JUDGE EICHHORN will try our icemen in October. They have tried us all summer! KILLING TWO MEN In order to obtain possession of one automobile affords an interesting study in relative values! CLERKS are now sorting mail to music in the Indianapolis postoffice department Isn’t there some music that will help the police to catch robbers ? JUST HOW -a certain evening paper is going to reconcile Major Jewett’s espousal of the Shank cause with its arraignment of the Shank supporters is considerable of a mystery! MR. RALSTON says he is appealing to the 72,000 homes in Indianapolis. Postmaster Springsteen says his carriers deliver mail to 84,000 homes. What’s the matter with the other 12,000? WE ARE NOW advised that the grand jury has been instructed not to accept any professional bondsmen as sureties, but the informant neglects to explain what the grand jury has to do with bonds! Mr. Ralston’s Speech B. M. Ralston’s opening speech in his campaign for mayor is just what might be expected of the candidate under the circumstances. He says his motto is "truth and sincerity ’; his slogan, "economy and reduction of taxes”; his alms, “a larger, better and more beautiful Indianapolis with more factories and a greater business center. No one will question the sincerity of Mr. Ralston, the need of economy and reduction of taxes or the desirability of a larger, better and more beautiful Indianapolis. ' * These are the things that all Indianapolis desires and with their enumeration the chief interest centers in how the candidate proposes to bring them about. The speech does not specifically outline a> program that will accomplish these desired purposes, but it does give one a general idea of how the candidate desires to proceed in the event of his election. Mr. Ralston says we shall take no backward step in public improvement, but "public improvements call for taxes” and "taxes must be reduced and I propose to reduce them.” "Each community,” says Mr. Ralston, "should have improvements it desires, so long as it pays for t.uem. but general improvements which are assessed against the city as a whole will be approached w|th care and carefully scrutinized before seriously considering them, and if it cannot be shown that they are absolutely essential for the betterment of the city or for the city’s need. 4, they will be refused. It would appear from thi3'that Mr. Ralston Intends to attain a lower general tax rate bv spending less money in the improvement of the city as a whole and confining improvements to that class which are locally as sessed against benefiting property owners. This is interesting as marking the first explanation from any candidate as to how taxes are to be lowered. The candidate declares that "all public utilities shall live up to their franchise requirements where the city controls.” Insomuch as none of our utilities are now operating under franchises that bind them this might be regarded as a "safe” declaration. In it there is nothing promised that the candidate could not grant as mayor. Other discussion of utility problems is confined to descriptions with which every one is familiar. Elsewhere in the speech there are indications of a fixed policy which is not made any too clear. "Sanitary conditions shall be established and maintained in all parts of the city,” says Mr. Ralston, and “mule power will way to modern methods, if the council will make the appropriations accessary to make the change.” No one can hear, or read Mr. Ralston’s speech without being impressed that the Democratic candidate for mp.yor has made sufficient of a study of the city’s needs to realize that.thpre are a great many difficulties besetting the path of the mayor who would cope with them. Many will feel that in entering this race Mr. Ralston hesitates to become too specific in defining his intentions for the reason that he evidently is too sincere to make promises that he cannot be sure of fulfilling, and hesitates to commit himself to too definite a program lest that program be unpopular in some quarters. •- There is, of course, considerable disappointment that the Democratic candidate has evidently elected not to lay before the public the weaknesses of the present administration and pledge himself to reform them, but it; njust be conceded that he has the right to appeal for support in this j campaign to whatever elements he may believe most likely to support him and he makes it plain in his speech that he expects the Republicans of Indianapolis to elect him mayor when he says: “We feel sure that we will receive more Republican votes in this campaign than will our opponents.” - The process of reasoning by which Mr. Ralston arrives at this conclusion is novel, at least, and if it proves correct he will reverse the experience of all the candidates who have preceded him. For Posterity Announcement is made that since the death of Enrico Caruso, the great Italian tenor singer, a very noticeable increase in the sale of phonograph records made by him has taken place. This is very natural, since there were many magnificent records in existence. The world is to be congratulated on the possession of such a wealth of music. One who knew said that as a singer Caruso will not have an equal or a rival for a thousand years. His voice was marvelous. But equally wonderful is the ability to preserve and transmit those wonderful tones, just as the singer made them. Hereafter any great song, or any musical production, will be saved for generations yet unborn. With Caruso, the world is truly richer for his having lived, for he has bequeathed to posterity great riches of music: He lived during the age when the phonograph was perfected. Had he been earlier, only a comparative few could have enjoyed his voice. As it is, his sweet tones appear in every clime and no home is too humble to hear clearness and great melody characteristic alone of him. In the future, not only the voice of a loved one will be reproduced, but the motion pictures may show his every movement. While these will not restore a departed person, they may be of comfort to the living. Too, those prominent in affairs, may give intern lews on subjects which w ill render them famous. The Gettysburg speech of Lincoln, if reproduced in the voice of the martyred President, would be most valuable. It may be that great men will leave great wisdom to the future in this manner. Life is more enjoyable because of the phonograph and the motion picture and as the years go by. it will continue to unfold new blessings. Perhaps, too, the world will not wait another thousand years for another Caruso. ' ■ • Right Here at Home! One need not go to California to find all the potentialities of an Ar-buckle-Rappe tragedy, as is well illustrated by the case of Rose Goetz, in which the police apDear to be so thoroughly mystified. Rose Goetz, a young girl, goes riding with two "strangers” and is left the morning after at a north side home where egress was obtained witht the tale that she had figured in an accident. At the city hospital several hours later she recovers sufficiently to reveal her identity. In the course of her experience with the “strangers” she has accumulated acute alcoholic poisoning, bruises and abrasions. Her clothes have tjeen torn and she gives many appearances of having been roundly abused. Four policemen are assigned to the investigation and there the whole matter to rest. Had the girl been fatally injured, jthe circumstances would have been no different. Indianapolis maintains a large forca of women policemen—said to be the best In the world. The presumption is that the Goetz case is one in Which they might be intensely interested, but are they? It might be pointed out in this case that there is evidence of liquor law violation, evidence of maltreatment by two.hien of a woman, evidence of a loose condition of morals that makes it possible for a girl to spend the night In an auto with two “strangers.” What particular dafforence does it make whether assignation houses. nri on four wheels oi\lndianapolis real estate? •

