SMALL IN HIS OFFICE
AS SHERIFF WATCHES
IN CORRIDOR BELOW
lRv Associated Pressl

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 9.-Sher-
iff Mester's efforts to arrest Governor
Small late today had developed into
a game of "watchful waiting" with
the sheriff on the lower floor of the
capitol armed with his warrant and
the governor in his office above.
Governor Small went to his office
at 10 o'clock this morning, remained
there during the lunch hour, and an
nounced through his secretary that he
would not depart until 5 o'clock to-
night
In the meantime, Sheriff Mester
paced the lower corridor calmly smok-
ing a cigar and prepared to wait un-
til the governor appeared.
The game of strategy was watched
by state house employees and by the
governors political friends, who kept
advised as to the sheriff's movements.
Il have had a good lunch and can
wait awhile Sheriff Mester said, as
he sat down in a comfortable chair.
The sheriff explained his waiting
police by saying that technicalities
might be raised if the governor was
arrested at his desk while transacting
state business.
George B. Gillespie, one of the gov
ernor's counsels, was waiting near the
door of the executive Office. The
sheriff said he could wait as long as
the governor.

WAY out OF CHAOS
IS THROUGH CHRIST,
SAYS LONDON EPISTLE


Proposals from Quarterly meetings
read at the opening session of Indi-
ana Yearly meeting held at East Main
street Friends church, Tuesday, in
cluded four requests that Indiana
Yearly meeting adopt the old time
of session, about the middle of Sep
tember. The matter will be left for
action by the representatives.
Portland Quarterly meeting directed
a proposal that the Richmond Decla-
ration of Faith be the only authoritive
doctrine, and that Indiana Yearly
meeting should ask the Five Years
meeting of Friends in America, to re-
move the words, but they should not
be adopted as creed" from the de-
claration. The communication stated
that these words had a tendency to
minimize the importance of the de-
clared faith. The permanent board
of the yearly meeting will consider
the proposal and report upon it later
in the session.
Refer Proposal.
That another quarterly meeting be
constituted, embracing Puget Sound,
Columbia and Alberta quarterly meet
ings, was the proposal by Puget Sound
quarterly meeting. This proposal was
referred to the permanent board for
consideration.
Commenting upon the world of to-
day as being one 'in great and dire
need, world in confusion, and one
that has lost its faith and the bond of
active confidence" the London Gen
eral Epistle suggested the way out to
/ be through Christ. In part the epistle
read:
! Dear friends, if this stirring vision
of the true way of life for men is
ours, it demands from each of US. and
from our whole society. a deeper sin
cerity and wider consistency in act
and relationship. We need to show to
| men and the whole life the reality OF
our convictions and of our inward ex
| fort which God asks of the human
! race
Way Out of Chaos
| "The bitter aftermath of the war is
peace that is not a peace. Europe
! is still in the ENGAGEMENT of fear
| The partial disarmament which has
taken place is upon no sure basis ol
goodwill. Economic and political con
ditions are full of unrest. Men feal
for the future Of our civilization anc
cry out for sane and strong leader

"The way of Christ is the annswel
to the way of chaos. The way o
! Christ is to see men as souls that mus
answer to the call of the spirit"

LLOYD GEORGE, BRAND,
TO CONFER PRIVATELY
ON SILESIAN MATTERS
(By Associated Pressl

PARIS, Aug. 9.-Premier BRAND of
France and Mr.. Lloyd George, prime
minister of England, have decided at
a private meeting upon a compromise
partition of Upper Silesia, it was de-
clared here today on good authority.
The compromise boundary line is
understood to have been drawn ap-
proximately as follows:
Beginning west of Pless on the Wis
tula river and running west of Glei-
witz. west of Tost and Gross-Strehlitz,
north to between Rosenberg and
kreusburg, and thence to the frontier
of northern Upper Silesia.
When the question came up as to
the sending of additional French
troops as reinforcements the British
delegation voted against such action.
Asperity Disappears.
With today's meeting of the allied
supreme council here to consider the
betweet the French and British dele
cations over the Silesian boundary ap.
parently had disappeared.
Both sides are agreed, it seems, that
there must be compromise over this
question and that the unity of the
allied powers cannot be wrecked over
a matter so relatively unimportant.
The council resumed formal hear
ings of the Upper Silesian experts
today, but no one seemed really inter
ested in what they had to say.
The conference thus far has shown
marked contrast to the bitter con
tentions of the San Reno, Paris, Bou
logne and London supreme council
meetings. In this connection Mr.
Lloyd George, the British prime min
lister, is quoted as having remarked
that the mere presence of the Ameri
can ambassador had a stabilizing ef
feet, it being felt that he brought with
him a calm outside view that tended
to soften the sharpness of the contro
verSy.

The mayor of a city such as Rich
mond, should devote all his time To
the job of being the executive of that
city. He should be familiar with all
the various departments of the city,
especially its financial affairs, as it
is in these that the people are most
directly interested.
He should have the ability to bring
about the enforcement of laws and
ordinances which will protect the so
cial life of his constituents; and he
should be able to surround himself
with a group of men in his appointive
positions in whom the entire citizenry
has confidence"
This is the general outline of the
kind of administration which Baltz
A. Bescher, present city controller,
promised in announcing himself as a
candidate for the mayors office.
Mr.. Bescher has been connected
with the affairs of Richmond for sew
eral years. He served two terms ac-
city clerk, and is just completing a
four year term as city controller.
In both official positions which he
has held Mr.. Bescher has been recog-
niZed as an efficient worker and one
who made himself familiar with every
duty of his office.
He is recognized as an authority on
city finances and his long connection
with the clerks office and council has
made him familiar with all city legis.

URGES DISARMAMENT
WORK ALONG lines
OF DRY ACTIVITIES

Recommendation that an interna-
tional movement for disarmament be
started among the peoples of all
nations, and that a movement organ
lied along the lines of the anti-saloon
league be started in this country. were
outstanding points of short talk
made in the business session of the
Hicksite Friends church Tuesday
morning, by Albert j. Brown, OF In
dianapolis.
The matter came up in the course
of a discussion of the report of the
philanthropic committee on work COW
cred in the past year. The report
mentioned the fact that substantial
reduction in the army had been made
recently
There is an organization in this
country which is full of hope for
peace. said Mr. Brown. Frederick j.
Libby is at its head and 5. Edgar
Nicholson is one of his assistants. The
plan is to organize the whole United
States along lines similar to that of the
anti-saloon league, which has been so
successful. Such plan would call for
state superintendents and agents. with
national organization, controlling
the whole.
Funds could be raised through the
churches"
Gambling Scored.
1.-The demand for disarmament
should be carried to every nation, said
Mr. Brown. There is such an or
ganization in Germany and Japan
operating today. Fear lies at the bot
tom OF most of the distress in the
world today. We fear many things

BRITAIN may PROTEST
SEIZURE OF SCHOONER
fBy Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 9.-Great Britain, it
is understood. intends to protest to
the United States if it is decided tha
America violated international law by
seizing the liquor-laden schooner
Henry L. Marshall outside the three
mile limit off Atlantic City last week
Such a protest, 1t was said, would be
merely a formality, as Great Britain
is not interested in the case except
as it might establish a precedent for
such seizures.
Should not protest be made, II is
pointed out, it would place Great Brit
ain in the position of sanctioning such
action, which might give rise to diff
culties should a British ship be seized
by some other country in international
waters.
