Prisoners Delight in Shooting Craps at Police Station Games Go on Unmolested in Cellrooms at Headquarters. “Gome on boys, get happy," called out a negro in a cellrootn at po'ice headquarters today. ‘l'll shoot a nickel. Who will fade me?" He twisted a brown derby hat to one side of his head and rolled a pair of “galloping dominoes” across the concrete floor of the room. “Watch out white man, get your feet off the table,” ordered the gambler, as one of 'the white prisoners got too close to the craps game. "Dime I shoot," he called, as he picked up the dice and pushed out a nickel and five pennies. “Man, I would shoot dice with the President of the United States if he would fade me.” At that instant the game was interrupted. A janitor arrived tn the rear of the eellroom and the crap shooters began handing him money with which to purchase tobacco, pie and other articies they wished for breakfast. “How about those fellows? Don't they wish something special?" asked the Janitor. “Oh, no." replied the man with the brown derby and the dice. “The money is bunched now and there are only about six of us that have any cash.” “Come on white folks and black folks, get happy. You are in for gambling, cutting and stealing, so get happy and fade ino." he stng out as he rolled the dice across the eellroom floor. IRISH LEADER IS BAFFLING SLEUTH PACK Tangible Clews as to De Valera's W hereabouts Still Are Lacking. LONDON. Jan. 3.—Tangible clews as to the exact whereabouts of Eamonn de Valera, the elusive “President of the Irish Republic,” still were lacking today and the morning newspapers were tilled with speculative stories. The Central News correspondent at Londonderry telegraphed that belief is prevalent there that De Valera landed on the Donegal coast, which is wild and desolate, affording many fine localities for concealment. Mi;s. De Valera, at her home in Greystones, has been besieged by reporters since official announcement was made in New York that her husband had arrived in Ireland. She admitted >he had received hundreds of letters and posl cards from her husband while he was in the United States. Asked jf -he had re ceived any word from him since his return. she smiled as she answered; “1 would rather not say." Some of Mrs. De Valera's friends believe she not only has heard from ber husband but also has seem him. Wherever he is it is certain De Valera is engaged on peace. There is ground for belief that t.e has been conferring with the most influential leaders of the Irish republic movement since his return. Although t lie morning newspapers printed no editorial continent on the official reprisals of the British military authorities, in the vicinity of Cork, for tile ainl)iiseadeß of British policemen near Midleton, surprise and condemnation wore voiced in headlines over the dispatcio-s. WAREHOUSE BURNED AT MANCHESTER LONDON, Jan. 3.—A big warehouse at Manchester was set on fire early today and the authorities began an investigation on the theory that Sinn Felners were responsible, said a Central News dispatch from Manchester. A party of men was seen loitering near another Manchester warehouse and when challenged opened fire, wounding a policeman.

Adams of Wabash, who was re • elected reporter of the Supreme Court, ! will start his second term Jan. 13^ Loud talking Leads to Finding of ‘Mule’ Loud talking in the ‘flat below caused Policewoman Mae Rupert, S3l North Pine street, to investigate today. She learned enough to cause her to call Lieutenant j Winkler who responded with two patrol- ; men. Asa resnlt of the visit by the police William Allison, who occupies the rooms i below those of the policewoman, was ar- ; rested on a charge of operating a blind | tiger. Three half pints of “mule” were j found In his overcoat and four half pints | in a suit case. Miss Rupert had been off duty Vor j several days because of illness when she > discovered the "tiger.” King Constantine 111 of Bronchitis LONDON, Jan. 3.—King Constantine I of Greece, who recently returned to j Athens from Lucerne, Switzerland, is ill from bronchitis, said an Exchange tele- ; graph dispatch from Athens today. The j attack, however, was described as a light' one.

HOLDS BOYCOTT OF MACHINISTS AS CONSPIRACY Supreme Court Decides in Duplex Printing Company Case. TEST OF CLAYTON ACT WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—The Supreme Court today held that the international Association of Machinists, in calling a strike at the plant of the Duplex Printing Press Company, Battle Creek, Mich., and refusing to set up its presses in all parts of the country, was a “conspiracy in restraint of interstate commerce in violation of the anti trust laws." j The company claimed the actions of the . union were similar to those in the noted Danbury hatters’ case, when the court held a big walkout in restraint of interstate commerce, while the machinists claimed Ihis view was set aside by the Clayton amendment to the Sherman law exempting labor unions and farmers’ organizations from such prosecutions. The court held that the Clayton act did not legalize a boycott such as the machinists were said to have carried on. This decision is the court's first extensive interpretation of sections of the Clayton act aimed to protect trade unions from court injunctions. In dissenting from the majority opinion, Justice Brandeis said the decision renders futile an effort continued more than twenty years “to place employers and employes on an equal basis before the law.” The Duplex Printing Press Company conducted an open shop. A strike, failing to unionize the shop, the machinists, it was said, tried to prevent the presses from being set up, hauled or operated thus preventing use of the company's product. The company asked an injunction under the Sherman anti trust act, claiming a conspiracy in restraint of interstate commerce. The union relied on the ClajHon act, passed after the famous Danbury hatters' decision, exempting unions from operation of the anti trust laws. Michael I-'. Mangan, administrator, lost his appeal in a suit to recover the proceeds of the sale of cotton .seized during the Civil War by the United States Government. The court held than Mangan had not established his title to the cotton and sustained the decision of the Court of Claims, from which the case had been appealed. JaiDr# H. Strong of Florida, an employe of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. was exonerated by the court of charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States by attempting to divert a contract from the fleet corporation to a firm in which he was.interested. Strong won in the lower court. The Government appealed, but lost in the higher court.

