THIRD MOVE IN CONGRESS FOR MITCHELL MADE l Resolutions Ask Coolidge to Lift Suspension and Restore Rank. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. - T A i resolution to ask President Coolidge to modify the five-year suspension Imposed on Col. William Mitchell by the Jury of generals which tried him for misconduct, because he criticised the Administration of the War and Navy Departments as “almost treasonable” was introduced In tho House today by Representative Mack, New York, Democrat. The resolution also asks the Fresl- ; dent to restore Mitchell to “his proper rank with its proper pay and all other emoluments,” The colonel , once was a. brigadier general and held the post of assistant chief of Array air service. “Got Him Double Quick 1 " First reference to the courtmartial on the floor of Congress, was made in the House by Repre- . tentative Tillman. Arkansas, Demoi crat, who charged that the sentence 1 was an “insult to free America.” Tillman charged that the courti martial was convened to “get ! Mitchell." “This spurred and booted Inquisition *got him’,” Tillman said, in “double quick time." "Granite-Soulcd" Cal “I call upon the granite-faced-granite-souled President of this justice-loving nation," Tillman declared “to mitigate or squash this harsh sentence. In the season of i good will the chief executive of the , people who love free speech and I hate tyranny, .should intervene and I win do so, I believe, to right the i wrong." “The President fortunately has intestinal strength of a rare order and the people look to the com-mander-in-chief to mitigate this drastic Judgment.” Third Move Black’s resolution said the punishment recommended by the courtmartial “is too severe.” It is the third similar resolution before the House. One, offered by Representative Blanton, Texas, asks MJtchell be restored “to his proper rank” and that Maj. Gen. Patrick Nolan and Brig.

“Law’s On, No Intoxicating Liquor Served,” Is Word Passed Around in Black and Tan Belt Following Orders to Keep Out White Persons. “The law’s on the Avenoo tonight boys, no intoxicating liquor served,” was the word Friday night in the black and tan belt of Indiana Ave. following orders of Police Chief liikhoff to keep white persons ont of colored cases and cabarets.

Rikhoff’s order followed the crash at Indiana Ave. and Illinois St., early Friday in which Norman O. Barthel, 20, of 140 E. Wabash St., was killed and three other persons seriously injured. The party was coming from the Hollywood case, 532 Indiana Ave., it was said. Many cases and cabarets refused to serve white persons and uniformed police patrolled the vicinity ordering all white persons to leave cases under penalty of being “locked up.” The Hollywood Case was deserted, with the exception of a handfull of colored patrons and the colored "shouter” singing mammy songs. No liquor was served and the manager was extremely reluctant to help guests obtain the forbidden beverage. The Pastime Case, Michigan St, and Indiana Are, closed at an early hour. Prosecutor William 11. Remy today said he was surprised to learn that the Hollywood Case was operating. He said the Golden West poolroom, associated with the Golden West Case, the predecessor of the Hollywood place, had been operating under bond since the John Thomas Shaw murder trial, more than a year ago. Owned by Politician The Hollywood Case, is said owned by Harry “Goosle" Lee, colored politician, convicted two years ago on a gambling charge. George “Gamie" Abrams manages the place, which opens only at night. The Hollywood formerly was the Golden West Cabaret, under fire during the Jewett administration because it was kept open all night. Police, saying they were unable to stop the all-night program because no one complained of the place being a nuisance, cautioned the management about allowing white women and men to frequent the cabaret. Archie (Joker) Young, manager of the Golden West, barred white people and police chased them off the Avenue. Early this administration a captain was detailed to cover Indiana Ave., from Illinois St. to West St., and north from there In sections where cabaretß and gamtiling places were suspicioned. Capt.

SCARLET FEVER LEADS; Scarlet fever continued last week to lead the list of contagious diseases which have been sweeping the State, 216 cases being reported, according to the State board of health’s morbidity report. Other disease: Chickenpox, sixty cases; smallpox, twenty-three cases; whooping cough, twenty-eight cases; diphtheria, fortynine cases, and influenza, twentyfour cases.

bert Fletcher and John White were those assigned, after three society women and three men were arrested on the avenue. White persons were ordered to stay out of the district, and It was ordered that all clubs should be above the ground floor. llub Started t Young closed the Golden West Cabaret and started a club, raided several times for alleged gambling. Young later reopened the cabaret as the Hollywood Case, but sold out to Lee. Since May white persons have been frequenting the place. About a year ago one captain covering the district was assigned to a place In the mayor’s office. An inspector was reduced and another capitain took his place. Captain Fletcher was moved to Inside work at police headquarters. Since then the Avenue has been “going strong" until last month, when IJeut. Fred Winkler was sent to the west division. Winkler closed In on the white persons on Indiana Ave., and suddenly, without reason, was changed and assigned to the east division. Other places In the Indiana Ave. district have been under police surveillance, and have been visited frequently.

