HIT CONTRACT
$6,5OO YEAR DIG
ON SCHOOL CITY
Gives Woodruff Place Pupils
$4,000 Education at
Cost of $500.
BOARD NOT CONSULTED

By the terms of contract entered
into by George C. Hit, business d.
rector Of the board of school COM
missioners, without the approval or
authorization of that body, and Cor
don Varney, president of the school
board of Woodruff Place, children OF
that corporation are being educated
in the high schools of Indianapolis
at exactly the same cost to Woodruff
Place as twenty-six years ago.
This means an approximate loss to
the school city Of Indianapolis of about
$500 a year, as Woodruff Place pays the
school city about $500 for education
that. according to Mr.. Hits own figures,
costs the city $4,000 to supply. It means
that residents Of Woodruff Place pay for
the education of their children consider
ably less than one-half as much as do
residents of Indianapolis, and Indianapo-
lis taxpayers make up the deficit.
Moreover, according to a letter TO
Clarence E. Crippin, member Of the
board of school commissioners. signed
by Lannes McPhetridge, secretary OF
the Woodruff Place school board, the
contract was entered into In the latter
part of February, 1921, but was predated
as of September, 1920. 1t was brought
out that the agreement had not been
submitted to the board for approval.
GADD PREsIDEs
AT STORMY MEETING.
The whole matter was brought TO
light at stormy meeting of the school
board last night presided over by Bert
s. Gadd in the absence Of Mrs. Julia
Belle Tutewiler, president of the board,
who is i'll. After an hour of discus
sion, which at times reached the point OF
bitterness and was marked by some
lively exchanges between Mr. Crippin
and Mr.. Hit, and the reading of in |
teresting and spirited correspondents
between Mrs. Tutewiler and Albert
Baker, attorney for the board, the en-
tire matter was referred to a committee
composed of Mr.. Crippin, Mr.. Gadd and
W. D. Allison with authority to EN-
ploy legal counsel, but not until Charles
L. Barry, member of the board, had
voiced strenuous objections to the action
He was outvoted three to one, how
ever, Messrs. Crippin, Gadd and Allison
voting against him.
Several days ago Mrs. TutewiIer ad-
dressed a letter to Mr.. Baker in which
she said that the board was desirous Of
obtaining his opinion in the matter.
After the meeting last night Mr. Allison
said he knew nothing of any board action
In the matter, and had never heard of it
until that evening, while Mr. Berry said
ne had heard of it only through ouL-
side sources the day before and that to

In selecting Judge Kenessw Mountain
lands, Charles G. Dawes and Henry j..
Ryan as the three speakers for the big
Americanization meeting at the Gipsy
Smith tabernacle Saturday night, the
committee in charge obtained men whom
it believes typify the spirit of Ameri-
canism.
Probably no Federal Judge in the
United States is as well known as Judge
lands. For many years he has been
picturesque, outstanding figure In the
judiciary Of the country, and 1t was to
him that the eyes Of the baseball world
turned, following the exposures Of
crooked" games in the world series OF
191. Although living in Chicago, Judge
Lands Is Hoosier by birth and never
has broken the ties that have linked him
with Indiana.
Internationally the most popular man
in the United States today among former
members of the American expeditionary
forces. is Charles G. Dawes, the man
who "cussed OUT the Congressional
Committee investigating war expendl-
lures so effectively.
BRIGADIER GENERAL
WITH A. f. FORCES.
During the war Mr.. Dawes served as a
brigadier general in the purchasing de-
partment Of the United States Army In
France. Several months ago when Con-
gress began to probe into Army expen-
ditures a number OF men prominent In
the war were called before the House
committee and subjected to criticism
that was considered by many to be carp
ing and petty.
Among those who appeared were Gen.
eral Pershing, Herbert Hoover and
Charles NJ schwab. Then one day along
came Dawes The committee did not
question Dawes--Dawes Just took the
matter into HIS own hands and questioned
the committee Never in the history OF
Congress has there been such display
Of pyrotechnical profanity as produced by
Mr.. Dawes. He defended the American

TODD SAYS ALL
TERMS MET BY
CAR COMPANY
improvements Made After
Commissions Grant of In
creased Fares.

