PRINCE UDINE GIVES CAPITAL SEVERE SHOCK Washington Belles Dance With Royal Guest, Then Fear Contagion. ITALIAN NOT BLAMED Prince Udine, cousin of the King, was a groat favorite with Washington society and a much sought dancing S' partner—Baseless rumor startled Capital belles —Prince proves his regard for democracy by his choice of complaints—Udine was an indefatigable worker for Italian cause, and distinguished officer of the navy.

All rights reserved, Including translation Into foreign languages, including Scandinavian. Unauthorized reprinting for any purpose forbidden, ARTICLE 9. The coming of Prince Udine to the capital brought to Washington society not only one of its most pleasurable thrill, but, beyond all question, its most agitating shock. Os the latter the Prince was the innocent and unconscious cause. Washington society, like the society of all other American cities, gave itself with whole-hearted devotion to war service. Youth and beauty and charm engaged in arduous tasks for the Red Cross or the Liberty Loan campaign, and many a society belle went weary to her bed at night as a result of having done a real day's work for her country. All of us who bore something of the burden in those days knew the joy and satisfaction to be derived from a sense of exhaustion every tired tingle of which was due to the expenditure of strength, for the sake of America. But there had to be hours of relaxation, times when the strain was relieved Ky diversion. Mind and nerve could not (and the high pressure continuously. MISSIONS SI'PPLI RELAXATION. The theaters, the movies, golf, baseball—these all helped rational morale. They were as necessary as the stimulating appeals of posters and martial music and flags. So it happened that in Washington the missions from the allied nations served , a double purpose. Their primary purpose, of course, was to lay before the American government all the facts and conditions without renerve. and to place before responsible officials the true situation as they had learned it. But a secondary purpose which Washington discovered for them was to provide excuse for that relaxation which everybody felt was requisite. bt which seemed to demand some extraordinary occasion In order to justify it. Our distinguished guests must be entertained. It was a patriotic duty to see that they were treated with the utmost hospitality. It was a duty we owed, not alone to ourselves, hut to the common cause. These men who came out of the atmosphere of war, with the weight of nations on their shoulders, were entitled to their hour of play, and it was our privilege to play with them.

YOUTH HAS ITS CLAIMS. It may be that there were those 'who regarded this phase of our war duties with greater pleasure and interest than aome others, but youth is youth, and love and laughter and the dance—even in war time—are youth's right. Those who visited London during the dark days when Taubes and Zeppelins were raiding the metropolis remember that many a brilliant gathering was to be j seen in the dining-rooms and lia’irooms of the great hotels, and that entertaining the soldier on furlough or the sailor with shore leave was regarded as a mandatory duty and a high privilege. On all of the missions which came to America there were men, of course, for whom the lighter forms of entertainment held no attraction. But on all, or nearly all there were men, young, high-spirited and socially inclined who welcomed the opportunity to meet our American women and girls, to exchange compliments and to dance with them. The Italian mission was composed of the most delightful gentlemen, with all the Latin grace and courtesy and the Latin skill for paying a delicate compliment in the most fascinating manner. PRINCE CAPTIVATES ALL WASHINGTON. But Prince L'dine was the man who, from the first, provoked the interest and won the favor of Washington society. To begin with, the Trince was a cousin of the king of Italy, which enhanced the value of his title. Furthermore, he wns unmarried, and in these drys unmarried princes are showing an inclination to seek wives in spheres less elevated than their own. Beyond this, he was handsome, charming and danced divinely—what more could you ask? Society was thrilled! Society pursued the Prince. There were many receptions and dances. The Prince was tactful In conferring his smiles, and many of the most beautiful belles of the capital danced with him. | The series of events reached a climax j in a big hall at which the prince was ; the guest of honor. That night he wns more gracious and charming than ever. He danced almost continuously and with impartial appreciation for the youth and loveliness which thronged the ballroom. With proud thoughts of the impression they had made upon the romantic scion of Italian royalty the captivating daughters of Washington returned to their homes in the early morning following a perfect night. Memory would dwell happily upon that night for years to come. Then, suddenly, rumor! “No! Who said so! Preposterous!!

