Watch the records for orders setting aside judgments this week! INCIDENTALLY, Tom Meeker’s troubles now are nothing to what they will be if he continues to play with Tom Riley relative to the election boards! MR- THOMAS C. HOWE, formerly of Butler College, does not appear to understand his opponents’ request that he Join them in efforts for a clean primary. HARMONY seems to be the middle name of the aspirants for the honor of leading the Republican party in the city campaign, as is demon•strated by the fight at the market place! IN OTHER WORDS, Dean Emerson has completely “exonerated” his college of the charges of cruelty to dogs and he cannot understand why any one should be dissatisfied with the self-exoneration. IF MR. SHELTON would give more particulars concerning the “particular kinds of coal” specified for the State institutions he would shed some light on why the present administration rejected all bids. Emerson 9 s ‘Exonerations 9 The letter of Charles P. Emerson, dean of the Indiana University School of Medicine, in which he calls upon the citizens of Indiana “to insist that this unjust persecution of the school and of those who as the result of their investigations have exonerated it shall cease,” is unique, to say the least The dean, writing in behalf of an institution which is publicly accused of the violation of the laws of the State, asserts, without a particle of basis, that the college has been "exonerated,” even though it has never been prosecuted, never investigated by two agencies which the dean names, and the report of the one investigation made by the agency he names has not yet been prepared. We do not know what the executive committee of the Indianapolis Humane Society will report relative to the charges of cruelty to animals that have been made public and which it is said to be investigating. Dean Emerson apparently does, for he asumes that it will “exonerate” the school even before It reports. But. it cannot be denied, if the committee from the Humane Society and the Indianapolis police department have exonerated the college, the “exoneration” would be of much more value to the college If It were mace public by the committee and by the police department, rather than by the very Institution under investigation. The truth of the matter is, of course, that no agency other than the Times has made any investigation of the cruelty to animals and the methods of procuring these animals for experimental surgery at the college. The Times, the only agency through which investigation has been undertaken, has not “exonerated" the medical college, for the very good reason that it has no power to “exonerate” any one. Neither has the Indianapolis police department nor the Indianapolis Humane Society. This Is almost as preposterous as the statement by the dean that the county assessor has “exonerated” the college. We wonder if Dean Emerson is prepared to rely on "exoneration” by a committee of the Humane Society headed by his very good friend. Dr. C. A. Pfafflin, as a defense in a court of Justice against charges of mutilation of dogs, harboring untaxed dogs, harboring unlicensed dogs or contributing to the delinquency of a boy who surreptitiously obtains dogs for use in “accustoming the students to the sight of blood?
Rohison 9 s Bold Stand In the announcement of his platform as a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, Edward J. Robison talked good sense relative to the things concerning which the people of Indianapolis want to hear. He did not hesitate to lay himself open to the criticism of the crowd of stock jobbers and utility manipulators who mulcted this community in the consolidation of the two gas companies and chortled over the manner in which they grew rich at public expense. He invited an attack on his sincerity when he suggested that the only manner in which such combinations as the present News-Jewett machine could be prevented was by the abolishment of the garbage collection and asphalt bureaus maintained by the city as an outlet for public money through the use of which political machines are kept together. He advanced some sane and practical methods by which the taxpayers of Indianapolis may he relieved of the enormous burden which they are now bearing in order to support the News-Jewett political machine. There may be differences of opinion regarding Mr. Robison’s proposed remedies for the things that are now afflicting our city government, but It must be conceded that Mr. Robison has had the discernment to find out what is wrong, the courage to point out the wrongs and the constructive ability to evolve remedies. This entitles him to consideration of the deepest kind In his candidacy. Nevada 9 s New Law The Governor of Nevada has signed a bill providing for the use of lethal gaß for capital punishment, so that now the murderer hero —if he can be so called without offense —Is shuffled off without being shot, hung or electrocuted. It is proposed to build a cell which is air tight and then, when the occupant is asleep, mercifully to turn on the gas, and give a painless death. Without inviting any experiences in this new law, the novelty of the thing attracts. The criminal is supposed to be unconscious before the gas Is turned on—he is not, then, talked to death for lethal gas is not so applied. Its names arises from the ancient Greek tradition that a river called the Lethe separated Hades from the Elysion fields and that souls who drank thereof forgot all that was said and done In the earth. The death is painless. Just why Nevada should first have adopted this law when there are many reasons other States should, cannot be explained, unless there is greater humanitarian feeling where inhabitants are scarce and cacti abounds. Illinois has the largest chemical laboratory In the country, at Its State university and Chicago could furnish sufficient subjects between her riots, murders and the like, so that a quick demonstration of this method could easily occur if desired. However, a State that can be so considerate of divorce hunters as Nevada can well afford something different from other States. Possibly the death penalty is inflicted for cattle stealing, and various crimes even leading up to murder. What Is the term to use on such an occasion? To say gassed robs the victims of the war of dignity highly earned. Will somebody please step forward, who will neither be shot, hung nor electrocuted but who will, nevertheless, be transplanted over the Great Divide by this new route? Relegating Railroads It costs only ten dollars to fly from London to Paris, thanks to private enterprise which is maintaining regular trips. It costs practically that much to go by train from Indianapolis to St. Louis, or from Washington to Philadelphia, but, of course, the flying people do not have a long roadbed to keep up nor are they, so far as known, subject to congressional legislation and Interstate Commerce Commission restriction. There Is danger in going up in the air, but likewise there is the record of more deaths in bed than any other place. Still people do go to bed. The old excuse that a person died In a bath tub is not accepted Saturday night. Railroads seem to have passed their palmy days. It is almost forgotten that a railway magnet coined or at least uttered the expression, “The public be d—d.” So much depends upon their ability to furnish transportation that with them inactive, all business is paralyzed, or is it the reverse? They are very close to the general economic prosperity of the country. The trolleys cut into the passenger traffic, then the flivvers took the railroad's place in excursions. Along came the trucks and “relieved” the roads of freight and lastly, the through passengers may be carried by airplanes. The final outcome cannot be told, but it is sure the attitude of “the .public be d —d” Is no longer the policy of the railroad management.
LITTLE TOT TREATS DOG’S TAIL IN HARRIS MOVIE Ince Produces Powerful Movie—Barrie Delightfully Done—Reid on View
You love children? Sure: And you love Id o g s?

