DAVIES RECORD
NOT ONLY DARK
SPOT IN G. @. p.
Finger Points at Others Who
VIII Not Bear Up Under
Close Scrutiny.
WATSON MADE TARGET

Republicans Of Indiana are in a
quandary over the problem of what IS
% be done relative TO the record of Ora
Davies, their candidate for state treas
urer, who, The Times first revealed, went
short In his accounts while treasurer Of
Howard county
There Is a disposition on the part of the
candidates and some state leaders to in
sist that the party remove Davies from
the ticket
But there are several reasons why this
course does not meet with universal ap-
prevail
Friends of MI Davies insist that be
does not deserve such treatment that
Il Is up to all republicans to stand to-
gether and 1t would be a weakening ad-
mission Of the incompetency of the con-
vention TO select party candidates to
remove Davies now.
They also point out that the Indian
cpoIs News, in its desperate efforts TO
discredit Senator Watson as a party
leader, has asserted that Watson is re-
sponsible for Davies being on the ticket.
SIZE REMOVAL AS SLAP
AT WATERING WATSON.
They say that TO remove Davies would
be a slap at Watson that would further
weaken him in the eyes Of republicans
and they admit that he is now too weak
TO make a successful race against Thomas
Taggart without the track being cleared
in his favor.
But the thing that makes the removal
Of Davies from the ticket most danger
Gus to the republicans is the fact that
it will establish a precedent for the
handling of other candidates on the state
ticket
Certain republican leaders know that
Davies Is not the only weak spot" on
the state ticket. They fear that if a
precedent is established by removing
him, they will be called upon to follow
the same course in reference to at least
one other candidate on the state ticket
and possible more with the ultimate
result that the republican state ticket
at the election will be so widely differ
ent from that nominated at the conven-
ton that il viii not bear much a re-
semblanee to the so-called party
choice"

some even pecking at the glass. When

Right now is a good time to feed the
birds, in town and country. Hang up
a few ears of corn in the fruit and

some oats and seeds where the crate

She Married an Averaqe Man

death which we cannot help, but
through discord which we should have

Jim's letter out and read it again in
the friendly sunshine and the com.
partnership of romping children.

this passage: Il may have been at

failures am profoundly sorry"

and flying to the nearest telegraph
office. What a relief it would be to
call Jim back, to confess that we had
both been at fault, l more than he

a deeper understanding!

WEST SIDE SCHOOL
PLANS HURRIED AS
RESULTS Of MEETING

No further steps In plans for the
new West Side junior high school
were taken by the city board of public
education in session with Superin-
tendent J. H. Bentley in the confer
ence chamber at the high school Fri
Cay night, although the plans were
further discussed.
Every effort will be made to hurry
preliminary steps on the building, and
actual construction work will be
started with as much expediency as
possible, Superintendent Bentley said
Saturday morning.
Crowded conditions in the senior
high school with the opening of the
spring semester have increased the
need for the west side school, the
board believes.
Because of crowded rooms at War
ner school on North Seventh street,
number of pupils enrolled at that
building will be transferred to Finley
school on South Fifth street. With
this balancing of pupils the last
vacant school room in the city will be
filed at Finley school.
Mrs. Woodgie Elliot Teaford. who
has been substituting in the CONNER
cial department of the high school was
officially appointed member of the
high school staff. Mrs. Teaford will
serve part time.

SENATE SHOULD GET
BUSY, SAYS ASHURST

WASHINGTON, jar. 24.-Assailing
the senate for inaction on the peace
treaty. soldier legislation. and other
domestic measures. Senator Ashurst,
Democrat, of Arizona, in what he char
acterized as "non-partisan" speech,
declared Friday that both Republi-
cans and Democrats in the senate
were playing politics. while the coun-
try and the world waited for action"
Neither side was making a good rec
ord, Senator Ashurst said, because Is
or 20 presidential candidates were
marking time waiting to see which
way the wind of public. favor blows"
Throughout the nation said the
senator, sentiment is growing in ia
vor of a man who has no party affil-
iations we know of, because the peo-
pie know he is man of action and
not of words"
Should Get Busy.
Il should like to see the next pres
ident come from the senate, but l
know the people of the country are
disguised with our kind of statesman
ship. The peace treaty is lodged here
in the senate because of partisan pol
itics, while the other nations of the
world go forward with the liquidation
of their liabilities and the reconstruc-
ton of their commerce.
THE treaty cannot be ratified as
it stands, all sane men know. but we
should stay here and vote and vote
and vote until we ratify it in some
shape and not sit and wait for the
president to recede from his position,
for we all know he con not do that
honcrably.
I'VE should take up the treaty today.
l assure you that the president would
be the most delighted man in this
country to learn that we on this side
could do something Of our own Volt
tion."

"Miraculous Virgin" in
Metz Result of Shadow
(By Associated Press)

METZ, Jan. 24.-EXcitement among
the people of Noveant, small village
near here over the supposed appear
ance of the Virgin near church yard
has been Gained by an investigation
conducted by religious authorities. 1t
was said the apparition appeared at
certain time each day, seeming to
stand on the steps Of a little village
and much credence was given the
stories of those who claimed to have
witnessed the phenomenon.
Father Bentz who made a careful
inquiry, posted himself one evening at
a point where others claimed to have
seen the Virgin and at once solved the
mystery. He found two trees some
distance away which, just at sunset,
cast a shadow presenting clear out
line of a statue of the Madonna, the
resemblance being very striking.
Bishop Ruch OF Metz, commenting
son the case said when it was ex-
tplained to him: 1--WE must not expect
too many miracles. We have just

PLAN WAITED FOR

(By Associated Press


WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-With only
a few inquiries from business inter
ests to inspire Independent action, the
state department is awaiting the de-
velopment and disclosure of the plans
Of the allied nations for the lifting Of
the blockade against Russia, and the
resumption of the exchange of raw
materials and manufactured articles
The original American idea was
strictly limited to the establishment
of stations as near as possible to the
Bolshevik lines where food and medi-
zines and other necessaries might be
supplied to the inhabitants and 1t was
not contemplated that there should be
any recognition of the soviet govern
ment. Practical application of that
idea was given in Siberia where COM
munication had been made with the
cooperative societies.
1t was said today by officials that il
the entente governments discovered
any means of exchanging goods with
the Russian civilian population and
maj.ing sure that these goods got into
the right hands without recourse to
the Bolshevik government probably
the United States would be glad to
follow their course.
Both officials emphasized it was
not contemplated to have any com.

ment that could in any way be con-
strued as a political recognition of its
legitimacy.
