ON BUILDINGS

Pay on Engineering
Contracts.

Pending final adjudication by the
courts Of the legality of the contracts
with Snider & ROtz, formerly, and per
haps still, engineers for the board 0:
school commissioners, that body may find
itself IN a most embarrassing position
when construction OF several school
buildings is begun. II developed at a
meeting or the board last night.
The recommendation that no payments
for engineering services be made to
Snider & Rotz until the courts have de-
cided all the matters at issue, IS con-
tanned in an opinion given The board by
Albert Baker. its attorney.
President Charles L. Barry pointed out
that this put the board in a quandry as
TO what to do in case the board should
decide TO go ahead with the proposed
addition at Emmerich Manual Training

Air school and several others, for which
Snider & ROtz may have the engineering

forced to pay two sets Of engineering

John w. Castor, county recorder, ap-
peared before the council and urged the
immediate passage Of an appropriation Of
$367. 20 with which to defray the ex-
pense of compiling one record book in
his office. This book with about forty
other record books and ledgers, was par
TALLY burned in a fire, in the office Of
the recorder, last year. Mr.. Castor ex-
planned the high costs Of the compilation
with the statement that he had employed
one Of the best experts in the State to do
the research and comparing work. The
whole book Is typewriter. The old rec
ord was in longhand.
One Of the members of the council

than S14, 500.

purchase Of large tract Of ground ad-
iaCent TO the tuberculosis hospital, at
Sunnyside. will be held tomorrow.
1t was proposed that members Of the
county council visit various county in
stitutions, with a view to determining
the practlcality Of consolidating all
Juvenile institutions. On the recon-
mcndation of some Of the politically am
bilious In the council, this step was
put of until after the primaries" The
consolidation was suggested in a report
Of a committee which has been making
a survey Of the county institutions. The
report was signed by Wallace o. Lee,
secretary.
The only positive action taken at the
meeting was the election OF a successor
to Hence Orme, who was serving as mem
ber Of the county council from the Third
district. William Low Rice, the only
candidate who has filed for nomination
in the May primary for councilman from
that district. was appointed Mr.. Orme's
successor. Mr Orme resigned when he
discovered that, although a resident OF
the Second district, he had been ap-
pointed councilman for the Third dis
trict.

WARNS MINERS
AND OPERATORS
ON AGREEMENTS
U. S. Attorney General De-
clares Illegal Contracts
Won't Be Allowed.
'HORSEPLAY WON'T CO.

That In the past coal operators and
miners have entered into illegal agree
ments repetition OF which will not be
permitted by the Government In the
future. are outstanding features Of
a statement Issued by Harry NJ.
Daugherty. attorney general Of the
United States, just before leaving In
dianapolis for Columbus, Ohio, and
Washington, u. c, late yesterday after
noon.
The Government does not disapproye
of n meeting between the operators and
miners, providing nothing Illegal is done
at such a meeting, the attorney general
said also.
While the statement is very explicit as
to action Of the Government in case Of
violations OF law in the future it does
not contain one word as to what attitude
the attorney general intends to take In
regard to past acts Of the operators and
miners which, according to the state
ment itself, were Illegal. This leaves
the matter Of the indictments against
22J operators. miners and companies for
alleged violation of the Sherman anti
trust law which were returned by
Federal grand jury to Jduge Albert b.
Anderson in Federal Court, Feb. y, 1921,
in exactly the same state OF uncertainty
as it was before Attorney General
Daugherty came to Indianapolis Monday
and held two long two hour conferences
with Judge Anderson.
BELIEVED HE WOULD
DISMISS CASES.
At that time it was generally be-
lieved he had come for the purpose of
dismissing the cases, If agreeable to
Judge Anderson. He went away without
making a formal move In this direction,
but in view of the statement issued yes
terday it is believed by many persons
familiar with the case that he has not
yet given up hope of having this done.
In one place the statement says:
"As to the indictments pending in this
court for violations of the law on the
part of these parties heretofore, l have
only this to say, that certain things
charged in the Indictment were violations
of the law, and the Government will not,
by trade or compromise, consent to them
being done again."
In another occurs this sentence:
Whether n meeting lis held or not the
Government will maintain successfully by
any proceeding that may be necessary
that agreements, heretofore reached by
the operators and miners. year after year
for many years, which are a violation OF