The Indianapolis Street Railway Com
pnay has carried out all Of the require
ments of the order Of the public service
commission issued when fares were first
increased and setting out improvements
that must be made. Robert I. Todd, pres
ident of the company, testified today in
the hearing before the public service COM
mission on the companys petition for in
creased fares.
Mr.. Todd testified that extensions had
been made on College avenue, Shelby
street and on the Brookside line; that
the company had purchased twenty five
new cars and rebuilt twenty others; that
wages had been increased, that more men
had been employed and that the service
generally had been greatly improved, all
in compliance with the order of the com
mission. He said the first wage increase
added so per cent and that there had
been two small increases since that one.
The revenues of the company have not
been sufficient to make additional ex-
tensions and improvements which are
necessary. Mr.. Todd testified. He said
the only way money can be obtained is
to have a sufficient surplus to protect
investors
STARVATION POLICY"
GIVEN CENSURE.
THE starvation policy of Samuel Ash
by, corporation council for the city Of
Indianapolis, is the worst thing possible
for the city," he said. IF we cannot pro-
vide facilities the city suffers as much
as the company"
Mr.. Todd told the commission that the
increases asked for in the petition are
only sufficient to keep the breath Of life
in the company. He said they will not
give the company sufficient revenues to
make improvements.
'If the company does not construct
power substations within year or two
we can't see how we can keep on giving
service" he said. 1--WE need car shops
where savings can be made; we need ad-
ditional barns and more cars. The
amounts we ask for are not sufficient
to obtain these things"
Ferdinand Winter, counsel for the COM
pany, asked the witness If 1t is possible
for the company to obtain loans except

until a few days ago, when they
were ordered to go there by the
cohrt.
We have looked into these kennels
for your dog, Vernon, and we do not
believe "Bobbie" is there. But we
cannot be sure because we cannot
take you there to see.
THERE MAY BE
CHANGES IN TIME.
Our heart holds a lot Of sympathy
for you, young man, in your boy
hood trouble, and 1t holds q lot
more for the dozens Of other boys in
this State who are today mourning
for their Puppies" while Puppies
Of all kinds and descriptions are
waiting their ends in the death
Kennels at the college behind the
neat sign, "No Admittance."
Perhaps some day this big instt-
tuition which was founded for the
purpose Of educating young people to
right living and love Of humanity will
grow ashamed OF itself and cease
causing youthful heartaches over
stolen pets like "Bobbie."
Perhaps some day the men who run
It will care enough about the boys
and girls and older people Of this
State to make sure that they do not
get their pets away from them.
Perhaps some day in the near fu-
ture the long arm of the law will
reach out to this institution near the
Long Hospital and tear away those
signs and locks and say to boys like
you who have lost their dogs that
they are welcome to come there and
look for their pets.
LETS VERNON IN
ON SECRET.
For Vernon. just between Us, things
generally get so bad that they right
themselves after a while and these
big men who do not ike to be "both-
cred" find out, In time, that there
is a lot less bother about being hu-
man and humane than there Is about
taking chances with other peoples
property and with the laws against
cruelty to animals
We hope they awaken soon, Yer
non, for 1t isn't any more pleasant
than 1t Is necessary to think that
somewhere boy or a girl is swal-
lowing a lump in the throat and look
ing everywhere for a playmate that

some people do not care for the suf-
ferings Of animals and kids.

LEMAUX FAVORS
SOUTH SIDERS
Past Forgotten in Question
of Rerouting Virginia
Avenue Cars.

A bid for q return to the good graces
Of residents Of the south side was made
by George Lemaux. president of the
board of public works. today when he
gave a delegation some assurance that
the board viii attempt TO work out a
scheme of rerouting of the Virginia ave-
nue. street cars so they VIII touch Wash
ington street.
All Of these cars now loop through
Maryland, PENNSYLVANIA Georgia Merid-
ian and Maryland streets.
The south siders, according to Robert
r. Sloan, president of the Southeastern
Improvement Association, want the cars
to loop through Maryland, Meridian and
Washington streets and Virginia avenue,
as they used to before the old Virginia
avenue viaduct was torn down.
Mr.. Lemaux got out of favor with the
south side residents a few weeks ago
when he and Mark NJ. Miller. a board
member, voted to extend Shelby street
through to Washington street by way of
Cruise street instead of directly through
on a continuation of the Shelby street
line.
Mr. Sloan pointed out the fact that
thousands of patrons of the Virginia ave-
nue. lines are inconvenienced by having
to walk two or three extra blocks to
transfer to lines going to other sections
of the city under the present routing.
Mr.. Lemaux occasioned some surprise
when he said: Personally l think that
the Virginia avenue cars can be routed
into Washington street They went that
way before and it can be done again 1t
isn't fair to the south side to take all
their cars away from the main business
thoroughfares any more than 1t would
be fair to take all the north side cars
away. If we can't find a way to get all
the Virginia avenue line cars on Wash
ington street I believe at least the cars
from the lines could be routed there"