That was the tribute today of chums who were with him Friday, when they begged a “lift” from Eugene Ellmore. 1132 Central Ave., after school.. Kenneth, riding on the running board, was knocked off when the auto swerved against a street car at New York and Alabama Sts. and died beneath the wheels of the trolley. “Get in, kids. I’l stay on the outside,” Kenneth called cheerfully to his companions. “You can’t all get In,” Elmore had protested, so Kenneth stayed outside on the running board, finding an insecure hand-hold with cold, ungloved hands.

COURT ACTION ON STATE ROAD CHARGES URGED Few Assembly Members See Necessity for Special Legislative Call. Most Oeneral Assembly members doubt necessity for a special session of the body to Investigate the highway commission, but favor court action on indictments returned, The Indianapolis Times discovered in a symposium in which fifty-one replies have been received. However, seventeen legislators expressed approval or confidence in the commission’s achievements and only thirteen seemed to be against the body. Twenty-one aie on the fence "• Only seven lawmakers believe a special session should be held, and forty-one are against It. Three are noncommittal. Enthusiastic Approval Enthusiastic approval of the Commission is expressed by Representative L. C. Garter. Salem, who writes “because of the splendid work being done under the present Commission, because anew organization would not be familiar with the many phases of the construction and maintenance of the highways, no doubt making many mistakes the present Commission would avoid, I consider it would be a needless expense on the taxpayers to convene the Legislature for this purpose.’’ Senator Edward O’Rourke, Ft. Wayne, believes the legislators should wait until the next session and adopt a resolution that will enable investigation of matters In State departments without incurring expense of a special session. Sees Party Split “If I were a Democrat I would favor the special session, as It would surely split the Republican party,” declared Representative I. H. Hull. Hanna, sponsor of the cooperative marketing bill. Representative Claremont R. Smith. Indianapolis, believes the courts will act In time and clarify the situation. Amid the plain groves of St. Petersburg, Fla., Senator J. Monroe Fitch, Muncie, writes he Is out of touch with conditions. MAN INVENTS COMPRESSED AIRJNGINE Motor Runs With Fifteen Pounds Pressure and Less. Bu NEA Service DECATUR, 111., Dec. 19.—Lewis C. Kiser. 70, Inventor, has built a compressed alrmotor which he claims will replace our present gasoline engines for automobile use. The engine has been tested out on autom miles and found to run with fifteen and ever less pounds of pressure. The compressed air Is carried in a tank which holds 200 pounds pressure. An automobile with such an engine will run 100 miles an hour without diminishing the air pressure, says Kiser. The construction of the motor provides for compressed air to be forced Into the tank from the exhaust. mi The principle on which the compressed air motor works is similar to that of a steam engine. The cost of propulsion Is said to be practically nothing. Klsor’s plans for the development of the compressed air motor do not limit the machine to automobile use. He Is going to Introduce the engine for airplane use. With a slide valve and a rotary motion, this motor, says Kiser, will allow airplanes to make landings and ascensions from a limited space. An airplane of this nature will make an Ideal mall ship and If his Invention is practical and satisfactory It will probably be taken up by postal authorities. Kiser has received offers pt royalties for the use of his Invention, but has refused them as being too small In comparison with the demonstration of the motor’s value.

Order to Stay Rikhoff said he could not rescind the order as it had been made by the board of safety and therefore was out of his Jurisdiction. He and members of the accident prevention bureau could not recall any serious accident on Meridian St., from speeding. What few accidents occurred are due largely to failure of stop and go signals to operate properly, they said. Police said the accident which cost the life of Miss Ethelyn Keith and the injury of three other teachers at Michigan and Meridian Sts., Thursday night, was due to a dispute over whether another auto had the right-of-way.

Sergeant Owens said. “The motorcycle men will work twelve hours a day until we have this speed craze curbed. I expect to drive my men until the chief is well satisfied that traffic in Indianapolis is moving slow. Drivers who are caught doing more than forty miles an hour or driving over the speed limit in a reckless or careless manner will be sent to city prison In the patrol wagon and made to give bond. The others will be released on their own recognizance and ordered into court. Hampered in Drive "The only thing that is hamper-' ing me in my drive is that I have little to work with.

Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—Use of the Navy to prevent rum smuggling was demanded today by the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church in a fourteen-plank platform for prohibition enforcement.
