‘WE WILL FIGHT
THING THROUGH,’
ANSWERS LEWIS
Mine Workers’ President Is
sues Ultimatum to
Operators.
MORALE IS STRONG
“We’re determined to win, no matter
what course the strike takes.
“We’re prepared for any eventuality.
* We’re going to fight this thing
through—we’re not going to back down.”
This ultimatum was hurled at coal
mine owners of America today by John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, on the heels of Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty's declaration that the
Government will continue its watchful
waiting policy in tne miners' strike.
Lewis had his hand on the throttle of
the coal diggers' union, spurring or
ganizers to increased efforts in open
shop fields.
He was Interested in the warning
which Daugherty sounded to miners and
operators that the Government will not
tolerate an unlawful combination be
tween the two groups if they get to
gether In wage negotiations.
SHOWS INTEREST IN
DAUGHERTY STATEMENT.
“Whether a meeting is held or not the
Government will maintain successfully
by any proceeding that may be neces
sary that agreements, heretofore
reached by the operators and miners,
year after year for many years, which
are a violation of the law and for which
indictments have been returned shall not
be repeated," the Attorney General said
as he left here last night after conferring
with Federal Judge A. B. Anderson re
garding the indictments he mentioned.
Lewis and his assoc'ates regarded
this section as the most pertinent of
Daugherty's long statement. The miners
have been waiting for such a clear defi
nition of the Government’s position by
a member of President Harding's cab
inet or someone else in authority.
William E. Green, secretary-treasurer
of the union, returning from a Tlslt
through the Ohio coal fields, conferred
with Lewis regarding the statement and
submitted reports showing the morale of
the strikers Is still strong.
GREEN SAYS MINERS
WILL CARRY ON.
“They’re going to fight this battle
grimly until the operators consent to
eater conference provided by our wage
scale expiring on April 1,” Lewis said.
He said no reports had been received
recently showing the number of unor
ganized workers taken Into the union
since the suspension started, but he was
certain there were more than 00,000.
"Our agents haven’t time to report
now,” he declared. ' They're doing a
pushing business."
Report Shows Fire
Damage Reduction
Fire loss in Indianapolis during the
months of January, February and March !
reached a total of $151,166, according to j
announcement today by Frank C. Jordan, j
chairman of the fire prevention commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce. This :
loss resulted from 1,491 fires of which ;
nearly 1,000 were roof fires. Loss to resi
dences amounted to SIOO,OOO. The re
mainder was the damage and lass In
three large tires at commercial buildings,
namely the Childs’ Grocery Company
warehouse at 537 East Washington 1
street; the Marion County Mail, 312 East
Market street, and the Slnker-Darls
Company, West street and the Big Four
tracks.
The number of fires depreciated notice
ably along through the three months. In
January there were 674 fires, in February i
525, and in March, 292. The reason as- J
signed to the comparatively small num- :
ber of fires in March is the rain which j
kept’roofs wet the greater part of the
month.
Miners Fired Upon;
Home Is Dynamited
CHARLESTON, W. Va., April 12—Two
outbreaks of violence In connection with
the national coal strike in the New River
field of West Virginia, were reported to
State police today.
Miners on their way from Mount Hope
to Oswald were fired upon from the j
hillside early today and one man was
wounded. Four arrests were made by
State police.
The home of James Penn, a non-union
worker at Sylvia near Beckley,
blown up by dynamite during the night.
No one was injured. A posse with blood
hounds, started on the trail of the
alleged dynamiters today.

