INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1920.

TRUCK WRECKS CAR CARRYING TAGGART PARTY Crashes Into interurban at 86th Street—Driver Fatally Hurt. ONE PASSENGER IS tJURT One man was fatally injured and another was seriously Injured when tho interurban car, on which Thomas Taggart, Democratic candidate for United States Senator, and a number of campaign speakers were coming to Indianapolis, was wrecked at Eighty-sixth street and College avenue at noon today. The car was wrecked when it was struck directly In the center by a heavy truck loaded with logs. Tho driver of the truck, who has not been positively identified, died in an ambulance while he was being taken to the City Hospital. Papers found* in his pockets Indicate hla mime Is Ollle Boone, but his address has not been determined. The man is described as being of unusually large stature and to be about 55 years old. The body waa taken to the dty morgue. The other injured man i Emmet Colvin, 26, of Kokomo, who suffered a badly twisted back. Colvin waa a passenger on the Interurban car. Tho car, which waa well filled with passengers, was traveling at a rate of fifry miles an hour when It was struck by the truck. There was a crash and the car left tbe rail ft. Upping far over to one aide, and coming dangerously near turning over.

The passengers were thrown In the aisles and women became hysterical. Mr. Taggart waa one of the first men on his feet and Immediately attempted to quiet tho other passengers. He left the car as soon ss possible and was one of the first to assist the injured men, A portion of the center of the car was demolished. After It left the ralla the Interurban ran a distance estimated et 130 feet before It stopped. Immediately following the wrecked car was another interurban and a more serious accident was averted when E Y. Denny, 2211 North Dearborn street, ran up the tracks and flagged the approaching car. The Taggart party included L. Ert Mack, former United State* district attorney, and Charles Hughes, candidate for treasurer of State, and two newspaper men. The accident waa caused, It Is believed, by a cornfield which obstructed the view of the track. Tho occupant of the track was thrown about eeventy-five feet and the truck entirely demolished. Wire* were tom down by the accident, causing considerable delay In sending for help. Following the accident the Taggart party came the remainder of the way by automobile. Mr. Taggart spoke at Huntington last nigbt and he, with tboee who accompanied him, went to Peru by Intenmrban this morning, changing for the car coming to Indianapolis. 11. C. Bryles, Thirty Eighth street and Central aTemie, was the conductor of the car and William De Mott, 1804 Prospect street, was the niotorman.

Gas official* stale they will petition the Public Service Commission for an Increase til the Indianapolis gas rote from 00 cents to 90 cents per 1,000 Cubic feet. Gustav G. Schmidt, president of the city council, will week to have the city council Inaugurate a sweeping probe Into the ga-> situation to ascertain, among other things. If J. D.

Equipment for the production of coke and other by-products added by the company to satisfy the war demands of the Government, Is so out of balance with the gas producing and delivering equipment that it will take approximately .$2,500,000 to moke additions which will result in foil gas producing efficiency. RAISE QUESTION AS TO ISSUE. If this tre.Aoo.ooo Is obtained through the sale of #1.000,000 worth of stock, and floating of $1,500,000 worth of bonds the company's gas producing power should be increased 50 per cent, •or to a capacity of approximately

The tour, which began with a meeting In Anderson Tuesday, ended last night with one of the largest political rallies ever *tsgcd in tluatingtou. Tbe Huntington meeting wss preceded by a prosperity parade which consisted of setenty-five automobiles, loaded with Democrats of the county, who rnado a tour of the county, bolding meeting* In every village along the route.

Rooster Saves Gov. Cox's Train WICHITA. Kan., Oct I.—The rooster, symbol of tho Cox campaign and traditionally “guardian of the Jimmy Cox luck," was credited today with having eaved the Democratic candidate from what might hare been a serlons accident. As the Governor’s train was about to be delivered by the Snnte Fe railroad to the Rock Island at Wichita, trainmen heard a rooster crowing. They found the bird perched upon the trucks of the "Federal,” the Governor’s private car. The rooster led the trainmen directly to a weak spot In the flanges on the wheels of the "Federal," which were so badly w’orn that railroad officials refuted to accept tho car until the flanges had been replaced.

15,000,000 cubic feet per day within a year or eighteen months. The gas officials state they fear they cannot raise this amount and make the Improvements, which would include another 5,000,009 cubic feet capacity, unless they receive the rate increase, because financial interests will refuse to buy securities. In spite of the fact that the company has added to its equipment approximately $2,000,000 worth of Improvements since Jan. 1, 1910, the gas producing capacity has been Increased only between 10 to 15 per cent. CITIZENS PUT SOME QUESTIONS. Citizens present asked why It is that they cannot buy coke direct from the company, but must buy It through the Domhoff-Joyce Company. Gas officials answered that the overhead of maintaining a sales organization Is eliminated In this manner. President George Letnaux of the board of works opened the conference by starting to road a aeries of qnstlons which he had prepared, but before two or three of the questions had been asked the confesenee developed Into a free-for-all discussion In which not only the board members and John R.

