BRANCH SENDS SIZZLING WORD TO PRESIDENT Enters Protest to Appointment of E. I. Lewis to Commerce Job. Lieutenant Governor Emmett Forest Branch of Martinsville has refused to line up with the peculiar political combination that has practically succeeded in placing E. I. Lewis, chairman of the Indiana public service commission, on the Interstate C* iamerce • Commission in Washington. He has sent a bitter telegram to President Harding, protesting In vigorous terms against the recognition of a man "who has never turned his hand over for the party” and who ‘'is a representative of the Indianapolis News, which fought you so bitterly.” The lieutenant governor's explosion has somewhat jarred the nerves of the Republican politicians who have been proceeding placidly along the route, Landing out Jobs here and there without thus far stirring up a muss. Lieutenant Governor Branch's message to the President is as follows: “See by newspapers that E. I. Lewis of Indiana is to be appointed a member of the Interstate commerce commission. I believe In efficiency connected with party loyalty. Lewis has never turned his haiffl over for the party. Our success is due to recognition of worthy party workers. This is the doctrine of party workers in Indiana and as one of them, I protest against the selection of Lewis for such an important place when other Republicans of ability and party activity are available. Os course, . my j*psition is only that of Lieutenant Governor of Indiana and you know from past experience (President Ilardlng was Lieutenant Governor of Ohio! what that means, but nevertheless reflect here the sentiment of the rank and file of the real Republicans of Indiana who do things In the State. Lewis is a repre- j sentative of the Indianapolis News, which fought you bitterly." Mr. Lewis ia'lhe selection of Senator' Harry S. New, whose principal object is to strengthen his line for the expected battle for renomination against Albert J. Beveridge. Political leaders point out, bow that Branch has broken the ice. that j Lewis never got down in the trenches and worked for the party and for political i reasons few can see any great object to j be attained in his appointment. It must be remembered, however, that Lewis was given his pres-mt r l *®® by j former Zlovernor James P. Goodrich and ! that his election for the interstate commerce Job is the first recognition ac- j corded what formerly was a formidable machine in Indiana politics. It is not too j far to assume that Senator New believes in being on friendly terms with Goodrich and that the appointment of Lewis may be one of the moves.

April 19.—Augusta Victoria, “empress of sorrow,” was laid to her last rest here today in the Antiken Tempel, an antique mausoleum just off the Palace Sans Souei, built oy Frederick the Great. The old Prussian King bad named it so because it was The place where he forgot his cares end sorrows. The. funeral of the former Kaiserin was the most imposing event seen within the former German Empire since the days of the Hoheaizolleru reign. The special train carrying the body arrived at Wild Park Station hare promptly at 10:43 o'clock last night.

DENNIS BUSH SET FREE BY ‘MISTAKE’ (Continued I'roin Page One.) cture to the document, nor by herself, nor by I'd Jackson. Secretary of State, who affixed the s- al or rrv* state of Indiana on the papers, imr by Miss Jeanette Harris, executive clerk, who occupied a similar position under Governor Goodrich. Miss Bush said the error had been rectified, and that the recommendation had b“en recopied, eliminating that portion which referred to n parole. She said the matter would be called to Governor McCray's attention immediately ■n his return. Whether the Governor will rectify the affair and order Bush's “parole” revoked, or whether he will allow it to stand is a matter of much speculi*!on. The Governor declare! einphatcaliy when he was being pressed to reaso Bush that under uo circumstances would lip grant the man his freedom. FRANTIC EFFORTS TO FREE CONVICT. Never in the history of Indiana has such a desperate effort been made to obtain executive clemency for a convict as was made in the case of Denny Bush, con* I fessed defrauder of the city, acknowledged race pool operator and convicted ; assailant of a State official. The trail of the effort to. free lii-n from ! a penal farm sentence imposed* about six j years ago extends from Washington, D. Ce through the city hall of Indianapolis and permeates the Statehouse. Throughout the administration of three Governors the effort has been prolonged. It originated in the Criminal Court of Marion County, became well known to the Supreme Court of Indiana, and was the subject of a dispute between the office of James P. Goodrich and Mayor Charles W. Jewett as to the authenticity of a note concerning a call made on Goodrich by Mayor Jewett In which Jewett is purported to have recommended the release of Bush. Senator Harry S. New is among those who pleaded for the release of Bush. Practically every county official has at some time or another recommended clemency for Bush. The State board of parole recently publicly announced that it had refused to curtail Bush's sentence, ♦ but had recommended that his fine he remitted. TWO VIOLATE AUTO LAWS. T. W.

