DENY VENDERS USE OF SOUTH COURTJARD Commissioners, After Conference, Announce New Plans. No more will the vegetable, fruit and other venders be allowed to use the south half of the courthouse yard, including any of the space between the east and west entrances tp the courthouse and the entire section fronting on East Washington street. This announcement was made today by Carlin H. Shank, chairman of the county commisioners, following a conference between Commissioners Shank and Huffman and Samuel Mueller and Clarence Baker representing the East Washington Street Merchants' Association. t For some time, according to Mr. Mueller, the East Washington street merchants have been endeavoring to keep this section clean and it is impossible to do this with stalls and stands being allowed along the street. During the discussion the two merchants also brought up the proposal that East Washington streqt merchants purchase the south half of the square on which the courthouse now stands and informed the commissioners that the merchants were willing to pay Approximately $1,750,000 in order to place new stores along that side of East Washington street. They want the county to b'uild anew courthouse on the north half of the property using the money realized from the sale of the south half for that purpose. This has been broached to the commissioners before, but nothing definite has been proposed. Mr. Mueller stated that a resolution had been prepared for presentation to the county council at its meeting Friday. “I wish someone would come along and make some kind of a definite proposition on this matter,” said Mr. Shank. “It is all talk up to this time aud we want action. We cannot consider anything until we get something tangible with which to begin our considerations.”

DIRECTOR OF DRY FORCES GIVES REVIEW (Continued From Page One.) the talk of increased liquor drinking among young persons and in the upper strata of society, but he says it is hardly more than a fad and a craze of temporary nature and will not assume the proportions of an intrenched custom. "Despite all the mass of law violations Director Haynes insisted that the prohibition law had accomplished an unlimited amount of good, which will become recognized more and more as time goes on. In part he said: , "Do not misunderstand me my friends. I do not classify these apathetic and lethargic citizens and officials with the lawless, but I cannot disassociate them from my problem of law enforcement,” Mr. Haynes said. "I know tliai there is no form of lawlessness, no matter how deeply intrenched, financially, politically, or socially, that can stand in oqr country, against the awakened public conscience ; that there is no mobilized power on this continent since. Appomattox tliar dares attempt to nullify mr laws or tting aside allegiance to our Constitution or our American Government when once our American spirit is aroused to the source of danger. SMUGGLING AND BREWERY PROBLEMS. "While it Is true that we also have our smuggling problems, we have our brewery problems, our warehouse problems, our distillery problems, yet in my judgment the most serious task we have right now is to arouse this apathetic citizen and to disillusion a lot of perfectly good people, who have been inoculated with a great mass of popular misconception and misinformation. In other words, they have been accepting, in toto, the clever, wet. unpatriotic, false propaganda that has as its object the delusion of the American people into the belief that the prohibition law is a failure; that it is —that it was 'slipped over' on them —that it is not being enforced, and that it cannot be enforced. And today, there are in actual existence, my friends, thirty paid organizations striving night and day not only to accomplish the impossible feat of causing the repeal of the eighteen amendment, but striving to accomplish these things that I have been telling you about—to instill into the minds of Americans these false doctrines —striving to accomplish tile amendment's nullification, trying to stabilize a condition of nullification, and to cause the American people to lower their standard of regard for the salacity and majesty of law. "A year ago a large proportion of the so-called best citizens of many of our cities were so violently prejudiced that they were In fact accessories to crime. Today the best citizenship, even in these great cities, is coming to recognize that any law must be enforced and that any policy adopted by the American nation is entitled to a fair trial on Its merits. “All that prohibition law enforcement needs is a fair chance and it is beginning to get it. “Observance of the law more easily becomes a custom than the breaking of the law, HOW LONG LAWLESSNESS LASTS. “Lawlessness in any community will last just as lopg as the community will stand for it. The saloon brought on its own doom, so will bootlegging and other flagrant violations. “No decent American community long tolerates a nuisance. A definite nuisance soon spells its own doom. “The violators of the prohibition lawin America today may largely be divided into the classes: the faddist drinkers, which is a temporary class and those who have an appetite established through years of Indulgence. Most of the latter class may be expected to UHe liquor as long as they live, either through supplies of liquor acquired before the prohibition law became effective or through Illegal means. “One authority announced some weeks ago that it was estimated that the prohibition law today was being 04 per cent enforced. If that be true it does not require any prophet to know that in a comparatively short time the law will be as successfully enforced as any other law on the statute books. “The talk that one hears of drinking among young people and in society, etc., of home brewing and home distilling, has no doubt some basis of truth, but if this deplorable condition does exist to some extent it must be regarded as a national fad and craze, and not a permanently intrenched custom. It is pathetic thing—even if only a fad—to hear of women who go about their homes shaking a cocktail mixer, thereby setting a reprehensible example to their households; as it is to hear of the business, professional or the club man w T ho technically, and often unthoughtedly violates the law, forgetful of the fact that Jhe example he is sotting is in reality dangerous to the very foundation of Government itself. As for the home manufacturers, it is reported that results secured are so much lacking in satisfaction that in most cases they are already saying: ‘Never again.’ “Everything that is worth while in America rests lipou the basis of law and order. Your family, your property, your home, your bonds, your business, your bank, your peace of mind, our entire security, all depend upon the law- for protection. One can not nullify, one can not ridicule and oppose the enforcement of the prohibition law without striking directly at the safety of his wife, his children, and the stability of ail his property interests. Prohibition is a part of the basic law of the United States and to be gotten out of the fouridaion of which it is a part, without breaking the whole structure, it would have to be removed by the due processes of repeal. Only one safeguard stands between governmental security and anarchy—the Constitution and the law. • The fact remains that, in spite of every hindrance, the prohibition law has produced and is producing enormous benefits, even where least successfully enforced. It has proven much to lie preferred to the old system of license tinder which not only was the appetite of the people served, but tempted bv every device of advertising, display‘and trade promotion.” Director Haynes praised the work of Bert Morgan, prohibition director for In-

