BEST POSSIBLE
APPRAISERS
Seem to Be Keeping Pace
With City Board
Actions.

Coincident with the meeting of the In
diana war memorial board at the State
house to select an architectural adviser
and elect officers today the Marion County
commissioners took the first step towac -
carrying out their plan to acquire the
block allotted to the county to obain In
he memorial plaza scheme.
Tie commissioners considered the ap-
pointment Of five appraisers. Seven ap-
praisers ana two architectural advisers to
the appraisers, appointed by the city to
value the block which the city intends to
purchase will meet to organize and plan
their work at 10 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing.
we are co3ferring regarding the ap-
pointment of possibly FIVE appraisers to
fix the value of the various lots which
make up the south section of the plaza
site for which we have authorized a bond
issue of $9i5,000," President CarIin II.
Shank of the commissioners stated to-
day.
We will not issue bonds until we need
them, although the board has authorized
a total bond issue Of $915, ,000" Mr.. Shank
stated.
It is understood that the commissioners
have not decided definitely on the ap-
praisers. The appointing of the apprais-
ers is the first step under the law that
the commissioners must take.
The Indiana War Memorial board met
at the Statehouse at 2 o'clock this after
noon. The adviser to be chosen will as
sist the board in deciding upon the kind
of building to be erected in the Memo
mial plaza, with the $2,0OOO00 appropria-
ted by the Legislature and supervise the

SEWAGE PLANT
BONDS ORDERED
TOTAL $6OO,OOO
Sanitary Commissioners Pro
vide for Construction of
Disposal Outfit.

Advertising for the sale of 100000
worth Of sewage disposal plant construc-
tion bonds was ordered today in resolu-
tions adopted by the board Of sanitary
commissioners. One issue of $350,oO0 is
offered for bids Dec. II and another for
$3.50 900 for Dee. 80. Both are flve-year,
9 per cent issues.
The $780, 900 issue is one with which the
sanitary board has had considerable difii-
Guilty. 1t originally was advertised sew
eraI months ago. No bids were received
A few weeks ago it was readvertised and
several good bids obtained. The board
started TO award the issue to the Fletcher
Savings and Trust Company, but attor-
news for the bidder discovered that the
advertising specified that the Issue was
for both sewage disposal construction and
garbage collection equipment purchase.
AS adopted today the resolution calls
for the issue for sewage disposal con-
struction alone. The S250,000 issue also
is for sewage, disposal and is necessary
because bills have accumulated until they
will almost eat up the $350,000, 1t was
said.
The board also received bids upon ap
proximately $4,000 worth Of equipment
for the second unit of the sewage dis
posal plant. The equipment to be
bought includes four verticle motors,
one vacuum pump, two centrifugal
pumps, one Of 500 and the other of $50
gallon per minute capacity and misce.-
laneous electrical apparatus.

English to ALIOW
Germans Ample
Time for Debts
DR.. Rathenau Will Ask Britain
for Moratorium of Term
of Years.
By j. w T. MASON,

The presence In London OF DR.. Walter
Rathenau, former German minister of
construction to confer with Sir Robert
Horne British chancellor of the ex-
chequer, is the most important step since
the peace conference toward the economic
recovery Of Europe.
Sir Robert Horne believes Germany
must be allowed to regain her industrial
strength before Europe can return to
normal. He also believes Germany must
be given time to pay the indemnity. The
establishment OF moratorium whereby
Germany would pay nothing for term
OF years, Is being favorably considered
by the British.
DR.. Rathenaus journey to London un-
doubtedly is connected with these mo-
mentous matters Dr. Rathenau is Ger
many's real ruler. He has the fullest
confidence Of Chancellor Wirth. The
British government has had its own ex-
perts at work In Germany for some time
making reports on Industrial conditions.
DR.. Rathenau in London win be inter
rogated to furnish confirmation OF these
reports Both sources of information are
likely to show the need of urgent meas
ures to help the Germans to their feet.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-Shudders

was placed in evidence.
Michael Brown, deputy coroner. iden-
titled the organs removed from the body

appearance yesterday.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29-The State
was confronted today with the task OF
pulling down an imposing structure OF
innocence built up by counsel defending
Roscoe (Fatty) Arbuckle. charged with
manslaughter, the keystone of which was
the simple. yet fawless story told on
the stand by fthe defendant himself.
In rebuttal the State may attack only
such evidence as was presented by the
defense And so skilfully did the de-
fense build their case that there is little
left to attack BY eliminating character
witnesses, the defense left no lOoPhOle
through which the State might bring in
tales Of other gay parties to confound
the obese comedian.
Witnesses who have testified for the de-
fense, including Arbuckle, may be at
tackled in rebuttal as to truth and veracity.
Some Of the witnesses will be attacked,
but the defense so built its case that no
point depends upon the testimony of any
one witness.

COnUiCted as
'Tiger' Thrice
in T'WO Years
Stdnn, Betrayed by NeyU Nail,
Gets $3.50 Fine and $50
Days.

