CURTIS is new
DARK HORSE IN
c. 0. P. DERBY
Kansas Senator Plays Quiet
Game; HooVeriteS Rap
Dawes Strategy.
BY RAY TUCKER

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Sen-
ator Charles G. Curtis of Kansas
has usurped Vice President Dawes
position as dark horse in the Re
publican presidential derby, in the
opinion Of many practical politi-
clans.
Curtis has so far been able to keep
out of range of the shrapnel kick
ing UP dust around other political
camps. He is combining most Of his
efforts to Kansas, and nobody shows
any desire to modest his faVorite son
activities. He is not exposing his
candidacy to enemy fire, but is con-
tent to pick up second, third and
even fourth choice Endorsements.
He virtually admits he is merely
an eXpectant candidate, in fact, he
is not anxious to discuss his
candidacy lest he attract too much
attention to it. In some respects
the Kansan's stealthy campaign is
unique in recent political history
He has no campaign manager, no
headquarters, no ballyhoOers, no
publicity office.
Dawes is not in the race formally.
but his name is on the tongue Of
every politician. It has been public
ly charged that such favorite sons
as Lowden, willis and Watson arc
stalking horses for the vice presi-
dent, and he has not seen fit to
deny it.
Secretary Hooyers field marshals
in Ohio and Indiana are aiming
lusty shots at the vice president,
using the argument against Willis
and Watson that they do not ex-
pect to be serious candidates, but to
deadlock the convention in Dawes
favor. II these tactics continue, the
Chicago bankers professions that
he is not a candidate will not be
taken seriously anywhere.
The Hoover people intend TO force
him into the OPEN if possible. They
fear his strategy Of staying in the
background may add strength to his
candidacy once it gets under way at
Kansas City, or before. They hope
to jockey the vice president into a.
position where his record and avail
ability can be Scrutlnized as nett
culouSly as HoOVer's has been.

Il am glad Of this opportunity to

After trying all kinds Of remedies,
which failed to give me even tenn

say word Tor the medicine which

was forced to go on a special diet
for several months. My appetite
became very poor and at times I
would have to force myself to eat.
AFTER doctoring for a long time
without results, I began to look
around for something else which
might give me relief. Koniola, was
suggested to me by a friend and I
started taking it. It gradually be-
gan to relieve me, altho it worked
very slowly. I realized that my
condition was of long standing and
therefore decided to give this medi-
cine a fair trial. l have now taken
several bottles and can truthfully
say that am eating most anything
and do not suffer afterward. The
diets, which formerly used, are a
thing of the past. Gas does not
form any more and I never bloat
up like l used to. The heavy feeling
has entirely disappeared, my APP
petite is wonderfully improved and
I am no longer short of breath. 1t
has made 2 new man of me and
certainly recommend it to my
friends"

ducing and explaining the merits Of
this remedy.-Adyertisement

INJUNCTION LAW
WILL Be DRAWN
Labor Wins First Fight in
Senate Committee.

81 CFttcG Press
WASHINGTON, March 13.-Vic-
tory today had apparently crowned
the efforts of the american Fedora
ton of Labor to convince the Senate
Judiciary Committee that legislation
is needed to curb the abuse of in
functions against labor unions.
Senator George w. Norris, chair
man Of the committee which has
been hearing labor leaders and en-
ployer representatives for more than
a month, said that some measure
embracing the general ideas sought
by labor would be reported out. He
was unprepared to say what form it
would take.
The Shipstead bill, sponsored by
organized labor, has been attacked
by patent and copyright lawyers as
detrimental to their rights in equity
suits Organized labor intended
nothing like this, and it is likely
that the bill will be revised with
these and other uninportant
changes.
1t will then go to the floor, where
the La Toilette progressives plan to
make strong fight for it's enact
ment, as outlined in their program
at the beginning Of the present ses-
sion.
All the testimony is now in except
rebuttal, which the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the United
Mine Workers of America will offer
at hearings Thursday and Friday.

BRANDS COSTS HIGH
M'FaII Protests Bond Issue
for Sewage Plant.

