EUROPE SHOW'S GAIN
Special to Ir.diana Dally Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
By COL. EDWARD M. HOISE.
PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 10.—In some
ways it is easier to foretell the political
situation of Europe than it Is to foretell
the industrial and financial situation.
Politics move along certain well-defined
lines and are governed by conditions, the
existence or non-existence of which is
easy to recognize.
This also js true of the economjp trend
of affairs but to a much more uncertain
degree. The forecasts made by states
men are men Interested in public affairs
concerning political events of the near
future are more nearly in agreement than
the forecasts made by bankers, business
men and economists concerning the future
of finance and industry.
One may find some of the wisest and
best informed of the latter group pre
dicting general bankruptcy throughout
before a permanent improvement
e.omes about. They believe that none of
V national monetary units will return
tS'jlts present pre-war value unless, in-
C. Hi, it is the pound sterling.
MONET TO BE
STABILIZED.
The French paper franc, they predict,
will be stabilized at some point between
ten and fourteen to a dollar and the
German mark will at some time, be
stabilized at a point between twenty-five
and a hundred marks to a dollar. In
other continental countries the point of
stabilization will be In like proportion.
In order to carry on foreign trade a
gold franc and a gold mark must be used
and these will hold their old value of ap
proximately five and four to the dollar.
As for Germany paying her reparations
obligations, that is considered impossible
The present era of inflation will last, in
the opinion of this pessimistic group, for
some time but eventually it must col
lapse and from the ruin will arise anew
structure which will carry on until an
'ther such war topples It over.
Fortunately there Is a larger group
equally learned in finance and economics,
as well as in the ways of men. which
thinks that, given time and reasonable
opportunities, the financial and Industrial
world will right itself. This group makes
no predictions as to the final stabiliza
tion of the franc, mark, kronent or lire,
but it believes that means will be found
in the several countries to bring order
out of the present day chaos. It will
not admit that there will be any repu
diation of foreign obligations, although
j there may be a scaling down of domestic
* debts. It is probable that the final,out
come will lie somewhere between the two
opinions
PREDICTS FINANCIAL
RISE OF GERMANY.
Germany will rise undoubtedly from
her present financial ruin. Just what
steps she will take no one knows. She
does not yet know herself. but her
statesmen, finaneiers and economists are
working hard to evolve some feasible
plan. Meanwhile, her citizens are work
ing with something like their old-time
energy, and this in itself soon will carrv
her back to the high pre-war level.
/ Most Americans, wrongly enough, Judge
France by what they know and see of
Taris. Paris Is the vocal part of France,
but it is no more typical of France than
Xew York is typical of America. The
French, as a whole, are intelligent, sober
minded. industrious and economical, and
they are finding ways out of their dif
ficulties. Therefore France will before
long get her stride and will remain what
she has long been, a bulwark of our
civilization.
Russia is the most disturbing factor
in both the political and economic world.
I is too big, too potential to be
ignored, much as some desire to do so.
Germany, her largest and most intel
ligent neighbor, understands this better
than others. Until some order Is
brought about there, central Europe can
not altogether prosper. The English
know this almost as well as the Ger
mans do. for their trade tentacles touch
every corner of the globe and are
sensitive to economic disturbances.
The English and German financial
world would like to grapple with the
1 Russian problem and facilitate the re
j turn of something like stable conditions,
J but no encouragement comes Trom the
r fnited States and but little fTom France.
I for neither is In Intimate touch with
Russia, France having lost It since the
war.
V. S. WITS TO BK
SHARPEN ED Bb STRIFE.
The United States lacks more than any
of the great powers the International
mind. Its development has been very
slow with ns, considering onr recent
activities In world affairs. When our
industrial difficulties grow more acute
, our wits will become sharpened and we
I will awaken to the necessity of taking
a more active part in world affairs. On
the other hand, the English have the
International mind developed to degree
nneqnaled by any other nation. They
think in international terms as we think
In national terms. There Is no outlying
corner of the earth unkonwn to their
people. If question relating to remote
parts of the globe come up for govern-
Rxnental consideration or public discus-
Sfion, there are at hand many who know
Bp loß6 parts, be they where they may, as
Mve know the different States of the
Hjilon. The press have upon their staffs
Iftnen conversant with all such regions
■vbo are able to write of them in an ln
■elligdht way and readers are round in
■,lenty eager for the information given.
■ Our people as yet see but little con-
Hn action between this Interest In and
of international affairs and
■the expansion of our commerce, and a
Bp-etterment of our industrial condition.
And until they do, we must continue to
work at a disadvantage with our com
petitors.
El ROPE SHOWS GAIN IN
POLITICAL SITCATION.
