FLOOD RUINS 50 BRITAIN MINES Strike Threatens Greater Paralysis. LONDON, April 30.—Fifty coal mines already have been destroyed by flooding, It was officially announced here today. This indicates the extent to which the entire structure of British Industry is collapsing under pressure of the miners’ strike. Further evidence of the growing industrial paralysis was shown in these conditions : Only thirteen eteel furnaces are operating of a total of 500. Train schedules have been reduced 50 per cent. All express trains have been discontinued. A curfew law Is being planned for all lighting. Daylight saving Is to be extended another hour. The country is expected soon to be dependent uron foreign coal. After the miners' Anal rejection of the government's offer of a $50,d00.000 subsidy, officialdom became extremely pes, simlstic of the possibility of an early settlement. The only ray of hope was in the belief that a majority of the miners’ executives secretly favor acceptance of the subsidy despite the district delegates’ rejection. • Representatives of both the owners and miners have left for the coal districts over the week-end and It was believed the union officials would seek first-hand sentiment regarding the subsidy.

Dr. Beshgetoor told them of the helpless Armenia* babies whose parents have been murdered and of the little girls of their own age dragged off to Turkish harems. “I never have had a more sympathetic audience,” Dr. Beshgetoor said, "and when I had finished, to my amazement, these youngsters Insisted on being permitted to help. They exacted a promise to let them raise S2O among themselves. I told them this would support an Armenian child for four months. The superintendent of the school will make it possible for these orphans to raise the money.” Mrs. J. I.

SHANK DENIES MAKING LIGHT' OF EVANGELIST Claims Jewett Regime Used Revivalist to Further Mr. Howe. DENOUNCES HYPOCRITES Samuel Lewis Shank rose to indignant oratorical heights in a meeting at East Washington and Rural streets last night as he denounced the statement made by the Indiapaoplis News and speakers for Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College and Nevrs-Jewett candidate for mayor, that he had ridiculed Gipsy Smith, the evaugelist, in speeches. The candidate’s big face glowed as he delivered himself of a ringing rebuke to “hypocrites in politics.” Once he quoted from the gospel of St. Matthew to show that Jesus Christ held hypocrites to be the most • iniquitous among sinners. “I am no scoffer,” he cried. “I am a Christian, living in a Christian country and seeking guidance by the golden rule. I have tried never to be guilty of meanness or falsehood. I believe in practical Christianity, charity and human helpfulness—not intolerance and snobbishness. "Perhaps I make less show of my religion than some. For that I may be blameworthy. I am ready to assume ihut blame, but I don't believe that I deserve false classification as a scoffer at men of God. 1 have no words of censure for any man whose life is filled by religion. I honor and revere him. “Gipsy Smith is a gifted man and he is using his great gifts in toil to carry the light of Christianity into the dark corners of the world. I have only love and admiration for such a man. When his meetings were on here I urged all . my hearers to visit the tabernacle and ! hear him. “One night Gipsy Smith urged his hearers to uphold the hands of our mayor j because, he said, he thought the mayor I was trying to run a good clean city. Is It any wonder that he thought that? Mayor Jewett and his snobbish associates had taken good care thr.t Gipsy Smith was always surrounded with ersons who would impose upon him with that kind of propaganda. Good man that he was Gipsy Smith believed Ms fair-spoken admirers. GAVE EVIDENCE TO EVANGELIST. “And I sent to Gipsy Smith evidence that this good, clean mayor was permitting open gambling in tbo negro district. He never again touched upon local political matters. He was too honest and sincere to use his great power to advance the political interests of a hypocrite. “That must have been a keen disappointment to thn Howe propagandists. They were still determined to profit from the labors of this great man. So they hit upon the scheme of lying—outright lying—about Lew Shank ridiculing Gipsy Smith. Thousands upon thousands have heard my speeches in this campaign and any of them will tell you that they never teard Lew Shank ridicule Gipsy Smith. I always spoke of him in the highest terms because that was the way I felt. I did say that someone had lied to him. That was not ridicule. “Os all the sinners and weaklings I have eTer met there is only one varle.ty which I cannot find It in my heart to forgive—the hypocrites. The Indianapolis News lg operated on a purely hypocritical basis. Nothing sincere appears In its columns except by error. It is guilty of the most damnable practice I can conceive; cloaking Its sinister aims and purposes in Christianity, using the hope that Christ gave the world to impose its dishonest purposes upon a people. “Recall the words Christ used to rebuke the Pharisees: ‘Woe unto ye, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, beautiful indeed to behold outward, but Inside filled with the bones of dead men I and uneleauness. Yours be the greater damnation.’ ” DENOUNCES NEWS [ “BETTER CLASS.” [ “This newspaper and its puppets and I its beneficiaries love to appeal to the ’better element.’ What do they mean by better element? Are we to believe that this city is broadly divided into two kinds of people—one upright, Godfearing and perfect, and the other horrible, croaking sinners whose souls contain no good ? Shame upou such a thought. I have always found some good and some bad in all folks—more good than bad. I make no appeal to the ‘better element.’ Men and women who are assinlae enough to believe they are better than their fellows may go hang, for all of me. “‘Better element!' This country contains many kinds of people. It is the rankest kind of treason to try to set one kind upon another. Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Quakers and a thousand other sects dwell here in harmony, practicing the golden rule. “Does the Indianapolis News mean persons who possess social advantages when it speaks of the ‘better element?’ That must be the case for certainly good Christians cannot follow such assinine advice, such palpable falsity. “Men came to me early in this campaign and said, ‘Lew, this man Gipsy Smith is being brought here as part of a scheme to uphold the Indianapolis News and the Jewett machine in their fight on you. You know that Dick Smith and Charlie Jewett are pretty close to some officers of the church federation. I laughed at the thought. I knew that hypocrites sometimes scheme their way into the counsels of good men. but I believed than and still believe that that happens very seldom. Who was I to j question the motives of churches? I Joined the boosters for a religious awakening. I believe the awakening occurred and I am devoutly thankful therefor. The mayoralty of Indianapolis is a small matter compared with the saving of souls. SAYS NEWS HAD ULTERIOR MOTIVES. ‘‘There is no doubt in my mind now, though, that the Indianapolis News, always boasting virtues it does not possess, has tried to use the religious fervor aroused by Gipsy Smith to advance the political interests of Professor Howe. “Having failed in an effort to paint Lew Shank as the friend of open gambling and to excite church members against him, they resorted to a plain, unqualified falsehood, and said that 1 had ridiculed Gipsy Smith. Could a sin be blacker than this cowardly attack on a man's character, on the very foundation ; of a man’s character, his reverence for religion? I should like for some learned theologian to answer that question. "The Indianapolis News has used reverence for the name of Christ as a cloak for its underhand character assassination for many years. How can any oue believe a newspaper, whose managers took a false oath before God to conceal its ownership? “Now, let us see who Is a hypocrite.

Need we go further than an editor who assumes piety to undermine the Christian character of an enemy? Would you not call a mayor hypocrite who stands for piety and sobriety at home and engages in drunken brawls abroad? Would you not call a man a hypocrite who poses as a religious leader in Irvington and a hot sport on Indiana avenue —a man who promises law enforcement in one part of the city and connivance at law violation in another district? CLAIMS JEWETT HIGHLY INCONSISTENT. “The News charges that Lew Shank is sponsored by gamblers, when it well knows that the one unusual feature of his candidacy is that he is not sponsored by any selfish interest. Charlie Jewett boasts that the gamblers have been run out of Indianapolis and now he brings in the charge that the king of these gamblers, who were not roally out of town—he was Just Joking when he said that—is supporting Lew Shank for n.ayor. Affidavits have been printed In an Indianapolis newspaper to prove that Rufe Page, a negro, is running a wlds open gambling house In the avenue. Charlie Jewett took no notice of this proof. It makes a great difference who the gambler la, it seems. “I have always opposed gambling and law violation and there Is not the slightest reason for the charge that I will open up tho city in that way. It is simply an Infamous attempt to injure my candidacy.” Mr. Shank closed with a discussion of the tax problem. Other speakers read polls to show that Shank Is far in the lead In the mayoralty race and stressed the precautionary measures that are being taken to prevent vote stealing next Tuesday. More than 2.000 marchers and a large fleet of automobiles are expected to participate in the Shank demonstration on Virginia avenue tonight according to estimates furnished by John Walker, parade marshal. The big rally will overshadow other Shank meetings at the close of the city campaign ns the Shank forces are concentrating their attention on It exclusively. Mr. Shank will attend a few minor meetings after tonight but most of the speaking dates scheduled for next Monday have been cancelled in deference to the Billy Sunday mooting at the tabernacle. Marchers for Shank will assemble at Virginia avenue and South street promptly at 7:30 o'clock tonight. Women workers will meet at the Shank storage house. 227 North New Jersey, where automobiles will be furnished to carry them In the parade.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, APRIL 30,1921.
