Robison, an opponent in the race for the Republican nomination for mayor, in a speech at 548 West Washington street, Sunday afternoon. He charged Mr. Robison with being opposed to the interests of the laboring classes and touched lightly on his business record. "I don’t wish to injure a man's reputation just because he is my opponent in politics,” said Mr. Shank, "but I think it due the people of Indianapolis that someone warn them to look iuto Mr. Robison's business career. From what I know of it I do not think him qualified to give the city the businesslike administration he is promising." SAYS "NEffS HASN'T COTTEN THING WRITTEN.’ Mr. Shank, speaking at the I’., C.. C.

C ARNE FIX ATTACKS MR HOWE’S CANDIDACY. Louis Carneflx. insurgent city councilman, attacked the candidacy of Mr Thomas C. Howe in a speech at River avenue and Morris street Saturday evening. Mr. Carneflx went thoroughly into the feud between Mayor Jewett and certain members of the council, which he said grew out of the mayor's desire to ignore properly constituted city officials and to let certain Columbia Club friends run the city. “The confident, paternalistic attitude of the News-Jewett crowd Is due for a rude shake-up this spring.” said Mr. Carneflx. “Such flagrant hypocrisy won't deceive the people any longer. While the Indianapolis News urged the people to wake up and choose their o>vn candidate. Professor Howe, the News' own candidate, is busy assuring the people that the News-Jewett crowd can do anything it chooses to do in Indianapolis. "Charlie Jewett and Ralph Lem'-ke did not want Professor Howe for the machine candidate. They knew he was not a strong man. But the News picked him and Jewett and Lemeke had to accept him. No one in Indianapolis knew Mr. Howe outside an exclusive circle in Irvington. COOPERATION LACK FELT. "The same attitude on the part of Jewett and bis Columbia Club friends which resulted in lack of coporation between the mayor and the city council, is being felt throughout the city now and ts making (Continued on Page Two.) 13 FINED UNDER PARKING LAW Safety Zone Rule Penalties Imposed.

NEW PRECINCT BOUNDARIES TO BE ANNOUNCED Council to Pass on Ordinance “Prepared for Changes in Districts. WATCH MOVE IN CAMPS Changes in city precinct boundaries of such nature that the majority will be made to conform to the present county precinct boundaries and the remainder split up so as to create fifteen or sixteen new precincts will be submitted to the city council for action at a special meeting tomorrow night in the form of a redistricting ordinance. An ordinance fixing the boundaries of the six councilmanic districts also will be introduced. Only minor changes will be made in the latter, It is understood. The city legal department, aided by the Republican ward chairmen and the city civil engineering department, has been working on the precinct boundary changes for more than a week. Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby ts drafting the councilmanic district measure. 141 PRECINCTS AT PRESENT. Cntil the council passes the new ordinance the product boundaries us they existed in the municipal election of 1911 will be In force. There are 141 such precincts. The county commissioners since that time have changed the boundaries for county, State and natlonnl elections so that the same territory comprises 154 precincts. If iifteen or sixteen new precincts. In addition to the number included in the county/ boundary arrangement, are added by the new ordi- ! nance, there will be 180 or 170 precincts In i the coming municipal primary and election. Some of the changes are being made, city administration men asA rt, to include territory annexed to the city since 1017 tn the city precincts. Otherwise, it la said, persons residing in this territory would be deprived of their right to vote In the city elections. It is understood that the precincts in the Fifth, Seventh. Eleventh, Twelfth and I Thirteenth wards will be changed only so as to coincide with the county boundaries, but that in all the other wards additional products will he created makI ing It necessary to make practically every boundary different from both Ibe pres ent city and county boundaries.

Is that true?” he asked. "Yes,” was the answer from the audience. "Then you ought to teach your boys something else besides arithmetic. When I went to school we were taught to treat young ladies with respect.” Evidence that the messages of Gipsy .Smith are reaching the hearts of thousands qf Indianapolis citizens was presented when the entire audience at Ihq noonday meeting rose to its feet in response to an appeal for those ho had accepted Christ, to staud.

At first there was a feeling of sympathy for Williams when Manning made his charges, but since then the tide has changed. Anger and indignation have taken hold of the citizens, who have witnessed every statement of the negro farm hand borne out by investigations. It is charged that Williams inis leon a notorious "nigger worker." and that in Monroe County, where he formerly lived, he was burned out for cruelty to employes. It has developed that Williams kept his negro workers on his plantation in a strong house. Stout wood bars were on the windows and heavy bars guarded the entrance. This piace was guarded uuriug the night by Clyda Manning, who was an employe of Williams for fifteen years, and Charlet Chisholm, trusted negro, who later, according to Manning's confession, was slain by Williams and denning.

NEW ATTACKS JAPS - ALLIES SECRET PACT Denounces Combination as Detrimental to America’s Interests. Irrevocable hostility to the League of Nations, distrust of Great Britain’s friendship to the United States and denunciation of the secret understanding between England, Japan. France and Russia, by which certain islands of the Pacific, including Yap. were granted to Japan, marked the address of Senator Harry S. New to members of the Service Club, at the weekly luncheon of that organization at the Hotel Lincoln today. "I am irrevocably opposed to the entry of this country Into the League of Nations,” Senator New said, "because I believe it to be a lasting detriment to the interest of the United Stutes. This Nation must lie strong enough to look out for its own interest regardless of the attitude of other countries. I have heard it. said that Great Britain can be depended upon to protect the Interest of the United States. It certainly does not look as if that country had our interests greatly at heart when it entered into a secret undertaking with France, Russian and Japan by which Japan was granted the Isle of Yap and other islands that lie directly in the path between this country and the Philippines. Today Japan is busy fortifying those islands and the cable between this country and the Philippines touches Yap which means that If Japan has that Island it can scrutinize every cable message passing between this country and our Eastern possessions. “I will not say that there will be war between this country and Japan for I hope that such an event never will come about, but 1 do say that there Is a conflict between the interests of the United States and Japan and that the secret understanding between other countries and Japan put control of aome of these Interests in the hands of Japan.” Senator New denounced the "hyphenated American,” saying: "If a man comes to this country and cannot be a true American he should be put on a boat and sent back to the country from which he came, and no time should be lost about it, either.”

PROFITS FROM CAPITAL ASSET SALES INCOME Taxes Must Be Paid on Funds So Derived, U. S. High Court Rules. INVOLVES MANY CASES WASHINGTON, March 28—The income tax law of 1918 is constitutional insofar as it provides that a profit derived from the sale of capital assets is income and taxable, according to a decision handed down today by the United States Supreme Court. The test case was taken by the Merchants’ Loan and Trust Company of Chicago, trustee of the estate of Arthur liyerson. The amount involved m this suit was $311,242. A number cf other cases of importance testing -.he validity of the law were taken to the Supreme Court of the United States at the same time. A simiiar decision was rendered in Iha case of the El Dorado Coal and Mining Company of Illinois. Involved in these cases is one of David M. Goodrich of New York, who claimed he was being taxed on a loss in value of stock securities. Goodrich xeeame owner by gift of stock in the B. F. Goodrich Company of Akron, Ohio, prior to March 1, 1913, and sold them after that date. When he received the stock it was worth $201,000. On Mar -h 1, 1913, It was worth $148,000. When sold it brought $039,346. He was taxed on the difference in value between the March 1, 1913, quotation and the sale* price. HOLDS NO TAX CAN BE LAID ON LOSS. In the Goodrich case the Supreme Court held that no tax could be laid on a loss. The lower court was reversed in part and the case was remanded for a further bearing. In the case of Fred F.
