POLICE ASK A NIGHT

OFT IN EACH

Have Petition Prepared to Present to Chief and Board oi Safety.

v A

J1-..

petition "^trcul.aiT and signed by

a majority of the members of the police department, asking that they be granted one night each week off duty, will be presented to Chief of Police Jack Beattie and the board of public safety some time this week. The petltion originated by the night force for the month of July, has already been signed b- nearly every member of ths department.

In the petition the policemen tusk that they he granted one night each week off duty that they may uc witn i their families. According to present custom they are required to work .seven nights ea/?h week, and in maty instances are called into afternoon -i"®'.sessions of City Court twice each weak to appear as witnesses against prisV oners arrested at night. When interviewed on the subject Wednesday morning. Chief Beattie said that he V had heard nothing of the petition, but *. that it would he a good thing if the gfc patrolmen were granted one night each week to spend with their families. & The -"nen *»y thst public sentiment V favors the plan. The trend of all publie and private employment is for less onerous conditions and, too, it is said "t that the police department now is r. large for a city of this size and that the men can be readily spared without the encouragement of crime or law riolatlons. Too, the recent grant of such a respite to the firemen suggests that the police be given the same treatmenu

UNIVERSAL HOSE COUPLINGS.

Chief Evtnger Says There Would Be One or Two Objection*. ("The adoption of a standard fire hose coupling throughout the state would be an excellent thing, and I would be mighty glad to see it brought about._but it will be a hard thing to do," said Fire Chief Carl Evinger, when asked concerning the proposition of having legislation adopted calling for the use of a standard fire hose coupling by all fire companies of Indiana. "There I* a« emergency coupling device manufactured by several different manufacturers, one enti of which will fit the coupling on the hose of the city for which It is intended, and the other end being provided with a clamping device which will take hpld of any coupling that is used on & two and one-half Inch hose. I have often thought that three or four of these should be purchased and kept at headquarters for use in a possible emergency. With these we could couple onto hose from Indianapolis or any other city. 'In making the change a standard ooupling this same device wouM n*ve to be used while the change was being gradually made, or else the cities would have to go to the epepense of purchasing all new couplings at once, and also changing all fire plugB This would cost a good deal of money, •'State legislation might also work *n injustice on the cities of Lake county—Crown Point, Gar#, Hammond, Bast Chicago, etc.. as these cities rely for help on the Chicago fire department, and would have to have couplings threaded to fit the Chicago standard.

TOO MANY SLACKERS

Physicians Slow to Enter War Service Says Council. "tKii'TAKAPOLIS, July 1?.-Steps which it, is said will make it incumbent on every doctor in Indiana to show reason why he has not made application for a commission in the medical officers' reserve corps, were taken at a meeting here today of ibe Indiana committee medical section, Council of national defense.

Although many Indiana physicians

rhave

entered the service, the relative standing of the state, it is said, has not been improved in spite of an energetic campaign by the committee. Each doctor will be asked to make out a bona fide report of the reasons for not applying for service.

WASHED THE LABELS OFF.

Chief of Police Jack Beattie can tell

you what camouflage means. The other day the bone-dry squad marie a quiet visit to a, roadhouse north of the city, it being reported that the old stuff was being sold. As they approached the Chief saw the bartender washing the labels off near-beer bottles in the yard.

Huns Crucify Canadian Soldiers

Wl^SpikesThrough Hands and Ankles

By Arnold Clark.

CrilCAGO, III., July 17.—Corporal James Irving Parker. a Chicagoan. who recently returned from the western front, where he drove an ammunition truck for the French army, but who now is an enlisted man in the United States signal corps, today related a thrilling story of German atrocities culminating in the crucifixion of fifteen Canadian soldiers.1 "We were moving* forward ftt the Chemin des Dames drive last October on the h?els of the fleeing Huns," said Corporal Parker* "A crowd of truck drivers was billeted for a few hours' sleep in a French chateau, which the Huns, in their flight, bad failed to destroy. v 'We were congratulating ourselves oh the excellence of our quarters when a poilu appeared and said in broken English, 'Americans, come with me.' "We followed him up a broad, winding staircase and entered a room that must have been thirty feet square. The atmosphere was tainted with the odor of putrefying human flesh, for on the walls of that room hung fifteen crucilied Canadian soldiers. Five hung on each of the three walls. "Their faces, lying on their breasts, just as you have seen them in pictures of Christ on the cross, wore the horrible, contorted look of men who had died

GERMAN MYSTERY GI)Nn« OUT

French Experts, Given Pieces Shell and Distance, Reduce the Mystery to Figures,

By Louis Chappelle.

