Then there’s something I(j jwrong! So why not find out what it is and j|| i try to correct it? You may never have j] j .—suspected your kidneys, yet often it’s the kidneys that are at fault. A cold, strain, or overwork congests the kidneys and slows them up; poisons accumulate in the system and manymysterious aches and pains result. You may have headaches and dizzy spells, too, with perhaps some annoying blad- „ der irregularity. Don’t wait for more serious trouble. You owe it to yourself to get well and stay well. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills. They have helped many Indianapolis folks. They should help you. Ask four neighbor! These are*lndianapolis Cases:

Shelby Street Louis Lohman, prop, barber shop, 752 Shelby St., Doan's Kidney Pills, but I couldn't recommend a better rente©y. I have long hours of confinement and being on inv feet for many houV at a time was responsible for my kidney trouble. Lumbago was the worst symptom and shooting pains would catch me across my back and loins My kidneys wouldn't act regularly and In different wavs showed signs of disorder. I began using Doan's Kidney Pills from Haag's drug store and they were not long in putting me In good shape.

Believes Girl Lured Into Car and Abducted t Mother of Tech Student, 15, Appeals to Police to Make Hunt. That Luclle Fuller. 13, pretty Technical High School girl, was lured into an automobile, drugged and kidnaped Is the belief of her mother, Mrs. L. Fuller, 18 East Pratt street. The police are searching for a man ten years older than the girl who is said to have been seen In a taxi carrying the girl’s coat. Miss B'uller left home yesterday morn- | ing. She took with her S3O to deposit I in a bank and a fur coat to be left at a downtown store to be repaired. When | she failed to return Mrs. Fuller went to ; the bank and learned that her daughter : had not deposited the money and had not I left the coat to be repaired. She notl- ; lied the police. Investigation showed that a man Miss Fuller met at a dance at \ one of the leading clubs of the city a week ago was seen carrying a fur coat answering the description of the one the girl had with her when she left home. The man was seen in a taxi near the Traction Terminal station, but the girl was not with him. Later the police were Informed that he j had left the city. | “I never permitted my daughter to attend a dance unless I was with her,” de- | clared Mrs. Fuller. “She was Just a little girl, with curly hair, and she was only in the second year of high school. Two of the high school boys who knew her were at the dance. They introduced her to the man. who Is 23 years old. I was 111 that night and lt was the first dance she ever attended without me. I am sure she was lured Into an automobile, j drugged and kidnaped, for she would never go of her own free will." Miles Greenfield, living at stop 6 on the Danville traction line, appealed to the police to search for his daughter. Miss Stella Greenfield, 18, who came to Indianapolis Sunday and has not returned home. Elbert Bishop. 19. 517 South Harris avenue, left home Wednesday and Is still missing. The police have been asked to search for him. WOMEN’S CHORUS IN FIRST CONCERT Athenaeum Audience Pleased With Program. The Women’s Chorus of the Athenaeum made its first formal bow to the public last night, appearing on the concert pro- j gram given in the auditorium of the club. The numbers Included "Israfel’’ j • Edgar Stillman Kelley), “The Swan" I • Saint Saens), and “The Snow’’ (Edgar ; Elgar), which were given In a most 1 pleasing manner. The chorus Is made up of women holding professional voice po- j sitlons which accounted for the richness , of voice and smoothness of tone. On the first number, “Israfel,” Mrs. ! Franc Wilhite Webber played a liarp ae- I companlst and on the other numbers Mrs. ; Christine Roush and Mrs. Ruth McClure, violinist, assisted the aceompaulst. Arthur Kraft, CMeago tenor, was the soloist for the evening. He Is well j known among local music-lovers, having , appeared in Indianapolis several times. He possesses a clear, pure voice of delightful quality. His numbers Included “Give Me Tby Heart” (attributed to Bach); “Have You Seen But a Whyte j Lillie Grow” (old English); “Pastoral" j iVeraclnl), a group of Brahms numbers, j “Serenade,” “Song of the Lark” and I "The Message“ The Nlghlngale and the Rose” (Rimsky-Korsakoff), and two La Forge songs, “To a Violet" and “Song of the Open.” He sang two charming encore songs, “A Sprig of Rosemary" and “Her Eyes” from R. Burleigh’s cycle, “Passionate;” "Aubade" (from opera Le Rol D’Ys,” by Lalo) and “Celle que je prefere” (Fourdrain). The men’s chorus gave a group of numbers. Including “The Vagabond" (Daniel Protheroe), “Leonor” (Mexican air by Frederick Stevenson), “Viking j Song” (S. Colerldge-Taylor). In the I lilting Mexican song the men gave lt a characteristic atmosphere by shaking ■ tambourines. The numbers were all bpiendldly presented under the able leadership of Alexander ErnestlnofT, who also directed the ladies' chorus. Mrs. Frank Edenharter. pianist, gave excellent support with her artlatlc accompaniments.

