BIG ADDITION TO CITY A huge plant of the Westinghouse Lamp Company, for the manufacture of incandescent electric lamps, will come to Indianapolis, it was announced today. on all the proper? bounded LaSalle street on the west. .Michigan street on the south to the Belt railroad. thence in a line north to St. Osir street and west to LaSalle street, with the exception of twelve lots on LaSalle street south of St. Clair street, have been obtained by Emerson W. ("bailie, realtor, representing the company. There are twb small houses on the site, which contains about twelve acres, hot the remainder of the site is vacant land. CITT TO ORDER PROPERTY VACATED. The board of public works agreed to vacating Tuxedo street within the site and several small alleys. It was stated that if this had not been done the plant would have gone to St. Lonis. as this was the one site desired in this city by the company. There are now only a few minor legal technicalities to be attended to before the deal for the land is completely closed. A rough estimate of the cost of the building and equipment is $2,500,000. and it is the plan to have it in operation by spring of 1921. About 700 persons will be employed iu the plant, which .will be five stories high and of the most psoderr. construction in every way. Because of the nature of the work a large portion of the employes will be women and girls. VLAN MODERN CONVENIENCES. The work is said to be clean and attractive to high-class workers, and there will be such attractive features as cafeteria. restrooms, dancing floor for Ua*. at noon hours, dispenshry, group insurance, etc. The Westinghouse Lamp Company has et present a plant at Trenton. N. .T.. from which distribution is made for the eastern state*, and a plant at Milwaukee, from which distribution for the western states is made. It is the plan to make distribution from the Indianapolis plant for the cenkirai western states and the south. The polls plant, it is expected, will have a daily output of between 50.000 and 75.000 incadescent lamps a day. The Westinghouse Lamp Company decided to construct an additional lamp factory in one of the central western cities about a year and a half ago. and that the factory should be in operation by the spring of 1921, in order to meet the .demands of the succeeding winter. Representatives of the company made investigation of the merits of various cities and the sites that might be available, including St. Louis, and Louisville. Recently T. C.

The bureau of industry of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce has been conferring with representatives of the Westinghouse company for several months, and it was partly through the efforts of Myron R. Green, director of the bureau, that the company was interested in the general location of the site purchased. Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce assisted the company in making an extensive industrial survey last winter, and had difficulty in selling the eity during the first visit of representatives of the company because of a prejudice held toward Indianapolis. The company's representatives were quickly convinced, however, that the information on which prejudices were based was entirely erroneous. Once these erroneous impressions wers removed, representatives of the company frankly admitted that Indianapolis would be an ideal location for the large plant.

Expert's Survey Expected to Urge Creation of New County Board

Advocating the creation of a board which can assist the Marion county commissioners in managing the various county institutions, Henry C’. Wright, an expert In institutional management, who recently completed a survey of county institutions, today advised the commissioners in a letter that his report had been forwarded to Indianapolis. Dr. Wright indicated in bis letter, which was received by the commissioners. that his report contains recommendations which can be accomplished and successfully carried out by the commissioners if they so desire. "I have given considerable thought to the question of relieving your office of some of the burdens indicated by you iu our last conference." Dr. Wriglit wrote, “and have finally concluded that it is wise to recommend tia creation of a board which can assist you in carrying on some of your work." REPORT AWAITED WITH INTEREST. The official report of Dr. Wright's survey is anxiously awaited by the commissioners as he Intimat'd that some of h's recommendations would be very trank In an effort to improve conditions at certain institutions iu the county. Dr. Wright also sent the commissioners an Itemized account, of his expenses, which totaled $lB4, and under the agreement at the time of his employment- the commissioners agreed to pay biui si,ooo over nnd above his expenses. President Lewis George stated that Dr. Wright had informed him before completing his examination that he would never recommend the transfering of the prisoners from the present Marion county jail to the abandoned workhouse as vns suggested by Judge James A.

Mr. George said that the county commissioners have turned over to the Patriotic Gardeners' association about twen-ty-eight acres of land at the workhouse, ■which citizens can use for garden lots this summer.

Dr. Wright, when in the city making his survey, stated to newspapermen that the county jail, as far as the building was concerned, is >ne of the best he has seen, and that extensive improvements rre needed to make the jail a sitisfaetory institution.

CONGRESS WAY • BEHIND IN WORK Calendar Jammed and Recess Due in Eleven Days. WASHINGTON. May 24.—With only eleven days remaining before congress recesses for the national political conventions, several of the most important legislative questions remain to be settled. The general appropriations bills, with the exception of the army appropriation bill and the sundry civil bills, have been passed by both houses. The naval and agriculture appropriation bills are deadlocked in conference. The passage of all appropriations before the contemplated recess is absolutely necessary. The national conventions will not be over in time for the passage of these measures following the recess and before July 1, when they become effective. Two questions, the soldier bonus and the increased salaries desired by the postal employes, have not been acted upon by either house. The soldier bonus legislation will be taken up in the house tomorrow or Wednesday. The postal salary problem can uot be taken up until the congressional committee having the matter in charge reports. The progressive senators practically have the question of recess in their power. They are contending for the consideration of the Kendrick-Kenyon bill to regulate the packing industry. If the measure is pressed to block other business both proponents and opponents will aid in the filibuster, causing all but appropriation bills to be laid aside. The minimum wage bill for federal employes is being urged for passage by Senator Johnson, republican of California.

