PARK BOARD
WILL DECIDE
BUS CONFLICT
Butler Plea for Routing
Coaches on Meridian
Up Monday.
BITTER BATTLE CERTAIN
Residents Along Street to
Wage Determined War
Against Change.

City council chamber is expected
TO ring Monday afternoon with the
first clash of town and gown" since
Butler university was moved to Fair
view campus.
Two thousand students and pro-
fessors are backing the indianapolis
Street Railways petition to route q
new through Fairview bus line from
the Circle to Thirty-Sixth street on
Meridian street.
Property owners along the street,
from which trucks and BUSES now
are barred because it is a boulevard,
and the Hoosier Motor Club are
fighting the proposal.
The park board is the referees
which will decide the contest after
the public hearing scheduled for
Monday afternoon.
Lawyers to Argue
Both sides are preparing argu-
ments, which probably will be pre-
sented by lawyers, complemented by
excited lay speakers.
The street railway company is ex-
pected to cite:
l. Butler students, many of whom
live in other parts of the city, and
residents of the rapidly growing sec
ton between FairYiew and Thirty
fourth street, are entitled to better
transportation than that now af-
forded by the feeder car line from
thirty fourth and Illinois streets to
the campus and the Capitol avenue
feeder bus from Thirty fourth and
Illinois streets.
2. Meridian street presents the
only fast and economical route for
bus line to Fairview from the
business district, since Meridian is
the widest, straightest thoroughfare.
3. Faster service must be supplied,
because students living in the east,
west and south sides must spend
more than an hour getting to the
campus under the present system.
RemOnstrance Presented
The answer of the residents is
found in a remonstrance to be pre-
sented by the Meridian property
owners Monday. 1t points out:
l. Meridian street is one of the
main outlets for north traffic and
is overcrowded, even with buses
and trucks excluded.
2. Heavy motor buses soon would
ruin the new paving and destroy
the attractiveneSS of the street,
which is just matter of pride 10
the whole city and Of praise on the
part of great numbers of visitors
and tourists who enter the city
thereon"
3. A sufficient number of police
never can be furnished to provide
for the safety of the several thous-
and children who cross the street
to attend Cathedral high anG
parochial schools, st. Agnes
academy, Public School 60, Episco-
pal church and parish house and
the new Shortridge high school, all
located either on the street or SC
close as to empty their human
stream into 1t.
4. To allow stream of heavy mo-
tor buses, rapidly driven as they
are and will be on both sides of the
street, would render the street vast
ly more crowded and dangerous to
other traffic and to the lives OF
these school children and the public
than it now is.
The park board had the problem
passed to it when the Public Ser
vice commission refused to rule on
the street railways petition to put
buses on the street, holding it was
a matter for the city to decide.

Taken Up Near Our Border.
BROWNSVILLE. Tex, Nov. 16.-
More than 100000 acres of land
in Mexico and the Rio Grande
valley of Texas will be colonized by
thousands of Greeks within the next
few months, CosteS Athans, their
spokesman announces here.
Two tracts, near each other at the
international boundary line, the Rio

attempt to relieve conditions among
Greeks in the eastern and northern
factory centers, according to Athans,
who is the pastor of the Four
Square Gopel church in Los Angeles,
as well as the leader of the back
to-the-soil movement of his race.
An option has been obtained on a
big tract in the Mexican state of
TamaulipaS.
This land, Athans says will be
used by immigrants not yet admit
ted to the United States and by the
overflow from the Texas colony.

H00SIER ELECTORS
EAGER FOR COLLEGE
When De We Meet? Inquiries
Swamp Governor.

Swamp Governor.
The fifteen Hoosier presidential
electors have developed a sort of
electoral college yell. 1t is voiced
in various requests being received
by Governor Ed Jackson regarding
the date when the college will con-
vene. 1t seems that several statutes
have been unearthed regarding the
proper date to gather and solemnly
declare the election of Hoover.
Some contend that it should be
the Wednesday of the second week
in January. Some declare for Mon
day, and a third contention is that
it should be on the day the Gov
ernor is inaugurated.
The meeting of the collegians will
be in the house of representatives.
That much is settled Governor
Jackson has promised to set date,
when he finds out what the law re-
ally does mean.