BOISE. Idaho, April 12.-Here in
the Intermountain State, at the gate
way to the Northwestern territory,
one enters upon section of coun-
try that last year was hit as hard, If
not harder, than any other part Of
the United States, and it is recover
ing but slowly. The people here
frankly and quickly say that, while
they are convalescing, they are still
weak and in need of attention. What
they mean by this is. that in a finan-
cial sense they will have to be car
ried, and they ask that the support
that has been extended to them be
continued at least another year. They
feel. pretty strongly at present that
they are not yet able to stand alone
and finance themselves.
Aside from borrowings from other
sources, the beet sugar and livestock
interests in the State have had s10,-
651, 900 from the war finance corpora
ton, and when Eugene Meyer, man
aging director of the organization,
was here the other day, the stock
men, sugar raisers and bankers
Joined in urging him to stay with
them until they are out of the woods.
This is an acute angle 10 the general
situation; pressure will come from all
over this Western country for the per-
manent maintenance and continuance Of
some agency that will give access 20
Government funds in time Of need. II
will want careful working out by Con
gress, with the cooperation of those
familiar with the whole background OF
conditions west Of the Mississippi River

est points, economically and financially,

and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, April II Senator
Borah Of Idaho, demanded separation Of
the sheep from the goats in the Re
publican party on the League Of Nations
issue today He said it was no longer a
party issue. The Harding Administra-
tion surrounded by pro-league influences,
he said, was heading the country straight
for the council, and the assembly at
Geneva.
The Senator's speech was provoked by
the answer of Senator Mccormick of Illi-
nois, a fellow "irreconcilable" to James
NJ. Cox's sponsorship OF the League Of
Nations as the issue in the forthcoming
election As chairman Of the Senatorial
Campaign Committee, Senator McCOr
mick, denounced the league and accepted
the Democratic challenge
With this verbal activity came further
important developments bearing on for
eign relations and the issue of Amer
lean participation in European affairs.
They were as follows:
BY a vote of Il TO 25, the Senate con
frmed the nomination of Representative
Burton of Ohio. and Senator Smoot of
Utah, to the World War Debt Commits
sion. thus paving the way for immediate
negotiations looking to the refunding Of
the S11 600. 100000 foreign debt
Administration leaders privately

ing legislation 10 make participation by
the United States on the reparations

as in fact. despite informal suggestions
by President Harding, to that end.
Senator France made public kilograms
to Lloyd George, Barthou, Facta, Wlrth
and Cchicherin, the leaders at the Genoa
conference, urging the adoption Of reso-
luton by the conference Inviting Ameri-
can participation.
When Senator Mccormick denounced
Mr. Cox for his Intention to carry the
people Of America into the League Of
Nations, Whenever opportunity pre-
sented." Mr.. Borah expressed the opinion
that the number of Republican Senators
favOring this course was increasing

QUESTION OF
LAND FORCES
UP AT GENOA
Lloyd George Hopes to
Discuss Point
Informally.
SOVIETS OBJECT
Sponsors Think Big
Obstacles Now Out
of Their Way.

GENOA, April 12.-Despite the fact
that land armamects have been barred
by France in the information p economic
conference, because 1t was not included
in the agenda drawn up by the supreme
council at Cannes, Premier Lloyd George
hopes to have II discussed informally be-
fore the conference breaks up, it was
understood here this afternoon.
The chief opposition 10 the conferences
successful progress has developed from
the Russian delegation. Tchitcherin, as
predicted, Is proving the stumbling
block.
Lloyd George, however, with the cor
dial support of italy was willing to sac
rihce everything for the success Of the
conference has won over the French by
his rm stand against the Russian pro-
posals and he bids fair to bring the con-
ference through with sufficient success
to warrant its existence.
-FOUR OBSTACLES
SEEM OVERCOME.
Allied sponsors of the conference
pointed out that In the first two days,
at Genoa, four imposing obstacles have
been overcome:
1. Alignment Of powers, which was one
of the most critical issues, involving .
choice between allied dictation to the
conference or reestablishment OF
European nations upon equal terms. has
been arranged through British insistence
upon a measure of equality for all. Lloyd
George, If he has not secured complete
equality for Russia and Germany, has at
last secured their representation on the
main councils with full opportunity to
voice their own views
.. The Cannes resolutions have survived
the initial test and the conference now
has an established basis for its delibera-

