Replies to Note Concerning
Payment of Costs of Occu-

Formal Reply.
Will TAKE UP AGAIN
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, March 31.-France replied
today to the note from the United
States concerning payment of the
costs of the American military occu-
patton of the Rhineland The French
note repeats the recent declaration Of
the minister OF finance before the SEN
ate that France recognizes the rights
of the United States in the matter.
The only question is to whom the re-
quest for reimbursement should be
made-to the allies or to Germany the
note says
The French foreign office character
ICES the note as a mere acknowledge
ment of the American communication
The American embassy, however. con-
sidered the note full acceptance of
the claims as setforth in the American
note.
WASHINGTON, March 31-State
department officials, after considering
the reply of France to the American
note on payment of costs of American
Rhineland occupation, said today that
further communication on the subject
might be expected
The French reply was said to be Of
preliminary nature, and details of
the position taken by France were not
disclosed, officials explaining they
could not do so until the French gov
ernment had authorized publication of
the note.
This authorization the state depart
ment was seeking today.

RAIL REPAIRS COST
MORE WHEN LET TO
OUTSIDE COMPANIES
tRy Aesociated Preas,

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Con-
tracts with outside locomotive con-
struction companies during 1920 for
the repair of engines cost the New
York Central and Pennsylvania rail-
roads eacn approximately S3,000.o .oco
more than the same work would have
cost in their own shops, the interstate
commerce commission found today af-
ter an investigation.
The Atlantic Coastline railroad, how
ever, which also contracted repair
work out to locomotive construction
shops during 1921, was justified in
so doing, even though it incurred ex-
cessive costs.
Five members of the commission
dissented from findings of the major
lty, censuring the Pennsylvania and
New York Central railroads.

ATTACKS BEvERIDCE'S
RECORD IN ADDRESS
TO COUNTY WOMEN

Attacking former Senator Albert ].
Beveridge's war record, and ridiculing
his practice of speaking at union
church meetings with his campaign
manager in the rear of the congrega-
tlon," Miss Eleanor Barker, of Indian
apolis, head of the Women's New-for-
Senator club, addressed a meeting of
Wayne county women in the K. of P.
temple, Friday afternoon.
st was not until the fourth Liberty
loan campaign that Mr.. Beveridge
spoke in behalf of the bonds" de-
clared Miss Barker. Before that time
he flatly refused to speak in the in
terest of the Liberty bond issues.
"In 1915 he was sent to Europe by
magazine and of the articles he
wrote following interviewing the
Kaiser and his war lords, only four
were published by the magazine.
Senator New was in the Spanish
American war, but Mr.. Beveridge did
not go to the Philippines until 1900,
when it was perfectly safe to do so.
Legislation For Veterans
Service men are going to want and
need legislation during the next few
years. Who do you want to intrust
with the work, an eX-Service man, or
one who wrote books while the service
man fought for $50 month and while
the service man is seeking a bonus,
who is now receiving royalties from
his writings?
Since Senator New has been the
senior senator from Indiana we have
twice sent solid Republican delegations
to congress. Mr.. Beveridge was in the
senate for II years and that never
was done. In 1910 the Republican par
ty gained Mr.. Beveridge's nomination
and he ran on the same record that he
does now. His chorus then, however,
was Mary in the Vine Clad Cottage;'
this year it started with the book of
Job and probably will end with Lamen-
tations.
This is the first statewide women's
primary. Senator New voted for the
suffrage amendment, and so am glad
to hand back to him my first ballot
in primary. Senator New has very
loyalty stood by all bills in which the
women have been interested He vot-
ed for the prohibition amendment; for
the Volstead act; for the Willis-Camp-
bell bill; the maternity bill.
When Secretary Baker asked. for
100000 standing army at cost of
about sSOO,OOO,O0O a year, it was on
the motion of Senator New that the
quota was reduced to 175,000 men and
later to 100000, with a saving of $400,-
100000 a year to the taxpayer This
was direct and telling blow against
i.ny growing spirit of militarism.
Senator New voted for the budget

