DESIRES U. S.
TO DISTRIBUTE
INFORMATION
Statistician Wishes Govern
ment to Conduct Clear
ing House.
CONFERS WITH HARDING
WASHINGTON, March 30.—R0,,=r W.
Babson, economist and statistician, in a
report, submitted t%thc- President, recom
mends that a central clearing house for
Government material be fifrmed, so that
the wealth of information which the Gov
ernment collects might be concentrated
and available to business men, news
papers and other interests. Mr. Babson
is chairman of a committee formed some
time ago to investigate the situation.
The plan suggests a chief statistician
or a librarian for all Federal branches
be directly unaer the Cabinet and men
tions the name of Herbert Ir Brown, now
it the head of the Bureau of Efficiency,
for the post. Through his work on the
bureau. Mr. Brown is thoroughly familiar
vi'h-NtheL different Federal departments
and the strong and weak pbints of each.
CABBIES FEANS
TO* S?.
Mr. Babson visited the White House
and also conferred with Vice President
Coolidge and Senator Smoot in reference
to the plan. He feels that not only
would the business men b e able to avail
themselves of much valuable Government
material, but also would be saved the
constant annoyances of duplicate ques
tionnaires often sent out by several dif
ferent departments to the same organiza
tion. Asa practical suggestion for put
ting the clearing house in force the com
mittee recommends among other things
the following:
The various statistical libraries now
scattered throughout the departnqjpts
should be combined Into one lnter-de
pifrtmental statistical library. For the
purpose of coordination, there should be
appointed by the President's Cabinet a
statistical librarian who will, be an
obarge, and who will be directly under
the President’s Cabinet, serving all
equally and being amenable to no one
else. This librarian would compile no
statistics himself, but would perform four
functions as follows:
1. iwe a- knowledge of all statistics
being compiled by the Federal Govern
ment; where they are located and by
whom they are 6eing compiled. In this
way ho would act as a train dispatcher
and immediately upon request rut the
Administration or any inquirer in touch
with the preper bureau when inquiries
arise.
AUTHORITY TO
DECIDE CONFLICTS.
2. Have the authority of interpreting
the law under which this reorganization
would take pla-.?, and decide jurisdiction
al conflicts between statisticians of the
various departments. „
3. Serve as a clearing house on all ques- •
tionnaires sent out by different depart
ments.
4. The criticism frequently has been
4hade that since each department Is en
trusted with promoting and pleading
some special interest the figures pro
duced by any such department are opened
to the charge of bias. The statistics,
therefore, would be received with much
confidence if they were subject to an in
dependent audit. This, of course, need
not be constant or complete, but could be
applied at intervals somewhat on the
principle of the “call” of the national
bank comptroller. If such an audit were
provided, it should be under this li
brarian.—Copyright, 1922, -by Public

