Investigation Shows Cases of Indianapolis Keep Prices Up Despite Low Food Costs With the wholesale price on certain vegetables and fruits at the lowest level they usually touch during the year, because this is the season of plentiful supply, Indianapolis restaurants and hotel cases are serving dishes of them at prices which range from 100 to 1,500 per cent in excess of cost, a survey conducted by the Daily Times during the past two weeks Bhows. The investigation disclosed beyond possibility of refutation that restaurant and hotel keepers almost without exception have not reduced their charges materially since the wholesale prices have fallen to the lowest point.

The outstanding example of this lies in the fact that the Lincoln Hotel aerved a portion of sliced tomatoes, consisting of not more than three whole vegetables, at BO cents. The highest wholesale price quoted on tomatoes of any variety during the past two weeks on Commission Row was $1.50 per bushel. ♦ Commission men say that the average number of tom.Uoes in a bushel is 100, which makes the.-wholesale cost for one, 1 cent. Granting that the Lincoln serves three tomatoes for BO cents, the margin over the wholesale cost Is 47 cents, or 1,566 2-8 per cent. For purposes of best comparison cantelonpes, watermelons, tomatoes, peaches, potatoes and sweet corn were priced. In every instance cited the lowest charge at each restaurant or case has been compared with the highest wholesale price. As Is well known the highest retail prices are to be found in those establishments which furnish musical or cabaret entertainment, part of the higher charge being cheerfully assumed by most patrons because of the frills, which, of course, include better service. However, it was found that cafeterias where the self-jerve custom is in effect were not universally the cheapest places to eat, indicating that some places are able to provide good food and service and sometimes entertainment at reasonable prices and yet make a fair profit.

SURE, MIGHT USE ’EM THEN The city purchasing agent’s office reported today that a well-known company wants to sell the city 54,000 packages of a popular brand of smoking tobacco for 3 cents a package. Nobody around the city hall could imagine what earthly use the city might hare for 54,900 packages of smoking tobacco, until It was suggested that it might be used during the municipal campaign next year for distribution among the "roll their own" cigarette smokers. The tobacco company might decorate the sacks with a photograph of the Jewett administration candidate for' ah extra penny each, it was further suggested HEIER SUCCEEDS IN STALLING CASE Old Methods to Delay Trial Meet With Success. When Fred Heier, former saloon keeper and at one time cell boss over other prisoners at the Marlon County Jail, wants a continuance of bootlegging charges against him in the Marion County Criminal Court, he simply files various methods to cause delay. The record* in the Criminal Court show that Heier was scheduled to go to trial yesterday, but the case was continued by Judge James A. Collins until next Tuesday. Today the records show that Heier made a motion asking for a change of venue, which was overruled because it was not filed within the time limit prescribed. Then Heier asked for a Jury trial, which was granted. It was explained by the clerk of the court that the case would not be tried “next Tuesday," beoause it was a Jury case. Announcement had been made previously that, court would be practically suspended next week because of the G. A. R. encampment. But Heier fete hie continuance Just tbe same. *

Fancy Eastern Cobbler potatoes reached their highest peak of the last two weeks on Sept. 9, when they were selling at $5.50 per 150-pound sack. Potatoes will average four to the pound, which would mean 600 to the 150-pound sack. f The average coct per "spud” then would be slightly more than nine-tenths of a cent. At most of the cheaper places they will serve usually one and never more than two potatoes. At the more exclusive places the allotment Is more generally two and sometimes three par portion.

ILLINOIS TOGA HEAT RESULTS STILL IN DOUBT McKinley Leads in Republican and Waller in Democratic Contests. CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Republican and Democratic nomination* for United State* senator from lUtnola remain In doubt today as the count of ballcta east lu Wednesday's primaries nears completion, The issue as to other nominations for major offices In the State apparently is settled. Congressman William B. McKinley of Champaign holds a lead today over Congressman Frank L. Smith of Dwight lot the Republican senatorial nomination. Returns from 5,200 precinct* out of 5.737 In the State girt McKinley 322,91* votes and Smith 317,005, a plurality foi Ms Kin ley of 5,217 votes. An official count may be necessary to decide this tight. The Democratic senatorial fight Is even closer. Latest available returns show that Peter A. Waller, wealthy manufacturer, holds a lead of 172 vote* ever Robert Emmett Burke, the only Democrat who cast a vote against President Wilson's renomlnatlon at St. Louis In 1910. ' Burke ran rut an out and out antiLeague of Nations candidate. With James Hamilton Lewis, former United States Senator, safely the Democratic nominee for Governor, It is practically assured that Len Small of Kankakee, will be his Republican opponent In the November election. Returns from 5,056 preclnts give Small 358.268 votes to 325.840 for Lieut. Gov. John G. Oglesby. Small's plurality le 13,422 Chicago gave Small a plurality of approximately 90,000 votes and Oglesby's strength In the "downstate" districts apparently wag not sufficient to overcome this lead. Only one Republican Congressman from Illinois has failed of renomlnatlon on the face of returns today. William E. Mason and Richard Yates, Congressmen-at-Large, were renominated, but Congressman Neils Juul was defeated by M. A. Mlchaelson, a former Chicago alderman. “Uncle Joe” Cannon defeated TO. B.

