CITY GARBAGE
PLANT Is RUN
AT BIG LOSS
Shows Few Symptoms
of Paying for
Itself.
DREAM EXPLODES
Board Says Reduced
Prices Explain
Deficit.

The city garbage reduction plant,
which Charles w. Jewett, then
mayor. three years ago said would
pay for itself in five years, was oper-
ated at a loss again in 1921, the an
nuaI report of the board Of sanitary
commissioners, made public today,
shows.
The total operating deficit is set
out as $30,451.51.
Total operating expense was $751;
231.35 and total operating revenues,
representing the sale Of grease and
tankage and the estimated value of
such products delivered but unpaid
for and the products left on hand at
the end Of 1921, were $45.779.84.
1t was the dream Of the Jewett
administration that the products Of
the plant would pay for its operation.
This is the plant that the sanitary
board under the Jewett administration
bought for S17500o, including garbabe
collection equipment. from the Indiana
Reduction Company, an officer Of which
q short time before bad testified In
tax hearing that It should be assessed
for not more than $4,000.
Furthermore, this is the plant which
members Of the board Of sanitary conf
missloners frequently have said in the
past few months must be replaced en-
tirely within the next two or three years.
1t was bought IN 1913.
Low prices for grease and tankage were
the chief causes Of the operating de-

There was no lack Of funds for the
operation Of the plant in 1921. however

ROME, Feb. ga pun Of smoke from
the little chimney of the Sistine Chapel
today told watchers outside the Vatican
that the first ballot of the Cardinals OF
the Sacred College walled up in the
secret conclave to elect a successor to
Pope Benedict XIV. had been unsuccess-
full.
The ballots of the frst gathering, held
at 10 o'clock this morning had been
burnt. together with a wisp Of straw and
the necessary majority had not been
secured by any Cardinal.
A second ballot was taken 1ate this
afternoon, but it, like the first, was fruit
less. For the second time during the
day black smoke rose from the Sistine
Chapel chimney and the waiting crowd
knew there was no chance Of any cleo
ton until Saturday at the earliest.
Within the secret conclave hfty-three
Cardinals of the Sacred College de-
liberated. Outside, representative Of the
press of the world and huge throng
of Romans, awaited the result Of the
papal election.
No communication was permitted be-
tween the Cardinals and the world which
waited.

WILLIE CAREY'S
TERM IN JAIL
MADE DOUBLE
Appeal From City Court
Brings Defendants Record
Into Prominence.

Outside Of that Willie was a good boy.
Willie Carey, notorious visitor in police
and Criminal Court. found out today that
it doesn't always pay to take an appeal
from the findings of the city court
Some time ago Willie was given a
sentence Of thirty 6-"s in the Marion
County Jail and fined 500 and costs In
the city court on a charge of operating
blind tiger. Willie decided the judg-
ment OF the lower court was too severe
and he appealed to the Criminal Court
In Criminal Court Willie decided be
didn't want Judge James A. Collins to
preside at his hearing. He asked for q
change of venue and the case was set for
hearing before Judge Harry o. Chamber
lain In Circuit Court
Judge Chamberlin patiently heard all
Of the testimony, including a record Of
Willle's numerous appearances before
city and criminal court and then de-
clded the city court had made a mistake
In its verdict. He said Willie should
spend sixty days in the Marion County
Jail instead OF thirty and pay a fine Of
500 and costs and that the sentence
should begin at o'clock tomorrow morn
ing
1t seems Willie has been arrested only
fifty-nine times by city and county Of
fcials during the past three years. How
ever, Willie has been fortunate in that
he has been convicted only seventeen
times Claude NJ. Worley, special in
vestigator, did not have time TO make
thorough search of the records but in
the time he did have he found the above
number OF cases, according to evidence
presented to the court.

CREEK BRIDGE
City and County Officials
Push Plans for Erection
of Structure.

Intention Of city and county officials
to push the construction of a bridge over
Fan Creek at Delaware street was indi-
Gated today.
Tha board Of park commissioners has
Instructed its attorney to prepare a reso-
linton TOR the acquisition Of block "
ground on the north side of the creek
between Delaware street and Washing
ton boulevard, which will be necessary
N connecting the north end Of the pro-
posed bridge with Washington boule-
ward. J. J. Griffith, county engineer,
who estimates the bridge will cost ap.
p1oximately S125,O00, said that the county
council may make an appropriation for
the construction at its Feb. 10 meeting
Delaware street is not a continuous
thoroughfare from the creek to the north
city limits. Washington boulevard is.
For this reason city officials plan to
construct diagonal connection between
Delaware street and Washington bOule-
yard The scheme also calls for the
widening of Washington boulevard in
narrow sections. The bridge and the
diagonal street would provide another
through traffic artery from the business
district north.

SAYS OPERATORS
PLAN TO FORCE
ACTION BY u.
William G. Green, Miners
Secretary, Declares Crisis
Precipitated.

Demands Of mine operators for wage
cuts and the refusal OF some of the op-
orators to enter into wage negotiations
with the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea are. in the opinion Of William G..
Green, secretary Of the minters or
ganization, efforts to precipitate Govern
ment action. Mr.. Green today said fur
Their that he believed they are an effort
to destroy the union, but, he added,
they cannot destroy u.s."
Il believe the operators are trying TO
force q crisis" Mr.. Green said. They
are hoping that their activities will re-
taking some such procedure as recon-
mended by Senator Kenyon.
This would mean the differences must
go before a court and there would be no
possibility of collective bargaining across
table. Attorney General Daugherty
says he is prepared and efforts appar-
entity are being made to force him 70
act"
One Of the questions which has re-
suited from the refusal of the operators
In the Ohio district and the Pittsburgh
district to meet with the miners is that
of what win result II they continue to
hold to this policy. 1t was said that the
policy to be pursued In case some Of the
operators agree to meet with the miners
and others refuse must be determined
In the convention opening here, Feb. II.
It was pointed out by Mr.. Green that
OF the agreements which expire March
81 are allowed to expire without new
agreements being made there will be
Immediately a cessation Of work in the
districts where this condition exists I'M
til new agreements can be made. Whether
this will result in a general strike, or
whether the operators in the Individual
districts will be asked to sign agree
ments collectively or individually must
be determined later.
The miners are making much Of the
fact that in the last paragraph of their
statement issued at Chicago, the Indiana
operators say That such adjustment
when made should take into consider
alton the continuance of the competitive
relations which have existed between
the four States comprising what has
been known as the central competitive
field" They take this to indicate that
Indiana operators will not follow the
| lead Of operators in other States in re-
| fusing to meet with the miners.
The question Of what action the Gov
eminent will take should 1t step in is
causing considerable concern. 1t was
pointed out that an attempt may be
made to obtain an injunction or that