SAYS HE OWES NO APOLOGY IN CONTROVERSY C. S. Denny, in Letter to Mr. Thos. C. Howe, Puts Blame on Professor. PARTY FEALTY IS ISSUE Denying that ha owes Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College and News-Jewett candidate for mayor, an apology for questioning his Republicanism, Caleb S. Denny, former mayor of Indianapolis, yesterday sent a letter to Mr. Howe, in which he repeated his doubts as to the orthodoxy of the candidate's party fealty. Mr. Denny calls upon Mr. Howe to explain whom ha supported for Governor in 1908, for Senator in 1918, and for mayor during the campaigns in which Charles A. Bookwalter was a candidate. He declares that Mr. Howe alone Is to blame, if a mistaken impression of party affiliations has gotten abroad. The letter Is as follows: “April 20. 1921. “Professor Thomas C. Howe, “30 Audubon Place, “City. “My dear Sir: "I have noted your public statement of yesterday, to the effect that you think I owe you an apology for questioning your Republicanism. I do not remember to have ever done any one a wrong for which I was not perfectly willing to apologize. And If I could bring myself to feel that I have, in any word I have apoken concerning your candidacy ou the Republican ticket before the approaching primary, gone beyond the bounds of propriety or truth, I would gladly make a public correction of my statement and an apology to you personally. "I have always said that I esteemed you highly a* a citizen. But when I am asked to admit that I have goue beyond the strict bounds of propriety In anything 1 have said concerning your candidacy In this primary, I must decline to admit It. Yon must know that people all over the city commenced to question the regularity of your Republicanism almost as soon as you were Drought into the race and that it has not yet ceased. Hundred* of people believe yon have been very irregular In your voting for years past. Knowing that the primary Is strictly a party affair, made so by the law, many Republican* felt that the persistent questioning of your party loyalty should be Inquired Into. They understood thut you had rarely ever voted the straight Republican ticket in recent years. But as the principal objections were directed to your lack of loyalty to James E. Watson when he ran for Governor and United States Benutor, ami to your votes , against Mr. Bookwalter three times jvlien he waa running for tho office to which you now aspire, I confined my questions principally to those elections. "The form in which you (list pretended to answer these rumors, made it appear that you wanted to end the con troversy by saying tuat you bad voted for all the Republican candidates for President in recent years. But as yob said nothing about Mr. Watson’s or Mr. Dookwalter’s cases; and as your answer did not cover the question as to how you voted tn' 1912, I felt that you had not been fradk In your public statement. So I restated my questions. You now ssy you voted for Roosevelt In 1912 and for Watson In 1920. But why should It have taken nearly a week to no this? If you voted for Roosevelt, Instead of Taft. In 1912 and for Watson in 1920 hut against Watson In 1008 and 1910. and also against Mr Bookwalter for mayor In all his races, why could you not have said o at once? And why do you not now say that you voted against Mr. \\ ataon twice For Roof Paint and Roof Material* phone Jordan D. Williams Cos. Drexel 99.

and against Mr. Bookwalter every time he ran for mayor, if that is true? Do you think you were under greater obligations to answer my questions as to the elections in 1912 and 1920, than you are to answer those applying to 1908, 1910 and the three other elections, when Mr. Bookwalter was a candidate? Do you not admit that I have as much right to believe, from your continued refusal to answer my questions as to these five elections, that you voted the Democratic ticket those years, as I did to believe that you voted for Wilson in 1912 and Taggart in 1920? “I submit, in all fairness, that yon alone are to blame, if any mistake has been made by the public, speaking through me, as to any charge that has been made against your Republicanism. Will you not now tell the voters for whom you voted for Governor in 1008, for Senator in 3916 and for mayor in the several years when Charles A. Bookwalter ran for that office? And will you explain why you did not make answer to these divisions of my original question, when, after waiting nearly a week, you now make only a partial one? Why did you ask others to speak for you as to certain phases of my inquiries, when you alone knew the facts? “Let me again assure you of my personal esteem. But permit me to remind you of the fact that the approaching primary Is purely a partisan contest; that while the law makes provision f< r Independent candidates, it does not recognize the right of Independent voters to announce themselves as party candidates, and that yon now owe It to the voters of Indianapolis to tell them how you voted at the five elections covered by my questions which have not yet been answered. “No one has ever questioned the regularity of Edward J. Robison's Republicanism. He was In the race before you came Into It. Every consideration of safety end good politics argued against making a three-cornered fight, at the time you announced your candidacy. . So, Mr. Robl3on and his supporters cannot be held responsible, if results' should prove unfortunate, on account of your candidacy. “Yours very truly, “CALEB S. DENNY. “I shall feel free to offer copies of this letter to the press in order that tho public may know my side. O. 8. D.”
