Danish SLUMS
Plan for $4,460,000 Loan
to Build New Houses
Is Detailed.

Tentative approval of the federal
government for a $4,460,000 loan to
indianapolis for elimination OF
slums and erection of low-cost hous-
ing units, as revealed in The Times
Friday today was confirmed here by
Robert D. Kohn of Washington, dl-
rector of the housing division of the
NRA.
Kohn revealed that plans have
been under way for some time and
that thus fat only three cities in the
nation have qualified for the fed
eral loans. They are indianapolis,
Cleveland and st. Louis.
The plan awaits only the approval
and signature Of President Roose-
welt and campaign to raise a 10
per cent share by the city.
Negro Section Selected
Kohn refused to admit that a
definite district had been surveyed
for the city, but it was understood
that the Negro section in the north
west section of indianapolis had
been selected.
Developments have been kept
secret for some time and were
learned by The Times Friday at
Washington. Harmon E. Smoke, OF
the Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce. has been aiding in complla-
ton of statistics.
According to the plan, described
by Kohn, the federal government
will loan to the city $4,460,0O0, and
the city will provide as its share 10
per cent of $669,00O, a total OF
$5,129,000
The entire program will be placed
in the hands of a local committee,
and title of the property will be
placed with this committee. Rentals
will be made by the committee Tor
the Iow-cost model units and semi
annual payments on the loan MADE
to Washington.
Rent to Be $3.50
According to Kohn, the lowest
cost house will rent for approx
mately $l75O mOnCn' Inc lIlsil
est cost, it was learned, will be
$3.50 for four rooms, heated.
Heading the local committee at
the present stage are Joe Rand
Beckett, local attorney, who has
made several trips to Washington,
and Professor R. Clyde White,
director of the social research de-
division.
1t was understood that the de-
velopment here will add $1,0OO,OoO
to the city's taxable property
valuation. 1t also was learned that
&c per cent of the citys relief
funds are spent in the district to
be aided. e
Stun clearance for districts not
inhabited by Negroes will be con-
sidered later, it was said.

HEAT RECORD
OF SEPTEMBER
IS THREATENED
Mercury Is Expected to
Pass SO; ProStrationS,
Deaths Reported.
REDUCE SCHOOL HOURS
Crops Are PeriIed by Late
Torrid Wave; City
Lawns SCOrChed.

Temperatures threatening all-time
September heat records held Indiana
in a tight grip today and it is posi-
BILE that the mercury will pass So in
Indianapolis this afternoon, the all
time record for the month here.
Despite a prediction of slightly
cooler weather for Sunday, there
were no indications this afternoon
that the heat wave would be broken.
Starting at 70 at this morning,
the mercury had risene to SO at
p. m. At 1890, it was estimated
that sidewalk temperatures were
near 100.
Two Indianapolis men were pros
trated by the heat and were treated
at city hospital. Three deaths and
several prostrations were reported
in the state.
Dies in Evansville
The latest victim was Henry
Bracket, so, who fell dead after
working all day on a railroad bridge
at Evansville.
Official government thermometers
registered 100 degrees in Columbus
and Vincennes Friday. South Bend,
Wheatfield, and Lafayette sweltered
under SO degrees, Rochester re-
ported SO, Angola 81, Cambridge
City, Paoli, and Terre Haute SO and
Indianapolis 90.
At Warsaw, the schools were dis
missed an hour early Friday after
one pupil was overcome in a class
room.
May Cut School Hours
Paul G. Stetson, superintendent
of Indianapolis schools, declared
that if the above normaI tempera-
lures continued next week, school
would be curtailed to half days.
One city man was found in near
collapse at Capitol avenue and
Washington street and removed to
his home by a city fireman. The
victim, Jacob Wyttenbach, So, of
1913 North Traub avenue, later was
removed to city hospital.
Friday, the other city man was
Frustrated. He was Joseph Bran
son, II, of 233 North Gable street,
who collapsed while walking at
Pearl and Blackford streets. He
was treated at city hospital.
If rain does not fall soon, crops
all over Indiana will be endangered,
farm leaders predicted. Two horses
and thirty hogs succumbed to the
intense heat in KoSciusko county on
Friday and the crop loss will be
heavy, said farmers, unleas rain
falls soon.
Corn Helped by Heat
Horace E. Abbott, Marion county
agricultural agent, said today that
late corn has been aided by the
heat, following last Saturdays rain,
but added that much more rain is
needed in the county.
Many lawns and gardens in the
city have been scorched by the heat.
The thermometers registered 95
Friday, equalling the all-time Sept.
8 record for Indianapolis. The
record was equalled at 3 p. m.

