PENNSY FAVORS
ELIMINATION OF
DANGER POINTS
Joins Highway Commission in
Modifying Grade Cross
ing Menace.
The board of directors of the Fenn
■vlvaaia railroad heartily faror co
operation with the Indiana highway com
mlaeion to eliminate dangerous grade
crossings occasioned where State high
ways cross their lines, T. C. Herbert, di
vision engineer for the railroad company,
■with headquarters at Terre Haute, has
informed Lawrence Lyons, department
director. Asa result of this recent action
of the board a dangerous crossing at
Glenn Home, two and a half miles east of
Terre naute, where the National road
crosses the Pennsylvania lines, will be
eliminated by building a Tiaduct over
the tracks, the State and the railroad
company to divide the cost of construc
tion.
The National road crosses the Penn
sylvania railroad eight times in Indiana
and following its policy to eliminate dan
gerous grade crossings in order to in
sure the maximum of safety in highway
travel, the commission has succeeded
through the splendid cooperation of this
directorate of eliminating the majority of
them.
Between Indianapolis and Richmond
two crossings have been eliminated and
a watchman Installed at a third. From
Indianapolis west to Terre Haute one
crossing has been eliminated by viaduct,
another is to be eliminated, one will re
main as it is, and two were removed
through relocation of the highway, Wil
liam J. Titus, chief engineer of bridges,
■ays. In view of the fact that many
railroads of the country are somewhat
embarrassed financially at this time, the
action of the Pennsylvania board is
rather remarkable and certainly indica
tive it recognizes the value of good State
highways designed to protect overlan 1
traffic, la the opinion of Mr. Titus.
By relocating the National road to
eliminate two grade crossings west of
Indianapolis, the new route is over the
oroginal Government survey, graded and
used for a number of years until about
IS7O, when it was abandoned after a big
wooden bridge was washed out. The re
location of this part of the highway will
make necessary the construction of anew
bridge across Walnut creek, but it avoids
a dangerous and steep bill at the ap
proach of the present bridge.
ARREST MADE OF
REPUTED SLACKER
Lyle Laub First to Be Taken
Here Under Charge.
The first of a series of arrests of al
leged “slackers” planned by military au
thorities and the Indianapolis detective
department took place today when Lyle
Laub, 27, 3752 North Meridian street, was
taken into custody and charged with be
ing a draft deserted. The arrest was
made by Detectives Fossatl and Stewart
and Lieut. H. I. Cassidy, chief of the
military police at Ft. Benjamin Harrison.
The city directory gives Laub's busi
ness as a mauager of a real estate firm.
According to Lieutenant Cassidy, Laub
failed to register for the draft on June
5, 1918 %
Laub has s police record, detectives
says. Records show that he served a
ninety-day sentence on the Indiana
State farm and paid-a $25 tine and costs
after being convicted of petit larceny in
1915. He was arrested In 1920 at the
request of Richmond authorities and
was charged with having been connected
with a reputed fraudulent realty deal
perpetrated in that city. He was taken
to ichmond and the Indianapolis police
have no record of the disposition of the
case.
TAXI FARES USE
GUN ON DRIVER
AND STEAL CAR
Three Youths Are Caught at
Vincennes With Auto in
Their Possession,
Special to The Times.
LINTON, IndL. July B.—William Fox.
taxi driver of this city, was employed by
three men late Thursday, to drive them
to Edwardsport near Vincennes. When
within a mile of that village, the men
ordered Fox to stop his machine. When
he refused, he was shot three times, bul
lets taking effect In his head, leg and
arm. The men then threw him out of
the machine and drove on.
Fox dragged himself to nearby farm
house and was afterward brought to his
home here, where his condition is con
sidered serious.
Word was sent officials at Vincennes to
be on the lookout for the three men. It
Is reported from that city that they are
tinder arrest there having been found in
possession of Fox's cab. They gave their
names as John Weingartner, 19, of El
Paso, Texas; Garland Walls, 18, Cleaton,
Ky.; Howard Gregory, 18, Centralia, Ky.
TAX TO PROTECT
AMERICAN FILM
Censorship Also Established
on German and Other For
eign Made Movies.
WASHINGTON, July 8. America's
high salaried movie stars and the lesser
lights of filmdom hare been placed under
the “protective wing" of the Republican
tariff bill now being considered in the
House.
As the result, the salaries of those
whose pictures appear on the American
screen will not have to be slashed to
enable American companies to compete
with a brisk low cost European competi
tion that has suddenly sprung up. The
tariff bill provides protection for the
American “movies” by requiring a tax
on all foreign films of 30 per cent ad
valorem.
Not only that, but the Europeans can
not expect to reap big profits by send
ing “daring" films to the United States,
as the bill makes the Secretary of the
Treasury a censor of all reels sent to
this country.
The tariff rate carried in the bill, it
was learned, is the result of the unex
pected success of a few German films
that recently have been displayed
throughout the country.
American ‘Duchess’
May Recover; Son Dies
PARIS. July 8. —Mme do Guise Hite,
the American “duchess" who drank poison
with her son, George Ilarbough, 24, in a
suicide pact, was believed today to have
a chance for recovery although she was
still in danger. Young Ilarbough died
shortly before midnight without recover
ing consciousness.
MOTHERS FIGHT MILK PRICES.
LONDON. July B.—The strike of wom
en in the Deal district against the pres
ent high price of milk is spreading.
Jlrs. James Kerr, leader of the strikers,
said the Housewives' Union was out to
bring the milk profiteers to reason and
to ccmtinue the agitation until they were
successful in reducing the present price.
Proposed Boston War Memorial
Exterior and Interior Views of Proposed Boston War Memorial.
Exterior and Interior Views of Proposed Boston War Memorial.
Boston's war memorial will be a build
ing of heroic proportions, according to
the plans d*signed by Frank Chouteau
Brown, the central feature of which will
be a memorial Pantheon, reproducing on
a small yet dignified scale the Roman
original—regarded by many as the most
impressive edifice of its kind in the
world. The Interior of the Pantheon
will be lighted by a single aperture in
the center of the dome, producing a very
beautiful effect.
On each side of this Pantheon will be
a large hall, one of which will be dedi
cated to the Army and the other to the
Navy. Connecting them and passing
through the Pantheon would be a cor
ridor of the allies. Opening off this cor
ridor will be a series of small balls, each
dedicated to a group of foreign-born
American residents of Boston. Each of
these halls might be used by Its group
as a meeting place, and for the exhibi
tions of the art and culture of the dif
ferent countries represented. The rooms
will be open to the public as an educa
tional attraction, and would also serve
as passages to and exits from the circu
latory corridor surrounding the main
auditorium.
The main auditorium will be at the
center of the structure, the Pantheon
forming the ehlef entrance. It will have
a seating capacity of about six thousand,
with standing room for six or seven
hundred more in the colonnade behind
the gallery seats. Besides the speaker's
stand, at one end, opposite which is a
“presidential box,” there are planned two
other permanent boxes, one for the mayor
and one for the Governor, located In the
center of the auditorium on each side,
connected with retiring rooms beneath
Ly a private staircase.
At the rear of the left wing of the
bulldlnjf will be situated a small theater,
seating about nine hundred people, whtch
can be used for chamber music concerts
and for recitals hy singers and other so
loists. In the right wtng will be a large
hall where banquets, city receptions,
military dances and similar gatherings
can be accommodated. This hall will be
conneeted directly by a small passageway
with the speaker's platform of the main
auditorium.
The purpose of the building will be
expressed on the exterior main facade by
a colonnade, each column representing an
allied nation and supporting a figure sym
bolic of the nation. On the frieze of the
