BUZZ FOR AUTO SHOW TYPIFIES TRADEREVIVAL Manufacturers and Dealers Back Faith With Works in Exhibition. STATE TO SEND CROWDS By HARRY K. STORMONT. “The sound of the saw and hammer are heard in our midst.” Who remembers when the country editor used to print the above “local” in his columns regularly every spring? This was the "ed's” way of telling his little world that spring activity in the building lines had been resumed in his community. The “ed” wasn t very loquacious about it. He didn't go into details, but rather left a lot to the imagination. He more than likely had to “stick” his own type and this was a tedious process at best, and he had little time. to pad or fill. His conception was that this told the story—business was resuming and the carpenters were hustling up new houses, new sheds or whatnot. Nowadays the matter of resumption of j business is more important news, espe- j daily since business in general has been j more or less playing 'possum or doing j the groundhog act of crawling in a hole j and pulling the hole in after it. That longed-for general resumption of activity is “in our midst” once more, and it is only Just to state that it is the buzz of the automobile men which i typifies this renewal of activity in busl-J ness. Particularly is this true in Hoosier- j dom. with the members of the Indian- j apolis Automobile Trade Association get- j ting “into high” with the final details of their spring automobile show to be held in the big exhibition building at , the State fairgrounds March 7-12, day and night. I. A. T. A. INDORSES BIBLICAL SENTIMENT. “Faith without works is vain.” quoth j the staff correspondent to the Ephesians or some of the other old-timers in the Good Book—and the I. A. T. A. fully in- j dorses that sentiment by action of the liveliest kind and backed up by good hard dollars to boot. The “w orks” they ) are putting forth will take the form of a greater display of motor cars, trucks and accessories than ever before attempted in Indianapolis, surrounded by decorations more elaborate by many thousands of dollars and Illumination of the same caliber to make the night shows more briliiane than ever before, j The automobile activities also include state-wide advertising snch as n wer before attempted and a greatly Increased appropriation for newspaper spa e gen- j erally. These automobile men are not figuring o n throwing away their hard earned lucre. They are full of fighting spirit, and “1921 will reward fighters,” according to the Chicago Tribune's very apt business slogan. The auto men feel it in their bones that there will be a reward, that the reaction shown to other big automobile shows in the country held this spring will follow the Indianapolis show Just os truly as night follows day. j That react' has been orders in quan- I tity; and besides, prospects galore have been obtained for future dotted line action. STATE DEALERS TO FLOCK HERE. A State-wide interest attaches to the spring auto show because N. H. Cartlnhour, who is president of the Indianap- I oils association, is also president of the Indiana Automotive Trade Association, which comprises the leading dealers In j passenger cars, trucks and accessories in the State. Mr. Cartinhour already has had his executive committee in session j and it has been agreed that it will do the automotive dealers jf the State a world of good to come to the Hoosier capital for a day or two. look over the new models and hobnob with local dealers. Not only that, but these out-State men are being booked up for a flock of j tickets to the local show and these tick- j ets are being circulated generally • throughout the State, which will result in a larger attendance of out-of-town show visitors than ever before. The State automotive men believe it is good busi- j ness for them to get their customers to j see this big exhibition—and more than ! that, they believe it is good business for them to gef together and exchange ideas. On the occasion of this State meeting there will t>e a real idea-foundry man to help clinch the impression that busi- j ness is now on its swing hack to nor- i mal. This speaker win r>e George O.ra- j ham, vice president of the Pierre-Arrow Company, a twelve-cylinder orator, who | knows how to sling hard facts in alio- i pathlc doses and make his hearers like j them. MESSAGE PLEASED NATIONAL CHAMBER Mr. Graham has a real message, as indicated by the title of his address, “Making the 1921 Grade." Ills message was one of the big features of the recent an- i nual meeting of the National Antomobi'e \ Chamber of Commerce and President Car ! tinhour of the State Association declares he was extremely fortunate in being able ; to obtain Mr. Graham’s services for this j State meeting. It is planned to hare a daytime ses- j flon with noon luncheon at the CUypool j Hotel, on Wednesday, March 9, and Gov- ! ernor Warren T. McCray and other nota- j hies are expected to attend. It will be I a real get together-for-real-buslness meet- I lng, acco-dlng to Mr. Cartinhour, and reservations have been made from all ! sections of the State for the luncheon i event. A big force of carpenters and electricians has been at work during the . week in the auto show building. There i will be something like 2.000 additional lights installed for the auto show or*ca- i sion, which will add scintillating bril- ! liance to the decorations to be installed by Ralph Edgerton, who won fame for his decorations for the Shrine, G.

