both from the assembly meeting and the
meeting of the general committee of the
assembly. Former Premier Vivian! was
Invited to draw up a reply to the Argen
tine note opposing Argentina's demands
but he refused, evidently on instructions
from Paris. This indicated that the
French government took the view that
the United States supports the attitud®
of Argentina and France does not want
to oppose the American viewpoint.
Dr. Pueyrredon, Argentine foreign min
ister. said he had revolved a message oi
congratulation from the American In
dustrial company of Chicago.
Before the assembly session opened
Dr. Pueyrredon made the following
statement:
“The Argentine delegation will not at
tend today's sessiou. We consider that
we have finished and are ready to de
part for Paris. The people of Argentina
will support our decision to withdraw
from further participation In the affairs
of the League of Nations"
Argentina's note had been delivered on
Sunday after Dr. Pueyrredon on Satur
day had consented to hold it up for a
short time.
Immediately after the reading of Ar
gontlna'a note. President Hymans
brought up the motion which the Ar
gentine delegation had introduced be
fore its withdrawal last week, providing
for the Immediate admission of all rec
ognized states to the League of Nations
It was referred to a committee which will
not report until next year. President
Hymans declared this action taken with
out putting it to a vote.
BEEEK CANADIAN
AMENDMENT ACTION.
The general committee of the assembly
recommended that the Canadian ameud
ment eliminating Article 10 from the
League of Nations covenant be referreu
to a committee reporting in 1921. This
amendment was Introduced on Saturday
by C. J. Doherty, Canadian minister of
Justice.
The action to defer consideration of
the Canadian amendment killing Article
10 was unanimous.
Following a hectic week-end of con
ferences over the critical situation
created by the defection of Argentina,
the general committee of the Assembly
held a long meeting this morning before
the plenary session of the Assembly
opened to discuss the manner in which
to present Argentina's note to the dele
gates of the forty other nations.
It was understood that former Premier
draw up an answer to Argentina's rep
resentations, hut there was considerable
doubt as to whether he would accept.
M. Vlviaui is angry over developments
Misting to Armenia and was not in a
very conciliatory mood when the As
sembly met. The French statesman
wrath was aroused by the fact that
Premier Leygues of France had Joined
BrltaiD In a note to the league oppos
ing the Immediate entrance Into the
league of Armenia. He had been sup
porting the immediate entrance of Ar
menia In the belief that it represented
the attitude of his government.
It was learned that M. Vivjani tele
graphed Paris demanding that in the
fnture he be thoroughly informed of the
French government's policy so he could
act accordingly. M. Vivlani was so in
censed over the repudiation by the
French foreign office of his efforts in
behalf of Armenia's admission in to the
league that he even threatened to re
sign from the French delegation.
Despite the firmness of the Argentine
note delegates expressed the opinion that
Dr. Pueyrredon was ‘'bluffing.” They
pointed out that he had engaged a res
ervation of a train for Paris tonight,
but later cancelled it.
A delegate oi one leading power told
the correspondents that “not a single
delegate favors Inviting Argentina to re-
the fold.”
Lord Robert Cecil, representative of
South Africa, warned the delegates that
there mutt be no secret diplomacy in
handling the Argentina situation.
“Argentina’s action shows the necessity
for free discussions and full publicity in
all matters,” said Lord Robert Cecil. “1
had hoped that Argentina's proposals
would be discussed. Had the Argentine
delegation remained they would have
been discussed. I think a large part of
the delegates to the assembly have sym
pathy for the Argentines, but if every
delegation took the same line as Argen
tina the league could not long exist. Tbe
Scandinavians showed a much truer spirit
when their resolutions pertaining to
amendments were not considered.”
Lord Robert Cecil said that “the as
sembly waa unshaken by the action of
Argentina.