PARIS, July 17.—At 8 a. m. on Saturday, March 23. shells from a mysterious source began to fall at intervals in the Quartier Saint Gervals of the Fourth Arrondissement of Paris. On that day ten persons were killed and a score wounded. The nearest point on the battlefront to the locality of detonation was sixty-two miies. As no cannon in history had ever been known to carry more than half that distance, the theory that the shells had been discharged from a great gun was at first dismissed by the public as impossible, although ordnance experts said that such a source of the shells was quite possible, and they furnished figures to prove their point the only observation they at first added was that such a gun would be almost immobile on account of fits size and weight.

Various speculations, some precluding the use of a gun, were indulged in. There was the theory of a "shell within a shell," i. e., that a great gun fires a shell a certain distance and that this shell then acts like a gun and discharges a a mailer shell forward. Rut this theory could be easily dismissed, as a gun, like any other ballistic instrument, needs a fulcrum, and the first shell when it discharged the second would have none.

Aerial Torpedo Theory.

Another* Idea was that of an aerial torpedo within a giant shell, 1. o* the shell at the extreme of its range discharges by a detonation a contained aerial torpedo, which then carries on by means of propollers driven b,v a motor contained in the torpedo. This theory was demolished by the fragments of the shells found. Then there was the belief, soon dissipated, that as the shells continued day after day to drop in the same quarter\that the projectiles had been dropped from an aeroplane maneuvering from a hitherto unattained altitude.

The gun theory, however, Anally prevailed. and a month ago experts were still demonstrating it when it fell to two ordnance officers, one French and the other Italian, to solve the problem of the great gun. The Frenchman worked out with the help of assistants placed at intervals along the first quarter of the range the ballistic properties of both gun and shell, while the Italian, with the data thus furnished and some fragments of shells, reconstructed both gun and projectile.

To use the latter*s own toOrds, there is nothing extraordinary about "La

Grande

Berthe." as the Parisians oall

the gun. "It is a variation not a novelty. It is a detail an old fact, not an unheard-of fact." jfE una variaaione. non una novita, K un particolare di un fat to vecctuo, .non ua fatto in&udito.)

Experiments Decade Ago. Tlrfct, however, it was necessary to disprove the existence of the "no\clty," of the "unheard-of fact."

It was well known to the exprrts t*«t ten years before the British war office had experimented with a' weapon invented by a Mr. Simpson "which," according to Col. F. N. Maudo in the Contemporary Review of April, .lf»08, "can impart bv the application ,f electricity an initial velocity of 3ft.000 feet a second to projectiles of all dimensions which can be practically handled under war conditions and on board ship or in permanent defenses." and he added that "1.000 pounds weight lies fairly within these limits." But the archives of the British war office proved that there wa* a hitch somewhere, for ths "new weapon" had never materialized.

The next thing to be proved nought was the existence of a. giant gun firing a giant shell, the dimensions or wflich, in order to account for the distance covered, should he in proportion to those of known caliber. Thl* point was dwelt upon at some length by the experts until the error of entertaining It wa,«s proved In a very simple manner—the size of the shell was found out of all proportion to the giant gun theory.

Since the days of Napoleon the effective range of a gun that can be brought into action has increased from 1.000 yards to 56.00J yards. The limits of range have been governed hy fa I mobility snd fb) traverse. 1. p.. the power to point the gun in different di-

a prolonged and agonizing death. Some of the bodies »had stiffened in the ghastly, twisted attitude they had held when death came to their relief. "There wfre thirteen American boys in our party. We thought we1 were hardened. At least, we had seen enough men mutilated by shells in every conceivable form to make us hardened to war scenes "But as 'we looker! at thai grim exhibit of kultur the tears began to roll down our cheeks and soon we were openly .sobbing. The poilu, who had probably already exhausted his lifetime allotment of tears, stood at salute with blazing eyes and set lips. "Four spikes to a man were used in the crucifixion, one through each hand and one through each ankle. The victims were thirteen privates and two officers, all in uniform. There were no wounds on the bodies of the men other than those made by the spikes."

