ITO Miss Maurice J. O'Connell.

ITO Miss Maurice J. O'Connell,
l. 1927 E. Washington St., go
the laurels and $50 prize in the
Traffic Problem Contest conduct
ed by the Indianapolis Times.
Miss O'Connell's s "Ten Com,
mandments of Safety" were
unanimously chosen as the most
practical and simple set of sug-
gestions for regulation of In
dianapolis traffic by Captain
Michael j. Glenn of the police
traffic squad, Harry K. Stormont,
safety director of the Hoosier
Motor Club, and the Traffic Edi-
tor Of the Times.
So excellent were many Of the sug.
gestions offered by entrants that Cap
tain Glenn and his trained staff of
experts devoted three days TO con-
Sderlng the suggestions.
Race Becomes Close
The catpain's recommendations sim.
mered down to three sets of sugges.
tions, those furnished by Miss O'Con-
nell. Jack D. Taylor, 315 w. New
York St, and ID. V. Moore, p. o. Box
1892, city. When the three judges
met Friday afternoon earnest con-
sideration was given each and Miss
OConnell was proclaimed winner.
A vast number OF excellent sug-
gestlons for the alienation OF traf-
flc congestion was offered but
many We're found to involve
| changes such as superstructures
for auto traffic and subways for
street car traffic that would
necessitate the expenditure Of
huge sums of money! thing the
city cannot financially afford to
do at the present time.
Inasmuch as the three judges
believed the intention of the con
test had been to discover the best
means OF handling traffic under
present conditions. Miss OCOn-
nells suggestions were regarded
as the most practical, easiest for
motorist and pedestrian alike to
remember and the simplest from
all standpoints.
The winners eighth commandment
does not pertain to traffic, but does
relate 20 a kindred subject-safety OF
4 human life.
Studied by Engineers
AS a word TO those whose contribu
tions contained suggestions as to the
rerouting OF street cars and one-way
traffic on certain streets, Captain
Glenn makes the statement that traffic
engineers and experts have long
studied these matters from an analy
teal standpoint and have discovered
the present routings of cars IS the
best that the volume surface traffic In
the city will permit. Other contestants
had valuable suggestions. but some
were considered too technical to be OF
practical advantage.

not failing to call attention to the
fact that such public interest in a
matter so grave when accidents and
fatalities are mounting daily would fail
to be of inestImable value in arousing

Greece Is Prepared

Demands Of MussOlini

ATHENS, Aug. 3O.-At a meeting
OF the Greek ministers today It was
decided to agree to only part of the
demands made by Premier Mus
solinir of Italy. in the italian
ultimatum. Greece. It was under
stood, would ask modification Of
the other demands.
President Gonatas, Of the govern
'ment council, who was absent from
Athens, began study OF the Italian
note Immediately after his return.
He said he felt the greatest indigna-
ton over the murders, and did not
believe they had been committed by
Greeks President Gonatas said he
believed that the assassins were
Albanians who were disgruntled
over decisions Of the boundary COM
mission.
Before the cabinet met, it was re-
ported in semi-official circles that
some of Italy's demands were inn
possible Of acceptance and that
Mussolini would be asked to modify
them.
The Athens government. It was
said. was willing to express sorrow
over the assassinatiOns and pay In

LONDON. Aug. sO.-"We cannot
witness without protest this high
handed diplomacy which painfully
reminds us of the action taken by
Austria after the murder at Sarajevo
in 1914" said the Star today, COM
menting upon the Italian ultimatum
to Greece.
"It is an oninous precedent. We
appeal to the sober second thought
of the Italian people. If they fail
to check Mussolini in his headlong
career OF militarisnn 1t will be mp to
the League Of Nations to intervene"
There are indications that the
British will support the Greek sug.
gestion of referring. the Graeco::
Italian dispute to the League OF
Nations. British newspapers were
shocked over the sternness Of the
Italian note, and the severity Of its
demands.
The foreign office regards the sit
uation on the Mediterranean as most
serious and will use its utmost In
fluence to prevent an outbreak Of
hostilities. It is reported that an
attempt will be made to induce
Mussolini to extend the time limit
In the ultimatum, meanwhile, modi-
flying some Of the demands.
The allied council of ambassadors
will meet in Paris, probably this
afternoon, to demand a Greek in
Quiry into the assassination Of
Italian citizens near Janina. It will
be proposed that the investigation
be Of a sweeping nature so as to
satisfy Italy. entirely. At the same
time Rome will be warned against
steps which might lead to war.
The Daily News commented:
"Mussolini's headIong, headstrong
action is a deplorable misuse of his
powers"

some significance is now engaged in
survey Of the whole anthracite
rate structure, and the belief pre-
walls in many quarters that reduc-
lions in rates are coming anyway.
There was a disposition In some
quarters to minimize the effect OF an
anthracite tie-up should it come.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon,
In discussing the situation today,
pointed out that an anthracite tie-up
would not materially affect the coun-
try from an industrial standpoint, as
very little hard coal Is used for
manufacturing purposes. The short
age would be felt principally by the
consumers, who are now in better
shape to Withstand a hard coal
scarcity because Of the numerous
substitutes that have come into use
since the great strike Of last year.
No Cause for Optimism.
In view of the prediction from
Harrisburg that one side. perhaps
both, will certainly reject the Gov
ernor's recommendations, the corr
fidence that was so manifest in Of
fetal quarters here this morning
was considered remarkable. The
basis for this optimism was not APP
parent, as all Federal officials dis
claimed having any inside" infor-
nation from the contestants.
President Coolidge's interest in
the situation was exemplified today
when he spent the first hour at his
desk going over the details of the
Pinchot peace plan. No comment
was forthcoming, however, and the
impression was obtained at the
White House that the new President
will continue his policy of Hands
