SHANK AGREES WITH WOMEN’S MARKET VIEWS *Yes’ Is Answer to Each Question Propounded in Uplifters’ Questionnaire. STRESSES MANAGEMENT Snmuel Lewis Shank, Republican mayoralty candidate, Is in complete agreement with the market committee of the Community Welfare Department of the Woman’s Department Club on problems connected with the city market, according to his reply to a questionnaire sent out by that committee. In replying to the women, Mr. Shank took occasion to say that be favors appointment of a woman to a position of authority over the market; that he wants women on the park board and that he is not opposed to a women police system, but rather to the extravagance and inefficiency of the present system. The letter, addressed to Mrs. Ira M. Holmes as chairman of the committee, is as follows: GIVES ANSWER TO EACH QUESTION. “My Dear Mrs. Holmes—l hope yon will accept an apology for the tardiness of the writer in replying to your letter containing questions about the city market. I assure you that I felt no perplexity over the points raised In that connection, “I shall take up the questions in order. The first: “ ‘Will you, if elected mayor, retain the market revenues for the Improvement and maintenance of the market, the only use which can legally be made of these funds?’ “My answer Is YES, • “The second: “Will you actively oppose the diverI alon of the market funds into the general fund of the city? “My answer is YES. “The third: "Will you make a practical improvement of the market one of earliest official acts of your administration? “My answer is YES. “I wish to say further that I regard the women of Indianapolis as the best authorities on the city market, and shall be quick to avail myself of their advice in the handling of any problems that may arise. Women are the buyers on market and are more immediately concerned with conditions prevalent there than are men. “There should be a woman connected with the control of the market, either as market master or assistant to the market master, the determination as to which of these positions she should fill being dependent upon the relative executive ability of the persons available. I will ee to that without delay if I am elected. “The market sewage system should be (Improved immediately to provide proper .sanitary drainage. There should be a woman's rest room and comfort stations v Such matters, as you know, can be taken care of very easily wtrn the funds derived from market rentals. No effort should be spared to make the market clean, wholesome and convenient. “I understand, of course, that the especial concern of your committee is the market, but I want to take this occasion to make clear my position on two other issues. I intend to have women on the park board. That is a department in which women are particularly well j lequipped to serve. I have never condemned the women police system, but t have contended that the city has not - had the value of the $50,000 a year which j the system has cost under the present ! administration. I advocated the ere- ] ation of such a system ten years ago ! and was ridiculed for the suggestion. | “I hope you will pardon these digres- ! sions, but I am much Interested In get- j ting my true attitude before the women of Indianapolis, and, as you no doubt know, all the avenues of public communication are not open to me.” THROWS SPOT ON ‘FAMILY QUARREL’ Meeker Tells Democrats of G. O. P. Dissension. In a letter cent today to precinct committeemen Thomas D. Meeker, Democratic city chairman, calls attention to what he terms the “bitter family quarrel'' among the Republicans and urges the committeemen to do all iu their power to insure a clean primary. Mr. Meeker’s letter Is as follows: “The Republican party in the present campaign is in the throes of the most bitter family quarrel in its history. “Split into three great factions, each faction Is abusing and accusing the other. It is constantly and publicly charged by each that the other is going to steal the primary. The air is thick with rumors that a gigantic fraud is being planned and engineered by the Republican party to corrupt the primaries on May 3. “What basis there- may be for these charges, accusations and recriminations we need not stop to inquire. But it is our duty to do all in our power to see that the voters are protected and fraud prevented. Effort is being made, lam informed, by each of these factions In the Republican party, to enlist the sympathy of some of our Democrats to one side or the other and thus involve us in this indecent family rumpus. “I desire to remind you that it Is always imprudent for an outsider to inject himself into a family quarrel, especially when the flat irons and rolling pins are being wielded so vigorously. With this dissension in the Republican party we have no concern. It is your duty to see to it as far as you can that every voter is properly protected and every vote properly counted and fraud prevented. “As far as I am able to determine, in the Democratic party there is no factional strife. Neither should there be any. As chairman I am interested in no particular candidate. There will be no slate or hand picked nominees Issued from Democratic headquarters. On this you may absolutely depend. “I am acutely concerned In seeing to It that the primaries are kept clean and decent and It Is your duty as precinct committeemen to assist in this endeavor. With your help we can do much to prevent corruption and see that fair play prevails.”

