Patrolman Charles M. Carter. 38, negro. 607 Dorman street, was shot In the left knee by Mrs. Josephine Tanner, 23, negress, 617 North Senate avenue, during what is said to have been a lovers' quarrel which started at the Bungalow roadhouse and ended when the shooting occurred at Tenth and West streets at 4:13 o’clock this morning. Chief of Police Jerry Kinney today suspended Carter. The shooting brought to public view one of the nastiest scandals that has occurred during the Jewett "good government” political control. Mrs. Tanner, who was arrested following the shooting made a statement to C'apt. O. D. Thomas, in which she said Carter had caused her to become separated from her husband, and r.lso that she had been keeping company with Carter for some time, and declared during the night when Carter was patrolling his district he telephoned her to meet him at the Bungalow roadhouse on Brighton boulevard. She said that lu company with Patrolman John Buchanan, negro, and another man whom she did Hot know, she went to the Bungalow in an automobile. She met Carter, who was there, at 3:30 o'clock this morning. Carter and the woman got into an automobile driven by a negro named Caldwell and drove to Tenth street and Indiana avenue, where the patrolman called police headquarters through the patrol box. Mrs. Tanner stated they had sat at a table at the Bungalow and were served with drinks of "white mule” whisky, tut this was denied by Carter. The woman and the policeman wulked from Tenth street and Indiana avenue to West and Tenth streets. There a quarrel occurred that resulted In the shooting. At this point the two tell different stories of what oceured. Mrs. Tanner says she told Carter she was going home and h< said. "No. you won't." and then tore her clothes She said she drew a revolver and fired one shot. Carter said when Mrs. Tanner arrived at the Bungalow he was talking to Mrs. Ed. Duncan, a colored woman, that Mrs. Tanner was jealous of him and n quarrel followed. He admitted he had been keeping company with Mrs. Tanner f>r some time. He said he was late for his 4 o’clock call and that he got Caldwell to take him to Tenth and Indiana avenue. He said Mrs. Tanner got in the automebilo and they walked to Tenth and West streets, after he bad called headquarters. Carter said during the quarrel the woman said, "You ain't going to do me that way any more,” and, drawing a revolver, jumped behind a telephone pole and fired or.e shot. The hnllet hit Carter in the right knee, shattering the knee cap. Sergeant Sheehan took the wounded patrolman to the city hospital la the emergency automobile. Patrolman Carter was appointed a member of the police department Aug. 3, 1910. On July 26, 191 t, be was charged with assault’and ojutery on Lizzie Rounds, but was later exonerated by the board of safety. On Sept. 17, 1919, he was charged with neglect of duty and suspended forty-three days without pay. The Bungalow is a notorious roadhouse, built and operated in the bottoms between Fall Creek and the canal by Fred Day, former proprietor of the notorious Brighton Beach roadhouse near that place. After Day's death the place was for some time. Later it opened at intervals. Last year a man operating the place was convicted of operating a blind tiger and the place was closed ur>. Before the city primaries a negro named Pash opened the resort as a case, but was refused a dance license. Pash is a relative of Ran Butler, negro saloon keeper, who was one of the main cogs in the Jewett "good government'’ political machine. Police officers who have ns their duty to visit the Bungalow always make a report similar to this: "All was quiet at the Bungalow; saw no law violations, end only a few people were there.”

BAR MEMBERS NOT SURPRISED Report Judge Anderson Will Be Elevated to Court of Appeals Discussed. News that Judge A B. Anderson probably will be elevated to the Circuit Court of Appeals by President Harding In tho event Judge Francis E. Baker of Chicago is appointed to the Supreme Court, occasioned no surprise among members of the Indianapolis bar. In fact, there has been considerable gossip to this effect ever since President Harding's Cabinet was named. It is a well-known fact that coal operators under indictment in Judge Anderson's court for alleged violation of the Sherman anti trust laws would do almost anything in their power to avoid having their oases tried before the present Jurist. In practically every jurisdiction outside of Indiana defendants in these cases have filed injunction suits asking that Federal officials be enjoined from removing them to Indianapolis for trial. A number of these defendants took an active part In the Harding campaign last year, and two members of tho Harding Cabinet have hoon interested actively at one time or another in the coal cases now pending before Judge Anderson. Charles E. Hughes, Secretary of State, formerly was counsel for the coal miners under indictment and last year made the

chief argument for the defendants against the sufficiency of the Indictments and the validity of the Lever act under which the original indetments were returned. Secretary of Treasury Mellon Is a director of the Pittsburgh Coal Company and the president and other officials of that company are now under indictment. Harry M. Daugherty, Attorney General of the United States and generally regarded ns the man closest to President Harding of all his advisers and friends, has many personal and politcal friends among the defendants. As soon as the makeup of the Cabinet was announced there began to be gossip to the effect that something would be done to get rid of these coal eases. Judge Anderson's courage, his immunity from influence of any and all kinds was so well known as to preclude and possibility that the cases bejore him could bo quietly dropped. Therefore, it has been suggested from the very first that before the coal cases could be bought to trial that Judge Anderson mig.it be promoted to the Circuit Court of Appeals. PLANNING CHAUTAUQUA.
