Two Of the band would enter a saloon
and offer to sell whisky to the saloon
keefer. The saloon man would purchase
the whisky and the sellers would depart
Two or three more Of the gang then

lJeopor under arrest and seize the whisky
to be used at the next stopping place.
One Of the raiders would tell the sa-
loonheepcr they would let him go for a
consideration.
II Is known definitely. according to the

$500 for his freedom and that another
proffered $500. When this was refused
he raised the price to $1,000, which was
accepted.

UNEMPLOYMENT
ENDS DISTRESS?
Difficulties Between Capital

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger
WASHINGTON, Aug 3O.-The national
unemployment conference, plans for
which are being worked out by Secre-
taries Hoover and Davis. will concentrate
upon the solution of the direct problem
Of obtaining work for the heads Of fam
lilies. Programs for Industrial peace and
discussions Of points at issue between
capital and labor will be taboo. The per-
sonnet OF the conference will be small,
probably not more than twelve or fifteen
delegates representing the various inter
ests and a thorough survey Of the unem-
ployment situation will be made with the
single view to alleviaing distress.
Although figures compiled by the De
partment Of Labor as of June, place the
Unemployment in the United States at
more than FIVE and a half million, Sec
rotary Hoover Is inclined to believe the
situation is not as bad as the fgureT in
dictate. The job Of the conference, he
said, Will be to get at the exact number
Of prime bread winners who are out of
work as distinguished from he hundreds
Of thousands who took up Jobs during
the war period or thereafter because Of
the increased demand for all forms OF
labor
Adoption by the conference or a definite
program, Secretary Hoover believes, viii
20 long way toward quoting the sit
uation. There is, he thinks, a great deal
OF "unwarranted fear" that there will be
unusual suffering because Of the indus
trial situation. Tie duty OF the Gov
eminent, he contended today, is to get
before the public a plan for unity Of
action.
'sThe prOblems Of intermittance and
irregularity Of emPloymeE: might be
solved by the conference" said Mr..
Hoover. land in this manner something
really constructive accomplished"
The cooperation OF Congress vas prom
ised the conference by Senator Walsh.
Massachusetts,. Democrat, and author OF
a resolution now pending which calls
upon the Senate Committee on Education
and Labor to investigate the causes Of
unemployment and recommend measures
% relief.
THE unemployment situation in this
country is very serious" said Senator
Walsh. Before the winter IS passed I
fear it will have reached the pathetic
stage. We should do something to avert
the possibility OF such a condition which
the present Unemployment foreshadows.
President Harding viii have my heartiest
support and that of all the members Of
Congass in the undertaking to ind out
the Conditions and remedy them"

Binding Pact to Prevent Var
Held Vital TO Disarmament

with them in a solemn, definite, CO.
operative understanding, set down in
black and white and signed, that
neither shall engage in a war of ag
gression nor refuse to arbitrate what
ever contentious may arise between
them.
Total disarmament is out Of the
question and will remain So" Senator
McCumber said, until by mutual
agreement between all nations ca
rable Of making war, war is made an
impossibility.
"And, just to the extent President
Harding is able to cOnsummate such
an agreement between the powerful
nations" he continued, just to that
extent will he be able to decrease the
burden or ornaments.
'Such a compact must precede not
only complete disarmament, but to my
mind, it must precede any great or
substantial reduction in military or
naval ornaments"
1t Is Senator McCumber's opinion
that Great Britain alone will not con-
sent to the "scrapping' of her navy.

4 EX-GOVERNORS
FOR AMENDMENT
Marshall, Durbin, RalstOn and
Goodrich Sign Statement.

The four living former Governors Of
Indiana and Governor Warren T. Nc
Cray have Joined in statement approx
ing the proposed amendment TO the State
constitution which would give the chief
executive power to veto separate items
in appropriation bills. The former Gov
ernOrs are Thomas r. Marshall, Win
field T. Durbin. Samuel NJ. Ralston anil
James p. Goodrich.
The statement was given out al the
office of Governor McCray, after Mr.. Maj
shall had telegraphed his approval.
THE undersigned earnestly appeal to
the voters of Indiana" says the state
ment, Ito support on Sept. constitu-
tional amendment No. 3; this amend
ment. If adopted, will make it possible
for the Governor of this State to veto
any item in the appropriation bill.
We believe this amendment to be In
the interest Of efficiency and economy.
Under our constitution, as now, inter
preted, the Governor must either ap-
prove. or disapprove, the appropriation
bill in its entirety: nearly always the
general appropriation bill comes to the
Governor in the closing hours of the
General Assembly, and at time when
there is a rush of other bills handed
I'm for his consideration and he must
choose the alternative of approving the
bill which frequently contains many
items with which he has not had OPP
pOrtunity to acquaint himself and some
times carries items of considerable mag
nitude which have no place in that bill
or veto the entire bill. which would re
suit in an extra session of the Legis-
lature.
TOur experience justifes us in the
statement that the proper exercise of
this power if given to the Governor
would result In a large saving TO the
State of Indiana every session"

WOOD MATTER
TO DE DROPPED,
WEEKS CLAIMS
No Effort to Be Made to
Have Decision
Changed.

Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 30-Efforts to
have the House Military Affairs Commit
tee reconsider it's action intabling the bill
which would have permitted Gen. Leon
ard Wood to keep his active rank while
serving as Governor General of the Phil
ippines, will not be undertaken by the
War Department, it is announced by John
w Weeks, Secretary Of War.
Mr. Weeks said he had heard nothing
officially from General Wood since the
House Committee acted, but his inference
was. he believed General Wood would take
the place without the sanctions sought
under the bill.
He characterized the opposition to the
bill in the House first as trivial a state
ment which he afterwards qualified TO
without foundation"
THE objections of the House to per-
hitting General Wood to hold his active
rank while serving as Governor General
Of the Philippines appear to me to be
without foundation" said Mr.. Weeks.
The precedent which would be set
would not be a harmful one. The meas
ure provides that such exception should
be shown in only three Offices. can
see no reason why an officer of the Army
should not be governor general of the
Philippines Vice governor there or
governor of Porto Rico. In fact l think
1t might be very expedient to name an
Army officer vice governor Of the Philip
pines He would, of course, be a younger
officer. adapted peculiarly for the place
and a man who might not want to sacri-
flee the remainder of his army career
to accept the appointment. | have no
plans, however, to attempt to change the
minds OF the members Of the house com
mittee and have seen nothing yet from
General Wood as to how he feels. ~

MAY SETTLE YAP
DISPUTE PRIOR
TO DISARM MEET
All Nations Hope to Affect
Agreement Between u. S.
and Japan.
AMERICA STANDS PAT

Special to Indiana Daily Times
ana Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Settlement Of
the issues in dispute between the United
States and Japan over the Island of zap
on which discussions are now in prog
ress and an adjustment considered posi-
bIe-will have to be passed on and ap
proved by Great Britain. France and
Italy also after Washington and Toxic
compose their differences, according to
Information here.
Extreme desire has been evinced by
all of the nations invited to sit as
principals at the Washington conferences
TO have this strenuous question disposed
Of. So strong is this feeling interchanges
already have been made relative to the
final steps to be taken in the event an
accord is reached between this country
aud Toxic. The plan most favored, II
Is understood, is for the wo-poweF
agreement to be approved through Dip
lomatic exchanges so the question may
be omitted entirely from the agenda of
the deliberations to be begun on Armi-
stice day. This is the only one of the
called accomplished facts" that the
Harding Administration is actively con-
cerned with today The others If they
are to be presented by the Japanese. will
be fought out at preliminary exchange
OF views before the coming conference.
The United States. however, is perfect
~ willing to end the zap matter, out
without recession from its position of
April D. Nothing it has done since that
time has weakened its stand In fact
the attitude Of the United States, as far
as zap was concerned, was strengthened
by the signing Of the German treaty
1t provides that no action taken by the
league should bind the United States
without its consent. The council of tbs
League Of Nations acted once upon Yap.
and although it afterward referred the
issue back to the supreme council. the
passage in the German treaty, which
some Of the irreconcila bles feared was n
loophOle for United States participation
In the league, was really to strengthen
the hold of the United States in its
rights at zap and to prevent a recur-
renee Of embarrassing action as far as
the league is concerned.
Another diplomatic step which the
Harding Administration has decided
upon, 1t has become known, is that IN
following the treaty signed with Ger
many no consideration will be given to
a treaty Of amity and commerce until
after ratification of the existing cove
nant by the Senate of the United States
AS far as this country is concerned. its
rights are included in the Dresel- Rosen
treaty, but many of it's provisions are
not reciprocal and the present Admins
traf1on will have no objection to a treaty
OF definite terms when the Senate shall
have acted.-Copright, 1921, by Public
Ledger Co.

WASHINGTON, Aug 30-A writ
ten, binding pact between the United
States and leading nations to prevent
wars Of aggression and to compel
arbitration Of international disputes
must precede any material reduction
in military or naval ornaments,
Senator McCUmber of North Dakota,
ranking Republican member of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
declared today
Unless the United States is willing
and able to bring about a league or
an association of the bigger nations
to prohibit war and enforce peace,
the approaching Washington confer
ence on disarmament and kindred
problems, viii, in Senator McCum-
ber's judgment, fail to decrease the
crushing burden Of ornaments.
A mere agreement to reduce arma-
ments is neither possible nor prac-
ticable, Senator McCumber believes.
Neither Great Britain, France, Italy
or Japan would consent to one, he is
certain. unless the United States
were willing to go further and join

Alabama Farmers
See Upward Trend

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. S0.-There is
definite evidence that business has started
on the upward trend. The start comes
from the logical, basic economic source
agriculture. This was the prevailing
thought today at the opening of the sew
enteenth annual convention of the Farm
ers Union of Alabama
These men, the primary producers Of
raw materials, believe that the general
level Of crop prices will probably be bet
tered during the remainder of the summer
and fall
Agriculture they say. was hit first
when the decline came. The farmers were
forced to take their losses Immediately
They could not postpone the time as
could men In other lines. but since the
first shock came. have taken things phii
osophically and have set about to meet
the new onditiOns.-Copyright 1921, by