l y
Mildred Harris* head and then proceeds to bandage the tall of Fldo. this little Incident goes a long way in making this dramatic movie a human document. This little Hedrick youngster does some real acting when he Is suddenly stricken with infantile paralysis and the •way he puts over these scenes before he is cured by the love of his mother, shows what a good director can do with even a youngster for an actor. “The Woman ts His House,” which was presented at the Circle yesterday for the first time of a seven day engagement, is a powerfully constructed story, it Is sure fire and the director has reduced the dramatic tension by cleverly using the Hedrick boy. The story concerns Dr. Philip Emerson and his wife, Hilda. The Emersons do not get along very well because he treats his wife not as a wife Dut merely as the “woman” In his house. The doctor ts not at home when his child becomes 111 and another doctor pronounces the child “dead.” Mrs. Emerson places the blame on her husband and charges that his neglect was the cause of the child's death. After his wife leaves the room, the doctor discovers that the child is not dead but is a hopeless cripple. For weeks he keeps the boy in his laboratory, treating him while his wife thinks the boy dead. The wife falls the victim of a society men of no principle but she is rescued from a bad step and brought back to her home by a true friend. She is led to the laboratory and when her son eees her, the lad stretches out his I ml>shappen limbs and walks to her Motherlove did thut which science could not do. The story ends with tbo Emerson* happy and reunited. Ramsey Wallace plays the role of I>r. , Emerson In a careful and sincere tnan- ! ner. Mildred Harris, the divorced wife ' of Charlie Chaplin, is the wile of the | doctor. John M. Stahl, the director, has wisely handled Mildred Harris and her | work Is more smooth and convincing than ;it has been for many months. The reI malnder of the cast is adequate. Opinion: “The Woman in ill* House” is a movie with a dramatic theme; the characters are well developed: the action swift and convincing although it is hard to believe that a mother would not ascertain if her child was really dead.

