SEEKING TRAFFIC
RULES FOR CIRCLE
American Association of Engi
neers Adopts Resolutions.
Resolutions seeking better vehicular
traffic c ndit'ons on Monument Circle
have been adopted by the Indianapolis
chapter of the American Association of
Engineers.
After reciting causes for such action,
one of the resolutions continues: “Be
it resolved by the American Association
of Engineers, Ir.dlanapo'ls Chapter, that
the Committee of One Hundred and the
city planning commission, which will
doub’leßh result fruui -.he actions of this
committee shall be respectfully requested
to give serious consideration of the clos
ing of Monument Circle to all vehicular
traffic.”
The other resolution adopted, after
touching on the deaths and serious acci
dents on Monument Circle, and stating
that “the traffic conditions of Monument
Circle have come to such a state that
some immediate steps should be taken
for Its proper control, asks that the city
council anu the board of public safety
Investigate conditions on the Circle and
put into effect such ordinances and reg
ulations as shall be necessary to guar
antee safety.
The resolution contains these sugges
tions :
All vehicles shall be required to
go around the Circle to the right;
no left hound traffic being allowed
whatsoever.
Islands of safety shall be erected
at the intersections of Monument
Circle and Market and Meridian
streets. These islands of safety shall
be properly lighted with ornamental
red lights, together with suitable
signs warning in-bound vehicular
traffic to go to the right.
The zone for parking of automo
biles on Market and Meridian streets
shall be shortened and space of at
least forty feet along the curb to
be left clear on each fide of the
street back from the intersection of
Monument Circle and these streets.
This in order to maintain a clear
view of all approaching vehicles for
pedestrian traffic.
A resolution was adopted setting forth
that the Interstate Commerce Commission
will best serve the public Interest if it
includes in its membership at least one
experienced civil engineer, and providing
that a copy of the resolution be serf
to Benator Warren G. Harding with a
request that he make such appointment
at the first opportunity.

to stop them one covered him with a re

The robbery appeared to be the work
of professionals.
They carefully timed their visit, for Ed
Miller let the Janitor out of the store
at 7:15 o’clock and locted the store, and
thirty minutes later the robbery was
discovered. While the safe is not what
Is called “burglar proof’ it would re
quire an expert to open It in such a
short time with only a punch and a
sledge hammer as tools.
The safe is about seven feet in heigh;

would require an expert knowledge of
the safe. The sledge hammer, anew one,
was found near the safe.
IXSCBAXCK WILL
COVER LOSS.
Mr. Green stated that while it was im
possible to tell what the value of the
missing jewelry was until the invoice is
completed, the articles stolen from the
twenty-four trays included about sixty
watches, a large number of gold chains
and lockets set with diamonds, and
diamond rings. He said the loss was cov
ered by insurance and that the safe had
psssed the Inspection of the insurance
inspectors.
It was evident that the burglars were
interrupted by the unexpected v'slt of
the two men. who had gone to the store
to work. Some Jewelry was left un
touched on the shelves of the safe, and
a number of small drawers in the top of
the interior of the safe were not molested.
A clerk reaching the store this morn
ing hurried to the safe opened a drawer
and lifted out a watch and exclaimed:
“Thank goodness it was not taken, for
it had been left here for safe keeping.”
George Scherper, a merchant police
officer, parsing through the alley in the
rear of the Jaggers store a! 5 o’clock
this morning discovered a door open and
notified the police.
An investigation showed that bur
glars had entered through a rear cellar
window, had b.oken open two doors on
the Inside of the store and had carried
away 20.0(H) cigarettes, valued at SBOO,
other tobacco worth S4OO and anew au
tomobile tire valued at $42.
The thieves had left by way of the rear

GOV. COOLIDGE
IN CONFERENCE
WITH HARDING
(Continued From Page One.)
called frequently to Senator Fall's rec
olleetion some important declaration he
hud made at their conference. Senator
Harding alluded to his guest by his
first name and gave every evidence ol
having been deeply impressed by too
views expressed by his old friend.
Senator Fall's declaration that unless
cattle-raisers were aided to discount their
obligations over half of them would be
wiped out within ninety days, was takeu
to indicate that immediate measures had
been discussed. Senator Fall emphasized
his statement by declaring that if this
situation were not met satisfactorily
now America would he huvtng insteau
of raising her food within ten years.
He advocated that the Federal Reserve
Board issue orders admitting to redis
count loans to cattle-raisers and farm
ers or that sufficient sums be provided
local bankers to enable them to mept day
to day requirements without eall'ng
farm and ranch loans.
Deep resentment over the actions of
the allies toward Greece during the war
caused the defeat of Premier Venizelos
and the recall of King Const.ntine, ac
cording to George Fred Williams of
Boston, who came here to confer with
Senator Harding on international affairs.
In discussing the result of the Greek elec
tions today Mr. Williams, who formerly
was American minister at Athens, de
clared that Venizelos was 8 dictator,
supported only by a small majority, and
that he never had possessed the confi
dence of affection of the bulk of tbs
Greek people.
"There will be big trouble for a long
time In the Levant,” Mr. Williams con
tinued, “unless Great Britain and France
cease to mix in Greek affairs. Con
stantine has a hold on the people and the
vote recalling him was a reflection of the
injustice done Greece by the occupation
of Saloniki and the Dardanelles.”

