NO MATTER how unpopular an American Cabinet becomes, it never quits! NO ONE is going to disagree with Mayor Shank’s statement that the superintendent of the city hospital should be qualified, but there is likely to be some difference of opinion as to whether he is; THE NEW ADMINISTRATION of Huntington arranged to build two new schools at its first meeting. The Indianapolis school board is too busy rewarding some one’s political favorites to consider bull ngs. Going Too Far! After reading about and listening to the discussion ox so-ca.iea criminology experts who addressed the conference of judges at the State House one has an inclination to go out and throw a brick througn a jewelry store window or insult a policeman or commit some other act ot indiscretion in order to be admitted to one of the penal institutions they described. According to the descriptions, the penal institutions of Indiana are wonderful places, where prisoners can be right at home, work eight hours a day, enjoy motion pictures, go to church on Sunuay, ana even earn wages. But even with all these things they are not good enough. Our penal Institutions should be improved, the experts tell us. If all the improvements suggested are made, the wardens of the various institutions will be required to keep guards on the walls to prevent the public from breaking in. The parole boards, if things keep on, will have to go out of their way to find someone to parole. Nobody will wish to leave a prison and go out into the world, where he will have responsibilities and more than likely far fewer comforts. Being a convict must be a great life. The conference was called for the ostensible purpose of aiding In suppressing crime and enforcing laws. Like most such conferences, It was taken possession of by those dreamers who, while speaking loud!) about the necessity of protecting society, at the same time insist that violators of law and outragers of society should be given all the comforts of home and be treated as royal guests while in the custody of the State. This sort of attitude, together with the parole, indeterminate sentence and probation systems, is one of the things responsible for increased crime. Punishment is losing most of its terrors. One of the speakers at the conference said that most men are actuated largely by fear of punishment and hope of reward. Some of the discussion indicated a tendency to reward crime. There should, however, always be borne in mind the fact that reformation should go hand in hand with punishment. Every effort should be made to make good citizens out of persons who have been convicted of crime. At the same time there should be instilled in the mind of every potential lawbreaker the feeling that violation of the law will mean punishment. As the treatment of criminals is being handled it is doubtful if there really is any fear of punishment in the person who is so constituted that he does not do right merely for the sake of doing right. If he fails, to be turned loose through the probation system or the parole system he faces nothing more uncomfortable than he has been accustomed to and often his environment is much more pleasing to him. The prevention of crime can never be brought about by any such practices.