Europe may be summed up broadly in
this way: The political situation grows
better day by day. The shadow of Bol
shevism is no longer great. Labor is
more contented and is gradually getting
' back to pre-war efficiency. The national
finances of the late belligerent countries
are in bad condition, but their indus
trial condition steadily Improves It is
*aiu that there are more people out of
employment in the United States than in
all Europe, outside of Russia. The fiat
i money under which these late belligerent
countries are operating is thought by
many economists to be a not untnixed
evil. Germany, for instance, could not
carry on If the mark materially depre
ciated.
( The Industrial life of the United States
*ls beginning to feel the Impulse of the
■changed conditions in Europe, and it is
■to be hoped that Washington is giving
■berious though to our foreign trade at
Sthis critical moment. —Copyright, 1921, by

- By RAYMOND CARROLL
NEW YORK, N. Sept. 10.—When a '
great religious denomination turns a
fresh corner in Us contacts with the peo
ple that event becomes news. For in
stance, Roman Catholics in New York city
have opened anew instlutte of social
charitable service “for the spiritual an*:
material welfare of the home, and this
by personal visitation of Its members.
The institute, which Is a trail blazer
for Catholics, is called the Parish Vii
ltors of Mary Immaculate,’’ and the wom
en workers take the vows of chastity,
celibacy and obedience and live together
in a community house at 3-8 West Sev
enty-First street, from which they Jour
ney out each morning.
“We are only twelve in number as
yet,’’ said the woman In charge, who re
quested I withhold her name, “but wi
are expanding and already have between
fifty and a hundred applicants for ad
mission to our work. Ail of the mem
bers of our staff are graduates of the
Fordham School of Social Service. The
assignments are one worker to a par
ish, and there are 312 parishes In this
diocese, presided over by Archbishop
Hayes, who has given his personal sanc
tion to the plan and desires to have ev
ery church under his charge provided
with at least one of our parish visitors. ’
She went on to say the parish visitors
of Mary Immaculate are working In har
monr with other charitable agencies of
the city.
“We deal with all of them in making
up family budgets’’ she said, our
help in Its application is undenomina
tional. We require at least two years
study at Fordham College and year's ad
ditional training in the field before as
signing our members to a parish. I
have had letters from all over the United
States asking about our work, which is
probably the only Roman Catholic com
munity of its kind In the world.’’
The parish visitors differ from the
nuns of the Roman Catholic Church and
the lay workers in the Catholic chari
ties. Instead of the robes of the Sisters
of Charity, they wear ordinary street
dresses of black with soft w-hite col
lars. They are free to carry on their
visitation work at all hours of the day
and night, even to the extent of appear
ing in court with their wards when that
Is found necessary. They have funds
with which to afford relief where it is
required and when asked they give re
ligious instruction. 1 was told that ad- j
joining buildings to the community house
in Seventy-First street had been taken i
and were equipped for the housing of the
growth of the organization. In time
separate community houses will be j
opened In each of the five boroughs of
the greater city. '
In the last six months the number of
robberies of homes in New York City has
increased 40 per cent, say the burglary
insurance companies. The recoveries of
property by the police for the same
period are less th3n yi per cent. Asa
consequence at a meeting yesterday of
the representatives of thirty-five of the
leading burglary insurance companies
rates were increased 10 per cent, with
the announcement that unless there is
a decided improvement in police activity
for the next six months a still further
increase will be made in the rates. Since
the election of Mayor Hylon four years
ago burglary insurance rates have in
creased about 80 per cent.
Over the hill—not to the poorhouse. hut
almost there —in a little frame building
at 111 Doer street. New Brighton, lives
an aged couple. Perhaps you remember
Jim Mutrie, father of professional base
ball in New York City, who organized
the Metropolitans forty years ago. be
came their manager and won the pen
nant in 1838 and 1881). You thought he
was dead? And so did I. But he is not.
He is poor, dreadfully poor; old. very
old. and. worst of all, forgotten by the
men who are now taking in millions from
the national game. “Old Jim" and his
faithful wife, she whom he married three
•core years ago, in Chelsea, Mass., are
’ -■ o' u
pert and surgeon. Since he was swept
out of office by the tidal wave last No
vember, Mr. Davey has been concentrat
ing on a more amenable pastime, a pro
fession to which be has devoted years
of study.
It is a custom of long standing that
whenever anew State is admitted to the
Union for the first Senators to plant a
sprig—emblematic of their common
wealth—on the spacious grounds sur
rounding the Capitol, and since the very
first Congress has insisted upon the
preservation of 'he miniature forest. The
famous Washington elm Is one of the
trees that now is receiving treatment
which will insure Its life for many years
to come
The trees are being repaired this yeer
under an appropriation passed by Con
gress during the height of the propa
ganda started some months ago by or
ganizations fostering the preservation of
our timber lands and the cultivation of
our historical spots.
