CHEST TOTAL NOT AVAILABLE FOR A FEW DAYS Clerical Work and Subscriptions by Mail Hold Back Report.

The Soul of City Despite the fact that the Community Chest campaign did not reach its financial goal, I believe that we did accomplish a tremendously vital achievement in quickening the soul of ur city. Through three weeks of united effort hundreds of the commercial, financial, professional and industrial leaders of Indianapolis have put into solicitation for the Community Chest all they had of perseverance, energy and argument. In the face of small totals at daily lunch eons they went back into the battle with fresh spirit, not always hoping for attainment of 100 per cent success, but determined to leave undone no action that could bring pledges. For unity of' ideals; for shoulder to shoulder purpose to carry on against discouragements: for loyalty to Indianapolis and its civic responsibilities these splendid men and women deserve the thanks of our community. L. C. HUESMANN, Chairman Board of Directors. Community Chest ot Indianapolis.

Subscribers to the Indianapolis Community Chest are urged to send the May 15 payment to Frederick M. Ayres, treasurer, 207 Chamber of Commerce building, without waiting for formal stnioments to be mailed. The member institutions of the Community Chest are in need of fnnds immediately, and because of the large number of pledges received in the dosing days of the campaign it is not possible to accomplish the clerical work of making out the usual statements. "The total received in the campaign for funds just closed cannot be determined for several days." was the statement this morning of F. E. Angerer, secretary of the board of directors. "Solicitation is still being made in a number of the industrial plants, and each mall brings remittances and pledges from coupons published in the newspapers of the city. Although the campaign is formally closed, subscriptions will be received at any time." Officials of the Polar Ice and Fuel Company were surprised after pledges had been made to have several men a?k that the amounts subscribed be increased. Inquiry by B. F. Schmidt, an officer of the company, developed the fact that one of the employes who asked that his pledge of $1 a month be changed to $1 a week was responsible for the increases. "This man. who is employed as a driver,” Mr. Schmidt wrote in a letter to A. G. Ruddell. team captain, "was out of work last winter: was behind in his rent, and his entire family down sick. “He applied for assistance to the Community Chest, and out of gratitude for the timely relief then given, is now an enthusiastic worker for the cause. It seems to me this working man sets a ahining example for other citizens of Indianapolis to follow." Subscriptions received in the mail this morning Included the following: Juliette Bryan. fis3 East Twenty-Fourth street; Flore Lyons. 9 San Marco apartments: Joseph F. Karnes, 4561 Winthrop avenue; Charles Grosskopf. 222 Richland Street; Anna Koehring, Columbia Conserve Cos.; James Sertell. 3534 Winthrop avenue; • Mrs. D. P. Howns, the Blacherne; Mrs. Lois G. Huffbrd. 1217 Park avenue; N. D. Doane, 2343 Ashland avenue. TRANSFER MAN UP ON 18 COUNTS W. S. Frye' Accused of Violating State Motor Vehicle Laws.

Prosecutor IV. P. Evans today filed eighteen affidavits in Criminal Court charging William S. Frye, a transfer man of this city, with violating the State motor vehicle laws. , Nine of the affidavits charge that Mr. Frye failed to display number plates on his motor cars, and the other nine charge that he failed to pay a registration fee for the machines with the Secretary of State. The prosecuter is determined to test the validity of the laws, which are covered by 1913 and 1919 acts of the Legislature. Much litigation already has developed over the statutes. Some time ago. Judge James A. Collins sustained a motion to quash In a case agaList Frye, charging him with failure to* display number plates on his trucks. The court held at that time that the amendment of 1919 to the 1913 law was unconstitutional in that it provided for an increase In the registration fee. According to Judge Collins, Frye was not to be permitted to operate his trucks without a license, but was to tender a fee as provided in the 1913 statutes to the secretary of State. This fee would have been refused and then the attorney general was expected to bring mandamus proceedings In the Circuit Court to test out the question. According to the court, the fee was never tendered and no mandamus proceedings were instituted. WILL CONTINUE WORK AT PLANT Stutz Factory Suffers Damages From Fire. Production will continue and the plant will again be in full operation within a week or ten days, despite the fire at the plant of the Stutz Motor Car Company, Inc., Tenth street and Capitol avenue. yesterday, which caused damage estimated at more than $100,900, according :o W. N. Thompson, president and general manager. The fire is thought to have started from spontaneous combustion in a pile of cotton trimmings on he third floor of the plant. Much damage was done by water and moke, in addition to that caused by lameS. The blaze was confined to the ompany’B warehouse, which Is separated rom the otl-.gr part of the plant, and where a large stock of unassembled material is stored. Damage to the other ■•arts of the plant was confined to fire ind water damage. The burning cotton made a stubborn blaze, and it was with difficulty uiat the firemen were able, after an hour's work, to throw the cotton to the street, where the blaze was extinguished. The value of the cotton was estimated at $7,000. A new stock of tires, bought less than a week ago. was partiaUy destroyed, at an estimated loss of $28,000. Operations at the plant will be continued in other departments, according to Mr. Thompson, and the factory will be ready at all times to greet visitors to the city. CEOBGE GAUL TO ENTERTAIN. George Gaul, of the Stuart Walker Company, will be the guest of Nelson Trowbridge at the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club next Tuesday at the Clsypool Hotel, and will be the headof the program.

