SAY LITTER HIDES
PARKING SIGNS
Auto Owners Arrested Tell of
Market Conditions.

That tho filthy conditions in the vi
entity of the city market were respon
slble for the arrests Of many well mean
ing citizens on the charges of parking
in the safety zone was evident from the
testimony offered in city court today
More than 100 alleged traffic law vio-
lators appeared in court today, and
in each case Judge Walter Pritchartl
continued the charge indefinitely.
Thlrty-eight OF these were charged
with violating the ordinance forblddlng
the parking of automobiles in safety
zones, and about ten of the thirty-ei
told the court that the barrels, boxc1
and other litter in the vicinity of tn,
city market covered the safety zonn
signs In such way that they did nc.
know they had parked in a safety zona
until they returned and found the red
sticker on their wind shield orderias
them to appear in city court.
One man from Chicago was arrested
twice in fifteen minutes, he told the
court.
He was charged with leaving his auto
mobile larked without the light burning.
and he had hardly scratched one red
sticker off his windshield before a Sec
ond officer put another sticker on, charg-
ing him with parking IN a safety zone.
He explained to the court that he
would be careful in the future to obey
the traffic laws and the charges were
continued indefinitely.

ON DANZIG BY
HUNLABORERS
Germans Establish Soviet and
Refuse Dockage to
French.

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-German workmen
in Danzig have proclaimed a soviet, ac-
cording to reports received here to-
day.
The SOY let Immediately announced
BLOCKADE OF Poland" and refused TO
permit the French cruiser GueydOn to
dock.
British Commissioner Sir Reginald
Tower declared he would not be re-
sponsible for results if the cruiser at
tempted to unload its cargo of am
munitions intended for the Polish army.
The Gueydon, in company with the
French cruiser Marsellsise, left Cher
bourg, France, last week for Danzig.
Peace negotiations are being conduct
ed simultaneously between Russia and
Poland and Russia and Lithuahia.
The latest advices on the military stu
alton led German military experts to ex-
press the belief that the Polish counter
offensive had reached the limit Of its
success.
The advance Of President Pilsudski's
army In the center vas said TO have
slowed down, while the bolsheviki were
reported to have launched counter at
tacks on both the northern and southern
fronts.
Refusal Of neutral workers TO trans
port munitions to the Poles was believed
to have endangered seriously Pcland's
supplies.
On the other hand. the Russians can
bring up additional munitions without
outside interference.

THAT SOUTH
STREET BE FIXED
Transfer Association Appeals
to Board of Works.

The board of public works was re-
quested by the indianapolis Transfer as
ISOLATION today to hasten, II possible, the
completion 0f repairs on South street in
the district in which most OF the freight
stations of the city are located.
Bids were received upon number Of
unimportant improvements.
The letter Of w. q. Kreis, president
Of the transfer association, calling upon
the board to try TO do something with
South street, follows:
The most important single street in
indianapolis from civic, commercial
and Industrial point Of view Is South
street, because South street is the pres
cnt artery of traffic for all commercial
shipments from all manufacturers. JOB
bers wholesalers and retailers as a con
Meeting artery between freight houses,
warehouses and the above interests.
For three years the condition OF
south street has made traffic over this
thoroughfare a real menace to these in
terests and If You will remember during
the early part of last fall this associa
ton made number Of desperate appeals
to your administrative offices Of the city.
At that time we were made reasonably
sure that before weather conditions pre-
vented repair work this street would be
put into perfect condition.
You know that this was not done. and
now as another winter lis approaching
the shipping, receiving and carriage firms
of indianapolis are looking forward with
4 dread that perhaps another winter win
come on with this work unfinished
Is It not possible through your admin
istrative department to do the unusual
thing to bring about the pressure neces-
sary to give the civic and industrial in
terests of indianapolis the relief which
the complete repair of this street win
afford?
TO REMOVE
CAR TRACKS.
The board informed a delegation of
residents Of Northwestern avenue, be-
tween Thirty fourth and Thirty sixth
streets, that 1t will order the Terre
Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction
Company to remove its tracks, now run
ming along the street SO as to almost
touch the private property line, to the
center Of the street 8s coon as IL Sc paved.
The residents complained last week
that they understood the traction com

closer to their homes.

CITY HALLGANG
GETS READY TO
SOUNDCOUNCIL
Bond Issues Necessary to
Carry Out Much Talked
Improvements.
8 PROJECTS DOUBTFUL

With the annual budget and tax levy
out of their hands and before the city
council, heads of executive departments
at the City hall today were discussing
plans to bring before the council within
the next few weeks the various bond is
sues necessary to carry out improve
ments which have been discussed for more
than a year.
It is understood members Of the eoun-
ell who attended the conference with
heads Of departments at the City hall
last Thursday evening indicated that they
are wondering why the mayor and de-
partment heads keep talking about the
council holding up improvements when
ordinances authorizing them are never
put before the legislative body.
City Controller Robert Fl. Bryson said
ne expects a conference of department
heads and council members to be called
some time next week at which the va
rious bond issues will be brought up and
thrashed out.
1t is thought the Jewett administration
does not want openly to trust it's pet
projects to the mercies of the council,
which has been anything but tender here
tofore, without first ascertaining just how
much the council will stand for.
Among the bond issues to be dis
cussed are the following:
For a nurses home at the city hos
pital, approximately $500 900.
For the motorization of the fire de-
partment, approximately $500, 900.
For the rehabilitation of the city
market, approximately S125,0
For the construction of the munich
pal yards at KENTUCKY avenue and
DrOver streets, approximately $780,
600.
Upon the first of these matters it is not
expected very much opposition Will be
encountered in the council because it Is
measure more or less vital to the pub
lie health, but with the latter three Jew
EFT leaders do not hope to get by" with
out considerable maneuvering.
Several members OF the council already
have let it be known that they will NOS
