■HIS ARTIST II PAINTS THEM [ WITH 3 LEGS ction Is the Idea, and One More or Less Doesn’t Matter. Special exhibitions: Collection of paintings by Stephen Haweis. Hours: Week days. 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.; Sundays, 1 p. m. to 9 p. m. Admission: Free Saturdays and Sundays, other days. 25 cents. Teachers and school children free. By KATHLEEN McKEK. A collection of paintings by Stephen Haweis of the modern school of art, which depicts figures in motion will be on exhibition during September at the John Herron Art institute beginning next Sunday. Although a number of artists have experimented in placing action upon the canvass, Haweis is probably the most successful.
All his pieces, with only a few exceptions, portray scenes in the South Sea islands and the West Indies, with which he has been familiar since a child, when he played with relics brought from Tahite by his great grandfather. Moat of the pieces are done In water color, although a few oil paintings are included in the collection. These pictures might be classified into two distinct types—the rational and the irrational. The majority of the paintings classified as “irrational” are scenes of under the sea, in which the arrist endeavors to give the seer a glimpse of fish swimming. He is extremely successful in creating this impression, inasmuch as a feeling of seasickness is almost aroused. In other pictures the effect of locking through broken glass is produced. COLORS ABE BEAUTIFUL. In every instance the colors are very beautiful, although the objects are glaringly inharmonious and seem to be without sense. The flashing by of hundreds of fish, with a resulting effect of a blare of color and falling lights is very cleverly depicted in one picture. Another shows fishermen in boats in Ibe act of catching fish, which arc struggling to free themselves. There are numbers of similar scenes where the action is less pronounced and can be comprehended with more intelligence. The group of pictures showing action of the South Sea natives is perhaps the most interesting feature in the collection. Here Haweis, to produce the atmosphere of action, introduces an additional arm or leg. “The rhythm of concerted movement is the keynote of the Fijian character, music, poetry and history,” he has written in discussing his paintings. Although the sense of consistency revolts against the addition of an arm. it is undeniable that the sensation of motion is created. The spectator may look at one of the pictures of a row of natives possessing three arms, which are being waved to and fro and enter into the spirit of the weird rythmic incantation they are chanting. A large number of paintings in the “rational” classification, showing Haweis to he a master of the brush, afford an interesting study of the natives of the Bahamas anil South sea islands. Three oil paintings of scenes of native huts are very interesting to the visitor. The brilliant colors used make a strikng feature in all his paintings. Off ’ PATIONS OF NATIVE® Tin- dJl'erect occupations of the natives re depleted in numerous pictures, and bit- of scenery and native huts for bu'-V:grounds make interesting studios. Oi.e shows a" half dozen natives their brightly colored gar!\ another shows them loading a mule and still ;m---->ne. their ufode of fishing. A pieture showing a tropical night is of a still different type. Here, the dark blue atmosphere of i lit rests over everything, and deep h ie trees stand out against a still dark- • l.iu- skv and a lon - animal pauses on oee foot gazing toward the jungles. r -up .if well-done pencil portraits also offer evidence of the artist's ability. The.e pictures, which Haweis terms the • rk .f an “interpretive exponent," are in his opinion “the expression of what remains in the memory after continued observation." The originality of the subjects chosen a- 1 the angle of vision which he chooses ti’.nke an interesting study. Undoubtedly his best work Is done In 1 is ttse of arbitrary curves and intersect--1 lines, where he maintains that he has escaped from the influence of Whist>r, Carriere, Boudin and other artists of I lie old School*. How successful the Innovation of ret reductions of motion will l*e Is Impossible to tell at the present time, as the movement is yet In its infancy. Union County School Heads Hold Meeting Special to The Times. LIBERTY, Ind., Sept. 4.—Two former superintendents of schools of Union -ounty met here with Prof. C. C. Abernathy, the present incumbent, in an Informal reception. The two visitors were L. M. Crist of Thorntown, who was county superintendent here from ISTfi to ISSI, and C. W. Osborne of College Corner, who held the office from ISSI to 1007. E. P. Wilson of ConnersvHle, who served in the same capacity from IOOf to 1911, was expected, but failed to arrive. Mr. Crist Is 3-d years old, but Is still alert and keen of mind. He was once owner of the Liberty Herald.
Find Large Still in Basement of House Special to The Times. CLINTON*. Ind., Sept. 4.—Federal agents raided the home of Martin Giordano, at Syndicate, southwest of this city, Friday, and arrested Giordano and John Avenneti, confiscating a sixty-gallon still, "leven barrels of mash, thirty-fire gallons of white mule whisky, 1.200 empty bottles and a quart of bonded whisky, which Giordano claimed he bad had for four years. The still was found in the basement of the house, after the federal men found '•vine raisin refuse floating down a creek draining a sewer which led from the basement. Both men were released under SI,OOO bonds. Enormous Distillery Raided; Seek Owners! BEAVER. Pa., Sept. 4—Federal officers are today looking J?r owners of the largpst moonshine plant ever raided in this state. A complete outfit equal to that of j any legitimate distillery and thousands of gallons of mash were seized in a j lonely mountainous section of this conn- j iy. near the Ohio state line. by government, state and county officers. The moonshiners were absent when their plant was raided. Gasoline was used to bent the mash ! instead if tell-tale wood fires. A pitch flare carried by one of the raiders set Are to tank of gasoline *ad caused a terrific exploalon, injuring three officers.
ATTACKS G. O. P. EXTRAVAGANCE Democratic Nominee Draws Real Contrast. GREENSBURG, Ind., Sept. 4.—Contrasting the administration of Gov. Samuel M. Ralston with that of Gov, Goodrich, Carlton B. McCulloch, democratic nominee for governor, in an address here last night, declared the present republican regime is one of the most extravagant in the history of tne state. The candidate displayed figures showing that Gov. Ralston had left the state free of debt, with a balance in the treasury of more than $3,000,000, but that Goodrich will go out of power leaving ac almost barren exchequer. Dr. McCulloch flayed the taxation legislation undertaken by the repubican administration and reiterated his party pledge to bring about equitable reforms in the application of tax measures.

