Mr. Bryan also strongly attacked profiteers and profiteering. In this connection he declared that ‘wherever competition is impossible and monopoly is necessary, It must be a government owned monopoly, whether it is the railroads, the telegraph systems or my other monopoly. The new railroad aw looks to one great privately owned monopoly.” . Mr. Bryan also denounced a press subservient to monopolies. "Newspapers arc not all owned by those who appear to be the owners," he said. “Tou had a case in Indiana where yon found that the man who was supposed to own a newspaper was not the owner. I believe the man who was supposed to be the owner was indicted and later released. “There Is no technicality that can get a pear man out.

England Phones to Rome by Wireless LONDON, March 24.—Wireless telephone conveisatlons were exchanged between Chelmsford, England, and Rome today. The first message by voice aoross continental Europe was sent to the Rome newspaper Messagero. V. J press the publication of an official newspaper by the government. Free speech is necessary to a free government, Mr. Bryan told his audience. He said this does not mean freedom to counsel law violations. “I read an editorial in one of your Indiana ffiapers defending Senator Newberry,’’ he said. “What republican paper would defend a burglar? “A candidate who violates thd law is more guilty than a burglar. If Mr. New. berry didn't like the election law why didn’t he advocate its repeal? “If the United States senators allow a man to sit among them who has been convicted of law violation they have fallen lower than our estimate of them.” Mr. Bryan made both speeches in the largest theater In Ft Wayne. At both meetings the 'house was filled to capacity. The afternoon meeting, which was a women’s meeting, was presided over by Mrs. Alice Foster McCulloch, state chairman of the democratic women. Samuel M. Foster, candidate for lieutenant gov-, ernor, presided at the evening meeting.

GIANT BEAMS FILL BIG AREA (Continued From Page One.) city, railroad presidents and railroad boards of directors. That was back in 1912, when the topic was broached. WORK INTERRUPTED BY THE WAR. Five years went by since 1912 and the entire scope of work was not yet mapped out completely. Work began in 1914. So did the war. A part of the track elevation work went on, a part ceased. Then came a crisis. Should the war check local activity in the Important work of track elevation, a work lessening danger to life? Or Bbould all progress In that direction be stimulated? The state council of defense, under Will H. Haya, decided that the work should be stopped. Tho council requested the engineers In charge to stop the work and for a time It was Interrupted. It was explained that the council of defense believed labor and materials were more essential in other places nt that time. Immediately there was a protest led by The Times, from dttiens of the south side, from the Chamber of Commerce and from the business men of Indianapolis in general. It was pointed out that the suspension of operation at that time

‘Arresf of Guard Clears Path to Rob CHICAGO, March 24.—Bandits who took a garage tender on a dizzy ride on the pretense they were Jailing him left a stock of tires, chains and auto accessories open for their pals. The robbery amounted to SIO,OOO according to the loser. k -J greatly hampered shipping in Indianapolis and that this was holding up war' work to s larger extent than the diversion of labor and materials to track elevation work would hold it up. The council of defense backed np on ite first decision that the work should be stopped and referred the whole matter to William G. McAdoo, who was then director-general of railroads. Mr. McAdoo made a thorough investigation of the situation personally and sent word that the work should go ahead ns rapidly as pogstble. Today the long stretch of steel beams and girders going up in the train shed part of the new station, the trains running overhead into the partially completed station Is the answer to the word he sent back. Os the expense of the track elevation work, It is estimated that the railroads will bear TO per cent of the total cost,

while the city and county will shoulder the remainder of the burden. When no car tracks intersect city streets the city wdJJ assume about 17 per cent of the cost acd the couuty 8 per cent, but where tracks do Intersect streets the city will be required to bear about 14 per cent and the county the remainder of the expense. Work on the Union station is progressing rapidly, excavations for piers In the foundation being sunk and final plans completed for the track details. Frank Lingenfelter, city engineer, said today that Illinois street and Capitol avenue will be opened and pavements completed within sixty to ninety days. “That means,” he said, “that much of the present congestion will be eliminated and traffic afforded a more normal outlet.” J. L. Elliott, who has been placed In charge of the city’s track elevation work by Mr. Ltngenfelter, has been wrapped up In the progress of the work. The steel workers’ strike has held up porous of the work, hut gangs of workmen have been rushed to complete other sections of the gigantic enterprise.

FIRST RED ON HIS WAY FROM STATE (Continued From One.) by government officials, and Is the first alien to be transported from the state. No report as to the disposition of some thirty other Indiana reds has been received from Washington, but it is thought several are due for a long trip in the near future. The teachings of Purtikowski and his breed gained little foothold in Indianapolis, it is thought, although there seems to be some few here who are discontented with the workings of the country. Only this week radical literature was scattered promiscuously In the south part of town. The deportation of alien anarchists seems to meet with the approval of the public, according to Mr. DeMiller. lie said such steps had been disenssed with all classes of good loyal Americana and that practically every one he talked to felt deportation was the proper medl-

Woman Steps on Snake at Courthonse Mercy! Snakes in the courthouse yard. Mrs. Jessie Schmtts was walking through the promenade. She shuddered as a little black reptile squirmed across her path. But Mrs. Schmitz is a woman of nerve. She grabbed s small stick and with (he aid of her heel killed it.

Newberry-Ford Vote Recount Doubtful TaANSING, Mich., March 24.—1 t appeared doubtful here today whether the recount of ballots In the Newberry-Ford senatorial election of 1918 can ever be carried ont in more than a cursory manner. Advices from many upper peninsula counties indicate that county officials destroyed ballots before they received notification from Washington to hold them for the recount. Other counties were said to have acted in the same manner. 2 More Autos Stolen Two automobiles were stolen and the police today are searching for the cars and the thieves who took them. Bert Th.pp, living at the Clay pool hotel, told the police his automobile, valued at $4,100, disappeared from In front of 149 West Twentieth street. E. L. Jacoby, 3637 Kenwood avenue, said his car, valued at $2,900, was stolen from in front of 3119 College avenoe.