South East Street Mrs. J. D. Ricketts, 435 S. East St., says: “Some time ago I had a lot of trouble with my kidneys. My back ached awfully and I had headaches. I was badly run down and for a time was laid u p In bed. Any kind of housework was out of the question. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills a dvertlsed and sent for two boxes. After using them the troubles disappeared entirely. I have had nothing to complain of since Doa u’s cured me and I have many times recommended them to others.”

DEATH PENALTY IS NOT SOUGHT IN MYERS CASE (Continued From Page One.) Court, Attorney Arthur Robinson Indicated that an exhaustive and careful examination of every prospective witness would be made. Some of the main questions Mr. Robinson put to the talesmen were as follows: "Do you believe that the presumption of Innocence follows the defendant through the entire trial as long as there is a reasonable doubt? Do you believe that to be good law? “Do you believe It to be good law that when the defense Is that of Justifiable homicide that the defendant does not have to satisfy the jury that it was self-defense, but that it is the duty of the State to show that the defendant’s plea Is false? “You see In the newspapers a great deal of talk about a crime wave, generally burglnry and larceny. Would these printed opinions In the papers have any effect on your Judgment In this case? “Are you acquainted with any member of the grand jury which returned the indictment against Mrs. Myers or with Mr. Myers during his lifetime or with any members of the prosecutor's office?” Mr. Robinson put many other questions talesmen and dwelt at length on the question of reasonable doubt. He sought also to determine whether the talesmen had been on Juries In murder eases previously to this trial. Mr. Robinson Is being assisted by his partner, Frank A. Symmes. Mrs. Myers, who is small In stature, came Into court with her counsel and two stepsons, Arthur and Byron Myers, sons of the late Mr. Myers by a former marriage. Mrs. Myers was dressed In a dark tailored suit with a large white collar end wore a brown hat. On entering the courtroom, she took a chair next Mr. Symraes and back of Mr. Robinson. She faced the jury box, carefully studying each man. She did not appear to be nervous and often consulted with Mr. Symmes during the examination of the Jurors. Long before the courtroom was opened a large crowd of men and women were In the corridors of the courthouse. The main Door was filled quickly, as was all standing room In the rear of the room. The galleries were opened to the public and were filled In a few seconds. When court adjourned, counsel for the defendant had used six of their twenty peremptory challenges, having dismissed Albert Shaw, Henry O. Gresh. W. P. Mutts, Charlie Collins, John M. Coakerly and Levi J. Carson. The court excused one talesman because his hearing was defective. When John M. Scudder ntatod he had an opinion on the guilt or Innocence of the defendant, caused by reading the papers and when he strengthened lt by saying he could not tcy the case by law and the evidence, he was excused, for cause. The defense resumed questioning th* talesmen at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. Up to that hour the defense had not passed the Jury to the State but Prosecutor Evans had questioned several talesmen when they were challenged for cause by the defense. Indications are that the Jury will not be obtained until late this afternoon. LENIENCY AGAIN PROVES FUTILE (Continued From I’ogo One.) with Sheriff George Snyder preparatory to being moved to the State priion. ”1 am Informed that Guiffre baa been connected up one* before tbla with bootlegging, but he was not convicted, as be hid t>eh!hd the skirts of a woman and allowed her to lay out the thirty days,” said Judge Co.lins. “Bcbw*rts la out on a suspended sentence and Is doing well.” So er.da for the time being at least the Guiffre experiment In suspended sentences. w Two at Terre Haute Held in Still Case John and Dode Schaffer of Terra Haute, nrrested by Federal prohibition agents at Terre Haute Sunday, are being held thare on a charge of operating a still, according to word received yesterday by I<ee Kidder, chief of prohibition agents in this district.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8,1921.

