LEW SHANK WILL CONDUCT FIGHT FROM HIS PORCH First of Home Fetes Held Last Night— City Chairman Absent. Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican candidate for mayor, has started a “front porch" campaign. Approximately seventy-five Republican workers, comprisin'- all but four or five of the regular Republican ward chairmen, all of the men who served as ward chairmen in the Shank and Robison primary organizations and a number of other ward and precinct leaders gathered on the front lawn of the Shank residence. 5547 East Washington street, last night. This, according to Mr. Shank, Is only the beginning of the “lawn parties.” The three sets of ward chairman have been Instructed to invite their respective precinct committeemen to the Shank home •next Monday evening. Between 400 and 500 men are expected to respond. Later next week the Shank, Robison and Howe women ward chairmen will be invited to come to the front porch. CITY CHAIRMAN NOT PRESENT. Features of the meeting last night were the absence of Republican City Chairman Inring W. Lemaux, and strong speeches In support of Mr. Shank made by regular ward chairmen, who once were considered Chief spokes in the wheel of the NewsJewett wing, which is trying to defeat Shank. Mr. Lemaux was not invited. No Shank leader will say that he will or will not be invited to future meetings. Mr. Shack said he had not thought of Mr. Lemaux for some time, which generally was taken to indicate that if there Is any move toward peace between Lemaux and Shank in the war which started when the candidate demanded that the Chairman resign, it wil have to come from Lemaux. There was every indication that the Shank forces intend to continue their announced policy of getting au organization in shape for the coming campaign regardless of what the city chairman does. The fact that practically all of the regular ward chairman, particularly those from districts where the Shank support is counted strongest, came to the meeting last night and pledged their best efforts to the success of the entire ticket was understood to have greatly encouraged the Shank leaders in their belief that the personal appeal of Mr. Shank is strong enough to enable him to weather any organization storm. ORGANIZATION IS BEING BCILT. Just how the Shank leaders Intend to find niches in the organization scheme for three chairmen from each ward and three committeemen from each precinct hag not been made known. The leadera refused to comment upon the problem, asserting that it remains to be worked out. It Is understood, however, that the new organization is being built upon the regular Republican ward chairmen and precinct committeemen, since they are the legally chosen representatives of the members of the party Jn the election There is work enough on hand to open posts for men from all three of the primary factions, the managers say. The difficult task of welding the three units Into one working has been left to Dr. E. E. Hodgln. Shank s chief campaign manager In the primary fight, who ,-has been more of a city chairman in fact, since shsnfc's nomination, than Mr. Lemaux. FIVE JETVFTT MEN ABSENT. The regular ward chairmen absent last night were Edward MeGuff of the Eighth ward. Russell Willson of tne Second ward Thomas D. Stevenson of the Fourth ward. Ernest Adolay of the Eleventh ward and Leonard M. Quill of the Thirteenth ward. MeGuff Is chief of the city weights and measures department. Willson Is president of the city council and Stevenson is city attorney. All have been counted strictly loyal to Mayor Charles W. Jewett. McGuff Bnd Stevenson In particular because they were appointed by him. Willson has been the leader of the administration wing of the city council for three and a half years. Mr. Shank said he did cot know why Willson and Stevenson were absent. McGuff telephoned that he was sorry he could not come. On the other hand there were several Jewett appointees at the meeting who were reported to have taken a strong stand in favor of Mr. Shank. Among these were A. M. Buchanan, chairman of the First ward and superintendent of garbage and ash collection for the board of sanitary commissioners: C. Tom Johnson, active worker In the Second ward and chief clerk In the city health department, and A. O. Meloy, chairman of the Fifteenth ward and city street commissioner. Dlxson H. Bynum, assistant city attorney, was present for a short time. John J. Maroney, city street lighting Inspector, also attended. Edward J. Robison, one of the men whom Sha ik defeated, was one of the -Speakers who strongly Indorsed Mr. Shank. R. Harry Miller, T. M. Greenlee, William _H. Jackson and Henry Fleming were among Robison followers who spoke. The latter two were Robison's chief negro lieutenants. SherifT George Snider, William E. Reilley and Mr. Shank were other speakers. John C. Ruckelshaus, president of the Columbia Club, telephoned from the Indianapolis Country Club, where he was attending the State Bar Association meeting. that he was sorry he could not accept Mr. Shank's invitation but that he was to be counted upon as supporting the entire Republican ticket and that Mr Shank should call upon him at any time for anything he could do. • Citizens in West Plan to Mine Coal DENVER, July 14.—Taking advantage for the first time of the Government coal leasing act of February, 1020, eighty citizens of southwest Colorado and Ne ■ Mexico, headed by Xavier Dufer of Aztec, N. M., have been granted a license to mine coal. Section % of the Federal coal leasing act provides that citizen* may combine to mine coal on Government land free of charge, provided no profit Is made. In their application for a license Dufer and his associates allege that coal operators in the San Juan district are charg- j ing prohibitive prices. Decatur Assessment Drop Over a Million • Special to The Time* GREEXSBt'RG, Ind., July 14.—The to- ! tal taxable* in Decatur County for the year 1921 are *l.O45,<XM> less than the amount of taxables assessed In the coun- : tv in 1920 acccordlfig to figures based on the tax duplicates which were given out today by J.

