WORKS BOARD
TO SHIFT DUTIES
Seeks to Change Garbage and
Ash Collections.

The board Of public works today in
augurated movement to rid itself not
only of the duty of garbage collection, as
it announced 1t would some time ago,
but also Of ash collection The board
discussed with Samuel Ashby, corpora
ton counsel. 4 bill to rut both the ash
and garbage collection departments under
the control Of the board Of sanitary com
missioners and TO transfer all the pres
ent equipment to that body.
Under existing law the board of works
is charged with the duty of ash collec-
ton. Because the sanitary law does not
specifically provide that the sanitary
board shall collect garbage, although it
Is legally charged with the duty of dis
posing of garbage, the board OF works
has collected garbage ever since the city
took over this utility three years ago
The sanitary law at present has a
provision which would make it possible
for that board to collect ashes, city Of
Ecials state. In the new bill, which the
city hopes to get through the present
Legislature, the sanitary board will be
specifically charged with the duty OF
collecting both ashes and garbage. The
board Of works members stated that they
felt 1t would be more efficient to have
both departments under the same board
and that since the work is in the nature
of health preservation It should he un-
der the sanitary board. Ii will also be
easier to transfer equipment from de-
partment to department II both are un-
der the same board, as at present, 1t was

SEE PENROSE'S
PRESTIGE LOST
Foes Say Breakdown on Tariff
Bill Is Beginning of
End.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Political enc
mics and critics Of Senator Boies Pen
lose today were busily spreading the
word that Penrose's change of front on
the emergency tariff bill marked the be-
ginning of the end for him as & dom
inant power in Pennsylvania and national
politics.
Aside from his illness, which has
robbed PenrOse of his former stamina,
his foes declared nothing had SO con-
tributed to his passing as the abandon
ment of his fight on the tariff embargo
bill. They were led to magnify his ac-
tlon into this importance by reason of
the emphasis he placed on his opposi-
ton to the msessure IN statements here
and elsewhere when it first came up and
again when il was sent to the Senate.
His inability to handle the situation"
was borne in On Penrose, it was de-
clared, by the obstinate attitude Of his
Republican colleagues on the committee,
who are said to have told him plainly
that they would risk a division in party
ranks on the very eve of the new ad-
ministration in order to get the bill
passed. Penrose, his friends said, re-
allied that his physical condition would
not allow him to make a fight for his
position and he backed down rather than
be defeated.
The Senator's friends refused to attach
political importance to the incident and
said his enemies were using it for prop
uganda purposes, both in Pennsylvania
and in Washington. They sngrily criti-
cised such tactics and said Penrose's
foes could "gO as far as they liked" IL
they thought it would do them any
good

ARE CANCELLED
Expiration of Time Limit
Brings Boards Action.

Two more contracts for public i'm
prOvements were Cancelled by the board
Of public works today because the con
tractors have not started work within
the specified time limit. The board an
nounced Wednesday that this wo0P be
its future policy.
One of the contracts was for the per
manent improvement of the first alley
east of Ruckle street from Fortieth to
Forty Second street. 1t was awarded to
A. D. Bowen on Feb. 81, 1920 and the
date for completion set at July 10. Bowen
las never started work, the board stated.
Two other contracts held by him were
cancelled on the same grounds Wednes-
day.
The other contract Cancelled today was
for cement sidewalks in Addison street

nue. to Ray street. 1t was awarded to
Henry Mag, Oct. 16, 1916, and the date
Tor completion set at Jan. !, 1917. Mag
never started to work. He told the
board that he had not done so for the
reason that the previous administration
lad ordered him not to.
The board received a letter from
Charles L. Henry, president of the In
dianapOlis & Cincinnati Traction Com
pany, stating that the company has ac-
cepted orders limiting the number OF
trailers to be hauled by traction freight
trains within the city limits at three, as
fixed by State law, and that the com
pany's freight trains proceed to and
from the Kentucky avenue and Traction
Terminal freight stations through South
street instead Of through Maryland
street.
Mr.. Henry, in announcing that the
orders were being complied with, criti-
cised the board for not consulting his
company before they were issued
in this connection" he wrote, T
think we should request of you that
whenever you desire to take up and
consider any matter of this character at
fectlng US or in which we are inter
ested, that you should notify US Of the
time and place when they are to be CON
sidered so that We may be represented
and be prepared to express our views, II
necessary. In this case We had no no.
tice Of any kind from you regarding the
consideration Of either OF the matters
referred to in your letters, and my i'm
preston is that your action In neither
case was one which was justified with
out notice to or consent from u.s. Ger
tainly they were both matters which we
should have had an opportunity TO be
heard on before action was taken by
your board"

