TREATY'S DOOM
is PRONOUNCED
BY HARDING
u. S. Can Not Ratify Yer
sailles Pact, Is Positive
Announcement.
CAUTION RULES FUTURE

WASHINGTON, April 5-The doom
of the treaty of Versailles SO far as the
United States ls concerned, was pro-
nOunced definitely by President Harding
today.
In unmistakeable words, the President,
speaking to newspaper men, made 1t
clear he was convinced there is no prac-
tical way in which the United States
can consider ratifying the treaty.
Harding denied however, that he has
approved immediate action on the Knox
peace resolution.
There is no need, according to Hard
Ing, for precipitate action in regard to
the Knox resolution. He indicated,
however, that he saw no particular
ason for a marked reversal of the po-
sition he took when he voted for the
Knox resolution in the Senate and when
he indorsed it in his speech of acceptance
during the campaign.
At the outset of his interview with the
newspaper men Harding denounced re-
ports that he approved the plan espoused
by the Senate irreconciIables calling for
immediate adoption Of the Knox meas
ure.
These reports, he made clear, are en-
tirely unauthentic The President in
sisted that he is committed to no definite
program and declined to discuss any pos
sible plan at present. He indicated,
however, that the whole subject Of inter
national relations would be dealt with in
his message TO Congress next week.
1t was indicated that whatever steps
are taken would come along piecemeaL
1t was emphasized that the Administra-
tion is going TO move cautiously and pru-
IDENTIFY in solving the situation.
SUBJECT OF LONG
TALKS WITH VIYIANI.
The peace resolution has been the
subject Of long and earnest con
versations with Rene Yiyiani, the special
envoy Of France. and Republican mem
bers of the Foreign Relations Committee.
VIYIANI VISIT
PAVES WAY.
The French regarded the Knox resolu-
tion as thing Of terror, seeing in 1t a
notice to the world that the United States
was pulling away from her late allies
and making a separate peace with Ger
many with no safeguard for Frances fu
ture safety.
When the purpose and interest of the
Knox resolution were fully explained to
NJ. Yiviani and he was assured that when
finally presented IL would contain dec
laration Of policy" warning Germany
that the United States would regard fu-
ture German milltaristlc moves as d.
rectly menacing American interests. the
distinguished Frenchman is reported to
have thrown his hands aloft In a charac-
teristic gesture and exclaimed ''Yoila =!
Assurance that the resolution viii con
tain a strong note OF warning to Ger
many and probably a declaration OF
friendship and support to our late allies
has practically done away with French
opposition. NJ Yiviani is reported to
have said that his government would re-
gard with high satisfaction such a dee
laration by the United States Senate,

vi. BLEIWEISS'
REPRIEVE ENDS
But Man Sentenced to Thirty
Days in Jail Continues
at Liberty.

Disregarding the termination of n
ninety day reprieve, which was grantee (
by the former pardoning Governor, James
p. Goodrich, on Jan. 4, 1921, Maurice
Bleiweiss, who was sentenced to serve
thirty days in jail and fined 500 on a
charge of assault and battery In the
Criminal Court on May %, 1917, was at
liberty this afternoon when he failed to
surrender himself to the sheriff of Marion
County. His reprieve expired yesterday,
but Bleiweiss is not in jail and is re
ported at liberty by Sheriff George Sni-
der
Before Bleiweiss has served a single
day Of his sentence, he has asked a par
don from the State board of pardons,
His case probably will be included In the
report to be made by the board tom0r-
row.
LONG EVASION
OF SENTENCE.
Since May %, 1917 Bleiweiss has sue
cessfully evaded serving his sentence.
He first appealed to the State Supreme
Court on June f. 1917 and the higher
court affirmed the trial court on Nov.
26 1910.
On Jan. A. 1921, Bleiweiss was taken
in custody and delivered 10 the sheriff
at the Jail He was there only a few
hours when former Governor Goodrich
wrote out a ninety day reprieve and
virtually set aside the decision of the
highest court In Indiana.
The records of Judge James A. Collins
of the Criminal Court show that Blei-
weiss paid fines and costs amounting
to $136,70 and the record shows that on
June 6. 1917, "by order of the court the
fine and costs were returned to the
defendant"
CASE GREW OUT
OF COLLISION.
Bleiweiss was charged, according to
attaches of the Criminal Court, with as
sault and battery growing out Of a
collision with a motorcycle. It.is stated
that one of the men on the motorcycle
later died from injuries said to have been
sustained in the collision.
The record shows that the favored one
was not tried by jury, but by the court
who imposed a sentence of thirty days in
jail and a fine of $100.
Bleiweiss' appeal bond to the Supreme
Court was signed by George G. Blue as
surety ca tAs 81 600 b@ezA