At least a dozen men are scattered
over the Capitol grounds, doctoring the
trees, while each day hundreds of tour
ists stop to watch nature getting a lit
tle assistance from mere man.
Mrs. Mutrie crosses over to Manhattan
on the ferry each day to scrub an office.
The wealthy man does not know her for
her tiiae of toil is when Wall street is
empty of its financiers. But the woman
earns very little, not enough to pay the
rent arid fill one mouth let alone two
mouths. “Old Jim" tried selling papers
for awhile, but he had to give it up.
The youngsters would jump in front of
him and get all the customers before he
could reach them.
Not long ago “Old Jim” visited the
Polo Grounds and tried to pass through
one of the turnstiles into the “enormous
business" that owes Its existence to bis
vision. He was stopped. On previous
visits to the ball park one of the vet
erans had always seen to it that he was
i admitted. The management stopped
! sending him an annual paRR years ago.
I.lke as not Charles Stonebam, present
owner of the Giants never heard of
Mutrie
U this should come to his notice and
he inquires ho would find that It was
“Old Jim" who went to August Belmont.
, father of the present banker of that
name, and said he wanted to start a bail
team Mr. Belmont approved of the Idea
and Mutrie went at It with John B. Day,
a tobacco merchant, the two gathering
the old Metropolitan, the first players
being paid JlO a week each. From that
start grew the mighty industry of pro
fessional base ball. If is bad enough to
he poor and in need, but to be for
gotten—that ins what Is breaking “Old
Jita” Mutrie’s heart.
LABOR ALSO HAS
ITS OBLIGATIONS
Must Uphold Sanctity of
Agreements.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
an and P hy. a . d AiPi ll a Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.— Labor as
well as the employer must uphold the
sanctity of contracturul obligations.
Governmental stamp of authority was
placed upon this principle Jr. a resolution
adopted by the United States Shipping
Board in disputes whtrh have been In
progress with Longshoremen along the
gulf coast.
The resell tlon, which strangely enough
was seconded by T. V. O'Conner, the
labor member, after it had been intro
duced by Frederick I. Thompson,
authorizes managing operators to use
whatever labor is available in loading
vessels Os the United Stales Shipping
Board, “where and when members of
the Longshoremen’s Union in violation
of their agreement now in effect refuse
to load vessels of the United States Ship
ping Board.”
The situation at New Orleans and Mo
bile arose after the board had Insisted
that operators must live up to their wage
agreements made last October to run for
a year. Longshoremen at New Orleans
refused to load cotton because It had
been handled by non-union labor in the
warehouses and at Mobile the union men
refused to load lumber that bad been
rafted from booms by non union labor.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,1921.
BOARD HAGGLES
WITH NO SEWER
IN PART OF CITY
Westfield Road Main May Not
Be Completed Before
Next Spririg.
REACH NO SETTLEMENT
Prolonged delay by the board of pub
lic works in straightening out a tangle
resulting from its failure to obtain a
right-of-way under the canal before it
let a coutract for the construction of
the Fifty-Sixth street aud Westfield road
main sewer may result in preventing the
completion of the sewer until next spring,
it was said today.
The sewer will serve the entire dis
trict north of Fifty Second street and
west of College avenue. Devlopinut of
the district Into a good residential sec
tion awaits the improvement. Excepting
the huge conduit to carry sewage under
White River from Raymond street to
the new sewage disposal plant at Sellers
Farm, It is the biggest sewer project
undertaken by the city in many years.
The contract for it was award'd lo the
Sheehan Construction C ini puny a few
months ago on a bid af $284,600.
Why the board of works dallied for
seven weeks in untangling the mess it
got Into through failure lo procure the
right-of-way has been somewhat of a
mystery not only to the contractor on
the Job but also to other construction
men.
The trouble first arose almost two
months ago when the Sheehan Company,
reaching the canal with that part of the
sewer between it and White River, dis
covered that the board had not made
arrangements with the Indianapolis
Water Company for carrying the pipe
under the canal.
When contractors were compiling facts
and figures for their bids upon the sewer
early in the summer, it is said, they
were informed by Oiarles Brown, an as
slstant city civil engineer in charge of
sewers, that the water company would
drain the canal and there would be no
! difficulty in getting under it. The Shoe-
I han company discovered, however, after
I it had made its bid and received the
1 contract upon this basis that the water
j company would not agree to let the
| water out of its channel for such a long
period.
BOARD RECEDES
FROM position.
When the contractor appealed to the
board of public works it disclaimed all
responsibility for the mistake, asserting
that it was the business of the contractor
to make the arrangement with the water
company. Upon threat of legal action the
hoard receded from this position and by
subsequent acts, according to the con
tractor. has admitted practically that its
first contention vas wrong. The board
got into touch with the water company.