BRINGS
TARIFF BOOST
FROM SOUTH
Proposes to Build Backfre
Under Southern
Senators.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The South
ern Tariff Association Joined forces here
today with the Republican agricultural
tariff bloc to secure higher rates on
number of agricultural products, than
those provided by the Republican major
ity, in control Of the Senate Finance Com
mittee in the new permanent" tariff
bill.
Following a conference with John Kir-
by, multimillionaire Texas oil and lum-
ber man. president of the association,
Senator Gooding (Rep.) Idaho, chairman
of the ''bloc," declared he was convinced
that go per cent of the people of the
South were in favor of protective tariff
on agricultural products" and that
Southern Democratic Senators did not
represent the tariff sentiment Of their
constituents"
Considerable political significance was
attached to Kirby'S presence in view of
the fact that he is one of the active lead
ers Of the "drive" to foster protective
tariff sentiment in the South, and to
build a "backfire" behind Southern
Democratic Senator's, who already are
lined up against the tariff bill.

FORMER LOCAL
WOMAN SLAIN
IN NEW YORK
Two Sisters of Mrs.
Helen Tracy Live in
Indianapolis.
ROBBERY MOTIVE
Believed to Have
Prompted Brutal
Killing.

Mrs. Louise Yinson, 1114 North Illinois
street, and Mrs. Chester Leingruben, 926
Pryer place, are sisters of Mrs. Helen
Tracy, who was slashed to death by an
unknown assailant in a New York tene-
ment house, 1t became known today. The
nude body of the woman was found, face
downward, in a hallway badly mutilated.
New York police have under arrest
Michael Marx, director, 81, who appeared
to be in a mental haze, and whose hands
and clothing were covered with blood. He
was found a few blocks from the scene Of
the Grim and was arrested before it's
discovery was made, according to dis
patches from New York.
The murder is one Of the most brutal
in New York City in recent crimial hiss
tody, the police officials there say. The
womans clOhting, consisting Of a cheap
checker gingham dress, a black UNDER
skirt and a pair Of black shoes, was
found on the floor, a few feet from the
body.
Robbery was the motive, Mrs. VinsOn
believes. Until four years ago she lived
with her sister in New York. According
to Mrs. Vinson, there is little room for
doubt about the Identification being cor
rect. She said that she had not heard
from her sister for many months and
that she was surprised that she was
living in the Katherine street address
given by press reports.
According to news dispatches the body
was identified by Frank McGowan, %.
who lived in a neighboring building and
who is reported to have said that Miss
Tracy had lived with his grandmother
ten years. This Mrs. Vinson declared was
not the truth saying that her sister had
never lived with the young mans grand
parent although they had visited each
other. Mrs. Vinson was the victim of an
accident few days ago and appeared
very much distressed by the news re-
ceived Of her sisters death.
The family lived originally in Madison,
Ind, where the father, James Leathe-
bury, is now living. According to Mrs.
Vinson, Mrs. Tracy has not been in
indianapolis since the death of their
mother two years ago.
Mrs. Tracy was the wife of a New
York surgeon. Mrs. Vinson declared, and
lived with him sixteen years, having
separated from him about four years
age. Two years ago she made a trip to
Havana, seeking TO effect reconciliation
with her husband, which was not sue
ccssful.
After separation from her husband
Mrs. Tracy conducted a millinery shop
in New York City and according to Mrs.
Vinson was In comfortable circumstances.
she said she knew her sister has
possessed as many as six diamond rings
and that she also owned seven or eight
liberty bonds beside other property con-
cerning which she did not know. The
fact that Mrs. Tracy had this personal
property, leads Mrs. Vinson to believe
that the crime was committed for the
purpose of robbery. The press reports
from New York did not indicate that
robbery was the motive for the crime.
Mrs. Vinson said her sister was .
woRHn Of high moral character.
