the I Today Tammany--Hard to Sell. Princess's 50-50s. Ears, Eyes, Noses-Wrong. Wanted, a Sob Anthem. -By Arthur FUDGE ROCKWELL, who managed Mr.

McAdoo's campaign in the last Democratic convention, says: a Democrat will surely be elected in 1928. He thinks well of Governor Smith of New York, calling him "the outstanding political figure of our time," but says Smith can not be elected "because he would have to sell Tammany hall to the country along with Smith." There is just one thing that might elect a Democrat in 1928, and that is too much world court and League of Nations foolishness. Nothing else could do it, except hard times and a panic, and there won't be either. The Princess Murat is selling fine dresses for a living. Her friends weep for her but need not weep.

Her fate would be described by Abraham Lincoln Erlanger as "fifty-fifty." Having spent the first part of her life buying and wearing expensive dresses, she will spend the second part selling them to ladies that still have their money. The princess will find more real interest in salesmanship than in merely wearing fine feathers. The fox that catches a peacock has a more life than the peacock its tail interestins, feathers in the sunshine. A Thibetan lady named RinChan Lha-Mo says "Western women are not good looking," meaning Americans, English, French, etc. The lady says our women's noses and ears are too big; noses like kettle spouts, ears like pigs' ears, eyes a silly blue like children's marbles, eye sockets too deep, eyebrows too much like those of monkeys.

This criticism of our lovely females will amaze you, especially if you have ever seen a Thibetan lady, with nose flat, eyes on the outside of her face, etc. "Such and so various are the tastes of men," or as Lady Lister Kaye said concerning a recent marriage in Paris, and quoting a famous Frenchman: "Tous les gouts sont dans la nature." If Europe multiplies her combinations in rubber, steel, shuting out poor little America and making us pay high prices, body will have to write a national sob anthem for the United States. Secretary Hoover, first to shriek with alarm when Britain made us pay more for rubber, says he doesn't believe the United States will be included in the great European steel trust. They will buy from each other and shut us out. That is Lad, but we have a tariff and might do a little shutting out on our own account.

The principal American Steel stocks went up yesterday in spite of the trust. Europe may have the trust, but we have the money. In old age, as their hold on life becomes feeble, men turn to another world and future life. Sir Oliver Lodge, a scientist and an old man, is criticized by fellow members of the Royal Society because of his belief in spiritualism. In a dignified reply Sir Oliver offers to resign from the society, if his presence there is not wanted.

Instead of criticizing him, his fellow scientists should respect his belief that supplies consolation. Perhaps, when all the scientists of the Royal Society die and meet Sir Oliver Lodge somewhere else, they will know that his ideas were as near the truth as their own. Churchill, chancellor of the British exchequer, says Europe's troubles are due to this selfish, grasping country. We shall grow richer, he says, "as gold is drawn in an unbroken stream across the Atlantic from the devastated and war-sricken countries of Europe to this wealthy, prosperous and great republic." That's sad, but Europe didn't say anything about it when she was borrowing the money. And Churchill ought not to feel badly.

His family has been drawso ing gold "in an unbroken stream" across the Atlantic in the other direction ever since he was born. His father married Miss Jerome, daughter of a rich American stock broker. European international trusts will help out a little. The British rubber trust, if it lasts, will make enough money from America to pay the British war debt. While certain Protestant organizations in the United States seem to dread science and its teachings as the devil is supposed to fear holy water, the Catholic church sees in science no menace.

Pope Pius, in a public address, after reading a decree establishing miracles performed by the venerable Fournet, declared emphatically that "science, instead of denying miracles, a8 many through ignorance believe, sets them off in an ever clearer light and by ever more convincing proof."

SATURDAY MORNING. MARCH 27, 1926. 10 Daily Cents by Per SENATE CONFIRMS SHORTRIDGE TILT 5 DEMORALIZING, CIVIC CLUBS SAY Controversy Tending to Produce Distrust in School Management, Contends Federation Members. CHANGE IS CONDEMNED Majority Faction of Board Is Scored for Accepted Latest Site. The present controversy over changing the site of Shortridge high school was termed "extremely unfortunate' in a resolution adopted last night by the Federation of Community Civic Clubs, meeting at the Chamber of Commerce.

It was declared in the resolution that the controversy is having a demoralizing effect on the public school system and is tending to produce distrust over management of school affairs. Additional support to the Thirtyfourth street site was given at a meeting held at the same time at the North Park Christian Church, when North side citizens scored the majority faction of the school board for changing to the Forty-sixth street site. The meetings occurred on the eve of a hearing on a temporary injunction to restrain the board from changing the site from Thirty-fourth street to Fortysixth street, which will open in Superior court, Room 3, at 9 o'clock this morning. Judge Sidney S. Miller will preside.