BEVERIDGE TO
CUT EXPENSES
IN PRIMARY
(Continued From Fage One.)
the State come to the hotel at any hodr,
day or night. Thl6 Is a point considered
by political managers in locating their
headquarters in hotels.”
On a basis oFthe lowest rate per diem
that the Severin has, two dollars, the
campaign 'headquarters of Senator New
would cost for two months. It Is estima
ted, between s7*3o and SBOO. Candidates
are required to file an account of ex
penditures with the State, btrt this
usually is not dirulged until after the
primary.
Mr. Beveridge made the following stae
ment:
“Acting for myself, but with the full
and hearty concurrence of my commit
tee, its treasurer, and my manager, I
make this announcement:
**L That on March 30, the so-called
‘Beveridge at the Clay
pool Hotel, will be removed to the law
offices of my manager, Maj. Clarence R.
Martin, in the Fletcher Savings and
Trust buildup./Major Martin, as I have
heretofore publicly stated many times,
gives his services without any compen
sation whatever, direct or Indirect, pres
ent or prospective.
"2. That I shall henceforth publish
•weekly a full statement under my oath
of the total amount expended by Vine
during the preceding week, together with
the specific items thereof; and tfcat'dhe
treasurer appointed by my committee,
as the law requires. Mr. Charles N. Wil
liams, president of the Farmers’ Trust
Company, will also publish weekly a
similar statement under oath of the to
tal amount expended during the pre
ceding week by my committee in my
behs’ # . together with the items thereof.
“3. /hat I shall, in the newspapers
of Monday, April 3, publish a similar
statement of all expenses already made
or incurred, and that the treasurer of
my committee will do the same as to
the total amount already spent in my
behalf, together with the specific Items
thereof.” *
By setting an example, Mr. Beveridge
says he has issi;*d a challenge to his
opponent to course.
“Five times,” he said, “I have publicly
asked my opponent, with his committee
to meet me with my committee, in
friendly conference, agree in good faith
on a limit to our campaign expenses,
and to appoint a Joint board to see that
our friends everywhere carry out our
agreement. My opponent refuses this
reasonable request, made in all amity an 1
good will.”
Three issues have developed in the
campaign, Senator Beveridge. d#clared.
These, he said, are:
1. Which candidate is best equipped
for the senatorial work that must be
done during the coming six years?
2. Which candidate, as the head of the
Republican ticket, can draw most vot<y
to the whole ticket, county, congressional
and State, at the election In November?
3. Shall the expenditure of money In
this primary contest be curtailed or shall
candidates be permitted to spend with
out limit? ' '
Since the begining of his campaign Mr.
Beveridge has stressed the importance of
limiting campaign expenditures. Follow
a first request for a meeting of the com
mittees of the rival candidates; the chair
man of the New forces indicated that no
such meeting would be held. *
KEVERIDGE DEVIATES
FROM CAMPAIGN CUSTOM.
Just what part the expense of cam
paigning, hotel expenditures are. Is a*
matter of conjecture. Three rooms such
as those used by the Beveridge cam
ped;™ directors under ordinary clrcum- j
stain's would eo't a conp|(le-nMe

From Hobo Seminary
CHICAGO, March 30.—Hobo College
and the University of Chicago
planned an exchange of professor
ships today.
Visit of Professor Robert Feck and
C. W. Burgess of the University of
Chicago to Hobo College after “local
color,” led ta the proposal of “pro
fessor usapp*" by Dr. Ben. L. Belt
man and James Eads Howe, deans of

of the Road.
According to Relfman, “Prof.” Mike
Smith, known to Intimates as “China

; parture from the customary method of
j campaigning.
! The suite occupied by the New forces
jin the Severla Hotel is on the fourth
floor jitst above the rooms of the Re-
I publican State committee, and consists
of or seven rooms. This set of rooms
is probably more expensive than those
•>sed by headquarters for Be’erldge. The
j Beveridge headquarters hat. had In the
past from four to half a dozen persons
employed while approt.lmately twice
that nflmber have been employed at the
, New headquarters.
i "Consider the argument that my op
! ponent Is compelled to advertise and go
| to other large expense because, for more
than a year, I have been speaking on
non-rolitlcal subjects,” Mr. Beveridge
■ said. “The talks I have made have been
lln response to invitations, often ergent,
and many times repeated, from bar as
sociations, ministerial associations, busi
ness men's organizations, women’s
clubs, and the like, vdthout solicitation
or any kind of insplrjt’on from me. This
fact will be verified by scores of lawyers,
preachers, women and business men all
i over Indiana.
“Moreover, at not sue of the places
where I have made \hese talks was the
senatorship, . or any political subject
whaeyer, dftemsed even privately. Al
though frequent and 'abundant oppor-
I tunltv was afforded, I absolutely de
clined to so much as converse on political
topics of any kind.
. “Also, these same addresses were given
all over the Nation—for instance, at Bos
ton and Denver, Chicago, and Louisville,
NewyYork and Omaha, Philadelphia and
Kansas City, Norfolk and St. Louis, Cln
! cUinatl and Detroit, Milwaukee and Buf
falo, Wichita and Atlantic City; and I
! have had to decline similar invitations
from Y'ermont to California. Were these
meetings of lawyers and church people
In qther States gotten up as part of a
deep and subtle plan to advance a sena
torial candidacy months and years in
the futtire?
“Yet, the meetings comjjJalned of In
Indiana were of precisely the same kind,
and the addresses there made were iden
tical with those delivered throughout the
[ Republic. Is the fact that the people wish
Ito hear about the Constitution. th e Bible,
th e Senate, oratory, Americanism and the
like, and think me competent to speak
to them such subjects, any excuse for
enormous campaign expenditures by or
on behalf of my opponent!
POINTS TO NEW’S
POLITICAL ACTIVITIES.
“Consider, on tb other hand, the prep
arations of my r ponent: Scores of ‘con
ferences with paity leaders,’ as the
newspapers * ...ase If. have been held.
Dinners have been gi*en to ‘party work
erg.’ Thousands of letters have been
written to thousands of person*. Per
sonal and seductive attention has been
bestowed on Republican editors; and the
press has reyCatedly informed the publtc
that these powerful and most useful
men wer e ’line-up’ for my opponent.
Other notorious devices were outlined in
my Ft. Wayne speech. And most of this
has been going on for at least sixteen
months—indeed, ever since the election of
1920.
• “Yet. In despite of It, we are now told
that heavy expenditures are essential to
my opponent's campaign; and it appears
tC;*t tactics of silence are to be adopted
cr a ’barrage of ridicule' is presently to
be thrown out to overcome the effect of
the public disapproval of such methods,
and to conceal the further practice of
such methods.
“It Is for voter* to decide. Their ver
dict at the ballot box. May 3, will ap
prove or disapprove of the collection and
disbursement of vast sums of cash to
secure a Senatorial nomination In In
diana; and that verdict will be an ex
ample for every other State in the Union.”
Four Boys Found in
Farm Home Arrested
Four boys were caught by an armed
posse of farmers early today in the coun
try home of George E. Lockwood, one
mile -yiorth of Clermont. Mr. Lockwood
lives sit 1321 Nx>rth Meridian street. Two