force economy, not because I have no plan, but because I do not want to prom-i.-e any single thing that I cannot do. I have not had the opportunity to determine just what city departments can best stand cuts. “They tell tne sometimes that I am too rough with the professor. I am uot concerned with the feelings of any man when the welfare of an entire city is at stake. Professor Howe failed as a preacher some years ago. He resigned as president of Butler College because he was only getting $3,500 a year and the athletic director was getting something like $7,500. lie thought the trusties would refuse his resignation and raise his pay, hut they fooled him. They had appointed him in the first place hoping for a large donation from his wealthy wife and it hadn't come through. “So t>r more than a year the professor has been out of a Job. dependent on his wife for tils spending money. No business concern of Indianapolis or elsewhere came forward with u Job for him. His wife has extensive interests In Kokomo, Kansas City and elsewhere, hut he Is not the directing hearty of any of those concerns. He Isn’t even secretary. HOW IKMVE ENT ERED < AM P A lON. “Some of Tom’s friends seeing him out of work and sleeping late mornings while they were at business decided that he ought to go to work. Someone had a brilliant idea. ‘Let’ • elect hlip mayor.' he j says. There Isn’t much work in that Job and what work there Is we can do for ! him. It will give us a nice respectable mayor and we ll get just what we want at the same time.' “Now is that the way we want to hire a mayor? Wouldn’t it lie wiser to pick a man who had made a an 'c*ss of business and had had experience running the city. I want you to decide your attitude toward me by looking over my record as mayor and as a lifelong citizen of Indianapolis, j “Ed Robison says he 1* willing to spend more than the office of mayor pays to get it lai order that ills boy may always boast tVtt. papa was once mayor. Fid is no millionaire. Ills buslnnss career is chiefly notable for the number of failures he has been connected with. If you believe he has money to spend on such an ambition your look* deceive you. •SPErm, PRIVILEGE' BACK OPPONENTS. “Part of the old crowd of special privilege seekers arc behind Howe and the rest are behind Robison. When thieves are divided the righteous come into their desert*. “We are going to win this election, and If Is not going to he stolen from us. You may take my word for that. Why, up In the Fourth ward we have got more workers than we got votes the last time, and they had to steal to keep me out then. I’olis from all over the city Indicate that this will be a landslide.” Mr. Robison, speaking at flve meetings In various parts of the city last night, j carried his attack on the city hall or j gnnizatlon to larg • audiences. At the St. Mary’s Church, 1725 Shelby street. ! he charged figit the organization was j using coercion on city employes to force them to support the man the organization favored for the nomination. CAM PA UiS ATTR AC TS RECORD INTEREST. ”1 have participated In political meetings fop many years, but never did I see us much interest In a primary campaign ns is being shown by the men and women voters Indianapolis,” Mr. Robison said. “It means that they desire a house-cleaning In the Republican party and they want to see a clean election. “Why, the huge attendance nt my meeting* indicates that there will be scons of voters who want to repudiate the ReI übllonn machine's domination In primaries and they know that by supporting me they will sure y do that. The machine has dictated Republican politics long enough and it is high time that the voters declared themselves against such methods.” He has five meetings tonight, the Atlas Theater, Nineteenth street and Mrtln dale nvenue; the Dream Theater, Station street: 712 North Senate avenue; It H. C. Hall, East and Michigan street and at Eleventh and Sueu.cid streets.

The hall was almost filled by the women voters who are participating in their first primary. "I am not here solely ns a candidate, hut as a citizen and a taxpayer Interested in the city’s welfare,” Professor Howe told the employes of the Pennsylvania railroad shops in a speech at noon today. 'When I am elected mayor of Indianapolis I'll be mayor of Indianapolis." he continued. “I by that that I'll assume the full responsibility of man aging the city government aipl I expect to give the best that is in me to keep the faith with the people of Indianapolis ” FINED S3OO AND GIVEN 6 MONTHS.

INMATE EVENS UFOLDSCORE Victim of Alleged Frame-up Causes Arrest of 3 in Tiger Raid. Three men were arrested last nigh't charged with operating a blind tiger after Federal officers had raided a still in a barn at Dr. Don J. Miller's truck farm, 3943 South Meridian street. Dr. Miller tvas one of those arrested. The others are John Noon, 1319 Blaine avenue, and Victor Lockwood, 1321 Blaine avenue. The plan to catch the gang dated back i to the time Lee Graham was arrested at Martinsville in company with four other men some months ago on the charge of operating a blind tiger, after Federal agents had raided a big still near that city. The court found Graham guilty, but the agents failed to produce evidence ' that indicated the others were guilty. One of the men arrested but not convicted at that time was Victor Lockwood, it Is said. Graham wanted revenge on Lockwood for the alleged frame-up that sent him to the Indiana State farm. The Federal officers gave him his chance for revenge and ten days ago obtained a parole for him from Governor Warren T. McCray, that Grabapi might find the still for the Federal officers. Graham obtained the information and then returned to the Indiana State farm, from which place the Federal officers are attempting to have the I Governor parddn him. In the raid on the barn at Dr. Miller’s farm the Federal agents claim they found two forty-gallon stills and one fifteengallon still, 750 gallons of mash and eighty-four gallons of “white mule” whisky, and a filtering outfit which is said to Improve the whisky. The barn was arranged in such a way that the odor of the liquor and uinsb could not escape, and it was fitted for living quarters, with kitchen and cooking outfits, beds and electric lights. DF. Miller and Noon gave bond after their arrest. Lockwood is ill at his home with pneumonia and bis condition was such that he could not be moved.
