2 Youths Will Serve 2 to 14 for Burglary After pleading guilty to a charge of pecond degree burglary, Eugene Hnghett, 23, and Gerald Iseral, 20, today were waiting to be taken to the Indiana State Reformatory to serve from two to fourteen years. It is alleged In the indictment that the two men, with two others, broke into the store of Charles Denker, 1112 Prospect street, on last New Year's eve and stole clothing valued at more than *3,000. Authorities report that most of the clothing has been recovered. Judge James A. Collins pronounced sentence late yesterday. HOWE EXPENSE IS TWICE THAT OF LEW SHANK (Continued From Page One.) H. Bryson, the leaders in the group, each gave *SOO. Other city hall contributors are as follows: Lucius B. Swift, board of sanitary commissioners, *2O: Fred C. Gardner, board of park commissioners, *200; Thomas D. Stevenson, eity attorney, *6O: Samnel Ashby, corporation counsel, *SO: Mark H, MiUer, president of the board of pubito works, *SO: Frank C. Lingenfelter, eity engineer, *SO, and Dwight S. Ritter, city purchasing agent, *23. That Republican campaigning in Indianapolis has hit a high mark is evident from a comparison of the Howe expenditures with those made by Mr. Jewett and Mr, Shank in the primary race of four years ago. At that time tha Jewett-for Mayor Club reported an outlay of *lO,477.87 with unpaid liabilities of $3,075.18. Mr. Shank's contributions in that campaign amounted to *6.978.40. The names of professional bondsmen, former bartenders, dry beer saloon keepers and men known as professional gamblers appear frequently In the list of those to whom tha Howe organization paid substantial sums. For Instance, there is Louis Brown, professional bondsman, who, the report shows, was paid a total of *lls in five payments for “organization work," and *100.78 for what is listed In the report as “meeting.” The name of Panl Hennessy, a bondsman who frequently is seen working with Louis Brown around police headquartera, appears four times with the notation, "organization work • • • *25," after it each time. Paul Hennessey, alias “Three Star" Hennessey, is the same man who delayed the counting of the ballots In the voting place on Ohio street, near Illinois street, the night of the primary election. When the election commissioners arrived at that rlaee they were surprised to discover that, although It was after 9 p. m. the board had not started to count the votes. They were told that '"Three Star” Hennessey had ordered them not to start counting the rotes until he gave further orders. The election commissioners, however, ordered the count to begin st once and they began without even consulting Hennessey.

Hennessey bears the reputation among person* who often appear in city court as a ‘•fixer.’’ What be can fix or does fix would be hard to say, but he is fre- | quently seen, with “Louie” Brown, the ; “boss of the Fifth ward," a professional bondsman who was famous as a Howe worker in the west end. Brown has been shown numerous favors by the News Jewett “good government machine" at police headquarters and in city court and Brown and Hennessey have head- | quarters in the eity clerk's office adjoin-, ing the city courtroom. They have both been seen many times in the turnkey"* office where they arrange to have Brown or some of Brown's relatives sign bonds Rand Butler, negro, proprietor of a , dry beer saloon at Fifteenth street and the canal, also was one of the hardwork- j ing “organizers,” ,he report Indicates in that he got six payments of *25 each Butler is said to be the father-in-law of John Pash, who is reputed to be the present operator of the notorious roadhouse. “The Bungalow," on Brighton boulevard. Since a short time before , the primary election, it is said “The j Bungalow" has been going at full blast with all night parties and such. Several times the police ha'-e Investigated the place, but almost invariably the report made by the lieutenant or sergeant In charge of the raiding squad noted In his report “everything was quiet at The Bungalow.” Three *25 payments are listed as having been made to William Lancaster, negro, known on Indiana avenue as a professional gambler. A payment of *132.82 to Robert Page, who is none other than “Itufe" Page, Jewett administration pet, famed for his operation of craps games, is listed. The payment was on account of “meeting." Frank Firecoats, said to be the man of that name who formerly was a bartender in a North Illinois street saloon, 1 was paid *IOO at one time and *25 at another for “organization work." A name which appears most frequently in the'list of those to whom money was paid is that of .Tames Mann, chief inspector in tho city civil engineering department and Republican chairman of ; the Fifth ward. Mann, the report shows, got a total of *210.15. On account of “organization work." he received paymenta of *3O and *ls; for “meetings” he got *46.50, *lO, *l7, *23 15 and *64, and for “hauling and bill passing" he got *2.30. Among those who received *5 for acting as “messengers," according to the report was Mahlon E. Bash. The only person of this name listed in the city directory is Judge Mahlon E. Bash of Probate Conrt. The Rev. R. P. Christian, colored elevator man at the city hall, was well taken care of In the matter of expenses, the report idicates. Payments of *5 and *25 to him on account of “organization work" and *lO and *l2 on account of “meetings" are listed. In the list of “liabilities,” which the club has been unable to pay, is one item of *450, liated as being owed to Eleanor Barker. Miss Eleanor Barker was the women’s chairman of the Howe organization. The club also owes *165 to Seth Ward, who was president of the Howe First Voters’ Club. Both f these expenses were Incurred on account of “of- ! flee work.” | Noah Fritz, proprietor of a Ft. Wayne I avenue dry beer parlor and poolroom, was among those paid *5 for being messengers. HOOCH EPISODE. Amos Skaggs. 43, 906 Harlan avenue, arrested yesterday by Capt. Claude Johnson near East and Washington streets when Doc Hardin, 29. negro, went after him with a razor, today was fined on two separate charges, *5 and costs for drunkenness and *lO and costs and ten days for trespassing, by Thomas C. ; Whalon, Judge pro tern.