Cops Locate ‘Mule’ Instead of ‘Fight’ Harry Cramer, 40. and William Harris, 34, both of 3445 West Washington street, were arrested last night by Sergeant Tooley and a squad on the charge of operating a blind tigeF. The police were sent to the West Washington street address on a report that there was a fight in progress. They failed to find the fight, but found five gallons of “white mule” whisky and four barrels oof corn mash. The liquor is said to have been burled In the back yard. BOY SCOUTS IN HEALTH MOVE Patrol Streets and Remind Crowds of Anti-Spitting Ordinance. Boy Scouts, bearing health slogans of various types, all emphasizing the antispit campaign of the Marion County Tuberculosis Association, patrolled the downtown streets today and reminded Saturday crowds that antl-spittlng ordinances and health rules should be observed. F. O. Belzer, Scout Master, volunteered the services of the Scouts to the local antl-tuberculoiis association. Dozens of organizations of citizens have indorsed the health campaign and have adopted resolutions urging the enforcement of anti-splttlng ordinances and regulations. A peculiar development pf the anti-splttlng campaign appeared at the headquarters of the tuberculosis association today when a man, living on a rural route In the county, wrote the following to the association: “Your anti-spitting campaign Is a step in the right direction. And now if you can get druggists and other employes in drug prescription departments interested in an anti-spitting movement in the line of not sealing the flaps of envelopes Into which they put pills, capsules, tablets, etc., with their tongues, this will be another move in the right direction. If you will send volunteer observers Into different drug stores (■especially the smaller ones) and make observations of the many times these envelopes flaps are licked generously with saliva. It might help make us see the necessity for a definite move to stop this practice.” DELEGATES ASK FOR DRY REGIME IN PHILIPPINES (Continued From Page One.)