Fair Visitors Embarrassing to Councilmen Members Wish for New Door to Escape Questions on Votes. New evidence that some women In Indianapolis are taking their possession of th© franchise with Increasing seriousness develops at each meeting of the city council. At the regular meeting last night Miss Julia E. Landers, woman member of the Democratic national committee from Indiana, occupied a seat In the front row In the spectators' section. She said she was a delegate from the League of Women Voters, which has started the practice of sending a member to each council meeting to familiarize the membership with this branch of the munlcl- ; pal government. Members of the two women's civic or- j gantzatlons on the south side, which are j Interested In the establishment of branch municipal markets, have been attending the meetings and taking a lively Interest. Recently women from other sections of the city, who also say they would like to see the branch market Idea tried out, have began attending, so that for several weeks there have been more women than men at the council sessions. After the meetings are over the women buttonhole the councilmen and other city officials present and some llely arguments ensue. Some of the councilmen, desiring to refrain from explaining their votes on certain measures, ; have expressed the wish for some way to j get out of the council chamber other than ! through the main entrance. As there U ! no other means of escape, they must rush j out as soon as adjournment is taken or j wait and run the gantlet. Other oouucil- | men 'bravely wade through the group of j women and do their best to answer the j questions fired at them. It has been suggested in some political ; quarters that both the Democratic and j Republican parties should have women j candidate.! for the council on their mu j nlclpal tickets this fall, but most of the : women who attend the sessions say they j would not desire the Job because they ! would have no chance against a majority | of men. It also has been suggested that there ahould be a woman candidate for city clerk, but no woman has come to j the front as a contender. PLAN TO CALL IN REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION (Continued From Page One.) In theory, but in practice lt Is very impractical.” Ho told of the hardships on j a candidate who is successful In obtaining the nomination, to have to make two campaigns In one years, from the Ohio River to Michigan.' The Governor said the fight was not an administration affair. Inasmuch ns the primary repeal plank in the Republican State platform In the last campaign had I been drafted by fifty representatives of I the party, and therefore the fight would ! be up to the State committee. Governor j McCray Indicated he would take no pgrt I In the contest over the primary tjjll, since lt Is purely a party affair. SWAIN TO FATHER REPEAL MEASURE, The primary repeal question has been brought to the front again with the an nouncement of Senator William M. Swain. ; Pendleton, that he will Introduce a bill ; providing for the repeal of the primary In so far as It effects candidates for Gov ernor and candidates for United state* ! Senator. The statement has been made j that Governor McCray Is back of this j bill, but he has repeatedly denied this. Another bill has been Introduced In th* House of Representatives to bring ’ about the complete repeal of the prl- j rnary law. It has been pointed out that j this could be worked in with Senator j Swain's bill which would provide a substitute primary election to apply only to local offices and candidates for Congress. Harvard Savant Dead CAMBRIDGE. Mass., Feb. B.—Prof. Barrett Wendell, known throughout the world as a scholar and teacher and for many years professor of English at Harvard, died today. *

Woodlawn Avenue Chas. W. Hardy, locomotive ‘fireman, 012 Woodlawn avenue, says: "Whenever my kidneys get out of order or my back gets to aching I resort to Doan’s Kidney Pills and it doesn't take them long to relieve the trouble. I have been a locomotive fireman since 1909, and the coustant rough riding on the engine has a tendency to bring on troubles with my kidneys. I have pains across my back and would be dizzy by spells; my kidneys wouldn’t act regularly either. Doan's Kidney Pills quickly relieved these troubles.”