INDIANA TEMPLARS TO SEEK NEXT CONCLAVE
EDWARD J. SCOONOVER, CAPTAIN; SRANDT C. DOWNEY, EMINENT COMMANDER, AND
PEARLE A. DAVIS. DRILL MASTER OF RaPF-1 COMMANDERY.
A campaign which all Indiana bodies
of the Knights Templar are backing and
which is indorsed by Governor McCray,
Mayor Shank, the Grand Army of the
Republic, the presidents of nearly all of
the commercial clubs of the city, many
fraternal societies and all State Masonic
bodies will be conducted by the Indiana
Knights Templar to bring the next ses
sion of the organization to Indiana,
when they attend the thirty-fifth triennial
conclave of Knights Templar at New
Orleans, La., April 25, 26 and 27.
A special train for Indiana Knights
Templar, personally conducted by Raper
Commandery No. 1, Indianapolis, will
leave Indianapolis at 6 p. m. Thursday,
April 20, and arrive In New Orleans at
noon Sunday, April 23.
Local members predict that Leonidas
P. Newby of Knightstown, present gen
eralissimo of the grand encampment, will
be tlected grand master of the Kulghts
Templar. This, those urging the next
session be held in Indianapolis point out
as an additional reason for the encamp
ment being held here. It Is estimated
50.000 members and a great number of
visitors attend each session.
The commandery has made preparation
for Its annual Easter services. This year
the Easter services will be hold In the
Cadle tabernacle. A parade will precede
the services. The entire membership of
tbe Raper Commandery No. 1 will par
ticipate and the drill team will execute
maneuvers along tbe line of march.
Knights Templar from towns within one
hundred miles of Indianapolis have been
invited to attend the services Sunday aft
ernoon.
BRINGS POLICE
SUICIDE NOTE
Small Boy Says He Was Hired
to Carry Letter.
A small boy came to police head
quarters at noon today and handed
Edward Schubert, police captain, a cote
written in a cramped hand on cheap
stationery and enclosed In a dirty poor
ly-made envelope. He said a man hail
stopped him at West and Washington
streets and given him a dime to deliver
the note to the police. The note, which
was addressed to “Police office," said.
“My Dear Sir;

I can’t get work to do you will find my

QUESTION OF
LAND FORCES
UP AT GENOA

tions. The French hold that the Cannes
progrr. i must be followed to the letter
and th.’.t It Is no business of the outside
world how big an army shall bo main
tained. M. Barthou, head of the French
delegation, was enraged over the manner
in which the Russians aggressively sug
gested that reduction of armies should
be included In the deliberations.
3. The Intangible, yet fearful question,
of the probable behavior of the Russian
representative has been satisfactorily
straightened out by Tehitcherin’s gra
cious compliance with Lloyd George's de
mands. When the Russian leader crossed
swords with Louts Barthou at the open
ing session and later demanded the
withdrawal of Japan and Roumania,
there was no little apprehension among
the delegates, but this has now given
way to acknowledgement tbe Russians
may behave after all.
RUSSIANS AGREE
TO GEORGE'S DEMANDS.
4. The question of how the various na
tional representation should be consti
tuted has apparently been satisfactorily
settled.
The latter question, however, still may
cause trouble, for those small powers not
represented on the conference, which In
cludes Lloyd George, Barthou, Sehanzer,
Theunis, Ishii, Wirth, Tchltcberln, Brant
ing, Motta, Skirmunt and Bratanio, are
protesting that since this group controls
the conference they might as well go
home. The low rate of their exchange
makes It most costly for them to remain
at Genoa, they say, whe nthey have no
voice in its decision.
The Russian delegation will submit
counter proposals in reply to the Russian
reconstruction plan of the allied ex
perts. now under consideration by the
subcommittee on Russia, according to a
report current In Russian circles this
afternoon. The Russians admitted that
they had brought their own set of sug
gestions from Moscow and that they
would attempt to have them considered
by the conference.
When the allied proposals were given
over to the Russian subcommittee, M.
Barthou, head of the French delegation,
said that .they were not final, but were
subject to revision.

and received its dispensation May 14,
1848, and received its charter Oct. 16, 1850.
There were nine charter members. To
day there are more than 1.000 members.
The commandery took its name from
the Rev. William 11. Raper, a Methodist
minister of Dayton, Ohio, who came to
Indianapolis and constituted the local
chapter. The meeting place of the com
mandcry was shifted around" through the
city until the erection of a Masonic hall
across from the Indiana State capital
building. This was destroyed by fire,
along with all the property and records
of the commandery, May 9, 1906. A
meeting place was found with other
Masonic societies in a building at 41
West Pearl street. This was the head
quarters for Raper until the erection of
the present Masonic Temple, in 1909. In
that building Raper commandery has
Its armory and dining room. All the
trophies won in competitive drill from
1877 to 1919 are housed there. In the
event that Indianapolis Is voted upon
favorably ns the meeting-place of the
conclave of 1925 this building will be
the hub of Templar activities.
The drill team of Itnper commandery.
No. 1. has been known as one of the
best In the country. The present or
ganization is the second In the seventy
two years of existence of the command

in 1575 and made its initial appearance
on the competitive field at a conclave
at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1877. where it took

