SENTIMENT TO OUST LEMAUX IS APPARENT Shank Managers Have Difficulty in Suppressing Some Committeemen. Leaders in the camp of Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican candidate for mayor, are having difficulty in keeping some Republican precinct committeemen from starting a movement among the others to call a meeting of the committee and take steps to oust Irving W. Lemaux from the city chairmanship, to which they unanimously elected him last January, it was learned today. The Shank managers, it is understood, are holding back the impetuous ones because it is desired to settle the controversy which arose over Mr. Shank's demand for Mr. Lemnux’s resignation on the ground that the chairman was not friendly to the chief nominee, in a quiet, well maneuvered manner, if possible. It is thought there is some chance of finally bringing about Lemaux's departure from the chair and the election of Dr. E. E. Hodgin, Shank’s choice for the place, without unnecessary fuss when the chairman returns from his vacation in Michigan. * DR. HODGIN IS FAVORED. Many committeemen are more than anxious that the chairmanship muddle te definitely settled and settled so that Dr. Hodgin will he in command for the reason that the,, .ire net enjoying some of the advantages which go with being a precinct committeeman. The majority of the jobs at the Statehouse and the Federal building are goti g to It. liana Republicans from outside Indianapolis because Governor Warren T. McCray and the two United States Senators apparently are tr leg to keep their hands out of the Marion County situation, they say. This works great hardship on the committeemen because they are not landing positions they wact themselves or for their friends. With Mr. Lemaux a chairman in name only there is no one to plead the cause of the committeemen with the State leaders, so the precinct wo.'kers are coming to feel that the sooner Dr. Hodgin gets In the better off they will be. Shank leaders claim that a majority of the precinct leaders nave expressed tu-tr confidence in both Dr. Hodgin and Mr. Shank since they have met the candidate for city chairman. Included in this number are several whom the News-Jewett leaders, who wish to see Mr. Shank defeated, have considered as among those who insist upon Lemaux remaining at the head of the organization. CITY ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS SHANK BANNER. With the committeemen growing more solid for Dr. Hodgin every day the talk of selecting a co upromise chairman has died out, the backbone of the regular city organixatlon apparently having swung into line behind the Shank banner. Attorneys identified with the News.Tewett crowd contend that the committee cannot oust the chairman, since the Indiana law does not provide for the recall of any elective official. They say that the city chairman is just as much a public official as is the county superintendent of schools, who is elected by the township trustees. On the other hand the committeemen who wish to get rid of Lemaux say that they can replace the city chairman practically if not technically by simply refusing to recognize him and taking or ders from a man whom they choose, if it is not possible to legally recall him.

BATHING SUITS TAKE PLACE OF SHORT SKIRTS Chicago Women Seen on Cars and at Hotels in Kellerman Attire. CHICAGO, June 28.—Chicago has gone back to Eden. The style today in women's dress is—no dress at all. Bathing suits have taken the place of swishing and diaphanous skirts. Many women, in the Wilson avenue, Hyde Park and Jackson Park districts, within a radius of three miles of bathing beaches do their errands and visiting in one piece splashing costumes during these sweltering days. It’s nothing at all to see the Mack Sennet girls of every day life looping Chicago's loop in elevated trains and surface cars. Some wear bath robes. Some don't. The wild waves didn't put the idea in the minds of the girls, say the plain blunt men who have mid-summer zip added to their dull lives. Most of the suits have never been immersed, they say. 'Tm going to undress for dinner,” s quite a usual expression around th; household these days. Eating in restaurants, and good ones, too, is being done In seaside attire. To make It more clubby, many husbands twist themselves into bathing suits to have dinner with their wives. The former first-nighter at the burlesque show, who sits In the bald-headed row on the curb, has to give the designers of the land-going bathing suits credit. Some HUits have new little fig leaves interwoven; others dashing exclamation points and some cute little question liarks. The significance of the fig leaves and exclamation points can easily be divined, but they wonder If the question mark means “what’s next?”

PINCH PATRONS OF‘BUNGALOW’ Three Negresses Arrested Following Robbery Whites Mix With Blacks. John Pash's notorious Bungalow roadhouse Is again In the spotlight of police activity. The Bungalow was built some years ago by Charley Day, who Is dead. Pash aas run the place for three months. The Bungalow Is located on Brighton boulevard between Fall Creek and the Canal, ind Is frequented by both negroes and whites, but most of the customers of the dry drink place and case are colored. Norman Washington, negro, 1544 Garfield place, appeared at police headquarters early today and reported that he visited the Bungalow In company with three negro women In a taxicab during the night and was robbed of 8140. Washington is a member of a baseball team and had been paid yesterday, he told the police. Lieut. William Cox later In the night arrested Bell Finley, Lillian Wilson, Mary Williams, all of 428 West Vermont street, who Washington said were the women who were with him at the Bungalow. They are held on vagrancy charges pending investigation by detectives today. The police have been keeping a watchful eye on the Bungalow since the shooting of Police Officer Charles Carter, negro, by a woman after they had visited the roadhouse. Carter is still in the city hospital suffering from a bullet wound in his knee. Pash is said to be a relative of Ran Butler, political king among the negroes of the northwest part of the city, who supported the Jewett "good government" candidate for nomination as mayor at the primary election last month. Pash who was arrested twice recently, has two cases pending in city court. Blind tiger charges against him were continued yesterday until July 7. The proprietor after his first arrest told the police he was going to the city hall to see "somebody” who would stop the police from making frequent visits to the Bungalow. The "someone” seems to have lacked power or possibly feared to Interfere with the police at this time. Each night the patrolmen visit the Bungalow. At 12:10 a. m., when Patrolman Heller visited the Bungalow, there were twentyfive men there. All doors of the place were locked except one, he reported to the captain. An hour and a half later Lieutenant Cox called at the Bungalow and Pash had gone to bed and all the customers had disappeared.