REPUTED YEGG IS RETAKEN BY ILLINOIS POLICE Stevens, Bond Jumper, May Be Returned Here for Trial. Edward Stevens, alleged yeggman, and a bond Jumper, is under arrest at the Macoupin County Jail in Seottsvllle, 111., according to Information received by the Indianapolis detective department last night. \ “It Is really Stevens tilts time,” declared Lieut. Henry Askins of the detective department today, recalling the numerous reports that the department had received of Stevens’ arrest, which always ended proving to be some other person. Stevens’ arrest recalls one of the most sensational police cases in. the history of Indiana. Indianapolis detectives a year ago Investigated a series of safe blowing jobs, but were unable to capture the burglars. However, two detectives learned that a guest at the Hotel Severin had received from the checkroom the wrong traveling bag and had returned it. The guest had pried open the bag In such a way as to discover some burglar tools. The detectives examined the bag, removed some nitroglycerin from it and placed it back on the shelf In the checkroom. Then they waited and watched for the owner to call. When a neatly dressed man oglled for the traveling bag they followed him to a room where they arrested him. He gave his name as Arthur Welling. Then they heard some man slip quietly along the hallway, tap on the door of the room and the detectives opened the door and met a veritable giant. They covered him with revolvers and he proved to be Edward Stevens. STEVENS ESCAPES BY BOND ROUTE. The detectives obtained Information that resulted in the men being charged with burglary as wall ns having burglar tools In their possession, ana it was alleged they were the men who blew a safe In an oil filling station at Meridian and Fall Creek boulevard. They were also Indicted at Shelbyville. Then came the sensational Jail delivery, in which twenty-four prisonera escaped last July, after sawing the bar from a cellroora in Federal row. Welling was one of these and was met in the alley by men who waited for him in an automobile near the jail. Stevens was said to bo too large to get through the hole. However, he was “sprung” in the way that many a criminal has escaped, by the bond route. James Collins, Judge of the Criminal. Court, reduced his bond from SIO,OOO to $5,000. This was pnt up in cash and a SI,OOO £ond was put up at Shelbyville. After' the bail was reduced. Judge Collins left the bench for several days on vacation. The sheriff refused to admit Stevens to ball because the reeords sflowed that a bond of SIO,OOO was rerequlred. ADAMS All<B IN BOND REDUCTION. The benevolent Claris Adams, former proßecutcr. assured the Judge pro tern that he • knew” It was the Intention of Judge Collins to reduce ail the bonds to $5,000. In this way, Mr. Stevens was accomodated aid Jail doors opened for him on the stnngtb of $5,000 as a cash bond. When Stevaos failed to appear, Judge Collins ordered s he cash bond forfeited. Prosecutor William I*. F.vans has filed suit in the Circuit Court to recover on the bond and, the ea'e Is pending now. According to the information received, Stevens 1s held under the name of “Henry Russell” at Seottsvllle. He wag Identified, howaver. by Detective John M. Shea, of the St. Louis (Mo.) police de partment. Sheriff Morris of Seottsvllle, wrote that Russell, alias Stevens, was captured with two other men about forty miles from that city after a safo had been blown there and a quantity of gold coin stolen. The sheriff stated that some of the gold was found oi the men. The police have had frequent reports of Stevens activity in Illinois since he left here. MANY AGAINST PROPOSAL FOR TIME CHANGE

(Continued From Page One.) rotes taken in most of the places which responded gave a total of 16.09 C employed for and 8,130 against daylight saving, the employers' figures showed. OTHERSSPSAK FOR OK DIN A N't E. Bert A. Boyd, representing the hay and grain trade of the Indianapolis Board of Trade; Charlotte Catheart. speaking for the Fletcher American Company and C. O. I’eake of the Nordyke & Marmon Company talked In favor of the ordinance. When Mr. Peake declared that a poll of the 2.800 employes of Nord.vke & Marmon showed approximately 95 per cenl in favor of daylight saving Councilman G. G. Schmidt asked him If he remembered what happened when the same question was up last year. Mr Peake said he did not, and Mr. Schmidt asked- " Don't you know that when your firm represented to us last year that the employes were 90 per cent In favor of daylight saving and that when we made a check we found there were actually not fifteen for It?” Mr. Peake did not know of this. TIME CHANGE HEED HEALTH DETRIMENT. Clock retarding was opposed from a health standpoint by Dr. W. 11. Foreman. "I do not speak from a business standpoint,” said Dr. Foreman. ”1 speak from the standpoint of the health of the community. Those who favor this ordinance talk about getting more daylight. •Why don't you know that on these hot 'summer nights you can't gat to sleep before midnight and that to arise an hour earlier in the morning would Just deprive you of that much sleep.” He declared that to make the hour of rising one hour earlier In the hot summer months would be Injurious to the children of the community, particularly those who would have to get up an hour earlier in order to get to school on time. “During the war when we had daylight saving I heard repeated complaint on this very score,” he said. "From a health standpoint, I would rather have one hour of sleep In the cool of the morning for the children than three hours of play In the park In the hot, dusty afternoon. It Is absolutely wrong to cut off sleep In order to add an hou. of playtime In the afternoon.” Dr. Foreman remarked that he aid not nee very many laboriug people at and Councilman Louis W. Carneflx Interposed: LABORING PEOPLE NOT AT MEETING. “You understand, don't you, doctor, that the reason you don’t see the laboring people here is that they are at work and can not get here In the afternoon?” “Let the autoista ride and the golfers golf, but let us poor people have a little rest In the morning,” shouted C. F. Emerson, West Indianapolis negro, In an attack upon the ordinance. Such a ndlsy~demoi)stration of approval resulted that Dr. Furnlss rapped for order and threatened to stop the hearing If the citlxeng did not refrain from applause. Dr. Furntss had requested that there be no handclapplng at the start of the hearing. A plea for. the death of the ordinance

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 14,1921.