Waterloo in Prospect? The Beveridge meeting last night probably will be interpreted as conclusive proof that Albert J. Beveridge will eventually land in the senatorial primary as the opponent of Harry S. New. who has announced his determination to seek renomination regardless of Cabinet opportunities. From now on it is safe, in political reckoning, to regard Mr. Beveridge as a candidate. With this in mind, political prognosticators must give heed to the peculiar situation that has developed in Marion County, where a desperate fight will ensue between the two principals. The largest political machine in Marlon County today is what is known as the Shank machine, which so successfully routed the old Jewett-News combination. Naturally, the managers of the two senatorial candidates are looking with longing eyes on this organization, and every effort is now being made to align it with each of the two senatorial candidates. Mr. Beveridge's managers have somewhat of a handicap in what was unquestionably an implied If not an actual pledge made to the Indianapolis Star by the Shank forces of support for Beveridge In return for the Star’s belated support of Shank. Mr. Shank, himself, has already partly repaid that obligation by a public announcement that his choice for Senator is Mr. Beveridge. But it is significant that Mr. Shank coupled his announcement with a statement that he did not intend to force his machine into the fight against New. The signific- nee o' tliis e atemeit lies m the fact that it is impossible for Mr. Shank to deliver to Mr. Beveridge the w’hole of the forces that supported Shank in the primaries. A large part of the Shank organization, especially its heads, are now dealing with the managers of Harry S. New with a view to giving him as much of the Shank organization support as it is possible for them to deliver. The question that worries the political prognosticator Is the size of this support that leaders of the Shank organization will be able to deliver to New. It is not beyond the realms of possibilities that the Shank organization will be split completely on the senatorial question and will disintegrate before it is a year old. This is certain to occur if its leaders continue the efforts which they are now making to outline a county slate with Mr. New as its head. Who Is He? In response to a rather general inquiry it might be said that the Capt. Michael Glenn who is now reported to have appointed a committee of business men to draft an ordinance regulating certain traffic in Indianapolis Is the same Mike Glenn who was removed from the police force during the administration of Joseph E. Bell after he had opened and begun the operation of a case on Indiana avenue for “mixed” patrons. At the beginning of this year he was made a captain of police and assigned to the traffic squad. There is nothing in the police regulations empowering the captain of the traffic squad to appoint committees or to revise the traffic laws, and heretofore the incumbents have found themselves fairly busy endeavoring to enforce traffic laws as they exist. Capt. Michael Glenn Is presumed to have considerable political Influence in a territory on the west side known as “Glenn's Valley.” Previously to the election of Mayor Shank it was not generally known that he was to take charge of traffic in Indianapolis. Nor was it expected when he did assume a police uniform that he would direct a committee of his own choosing, of which he Decomes a part, to revise the traffic code. A Close Alliance The South Bend News-Times quotes Mayor Seebirt of South Bend as declaring: “Not every bootlegger is a crook, a thief, a burglar or a murderer, but every murderer, burglar, thief or crook is either directly or indirectly a bootlegger.” And in commenting on the statement the paper says that: “The vast majority of law abiding citizens, who have no strong conscientious scruples against alcoholic drinks, have failed to recognize Jhe seriousness of law violations or the inevitable connection between fifr^crime. “There are many who do not hesitate to traffic with these dealers in contraband drinks or in the poisoned counterfeits which are spreading death, madness and violence over the country. “These same people would hesitate to buy a stolen automobile, the loot of a burglar or the bonds taken by a yegg in an assault upon a bank. “The ranks of these older classes of criminals are being recruited from the ranks of bootleggers and all of them turn to this crime quite naturally as an aid to their own business.”

WHIPPING POST ADVOCATED BY LETTER WRITER Prosecutor Receives Anonymous Note Suggesting Cure for Criminals. A revival of the whipping post is suggested by a person signing himself as “A Citizen,” in a letter received by Prosecutor William P. Evans today, as a supplementary punishment to prison sentences. The letter was received by Mr. ETans as he was leaving to ittend a conference of Indiana judges and prosecutors for the purpose of crime prev mtion. The letter follows: “The crime wave n this State and other States is increasing alarmingly, in spite of increased penalties for burglary, robbery and other brutal crimes. It seems as though long terms of incarceration do not have the desired effect and l believe a mode of punishment soon will have to be adopted In addition to the regular prison sentence. The punishment I refer to Is the whipping post. “A few well-directed and well-laid lashes upon the bare backs of some of these scamps, I believe, would have a most salutary effect upon their operations. It is said that in States nnd countries where this form of punishment is in force it is an object of terror to criminals. They care nothing for IncareeraI tion. but they do abhor and wince at i corporal punishment. It Is held by some to be too brutal and barbarous for a [civilized community, but it is shocking I to read In the papers nearly every day how these thugs cut. shoot and beat up their victims in their work of robbery and plunder. There is no punishment too severe or barbarous for such things In my opinion. In such cases it is a punishment that well (its the crime. “We have a law for the execution of murderers, then why can not we 1 ave a law for the flogging and whipping of potential murderers. Is there much difference in the degree of barbarity? The particular crimes that should come under this clause of punishment are burg’ary, robbery and hold ms This is u k'nil punishment that they will never forget, and it will hav ■ a most iii-Jln" tin pivsMon upon some of these scoundrels. Believing and hoping there are no constitutional flaws to Interfere with the the enactment of such a law by the next legislature, I am sa’lulled from what I have heard about ibis form of punishment It would have a most deterrent ..nd salutary effect upon the commission of crime in this State. "Your for law and orfler. "A CITIZEN " The prosecutor had no comment to offer on the suggestion. KING ADDS ONE MORE DENIAL Says Senator New Won’t Take Hays’ Job. Penial that Senator Harry R New will succeed Will H. Hayes os postmaster general, should the latter resign, was added today to tho denial made by the Senator himself last week, by l red I King. Indiana manager of the New campaign. "About the most futile pastime in which any one interested in current Indiana politics may engage now is speculation concerning the possibility of the appointment of Senator New to succeed Will H Hays ns postmaster general In the event Mr Hays should resign te ac■ept the position said to have bsen offered him by the motion picture Industry." the statement aald Mr King said the cabinet appointment talk "is engendered in (lie vain hops that something might turn up to pave the way fur the realization of other ambitions and other desires" Senator New announced last week In a letter to Charles A. Book waiter, his Marion County manager, that he would not accept a cabinet appointment.