This orchestra is said to be composed of real stars and has been booked in some of the best theatrical circuits as a highclass entertainment act. The ladies will play every afternoon and evening during the show and the assertion is made that real music and less Jazz will be the result. “With the auto men showing snch a game come-back spirit, we feel confident that ail other linos of business will quickly catch step and swing on toward the goal of business as usual.” declared Mr. Orman today. “All we ask now is for the general public to catch this same spirit and get behind this spring auto show and testify their approval and commendat on of this fighting spirit by their liberal attendance." BRIDE, 16, IS SENT BACK TO SCHOOL Escaped From Clermont Jan. 2, Officials Say. Special to The Times. MARION. Ind., Feb. 19.—The iron hand of the law fell heavily on pretty Elsie Newell Hendricks, 16, a bride of one day Friday afternoon, and she was forced to return to the Indiana Girls' School at Clermont, from which she, with four other girls, escaped on the night of Jan. 2. Sergt. Ernest Hedrick, Army recruiting officer of Logansport, claims to have married the girl Thursday at Indianapolis, bringing her to the home of her sister, Mrs. Robert Foltz, near here. Sheriff Bert Fowler and Chief of Police Ben Phillips arrested the girl Thursday evening on a warrant from the school at Clermont. The soldier husband tried every means possible to keep his girl bride out of jail and Friday morning he filed a writ of habeas corpus in Circuit Court for her release. Judge J. Frank Charles dismissed the proceedings in the afternoon and ordered Sheriff Fowler to turn the girl over to the school authorities. It is understood the husband will make an attempt to obtain a parole for his bride, who was sent to the school at Clermont from Logansport, Oct. 11, 1919, on charges of general delinquency. It was stated by school officials that this was the second time the girl had made her escape. The first time she was apprehended in Louisville, Ky., they stated. BARS ATTORNEY SI’RF.TIES.

CHARGE FRAUD • BY SHELBY ST. OPENING FOES South Side Residents Declare Remonstrance Agents Exaggerate Cost. REFUSE TO QUIT FIGHT Residents of the eastern section of the south side who are in favor of the plan to open Shelby street from Washington to Maryland streets so as to give the section another through north-and-south street and afford better fire protection became alarmed over the fate of the project today when they learned that opponents have been circulating remonstrance cards and attempting to get signatures thereto by means of what are said to be false representations. The cost of the opening will be assessed against a broad section of the south side, because the benefits will be widely distributed. Consequently several hundred persons are vitally interested in the plan. Since the cost is to be divided among hundreds of citizens the assessment against each naturally will be small. Friends of the plan, however, said they have discovered that the ageuts who are trying to obtain signatures to a remonstrance are telling citizens that the improvement will cost them SIOO each. The history of the project contains some peculiar phases. Months ago the board of public works announced that it intended to push through a resolution for the opening and improvement of Shelby street from Maryland to Washington street. BOARD POSITIVE IN ITS PROMISE. The board was positive In its declaration thnt it was going to see that this improvement, above all others, was going to go through Just as quickly as possible, so that the street would be opened before the elevation of the railroad tracks, which run east and west between Maryland and Washington street, was started. This elevation has been ordered. Members of the board stated if Shelby street were not opened at once the elevation* might block such a movement for all time. A day of hchring was fixed and a delegation at south slders, happy in the thought that the board of works actually was going to do something that the south side citizens desired, attended. A delegation of manufacturers with factories in or near the district through which Shelby street w uild be cut also attended. They objected to the Improvement on the ground that it would make it Impossible for them to have switches ; n into their plants after the tracks were elevated. Much to the surprise of the south elders the board postponed final action to take under consideration the objections. Another hearing was set and the south sidor* who attended this discovered they faced another serious set back. . SUBSTITUTE PLAN OFFERED AS BAIT. The board bAd had prepared a substltue plan by which Cruse street, now a narrow thoroughfare cut through from Washington to Maryland street, was to be widened and then connected with Shelby street by a diagonal opening running from Maryland street to Shelby street at the first alley south of Georgia street. The hoard got th* park department to cooperate in thlq plan to the extent of promising to establish a playground in the triangular plot cut off by the opening of the new section of Cruse

street. This bait was dangled before the eyes of the outraged property owners who desired Shelby street cut straight thfough. The citizens were much mystified over the reason for the board's efforts to evade their desires until The Daily Times discovered among the correspondence of the board that day a letter from E. P. Galbreath, Indianapolis manager of the Standard Oil Company. The letter read as follow's: STANDARD OIL MAN’S LETTER. “Referring to the matter of the opening of Shelby street, will say that the writer is pleased to note that you propose to cut diagonally across from Georgia street to Cruse street an’d widen Cruse street from Georgia street to Southeastern avenue. “Confirming the statement made by the writer to* you at the time of the holding of the 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 is 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 <f the triangle of the property owned by this company at the fntersectlon 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 standpoint to retain all of the present teum tracks which exist east of Cruse street and also to avoid as far as possible the probability of accidents at the intersection of Southeastern avenue and East Washington street.” 11. I). O’Connell, Thomas Callahan and John B. Downey, a committee appointed by citizens to lead the fight for the Shelby street opening, warned those who desire the opening not to sign anything brought around by agents of opponents of the plan. The board of works will hold another hearing on the project Monday morning and the committee expects to have a big delegation of property owners present.
