SHANK HOLDS ' OUT IN WAR ON HIS ENEMIES (Continued From Pace One.) the name of the “Shank-for-Mayor” Club with the same officers which headed a club of this name before the primary. After discussion of the chairmanship situation had ended the candidates adopted a motion, made by Mr. Shank, that a committee of prominent citixens, not practical politicians for the most part, be chosen to meet at the Marion Club on the evening of June 8. to discuss the writing of a platform and the selection of a committee of three or five to draft it. Twenty-three men and six womeu were named for the general committed, with the understanding that more are to be added if any of the candidates so desire. The expression of loyalty to the entire ticket, which was nothing more or less than a move to ascertain whether the other candidates will stand behind Mr. Shank in his fight for a city chairman, was maneuvered by Mr. Shank. STO DISSENT TO MOTION. His motion, as put by Chairman Wise, was as follows: •‘All in favor of the ticket as nominated from the head down will signify by saying aye.” There was a chorus of “aves.” ‘‘Those who ate not in favor and depart from any one will vote ‘no,’ ” Chairman Wise said. There was silence and the chair announced that the motion had been unanimously carried. There was no dissent from the ruling. Sir. Shank stated that he had received word from Mr. Claycombe, who could not reach the meeting, that he voted ‘aye” on such a motion. Before the vote was taken Mr. Hartman suggested that it be by secret ballot. Sir. Shank Immediately objected and the Tote went through publicly. While Sir. Thompson did not reach the meeting, It was said by Shank leaders that they understood he would Join the other candidates in the loyalty pledge. SHANK TELLS OF NEWS-JEWETT PLANS. The charge that the News-Jewett outfit intend to play a bipartisan game to defeat Shank and Hartman was made by Mr. Shank In the following language: ‘‘X tell you, I've got it straight that they’ve got it all framed up to dump Tlartman and me and that this man Thomas D. Sleeker, the Democratic chairman, is to dump all the rest of his ticket for the Republican city clerk and counellmanlc candidates.” Throughout the meeting Sir. Shank kept reiterating this charge and elaborating upon it with assertions that Lemaux is known to have had conferences with Meeker at the Columbia Club and at the Republican chairman's place of business both before and after the primary and that Meeker had been over to the city ball to confer with Mayor Jewett. When Sfr. Harris, in response to n query from the chairman if he had anything to offer said: “I have no suggestions. I wish 1 had. It's too bad we haven't got a Thomas Taggart in the Republican party now.” Mr. Shank nnrst i out: “Well. I'll tell you this! there's no way of ever getting this man Charlie Jewett I and me together. Ton all know that ! he's my bitter personal enemy and that | I'm an enemy of his. Why 50.000 people voted to throw him out of power in this primary. Do yon think I could go back on my friends in the face of that? “I'm loyal to you fellows. I want you | to know that. Tou'll never find any one

more loyal to you than Lew Shank, but this fellow Jewett, this man Bob Bryson and Ralph Lemcke and this Charlie* Romeier, a man who will vote against me—why, I can’t and I won’t have them sitting at my council table.” Mr. Shank went on to say that the Democrats have no hope of defeating any of the Republican candidates because they never will be able to stir up en mgb interest in their own. “Why, Just today several of the big Democrats "have been to me telling me they are for me and offering to contribute to my campaign fund,” he said. “We're going to beat them bands down, but we want to get this thing straightened oot Just as soon as possible because 1 we all know what a handicap it would be | to our administration to go through the j four years with a scrap like this i still on.” It was at this point that Mr. Rhodehamel said: “I think it's a shame that we can’t have a chairman who is for the' ticket from 'top to bottom.” I “You took the words right out of my mouth,” said Br. Qernd. “No, sir,” repeated Mr. Rhodehamel. “1 don’t think we ought to have a chairman who is not for the whole ticket.” Mr. Shank had one of the reporters to read bis statement detailing Mr. Lemaux's unfairness to him. He asked if there were any objections from the candidates to the statement being given to the press. Mr. Wise put the question and the candidates gave their consent without a word of discussion. Despite the fact that the reporters were present the discussion was frank ana open. Mr. Wise took the ‘land throughout that the candidates should take no drastic action in the chairmanship squabble for a few weeks, stating that there woull be no harm clone the ticket .if Republican city headquarters were not opened until as late as J uly 1. Mr. Shank took issue with this Insisting that Lemaux should either be gotten rid of entirely or effectively shelved Just as ; quickly as possible in order that such I work as plans for the registration of ; voters and assignment of numerous workers, whom he said were eager to “get at it,” may be gotten under way. In reporting bis invitation to Air. Lemaux to attend the conference, Mr. Wise said that he had every assurance until Mr. Lemaux broke out in print Wednesday afternoon that the city chairman would attend the conference. “I felt at the last meeting when I was instructed to extend this invitation thut 1 was selected as a sort of peacemaker,” j said Mr. Wise. “And I want to say that I felt so good yesterday noon that ! I went down to see you. Mr. Shank, to ; Bee if you would withdraw your letter asking for Mr. Leinaux's resignation. You I were not there and 1 talked with your ; wife and I had every reason to believe. ' until I saw Mr. Lameux's letter ht the ■ paper, that I would get you to withdraw that letter tonight.” Mr. Wise said he thought Mr. Shank made a mistake by publicly demanding , Mr. Lemaux’s resignation and that he thought Mr. Lemaux- made a mistake in sending such a letter as he gave out. ! He urged that quiet be restored to the political battlefield for a few weeks by every one remaining quiet upon the subject. KEEPING qriET NOT SHANK’S FLAN. Keeping quiet on the subject was not I on Mr. Shank's program for this par- ; tlcular meeting. Every time it was sug AMUSEMENTS.

