INDIANAPOLIS STMTS NEW ARMORY PROJECT
Business Men Launch Plan—Will Hold Military Fete At the Speedway.
By Willis S. Thompson.
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 5.—The business men of Indianapolis, acting through their Ave strongest organizations, have decided, to build an armory at Indianapolis for the Indiana national guard. It will probably coat between $300,000 and $500,000. Daily meetings are being held in completion of the plans. Within a week the In dianapolis armory building association or some similarly styled body will be completed, and be very busy.
The 1915 legislature appropriated $20,000, to be used by some city that would give an equal amount to build an armory, title and management to rest in the state. Indianapolis wishes to let some other city have this $20,000. The capital city business men will make their investment without state aid.
The new armory will probably be of sufficient capacity to accommodate ft full regiment of infantry, one battery of artillery, one signal corps and one fteld hospital company. As starter in the work, to stir the public interest and also raise a part of the money, Carl G. Fisher has proffered free use of the speedway for holding a military tournament during state fair week. Two thousand enlisted men will participate and regular army officials will assist in the program.
State Guard Sound.
The building of the armory will be done by subscription. The project is In the hands of men like Carl G. Fisher who are distinguished for accomplishing things. The building of the armory is prompted by the excellent wcyk of Adjutant General Franklin Li. Bridges and is in recognition of the splendid results he has accomplished! In the fact of unjust newspaper attacks and criticism, General Bridges has elevated the, Indiana national guard from the deplorable condition in which many years of bad management had left it, to where an officer of the United States army told the Indianapolis business men "the Washington authorities now look upon the Indiana national guard as one of the very best in the whole country."
When General Bridges took charge of the National guard under appointment by Governor Ralston he found but five companies rated as "good" under the "militia" standard. Today he has over 2,800 men enlisted and holding their own under the standard set by the regular army. The present encamptiient is the "most succesful ever held in the state.
LASSEN ONLY A CURIOSITY.
U. S. Expert Says It Never Wl|l Amount to Menace. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5—The recent great eruptions of Lassen peak, California, spent the energy of the old volcano. This is the conclusion of J. S. Diller, of the geological survey, who has just completed a study of the peak in co-operation with officials of the forest service.
In a report to the geological survey Mr. Diller expresses the belief that while the mountain doubtless will continue to be an active volcanic curiosity it will not develop into a devastating menace.

FIRST MOHAN KRIETENSTEIN'S VISITS OLD raw
Mr*. Laura Holtsdweider, Former Terre Hantaan, Returns From Colorado for Vi»it
Colorado's first alder wo'nian under the act of 1893, which gave women the right to vote in that state, was a visitor Thursday in Terre Haute. She is Mrs. Laura Holtschneider, of Buena Vista, Col., formerly Miss Laura Combs, of Terre Haute. She is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Noller, 2412 Locust street. "I have a warm spot in my heart for Terre Haute" said Mrs. Holtschneider, who carries her 66 years with grace. "My father, Joseph Combs, lived at Eleventh and Mulberry streets and I attended the old Bennie Hays seminary, now the site of the Indiana State Normal, and the convent which is now St. Joseph's academy. But the city has changed wonderfully since then."
Mrs. Holtschneider believes In women's rights. She is now writing a book of her experiences in municipal life in Colorado. During the struggle of the women there she was thrown In Jail.
Urges Women to Help.
"It is the woman's place to help the men clean up Terre Haute," she said. "The women can help by fighting for good sanitary laws. About the first thing I did wht,n I arrived here was! to call up the board of health and make a complaint against the insanitary condition of the interurban waiting station. The man who answered the telephone said I should call up the secretary. I told him that ho was in that work and it was up to him to take some action. "It was sort of an accident the way I was elected an alderman. "We found that the men were in caucus to make up a slate for the election and we broke up the caucus and they put my name on the slate. "I'm -not the kind of a fighter for women's rights that forgets her household duties. I can still sew on buttons and mend socks. I am a grandmother, too. My granddaughter is learning to be an architect and designer."
Mrs.. Holtschneider says she intends to spend the balance of her life in encouraging women- to assist in municipal affairs.. She has served on the executive committee of the Colorado state board of charities for a number of years and is interested in the work of reforming criminals.

trust companies here and ascertain the financial standing of the persons offered a8 surety on the bond, and if it had been ascertained to be sufficient he would have approved the bond as offered. This was rendered unnecessary, however, by the compromise reacshed after the all day's conference.
It is understood that John J. Shea, Jr., wap really at heart willing to be relieved of the responsibilities or an office which he did not seek, ana tor which he had no desire, and which he took under unusual circumstances to protect the interests of his brother. His duties as manager of the Terre Haute Oil and Coal Co. are onerous, and demanded much of his time, and while he had a most reliable man in charge of the office, Gus Blschoff, there was a responsibility attached to the office that was a constant cause of worry. Had he appealed the case he would have been responsible in the end for the salary and emoluments of the office for the entire two years, and in the end, had the higher court sustained the decision of Judge Sunkel, it would have been disastrous to nave been oompelled to turn this ..over to Krietenstein. 7

Meant/Long Fight.
The Supreme Court Is far behind in its work, and it was fourteen months before a decision was reached in the Huffman case. Had it required as much time to reach a decision in the contest case Shea's term would have been within a few months of an en^, and to have rendered the service for so long and t^en be compelled to do the work for nothing and turn the salary and other perquisites of the office over to Krietenstein would have been calamitous. These facts were all considered in arriving at the decision to drop the appeal proceedings, and It was believed that the action taken waa for the best interests of all concerned.