National Capitol to Receive Slab Immortalizing Pioneer Suffragists
SCULPTOR SAYS
STATUE ALMOST
READY TO SHIP
Expected, at Washington in
Time for Women’s Party
Convention.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The National
Capitol is soon to hove anew statue
added to its collection of immortals.
This*statue' will be unlike anything else
in the capitol In that it will consist of
three heads cut out of the top of one
block of marble, leaving the lower part
of the block for a pedestal. It is further
unusual because the three heads are of
women. There is now only one statue
in the Capitol to the memory of a woman,
and that is the marble figure of Frances
Willard, given by the State of Illinois
to Statuary Hall in 1905.
The new gift to the Capitol is a mem
orial to Susan B. Anthony, Lucvetia Mott
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, three women
who first sponsored the then forlorn
cause of women's rights. The idea of
immortalizing these women in marble
was really conceived long ago, when it
was planned to display busts of them
at the world's fair. Adelaide Johnson,
the sculptor, modeled busts of Susan
Anthony' and Elizabeth Stanton from life,
but the time for a memorial seemed not
quite ripe then, with the feminists' aims
unachieved. Now, when the work to
which the pioneers gave their lives is
completed, a memorial has greater sig
niflcance, and Miss Johnson has resumed
work on the combination statue on a
larger scale than was first planned.
The nations! Woman's party is raising
•S'O.OOO to pay for the materials, work
manship and transportation of the stone
The material is an eight ton block of
Italian marble, chosen by the sculptor
at Seravezxa. A photograph sent from
her studio at Carrara, Italy, shows the
statue in process of completion. The
three heads stand out above the huge
base of the slab. They are arranged in
a triangle, all facing one way.
The sculptor has promised that the
work will be finished and sent to Wash
ington in time for the opening of the
Woman's party convention, Feb. 15. As
that day is the 101st anniversary of
Susan Anthony’s birthday, the women
are anxious to unveil the statue in its
place In the rotunda of the Capitol then.
CAPITOL RED TAPE
CAUSE OF DELAY.
Much red tape is necessary in Capitol
iffalrs, even to make a present The
l'brary committee in the Senate is in
ctarge of matters of art in the building,
and Senator lirandegee of Connecticut,
chairman of this committee, has long
been known as a fiery opponent of suf
frage for women. During tho crisis in
the Connecticut Legislature this sum
mer. however, he saw that the suffrage
amendment was inevitable, if not by
Connecticut, then by some other State
He therefore came out with a letter urg
ing Connecticut to ratify the amend
ment. and since then Senator Brandegee
has so far become reconciled to women
lu national affairs, that he agreed to use
Ids influence to have his committee re
port favorably on the matter of placing
the memorial in the rotunda at the next
session of Congress. With this support,
there is small chance of Congress refus
ing the gift.
The rotunda where the statue is to be
placed is the great hall below the dome
of the Capitol. The hall contains eight
large paintings Bhowing important scenes
in the history of America. Above these
runs the celebrated frieze which was
begun by Brnmidl, the Italiun artist, and
whl -b for years has lacked only n few
feet of completion. The painting, done In
gray, black and white, to simulate bas
relief, seems to a series of Indians,
settlers and soldiers following one an
other around the walls, or occasionally
ASSESSORS WILL
ADJOURN TODAY
Tax Law Opposition Laid to
Public Ignorance.
Reports of legislative and other com
mittees were to be received at this aft
ernoon's session at the annual confer
ence of county assessors with the mem
bers of the State Board of Tax Commis
sioners. The conference at the Statehouse
was to close today.
Defense of the present tax law and
explanation of the various phases of the
statute was offered by Philip Zoercher,
member of the tax board, in his address
Mr. Zoercher contended that all opposi
tion to the tax law has Its Inception in
the ignorance of the law on the part of
the public.
John G. Brown, npw member of the
board, was the presiding officer at to
day's meeting. Mr. lirown was placed In
charge of the meeting by Fred A. Sims,
chairman of the State hoard, in order
that he might become better acquainted
with the assessors.
It was expected the legislative commit
tee would recommend several important
measures for presentation to the General
Assembly, relative to the tax law arid
to the work and compensation of county
assessors.
In his talk to the assessors. Governor
Goodrich denounced home rule and do
< iare.d that the adoption of the proposed
constitutional amendment providing for
a State tax on incomes and the classifi
cation of property would be found neces
sary.
Governor Goodrich expressed great
pleasure at the thought of retiring from
office Jan. 10.
A resolution was passed at the Wednes
day session calling for the mailing of a
circular letter to each citizen of the
State to explain the system of taxation
and to dispell the opposition which tie
assessors say is prevalent about tne
State to tlie present tax laws.
Missing Balloon and
Crew Believed Safe
NEW YORK, Dec. 16. Still confident
that no accident had occurred to the
spherical naval balloon which set out
Monday for a test trip to Canada, officers
at the naval air station at Rockawny
Point, L. I-. today said they were with
out any word regarding the flight. The
balloon carried Lieut. Walter Hinton, an
officer of the NC-4 on its trails-Atlantic
flight, and Lieuts. Stephen A. Farrell and
A. L. Ivloor.
Officers at the air station declined to
speculate as to why the lieutenants had
not reported on where the balloon
might be.
The crew carried provisions sufficient
to last for several days.