In Chile President Alisandr! is a leader in the movement. In Brazil the question is being approached from the standpoint or its effect on the health of the nation. If we in the United States only realized that we are being looked upon as an experimental station for the remainder of the world as far as prohibition is concerned, I think we would realize even more than we do the importance of makink it succeed here. Turning to the situation in this country. she said : “I eblieve we are too much inclined tod criticize our public officials when they do not act as we would have them, and not as thonghful ns we shouKf be to see that they receive praise and credit when they do what is right. Aiso we should" keep in mind that violation of the law makes ‘news’ for the press and of course receives more space than does law observance. This makes it appear often as if the nation as a whole is busily engaged in violating the prohibition law when such is not the case by a wide margin.” Miss Gordon said President Obregon of Mexico has expressed himself as favorable to prohibition and that organization work is under way in that country. ED JACKSON GIVES ADDRESS. At the opening session of the convention today, Ed Jackson, secretary of State, dellevered an address of welcome on behalf of Governor Warren T.

SHANK WILL GO WITH RAIL MEN TO COMMISSION (Continued From Page One ) Indiana. There are 1,232 stockholders altogether. This, the traction men said, refutes the ancient bogey that Eastern capital is trying to milk Indianapolis people. < One of Mr. Todd's tables showed tingross earnings of the company In 1021 were $.>.2.43,327.16. Operating expenses were $3,026,443.51. leaving net earnings of sl,27U..'vS;j 60. From this thfre had to be deducted $-137,052.88 for taxes and $645,067 for fixed charges, P-aving a balance of only $187,882.83 to meet $130,000 fur sinking funds and $300,600 dividends due on $5,0(0.000 worth of preferred stock. The company failed to meet these later obligations by $242,137.17. If the company’s :nx valuation of $lB,000,000 is lo be considered as the valuation upon which it should earn the 7 per cent which the public service commission says is a fair return and 3 per cent for depreciation the net revenue ' should lie $1.(500,000. But the net earnings. as detailed above were $.832,930.77. ! leaving what tie- company considers as a shortage in “reasonable allowance for net earnings and depreciation” of $737,009.23. Mr. Todd said the company is meeting operating cost-- ! not maintenance. The three mlh.ons in Improvements which should be made were detailed by Mr. Todd with six automatic substations heading the list. With the power plant in its present condition Indianapolis may be without street crt service from three to six weeks ally time, the president said. The substations would cost $750,000 One hundred new cars, costing $1,000.0 , )0 are needed; car shop $867,000: three car barns. $410,000; special work, $21,000 and five niTies of track ex tensions. $205,000. making a t-■. al of $3.51.”.000 in Immediately needed improvements. This does not lucude the work on right of way which tfie city civil engineering department says must be done. This would entail an additional cost of $1,500,575. Mr. Todd estimated. The company’s data was referred to tlie city civil engineer. Another conference wiil be held as soon as the administration has had time to digest the figures and formulate its final attitude toward the company’s request that the city move with it in whatever steps are taken toward relief.