A Canadian regiment had been placed at this point of the Chemin des Dames sector, about two weeks before to relieve the war-worn poilus. Corporal Parker explained, A few days before the drive, thirty of them had mysteriously disappeared,

Parker, who is home on two months' leave after being gassed, is the son of James J. Parker, a real estate broker at 69 West Washington street.

rectionSt. As for the rest the gunmaker can have his gun tube as strong as he likes, its explosive chamber as Dig as he likes, its buffers built In as he likes.

Now, the largest rifle which the Krupps have turned out is known to be a fifteen-inch gun, weighing ninetythree tons, with a sixty-three-fcot length of tube. Its shell weigh«s 1,#75 pounds, and its extreme range Is wenty-nine miles. The only known development of this rifle is the sixteonineh coast defense gun made by the United States government for the Panama canal forts. This fires a projectile weighing 2,100 pounds about thir-ty-two miles.

Held to

"Impossible^

ft fs thus easy to calculate tfcftt a further development in order to meet the known results of the gun firing on Paris would require a weapon from thirty to thirty-two inch caliber, weighing over 200 tons, with a tube 150 feet long, firing a. projectile weighing nearly five thousand pounds.

Such a gun was at once demonstrated to be "impossible," owing to the elements governing the limits of range as already noted—mobility and traverse. But the final fact that disposed of this type of gun was the caliber of the shells. The earlier reconstructions from fragments made them 240 millimeters, or 9.50 inches later they were proved to be 220 millimeters, or 8.77 inches.

Thus the experts, having disposed of the "novelty"' and tfhe "unheard-of fact." began to search for the "variation" and the "detail of an old fact."

First, the working hypothesis waa made use of that the shells came from a built-up gnn which had neither mobility nor traverse. It was finally approximately located by French aviators in the forest of St. Gobain, ten miies due east of Laon, about twelve miles behind the front, and seventyfour and one-quarter miles northeast of the Fourth arrondissement of Paris, where the shells at various intervals continued to fall.

STORMS HALT PLANES.

TWENTY CENT TAX MCREASE IS DISCUSSED

Continued From Page On*.

is operated, as $544,267.76. Bat outstanding indebtedness on bonds, street improvements, etc., the interest on which must be met out of the general fund, amounts to $717,228.05. Of this amount, $11 ,605.4J interest on bonds has been paid also $l,9t9.-- interest on street intersection certificates. This will leave the net amount of indebtedness to date $703,854.53. The estimated expense for the remainder of the year is $249,000, making the total of indebtedness and estimated expense $352,654.52.

Mr. Shepherd's opinion is that at the present rate of expenditure the amount of money on hand would last during the months of July, August and September. Then is when the city controller's office will begin to squirmmaybe. Because it will at that time be necessary to again have advances made on the November taxes in the sum of $117,000.00 for the last three months of 1918. Take this amount away from the taxes which should be about $193,000 and it will leave a balance, December 31, 1918, of about $76,000. "This,*r says the city controller, "will constitute our available funds with which to operate, except a small amount of miscellaneous receipts and lioenees, probably eight to ten thousand dollars, until the June settlement of taxes in 1919. If this system of drawing ahead should be continued, we will soon be without funds."

And now comes a recommendation which Mr. Shepherd declares that he hated to make, but which to his mind seemed the only way out: 'In view of the conditions as herein set out. I would recommend that the city, as soon as possible, arrange to sell $150,000 worth of bonds, and within the time legally specified this year, increase the tax levy an additional 20 or 25 cents per $100. The conditions will require this in order to put the city finances in a condition to meet its obligations."

But the increase in levy wouirt not be permanent unless something unexpected should arise, the city controller thinks. He says on the subject: "With the above arrangement, it might be possible after a year or so to reduce the tax rate again as next year the real estate of the city will be appraised which no doubt will be increased to some extent, which will in the natural course increase the income from taxes."

