cal Collese-in the name of science.

valiant a champion as the Times. l de
light TO see these scientific 90 human
brutes hayed and spitted before an ap-
proving public. The people are mostly
human. They do not approve Of tho
needless torture of dumb and helpless
creatures even by doctors and medical
students Such practices are one in
cruelty with that Of the old painter Par
hassius who, to get the expression Of
mortal agony for his picture Of Pro

2 Girls Accuse
Negro Student
at ShOrtridge
Attempted Assault Leaks Out
Despite Precautions and
ROuSeS Race Feeling.

AS result Of an attempted assault
upon two white girls on a stairway Of
ShOrtridge High School last Tuesday,
by a young negro wearing the uniform
of a cadet, school authorities and others
are investigating race ree1ing which has
Ieached a high point in the school.
The utmost effort is being made to keep
secret the incident that is said to have
been a climax to a long series of hap
penings that have created considerable
concern to the Shortridge students and
their parents
The attempted assault in the school
building is reported TO have taken place
in a poorly lighted part Of the building
and the story as told by students is that
one girl was attacked by a partly dressed
negro whom she beat off and from whom
she escaped with n companion. leaving
the building about o'clock in the after
noon.
Since the incident the members Of the
high school faculty have been wrestling
with the problem Of how to answer de
mends for segregation of the negro and
the white pupils in a school where the
policy has been to treat them a equals.
Complaint is made that the white girls
who attend the school have been sub
jected to annoyances in the school lunch
room and in other parts of the building
and as a result many Of them are refus-
ing to enter the lunch room.
Members Of the Shortrdge faculty have
refused to discuss the attempted assault
and while It is reported that an attempt
has been made to identify the assailant
of the two girls, no action has a yet
been taken that would indicate the pun
ishment of the guilty negro.

RELIEF SCHEME
Harding Receives Report of
Committee on Disabled
Veterans.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Recommenda-
tions for soldiers relief were presented
to President Harding this afternoon by
Charles G. Dawes, chairman of the spe-
cial committee. appointed by the Presi-
dent TO investigate the problem Of car
ing for the disabled veterans.
The entire committee accompa MED
Dawes to the White House. but they were
not allowed to pose for the photographers.
NO, sir" said Dawes. This commit
tee does not pose. 1t is one committee
that has come TO Washington without
ranging itself alongside of the President
and posing for a picture. We came here
TO work. Our work is done. We are
through"
The report, it is understood, embodies
the following:
consolidation of all soldier relief
activities under a single administra-
tive head. who will be responsible
directly TO the President.
Decentralization of all officers so
that all parts of the country will be
reached.
Appropriation Of more funds for a
permanent disqualification program
There are various lesser details per-
tanning to the three fundamentals, which
were worked out on suggestions from the
experts who appeared before the com
mittee, but both American Legion Of
hcials and the heads of the bureaus con-
cerned expressed the feeling that the ac-
cOmplishment of the three main items
of the plan will be a long step toward
solution of the problem of caring for
disabled veterans.

The present city administration is US
ing the money of taxpayers Of Indian

the statements of Samuel Lewis Shank in

affidavit to support his charge.
The administration is charged, in Mr..
Shank's letter ard in the affidavit quoted,
with handing out. jobs at the city as

man employed pledge himself to support
Mr.. Howe's candidacy. AS the number
of men being employed is now large,

for support of Mr.. Howe a considerable
sum of the taxpayers money.

Dear Sir
The writer desires to call to your
attention a typical instance OF the
political chicanery by which the
present city administration seeks to
defeat the will Of the people in the

publicity to the condition.
Through several weeks of splendid
weather the city asphalt plant has
remained idle, Notwithstanding an
urgent need Of street repairs. Your
correspondent has called attention to
this condition in speeches repeatedly,
pointing out that operation Of the
city's plant at this time would serve
the double purpose of furnishing
work for idle men and remedying the
sad condition OF the streets of the
city.
The administrations reason for
keeping this plant idle has now come
TO light.
Jobs in the plant have been held
up until the proper moment for po-
litical utility. THE PLANT HAS
BEEN OPENED. But ONLY MEN

are among important arguments al

In the brief Mr.. Ashby holds that the

in the last two years than ever before

in 1921 to be at least $170, ,23906 more

ISSUE
GREATER THAN
YAP DISPOSAL
Hughes Note Raises Question
of Right to Decide Ma
tiOn's Case.
FUTURE HELD IN VIEW

WASHINGTON, April THE clear
issue Of the United States versus the
League Of Nations has been raised by
Secretary of State Hughes in his
forceful notes to the governments Of
Japan, Great Britain, France and
Italy on the question Of mandate ter
ritory, in the opinion of diplomats
and Senators who were engaged in
studying the communication today
OF deeper and more for-reaching i'm
portance than the mere disposal of t.
Island Of zap itself, in the issue raised
by Secretary Hughes as to whether the
League of Nations, as a world super
governing body, has the right TO make
decisions affecting the rights Of a pow
erful nation not a member Of the league
without even consulting the nation 5
wishes. Diplomats saw IN the Hughes
note a direct challenge to the league and
the solution Of the question thus raised,
they believed. will have an important
bearing on future decisions made at
Geneva
HUGHES HOLDS L. s.
RESERVE RIGHT.
Secretary Hughes has fatty informed
the United States can not recognize that
the United tates can not recognize that
they have any right whatsoever Ia de
Gliding questions where American rights
are concerned That right OF decision
1t was firmly pointed out, is a right that
this Government reserves entirely for
herself. At least this government insists
on a voice In the decision which wa
not accorded in the award OF zap TO
Japan.
This Government must therefore point
out" said the note, that as the United
States has never vested either the su-
preme council or the League OF Ma
tions with any authority to bind the
United States or TO act on Its behalf.
there has been no opportunity for any
decision which could be deemed to affect
the rights OF the United States
LEAGUE OPPONENTS
SHOW sATIFACTION.
The members Of the Uuited States Sen
ate who so bitterly and vigorously op
posed Americas entry into the league
were contemplating the situation with
no little satisfaction today.
II the league position is maintained
and Japan retains her authority In the
Island Of zap, given her by the league.
then the irreconcllable Senators see their
attitude toward the treaty justified
that the league is a world super gov
ernment' aud members lose their power
OF self determination in their own Affairs
when they enter II.