was made on behalf of the farmers and the working people by Hanry A. Harmon, who said that the farmers would have to carry two clocks and that the first thing the Republican Congress did when it got into power was to repeal the national daylight saving law. He .raid the manufacturers were “up here” trying to get their automobillng and their golf time and to force an imposition upon thousands of people in the city and hundreds of thousands outside the city who have dealings with those within. C. B. Schafer of the Paper Package Company took issue with statements which had been n)ade touching upon the authenticity of the polls which had been taken among factory employes. He said that he would personally vouch that the vote of 85 for and 8 agtlnst the ordinance, rendered by the people In his plant, was correct. The shop girls of Indianapolis want daylight saving, declared Mrs. John Judah. She decried the statements of some of the opponents to the effect that the extra hour of sleep In the morning was valuable asking: “Haven't ,we heard from the time we were born, •‘Early to bed and early to rise?’” “Babies are the patent early risers of the whole wide world,” she said. Mrs. Judah said that It would be a good thing if parents would get to bed earlier in the night, having always believed that the sleep obtained before midnight was the best of the whole night. “There are babies in this city who wake up an hour before thejr parents want to and they get spanked because their fathers and mothers go to bed an hour too late.” She cautioned the coundlmen to re- j member that all of the young women, whom she said were for the ordinance, now are voters. COMMISSION MAN OPPOSES. Stating that although he is a ber of most of the business men’s organizations which had made expressions favoring the ordinance, he had come as an individual citizen to protest against it, A. M. Glossbrenner, prominent commission merchant, spoke. He said that the argument of men whose business interests are affected by the fact that markets are closed earlier in big cities which have daylight saving in favor of the passage of thq ordinance here was not sound, for the reason that all of the big eastern markets always have closed an hour earlier than those of Indianapolis, dne to the normal difference in time. Mr. Glossbrenner Intimated that some prominent men favor the ordinance because it will give them more time to play golf and said: “I play golf. If you please, but I play It on my own time and 1 do not think anybody ought to play golf who can not play on their own time. “I don’t want the present hourly schedule in my business disturbed.” We’ve had enough disturbance. If we’re ever going to get hack to normalcy we'd better leave things like this alone.”

WOODBIDE LEAGUE AGAINST MEASURE C. A. Gndbury. representing the Woodside Loyal Civic League, and Mr*. Mary Moore of Woodslde argued against the measure. The ordinance wa upheld by Margaret Shipp on behalf of the Women’s Rotary Club. Farmers of Marlon County are opposed to Uaylight saving. Royal McClain. Marlon county agricultural agent said. "Some of these younger people had better be thinking more about agriculture than of golf and baseball,” be declared. Emerson Chaille. real estate dealer, was in favor of the ordinance and reported that the Indianapolis Real Estate Board I stood likewise. | The Irvington K. of P lodge voted 28 | against and 2 for the ordinance, Stephen B. Allen reported Because he would have more time to spend in his garden and around hts home, George Newton favored the^chßnge. Councilman Jesse E. Miller, himself a business man. entered the discussion. “i don’t see why these factories in favor of daylight saving don’t start their men working an hour earlier under the present tlmp systemV he said. “I think that would be a good thing because It would distribute the morning rush on the street car lines over more time and relieve congestion.” SAYS 75 PER ( END ARE OPPOSED. “if ail the people who desired to attend the hearing could have gotten away from their work it would bavs taken a hall as large as Tomlinson Hall to hold them,” said Ho.vdon Buchanan, president of the Enterprise Civic league In reporting his body against the ordinance. “At least 75 per cent ,of the residents of West Indianapolis are opposed to it.” J. R. Lynn said he was for it because other largo cities have daylight saving. ‘‘Apropos of that remark and others of the same kind which have been made," said President Russell Wlilson of the council, “I’d like lo ask If Indianapolis depends more upon Louisville ami Chicago for its livelihood than it does on the ninety-two counties of Indiana, which do not have daylight saving. Aren’t we dependent almost entirely upon the small communities of Indiana?” Councilman Miller said that he believed President Willaon wus right and that Indianapolis would be put in a bad light with all of the smaller cities of the State by passage of the ordinance. “It seems to me that that would be a good thing to think of," replied Mr. Willson. He pointed out that the Chamber of Commerce spends thousands of dollars in creating good will for Indianapolis business among the smaller cities ai-.d that It would be folly to damage It. Albert Neuerburg, real estate man, wound up the hearing with a protest against the ordinance. Four Children Sue for Father’s Death Judgment of $25,000 Is asked In a suit brought by the State of Indiana on relation of Edna Hicks, L!m Illcks, Frank Hicks and Jerry Hicks, minor children of the late Frank Hicks, a molder, against the Indiana Foundry Company, the Chicago Bonding Insurance Company and Charles Solomon, a former saloon keeper. The suit was filed in Superior Court, room 1. The complaint charges Frank Hicks became 'ntoxicated in Solomon's former saloon at 762 Indiana nyenue, and when allowed to go to work at the foundry on July 9. 1917, he fell against an alleged unguarded electric feeder, receiving injuries which resulted in his death at the city hospital. The bonding company was on the bond of the former saloon keeper an surety for damages growing out of the manner In which Solomon conducted his former saloon.

