SEES RESULTS IN DRIVE ON BOOTLEGGERS Lesh Says Complaints Less Since Conference of Prosecutors. Prosecuting attorneys of the State are ■waging a vigorous drive against the bootleggers and other criminals as a result of the conference of prosecuting attorneys and sheriffs held Jan. 11, U. S. Lesh, attorney general, said today. The conference, which was called on the recommendation of United States Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, has gone a long way in preventing crime, the Attorney Genera! said. According to the attorney general, since the conference was held crime has decreased 40 per cent. NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LESS. Fewer complaints are being received by the attorney general's office that officers are refusing to make arrests where B violation of the law is being made. Prior to the conference Mr. Lesh said he was receiving from five to six complaints a day. Since the conference he said he has received only one complaint which he forwarded to the sheriff of the county and an arrest was made immediately. Investigators of the attorney general’s office have been investigating a number of cases in the past few weeks, and Mr. Lesh said he expects some arrests to be made in the near future. A few days ago, after an investigation, the investigators were about to make a raid when the person to be arrested disappeared. It was learned, however, that he moved to s city only a short distance away and bis movements are being watched. After reading a letter In the Times some weeks ago, about a man who was making "moonshine” because he was out ©f a job, Mr. Lesh said that he wished the man would come to him, and if he could qualify for the job, he would do everything in his power to help him. The only question, Mr. Lesh said, was how many would come to him and apply for the place under these circumstances. PREPARES STANDARD SEARCH WARRANT. Some judges in the State, Mr. Lesh said, are holding that a still, unless it Is in operation when taken from a house cannot be used as evidence. The attorney general Is preparing a form letter citing a number of cases in which the Supreme Court has held that a still, regardless of whether or not It is in operation, can be used as evidence in the prosecution of the defendant. A standard search warrant is being prepared by the attorney general and will be sent to all chiefs of police and sheriffs in the near future, Mr. Lesh said. In many cases various kinds of search warrants are being used and in some cases, when produced in court, are found illegal, and the case against the defendant is dismissed. For this reason he said the one form of se&ch warrant is being sent to the sheriffs and police chiefs.

BOND ISSUE FOR TWO NEW UNITS Health Board Orders Resolution on City Hospital. / Resolutions authorizing a bond issue of $425 ,000 with which to build two new units at the city hospital and repair steel work in some of the older buildings were ordered prepared by the board of public health at a meeting last night. The units are being built to replace one unit ordered razed by the State fire marshal end to relieve congestion. Dr. Richard A. Poole, superintendent of the hospital, was ordered to carry out orders f the fire marshal regarding the installation of fire fighting equipment. Dr. Beit jam in F. Hatfield was named district physician at the city dispensary. A contract has been signed with the Indiana University School of Medicine to continue work at the city dispensary. Dr. W. H. Long, who held the position for eight years, but was relieved the first of this year, was reappointed contagious disease physician after the resignation of Dr. J. J. Briggs was accepted. Inspector L. C Hollingsworth's resignation was accepted. SOVIET RUSSIA IS LABOR POWER Trotski Tells Public How His Country Stands. BERLIN, Jan. 26.—-Although Soviet Russia is anxious to mingle with the allied powers in the economic conference at Genoa, she is still the enemy of bourgeoise Europe, according to a speech by Leon Trotski, Russian commissar for war, which was printed here today. "Russia is the only labor power in the world,” said Trotski. the Soviet republic and bourgeoise Europe are like two deadly enemies who enter the same compartment of a railway train. Both are governed by one idea, namely that only one of them can survive the trip. Each is ready to throw the other from the window. Half an hour passes. Both are still alive. Perhaps they must travel together another half an hour. Therefore they might as well make themselves comfortable, but they will remain deadly enemies just the same.” Miss Eleanor Barker to Aid Senator New Miss Eleanor I*. Barker will he associated with the campaign of Senator Harry S. New for the Republican nomination for the Senate, according to an announcement from New headquarters. Miss Barker’s appointment was brought about by the death of Mrs. Hence Orme, who had charge of the organization of •women in the State in behalf of Senator New. Miss Barker was active in the campaign of Thomas C. Howe for the Republican nomination for mayor of Indianapolis and was active in the Jewett campaign in 1917.

