FRAUD CHARGE CAUSES LAUGH IN PLAZA FIGHT Memorial Opponent Welcomes Court Fight on Petition Demanding Referendum. Both sides to the war memorial plaza controversy were squaring away for a fight today. The proponents of the plan lead by the Marion County Council of the American Legion were making arrangements to map out a plan of campaign at a dinner to be held tonight in the Chamber of Commerce. Opponents of the project, who were Instrumental in having a petition filed calling on the city council to order a referendum on whether bonds shall be Issued for the acquisition of the memorial tract, outlined partially their campaign objectives in statements. They art* proceeding on the assumption that the election will b h*l.T. firm in the belief that the petition*- will withstand all possible legal att'cks and will be recognized by the city council with a mandate for a special referendum. Attorneys interested in the movement said that activity of the remonstrators probably would be confined to dissemination of Informative matter, In which especial stress would be laid upon the need for rigid economy In all governmental undertakings. Joseph Collier, a plaza opponent, said that the remonstrators would not follow the lead of the pro-plaza forces in organizing workers by preclifcti. “Such a course would reduce this controversy to the level of the usual political struggle In which the merits of a case play leas part than prejudice in the settlement," he said, “e intend to make it possible for every voter in the dlty to learn Just what a vote for such an expenditure will mean. That will be the extent of our campaign.” LAIGHES AT FRAUD CHARGES. Mr. Collier laughingly waved aside questions concerning charges of fraud in the anti-plaza petition. “I can’t see what those fellows are driving at." he said. “This petition would never have been filed if it was not all right. It Is certain to stand any •ort of scrutiny either by the city council or by a court. Advaoates of the plaza will only create the Impression that the yare playing the ‘baby act’ if they continue to rant about alleged irregularities In the petition. In gathering a petition of that size it was inevitable that some earnest but poorly informed persons would sign with a lead pencil or do something else that might afford technical ground for opposition. “The advocates of the plaza knew that when they slipped a Joker into the legislative act providing that the referendum they were promising, could only be obtained by remonstrance. It Is perfectly clear that they have been bent on spending the people's money without giving the people a chance to approve or disapprove since this movement was begun. An election is going to be held. If they think they could gain anything by court action they may as well try. In the meantime their charges of fraud are unwarranted Insults against the publicspirited men who are seeking to give the people a right to be heard.” CITY ATTORNEY TOO OFFICIOUS. Not more than three houndred names appear on sheets of the petition not directly headed by the remonstrance, according to C. W. Miler. a director of the petition movement. Mr. Miller pointed out that the petition carries 4.000 signatures more than is required by law. lie suggested that publication of the 300 names would soon reveal whether any fraud was perpetrated In that connection. "But I want to say now," said Mr. Miller, “that we are not greatly concerned about the talk of ‘throwing out' pages. The men who are discussing fraud so freely have no more to do with throwing out pages than I have. The city legal department is very officious in this matter. This petition is none of their business. The document is addressed to the city council, and that body has solicited no assistance whatever from the city attorney up to this time."
HEALTH CRUSADE AT SHORTRIDGE Two-Day Institute Will Be Opened Friday. An Institute for the instruction of health crusade workers in Indiana will he held at Shortridge High School Friday and Saturday, with Miss M. Grace Osborne of New York City in charge. The institute is under the direction of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association. Miss Osborne is an Indiana woman and a native of Indianapolis. Several years ago she was associated with the Indiana Taberculosis Association, and In 1918 Joined the staff of the Illinois Tuberculosis Association as crusade director for that State. Her work was so outstanding that In 1920 the National Tuberculosis Association made her assistant national crusade director. Since Miss Osborne has become connected with the national association, the number of health crusaders in the schools has increased from approximately three million to almost six million. Health workers declare the modern health crusade is the best method of teaching children health habits. It is planned after the days of knighthood, when King Arthur and his crusaders repelled invaders and fought for Ideals. The modern health crusaders repel the enemies of health and work for cleanliness of body. Instead of being made an ordeal for the children, the crusade becomes a game and great interest is aroused. In many cities the crusade has been made a regular part of the school curriculum. Representatives from twenty-five counties will attend the institute. Marlon County will be represented by Miss Pearl Stanton, crusade director for Marlon County: Miss Grace M. Blaisdell. crusade director for the Indiana Tuberculosis Association; Miss Ina M. Gaskili, supervisor of nurses, and Miss Annabel, assistant.

