ARK BOARD AND CITY TO ARRANGE TEST CASE

Controvert/ Over Street Intersection Paving — Footbridge Is Ordered. The board of park commiaslonera, acting under instruction* from Mayor Bell, yesterday decided to enter into a test the city to ascertain the leboard’s contention that the street intersections ordered by the park board should he n the city s general fund. ReglSnllivan, city controller, has refused to pay for the paving of street intersections In New street, which recently was Improved by the park board. According to members of the board

1

the Indiana state board of accounts was ‘ (railed on at .one time to decide a similar Question arising in Ft. Wayne, and the state board decided the cost of paving such intersections should be paid from the city's general fund. The park department will save about $3,000 if the ques-

tion is decided in its favor.

The board directed that plans be pre- ^ ^ ^ ^

tared for the construction of a rustic i ' fi m over tured six officers and 2

pared for

footbridge in the Garfield gardens over

Rfean creek.

The next meeting of the board will be •held Frldsy. February 23, because the regular meeting date falls on Washington’s birthday.

j W r hile fighting is going on in alf the I principal theaters of the war, in none of i them has there occurred a battle of great ; , importance. For the most part the operations are being carried out by small raiding and reconnoitering parties and by the artillerists of both groups of belligerents. There has been considerable aerial activity on the western front in France — bomb-dropping exploits and ; fights in the air. In these latter engage- | meats both the entente and Germans have

, lost airplanes.

For the first time iff several days the British war office reports no gain for the troops of King George fighting In France, although a small raiding party near Guedecourt, in the Somme region, entered a German position and brought | back several prisoners. Northeast of i Yprcs the Germans succeeded in reaching i a British post, but later were driven oft

i with losses.

Big Guns Busy.

Artillery duels of violence have been in progress in the Somme and Ypres sectors and in the region of Verdun, on the sectors of Les liaisons de Champagne, Hardaumont and Vaux, and in Lorraine. In Galicia, north of the Tarnopol-Zioch-oft railroad, the Germans entered Russian trenches on a front of 100 yards and cap-

that the Russians were pushing beneath the German trenches were destroyed by the Germans. F’etrograd admits an attack by the Germans in this region, but says that according to the last reports the battle was still in progress. To the north in Volhynia surprise attacks by the Germans against the Russians met with suc-

cess.

Danube Town Shelled. Galatz, one of Roumania’s principal Danubian towns, again has been bombarded by the German guns. Field Marshal von Mackensen’s force# operating in Houmania have captured a Russian outpost on the Putna river, and repulsed an attempted advance by the Roumanians along the Sereth. After several days of counter-attacks the Italians in the Macedonia theater have retaken Hill 1060, east of Paralovo, which was captured from them earlier in the week by the Germans. The German casualties In the fighting here February 12 arid 13 are declared to have been large. Austrian guns are heavily bombarding parts of the Italian line east of Gorz and on the Carso plateau. Several small engagements have taken place on various sectors of the Austro-Italian line, but no great result has been achieved.

NEW HIGH MARK.FOR INDIANAPOLIS STATION.

WAR DEPARTMENT REPORT

Reports from the United States war department indicated today that a record in recruiting for the army has been made in the ten-day period for February 1 to 10, inclusive. A list of 125 acceptances since February 1 makes a new high mark for the local army recruiting station, in charge of Captain j Edward R. Coppock. At this rate the enlistments at the Indianapolis station for the month here will be nearly ISO per cent, of that required. The statement fromUhe war department is as follows: "One thousand five hundred and fortyfour enlistments were made at the depots and depot posts for the period February 1 to 10. inclusive. This is an increase over any ten-day period in January.” This statement covers the figures from recruiting depots only and does not concern the enlistments at the posts and forts of the regular army. Indianapolis stands third in the list of acceptances that have been made through postmasters within the last four months. Atlanta, Ga.. and Portland, Ore., lead with sixty-four and forty-six. respectively. The local station has forty-three to its credit. Captain Coppock says business is continuously on the increase at the local station. Sergeant G. C. Wright, in charge of recruiting in Indianapolis for the United States marine corps, reports fourteen acceptances out of more than fifty applications since February 1. Seven men complied "with Uncle Sam’s requirements last week and five the week before. The navy recruiting station also reports good businesSs. Articles of Incorporation. .