For the third time in less than two
years Charles s. Stann was found guilty
today in city court of operating a blind
tiger. This time he drew a fine Of $3.50
and a term of $50 days on the Indiana
State Farm. Stann lives on Raymond
street west of White River, southeast
Of the stockyards, and when he was
arrested Nov II Lieutenant Cox and a
squad of police, who went to his place
with a search warrant discovered one
of the cleverest and most carefully CON
cealed stills ever found in this county.
The whole carefully concocted scheme
was spoiled by one bright, new, shiny
nail that glittered among a lot of rusty
ones on the side of a corn crib.
When the police arrived Stann was
standing near n small corn crib. When
Lieutenant Cox examined it he noticed
the one new nail Calling for an AK he
was about to chop his way into the
crib when Stann said.
"Wait and I'll show you"
He then removed three ears of corn
which disclosed handle. Pulling this
handle opened a space sufficient to per
nit a man to pass through. A tunne
led from underneath the corncrib to {
larger crib not far away. Under thi!
crib was a big excavation In which wa
a ten gallon still merrily sizzling away
over a gasoline stove.
Stann was convicted in city court in
March, 1920, and was fined 800 and given
$50 days on the Indiana State Farm,
James P Goodrich, then Governor, came
TO his rescue after thirty days had been
served and granted Stann one of his
numerous pardons.
Later Stann was fined $50 and costs
on a blind tiger charge, but he escaped
without any days.
Following the finding of Judge Walter
Pritchard, Stann appealed. The appeal
bond of $1,000 was signed by Frank
Kish, 1415 Bridge street

BY col EDWARD M. HI

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 29.--The
statement made by BRAND, the edi-
torial comment in the London
Chronicle and Lord Curzon's add1 ess
delivered during the week should be
taken in sequence. Another item
should also be added to the list, and
that is the treaty which France re-
Gently concluded with Turkey.
There is no doubt that even the neutral
atmosphere Of Washington Is not suffi-
Client to keep the French and British
from exhibiting that sense of irritation
toward one another which has marked
their recent Intercourse. BRAND took but
little pains to conceal French feeling
toward the proposed plan for the limita-
tiOn of naval ornaments which leaves
France and Italy we'll out OF the picture
Nor did he hesitate to vent his opinion
regarding the Balfour proposal that
there should be a further limitation of
submarines and their uses.
ENGLISH ENVOY
Is HEARD.
Then comes the editorial comment Of
the Chronicle which Is commonly
thought TO be the mouthpiece Of Lloyd
George, particularly when foreign af-
fairs are under discussion. That this edi-
torial was inspired seems nearly certain
when taken with the later declaration Of
Lord Curzon. That paragraph which
says: Europe is not on the verge Of
another war. nor is the menace TO peace
either immediate or grave Germany is
effectively disarmed Today she has
neither guns or equipment which would
enable her TO dream Of attacking France"
sounds as II Lloyd George had dictated
It. II represents not only the views Of
the British government but OF the Brit
ish people as well.
Lord Curzon Is even more direct ana
emphatic. He tells the French that
their real strength does not lie In armies,
potential as they are but that 1t exists

'One Of Foreign Pow

"a Hours.
,JAPS CONCERNED
Worried Over Reports
on Public Opinion
at Home.
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The
final showdown on acceptance of the
American naval program was post
poned twenty-four hours today at the
request of one of the foreign delega-
tions.
The committee OF naval experts of
the Eve great powers was scheduled
to meet at 10 o'clock for final ses-
sion regarding the capital ship ratio
Of 5-5-3 proposed by Secretary of
State Hughes. When the meeting
hour arrived, however, it was an
nounced zone Of the foreign powers"
had requested a postponement of the
session twenty-four hours.
No reason was advanced for the post
ponement, but It was understood Japan's
experts were not yet ready to express a
final opinion. 1t was suggested in some
quarters that communication with Toxic
perhaps was responsible for the delay
Some concern is felt oy members of the
japanese colony here over the state of
public opinion, as reflected in dispatches
received here by japanese and by the
American press.
Reports have been received of a num-
ber Of public meetings in Japan in which
the demand was made that Japan's dele
gates here take an unyielding position
for the 10-10-7 capital ship ratio instead
Of the 5-5-3 nlan proposed in the Amer
lean program.
The delay, however, was not looked
upon generally as affecting in a.S .,ay
the ultimate result of the negotiations
The American position is adamant and
belief prevails that in the end Japan will
accept the 60 pei cent ratio to which she
has been assigned.

MAY FORM NEW
AGENCIES TO AID
CORN GROWERS
Farmers Discuss Plan to
Finance Operations With
out Losses.

The possibility Of the formation of
separate agencies other than banks for
the purpose of lending money to farm
ers on their corn in order that they may
sell the corn at a reasonable price was
discussed by members of the corn belt
advisory committee of the War Finance
Corporation which met with Governor
Warren T. McCray, its chairman, today.
The meeting was preliminary to a public
meeting of farmers and bankers this aft
ernoon at which the entire farm finance
problem was discussed.
1t is understood that there is some
hesitancy among banks in taking part
in the proposed plan to finance the farm
ers. The plan called for the banks lend
ing money on corn. the money to be OBJ
tanned by the banks from the War
Finance Corporation. Some of the mem
bers of the committee take the attitude
that the organization Of separate lending
agencies Is practical and that they can be
formed under the laws of the States af-
fected.
While the meeting of the advisory
committee was being conducted in the
Governors office another meeting on the
same subject was being held at the Clay