Back in London Willie Chase gives a resplendent party to bring back to Nance her old gayety, but into the midst of it walks Blair Cornwell, who has been made rich by the death of a Canadian relative. He mocks her but permits their secret to stand.

Knows” is being presented this week on the screen. Barrie is always quaint and his quaintness of expression has full sway in “What Every Woman Knows.” William De Mllle produced this picture and he has caught the delightful spirit of Barrie's humor and has photographed it with telling results. First, the director secured Lois Wilson to play Maggie Wyllo and then Conrad Nagel to impersonate John Shand. In second place, the director has not tried to re-write Barrie, but was content to photograph the abounding humor of this splendid writer. Some of us might think that the humor of- Barrie is over the heads of the averuge movie audience. Far from it, Judging by the applause and laughter heard at Mister Smith’s yesterday afternoon. The audience had a “bully time” and I heard several say on leaving the theater that they would return and see the picture again. The story concerns the three Wylie brothers, each rather advanced in years and all of them love their sister Maggie,

In the movie version of "If I Were King,’ now at the Ohio, William Farnum playa the role of Francois Villon, which was played by E. H. Sothsru in the stags version. The Villon role is a romantic one and the action of the story takes place in the time of the weak Louis XI of France, in the movie version, Fritz who is rapidly becoming an old maid. She is sad at heart in the beginning of the story because the minister had decided to marry another. The brothers are about to retire for the night when they tell Maggie that a burglar has been visiting their library twice a week. They plun to catch him. The "burglar" takes nothing. They wait. The ‘‘burglar” turns out to be a student who can not afford to buy ifooks, so he enters homes where there are libraries and "swipes" the knowledge the hooks contain.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES A A etc Serial of Young Harried Life ’By Ann Llsla— ————
CHAPTER CLXXXIV. Our first home in the Walgrave hsd j been only a little court room, yet for a moment I thought of it with regret when I beheld the big, formal suite Jim had i taken for our return visit. Then the glowing mass of red roses caught my eye and warmed my heart. With a glow of happiness that brightened the whole room I buried my face in the fragrant mass, and as I did so an envelope tucked under the vase caught ray eye. I Jerked out tho little card it contained and read: “Hall and farewell, dear lady tenant. All happiness wherever you abide." There was no name on the card, bnt it wus quite clear tha flower* were from Tom Mason. From Tom Mason! And I lmd been so happy for a moment, dreaming they were from Jim! Then it became suddenly Impossible to deceive even myself. I sank down in a chair and -stared accusingly at the beautiful red roses which would have made me so happy if only they had come from the right man—from my Jim. The last two hours had been a series of disappointments. First there was Neal's refusal to give in one inch, to übote one Jot of his- I had to confess it —Justifiable animosity toward the Harrisons. Then the curt message that business would keep Jim out 'till late—Just when I was counting on the softening influence of our environment to right things between us. And now the flowers. Jim might so easily have thought of them—why did they have to come from Tom Mason? “This loveless existence Isn’t natural. I can’t stand it!” I said grimly and aloud. Then I got tip and hurried into the bedroom. There were Jim’s suitcase and my little black bag. I unpacked by possessions and Jammed them hastily into tho gray enamel bureau. Then I carefully divested myself of the hat and coat I was still wearing, slipped off my dress and folded by kimono cosily about me. Next with the utmost care I arranged Jim’s things in the chifforobe. At last there was nothing left for me to busy myself with, so I voiced my thoughts aloud: “I can't stand dining alone. I can’t!” I said. Then wildly I began calling tip folks. Virginia. She was out. Carlotta. No better luck. Even Tom —to thank him for the flowers. Pat Dalton. But he, too, was out. The whole world seemed -gayly dining out. Only I was alone. Hastily I opened my trunk and pawed through it until I came to my best dress—the gray nnd rose. Flinging it encouragingly across the bed, I bathed nnd combed by hair with extra care. If I had to dine alone, at least I needn’t look so unattractive that people would think I was—Just what indeed I was—unsought and undesired. IVhen at last I had made myself as fine as possible, I hurried out to the elevator nnd down to the main dining room. At the door, the sauve captain stopped me: “Madame expects friends?” he asked. “Madame is looking for her party?" “They aren't in this dining room,” I stammered, more truthful in fact than in intent. .
Maggie at the end of flvo years if they pay for his education. With the regular Barrie touch the “burglar,” who is John Shand agrees and in five years’ time he is. elected to parliament. His rise to fame turns his head and he fails to see that it is the influence of his sweet, devoted and knitting little wife, Maggie, who Is responsible for his success. Barrie causes John Shand to realize the thing that every woman knows—that men who become famous think that they did it all when the wife knows she is the cause of it all. Lois Wilson is Maggie and Conrad Nagle is John Shand. Both do some acting which will make them as popular as Vera Gordon was in “Humoresque.” Opinion—“ What Every Woman Knows” will be one of the six best movies of the year, according to my standard of Judging pictures.