Alkali Makes Soap Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain Mulsified Cocoanut Oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It’s very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug tore, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff.—Advertisement.

The Ro tartan Minstrels, by far the best company of vaudeville and blackface troupers that has visited the Murat theater this season, pleased au audience last night that was as numerically strong at the conclusion of the performance as at the beginning—surely a perfect tribute for" an amateur production. During the usual minstrel first part, the morale of the audience was very good, considering. Otto Krauss was one of the big noises among the black-face squad. His *T Can Dance "With Anybody But My Wife,” and the interpretative dancing that accompanied the alleged music, brought his several encores. C. Roltare Eggleston, who sang, danced, blackfaced and magicianed. Indicated that he was perfectly capable In an emergency of replacing any of the actors at his theater in Pennsylvania street, except the singers. His Hawaiian stuff even had a demoralizing effect on the orchestra, while his manipulation of the playing cards, rings and colored handkerchiefs was Kellerish. „ „ Ferdinand L. Murr, subbing for C. Scott Walker because of his illness, made a fine impression with the Indianapolis ballad “Why Don’t They Make the Nights a Little linger?” the words of which were written by William Herschell. a well-known opponent of the “more daylight” movement, with music

by Barclay Walker.

Lee V. Dynes sang "Over the Hills to Virginia.” accompanied by William D. Allison. Horace W. Carey, Samuel O. Dungan, Edwin R. Hisey, T. L. Scott, Ferdinand L. Murr. Joseph F. Gregoire and John R. Curry. J. Lloyd Wayne, C. Roltare Eggleston and Charles R. Sherman, of the endmen, attempted to sing, while Don A. Morrison. Frank G. Kamps, Jr.; Arch V. Grossman and Raymond D. Brown, the other erstwhile “colored gents.” were less foolhardy, being content with exchanging jokes and gridiron stuff with W T alter E. Pittsford,

interlocutor.

“The Perils of Fooriena” was a problem play of the most sensational type, and was produced without the ”0. K.” of the board of indorsers of Juvenile motion pictures. Chick Pickford Meyer

was a lovely Fooriena, Hank Fairbanks Kothe joined the ranks of the matinee idols In his interpretation of FYed Fearnot, and Desperate Casey Kreig. Charley Chaplin Herschell and E-Z Jack Reis were hard guys who met a well-deserved punishment at the hands of our hero, Freddie. The author of the scenario had the good judgment not to let his name be known. “Pep,” a comedy of local insignificance by William Herschell, optimistically carried the prediction that Indianapolis would recover from its lethargy and begin to compete with other middle western cities In industrial expansion. An unexpected element of humor was introduced into the finale when a sleepy stage hand let down a back drop too soon, cutting off part of the cast. Tpe unavailing efforts of the author to prevent part of his actors from being shoved Into the background were funny. The Four Saxophonians got a couple of encores. Dan Brown. Jr., and his Gatling gun squad gave their exhibition of zouave j maneuvers and gun drilling. The volleys! which were fired into the wings failed to j hit any of the members of the “Pep” company, a sad blow to the professional pride of the gunners. They brought ihej American flag into the last part of the! act, although the audience had shown no signs of needing anything to revive their | interest. The members of the Gatling gun squad are: Dan Brown. Jr., captain: Glen Dixon. C. F. Schmidt, Edward A. Strong, Jr., William C. Barton. Joseph T. Head, William C. Allen, Orville R. Scott. Robert P. Wurster. Earl R. Cox, George Voigt. George B. Price, Harry A. Pell, Charles C. Brautigam, James Hodgson, Jr., George M. Weaver. Mahlon E. Bash, George W. Henke. Will F. Law. Bert Swiggett.