Taking up the matter of tax increase more fully, Mr. Shepherd said: "Twenty-five cents on the hundred dollars will raise $100,000 a yeax. We are short $115,000. There has already been a slight increase in tax assessment, bringing the income up to $25,000. Therefore, I believe a 20 per cent increase would be sufficient. It will take half a million dollars a ^car to run the city.1*

Reports of previous years' expenses showed that in 1917 $480,500 was spent in the city's operation and the year before, the amount was $420,000. "The half million," Mr. Shepherd said, "would keep the city in fine running order and leave a margin for street improvements and other things that th® city will need."

Now, you have the secrets of tTie city's purse: What do you think ought to be done about it?

SMASHED JEWELRY STORE WINDOWS ON WABASH AYE.

Lucius Saker Started to Collect Contents When Police Came,

Lucius Baker, one of the old timers who has greeted every city Judge for fifteen years, was again brought up, Wednesday, on a charge of burglary and intoxication. It is charged that I-aicius, while in an Intoxicated state, broke the windows from the Rosenfeld clothing store and the Fishman pawn shop, on Wabash avenue, and had started to appropriate the contents thereof, when apprehended. His case was continued. Lucius just returned a few days ago from the penal farm, where he has been stationed, on account of climbing a fire escape at the Keith hotel to ascertain, what his wife was doing in his absence.

Paul Buley, charged with vagrancy, who was picked up Tuesday night, as he unloaded from a C. & E. I. train at the Union station, was discharged by the court and asked to go to work. Buley told the court that he was twenty years old. He looked twenty-five, and equally as strong as many of the soldiers who are cracking away at the Hun "over there."

Lee Manly, charged with perpetrating a "gas" attack and a general bombing expedition in the neighborhood in which he resides, was discharged by the court. It was charged that he had started a general neighborhood fight some time ago and had been asked by the court to move hie chattels and possessions and himself from the vicinity. He reported that he had so done and was dismissed.

The case of Frank McGuire, another at-home fighter, was continued, Tt was charged that McCrtiire, who resides at First and Chestnut streets, went on a rampage Tuesday night and started to errtermtnatje his wife by beatfng her up. Motor Officer Cox was called to the scene and finding McGuire in a fighting mood, was forced to us# his club to persuade the man to accompany him to Sheriff Dreher's lodging house. Motou Officer Cox incidentally was slightly injured in a counter attack, but managed to throw the enemy back with severe losses.

Recruiting Notes

Two young men from Bicknell, Ind.. reported at the local recruiting station of the United States army, Wednesday morning, and both enlisted for the field artillery. The boys were James L.. Ijjnn and Robert L. X"tt. They were sent, to Jefferson Barracks, Mo., at noon, for Intensive training.

CUMSNELl LOSES THE KT BUTTLE

Continued From Page One,

the motion oven uied and that taty could prepare to go to triaL The jury was summoned attfl the first steps in the cases were taken. Clark and Gosnell, who are indicted for grand laroeny in connection with an alleged "fence" they conducted at a road house north of the city, for stolen automobiles and automobiles? tires, have until today put up a desperate light against trial.

The frequtnt clasps the special prosecutors, O'Mara and Piety, and the regular prosecutor, William Horsley, who was charged by O'Mara with showing "unusual interest" on behalf of Clark and Gosnell, have attracted Wide public interest to the trial and every step has been observed by the public.

Judge PulHam, Tuesday afternoon, completed the jury panel for the adjourned term of court. It is composed of John S. Turner, John G. Dobbs, Leonard Barton, Frank Dinkle, F1. L. Black, W. S. Ammerman, C. H. Ehrman, William H. Tague, Nicholas Ring, Elijah Williams and Albeit W. Watson.

Chariot Ehrmann First Called. Following Judge Hunt's ruling, Frank "Buster" Clark, the first defendant to be tried, was brought into court. Acting upon advice of Attorney Walker, Clark refused to be arraigned, and refused to enter a plea to the indictment. Attorney Walker stated this Course was being followed for the reason that no legal term of court was In session at this time and for other reasons embodied In the motion which had just been overruled by Judge Hunt.