Hitchcock was the first witness called by donator Kenyon, republican of lowa, chairman of the sub-committee. “There is no intention to aid or injure any of the various presidential candidates in any party,” Senator Kenyon said at the outset. i MEMOEY HAZY ON EXPENDITURES. Hitchcock professed to have a very hazy knowledge of the extent of the Wood campaign expenditures and contributions. He said he was acting “only in a supervisory capacity" in the Wood cam f paign. and contended if a Wood “slnsh fund” existed the various treasurers of the Wood campaign would h.ave information regarding it and not him. He suggested William Cooper Proctor, in charge of the Wood western headquarters at Chicago, would probably be able t shed more light than anyone else on the Wood expenditures and contribu- ! tions. He asserted the Chicago headquarters tad sent money into eastern states when the eastern headquarters at New York City had a deficit and was “broke.” H tchcock said $15,000 sent into New Jersey from the national headquarters of Wood's campaign was the largest amount spent from the fund in any state. In Maryland, he said, $12,500 was spent, but contended that in most states the allotment was less than SIO,OOO. Some states got nothing, he said, citing New York, where he said local contributions financed the campaign. In the New England states. Hitchcock testified, the limit contributed to any state from Wood's national fund was $5,000. REED DEMANDS REAL FACTS. Senator Reed, a democratic member of the investigating committee, halted .the , questioning to demand that the committee make a rule either to get specific testimony or to require a written statement. The Michigan campaign, Hitchcock said, was financed by local people and no money was spent from the national funds. He ronld give no idea as to how much was raised in Michigan and Wisconsin and nothing was sent from national headquarters to Rhode Island, Connecticut or Delaware. Illinois and Ohio were financed from western headquarters. Hitchcock stated, adding that he opposed contests in both of these states. Hitchcock said that he know nothing about disbursements from Chicago headquarters. The Dnpont interests contributed to Wood's campaign in Delaware, the witness declared. As to Ohio, Hitchcock said big expenditnres were made, hut from the Chicago headquarters to the Wood campaign. Hitchcock said he knew nothing abont the Wood publicity campaign because that, too, was conducted from Chicago. Answering questions by Senator Kenyon. Hitchcock denied he had set u* contesting delegations in southern states ard “don't intend to," he added. VEGRO BROUGHT INTO TESTIMONY. He asserted reports from Georgia that 1 the "opposition" to Wood was spending i a great deal of money caused Wood’s managers to Fend SIO,OOO into that state. Pressed to tell who the "opposition” was. he said he did not know, but that its leader was Hemy Lincoln Johnson, a negro politician. He said the so-called Wood delegation in Mississippi was not a legally elected ■ one and said that he had had nothing ! to do with it for that reason. | Senator Reed wanted to know where : “real headquarters” are and who had general direction and management. Hitchcock replied that headquarters | were "where Gen. Wood is." That is generally Chicago, he added. Senator Reed cross-examined Hitch- ] cock and asked about salaries paid em- ! plpyes at Wood headquarters, the t.umber of employes, the size of headquarters., etc. Hitchcock declared he did not know : any of these things. Hitchcock said he knew that the cam--1 paign, which consisted largely of ciri culariztng the country, was "unnecesi sarily large." ! ‘‘lt *was a mistake to have such extensive headquarters,' he paid, “as it took all the money that was given.” EVADES DIRECT QUESTION OF REED. Going back to specific contributions from the Wood headquarters to various states. Hitchcock listed the following. Alabama, $2,500; Massachusetts. $5,000; Vermont, less than $5,000; Pennsylvania, nothing; Connecticut, nothing; Rhode Island, nothing. Reed asked how many paid workers for Wood .were sent out to travel about the country “setting up fences" for Wood. “I don’t favor that, so under me, it wouldn’t be done." CAME LIKE CIRCUS, WHEELING MAN SAYS. I)r. Randolph J. Hersey, Wheeling W. Va., submitted a brief statement of the expenses of Senator Howard Sutherland’s campaign. He said $473 was contributed and $445 of it spent for printing. Mersey was questioned about Wood expenditures in the state. “We wouldn't have bad to spend as much as we did if it had not been for Wood's invasion,*’ be said. "Gross extravagance was Indulged iu on behalf of Wood. “He came into the state just like a circus. “They hired bands and had private street cars to carry Wood speakers from town to town. Angus McSween. Hiram Johnson’s eastern manager, was the next witness. lie submitted a list of coptributors and expenditures. He said the eastern organization consists of three men, a woman and two stenographers. Alexander McCabe, state insurance commissioner of California, bad charge of western headquarters. The contributions, McSween said, totaled $68,130. The largest was from R. B. Strasburger. Morristown. Pa., who gave $27,40). Among other listed w%re (Continued on Two.)
