Burns & Smith. Inc. Denny Bush’s Fame Some men are born famous and others achieve- fame. In the latter clasß is Dennis J. Bush, more commonly known as Denny and more recently In court as Mr. Casey. Denny rose from obscurity to political affluence as the head of a city department that became notorious for its padded pay rollsHe was the central figure in a prosecution in Criminal Court and in the Federal Court when he attracted attention to himself as one of the best of the type of outcasts known in police parlance as a “squawker.” Denny was indicted so many times in criminal court for felonies that it is doubtful if he knows now how many times. H<a was convicted once, about four years ago and the appeal of his case became famous as the oldest pending case on the Supreme Court docket. Recently the Supreme Court ruled against Denny on his appeal and there is a presumption that some day Denny will lend his famous presence to the penal farm. In the meanwhile Denny has been for many, many months the leading spirit and prime mover in the race horse betting which has been unmolested in this city ever since Denny formed a consolidation o* numerous interests and lent the illegal industry his benign protection. When Mr. Bush was not engaged in taking bets on the horse races contrary to the laws of Indiana, he sauntered gracefully around the board of works, or about the police station where he was frequently in consultation with George V- Coffin, former chief of police. A few days ago the Times turned over to Chief Kinney several letters from irate citizens complaining about the abandon with which Denny ran the race horse pool in this city. Sergeant George "Winkler raided Denny's gambling emporium and’ Denny was caught with the books. He was permitted to slate himself as J. J. Casey and his case was continued in the police court. Yesterday he appeared in the private office of the judge of the city court by his counsel, James E. Deery, former police judge and a prospective candidate for mayor, and “arrangements” are made by which a special session of the police court was held during the noon hour and Denny, the lone defendant at this session, was permitted to plead guilty, pay a fine of *25 and go back to the business of taking bets on the races if he so desires. And his desires are well known. No effort is made by the police to close his place of doing business as a gambling house. No effort is made to bring a charge against Denny that might result in a jail sentenceDenny is turned loose after having received about every consideration that could possibly be shown to a well-established gambler and, tacitly at least, is invited to continue preying on the poor fools who waste their money in the gambling game that Denny utilizes for a living. And at the same time that Denny was undergoing the delightful reception in the police court, Mayor Charles W. Jewett was retaining in his personal care several documents for which the examiners of the State board of accounts searched valiantly when they were Interested In discovering just how much money escaped illegally from the city treasury when Denny was signing the pay rolls. Indianapolis will never be a clean city until such privileged parasites as Denny Bush are invited to get beyond its boundaries. The Indianapolis police force will not be functioning as it Bhould until its members understand that there are nq influences sufficient to protect such men as Bush in open violations of the gambling laws. Bush continues, as he has throughout the whole administration, to be a wholly undesirable law-breaking citizen. It is a sad commentary on our government that such a character is so powerful that he may with impunity defy the whole of the law enforcement machinery of the city, county and State.
On Pies The approach of Thanksgiving season suggests pumpkin pie and this leads to considerable serious reflection. Someone said that all pies were divided like Caesar’s Gaul, into three parts, covered, uncovered and slatted. Now the classification is ante-dated and we have only covered and uncovered, home-made and purchased. Nothing in the menu takes the place of a piece of good pie. This is an American dish, served three times a day by our New England ancestors and now considered such a luxury that once a week is sufficient for grown-up appetites and once a month for kids. ‘ Two reasons contributed to the outlawing of this delicious dish. One was the high price, of which more may be said later, the other was the Introduction of the electric iron. When the clothes washing was ironed over the wood or coal fire, it was customary to bake a pie or two with the same heat Now it is not necessary to start a range fire and so the poor pie has suffered —most unjustly, too. Originally, the proper manner of serving pie was in quarters. Through no fault of the pie, it became the custom to cut it in six pieces and then eight pieces. Now, in any popular restaurant, one-eighth of a 30-cent pie can be obtained for 10 to 15 cents by the hungry, provided the cah is paid when the pie is taken ofT the counter. This tends toward moderation. Once apple pie was served with cheese. There is no such thing now. It is hoped that cheese may again become vogue, especially when served with pie, for its effect was wholesome and its mission good. The Government has started no board of inquiry upon the high price of pie, ,it having been overlooked in the hurry of legislation. Bome have urged such an inquiry but wiser counsel prevailed and the example of the sugar price board has been such that some hesitancy developed over employing high priced politicians on such work- It will be noted that now that sugar is purchasable in unlimited quantities at moderate prices —twice the pre-war cost —the Government has disbanded those who were fighting for the rights of the common people. However, where once a piece of pie and a cup of coffee constituted lunch, it does so no more. When the price of a cup of coffee was raised to more than 5 cents, something brought it down again with a thud. The price of pie, however, continued to go up, it doubled, then it added another 100 per cent and then the pieces grew smaller in size, so it doubled again in price. J If any one doubts that pie is a luxury, let him take a pencil and figure it up. If he thinks there is no profiteering in pie, let him go to a restaurant and order a piece. Then he will probably meet a restaurant keeper who will tell him that selling for four times the cost is not criminal.