HARDING BIDS
SENATE GOODBY
(Continued From rage One.)
been zealous of them as a member,
but I mean at tbe same time to be
Just as insistent about the responsi
bilities of the executive- Our Gov
ernmental good fortune does not lie
In any surrender at the other end
of the avenue, but In the coordina
tion and cooperation which becomes
the two branches in a great and truly
responsible Republican Government.
This brings me to the thought In my
mind. Something has been said about
the senatorial oligarchy. Os course,
every one here knows that to be a
bit of highly imaginative, and harm
less fiction. But I do recognize how
essential Is the helpfulness of the
Senate In the making of a successful
administration. I want to express to
day the wish of a colleague for the
confidence and the cooperation of
the members of tbls body In the four
years which begin next March 4. I
do not limit this sincere request to
this side of the aisle. One can not
promise agreement In all things with
an opposite party which Is sometimes
insistently wrong, but we may find
common ground In the spirit of serv
ice and I hope for that agreeable
and courteous and oft-times helpful
relationship with the opposite side
which has added to the delights of
fellow service during the last six
years.
We are facing no easy task. We
have our full part In the readjust
ment of human affairs, after the
world tumult. We have our tasks at
home; we have our part In the in
evitable work of the civilized world.
I am sure that the necessity of wise
solution will inspire us to work to
’ gether, to take common counsel, to
be tolerant of one another and give
the best which is In all of us to at
tain the ends which become our re
public at home and will maintain Its
high place among the nations of the
earth.
With propriety I cannot venture
upon any suggestions now even
though lam speaking as a member of j
this body. Thiee months of the pres
ent administration remain and I
would have House and Senate Join
cordially in making them fruitful
rather than wasted months. There Is
so much to be done and we have
already had so much of delay that I
should like unanimous recognition
tht there are no party ends to serve,
but precious days are calling for
service to our common country.
I cannot resist the repetition of my
regret that my associations on this
floor and in committee rooms Is end- j
ing today. It has been & happy and j
proud experience. Let me express 1
the hope, to one and all, that, though •
there comes a change in official re
lationship, It will not Interrupt our |
cooperations, nor deprive us of the
peVsonul fellowship which I have
found to be a great compensation for 1
the sacrifices of conscientious public
service.

Take Man Wanted
in Juvenile Court
After a chase extending over a good
part of th- State, Charles Farmer, who
has been wanted by the Juvenile Court
of this city, was placed in the Marion
County Jail late yesterday. Some time
ago Farmer was fined SSOO and sentenced
to 180 clays on the Indiana Stale Farm
by Judge Frank Lahr of Juvenile Court
on a charge of child neglect. The Judg
ment was suspended on his promise to
provide for Ms wife and four children,
but instead, the authorities charge, Far

