VISITORS FROM UP-STATE GIVEN WARM GREETING Retailers Brought to Goods of Wholesaler, Reversing Old Order. C. OF C. ENTERTAINS The conventional way to do business is to send salesmen with samples to the retailers and sell them goods. It remained for a group of progressive Indianapolis wholesalers to bring the reMiler to the goods. Asa result, today ts open house day in a large number of Indianapolis business houses. Retailers from northern Indiana, attracted by the special inducements offered by the Indianapolis wholesalers with the cooperation of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce, flocked to Indianapolis yesterday afternoon and have spent today getting acquainted with the excellencies of this city as a place to buy, ATEND DINNER AND THEATER PARTY. The merchants were brought to Indianapolis by the Winona Interurban Railway Company late yesterday afternoon and taken directly from the Traction Terminal Station to the Hotel Lincoln where they were received. They then went to a dinner at the Chamber of Commerce and afterward attended a performance at B. F. Keith's theater. At the dinner last night they were received by a reception committee composed of representatives of the wholesale houses. Representatives of each type of business, both wholesale and retail, were grouped at separate tables and there was a general get-together party. The visitors were welcomed by Charles B. Coffin, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who impressed on them the fact that Indianapolis is not merely the property of the people of Indianapolis, but as tbe capital city of the State, is the property of all the State. CITIZENS OF STATE INTERESTED IN CAPITAL CITY. “There Is not a citizen of Indiana who riuts not a property interest in IndiannpEt," he said. “It is the duty of Indiana Citizens to 6pend their money in their home State.” In this Mr. Coffin voiced one of the purposes of bringing the retail merchants to Indianapolis, that of Inducing them to buy in Indianapolis rather than go outside the State for their merchandise. The welcome was responded to briefly by J. C. Schade of the Winona Interurban Railway Company and Julian Wetzel of the Keystone Press, spoke briefly. The visitors were delayed in arriving and for tals reason all of the speaking program could not te carried out. Johns B. Reynolds, general secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, acted as toastmaster. During all of their visit the retail merchants were impressed with the facts that Indianapolis is a great distributing center, has more than 250 wholesale houses, entertains nearly 20,000 visitors daily, has a population now of 326,762, that its jobbers have salesmen over half of the United States, that it is the economic center of America for distribution, that it is a wholesale market of importance, that it has seventeen railroads and thirteen interurbans, that it strives to be the world's most courteous city, that it has forty-two banking institutions, that It Is known for truth in advertising, and that it is a good town. Here is the list of wholesale house* that cooperated in the entertainment of the visitors: Central Rubber and Supply Company, W. J. Holliday & Cos., Van Camp Hardware and Iron Company, Bmerican National Bank, Indiana National Bank. Peoples State Bank, Mutual China Company, Keifer-Stewart Company, Mooney-Mueller-Ward Company, Havens & Geddes Company, Hibben, Hollweg & Cos., C. M. C.

