PLAN FOR AUTO SHOW GREATER THAN CHICAGO’S Manufacturers and Dealers Find Pointers in Windy City Not Needed. SPACE GOING RAPIDLY “If the auto industry is dead, we are going to give the grandest wake you ever saw," declared John B. Orman, manager of the Indianapolis Auro Show, today after returning from Chicago, where he looked 'em over at the Coliseum exhibit. "Members and officials of the Indianapolis Trade Association went to Chicago to see if they could pick up any live pointers on staging their own event," Air. urmau said, “but we came away convinced that our plans to date for the show we are to hold at the Fair Grounds, March 7 to 12, are even superior to the exhibit at the so-called national show. “Indianapolis manufacturers and dealers are enthusiastic over the outlook for a real business revival, as indicated by the fact that already, more than a month advance of our show, our car space is oversold and it appears that we will have to force space-holders to move over a bit and let late comers have a look-in. Accessory space is going rapidly, also, and the walls of the big manufacturers’ building at the Fair Grounds will likely be bulging by the time the gong rings for the big event ” MORE INTEREST THAN’ IN’ PAST.

Mr. Orman declares that never before has there been so much Interest throughout the State In the Indianapolis show as is in evidence this year. “The fact that N. H. Cartinhour, president of the Indianapolis Trade Association, is also president of the State automoblve dealers’ organization, may have some bearing on this situation,” says Mr. Orman. ,4 but I take It that dealers and intending purchasers throughout Indiana e-lize this will be e golden opportunity for seeing all the many handsome models under one roof, and that it also indicates there Is a lot of life left in this old ’corpse.’ as some people nave imagined the auto industry.” Elaborate decorations will be amplified by a doubling of the lighting system, creating a night effect of Intense beauty, and special musical attractions will be offered. Arrangements are being made for special nights for various organizations and every effort will be made to instruct the crowds and entertain them as well. SEEK ATTENDANCE BY GENERAL PUBLIC.

Special effort will be made this year to induce a larger patronage on the “art of the general public. “Why should I pay money to go in and sea a lot of automobiles?” is a query sometimes put to the show managers. Mr. Orman declares: "It is a real saving of time and effort —besides you get your money’s worth in high class music and entertainment.” , He points out that if a person interested in automohiles should attempt to “take in the row" he would have to spend an entire day at it and then not see all of them—and perhaps not see many of them under the most favorable circumstances. “We come not to bury Caesar (the auto), but to praise him.” asserts Orman, "and we certainly want to urge the people of Indianapolis and the entire State to come in and participate in this glorious ‘wake,’ which we will show is the biggest resurrection of a ‘dead one’ the public ever bad the pleasure of attending.”

lng a complete Investigation of the West Vlrgina troubles. “The fact that the troops are In West Virginia is prhna facie evidence that civil government has been destros'ed there,” said Keeney. “The Winchester rifle and the gun are the law In West Virginia coal fields now and the gunmen aren’t at all backward in telling you so either.” Forty-seven mine workers have been killed and at least twelve detectives are known to have been killed, Keeney said, since last July.

ROADS SUFFER BY CAR SURPLUS Shippers Who Complained of Shortage Now Hold Off. “What has happened to“ the freight traffic of the railways is strikingly indicated by statistics regarding the loading of freight cars within recent weeks,” says the Railway Age In its current Issue. “In October the number of carloads of freight loaded average about one million a week. In the four weeks ending Jan. 22 the average number of cars loaded weekly was 679,551. This represents a jdecllpe, since the peak was reached in October, of almost exactly one-third. Asa result of this decline of business the railways on Jan. 23 had a car surplus of 301,000, and this has been steadily increasing. “The statistics regarding earnings and expenses In January are not available, but the induction of both total and net earnings which occurred coincidentally with this decline of one-third In freight movement will be shown, when the statistics ere available, to have been very large. “The statistics regarding car loadings show clearly that the country is not very generally taking advantage of the surplus railway capacity available to ‘ship now.' For a period of many months there were loud complaints that shippers could not get sufficient ears in which to ship their goods. The railways might now, with equal pertinence, complain loudly that they cannot get enough freight with which to load their cars. Car shortages cause heavy losses to the business concerns that cannot ship goods when they want to, but car surpluses likewise cause heavy losses to railways when they cannot get freight to haul in their cars. “When there is another large shortage of cars, as In course of time there will be. It is to be hoped that those w r ho could cause the shipments of freight now, but who ar© not doing so because prices or other conditions are unsatisfactory to them, will not forget the present period during which the railways are suffering tremendous losses because of the failure of those who could ‘ship now' to do so.”

