STUDIES NEUTRAL PLAN
Washington Officials Inclined to Fa'
vor Shanghai as Zone.

BB United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-With
IL 900 American lives menaced by
the Chinese civil war and anti-for-
eign riots, officials here today were
studying reported Chinese sugges-
tons for creating a neutral zone at
Shanghai, the foreign center.
Twenty-Five American war vessels
concentrating on Shanghai have
been ordered to protest the 5000
Americans there. Great Britain is
sending vessels and soldiers TO pro-
tect her nationals.
But the Washington Administca-
ton is of the opinion that use of
foreign arms, even when absolutely
necessary, may further comphcate
the already difficult problem Of flu
ture foreign treaty and trade rela-
lions in China.
Therefore, this Government would
welcome an agreement between the
contesting Chinese forces to place
Shanghai, the chief foreign and
trading center, entirely outside the
fighting zone. Such action, it is
believed, might obviate the neces-
sity Of landing foreign troops or
evacuating foreigners.

CROSSING STOPS
FOR CAR TO Be
FOUGHT BY CLUB
ImpraCticabiIity if Measure
Is Great, Says Official of
MotoriSt Body.

Any legislation requiring motor
lists to stop before railroad and in
terurban crossings will be opposed
by the Hoosier Motor Club, accord
ing TO Todd Stops, secretary-man-
ager of the club. "At every session
OF the Legislature" says Stops,
many bills have been presented in
the interest of saving human lives
and bills requiring motorists to stop
before rail crossings have always
been among these humanitarian eff.
forts.
The Hoosier Motor Club is inter.
ested in saving human lives, but
stopping at railroad crossing is not
included in their list of things re-
quired for safety. The motorist will
disregard what he honestly believes
Il worthless.
There should be no attempt by
any General Assembly to legislate
brains for the motorist.
Passenger automobiles in Indiana
carry more people than all the trains
and interurbans, yet some would
seek to make the masses stop be-
fore rails carrying less than half
the passenges carried by automobile
traffic.
I'm States where rail crossing stop
laws are in force it is found that
they are generally disobeyed. It
gives the grabbing justice Of
the peace an. opportunity to set
traps for the unwary motorist from
out of the State.
Another feature of a stop law
before rails is that it places an ex-
ira burden on the motorist who has
rail.crossing accident. He must
prove that he did stop before the
rail crossing or he may not be able
to collect damages.
stopping before rails Is a phys
zeal impossibility on some Of the
congested highways leading out of
Indianapolis. Along such highways
travel would mean running a cars
length at a time, stopping and start
ing along the entire distance. Any
legislation which is aimed at the
motorist should first be given con-
sideration as to its physical posi-
bility Of being carried out over every
highway in the State.

Odd Phenomena.

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-Two mountains
rave been reported as moving-one
in England, the other in Switzerland.
The first is Doumen Fawr, the NOV
ing mountain of Monmouthshire and
the other is Mt. Arbino, near Bellin.
IONA.
The latest shift at Doumen Fawr
moved the bed of river and made
thirty families homeless. The city
OF Bellinzona, the capital of the
Swiss canton of Ticino, is reported
to be in danger of being wiped off
the map by Mt. Arbine. Sometimes
the mountain moves as much as
three feet in forty-eight hours.
Scientists have studied these
phenomena. Some say that the
moving mountain becomes topheavy
because of rains and the trickling OF
water. The movement is usually
slow. but deadly.

BILL DECE|V|NG,
SAYS STOOPS
Claims Garard Measure viii
Decrease Road Fund.

Z 1.-THE Garard bill, If passed, would
cost the motorists Of Indiana more
than $3,OoO,OO a year in, taxes and
give the State highway commission
$1,000 900 for expenditure on roads, !"
said Todd Stops. secretary. manager
of the Hoosier Motor Club.
Figures in the office of the Hoo
sier Motor Club show that the State
highway commission received in 1926
the sum Of $40, ,305.24 from auto.
mobile license fees and from the
gasoline tax. Under the Garard bill.
which provides for an increase in
the gas tax from cents to 5 cents
and a reduction in license fees. the
State highway commission could not
receive more than $9,600,000.
1.-THE Garard bill is deceiving. in a
way. 1t gives the State highway
commission cents of the proposed
scent gasoline tax, which will
amount to about $4,000, 900 more to
the State highway commission from
tax on gasoline, but in reducing the
license fees the State highway com
mission loses a little over $4,000, 900
so that the net to the State high.
way commission will be more than
million dollars less than it for.
merly received.
"Under the Garard bill the real
gain from increased taxation of the
motorist is to the counties. cities
and towns, for they will receive 2
cents of the proposed scent gasoline
tax instead Of / cent under the pres
ent law"

Seeks $4,000 for This
Year in Addition to
$4,000.
PAYS PROBE ATTORNEYS
Stenographer Gets $1,665
Out of Special Sum.

Request of Governor Jackson for
an extra $4,000 to add to the con-
tingent fund for the present fiscal
year is drawing considerable adverse
comment in the House of Repre-
sentatives. Jackson received $50, 900,
in the contingent fund in October
and at present there is a balance of
$37,143.92.
The $4,000 request is made so
the fund will not run short before
the year closes and, according to
the request, is TO be used between
April 1 and Sept. 80.
Investigation Of expenditures re.
veals that $11,OO% was expended
from the contingent fund for attor.
ney fees in the recent Marion
County grand jury investigation in.
to political corruption. The grand
jury failed to return indictments
after hearing witnesses for eleven
weeks. Attorneys Fred Cause and
Ralph Kane received $500 each.
mdlly Large IIeI1S
Other sizeable items since the DC
tober appropriation include the
$4,000 survey of higher education
in Indiana, made by Kentucky uni
versity and others.
DR.. William Il. King, secretary of
the health department, received
10000 in amounts of 1000 and
$4,000 for the "hydrophobia fund. ="
Reporting the Marion County
grand jury cost the State $1,665.S0
in feet to N. E. Metcalf for steno.
graphic services.
A recent expenditure was $780,
045.50 for land at the Northern In
sane Hospital.
Telephone bills included calls by
Jackson and his secretary, Pliny
Wolford, to Vincennes, home of
Thomas Adams, whose charges of
scandal in Indiana political life,
based on information from d. c.
Stephenson. 1ffe-term prisoner at
Michigan City Penitentiary and for.
mer Klan leader and political die
tator, led to the grand jury investi-
cation. They also include several
calls to Warden Walter II. DAILY Of
the prison, who figured prominently
during the scandal investigation.
The calls were made when Daily was
refusing admittance to State Sena-
tors and newspapers,
A fee of $3.50 went to Attorney
Homer Elliott for special prosecu-
ton of Ralph Lee, who recently es-
capped from the Franklin, Ind, jail
and is now in a Florida hospital. 1t

Hesitate on Appropriation
A SIS salary addition goes month
ly to Miss May Nichol, pardon
board employee, according to the
vouchers.
w. r. Becker, Philadelphia, re-.
ceived STAG for coming to testify
before the grand jury.
These items and hundreds Of
others cause considerable doubt
among many legislators as to the
feasibility Of giving the Governor an
$4,000 annual appropriation for the
contingent fund. The present bud
get asks for 100000 for the two
years. The $4,000 for anticipated
deficit is additional.