FARMERS FILL HOTEL LOBBIES OF WASHINGTON Agricultural Conference Is Similar to County Fairground. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—There ia certainly a bucolic atmosphere in Washington this week of the National Agricultural Conference. The lobbies of the Willard, where It holds forth, are as full of farmer folk as an lowa county fairground. The talk and gossip are exclusively of the soli. Yet, as President Harding today was heard to remark, it is not a conference exclusively of tillers of the land. It contains bankers, manufacturers, merchants, packers, lawyers, shippers—men and women of all the branches that in one way or another are associated, directly or Indirectly, with agriculture. To one of his callers at the White House who Is attending the conference the President observed there Is a new kind of farmer In the United States. The traditional notion of a hayseed with unkempt whiskers, Mr. Harding remarked, is no longer the type. The President added, speaking of tho demand for a farmer on the Federal reserve board, that there Is one there already—he evidently refers to Charles S. Hamlin of Massachusetts. “And the best farmer I ever knew In my home county In Ohio,’ affirmed Mr. Harding, “is now comptroller of the currency.'’ William Jennings Bryan certainly canght the farmer’s fancy with his Impromptu speech at the agricultural conference Monday. Everybody was talking about It. He was the Bryan of the cross-of-gold and crown-of-thorns days and, if it had been a convention Instead of a conference he would almost have stampeded it —so many participants avow. Washington thinks it was the peerless one's public bid to be sent to the Senate from Florida as the farmers’ acknowledged spokesman. His friends will tell you that the Bryan of these retrospective days Is conscious of his Incapacity as an executive, and longs to end his career in the national forum where policies are molded and statutes enacted. It is natural at such a rustic movement that Washington should be speculating as to the meaning of the recent acquirement by Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, of three important farm weeklies in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan. It augments the Capper string of papers—dallies, weeklies and monthlies—to nearly a score and extends the sphere of influence o fthe Kansas “farmblocster” so rthe first time info “the enemy'! country”—Middle East and East. Agricultural conference chatter has It that Senator Capper aspires to outrival Senator Kenyon of lowa, as the “farm bloc’s" favorite eon in the 1024 or 1928 presidential campaign. One of the Sunflower State’s own humorists Is guilty o* the Jest that Capper's ambition Is to be “our first mail-order president.”—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

SAFETY BOARD TO STOP TRAFFIC IN STAND SITES Old Custom Permitting Sale of Leases Believed Illegal. Insisting that the traffic in stand sites at the city market must be stopped, the board of public safety at the regular meeting Tuesday afternoon Instructed Its attorney. William T. Bailey, to search the municipal code for ordinances governing the market which will back up the board in its stand. The board has been informed that stand site leases have been sold for as high as 53,000. The custom for twenty years has been for the standholders to lease the same site year after year until they have become more or less of a fixture at their particular location. Then when they decide to sell out they transfer their lease to the person who pays them the most for their fixtures, stock and location. The board believes, however, that the standholder has absolutely no title to the location. He merely rents its from the city from year to year and his claim upon it becomes absolutely void when he is absent from it for ten consecutive market days. CHANGE CREATES MANY TANGLES. Adoption of the rule prohibiting sale of leases at the meeting of the board a week ago ha* resulted In a number of embarrasing tangles for some standholders. One woman told the board that she has purchased a stand site late in the fall, paying in cash, SI,OOO for the location and SBOO for the fixtures. This was under the Jewett board of safety which did not prohibit the practice. The Btandholder from whom she purchased the place, however, did not have the lease transferred to her name, she said. She asked the board what ahe was going to do. The board members said they intended to hold to their rule of not sanctioning the sale of stand sites by standholders because the sites belong to the city, but they referred the woman's problem to Mr. Bailey. It was pointed out that most of tbe standholders in the market are dne to suffer considerable financial loss because of the prohibition of sale of leases, since practically all of them bought their sites from their predecessors. The board expressed the feeling, however, that this Is the funeral of the standholders since their predecessors had no right whatever to take money from them for the stands. PURCHASERS NEVER EXAMINED TITLES. Board Member Edward G. Sourbler remarked: “They wouldn't buy a piece of ground without investigating the title, why didn't they look Into the title of the stand sites before paying their money?" When it was sugesred that standholders could ret around the prohibition of site sales by refusing to give up their places to purchasers until the purchaser paid them enough excess for their fixtures and stock to cover what the holder had paid for the location, Mayor Shank remarked that this could be effectively blocked by the adoption of a rule by the board prohibiting standholders from charging more for their fixtures and stock than a committee of disinterested appraisers, appointed by the board, decide they are worth. BUILDING COMMISSIONER CHOSEN. The board appointed Franele F. Hamilton commissioner of buildings. His salary Is $3,000 per year. Permission was given for the use of the ground in the rear of fire headqnarters at Alabama and New York streets as a public woodlot. Patrolmen Jesse M. Strelt, Fred Gunsolus, Joshua Spears and Fireman Riley White were retired on the pension fund. 1 Ireman I'. Q.

