INDIANAPOLIS, May S.-Foundatiou
for legal battle over the indictment
in the soft coal conspiracy case, in
which 226 operators, miners, retailers
and corporations in six states are ae-
cused of criminal partnership to in
crease prices, was laid so-day in the
Federal Court here when counsel for
the defense filed motions to quash the
Indictment.
No date for argument Of the numer-
GUS questions raised was set by Judge
Ferdinand Geiger, Of Milwaukee, pre-
siding in the absence Of Judge A. 3.
Anderson, who is sick. Counsel for
the government as we'll as the defense.
however. expected no further action
until fall.
Outstanding among the questions
raised by the motions to quash. filed
separately by the miners and opera
tors, was the contention that the anti
trnst act was suspended by the Lever
fuel control act, passed in 1917.
The defense also asserted that no
offense was charged to have been COM
mitted within the jurisdiction of the
Federal Court for Indiana, that more
than one conspiracy was attempted to
be charged by the government, and
that the Indictment did not sufficiently
inform the defendants of the charges
against them

By Aldermen

port at the Welfare Committees meet
ing on April 8, 1920. Ave days before it
came before the Board Of Aldermen
| for vote.
Mr.. Untermscrs introduced as evil
dence the report Of the Welfare Com
mittee, with the signatures Of eight Of
the ten members on the committee be-
meath the printed declaration, dsnoting
favorable report. At tho top was
pasted typed slip of paper with the
words without ommendation."
Alderman Beckerman said he was
amazed to find the mo recommends
tion" report, asserting he gave no
authorization to any one to change the
resolution he had signed. He de-
nounced the alteration as a "falsifca-
tion,'' and further called it a forgery. !"
He charged that o GREAT deal of "under-
hand work was going on, that it was
an outrage and didnt want anybody to
tamper with anything he had signed. .
He testified that sit was about time
that we cut out this forgery in the
Board of Aldermen"
Alderman Bostwick said he had re-
aterated in substance at the board
meeting what Alderman Beckerman had
said, declaring that, as the meter was
cheaper and had been approved by the
Commissioner of the Department Of
Water Supply, there was no reason
why it should have been opposed The
thing, however. he said, was not con
sldered on its merits, and the de-
feat OF the resolution was due to a
strictly party measure, thirty-six Dem
ocrats voting against it to twenty-six
Republicans for it.
Quotes Collins
The proceedings were all the more
peculiar, he declared, in view of the
fact that the meter had been recon-
mended for approval by eight of the
ten members in the committee, two
having refrained from voting. There
had been opposition, and Alderman
Collins, he testified, had said to Cetti:
Il believe this thing is on the level
Cetti, and / am for you. and we will
not keep you out any longer"
DO you remember, asked Mr.. I'm
Iermyer. whether any members of
the board denied your statement that
the report was not the report that YOU
had signed?"
"No, it was not denied"
Clarence c. Worden, a reporter for
The Standard Union, said she covered
the meeting of the board at which the
meter matter came up. An hour or
SO before the meeting, Worden said,
he had been told by prominent Demo-
cratic Alderman that ''the orders had
gone out to kill the resolution" An
other Democrat had told him that he
was going to vote for the meter, but
when it came UP he said he saw this
man go UP and whisper his vote in
the clerks ear.
When Assemblyman Leininger asked
Worden if he canvassed the vote on
the matter Worden replied he knew all
the Democrats voted to defeat the
resolution because they usually obey
orders"
Collins then took the stand and de-
MED he had promised Cetti to report
the matter out favorably. He said he
had at first decided to vote for the
resolution at the boards meeting, but
that he changed his mind after re-
marks of Alderman Robert 8. Allyn re-
ferring to corrupt Tan1many politi-
Clans"
Here Alderman Collins explained that
it was common practice for commit
tee members to sign their names to
blank reports, leaving the reports to

Made Solid Concrete by Use of Gal.
vanized Steel Reinforcement.

This is one of the most popular
houses, within the means OF the aver
age family. 1t has all of the modern
conveniences and style and regardless
Of the neighborhood in which it is
built, it will always hold its own in
attractiveneSS.
With a slight expense, the front
porch could be glazed and add greatly
TO the consciousness OF the living
room, and another feature which could
well be added without additional ex-
pense, would be to extend the front
windows to the floor, french style, and
have them open onto this glazed porch.
The porch floor In that case should be
made flush with the living room floor
so that in case the young people
would like to dance, they could
circle out one window and in the next.
No house is now complete without
a photograph, and the house which
entertains is the popular house in the
neighborhood.

AN AMERICAN IDEA.

An American architect is planning
the new library OF Louyain. That
beantifnl monument OF Fifteenth CEN
tury art which was destroyed by war
will be replaced By new building as
beautiful as the old and located In
harmony with a new municipal park
ing system. And something else will
be new. Mr. Warren says: IL will
probably plan the new library In Flem-
fsh renaissance, instead Of Flemish
Gothic. But my first duty will be to
construct a srockroom. and this will
be on modern American lines with
modern shelves" So. while American
art helps 10 repair the wars razing Of
an art treasure and American scholars
give books 10 help rebuild the famous
collection OF 100000 volumes that
was wholly destroyed, American prac-
teal invention finds Its place, toe. says

The policy has been in effect for

INDIVIDUAL FLYERS.

Inventors are turning their atteption
to the individual flyer. Though rs yet
he has not made his bow on the aerial
stage he has already been dubbed the
avietter. and his machine an aviette.
Curiously enough. II was the aviette
that was thought OF long before the
airplane. But the two, as Ii is now
seen, present vastly different mechan-
zeal problems. The airplane must
be built for speed and great attitudes
the aviette must stick close TO earth
and move with circumspection. We do
not know yet whether its pinions will
be planes. Then. there comes the
ticklish problem Of starting the avlet-
ter. He must rise and not taxi" nor
must he go up like a balloon. says
Christian Science Monitor. He must
be braked. and yet how Is II to be done
without disaster? He must be tpriirl
but you mustn't bank him. So there
Is still much to be done before the
human Icarus can make his debut and
be sure Of immunity from such un-
welcome sensations as tailspins. nose
dives. and sideslips.

The fact that children should be
studied individually, and not in the
mass. is a comparatively recent dis
covery. We are not far removed from
the days when children were flung into
schools to sink or swim. Certain of
them fioated to the top Of the class
and were regarded as clever; others re-
NAMED there by a system OF ridicule
and neglect. They were the ounces,

the educational authorities of that
period could never understand that SO

their mark In after-school life. and SO
