fLOWDEN BOOM L ON NEXT WEEK OVER INDIANA Governor of Illinois to Open Headquarters Here in His Presidential Quest. SPITE IN WOOD’S RACE The campaign of Got. Frank O. Ixvwflen of Tlltnols ’for the presidency will b£ opened In Indianapolis next week. Headquarters will be established and a petition circulated asking: that his name be placed on the primary ballot. In order to feel ont the situation relative to Indiana’s attitude toward the candiahcy of the Illinois governor, Fred E. Sterling. Illinois state treasurer, and '.John H. Harrison, editor of the Danville (111.) Commercial, are in Indianapolis. • After spending: all day yesterday Interviewing republicans and feeling ont the sentiment of Indiana and Indlanapo--11s people. Mr. Sterling reported that the outlook is bright for Lowden’s success in Indiana. Mr. Sterling expects to return to Illinois soon, but Mr. Harrison will remain here and, with the support of a number of local friends of the Illinois governor, will open the campaign. STERLING PLEASED WITH PROSPECTS. "We are finding a strong sentiment for Gov. Lowden here.” Mr. Sterling said. ‘‘The is most hopeful. We most certainly expect to carry Indiana In the campaign and election.” Many republican leaders here believe the Lowden boom will assume the proportions the Wood boom appeared to be taking on a few days ago. There will he one difference, however. The Wood boom was undoubtedly artificial, being used largely ns a means of eliminating Gov. Goodrich from the race. The Lowden boom undoubtedly will be for no other purpose than obtain the nomination of Lowden. The need for a business administration at Washington was pointed out by Mr. Sterling In discussing the possibilities of Gov. Lowden being elected. Mr. Sterling believes that Gov. Lowden has the necessary ability to conduct the national administration at this time, when close attention to financial affairs and the prosperity of the nation is necessary. POINTS TO RECORD OF GOV. LOWDEN. Mr. Sterling pointed to Gov. Lowden’s record as the chief executive of Illinois. He said his friends are relying on that record to win the confidence of the nation. “The Illinois tax rate was reduced 46 per cent under the Lowden administration,” Mr. Sterling said. “This was accomplished by the abolition of useless expenditures by the administration. Useless departments were eliminated and the government of the state placed in the hands of nine boards.” Mr. Sterling declared that the life of Gov. Lowden has been one that contains all the background of a good executive, lie explained that he was the son of a blacksmith: that he was a graduate of a lsw school, and that as a young man he had taught school in the country, later becoming a successful business man and still later a successful governor. 5 FARMERS ON NEWBERRY JURY Recess Until Monday Follows Completion of Drawing.

