SHANK CLOSES CAMPAIGN WITH GREAT PARADE Huge Meeting Staged at Fountain Square After Downtown Demonstration. HITS NEWS’ MUCKRAKING Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican candidate for the mayoralty nomination, brought his campaign practically to a close Saturday night with a huge mass meeting at Fountain Square. Hundreds of marchers were led by a parade of over 300 automobiles and trucks throughout the downtown streets to the place of assembly. ' Traffic In the downtown streets was blocked for thirty minutes as the automobile parade looped about from the Shank storage house at 227 North New Jersey street through Massachusetts avenue and Pennsylvania street to Virginia avenue. At Virginia avenue and South street the marchers Joined at the rear. Long before all the marchers were In motion the parade was proceeding haltingly as the machines ahead pressed through the Jam at Fountain Square. For three blocks each way from the square streets were Jammed with parked cars. SPEAKER SKETCHES SHANK’S CHARACTER. Mr. Shank arrived with the first cars of the parade and the meeting was opened as soon as confusion on the outskirts of the crowd had quieted sufficiently for speakers to be heard. Speeches were made by Newton J. McGuire and Ed Mcßrldge before the appearance of Mr. Shank. Mr. McGuire confined his speech to a character description of Mr. Shank, whom he portrayed as an honest, sincere humanitarian, more interested in the happiness of the people than in any other issue. After delivering a vivid condemnation of the Jewett administration’s financial record and again pledging his efforts to a reduction of taxes, Mr. Shank touched upon the precautions that are being taken by anti-Jewett forces to cause a clean primary and to prevent irregularities in favor of Professor Howe. "NOW LET STEALERS START SOMETHING.” "Evidence enough has been gathered already of preparation for fraud to adorn the penitentiaries with many new faces," he said. "And we aTe going through with it. I would consider that successful prosecution of vote stealers here which would cure certain politicians of the habit would be of greater benefit to the city than anything else any man or group of men could do. This city and State are rapidly becoming a byword throughout the country as a result of the impression in some quarter sthat election corruption Is evidence of admirable cleverness. The Jewett gang has been boasting for four years of the things they did to me in 1917. Now let them start something Tuesday." Mr. Shank urged all his supporters to attend the Billy Sunday lecture tonight at the tabernacle. At the same time he inveighed against hypocrisy in politics. "EXCORIATES NEWS’ MICK RAKING." "The Indianapolis News, which conceals its thieving and lying practices behind a smoke screen of morality filched from the name of Christ, is striving with might and main to convince the gullible that Shank is the friend of gambling,’’

Illinois Central System Sounds a Warning Os Impending Coal Shortage It is earnestly to be hoped that coal dealers and consumers have not forgotten the lessons taught by coal shortages of recent years, particularly the one of 1920. These shortages were produced largely by dealers and consumers themselves in not beginning to buy and store coal in adequate volume until late in the year. It is clear that unless coal dealers and consumers profit by the lessons of the past and begin at ouce to lay in necessary fall and winter supplies another coal shortage will be brought about. Asa result of the shortage of coal in 1920, the Interstate Commerce Commission was forced to require the railways to furnish open top cars preferentially for the handling of coal from June 19 to November 29 in order to prevent suffering in various parts of the country. Open top cars are also used for carrying building and highway construction materials, and one of the effects of diverting open top cars to tin coal traffic last year was the postponement of construction work that was vitally needed. It would be most unfortunate if this action, which was highly necessary last year, should be made necessary again this year. The housing and other construction which depend largely upon the use of open top cars are too imperative to be delayed by a congestion of coal traffic that can be avoided by the immediate movement of coal on a large scale. t The coal-carrying equipment of the railways is sufficient to handle a large evenlybalanced coal tonnage, but it is inadequate to handle the coal movement when the bulk of it is thrown upon the railways in a comparatively short period after midsummer. For the last five years the total annual output of bituminous coal in the United States, in tons, was as follows: 1916 502,519.682 1917 551,790,563 1918... 579,385,820 1919 458,063.160 1920 556,563,000 The strike of the coal miners which lasted from November 1 to December 15, 1919, had a paralyzing effect on the coal output for that year, and the strike of railway switchmen, which was in effect from April 3 to August 1, 1920, likewise affected the coal output for 1920. During the first six months of 1920, the output of bituminous coal was 261,760,750 tons, or at the rate of 43,626,791 tons a month. During the first three months of 1921 the average monthly output was only about 32,750,000 tons, and it is estimated that the April output did not exceed 26,000,000 tons. If the April figures should not be exceeded in May and June, the coal movement for the first six months of 1921 would amount to approximately 176,000,000 tons, a decrease of more than 85,000,000 tons, as compared with the actual output for the first six months of 1920. This would mean that the mines would have to produce, and the railways would have to move, more than 380,000,000 tons during the latter half of the year to equal the record of coal production for the year 1920 when there was a shortage. To accomplish that would not only overtax the coal-rarrying capacity of the railways, but would overtax the mines, probably resulting in higher prices of coal. Coal can be purchased and moved more cheaply during spring and early summer than later. Delay in purchasing and storing coal at points of consumption makes for higher prices during the time of heavy movement. There is now practically no surplus of bituminous coal above ground anywhere in the United States. Coal mine operators are now in a position to produce, and the railways are in a position to move a large volume of coal. If dealers and consumers fail to take advantage of the present opportunity to lay in fall and winter supplies, and another coal shortage eventuates, the public in fairness certainly will not attach blame to the coal operators and the railways. More than 255,000 open top cars are now standing idle on the side-tracks of the railways. Nearly one-half of the open top equipment of the Illinois Central System is idle. The situation, as we visualize it, is that the country is headed for a serious coal shortage unless consumers immediately start moving coal in large volume. We are emerging from the business depression. Within a few months the railways may be taxed to their capacity in handling traffic o*her than coal. The Illinois Central .System, as one of the largest coal-carrying roads in the Middle West, considers it a duty to sound this warning. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System.

he said. “The evidence they offer are their words of honor as prophets and fortune tellers. They point to nothing in my record and they have no other support for the assertion. “This is the same Indianapolis News which applauded my act in resigning as mayor and which lauded my administration as a period of growth and transition for the city. Now they have discovered that every act of my administration was wrong, that every kind deed I ever did was dishonest and that my resignation was the act of a coward, not a sincere man. 'The Indianapolis News of 1913 calls the Indianapolis News of 1921 liar in every line. Tet it is the same old Dick who guides the News of today and the same old Mysterious Delavan who plays the role of absentee owner for the absentee owner, whoever he may be. I don’t believe the truth of the News ownership came to light with the Fairbanks litigation. There is something mysterious and sinister in that puzzle today. Who is It that essays to guide the citizens of Indianapolis in all their affairs today? And what is the deep reason for its strife for power? It Is something bigger than local issues.” Increased Demand for Window Glass Special to The Times. HARTFORD CITY. Ind., May 2.—Demand for window glass has increased materially in the last week.

FRANKLIN, Ind., May 2. —On Wednesday evening, November 17, 1920, the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Valley of Indianapolis, adopted a resolution appropriating $150,000 for the erection and equipment of a building at Franklin, as one of the units of the Indiana Masonic Home. Two-fold was the purpose of the resolution. Through it the Scottish Rite resolved to combine Masonic gratitude with Masonic charity—gratitude commemorating the service of its soldier and sailor members during the world war, and charity in meeting a pressing need for additional housing facilities at the Masonic home.