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.—Just suppose a member of President Harding's Cabinet had a country home in Surrey, Eng land. What a rumpus the Irish Americans would make over it. Y'et the honorable Frederick E. Guest, British air minister and whip of the conservative party in the British Parliament, has a country home in Rpslyn, Long Island, and nobody In England Is at all exercised about the matter. Captain Guest has an American wife, who was Amy Phipps, of Pittsburgh and New York, and he divides his holiday's between the two countries. Captain Guest said he had followed the battleship-airplane tests of. the Virginia Capes with keen interest, but that he was over here privately and for a rest and therefore did not care to discuss air matters. An amusing feature of the British air minister's stay is that very few of the new acquaintances he has made in fashionable Long Island know he is a member of Lloyd George's cabinet. He has enjoyed the situation immensely. Captain Guest and his American wife placed their handsome home in London at the Disposal of the United States Navy for a hospital during the war. NEWPORT COMES BACK AS SUMMER RESORT. “Newport came back this summer and Cully regained its former title as the premier summer resort of America,” said one of the inner circle In a saunter along fifth avenue. Despite all that has been printed about the popularity of Southampton ami the prediction that the Long Island playground is destined to take the place the city by the cliffs In Rhode Island has so long occupied in the fashionable life of this country', the fact remains that Newport has once more enjoyed the identical status that It did In the days before the World \\ ar. The greatest proof that Newport’s star is again in the ascendancy was in the large number of newcomers to the resort. There were numerous families from New York, and even Western cities, who