The utility served notice that It not
only would not agree to drain the canal
but that it also would not consent to
permit the sewer to be constructed nn
der it out of segmental block, the ma
terial specified in the contract. Cast
iron pipe set in a concrete base must be
used for the section beneath the water
course, the water company declared. Aft
er some delay the board of works and
the contractor consented to this change
in specifications, but the matter of how'
the sewer was to be constructed was
not settled It was suggested that the
construction company coffer dam half of
the canal and push its pipe to the mid
dle of the stream and then move the
dam to the other side and complete the
crossing. This, It is understood, did
not meet with any objection from the
water company.
Meanwhile the Sheehan Construction
Company had to sit idly by while week
after week of splendid working weather
slipped past. Finally, about two weeks
ago the company got Frank C. Ltngen
felter, city civil engineer, to sign an
order changing the specifications to con
form to the water company's wishes and
allowing the company extra remuneration
for the excess cost of the different ma
terials and any special machinery or
equipment made necessary by it, plus 15
per cent. This was while the board of
public works was in a vacation period,
and, according to Merle N. A. Walker, at
torney for the contractor, Mark H. Miller,
president of the board, promised that the
order would be approved as soon as it
reconvened. However, when Mr. Walker
and Eugene Sheehan of the construction
i company appeared before the board on
i Aug. 31, Mr. Miller refused to sign the
order, stating that he wanted to submit
it to Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby
first.
On thp strength of the engineer's order
the contractor attempted to Rtart work
at tbo canal on the afternoon of Aug 31,
but the water company immediately or
dered him not to set foot or equipment
upon Its property until it had obtained
a satisfactory agreement with the city.
SECTION OF CITY
WITHOUT SEWERS.
Meanwhile the western section of the
extreme north part of the city goes un
sewered and the likelihood of Its re
ceiving relief this winter grows re
mote. Suspension of work for seven
weeks has meant not only n big monetary
loss to the contarctor but also may re
sult in the city being held responsible
for such loss and the entire extra cost
of the changed construction under the
canal. Approximately sl(U**> Till be
added to the cost of the contract by the
delays and changes, one estimate says.
Tbe board ts trying to show that, only
about $4,000 extra cost will be added. At
any rate the rainy season has arrived
and the sewer Is only fairly started.
Meanwhile the board of works is mak
ing vigorous attempts to cover up its
original error with talk of saving money
by refusing to agree to pay the con
traetor for the cost of cofferdnmtnlng the
canal, if this is the plan finally adopted.
Tbe board contends that cofferdams are
an item to be considered in the original
specifications nnd not chargeable as an
extra. The contractor, however, points
out that the btdders were Informed that

t the canal would be drained, thereby mak
ing cofferdams unnecessary, and that
there is no mention of cofferdams in the
original specifications, and that
their construction now would fairly con
stitute an extra.
An agreement with the water com
pany finally was signed Friday. It does
not specify the manner In which the
sewer Is to cross under the canal, other
than to state that the water shall not
be let out.
Anew order for the extra construction
also was approved by the board. This
order says nothing about coffer dams,
providing only that the contractor shall
receive cost plus 15 per cent for extra
construction necessitated by the change
in specifications.

car had exhausted its gasoline supply.
Early this morning the police received
a “tip” that caused Detectives Manning
and Church to go to Brendenwood Park,
east of MillersviUe. George Davis, super
intendent of the park, told the detectives
two men and two women stopped
an automobile near his home and were
quarreling over the division of money.
"Give me some of that money," demanded
one woman, "You won’t even give me
$5 of it,” they were heard to say. The
detectives searched the road in that sec
tion, but failed to find any trace of the
automobile.
The police are taking special steps to
prevent any more bank hold-ups and dur
ing bankiug hours detectives and patrol
men are stationed near the financial in
stitutions.
“Indianapolis has been lucky,” the de
tectives declared, “in not having had
more bank hold-ups. The stickup boys
have operated in Chicago. Detroit, Cleve
land and other cities many times, but
only twice in the last ten years have
they held up banks here.”
The first of these was about seven
years ago whpn the East Tenth Street
Bank was held up and the bandits
escaped with less than $3,000 These men
never were arrested. The other was
when the South Side State Bank rob
bery was commited in August. 1917, and
the famous Ed Lewis gang escaped with
$18,580.
The members of that gang were
rounded up after a gun battle in the
West. Lewis died in Jail in Colorado.
Sherell was sent to prison for twenty
five years for train robbery, but recently
escaped 'from Federal Prison. Denver
Dale Jones and his wife were killed in
a battle with police In California,
and Kansas City Blaekie was shot and
