SAYS FUTURE * DEMANDS BIG CITY BUILDING Robert E. Tracey, in Address at School, Declares Vision Is Required. POPULATION TO DOUBLE Indianapolis must have vision enough to build for the future, Robert E. Tracy, director of the bureau of governmental research of the Chamber of Commerce, said in a talk at school No. 6 this afternoon. “Indianapolis today is a city of 300,000, with the possibilities of being twice that size in a decade,” Mr. Tracy said. “It has had a gradual, substantial, wholesome growth with plenty of time to psolve its problems as it went along.” He said that Indianapolis has no large foreign population huddled into crowded quarters and living a European life in our midst as in some American cities. “We have, however,” he added, “problems of city planning, of straightening and widening some of our main arteries of traffic and of opening new ones to the north, of zoning and districting lsr city. Our track elevation and flood prevention work should be completed as rapidly as possible. Our school plant should be extended to take care of the increasing population. We must have vision enough to build for the great future that we are all confidently striving for. “Indiauapolls can be, in the future whatever we who are her citizens decide she shall be. Indianapolis is now the twenty-third city in population. As rapidly as possible we should leave that rung of the ladder and climb up beyond Portland and Kansas City. The Hoosier capital is now in line for a great development, the benefits of which we all shall' enjoy. It is. therefore, incumbent upon us afil to apply our common effort to pushing our city farther to the front.”

WOULD LIFT BAN ON LIGHT WINE Illinoisan Asks Congress to Amend Volstead Act. WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Amendments \ to the Volstead prohibition enforcement law to allow the sale of beer with '£ per cent of alcohol and wine with 0 per cent, were proposed today by Eep- : resentative Sabath Illinois. The present law fixes the maximum alcoholic content at' one-half of 1 per •■M-nt. Another amendment Sabath proposes increases the - amount of liquor physlsicians may prescribe from a pint every ton days to a quart every fifteen days. Because of the prevalence of influenza, Representative Sabath also introduced a resolution In the bouse that the provisions of the Volstead prohfhition enforcement act, allowing onjy one pint of liquor every ten days for sick persons, be suspended for ninety days. Whisky Is the only effective remedy 1 against the disease, he claimed. * KILLS WOMAN, I ENDS OWN LIFE | Tragedy Enacted in Room at Portland, Ind. v Special to The Times. PORTLAND, Ind.. Jan. 22.—A lovers’ ! quarrel ended in a double tragedy here • early today when James Portz. 38. shot and killed Mrs. Emma Geesamau, 35, a Widow', and then sent a bullet into his own brain. The shooting occurred in Mrs. Gee'ouian’s fcoom. The woman was dead and Tortz was dying when the police arrived. It is said that Mrs, Geesaman had been going with Portz for some time, but of late had been seen in company with another man. It is believed that Portz was secreted in her room behind the door and that he fired on her as she attempted to enter. One shot struck her on the right side of the neck, just below the ear, and the other pierced her heart. Portz died on the fl, or where he fell after firing a shot into his brain. Mrs. Geesaman’s husband, Bert Geesaxnan, died about one year ago. Naughty! Naughty! LONDON, Jan. 22.—Slowly, but surely and painfully, the world grows enlightened. Robert Louis Stevenson is vulgar nnl rude, not to say immoral, and “Treasure Island” can t be read by a class of • girls at the Halifax Secondary school, r "Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest — “Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of runr! I “Drink and the devil had done for the rest—- “ Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!” Thus sang the piratical gentlemen in Stevenson’s yarn. “What should young girls know of rum|” the good governors of the school f demanded, one of another, “and why should they be polluted by thoughts oi dead men’s anatomy. Away with Stevenson! Le has ‘Treasure Island'!’" I CEMETERY PAYING. LONDON, Jan. 22.—A1l- departments of the municipality of Mexborough are bnakrupt except the cemetery. “That pays,” an auditor says, “because of influenza; not the business ability of the _ council.” 1 ANXIOUS yFOR "PARADE,” Jan. 22.—“ Sit down; all be counted,” census enumtadvise folks here.

L. Miller, state chemist, who has just completed an analysis at the request of Ele Stansbury, attorney general. The liquor was sent to Mr. Stansbury by Gath Freeman, Wayne county prosecutor. t According to Mr. Miller, the benzol is included ordinarily in denatured alcohol to prevent its being used as a beverage. He said benzol is very poisonous except in very small doses and that It causes Its victims to die of convulsions.