\ is the first question considered in the purchase of an automobile today. Analyze the word economy and you will then understand why there are so many CHEVROLET cars in use. The CHEVROLET gives big mileage on gasoline and tires. Many owners of large cars are disposing of such car and are purchasing the sturdy CHEVROLET with the snappy valve-in-head motor as a means of economy and satisfaction.

“The democratic party stands for the repeal of the present law and the enactment of a just and equitable one,” said he. “The people may be relied upon to elect senators and representatives to the legislature who will be intefligent and honest men, and who will represent their communities in the framing of a law adequate in the requirements.” “Nothing has more adequately and comprehensively shown the Inefficiency of the present republican administration than the handling of the tax situation in our state,” the doctor continued. “Pause for a moment and recall that under the preceding administration our state, which hud labored under the overhanging debt for eighty-two years, was completely discharged of its obligation. “Gov. Ralston paid off every cent that Indiana owed and left her square with the world. “He did more than this. He turned over to his successor nearly $3,000,000 In the treasury.

foot, and followed the wrong course. They asked to be put In power on the theory that the state had been extravagant. “They will go out of power with the record of the greatest extravagance known in the hiatory of the commonwealth. They will go out of power charged with having dissipated the savings of the preceding administration, and also with having wastefully spent what they themselves collected. “If the right men had led the republican party, they perhapl might have done better, but they were led astray by dreams of power. "They put anew tax law on the statute books which has ayoused the indignation of every taxpayer. It has put a premium on dishonesty and a penalty on right dealing. "It wrb heralded as the greatest achievement of the republican party since the civil war. “It was acclaimed the beat tax law possible under the state law constitution. It has failed miserably In meeting the requirements. “At the bottom of the minds of the men who designed It was a false prin-
ciple. After having announced it as the best possible law they called a specla. session of the legislature to amend and make better what they had already said was the best. “This special session accomplished nothing except to load an expense of $30.000 on the taxpayers. These oppressed Individuals had hoped that some good might come out of this special session. “They have now awakened to the fact that no remedy was really accorded them.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR During all the years the Ford Model T One Ton Truck has been on the market, we have never had one complaint of rear axle trouble. We have had no complaints of motor trouble. As the motor and the rear axle are the vital fundamentals in a motor truck, we have the right to conclude that the Ford One Tt>n Truck has not only met the demands of business, but has done so in a satisfactory and economic way. There fa no other evidence so convincing as that which comes from long practical experience. Ford One Too Trucks are serving along all industrial and commercial lines. You will find them everywhere, if these statements were not facts, the demand for the Ford One Ton Truck would not be as large as it fa, because people are not buying trucks which do not give service. Coupled with the dependability of the Ford One Too Truck in all classes of usage, comes the economy in operation and maintenance. On the farm, in factory delivery, for the merchant, manufacturer, and contractor, in these days of modem business methods, this worm* drive One Ton Ford Truck hus become an actual necessity. Leave your orders with any of the Authorised Dealers mentioned below, and you will be assured of prompt attention.

zontal increases were established under the laah. “The tax rate has already commenced to mount. In Marion county, by way of illustration, the assessed valuation of property was increased 54 per cent. The rate was lowered from $2.09 to $1.60 to counter-balance. "As was generally predicted by all reasonable men, this low rate of $1.60 was the merest subterfuge. The levy for the next year Id Indianapolis will be at least
$2.30, and there are indications of thin being insufficient. “This would be bad enough If the money were economically expended, but it has been wilfully wasted. “We confidently believe that even in the traditionally republican connty of Decatur, a rebuke may be administered to the combination of Goodrich-McCray-Watson et al. "For Mr. McCray is a part of this organization. He has taken over the Goodrich machine.”
Heat Finding Looked for at Early Date Finding of the public service commission on the petition of the Merchants Heat and Light company and the Indianapolis Light and Heat company, for an Increase in rates for hot water and steam heating service, will be made soon, it is expected. Hearing on the petitions were completed late yesterday afternoon, when officials of the Indianapolis Light and Heat company were examined.