BLAST WRECKS ROOMINGHOUSE Explosion in Baltimore Is Felt for Several Blocks. BALTIMORE, Feb. 8. —A mysterious explosion today wrecked a three-story building at 704 South Broadway, occupied as a lunchroom and rooming house, and badly damaged surrounding property. Firemen extinguished a fire that followed the explosion. Two men, believed to have been in the building at the time of the blast, have not beeu found and poliee have begun a search. The explosion was felt for several blocks. Pieces of wreckage were hurled across the s.reet. Many windows in the neibhborhood ware shattered. A man, his wife and their three children in a nearby dwelling and a policeman who went to their rescue were Showered by broken glass. • GRILL NEW MAN IN FILM MURDER (Continued From Page One.)

murder mystery today was centered on unearthing hitherto veiled secrets in the life of the slain director and women widely known in the film World, it was understood there was still great activity at police headquarters regarding the search for Edward F. Sands, former secretary-valet of the victim. Reports were current that officers detailed to investigate the Sands angle of the mystery made progress during the night by developing clews tending to show that the missing man may have had business relations with two and possibly three women of the cinema world. No hint was given to newspaper men what these relations were. GRAND JIBY SIFT IN PROSPECT. It was said officials of the district attorney’s office are taking an active interest In the investigation. This was regarded as indicating an early grand Jury investigation of the case, together with possibly a direct charge against Sands, by the district attorney. A soiled handkerchief, bearing the initial “S” was found near Taylor's body when it was picked up last Thursday morning, according to a statement from detectives. Police believe the handkerchief was dropped by the murderer, either as the fata! shot was fired or during the assassin's hasty exit from the house. Anew mystifying fact was thrown into tiie case when detectives reported that the letters written by Mabel Normand to Taylor had been returned to tin- actress after being missing for several days Report was made to the police the day after the director’s body was found that a bundle of letters, penned to the murdered man by the popular star had disappeared mysteriously from the Taylor home. FEARS ENDEARING TERMS DILI, BE MISCONSTRUED. While Miss Normand protested to officers that there was nothing of importance in the missives, the police were eager to obtain possession of the missing letters and to solve the mystery of their disappearance from the home of the mur dered man. The actress stated that she desired them only because of certain endearing terms contained in them which she feared might be misconstrued in the light "f developments In the sensational murder. At the Normand residence denial was made by representatives of the actress that the letters bad been returned The actress was still reported prostrated fol- , lowing her collapse yesterday following the intense excitement that ensued at the funeral of the film man. Officers are at work to substantiate the report that the letters were returned and added that a thorough probe will be made to learn who had taken the mlsaives from Taylor's home. Wh'le investigators report that certain Interests In the motion picture colony are bringing heavy pressure to bear in an attempt to throttle a thorough investigation of the case, other factions are assisting the authorities in every way possible to run down the murderer, regardless "f the prominent personages In the einema world who may be dragged into the limelight by what is developed. The mystery of the case had been Increased by word that comes into head quarters from practically every operative on the case that elenrly defined efforts to “cover up" are being encountered In many,.quarters. The time at whleh Taylor "weTs" murderod*vas more definitely fixed wli ii detectives closely interrogated Howard Fellows, the siain r,..in's chauffeur, who told officials he J ad called his employer's home by telephone at 7:55 p. m. the night of the murder and received no response. Fellows said ho then drove to the Alvarado street bungalow, arriving at. 8:16 He said he rang the doorbell several times, but received uo reply, despile the fact that he could see a light burning inside. The chauffeur said ho assumed that Taylor had a visitor and did not wish to he disturbed. He told officers he felt confident that he was the man Mrs. Douglas Mao Lean, wife of the screen no tor, who occupies the bungalow- adjoining the Taylor home, said she saw leaving tiie director’s house the night of the murder. “After calling tjie house with no response,” Fellows said to the police, “1 drove directly to Mr. Taylor’s. I was surprised to see a light buritig inside, after I had been unable to reach Taylor by telephone. "It was about 8:15 when 1 arrived. I rang the doorbell three or four times 1 decided he must have someone with him and went away to put up the car. "I have no doubt I am the man Mrs. Mae Lean saw leaving the Taylor homo.* 1 did not notice anything that aroused my suspicions. 1 saw no cars or persons .u the immediate vicinity.” FIX TIME SLAYER ENTERED HOME. Miss Normand. who was with Taylor shortly before he was shot, if the time of the shooting as fixed by police is correct, told officers she left tiie house between 7:30 and 7:15. She stated that (lie