Lieut. John Corrigan made numerous
trips to Spencer, Bloomington and other

street and after questioning her about
his wife, said: ,
“You are going to pick up a paper
some day and see a sensation. She will
either get me or I will get her.”
She testified she advised Meyers to go
home nud care for his wife and children
and that he said, “To hell with them.”
Mrs. Kinnard testified to Mrs. Meyers'
fears of her husband and how Mrs. Mey
ers had given liberally to charity. She
| said Mrs. Meyers had often declared if
j he “was a sane man I would meet him
| half way. but he Is Insane and I can't.”
The tstimony of Mr. Hornaday was un
usual. He told of his close rlations with
Meyers and of having been shopping with
i him Saturday afternoon. He said he had
never seen him act in a way that he
would consider Insane.
"I never saw him under the Influence
of liquor,” the attorney testified.
“I have noted in the papers since the
murder some talk of Mr. Meyera and
Spiritullsm. I will tell you what I know
of that. He was much Interested and
studied a scientific book, 'The Mystic
Will.’ I have read the book and there
is in it much that has to do with Splrit
ulism.
ATTORNEY SPEAKS OF
WIDOW’S "INFLUENCE.”
“Mr. Meyers admitted to me seven
months ago that Mrs. Meyers had an
influence over him that he could not
get away from. He told of an arrange
ment that he had to watch her while
In the dark room at their studio. He
told me that he looked into that dark
room and saw a inan named Johnaon
hugging an and loving her. He tried to
get her to discharge this man. She re
fused and from that time on she shunned
Mr. Meyers, she kept Johnson work
ing there. Then Mr. Meyers's health be
came poor and he went to a physician.
He was unsuccessful in recovering his
health and getting control of himself.
Then he went to Florida.
“When he returned he told me it was
one thing for people to tell him to quit
worrying about her and another thing
for him to do It. It was at this time
Meyers first read ‘The Mystic Will.’ The
first reading of that book, he said, did
not mean anything to him, but on re
reading it, it taught him to be strong
and resolute and to sleep over bis
troubles and gain strength and will
power.”
“It wus at that time,” Hornady testi
fied, “that he declared himself absolutely
free from Mrs. Meyers’ control and that
he did not worry about her at all. Then
she began to worry about him. She put
a detective on his trail to learn who as
sociated with him.
LIVED AT WOMAN'S
HOME WHEN YOUNG.
“When Mr. Meyers came to Indian
apolis he was 17 years old. He had a
friend who permitted him to sleep in her
kitchen and who boarded him for $1 a
week. She wai like a mother to him.
She was sick and lying on the bed in her
home on North Alabama street when
one night at 11 o'clock the door bell rang.
Mr. Meyers was sitting by her side read
ing to her and she told him to answer
the bell. But before he could do it the
morals squad rushed into the house and
he was taken to another room and ques
tioned The sergeant threatened him
with urrest. He told the policeman to
make the arrest, but no arrest was made.
There were no immoral relations be
tween Meyers and this woman."
The attorney testified to Mrs. Mayers
being in the company of Mr. Johnson on
the front porch of her home Thanksgiv
ing day. He was questioned about a
number of conversations he was reputed
to have ban in regard to Mayers' sanltay
or temper.
Clawson asked Hornady about Meyers
having built a small dog house, filled It
with chloroform and getting down on bis
knees, tried aulclde by breathing the
fumes. He asked him about Meyers
buying seventy boxes of cracker Jack at
a time and eating five and six boxes
each day. He asked him about Meyers
chasing bugs and worms at night with
a flash light and putting the Insects In a
box with a number of crickets and then
cursing the crickets the next morning
for eating the bugs. He asked him about
buying $42 worth of wood screws at one
time and demanded lo know If he
thought the man insane. Hornady did
not answer the question directly.
SAID THEY FOUGHT
OVER SUM OF S3O
Hornady said In the proposed settle
ment between Mr. nnd Mrs. Meyere he
was to have paid her $3,500. Ho said
they quarreled over SSO. This settlement
did not include the furniture. The house
owned and occupied by Meyers and his
wife was held under a Joint Mile. He
testified to a number of fights between
the couple. Including one In which he
siild Mrs. Meyers bit her husband on the
breast and Clawson exclaimed "Yes. aft
er he choked her."
Dr. David F. Lee, 2253 Central avenue,
said he had known Meyers since 1893,
and the present Mrs. Meyers since 1910.
“Meyers was an abnormal man," the
physician testified. “He was a genius
from the time of his boyhood."
Then he told of many Investigations
made by Meyers. He said Meyers hid a
mania for purchasing things for which he
had no use. The physician testified of a
fake suicide e which Meyers staged a
year ago nnd of bis visit to tbe house
at that time. He said Meyers thought he
hod left the house snd lie heard him say,
‘IP get her yet. damn her.”