DEMOCRATS PUT IN DEMAND FOR MEEKER’S SCALP From Page One.) Shank In the primary and never appear to be told twice the same way. INSIDE DOPE ON COCKY SHEA. Cocky Shea, who is now leading an effort among Democrats to keep Meeker In the chairmanship, la the same man who was snob a prolific source of Information concerning Democratic affairs to the Indianapolis News when he was custodian of the Ptatehouso and the News wag waging its relentless warfare on Mayor Joseph E. Bell. Ho Is known among Democrats as an active and ardent supporter of the News in all political intrigues, and it is generally believed that the numerous conferences between Meeker and the News during the primary campaign were arranged through She*. The attitude of B. M. Ralston, the Democratic nominee, toward a reorganization of the Democratic committee has not yet been publicly expressed, but his friends declare that he realizes that Meeker cannot conduct a successful campaign for him, owing to the lack of confidence li Meeker, which Is so prevalent among Democrats. URGE RALSTON TO DEMAND RESIGNATION. It is known that Mr. Ralston has been urged to take the same steps that were taken by Mr. Phsnk In regard to the chairmanship of the Republican organization. Shank publoly demanded the resist nation of Irving Lemaux in the Interests of party harmony. Mr. Ralston is confronted by the tame situation that confronted Shank. He can not expect harmony In the coming campaign if Meeker is to be allowed to manage the campaign with Cocky Shea ! nt his elbow and Thoinns Riley, of , Mayor Jewett’s board" of works, meeting him In conferences over the party organization. Just when steps will be taken by the Democrats to straighten out the organization tangle Is not definitely known. Whenever the leaders of the party desire it, Information as to Meeker's unfitness j to conduct the Democratic campaign will j be laid before them. In the meanwhile,! the Democrats of Indianapolis are almost J as badly disrupted ns are the Repub- j licsns. The only difference seems to be ! that the Republicans have taken steps j to bring about a reorganization of a committee that Interfered with the sue- j cessful candidate while the Democrats ■ have delayed any attempts to formulate | an organization that might conduct a j winning campaign.

On the ability' of thoso Democrats who really j desire to gee him elected to bring about an organization capable of lining up the whole Democratic party in the city depends his chances of election. There 1s a general feeling among Democrats that unless the Meekers, Sheas, Rileys and others of bi-partisan leanings can be ousted from prominent places around the Democratic council I tables, there will be no campaign worth mentioning this fall, even though there Is a large clement of the Republican party dlssat'sfled with its nominee.

It was bitterly / cold —-so cold that a fur edat was quite comfortable. A group of women gathered at the door of a hovel In Central Europe scattered as the nurse approached. “Anew baby there," was volunteered. The nurse went In and found the mother lying In a few handfuls of straw, while a weak wail coming from a newspaper bundle nearby told of the presence of the new arrival. 1 Taking off her flannel waist, the nurse wrapped it round the mite so recently “from the blue sky.” And that is not an isolated case, but one of thousands where not a single article of clothing Is to be had for anew Infant. Over In central Europe—in Poland, Jugo Slavia, Hungary and the Baltic states —there ate millions of children whose clothing consists of only .’ags, which may not he- taken off to be disinfected because it would fall to pieces and there would be nothing left to put back on. Thousands upon thousands of children must remain indoors —otten in bed—for lack of clothes. And layettes in those countries mean any old ra.fr or newspaper that can be picked up in the streets. Sick and well, old and young, are huddled together In moldy cellars or subcellars without windows. The only fuel supply is that which may be picked up in the streets.