Farmers discovered numeftms depreda
tions had been committed at the Lock
wood home and were on the watch for
trespassers. They saw smoke curling
from the chimney. When they went to
the house, the four boys were found in
side. It was not'necessary to use the
shotgun with which the men were armed.
At the city prison, the two older boys
gave their names as Oscar Underwood,
1121 Easb v Pratt street, and Ed Proctor,
720 North Pershing avenue. The arrests
were made by motor policemen.

tenced today to the Indiana Women’s
Prison for from two to twenty-one years
on a charge of manslaughter in Crimi
nal Court by Judge James A. Collins.

James Wilson, on the night of Dee. 1,
1921, by shooting him. She was allowed
to enter a plea of guilty to manslaughter

STATE IMPROVE
Larger Cities Reporting BA
ter Situation of
s Labor.
NEARING PRE-WAR BASIS
Employment conditions in Indiana are
improved, according to reports from
many of the larger Indiana cities cover
ing the situation at the end of March,
forwarded to thp Washington headquar
ters of the President’s conference on
unemployment by Evans Woollenttof Ind
ianapolis, president of the Fletcher Sav
ings and Trust Company, and regional
director for the work of the conference in
Indiana. _
The reports were sent to the regional
director by mayors of cities and by other
agents of the inference throughout the
State. In general the reports show bet
terment In the unemployment situation,
some of the city reporting employment as
“nearly back to pre-war conditions.”
The city of Anderson reported that
“there Is no occasion to worry about the
situation here.”
MORE AT WORJj.
IN EAST CHICAGO.
East Chlcagq said conditions there are
“somewhat improved,” that “more men '
are working than In December" and that !
“they expect to reduce unemployment i
further in the spring when outside work
Is possible." f
Muncie reported that its unemployment j
situation “is Improving all the time” and
that “Muncie is almost back to pre-war
conditions.”
From South Bend came the word that :
"practically every able bodied man in ;
South Bend Is either employed or can be.
The main problem Is one of transients.
The labor demand In the city Is sufficient
to take care of its own people, but not of
transients."
Other cities reported as follows:
Ft. Wayne—The local post of , the
American Legion Is conducting a can
vass of the unemployed. According to
figures so far obtainable these will num
ber 1,300 or 1,400. Unemployment la
mainly confined to industrial plants. The
outlook Is considered favorable In view of
projected building and sewer construc
tion work.
Gary—The sltuatoln Is rather unfavor
able. It is hoped that men will be put to
work on roads In early spring. The
mayor is actively Interested In the prob
lem.
Hammond —The conditions here are not
serious. The outlook is apparently
brighter. Tbe Chamber of Commerce and
other organizations are doing everything
possible Jo overcome unfavorable condi
tions. The mayor is working with these
organizations
Kokomo—Business is opening up some
what and the outlook for better condi
tions in the near future Is promising.
Indianapolis—Conditions here have im
proved since Dei-emb.-r. The employment
bureau is active. A mayor’s committee,
has been formed of representatives of the ;
employment bureau, churches. American
Legion. Chamber of Commerce and two
counclimen. Construction la active. Tho
diversity of industry helps. .....
Michigan City—Conditions here are a
great deal better than in December. Very
few men are unemployed.
Richmond —The situation 1* a little bet
ter than In December. Tho prospect for
outside work is good, as will as the pros
pect for lucrease In factory employment.
Vincennes—A confe-ence of business
men has been formed and a registration
bureau established. Arrangements have I
been made to give unemployed work at I
$2 a day for three days a week, on j
streets. In parks, playgrounds, beaui- ]
tifylng river front, etc. This arrangement
will last until tbe early sprlnfc, when tbe
bulk of those in distress will be able to
secure employment on farms.
BRYDON DENIED
RENT OF HALL
FOR HIS BAZAAR
•(Continued From Page One.)
lirydon had sold them privileges to
Operate games of chance at the bazaar.
This information'caused the board to
put Brydon off until Monday.
Dietz and Hawthorne were quoted ns
having said the Brydon told them It
would all right to operate because he
had nn understanding with the prosecut
ing attorney. Mr. Evans indignantly de
nied this. Brydon. also denied pinking
such a statement. The mayor advised
Brydon to return the money of the two
concession men. Brydon at first refused
but today he Dietz back $57.50 and
Hawthorne SSO, receiving from Haw
thorne a signed statement, as follows:
"This is to' certify that R. M. Brydon
did not sell ine—any gambling privileges
for any date, or purpose or time.”
Contracts which the concession mn
