BERND MAY BE
ELECTED NEW
i COUNCIL HEAD
Pending Storm Stays Intro
duction of Police Inspector
ship Ordinance.
PLAZA ACTION HINTED
Things which happened at the regular
meeting of the city council last night
were fraught with possibilities for re
sults of high importance in the near fu
ture. For instance:
1. There was afloat a well founded
rumor that Theodore J. Bernd. council
man-elect of the Fifth district, has
enough votes pledged to him to be elected
president of the new council on Jan. 2.
2. The council refused to entertain an
ordinance establishing the three inspec
torships of police which Mayor-Elect
Samuel Lewis Shank desires to create
and fill with close supporters.
GERMS OF ROW IN' COP
INSPECTOR ORDINANCE.
3. Present councilmen foresaw the
germs of a row which might prove em
barrassing to Mr. Shank, resentment for
which some of the councilmen-elect, of
whom there were several present. Pi
pressed because the police inspector ordi
nance was not saved for introduction
until after the new council is In power.
4. A broad hint that there may yet be
an attempt at legal action to block the
memorial plaza project was given by C.
A. York, secretary of the National Dis
abled Veterans' League.
5. The council defeated, by a vote of
C, to 2. an ordinance prohibiting the use
of fireworks within the city limits, on
the Fourth of July or any other time,
excepting in public places upon express
permit of the boards of park commis
sioners and public safety.
6. In voting against the anti-fireworks
ordinance several councilmen said, in es
feet, that too many of the personal liber
ties of the people are being legislated
away from them and that some day
there is going to be a "flareback which
will be "some flareback.”
7. Discussing the anti-fireworks meas
ure, President Russell 1\ illson declared
he is convinced the council made a mis
take by appropriating SO,OOO for the use
of the American Legion in staging its
Fourth of July celebration at the State
fairground this year and warned the in
coming council against repeating the er
ror.
BERND CANDIDACY
SHOWS NEW ALIGNMENT.
The report that Theodore J. Bernd is
likely to be the first president of the new
council indicated anew alignment of
couneilmen-elect, but was not surprising
to political observers. Rumors that some
such move was in the air have been
current for several days. Until this
time it had been understood that Lloyl
11 Claycombe and Walter W. M ise were
candidates for the presidency. It was
reliably reported that Claycombe had
the pledged support of one of the other
Republican members-elect and the three
Democratic members-elect.
In the realignment, however, it is said
that Claycombe is among those who will
support Bernd. So far as is kuowa Mr.
Wise still is a candidate. Friends of
Bernd said they are sure he can mar
shal more than the required five cut of
nice votes to be elected. The election
will take place on the evening of Jan. 2,
when the new council takes office.
INSPECTORSHIP HILL
PREPARED BY GRONINGEK.
The ordinance creating the three In
spectorships of police was prepared and
offered for introduction by Taylor E.
Grontnger. Mr. Shank's appointee for
corporation council, it was said. Coun
cilman Jesse E. Miller, Shank's appointee
for city purchasing agent, brought the
measure to the meeting. It provide?,
that the inspectorships shall be : n ex
istence on and after Jan. 2 and 'hat lie
incumbents shall receive pay of $2,700
per year.
In some manner the word that this or
dinance was to be introduced got to some
of the councilmen-elect at the meeting.
Those present were Mr. Bernd. John E.
King. Beu H. Thompson and Ira L.
Bramblett. One or two of them imme
diately expressed displeasure. Shank
followers in the present council pointed
out to the couneilmeu-elect that the rea
son for introducing the ordinance and
attempting to get it through before Jan.
2 was that Mr. Shank hoped to have the
men whom he has selected for the in
spectorships appointed by the new board
of public safety on the day of his in
auguration. This was satisfactory to
some of the new councilmen. but one or
two were not quite convinced. This dis
cussion took place before the meeting was
railed to order.
STORM BREAKS W HEN
ORDINANCE IS |READ.
A bombshell buret when the ordinance ;