HOWE TO MAKE RACES EQUAL AT CITY HOSPITAL Promises to Put Negro Girls Beside White Women in Nurses’ School. HECKLING IN EVIDENCE The wonderful—aye, the marvelous, things the administration of Mayor Charles W. Jewett has done for the negroes of Indianapolis was the chief topic of speakers at meetings last night In the interest of Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College and N’ewsJewett candidate for mayor. Professor Howe himself Joined in the praise of the present administration and made a few’ promises to extend favors to negroes, among which was one to favor placing of negro girls alongside white girls in the nurses' training school at the city hospital. Edward Galllard, negro, who was relieved of his position as assistant custodian of the Statehouse by Governor Warren T. McCray a few days ago, disclosed Just how much of the taxpayers’ money is being used for political purposes. NEGROES GETTING $300,000 A YEAR. "Do you know," shouted Gaillard at a meeting at 808 Indiana avenue, "do you know that our people are being paid by this administration $500,000 a year? Do you know that under this administration that we have more members of our race in public offices than ever before? Never before have wn had a colored police sergeant, two colored detectives, three clerks in the county treasurer's office, clerks who stand right up there with the white people and exercise their clerkships to the white people, a deputy city controller and Harrison Collins, assistant street Inspector?" ' Hecklers gave Professor Howe nnd Dr. Sumner A. Furnlss, negro member of the city council and Mayor Charles W. Jewett's "man Friday," some anxious moments at a meeting In the Senate Theater at 1329 North Senate avenue. The crowd had paid admissions to see a movie, but the show was stopped In the middle of a film and Professor Howe was introduced. He rambled on with the same speech about wanting "us all to be friends and to go down the four-year road together,” and how he does not want the city government to be made a Joke of. In the midst of hie talk a negress with a penetrating voice piped out a question about what Professor Howe was going to do about the high taxes. Professor Howe rambled right on. The woman heckler held her peace until the candidate had closed, when the chairman stepped to the front of the stage and pointing in the direction from whence the question had come, asked If someone wanted to ask Professor Howe something. The crowd howled with glee. The woman came right back with: “Yes, 1 wanted to ask a question. Why don't he say something about ‘Jim-crow’ laws ?” Before that question could be answered a negro, seated In the rear, broke In: "We have very respectable colored ladles and very respectable white ladies. I want to ask Professor Howe If he is elected if he will put the white ladles and the colored ladles side by side at the city hospital?" HOWE OCCUPIES THE SPOTLIGHT. Questions wejr coming thick and fast and Professor 4< llowe was bothered hy the fact that he had to stare Into the glare of a strong spotlight which was (Continued on Page Nineteen.)

NEWS IS NAMED CO-DEFENDANT IN $200,000 SUIT ‘Conspiracy’ Charged to Sway Public Mind and Intimidate Officials. BROUGHT BY C. C. SHIPP Charging that a “conspiracy" was entered into by the Indianapolis News Publishing Company, the Henkel Publishing Company, Delavaa Smith, Louis Howland, Richard Smith, William H. Blodgett, Jesse E. Eschbach, Walter J. Twiname and William F. King for the alleged purpose of contriving a “scheme and plan of publicity to incite such condition of the public mind” and also to create an impression of a trial court in Marion County as well as to cause certain public officials to shrink “from their performapees of duty to avoid the turmoil and violence which the publications invited," Clarence C. Shipp of C. C. Shipp & Cos., producers aud manufacturers of heating and ventilating devices and equipment for public buildings and schools, today filed civil action before Judge Harry Chamberlin of the Marion County Circuit Court asking for $200,000 against the Indianapolis News and the other alleged conspirators. SECOND SUIT FILED |'■ BY SHIPP. This salt is the result of an apparent determination of Mr. Shipp to protect his interests in another suit filed in the Marion County Circuit Court, March 19, 1921, against the members of the department of Inspection and supervision of public offices and others including Jesse E. Eschbach and Walter J. Twiname. In the former suit, Mr. Shipp seeks to "determine the validity of certain pretended rules and regulations of the department of supervision and inspection of public offices and of certain usages and practices thereunder” and “to have the same declared ultra vires.” Mr. Shipp claims in his $200,000 damage suit filed today that his former suit 1J still pending in the Marion County Circuit court and claims that The Indianapolis News, Delavan Smith and others have conspired to injure the plaintiff by “a scheme and plan of publicity to create the impression on the mind of the court before whom causes were pending to which this plaintiff wag a party, that the court could not. decide the matter before it but the one way and against she plaintiff without giring rise to such state of suspicion as to the integrity and fairness of the court's | purposes and motives as might engender u shrinking on the part of the court 1 from its true sense of duty." SAYS COTRT ONLY RECOURSE. In his damage suit Mr. Shipp claim* that he is "wholly deprived of and excluded from any agency to meet and counteract the influences of the Indianapolis News, which has determined to and set out to injure and destroy the reputation nnd character, the civil right and worth and value of the property of this plaintiff and, therefore, plaintiff has no lawful recourse other than the courts and to tfibse agencies of the law which Government has provided to protect the weak and helpless against the oppressions and wrongs of the powerful and strong.” The complaint, which contains 149 pages and which was prepared by Williani V. Rooker as counsel for Mr. Shipp,* tecites more than two dozen nllei-n,) acts entered into by the Indianapolu News and the other defendants to injure the plaintiff. The suit again reveals the hidden ownership of the News during the lifetime of the late Charles Warren Fairbanks and shows that this secret ownership was not publicly revealed until after the death of the former Vice President. It is stated In the suit that “the Indianapolis News Publishing Company Is a corporation of great wealth and vast resources engaged In the collection and dissemination of news and, likewise, when said Indianapolis News is so Inclined, libel, calumny, obloquy and detraction.” DETAILS SET OUT IN HIS COMPLAINT.