GOV. COX SAYS REACTION WILL STOP PROGRESS Senatorial Oligarchy and Designing Interests Given Severe Jolt. TOURS JOHNSON’S STATE SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 17.—Speaking in the home city of Senator Hiram Johnson, Gov. James M. Cox today predicted If the “reuetionary senatorial oligarchy gains control of tha Government in this campaign, It will so manipulate the power of patronage that progressive Republicans will soon be compelled to join another party or form one of their own." Cox asserted if progressive Republicans "inclining naturally to tbe Idealism of Roosevelt," were to stay In the party they would be compelled "to surrender to official representatives of big business." PARTY OBLIGATED TO DESIGNING INTERESTS. "Never were so many obligations to designing interests being assumed by the party of reaction as In this xampalgn,” he aald. It was Cox’s first speech of his fourday tour of California. He declared that on many questions other than international relations Johnson and he had a “common view." He praised Johnson's progressive and straightforward attitude, stating he and the senator fought reaction In Ohio and California. "The best guarantee to the future of the country will be the prevalence of progressive principles In the policies of the two leading political parties," Cox declared. t “But Senator Harding himself has said that if Progressives of 1913 came back to the party they would have to come on their hands and knees." Cox then quoted Johnson as hsvlng said after the Chicago convention that ho preferred defeat to nomination in a hotel room by representatives of big business. "Roosevelt,” he saidt "msdo the same fight In 1912 as Johnson did in 1020, but both were humiliated.” , He added: "I am unable to see bv what process of reasoning a political party which has given to Ross Barnes <>f New York distinct status.of leadership lu this campaign can expect progressive friends of ltoosevelt and Johnson to give it support. "In the language of Roosevelt he was the connecting link between crooked business and crooked politics. GOING BACK TO “NOHMALITT." "Doubtless the return to Barnes Is another evidence of going back to ’normality,' to the times of Hanna and Boss Tweed, when public officers vurreue.ered themselves as puppets to financial Interest* because of service rendered durtn* tbe campaign. ’•(,'nder ths belief that disturbed eon ditlons following war make political vl.-tory certain methods are followed at. blusbingly and without concealment ” "It is true," continued Governor Cox, "and It would be futile to deny It, that there are many Cranes, Smoots and representatives of Morgan A Cos. who abrogate to themselves the right of selection of candidates, nothwtthstandinr srnst | may be decreed by the people themselves.

GUARD ALL U.S. BUILDINGS; NEW ATTACK FEARED Federal Agents Abandon All Theories of Accident in Gotham Blast. RED ROUNDUP STARTED WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Federal special agents today were convinced the explosion in the New York financial district was the result of a bomb plot. The conviction, it was learned, was based on the character of the explosion and on evidence and fragmentary warnings coming to officials for some time that some such attempt was expected. Theories that the explosion may have j been an accident have been abandoned here and officials today had taken steps to hunt out the perpetrators of the disaster and prevent a possible repetition. The Department of Justice was checking up on radicals throughout the country and one man here was questioned. The treasury, White House and other public buildings have been put under i extra guard. Many of the Government departments were lending aid to the Department of Justice in Its investigation. The Military Intelligence Bureau is inj ves tigat:i:g and the Department of Agriculture has assigned its explosives expert !o work of finding the character of the blast. The military intelligence, it was understood, has intimation that an outbreak of some sort might be expected along v.ith radical demonstrations In European countries. These intimations have also been communicated to the Department of Justice. " ken William .T. Flynn yesterday re- | reived word of the explosion, be is said to have remarked: ! “What we expected has happened ” ’ f*r as known tbe man questioned j here, a waiter, is the first to be taken ' in tbe radical hunt. Federal officials did not consider there was sufficient evidence to hold the man, but he Is being carefully watched. A small quantity of explosives would have been sufficient to produce many < • deaths in narrow Wall street. Dr. Charles E Mt.uroe, Interior Department expert, pointed out here today.