Then I fled. Back to my room I went, and telephoned for the waiter. I managed to make a good dinner, dragging out the rite of eating as long as possible. Then i went In nnd rearranged Jim's neckties and collars with meticulous effort. Next I telephoned the newsstand for some magazines, and with them I established myself tn my gray and rose elegance in the big living room. I must have dozed, for when I woke with a start dawn waa creeping In through the windows. As I began to adjust myself to my surroundings the idea came to me that perhaps Jim had come in and thought it kind to let mo sleep. Guiltily I rose and hurried into the bedroom. There was no idgn of Jim. A sob of fear caught in niv throat. And then my eye chanced to light on the china Indicator under the telephone. It was illuminated with the words: “There is a message in the office for you." As I started toward the telephone my foot caught in the hem of my dress. I stumbled and fell. For a few minutes I lay huddled against the foot of the bed, wondering stupidly and unhappily what the message might be. More excuses from Jim, of course. At last I rose wearily. After all there was nothing to do but phone down and see.—Copyright. 1921. (To be Continued.)

But now that her sister-in-law had departed Mrs. Hooper felt moved to take stock of the family wardrobe as sho went up stairs for the weekly dusting and picking up and inspection. She already knew just what new things Helen must have, and as she went through her clothes, she realized that very few of them could be refurbished for future, use as the child had outgrown them, but she set them aside to be ripped and pressed so that they might be made over later for Betty. She finally concluded to put all of the week dress allowance and whatever of the month's surplus was necessary into material for Helen's new clothes and accessories, when she went shopping on Wednesday and then by sewing industriously for the next couple of weeks, the whole matter of

HOROSCOPE "The stars Incline, but do not compel!’*
TUESDAY, APRIL I*. According to astrology the morning of this day should be very rortunate. The Sun and Mercury are In beneflo aspect during the early hours, but later Venus, Jupiter and Uranus are adverse. Promotion of any enterprise through advertising or personal appeal to men in positions of power should be successful before noon, but after should not be attempted. Increasing popularity for the President of the United States is indicated by the stars. Persons whose birthdato It is may have a busy year and should not speculate or risk money. Children born on this day may have eventful lives in which they meet reverses but triumph over them.—Copyright, 1921. •
what Helen was to wear for the rest of the Reason or until early fall would be ended. Mrs. Hooper cut Helen's dresses all from the same one-piece pattern for a foundation, which rnado every one exactly alike as to simplicity of line and becomlngness. Then she developed each one into a garment suitable for school or home or the street by using different materials and trimmings, and each garment was apparently original In design because of the grent variety of ways in which they could be trimmed or embroidered or ruffled. Much time and effort was thus saved In fitting and adjusting new patterns, and all her energy and ingenuity were put on the. finishing that made them distinctive and different. Mrs. Hooper’s notebook at the close of the Inspection showed rather a long list of the things she would have to buy, even for Helen’s modest wardrobe, but In her mind's eye she could see the child really very well dressed indeed on what would be considered by many as a small sum for one girl's clothes for the sum mer.
