UNREST OVER COUNTRY CHARGED
TO TOO MUCH TALK AND TOO
LITTLE ACTION IN WASHING TON

to say impossible, is worth expert
menting WITH" is about the way they
put il in their own language. In Indi-
ana politics is both pastime and a
nightmare.
All of the churches and most of the
civic organizations have endorsed the
league of nations as turned over to
the senate by the president
The man on the street however,
persists in taking a political view Of
it. If he is a republican he is against
it for reasons that have nothing to do
with the merits or dement's of it, 1t
was framed and advocated by dem
ocratic president-~that is enough for
him. indianapolis democrats are for
the league of nations without the
change of a comma, because the dem
ocratic president sponsors it.
In developing the aspects of the
senatorial controversy enumerated
above, AM reaching the conclusions set
forth, 1 employed the same methods
of sounding public sentiment that
proved successful in other cit
les. | went among all sorts OF people,
devoting the larger part Of the probe
to the man on the street"
The results were pretty generally
the same as attended my efforts in
the other cities, with one fairly i'm
portant difference. This difference
was reflected by the lack of intelli-
gent information on the part of the
average citizen encountered during the
regarding the provisions of the league
of nations and of the character of dis
senting opinion contained in the res
ervations proposed by former Senator
Taft, ex-senator Root, Senators Lodge,
Borah and Johnson and Judge
Hughes. Few of the men | talked
with had read these reservations with
any degree of thoroughness. Most of
them said that they had read the
headlines" One or two of them had
devoted more than casual attention toI
Mr.. Roots suggestion, and seemed toI
like it. These men were of course re-
publicans.
OF the cross currents of opinions
developed by my inquiry in Indian
apolis, the following were most inter

A Salvation Army Exhorter-The
debates in the senate are most inter

Washington, Aug. S.-Blanket au-
thority to bring out all the facts about
Mexican outrage on Americans and
American property, ana to formula T.
remedial program. was given to the
foreign relations committee today by
the senate.
BY unanimous vote a resolution di-
recting the inquiry was adopted after
its provisions had been stiffened in
committee so as to make subject 10
investigation ANY and all acts of the
governments of Mexico and it's CitiZehs

Fail Named Chairman.
Later Chairman Lodge named a
subcommittee headed by Senator Fall
republican, New Mexico, to do the
actual work of examining witnesses
and collecting information. The sub
committee will begin its task within
few days.
The provision authorizing the COM
m1ttee also to ecofnmend what neas-
ures should be taken to prevent fur
ther outrages was added on the sug-
gestion of Senator Ashurst, democrat,
Arizona. Under this clause it is eX-

ton.
In the opinion of some foreign re-
lations members the task before the
committee will be a matter of months.
VIII Investigate Thoroughly.
Senator FAN made it clear tonight
that his subcommittee would take fun
advantage of the broad authorization
conferred and would not be sparing
of time or resources IN its attempt to
uncover the whole story of Mexican
infringement on American rights dur
ing recent years. 1t IS thought likely
that the work of the subcommittee
will take it to the Mexican border to
investigate conditions there and may
bring before it some of the high Of

Besides Senator Fall, the members are
Senators Brandagee, republican, Con-
necticut, and Smith. democrat, Ari-
ZOna.
The resolution authorizing the in
quiry was introduced by Senator King,
democrat, Utah. The original plan of
republican leaders was to have an in
VeStigating committee composed of
both senate and house members, and
a joint resolution for that purpose
was blocked IN the house.

that the men were refusing to re-

MUCH MONEY IS
BACKING LABOR'S
TR|PART|TE PLAN
Glenn E, Plumb Says Unless
Railroads Are Taken Out of
CapitaIiStiC Control Rev0-
luton is Sure to Come,

Washington, Aug. S.--All day long
from a witness chair before the house
, interstate commerce committee,
Glenn f. Plumb. counsel for the rail-
road brotherhoods and author of or
ganized labors plan for tri-partite
control of the railroads. responded to-
day to sharp questioning by the semi
circle of committee members who
called on him to explain every phase
of the labor bill.
Through al! Mr.. Plumb clung stead
faStly to the assertion that the rail-
roads unions aimed ito eliminate the
motive of operation for profit and
substitute the motive of operation for
service to which he added the cOrol-
larry that lit means democracy in in
dustry, without which democracy in
politics is a mere shell and sham"
GraVely, Plumb talked of revolu-
ton as an alternative IN case the
adoption of some such plan" was not
obtained b. political action through
congress, and said that was the de
termination of the masses of men
whom he represented though | hope
never to live to see the day"
The income of the Plumb plan
league, organized to forward the labor
bills passage. he said, was "in the
neighborhood Of 100000 or $125.000
annually now" though only organized
in July He intimated that it's in
come shortly would be 100000 and
implied that it might run uD to five
or six millions. All of it, he said, was
coming from brotherhood members.
THE situation is that our men be-
lteve they have come to a new day."
Plumb told the committee. THEY
have spent their money and their
lives to secure liberty, and have now
found that without liberty and democ-
racy in industry they have only the
shell of liberty to live. We intend to
get it lawfully and through the con-
stitution b. the ballot"

a telegram from authorities of Wa
baunsee county, Kansas, who declared
King was wanted for murder He is
being held in the county Jail await
ing further particulars and advices
from the Kansas authorities.