CONDEMNS DISPUTES. Factional disputes on the part of school board members among themselves and with patrons of the high school were scored in the Civic Federation's resolution. The advisability of changing the present site for the building was discussed, some members of the club advocating retention of the Thirty-fourth street location and a few favoring the proposed street site. All officers the ensuing year were Port or re-elected after the discussion. They are A.

LeRoy Portteus, president: John P. Harris, vice president; Mrs. J. D. Hoss, second vice president, and John F.

White, Frank E. careta, president of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board, addressed the club on "What I Should Know in Buying a Home." The resolution on the Shortridge situation follows: Federation of Community Civic Clubs look upon the present controversy over the location of Shortridge high school as extremely unfortunate, and as tending to breed further distrust and anxiety over the management of public school affairs. While it is our opinion that it was unwise to reopen a closed question, such as related to the relocation of Shortridge high school, an action to which no dissent appeared at the time, if it should now happen that the school board should finally decide to overthrow this act by the former board and make the proposed change, it is equally important that the final settlement should be accomplished with the least possi- friction to the community. FLAYS BOARD. "It seems apparent to the federation that the long drawn out faction controversies in school affairs, both within the board and on the outside, are having an evil influence on the general morale of the schools--affecting the teaching force as well as the pupilswith the children seeing school officials and their elders indulging in bitter factional disputes that have the result of confusing educational programs and of delaying vitally needed housing and other improvements It is a bad precept, a credit neither to officials nor our citizenship.

If we are to get back to a solid respect for the honesty and the good intent of school officials there must be a discarding of the rule by CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO. MAJ. GEN. JESSE M.

Elliott, Cyclops, Blames Politics-Will Stick to Post. George S. Elliott, exalted cyclops of the Marion county Ku Klux Klan, at a meeting of the organization in the community building of the East Tenth Street Methodist Church last night, announced he had been requested to resign by Charles J.

Orbison, national 1 vice president of the Klan, and by W. Lee Smith, grand dragon of Indiana. Elliott, it was said, told the members of the organization, he had refused to resign. He said that the demand that he resign came originally from Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard of: the Klan, through the request of George V.

With the government's official check of $300,000 stock of W. P. Squibb Co. liquors completed, local Federal officials last night were as completely in the dark as ever regarding the basis for charges that 350 cases of the whisky are missing. The liquor has been stored in the basement of the Federal building here since 1923, and is the center of a controversy opened on the floor of Congress by Representative F.

H. LaGuardia of New York, who charged that much of the liquor is missing. A. J. Signaigo, an examiner for the Department of Justice, who conducted the inventory of the liquor stock, refused to make any statement on amount of liquor he found in his offcial count of the stock.

WOODLOCK NEW TELEPHONE RATES HINGE ON CITY SCHEDULES Decision by Service Board on Order.

Written by S. R. Artman Is Expected Monday. LARGER CITIES AFFECTED Unlimited Increase Would Be $2 a Month-40 Exchanges Involved. Adoption of a new rate and valuation order affecting the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, the major points of which have been accepted, depends now on a decision on specific rate schedules for larger cities, including new measured service charges for Indianapolis business phones, it was disyesterday by members of the public service commission.

After a lengthy session, the mission adjourned until 2:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, when it is expected the new rate schedules will be adopted. order, presented to the commission Samuel R. Artman, fixes $35,500,000 as a fair value on the property of the phone company. The increased schedule of rates, affecting, about forty of the sixty-five Bell exchanges in the state, is based on EL 6 per return on the fair value. The order also would establish a depreciation rate of per cent.

While members of the commission were said to be agreed on the proposal to increase rates on unlimited business service in Indianapolis from $12 to $14 a month, proposed changes in rates for measured service were not deflnitely approved. In its petition, the Bell Telephone Company asked authority to increase charges for measured service mately one-half cent a.

message. The proposal measured service applies only to Indianapolis. The importance of the measured service rate, it is pointed out, is in the fact that if unlimited service rates are raised without change in measured service, present users of the unlimited service would adopt the measured service, with a consequent reduction in expected revenue. The order now before the commission does not affect any other classes of service in Indianapolis. Increases in various classes of business telephone service are cities, provided including in Evans- most larger, In most cases in which increases are prosoped in realdence rates, the proposed increase is 25 cents a month.

In the larger cities outside of Indianapolis, residence phone rate increases, it is said, will affect 8. minority of subscribers. The order as prepared by Mr. Artman, it is understood, incorporates the major recommendations of Arthur L. Gilliom, attorney general, and Taylor E.