before noon of yesterday, In accordance
with the rule of the council. M. Hutsell

Credit Pendulum, too Loose
2 Years Ago, Now Has Swung
too Far in the Other Direction
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
By RICHARD SPILLANE.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6. —“If I were president of a bank,’’ says a
manufacturer whose product is marketed nationally, “l would set
to work to restore confidence among worthy borrowers and depositors. It
is about time something was done to dissipate the doubt that bedevils busi
ness.
“This cuntry is sound fundamentally from a banking viewpoint. All the
proof you need is furnished by comparing the Federal reserve bank state
ments of a year ago and today. A year ago the reserve was comparatively
low. Today it is high, too high. ,
“Credit, which is another term for confidence, is the life blood of busi
ness.
“Some of the depression from which we have suffered was due to too
loose and liberal credits in 1919 and part of 1920. Today business is hob
bled from too great a restriction of credit. From one extreme the bankers
have gone to the other.
"If confidence, real confidence on sound
lines is to be restored, the financial peo
ple are the ones who have it in their
power to bring it about.
..T F I were president of a bank I would
A call upon each and every member of
my board of directors to take a list of
a certain number of patrons of the bank
in the line of business with which he was
thoroughly informed, and request him
to call upon these people and sit down
in the old-fashioned way and talk over
the business of that customer, ascertain
whether he still was worthy of credit,
whether he could use some credit and
how much, whether the time had arrived
for him to resume business
“I consider the banners nave a moral
obligation in this matter and it is not.
alone upon the bank president but upon
his officers and directors.
"There is too much fog and too much
doubt. A far better understanding and
a much better relationship will result if
there is a thorough discussion between
the bank people and their customers as
to what they can do for each other
toward resuming operations.
“Only good can come from a thorough
understanding.
uITrE HAVE approximately 30,000
VV banks in this country, about 8,000
national banks and 22,000 State banks.
Put the average number of directors at
banded to him only a short time before
the meeting began. At this Mr. Brown
stood upon his point of order, insisting
that the council could not properly re
ceive the measure on Introduction. Presi
dent Willson sustained him, but pointed
out that the measure might be introduced
anyway if the council passed a motion
to set aside the rule. Although he sug
gested it several times no one made the
motion and the bill was not introduced.
Whether the ordinance can be pushed
through the council before Jan. 2, l.ow
is quite problematical. If it had been
introduced last evening the council could
have let it lay in committee the usual
two weeks and have passed It on Dec.
19. the next regular meeting. It then
would have gone to Mayor Jewett for
signature and if he desired to veto it
the council still would have had time
in which to pass it over the veto at a
special meeting.
However, as the matter now stands the
ordinance very likely cannot be intro
duced before Dee. 19, which is the last
regular meeting the present council will
have. It cannot be introduced in a spe
cial meeting unless President Willson or
Mayor Jewett include it in the call there
for. which is not considered likely. It
likewise cannot be Toted upon in a spe
cial meeting unless included In such n
call.
The general opinion of the councilmen
was that Councilman Brown had very
effectively thrown a parliamentary
“monkey wrench into the works," by in
voking the seldom used rule. It is the
; first time in the memory of the conncll
men that the rule has been so strictly
ienforced.
HINT OK LEGAL ACTION
TO BLOCK PLAZA.
The hint of further legal action to block
the memorial plaza project came from
Mr. York before the meeting when he
j announced that be had brought to the
i council a letter asking that the famous
remonstrance against the city's partici- |
pation in the project be returned to the ■
| city clerk's office, from which it has been j
i absent since a day or two after it was j
1 filed.
Mr. York was asked why he wished the;
remonstrance back in the hands of the
city clerk. (It now is said to be in the
vault of the city legal department.!
"Because there is a possibility of fur
ther legal action within the next week
or two and we don't want it to remnin
longer in the hands of Sam Ashby (cor
poration counsel) and that bunch any
longer. We don't know what they are
liable to do to it."
"Who do you mean by *we?"’ York
was asked.
“The men who originally were opposed
to the plaza and several others who since
hnve volunteered to help us,” he replied.
The letter, which was signed by York
anti Wallace G. Miller, filers of the re
monstrance, was read to the council.
Corporation Counsel Ashby said the

“There has been a fair improvement in

that are very dull. A bank is not a

it to extend credit where credit is not

it urgent, is delayed because of the doubt
that restricts credit. Our purchasing

so is the national pay roll.