LOCAL TENOR IS A GOOD FRIEND Os Charlie Chaplin and His Pal, Jackie Coogan
Most of us must be satisfied with seeing the shadows of Charlie Chaplin and Jackie Coogan. No so with George W. Kadel, a tenor, who lives at 3530 Evergreen street, Indianapolis. Kadel sang the prolog to the Chapltn-Coogan movie, “The Kid,” when that picture was first presented at the Klnema theater at Los Angeles. Cal. Both Chaplin and Coogan were present at the opening. The three appeared together at the first showings of the comedy. Kadel sang for five weeks during the run of “The Kid” movie at the Klnema. Last year. Kadel went with the Shrlners to Portland. Ore., and from there he went to Ran Francisco and Los Angeles. He was first engaged by W. G. Stewart to appear In an opera company which he was organizing for the coast. For eight weeks, Kadel was a member of this company which appeared at the California theater at Los Angeles. At the close of that engagement. Kadel went Into concert and recital work, appearing In a number of the exclusive clubs in Hollywood, Los Angeles and Frisco. H.e was engaged as soloist for the opening of Mack Sennett's comedy, “The Small Town Idol,” which ran for eight weeks In Los Angeles. Following that engagement, he appeared In connection with “The Kid" movie. Kadel then decided to get nearer Indianapolis and so he began a six-weeks' engagement at the Newman in Kansas City. At the close of that engagement. Kadel arrived In Indianapolis for a brief rest before leaving on Thursday for Cleveland. Ohio, where he becomes a soloist for S. Barrett McCormick, former manager of the Circle here, and who is now director of the new Allen Theater In ClevelandNext season Mr. Kadel expects to join one of Ralph Dunbar's opera companies, either “Carmen" or “Robin Hood." Kadel is well known in mtisical circles of the city, as he has often appeared here in public.
‘RELIGION MEANS DOING GOOD NOW’ Biederwolf Gives Concrete Examples in Sermon. “Religion means carry a bowl of soup around the corner to some sick woman: it means getting a Job and doing it: it is not a question of the sweet by and by but of helping the needy now." Dr. William Biederwolf. evange'ist, of Chicago, declared in a sermon on Monument Circle last night. The services included singing by the Cadle tabernacle choir of LOOO voices, directed by Joseph Overmeyer. “The greatest business enterprise this city has is to save souls." Dr. Biederwolf said. “The greatest thing that is to be done in this business is to bring about regenerated hearts and souls of men and women. “Rome ruin their health trying to shove up a notch in Bradstreet and some people try to get salvation while letting 'K' -rs go to the devil. We hear folks mg. ‘I Love to Tell the Story,” but they never tell It to any one, and they sing ‘l’ll Go Where You Want Me to Go,' but they never shake an ankle to help someone else. They think they get a lot of bliss out of what they do for them selves, but perhaps they will only get blistered in the wor'd to come.” The invocation was delivered by Rev. J. G. Beck of the Tuxedo M. E. Church and the benediction by Rev. F. L. Hovis, pastor of the Rt. Paul's M. E. Church.
