started walking the beach while
they waited for expected aid to

cause the county council had limited
them to $4,000
Hoffman said it would have taken
"a Philadelphia lawyer" to figure

Commissioners have said they will
ask the county council, which meets

The building has not been accepted
yet, although the contractor has

INDIANA VICTORY
MAKES KU-KLUX
NATIONAL ISSUE
Khan Greatest Stumbling
Block Ahead of Coolidge,
Political Writers Say.
BY c. A. RANDALL
Times staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. May I'm.
d,ana's contest over the Governor
sh p has become a national problem
Washington political writers in
>ome cases even go so far as to
regard the ascendency Of the Ku-
Nlux Khan IN the Republican party
- the greatest stumbling block
President Coolidge has yet encoun-
tered
Correspondent Quoted
Charles Nicholson. special CORE
spondent Of the New York World,
says today: Indiana having gone
Ku-KluX so far as the Republican
nomination for Governor is con-
cerned. produces a new complication
for President Coolidge. Under ordi-
nary conditions the Presidential
nominee would not necessarily be
affected by a local turnover. but the
exodus of negroes from the South
has given them an enormous vote in
Indiana, as we'll as in Ohio and Hi
nois
In the Hoosier State they now hold
the balance of power and Republican
leaders are terrifically alarmed at
the domination Of the Khan. Should
the President campaign with Jack
son, the fears Of the negroes may
cost him the State. In some circles
it is believed the Situation viii com
pelI a declaration by the President
on the Khan issue, something that
he. like most politicians, has avoided
up to this time.
Chance for Democrats
Whether the Democrats adopt a
national anti KIan plank or not in
Indiana. that party is forced by the
logic of the situation to make dom
nation of the invisible empire their
principal issue. If the President
goes ahead without declaring his po-
sition, with the campaign in Jack
sons hands he will be playing into
the hands Of the Democrats not only
with regard to negro voters, but in
dependent voters opposed to the

COUNTY IS HELD
RESPONSIBLE FOR
FAULTY BUILDING
Contractor Says Specifica-
tons Were Followed
at Poor Farm.

Criticism of the new mems build
ing at the Marion County Poor
Farm was directed at county COM
nissioners by Windsor J. Weaver,
of George A. Weaver & Son. who
built it.
In a report to Circuit Court and
the commissioners, the county board
Of charities said the building looks
more like a COW barn than a place
for human habitation," and called
attention to the fact that the aged
inmates would be required to live on
cold cement floors, surrounded by
bare brick walls, and that no screens
or shades were included in the
specifications.
The reason that there are no
screens, wooden floors or walks and
that the walls were not plastered or
painted is the commissioners did not
order them" said Weaver. I'VE, as
contractors, had nothing to do with
the plans. We merely put up the
building according to specifications.
Repairs Under Way
"Of course, there were minor de-
fects in the construction, as pointed
out by the commissioners and The
Times, but we have agreed to makeI
all that good. and have six to eight
men at work now doing so. Any
body can find flaws in the work an
other does"
The flaws referred to are several
cracks in the new cement floors and
walls. failure of outside doors to
meet properly, and a place where a
brick was pulled out of the new
wall where the mortar had crumbled.
Weaver said:
Mr. Hoffman (Albert Hoffman,,
one of the commissioners who let
the contract. after the charities
board had complained about the
windows having iron strips instead
of wood for frames and the fact that
the type of windows prevented
screening. asked me why 1 hadn't
told him wooden windows were best.
I replied that the contractor had
nothing to do with the planning, and
probably would have been told to
mind his own business if sugges-
tons had been offered.

FEDERALFARM
BANK RATE IS
CUT ON LOANS
intermediate Credit Bank
Rate Reduced From 5H to
5 Per Cent, Announced

Washington, July 16.-The Federal
Farm Loan Board today announced
a reduction from 1-2 to per cent
in the rate of interest charged on
direct loans to all cooperative mar
keting associations.
Board members declared the reduc-
tion would aid materially in the fl
nancing of this years crop move
ment. The intermediate credit banks,
which made the loans to the CO.
operative marketing association last
year, loaned more than $58,OOO,OO0
and this was distributed among ap-
proximately 100000 farmers.
The 1-2 per cent rate has been
in effect since the credit banks were
organized under the agricultural
credit law passed early in 1928. Ability
of the board to lower the rate was
declared by Commissioner Cooper to
mean that the system was established
permanently as an institution for
financing the farmers. 1t would
mean, he said, considerable saving
to the takers of loans from credit
banks and at the same time permit
the banks to operate at q small
profit.