jested that action be delayed the mayoralty canlidate brought out some new action of the News-Jewett crowd that he did not like, with the result that in the end his motion expressing loyalty to the eDtire ticket went through. Early in the meeting Mr. King suggested that Mr. Shank appoint two men, Mr. Lemaux two, and four appoint a fifth, all to serve on a board to arbitrate the differences between the candidate and the chairman. The suggestion was emphatically turned down by Mr. Shank and that was the end of it. After the loyalty motion had passed Mr. King said : “I still think there’s a chance for harmony. I’m not in favor of widening the breach that already exists.” He assured the candidates that he held no brief for the people whom Mr. Shank so bitterly opposed, stating : “I wasn't backed by the organization in my race.” “I wasn't either,” said Mr. Bernd with a lnugh.y Mr Shank let it be known again that he had no idea that there would be harmony until Lemaux either (Jot out or was practically pushed out by the construction of anew organization. MEMBERSHIP OF PLATFORM COMMITTEE. Those who were named on the general platform committee were: Miss Eleanor Barker, who was women’s manager for Thomas C. Ilowe, Mr. Shank's principal opponent in the primary; Mrs. Wolf Sussman, another Howe leader; Mrs. M. B. Spellman, Shank women's manager; Mrs. R. E. Kennington, woman chairman for Edward J. Robison in the primary campaign; Miss Darueva Darnell, negro woman leader, and Dr. Amelia Keller, a Robison captain, and the following meu picked to represent all factions and all sections of the city; Archibald Hall, Judge Arthur R. Robinson, Merle N. A. Walker, Thomas Da*'-/, William II Jackson, Remster A. Bingham, Simon B. Fox, Alex Alexander, Fred C. Gardner. Charles H. Adam, James Ogden, Dr. W. H. Foreman, W. S. Henry, William A. Oren, Arthur R. Bradshaw, Henry Abrams, Martin M. Hugg, Harry B. Dynes, Clarence Martin, John Blumberg, Spurgeon Meadows, Newton Harding and Joseph A. Hogue. The statement Issued by Mr. Lemaux Thursday, taken by politicians as a bid for peace, was as follows: ”1 feel that it was a mistake to resort to the press. The matter should have been handled by personal conversation between Mr. Shank and myself from the beginning. It occurs to me that the Interests of the city of Indianapolis ami of the Republican party are of much greater Importance than those of a few AMUSEMENTS.

individuals. Mr. Shank, the other candidates nominated, along with myself sdbuld from now on eliminate longrange controversies and confine our discussions to personal conversations.” With Mr. Lemaux on record in favor cf a eessßtion of open hostilities and the Shank forces riding high on the crest of another strategic victory it was expected that there would be a temporary lull in | the fight to oust Lemaux. There was every indication, however, that the nominee for mayor and his managers will not stop until they have completely wiped the Jewett-Iloemler-Lemcke combine off the map. COUNT AGAINST IRVING LEMAUX READ BY SHANK (Continued From Page One.) mind when he made the foregoing statement is known as the case of Kelso vs. Cook, and Cassady vs Mote, reported in the 184 Indiana Supreme Court report, page 173. The decision was filed by the Supreme Court, Jan. 5, 1916, and this decision Is the law of the State of Indiana today on the subject of the right of a Democrat to vote for Republicans at a primary or a Republican to vote for Democrats. “I did not make this decision —it was made by the Supreme Court of our State —and so when I advised Democrats that they had a right'to affiliate with the Rft pubiican party and vote for me, I simply told them what the highest cdurt of our State said they had & legal right to do. HE SETS OCT ALLEGED CASES. “The city chairman in his letter to me said that he took no active part, whatsoever, In behalf of or against any candidate in the recent primary. Let me present a few cases and then let the voters of Indianapolis draw their own conclusion*. The city chairman chooses the election officers forithe primary. This choice is made by the city chairman calling on the precinct committeemen in their respective precincts. “Caee 1. Joseph A. Morgan Is the regular duly elected Republican precinct