ANOTHER FINED IN ‘NOAH’S ARK’ CASE Wrangle Makes ‘Good Government Machine’ Enemy. G. M. Whitcly, negro, yesterday afternoon pleaded guilty to drunkenness In city court and was fined $1 and costs. Charges of resisting an officer were continued indefinitely. Whitely was arrested at "Noah’s Ark,” a poolroom operated by Noah Fritz, negro, at 903 Ft. Wayne avenue, about a week ago. On that occasion Patrolman Pat Shea got off his district and started something he could not finish when he tried to discover the names of four negroes who were playing pool. One of them, Lee George, picked the policeman up and slammed him down on a showcase so hard that In broke the showcase. George then took the policeman’s gun and forced the officer to surrender bis badge and club. Later George was brought to police headquarters by Henry Fleming, negro, In charge of the city ash h oilrig department, at the request of the police. George and other negroes were barricaded in a residence and the police, it is said, feared to attempt his arrest. Fleming says Capt. Ed promised not to put a serious ch h e against George, who returned the badge, club and gun through Fleming. Fleming accused Captain Ball of giving him a double cross when Ball placed the charge of robbery against George. The word battle In the captain's office resulted In Fleming resigning from the ash hauling department and now the “good government political machine" has lost a worker and has made a powerful enemy In the negro district George was bound over to the grand Jury on the charge of robbery a few days ago, and other charges against him have been continued Indefinitely in city court. Fritz and thirteen other negroes were arrested this week when three policemen raided the place, but In city court all the men proved they were working every day and the charges wre dis-

Knox County Coal Operators Realized $2,919 per ton for 1920 The following coal companies, members of the Knox County Coal Operators’ Association, produced 2,284,712.84 tons of coal in 1920: America Coal Mining Cos. Indian Creek Coal Mining Cos. Tecumseh Mining Cos., Ridge Coal Mining Cos. Bicknell Coal & Mining Cos. The total realization for the 2,284,712.84 tons mined and sold, including all sizes, was $6,669,962.83, an average realization of $2,919 per ton. Knox County Coal Operators Recognize Obligations to Customers Knox County operators have invested a tremendous amount of capital in the development of coal mines in Knox County, Indiana. Knox County operators have been producing and selling coal over a period of years, and expect to continue to mine and market this same coal for many years to come. Knox County operators depend on continued mutual relations with consumers using Knox County coal. In order that mines can he operated steadily in summer as well as winter, contracts for Knox County coal are sought and made with private industries, public utilities and railroads. Every user of Knox County coal is an obligation assumed by Knox County operators regardless of the fluctuations of supply and demand. In every case contracts are renewed with regular customers at a price predicated upon costs and running time. During 1920 Knox County operators were handicapped by the most acute car shortage in years. Strikes of railroad men and miners placed further limitations on production. The actual running time of Knox County mines was only 156 days. In the face of all these difficulties and the lure of tempting spot market prices, Knox County operators not only renewed contracts with old customers, but fulfilled all obligations. It is a record of which we feel proud. Our customers recognize and appreciate the dependable service given by Knox County operators, and it is just this sort of recognition that is building new and permanent markets for Knox County coal. Building markets for the potential production of Knox County mines and one hundred per cent delivery on all contracts at all times is the manifest purpose behind the organization of the Knox County Coal Operators’ Association. We feel every reader of this series of advertisements, of which this is the concluding number, is impressed with this fact. i Always Bear In Mind That An Adequate Coal Supply Is Dependent Solely Upon An Adequate Car Supply Knox County Coal Operators’ Association . “Organized fa Build Markets for Indiana Coal”