slcian testified, “and said, ‘Oh, God, doc
tor, I love that woman. I love her bet
ter than anything in my life. I would
give anything in the world If she were
affectionate to me.’ Then he told a long
story about bis wife and two days later
appeared at my office crying and de
clared that story was a lie.
TOLD NURSE TO
WATCH ACTIONS.
“At one time, when Meyers was at the
i Methodist Hospital a nurse told me how
nice, he was and I suggested to her that
she observe his actions. Tho next day
the nurse described him at ’nasty nice’
to her, but said that after she had left
him in his room with Mrs. Meyers she
heard him abusing his wife.
“I believed ha was crazy, but I did
not tell Mrs. Meyers that I feared he
would kill her because of his great love
for her.”
The physician told some of the fam
ily history and of having seen Meyers
| strike his youngest son and knock him
six feet when in one of his "spells.” He
j described the present Mrs. Meyers' love
' for the two boys as "abnormal for a
| woman to love another woman's children
as she loved those boys, giving them the
| most extreme care.”
I "I shot him to protect my own life,
j He was crazy,” said Mrs. Meyers, as
j she told of the fatal shooting of her
husband.
Mrs. Meyer*, from her ceil in the
police stntlon, related a story of cruel
treatment which led to the filing of a
divorce action and told of the "other
woman,” whose name she refused to
bring in to the case, but to whom, she
said, her husband had given a beautiful
hammered brass lamp, which he had
made, and other gifts.
At the home of this woman, who,
operatives of a private detective agency
say, is Era Hubner, 437 North Alabama
street, members of former Sergt. George
Wluklers’ morals squad say they re
cently found Meyers reading from a book
styled “New Thought.”
The operatives of the detective agency
followed Meyers to the Hubner woman's
house, and then telephoned the morals
squad, causing the raid.
When the squad entered they found
the Hubner wbman lying on tho bed,
fully dressed, it is said. Meyers was sit
ting in a chair with his Eat, collar and
coat off.
He was reading aloud from the book.
No arrests were made, but It is said
Meyers became enraged at the visit of
the police and threatened to kill all the
morals squad and private detectives.
A few days later Meyers, who claimed
to be a "Divine Healer." appeared at his
home with n large glass crystal, Mrs.
Meyers said.
ASKS WIFE TO GAZE
INTO CRYSTAL BALL.
“Look,” he told her. "What do yon
see?”
"Nothing but a piece of glass," was her
answer.
"That Is because your mind is not in
the right condition. I ccn see everything
In the crystal."
"I can see thst all who oppose me
will die," declared Meyers, she said.
That and many other similar state
ments, friends of Mrs Meyers say, In
dented Meyers was of unsound mind,
the woman asserted.
Time and again during almost ten
year* of married life Meyers struck his
wife, it is sold.
On Oct. 18, Mr. Clawson, acting as
attorney for Mrs. Meyers, filed a divorce
petition in Circuit Court against Meyers,
charging him with cruel and inhuman
treatment and with adultery. The name
of the "other woman" appears In this
complaint.
Meyers' attorney telephoned Mrs.
Meyer* at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon
Informing her that his client had a right
to visit his home at which place he
and hi* wife conducted a photograph
gallery.
VISIT PROVED
FATAL TO MAN.
It was during tho visit that followed'
this conversation with Meyer's attorney
that Meyers was shot early Saturday
nlgbt.
Meyers was the father of two children
by a former wife The hoys are Byron,
14 and Arthur, 12. When Meyers ap
peared at the residence his wife knew
that trouble might result, she told the
police.
She sent the children to the kitchen,
where Mrs. Clara Creech, housekeeper,
was preparing the evening meal.
"We were on the second floor of the
house where our photograph gallery !•
situated," said Mr*. Meyers today. “He
demanded that I withdraw my charge of
adultery in the divorce proceedings and
I refused.
"Then he said, ‘I will wring your
heart. I will take the children from yon.’
When I again refused to withdraw the
charges and comply with his demand* —
he receive the Income from the photo
graph business for December—he grabbed
a chair and started fori me."
“DON'T KNOW WHERE
1 GOT THE GUN.”
”1 don'f know whore I got the gun.
It may have been In my pocket or in
the dresser drawer. I fired one shot.
I think It missed him and then I ran.
“lie followed me and I fired again.
I know thst two shots were all that 1
ever fired. He was crazy and would
have killed me. I fired In self-defense.
Now my only thought Is of the chil

funeral held at the undertaking establish
ment.”
“Did your husband drink heavily?”
she was asked.
“Only now and then, and, oh, when
he did he was brutal. One time about a
year ago he crabbed me when he was
drinking and forced me back against the
stair railing and the two boys and two
of their little boy chums caught hold
of his arm but he was wild with liquor
and was so strong that they could not
pull his arm from me. How I escaped
from him then I really don't know but
; for day* my back wus black and blue
i from the bruise where he forced me
against that railing.
“My husband knew that woman before
we were married. He made her a beau
tiful hammered brass lamp. He gave It
to her and then he would call her over
the telephone and make fun of me. I
stood it for the sake of the children. One
day after he returned from Florida 1
found a letter on his desk that was open.
I read the letter and It was from a
voung woman in the East telling him
that he would be welcome on his expected
visit In September. When I asked him
about the letter he Sew Into a terrible
rage and threatened my life.
“I worked from early morning to late
night in the shop, developing pictures
to help earn money to keep up expenses
while he was in Florida. In those few
months in Florida he spent $1,400.”
“It was during his visit to Florida
that he became a devotee of Spiritualism.
He thought himself a ‘divine healer.’
He would take books on the subject of
Spiritualism and the crystal and go to
that woman's house where he spent his
money.”
“I told the detectives that I did not
wish him arrested, but that I did want
him watched and that the woman was
taking advantage of him during the time
when his mind was affected. My husband
was crazy.
“Everything he did and every action
was governed by his consultation with
his 'controls' with the spiritualist with
whom he spent much time.”
Operatives of the private detective
agency today said Meyers would visit a
grocery and carry enough foodstuffs to
the home of the Hubner woman to last
a week.
* Ail day Sunday neighbors of Mrs.
Meyers visited her at the cellroom in
police headquarters. Matrons say that
at least 100 visitors called to see her and
expressed sympathy and declared that it
she had not killed him Meyers would
hove killed her. They expressed surprise
that be had not killed her on tho numer
ous occasions ho is said to have attacked
her.
The boys are being cared for nt tho
home of Policewoman 11. F. Hllderbrand,
1824 North Alabama street.
Mrs. Meyers, after the shooting, went
to the kitchen.
“Clara," she told Mrs. Creech, “I hare
shot him, I have shot Fred."
George 8. Lewis, 1819 North Alabama
street, was one of the first to reach th
scene of the shooting, and he said Mey
ers was dead when he reached him.

