Speaking to Community Fund
workers at today's luncheon Wal
ter G. Marmon, campaign chair
man. sounded warning against an
overContident attitude on The part of
the public, and declared that far
more serious consideration should Ue
given to the Community Fund "aS
an accurate measure of civic vision"
1T is rather difficult sometimes"
said Marmon, ito account for the
lack Of imagination which charac-
terizes many otherwise admirable
people. This lack accounts for any
thing less than intense concern for
full success of the present Com
munity Fund campaign"
Marmon emphasized the neces-
sity for every man and woman able
to share with less fortunate neigh
bors joining the Community Fund.
Responsibility, he said, rests alike
upon all citizens, and no one should
be content until he has done his
full share toward maintaining the
citys thirty-seven social service
agencies supported by the fund.
In many cases, those persons
inclined to adopt nonchalant at
titude toward success of the fund

NEW YORK, Nov. Alt wasn't
so many years ago that two small
boys played together in Marietta,
o., shared their playthings and Wed
in games of skill
One of them broke all his family
ties, followed the uncertain trail of
a derelict, and died last Saturday
in a cheap hotel room. He was list
ed as Bowery bum. His name was
Bradt Hubert.
The other boy followed the high
road to fame and fortune and be-
came Vice-President of the United
States. His name is Charles Dawes.
Today the body of the Bowery
bum will be buried and the funeral
bills will be forwarded to the Vice
President for payment-forwarded
at Dawes own request.
Always Neat in Garb
For many years Hubert had been
familiar figure in the dives and
cheap speakeasies of New York's
lower east side. He had attracted
attention by the neatnesS of his
clothes, which he maintained al
ways despite the fact he habitually
was broke"
1t was about ten years ago that
Hubert, once a promising engineer,
came to the Bowery to be swallowed
up and lost from his family. He
took cheap room on Park Row.
Sometimes, in the winter he worked
in construction camps. The warm
weather often found him doing odd
jobs as waiter at Coney Island.
Two years ago he fell i'll. Friends
urged him to write home. He re-
fused, but one day he wrote to his
boyhood friend, the Vice-President.

Stricken Friday, his body was in

He ordered the body brought to
a funeral parlor and asked that the
bill be sent him in Washington.

COMP ROMISE ON
WATER METERS
FIGHT EXPECTED
Maximum Charge or Free
installation Suggested
as Solution.

Free meter installation by the In
dianapolis Water Company, as sug-
gested by Commissioner Calvin Nc
Intosh of the public service COM
mission, may result in compro-
mise whereby the company may set
maximum charge of $3.75 for me-
ter servicing.
This would mean that a plumber
must meet this estimate, or the
company would do the work.
The proposed compromise came
as the result of a conference of
Howard S. Morse, water company
manager, with Mcintosh at the
statehouse Tuesday.
Refused to Install Meter
Further discussions are to be held
before any definite plan is put into
effect, the commissioner said. He
will go to Morse's Office this week
to inspect some charts compiled by
the company regarding meter in
stallation.
The suggestion for free installa-
ton by the company to the some
$4,000 unmeterized clients was made
by Mcintosh when he held an in
formal hearing on a controversy be-
tween a citizen whose water had
been shut off and company officials.
The shut-off was the result of re-
fusal to install a meter.
Free Service Protested
Figures were presented at that
time showing plumber charges for
meter service had been as high
as SIS.
Tuesday Morse presented a sur
vey Of twelve plumbers charges,
showing the highest to be $3.50 and
lowest So for the service. The
average was SAG.
Mcintosh asked if the company
still would be willing to stand by a
suggested price of $9.75 and this
is to be a matter of further discus
sion.
Free service was objected to on
the grounds that thousands al
ready have paid. Mcintosh is Of
the opinion that the cost to the
company would be repaid in in
creased good will.

AL CALLS ON
PARTY TO SEEK
1882 VICTORY
Garry On Is Message of
Smith to Democrats in
Radio Speech.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Just be-
fore stepping from the political
arena in which he has played so
conspicuous a part, Governor Alfred
E. Smith delivered a message to
the American people" Tuesday
night, calling upon the Demo-
cratic party to carry on" The
address was broadcast over
nationwide radio hookup.
He urged the party to look for
ward and plan a constructive pro-
gram of accomplishment which
would constitute a firm foundation
for the 1882 presidential campaign.
Complete cooperation with Presi-
dent-elect Hoover would be the
duty of every member of the DEM
ocratic party. he said, pointing out
that way would be the way of all
good citizens.
Hoover now is the leader of the
nation, not just of the Republican
party, and he is entitled to fair
chance to plan and carry out a
national program, Smith said.
His own defeat, he said, in no
way indicates that the Democratic
party lays crushed and broken. On
the contract it is alive and vigorous
and now stands in a position to
more successfully than ever solicit
the confidence and support of the
American people, Governor Smith
said.
Forget Party Bitterness
Smith declared that he was as in
tensely interested as ever in the
principles of the Democratic party
and that he not only would stand
for them but battle for them" He
previously had announced, however,
that he would never again be a can
didate for public office.
Touching upon the bitterness
aroused in the campaign, he urged
that it all should be swept aside
and forgotten and the people set
their faces with common enthusiasm
to the nations welfare.
Smith stressed the demand for an
active minority in the country under
the American political system as it
stands.
THE Democratic party certainly
would not be in a position four
years from now to solicit the con-
fidence and support of the Aneri-
can people if during that period it
neglected to build up a constructive
program and relied entirely upon
the failure of the opposition party"
he said.
Need Minority Party
1.-THE existence of such a party is
necessary under our system Of gov
eminent. The people rule mega
lively as well as affirmatively, and
a vigorous and intelligent minority
is a necessary check upon the
tyranny of the majority"
Obstruction practiced as purely
political in its significance and aim
was condemned by Smith, who also
expressed his gratitude to the mil
lions who marked the ballots oppo-
site his name, and he pledged his
listeners his "unceasing interest and
concern with public affairs and the
well-being of the American people"
Accompanied by friends, Governor
Smith planned to leave at 10 a. m.
today for a two weeks vacation at
the Edgewater Gulf hotel, near
Biloxi. Miss.