Davis vu completely burled but by quick work on.fbe part of faU comrades he was dug out alive. He suffered a broken leg and ] a crushed arm and chest.

Well ,Which It It? NEW YORK. July 14.—This is the latest legal puzzle: Is a woman attired In a modern bathing suit dressed or undressed? Magistrate Kochendorfer of the Jamaica police court says she is •‘undressed." Mrs. Margaret Posthauser, haled before him for disorderly conduct, takes the opposite view. The defendant was specifically charged with removing her clothing on the beach, “right down to that bathing suit she has on.” The magistrate took one look at the white jersey suit and decided she was guilty of "undressing In public.” He suspended sentence. DUPONT, MAXIM, GARY, FAVOR OF LIMITING ARMS (Continued From Page One.) , pany's military powder plants used by the United States and the allies during the war have been dismantled and scrapped to the extent of 93 per cent cf their capacity." GARY WANTS ALL PORTERS TO ACT. Judge Gary based his approval of armament llimtation upon the basis of all great powers acting In concert. “Upon the assumption that, all other countries connected with the high seas will agree to limitation concerning armaments I should like to see the United States paticipate on a Just and reasonable basis.” he said. The veteran Maxim favored a five-year world truce, to enable all nations to determine the proper extent of armament curtailment. “An armament,truce Is what 1s needed among the United States. Groa Britain. France, Italy and Japan in order to save the colossal cost of a race for supremacy by force of arms,” he stated. “And thus let the world wounds inflicted by the great war be healed and some of the waste repaired and greatly needed internal development and national progress be fostered by the man power and money that would be released. ARMAMENT ONLY FOR POLICING. “Leading nations must always maintain sufficient armament for needed policing of land and sea to maintain good behavior.” Commercial aeronautics would be greatly benefitted by disarmament, according to Talbot, of the Dayton-Wright Airplane Company. To this. Colonel Deeds added: “The real aviation development —along commercial lines —which is to come will produce vastly different planes than the battle craft. “I believe that if some sort of a disarmament plan Is evolved, it will be a good thing for aeronautics." Secretary Mason and Farke-Davis Company, unqualifiedly approved the Harding conference. “The principle has always been a good one and If the Washington meeting results In an agreement It will tend not only to lessen the chances of war but relieve the people of the world of bardensome taxation," he said. WAR TRUSTS IN PEACE TIME TRADE LONDON, July 14. British “war trusts” which turned out death dealing instruments during the war. are now engaged largely In production of peace machinery. Officials of several munitions .concerns told the United Press today they will be little affected by limitation of armamenta which is expected to grow out of the Washington conference called by Harding.' The production of straight war materials now manufactured by the famous Vickers, Limited, Is extremely small compared with the manifold activities of its huge workshops, an official of that concern said. “Proof that Vickers Is fully equipped for peace work Is contatned In th fact that practically all our factories whl- h were constructed especially for manufacture of munitions during the war are now being maintained for production of more peaceful things,” he declared. “Airplane engines, automobile Tarts, machine tools— they are all furnished from our mills. The plants at Sheffield and Barrow have been converted exclusively to making locomotives, while that at Erlth Is making cardboard box machinery and that at Crayford auto parts and so on. “We have not been obliged to close down our plants Just because the world Is tired of Instruments of death.” Armstrong, Whitesworth &. Cos. took a similar attitude. FRENCH MAKERS OPPOSE MOVE PARIS, July 14. —Opposition of some of the big munitions manufacturers of Europe to disarmament was revealed here today la connection with the meeting of the League of Nations committee of disarmament, which was scheduled to meet here Saturday. Although the league Invited the manufacturers to appoint permanent members of the committee, they refused to have anything to do with the project, It was stated. Asa consequence the league Itself was nhliced to find three representatives of munitions Interests who would consent to serve. Those finally agreed on were: Secretary Hodez of the Federation of Czecho-Slovakian Industrial of Progue; President Langkjer of the Arbejdsglverforening Vestervoldgadeo of Copenhagen, and Thomas Findley, president and director of the Massey, Harris Company of Toronto.

The supplemental letter to Mayor Jewj ett is a a follows : “Herewith we are enclosing to yon n copy of a letter this day sent to Mr. Russell Willson, president of the i common council, a copy of which has ! been sent to each member of the | council. The condition is so serious end requires such prompt attention that we most respectfully urge upon you your cooperation in bringing about the result that Is sought. Unless It is brought about, we have no hesitation whatever in saying that we will either have to abandon the basic 5-cent fare and come to a much higher basic fare, or else have serious impairment in the service rendered by the company, and possibly an abandonment of service on those lines where the jitney competition Is most serious. “You will probably be surprised to learn that on West Washington street, „ South Meridian street and the Went Indianapolis lines the jitneys are taking more than 50 per cent of the entire revenue paid for transportation. This necessarily means that these linca are being run at a heavy dally loss.” Although regulation of the Jitney busses so as to check their Inroads on the street car company was one of the considerations that entered Into the agreement reached when 5-cent fare was resumed, the council has done nothing toward drafting such an ordinance.

