PRECINCT LINES GIVE HOWE MEN HARD PROBLEM Machine Would Try Gerrymander if Sure of Hold on City Council. OTHERS OPPOSE CHANGE

To change or not to change the precinct boundaries in Indianapolis before the coming municipal primary election is a problem that is causing furrowed brows and many consultations in the ranks of the News-Jewett organization, which is backing Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College, for the Republican nomination for mayor. Irving W, Lemaui, Republican city chairman, announced Monday that a conference would be held within a day or so with Thomas Meeker, Democratic city chairman; Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel, and Harry Hendrickson, county attorney, participating, at which it would be decided what would be done about redistricting the precincts. Meanwhile it it understood the forces of Edward J. Robison and Samuel Lewis Shank, also mayoralty candidates, are in favor of letting the boundaries stand as they are. The administration group has not quite made up its mind what it wishes to do, supporters of Robison and Shank assert, or the conference would have been called end something done long ago. If anything is done, it is agreed, the administration will have to bring it about. The city council has the power to change precinct boundaries. The Democrats do not have a single member in the council. The administration has control of five and the anti-administra-tion forces four members. Dr. O. B. Pettljohn, one of the administration members, is seriously ill in a hospital and therefore for the present the council stands equally divided. TIGHT GRir WOULD BRING GERRYMANDER. The fact that they do not have perfect control of the council was understood to be causing the Howe backers much trouble. If there were plain sailing ahead, it Is said, they probably would have forced a gerrymander through the council a week or two ago. A little more than two weeks ago Charles O. Roemler, Republican chairman of the Beventh district and member of the Jew-ett-Lemcke-Roemler triumvirate, which has ruled Marion County politically for the last four years, is quoted as having said that there would be no need to change the boundaries. A few days later he had a different song to sing, it is said, stating that what the Shank and Robison backers had done in the way of knocking the “organization'’ all out of line had made it necessary that some changes be made so that recalcitrant precinct committeement could be ousted and City Chairman Lemaux have an opportunity to appoint men who will do the bidding of the Jewett-Lemcke-Koemier combine. The present city precinct boundaries are those in force in the last city campaign. Under this division there are 141 precincts in the city. It is reported that if the “organization'* could see its way around the obstacle presented by the four anti-administration members of the city council it would seek to have the city cut up further so as to add forty precincts. With this many to be added the “organization” could so manipulate the boundaries as to leave precinct committeemen who are refusing to heed the crack of the Jewett-Lemcke-Roemler whip outside the precincts which they were chosen to represent and so make them ineligible. Then the city chairmen could appoint whom he pleases to take their places. $3,000 TO BE ADDED TO ELECTION COST. If the Howe backers are able to put through a program like this it will add greatly to the election expense to be borne by the taxpayers. The administration, no doubt, would attempt to cloak Its movement for more precincts under the pretext that the additional voting places were necessary to take care of the electorate increased through woman suffrage. Persons familiar with primary elections, however, point out that polls never have been congested on primary day in Marion County. They set forth that the highest total primary vote ever cast in the county was last spring, when 37 per cent of the registered strength of the Republican party and a Blightly smaller per cent of the Democratic votes were cast for presidential candidates. The voting at the fall elections always is much heavier. With the women voting in the presidential election last fall there " was no congestion at any voting place, and so economically minded persons can see no reason, from the standpoint of the public welfare, why such a great number of voting places should be added. Forty new polling places would cost $3,d00 extra on election day, they estimate. Some Republican politicians were of the mind that a few precincts ought to be added and a few miscellaneous boundary changes made to bring territory added to the city by annexation in the last four years within precinct boundaries. Others thought the three Republican factions and the Democrats might compromise on the change of the city precincts to conform with the boundaries of. the present county precincts, as established by the county commissioners last year. There Rre 154 of the county precincts inside the city limits. TOO MANY FOR „ CITY PRECINCTS. If this were done It would straighten out the tangle in which many precinct ’ committeemen find themselves when they try to figure out their status In the light of the territory in the city precincts. While the committeemen represent their precincts in both the county and city elections they are elected at county elections and hence were chosen by the voters residing within the boundaries as established by the county commissioners. With the city precinct boundaries different some hardly know what their standing is. There being 154 county precincts inside the city, there are thirteen more committeemen than there are city precincts. Whatever Is done will have to be accomplished on or before April 2, the law providing that the boundaries must be published not later than thirty days berore the primary, which is May 3. Woodburn Masson, attorney and Democratic election commissioner for the presidential election last year, has been watching the moves in the redistricting tangle for City Chairman Meeker, who has not yet named his party's member of the board of election commissioners for the city primary and election. SAY NOW ASSURED OF FAIR TREATMENT. Shank leaders are Jubilant over the perfection of plans to obviate unfair election day tactics against their candidate. Just what the plans were was not revealed. “We have absolute Insurance against dishonest treatment this time,” said Dr. E. E. Hodgin, chairman of the Shank committee. “Lew Shank Is the strongest candidate of the last twelve years in city politics. We are confident he can get more votes than the other two candidates for the Republican nomination and we are also confident now that he will get fair treatment election day.” Dr. Hodgin condemned the administration plan to alter precinct boundaries to Increase the number of precincts in tho city. “No need for such a change exists” said he. “The increased number of voters can very well be handled onder the present system. In the first place the aCqiti'jn of forty or more precincts would place an unnecessary burden of election cost sn. taxpayers. In the second place the