RICHMOND, Ind., April 23.—Wayne County, as a whole, seems to be comparatively free from the clover weevil, although Henry County, adjoining, reports heavy damage in some localities. Inspections show that at only two points the clover had been damaged. These were in New Garden and Center Townships. The recent freezes, it is believed, killed some of the worms. The mild weather during March Is thought responsible for the prevalence of the worms in Henry County. Here’s Real Piece of Detectives’ Ability DETROIT, Mich., April 23.—Two fox terriers chasing rats knocked over a can of nitroglycerin, or knocked wood against it, and caused the explos.on that killed three persons last Thursday, police announced today after investigation.

LILY-WHITES MAN MACHINE IN CITY RACE Negro Candidate Pays His Respects to News-Jewett Faction. REVIEWS FIGHT NOW ON “The JLily-Whlte Ring’ of the Republican party still Is in the ascendency in : the News-Jewett machine,” declared I)r. I James K. Norrell, negro, candidate for ! the Republican nomination for city coun- | cilman from the Third district, in a letter ! to the editor of the Daily Times today. The letter is as follows: “I take this method of Informing the many readers of the progress of the three cornered fight now on for mayor. Notwithstanding the bold statement of the Indianapolis News that Robison is a poor third, I find, after visiting a large number of the primary meetings, from three to four meetings a night for the past two weeks, the fight, the real contest, is between Shank and Robison. DENIED PRIVILEGES OF HOWE MEETINGS. “At their meetings I also find that they have given me a square deal and permitted me to spean and present my claim for the nomination of councilman along with the other candidates, but it |is not so at Howe's meetings. There I ] have frequently been denied the right to be heard in common with white candidates. “It is a shame on our race to think of supporting a man who is backed by such a narrow-minded people, and who constantly refuses to recognize any merit or rights of the colored people. I am still of the same opinion as I was when : 1 ran for the last Legislature, that the ‘Lily-White wing’ of the Republican party is in control backed by Jewett's man Friday. “This same bunch brought out Dr. W. E. Brown as a candidate against me for the avowed purpose of preventing a negro from being nominated again for the common council. He was brought out under the guise that he will be supported by the administration and that ! he is the most popular candidate, when they know or should know I will receive five votes to his one. “Jewett's man Friday, Dr. S. A. Furnis, had rather see the council without a j colored representative unless he can be the one. He doesn't want a colored man to succeed him. That's why Dr. W. E. Brown was brought out at the last moment in order to show thetwhite voters that the colored vote is divided, and not united on one man. Such selfish hypocrisy is unthinkable, coming from a man that all supported In his election, and have been disappointed in Uls official conduct. He has been but a willing tool, and a stool pigeon in the hands of the political machine. CITES EFFORTS TO COERCE. “The methods of the Lily-Whites is such that they should be denounced by every voter of the city, regardless of color. There are 1,300 voters in the employment of the city administration. There every known effort is being brought to bear to coerce them to vote the machine ticket under the threat that if they do not vote the machine ticket they will lose their Jobs. I’ersonaliy, I can see no in their methods than that adopted by Williams of Georgia who forced negroes to remain in peonage under liis employment and work for him under the pain and penalty of death. ‘I will get your Job,’ says Jewett's man Friday, who is in control of the negro wing of the Howe party. “I appeal to you as men and women of self respect. 1 know you will not permit yourself to be coerced into voting for any man who Is machine picked nud who denies to a colored man the right to speak in common with other white candidates 'at their meetings. "Down with the Lily-White machine, and Jewett's man Friday.”