HAMILTON, Ontario, Sept 17—Mental telepathy was offered as the explanation of Edward P. Fischer’s warning jof the Wall street explosion in New York by Robert A. Pope, Fischer’s brother-in-law, who caused bis arrest j here today. Pope declared Fischer was not In New | York yesterday when the explosion oc--1 curred. | Pope had Fischer arrested on a charge of insanity sftr their arrival here this morning from Niagara Falls, N. Y. Fischer was arrested in the offices of attorneys in the Bank of Hamilton Building. Pope, in a statement to authorities, said Fischer’s mental condition was not normal, and for three weeks during which Fischer sent out warnings of the Wall street disaster his mind was In a pej cnliary receptive condition. With his mind thus sensitized, Pope | said, be was especially receptive to men- ; tal suggestion from others. His mentality Intercepted the thought waves of those guiltily connected with the explosion, according to Pope's theory. With ills mind filled with these interceptlve thoughts. Fischer worried about friends who might he harmed and warned them. Pope believed. Pope said Fischer predicted the disaster to him three weeks ago, and st that time wrote friends in the financial | district of New York, warning them of what was to take place. Pope supplied the police with the story jof Fischer’s activities during the last three weeks. He had been subject to 1 spells of mental depression, Pope said, j and hl relatives feared he was on the 1 Terge of a nervous breakdown, f They sought to persuade him to go to | the North woods for a rest, but he re!fused. Pope asserted Fischer did not come in contact with anarchists and he did not | believe It possible he had met any per- ' sons who would have had knowledge of the bomb plot. He then advanced the theory of mental | telepathy. \

CLOCK MECHANISM IS PRINCIPAL CLEW IN SLEUTHS’ HANDS Federal, State and New York City Authorities Work Desperately to Run Down ' Infernal Machine Plotters. ARREST MADE BY CANADIAN POLICE NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Part of the mechanism of a clock, found In a heap of debris in front of the United States Subtreasury today, provided the principal clew on which the Federal, State and city authorities are working desperately to run down the plotters who exploded the TNT bomb in Wall street, wrecking the offices of J. Pierpont Morgan & Cos. killing and fatally wounding 38. Secret service agents and officials of the police department and the district attorney’s office said the finding of a pars of clockworks confirms the theory that terrorism by anarchists was responsible for the blast. With all public buildings and churches and the residence of J. P. Morgan in this city under heavy guard, a nation-wide search is being made to run down the plotters.

The clockworks are being studied by j experts to determine their manufacture and source. An arrest has been made, the New York police department announced at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon. Police officials said they had been advised that Edward Fischer, whose name was signed to a warning received by a brokerage firm employe on Wednesday, had been arrested at Hamilton, Ontario. ACCOMPANIED BY BROTHER-IN-LAW. | Fischer was accompanied to Hamilton, Ontario, from Niagara Falls by his brother-in-law, Robert Pope of New York. According to the police. Pope asked the authorities there to take Fischer la charge. Fischer la being held for deportation, the police announced. Ha is said by the Canadian authorities to be of unsound mind, and. consequently, Ineligible to enter the country or remain In it under the Canadian emigration laws. After. more than twenty-four hours the best detective brains of America are baffled in their search for the terrorists held responsible for the explosion. Tbe United States Secret Service joined bauds with the police and detectives from the District Attorney's office in the greatest manhunt tbe United States has ever known. The autboriiea now agre that the explosion was caused by a time bomb which exploded a vast qunntit yof TNT and possibly au auxiliary bomb of picric acid. Experts reported to Chief Police Inspector William J. Lalley that the infernal machine must have contained from 200 to 500 pounds of TNT. , The heavy iron slugs, which spread $2,500,000 damage to property and wounded from 200 to 300 persons In addition to those Instantly killed, are believed to have been fastened to the outside of the infernal machine in a sort of Jacket. METAL FOUND ON ROOF. Some of the metal was picked up today on the roof of the United States Subtreasury Building, across Wail street from J. P. Morgan & Cos. A grand Jury investigation of the outrage was begun this afternoon. Judge Wadhams issued special instructlous to the September term grand Jurors to Investigate every phase of the disaster. "I have established to my own satisfaction that a bomb arranged with mechanism to explode at a fixed time caused the explosion," said Chief .William J. Flynn of the Secret Service, this afternoon. “We have learned that a man who answers the description of the driver of the bomb wagon waj seen four blocks from the disaster at the time of the blast.” This was the flret revelation that the Government authorities have a description of the wagon driver. V It dispelled a report that one of the unidentified dead men probably was the driver of the explosives wagon. NO LITERATURE IS FOUND. After a thorough search of the debris the police and firemen announced that no trace of any anarchistic literature had been found. The two men who drove the one-horse truck, carrying the most powerful Infernal machine ever devised in this country, disappeared in the Wall street crowds as completely as though the earth had opened and swallowed them. Other Important links have been forged In the chain of evidence to prove that conspirators carefully planned the outrage.

Ths police have learned that warnings of a catastrophe In the financial district wers received by at least two persons. One- of these came to Lieutenant Arnaud, chief of the French High Commission, on Wednesday. The other was received by George F. Ketchledge, an employe of the brokerage I firm of B. F. Schwartz & Cos., at No. 2 j Broadway, also on Wednesday.
