RALSTON SEES NECESSITY FOR OUTDOOR LIFE Candidate Boosts Parks and Playgrounds Movement in Speech. An extension of the park and playground system and the Improvement of the city hospital were pledged last night by Boyd M. Ralston, candidate for the Democratic nomination for mayor, at a meeting at the Deniaon Hotel. Mr. Ralston’s speech was in the nature of an addition to his platform anonuneed earlier in the campaign. Among the other speakers who addressed the meeting were Charles M. Remster, Robert H. Adams, Mrs. Olive Beldon Lewis and Charles E. Cox. “It would be my anurition, if mayor, all the comforts and pleasures I posall the comforts an dpleasures I possibly could during my term of office,” Mr. Ralston said in speaking of his program for the extension of the park system. PARK SYSTEM SHOWS PUBLIC SPIRIT. ‘•Fresh air to breathe and an opportunity to roam over land set apart for outdoor exercise renews the vigor of the tired men and women and brings joy to the children. ‘•lndianapolis is to be commended for the humane and public spirit manifested by her citizens in any movement for public improvement, and this spirit is most creditably reflected by her park system. I would like to see our parks made more beautiful, increased in number and area just as rapidly as conditions will permit. I “These sacred spots, set apart for greater civic advantages, must be pro- | tected from the encroachments of undesirable enterprises and lawlessness. I “If Senator Taggart had nothing to his credit of a public character except his acquisition of Riverside Park for Indianapolis. whan he was mayor, he would ! deserve a monument." WOULD DIBFOSE OF GARBAGE PROBI EM. Tn speaking of the disposal of gar- : bage and ashes, Mr. Ralston said he ! would not hesitate to call in the city | council and ciTic associations and dispose ; of this problem permanently and not politically. In speaking of the city hospital, he said: “Our hospital long has been a constant subject of discussion and, at times, of severe criticism. I make no charge that It is mismanaged. I would not make a charge reflecting upon the wisdom or the motives of those whose duties it is to operate this important institution. ‘‘The unfortunates who cannot provide for themselves Institutional and medical care are the objects of our city’s love and mercy and must be tenderly cared for. “Had 1 the authority to act in the premises I would cause a searching investigation made of this institution by men and women equipped for the work, and I would never stop until 1 made it a fit place for the treatment and care of our unfortunate poor. Anything less ! than this Is uncreditable to a great peo- ; pie In public estimation.”

ADVOCATE OF PLAYGROUNDS. Mr. Ralston had the following to say concerning playgrounds: “I am an advocate of playgrounds Those established should he wisely reg ulated and practically maintained. New ones should be added as rapidly as our finances will permit. “Our swimming pools should be maintained and new ones provided, and in this connection a movement should he launched for public bathhouses Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and public health is dependent upon disease prevention. “Civic pride is growing in prominence in Indianapolis. Until recently such a proposition as a planning commission was unknown in municipal activities, but now commissions of this character are becoming a part of city government, and 1 would cheerfully cooperate with such an organization. It would help materially in making this a better and a more beautiful city, and a better and more beautiful Indl.inapolla tlgnifics a greater Indianapolis.” DEMOCRATIC RALLY PLANNED. A Democratic rally will be held at k o'clock tonight at lowa and South East street. B. M. Ralston will be one of the principal speakers. Patrick J. McCormick, candidate for the nomination for Judge of the city court, will also address the meeting. The candidacy of Edward J. Sexton for the Democratic nomination for councilman of the Sixth district will be espoused at a meeting of the Democratic women of the Second and Third wards at 2017 North Pennsylvania street, at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Mrs. George Killlnger, Mrs. John Trenck, Mrs Leo Baron, Mrs. C. Patton, Miss Columbia Romberg and Miss Margaret Mullaly form the committee In charge. John W. Losh, candidate for the Democratic nomination for mayor, spoke at 2 o’clock this afternoon at 230 Eari Ohio street on “The Negro and Hia Place in City Affairs.” Mr. Losh will speak at a K. of P. lodge banquet In Irvington tonight, at the Optimists Club meeting at the Claypool hotel Friday noon, at a Fourteenth ward meeting, Morris and Davidson streets and at Hamilton avenue and Washington streets Friday evening.

H's 75 and Quits 54-Year Job; Says Work Is Too Easy SAN FRANCISCO. April 28.—Qnlttlng a Job at the age of 75, after flft.vfour year* of service, because tile bos* can’t furnish him ennngh hard work—that's the story of the resignation of William Hood, dean of American engineers, as engineer of the Southern Pacific Railroad.

Blame Him for It When the weather forecast predicts a clear, sunny day, but it turns out to be a chilly, rainy day, here is the gentleman to blame. Charles F. Marvin, for many years director of the weather bureau, was recently reappointed to the post by President HardingGERMANS MADE SCHWAB OFFER OF $100,000,000 Effort to Bribe Steel Magnate Told About at ‘ lntegrity / Reception. NEW YORK. April 28.—Germany offered Charles M Schwab. Rteel magnate, a $100,000,000 bribe, if he would break , his war contracts with Lord Kitchener. ! England learned of this and countered with an offer of $150,000,000. ; Mr. Schwab laughed and said Germany and England together hadn't enough to make him break with Kitchener. This startling and heretofore nptoM 'episode of the World War was related today by Darwin P. Kingsley, president of the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, as a testimonial at an “integrity" reception tendered Schwab. The rpeeption. the fourth given by the organization in lfiS years, was the outgrowth of allegations, later officially discredited, made before the shipping board congressional investigating committee that Schwab, when an officer of the shipping board, profited by a SIOO,OOO expense voucher. Detailing how Schwab, n "great executive, n man who could do things," was sought by England to “do the Impossible In construction of submarines,” Kingsley said that after Schwab had demonstrated he could build submarines in five months, when it previously had required seven teen months. Germany sought to “buy” him “Then Germany’s chief spy In the United States —called in those days an ambassador—tried to block Schwab nnd succeeded in embarrassing him." Kings ley stated. "Realizing what he was doing and could do was likely to tie s large factor in the war. Germany sought to buy him In order to stop him." Kingsley, on behalf of the assemblage, j presented Schwab with a bronze tablet ' commemorating Schwab's war service in behalf of the Nation. He said the tablet was to tie a perpetual “voucher" to attest that the “American heart still drives 1 through American life blood that Is red j and not yellow." In accepting the testimony Schwab belittled his own efforts in the war. giving | credit to the men who assisted him foi I whatever unusual accomplishment had ! been recorded and said his greatest atm now was to help win the peace, for which Gormany today was making the greatest bid.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 28, 1921.

