viii Discuss Plans
for New G.. G.. Building

A dinner meeting of the membership
of the Indianapolis Chamber of Com
mercei has been called for Thursday
Dec. 16, at 6:30 o'clock, at which plans
for the erection of a new Chamber Of
Commerce building will be discussed.
In a message sent by John B. Rey-
nolds, general secretary, TO the member-
ship, he says: at is hoped that the at
tendance will so tax the facilities that
need of a new building will once more
be demonstrated.
"The Chamber of Commerce has been
working under difficulties for several
years through lack of adequate facili-
ties" says Mr.. Reynolds.
THE Chamber of Commerce building
In Indianapolis should be one Of the big
gest buildings in the city. 1t not only
should be big enough to house the
Chamber with all its many activities, but
should afford meeting places for, lunch
clubs, snch as the Rotary, KiwaniS and
0ptimist Clubs. and other such organi-
zations."

HARDING VIEWS
COL. HARVEY'S
LEAGUE PLAN
Proposed Association Members
Would Abstain From War
Without Referendum.
IDEA STIRS SPECULATION

MARION, Ohio, Dec. 14.-Practical
politics crowded the League Of Nations
into the background today as President
elect Harding turned his attention to a
list of political callers.
Harding was also considering seriously
the proposal Of Col. George Harvey for
an association OF nations in which mem-
bers would be pledged to abstain from
offensive warfare without a referendum
OF their peoples.
The suggestion reused instant specula-
tion here. Although Harding himself re-
fused to discuss the proposal, it was
noted that an official statement describ-
ing Colonel Harveys plan was issued
through Harding headquarters.
This statement described the idea as
one (which dwarfs all previous PROPOSE
tons designed to perpetuate peace ana
TO demOcratize the world"
The fact that the Harvey plan was
sprung Immediately after Elihu Root, a
league friend, had talked to Harding, led
some to view it as a step to cOunteract
the effect of the visit Of Hughes. Hoover
and Root. three league advocates.
The suggestion includes the idea of an
association Of nations which Harding put
forth during the campaign, but the plan
entirely new feature.
Bishop William F. Anderson of Gin
cinnati, conferred briefly with Harding
regarding the League of Nations. He
suggested reservations covering Article
10, Shsntung and proposed that member
ship be open to all nations.
ExPresident Taft will be the next
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, IN
the opinion Of Harding's closest advisers
today.
Chief Justice White is understood TO
be planning to retire from the bench
shortly after the new administration
comes in. The second vacancy under
the Harding administration viii be filed
by ex-senator George Sutherland OF Utah,
it is believed.
The treasury post now appears likely
TO 90 to some Middle Western man, such
as George r. Reynolds or Harry \.
Wheeler, both Chicago bankers.

SAYS DOORS NOT
SHUT BY REPEAL
Van Nuys Declares Other
Statutes Apply to Miners.

Repeal OF the Lever law without a
saving clause which would permit the
prosecution Of f25 coal miners and oper-
ators 10 proceed in Federal Court here,
would not necessarily mean that the de-
PENDANTS will be free from all prDAecu-
tion for reported yioiatiois, united
States District Attorney Frederick Van
Nuys said today.
The House OF Representatives in
Washington yesterday passed an act re-
pealing the Lever law, under which the
local coal case was brought. II Is now
MP TO the Senate. Local Federal author
tiles believe the repeating act contains
a saving clause" which would specific
ally provide that litigation pending un-
der the law Is not stopped by the re-
peal but they have received no definite
information.
Even II there is no saving clause In
the repeating act" Mr. Van Nuys said,
lit does not follow that these defendants
will 20 free. OF course, it would be IL
legal to proceed with the case under the
present Indictment. but there Is moth
ing 10 prevent the Government from pro-
ceeding under other statutes"
Mr.. Van Nuys would not elaborate on
this statement However. IL Is known
that ut the time the Government Arst
started to investigate the operations Of
the conl men there was prolonged dis
cussicn rs TO whether the indictment
should be drawn under the sherman anti.
trust law instead OF the Lever law. II
1t is necessary to carry on the prosecu-
ton under other legislation It is thought
It will be under the sherman act
With the Federal Rrurd jury in SEES
sion Mt the present time and with
further investigation OF the coal miners
and operators announced by Mr.. Van
Nuys to be on the program It Is thought
the Government easily could take action
under the Sherman law, since a great
mass Of evidence has been put in shape
by Department of Justice agents.

LODGE SPEECH IS GIVEN O. K. BUTT LACKED THE PUNCH Surging Crowd Stages Usual Scramble When Convention Doors Are
 Thrown Open
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Chicago, June 8.-(Spe- cial. )-Like Senator Harding four years ago, Senator Lodge today delivered a keynote" speech which had been sub- mitted to certain "standpat" bosses, edited by them and thus approved.
 It was lacking in originality and featured principally by an attack against President Wilson. the demo- cratic administration and surpris- ingly insistent appeal to the bloody shirt
 When his first reference to the Civil war did not receive the encouraging response he anticipated he delivered his second in the following language: not fail in 1920" Then 1t was that the claque resorted to prolonged vocal exertion.
 Senator Lodge of seventy summers is not the vigorous individual he was when last he delivered a keynote ad- dress. Though exerting himself to the utmost and though 1 hv sound ing boards and tubes
 ing power, he failed to reach the ru- mote sections of the Coliseum, and there was considerable groanings on the part of goaded delegates befote the completion of ,.-a S,000word address.
 As usual first convention
 days, the mob without credentials
 stormed futiIeIy the various en-
 frances, and the policemen. aS
 usual, lost their tempers.. The
 surging crowd, however, complete.
 ly routed the Irish and suffrage
 pickets, tearing down their ban-
 ners. trampling them in high good
 humOr underfOot, and forcing the
 women beat precipitatc retreatA
 in efforts to protect their souls N
 and bodies.
 And thus the convention was initi- ated. Balloting will be in order Thurs day. But for the deadlock which is apparently assured the work could be complet-i by Saturday night.