CITY PRISON TO BE MADE NICER PLACE TO LIVE Judge Wilmeth Declares That Prisoners Must Have Better Treatment . A general house-cleaning is taking place at police headquarters this week. Brass rails are being polished. The stairs are being scrubbed with a carbolic mixture and woodwork is being scraped. The accumulation of years of dirt, grime and filth Is disappearing under the vigorous application of brush and broom in all places from the office of the city, Judge and the chief of police to the cell rooms and corridors. Even the old bell, which sounds the alarm of fire, Is polished. An official of last year "wouldn’t know the old place.” An Investigation showed Delbert O. Mllmeth, city Judge, and Herman F. Rikboff, police chief, working in conjunction with the Janitorial staff of seven negroes, had inaugurated a clean-up campaign for the police headoquarters building at Alabama and Pearl streets. Judge Wilmeth said: “I've been watching the conditions in the city prison. It is a damnable shame the way tho prisoners have to live. The walls are a dirty, somber black and gray. The effect on the men Is bad. I’m going to see to It that the windows are cleaned, at least I shall attempt to hare the walls painted a bright, cheerful color. I want the windows of my office clean. When they need it they are cleaned. I am going to see that the same is true of the windows in the city prison.” The windows of the city prison were washed the other day for the first time In years. Veteran attaches of the city Prison say they cannot remember the occasion of the last washing. Two weeks ago the windows were so filthy scarcely any light could penetrate them. There were practically no lights in the prison. The dank, prison smell, all-pervading, could be detected over ail the building. Today the windows are washed and lights are kept burning constantly. Tho prison cells, floors and lavatories have been thoroughly scrubbed and disinfected. Strong chemicals have been nsed to exterminate the vermin which always flourish in a place where all kinds of man are confined. A nsw system has been inaugurated for checking the Janitorial work. Under the last administration the Janitors frequently would gather In their room and loaf. This Is Impossible with the installation of Chief RlkhofTs check-np plan. Under It the Janitor must make out a report of time spent the same as a patrolman on other police officer. The head Janitor, Otis Fisher, then makes a written report to the chief. In this report, ho details the tasks done, the assignments of the day, and other report*. Vonnegut Re-elected Better Business Head Franklin Vonnegut was re-elected president, Robert O.

SHUMAKER WILL NOT AID FIGHT ON PROHIBITION Head of Indiana Anti-Saloon League Declines Wet Invitation. Dr. B. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, will not be a member of a committee to Invite prominent Indianapolis citizens to become members of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, he declared today in a letter to Smiley N. Chambers, who Invited him to Join such a committee. In his letter Dr. Shumaker said the organization against the prohibition amendment proposes to have the Volstead act repealed, to permit every State to pass its own enforcement act, to remove the prohibition amendment from the constitution. WOULD UNDO WORK OF DRI'S. / “In other words,” he said, "yon propose through this association to undo, step by step, in reverse order, what the Anti-Saloon League has accomplished In the battle against the liquor traffic in this country, and you Invite me to help you do it.” He said the association while professing to favor enforcement of law is undermining respect for the law. ASKS IF KICKLESS DRINK IS DESIRED. “What your association is now proposing to do, In spite of the Eighteenth Amendment which stands In the way of doiDg so, and in spite of the Volstead Law, duly enacted by the Congress of the United States, is to legalize the manufacture and sale of a beverage of greater alcoholic content than one-half of 1 per cent by volume,” the letter says. “Why do you and your friends want to do this?” “Do you mean to say that 5 per cent beer, for example, or 12 per cent wine are not Intoxicating, and that it is a nonintoxicating beverage that you desire to hav* manufactured and sold through soda fountains, restaurants, candy kitchens, grocery stores, and to have placed as domestic saloons in millions of homes in this country? If nonlntoxlcatlng beverages are what you want, then why not be content with the loss than one-half of I per cent alcohol, since there are both beer and wine now being manufactured and on the market which can be gotten by ell desiring ho same, which have the identical taste that beer and wine In the past have had, hut do not have the alcohol In them. If you wnnt beverages manufactured and sold containing a larger per ceutage of alcohol than already permitted by law, then, by this very admission, you confess what you are working for Is the legalization,—if such a thing could bo done In spite of the Eighteenth Amendment—of a beverage that has a kick in It, or which, in other words, is intoxicating."