Falls 15 Feet, Loses 12 Years of Memory ST. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 8— Prestbn Crawford, 50, Injured in a fifteenfoot fall down a flight of stairs printing establishment where he was employed, lost twelve years of memory today. He was unable to recognize his wife and two children when they visited him at a hospital. Crawford asked hospital attadbes to call up his first wife, Marie, who died twelve years igo. His case baffled doctors. Crawford was a baptist minister in Springfield, 111.., until two years ago.

director walked with her to tne car, leaving his front door open, as was his cus tom. Wliiie the two were standing at the ourb, Taylor’s colored servant, Henry Peavey, concluded liis work In the house and left, walking past the couple at the car. At this moment, the police believe, the Taylor home was unoccupied. The door had been left open and the slayer slipped inside to a place of hiding. The police believe the > slaying was coldly premeditated and that the director was shot down without a chance to defend himself. ASSASSIN HIKED OR INSPIRED BY REVENGE. This, officers say, substantiates a theory that the crime was committed by a hired assassin or a person inspired by a spirit of revenge. . Detectives are of the opinion that If a burglar or thief had fired the fatal shot he would have seized valuable jewelry or taken the S7B found in Taylor's pockets. The new theory is that the person who desirqd to have Taylor slain remembered the oil! enmity between the director and his valet and used this as well as money to secure ills death. Taylor is believed to have had many enemies as well as friends, in the rao tion picture colony. These enemies were men as well as women and some of the enmities sprang from tiie numerous love affairs he Is understood to have had. One of these employed Sands to do the killing, according to the police theory, and Sands stood In the rear of Taylor's bungalow, smoking many cigarettes while waiting for an opportunity to enter the house. This opportunity came when Tayior left the house and strolled to the street with Miss Normand. Miss Normand is under the care of specialists and is on the verge of a nervous collapse. She fainted over Taylor’s caskei at his funeral services aud left the church in a hysterical condition. Miss Normand entered the church at tired in deep mourning with a heavy veL over her fare. Two women Trends supported her. In a vestibule stood the huge bronze casket. Miss Normand stood for u momentylooklng at the dead man's face. Then she moaned and tiled to pull away from her friends toq get nearer t ofhe casket. As they supported her she fainted. Even tten, however, she did not leave the church, but remained during the services while liars streamed down her cheeks. After tho ritual she hnd to be lifted to her feet and assisted from tho church almost In a state of collapse. NEW AUTOMOBILE DESCRIBED BY ACE Uickenbacker Tells Press Men About Car.

HUSBAND STILL HEAD OF FAMILY The husband is still the head of the family in Indianapolis, at least when It comes to operating a blind tiger or having liquor in large quantities in the house. This was the opinion of Judge Frank S. Roby In Criminal Court today as he disposed of the appeal of George Chappci from a finding of guilty in the city court. Judge Roby gave Chappell a sentence of sixty days at the Indiana State Farm and a fine of $2Ol and costs. Sentence wns withheld until Friday in order to give counsel for Chappel an opportunity to decide as to whether he would appeal. Chappel was tried in city court and found guilty, but appealed to Criminal Court and then asked for a change of venue from Judge James A. Collins. Chappell alleged, and sought to prove by witnesses, that he knew nothing of the presence of the fifteen gallons of “white mule” and sixty-two quarts of home-brewed bee: found at his home by officers. He testified that he was away from home when his wife rented the room in which the whisky was found to a stranger and knew nothing about the matter until the officers made the raid.

AMERICANS TO SEE CORONAT* JN Cardinal O’Connell Besieged for Tickets to Inauguration of Pope Piux XI. ROME, Feb. B.—Americans in Rome today are besieging Cardinal O'Connell for tickets of admission to the coronation of Pope Pius XI. % Cardinal O’Connell yesterday held a re- ' ception at the American College, dividing his time between his Vatican duties and his fellow countrymen. In American circles in Rome sentiment is very strongly in favor of a change In the constitution of the church which will in future secure sufficient delay between the death of a Pope and the election of his successor to permit American Cardinals participating in the election. Pressure Is being brought upon the Sacred College from American quarters for this change.