~ CROSSINGS
ELIMINATED

Forty-two railroad crossings on
state roads have been eliminated DUR
ing the past year, either by under
passes, realignment or relocation. ac-
cording to A. D. McKinnon, project
engineer Of the States Highway Conn
mission.
The forty-two crossings eliminated
are for the most part on the heavily
travelled state trunklines, said Mr..
McKinnon. and are but single step
in the carrying out of the policy Of
the highway department to eliminate
all railroad crossings on state roads.
The crossings that have been re-
moved this year are those which
were considered the most dangerous
in the state, Mr.. McKinnon said. The
policy Of the highway department.
calls for the further elimination Of
railroad crossings during the coming
years.
Safety for motor vehicle drivers
in the state has been materially in
creased, highway authorities aglee,
through the elimination Of these
forty-two most dangerous crosslngs.

PREMIER SAYS
ITS ADOPTION

lnter-Allied Conference Opens
With British Premier
Making Address
AMERICANS PRESENT
For Cooperation, But Have
Not Same Status as Dele
gates, Says Kellogg

London, July 16 (By the A. P.)
The inter-allied conference for
the purpose of making effective
the Dawes plan for German repar-
ations assembled at II o'clock to-
day at the foreign office. Amer
lean ambassador Kellogg and Col.
James A. Logan Jr., the American
observer with the reparations COM
mission, were present with four
advisers and number of secre-
taries.
Formally welcoming the dele
gates to the conference, Prime Min
ister Macdonald made especial ref
erence to the presence of the AM
orleans. He noted they were not
present as full delegates but he
took their presence as indicating
the good will and cooperation Of
the United States in the effort to
make the Dawes plan effective.
Americans There
Ambassador Kellogg, replying,
said the American government and
people believed the adoption of the
Dawes report would be the first
great step toward stabilization Of
Europe.
The American delegates, he said,
were not attending the conference
with the same powers as the others
az the conference table as the
United States was not a party 't0
the treaty of Versailles. However.
the ambassador, added the Amer
leans were present in the same
spirit of cooperation.
Opening the conference Premier
Macdonald surveyed the repara~
tiCns problem urging the impor-
tance Of putting the Dawes report
into effect as a whole, without
change Of details.
It would be the business of
the conference, Mr.. Macdonald
said, to create conditions for
the working Of the Dawes re-
port, the first being the fiscal
and economic unity of Germany
and the second, adequate secur-
ity for prospective investors in
the loan for Germany.
Merit in Work
One great merit Of the experts
work, continued the Premier, was
the business-like methods they
adopted in preparing it, and he
hoped the present conference would
follow their example. He pointed
out that the Dawes report was not
a final solution Of the reparations
problem, but that it was necessary
to get this scheme in operation be-
fore other problems could be solved.
Therefore, it was his desire, that
the conference deal solely with the
Dawes report.
Premier Herriot of France, pro-
posed Premier Macdonald as chair
man of the conference, after which
the business Of organization was
begun. Sir. Maurice Hankney was
named secretary-general and three
committees were appointed to
work cut the agenda along the
lines OF the Herriot-MacDonald
communique issued from Paris
July 8. This business accomplish
ed, the conference adjourned until
tomorrow.

PREPARATIONS
BODY TAKES UP
GERMAN PLANS
Considers Means of Restoring
Economic Life After Dawes
Plan Is Accepted
LAYS DOWN A BASIS
Five Propositions Are Ap'
proved For Putting Into
Operation Dawes Plan

Paris, July 16.-The reparations
commission devoted all Of yester-
day and good part Of the night
to. the request made in the joint
Observation-Disclosures note of last
week that it submit to the London
inter-allied conference suggestions
with view of establishing plar
whereby the economic and fisca
unity of Germany should be re.
established as soon as the commis.
sion had decided that the Dawes
report was in force.
The reparation body began by
dividing the problem into two
parts, discussing first the posi-
bility Of a plan providing for the
transition from the present econ
omic organization in the occupied
region to the organization provided
in the Dawes report. The commits
sion, however, came to no agree
ment, deciding instead to ask the
allied governments to supply it
with supplementary explanations.
1t also passed the next part of the
problem, namely, to define when
the Dawes plan might be consider
ed to be put into execution.
The reparation commission laid
down what should, in it's opinion,
constitute the putting into oper-
alton Of the Dawes plan." These
conditions, five of them, were
adopted unanimously.
They are: first, voting by the
Reichstag in a form approved by
the reparations commission of laws
necessary to the working of the
plans and PRONUNCIATION of these
laws.
Second, installation with a view
to their normal working of all the
executive and controlling bodies
provided in the plan.
Third, definite constitution, in
conformity with the provisions of
the respective laws Of the German
banks and of the German railway
companies.
Fourth, deposit with the trustee
Of certificates representing railway
bonds and such similar certificates
for industrial debentures, as may
result from the report of the or
ganization committee.
Fifth, conclusion of contracts as
suring the subscription CT loan
of 100000 gold marks as soon
as the plan has been brought into
operation and all the conditions
contained in the experts report
have been fulfilled.
