The problem would be solved, he
said. by the manufacture of individual
distilleries to be attached to cars. the
stills to be operated by the heat and
action of the motor, and to produce
from petroleum and other ingredients
a combustible mixture supplied as con-

be equipped to produce sufficient fuel
to run itself and enough byproducts
to pay for its ma intenance.

OF REFUGEE NEGROES
CBv Associated Press>

TULSA, Okla, June 4.-Homes for
thousands of negroes. made destitute
by the race rioting here this week
will be rebuilt by the Tulsa business
men, but a general plan of reconstruc-
tion was still being sought today by
members of the citizens committee of
welfare, named for that purpose, and
out of the burning of the negro sec
ton the negroes will profit in one
respect, for the business interests OF
the city are determined that better
and more sanitary section will be
erected.
Some prominent men object to rear
ing a new negro settlement on the
ashes of the area destroyed and sug-
gest that land be bought in the north
ern section of the city where homes
could be built with a view to city
pla aiming.
Judge T. j. Martin, chairman of the
committee, declared that 1000 Tulsa
men should volunteer each to build a
negro home He said it would re-
quire not more than 81 900 for home.
The relief work among the negroes
was thoroughly organized today, and
most of them had left the detention
camp at the fair grounds. White en-
ployerS gave them shelter at their
homes and business places.

Editor Palladium:
1T seems that c. o. Williams will
undoubtedly be elected county superin-

port in any movements he may inau-
gurate for better and more efficient

Wayne county is a large and pros
porous county, and | hope everyone
connected with school work may give
a full measure of cooperation to Mr..

What | Think of the City
Manager System

Every Cay reporter will ask q
person picked nt random, his opin-
ion on the proposed plan.
II cannot see how the tax rate
is going to be reduced under the
city manager. The new law pro-
yides for all sorts of offices with
secretaries and other attachments.
What is the matter with our town?
Just go to other cities in Indiana
and then come back to Richmond
and make a comparison. You will
be thankful that you can count
yourself a resident of this city. All
the criticism about Richmond and
its poor government was started by
a few people who have come in
here from the outside, but these
same people do not own dollars
worth of real estate and can move
out overnight if they so desire. l
say again Richmond is one Of the
best governed cities in the middle
west for it's size. What we need
is more constructive cooperation
and less agitation for reform by
people who want to reform other
people" said a former postal en-
ploye. Saturday.

,WIRTH CABINET MAY
BE COMMENDED BY
PARTY CONFERENCE
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, June 4.-As a result of
inter-party conferences, the cabinet,
led by Dr. Joseph Wirth, was expect.
ed to become the beneficiary of an in.
direct vote Of confidence in the
reichstag body. This was looked
upon here as an eleventh hour es.
cape from what threatened to be a
disavowal of the new government
A resolution introduced by the pres
ent coalition block, approving the
governments program of fulfillment,
was withdrawn from the chancellor
and leaders of the coalition parties
had succeeded in winning over the
German peoples party and the Inde-
pendent Socialists to a definite prom
ise that these two factions would op-
pose a resolution of censure proposed
by the Nationalists, which would deny
to the new cabinet the confidence of
the reichstag.
1t was decided that the Nationalist
resolution would be rejected by the
Majority Socialists, the Clericals and
the Democrats, who comprise the
present coalition, aided by the
Peoples party and the Independent
Socialists. The result of this maneu-
yer is that the Wirth cabinet will by
indirection, receive the reichstag's ap.
proval for the time being. Parlia
mentary leaders were outspoken last
night, however. in declaring that the
new ministry could not possibly
thrive indefinitely on such "benevo-
lence"