discounted through the Federal Reserve
bank, as seems necessary to relieve the
distressing financial situation in agri
cultural America.
In his address of welcome. Governor
Goodrich touched upon the organization i
of the federation. "For your own good !
and the good of the whole country,” he !
said, “it is well that you are extending !
your organization so that finally it will
embrace all of the farmers of America,
those who produce wealth from tbe soil,
the only real producers of wealth in the
world. Every other class deals with
wealth that has been stored up by the
Creator in ages past or with the wealth
that you produce and by applying labor
to It add to its value.”
He said that he was glad to welcome
the members of the federation to In
diana because It Is one of the two States
100 per *ut organized.
In touching upon the matter of prices i
he said that “the farmer is subject to the
same law of supply and demand, as all i
other kinds of business, Rnd tbe price of i
farm produets was bound to shrink now i
Just as other prices are shrinking. We
can, however, by legislation and organl- 1
ration, do much to relieve the situation.
“N'o people in the world ought to be |
kept out of tho American m'arkets If
their condition is financially sound and '■
they have the ability to pay in the end,
because of lack of credit, and the in
ability of our country to finance their
needs.”
After touching upon the interest of the
farmer in the development of waterways,
Governor Goodrich spoke of some other
legitimate ways in which their Interests
can be advanced.
“Regulation of warehouses so that the
farmer may deposit his produce in a
licensed warehouse and receive a ware
house certificate immediately available as
collateral for loans, would be great bene
fit to the farmers of America," he said.
"The regulation of the stockyards so
that the farmers may be assured of any
particular class Is a subject of first Im
portance. I do not mean by this that
there is any necessarily conflicting In
terest between the great packing indus
tries of the country and the farmers. I
would not condemn the packers merely
on account of their size.
“if any organization can. by extending
the scope of Its operation and widening
the variety of the products with which
It* deals shorten the distance between
producer and consumer and demonstrate
that It can manufacture and distribute
the products of soil cheaper thun the
Segregated units then It Is sound and
ought to be encouraged rather than dis
couraged.
In a short address, following that of
the Governor, John G. Brown, president
of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation,
also welcomed tbe members of the fed
eration, and referred to the convention
as the greatest gathering of farmers ever
assembled In the world.
He said that the slogan of the feder
ation was “A Square Deal for All,” and
then touched upon some of the pur
poses of the organization.
He said that working singly would
never accomplish what concerted effort
would do toward putting agriculture on i
the basis It should be.
Frank W. Murphy of Minnesota, In re
sponding to the addresses of welcome,
spoke of things the federation hopes to
accomplish, and mentioned that among
these the organization wished to obtain
for the farmers the same consideration
Industry has received lu the development
of the country.
The American farmer, he said, does
not ask for anything for himself that
he does not concede to every man and
woman in every walk of life; but doea
demand that ho receive his due considera
tion.
J. It Howard, president of the Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation, spokzt
briefly on some of the things that the
federation hopes and expects to accom
plish.

I Here’s an easy way to save $2, and
yet have the best cough remedy |
you ever tried.
You’vo probably heard of YA

But have you evpr used it! \\\
Thousands of families feel that \\\
tliev could hardly keep houso \\\
without it. It’s simple and \
cheap, but the way it takes hold \
of a cough will soon earn it a
permanent place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 2 y a I
ounces of Pinex; then add plain
granulated sugar syrup to fill up
the pint. Or, use clarified molas
ses, honey, or corn syrup, instead |
of 6ugar syrup. It tastes good, j
never spoils, and gives you a full ;
pint of better cough remedy than
you could buy ready-made for
three times Its cost.
It is really wonderful how
quickly this home-made remedy
conquers a cough—usually in 24
hours or less. It seems to pene
trate through . every air passage,
loosens a dry, hoarse or tight
cough, lifts the phlegm, heals the
membranes, nnd gives almost im
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickte, hoarseness, croup, bron
chitis and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concen- J
trnted compound of Norway
pine extract, and has been
ued for generations for |j
throat and chest ailments. kb