LINTON ‘OASIS’ LEADERS GIVEN YEAR AND DAY Chief of Police and Alleged Co-Conspirator in ‘Wet Regime’ Sentenced. Thomas Shouse. chief of police of Linton, and Henry Gilbreath, retail and wholesale cigar dealer, were sentenced to serve one year and one day in Federal Prison at Atlanta. Ga., by Judge Geiger in Federal Court today, after the Jury which had tried the cases returned a verdict finding the defendants guilty of conspiring to violate the Federal prohibition laws. A third defendant, Howard Walton, was found not guilty. Four defendants, Osa Woodward, Rabl Callahan, John Fromme and James O. Walton, all blind tiger operators at Linton, who entered pleas of guilty, will be called before Judge Geiger for sentence May 7. Federal officials feel that with the conviciton of Shouse and Gilbreath that violations of the liquor laws which have been rampant in Linton have been broken up. A TRIUMPH FOR U. S. DISTRICT ATTORNEY. The outcome of the case is regarded as a triumph for Frederick Van Nuys, United States district attorney, for when the indictments were returned in February it was predicted freely at Linton that the defendants never would be convicted In preparing the cases Van Nuys had the assistance of Will It. Vosloh, prosecuting attorney of Greene County, and Federal prohibition agents under the direction of R. 11. Abel, group chief in this territory.

I Following the verdict, James W. Noel, i attorney for Gilbreath and Shouse, made a motion in arrest of Judgment, but it was overruled by Judge Geiger. When the sentences were pronounced Judge Geiger added a flue of SSOO to each sentence but later remitted the fines. Nine defendants were named in the ini dictments returned by the grand jury in ; February, charged with conspiracy lo violate the Volstead act. Shouse. John Bennie and Gilbreath were charged with haring levied tribute on blind tiger and gambling room operators for protection given them. Os the defendants Shouse, Gilbreath, Howard Walton and Kenneth Hudson entered plena of not guilty and were on trial yesterday. James O. Walton. John Fromme. Rahl Callahan and : Osa Woodward, all proprietors of blind tigers, entered please of guilty aud took the stand for the Government. BENNIE AND HUDSON CASES DISMISSED. At the conclusion of the evidence yes terday Judge Geiger sustained motions to dismiss tile cases against Bennie nnd Hudson on the grounds that there was not sufficient evidence against them to Justify sending tHe cases to the Jury. This left only the cases against Shouse, Gilbreath and Howard Walton for the Jury to consider. All defendants who entered pleas of guilty took the stand and testified tlint 1 they hail paid either Shouse or Gilbreath sums ranging from $lO to s2<> n week for protection. Will H. Vosloh of Kloomfield, prosecuting attorney of Greene County, testified to unsuccessful eflorts be had made to obtain the assistance of Shouse nnd Bennie to denn up , Linton. Finally, with the aid of Federal I prohibition agents, beaded by It. H. Abel, group chief in this territory, he made a number of raids June 23, 1920, but the Linton police "force,' consisting of Shouse aud Bennie, gave him no assistance. Gilbreath nnd Shouse took the stand In their iwn defense and made a daI nln! of all stntem'entu made by lh Government witnesses However, they were given some uncomfortable moments by Frederick Van Nuys, United States district attorney, on cross examination. Mr. Van Nuys drew from Gilbreath the ad mission that he was a dealer in punch , boards which hove been declared illegal by the Indiana Supreme Court, anil 1 Shouse was unable to recall any arrests he had made in an effort to cooperate with Vosloh. The defense probably caused more harm than good from character witnesses it put on the stand. Aided by suggestions from Mr. Vosloh, , the district attorney wrung from sev- | oral of them admissions that lh a trial I in the Grpene County Circuit Court they | had testified to the good character of ! n house at Linton and that the Jury had proceeded to declare lx. n house of ill | fame. Howard Walton did not take the stand in bis own behalf, and In his instructions to the Jury Judge Geiger pointed out that if the Jury decided he had knowledge of the fact that his brother was paying for protection, but did not take any active steps in the matter himself, that the Jury would be Justified In returning a verdict of not guilty in his case. . Before the case went to the Jury the ! first argument was made by Floyd J. i Mattiee, assistant attorney general, who ; devoted himself to a careful resume of ! the evidence and the law. He was folI lowed by James W. Noel, attorney for Shouse and Gilbreath, and Charles E. | Cox, attorney for Howard Walton. | Frederick Van Nuys, district attorney 1 then closed with a strong plea for conviction in the cases against Shouse and i Gilbreath. He made no mention of Walton. .
