REGISTRATION
Voters Lax in Making Sure
of a Vote in City
Election.

Registration was very i4ght in prac-
tically all of the 1855 city precincts re-
ports to both Republi an and Democratic
headquarters this afternoon showed
Thomas S. Meeker Democratic city
chairman, said he does not expect the
total registration to reach more than
35 per cent of the total vote in the last
election. Joseph l.. Hogue in charge
of registration for the Republican city
committee, stated that In many precincts
not more than 10 per cent of the vote
was polled in the morning. but that he
believes that the afternoon and evening
registrations will bring the total to 80
per cent of the full voting strength,
which he has been predicting for several
days
Mr.. Meeker made survey of the north
side this morning He said that very
little interest was being shown there,
particularly in strong Republican dis
tricts. No accurate reports had been re-
ceiyed from the south side. he said
The reports received by Mr. Hogue in
dicated that the light registration pre-
vailed throughout the city in the early
hours.
Every person who votes in the Novem-
her city election must be registered
either today or not later than Oct 10,
the second registration day. Party lead
ers are urging voters to get the job off
their hands today so there would be no
danger whatever of their putting 1t off
until the last day and then forgetting
it.
The registration places will be open

.uff murder mystery" became a puzzling
double murder this afternoon when the
body of Carl Ausmus, an automobile
salesman. was found in shed In the

chief suspect in the mysterious murder.
Ausmus was the companion Of Bernard
J. Daugherty, Packard automobile sales
man, whose body was found handcuffed
and mutilated, in the Despiaines River
yesterday.
Finding of the body of Ausmus in the
shed strengthened the police theory that
he and Daugherty were the victims of
automobile thieves.
Stoutly maintaining his innocence in
the face OF an accumulation of incrlm-
mating evidence, Harvey ". Church is
being brought back to Chicago from
Adams, Wis, as the chief suspect in Chi

tary, Naval and Eco
nOmic Experts.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The United
States has made a number of tentative
proposals concerning the program to be
followed at the coming November con-
ference on Limitation of armament and
Far Eastern affairs and these are now
being considered by the Invited powers,
it was disclosed at the state Department
today.
The nature of the suggestions made was
not revealed, but 1t was stated officially
that "satlsfactOry progress Is being made
in the working out of the agenda-"
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.
WASHINGTON, Sept 1O.-Presi-
dent Harding has announced that the
American delegation at the forth
coming six-power conference on linn
itation of arms ments would consist
of Secretary Hughes, Elihu Root,
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and Sen
ator Oscar W. Underwood. The an
nouncement was accompanied by the
information that the number of dele
gates, in the case of each participat-
ing power, would, by agreement al
ready reached, be limited to four.
Thus, when the conference is dis
cussing principles and policies in
the Pacific and the Far East" there
will be, including the delegates of
China, twenty-four commissioners at
the round table. When ornaments
alone are under consideration, the to-
tai will be twenty-five delegates of
America, Great. Britain, France, Italy
and Japan.
Mr.. Harding is confident the country
will agree with him that he has selected
four Outstanding eminent and also
American citizens to speak for the
United States at the conference. The
Presidents strong affiliations with the
Senate and his scrupulous regard for the
prerogatives of petty government" are
manifest in his choice of both the Re
publican and Democratic leaders of the
upper branch of Congress Mr.. Lodge
owes his appointment TO the conference
delegation to the dual fact of his head
Ing the Foreign Relations Committee and
leading the Republican party Ia the
Senate. Mr.. Underwood's selection may
be ascribed to two circumstances, too
that he is the Democratic leader Of the
Senate and President Hardings warmest
friend among the political opposition in
Congress.
ROOT KNOWN
THROUGHOUT WORLD.
Elihu Roots inclusion IN the confer
ence delegation has been a fOregOne con
clusion ever since the Presidents project
was formulated two months ago As a
former United States Senator and Sec
retary OF State, with wide knowledge Of
international law and towering Feputa
tion throughout the world as an author
ity on foreign affairs, Mr.. Roots ap-
pointment always has been regarded as
Inevitable. He will be the one member
of the American delegation with personal
acquaintance among the statesmen OF
Europe and the Far East In both cases

MANY PUPILS
GET HALF DAY
CLASSES ONLY
Crowded Conditions
Faced by Schools at
Opening Monday
10000 ATTENDANCE
First Day Record in
Number of Students
Expected to Be Made

Because the State board of tax
commissioners has blocked the con-
struction program of the indianapolis
board of school commissioners
throughout the summer, the public
schools will be opened Monday fac
ing the prolonged necessity of half
day classes for a number of pupils
and the housing of hundreds in the
old, unsatisfactory portables or in
new, two-room structures of the
same type
School officials said they could not esti-
mate the number Of pupils who will have
to go to school only half time, beyond
the probability that approximately one
half of the beginners, those in the lB
grade, will be so handicapped. The sit
uation, however, is not so bad as II was
at the close OF school last spring, accord
ing to Business Director Ralph W. Doug
las, because thirteen pieces of construc-
ton, representing an outlay of between
$4,000, 900 and $1,000, 600, will be ready for
occupancy either on Monday or between
then and Jan. /.
Superintendent of Schools + L. Graft
said the attendance on the opening day
Will be between 1000 and 700 higher
than on the same day in 1920, because
Of the normal average increase of 1000
per year and the new State school at
tendance law compelling pupils to re-
main at their studies until they have
passed the eighth grade. The old limit
was the sixth grade.

ATTENDANCE MONDAY.
The opening day attendance in 1870
was 1925 in the grades and 400 IN
the high schools. 3s,6l5 in all. Ofnclals

figure runs more than 1000. This does
not represent the fnll attendance