WATCH MOVES OFJVANNUNZIO Italian Government Concerned by Poet’s Ambitions. ROME. April 23.—1s a '•Republic of Italy” the latest dream of Gabrielle D’Annunzio and does he aspire to be its first president? There are increasing signs that such is the case. The poet-warrior's attitude toward Italian national life, and particularly toward the national elections, Is regarded as having all tlio earmarks of far-reaching ambitions on his part. He has refused to stand as a candidate in the elections at 7.ara and in other districts where ho could have been easily elected. Tho general impression is that he is “out for bigger game." Nor has he lost in popularity. On tho contrary, support is steadily coming to him from quarters formerly hostile to his policies. At the celebration of the birthday of Rome, for Instance, fascistl (conservatives) and nationalists joined his own followers in cheering D'Annunzio's “republic” and there were even shouts expressing tho wish that he would enter the quirinal' palace. In reply to a telegram from Trieste veterans, the poet wrote that “Parliament shall be destroyed, the Uappatlo treaty with Jugo slavia shall be cancelled and Italy's constitution shall be made the same as that which I gave to Flume.” This is the only part of a welldefined movement launched by D'Annunzio to win the support of the common people as well as of the fascistl and nationalists. It is a movement that Is looked upon with unconcealed misgivings In military and political circles and the government is known to be watching it closely. D'Annunzio, ostensibly living in “retirement” at his village at Garda, is really in constant touch with his officers at Flume, who in turn are now allied with the fascist! leaders in the principal cities of Italy, including Rome. City Manager Hopes Are Lost at Bedford Special to The Times. BEDFORD, Ind., April 23.—The fight j for the city manager form of government J was virtually abandoned here today. \ City Clerk Ralph Smith reported to the ; council that many of the 700 names on a petition asking for an election on the manager form of government were faulty ! and that after they were stricken out there were not enough names left on the petition to call for the election. Supporters of the new plan prepnred to file a petition for a mandamus order directing Smith to certify the petition, but they have given up this idea. Richmond Will Have Gideon Day May 15 Special to The Times. RICHMOND, • Ind., April 23.—Gideon Sunday is to be observed in Richmond May 15. Nearly every church in the city will entertain a Gideon on that day. Arrangements have been made for members of this organization to speak at Sunday school and ch-ureh services. Both the City Sunday School Association and the Ministerial Association have indorsed the enterprise. Gideons from all parts of Indiana and Ohio will visit hers.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, APRIL 23,1921

JEWETT FROTHS IN HIS ATTACK ON DAILY TIMES (Continued From Page One.) backward about calling attention to things unfavorable to his record. Former Chief of Police Samuel V. Perrott and former Mayor Joseph E. Bell, Democrats, were dragged out of the past and paraded as objectionable persons by the mayor. He declared that the jury which tried Mr. Bell in Federal Court upon vote fraud charges disagreed, and “that biot still 6tands over him.” FLEMING ALSO CENSURED. Henry Fleming, negro, whom the mnyor directed the board of public works to oust from the position of assistant superintendent of street cleaning several months ago, came in for a share of the general eruption. “A certain colored boy whom I trusted and gave a responsible position in my administration has been Baying that in my campaign he stole 500 votes for me,” said the mayor. “That's a groat admission for a man to make. “If Henry I’leming said he did that he never had any instructions to do that and if I hud known he was doing it I would have turned him over to the grand jury Just as I would havo uny other election crook.” After touching on oppression which he said the Negroes suffered under a Democratic administration. Mr. Jewett said j that if tlie Democratic party had been ! successful in the national election last I fall Lew Shank would now be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for I mayor Instead of Republican. “Lew talks about election frauds. Well, Lew Shank had representation on every election board four years ago and whet he did to me in some of the precincts where he had the whole board would have shamed some of the worst election crooks we have had in the past. But I never kicked. I don't do business that way. If he had defeated me I wouldn't have said anything about it." He charged that Shank in his statements that the Shank administration as mayor cost $10,000,000. whereas the Jewett regime will cost $2(1,000,000, was representing as his total expenditures only those which are taken out of the general fund and as the Jewett disbursements everything paid out of every fund. DENIES RESPONSIBILITY