SPADES PARK COMMUNITY TO FIGHT INVASION Property Owners Oppose Factory Plans of Victor Bearings Cos. The threat of the Victor Bearings Company that It -would move out of Indianapolis If the board of park commissioners did not approve a permit for the erection of anew plant a Ma.-*sachusetts avenue and Steele street, withiD 260 feet of Spade* park, was answered today by a statement of objecting property owner* that they will fight issuance of the permit In the courts if necessary. The property owner*, who are members of the Brookside Civic League, several of whose residences are Jnst across an alley from the proposed factory site and between the site and the park, said from $2,000 to $3,000 would be taken off of the value of their homes If the factory were built. They said the Victor j Bearings Company could easily find u ; other location not in a residence district. A statement Issued by the property owners Is as follows: “The property holders in the vicinity of Spades Para are aroused over the prospect of having a factory located at the corner of Massachusetts avenue and Steel streets. The ground at this point Is owned by W. L. Sandage. president of the Victor Bearings Company. This location is within 250 feet of Spades Park and this, being a neighborhood devoted to residences only, residents feel that if this factory is allowed to locate at that point their property will be depreciated in value and that one of the prettiest residential district* in this city, adjacent to Spades Park, will be given over to factory locations. "Mir. Sandage has refused to sell this ground to the resident* on a fair appraisal basis, saying that if he can not locate his factory at that particular place he will take It to some other city. There ar.> numerous other suitable locations for factories in various part* of town, not In residence districts, but he has refused to consider any of them. The property holders in that vicinity will not relinquish their rights for protection of their homes without the courts refuse to protect the general welfare of this community. No doubt the Chamber of Commerce would bo glad to assist Mr. Sandage In finding a suitable location for his factory. It makes no difference whether the houses themselves are large and pretentious. they are homes to the people living in them as surely as the mansions are to those who dwell therein. Both are citizens entitled to protection. “People bought property in the vicinity of Spades Park because of the fact that It afforded a splendid place for their children to enjoy fresh air and to place their homes in a beautiful location. Maslachusetts avenue and the Big Pour railroad seems to be the dividing line between the residence and factory district, nly one factory being located on the touth side of Massachusetts avenue up to this point and that Is just east of the Intersection of Massachusett* avenue and Tenth street, several blocks to the

southwest of us. We feel that factories should be kept off of the east side of Massachusetts avenue. •The city plan commission, while not functioning at this time, Is understmtd to be in favor of protecting residence , districts snd having factories located In sections of the city where they will not interfere with the value of residence properties. ‘•fours ago when Mr. Spades donated the ground for Spades Park he had the' idea of encouraging a residence district, not the ptrpose of drawing factories to the community. The people In the Spades' Park community are .not opposed to factories and industries and have the general welfare of all these institutions as much at heart as the residents of any other section, but they do insist that there should be regulation as to where factories should be located. “One hundred and sixty property owner* signed a petition to the park board {•retesting agatest the location of this factory at this point. The Brookside Civic League, with 2t'2 members, also adopted a resolution opposing the location and presented it to the park hoard.” The board Is expected to take some action this week.

KRUPP PLANTS TURN TO VARIED STEEL PRODUCTS Great German Munition Works Employing 18/JOO More Men Than Before War . Special to Indiana Dally Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. Employing 18,000 more laborers than la the pre-war period, the big Krupp plants of Germany are manufticturing .steel products ranging from locomotives to motion picture apparatus, says a special report to the Department of Commerce from William T. Dougherty, American trade representative. Believed of the Job of supplying Germany with war materials, a task which took 20 per cent of the capacity of the Krupp plants during peace times, the organization. Mr. Dougherty said, has turned from mass to refined production and is making rapid progress in the manufacture of commodities never before attempted. At what was formerly the big gun plant at Essen, the manufacture of railroad equipment has reached the point where the factory is turning out one locomotive and a train of eight fifteeu-ton ear* every working day. At the plants at Eheonhauseu, Annen and MadgcburgPuchau, automobllee, fire apparatus, street cleaning apparatus, stationary steam engines, Deise! motors, cash registers, farm machinery and machinery for the textile, paper, cement, rubber and “arthenware industries are being manufactured in addition to the usual run of iron and steel products. The fifth big Krupp plant, the shipyard at Keil-Gaardon, is work'ng wholly on passenger and cargo ship*, and rlTer barges, whereas before the war most of its energies were given over to the construction of navy craft. The yard Is equipped with eight ways and It is said to have the capacity of abort 100,000 tons. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

