pAILIWICK’ OF HOWE ENTHUSES [ HfS TWO RIVALS

Both Robison and Shank Well Pleased With North Side Reception. HALL CROWD COERCING? Edward J. Robison and Samuel Lewis Shank, candidates for the publican nomination for mayor, invaded the north side last night. Managers of the rival contenders today asserted that they are well pleased at the results achieved In territory which the camp of Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former head of Butler College, and News-Jewett candidate, has elected to claim as its ow T n private bailiwick. f An attack on the city hall organization's methods of bolstering up their candidate by attempting to coerce the city employes Into supporting Mm was delivered by Mr. Robison, at 747 North Callfornui street, and that was followed by gatherings at Seventeenth and Y'nudes streets and 721 West Walnut street. At the North California street gathering Pr. Amelia R. Keller, a director In the newly organized Indianapolis Republican Club, preceded Mr. Robison In addressing the voters. Pr. Keller emphasized the business capabilities of Mr. Robison and pointed out that when he was county several years ago his administration was commended because of Its business-like conduct. "He will use the same business methods and careful conduct of office when he Is mayor," Dr. Keller said. “ROBISON EMBODIES BEST ESSENTIALS.” "Mr. Robison Is for economy, too," Pr. Keller asserted. She outlined the campaign Issues and added that of the three candidates Mr. Robison possessed the Qualiilcatlons necessary for a successful administration. Pr. Keller urged the women of Indianapolis to participate In the coming primary and assist In selecting the right men and women for the various tickets. Mr. Robison at his meeting outlined his platform, which embodies a program for the progress of Indianapolis la a civic. Industrial and business way. He declared that the city planning program would result In a beautiful city end (Continued on Pago Two.)

RATE HIKE WILL BE TEMPORARY Service Hoard to Grant Increase Until Franchise Is Surrendered. On the ground that ths Ir.dlaaspoli* Street Railway Company will aurramlei lfs franchise as soon as the new law permitting it to do so becomes effective, the public servlie commission will Lane an order granting only a temporary increase In rates to take care of the company until the franchise Is surrendered, It was learned today. The order will bo Issued early next week. The surrender of the franchise will mean that the company will cease to operate under Its present contract with the city and that It will corns under th% direct control of the public service commission. Under the present arrangements ths commission can grant only “emergency" rates while the contract rates remain as basic charges. If the company surrenders Its franchise the commission would have the power to give It rates sufHclent to show a fair profit. The city of Indianapolis Is opposing the surrender of the franchise on the grounds that It would relieve the company of the necessity of paying SII,OOO a year In franchise taxes and that It would cause the cHy to lose some of Its control over the company. The Indunapolls Street Railway Come pany, then the Indlanaapolls Traction and Terminal Company, was one of a number of utilities which did not surrender! their franchises under the provisions of the public service commission act. It was reported In the Legislature that the new law granting an extension of time for the surrender was passed for the express purpose of permitting this utility to come under the public service commission. During the course cf the hearing on the company's petition for Increased rates Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel of the city of Indianapolis, asked a witness If the company Intended to surrender lts franchise. Ferdinand Winter, counsel for the company, objected that this was an Improper question and his objection was sustained.

Forty Dogs Procured at Rushville for Dissection by Students, Police Told

The Indanapolls police department received a rerort on tho methods of the Indiana University School of Medicine In procuring dogs to be dissected in ths teaching of surgery on or about March 6, In which It was charged that ‘ approximately forty dogs had been collected for the use of the college at Rusbvllle. Detailed Information was given as to who was gathering up the dogs and when they would be transported to the "death kennels" at Indianapolis. The records show that this information was transmitted by the chief of police of Indianapolis to the peculiarly conducted “petit police department” known as the “humane officers,” where the report and the information it contained actually moved the “humane officers” to the extent of causing one of them to writs a letter to Rushville about It. In the information directed to tbe cMef of police appears these statements: “I am w r ritlng to you in regard to a medical Institute at ;f*nr city, out by the Long Hospital, wyileh comes to Rushville for dogs to dissect for the students.

FRANCE CRAVES MORAL SUPPORT, SAYS VIVIAN! At Dinner to U. S. Senators, Envoy Expresses Hope for U. S. ‘Sympathy/ INDEMNITY* UPPERMOST

WASHINGTON, April I.—France, through her envoy. Rena Vtvlanl, stood before the United States today seeking tho “sympathy, understanding and moml support" of th's country. French problems outlined broadly and without specific presentation of detailed issues were laid before four United States Senators when M. Vlvlanl met them at a dinner given last night by Ambassador Jusserand. Reports received from the meeting indicated that Its character was largely social, that both Vivtani and the Senators spent a good part of the evening In appraising each other and that language difficulties prevented any Intimate discussion of Franco American relations. In the exchange of after dinner pleasantries, however, Vlvlanl sought to emphasize the French point of view* on the poet war situation. So far us can be learned no mention was made specifically of the League of Nations or of any new association. Neither did the subject of tbe French debt enter thp couverssJtion. Vhlanl, however, spoke of the French problems growing out of the war, of the people’s attitude toward Germany's failure to fulfill the peace term* and of France's hope that the world would recognize the Justice of her present day position. The discussions did not develop to the definite question of American participation In the European post war settlement. but Vlviani’e remarks generally were accepted us the expression of ho*pe that the United States would commit herself on the reparations question. France desires, according to the Impression received by Senators, that this allied Insistence that Germany pay the war Indemnity. Vivian! indicated his belief that America does not fully appreciate France’s post-war position nor realize the extent to which he believes Germany Is seeking to evade the peace terms. Vtvlanl planned to return to New York toduy for the week end.