for the first time spent the summer there. Several of the old-estajdished families who have been absent returned, notably among them Mr. and Mrs. John Thompson Spencer, who have for a long time been the leaders of the Philadelphians in Newport, and who for two years have been visiting their son, Mr. Willing Spencer, in the Orient, where he held several diplomatic posts. But the important fact Is that Newport came back. Those who go there feel it Is unquestionably the most beautiful resort in America as well as socially the most exclusive. INDIAN STOPS AT WALDORF ASTORIA. For a week there has been an Osage Indian at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel who does not know how rich he is. He came from Oklahoma to check up with the various oil companies the amounts they paid to the Federal appointee who is his guardian. “I am allowed $25,000 a year by my guardian and that is not enough.” he told me In perfeet English, at the same time requesting that I do not publish his name: "Fourteen oil companies have wells on my property. One of those Is paying my guardian $274 a day in royalties. The others T have not seen but shall before I go down to Washington and formally present my demand to the Interior Department for a large allowance. A WORD OR TWO ABOUT DIVORCES. A startling echo of a recent sensational divorce case cams to the writer from the lips of a prominent member of the “srnsK-t set.” How any man could be drawn on ns this man was through Infatuation for a woman is beyond belief. She even,went so fnr as to Involve him in procuring a pardon for her brother, who was serv ing a sentence in a New York State orison for burglary Obtaining tho pardon cost thousands of dollars. It was for the benefit of a man whom he had never secs and who belonged to a social level far beneath him The ex burglar who was freed has since been cared for financially by that man. Further, the victim of this conspiracy within a net work of conspiracies lives in dally fear the circumstances surrounding the granting of the pardon may be investigated. HERE’S STORY BY A DETECTIVE. This Is a little story of the henrt of a detective. E,t him tell it: ‘‘lt is the only time in my life that I was unfaithful to my employer I was working at the time for a st-et railway corporation. An opera singer had sued for a large sum of money for dam aces suffered in falling from the steps of a surface raj on Broadway. The attorneys for the corporation put me out to break down the woman’s case and prove, if possible, tt was her own fault, or that she was addicted to the use of alcoholic liquors. She was living In n fashionable hotel, where I went to live, and soon established that her injury was bona fide. After a time she put away her‘crutches and eventually I catne to know her and to enjoy her confidence ■She was n beautiful woman of character, wirh a marvelous lyric soprano voice One night, after a fit es depression, for j she had lost her contract through her accident, she told me the Incidents that immediately preceded the fall from the car. With n party she had been to the theater, and later there was a lot of drinking. One man, an elderly bnt financially powerful personage, took ft sudden fancy to her. Kbe left and. rushing to the street, boarded a our. Imaglno her surprise, after the car had gene several blocks, to s-e the object of her aversion enter and make hU way toward her. She arose and rushed to the exit In her excitement she jumped the wrong way, fracturing her leg. As far ns the case was concerned, her admission to me was orejrigh to lose her claim against the. company. I made an honest report and it was pigeon-holed awaiting the calling of the "!w. T hen I resigned from the corporation and the last thing I did was to remove all the papers In the case from the files of the corporation ” "Did she win the suit?” I asked. “Yes, collected $5 000.” was the reply, “for when the case was tried several years later the corpration’s trial lawyer had no Information npon which to base his cross-examination. As for the singer 1 have never talked nor communicated ! with her from the night of her con ! fessinn, but once tn Paris I r.w her i hilled and I went in to hear tier sing She will never know what 1 did for her"

Keeping House With the Hoopers

Follow them daily in an interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.) SATURDAY. “How Is Betty, this morning?” asked Helen as her grandmother returned from speaking with the doctor as he was going out of the front door.” “She had a bftd\night, ho says —and he Is coming again right after luncheon," was the frightened answer. Helen was dusting the furniture In the living room after having helped' her grandmother clean the kitchen and dining room, while Roger busied himself with the front and back porch and in shaking tho rugs. “It’s good we have a lot of work to do," she said philosophically, “or wed be awfully worried.” "I am very worried as it Is," answered her grandmother, sitting down In the big chair and fanning herself with her apron. "I wish your father was at home.” “1 wonder vhy mother doesn't tell him to come?” Inquired Helen as she carefully wiped the base of the reading lamps upon which a film of dust had collected “Well, she doesn't want to worry him, 1 suppose,” her grandmother replied, * but 1 didu’t like the way that doctolooked when he went out. and his coming back right after luncheon sort of scares roe." Perhaps we’d better ring up father and tell him to come home because Betty is worse, suggested Helen, getting down on her knees and rubbing the leg of the old piano industriously. Oh. I wouldn’t dream of doing such a* tiling,' exclaim?! her grandmother fearfully. Your mother knows what Is best to be done In a case like this, and we’d only be Interfering.” Bell, I think mother Is pretty worried. too," volunteered Helen, "so she may fell father h rsclf.” hut makes you think she is more worried fhan usual, dear?" asked her grandmother- \\ ell, she didn't send down any or ders for us today, and I don’t believe she rang up the market or nnythlng this morning, and (here's all those peaeqes downstair* that the Bride ordered for us. and she hasn't told us nhat to do with them,” replied Helen soberly 1 here s something wrong when mother forgets to look out for things like that" “Well, she told mo yesterday to make some Jam,” her grandmother reminded her "Yes, but not out of all those perfectly good peaches, grandma.” said Helen. Hell Just have to go right downstairs and put them up ts soon as I finish dust ing this room.” Half an hour later Helen and her i grandmother were following Mr*. Hoop er' ret ire for putting up peaches, which they found on her file, and as tho Bride had made a mistake, and ordered a bushel of poncho* instead of half n bushel as Mrs. Ifooper had asked her to do. there was plenty of the best of the fruit for eight quarts, with some of the second grade peaches left fr Jam. They used one pound and six ounces 0 f sugar to 1 each quart of water which made a heavy ayrnp and boiled the sugar Hud water together until the sugar was all ills solved. Then they blanched the peaches - and removed the skins. After that they ! gave them a cold nip and then with a ' big spoon to prevent crushing the fruit ! packed them into hot sterlliaed jars. 1 lie hot syrup was then poured over the j fruit until the Jars were overflowing, the tops were adjusted nnd the jars, covered with boiling water and “processed" for sixteen minutes after the boiling had commenced. As Helen surveyed their handiwork after the Jars had been tightened and set up inverted to test lenkage, she ex claimed i "Don't they look lovely, grandma? I’m' going to stick a little murker on them ! *" that we can tell them from mother's when we eat. them next winter, I know they'll ho fine.” “They'll probably apoil, that's what they'll do,” said Roger gloomily.