FOR HOM E’S CANDIDACY. Responsibility for Professor Ilowe being a candidate was disavowed by the mayor. Politicians have suspected this, but this was Mr. Jewett's first public admission of the fact. “He wasn't selected be me. I'm not his sponsor at all,” said Mr. Jewett. “Thirty-five men, representative of the best interests in the Republican party, selected him at their own instigation." Persons who know the facts gasped at the mayor's audacity when he stated that for three years he has been trying to get a nurses' home built at the city hospital so that there will bo room to house negro glris who wish to take training to become nurses, but that all this time the Shank men in the city council have blocked ordinances to make it possible. lie said that not three weeks ago the Shank men in the council had voted against the ordinance again. Records of the city council will show that until about two mouths ago an ordinance providing for a bond issue to erect the nurses' home never was sent to the city council and that since that time this measure was Introduced the administration members, who control the committee to which it was referred, have never reported it so that the ant!-administra-tion cotmcllmen could even get a chance to vote for It. RAISES ROBISON CHANCES AGAIN. The j>ropaganda to the effect that Mr. Robison has no chance whatever of being nominated, which the ITowo forces are Industriously spreading because they real- j tze that Mr. lloblson has gained thousands of votes that otherwise would have gone to Mr. Ilowe, was furthered by the mayor. He also Insinuated that Mr. l!<yb Ison has said he Is willing to spend more than the salary of the mayor's office will leturn him In order to get elected. "There Isn't any man who can spend $30,000 to get elected mayor unless he is a millionaire and wants to serve for noth ing," said Mr. Jewett. “Why, it costs

any man who is mayor more than his salary for donations to the hundreds of public benefactions lie Is called on to support. There Is only one mayor, but there are 325,000 people and pretty nearly all of them have a path right up to his door.” Former mayors appeared to be among the mayor's pet antipathies for the evening. for he included Charles A. Bookwaiter In the list of citizens whom he scored. Mr. ltookwalter is supporting Mr. I Robison. He criticised Mr. Robison for his plafI form pledge to scrap the city asphalt : plant and get street -eantng, repairing I and other public services done by prlj vnte contracts, and declared that Mr. j Robison whs one of tho stockholders In | the Indianapolis Hauling Company, j which, he said, fell down upon the city lash hauling contract early In the Jewett administration. ' SAYS TAXES CHEAPEST THING. “The cheapest thing we've had in the j last four years has been our taxes," he j said, replying to criticism of his nd- | ministration for Its extravagance, j The mayor recalled ono thing he had j forgotten to accuse the Daily Times of land returned, to the subject with great I enjoyment. lie was telling the audience how he had lost almost a whole night's sleep standing down at police headquarters and the county Jail holding at l ay a mob which lie said included 5,000 people who wanted to get hold of a negro boy who had murdered a white girl He I boasted that he quelled the disturbance i and saved the negro boy for ihe courts to deal with. Tho Daily Times, the mayor shouted, was responsible for tho gathering of that tnob because of a statement in its editorial column expressing fear that the Republican regime In tho county, city and State would follow its usual course and let the negro murderer off with a suspended sentence or a parole. Relating that tho murderer was senteced to die a little more than a week after his crime was committeed, the mayor said: “I said at that time that that was one of tho time's when I would have liked to have seen a colored jury try the defendant, and I said that a jury of black men would have sent him to tho electric chair Just ns quickly as white men did.” Getting back to taxes, the mayor said that the “safest thing any candidate can promise is that lie will lower taxes, because I'm going to cro that myself next fall.” FINISHES ON SHANK, He wound up with a flight of vltuperous denunciation of Mr. Shank, asserting that tho “respectable citizens of this town are not going to elect Lew Shank mayor, I don’t care whether he gets the nomination or not.” At this point some persons in the audience recalled Mayor Jewett's statement at a meeting at Fountain squaro in the campaign in the fall of 1917 that he was going to be mayor whether he was elected or not. He charged that Mr. Shank is backed and will be controlled ns mayor by “Bill Armitage, the king of the gamblers that Mr. Shank has promised his appointive offices to “twenty different sets of men,” and finally' subsided to let other speakers get oratory off their chests in time to let the highly excited audience go home and snatch a few moments’ rest before time to go to work this morning.

