More than 100 workmen will

City Attorney Carl Budwesky
said today he expected the loans
to be completed and funds avail

weeks.
Two loans have been nego-
tiated, one of 100000 for the
school and an addition to the
colored school, and a loan of
$25O,O00 for sewer installation
and street improvement.
Council has not yet decided
how the new school will be built,

Sell Wine

DEARBORN, Mich. Feb. 7
G.N.SO.-Henry Ford'S hotel
today possesses a State license
to sell liquor. But guests will
have to get along without
whisky or bring their own
supplies.
John S. Packard, manager Of
Dearborn Inn, said today that
only wines will be served at
the hotel, which is owned by
Ford but managed by an indie
pendent company. Mr.. Packard
said:
"NO resistance will be offered
If guests wish to bring their
own liquor and mix their own
highballS. The conservative
attitude on the question is an
expression of the feeling Of
both the owners and the
managing company"
Mr.. Ford's opposition to
hard" liquor has become pro
verbal. Guests were startled
recently when 80 beer was
served to newspaper men at a
luncheon given by Mr.. Ford in

FEARS AROUSED
BY z MISSING
AMERICANS
Heavy Guard Of Troops Placed
Around Ambassadors House;
Women Narrowly Escape

PARIS. Feb. 7 Q.N.S0.-Robert
Pell, press attache of the American
Embassy, was among those in
jured in the Place de la Concorde
rioting, it was disclosed today.
The American consulate was
asked to search for two New York
erS, reported missing after the
fighting
Pell was struck over the head
with a night stick by policeman
who encountered him as he was
leaving the embassy, located
directly off the Place de la Con-
corde.
Bullet Grazes Woman
Mr.. Pell's injuries were de-
scribed as serious but not crit1-
Cal.
A bullet grazed the leg Of
Mrs. Gustave Porges, American
wife of a member of Paris society,
as she was sitting in the lobby
Of the Hotel Crillon.
She was talking with M. Gau-
don, manager Of the hotel, and
his wife, when the bullet shat
tered a window.
Found in Hospital
John Wolfe, a New Yorker, who
was missing overnight, was To-
Gated today in Laennec Hospital.
He had been severely beaten, but
his condition was not regarded as
critical. His injuries were re-
ceived, it was stated, at the hands
of the police during the rioting in
the Place de Ia Concorde. Briton
Busch, a travel agent from New
York, was still missing.
The American Embassy today
was under a heavy troop guard,
with steel shutters protecting its
windows and a heavy steel fence
surrounding the grounds.
The Hotel Crillon opposite the
Embassy, and a residence favored
by many Americans, also was ur-
der an armed guard.
Hotel Girl Killed
Both buildings were Splattered
with bullets yesterday, a French
chambermaid being killed as she
stood on balcony of the hotel,
while one of its managers was
wounded.
Americans in both buildings had
narrow escapes. Three Embassy
attaches, Theodore Mariner, coun-
sellor, and Robert Pell and Pinck-
ney Tuck, assistants, watched the
fighting from a balcony while bull
lets struck the wall behind them.
Mrs. Gustave Porges, an Amer
ican who has long resided in the
Hotel Crillon, narrowly escaped
death or injury when bullet
crashed through a window and
whizzed past her as she sat in
drawing room embedding itself in
the wall.
Americans in Peril
There were many other Ameri-
can guests in the Crillon who wit
messed the fighting, including Mrs.
Jessie Barr, Miss Vida Moore,
and John w. Harris, of New York,
and Arthur Grendon, of st. Louis.
Because both the Embassy and
the Crillon are located off the
Place de la Concorde, Americans
probably were nearer to the fight
ing than any other single group
Of foreigners.
Although Frances economic
situation lay in the background,
the immediate cause of the Paris
revolutionary riots was the Sta
visky pawnshop scandal, which
resulted in a loss of $4,000, 900
to the French public and later
was revealed as involving high
government officials.

Advises.
BY GEORGE II. DENNY
Times Fishing Editor

Weeks ago 7 promised cores
pondent who signed himself Dry
fly that I would assemble him some
dope on trout fishing in Indiana.
This much I've discovered No one
person knows all the information
and there is no one place to get It..
The conservation department has
been experimenting with trout plant
ing in the northern part OF the state
for years. They find that for no
apparent reason some sections Of
streams Will support the fish while
other parts will not.
In border line districts such as
northern Indiana. trout planting is
a ticklish business. Stream tenn
parature is all-important. The faint
est touch Of pollution is fatal Other
factors add to the problem.
My Phone Number Is
Much successful planting has been
done by individual sportsmen who
have discovered an innocent looking
stretch Of water that happens to be
suitable because it is fed by springs
and will maintain a low average
temperature through the most pun
lShing summer. Undoubtedly many
OF the catches of trout in Indiana
are the result Of such private initia-
tive, and the men responsible for
this good work are not broadcaSting
the locations.
You can't blame them for that
They deserve to reap the rewards of
their work, and if 1 knew of such
spot 1 wouldn't violate the conf
dence. my phone number is in the
book bOys)
To sum up, between the private
stOckers and The conservation de-
partment the work is going ahead.
There are trout in certain Indiana
streams in decent quantities. An
other five years may see good sport,
but let's be patient and give the fish
a real chance to become intrenched.
A horde of fishermen descending on
the few good spots at this time would
undo all the work.
Michigan's Better
So "Dryfy," why not keep kong
when you start north until you
reach one of the hundreds of fine
Michigan or Wisconsin streams
where you are sure to get trout. I'm
starting for the Pere Marquette my
self on the third of June and you're
invited. Let's give Indiana's infant
industry a break because it's the
right thing to do and because Indi-
ana trout fishing is not the best yet
anyhow
Well, all right, if you insist, III
tell you this much. It's already been
in the paper so I'm not Spilling any
secrets, and maybe you didn't see it.
