New York.-Despite the terrific
heat wave that had visited New
York for two days previous to the
Farewell Reception to DR.. Chain
Weizmann on Thursday, June p,
Carnegie Hall was packed by an
eager throng OF. representative
Jews who came to bid Godspeed
to the Zionist leader, and to hear
his parting message before his re-
turn to England and Palestine.
The Farewell Reception equall-
ed, if it did not exceed, the en-
thusiasm witnessed at the cycle
of meetings that have been held
in many cities in the United
States and Canada during the
visit of the Zionist Leader and
his colleagues, who come to
arouse the interest of American
Jews in the Keren Hayesod pal
estine Foundation FUND.-.
Mr.. Morris Rothenberg,
member of the Administrative
Committee of the Zionist organ
ization Of America, who presided,
declared that measured by stan
dards of time, the three months
that have elapsed since greeting
DR.. Weizmann on his arrival in
this country was but short peri
cd, but that measured by the
significance of his visit, and the
events that have -transpired in
connection Herewith, it is an
epoch-an epoch fraught with
deep meaning and benefit to our
cause" Turning to DR.. Weiz-
mann, Mr.. Rothenberg said:
DR.. Weizmann's Farewell
Message.
At the mention of DR.. Weiz-
mann's name as the last speaker,
the audience arose and cheered
for ten minutes. The demonstra-
ton, unequalled perhaps at any
Jewish meeting, broke out with
what appeared to be fresh NOM
entum whenever the cheering
subsided momentarily in one or
another part of the great hall.
When finally he was permitted
to begin, DR.. Weizmann said, in
part:
"I feel it is sacred and pleas
ant duty to thank the high att
thorities of this great republic,
as we'll as the more humble Fed
eral and Municipal officers, who
have lavished so much kindness
and hospitality on my colleagues
and myself during Our stay here.
II take it as a measure of interest

GENERAL BLISS
ADVOCATES FORCE

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Germany
must be made to pay for the war and the
only way in which it can be determined
how much she can pay Is to use force
In securing reparations, Gen. Tasker H
Bliss, who was q member OF the Ameri-
can pence commission, said today, follow
Ing a call upon President Harding.
General Bliss said he had merely called
to pay his respects to the President and
had not discussed rcparations or other in
ternational matters.
General Bliss said he had always been
Of the opinion that the peace treaty
should have been a military treaty, and
that~recent events are making him more
completely convinced Of this.
Present events indicate that the en-
tente must continue in existence for thirty
or forty and perhaps fifty years in order
TO enforce the terms OF the treaty Of
Versailles. General Bliss said.
a military treaty he declared,
would have made It possible to put into
effect the terms Of the treaty within a
comparatively short time"
General Bliss described Germany's ap-
peal to the United States for mediation
as a rather weak effort and declared
that he was OF the opinion that not until
force was used would the entente be. able
to determine the ability Of Germany to
pay.

NEW STEPS TAKEN
IN II. S. COAL WAR
Government Moves to Dismiss
Injunction Petition.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Another
step in the governments campaign to
curb the coal operators was taken here
today.
Attorneys for the Government filed in
the District Supreme Court motion to
dismiss the injunction proceedings begun
by the National Coal Association and
John D. A. Morrow, its president, which
sought to enjoin the government from
prosecuting alleged violations of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
The Governments petition was signed
by Attorney General Daugherty, AS
sistant Attorney General Goff, L. Ert
Slack. a special assistant on coal cases,
and John e. Laskey, local district at
torney.
The petition set forth that the Nocal
court Is without jurisdiction in the mat
ter and that the suit Is, in fact, a suit
against the United States, which has not
been made a party to the proceedings
and which has not given its consent
thereto.
The Government also alleged that If
the relief is granted, as asked by the coal
association, it would operate against the
United States and not against the de-
PENDANTS.
In the injunction proceedings brought
by the coal dealers, the association asked
that the Government be prevented from
serving subpoenas calling for it's officers
to appear in indianapolis to answer an
indictment for alleged conspiracy in con-
nection with the price and supply of
coal.
Hearing on the Governments motion
was set for Monday.