and technique of the Brumldt work.
Scaffolding is still suspended by the
frieze where an artist recently tried out
his skill.
The rotunda is unfurnished, except
for a few chairs for the use of blue
coated guards, and a half-dozen statues
near the wails. This collection of statues
now consists of L fayette, Lincoln. Grant,
Hamilton and Baker in marble; Jeffer
son in bronze, and a piaster cast of
Washington from the famous statue by
lioudon. There is also a bust of Wash
ington in bronze, and a great head of
Lincoln rising out of a marble block,
by Gutzon Horglum.
MAN ABOUT W HOM LITTLE
IS KNOWN HAS STATUE.
Next to the massive Lincoln head, the
statue labeled "Baker” attracts the most
attention, because few people can place
him in history. ills clothes are of a
cut which suggests the time after the
revolution and because he is reproduced
life size Instead of heroic, he looks short
and chunky. Even down in the office
of the superintendent of the Capitol it
required some racking of brains and
consultation of encyclopedias to drag
forth the facts that Col. 11. D Dakar
was a noted warrior in the Mexican War,
a Senator from Oregon and finally died
leading a desperate charge early in the
Civil War at Ball's Bluff.
After all, Baker was a man of dig
tlnction. but placed by Washington Jes

To the women who have been fighting
for suffrage they are household nam -s.
Susan B. Anthony, in particular, has
always been a name to conjure with in
feminist circles.

SUSAN* I. ANTHONY'.
Susan !J. was brought up by a (junker
father to the belief that both men and
women should be economically Independ

yer -s and from then on, whether teach
ing or lecturing and campaigning for
suffrage, *he was a worktug woman to
her death at S6 years.

KEY TO ARMENIA
HELD BY SOVIETS
Part America Is Expected to
Play Kept in Dark,
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—The avenue
of "approach to the proposed Armenian
mediation” apparently was still hidden
from American officials today President
Wilson has accepted the League of .Na
tions invitation to mediate between Ar
menians and the Turkish Nationalists.
He has appointed Henry Morgenthau,
former ambassador to Turkey, ns ills rep
resentative lu the mediation.
The Russian soviets, who are unrecog
nized by the United States, hold the key
to Armenia.
Since the League of Nations sent its
proposal of mediation ro President Wil
son, Armenia, guided largely by expedi
ency, it Is believed viere, has acepted
Bolshevist control. With the Turks
pressing them from the West arid the
Bolshevists pouring into the Near Fast,
through the Gallons mountains on the
north, the Armenians "went Bolshevist'
as the lesser of two evils.
Recent advices Indicate that a form of
coalition government has been formed in
Armenia of soviet leaders and Armenian
nationalist.
Morgenthau, according to the belief
here, either must move as though he
were "saving” the Armenians from Bol
shevism, or attempt to save the problem
by working through Russia, which
would solve some hint of cooperation
with the soviet lenders.
As one measure of facilitating the
Monganthau mission, President Wilson
favors advancing a loan to Armenia, as
indicated in his recent message to Con
gress. This loan, If granted, would be
in the neighborhood of $25,000,000, ac
cording to the suggestion in official
quarters here.

