CITIZENS STAND OUT FOR STREET (Contlnnfd From Page On*.) ager of tbe Indianapolis branch and agencies of the Standard OH Company, ■which company owns a tilling station at Southeastern avenue and Washiagton 'street. The letter reads: Referring to the matter of the opening of Shelby street, will say that the writer Is pleased to note that yon propose to out diagonally across from Georgie street to Cruse street and widen Crnse street from Georgia street to Southeastern avenue. Confirming the statement made by the writer to yon at the time of the holding of tbe recent conference, will say that we are pleased to advise that we have secured the approval of the proper authorities to the effect that in the event it la decided to abandon the extending and opening of Shelby street and to adopt Instead the widening of Cruse street, that this company will donate to the city of Indianapolis a sufficient amount of ground off the apex of the triangle Os the property owned by this company at the Intersection of Southeastern avenue and East Washington street, to permit the extension of Cruse street and the elimination of the new dangerous point which exists there. The reason for this proposal on the part of the Standard Oil Company is that it Is felt desirable from a business standpoiiit to retain all of the present team tracks which exist east of Crust street and also to avoid as far as possible the probai billty of accidents at the interse tion of Southeastern avenue and East Washington street. The delegation proposed to the board that the opening of Bhelby street be made part of the track elevation work *o that the cost could be apportioned on a basis of 25 per cent by the city and street railway company, and 73 per cent by the railroads. Tbe board promised to Investigate this Idea. A resolution for a main sewer In Dakato and Ray streets from a point live feet north of Palmer street to a point 353 feet west of Dakota street was adopted.

ASK U. S. TRIAL OF LEADERS IN BERGDOLL PLOT (Continued From Page One.) .taken out German citizenship papers and says he “never wants to see America again as long ns he lives.” Stecher was born in Baden, but was taken to the United States at the age of 5 by his parents. Bergdoll has become a “hero and martyr” In the eyes of many of the Eberbach townsfolk. But his hero worships is giving way to anti-American feeling and a wave of ••spyphobia” that la nearly hysterical in Us intensity. This high feeling has been intensified by a statement attributed to Nenf that “if he were imprisoned a company of American soldiers would come from Coblenz and release him." Thin, together with the shooting during the attempt to seize Bergdoll, led to many muttered remarks about “Wild West gunplay In peaceful Baden.” BERGDOLL NOW IS “LYING LOW.” Bergdoll anticipates a repetition of the attempt to seize him and told the police that he planned to “lay low.” He has given up his rooms in the hotel owned by his cousin, Frau Bohrmann. For a time he drove out every evening to the country home of a friend, but now he spends most of his time riding and sleeping In his motor ear. Bergdoll carries an automatic pistol most of the time. It Is Impossible to forecast the outcome of the case of the two American prisoner* who are In the Eberbach jail awaiting Indictment while two separate investigations into thalr efforts to capture Bergdoll are proceeding. Both prisoners claim to be American citizens, bound upon a bona fide and officially recognized mission when they came to Eberbach. Neaf made a statement, according to the police authorities, saying that be and his companion were Americin Government agents.

GANG FINDS TOO MANY TO FAVOR IN MAYOR RAGE (Cntlnned From Pare One.) eonvlcti from the Penal Farm to open it; Gns Schmidt, former president of the city council, who ceased his opposition to the administration when a certain gambling charge against him was dismissed in tfie Criminal Court. None of these substitutes is acceptable to the News, on whom the Jewett administration has learned to lean in all its political fights. None is likely to have the support of the administration. Mayor Jewett'* task of selecting h';s own successor Is complicated. In order to be certain of th* results he must select a man who will be acceptable to the News, the anti-administration faction, the business men of the city, th# courthouse ring and the negro voters who will eventually be depended on to elect him. There Just doesn't seem to b# any such animal at present on the political horizon. In the meanwhile the organization which Is wholly In the control of Jewett la growing restless and bids fair to trail away after some other candidate than Jewett desires. LEW SHANK IS • SOURCE OF WORRT. Lew Shank, who recently announced his candidacy, is getting ready to make it plain that he really means (T. Collins is reputed to have sent word to Jewett that he cannot control William P. Evans, prosecuting attorney, and will not guarantee to dismiss any grand Jury that might want to Investigate the primaries. Back of all is the horrifying thought that Governor McCray may take a hand in local affairs and break up the paid organization of the city administration. It seems to be the consensus of opinion among the politicians that the city administration must make its choice within the next week, even if It be a sorry choice. For, It 1 pointed out, unless the administration does something soon to entertain the organization the organization will do what calves sometimes have been known to do—follow a steer and not get back in time for supper.