VAN’S LATEST JOB IS THAT OF A SPLINTER HUNTER Diving Girls Splash at Lyric — Dolls Shimmy at Park

Billy B. Tan has anew job. Oh, yes indeed, he has. Van admits that he is now a “splinter hunter.” “What's a splinter hunter?” asks .Tames J. Corbett, who is Van's fun conspirator at B. F. Keith's this week. “I am a splinter hunter for a barefooted dancer,” replies Van. “And it is Surprising, really surprising where I find some of the splinters.” Van and Corbett are making their first appearance at rhe local Keith house as a vaudeville team although their offering is similar to that presented last season with the Rock Revue at English's. Vi will be remembered for his work in “The Rainbow Girl” and the world knows that Corbett was at one time the worM’s heavyweight champion. Even on the stage. Corbett is living tip to the title gs “Gentleman Jim” as he is carefully dressed. Van is the opposite as his clothes fit him like a tent would fit. an elephant. Ail of this helps in making the offering of A'nn and Corbett one of the fun gems of the stage. Van is essentially a “low comedian” while Corbett attempts to “elevate” the situation. V-n polls out a handful of red, pink, white, yellow and blue cards and tells V ; ett that the cards are his joke index. Corbett picks out a card and Van reads i a “stale joke.” Another card reveals the .same brand of stuff. | Finally Van pulls out the only red card in the pile and starts to read a “French -joke.” “Wilt minute.” objects Corbett. “You can’t tell that story here. Tt won’t do. It isn't that kind of a story.” Van gives one of his fanny winks and remarks, “Tou can't fo<d me, Tim, I have been here before.” That brings the house down and starts a riot. Van attempts several times to tell the story on the red card, but Corbett prevent* the catastrophe. While Corbett is telling a qtret little I story, Van walks off the stage. Suddenly j the stage hands yell with laughter. Van ' walks out from the wings carrying the ! red card. “Tou hear what the gang back there did i to that joke?’ asks Van As Corbett continues, Van again draws out the red card and remarks, “But thia \ one is the old cat's tonsils.” That nearly breaks up tb *how. Corbett starts a lecture on prohibition. Van starts on the easy task of draining the contents of a hip Cash. He works up a grand stage souse and then his attention turns again to the red card. This time he can't regd it. so he passes it to a man in a box. Van and Corebtt oimply stand In front of a curtain and talk. Van stages all 1 the stunts, but the combined effort* make this team a winner There is no team in vaudeville Just like it. If they can't make you laugh, it is time that you see a . doctor. Chester Spencer and Lola Williams again are nsiru; their o'd barrel act with the noisy chatter of Spencer. Their material today makes the satrte big hit that It did seasons before. Pranklin and Charles do a little bit of everything, their aerobatic and balancing work binsr of high order. It isn't what Jed Dooley : does that counts, bnt It is what he attempts. When it comes to exposing , “tights,” the female companion he has

Lottie Mayer has been revealing her figure and her bathing suit before the American vaudeville public for many years. Her act hus become a Standard by which other acts of this type are Judged. Miss Mayer is a good showwoman and knows the fine points of her profession. Cal Dean and his “Sorority Girls” also are well known over the popular vaudeville circuit.

Dean Is on* of those portly comedians who should hare no trouble in getting anew vehicle with which to entertain his large vaudeville following. Dean is having the assistance of five girls this season. Charles It. Sweet, when the Lyric’s show was reviewed, had no trouble In halting proceedings. Sweet bills himself as a tramp comedian and he has loads of material. He made a solid hit by showing the audience how a frieud of his played “Hot Time In the Old Town" in "church time.” Personally 1 atn unable to see why Sweet slugs that very distasteful ‘boll” song He does not have t stoop to auch stuff to be the outstanding hit of the bill. He Is the biggest hit on the current bill at the Lyric. The Variety Four offer songs which ore seldom heard on the vaudeville stage. Caroline Powers Thomas plays the violin while she sings. The La Vine Duo, which includes a man and a woman and two trained dogs, open the bill in an acrobatic offering. Keefer and Alberts have lots of chatter and a song or two.