CROWDS CALL AT STATEHOUSE TO HONOR GRESHAM (Continued From Page One.) have one’s faith called In question; It has persuaded u* that we believed In Americanism enough to be still willing to fight for it, and If necessary die. “I can Imagine these old veterans among us frMn the Civil War, looking at our younger generations wondering whether we possessed the hardihood of old campaigners of the sixties. Had not luxury softened us? Were we not 100 pampered with wealth and comforts to endure anything of the privations of the field? Would we younger men fight as they fought at Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Spottsj'lvanla, in the wilderness, before Petersburg, and Richmond. or at Gettysburg? And I con- ! fess that I myself sometimes doubted | whether we possessed that mornl fiber. | Yet this recent war gave ns opportunity to test ourselves. And as as observer, mnv I sav candidly that these men are worthy of their sires! The virtue that steeled th embattled farmers who bled on the lawns of Lexington, who fought with the butts of their rifles when sm- | munition wa expended at Bunker Hill, and who left their bleeding tracks In the anows of Valley For£3, that same virtue still resides in the breasts of young America. Here beneath the flag born in the first struggle, and since baptized by the blood of several generations lies the proof of my assertion. HOOSIER FIRED FIRST SHOT. "As citizens of Indiana, we may he particularly proud of our contribution to the World War as we are of that to the Civil War. I think I am within the bounds of truth when I sav that Indiana furnished a larger percentage of voluntary enlistments in proportion to her population than any of her sister States: that she furnished a greater percentage of total soldiery. And we sha'l never forget that it was a citizen of our commonwealth who pulled the lanyard that fired the first American shot into the German host. Sergeant Arch of South Bend. And, above all, that it was a citizen from Indiana who honored this State by being the first under our own flag to die under fire for his country—Corporal Gresham! Who among us would not covet today the honor he reflects upon his commonwealth? "Os course, we shudder at the horrors of war, the sacrifices of young life. A book which has been the repository of consolation for countless generations of all brandies of Christendom says: ’lt is appointed upon men once to die.' Why not then die for something? Our American Legion ritual says: ’Life at most is a turniug candle that sometimes comes to end.’ Why not give that end to some purpoae or great cause? No one can honestly say that the 60,000 American dead in the World War accomplished nothing! Who can measure their accomplishments ? "A further word from the Bible says: ’He shall see of the travail of his soul and be satisfied ' Dare wo not believe that our honored may be conscious of the course of events upon the earth? What satisfaction must then be theirs in the present trend of international politic*? For, frankly, I regard the coming international conference of nations In Washington a* the mosts gnifleant event since No. 11, 191S, and the most promising. | "There has been much disappointment I and cynicism among ex-service tnen since j the armistice, due to the feeling that their mt'itary victory has been politically lost. For theirs was not only a war for the defense of America, but commonly ao- ’ claimed as a ‘war to end war.’ And I believe that we are nearer that accomplishment now than ever. God grant our j hope and theirs may be realised.” By order of Governor Warren T. McCray tne flag of the Statehouse was half I mast during the time the body was in | the building.

OBREGON WILL RESCIND ORDER FOR TAX ON OIL High Export Levy Caused American Producers to Cease Operation. GALVESTON, Texas, July 14.—The Obregon government has capitulated in Its recent order imposing an added 25 per cent export tax on crude oil, according to dispatches reaching here today from Mexico City. A presidential decree officially revoking the tax order la about to be issued. Decision to rescind the order, which has caused foreign oil producers to lodge vigorous protests with their home governments and later caused the American producers to close down the great wells around Tampico, Is reported to have been reached by Obregon in an all-night session with a committee from the chamber of deputies. Obregon has received "semi-official assurances” from Washington that the American Government will not impost an Import duty on Mexican oil, according to advices from Mexico City. The presidential proclamation rescinding the tax order will, It is understood, urge an immediate resumption of production in all flleds to relieve unemployment. Thousands of men were thrown out of work when the foreign producers decided to shut down rather than pay the 25 per cent tax and the unemployment situation has become acute. This is particularly true of the Tampico district where all the big wells shut down. President Obregon has invited the foreign producers to meet with him in conference and endeavor to work out an equitable plan which will perpetuate good will an:l stimulate production, according to Mexico City advices U. S.

Good health is a woman’s greatest asset. With it she may be the Inspiration of her husband, a happy mother, and the life of the home. Without it she suffers agonies herself, household duties are a burden,, and,her family ia made miserable by her condition. Is it any wonder that these women were nervous and irritable after suffering so long from such deranged conditions? Such ailments act directly upon the nerves, and it has been said that a large percentage of nervous prostration, nervous despondency, “the blues,” and nervous irritabilty of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. If women who are in this condition would only profit by the experience others and take Lydia E.