Russell McFall, former city sani-
tary board member, appeared as
witness against the present sanitary
board today at a State tax board
hearing on the remonstrance of
Harry MieSSe, Indiana Taxpayers
Association secretary, against two
sanitary board bond issues.
One of the bond issues, for
sec, 763, is sought to buy a $4,000
steam turbine for the city sewage
disposal plant and to pay debts.
The other, for $4,000, is to provide
a concrete resettling tank for the
sewage plant, to build the Iowa St.
intercepting sewer and to make
other additions and alterations at
the disposal plant.
McFall declared the expenditures
unnecessary and declared the eSti-
mates too high. 1t is of no use to
put more sewage through the sew
age disposal plant until the plant
better purifles the sewage, he said.
The real problem of the plant is to
dispose of the large quantities Of
sludge, he said.
Charles H. Hurd, board consult
ing engineer, and Board Members
O. C. Ross and A. H. Moore argued
for the bond issues.
DR.. William F. King, State health
board secretary, declared that the
board should look toward the flu
ture. 1t is a mistaken impression,
however, he said that a sewage dis
posal plant can clean all the Sewaga
put through it. Seventy per cent
is about the maximum, he said.
The tax board took the matter
under adviSement.

Three BOYS DIE
IN LAKE WATER
Breaking Ice Causes Trag-
edy at La Porte.

LA PORTE, Ind, March 13--
Three boys, each less than 10 years
old were drowned in Clear Lake
here Monday night, when they at
tempted to walk across a thin coat
ing of ice, which was not suff1-
GENTLY strong to hold them.
Three others scrambled to safety
when the ice collapsed.
The dead are Harold Burg, 8;
Ralph Vaudeville, 6; and George
Vaudeville, 9, Ralph's brother.
The three sllrVivors--Lawson Bell,
8; Ernest Clarity, 9, and a boy
known as Stanley-were afraid to
tell their parents of the accident
and townspeople did not learn of
the deaths until almost two hours
after the ice gave way.
Lawson Bell told the first story
at his home. He refused to eat,
saying he was i'll. and went to a
davenport to lie down. His parents
heard him mumbling and finally
he said IT believe Harold drowned,
too" Lawson had been promised
a whipping if he went near the
ice and fear of this was believed
to have kept him from telling the
story Immediately after the acct
dent.
Under questioning, Lawson fin
ally broke and told the circum-
stances. He said the six boys
wanted to go to a park, across the
lake, but that three of them had
hesitated at the lake. Then he
said, the Vaudeville brothers and
the Burg boy assured them it was
all right and struck out across the
ice. The other three followed,
hesitantly and were far enough
back to scramble to safety when
the ice broke.
More than a thousand persons
watched police drag the lake for
the bodies. >All bodies we're re-
covered in two hours.

CITY STUDENTS
. TO VISIT MOON
=. WITH SPEAKER
Illustrated Talk Booked
for SCripps- Howard
: Science Editor.

indianapolis high school students
will have the opportunity this week
Of making Journey of million
times trillion miles. But they will
be able to make the journey in less
than an hour and without leaving
their school buildings.
They will be able to do it through
an Illustrated lecture on astronomy
by David Dietz, Scripps- Howard SCI
erce editor and fellow of the Royal
Astronomical Society, titled "a Trip
Through the Universe"
Dietz is to lecture at 10:45 a. m.
Wednesday at the Washington High
School. He will give two lectures
at Shortridge High School Thursday,
starting at 1915 a. m, and will
speak Friday at the Crispus Attacks
High School.
Shows Slides of Moon
BY means of the lantern slides
which Diet5 uses, the students will
first visit the moon.
The distance from the earth to
the moon seems large, but it is
mere trif1e, as distances go in as
rronomy," Dietz says. 1.-THE moon is
only 100000 miles away.
We realize how small that dis
lance is when we find that the sun
is. 100000 miles away, while the
nearest star is 100000, 100000
miles eaWay. Many stars are ten
thousand times as far away as that"
But while stronony teaches how
small the earth is in comparison
to the rest of the universe, Dietz
does not believe that the lesson of
astronomy is a gloomy one.
Lesson of Astronomy
II believe that the big lesson of
astronomy lies in the fact that it
has been possible for the mind of
man to reach out from this little
earth of ours and comprehend the
great universe of stars" he says.
Astronomy teaches us that We
can reach out if we want to. 1t
teaches that we can carry our civil
lization on, making it ever finer and
nobler if we only have the willing
ness and the will power to do it.
1.-The lesson of astronomy is an
inspiring one.
Most astronomers whom I have
met have had deeply religious feel
1ngs.
Learn Relative Sizes
"HoW could it be otherwise? The
old PSalmist, to whom the stars
gre merely little lamps hanging in
e dome Of the sky, said The hea-
ms proclaim the glory of God and
ne armament shoWeth His handi-
work
1.-THE statement Of the Psalmist
has a thousand times more mean
for the modern astronomer, who
Icalizes the true size of the stars
and the heavens"
The Times will begin publication
OF a daily article on science by
Dietz Monday, March 10.