Hell, by and by the afternoon wore away and evening came, so Tuss started back to the wood to see what the fairies would do when they saw the little box which Old Manny Jill had given him to lay at the toot of the big aak tree. And after a while he saw the fairies coming out of their tittle houses In the flowers and ferns and fall grasses. And then, all of a sudden, one of the fairles spied tho little box at the foot of the oak tree.

Daring- Mermaids Get Bolder V Bolder BOSTON, Sept. 24.—Fair bathers considered themselves quite daripg when they appeared at local be'-bes with stockings rolled down to 'e’r knees, and when they rolled them down far enough to show the dimples on said knees and didn't ge( "pinched" they thought they were “getting away” with something. Then when th© really courageous mermaids continued the rolling process to their ankles they were—o o-h. so daring! Now comes the announcement that there Is no rule nnd has not been a reg ulation compelling th® wcnr'ng of stockings at State bathing reservations. In other words, the mythical regulation has been self-enforced, snd th® bench heart-breakers are wondering whether to blame the blue-law advocates for the propaganda that put It across for two years.

LEGION TO OPEN FREE 'VETS’ HOTEL Hostelry to Be Provided Penniless ex-Fighters. CHICAGO, Sept. 24—The Vets’ Hotel, to be used exclusively by homeless and penniless veterans of the World War, will be- opened here this fall. The hostelry, the first of its kind In America, will be conducted under the auspices of the American Legion. It will be run on the “honor system.” Men who fyught overseas and aye hungry, bedless and out of work can obtain food and lodging free. If the man is able to pay he can pay whatever he desires. If penniless, he can live there without charge until ho obtains a job. The hotel, located in the building housing the old Grand Pacific Hotel will house 1.000 men, with a bathroom for every five men. Meals will be served twice a day and an employment bureau .free of charge, will be conducted as an adjunct. “We want to emphasize the fact that this is not a charity,” explained Capt. Myron E. Adams, legion commander. “The men can come, be fed and housed, and still maintain their self respect. It is presumed that each one will pay back the costs to the hotel once they get on their feet ” He declared, however, there would be "no dunning" for the money owed the bot<el. “We expect to get enough funds from 'hree sources to underwrite the venture. These Rre. first from the over funds of war relief organizations; second, from private individuals interested in the welfare of former soldiers, and third, from the men themselves.”

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. On the Road, Sept. 24. JUST north of Minneapolis In a setting of rare charm is a chain of lake* that make* up what 1* called Lake Minnetonka. Along the undulating shores of these lakes are beautiful road* dotted with suburban homes as artistic architecturally and with as graceful settings as can be found In almost any part of America. Innumerable canoes are on these lakes with small sallcraft of every kind and variety. One of the most delightful structures in ail the Minnetonka region •is a country club designed by some person of rsre judgment In the simplest yet most exquisite tasta. Minnetonka is the suburban summer home district of the well-to-do of Minneapolis. They would have to travel far to find anything to surpass this sylvan spot. ' Some day the lake region of Minnesota will claim more attention from Americans It is one of nature's beauty spots, with every prospect pleasing to lovers t'f woodland, hills and wonderful waterways. Maine has 1,000 lakes or more, but Minnesota has 10,000. • • • THE Omaha people are sharing the knobs off various of their hills and depositing them In the hollows, it’s cheaper and hetter to do it now than later, when property becomes too valuable to disturb. There are hills enough in the heart of the city to satisfy any ordinary person, for today the person afoot has to bring all his leg muscles Into play to climb up and down the principal thoroughfares. Kansas ' 'By in the old days had nothing oa Gtnnha in this respect. * EAST and West biend at Omaha. Men In derby hats and vlci kid shoes, and men 4n hroad-brlmmed imitation heaver hats and cowhide boots are found side hy side on street and in hotel lobby. The derhy-hat persons are real. Those in broad-brimmed hats are imitation cowboys. They are straight-legged as any Easterner, while an honest-to-goodness cowpuncber from the raEge ought to be as bow-legged as was tue late lamented Nicholas, King of Montenegro. There’s some of the old West left tn the region between the Missouri and the Rockies, but the farm ts crowding the range more and more, and the honest-to-goodnees cowboy is fading away.