Non-Delivery of 13 Million Kisses Wins Balm Suit of Wealthy Girl

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Non-delivery of 18,000.000 promised kisses may have caused Miss Mary Lillian Phipps, wealthy daugHer of George N. Phipps, one of the inventors of the typewriter, to sue William Russell Smith, millionaire Sunday school teacher, for $50,000. She compromised the breach of promise suit for $.3,627, after the letter guaranteeing her 13,000,000 oscillatory demonstrations had been entered as proof of her claims. Sw’lft, beautiful and passionate was the wooing of Smith, according to Miss Phipps. As sparkling gems, quotations from the less "sanppy” passages of Balzac. gave luster to the forty love letters Miss Phipps produced. "It was Easter Sunday on a motor trip to Asbury Parle that Mr. Smith proposed to me,” says Miss Phipps, ”1 did not accept. He said he would make me love him. He did.” BIRDS AND FLOWERS AIDS OF CFPID. Smith was a brisk worker, it would appear from the fact that Miss Phipps admitted herself captured June 4, she says. "Do the birds tell yon I love you,” Smith inquired In one of the letters Miss Phipps says he wrote. f ‘‘Do the flowers, through their beauty, tell you I love yon?” Assuming that the little dickie birds were discussing the matter and the springtime posies giving tongue to his DEATH 3 TIMES POSTPONES CASE Fate Deals Grim Hand in Suit Before Judge Clifford. Fate has plaved a ‘‘death dealing hand” in a case now before Judge Vincent Clifford of superior court, room 4. four. Three times the-case has been continued Indefinitely because the mothers of three attorneys have died. The case in question Is that of the Oak Ridge Coal Company against the Globe Mining Company, which Is popularly referred to at the courthouse as “Gov. Goodrich i coal company,” for $25,000 judgment. The case was first continued when the mother of Attorney Ralph Kyie died. 1 The second continuance was caused by death of the mother of Attorney James Ross. The death of the mother of Ward Watson a few days ago caused the court to continue the case for final argument until next week, according to Judge Clifford. The court admits that he Is "rather shakey” when the case is called again. "This is the most perculiar coincidence that I have ever seen,” said Judge Clifford today. "And now I hear that one of the attorneys is-ver.v ill.” The court shi-vered and so did the reporter. The case was filed during the October term of 1917, and the Oak Ridge Coal Company alleges the Glob®. Mining Company owes its coffers $23,393.11 for the use of machines used in strip coal mining, for materials, wages and the like. Judgment of $25,000 is asked. The defendant company, in an answer, alleges that ‘‘the account” has been satisfied in “full”, and asks damages against the Oak Ridge Coal Company. The plaintiff company alleges that the Globe Mining Company "seized and took possession of the property” and also damaged some of the shovels. Many pleadings have been filed in this case and the plaintiff company has filed a long list of particulars setting out the alleged state of facts In the case. ASK $25,000 FOR SOOrTB. LOOANSPORT, Ind., Jan. 31.—A drive to raise $25,000 with which to place the Logansport Boy Scouts on a firm financial foundation has been started, here.

Pershing, the tin soldier, very busy explaining thinks. Os course, the children could understand tin soldier language perfectly now, with the r friend, the magical mushroom, along, and their little green shoes were very useful, too. How else could they ever get small enough to ride in a lost tin soldier’s taxicab that had lost pennies for wheels? Nancy noticed the lamp posts first, and the telegraph poles. “Why, they are all lead pencils,” she exclaimed, delightedly, clapping her hands. “Lost lead pencils!” corrected the tin soldier. And lost fountain pens, too! You see children don’t lose all the things.” “Would you mind driving a little Blower?” asked Nick. “I’ve lost so many lead pencils and daddy says he wouldn’t buy me any more. I might find some of mine here.” 1 “Os course, I’ll drive any way you like,” answered Gen. Pershing, “only, as the whistle told you, things don't come here until they are lost for good. You can’t take them back.” f “Then I hope we won’t find our lost monkey here,” declared Naucy, promptly. "The only thing Is,” answered the soldier, thoughtfully, “that If he isn’t here, he isn’t lost, that’s all!" / “Then we’ll keep on looking,” said Nick. “There! That yellow pencil with the brass top is the one I traded Snoopy Smith my ball for. I was trying to poke a bug out of a hole and it went down.” Suddenly, hang! Crash! The taxicab skidded right into the lead pencil lamp post and spilled the twins out But they weren’t hurt a bit, and jumped right up. And what happened after that you shall hear tomorrow.—Copyright, SIWO. •

devotion, Smith proceeded, the letters show, by these biological phenomena to prove that the world must indeed be a gladsome abode for Miss Fhipps. Before Smith settled down to the profitable pastime of helping railways to tbelr financial feet and giving the young spiritual legs at his Tenafly Sunday school classes, he was a bit naughty, not to say wild, the letters would imply. LETTER TALKS OF THE RIOTOUS LIFE. "I lived a riotous life,” Miss Phipps says he wrote. "Love dissipated find died by inches alternately in the most glorious and most wretched manner possible.’’ Another letter talked of bis life, says Miss Phipps, in other countries. "I have loaned a Chinaman money and taken his father’s corpse as security. 1 have begged my bread. I have left my gold In a savage’s wigwam and slept In an Arab’s tent with only his word as security.” Before, his love may have "died by Inches,” “but It was sudden death In this case, Miss Phipps says. One day he telephoned and he said, according to Miss Phipps: "I’m through with you, Lillian. Yoiatold friends of mine l was a greenhorn and a booh.” Thereupon Miss Phipps went to law. Once, she alleges, he wrote to her declaring, “I love to bear your plaintive voice say ‘My Bill,’” but when he heard the plaintiff’s voice saying my bill is $50,000, ho wrote a check for $3,627.

