primarily necessary to relieve the peopls
of the wgrid Of the burdens under which

Senator Harrison then embarked on 4
discussion - the publicity to attend the
conferences. He said he bad offered his
amendment 90 the deficiency bill in the
hope that the senate and House would
express themselves favorably for open
sessions.
We have heard great deal about Sc
cret diplomacy and the subtle avenues
that go with it, he said. We have
heard much about the way the treaty Of
Versailles was adopted, free from open
sessions and I hope. In such an impor-
taut proposition as this. the various coun
tries considering questions of such i'm

and against future wars, will do 81 In the

Senator Harrison expressed approval Of
the Presidents course In calling the con
ference but he held fast to the Demo
cratic doctrine that the League OF Ma
tions was working toward the same end.
On the score of Senator Borah's selection,
he said: senator Borab has been
commanding figure in the dght for the
limitation Of ornaments since Nov. 3,
1920 when he introduced his proposal
He has thrown his personality into the
fight lie has done more to crystalline
sentiment in this country than any other
man
In the matter of Senator Inderwood's
selection there is very decided under
current Of feeling that more aggressive
Democrat ought TO be chosen That group
in the party which is led by George
White chairman Of the national com
mittee and therefore loyab still to James
NJ Cox, has not taken kindly to the
rather close personal friendship between
Mr. Underwood and the President. There
have been several quiet expressions TO
the effect that the Senator from Alabama
was going along with the White House
too frequently and that some Senator
who would present the Democratic idea
Of international affairs with greater force
would be more pleasing to the party.

Simmons of North Carolina, former Sec
rotary Of State Colby or any one Of half

The old plum tree must be shaken again
as Jesse E. Eschbach, chief engineer of
the State board of accounts, today in
formed the Marion County commission
ers that the State board cannot approve
the paying Of Edward A. Schubert any

which he has been holding.
Although Schubert, former Indianapolis

When Auditor Fesler refused 10 honor

amendable 10 the police rules govern

II, the humane officers have been com
PEELED 10 make regular reports to the
Gamewen operators at police headquar-
tiers.
The statute also say that these hui
name officers shall attend the special
and stated meetings Of the Humane So
ciety" But such an Injunction has be
come a dead issue, for the reason that
the humane society, having no mere
membership, does nor hold either spe-
cial or stated meetings Of the society, but
transacts its business at secret meetings
Of the board Of directors concerning the
details of which not even the secretary
of the society is permitted to make com
plete minutes.
Probably the most fragrant and i'm
portant disregard of the statute, however
is Of that provision which says that
whenever humane statute Of the State
has. to their knowledge. been violated,
they shall il directed by the PRESIDENT
Of such humane society. file the AMI
davit Of one Of their number before any
magistrate Of the city, etc"
LOCAL SOCIETY
HAS No ROLL OF MEMBERS.
This provision Of the statuts has been
distorted by the coterie that is now
operating the Indianapolis Humane So
ciety to make the city's humane officers
subject to the orders of the chairman
OF the executive committee" Of the 50
cisty, who is neither the president nor an
appointee Of the president.
II was under this distorted interpre-
tation Of the statute that DR.. c. A.
Pfafflin recently declared to members Of
the society.
Il am your chief Of police. Com
plants Of law violations must pass
through my hands"
In accordance with this theory ii is
apparent from the reports OF the humane
officers that they are not being "di-
rected by the president of huch humane
society to ile anidavits against viola
tors OF the humane laws and ordinance
Of whom they have knowledge. These
individual reports show that the humane
officers themselves are passing on the
question Of whether arrests shall be made
in some cases and are not being in
structed by either the president Of the
society, who has the power. or the chair
man OF the executive committe, who has
no power under the statute.
The result OF this laxity IN carrying
out the statutes is that four police ser
geants. for whom a separate room is
maintained In the crowded police head
quarters. are powerless to enforce the
laws they are presumed TO be enforcing
and are holding down what is generally
regarded by the police department as
soft" assignments, while the board Of
directors Of society without member
ship holds secret meetings and deter
mines what law violators shall >be pun
ishsd and what others shall be privileged.
