naka, premier of Japan.

Station a man in the clothes Of a
laborer tried to stab him with a dagger
The bodyguard prevented the attempt
and arrested the would-be assassin.
Baron Tanaka was not hurt.
The premier was en- route to Utsuno-
miya to attend meeting of his party,
the Seiyukai.
A member of the Diet named Matsu-
mura was stabbed in the leg and a de-
tective slightly injured in attempting
to overpower the premier's assailant.
Followed for Weeks.
The assailant, named Okamura, said
that he had been following the premier
for weeks seeking an opportunity to at

WASHINGTON, June ga final
effort by Robert w. Stewart. oil mil
honaire, 70 nullify legally his prose-
cution on a charge Of contempt of
the Senate was expected to fail at
his trial here today.
The next step is final arguments,
charges by Justice Siddons and sub
mission of the case to the jury. The
last stage may not be reached until
Monday if the usual Saturday recess
is taken.
Jesse c. Adkins, attorney for the
defendant Standard Oil Company
of Indiana chairman, was to resume
today his ten-point attack on the
Teapot Dome investigation and the
indictment. the basis of his motion
for directed verdict of acquittal.
Justice Siddons already has ruled
on several of the points, in favor of
the Government. The motion is not
viewed as dangerous by the Govern
ment, but the objections made are
expected to be used jim appeals to
the Court of Appeals and United
States Supreme Court, if Stewart is
convicted. The oil man faces a
maximum sentence of one year in
a common JAIL and a fine of up
to $1,000 if convicted.

500 TO ATTEND
R. 0. 7. C. PERIOD
HooSier Group to Train at
Camp Knox.

More than 500 Indiana college
juniors will attend the annual
Reserve Officers Training Camp
opening at Camp Knox, KY. June
Is. The training period is six
weeks.
Purdue University with 118 men
of the 196th Field Artillery will
supply most of the students in this
branch at the camp.
Indiana and De Paw Univer-
sites and several of the smaller
schools will send most of the 1888
men for the infantry. Indiana will
not be represented in the coastal
defense.
The camp will be commanded by
Col. G. L. Townsend q Ohio State
University. Most of the officers
assigned to the Indiana colleges
will be instructors in the camp.
Competition in both athletic and
military events is expected to be
insured by the fact that the men
from each school are placed in sep
arate units.
The Purdue battery hopes to re-
peat last years championships in
pistol matches and baseball, and
Indiana to take the track meet and
place high in rifle matches again.

ing due allowance for facial camou-
flage. Among the women that he
set down in the lover 40" list,
about three fourths toed out. But
this great increase in toeing out
among older women is not due to
age, he later concluded. Weight is
the more important factor. AS
heaviness increases with age, the
feet respond by turning outward.
Eighty per cent of the heavily
built women over 40 toed out.
Eut only 40 per cent of the Light
weight women over 40 turned out

Tourist Denies Conviction
in Effort to Land in
England.

SOUTHAMPTON, England, June
8.-Harry Thaw's representatives,
in last desperate effort to pre-
vent his exclusion from England as
an undesirable alien, have repre-
sented to home Office authorities
that Thaw never really was con-
victed of Stanford Whites murder
but was held insane.
The section of the alien restric-
ton law under which Thaw was
barred when he tried to land from
the liner Aquitania specifically uses
the word convicted" as regards
extraditable crimes.
Even if this difficulty we're over
come however, authorities if they
wished would be able to bar Thaw
without giving any reason.
Thus, only twenty-four hours be-
fore the Aquitania's sailing on the
return voyage to the United States,
Thaw still was aboard, under sur
vigilance.
He spent the morning idling about
the ship-lesS optimistic than he
was Thursday when he told the
United Press he had engaged a suite
at the Savoy Hotel in London.
Thaw's lawyers have advised him
to do nothing at the moment.
"They pointed out that the stu
alton was at a delicate stage just
now" he said, land that further
publicity possibly might spoil what
ever chance there is Of my being
able to land"

ST, 100000 Shortridge High
School Building to Be
Ready by 1929.

Although school buildings costing
more than $2,600,000 are under way,
or planned for construction this
year, indianapolis is far behind in
its school building schedule, ac-
cording to Albert F. Walsman,
school business director.
A number of new buildings and
additions needed in various sections
of the city cannot be constructed
this year because of lack Of funds,
he said.
The school city is within 81, 100000
Of the $13,G00,000 bonded indebted
ness limit, including buildings under
construction and proposed this year.
Grade Buildings Planned
Walsman said plans are being
made now to build several new
grade buildings next year from the
tax levy in order not to increase the
bonded Indebtedness.
He added the schools are grad
ually recovering from the post war
period Of high building prices and
school room shortage, but due to
reluctance of the board to encroach
much farther on the bonded in
debtedness limit, progress is slow.
1T is the purpose of the board to
build high schools by bond issue
and grade buildings by direct taxa
tion," Walsman said, "but this has
been made impossible in the past
seven or eight years because of the
State tax board cutting too deeply
into the budget and levy"
Two High Schools Needed
"The city needs two new high
schools at once, one at Broad Ripple
and in Irvington.
School 81, Seventeenth and Rural
Sts.. now occupying several port
ables, needs a new building. A
new building is needed in southeast
Indianapolis to relieve crowded
conditions at School 81, Rural st.
and English Ave, and School 80,
Lexington and State Ave.
Additions are needed at School
"A, Twenty First and Sugar Grove
Ave; School 40, at 1902 w. Morris
st., and many Others"
Walsman said much of the money
which should go for new buildings
now must be used to pay interest
on bonds. Interest payments of
$515000 are due this year.
ShOrtridge Near Completion
The new $1,300,00O Shortridge
High School, Thirty Fourth and
Meridian Sts., will be ready for
occupancy next January.
New bids will be received Monday
for a $215,0O0 auditorium and gym
nasium at Arsenal Technical High
School.
Completion of School "a, at Fifty
Seventh and Central Ave, with
fourteen rooms, this summer will
relieve crowded conditions at School
30, xty-Third and Marion StS.,
and School 70, Forty-Sixth and
Central Ave.
An eight-room addition at School
70, Thirtieth and School ST., will be
completed this summer.
Construction of two new wings at
Arsenal Technical, costing $250,000,
will be completed within a month
or two.
A 100000 proposed bond issue for
new School so and additions to
Schools AZ, 4S and &c, is pending
before the tax board.