LEO CARRILLO RETURNS TO TOWN In an Old Play Instead of a New One

Leo Carrillo appears to bo in the same unfortunate position of many other players who are unable to find new suitable vehicles. Carrillo probably made his biggeit success as the Italian man dressmaker for rich society women In “ Lombardi, Ltd.,”

a comedy of a certain phase of New York life by Frederick and Fanny Ilatt o n . Since that play was produced more than threo years ago, Carrillo has failed to And a vehicle which would compare In popularity with the Hatton comedy. Only a few weeks ago, be discarded “The Love Chef,” which was considered a failure. He then

Leo Carrillo. went Into vaudeville and after a limited engagement “revived” the Hatton comedy in which he is now touring the country. Although the Hattons have written a smart and up-to-date comedy around a man dressmaker for women, making the "him dressmaker” nearly a saint and all that sort of stuff. I think the play would be plain bunk if Carrillo had not created the Lombardi role. He has mastered the Italian dialect perfectly and has "caught' •he mannerisms of the male dressmaker In such a degree that Lombardi becomes a lovable human being and not a rahrah boy. Carrillo has contributed excellent act iug and the years since the play was seen here have added only greater beauty and depth to the acting of Carrillo. This was noticeable last night at the Murat when the star opened a three day return engagement in the Hutton comedy. One of the smallest houses of the year greeted Carrillo lasi night, but it was a most enthusiastic audience. And permit up- to lay stress on this point—Mr. Car rilio nd hi* players art.-cl the comedy with as much enthusiasm as if the house was packed. Do not forget that point because it means that Carrillo can be counted upon to give a careful and ‘'inecre perf rin a nee under all conditions. At this late date It Is not necessary :o repeat the story. It is sufficient to the cast. The big discovery last uight was Eleanor Williams, Just a slip of a

girt, who plays the role of Daisy, one of tho mannequins. The i irefully drawn i ork of Miss Williams is a delight to those who enjoy ••perfect" comedy acting. She bus what is known as a ‘fat" part an.l she adds to it by her brilliant work. Ethel Dwyer ns N'orah It 1 a k e, Lorn bardt's assistant, Is pleas lug to watch and

She knows bow to read her lines, and tits into the picture at all times. ltuth Rifkat y a* Phyllis Manning, a show girl, who accepts Lombardi s money and spurns k:s love, has a thankless role. 1 ut plays it in a convincing way.

Personally, I enjoyed the work of Ethel Wilson as Lida Moore, a show girl who goes wrong, reforms but keeps her automobiles, flat and Jewria. A tlno piece of character work. Miss Wilson. The remainder of the cast is satisfactory. "Lombardi, Ltd.” will give you value received for your money At the Murat today and Saturday. W. I) H. VEIL OF MYSTERY TO DESCEND UPON THE MURAT. A veil of mystery will surround the Murnt next week as “The Bat" will open an engagement there on next Tuesday night.