Chicago Is the headquarters of a railroad propaganda bureau designed to put the story of the plight of tbe roads over to the public. Ivy Lee, New York publicity expert, is here in frequent conference with Atterbury. -e RAIL FORCES TOLD TO GET TOGETHER Railroad managers were advised by the United States Rail Labor Board to get together with their employes and work out a "sensible settlement" of wage controversies. / The board suggested that the employers get together with their men when the managers presented a petition asking immediate abrogation of the national agreements and reduction of wages of 500,000 unskilled workers. As W. W. Atterbury, chairman of the labor board of the Railway Executives’ Association finished his petition, Judge R. M. Barton, chairman of the Federal board. Informed him that the employers should be able to settle tho question by direct negotiation with the men. Atterbury declared that the railroad situation was so critical that unless the board gives Immediate relief by granting the petition, the railroads will be forced to ask for a general wage reduction.

FACE MYSTERY IN FIRE Detectives Seek Cause of Blaze in Central Wall Paper and Paint Building. Detectives today are investigating to determine the origin of a fire which destroyed the interior of the three-story brick building <£cupied by the Central Wall Paper and Paint Company, 127 South Meridian street, early Sunday. The Hmilding is owned by Lucius B. W’ainwright. The loss Is estimated at SIOO,OOO, fully covered by Insurance. Fire Chief Loucks requested the police to make a special investigation. Chief Loucks, Assistant Chief Hoyl and Lieutenant McMurtry of the police department cooperated in efforts to determine the cause the blaze. The lieutenant reported that the fire seemed tto have started in three places, In the elevator shaft about the center of the building, in the basement across from the elevator shaft and at a place some distance east of the shaft neiar some turpentine barrels. The fire died out before reaching the inrpentine. MApN and woman SEEN TO ENTER. A report was investigated that a merchant police officer saw a man and woman enter the building at midnight, about four hours before the lire was discovered. Later it was learned that the persons who entered the building were a bookkeeper employed there and his sister, who went to the office to get an umbrella after attending a show. It was not learned who sent In the fire alarm. Firemen who first reached the scene declared the smoke was pouring from the windows when they arrived. When they forced the front door the smoke almost choked them. The second and third floors were filled with wall paper. After an hour It appeared the fire was almost out, but it suddenly blazed up again and several firemen narrowly escaped Injury or death. E. L. Osborne, president of the company, said he was unable to tell what caused the fire. The company recently moved from 527 Massachusetts avenue to the South Meridian street building. OTHER CONCERNS SUFFER LOSSES. X Basements of adjoining buildings were flooded with water. The occupants of these buildings, the Varney Electric Company, the Shoe Store supply and Leather Company and the Hibben-llollweg Company, wholesale dry goods concern, suffered water losses.

When the back draft caused what might be described ns tn explosion after the flames appeared to be under control the heat was so great that It fused eighteen of the sprinkler heads in the automatic sprinklers in the building north of the Central Wall Paper and Paint Company. This caused these kp-inkle.rs to open and the water poured In a flood through the building which Is occupied by the Varney Electric Company ail'd the Shoe Supply and Leather Company. The salvage corps had covered much of the merchandise in these stores, but the water damage was heavy. U. S. SUPREME COURT’S RULING FAYORS BERGER (Continued From Page One.) Socialises were false when compared with the official stenographer's report. The appeal for clemency was the final effort In the two years’ fight waged for Debs’ freedom. The Supreme Court upheld his conviction on the same day It upheld the constitutionality of the law tinder which he was convicted, so no further actlcu can be expected from that source. Delis’ friends probably will appeal to President-elect Harding for clemency, after he assumes office March 4, but they see little chance of success. During tne campaign Senator Harding was asked by a person in one of his audiences whether he would extend clemency to Debs if elected, and he replied Ehortly that he would not. BERGER SEES ~ RETURN TO REASON MILWAUKEE, Wls., Jan. 31.—“1 hall this decision as the first sign of returning sanity to our ruling class,” sold Victor L. Berger when informed of the decision of the Supreme Court in the Soeiajjst case. “Asa matter of fact, the Chicago trial was simply a conspiracy of the patrtoteers nnd the profiteers against the Socialist parly. “The conspiracy has failed and I have nothing to retract from anything I have written or said about the war or about those who pushed us into the war. “If what I said or wrote was error, citizens holding contrary opinions bad an equal right to speak and. publish, their opinions, so that the public might bear both sides.” 19 Persons Identify Loot in Mingle Case Detectives today stated that nineteen persons whose homes have been robbed have proved their ownership of loot recovered In the room of Vinton Mingle, 620 East North street. Another man has identified some Jewelry and the police charge Mingle with twenty burglaries. They declare William Mingle, brother of Vinton, had some of the stolen articles at his home.

She was placed in an automobile and rushed to a house where the gang made Us headquarters and later taken to th* cabin five miles east of Corona.