The amount of meat may be lessened but not eliminated. Every scrap of milk should be saved and made Into this old-fasMoned 'but nourishing dish. In cold weather It will probably be necessary to sour the milk. Then warm the milk In a pan of hot water for about half on hour. When the curd and whey have separated, pour off the whey. To do this I put a wet piece of cotton cloth In a colander and pour the curd into It. Let drain for several hours, until fairly _dry. The whey has a sour taste and needs to be entirely removed. When the curd is dry work smooth with a spoon and add salt and pepper. I like to moisten the cheese with a little sweet cream—if 1 have It. The cream supplies the fat. MENU FOR TOMORROW. BREAKFAST —Halves of grape fruit, buckwheat cakes and sausage, coffee. LUNCHEON—Pea souffle, hot rolls and butter, chopped pickle, cookies, tea. DINNER—Tomato bouillon, English cut of beef, creamed potatoes with cheese, fried parsnips, celery, chocolate cream pie, coffee. MY OWN RECIFE#?. When there are children In the family a cereal should always be provided for them, preferably a cooked one. I believe all little folks love pancakes and while these will not give the necessary growing foods there Is no reason >why a perfectly healthy, normal child should not eat one or two pnneakea for his breakfast aside from his cereal. PEA SOUFFLE. Two tablespoons flour. Two tablespoons butter. One cup milk. One cup mashed cooked peas. Two eggs. One teaspoon salt. One-fourth teaspoon pepper. One-half tnblespoon chopped parsley. Make a white sauce of flour, butter, milk and salt. Add pulp of peas. Beat eggs separately. Add well beaten yolks to mixture. Fold In whites beaten until stiff and dry. Turn into a well buttered baking dish and bake In a moderate oven until firm to the touch, from thirty to forty minutes. CREAMED POTATOES WITH CHEESE. Two cups boiled potatoes (diced). Two cups milk. Two tablespoons flour. Two tablespoons butter. One teaspoon salt. - Three-fourths cup diced or grated cheese. Paprika. Put potatoes into a "buttered baking dish.

Real Estate Queries Conducted by the Real Estate Editor of TOT Times. *“ —■ Readers of The Times often have questions regarding real estate and matters pertaining thereto which puzzle them. To be of greatest service to its readers and help them solve their difficulties in this line The Times has established a department for just such questions. Questions should be addressedx to the Real Estate Editor, care Indiana Daily Times.

I gave a real estate agent that deals in west side property th© authority to sell a house for me. He did not sell it, but incidentl.v mentioned it to another agent. Several months passed nnd the second agent secured a buyer. Several months again elapsed and then the first agent made a claim on me for a commission, saying that he was responsible for the sale being made. Is he entitled to a commission? T. P. L. An agent must have a written option, signed by you, in which you agree that he shall sell your property for a certain price, etc., etc., nnd that a certain agent’s commission shall be paid, etc., in order to have a legal right and a legal power to collect said commission. Os course, the second agent actually sold the property, and your conveyance aV ‘the property and the payment to him of his commission was a ratification oj the authority Invested in him, and is Irrevocable. The first agent, therefore, not having a written agreement with vou, and not having consummated tho deal himself with your' recognition ot him In said deal, Is not entitled to the commission. • How Is land or property assessed In Indianapolis?