would turn l* over to whoever the council
directed. It has been lo the council's
custody since the council began to in
vestigate it, prior to refusing to call n
special election upon it, he said and the
council can put it in the hands of who
ever It pleases.
No councilman moved that the peti
tion be returned to the clerk's office, so
Mr. Willson said that with the consent
of the council he would order the clerk
to strike York's letter from the tiles and
not to inclde It in tho Journal. The
consent was given.
ANTI-FI REWORKS
ORDINANCE KILLED.
The anti-fireworks ordinance is a mat
ter which had been banging Are since the
middle of July. Council man Sumner A.
Furnijs introduced it after the board of
public safety bad been called upon to
issue hundreds of permits for fireworks
on July 4, under the existing ordinance.
It was reported favorably out of com
mittee, but never called out for a vote
until ast evening.
When .its provisions prohibiting the
private use of fireworks under any cir
cumstances were rend. Councilman Louis
W. Carneflx remarked:
“You're taking all the joy out of the
life of the little boys."
"I iike to shoot firecrackers myself,"
said Councilman Brown.
On the roll call Councilmen Brown,
Carneflx. Lee J. Kirsch, William It.
Peake, Schmidt and President Willson
voted "no" and Councilman Furniss and
Miller "aye.”
In further explanation of his vote. Mr.
Willson said that no one can accuse
the council of being opposed to fire pre
vention and pointed to the changes in
•he building code which have l>een made
at the request of those interested in lea
seeing fire hazards.
Persons opposed to and favoring an
ordinance removing taxicabs from Jack
son place. In front of the Union Station,
and re-establishing their stand on the
east side of Illinois street, beneath the
track elevation, spoke In u brief public
hearing preceding the meeting. Don
Herr of the Yellow Cab Company spoke
against the measure, asserting that tt
would give the company, which has the
concession for parking its cabs inside the
station, a monopoly by removing the in
dependent cabs from their present stands.
TAKE NO ACTION ON
MONUMENT PLACE PLAN.
No action was taken on the taxi ordi
nance. Ordinances extending the height
limit of buildings In Monument place and
prohibiting the establishment of manu
facturing buildings In any block within
500 feet of park property, also were not
acted upon. A committee of G. A. R.
veterans, interested in the preservation
of the monument's beauty, suggested that
the ordinance be passed over until they

its meeting today.
Ordinances were introduced as follows:
Annexing territory bounded by Sher

and Cincinnati Traction Company's Shel
byville division and Alexander avenue.
Appropriating $35,245.56 to the interest
and exchange on city bonds fund.
Appropriating $250 to the erroneous as
sessment fund, $40,000 to the electric, gas
and vapor lights fund and $50,000 to
the water rental fund, all under tlie
board of public works.
Three m.aor fund transfer ordinances,
two switch contract ratifications and four
ordinances providing for minor annex
ations were passed.
The council is expected to have a spe
cial meeting next Monday evening to act
upon a number of pending matters.

lives are ended after the medical students
are through with their experiments.
Thus the dogs do not suffer at all. This
is the plan whi< ii the progressives in the
medical society .have been attempting to
have put in operation locally. Cleveland
authorities said that the medical colleges
get satisfactory results from their expe
riments upon animals in “twilight sleep.”
Local medical college authorities have
repeatedly Insisted that the animals
must be operated on while they are con
scious.
CLEVELAND HAS
RIGID INSPECTION.
The Cleveland humane bodies have a
very careful Inspection system to make
certain that no so-called “good” dogs
get Into the hands of the medical college
and that none of them nro barbarously
thrown into pens to die or get well, as
chance will have It, nfter they have been
operated on, as has been found to be (be
practice in the Indiana University School
of Medicine.
So careful are the Cleveland societies
of animal welfare that they not only do
not permit the dogs to be turned over to
the medical colleges from the city dog
pound, as was fdund to be the practice
here before the local progressives broke
it up, but their regulations ary so strict
that the medicial institutions get their
anliiiHls from elsewhere. One of the medi
cal colleges showed Mr. Pitts a shipment
of dogs which the college authorities
reported were obtained in Detroit.

of child protection, the department of un
married mothers, the department of child

iof a drinking party, struck at her. She
said she warned him that she would
; shoot if he came near and the two men
rushed at her. She fired once, the bul