Home Brew Pops; Ruins Cops * Quiet LVI Checker Game A terrific noise in the telephone operators’ room at police headquarters yesterday afternoon caused quite a bit of excitement. It was first believed to be the ill luck of some automobile owner having a “blow-out," hut when glass was heard to shatter that belief was given up. An investigation followed. The “noise” was found to be caused by four bottles of home brew either “over excited” or “restless” over the delay of being called as evidence in a blind tiger case.

Jewett crowd no doubt believes It can gain an advantage by appointing a greater number of election boards.” At Shank headquarters a belief persists that either Robison or Howe will get out of the race soon. Neither has been able to make much headway in the Shank strongholds, and they are sure to divide certain districts which have In the past been regarded as against Shank, it la said. Shank will address a meeting at 723 Virginia avenue tonight. CANT ROB GOD AND GET AWAY WITH IT—SMITH (Continued From Fage One.) more concerned In filling np the church register than getting people into the kingdom of God. “You have in your churches a sickly, sentimental crop of believers who can work up a little enthusiasm for a church concert, a lecture, a social or an entertainment, but they can't save their souls at a prayer meeting.” Suddenly stopping in the midst of his remarks, Gipsy Smith asked: “How many people are here for the first time during this campaign?” More than half of those in the tabernacle held up their hands. The Gipsy evangelist smiled hla broadest smile and said as he saw new fuces on the first rows: "You people ou the first rows, right up here in front can thank me for getting them. We have some dear old bench warmers who have held them down since the meetings started. We have turned them out. Oh, I see that a few got In.” In emphasizing the advantages of arriving at a decision to become a Christian by "sane reasoning,’’ the evangelist said: “I would rather have ten people honestly and intelligently brought to God by an honest declaration for Him than I would have 10,(.00 only half and half. If I had my way I would strip from the church registers all those who have not been born again.” HE HAS A WORD FOR THEM, TOO. Several in the audience cried out, “Amen.” The Gipsy turned in their direction and said: “It would tAl:e some of yon who cried out ‘Amen’ off of the registers.” Pointing a finger at the audience, he said: "The majority of us are using camaflouge before the sight of God. Jesus never said Just believe. He did not say you had nothing to do. That doctrine is an opiate from hell, an opiate from the pit.” Turning to the ministers, the evangelist said: “Don't preach a one-sided gospel. Don't put the cart in front of the horse. Let your scripture, be faithful with the scripture. Jesus does not widen the door to let a big man In. He didn't trim His message to accommodate the big sinner. Jesus said you must be born again. There is no salvation without obedience to the will of God. You are a fraud. In or out of the pulpit, if you are not putting Jesus Christ first day by day and trying to please Him. “You can't hold a cross on Sunday and feel the devil’s black paw through the week." ; CALL-DOWN FOR ONE WHO SNICKERED. When t-qme one “snickered” In the audience, Gipsy Smith drew himself up brectly and said slowly: ”1 thought I had your judgment and your intelll- | gence. Oh, God, give me a chance to ltn- | press Thy message upon these people. “Y'our churches are going mad over ! pleasure and if you do not find a John j the Baptist to call the church to a halt, the church Is lost. “I am not saying that you should not have recreation In pure pleasure, but 1 i do demand that you put God in His right j place.” ' Noticing that the audience made no demonstration of approval, Gipsy Smith said: “I know T am right when you i don’t seem to enjoy it. But I am going ; on. I know I am right. ‘ "If you are In with the world, you are | out with God. If you are properly con- | verted your So-called friends will cut you i mighty fast or they will get right with j you. You cannot serve two masters at the same time. “Your salvation Jesus Calvary. It meant hanging between two thieves on i a cross for Jesus. “Do you think it will cost you nothing? It costs something to get right. Are you prepared to pay the costs? When God shuts the door, which side will you be on ? “I pray that the sermon as spoken and I read in the papers will saTe thousands , In Indianapolis.” TELLS OF CASE OF A WOMAN. He said that a woman, who is employed in one of the leading banks of this city, after reading his Sunday sermon in a paper Monday evening, said i that she felt the conviction and sent word j that she was ready to become a Christian. ! “I'eople are being saved In this place and in their own rooms," declared Gipsy Smith. On Sunday afternoon a meeting for men only will be held at the Tabernacle. The evangelist has announced that the women of the choir can attend, because he would “say nothing Sunday afternoon which I could not say to the purest-minded boy.” On next Monday night the sermon will be of Interest to all church officers, Sunday School teachers and other officers. Special admittance cards will be given out so they can enter the tabernacle before the doors are thrown open to the public Monday night. Before Gipsy Smith began preaching last night the Rev. C. H. Winders of the Church Federation asked the people ' to give a more substantial collection so the needed $23,000 to pay the cost of the tabernacle could be met. Gipsy Smith walked to the front of the pulpit and said: “I do not get a cent of this money now being raised. If your clothes are paid for and you are out of debt, put more than 10 cents in the pan. You can’t get a seat in a theater for 25 cents. If we ! can creep out of the collection by put- ; ting in the smallest coin, we do It. The Lord said to give according to your means, but some of us give according to ! our meanness. Some of you men could give a ten dollar bill and not miss a smoke. You are not giving me this money, you are paying your debts.” The evangelist again takes the pulpit at 7:30 tonight. Killed in Wreck at Indiana Harbor Special to The Times.