Mrs. Rinehart and Mr. Hopwood, in “The Bat” have written what is declared to be one of the “greatest mystery plays” of the decade. Its extraordinary success is beyond question. “The Bat” in the play is a super criminal, a man whose exploits have not only startled the country, but stood the detective bureaus upside down. He is charged with murder, robbery, arson and almost every conceivable crime in the annals of a police blotter of a great Metropolitan city. “The Bat” is so mystifying that yon suspect almost everybody, but the right one and at times you even suspect your neighbors in the audience and an occasion little whistle from one’s lips Is i necessary to keep from being afraid. Noticeable in “The Bat” is the manner 1 in which the situations dominate, far more than the individuals intrusted with the roles of the various characters. The riches! kind of humor is found in the slavery role and the role of the comic and affrighted maid lends a rich vein of laughter that eases the tension of drama, often in the most startling scenes. “The Bat" is not a play for the weak ■ hearted. In this play the public find more realism nnd less of the theatrical element ry attributes than anything ever seen ,n the American Continent in many a jnr To sum up the unusal flavor and charm of “The Bat" combine “The Thirteenth Chair." "Within the Law. ltger Hose” Gillette in “Sherlock Holmes" and other hair raisers and you will find that "The Bat" Is the model of them all. Doors creak, panels slide, bells ring, lights dart and candles go sputtering out at the most exasperating moments. Furniture mores of its own accord, a bloody hand reaches in through a broken window panel and so completely does the play dominate its audience that the in tors are completely forgotten, which proves that realism with a vengeance Is still being made possible, not only from the covers of a book, but from the vantage point of the footlights. -1- -1ON VIEW TODAY.

49 RAILROADS GIYENORDERS Interstate Commerce Commission Demands Automatic Control Devices. Special to Indiana Daily Times: and Philadelphia Public Ledger. 1 WASHINGTON, Ja.t. ih—Forty-nine railroads. Including the Pennsylvania, ! Philadelphia & Reading. West Jersey j & Seashore, Central of New Jersey, I Baltimore & Ohio, Lackawan ta, Lehigh Valley and Delaware & Hudson, have been ordered by the Interstate Comj merce Commission to install automatle | train control equipment on certain important stretches of their lines nor a equately protected against wrecks and derailments. | Tho train control devices are to be In operation by July 1, 1921, and the railroads are cited to show cause on March 15, next, why the finding of the commls ion shall not he carried out. The line artgiven until July 1. next, to file a com plete report with the commission of the plans for equipping their trains with the safety appliances. The order of the commission Is hissed on an exhaustive report of the automatic train control committee crealed by the railroad administration The appalling wreck record of the railroads and the enormous destruction of property resulting from railroad accidents is giveu b> the committee as its reason for recom--1 mending the installation of train control devices. "Our investigations have shown.” says the report, "that automatic train control long since has passes the experimental stage In fact, no safety devices such as the automatic coupler, the airbrake and the automatic block signal , were perfected to as high degree as I the automatic train control before they were either ordered installed or were adopted voluntarily.”—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

PENNSYLVANIA WOULD PROCEED ON ELEVATION Railroad Representatives Tell Board Company Is Ready. Willingness to proceed with track elevation, so far as contemplated at present, was expressed by representatives of the Pennsylvania railroad in a conference with Charles E. Coffin, president of the board of public works, and John L. Elliott. city civil engineer. It was nounced today. ™ City officials several days ago heard a rumor some of the railroads wers contemplating shutting down track elevation work because of lack of finances. The Pennsylvania has all Its work on the downtown elevation completed, except tug the finishing of some of Its own facilities, such as freight yards Plans have been ordered by the board of jvorks for the elevation of the Poni:*t'ivania and C. I A W. tracks from I'avidson street to State avenue, a distance of about 4.000 feet. Rrpresentai Ives of the C. I. & XV. who also attended the conference, as well as those of the Pennsylvania. said their roads are willing to go on with this part of the elevation project as rapidly as finances will permit. It was agreed the railroads should prepare plans and the city civil engineering department should prepare estimates and a resolution and that these be the subject of a conference to be beld later.
