MEMORIAL COMMITTEE
AWAITS ARCHITECTS
REPORT ON PLANS

Wayne county memorial committee
is awaiting a report from Guy A.
Study, consulting architect. before
making it's recommendations to the
county commissioners. With the ap-
pointment of the committee a year
ago, work has been brought forward
steadily, according to Paul Comstock,
chairman.
AS the committee is agreed upon
the kind of building to be erected, a
recommendation embodying these
points and giving a complete descrip-
ton will be submitted to the Wayne
county commissioners. A state me-
mortal committee also will pass upon
the plans in accordance with a law
requiring this procedure.
Immediately following the report to
the county commissioners, petitions
will be circulated among the taxpay-
ers of the county urging them to en-
dorse the movement. Mr.. Comstock
laid stress upon the fact that each
individual will know exactly what he
is backing. and that each petition will
have cut of the proposed structure
printed upon it 1t is to be a matter
governed entirely by the citizens of
this county, according to Mr.. Com
stock.
Trustees Supervise Work
Providing the county commissioners
approve the project as outlined, they
will appoint five trustees to be In
charge of the construction work.
Three trustees will be named by the
county commissioners and two by the
Judge of the circuit court.
Funds are to be raised, according to
law, by one of two methods. Either a
direct levy which will cover a series
of years until the total amount is
raised, or the county can make bond
issue not to exceed 20 years. In
either event, said Mr. Comstock, 1t will
not lay a heavy burden upon any indi-
vidual.
In a general way the arrangement of
the interior Of the building will be as
follows: An auditorium will be built
on the ground floor, with a seating
capacity of about $500 .. A balcony
will also be part of the auditorium
arrangement. In the basement will be
one large meeting room to be used for
public meetings and organization
gatherings. A modern, we'll equipped
kitchen for banquets and social occa.
stons will be provided here. AS this
building will be as much county pro-
ject as a city, the people Of all parts
Of the county will have opportunity to
use it at will.
The room probably will accommo-
date 600 persons. Two other rooms
will be adjoining the big room. each
with capacity Of approximately 200
persons.
In the front part of the building on
the second floor. modern equipment
which will provide for hanquets and
social occasions will be placed. Rooms
here will also be for the use Of patri-
otto organizations. Complete plans as
coceived by the memorial committee
will be made known when the commit
tee is prepared for active work.

PALLADIUM NEWS oOnEAo.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Eviction of
the Italian soldier poet, D'Annunzio,
from Fiume will result in the estab-
lishment of an enduring peace along
the Adriatic, in the opinion of Oliver
Owen Kuhn, prominent Washing
ton newspaper man and former res
ident of Richmond, Ind. Following the
Paris Peace conference, where Kuhn
represented a Washington newspaper
he spent several months in Italy, a
part of the time the guest of the
Italian government, and in Jugo-
Slavia.
Kuhn began his newspaper career
in Richmond, and for time was city
editor of the Palladium. Before com
ing to Washington, several years ago
he was engaged in newspaper work in
Indianapolis and Cleveland. He is
the son of the late Rev. Thomas Kuhn,
formerly of Richmond.
"As far as the outside world is con-
cerned, Europe notably, there can be
nothing but pleasure in seeing the FL
ume incident brought to a close,
Kuhn says. European foreign offices
ever since the Fiume question arose
have regarded it as a powder maga-
zine to which was attached a quick
burning fuse to anyone who might
light it. Italy and Jugo-Slavia had
been drifting toward war, particularly
after the armistice. How close they
were to war, l well know, having
travelled over miles and miles of bar.

voked by rabid partisans. The treaty
of Rapallo, between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia, which D'Annunzio refused to
accept, removed these dangers. Dan.
nunZio had to be reckoned with be.
fore this treaty was enforced, and he
has been reckoned with through the
courage of the Italian government. A
great stride has been taken toward
not only the preservation of peace
but the perpetuation of friendly re-
lations between those peoples who
have so much in common on both
sides of the Adriatic"
Washington has had a good laugh
over a letter Senator New of Indiana

ton reviving war finance corporation
became law today with its adoption
by the house over President Wilson's
veto. The senate overrode the veto
yesterday.
The vote in the house was $50 to Sc
with three voting present or 81 more
than the required two-thirds majority.
The vote was taken without debate
afer Representative Mondell, the Re-
publican leader. had stated that since
all members realized that the presi-
dent had raised no new question it
seemed wise to proceed to vote with
out discussion.
Officials of the war finance corpora
tion said today the corporation would
be revived Immediately but that neces-
sarily sometime must elapse before
the actual making of new loans would
begin. Some of them thought the time
might be too much.
Clear Up PreIiminaries.
Funds for making the loans must be
raised by a bond issue, 1t was stated.
and other preliminary matters, must
be cleared up. While the corporation
has a book balance with the treasury
of about 1915 100000 officials said the
use of this money for loan purposes
would necessitate the issuance of
treasury certificates of Indebtedness
and that an issuance of corporation
bonds probably would be decided upon
instead.

(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Hearings
on the house emergency tariff bill
were decided upon today by the Sen
ate finance committee. They will be-
gin Thursday and end next Tuesday.
The committee also agreed to reopen
hearing on the soldier bonus bill on
Jan. 13.
Chairman Penrose, presiding for the
first time in 13 months, explained that
his office had received many re-
quests for further opportunity to dis
cuss both the tariff measure and the
soldier aid bill, and did not oppose
the hearings. Members of the COM
mittee said. however, that he had
made 1t clear that he was opposed
TO affirmative action of the senate on
the tariff measure.
After the meeting. Senator Penrose
dictated statement saying that "un-
doubtedly both measures would be
reported to the Senate" However, he
ventured no opinion as to the probable
action there.
Row Is Rumored.
Although members of the committee
declined to discuss in detail what had
transpired behind the closed doors
of the committee room, the impress
sion went out that the session had de-
veloped something bordering on a
row. One senator said. there was
sharp talk"
Chances of the bill in the senate
are believed not to have been i'm
proved by the return of the Pennsyl-
vania senator to that body. While
Senator Penrose yesterday, without
any definite expression of his attitlde
on the measure, he indicated a desire
to bury it in committee.