FUGITIVE RELEASED
FOR few MINUTES,
Then JAILED AGAIN

William Fowler of Kentucky, arrest
ed three days ago, on a warrant is
sued by the state of Kentucky, charg-
ing him with highway robbery, was
released from custody Thursday morn
ing for a period of about three min
utes. The judgment had hardly been
rendered, however, before he was re-
arrested by Chief Eversman, on a
charge of being fugitive from justice,
and returned to the city jail.
Habeas corpus proceedings were in
stituted by Fowler Thursday after
noon Harlan and Brown, attorneys
for the prisoner, maintained that the
warrant was not binding in Indiana as
it was a bench warrant issued by the
state of Kentucky to any peace officer
in that state.
The petitioner also contended that
of Richmond and that the warrant
should have been issued through the
executive officers of the two states.
Contend Action
The state contended that the bench
warrant showed that the state Of Ken
lucky had acted and that if the man
was innocent he should have no fear of
returning for trial.
"This court is only concerned with
the legal question before it in this
case" said Judge w. A. Bond in his
ruling. There is no question but that
the chief of police felt that he was act
ing on at least the semblance of au-
thority in the form of this warrant" d"
That the machinery of criminal law
is not adequate to present-day meth
ods of travel was one statement made
by the court.
Sustains Exceptions
while this court has no desire to
let guilty man escape, have reached
the conclusion that the return to this
proceeding is not adequate and the
court will sustain the exceptions to
the return" he said.
Before Fowler could rise from his
chair he was served with a warrant
signed by Mayor Handley charging
him with being a fugitive from justice.
Attorneys for Fowler examined the
warrant and found 1t binding. He was
returned to the city Jail.
officers from Kentucky are already
in Indianapolis getting extradition pa
pers for Fowler, it was stated.

LONDON, March 31-The Irish Free
State bill became law today when
King George gave his assent to the
measure. The house of lords decided
not to insist on amendments it had
adopted, and an adjustment was
reached between the two houses of
parliament
LONDON. March 31-The Free
State party in Ireland is enormously
strengthened by the agreement for the
pacification of the island signed here
last night, the house of commons was
told today by Winston Spencer
Churchill, secretary for the colonies.
Paying tribute to what he termed
the statesmanlike courage of the Ul-
ster leaders. Mr.. Churchill said the
agreement gave hope for cooperation
between the north and south and
opened a prospect for future such
as Ireland had never before contem-
plated.
Ulster he said, had let helping
hand to the Free State and the cause
of peace in Ireland, the value of which
could not be overestimated
For taking all the measures hui
manly possible to bring cessation CT
religious partisan warfare in Belfast
itself and remove the cause of fric-
tion,' he said. ulster has given the
treaty and the provisional government
far greater chance of success than
otherwise would have been possihln
Cause Strengthened.
There is no doubt whatever that the
conflicts in the slums of Belfast have
armed the foes of the free state with
every sort of argument to rally to
their side forces which otherwise
would have had nothing to do with
their wrecking, destructive campaign.
'As far as the measures now taken
may have an effect in tranquilizing the
situation at Belfast. the cause of those
fighting for the treaty will be enor
mously strengthened
Additionally, there is in this agree
ment hope for cooperation between
the north and the south--a co-opera-
ton only forthcoming on the basis of
the treaty-.a cooperation which would
be finally destroyed were a republic
set up.
This hope of unity and cooperation
opens to Irishmen the prospect of
peaceful, protected future, such as was
never held out before. In these two
ways. Ulster has rendered a supreme
service not only to Ireland, but to tie
British empire"

unexpected burst of speed, the senate
today had cleared its calendar of the
arms conference treaties. Ratifying
by an unanimous roll call the far east
ern treaty and with only one oppos
ing vote the pact for revisio nof the
Chinese tariff yesterday, the senate
exceeded even the expectations of ad-
ministration leaders in the speed with
which it swept to conclusion it's rati
fication program.
Sixty-six senators voted in the unan-
imous approval given the far eastern
treaty, while of the SO voting on the
tariff treaty only one, Senator King,
Democrat, Utah, was recorded against
it.
The comparatively brief debate on
the far eastern treaty developed vir-
tualIy no differences of opinion, al
though Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, expressed a fear that the far
eastern settlements of the arms con-
ference generally might in future
years be interpreted as giving moral
assent" to past acts of aggression in
the Orient.
In several sharp exchanges which
took place over the tariff treaty, Sen
ator Hitchcock, ranking Democrat on
the foreign relations committee, and
Senator King led in criticism of Amer
ican participation in the fixing of the
Chinese customs schedules, while Sen
ator Underwood, the Democratic lead
Ell, defended the pact. Senator Hitch
cock left the chamber and did not
vote on the tariff treaty.
