Chest Take Tenth Place in
Municipalities.
Indianapolis supporters of the Com
munity Chest, with average contribu
tions of $32. give this city tenth place

The largest average contributions, ac
cording to figures just received at the
office of ihe local Community Chest, were

RAISE PS TER CENT
OF THEIR APPEALS.
Returns from fifty-one of the larger
cities lr. the country, including also
Honolulu, show that, in spite of unset
tled bus.ness conditions last year, these
Community Chests raised 95 per cent of
the amounts for which they appealed.
The rota! of all these funds amounts to
$■21400.000. contributed by ItOO.OOO givers.
Indianapolis does not rank so favor
ably in a comparison of per capita
pledges. Only $1.40 was contributed
here from each man. woman and child
in the city. In East Orange, N. J., the
per capita contribution was $7.17, the
highest on record.
HOKE EXPRESSES
FAITH IN IDEA.
Fred J. Hoke, president of the Indian
apolis Community Chest, expressed his
faith lr. the soundness of the community
chest Idea, as proved by Its success
in a year when money was hard to raise
end whin calls for charitable help were
multiplied.
“When the people of Indianapolis real
ize that this is their Job, as a group of
friends ami neighbors, to help the other
fellow, and not just an abstract theory
held by a few social workers, we'll make
a better record than any other city has
to date.” declare.! Mr. Hoke. "Akron,
for instance, raised 114 per cent of its
quota in spite of unemployment and de
pression. Indianapolis Is going to hit
that mark some day.”
100 500-WATT
LAMPS NEEDED
Lighting Expert Replies to
Suggestion for Illuminat
ing Monument.
One hundred 500-watt lamps would be
required for the illumination of the
Soldiers and Sailors Monument, C. 08.
Murphy, vice president and general man
ager of the Merchants' Heat and Light
Company, declared today. In answer to
the suggestion of R. R. Hand of Chicago,
that the monument be flood-lighted.
Mr. Murphy writes to The Times as
follows:
“In today's Times there appears an
Item stating that Mr. R. R. Hand, of
Chicago, an accountancy expert, has great
admiration for our wonderful city, hut
cannot understand why the city or State
does not Illuminate our marvelous
Soldiers and Sailors' Monument.
“Mr. Hand 6tates further “that four,
or maybe only two, lights could be In
stalled that would Illuminate the Monu
ment clear to the top of the shaft.”
“It requires one hundred 500-watt flood
lights when the Merchants’ Heat and
Light Company formerly donated the
electric current. Mr. Hand himself does
not appreciate the size of our Monu
ment.
“The lighting was discontinued when
the United States Fuel Administration
ordered that all unnecessary lights be
shut off In order to save coal and help
win the war."

MAY CLASSIFY
EMPLOYMENT IN
STATE OFFICES
Propose Regulation of Wom
en’s Working Con
ditions.
A move for the classification of wages,
hours, and working conditions of women
employed In various departments of the
State Government has been suggested by
heads of departments. Heretofore the
number of hours and pay for women has
been left largely to the discretion of each
department and no uniformity existed.
Under the new proposal three classes,
according to training, experience and
abillly, would be established. Those in
Class A would receive pay of from $75
to ?I'K> a month: Claes S, s9o to $11(1,
and Class C, SIOO to $l5O. This would
eliminate discrimination among employes
ami would give each more individual
opportunity, the Governor believes. Those
who are clerks bookkeepers or stenog
raphers would .be paltl accordingly. Uni
formity of working hours was also con
sidered. Some employes work from 8:30
to 4:30, others from S o'clock to 3, and
some longer.
Edward Farmer, dlretcor of the budget,
reported to Governor McCray that prog
ress is being, made toward establishment
of the budget system as provided by the
la*t session or the General Assembly.
He said printed estimates of the appro
priation requirements for each depart
ment would be ready before the Legis
lature meets In 1923.
Attorneys Sue to
Collect Their Fees
' Suit to recover attorn- y’s fees from
Elizabeth Mayhew, by whom they were
employed, was Hied In Superior Court,
Room 3, by Holmes and McCalllster, at
torneys.
It is said that the defendent was ar
rested on a charge of contributing to
delinquency and trial set in Juvenile
Court for July 29. 1919. A change of
venue was taken to Criminal Court, it !a
said, and the defendant was fined $390
and costs and sentenced to serve sit
months on the Indiana State Farm. This
finding wax appealed to the Supreme
Court of Indiana, where It was reversed.
That the trial In Criminal Court con
sumed three days and that eight copies
of a ninety-three page brief were pre
pared aDd filed preparatory to taking the
appeal are given as reasons why the
plaintiffs are entitled to a finding in their
favor.
Os the SI,OOO. which, it is alleged, the
Mayhew woman agreed to pay to the
attorneys, only $55 had been paid the
suit says. A judgement for the remain
der. $945, is asked.

INDEPENDENCE
OF MANCHURIA
CHANG’S TRUMP
Defeated Mukden War Lord
Massing His Troops on
Lwan River.
WU RECONSTRUCTS ARMY
PEKIN, May 13.-Uhang Tso-Lin, de
feated Mukden war lord, today was be
lieved to be preparing to play his last
card—the declaration of the Independ
ence of Manchuria.
His retreating forces, once more under
discipline, are massed along the Lwan
River. They occupy strong defensive po
sitions at the point where the Pekln-
Mukden ra'iroad crosses the Lwan River
find Lwan Chow.
(Lwan Chow is about 200 miles north
east of Tien Tain and is well within the
great wall. It Is In Chihli province and
more than 500 miles southwest of Mukden,
capital of Feugtlen province, Chang's
stronghold.)
President nsu has offered Chang Tso-
Lin'e office as Supertuchun of the three
Manchurian provinces, to two men and
appointment has been refused by both.
There Is a definite feeling here that
Chang Tso-Lin will never capitulate with
out a struggle. Developments since his
defeat Indicate he never had a chance to
fight for Pekin due to his betrayal by
trusted generals.
Because of the strategic position of
Manchuria with reference to Siberia,
Chang has the possible support of Japan
which is another source of strength to
be considered.
Wu Pel Lu is busily engaged ’.n con
structing his position. His main army
Is located at Chung Laing Chen. He
has appointed his best general, Feng
Yuh Slang, as governor of Honan, oust
i ing the former governor of the province
on a charge of revolting against Wu’s
authority.
There have been no developments in
President Hu's office to reform his cabi
net. Candidates for the premiership are
believed to be waiting a definite mili
tary dec'slon before coinmlttng themselves
on the at oolntment.
That dagger still exists from the south
Is the telief here, although the situa
tion there is clouded with uncertainty.