'HOOUer Pleased With Outlook
for Farm Relief Legislation
President Elect Is Cheered
by Moves Toward Agri-
cultural Aid.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES

PALO ALTO, Cal, Nov. 10
President Elect Hoover is pleased
with reports from Washington that
congress, at its coming short session,
may enact a farm relief program
adequate for immediate relief, thus
obviating the necessity of an extra
session after March 4.
Hoover promised an extra session
in the closing days of his presi-
dental campaign, unless adequate
relief was afforded during the short
winter session, which at that time
seemed improbable.
Now, however, it appears that Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Jardine and
Senator Charles McNary of Oregon,
co-author of the McNary- Haugen
bill, are likely to reach an agree
ment on legislation along lines laid
down by the president-elect and
that McNary and other farm lead
ers will press relief measures.
other Aid Promised
Establishment of sterilization
corporations constitutes the heart
of Hoover's farm relief program,
which provides likewise for tariff
increases on agricultural products
and further aid to cooperative
marketing. as well as such long
time assistance as development of
inland waterways.
If congress at the short session
meets his views in so far as to pass
a measure setting up sterilization
corporations, thus establishing ma
chinery to aid the farmer in mar
keting next years crop, he will not
call an extra session.
This will leave him free to plan
during the several months before
the new congress regularly as
sembles in December, 1929, other
measures for aid of agriculture on
a longtime basis, including tariff
increases, further aids to cooper

Packs for Voyage
1t is understood that Immediately
after his Inauguration, he then
would start investigation into ev-
cry phase of the agricultural prob
lem. which would form the basis
of series of legislative proposals
to comprehensive and permanent
cure of the agricultural distress. His
plan would be submitted in the fol-
lowing December.
The PreSident-elect completed
packing today for his South Ameri-
can tour. Trunks and boxes carry
ing his and Mrs. Hoover's effects
were loaded aboard trucks and
carted to the station, to be shipped
to San Pedro and there put aboard
the battleShip Maryland, which sails
Monday.
Further details of his itinerary
will be announced by Henry P.
Fletcher, ambassador to Italy, rep
resenting President Coolidge on the
trip, when he joins the party at
San Pedro, according to George
AkerSon, Hoover'S assistant.

HA2LETON, Pa, June S.-~Charles
Stephenson Smith, chief of the for
eign service of the Associated Press,
addressed the newspaper day luncheon
of the Kiwanis Club today on foreign
news He laid special emphasis upon
the value to the American public, and
people all over the world. of news which
merely tells facts and is not colored
with the opinions Of reporters or ed
itorS who may be under the influence
of political or financial groups or other
interests.
Mr.. Smith said simple facts. simply
told, are much better diet for a
Searcher after truth than thunderous
opinions. laboriously delivered. "Opin-
ions" he said. ARE not necessarily an
achievement. And, after all, We like
our own opinions better than the other
fellows"
Paying marked respect to Melville E.
Stone and his associates in the creation
of the Associated Press 35 wears ago,
MIR Smith said these builders acted ON
the belief that readers are capable of
doing their own thinking and drawing
their own conclusions from facts pre-
sented without bias or prejudice. They
also believed that news should not be
commodity sold Tor profit III the open
market, but should be gathered CO.
operatively by newspapers of all polit-
ical and religious beliefs, and protected
against the manipulations of any indi-
vidual or group of individuals.
Mr., Stones pioneer work In creating
sustained foreign service, the first
real foreign service the United States
ever had, was reviewed by the speaker.
Through agreements with the leading
news agencies of the world the Asso-
ciated Press has access to their reports.
Trained American correspondents in all
important foreign countries prepare
news reports for the United States, and
the foreign agencies in turn have cor
respondents in the Associated Press
headquarters in New York who prepare
American news for their various coun-
tries, thus facilitating a regular and
systematic International exchange of
news, which has done much TO better
the understanding between nations and
