Secretary Glass Warns
Against Bond ScaIpers

Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass has issued the following state,
ment, which is of interest to every
Liberty Loan and War Savings
worker
My attention has been directed to
the activities of INSCRIPTIONS persons
who have been operating extensively
throughout the country and who are
swindling the owners Of Liberty Bonds
ing these securities far below their
actual worth.
these swindlers get the attention
of security holders by publishing ad
vertisements calculated 20 make the
unsuspecting believe that the highest
market price can be secured for his
bonds through the agency of the ad
veriser. Such is rarely, if ever, the
case. Records of transactions of this
character, brought to the attention Of
the department Of justice and the
treasury department prove conclusive
ly that these swindlers take every ad-
vantage of bond owners who are
the lowest possible price which the
owner will accept-and generally far
below the actual value of the bonds
Il regret to observe that many
reputable newspapers are being vic
timized by accepting the advertise
ments of these swindlers and l appeal
to all newspaper publishers to scruti-
nize very carefully the character of
individuals who use their columns to
offer to buy Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps. | believe that it is
the duty of publishers to protect their
readers against INSCRIPTIONS adver-
tisers.
Other swindlers endeavor to trade
worthless articles or securities of lit
tie value for Liberty Bonds and | APP
peal to patriotic publishers to assist
IN putting an end to this practice.
THE treasury department will take
such steps as are possible under the
law to protect the interests of Liberty
Bond holders, and will use every
means at its command to bring to JUS
tee all who seek to defraud the people
who have so periodically assisted in
winning the war by investing their
savings in Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps
owners of these government secur-
lies should under no circumstances
par with them unless necessity com
pels, and then they should daa! oalv
sith reliable banks, trust companies.

235 CRIMINAL CASES
DROPPED BY FREEMAN

Motion to dismiss two hundred and
thirty-five criminal cases on the docket
of the Wayne county circuit court was
made Saturday morning by Prosecutor
Gath Freeman.
This is among the largest number
of criminal cases ever dismissed in
one motion in any court in America.
All the cases were veterans of three
or more terms of court.
Two cases of first degree murder
are among those which may be dis
missed. One, against Eli Carr, is the
result of the killing of two policemen
by Carr three years ago, one of the
most sensational murders in Rich.
,nond history. AS Carr pleaded guilty
to one of the charges, and was sent to
prison for life, it would not be
necessary to press the other count,
officials say. The other murder charge
is against Joseph Barbata, and dates
from November 10. 1916.
The oldest case among the 235 is
against William Armstrong for petit
larceny, filed in April, 1910. Elkenah
Simmons, now insane, was charged
with the same offense in 1910.
Fifteen grand larceny cases, 5 Of
assault and battery with intent TO
kill, IA for ENLIGHTENMENT, IA for for
gerry, 3 for passing fraudulent checks,
s for burglary, and three for keeping
houses of ill fame, are among the more
serious charges dismissed.

STATE LOAN OFFICER
COMING TO RICHMOND

A member of the state liberty loan
organization is to come to Richmond
early next week to investigate the To-
cal problem in selecting chairman
for the coming Victory loan drive. and
to attempt a solution.
Wayne county is the only one OF
ninety-two counties in Indiana that
has not yet secured a chairman for
the next liberty. loan, and quick action
is imperative.
The loan committee has not yet
found a volunteer for this important
place, after the withdrawal of Earl
Adams Clark of Fountain City. Ev-
cry man approached has pleaded that
the press of business would keep hip
from taking the place.

DISCUSSES TEACHING
OF MOTHER TONGUE

DR.. R. L. LYMAN of the University
of Chicago, discussed the important
and leading feature of teaching the
mother tongue, before the teachers
institute at the high school Saturday
morning at 1890 o'clock.
There is movement on foot" said
DR. LYMAN, through legislation in
the states, which shall place the
teaching of English on footing which
it should be in the grades. There is
a great deal of hysteria just at pres
ent about teaching foreign languages.
No intelligent person would desire
that foreign languages be discarded
when they are in their proper place.
I'VE are largely discarding the ap-
proach to the literary and linguistic
artistry and substituting for it the
tool aspect of the mother tongue. The
most important tool that is being con-
sidered is that of reading, which is
the tool of thought getting. Writing
and speaking are the every day tools
of thought using.

SOLUTION OF
[continued From Page one.1


to the discussion of the article of the
league of nations covenant which pro-
vides for coercive measures against
a state breaking relations with the
league without submitting its griev-
ances to the executive body of the
league. Amendments were prepared
STIMULATING that force might be used
only in case of necessity that it might
be brought to bear only after eco
nomic pressure had been insufficient
and that small states might decline to
take warlike steps.
Agree on Armament.
Lord Robert Cecil, who presided,
said that if small states were allowed
to refrain from military action, the
forces of other states should be given
permission to pass over their territor-
les.
Premier Venize1os of Greece de-
clared incidentally during the discus
sion that purely defensive alliances
would be allowed under the league of
nations covenant.
The principle that ornaments should
be reduced to a minimum was rec
cognized by the conference.
The supreme war council will hold
another meeting this morning at IL
o'clock according to an official state
ment issued here Friday night. The
statement reads:
1.-The supreme war council met this
afternoon from 3 to p. m
1.-THE different aspects of the Polish
question were considered and also the
transport of General Hallers troops
to Poland.
"The next meeting will take place
at II a. m. on Saturday"

OF BOARD
OF WORKS IS PLANNED

AS the result of private meeting
of nine members of council, proposal
to do away with the present board of
works and substitute a board to be
made up of Matthew VonPein, ]. F.
Thatcher, and another councilman,
probably. will be presented at council
at the next meeting.
AS the proposed new board members
would serve for a salary of $3.50 apiece
and devote good part of their time
to the work, as against 5000 salary Civ
en- each of the present board, a total
of $4,000, sponsors of the scheme see
saving to the city of almost $4,000 d
year.
The law says that cities Of the third
class may create or abolish their board
Of works at any time.
William n. Johnson, president of the
board of works, said that the whole
thing was a complete surprise to him,
as he had no intimation that any such
thing was in the minds of council.

GRAIN QUOTATIONS
E. w. WAGNER & co.'s REVIEW

CHICAGO, March 22-May corn and
oats advanced to new high levels as
a result of buying of small lots
through commission houses. Omaha
was big seller of corn today but the
selling did not counter-balance the
buying until late in the session when
additional pressure developed through
the weakness in the cash corn market
The cash corn situation continues any
thing but satisfactory with the east
cancelling purchases in this market.
Strength in barley had some effect
upon corn values. The local element
continues following the corn advances.
Oats is showing Independent strength
caused by their relative chcapness in
comparison with corn.

Wayne Farms Valued
At $l35 to $40 Per Acre

The best Wayne county farm land
is to be valued at $135 to S140 an
acre, exclusive of improvements, and
the valuations of farm land are to be
graded down from this figure by the
personal judgment of the assessors,
it was decided Saturday morning at
a meeting of the real estate assessors
with County Assessor Mathews.
Rush and Shelby counties value
their land on the average at $125 an
acre, and the Wayne average valua-
ton is expected to be slightly over
this figure.
