Don’t quit boosting for the Decatur Athletic club. It's the biggest project of the hour though it may not seem so to you. You can help build for the future by helping in this movement. If it saves the young men of the community, it is a thousand times more than it costs. Help do it. The decision of Judge Killets of the I fereral court at Toledo tomorrow means much to this city It is believed he will allow the appropriation necessary to move the division to Decatur and it is said the change means a number of men will move here, it means a substantial growth in population and we can’t afford to pass it up. Our business men should get up on their toes and not let this opportunity pass. Building permits taken out in Fort Wayne for the month of March reach a total of more than $77,000 in excess of the figures for March of last year, and they are for the most part for residences and the smaller type of business buildings. There could scarcely be a more accurate indication of healthy growth and progress shown by any city than is depicted in eloquent figures of this sort. —Fort Wayne Sentinel No nor a more accurate indication of the times in general. Tiie same condition, is proportionately true ia other cities large and small and the general conditions are far better than the average spring of the pa-t (jecade.

PLACES BLAME IAttorney Orbison Accuses Chief of Police Holler for the f 'AT TERRE HAUTE Says Mayor Roberts Was Victim of Frame-up by , Police Department. i Indianapolis, Ind.. April 2—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Judge Chas. Orbinson, representing three of the twenty-eight defendants in the Terre . Haute trial, indicated the plea to be made by the defense today, when at the close of his address to the jury he cast all blame for the conditions at Terre Haute on the shoulders of Chief of Police Holler and Night Chief Jack Nugent. Holler and Nu- j gent turned government evidence against Mayor Roberts. Orbisor. was the first of the defence's lawyers to speak. “1 am aware that coitaltions in Terre Haute for years have breeded a set of gamblers and saloon keepers and others with no respect for morality and citizenship,” said Orbinson. "I agree with the court when he said this trial will have a stlutory effect on the matter of giving money to campaign funds. ■ say that such funds should be given only in such proportions as would insure legitimate use in the campaign.” o FLOTILLA O FSUBMARiNES. (By Ed Keene) London, April 2 —(Special to Daily Democrat > —A whole flotilla o 1 submarines is now menacing North .sea shipping. While destroyers were sweeping the English channels for the under-sea /aiders, four ships have been torpedoed and sunk in the North sea. It is feared a number of lives have been lost. Three small trawlers have been sunk off the mouth of t Tyne by the German submarine U-10, according to New Castle dispatches. The crews were rescued and treated with the utmost consideration. The commander of tlie L-10 passed them to cigars and coffee and then sank

their vessel. The submarine commander told them that he was ordered to “sink everything afloat." The Norwegian sailing vessel Nor was torpedoed by the U-20 off the coast of Holland yesterday. Her crew of twelve was landed at the Hook of Holland today. A dispatch from Rotterdam said that Dutch skippers reported sighting several German submarines within a few.miles of each other patroling the North sea. For the past week the Germans have confined their activities almost exclusively to the English channel. Admiralty officials believe the Germans now plan to i Tighten English skippers by delivering simultaneous attacks. ■I r.ble construct.- n k:-h. ... a-• Li u j jxam ■ building at no greater cost T’VrTiWiVTrn than othera a~k.