Shea 8ees Deputies.
Sheriff John Shea held a conference Thursday morning with four of his deputies, Bert McDonald being the only member of the force absent, but the nature of the conference was not given out. It was held behind locked doors, but it is supposed that Shea toid his helpers the status of affairs and the fact that he did not intend appealing the case.
John Shea said after the meeting with his deputies: "The matter Was settled by agreement offered by Attorney Jacob White, representing Mr. Krietenstein. The appeal is dropped, Mr. Krietenstein, becomes sheriff without further contest he agrees to pay all of the costs in Parke county and the salary and emoluments of the office from the first of the term, last January, until today, are to remain with me withbut contest."
Under the compromise of the case Krietenstein will pay court costs, including witness and deposition fees, in the sum of $242. Shea will pay 18.80 oourt costs in Vigo county and (12 costs In Parke county.
Commission Issued.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 5.—George W. Krietenstein (repn.) today was given a commission as sheriff of Vigo county by Gov. Ralston. This action followed the withdrawal late yesterday of the appeal of John J. Shea, Jr., (dem.) from the decision of Judge Sunkel, of the Parke circuit court that the office belonged to Krietenstein and not Shea.
John J. Shea was appointed to the office when his brother, Dennis Shea, who was convicted in the federal court here In the Terre Haute election case, resigned as sheriff, to which office he was elected in November, 1914.

CITY CAN GET $40,000 ARMORY BY RAISING HALF OF COST
Act of Last Legislature Gives Money to Municipality Which Will Donate $20,000 Toward Building.
Under an act passed by the last legislature, Terre Haute has the opportunity to procure $'20,000 from the state for a $40,000 armory if half of the oost of the proposed building is raised by the city. Those interested in' publio buildings Thursday said some efforts would be made to give the city the benefit of this act.
It is argued by those who are anxious to see such a building in the city that it would provide the long felt need of a building large enougn to accommodate big conventions. Pride in the local company of the Indiana national guard also would be greatly encouraged by such a building, it was pointed out. "Terre Haute has the chance to get a public building and we should carefully consider the matter," said E. H. Clifford, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. "We have pride in Company and such a building is needed."

BARR CLAIMS SOMEONE HAS HIM
Continued From Page One.
Dr. Joseph EYisz and Whitemari, who Is said to have made most of the complaints against Barr.
According to County Attorney Batt Thursday, no formal charges have been made in writing against Barr.
One of the charges against Barr is that he wanted a night nurse at the farm and without waiting for authority from the board of commissioners, he employed a man paying him $10 a month, adding the amount to the pay of another employee.
Wallace's Statement.-
James Barr said, later Thursday In regard to charges that he had mismanaged the poor farm: "An investigation will show that the crops have been more fruitful and the stock has been kept in better shape since I have oeen in charge than ever before. Why, we had an average of nearly 40 bushels of wheat to the acre this year and there has hardly been a month that I have not sold some stock at a good profit."
County Auditor Wallace seemed Incensed at the charges which had been made against Barr and said: "He is the only superintendent we have ever had at "the poor "farm since I have been in the auditor's office woh was prompt in making his accountings to this office* It IS unusual that he .should be charged With the faults of his hired help when he was Ignorant of their transgressions. If I were in the same position I would stand trial and make them prove their charges agalhst me."
Barr alleges that he discharged his houseman and clerk,. John A. Whiteman, because the latter wanted to put whiBkey on the drug list at the poor farm. Whiteman is one of the men who is said to have made charges against Barr.
Late Thursday M. A. Lanahan, representing the u. S. Chemical company, of Greenville, O., appeared at the commissioners' office. He would not admit that he was here to be a witness. Barr was accused of purchasing quantities of disinfectant In order to procure a premium.

UPHOLDS SEAMEN'S ACT.
Secretary Wilson Likens It to Deetiration of Independence. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Aug. 5.— W. B. Wilson, secretary of labor, In an address here last night before the convention of the International Seamans union, placed the seaman's act on a par with the Magna ChArta, declaration of independence, constitution of the U. S. and emancipation proclamation. "It means the freedom of all seamen," said he, "on a ship of every nationality trading with U. S. ports. It is absurd to believe that act will drive American ships from the sea. 'In effeet it will place ship owners of nationalities on an equal lty as the foreign seamen will not be long in demanding the same privileges th6,t the bill gives to the seamen of this country."'
