Reorganization Plans
Upset Cabinet Harmony

WASHINGTON. March 7.-President
Harding's plans for a sweeping reorga-
nization Of Governmental departments in
Washington have been delayed indeh
nitely, if not smashed entirely, by the
strenuous opposition that has cropped
In and out Of the Cabinet
Formed nearly year ago under White
House direction, the Brown reOrganiza-
tion committee made a wide survey of
existing conditions, and recommended
sweeping hcanges which were in the
main approved by the President.
Laid before the Cabinet, these changes
provoked such opposition as to not only
endanger the success of the plan as a
whole. but they also have shattered Cabi-
net harmony today 10 a considerable
extent. Some Cabinet officers wanted to
get rid of bureaus they had and ac-
quire others. some wanted to retain their
present organizations intact, while some
objected te being given additional du-
ties.
In addition to Cabinet opposition, the
proposed changes met with powerful op-
position from outside sources.

SITUATION EASES

Relations between City Civil Engi-
neer John L. Elliott and William H.
Freeman and DR.. NJ. ]. Spencer, mem
bers of the board Of public works
were less strained today than they
have been for the past two weeks.
A bid for peace by Mr.. Freeman,
which Mr.. Elliott came halfway to
meet was the means of easing the
situation.
The officials had disagreed over the
order of the two works board members
instructing the engineer not to specify
concrete for use in indianapolis street
the board Monday afternoon they were
calling each other "John," Bill" and
Doc"
1t was during a discussion OF the per-
manent impro ement Of Usage street that
the atmosphere, which has been super
charged with lightning, ready to be un.
chained at any moment since Feb. 81,
began to clear. The board several days
ago rejected all bids on Osage street
because they all were of one material
concrete. This was after the board had
announced 1t would build no more con-
crete pavements unless specifically re.
quested to do so by property owners
Property owners rarely specify what
kind of material they wish.
Practically every one in touch with
board of works affairs assumed asphalt
would be the material used almost ex-
clusively. William II. Armitage, who Is
trying to make Mr.. Freeman, Republican
county chairman, is the agent for the
Barber Asphalt Company. The Barber
Asphalt Company sells Trinidad asphalt.
Mr.. Freeman was quoted as believing"
Trinidad was a very excellent material"
The Usage bids were rejected several
days ago This added to the engineers s
ire because Usage street is little more
than an alley, being fifteen feet wide,
and he thought some cheaper material
than asphalt should be used. He In
formed the board several days ago that
he thought asphalt pavement ought TO
cost from S220 to So instead OF the S4.10

Miners officials In the conference were
confronted with these facts:
/. Refusal Of powerful groups OF op-

holding out against negotiations on a
national basis.
?. Efforts Of Illinois operators to effec;
new wage agreement, applicable to
Illinois alone.
3 Possibility that Frank harrington.

With flames cracking about them two

time to save their lives.
The rescue was made by Lon Heart,

The persons rescued are Hearts brother,

CROWDS TAKE
POSSESSION AT
BIG AUTO SHOW
Formal Opening Demonstrates
Keen Interest in Spite
of Rain.

The twenty fourth semi annual auto
mobile show continued at the Playground
pavilion in blaze of glory today, fol-
lowing the opening last night. There
was no official opening, for the crowds
began coming about O'Clock and soon
filled the spacious exhibit hall, and this
despite the fact that the weather was
such that those who had to use an open
car or one Of Mr.. Todd's had TO brave
the elements.
As an automobile show the twenty
fourth surpasses them all They get bet
ter each year, It appears, but 1t would
be hard to see what possible improve
ments the future has in store for the
automobile, because the present show Of
class does not look as If there were any
places for improvements to be made.
MAYOR SHANK
MAKES PREDICTION.
However. as Mayor Samuel Lewis
Shank said in delivering his official ad-
dress:
"Twent- years from now they will be
making tL-m SO that they will run with
out g9soline or oil"
On seeking the advice Of several ex-
perts whose classy skies and fours shone
resplendsntly In the glitterlng rcys Of the
brilliant pavilion lights, 1t was discovered
that the best bet was to buy the new bus
now and not wait for the millennium.
An added touch of prophecy or rather
hopefulness was expressed in the mayors
address when he said:
81 hope that everybody in indianapolis
can make enough money-honestly you
Understandable buy an automobile my
four years as mayor even If it is only
1lvver"
No one said anything, OF course, be-
cause this roseate dream was particularly
gratifying to both automobile men and
those present who hoped to buy either
a high class car or n flivver, but some
concern was felt as to how his honor
would devise a traffic ordinance which