DAVIS WANTS TO KNOW WHY NO TRIAL HELD Says Responsibility for Trying Sheriff Rests With the Prosecutor. Reviewing tba record of Sheriff Robert F. Miller, Paul G. Davis, candidate for Marlon County prosecutor, demanded to know, In a speech at Harrison and Pine streets iast night, why the sheriff U not tried In Criminal Court on the Indictment in connection with the Marion County jail scandal. Mr. Davis said: “On Dec. 28, 1918. Judge Anderson ordered Judge Collins to expurgate the records of *he Marion Criminal Court of a sentence Imposed by Judge Collini to ran concurrently with a sentence of tho Federal Court, then being served by Bob Sltmne, s notorious bootlegger. Judge Anderson then said to the county prosecutor: “ ‘lt was a farce, a mere farce. “In other vor.l* :he judge of the Criminal Court *at u; there and he knew and yon knew that thirty days in Jail under an arraignment of that kind was a farce. t “’I haven’t any objection, except as a citizen, to the Criminal Court being made a mere puppet show, but when they attempt to Interfere with this court It Is a different mat’er. “•It’s difficult to convince people, exceedingly difficult to convince people that a ninety-day Jail sentence means ninety days. “ ‘They try to get made trusties, or to get out to go liome and see tbelr families, -or work political pulls. ••‘But I'll show them that ninety daya la ninety days. •• ’This man Is a notorious criminal, and yon know It and Judge Colllna knows it, and yet he gets special favors. “'Unless that sentence oTcr there la set aside, until the sentence of this court has expired, then I'll take steps to punlab you for contempt of court. “ 'lt's a significant fact to my way of thinking that hern Is a man who lg on the same side of tho political fence at the jailer and that he gete these favors and arrangement by which he was brought out of Jail and into the Criminal Court and given a sentence, the net resnlt of which is that he Is only ostensibly ser-lng time.' “Now I would like to ask why It Is that the Republican sheriff who Is under Indictment In the Marion Criminal Court In connection with the Marlon County Jail scandal, at a result of the disclosures made by th investigations of Judge Anderson In the Federal Court, has not been tried and will not be tried before the election ? “On Aug. 22, 1919, the Times published a letter signed by a number of Jail prls(Continued on Page Fifteen.)

JOY RIDER’TRIO SENTENCED FOR 8 AUTO THEFTS Two 16-Year-01d Boys Admit Stealing Cars ‘Just for a Good Time.’ SAFE ROBBERY STAGED Details of the experiences of three young men, two still In their teens, who broke into garages far the purpose of stealing automobiles in which to satisfy their desire for speed and a good time, were disclosed today by John Palmer, 16; Milton Wimberley, 10, and Waiso Adams, 27, In the Marion County Criminal Court. Apparently not realizing that reformatory doors were swinging wide open for them, the three young men appeared wholly unconcerned when pleading guilty to charges growing out of the theft of eight automobiles. Tho confessions of Palmer and WlmberJey illustrate the extremes to which misguided beys resort for a few hours of excitement. NOT THIEVES, JUST “JOT RIDING” YOUTHS. The three defendants apparently thought It was to their credit that they did not steal the machines to sell, but merely for the purpose of a Joy ride. Generally they wrecked the cars or left them on a country road. City Detective William Rugensteln informed the court that only four of the eight machines stolen had been recovered. Counsel for the defendants attempted to lay emphasis on the statement of Palmer and Wimberley that they did not steal the cars for the purpose of selling them. The confession of John Palmer, 17, shows the methods used by Palmer, Adams and Wimberley in their career of auto stealing and wrecking the cars. According to Palmer's signed confession, which was introduced as evidence and read by Judge James A. Collins, Palmer, Adams and Wimberley on the night of June 13 last broke a lock on a garage at 206 North Holmes avenue and then pushed a Ford out Into the alley. Following a joy ride the car was abandoned. On June 20, Adams and Palmer stole a Reo roadster from a gsmge In the rear of 2663 Parkway boulevard, and after taking a Joy ride left It standing in a road, according to Palmer's confession. BREAK INTO SAFE AND STEAL sl7. Just six days later, Adams and Palmer stole a Paige sedan in the 3000 block on North Capitol avenue, and. according to Palmer's confession, they invited Elmer Eddy, a more boy, to ride with them. The three drove to Klchardtou’s garage at Mooresvllle, Ind., and while Eddy sat In the stolen car Palmer and Adams (Continued on Page Two.) ANDERSON CALLS IN STRIKE CHIEFS All Hincher Case Defendants Must Appear, He Says. With the warning that all defendants In the case of Alonzo Clark and others, charged with contempt of court, will be forced to appear, United States District Judge A. B. Anderson today set the hearing of the case for 10 o'clock Thursday morning. Oct. 14. As the result of an Information which charges contempt of court, filed several months ago, Alonzo Clark, William Clark, James F. Padgett, William Walker, James Gilmore, John Rutherford, Mike McGinnis, Mike Klnsella. Thomas .Tack man. William S. McCafferty, William A. Wallace, Charles Whitcomb and Frank LSndley, members of the Central Labor Union at Washington, were ordered to appear In Federal Court today to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court through alleged violations of r. restraining order Issued in the case of Samuel F. Rosenheln of New Y'ork against the Hincher Manufacturing Company and others. Evidence introduced during tbe hearing of the original cause stated that Alonzo Clark and other defendants had employed violent methods to enforce demands for Increased pay In the plant of the Hincher company. The court enjoined them from intimidating other employes or using other unlawful means to further the strike. The defendants are said to have violated the order of the court In making threats against persons who continued to work. When the case came before tbe com It was found that the defendants had prepared an argument of dental to the charges. William Walker, one of the defendents, was In New York, according to his attorney who stated that Walker could prove his Innocence and thought upon that ground he would not be needed. The court stated that he was not satisfied with the evasive answer of the defendents, and that all of them would have to be present at the bearing. “Mr. Walker will have to appear If I have to issue a process to get him here," he said.