PLANS 2 MILES
OF IDEAL ROAD
State Will Cooperate With
Lincoln Highway Body.

Indiana will have two miles Of ideal
road" as result of a decision by the
State highway commission today to CO.
operate with the Lincoln Highway As
sociation in constructing the road. The
proposed highway will connect the towns
of Dyer and Schererville, in Lake County.
1t will be constructed of concrete, forty
feet wide and ten inches thick.
The State highway department will
turn over to the association $33 900 for
each mile constructed. The association
will construct the road and will pay the
expense of obtaining the right-Of-way
and the expense of construction above the
$33 600 a mile to be paid by the State.
The road is a part of the Lincoln high
way and is also a part of a State road
which the commission was planning to
improve.
The improvement is the only one au-
thorized by the commission since the an
nouncement by Governor Warren I. Nc
Cray several days ago that no hard sur
face roads would be built by the State
until material and labor were cheaper.

HOWES PLAY TO
NEGROES \ FAILURE.
The News-Jewett organizations efforts
to corral the negro vote have had the ef-
feet of alternating white votes from Mr..
Howe and have so far failed to shake
the negro support Of Mr.. Robson.
Shank, who won the last primaries with
practically no negro vote, IS certain this
year to obtain large following from
among the negroes, and every negro vote
he obtains viii be a clear gain to him.

reply to President Harding which Is to

1t has been authoritatively learned that
this is the outstanding feature Of the
new proposals finally agreed upon by the
leading German statesmen after con-
ferences which lasted throughout the
night and well into this morning.
In the meantime the tentative total
which Germany will offer to pay is
understood to be far from the total de-
munded at the Paris conference, but
much larger than that which was fixed
at the recent London conference.
The offer Of this tentative total, 1t is
believed. will be 'amphfed' by a clause
providing that the total be made

SOSON STATE
BUILDING PLANS
Urge POstpOnement OF COna
structiOn Programs Till
Money Is Available.

State institutions which have building
programs authorized by the Legislature
have been asked TO postpone the work
until the State can obtain more money
with which 10 pay the expenses, 1t was
learned today. This IS one OF the first
echoes OF the ten million dollar ap-
proprlations made by the last Legisla-
ture.
The auditor Of State also has asked
counties TO forward to the State i'm
mediately co per cent OF the amount due
the State from taxes collected this
spring This action, however. IS
customary at this time Of year, 1t was
explained.
The State is faced with the problem
Of making enormous payments during
the next few months as a result OF spe
cifc and deficiency appropriations. The
specific appropriations total much high
re than usual and to this is added nearly
100000 OF deficiency appropriations
which must be paid out between now
and October /, to make up the expenses
Of running the government and the in
stitutlons Of the State until the close Of
the present fiscal year when the regular
appropriations viii become available.
In almost every case where building
programs were authorized one half Of
the amount appropriated was to be avail
able April l. None Of this has been paid
out thus far because Of the postpone
ment of the projects. 1t was pointed
out, however. that all the money avail
able April 1 would not be drawn at one
time under any circumstances. because
It would be paid out only as building
progresses, and II this is distributed
over considerable length of time the
State probably viii be able to meet the
payments.
The institutions with considerable au-
thorized building programs are: The
Central Indiana Hospital for the Insane
which received an appropriation of
$3J0,000 for new buildings and a number
of additional appropriations for repairs
the Village for Epileptics at Newcastle,
which received an appropriation Of
$2230O0 for buildings and numerous
lesser appropriations; the State Santa
rum at Rockville, with @ building ap-
preparation Of $4,000 and additional
for equipment and repairs
In addition there is an appropriation
Of $500, 600 for the removal of the re
formatory which viii be drawn on with
in a short time. This latter expense,
however. will be paid from the proceeds
of the sale Of the old institution of which
the State already has received 100000
Besides these items, nearly every in
stitution received fair sized appropria-
tlons for repairs and equipment, much
of which are now available.

tion for mayor, are the black races only

boys to take down sign reading

that If 1t wasn't taken down he was go

You also remember that the colored
men were arrested and beaten up by
Bush's sluggers right here az this very
corner when they We're coming home from

II am sure you do not forget that

ILLEGAL SHAPE
OF INDUSTRIAL
BOARD Barred
Character of Appointments
Direct Breach-DefeatS
Purpose.