Wants to Be Clerk

JOHN TV. RHODE IIAM EL, J. TV. Rhodehamel, 1730 Orange street, is a candidate for the nomination for city clerk on the Republican ticket at the primary election May 3. “Ilhody,” as his friends call him, has been chief deputy city clerk during the last three years and is therefore familiar with the work in that office. Mr. Rhodehamel 1-as teen an accountant for more than twenty years, having been chief bookkeeper and accountant during that tftne for two of the leading stores in Indianapolis. He was a candidate for nomination at the last primary but was defeated by George Ilutsel. After Mr. Hutsel was elected city clerk he named Mr. Rhodehamel chief deputy clerk. tender, in speeches last night and today -corchingly arraigned Prof. Thomas C. Howe for charging that tax reduction promises were Intended to deceive. “Taxes must be reduced,” Mr. Shank declared. “Our social and economic fabric will not stand another debauch of extravagance like the one now passing. I’rices must come down and to float eud the commonwealths which levy taxes must do their part. They should be among the first factors in striving so a return to normalcy. Can any business man or learned professor see any way out of this mess without a radical change of administration methods? OPPOSED FOR KEEPING PROMISES. "Thousands upon thousands of Indianapolis citizens are idle, others have suffered great cuts In their incomes—this applies to business arid professional men as well ns working men. And yet Professor Howe Is indorsing the Jewett administration and accusing me of deception when 1 solemnly promise to force tax reduction. No man in Indianapolis can saj that I ever failed to keep a campaign promise. The chief opposition to me now arises from the fact that 1 did keep my campaign promises whereas the selfish Interests of the city supposed my promises were the usual bunk." Mr. Shank scored Mnyor Jewett and other speakers of the Howe campaign for the methods used in attempting to corral the colored vote. “Rosy promises to the colored man constitute the chief thunder of the Howe campaign," ho said. "It is folly to attempt Justification of Jewett among thinking people, white or black," he said. "So they uru spending their time and effort wooing the colored vote. Talk of sectionalism. If that is not a move to disgust recent people! Fanning race consciousness! "Intelligent colored voters do not want to be differentiated from the whites by promises of unusual favors. They want to be treated like other citizens and given n square deal.” Mr. Shank spoke last night at ISO 6 Columbia avenue and ls<>2 East Twelfth street. Tonight hj will speak at West Mi -hlgan and King streets. HM4U| South East street and 532 Drake street, ROBISON FLEDGES BIG SAVING.

Republicans of the Ninth ward last night staged a big meeting at the McKinley Club, 2217 East Michigan street, for Mr. Robison. Torn Greenlee, ex-city employe, presided and Introduced Mr. Robison. The candidate outlined his platform and his policies for reducing tSM-s in Indianapolis dwelling upon his plan for scrapping the costly snd Inefficient municipal street repairing, ash nnd garbage hauling systems and supplanting them with efficient iind competent contractors. “By doing this I will save t least $200,000 a year," Mr. Robison declared. The candidate pointed out that a business man nnd not a professor was needed to govern Indianapolis the next four years. Fred Bonlfleld, Dr. Am.-dta R. Keller and ex Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter addressed the McKinley Club members in behalf of Mr. Robison and emphasized his qualifications for the office of chief executive of the city. The meeting was attended by a largo numtier of Ninth ward workers nnd followers of Mr. Robinson. nnd represented the fact Hint much interest is being taken in the primary. Mr. Robison had other meetings at 945 West North street, S4O East Tenth street. Eleventh nnd lirook street, 1702 North Illinois street and Meridian and Merrill streets. Tonight he speaks at the Thompson Club on the liortn side, and Archibald Hall, in behalf of Mr. Robison, speaks at the engine house at Thirtieth street and Kenwood avenue. The remedies for the high cost of living that are being proposed by Mr. Robison were described as "simply suggestions being thrown out to fool nnd mislead the voters” by Professor Howe, in a speech at noon today to the employes of the National Malleable Castings Company. “There are some gentlemen going about the city telling the people what they can do toward making living cheaper in Indianapolis if they are elected mayor,” said Mr. Ilowe. “They are telling what they will do to the gas company, what they will do to the garbage and ash collection systems by putting them under private contract, and giving out other loud promises.