GERMAN NAVY
FINDS WAY TO
DODGE TREATY
Limited in Number, Nation
Concentrates on Gun
Power, Speed.
BY MILTON BRONNER
NEA Service Writer

/ ONDON, March l3.-There is
~ another way than through
sheer force of numbers to create
a powerful navy, and if there is
any foundation for the worries of
British and French navy officers,
Germany seems to have discov-
cred that method.
Restricted though she is by the
treaty of Versailles, Germany is
believed to be building a fighting
fleet that some day may surprise
the world.
Efforts Arc Concentrated
With superior quality of armour
plating, tremendous concentrated
power of their guns and the speed
with which they could run to or
from an enemy ship, tie few vessels
being built by Germany may have
the offensive power of a force much
larger in numbers.
On paper, it looks as though
Germany is thoroughly shackled
by the Versailles treaty.
She is allowed but six battleships
of the Deutschland type, not TO ex-
coed 10000 tone each; six light
cruisers OF not more than 5000 tons;
twelve destroyers of 800 tons and
twelve torpedo boats.
Allowed No Submarines
Shn &c ol1ouyaI ,.f,-o-
and can construct no new battle
ships or cruisers except as replace
ments for ships more than 20 years
old
Notwithstanding these limita-
lions. Germany's navy estimate for
the present year is about $50000,-
600, and one-fourth of this is to be
devoted to new construction.
AS to deStroyers, a half fiotilla al
ready is in service and another is
in construction. The navy also has
in contemplation the building of
four coast defense ships of 10000
tone each.
The thing that is worrying the
British and French. and also acute
critics Of the German government
at home, is the prodigiouS cost Of
these things.
Cost Is Mystifying
The cost is said to be mystifying.
The cost of some recent German
ships has been reported to the
ReichStag as high as 81, 1000 per ton,
whereas the British only spent
$1,000 per ton on their greatest sup
erdreadnaughts, the Nelson and the
Rodney.
The German navy authorities reply
to their home critics by saying that
the Versailles treaty makes German
construction more expensive be-
cause other countries enjoy the
benefits of mass construction.
The following comparisons have
been made be tw c n the sea
strength of several powers:
Germany: personnel $4,000 Of
f1cers and men, with Il navy as out
lined above; budget $55.00O,000.
Italy: personnel: $4,000 men with
more than three times the number
Vi OllABo dAlOWCO AlCA a lONCA~
full aviation service and an elabor-
ate coast defense system (Which is
forbidden Germany; budget $780,
100000.
France: personnel, $1,000 men;
ships equal to those of Italy; elab-
crate aviation and coast defense
services; budget $6OOO0,0O0.
It is believed that with their
limited navy, the Germans are con-
centrating on two things:
Gun power: securing by expert
ment six-inch guns of a concen-
trated intensity and power of fire
never known before.
Speed: securing by experiment
Diesel motor engines of a type
hitherto unknown and capable of
amazing the world by the rapidity
with which they will propel ships
through the water.