special meeting OF the board VIII
Le heard Thursday to consider com plants
registered against Jessie J. Smith, prin-
cipal OF School No. S6, Capitol avenue
and Twenty Eighth street, and from ad.
vance indications the meeting promises to
be a hot one. About a dozen addi-
tional charges were filed against Miss
Smith by residents in the neighborhOod
Of the school today, and a delegation of
her supporters was on hand to uphold
her. However the board refused to go
into the matter before Thursday.
TRANSFER PETITION
IS SIGNED BY $50.
At the last regular meeting Of the
board a petition asking the transfer Of
Miss Smith from the school, signed by
40 residents of the neighborhood, was
presented to the board and was referred
TO the instruction committee and E. u
Graf, superintendent Of schools.
The petition charged Miss Smith was
behind the times, was unprOgressisve. ad~
ministered school affairs in a dictatorial
manner, and even interfered with the
conduct Of the Parent Teacher Associa-
ton.
Following the meeting Miss Smith en-
tered an emphatic denial Of all charges
against her.
r. C. Lowell, director of vocation train
ing, came in for considerable criticism at
the hands of the board today following
his request, presented through Superin-
tendent Graft for an additional S., 1000
with which to conduct the part time
schools. The letter stated half Of the
school already have closed and it wil1
be necessary to close the other April 25
If the money Is not appropriated for their
support.
Recently 5000 was appropriated by the
board TO carry on the WORK and 1t was
thought at ihe time this would be suf1-
cient to continue the classes until the end
OF the year.
Some Of the members criticized Mr..
Lowell for not keeping expenses down,
and President Charles L. Barry seemed
particularly hurt to think the matter had
found it's way into the newspapers.
Il didn't know he would go TO tbs
press with IT," President Barry said.
GREAT DEMAND TO
CONTINUE CLASSES.
There has been a great demand for the
continuance of these part-time schools
and board members have been flooded
with petitions and telephone calls asking
their continuance.
Adolph Emhardt, a board member, said
he believed this agitation was coming
from some outside source.
A communication was received from
Milo H. Stuart, principal Of Arsenal
Technical high school, asking that the
board reconsider its action to have all
high school commencements at Tomlin-
son Hall. and to hire the Cadle taber-
nacle for the Tech" commencement
Saturday, June 10. If this is done he
said 1t viii be possible for the COM
mencement TO be held at one time In
stead of on two nights as will be the
case If Tomlinson Hall is used. He said
the tabernacle can be obtained for $500
and that the pupils are willing to make
up the difference IN the cost of the two
places In order to make use Of the taber-
nacle.
The matter was referred to the In
struction committee, OF which DR.. Marie
Haslep is chairman. Dr. Haslep exc
pressed herself as opposed to the change,
for she said the commencements of the
three high schools should be held at the
same place.

FATE or MORE
THAN 4-POWER
PACTAT STAKE
Pacific Treaty Held
Keystone of Whole
Arch.
JAP ISSUE ARISES
Special 20 Indiana psiiy Tirnrs
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
BY FREDERICK w. VILE.

WASHINGTON, March 7.-Ad-
minisuation leaders say the time has
come to remind the country that far
more than the fate Of the four-power
treaty-now undergoing debate In
the Senate-is at stake there.
The Pacific pact virtually is the
keystone of the whole arch of treaties
adopted at the Washington confer
ence. It was discussed, formulated
and concluded first Of all on that &C
count. It has been proposed for rat
iflcation before any Of the other con-
ference agreements for the same rea-
son. If the four-power treaty fails in
the Senate, there is danger the entire
structure reared by the conference
may crash to the ground.
That statement is made on the highesl
authority. 1t is not alarmist. Senator
Lodge has assured Presiden; Harding
that, in his Judgment, the treaties are
safe" though the four-powe pact may
be towed into harbor only by the slim
NEST margin of securit. What the
friends Of the treaties thu ought to
be more keenly realized is lat they are
80 essentially interlocking that if the
Pacific pact collapses the est are seri-
ously imperiled.
DEFEAT WOULD REVIv c
ANGLO-JAP ALLIANCE
The most obvious an disquieting re-
suit OF the four -powe; treaty's defeat
would be the maintenance Of the Anglo
japanese alliance. The treaty scraps that
alliance. If the treaty itself is scrapped,
the alliance continues. With It's continu.
ance would remain the menace of men
aces IN the Far East which the United
States was bent upon banishing when
it called the Washington conference The
effect OF the automatic retention Of tho
Anglo-JRpanese alliance on the naval
limitation treaty can hardly be doubted