AUTOS LISTED AT INSURANCE VALUATIONS Assessors Agree to Consider Depreciation in Fixing Assessments. CENTER PROPERTY HIGH Plans wera made at a conference today with County Assessor James C. Douglass and P. M. Tillman, a representative of the State board of tax commissioners, with the township as. sessors of Marion County to assess all automobiles at their Insurance valuation minus depreciation with consideration to their tradlng-ln values. This resulted when Mr. Tillman eta fed that one of the deputy assessors' reports shows that a small sedan of the 1919 model was appraised at $350 In Center Township. Michael Jefferson, Center Township assessor, stated that It should ba assessed at about S7OO or SBOO. He maintained that the average value of the machines In Center Township would be $631.58. Mr. Tillman declared that the average of the work of tbe assessors last Friday In Center Township did not figure as high as Mr. Jefferson claimed. “You can twist figures and make ’em lie,” replied Mr. Jefferson, “but when the smoke blows away Center Township will ba (lßseesed higher for automobiles than other townships.” "I am giving you the figure*, the In dividual figures as I found them,” said Mr. Tillman. “I know that a small sedan should be more than $360." CENTER TOWNSHIP HOUSEHOLD RATE. When the conversation turned to household furniture, Mr. Jefferson stated that tho "households In Center township are getting more than their share.” "That Is riot so,” said Mr. Tillman.

LAW FOR TRANSFER OF FAIRGROUNDS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL State Can Not Issue Bonds for Purpose of Carrying on Affairs of Department of Agriculture.

Because the State cannot issue bonds under tbe constitution for th purpose of conducting the affairs of a department of agriculture and of the State Fair and Fairgrounds, the State board of agriculture today decided to defer the transfer of the fairgrounds to the State and to Issue <420,000 in 6 per cent bonds in the capacity of the old board which <was a quasipublic organization. The last Legislature provided that the fairgrounds property should be transferred to the State, the Governor to hold the deed, that the board of agriculture should be a State board, and that bond3 should be issued for the purpose of paying off the indebtedness of the old board.

Clemency for Dennis J. Bush Not Likely Now Indications Are Frantic Efforts of *Good Government's Ring Will Fail. Perm Is J. Bosh will not be granted clemency by the State Board of Pardons despite the efforts of the combined "good government and clean politics” organization, according to very definite Indications at the State House today. The recommendations of the pardon board to the Governor probably will be made public tomorrow. Bush Is serving a sentence of four months at the Indiana State Farm for instigating an assault and battery In the 1914 campaign. Ilusli was sentenced more than four years ago in Criminal j Court after nineteen Indictments charging payroll padding and other fraudulent actions had been dismissed on motion of the State as a reward for his services in behalf of the so-called "good government" organization. The case was appealed to the Supremo Court, where it remained about four years before the finding of the lower court was sustained. Then another long delay ensued, but Bush was finally committed to the farm. An effort then was made 1,0 have Governor Goodrich pardon him. Among those who attempted to persuade the Governor to grant a pardon or parole was Adolph Seldenstlcker, chairman of the pardon board. Mr. Seldenstlcker said he took no part In the Bush case, as it came before the board because of his past activities. When Governor Goodrich refused to grant clemency an attempt was made to persuade Governor McCray to issue a pardon or a parole, but he turned the case over to the pardon board. Among the persons who were actively engaged In attempting to obtrln a r’.r den for Rush were Mayor Charles \V. Jewett, United States Senator Harry S. New, Leo K. Fesler, county auditor; Ralph A. Leincko. county treasurer; K"bert E. Miller, former county sheriff; John W. Castor, county recorder; Thomas A. Riley, member of the bo:ird of public works; John W. Ilnltzmaa, attorney for tho Indianapolis News; Alvas J. Rucker, former prosecuting Attorney; Ernest L. Kingston and H. C. Atkina. NOW READY FOR PATRIOTIC DAY Committees in Charge of Legion Event Plan Overflow Meetings. All Is now in readiness for the big Amerionnlzation meeting to be held under the of the American Legion In the Gipsy Smith tabernacle tomorrow night. Final plans have been completed, the presence of Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of Chicago as principal speaker of the evening has been assured, and the only question remaining is how to handle the tremendous throng that will be on hand to demonstrate Just how thoroughly American Indianapolis and the Hoosier State are. Overflow meetings to be addressed by Judge Landis and other speakers are being planned. A proclamation urging citizens of Indianapolis to get behind the celebration and to fly the American flag from homes and places of business was Issued by J. F. Cantwell, chairman of tho Marion County council of tho legion. The proclamation Is as follows: “To the Former Service Men of Marlon County: “By your presence at the monster Americanization meeting at the Gipsy Smith tabernacle tomorrow night yon go on record us red-blooded Americans who stand four square in their patriotism, who are in the combat division today against destructive influences see.klng to undermine the unity of our people as much as you were In combat divisions when you fought In No Man’s Land at the zero hour three years ago.

Thera is room in Indianapolis for loyalty only to God and country.” The banquet of the Service Club to be given at the Riley room of the Claypool Hotel at 5:45 o'clock In honor of the speakers and gnests of the big meeting will bo the means of cancelling a large portion of the expense of the cedebration, which will cost, according to estimaies of the finance committee, between SBOO and SI,OOO.