TO BE FORMED
Organization Meeting Will Be
Held Tonight.

An organization meeting for the second
annual course in the study of credits and
collections conducted under the auspices
of the Indianapolis Association of Credit
Men by the local branch of the National

Of mercantile agency reports and some
work in the theory of credit granting.
The advanced class would continue the
work commenced by the institute in the
spring term of 1920, but would go more

enrolment is equalled it will be possible
to hold the two classes.

for the members of the indianapolis as

after having been helped on their way
by an Indian" Bradbury said
LIGH& SNOW
WAS FORTUNE.
Their uniforms were all tattered and
gaping with holes. Only one Of them,
Msutenant Farrell, still retained his fur
overcoat, and they showed all signs Of
physical exhaustion. When they had al
most despaired OF their lives, they came
upon the Indian. There is no question
that one more day of experiences such
as the three officers had gone through
would have ended their lives. Caribou
moss is not by any means high nutritive,
especially when one is battling for life
and worn out with fatigue and uncer-
tainty Of mind, It Is lucky for the bal
Ioonists that the weather was unusually
mid for that period Of the year and the
ground only slightly covered with snow
50 the moss could be found easily.
sThey had brought three homing pig
cons with them for the purpose Of post
ing those below the border as 70 their
necessary to eat two OF those birds to
stave off starvation.
s'The last surviving pigeon was found
He was overjeyed because he had not
been forced to kill it. He decided to
write a howard message to be con-
veyed to Rockaway Beach, and had
the message attached and sent the bird
on fits fight. The upper floor of the
Central building at Moose Factory was
arranged for the accommodation of the
Americans and they were resting quite
comfortably there when 1 left for Mattice
and Montreal.
Lieutenant Farrell seemed to have suf-
fered the most. He had to ride most Of
the way, but Hinton and Kloor were able
to accompany the dogs on foot"
SHABBINESs BRINGS
FRIGHT TO RESCUER.
Describing how the Americans cane
upon the Indian who saved them, Brad
bury said;
'4rhey came upon one Of our Indian
trappers, Thomas Mark, a Cree, and after
overcoming his fright-for the three ban
loonists in their strange and tattered
garb appeared like wild and strange men
to the Northern Indfan-they managed to
convince him they were perfectly friendly.
The Indian took them first of all TO
his own home on the outskirts OF the
post at Moose factory. where their wild
appearance, they told me, almost threw
a squaw into a panic. She was then
dispatched by Marks to the post mall
ager, j. R. Gaudet. While she was on
her way, Marks made them tea and
furnished food, which was ravenously
devoured by the half-starved officers.
without the loss of a moments time
Gaudet, accompanied By the district
manager, W. c. Rakham and by MesSrs
Watson. Neil, Beveridge and Findlay,
went to meet the Americans and con-
veyed them to the Central build
ing, where they were rested, clothed and
given comfortable sleeping accommoda-
tons"

The governor gave one look at the
ball and spectators insist that he
reached in his pocket for another ball,
fully expecting that the one he had
just hit would be lost some place in
South Topeka.
There was crack-tl1e sound that
comes when a mighty player slaps
out mighty drive-and to the horror
Of the governors companions the ball
was seen to hit a big elm tree on the
border of the fairway. The gallery
was divided az to its interest in the
effect the blow would have on the
tree and the course Of the ball.
The tree with its fifty years of age

toward the flag and stopped within

For several minutes there was 81

Then from down in the tall grass
came a familiar voice-a voice that
has thrilled thousands in all parts of
the world, a voice that has stunned the