CONDEMNS CANDIDATES’ RASH PROMISES. “They are simply tring to fool the voters; trying to make them believe they are going to get something where nothing can be given. These speakers well know they cannot perform what they sa ythey can. The mayor nits no authority whatever over public utilities’ rates or service. Tliat is solely up to the public service commission of the State of Indiana, and that commission is operating under legislative enactment and the members are appointed by the Governor.” Speaking of the necessity of every good citizen voting in the primary, Mr. Howe said: "The quality of government you are going to have for the next four years depends on tho men you nominate for office. If elected I am going to devote all of tho experience, training and ability that I have to a businesslike administration of the people's affairs, and conduct these affairs even more carefully than I would my own personal business, for tha office of mayor is a position of trust and I shall keep the faith with the people as their agent and chief servant.” MANY irOIYE MEETINGS SCHEDULED. Meetings scheduled for today by the Howe organization include the following: Noon, National Malleable Castings Company; S p. m., 418 North West street; 8:30 p. m., Twenty-Second and Illinois streets. Mr. Ilowe will speak at these meetings. Monday night Mr. Ilowe will speak at Tomlinson hall at a competition drill of Indianapolis colored lodges. W. W. Tay-

lor, who is In charge of the arrangements, announced that members of all the lodges to be represented had especially requested that Mr. Howe be invited to speak on this occasion. Announcement was made today by Mrs. G. R. Hutto, committee woman of the Howe organization in the Eighth precinct of the Second ward, that a special women's meeting will be held Tuesday afternoon at 3 o’clock at the home of Dr. J. B. Kirkpatrick, 1929 North Alabama street, for the purpose of having the women of that community meet Mr. Howe and hear him discuss the issues of the primary. This precinct was formerly the Seventh precinct of the Second ward. All women are invited to the meeting, whether they reside in the precinct or not, Mrs. Hutto said. Mr. Howe will be Introduced at this meeting by Dr. Kirkpatrick, who Is a boyhood friend of the candidate. STEAL OF 10,000 VOTES HOWE’S ONLY CHANCE (Continued From Pre One.) how serious are the Howe losses. Shank continues to hold his strength and his supporters declare that be is steadily gaining. There have been, however, no evidences of great gains on his part. It was conceded two weeks ago that his strength was greater than either of bis opponents and the predicted “break'' from him so far failed to materialize. The usual “bunk" has obtained in the speaking for and by the candidates. The most notable speech of the week was that delivered by Arch M. Hall in which he punctured the pretty story of Howe as a "self-made" man and showed that as president of Butler College Howe had fallen back on the endowment funds until the college was almost ruined, financially. j The nowe press has never hal the 1 courage to do more than assert that Mr. j Hall "repeated his speech.” No denial | of the truth of it and no publication of It has been made by Mr. Howe's publicity organ, i EVERYTHIN'S FINE; PROSECUTOR, A HOWE MAN. | An attempt was made Thursday to rej assure those persons who are depended i upon to crook election returns for Mr. Howe, through the publication of an alleged interview designed to show that William P. Evans, prosecutor of Marion County, is a staunch Howe advocate. The obvious purpose of the publication was to make those inclined to election crookedness believe that because he supports i Howe, Mr. Evans will not prosecute elec- ! tion crooks who steal for Ilowe. No atj tempt has ns yet been made to show that i the Marion County grand jury also favors : Ilowe. In the meanwhile, the managers of the Robison campaign have called on Irving W. Lemaux, chairman, to appoint election hoards representative of ail the candidates in the Interests of fair play. Such action by Mr. Lemaux would not only stamp him as a man above political chicanery, but would also take I away about the only remaining hope of nominating Thomas C. Howe. RALSTON SURF, OF NOMINATION. In the Democratic camp, Boyd M. Rayston continues to be the only candidate with a look-in, regardless of the Howe supported effort to make a competitor out of Edgar A. Perkins. Democrats generally realize that there is no doubt of Ralston's nomination and the intention of entering the Republican primaries for the purpose of swatting the News-Jewett organization is still uppermost in the minds of a majority of the Democratic voters of the city. Thomas Meeker, Democratic chairman, is still planning the selection of election officials from lists to which Thomas Itlley, News-Jewett Democrat, will have access to before the appointments. In all probabilities the Howe crowd will have Its annual support from Democratic sources, but it is increasingly apparent that enough votes to win cannot be obtained through this method. PLOT TO ARREST SHANK WORKERS. At a meeting held recently with Ralph Lemcke, a number of workers wore advised of an organization plan to arrest all Shank workers at the polls and thus prevent them from guarding against a crooked count. The plan is doomed #to failure, owing to a counter-plan for tho release of the workers as soon as they are arrested. If the primaries were to be held today either Robison or Shank would be nominated by a margin great enough to overcome the combined results of all the stealing the organization could do. It is certain that while Robison might defeat Shank for the nomination, Ilowe cannot possibly win against the two ottier contenders. That is the explanation of the bitterness with which Robison and Charles A. Bookwalter are being assailed by the organ of Mr. Howe nnd Mr. Jewett.