Ills wife's love for a poodle dog was
greater than her love for him, Bernard
Ahlders. 2015 South Meridian, who was
being tried on the charge of being a
lazy husband, declared in City Court
today.
Mrs. Lina Ahlders explained to the
court that her husband failed to pro
vide during the last four weeks, and al
leged that she had not received one cent
from him In that time. The couple have
no children. When Jndge Reilly (pro
tem) inquired of Ahlders his reason for
failing to provide the court was told that
Mrs. Ahlders loved her poodle dog more
than she did her husband.
Judge Reilly took the case under ad
visement until the afternoon session of
court. He indicated, however, that the
court would require the defendant to
pay Mrs. Ahlders $lO a week for the
four weeks he had failed to provide.
Judge Reilly also suggested that the case
was one that should be adjusted In civl’
court.

meeting. There were two men present,
one being Bell and the other, whose
name was not learned, but who Bell said
was a banker from Illinois. The police
found that there were four quart bot
tles of bitters containing more than 30
per cent alcohol, a bottle of rock and
rye, a quart bottle three-fourths full of
whisky, a quart bottle three-fourths full

from 1883 until 19*>7, when that phase
of competition was restored. One year
before this action, the second drill team
of the commandery was organized. It
has participated In every Triennial Con

three second prizes. In 1997, Raper was
awarded second place at Saratoga, N.
Y. First prize was taken In 1910 at
Chicago, and at Denver In 1913, and
second wards were won In 1910 at Los
Angeles and In 1919 at Philadelphia.

AMUR INVASION
Far Eastern Republic to De
clare' Hostilities, Say
Chita Envoys.
WASHINGTON, April 12.—Formal dec
laration of war against Japan by the Far
Eastern republic—a war into which
Soviet Russia will Inevitably be drawn—
will be promulgated on the day that the
Japanese army, now engaged in driving
back tbe troops of the Chita republic,
penetrate the Amur district of Siberia
beyond the village of lman, envoys of the
Far Eastern republic said today.
The Japanese army is now forty-six
miles from lman. The Siberian army is
retreating before the Nipponese hosts
“without firing a Shot,” according to
cable advices received today by the Chita
representatives here, who declare that,
press reports emanating from Tokio “arc
inspired by the Tokio foreign office and
are to be taken with a grain of salt.”
“Misinformation calculated to poison
world public opinion is being spread
by the Japanese government," the Chita
officials declared.
The situation in the Far East as it
concerns the present operations of the
Japanese, Siberia and Vladivostok, erst
while Merkuloff armies, briefly stated by
the Chita delegation here, Is as follows:
“Bandit battalions, fragments of the
Kolehalk and Seminov armies, headed
by Merkuloff, a Vladivostok merchant,
whom the Chita officials declare to have
been in the pay of Japan, and to have
been armed and provisioned by Japan,
broke the treaty of 1920 (between the
Japan command and the Vladivostok
Zeinstov government and marched beyond
the Vladivostok district into the free
zone along the Usulrl railroad to the
north and penetrated the Amur district
far into the Chita country. They were
driven back almost to Vladivostok by
the Chita forces. When the Merkuloff
army, bedraggled and spent, reached
Usulrl, In the free zone—which zone the
Japanese and Chita governments agreed
to refrain from occupying—the Japan
ese ostensibly disarmed the Merkuloff
forces, took up their cause and marched
against the victorious Chita army with
the expressed intention of forcing them
to retire from the free zone. The Ja
panese army has succeeded to date in
driving the Chitans back to Usulrl, mid
way in the free zone. As the Chitans
claim to be retiring peaceably before the
Japanese. It is expected they will reach
lman. on the north border of the free
zone, within two or three days, creating
a commission that will be heard In Ge
noa and Washington,” the Far Eastern
ers said.
‘‘lf the Chita troopß become oppressed
for need of help," the officials declared,
•'it is logical to suppose that Soviet Rus
sia will come to their’rescue speedily.”