Visions City Playground for Winter and Summer ‘Ad’ Club Manager Has Plan to Make City Famous as All-Year-Round Resort .

Indianapolis, the city of the lake. Unexcelled boating, bathing and fishing. In the winter skating facilities sufficient to take care of the entire city. Bounds good, doesn’t it? There are many persons in Indianapolis who believe such a thing is well within the realm of possibility and that it can be obtained without a great deal of expense or difficulty. Some time ago Edward Hunter, business manager of the Advertising Club of Indianapolis, advanced such an idea. He wrote letters to a large number of Indianapolis business men and received their hearty support. Then ideas which were at variance with those of Mr. Hunter and his friends were put forth and the discussion was dropped. Now it is being revived. RIVERSIDE PARK SUGGESTED. The idea is, briefly, this: Just north of Riverside Park there are many acres of lowlands. These lands are owned by the city and are now occupied by a nursery and some of them are waste. North of the park there is a narrow place in the river. Across this narrow place could be thrown a low dam, just high enough to cause the water to back up sufficiently to cover a part of these lowlnnds, forming a lake. This lake could be plentifully supplied with fish, boating, bathing and camping facilities could be Installed, and Indianapolis could become unrivaled as a summer resort. The population would have a place to cool off in the summer and to skate in the winter. Supervised bathing places would eliminate swimming in dangerous places and the consequent annual toll of lives. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN. This is the way it was described in a copy of Adscript, the official magazine of the Advertising Club: "Around our lake (when we get it) will be green lawns dotted with daffodils and with honeysuckle. Oak trees and weeping willows will afford shade and wide, green benches will Invite rest. Against the blue of the summer s"ky, tall sycamores will be silhouetted and will lend their bases to childish games of ‘hide and seek.’ "All day long /the laughter of little children will and re-echo around the shores of the lake. To this haven of fishermen, wild ducks will come In summer and rise in alarm as the lazy swishswish of canoe paddles mingle with, the soft strains of music. “In the winter young Indianapolis will skate over the frozen surface of the lake and ice sail boats will dart here and there. “A wonderful lake placed near the heart of a wonderful city—lndianapolis. Can you picture this? Can you realize what this would mean to this ‘greatest inland city?’ ” A number of “proofs” of this fanciful picture were struck and mailed to Indianapolis business men with brief explanations of the Idea. Letters Immediately began coming In approving the idea. Here is what some of them said: OPINIONS OF PROMINENT CITIZENS. Dick Miller, President of the City Trust Company— l doubt whether there Is nn inland city in the world so favorably situated to bring about this situation as the dty of Indianapolis. You are quite right that Indianapolis needs this thing more than anything else. As one business man I would certainly give it my hearty support. Charles E. Coffin, President of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce—l certainly favor your scheme for a lake. The Rev. Frank S. C. Wicks, Pastor of All Souls' Unitarian Church—l will do all I can to make your dream come true. Henry F. Campbell—Tee lake would be a wonderful addition to Indianapolis and I am hopeful that at some time at no distant future we can see this project launched and successfully concluded. James W. Lilly—l favor the proposition. E. U. Graff, Superintendent of the Indianapolis Schools—A splendid idea, Clarence E. Crippin—A body of water