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP By ‘AL’ EVANS It fakes some people the "Longest” time to make an application for membership in the Indianapolis Real Estate Board. I wonder If the "Human Fly” was making an appraisement of the Washington Hotel building? That would be a good plan to follow when buying real estate. Has any one any idea what Calvelage and Lawrence Welch were doing out in Haughrlllo this early In the season? General use has been made of the terra, “Get Busy With Bose.” Tibbs got busy with Bose and then the membership committee got busy with both of them. W. E. Bash sakl: "it is up to the real estate fraternity to sblve the housing question.'' Let’s show the whole country that Indianapolis has a real live real estate board. The entertainment committee ls~ sure planning some real frolics for the com lng year. Now all we need is a good attendance to’ show them that we appreciate their work. Id think ITeiney Rlehardt would be afraid of getting "pinched" for breaking into a man's house at midnight. How do you get away with that stuff, Helney? (The MacLeod) is now a regular contributor to this colymn. Along with some of the above remarks he submits the following: Oh, they're always yelling "copy” For the papers on the press. And the old man Is trying hard to make a scoop. But my think tank’s sorely muddled And my nerves are all a-jangle; For the consequences I don’t care a whoop. So my earnest prayer at midnight Will be such to make one weep; And no doubt will land me in the soup. And the midnight prayer I’ll utter Without a stammer or a stutter—ls “I hope they’re hanging all the ‘devils’ in'the morning. The Ideal renl estate man, and there are many of them, has In an eminent degree such qualifications as education, vision, judgment, Integrity and an ideal of public service. The realtor exercise: all of these qualifications In his dea)lngs with the public. In these days when organization is the rule in every line of effort, it is hardly necessary to call attention to the desirability of associations of real estate men. In baseball, football, politics, religion and war, combined effort—team work wins. T*4s Is equally true In tho real estate profession. The experience of local real eestate boards from the Atlantic to the Pacific, some of which have been in active operation for more than thirty-five years, has demonstrated that they fill an important place in the communities in which they are active.

GARY, Ind., Jan. 31. —John Banderis, 40, and his 15-year-old wife, Katherine Poppas of Canton, 0., are held by the Gary police today—awaiting extradition papers.

Plan to Salvage 1,000 Lost Vessels LONDON, Jan. 31.—More than 1,000 vessels from 200 to 10,000 tons each are lying In 120 feet or loss of water around the British ißles, according to a chart prepared by the British admiralty. These vessels were submarined. And 120 feet is the depth at which the modern salver can work If be is trying to recover the ship itself. Cargo can be recovered from a much greater depth. Experts already are busy with plans for recovering this treasure from the sea. Salvage operations will be a common sight within reach of practically every seaside resort next summer. Across the mouth of the Thames la an almost complete chain of sunken vessels. Sinn Fein Plans New Million. Dollar Loan DUBLIN. .Tan. 31. r-It was learned from an authoritative source today that the Sinn Fein organization is preparing to launch another $1,000,000 loan for the Irish republic. The last loan was oversubscribed, but Sinn Fein officials declare that the stoppage of advertising by the. government left many sources untapped.

which he makes these assessments is very clearly defined In the acts of 191© under the title of taxation. Briefly, the township assessor calls on each and every person residing In his township, either In person or by deputy, and makes a list of all land and property owned by any such person. These calls are made during the months of March and April, and on or before the first Monday In June of each year the (owiiship assessor makes out and delivers to the county auditor a return of properties he has listed for taxation. The county board of review, which Is composed of the county assessor, county auditor, county treasurer and two freeholders of opposite political parties, convenes on the first Mozday of June of each year to equalize the assessments made by the various township assessors of the county. What percentage of return should an apartment house bring to the owner at the present time? D. A. H. This is a hard question to answer. It all depends upon the condition of the apartment and the kind of an apartment it. is. If It Is a high-class apartment of very good construction the return should be 16 pe* cent in order to pay out at the end of the life of building and pay 10 per cent on the investment, t If it was Just a small apartment and an ordinary bullfilng It should pay 14 per cent over and above running expenses.

Four one-act plays were presented by the Little Theater society at the Masonic temple last night, as the fifth bill of the season. “Bushido,” a Japanese tragedy; “Woman’s Honor,” a farce by Snsan Glaspell; “Moonshine,” a comedy by Arthur Hopkins, and “Unspoken,” a psychological drama were the offerings. In the last named sketch the two characters on the stage act their parts in pantomime, the lines being spoken off stage. It dealt with a misunderstanding in the- matrimonial life of a couple. “Woman’s Honor,” treated satirically man’s readiness to assume the TOie of martyr for a woman. The comedy “Moonshine” was a clever bit of dialogue, well handled, by H. B. Williams nnd Robert E. Tracy. Director George Bomnes gave an able presentation in “Bushido,” Mrs. Margaret Beazley, James Morgan and H. L. Earnest are deserving for mention for their work In the tragedy.