WHAT HOLDS MEN BACK IN LIFE, IN BIANT CASES, AND MAKES THEM WEAK. NERVOUS AND IRRITABLE WHEN THET OUGHT TO BE IN THEIR VERY PRIME. As men grow older the iron in their blood is apt to thin out and as a consequence their nerves and will power become weakened and they may rapidly lose both bodily and mental vigor. A New York physician says that more than one-half the population of America perishes before middle age and that one of the chief contributary causes of this terrible waste of human life is the devita iizing weakness brought on by lack of sufficient iron in the blood. There are 30.f100.0ii0.000.000 red blood corpuscles in your blood and each one must have iron When your blood is starving for iron, no mere tonics nor stimulants can put you right; starving blood must have iron the same as a starving person must have food—iron in red blood food. But when you take iron be sure to take organic Nuxated iron and not metallic or mineral iron which people usually' take. Metallic iron is made merely by the action of strong acids on small pieces of iron, while organic Nuxated Iron is like the iron In your blood and like the iron in spinach and apples. It quickly helps make rich red blood and revitalize your wornout, exhausted nerves. Beware of substitutes. Look for the word “Nuxated" on every package and the letters N. I. on every tablet. Your money will be refunded by the manufacturers if you do not obtain’ perfectly satisfactory results. For sale by all druggists.—Advertisement.

The Truth About Indianapolis
AUTO BODY BUILDING TEN automobile and motor truck bodybuilding companies in thij city last year manufactured products with a retail value of $10,500,000. making this an important phase of the automobile industry in Indianapolis. Six commercial car body builders made 55,000 bodies during the year while the four passenger car body makers built 15,000 bodies in 1920. An Indianapolis commercial car body builder for a popular-priced car has the distinction of being the largest builder of commercial car bodies in the United States. And it was the first to build a “knockdown” type of body. Distribution of this body in the United States is through eight branch offices and eighteen distributors. Indianapolis-made passenger and commercial car bodies reach the foreign markets. Indiana oak and ash is used by the 1,500 men and women building the bodies.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1921.
P. R. R. SETTLES WITH EMPLOYES Regulations and Working Conditions Agreed Upon in Engine and Train Service. Notice has been given to the United States Railroad Labor board that the Pennsylvania railroad and the representatives of Its employes in engine and train service have mutually agreed on regulations and working conditions affecting these employes, according to a statement issued today by the company. The employes concerned are the engineers, firemen, hostlers, conductors, trainmen and switch tenders, numbering more than forty thousand. “These regulations,” says the statement, “were negotiated by representatives of the employes and -repreßentatlvee of the management, who are members of the joint reviewing committee of the Pennsylvania system. This committee was established early this year for the settlement of all controversial questions involving the employes In engine and train service. Eight representatives of the employes who sit on this committee, and who negotiated the new regulations with the management's representatives, are the system general chairmen of the four railroad brotherhoods. “The new regulations and working conditions are in the form of a system schedule for the employes concerned. Heretofore, the man In engine and train service have been working under two different schedules, one for the former lines east, and one for the former lines west of Pittsburgh. There were many points of difference between the two schedules, and many questions involved in each of the two schedules themselves, due to the fact that prior to, and during, the war the two parts of the system were not operated as ft unit. “When the Pennsylvania Railroad resumed the management of Its property on March 1, 1920, however, the system was reorganized as a unit, with four regions. When the employes in the engine and train service requested that a system schedule be established which would harmonize the differences between the existing schedules, and settle points of controversy within the schedules themselves, the members of the joint reviewing committee assumed the task and constituted themselves a schedule committee to work out anew arrangement.” CHICAGO SIRrECTS FREED. Albert King and Raymond Stewart, who say they live In Chicago, 111., arrested Juno 18 and held on vagrancy charges, were reslated today by Detectives Houlihan and Brlckley and Sergeant Chitwood, on charges of Issuing fraudulent checks. The detectives say they found ten checks, amounting to Jl<> each, in their possession, which they say are of no value.

the Chamber of Commerce last night. He bad been speaking of the loss in life' and property through fires throughout the United States last year and also had touched upon what it meant in money to the people in general who had suffered no direct fire loss. The speaker divided his time betwen residence fires and school fires, and said that he was led into fire prevention work through the fire that destroyed the school building at Collinwood, Ohio, burning many children to death, because the door leading Into the hallway of the school was fixed to open inward. Mrs. Fleming congratulated the State on having such a State fire marshal as Newton T. Miller, whom, he said, he had known and worked with a number of years in fire prevention work, and also praised the work of Capt. William Curran, of the salvage department, and the work of Frank C.