The recent appointment by Governor
Warren T. McCray of Thomas A. Riley,
member of the Jewett board of works. to
place on the Indiana industrial board,
has served to call attention TO the fact
that the board has been illegally consu-
tuted for two years and as it Will be
illegally constituted when Mr.. Riley be
comes q member.
The workmen's compensation act OF
1919. page 16S, section so, reads as fol
lows:
There is hereby created the industrial
board Of Indiana which shall consist or
five members, two of whom shall be at
torneys, and not more than three Of whom
shall be of the same political party. ap-
pointed by the Governor, one of whom he
shall designate as chairman
The members Of the industrial board
at present are Samuel r. Artman, attor-
ney and former judge, and Charles Fox,
Kenneth L. Dresser, Edgar II. Perkins
and Thomas Roberts, none Of whom are
attorneys
Mr.. Riley IS not an attorney and the
board will continue to be Illegally consti-
tuted when he takes office.
The legal question involved IS whether
the awards of a board that is not con
stituted according to the law creating It
can be enforced Attorneys who have
studied the question declare that there
IS nothing to prevent the contest Of
decision Of the board granting compensa-
ton to an employe on the grounds that
it Is an Illegal board and they are Of
the opinion that such a contest would be
successful.
The purpose Of the creation Of the
board was to procure for injured en-
ployes proper compensation without com
pelling them to depend on the civil courts
for judgments. Attorneys say the way
is wide open to defeat the very purposes
Of the board at any time.

ing in the basement of the Mt. Paran

The Rev. Mr.. johnson was urging
the negro voters to get out to the
polls early May 8 and vote for
Professor Howe for mayor.
"And don't forget our own candi-
date for council, DIR. NOrrcll."
Now DR.. james r. NOrrell is ut
terly opposed to the candidacy of
Professor Howe and to the News
Jewett machine. The negroes in the
meeting were News-Jewett people for
the most part.
There was an angry grOwl and
then yells of mo. No. DIR. Brown,
DIR. Brown"
DIR. William f. Brown is under
stood to be a News-Jewett negro.
The Rev. Mr.. johnson paused in
CONSERVATION, and then waving his
arms frantically, tried to shout down
the crowd:
You're right. The name is Brown.
1 had the wrong name. Listen at
me! Listen at me! had the wrong
name. / meant Brown all along"
The riot finally subsided and the
preacher sat down.

Big Bill Gives

Radical in y. S.
Flight of HdyIUOOd, Chief of

Body.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-"Taps" was
sounded for the l. W. w, strongest of
the national radical societies, Chief Lewis
J. Bailey of the Bureau of Investigation
said today by the disappearance of
Big Bill Haywood. who was to begin
a twenty year Jail term Monday.
Haywood. according to his bondsmen,
now is In Moscow. Russia.
THE I. W. w has suffered a blow to
its prestige that will weaken its power
to stir up industrial discord." said Ba-
ley. The organization win have ex-
treme difficulty in recruiting new mem
bers. without q continuous string Of
converts radical organizations die.
with the weakening of the power of
the l. W W radical leaders who In the
past have received the organizations in
dorsement win find it difficult TO stir
up violence in labor disputes. The I.
W. W. leaders know the significance of
Haywood's desertion and are alarmed by
II and chagrined.
THE incident from one point OF view
should have a tendency for good in some
industrial circles where radicals have
heretofore exerted wide influence. 1t is
unfortunate, however, from the point Of
view of justice.
We believe, however, that Haywood
will return to the United States during
the summer following the convention in
Moscow, which he planned to attend. If
Haywood does return the punishment
then will be inflicted.
Meanwhile If Haywood. as anticipated,
fails to surrender himself in Chicago
Monday, the Government win ask the
court to forfeit his bail OF $4,000"
The l. w. W. is reported to have a
membership far in excess Of the other
radical organizations, at vue time claim
ing 100000 members The active, paid
up membership, however, is believed
never to have run over 100000.