The Housing Danger It seems that the Poles have been obliged to meet the housing problem at their capital arising from a most acute condition. In Warsaw the military forces have commandeered all rooms in private dwellings in which to bouse the surplus population. That city has doubled in population since the war and in addition there are thousands of Russian prisoners who must be cared for. Only three rooms will be allowed for a family with children regardless of the wealth or social position of the family. In this city the situation, of course, is not bo acute, but it is bad enough. Rental clerks simply smile when asked for an apartment. As many as fifty or sixty disappointments are handed over the counter a day. It is practically impossible to obtain an apartment in Indianapolis unless an extremely high price is paid. If the home is the foundation of the nation, as is maintained by so many eminent authorities, it becomes necessary for the nation to cease disregarding the comfort of the underdog who has no home and who lives in a room or two when he and his family should possess a house where they could live with some of the comforts of life. In the olden times the Indians used to first torture the children before the parents, then torture the wife and finally the father, and in their cruelty they enjoyed the agony inflicted on the parents by the child’s suffering. So it seems to the renter of today, with his family uncomfortable. By forcing parents to live under such adverse circumstances, society is working an injustice on the family and is sowing seed of discontent deeper and more broadcast than it realizes. The Polish Government may the situation for a while, efforts here may do some good, but until, ■e get a home for a family and a little plot of ground or until apartments Jw'hich the occupants may be happy are provided, there is darker. m

CHAPTER XCV. “I’m not very inquisitive, Anne. I don't believe I’ve even the normal amount of curiosity. Take those flowers, now. I Just accept them. So with Phoebe. She thinks I haven’t treated her very well. Nothing I say could convince her that it right for me to send Neal’s ring back to him. But I don’t probe into her little ways of working off her resentment. It will all come right.” I felt a little snubbed. But I was of a sudden too sorry for Virginia to mind how she hurt me. What a way she had staying on the surface of things, of refusing to examine below the outer glaze of human emotions. I determined for once to make a stand against her and to put my feelings into words, j “Virginia, you must wonder who cares ! enough for you, who know* enough I about you, to send those wonderful flow- : ers,” I Insisted. Virginia’s face crimsoned and for a ! second I thought I saw a mist of tears !in her eyes. Then she turned to me ' haughtily: ‘‘lf I can accept them. Anne, don’t you think yon might? And about Phoebe, please don’t ngltate yourself unnecessarily—l’va managed her for a good many years—l know her.” "Meaning—please keep your bands off and mind your own business, Anne.” I replied, with rancor at Virginia for pulling down the blinds again and shutting | me out from the house of her life. With a deprecating smile on her lips and both her hands held out almost in pleading, Virginia started across the room to me. Was she going to say she was sorry-were we going to find each other at last?
HOROSCOPE ’’The stars Incline, but do not compel.” TIirRSDAY, NOV. 11. This should be a fortunate day, according to astrology, for Saturn, the Sun and Mercury are all In beneflr aspect. It is a time when experience should count for much. There is a sign that seems to Increase respect for tradition and to encourage a certain reactionary tendency. There Is a star that warns the white race to take count of its place in the great world scheme of things. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of fair success if they attend strictly to business and avoid travel or change. Children born on this day may present certain problems of temperament, but they are likely to possess extraordinary power to develop fine ambitions that lead to success.—Copyright, 1920.

