Of public instruction appointive instead
of elective were adopte dtoday by the
State board Of education.

presented by Dr. William Lowe Bryan,
president of Indiana University. DR..
Bryan pointed out the need for quail
f1catiOns for attorneys and declared that
now a lawyer need have no more quail

forth the arguments being used by edu-

K0KOMO PLANS
MERGER FIGHT
Valuation of /. r. & l.. Prop
erty Asked of Public Serv-
ice Commission.

The first step in a fight on the pro
posed merger Of seven Indiana electric
companies which plan to establish a
central power producing station in the
coal fields for the purpose of supplying
a large part Of the State with electricity
was taken today by Fred B. Johnson, a
former mem Der Of the public service com
mission. who represents the city OF
Kokomo.
Ar. johnson filed a motion With the
public service commission asking that
the valuation OF the Indiana Railways
and Light Company OF Kokomo, which is
10 become a part Of the new Indiana
Electric Corporation, be determined be
fore the hearing on the merger which
Is scheduled for Friday morning. The
petition also asked that the proporuonate
part Of the proposed securities Of the
new corporation to be allOcated TO the
Kokomo concern be specified before the
earing. In addition he asked that the
entire commission, or as many members
as possible, sit in the hearing.

The motion was filed with Commission
er George Barnard, who has been as
The commissioner then got in touch with
representa- tives of the new corporation
at the Merchants Heat and Light Com
pany. which is TO become a part Of the
new concern, aud asked for the valua-
lions Of each Of the seven properties az
fected by the merger. He was told that
the valuations already were in the hands
of the commission, but it was found they
were not and it was then agreed they
should be presented at 3 o'clock this
afternoon
The contest over the merger, when i.
comes to a hearing Friday, is expected
20 involve the question of whether there
is an attempt to overcapitslize the new
concern. In an effort to show inflated
values the valuations for rate making
purposes are expected to be compared
with the valuations for taxation. Mr..
Johnson. Samuel Ashby, corporation
counsel for the city of indianapolis, and
possibly other attorneys are expected to
oppose the merger as it is planned.
COMPANIES IN
PROPOSED MERGER.
The companies to be merged are the
Merchants Heat end Light Company Of
Indianapolis. the Indiana Railways and
Light Company Of Kokomo, the Elkhart
Gas and Fuel Company Of Elkhart, the
Valparaiso Lighting Company Of Val
paraiso. the Wabash Valley Electric
Company OF Clinton, the Putnam Electric
Company Of Greencastle, and the Cayuga

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Great Brit

ments Of Premier Hughes Of Austria

Of the big naval powers was a serious
mistake. renewed here a discussion Of Il ,
reasons for abandoning the idea Of a pre-
liuinary meeting.
In the first place no proposal was made
10 the United States that China be In
cluded in a preliminary conference. The
suggestion limited the proposed meeting
TO the United States. Great Britain and
Japan on the assumption that these three
powers might deal most rapidly and salts
factorily with the two questions which
would engage the attention OF the formal
ce-disarmaments and the Pa
eifc
when the suggestion was made that
The invitations TO the conference had been
issued the United States was committed
so far on the plan OF the general con
ference that q change in plans, such as
would have been necessary TO stage
preliminary meeting. would have proved
not only embarrassing TO this country
but doubtless have offended the other
nations invited TO the principal meeting
France, Italy and China.
It also was the view of the United
States. that If the pressing dissrmaments
could be settled or smoothed out in such
8 short time and as easily as Premier
Hughes suggests. the ends Of the confer
eace would be secured at the Nov. II meet
ing without much difficulty. On the other
hand a failure OF the preliminary con
ference or the projection Of a serious
variation of views on the part Of the par
Elephants, probably would prove suicidal
to the success OF the main conference.
The formal British acceptance conveyed
through Ambassador Harvey by Lord
CurzOn, is the third to have been received
by the State Department. Formal sc-
ceptances stiIl are lacking from Japan
and Italy.-Copyright 1921, by Public

posal in view of the opposition Of Ad-
ministrati0n leaders. Senator Reed, Mis-
souri, then offered a resolution prOvid-
ing that the American delegates should
work for the publicity from day TO day
during the conference.
Lodges statement was followed by a
general debate which was the freest dis
eussion Of the conference which the Sen
ate has heard. Lodge declared the reso-
luton would render the United States
guilty Of an uncivility" to the nations

WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-Dairymen
from Wisconsin, who are urging enact
ment of legislation prohibiting the sale
In interstate commerce of filled milk, face
a prolonged fight fight in Congress before
the measure they seek becomes a law.
The bill has been reported favorably by
majority of the House Agriculture
Committee, but opposition to It has as
sumed such proportions that no effort is
to be made to put 1t through the House
before October or later.
The favorable majority report is
brought out by Representative Volght.

bill Is headed by Representative Aswell,
Louisiana.
Filled milk is an imitation of condensed
or evapsrated milk, made by mixing con
densed skinned milk and cocoanut oil.

This is regarded in some quarters
as a possible form Of defense In flu
ture against bombing attacks from the
air on ships. Consideration already
has been given to the need for air
forces to guard the ships against
hostile air bombers. with the idea in
mind that a superior air force for
either side could drive of the enemy's
planes.
The Navy, it is understood, has de
voted much time to developing its
own methods of attack by air as we'll
as forms of defense from the air. The
aerial attack. however, is regarded as
perhaps the best form of defense from
enemy bombers, that 1t, by carrying
the fight over them, can disrupt any
organized bombing. Army men bear
this idea out.

Three Now Held on
Liberty Bond Thefts

Word of the arrest of Arthur Ballard
and Jim Lowe wanted for the theft and
attempted sale Of a number of registered
Liberty bonds, at Chicago, was received
today by Capt. Thomas e. Halls, chief of
the United States secret service. The
capture of these men is the outgrowth of
the arrest of Thomas Everitt by Captain
Halls at Gary last week. Everitt was
charged with ereaslng the name of the
owner from a $500 Liberty bond and in
sorting his own, after which he attempted
to dispose of the bond at a Gary bank.
After hearing before United States
Commissioner Charles l. Surprise at
Hammond, he was brought to Indian

the matter of the original ownership Of
the bonds and the details Of the theft.
