POLICY CHANGE
Or. Wiley Demands Vigor-
GUS Administration.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, July IA new
and vigorous administration of the
pure food law to sweep away rulings
and restrictions which he said have
paralyzed the law, was demanded
here today by DR.. Harvey w. Wiley,
veteran campaigner for pure foods.
The bureau Of chemistry, depart
ment of agriculture, which has had
technical charge of administration
of the law, was swept out of exist
ence at midnight last night by act
of Congress, to be supplanted by the
food. drug and insecticide admins
tration.
DR.. Wiley wrote today to w. G..
Campbell, connected withI the adj
ministration ever since the law was
first passed in 1906 and who has
been appointed by Secretary jar
dine to administer the new bureau.
"You we're schooled in the bureau
of chemistry to believe that law
was enacted for the purpose of be-
ing enforced. This was good train
ing in ethics of the finest sort.
"You have seen the pure food laws
frittered away by the appointment
of boards, committees, regulations
and innumerable trappery and in
terpretations.
There should be Immediately
abolished all rulings of the so-called
board of food and drug inspection"

SCHOOL SITE
MAY Be USED
FOR COLISEUM
Board Cannot Grant Option,
but Members Lean
Toward Plan.

The school board has been asked
by J. S. Cruise & Co., realtors, 1913
w. Delaware ST., for an option on
school No. l, Vermont and New Jer-
sey StS., to merge with adjacent
property upon which the company
already has options to be considered
by the coliseum board as a coliseum
site.
The board is not allowed under
State law to grant an option on any
property" Theodore Vonnegut,
school board president, said. 1.-The
time will come soon; however, if it
Is not already here. for us to decide
what to do with school No. /. 1t is
one of the three oldest school struc-
lures in the city and $4,000 would
be required to put it in shape"
Repairs Would Cost $4,000.
IF the coliseum board, when It
begins to function, decides to &C
cept the Cruise offer, the school
board can advertise it for sale. I
believe I would favor the PROPOSE
tion," Vonnegut said.
Vonnegut is also a member of the
coliseum board.
Fred Bates Johnson, minority
board member when factional ques-
tons appear, took favorable stand
on the proposed sale, but said he
hesitated to form snap judgement"
IF it would not seriously dis
commode the schools, would favor
sale of the site to the coliseum
board" johnson said.
|. Administration Plan
Use OF the site as a location for
the school administration building
has been discussed by the board.
The value of the present admins
tration building site, Meridian and
Ohio Sts., is estimated at we'll over
s1,000,000. The building, formerly a
library, is not suited to its present
use. Sale of the present site and
construction of a modern admins
tration building on School No. l
site has been discussed.
at would be much easier to find
school administration building
site, than to find location for the
coliseum. I would not like to see
the school board placed in the po-
sition where it could be said that
it blocked the coliseum movement.
Indianapolis needs a coliseum
and if the board in charge of choos-
ing site decides 1t wants this To-
cation, I favor selling It," johnson
said.

undated vigor today.
With thousands Of words Of ac-
cusations already in court files,
sixty-one closely typewriter pages
consisting of Mrs. Chaplin's answer
to her husbands cross-complaint
for divorce, were before Superior

Mrs. Chaplin was a devoted young
wife, she declared in her answer.
Chaplin, she said, was a cold, cruel
husband.
She did not drink excessively, as
charged by the comedian, Mrs.
Chaplin continued. In fact, she
said, Chaplin drank intoxicants to
a much greater extent than She"

character. He had approached
Hawaiian beach boys and oilers ON
a steamship in which she had made
a trip to Honolulu for such evidence

Mrs. Chaplin loved her husband
with "the romantic devotion a To-

Brotherhood Makes Drastic
Moves to Effect Econo-
mics.

Bu Times SDeciGI
CLEVELAND, July 2. - The
Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
g1neers, closing the fourth week of
It's convention here, thus far has
taken these steps:
Made the first move to provide an
immediate $2,500000 needed to help
Tree its frozen assets, including its
$l5,O00,000 real estate development
at Venice, Fla.
Sanctioned an assessment of $120
on each of its $4,000 members, to
be raised SIS month over two years.
giving a $7,200,000 fund for new
money in the brotherhood's finan-
cial enterprises, now shown with
nominal assets of $88,0OOOOO.
Refused to continue the $4,000 a
year contribution to Labor" a
weekly labor newspaper, published
in Washington, on the ground that
the brotherhood did not feel f1nan-
cially able to continue subscriptions
for members en- masse.
Politics Seen
y Ordered abolished the offices of
PRESIDENT, held by w. B. Premier,
First Vice President L. G.. Griffin,
Second Vice President H. P.
Daughterty, and Secretary G. E.
Lindquist, effecting an annual $780,
600 saving.
These last two moves constitute
the majority of the retrenchment
program and they are both political.
The first is said to be slap at Her.
man E. Wills, assistant grand chief
and legislative representative, who
is the head of Labor"
Abolition of the offices was the
means taken by the group led by
Alvan Ley Johnston, grand chief
engineer, to attain executive leader
ship Of the brotherhood for
Johnston.
A board of three trustees was
created which is to be charged with
the management of the brother
hoods financial activities. These
include eleven banks, with assets of
$48,0O0,000,- and seven investment
companies, listed as worth $40,-
100000.
Trustees Run Union
This board is charged with en-
pioyment of experts to manage the
brotherhood finances, and will re-
port semi annually to the orders
advisory board.
The reason for all this is:
The brotherhood met here four
weeks ago, faced with important
financial problems, the necessity of
providing new money for it's enter
prises, and a bitter political fight
between the Gins" led by Premier,
who succeeded Warren S. Stone, and
the "outs," led by Johnston.
Thomas E. Mitten of Philadelphia
WAS the financial savior offered to
the convention by the Premier
group. The political fight prevented
possibility of acceptance of Mitten's
offer to buy a half control of the
banks.
Now with the Office of president
abolished and Johnston as executive
head of the brotherhood by conven-
ton order, the latter says they will
be able to work out their own
finances and rejuvenate their
finances.

These children of bluebloods-

Miss Vanderbilt, 81, one of the
worlds richest heiresses, reported
engaged at one time or another to
half a dozen titled Europeans, has
just settled the marriage matter
definitely by becoming Mrs. Henry
Gassaway Davis 3rd. Henry is 25,.
Grace didn't consult the wishes
of her parents, Gen. and Mrs. Corn
elius Vanderbilt, about the cere-
mony. She just hurried to the New
York City Hall with Henry for
civil wedding witnessed by a police
man. Father and Mother Wander
bilt were not at all pleased, it's said.
Futile waiting for parental bless

tiers of the rich haven't married

wanted them to then recalls the case
of Ellin Mackay Berlin. She had her
own ideas about whom she wanted
to wed, and they weren't the same
ideas by far as Papa Clarence Mac

Ellin hurdled differences of social
station and religion and became the
bride of Irving Berlin, song writer,
Clarence Mackay never has forgiven
her.
Ellin and Irving and their baby
daughter seem happy, however.