ROOSEVELT CANCELS TRIP TO
WATCH RISING CUBAN PERIL;
CRISIS AT HAND IN ISLAND
Week End Events to Decide
Whether u. S. Will
Intervene.
WARSHIPS ARE READY
Fate of New Government
Rests on Ability to
Protect Foreigners.
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. - This
weekend will determine whether
the United States is to intervene in
Cuba, officials believed today. Presi-
dent Roosevelt Cancelled his holiday
fishing trip that he might stay in
personal command.
His course depended entirely on
the ability of the ruling revolution
airy junta in Havana to form a
government strong enough to main
tain order and protect foreigners.
A fleet Of warships and bombing
planes and regiment of marines
awaited only the presidential COM
mand. In the balance was not onlv
Cuba's future, but the entire amer
lean diplomatic policy in Latin
America.
Officials fear display OF Amer
lean military strength would arouse
the old fear of the Colossus of the
North" and jeopardize all efforts at
economic unity for the countries of
the western hemisphere.
Appeal to Three Nations
The appeal by Mexico to Argen-
tine, Brazil and Chile to use their
influence with the Cuban regime
to assure safety of life and prop
erty, was regarded as safeguard
against excessive anti-Americanisn.
should intervention become neces-
sary.
War vessels and planes were in
vantage points near Cuba, prepared
for instant action. A number of
vessls were in Cuban harbors.
A record nonstop mass flight
from Hampton Roads. Va, to Coco
Solo, G. T., put naval seaplanes
within striking distance. Flying
through f1fty-mile squall and for
the most part over water, the planes
made the 2,056 miles in twenty-five
hours and twenty-five minutes.
The American destroyer Overton
proceeded to Cienfuegos after a
call at the Isle Of Pines, where $50
Americans had asked protection
when the release of 1000 inmates
of a penal colony was threatened.
The OVerton found everything quiet.
A coast guard destroyer moved
into position to protect Americans
at Antilla, Cuba.
Will Protect Americans
The cruiser Indianapolis. carving
Secretary of Navy Claude A. Swan
son, proceeded toward the west
coast, after tWo-hour stop in Ha-
vana harbor. The secretary did not
leave the ship.
1t was emphasized by state de-
partment officials that this govern
ment's sole interest in Intervention
would be protection of American
lives, and no responsibility would be
given the naval and military forces
to protect American property.
1t was stressed that this govern
ment was neutral toward Cuban fac
tions. This was regarded as an i'm
piled denial of reports that it was
seeking to re-establish Carlos Man
uel De Cespedes as president.
The desire of President Roosevelt
to avoid any warlike gesture led to
cancellation of his fishing trip,
which was scheduled to start from
Quantico, Va, where 1850 marines
are held in readiness. He feared
his visit would be regarded as a re-
view of the marines prior to sailing.

GOOD HEADWAY
IS RECORDED
ON CURB
BY THEODORE KosLow


NEW YORK, Jan. 20 G.N.S).
The curb market gave indications
of inaugurating a new upward
phase today, under more aggres-
sive leadership.
Most sections Of the list re-
corded moderate headway, with
many issues reaching their best
levels of the week.
Spectators Buying
There was considerable specula-
tive buying as well as short-cov.
ering by cautious professionals.
Buying was not of the hurried
type, however, with bullish OBJ
servers prone to regard the cur
rent firmnesS as the preliminary
stages of a more vigorous ad-
vance.
Electric Bond and Share was
heavily bought in the utility
group. partly as an aftermath Of
its 1882 earnings report disclosing
net per common share Of 80
cents. At its top price Of 192s
it was up 1h points on the day.
Bonds Rule Higher
Aluminium led the speciality
group, advancing Ia points to
501a. Pratt and Lambert rose 1ss
to 10A and Montgomery Ward A
was up / at SO.
Oils showed a much improved
tone and investment trusts were
firm.
The bond market ruled gen.
orally higher.

WASHINGTON TIMES SPORTS
ORGANIZATION
Of NEW LOOP
UNDER WAY

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-New
England will have organized base
ball this year If the New York
Yankees, New York Giants and
Brooklyn Dodgers can find suf-
ficient cooperation in plans al
ready under way for the forma-
ton Of a new league.
Either the old New England
League will be revived or some Of
the towns of the Eastern League
will be combined with some of
the towns of the old New England
organization to form q new cir
cult.
Joe Carr, of Columbus, Ohio,
president Of the National Foot
ball League, and George Weiss,
who looks after the minor league
interests of Col. Jake Rupert,
owner of the Yankees, are the
prime movers in getting the new
league together.
The Yankees are keenly inter
ested in having q team in Spring
field to take care of their new
talent and so are other major
league clubs. There Is so much
high class playing talent avail
able the new loop would surely
bear a Glass A rating.
Money Men Interested
The organizers are in touch
with moneyed interests in Lynn,
Haverill, Fall River, Portland,
Manchester, Fitchburg, Providence,
Pittsfield, New London, Bridge
port and Hartford.
The plan Is to have a closely
knit circuit where buS-jumps
would be the rule, thus saving
railroad fares and other over
head.
Weiss figures the circuit could
be put on a paying basis from
the start.
"TOO high salaries plus the de-
pressiOn," says Weiss, wrecked
the Eastern League last year.
But business is coming back
this year and with lower
salaries for players in vogue
and any number Of high class
performers begging for jobs,
well-balanced circuit could be
arranged"