And then Phoebe darted into the room —her eyes ablaze —her body quivering. "Virginia Dalton!” she cried. “Virginia Dalton —who do you tr.lnk nent those flowers? I called up Longley. the florist, not long distance, as that stupid maid seemed to think” —she stumbled over the words a bit, but before Virginia could stop her, c she went rushing on. “The clerk said the man who bought those flowers was very young and handsome, but hHd gray hair—she noticed particularly—and blue eyes Pat —it was Pat Vee—what do you say to that?” For a minute it seemed as if a flame had been lighted in the slim temple of Virginia's body. Then the light went out darkly and left her gray. “Phoebe—bow dare you! How dare you intrude on my privacy?” she cried in a thin, harsh voice. “Go to your room at once—at once!” "Won’t—if I don't like. I’m not a baby to be ordered around and humiliated before Anne,” stormed Phoebe. Virginia smiled remotely. “Indeed? You don’t hesitate to pry ■ into my affairs and discuss the results of your spying before Anne." I "Oh, I bet she knew it was Pat all I along. Who’d give him your address but I Anne? I saw ’em coming out of the Clinsurge together one day not so long ago,” cried Phoebe trlmphantly.—Copyright, 1920. (To Be Continued.)
PUSS IN BOOTS JR. —— By David Cory.It was very lucky that Mr. Ulysses had that reliable Grapbaphone on board ship, for If it hadn’t been for the music I guess those tired sailors would never have retched land. For they were ao tired rowing that when they landed on the beautiful green island I mentioned In the story before this, they had to lie down on the *and and go to sleep for twenty-three minutes. But if they had known what they were going to find on the island I’m sure they wouldn't have slept at ail, but would have Jumped back into the boat and rowed away. You see. this Island was owned by a wicked magician, who was a daughter ot the Sun. Yes, she had a magic wand and when ahe touched any one with It. he turned into a pig. Wasn't that dreadful. Now, Mr. Ulysses wasn’t going to ake any chances this time, although, ot course, he didn’t know what you and I know So he sent forward some of his men in charge of an officer to find out who lived on the Island, and by and by they came to a palace, and all of a sudden they were surrounded by Ilona and tigers. But these animals were very
tame, for they had once been men and had been changed into animals by the wicked daughter of the Sun. And then through the palace windows came the sound of a sweet voice. So the officer sailor called out and the Daughter of the Sun came ont of her palace and Invited them in and gave them a wonderful dinner. And after that she touched them with her wand, all except the sailor officer, who ran back to the ship. And, oh, dear me. All the sailors she touched with her magic wand turned into pigs, and she shut them up In styes and fed them on acorns and other things which pigs love. And as soon as Mr. Ulysses heard ths news he and Puss set out for the castle to rescue their friends, and on the way Puss met a little messenger boy named Mercury, who had wings on his feet to make him swift to deliver telegrams and boxes of candy, for when Puss told him what had happened the wise little messenger boy said he knew of a little plant that had a magic power, and he ran off and got a sprig and gave it to Puss. And then Puss and Mr. Ulysses hurried up to the castle, and after he and Puss had dined with the Daughter of the Bun, Puss touched her with the magic sprig, and said: “If you don’t change our sailor boys back into their natural shapes I'll kill you with my sword.” And she was so frightened because the magic sprig made her powerless, you know, to work further harm, that she went out and changed the sailors back into their natural forms. And then gave Mr. Ulysses some good advice and directed them to their home. For on the *ay there they had to pass some beautiful Islands where lived a band of sea nympths, who sang such lovely songs that sailors couldn’t pass by without landing on the islands, which were surrounded by sharp rocks that broke their boats all to pieces. And in the next story you shall hear what Mr. Ulysses did so os not to hear those lovely songs of the Sirens, which was the name of these cruel sea nympths. —Copyright, 1920. (To be continued.)