Gronninger, special counsel for the commission, made in their closing arguments before the commission in January. Both recommended that the commission fix 8. rate of return of 6 per cent on the company's actual investment in property of $35,500,000 and that the annual depreciation charge be fixed at per cent. The adoption of the order now before the commission will end statewide investigation of rates and service started by the commission itself more than a year ago. Following the start of the investigation, the company Aled Its petition for increased rates.

Both matters were made the subject of a hearing in November and December. CONTENTION OF COMPANY. At the hearing the company asked for a return of between 7 and per cent on an estimated fair value of $45,000,000, and rate increases which would yield an annual increase of about $628,000. Edward W. Bemis, special engineer for the public commission, held for fair valuation of $29,000,000.

The order as written, it appears, is based on the belief that no valuation materially lower than that fixed in 1924 by the Federal court would be tenable, and accounts for increase in valuation proposed. In the Federal case Judge Page indicated a valuation in excess of $35,000,000. BEVERIDGE WILL SPEAK IN SHELBYVILLE APRIL 11 SHELBYVILLE, March Albert J.

Webb Sparks, secretary of the fine arts committee of the Chamber of Commerce, was adopted by the general program committee at a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, noon, committee will recommend ital adoption by the fine arts committee at an early meeting. The plan a8 presented will take effect next year. Mr. Sparks's contest plan would enable practically county in the state to be represented in the state contest which is held here. EACH COUNTY REPRESENTED.

The plan consists of intercounty contests among the various high schools in each county, thus furnishing a sectional winner which would participate in the state contest. Under this plan, Mr. Sparks pointed out, it would be possible for each county to be represented, because different musical organizations in each school would participate in the sectional contesta. J.

In discussing his proposal Mr. Sparks said: "Under the plan every high school in the state of Indiana can be drawn into a sectional music contest at which winners in every district in the state can be selected. These regionals will develop community interest which we never can hope to create under our present plan.

March After a Ave-hour battle behind closed doors the Senate today confirmed Thomas F. Woodlock of New York as a member of the interstate commerce commission by a vote of 52 to 25. The size of the majority astonished even the friends of Woodlock.

It was -accomplished by a combination 1 of Democratic and Republican regulars. The action ended a struggle of more than a year between the Senate and the President, who had insisted upon confirmation over opposition of Democrate and some Republicans. The roll call on the decision was not made public. Mr. Woodlock's name was first presented at the last session, but no action was taken.

After adjournment he given a recess appointment, under was which he has been serving since. Chief objection of Woodlock, whose home is in New York, had been based on the contention that he was not qualified to represent the viewpoint of shippers because of previous service as director of railroad corporations. Opponents also urged in presidential elections for a number of years he had voted the Republican ticket, although he was nominated to the commission as a Democrat. OPPOSITION GROWS. A few weeks ago opposition to Woodlock had gained such proportions that Republican leaders advised the President to withdraw his name.

This was not done, however, and shortly afterward the Senate interstate commerce committee reported adversely on the nomination. A poll of the Senate then showed a small majority against confirmation. From then on developments followed rapidly. The nomination of Richard V. Taylor of Alabama as a member of the commission softened the opposition of Southern senators to Woodlock, and the recent announcement from the White House that Pennsylvania, the South and the Southwest would be given consideration in Alling vacancies removed further opposition based on grounds of sectional representation.

Senator Reed (Republican, Pennsylvania), who had opposed Woodlock because Pennsylvania, with its huge railroad traffic, was not given representation, lined up after this announcement with the forces for confirmation, and they were further augmented when Senator Robinson, Arkansas, the Democratic leader, indorsed him. At the executive session today, Chairman Watson of the interstate commerce committee arose to Woodlock's defense and fought it out with the opponents all through the session. Senator Wheeler (Democrat, Montana), who acted as prosecutor of Woodlock at the committee hearing, charged that the appointee was not a Democrat and was unfitted to serve on the commission because of his 88- sociation with Wall street. He was supported by Senators Walsh (Democrat, Montana), Mayfield (Democrat, Texas), and others. Supporters of Woodlock in the main remained silent during the discussion, and up until the very hour of a vote leaders of the opposition believed they had won a victory.

After a heated discussion of the subJect, the Senate decided, just before the vote, that the roll call should not said he did not keep any count liquor and had no knowledge of the number of cases now held by the government in the Indianapolis Federal building. AWAIT MANDATE. While they were marking time pending the completion of the government inventory, officials here were awaiting yesterday, also, receipt of a mandate from the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago, for the destruction of the Squibb liquor.