Original South Side Women's Club, pre-

CHICAGO, March SO.-Five separate
Investigations into the explosion which
yesterday took a toll of eight known
dead and wrecked an entire block in the
heart of Chicago's Ghetto" are under
way today. One man is under arrest and
the police are seeking two others whose
alleged negligence in keeping a large
quantity of fireworks and explosives
stored in a warehouse within the city

sible for the disaster.

partners in the firm of Singer & Sehaffer
disappeared after the explosion, and are
being sought by the police. Max Singer
a nephew of William Singer, is being
held.
The death list stood at eight. the bodies
Of six men and two women having been
removed from the debris. 1t is the be-
lief Of FIRE authorities that two other
bodies win be found. Four of the in
jured, who number sixty, are not ex-
pected TO recover.
FIRM INVOLVED
By CONFESSION.
An alleged confession made by Max
Singer that four men were at work
manufacturing cannon crackers, torpe-
does and other explosive fireworks in the
Singer & Schaffer warehouse, caused
Fire Attorney Shirley High to place
blame for the disaster on that firm. High
declared that the firm had several hun
dreds pounds of black gunpowder and
saltpeter stored in the warehouse, con-
trary to the provisions of a city ordi-
nance. City officials declare that Singer

Vernon Robinson,
1713 Noriyke ayenr

Vernon Robinson,
171S Nordyke avenue,
Dear Vernon Much as we would
like to help You, we can not find
your dog for you. He isn't at the
dog pound where stray dogs are
supposed to go and If he has not re-
turned TO you by this time, you will
have TO reconcile your heartaches
friendly muzZle Is poking into the face
of some other young man who cares
for him like you do.
There is a chance. Of course, that
he is one Of the unfortunate pups
that fell into the hands of the
negro who gathered up dogs for the
Indiana Medical School We do not
know whether he was or was not
and the Medical School is not kind
enough to let you look over the dogs
1t has locked up there to see.
The big college men who run this
institution say they can not be
bothered with the running in and
out Of the riffraff" of Indianapolis,
just on account of a few dogs and
so, IL your little Puppy" fell into
the hands of the negro who stole
dogs TO sell them to the college,
the chances are you will never see
him again.
BIG DOCTORS SAY
1T Is NECESSARY.
Vernon, we hate to think that your
'Bobbie" is out there in that cold
concrete pen waiting his time to be
strapped into a trough and cut in
to pieces In order that medical
students can gain practice to help
them cut up human beings.
We hate to think that II "Bobbie"
isn't killed by the first operation he
viii be thrown back into the pen In
the hopes that he will get we'll to be
carved up again and again until he
dies.
But the big doctors tell us that this
is necessary and, OF course, they are
too busy to pay any attention to
what dogs they get for these opera
tions. They just leave that to others.
Vernon, and they do not want to
know where the days come from II
they did know and other people
knew, they might have difficulty in
getting the kind of dogs they like to
cut up best.
OF course, Vernon, all this Is
against the law. And we have po-
lieemen who are supposed to do
nothing else but see that this law is
not broken. There are four Of them
and they draw pay from the city
as sergeants. Bur they do no. work

Y. M. C. A. APPOINTS
NEW BOARD TO HELP
PROMOTE ACTIVITIES

The activities board of the Y.
M. c. A., which was recently
formed by the board of directors
of the Y, and the directors board
met at a dinner last evening at
the Y. M. c. A. There were thirty
men present, including members
of both boards.
The chief business Of the meet
ing was the launching of a new
enterprise, that of making the ac-
tivities of the organization more
effective, by the work of the board
formed for that purpose. Charles
Puehler, travelling Industrial Sec
rotary of San Francisco. was the
chief speaker. He discussed the
association, pointing out that the
reason it. has grown was due to
it's being an association instead Of
an institution. The speech was
inspiring in its clear outlining of
the benefits to be derived from
the adoption of an activities board.
At the close of the meeting. the
activities board remained and
elected II. H. Ackerson as chair
man of the board; Van Olson as
secretary; August Johnson as head
of the boys department; Guy
Lauderbaugh as head of the phys
ical department; Allen Bruce
and s. G. Brasher as heads of the
economic and membership branch
es; DR.. ]. L. Harris as head Of the
social department; II. P. Donald
son as head Of the educational