From Mouth
of His Debtor
ST. LOUTS, April 12.—John Busch,
with not a care in the world—with not a
thought of a sl2 dentist, bill he owed—
was strolling languidly through the park
with his wife today when the sudden
shifting of gears attracted his atten

Dr. Frank A. Paschek, dentul surgeon,
sprang lightly from the car.
Then, it is alleged, he walked up to
Mr. Busch and forcibly extracted from
Mr. Busch’s inoufh two rows of teeth,
bridge, plates and all.
‘You'll pay your debts or you won't
eat," he said.
Busch, who now talks with a lisp, had
the dentist arr"ted for 'stealing'' the
teeth. Dr. Paschek denied this; he says
he merely took them back.

cross-roads, where Monroe cars will be
serviced, apd which will act as selling
forces for Monroe. An organization of
salesmen, representing the Monroe fac
tory, will superintend the activities of
these service stations. This sales plan
is announced, as revolutionary in its econ

sales expense, coupled with other savings
in manufacture, the price of the Monroe
car, touring and roadster, has been an
nounced for the 1922 season at $875.
The directors of the new company are
men of wide automobile manufacturing
and selling experience. William Small
has been dealer, distributor and man
ufacturer. J. H. O'Brien has been pur
chasing agent for large automobile com
panies, including Marmon and Cole in
Indianapolis and others In the East. F.
A. King was in an executive capacity
with the William Small Company. J. C.
F. Martin Is a former motor car distrib
utor In Chicago, with extensive grain
elevator business in Indiana. H. H.
Alexander will be superintendent of sales.
He has had years of experience In In

Bulck Motor Company, the Monroe for
the William Small Company, and the
Nash for the Losey-Xash Company.
In the new sales plan of tbe Monroe
Automobile Company, Indiana is to bo

in the plan. Twenty-five hundred cars,
according to William Small can be manu
factured and sold In Indiana, the first
year. The Monroe Automobile Company
has a manufacturing plant on West
Eleventh street, a motor plant on Ful
ton street, a large sales and service sta

YOUNG GIRLS NEED CARE
Mothers,Watch Your Daughters’ Health
Health Is Happiness
From the time a girl reaches the
age of twelve until womanhood is
established, she needs all the care a
thoughtful mother can give.
The condition that the girl is then
passing through is so critical, and
may have such far-reaching effects
upon her future happiness and
health,that it is almost criminal for
a mother or guardian to withhold
counsel or advice.
Many awoman has suffered years
of prolonged pain and mi-cry
through having been the victim of
thoughtlessness or ignorance on the
part of those who should have
guided her through the dangers and
difficulties that beset this period.
Mothers should teach their girl 3
what danger comes from standing
around with cold or wet feet, from
lifting heavy articles, and from
overworking. Do not let them over
study. If they complain of head
ache, pains in the back and lower
limbs, they need a mother’s
thoughtful care and sympathy.

WILSON’S IRE
AROUSED BY
FAKE MESSAGE
Former President’s Name Not
Signed, Nor Did He
Dictate It.
WASHINGTON, April 12. Political
circles were astir today with reports
that former President Wilson’s ire was
aroused by the message, said to have
come from him, which was read at the
Jeffersonian banquet of Democrats in
New Y’ork Saturday night.
Joseph P. Tumulty, Wilson's former
secretary, said today the message was
given him in a casual conversation at
the Wilson home a few' days before the
banquet. The message, Tumulty inui
cated, was not dictated nor signed by
Mr. Wilson. As read from a slip of pa
per at the banquet, it stated: "Say to
the Democrats of New York that I am
ready to support any man who stands for
the salvation of America, and the salva
tion of America Is justice to all classes.”
Read just before the speech of James
M. Cox, it was considered by some as a
boost for the Cox candidacy in 1924. Mr.
Wilson wants to keep hands off. Tu
multy. in a statement, says it did not
refer to “any individual or any particular
political situation.”