WIDENING BREACH
APPARENT SOME TINE.


For some time past it has been ap-
parent that there has been a constantly
widening breach between a majority OF
the board and Mr.. Baker. On several Oc-
casions he has handed in opinions that
plainly were discOncerting and unwel-
come to the majority Several weeks ago
he advised the board to follow the wishes
OF the State board Of accounts in regard
to criticisms made by that board Of
plans and specifications for engineering
In school buildings, prepared by the firm
Of Snider & Rotz, engineers for the board.
His reference to the State board as be-
ing superior to the school board did
not please some of the members. How
ever, the climax came at the last meeting
8of the board when an opinion was re-
Aeived from Mr.. Baker in regard to the
gaIity of the contract entered into with
school board Of Woodruff Place.
his contract was signed by Mr
business director OF the board, with
having been referred to the board or
&Qved by it. By the terms of the con-
2 s5s Woodruff Place children were edu-
in the high schools Of the city at
ssn HRproximate loss to Indianapolis Of
S6.5s0Na year.
M1s. Julia Belle Tutewiler, president Of
the board. addressed a letter to Mr..
Baker, asking him the following 1ues-
tions:
Does such a contract need to be
submitted to the board for apprOval7
Can the business director without
consulting the board or reporting. to
the board the contract for approval
have authority to bind the school
city to such a contract?
If such a contract is Illegal can
the board rescind il or refuse to ap-
prove It?
If there is a loss to the school city
by reason of the execution Of the
contract by the business director,
and the contract is found to be IL
legal, is the business director liable
on his bond for an unauthorized act?
REFERRED To
COMMITTEE.
With the exception Of the third ques-
ton Mr.. Baker answered every one Of
them in the negative. The answer was
the cause of a bitter discussion at the
last meeting of the board, Clarence E
Crippin and Bert S. Gadd being particu-
larly strong in disapprOval of the opin-
ion while Charles L. Barry defended it.
After a long argument the matter was
referred to a committee composed of
Messrs. Gadd, Crippin and Allison. with
At the time the name of Merle n. A.
Walker was mentioned as the attorney
whose services would be obtained
1t is believed that this action resulted
In Mr.. Bakers resignation, although he
has refused to make a public statement.
A number of lawyers have been men
toned as the probable successor of Mr..
Baker. and it is believed that Mr.
Walker has the inside track on the pO-
sition If he desires it.

ayers having advised city employees who
desired to openly support the auti-ad-

pretend TO support Mr.. Howe for the
sake Of holding their Jobs and feeding

up a show of getting In line for Mr..

refused to be driven
One such was T. NJ. Grcenlee, assistant
clerk Ia the city civil engineering depart
ment Mr.. Greenlee was one of the

Jewett four years ago 1t is a fact well
known around the city hall that while
salaries OF other employees in the engi-
neering department have been raised
several times during the Jewett admin
istration that the assistant clerk has
remained stationary. The mayor, it is
said, promised to see that his salary was
raised in proportion to the others, but
failed to keep his promise.
Consequently. Mr.. Greenlee has not
been so whole hearted in his support of
the city administration as he once was.