MEAT WORKERS VOTING TODAY ON WALKOUT Wage Controversy Nears Climax—lndependent J Plants Shut Down. 2,000 ARE DISCHARGED CHICAGO, March 16.—The controversy between packers and their employes rapidly drew toward a climax today. Developments were: 1. Taking a strike vote among butchers and meat cutters. 2. Meeting of representatives of all union employes of packing companies to consider a walkout of all trades employed by puckers in sympathy With the butchers and meat cutters if they strike. 3. Closing down of independent packing companies in stockyard district in the “unsettled conditions.'' 4. Arrangements continued for mediation conference in Washington with government officials. Taking of the strike vote proceeded without any disturbance. Booths were erected at the main gates leading to the packing plants in the yard district and the men cast their ballots as they went to work. The early vote, union leaders said', overwhelmingly favored a strike. About 2,000 men were thrown out of work by the closing down of the small independent companies. The move, officials said, was due to the "strike talk," unsettled market conditions and especially declining prices for meat production tind lack of demand.

DECKER BOY’S UNCLE TELLS OF HIS BEHAVIOR (Continued From Page One.) claim Decker killed Lovett so that his family might collect the Insurance after identifying the body as that of Virgil. FIND DEATH DIE TO GUNSHOT WOUNDS. A coroner's investigation was called and It was decided that death had been caused by gunshot wounds Instead of by the train striking the buggy. Lovett’s relatives Identified the body positively as that of Leroy. The body was clad in clothing belonging to Virgil Decker. Pecker appeared at the home of Lovett In Elkhart Friday and asked the youth to accompany him to his home over Sunday. Decker told Lovett that his folks were away.

DELAY MOVE TO BALK STRIKERS Pattern Firm’s Suit for Restraining Order Postponed. Hearing on the petition for a temporary Injunction brought last week in Federal Court by the Acme Pattern Works of this city against twenty-one members of the Pattern Makers’ Association of Indianapolis, to prevent them from Interfering with the operation of the plant during the pattern makers’ strike which Is now on, was postponed today owing to the fact that Judge Albert B. Anderson was unable to hear the case. The petition alleges that since the strike was called last December employes of the company, both at its shop at Delaware and Ohio streets and at Us foundry on South Harding street, have been coerced, threatened with violence and actually assaulted, and that the plants have been picketed. Two instances of alleged assault are cited in the petition. It Is stated that in January one of the defendants, Edward Jeffries, and other men, followed Frank Miller, an employe of the company, from work and when he reached his residence assaulted and beat him. For this, it Is stated, Jeffries was fined $1 and costs and sentenced to serve fifty days at the Indiana State Farm in city court. On March 3, it is said, Harry Poore, an employe, was assaulted by Charles E. Reed, a defendant. The complaint further charges that Francis J. Dillon, business manager of the union, is largely responsible for the strike and alleged conspiracy to Intimidate nonunon workmen and to force Indianapolis concerns, employing about 200 patternmakers, to consent to a closed shop agreement. Tbs defendants are: Francis J. Dillon, busiuess manager of the union; Albert C. Keers, president; Albert Ott, secretary; Charles M. Taunt, Mitchell F. Raferty, Charles E. Keen, Oscar L. Etter, Thomas R. Mattingly, Christian E. Carlsen, Herman P. Schlld, William Landmeler, Carl F. Warweg, Don C. Cutsbaw, Edward Jeffries, William J. Dwyer, Albert F. Moseman, Walter Schmidt, Charles Gasper and John Dreagsser. Only three defendants, Thompson, Yaunt and Carl sen, were employes of the Acme Pattern Works wheji the strike was called. Asa result of the strike It Is asserted that since December the plant has operated only on a part-time basis, that the force in the foundry has been reduced greatly and that only six men now work In the pattern shop as against fifteen be fore the strike was called. INCOME TOTAL IS SHORT OF 1920 More Returns Filed Here, but Less Cash Paid. In contrast with the scenes Tuesday, when Income taxpayers swarmed over the third floor of the Federal Building In a last mad rush to file returns, the place looked like a deserted village today. Heaps of unopened letters and the large force of clerks trying to catch np with their work bore testimony, however, to the amount of business transacted. Although many more returns were filed this year than ever before, William L. Elder, collector of Internal revenue, said total receipts were almost $1,000,000 short of those last year. He does not believe the deficit will he this large, however, for be thinks many taxpayers who paid In full last year are taking advantage this year of tho provision permitting payments quarterly.