BUILDING HERE GAINS IN 1920 Permits Show Increase in Numbers and Valuation.

INDIANAPOLIS, MONDAY, JANUARY 3, 1921.

There Is Nothing Certain About Life —Not Even for State Penal Farm Guests Penal farm prisoners in Indiana apparently do not know from day to day whether they will be at the penal farm or not. The uncertainty of the certain judgments of the court by which they are sent to the pcual farm has become more or less of a joke, but has seldom been illustrated as well as in the case of Harley C. Carlton, Indianapolis, who wrote the Times, Dec. 29, as follows: “Please begin next Friday, Dec. 31, and send me the Times for eight weeks to the Indiana State Farm and also send me the bill.” In accordance with the wishes here expressed, the Times mailed a bill to Harley C. Carlton, Indiana State Farm, Greencastle, on Dec. 31. It was received at Greencastle, Jan. 1, and returned marked “Unclaimed” today. On the face of the envelope appears the notation of the penal farm, “Not here." The Government has added thereto the inscription: “Moved. Left No Address.”

Much interest centers about it. as he has made no very definite announcement regarding its probable contents NEW PRIMARY AND TAX LAWS PROBABLE. Asa matter of fact, there is considerable mystery surrounding the principal proposals to be taken up by the Assembly. It is certain that Mr. McCray j will ask for a revision of the primary law and if is thought probable that he j will ask for some sort of revision of the j tax law, although the extent of this lat- ; ter is still in doubt. He will call atten- j tinn to the necessity for more appropria- J tlons for State institutions. It is prob- j able that he will ask for a number of other changes in the law but no proposals for sweeping reforms are expected. Governor James P. Goodrich was in his office all day working on his farewell message to tin* Assembly, which he expects to deliver Thursday morning. The message probably will contain more than 10,600 words and will be the longest of his administration. In it he will review liis administration. It is probable that lie will not recommend many changes, preferring to leave this to Mr. McCray. He expected to have his message completed by this evening.

BRYSON, WITH SIOO,OOO, SEEKS $500,000 LOAN City Comptroller Prepares Request to Council for Interest Bearing Aid. BALANCE SHOWN JAN. 1 1 Although City Comptroller Robert H. Bryson announced Saturday that the city ! of Indianapolis ended the year of 1920 with a cash balance of SIOO,OOO in its j treasury, it developed today he will seek to negotiate a temporary loan of $500,000 * to meet civi! city expenses between Jan.ls and the date the May installment of taxes is received. The ordinance will be introduced in council tonight. it developed further that the board of public health at a special meeting this morning adopted a resolution asking another temporary loan for $210,000 to tide over the health department until it receives it's June tax money, i MAKES TOTAL HE | KNEW ABOUT. This makes a total of $710,000 which Mr. Bryson knew the city was going to nave to borrow at the time he issued | the statement regarding the SIOO,OOO balance he said was in the treasury. Thus, the figure* show, the city faces an actual deficit of $610,000 in its finances. The money received from the November tax installment is supposed to run all de- ! partments of the city until the May : taxes are received. The comptroller's an- | nouncement that $710,000 must be borrowed shows the November installment lasted only a little more than a month. The reason for this, city officials point out, is that temporary loans made earlier 4 in 1920 had to be paid out of the November installment. The board of health asked the comptroller to request the council to suspend its rules and grant it permission to borrow the $210,000 immediately. With the members of the council the | temporary loan ordinances were expected to be matters of secondary interest since the annual election of a president Is scheduled for tonight. RESULT Hi US ON DK. PET Ti JOHN. Asa result of strenuous Jockeying during tlie past two or three days, it became evident that the result of the vote depends on what Dr. O. B. PettiJohn, councilman from the Fourth district, does. Following the dismissal, in : Criminal Court Friday, of charges against Councilman G. G. Schmidt, of keeping a gambling house, it was reported all of the five anti-administration councilmen had decided to support Russell Willson, administration leader, for the presidency and to bring to a temporary truce that battle against Mayor . Charles W. Jewett, which has raged in i council for more than two years. However, it developed today that four of the "anti" councilmen had drawn away from Willson and had decided to nominate ami elect, if possible. Dr. PetI tijohn. This plan was contingent on the ; decision of the doctor himself, as to whether or not he would stick with the eflaUs or go over to the admintstiation : camp long enough to refuse to run himself and to cast his vote with the four administration councilmen in order to elect Willson. It was said the final line-up of votes would not be made until late this aftertoon or a short time before the meeting opens tonight. U. S.