Reuben Gutshall, who disappeared
five years ago, was found in a shed
on property formerly occupied by
Rufe King and following an outdoor
inquest held on the farm, a warrant
for Kings arrest in Colorado was is
sued.
According to the evidence. the shed
has been kept under paddock since
Gutshall disappeared, and it is stated
in which the skeleton was discovered
that King has paid rent on the place
through his attorney since he left
there about a year ago.
The bones were found in a gunny-
sack when the place was sod and the
shed was being cleaned out under the
supervision of Kings agent. The
workman showed a skull he found to
citizens and it resulted in an inquest
being held. Relatives of Gutshall de-
clared they could positively identify
the remains.

Gutshall is the third man to have
disappeared at Maple Hill in the last
ten years. John Woody and itinerant
jewe'ry peddler were the others. 1t is
stated that each of the three men sold
their horses to King shortly before
they disappeared. King is said to have
told persons that he received letters
from Gutshall and Woody after they
disappeared, but when asked to see
the letters, he always said he had lost
them. A quantity of cheap jewelry
was found in the shed near the skele-
ton.
Friends state that Gutshall was sup
posed to have had several hundred
dollars before he disappeared.

ing the high cost of living. but at the
same time declared permanent re.
suits could not be expected until peace
time basis were fully restored by rat
lflCatiOn of the peace treaty.
High prices, the president told con
sress, were not justified by short
age of supplies either present or
prospective, but were created in many
cases "artificially and deliberately, ,"
by vicious practices" Retailers. he
said, were responsible in large part for
eXtortionate prices.
Strikes, the president warned the
labor world, would only make matters
worse and those who sought to en-
plOy threats or coercion were only
preparing their own destruction"
Leaders of organized labor, the presi-
dent said, he was sure would pres
emily yield to second sober thought.
Illegal" and criminal" were the
words the president used in charac-
teri2ing the methods by which some
present day prices have been brought
about.
VIII Use Present Law.
Present laws, he said, would be
energetically employed to the limit TO
force out food boards, and meet the
situation so far as possible, but to
supplement the existing statutes he
specifically urged the following:
Licensing of all corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce with
specific regulations designed to Sc
cure competitive selling and preven:
'unconscionahle profits in the meth
cd of marketing.
Extension of the food control act
to peace times and the application of
it's provisions against boarding to
fuel clothing and other necessities of
life as well as food
A penalty in the food control for
prOfiteering
A law regulating cold storage, linn
iting the time during which goods
may be held: prescribing a method
of dispcsing Of them If held beyonl
The permitted period and requiring
that when released goods bear the
date of storage.
Interstate Regulations.
Laws requiring that goods released
from storage for interstate commerce
bear the selling prices at which they
went into storage and requiring that
all goods destined for interstate com
merce bear the price at which they
left the hands of the producer.
Enactment of the pending bill for
the control of security issues
Additional appropriations for gov
eminent agencies which can supply
the public with full information as to
prices at which retailers buv
Early ratification of the peace
treaty so that the free processes Of
supply and demand can operate"
Immediate steps by executive
agencies of the government promises
by the president include:
The limiting and controlling OF
wheat shipments and credits to faCill-
tate the purchase of wheat in such
way as not to raise, but rather to
lower the price of flour at home.

BISHOP N. C. cLEAVEs, D. D.

BISHOP N. g. CLEANGS' ~ "
Those who failed to hear Bishop
Cieaves and the singing of the thour
last Sunday at Jamison Temple o.
M. e. Church. under the pastorate OF
Rev. Walker, missed one OF the great
spiritual treats of the season. Inc
sermon by Bishop Cleaves was WITHIN
itself Of inestimable value. Our tlrst
thought of the Bishop is of the great
p~reacher. But he is the great preach
ar ecaus he is, first of all, the great
man. and il is of the man itself, the
man behind the sermon, with Whlch
this comment has to do. Blshop
Cleayes is IA of the men OF our DAY
and race. whose words We never TIRE
of hearing. One sermon Will De on
the true distinction between the woru
thai expresses energy and the woru
tina expresses grinding and fatigue
A lecture will be gven on democracy
and again it will be on manners, both
Of which we find many things to sleze
the mind. Another sermon Will be on
religion And he will present 1t IN
such a manner as to convince the
doubter that religion is nothing other
than the divine life in the human soul,
a life which manifests itself by the
growth which brings forth, the divine
flowers of the human heart, unseI'
fishness. love, fearlessness, serenity
patience and service. And the ser
mons and lectures of Bishop CleaVes
are always worthy and the Treatments
are always fertile because his mind Is
full. When the mind of mar is Iull'
like a wholesome river, it is also
clear. Even in the social circle ing
bishop is always in demand and mucn
sought after. because Of his genial
manner and intensely interesting con
versation. His knowledge Of the
world, acquired through study and eX'
tensiye travel: his ability to describe
in the clearest English, the scenes
and incidents through which he mas
passed; his description of the many
eminent men he has met and CONVEX
sed with make him the center OF a
group of interested listeners in any
gathering.
When Bishop Cleaves emphasized
the possibility of erecting the super
structure of Jamison Temple, c. NJ. E..
Church by 1922 the yoic" Of approval
from the congregation proved that
we are the most enthusiastic people
in the world. There are others more
excitable, but there are none so en-
thusiastic. And the OF enthu-
siasm signifies-God in us. Despite
this fact, the consensus of opinion
is that Bishop Cleaves touched the
heart of the people in this city as
never before. Let him be with us
again and in the Jamison auditorium
of the near future touch our hearts
and remind US that we are beings OF
reality and inheritors of eternity.