The indictment was read to Clark by Deputy Clerk Kelly, and Judge Hunt entered a plea of not guilty for the defendant. The regular ranel of twelve jurors was called, and the work of securing a jury satisfactory to both sides was begun.

Special Prosecutor O'Mara began with the examination of C. H. Ehrmann. one of the jurors. He stated that he knew Clark, but that he knew of no reason why he should not render a fair and impartial verdict if accepted as a juryman.

O'Mara then turned to Leonard Barton and began his examination of him by asking him if he knew Clark. He said that he did. He also stated on being questioned that Attorney Walker for the defense was his attorney in a case at Rockville in which he was still acting. He said that he had served as a juror in the plea in abatement trial, but what he had heard there would not influence his verdict In the present trial.

Shortly after O'Mara began to question John Dobbs, Attorney Piety informed the court he had found a statute that held that the defense should take the jury first and should make the first challenge. The attorneys lor the defense objected.

Attorney Walker made some remark concerning "hired attorneys'' to Attorneys Piety and O'Mara, and Judge Hunt interfered. He said: "This trial will proceed without any personal remarks, and any attorney that keeps up this thing will be removed from the case."

Prosecutor Horsley took no part in the discussion and did not even sit with O'Mara and Piety as had been hia oastom before.

Chester Branin and Everett Johnson, who were indicted with Clarfc, but whose cases were dismissed when they were allowed to remain in jail through three terms of court without being arraigned, were present in soldier uniforms. They are stationed at Fort Snelling*, Minnesota. They are important state witnesses.

PRESIDENT READY FOR WIRE CONTROL

WASHINGTON. July 17.—An executive order by President Wilson, taking over trunk line telegraph and telephone systems and delegating control of then? to Postmaster-General Burleson, is expected today or tomorrow.

Arrangements for government operation of the lines virtually are completed, but there will be no announcement of details until the president's order is issued.

It is understood that plans of the government oontemplate consolidation of the telegraph and telephone systems so that telephone trunk lines may be used simultaneously for messages and conversations. Another feature of the program is the acceptance of telegrams at postoffices and the elimination of bookkeeping by the use of stamps to pay for messages.

BOTTLE FULL OF SNAKES.

Taken Into a Kentucky {Editorial Sanctum by Its Owner* F. R. Denton, familiarly known as Dock, brought to our office Tuesday afternoon a bottle chuck full of snakes and told us a big yarn about them, and were^it not for the fact that we have known the gentleman so long and are absolutely sure that he is the embodiment of truth, we might for a time place a slight haio of doubt about the statement.

In the year 1878, Dock tells os, or to use his own words, just forty year# ago, while attending school, he caught seven snakes, all small specimens, and placed them ih a bottle, sealing the bottle securely. There they have remained until now, and apparently they are in as good a state of preservation a« they were forty years ago when he placed them there.

Dock still has the bottle of snakes to show to any doubting Thomases that may bob up, and he will take pleasure in exhibiting them to you if you are desirous of seeing thenv—Bardwell (Kj.) Mews.

Not the American Way

PARIS, July 17.—"WTe regret being unable on this occasion to follow phe councils of our masters, the French, but the American flag has been forced to retire. This is unendurable, and none of our soldiers would understand their not being asked to do whatever is necessary to re-establish a situation which is humiliating to us and unacceptable to our country's honor. We are going to counter attack.*4

This was a message sent by an American general- in command of American forces south of the Marne on Monday afternoon, after the Germans had succeeded in forcing the Americans back towards Conde-EJn-Brie. The French commander informed the American general that the early German successes could not have any great effect on the f?te of the battle, that It was understood perfectly that after hard fighting the Americans had s'owly retired and that it was not expected that they Immediately launch a cpunter attack. He added that a counter attack could be posponed without risk and it might be ^better to give the American troops an hour's rest.

Immediately after the American general sent the above message, which is quoted by the correspondent of the Matin, the Americans launched their counter attack and the lost ground was soon recovered with an additional half mile taken from the Germans for good measure.