CITY DADS ARE NOT COURTING FOR CRITICISM Prefer to Leave Traffic Tangle to Their Successors. Moved, apparently, by the ’nought that there is no use going to a lot of trouble to make changes which may be overturned by another administration and by the natural desire that if any one Is to get the public criticism which always follows a radical departure those persons might as well be other than they, a majority of the members of the city council today were in favor of killing the new traffic code ordinance. The meatiure included such sweeping changes as the establishment of flat-to-the-curb parking throughout the downtown district. It was introduced some time ago. The present council has but seven months left to serve' before tbe new council, to be elected in November, takes office. At a conference of six members of the council last night, including reppresentatives of both the anti-adminis-tration and the administration factions, it was the consensus of opinion that general revision of the traffic code should be left for the new council. It was decided, however, that some of the provisions considered immediately necessary, should be taken out of the ordinance and re-written Into anew measure. Only those provisions on which a majority of the council will be able to agree will be put into the new bill, it was stated. Among such sections will be those calling for extension of the south boundary of the congested district to South street, granting the board of public safety power to establish safety zones outside the congested district tn addition to the pTesent power to fir them inside and fiat-to-tbe curb parsing In certain places in the downtowp district. The counctlmen also discussed the ordinance for the establishment of safety gates at street crossings over the Big Four Railroad in Brightwood The ordinance calls for crossings at Olncy street, Avondale Place and Sherman drive. It was understood the majority of the councilmen favor ordering either gates or watchmen at Avondale Place and possibly at Olney street, but not at Sher man drive. The ordinance, introduced several weeks ago, by which taxicabs would have been given parking space on the east tide of Illinois street, from Jackson Place to the south end of the space underneath the Union Station elevated tracks, was slated for death at the conference. Most of the eouncUmen favor letting the taxicabs remain in Jackson Place, It was stated. Q. M. CORPS IN WORLD EVENT

A record breaking long distance dinner will be given on June 16, when captains of Industry and business men who supplied the Army during the war, will sit down with quartermasters of all ranks and kinds, reserve*, guardsmen and regulars, in commemoration of the 146th anniversary of the. establishment of the Quartermaster Corps’, June 16, 1775. In Carpenter’s Ilall, Philadelphia. Tables will be set from Coblenz to China, and from Panama almost to the Pole, on three continents, and In all the insular : possessions of the United States for this wide-reaching celebration, the first of Its kind ever held !u the Army. The dinner in Indianapolis will be held in the Riley room of the Claypool Hotel, acordlng to MnJ, Charles C. Drake of Ft. Benjamin Harrison, who is in charge of the arrangements. Col. S. S Bottoms, chief quarteinaster of the Fifth Army Corps, is making plans to invite prominent business men of the city to the event. In hi* foreword to the diners MaJ. Gen. H. L. Rogers, Quartermaster General of th* Army, said: “During the 146 years of its existence the quartermaster corps has expended the stupendous sum of approximately *14.000,000,000, and never has the corps been involved in a tcnndal of any kind. The magnitude of the work being done today by the Quartermaster Corps can best be realized by the fact that approximately S5 per cent of the annual appropriations made by Congress for the maintenance of the Army Is expended by the corps. During tbe fiscal year 1920, for example, our outlay was $476,000,000.” Nine Taxi Drivers in Court Surprise Party Thomss C. Whalon, Judge pro tem., surprised several taxi drivers today when they appeared In city court to answer to traffic violation charges. Nine men were fined *1 and costs each, five for falling to display taxi rate cards and four for having no chauffeur’s license. The men fined gave their names and addresses to Mounted Officers Shine, Kurrasch and Sweeney, who made the arrests, as: Charles McCracken, 514 North Noble street; Manuel WlckhUl, 1040 North Sheffield avenue: Robert Bland, “city;" 11. Miller, 1112 Lexington avenue, and W. R. McCormick, 1117 South Meridian street, for having no rate cards; Knofe Lockhart, 248 Nbrth Tremont avenue; Emmett Kauffman, 027 East New York street; L. C. Stalnaker, 1048 West Twen-ty-Eighth street, and John Mane, 262 Richland avenue, for having no chauffeur's license. John Pipkin, negro, 26 Maple Court, was fined *lO and costs on a charge of speeding.

Merry Children Happy Home TO maintain a happy home the house wife must keep in good health. Her duties are many and various, and it seems as if every other member of the family depended very much on her. “ Where is my hat ? ” cries the boy. “ What did you do with my coat?” asks the daughter. “ I can’t find any handkerchiefs,” yells the husband. The housewife is usually the advisor and general manager of the family. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound helps women to maintain a happy home by Keeping them in good health.

Bloomington, 111. —“I have taken six bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it has done me a wonderful sight of good. I was never very strong and female trouble kept me weak so that I had no interest for my housework. I had such a backache I could not cook a meal or clean up a room without raging with pain. I would rub my back with alcohol and it would ease for a few hours, but after I had taken three bottles of Vegetable Compound my aches began to gradually leave me. Now I am as strong and healthy as any woman and I give my thanks to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for my health.’’— Mrs. J. A. McQuitty, 610 W. Walnut St., Bloomington, 111.