committeeman of" the Third precinct of the Seventh ward. Mr. Morgan presented to Mr. Lemaux the names of Hurst Sargent as inspector and Edwin A. Pugh as clerk. Mr. Lemaux refused to appoint either of these gentlemen on the board, but Instead appointed an entire board which wu suggested by another person. Mr. Morgan was a Robison supporter. “Case 2. John Zazas Is the regular Republican committeeman of the Seventh precinct of the Seventh ward, .foila Zasus was superseded In the appointment of the board members by a Howe i>upporcer—Kinney Hiatt. Sir. Zazus was Shrink supporter. “Case 8. Thomas Bosson is a duly elected committeeman In the I‘ourlh ward. Mr. Bosson was a Robison supporter. A Howe supporter furnished the members of the board In Mr. Bson‘9 precir.ct. “This thing of permitting nobody but Howe supporters to name the boards also occurred in the precincts of the following regu arly elected committeemen : “Emanuel W etter, Ninth precinct of the Thirteenth wai-d; Anthony MeMonamon, Tenth prrcinct of the Thirteenth Ward; James Endicott. Fourth precinct of the Fifteenth ward; Mr. Fillmaa, Tenth Product of the Fifteenth ward, vnd a Mr, Moore of the Eighth ward. THEN HE ASKED PERTINENT QUESTION. "In each and every instance, the committeemen failed and refused to bow to the dictates of the machine. If Mr. Lemaux wanted to be absolutely fair, why did he refuse to appoint such excellent men as Mr. Hurst Sargent and Mr. Edwin B. Pugh, and why did he deny to the other named committeemen the right to appoint their boards? “Mr. Lemaux stated to a newspaper man that In the event of my nomination he would resign If I so desired. He met with Mr. Meeker, the Democratic chairman. at the Columbia Club prior to the primary and has met with him since. What their visits mean I don’t know and don't care, but I do know that Mr. Lemaux can’t deliver the Republican party to Mr. Ralston, nor can Mr. Meeker keep the thousands of my Democratic friends from voting for me this fall. I will make my appeal to the people—l will not let four or five Republican bosses control me for their own selfish ends —I will hold myself answerable to the people alone.”
MOVEMENT ON FOOT TO MAKE JITNEY EXTINCT From Page One.) present order was made, or grant the company an additional increase. It was made apparent at the hearing that it is very doubtful whether additional rates will benefit the company. Figures submitted showed an enormous reduction In business following the increase in rates and a consequent reduction of revenues, even beiow those collected under the old rates. This revenue is going directly to the jitney drivers. Many contend that higher rates will simply mean less revenue for the car company and more for the jitneys. 609 JITNEYS REAP $1,003 A DAY'. Those who favor the “regulation” of the jitney bus contend that it is only fare to the car company that this competition be removed. They point out that the car* company is paying nearly $500,000 a year taxes, that it is required to pave between its tracks and keep up this pavement at an enormous cost, that it is required to maintain schedules and to run cars under any circumstances. At the same time, it is pointed out. the jitneys are required only to pay a small

Mr. Tsdd admitted at the hearing, in answer to a direct question, that the increase in fare had been an incentive toward the Increase in Jitney bus business.

This movement, it is I understood by Russian diplomats here, was inspired by the soviet authorities Moscow so as to allow the Russian soviet government to give Vanderlip concessions for development of the vast Kamchatka region. ’ Kamchatka was originally Included in the territory of Chita when that republic was organized. The peasant members of the Chita congress, who are in the majority as the result of a recent election, opposed the separation of Kamchatka, but whether a vote was taken on the question was not reported. Officials and diplomats in Washington are following closely all developments in the course of the proposed Vanderlip concessions. The American Govei'nmmt has given no indication that they would be recognized. Vanderlip now is understood to be somewhere in the Baltic States, about to return to Moscow. An American mission of observers is now in the Chita republic making an investigation of conditions for the State Department. V