REDUCTION.
“Manifestly, if we are to continue to
pay off our war debt at the rate of more
than a billion and a half a year. In ad
dition to approximately $1,250,000,000 for
interest and sinking fund charges, we
must maintain a high rate of taxation.
But I am of the opinion that by the end
•>f this fiscal year we shall have, reached
a point in the reduction of our war debt
from which the further reduction, ex
empt through the sinking fund operations
and returns from salvage should not
continue to Impose wartime burdens.
"We reached the peak of our gross war
debt ou Aug. SI, 1919, when it amounted
to $26 596 000.000, of which about
S4,OOO.(XX).<XX> was in short-time loan and
tax certificates If redactions are ac
complished the public debt at the close
of the fiscal year June 30 next will
amount to about $23,500 OCX),000, of which
about $1,600,000,000 will be represented
by tax and loan certificates. The fact
that we still have a floating debt that
should have been eonved:ed into Liberty
notes will not present a situation war
ranting the maintenance of the war level
of tax burdens with a view of its Im
mediate extinction."
Mondell urged Congress to hold all ap
proprietions to a total not exceeding
$3,250,000,000. The greatest cutting of
estimates, he said, must be Tor the Army,
Navy and sundry civil appropriations.
The administration Is asking Congress
f <r $1.414,167,768 for the Army, Navy and
fortifications Appropriations Inst year
for these services were $845,000,000, and
be suggests that this total should be re
duced this next year.

SAW MILLS CO.
MEET
Three Mentioned for Place as
Trustee.
Fifty creditors of the Indiana Saw' \
Mills Company, which holds timber;
lands in southern States and formerly j
had an office in the K. of P. building, j
were before H. C. Sheridan, Federal ref- !
eree in bankruptcy, at the Federal build- '
ing today, attempting to choose a trus !
tee to administer af airs of the company, {
which owes more than .$60,000, It is al- j
leged.
Three candidates were placed in the 1
field. They were Fred A. Sitns, chairman !
of the State Board of Tax Commission- j
ers; Leo Smith local attorney, and!
George B. Young, former mnn-ger of the j
company. When the name of Mr. Young;
was proposed, attorneys for one section j
of the creditors objected for the reason I
that he was a stockholder in the com
pany and Referee Sheridan ruled in la- j
vor of the objectors, over Mr. Young's !
vigorous protest that he was msrely a •
“tacit” stockholder ind that the stock tie ;
held as given to -him only as remunero- i
tion for his services.
When the creditors who had intended
to vote for Mr. Young, asked leave for'
time to decide upon another candidate,
and other creditors assented, the refe"ee
postponed the election for a week Mr.
Young proposed the name of Eben H. ;
Wolcott, president of the State Savings
and Trust Company, as a candidate in i
his own stead.
Hot words passed betw-een Mr. Young
and Attorney Ralph Bamberger, who
presented the objection that the former
manager was ineligible for election.
WSTMAS SHOPPING
During the season of Christmas
shopping, great care should be

monia. The excitement of the

dangerous.

has been proven by over 65 years
success. It is a pure and whole
some food medicine —builds new
flesh and strength to fight off

tive effect drives out impurities.

All Run Down

Eatonic Ended
His Troubles
“Eatonic ia the only thing I havs
found to atop my heartburn and I
think it has been a great help in
nervous spells,” writesG.C. Johnson.
An upset stomach may cause lots
of suffering all over the body. Eatonio
helps in Buch cases by removing the
cause of the misery, because it takes
up and carries out the excess acid
and gases and keeps the digestive
organs in natural working order. A
tablet after meals is all yon need.
Big box costs only a trifle with
druggist’s guarantee.
Cured His RUPTURE
I was badly ruptured while lifting a
trunk several years ago. Doctors said
my only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally I got
bold of something that quickly and com
pletely cured me. Years have passed
and tne rupture has never returned, al
though I am doing hard work as a car-
Inter. There was no operation, no lost
tune, no trouble. I have nothing to sell,
but will give full information about how
you may find a complete cure without
operation, if you write to me, Eugsne
M. Pullen, Carpenter, 551 G, Marcellus
svejfue. Manasquan, N. J. Better cut
out this notice and show it. to any others
who are ruptured—you may save a life
or at least stop the misery of rupture
and the worry and danger of an opera
tion.—A and vertisement.