Tells Experiences With Bolsheviki in Russia During War \ t/ DR. EDWARD H. EGBERT. Three years of intimate association with the bolsheviki in Russia was described by Dr. Edward H. Egbert, former superintendent of the American Red Cross hospital at Kiev, Russia, at a noon luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce today. Egbert was associated with Katherine Breskovsky, “grandmother of the Russian revolution” during the war. Dr. Egbert said that in the spring of 1918 the bolslievists held practically the whole of Russia under their power and the intelligent people of Russia had to a large extent been slaughtered or Imprisoned, or were in hiding or refugees abroad. Tbe masses of tbe peasantry, he asserted, for the most part dwelling away from the railroads, were inert, cowed by te#r without arms or leaders. Alfred W. Kliefoth, American military attache in Petrograd during the war, also spoke. Lieut. Kliefoth said bolshevism means the complete obliteration of the family as an Institution, the positive extinction of all religion, the abolition of all private property, personal and national, and self-education, which has a peculiar difference from the Americana reading, writing find arithmetic courses. He declared that America nlone was able to solve the Russian problem. Bang! Barber Admits It Was Close Shave “It was a close shave.” This was the comment today of Harry E.

G. O. P. OF STATE QUITS GOODRICH (Continued From Page One.) dential nomination or there will be no republican party behind him In Indiana.” There will be three and possibly more candidates for the republican nomination for president on the preferential ballot at the May primaries unless tho managers of *tbe republican party in Indiana succeed in "harmonizing” the various factions that have been aroused recently by the determination of Gov. James P. Goodrich to go to the Chicago convention with the Indiana 'delegation in his vest pocket. Goodrich has started to otdaln a petition with the names of s<Xr voters on it asking that the republicans of Indiana have a chance to express their alleged preference for him as a candidate for president. He has entrusted the preparation of this petition to Edward J. Robison, his close personal and business friend, who is the manager ot the Globe Mining Company. This is the company whose mine was opened by convicts from the penal farm when labor was scarce during the war. It is also the company which M.’ E. Lowish swore gave Goodrich and Ward Watson .$25,000 of its stock for “services.” It is likewise the company in which Pierre F. Goodrich, son' of the governor, Is a stockholder and director. Goodrich once said he had given his son this stocks GIVES WATSON CAUSE FOR GRIEF. The “skinning” which it is proposed to give Goodrich on this ballot will cause Jim Watson to weep tears of anguish—over his own failure to take advantage of Goodrich’s unpopularity. For the “skinning” will be administered to Goodrich by the republicans of Indiana who would willingly, nay enthusiastically vote for Watson on a preferential ballot. but will not vote for Goodrich even to exhibit their well-known loyalty to Indiana. Thus Watson men will not be advised to vote for any one. Jim Watson went into an agreement with Jim Goodrich to the effect that the delegates to the Chicago convention were to be either unpledged or to support an Indiana man as long as there was a chance to nominate an Indiana man. Watson will keep his agreement. He will not enter the presidential primary and he will not tell his friends to vote for an opponent of Goodrich. And he does not have to. They will all vote against Jim Goodrich, regardless of who they vote for. In this connection, the story of how Watson was forced out of the presidential primary by Goodrich and how Goodrich is now preventing Watson from declaring open warfare on him was recently related by n strong Watson supporter. This man tells it as follows: “Watson felt that he could obtain a solid Indiana delegation if he got out and fought for it. But he knew he could not do *o without endangering party success In the state. WATSON’S SAFETY IN GOODRICH BOOM. “He figured that If an unlnstrueted delegation could be sent to Chicago he might use it in event there was a call for his nomination for president from some other state, as he expected there would be. Hence, he was agreeable to a suggestion that the delegation be composed of Watson men pledged to support Goodrich as long as Goodrich was a candidate. For well Mr. Watson knows that Goodrich’s boom for the nomination would not last many ballots in the convention. ‘‘For a while Goodrich seemed content with this arrangement and it appeared that no one would the profertial vote, but later there was an attempt made to make it appear that the law required candidates to file petitions and put their names on the ballot. “About the same time word was sent out from the Goodrich camp to the

Beveridge would be brought out las a candidate for senator to oppose I Watson. “This threat of Beveridge for senator j is now being used by the Goodrich peopie to keep the Watson faction still, and ; It looks like Jim Goodrich had Watson bluffed. At any rate, Watson Is keepj lng still. “However, Watson’s keeping still does not mean that his friends will keep their hands off. Goodrich may put his name on the presidential ballot If he wants to. If he does Wood or Johnson will get more votes for president thnu Jim Goodrich dreamed there were In Indiana.” JAP FLYER ENDS Tltir.