close to the city would be of inestimable value to Indianapolis. Real estate adjacent to the city is mounting in value and in consequence it would seem advisable that the acquisition of a suitable tract of ground should not be unnecessarily delayed. Frederic H. Ayres—l certainly feel that if It is practical for such a project to be put through it would be a great asset to the city. A. G. Ruddell, President of the Central Rubber and Supply Company—l am In favor of this proposition. Dr. Joseph E. Kernel—l think so well of this proposition that recently I bought a farm west of here with a small lake on it and am building nine cottages for my employes. Franklin Vonnegut—l am positively very much in favor of such an attraction for Indianapolis. Tbeso are just a few of the comments received when a lake for Indianapolis was proposed. A number of letters contained suggestions other than that of a dam Just north of Riverside park, some suggesting that the lake be farther north. OTHER CITIES HAVE ARTIFICIAL LAKES. Many other cities have constructed artificial lakes, some of them large arid others very small. A number of small lakes have been constructed at Dallas, Texas. Hugh E. Prather writes from that city: “The first requisite for the construction of one of those small lakes is to have everlasting water, as under no clrcumstancs would I recommend the building of a small lake unless this was the case. You must be assured that there Is sufficient run-off at all times coining down stream to cause the body of water to flow constantly away over the dam, otherwise the water will be come stagnant and instead of being a beauty spot will be a great nuisance, because it is a splendid place for the breeding of mosquitos. We have overcome this trouble by see Ing that all water courses are well stocked with fish, which ’almost entirely eliminates the mosquito nuisance. "Most of the lakes are twelve to sixteen feet In depth, being contained by concrete dams of that height solidly Implanted In a rock bed of the creek Itself and tied into rock banks on either side." If Dallas can hare lakes, Indianapolis certainly should have at least one, persons in favor of the project declare. They point out that Indianapolis has a much better water supply than Dallas. Os cr/urse, this lake scheme is “all talk,” just at present, but there are a lot of people talking mighty seriously about it.

GILLETT ADMITS PARTY FAILURE IN LETTER HOME Speaker of House Refuses to Stand on Record of Congress. By WALLACE BERESFORD. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—Speaker Gillctt appears to have at last given up the belief that the Republican party can produce prosperity by the mere fact of its being in power. He has written a dismal wall to his constituents up at Springfield, Mass. After promising them anew Federal building, which appears to have been promised for some years, he uses these truthful, but gloomy sentences : “1 receive many expressions of disappointment with the work of Congress. This is quite natural. Some of our legislation, notably the tax bill, has excited great disapproval. I do not pretend that I have supported all that we have done. On the contrary, some ojj, the measures have passed against my energetic opposition. The industrial depression intensifies the criticism of Congress. Men suffering from Idleness or ruin look to us to save them; nothing can bring prosjerity again except selfdenying economy and incessant, productive work.” With those frank admissions going over the country In cold type from the man who heads the present Congress, it Is difficult to see how the Republicans can ask for re-eiectlon next fall at the hands of those "suffering from Idleness or ruin,” which the Speaker admits his party Is helpless to relieve. While Senator Tenrose carefully provided in his will that there should be no inventory or accounting made of his estate, he overlooked an Item of $226, In cash which he had In a safe deposit box in Washington, partly In ten-thou-sand-dollar bills—merely loose change saved from bis salary Every one recalls that at the time of the Chicago convention of 1920 he was very 111. Now his physician comes forward and tells how the big boss was unconscious for hours, then came to himself and asked what was going on at the convention. Upon his secretary Informing him that the convention was deadlocked, he replied: “Tell ’em to throw It to Harding.” And yet there are millions of patriotic men and women who grew up In the Republican party, some of whom were for General Wood, some for Lowden or Senator Johnson, who have fondly almaglned that th. y were having something to do with the nomination of a candidate when they went to the primaries and cast their ballots. Under the boss ridden party of today they have no more to do w'th selecting the

candidate than If they lived in New Guinea. Penrose, big boss of the lesser bosses, just told them what to do, and he, In turn, was told what was wanted by the Mellon-Dupont outfit. Once in a while the people still rise up In their might and do something, proving that they still have the power—for instance, the dry laws —but power unused Is like the hoe that rusts in the shed—it produces i.o crop. The Republicans are having trouble raising campaign funds. The bnslDess man who has no money to put into his own business is a poor subject for the campaign solicitor. There Is little relief from the necessarily high war taxes, which the Republicans all voted for, but which they are unable, for some reason, to lessen appreciably. Freight rates remain very high ana trade languishes, while Congress fritters away Its time trying to enact an antl-lynch-lng bill to coddle the negro vote, though the best constitutional lawyers on the Republican side admit that the Supreme Court will make short work of the law when it finally gets to them, for It Is absolutely subversive of that provision of the organic law which gives the police powers to the States. The men who have furnished campaign funds in the past are getting poor return for their money and are sitting as Judges of a Congress that satisfies nobody. Its failures cannot be hidden, for they are visible In stunted industry, low prices for farm