and Brydon exhibited provided for sale
to Dietz of “auto fish pond’’ and “kewple
doll” concessions and "gas balloon priv
ilege” *and “ball game” to Hawthorne.
Brydon Insisted there was nothing of a
gaming nature about these concessions.
The concession men said their method
of operation necessitated the customer
taking a chance.
Brydon said the bazaar will be given
somewhere, som dime, because SB,OOO has
been collected In concession fees, adver
tising and advance ticket sales.
The prosecutor's reference to broad
cast advertising grew out of the use of
a full page in ‘Billboard” a theatrical
trade Journal, by the bazaar promoters.
It was in response to this advertisement
that Dietz and Hawthorne said they c<
tracted for their concessions.
While Brydon and the men who said
they represented the ex-soldiers’ league
were trying to get the permit from the
board of works Judge Arthur R. Robin
son of Superior Court Room 4, an over
seas veteran and member of the Ameri
can Legion came up. He listened for a
moment and then broke into the argu
ment :
"Is this that- bazaar business? This
board doesn't want to grant that per
mit, surely. Why, th\p fellow Brydon
gets 90 per cent and the other ten goes
to the boys. They’ve got a contract to
that effect.”
Claud W. Miller, manager of the in
terest of the league In the bazzar, who has
been working with Brydon in the pro
motion, turned ujjon Judge Robinson and
shouted: \ - •
“What, do yon mean I signed a con
tract finder misapprehension ?”
Judge Robinson said he could produce
a copy of the contract In a few min
utes. Miller defied hint to do It. The
Judge said he would get it and left.
NEW CONTRACT F(>R
AN EVEN DIVISION.
Brydon insisted that the contract giv
ing him 90 per cent had bepn aban
doned and exhibited anew one by
which the'league got 50 per cent of the
gross receipts and he whatever he could
make after paying expenses out of ‘he
remainder. He said he had advanced
money several times to the league out of
advancp ticket sales, and had taken
money from a number of politicians and
business men for signs to •be hung in
the hall during the bazaar.
Mayor Shank said he was for any
thing which benefited soldiers exclusively,
but no promoter was going,,to be per
mitted to make a lot of money out of a
soldier affair. He asked Brydon to take
some other dates than those he asked for,
because they conflicted with the date of
the Yankee Circus to be given at the
Coliseum by the Marion County Council
of the American Legion. Brydon and his
INDIANA DAILY TIMES.
VITAL MATTER \
TQ PRIVILEGED
Question of Who Will Get
Choice Stalls on City Mart.
Curb market staudbolders at the city
market waited anxiously around the city
hall today whße Mayor Shank, Edward
G. Sourbier, member of 'the board of pub
lic safety; Market Master Robert R.
Sloan, County Commissioner Calvin H.
Shank and others debated over “who is
who” ill a back office. Those who have
been politically faithful expressed hopes
that they could get the choice corner
stands. The conference broke up with
its work unfinished. The matter will be
taken up afealo next week.
Curb stands are those along the side
walks around the courthouse and Ihe
city market buildings. Theoretically,
they are permanently leased to, produc
ers of garden truck for sl6 a year for
each stand space. The practice Is for
gardeners to drive Into their spaces
early on market days and sell out their
loads to the “curb merchant.” The curb
merchant, under market rules, can oc
cupy the stand after the gardener is
through fqr the day. Usually the gar
dener does not stay. Oftentimes he
does not come to market, particularly
in the winter. The city charges the
“curb merchant” 80 cents a half day
or $1 a full day for occupying one of
these spaces. Under market rules, a
curb stand Is not permanently Issued
to a “cur 6 merchant” as it Is to a gar
dener. The “cqyb merchant” has to
taka his chance—theoretically.
What actually has been going on for
many years, market observers state, Is
that the “curb merchant” get the game
stand the year around, if- he kn<nq* how
to go after it. This was so under the
Jewett administration, and from ap- i
pearancea it will be so under the Shank
administration—-only some old familiar
Saces around tho curb market might be
missing. It is necessary to make Yoora
for “the faithful."
There are ways of picking room for
“the faithful," politicians know.
lean Legion Is “bucking the rest of the
solc.ters, the likes of me, for instandS.”
William E. Reilly, a member of the
legion .■'nd an" overseas veteran, replied
that the American I.egion Is not opposed
to anythlLg for the bfneflt of ex-service
men, but It most certainly is against the
exploitation of soldiers by promoters.
PRODUCED COFY
OF ADVERTISEMENT.
Somebody produced a copy of the Bill
board advertisement which the conces
sion men had quoted.
Quotations from this are as follows:

cans* it would not be possible unless we
all became Identical mollycoddles."
Reports of conflict, Mondell asserted/
ran be mainly attributed to political
sources.
He criticized the anti-bonus 'campnlgn
particularly. Styno people , he said,
have gone so far ns to declare the po
sition of th e President, where tfea Ex
ecutive has refrained from committing
himself, and he indicated that House
action with respect to the Army and
Navy bills was more nearly in accord
with the President’s wishes than news
paper reports led the country to be
lieve.
PREDICTS ANOTHER
ANVIL CHORUS.
"Tbe anvil chorus" lngk of accord
with tho President will break out afresh,
said Mondell. when the navel bill Ig
taken up In the House. He said the bill
was framed with the purpose of main
taining In fighting trim and condition
for prompt action a Navy on the sens
of the size and strength authorized by tbe
Jerma of the recent conference and un
der that agreement to bring about a
substantial reduction In the cost of the
naval establishment.
“Unfortunately,” he continued,
“through pressure of selfish local
Interests which have been operating for
many y“ars, but which had a riotous
carnival of extravagant- Influence dur
ing the war, a large part of our Navy is
ashore. It Is a lamentably backward an<U
unassuming village along our coast
line that has not its naval base or sia
tion, that has not its grappling hooks
on the National Treasury through the
naval bill. There may be some question
ns to the relative size of navies afloat,
but there Is no manner of question about
tho size of navies ashore. We far out
rank and outclass them all."

main underlying causes for the existing
