day. It was understood troops are
being trained with the idea Of riot

Urges ABANDONMENT OF
RAILWAY LABOR BOARD
Indiana Man Declares Roads
Are Able to Handle Their
Own Affairs Safely
(By United Press)

indianapolis, April 26.-Abandon
the railway labor board and allow the
Esch- Cummins and the Adamson
laws to function properly and the
railroads will operate on paying
basis, said John w. McCardle, vice.
chairman of the, Indiana public
service commission, here today.
"The railroads Of the country are
almost broke" said McCardle, "sim-
ply because they must go before this
board with. every controversy that
comes between the employee and the
employer"
81 have attempted to get grain
cars from various roads and the men
in charge told me that they have cars
on side tracks that last year were
good grain cars and now they are un-
fit for grain merely because the roads
have not enough money to keep them
in god repair" he declared. m L..
Last year there were about 100, 900
cars on the side tracks awaiting re-
pairs and today there are about $780,
900 on the sidings for the same pur-
pose, according to McCardle.
The Interstate commerce commits
sion granted the railroads an in
crease in freight rates so that they
could spend the money for repairs;
instead, they must give it to this
board for hearing their controversies,
the commissioner said. s..
"The roads were able to handle
their own affairs before this board
was created and think that they can
do it now. All they need is free
hand and in time railroads will show
for themselves" McCardle concluded.

COUNTERFElTERS RAISE
FACE OF BANK NOTES
(By United Press)

New York, April 26.---Be on your
guard against counterfeit bids. So
unusually large is the number OF bo-
gus and raised bank notes discovered
In circulation recently that the
Manufacturers Trust Company here
have just issued a warning bulletin.
Tips on how to detect fake money
are given. Most fraudulent currency
says the bulletin, are raised notes
usually Federal Reserve notes. Ones
are raised to tens, tens to twenties
and tives to tens and twenties. Tell
ers and cashiers should all know
what portrait to expect on the various
denominations. If you don't know,
better familiariZe yourself with the
faces on legal tender.
In most cases alterations are con-
fined simply to changing numerals In
the corner of the bills, sometimes
changes have been made in printed
amounts, usually by mutiliation. Be-
ware of mutilated bills.
Bill raisers seldom take the trouble
to change the portrait of bill. For
instance one doMar Federal Reserve
bills may be ralsel to tens and tens
to one hundreds. but the raised
ONES continue to bear the portrait
OF George Washington, although the
proper portrait which should appear
on the $40 is Andrew Jachson. .
Similarly on the $40 Dill raisei to
500 the portrait OF Andrew Jackson
remains, although the proper port
raft is that Of Benjamin Franklin.
Raised notes dn the hands of inno-
cent persons are redeemed by the
government at the original value. Ii
you accept 81 bill for tender, you
can collect the 81 from Uncle Sam
by turning the bill into your bank
for redemption. ,..,s-
Under recent ruling, it is regarded
as counterfeiting to undertake to pass
any state. bank note Of defunot is
sues; or any issues Of defunct banks.

10Y OHlleu TTeSSJ
Paris, April 26.-France is ready
to strike blow that will force the
Germans to submit to the peace
treaty, Premier BRAND declared to-
day in the chamber of deputies. just
after the chamber had voted conf
dence in his ministry, 429 to 20, the
premier took the floor and in impas-
stoned speech refused Germany's
record of treaty defaults.
Berlin. April 26.--The ultimate to-
tai indemnity which Germany agrees
to pay the allies is 100000, 900, 900
gold marks, as against 226,OOO,OO0,-
900 demanded by the allies in their
Paris terms.
This is positively stated by those
close to the government, although
the German counter proposals have
not been made public here.
DR.. Simons, the foreign secretary,
did not present the new proposals to
the reichstag because of an under
standing with the American mission
and for the additional reason, that
there is paragraph in the note to
President Harding suggesting that he
feel free to query back for further
information or the calculation Of any
point not clear, if he 50 desired, be-
fore submitting the note to the en-
tente.
Consequently, the German press
and public, and even the party lead
ers have not seen the counter pro-
posals, and their publication is eager
ly awaited.
The Germans suggest making the
annuities in the payment Of the rep
arations flexible, dependent upon the
recovery of German industries. All in
ternational loan is suggested to be
floated Immediately for the purpose
of placing ready cash at the disposal
of the entente, but no sum is named.

Believed that Harding Intends
Calling International Heads
to Conference Shortly
NAVAL APPROPRIATIONS
BILL STILL UNCHANGED
Congressman Kelly Says Naval
Expansion Would Aid in
Peace Movement
(By United Press)

Washington, April 26.-The world
is now nearer disarmament negotia-
tions than it has ever been, it was be-
lieved here today in circles close to
the president. This was based on in
formation of administration leaders
that President Harding plans to pro-
pose an international conference
within few months.
Their opinion was that the presi-
dents proposals will be answered by
other nations and that cessation of
competitive naval construction be-
tween Great Britain, Japan and the
United States will follow.
Although belief in congress was
stronger today than it has ever been
that disarmament discussion is now in
sight, the house naval appropriation
bill was unchanged.
Republican leaders backed by some
Democrats maintained that the Unit
ed States must prepare to be second
to none in naval strength, although
realization of the disarmament hopes
will, they say, make unnecessary
some of the expenditures now being
authorized.
