SglO. P. COUW WIGHT MAY BE W BATTLE ROYAL Coffin Scouts Said to Be Feeling Out Sentiment Cautiously. The possibility the fight for control of the Republican county organization will be three instead of two-cornered came to the front today when emissaries of George V. Coffin, leader of the Coffin-Dodson faction, were reported to te sounding out sentiment among Republican precinct committeemen. The .forces of Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank (already are openly sn the field and they regard the old News-Jewett crowd as their active opponents. The" Shank leaders received the report of Coffin-Dodson activity from so many sources they Immediately began to consider plans to cope with it. 'William H. Armltage, prime minister of the Marlon County Republican League, which is the organization through which the Shank faction is working for control, established himself permanently in headquarters at 225-227 Indiana Trust building yesterday. The headquarters have been -tened several days, but Mr. Armltage -JUz spent most of his time at the city hall. From today on Mr.. Armltage let it be known the battle is on in earnest. Shank followers regard it as almost certain the Jewett people will have a candidate for the county chairmanship, and he more than likely will be Harry C. Hendrickson, the present incumbent. He is regarded as a dangerous opponent of William H. Freeman, the Shank candidate, because as county chairman, he has the power to name Republican election boards in the county primary. Precinct committeemen who will participate in the election of the county and district chairmen will be elected in the primary. The Marion County Republican League also is backing William E. Reiley for Seventh District chairman. No candidate has openly been announced against him. It was understood the Coffin-Dod-son movement has not reached the point where a county chairmanship candidate has been chosen. PLANCHANGE OF LIGHTING SYSTEM Radical changes in the lighting system at the Central Library to correct the inadequate and faulty lighting which has been the cause of so much complaint ever since the library was opened, will be corrected within the near future as the result of action taken by the board of school commissioners at a special meeting. William M. Taylor, formerly a member of the school board for sixteen years, and who was chairman of the building committee at the time the library was built; Adolph Emhardt, member of the present board, and Charles E. Rush, librarian, were named a committee with power to act in installing proper lighting facilities. The loan of $250,000 to be used for meeting teachers’ pay rolls was awarded to the Indiana Trust Company on a bid of 6 per cent interest and $lO6 premium. The loan will run to June 30.

Highways and By-Ways of LiF OF New York (Copyright, 1922, by tho Public Ledger Company.) By RAYMOND CARROLL,

NEW YORE:. Feb. 28.—Night banking has become established in the Broadway district. It Is estimated that every week day after usual banking hours which close at 3 p. m., between 500,000 and 600,000 cash deposits are made In six banks that keep open especially to receive the late “take” of the theaters, hotels, restaurants and storekeepers of the brightlight belL This is a post-war development, largely brought about by the lawlessness of the neighborhood, business men being no longer willing “to sit on” their cash over night. The arrival of the cash is a thrilling event at the various banking institutions, coming in motorcars, taxicabs and by foot, messengers with armed guards clutching loaded pistols and looking to the right and left as the money is rushed back of the Iron bars. The Commercial Trust Company at and FortyFirst street, keeps open until 10:30 p. m., and an extra shift of clerks awaits the night money. G. J. Baumann, vice president, who has been in the Broadway district for twenty years or more said night banking was the logical outcome of a neighborhood that begins Its business after the rest of the town has put down its shutters of trade. Theater managers of New York are contemplating the use of wireless telephony to replace orchestras. Vaudeville theaters and musical shows could not avail themselves of canned melodies from the air and will continue to pay from $75 •up for their leaders and a minimum of $52 weekly for their musicians. But theaters with dramatic offerings and the picture houses could save a tidy sum by the installation of wireless receiving stations. The things they do and the things they say on Broadway are evidently known In Fresno, California, the home town of a young successful teacher re cently acclaimed in a competition the mo£t beautifully proportioned woman In the world. She has been besieged with handsome offers to appear In vaudeville. One of the Broadway agents claim to have received a reply from this modern venus. “Thank you, no decided!*? no, I shall save myself untarnished for the man I am to marry.” The horse cannot be downed, the American institute of meat packers through their committee on local delivery has made an Investigation on the comparative costs of operating gas and electric autos as compared with horses. The committee reached the conclusion that the horse has been and will continue to be our moat faithful and economical servant, with the added premise “under twenty miles a day.” Most clerks who rob their employers enjoy themselves with the proceeds of You Need Not Have A Cold If you will take Laxative BROMO QUININE Tablets when you feel the first symptoms of a Cold coming on.—Advertisement.

their peculations as they steal from day to day. Arthur E. Olsson, the 26-year-old clerk of a local insurance company, hid his alleged stealings as he went along renting safety deposit box after safety deposit box. He had $120,000 “cached” when his irregularities were discovered, the police say, and intended to amass $250,000. Olsson is In jail charged with forging the names of officials of his company to checks and other papers that passed through his hands. Without himself having had even one wild night on Broadway. Nor have the police developed a woman in the case—Olsson, after studying the ways of the rich rolling around the big city In motor cars, set his eye upon some time in the distant future when he would qualify for the society column.

TEACHING REAL HISTORY FACTS NEED OF TODAY Albert J. Beveridge Speaks to Knox County Bar Association. VINCENNES, Ind., Feb. 28.—The truthful teaching of the actual facts of American history is the greatest need of the day, Albert J. Beveridge declared, in a talk of “The Growth and Meaning of the American Constitution,” at a public meeting under the auspices of the Knox County Bar Association here last night. “It is an humiliating and shameful fact that we Americans know less about the history of our country than other people know about the history of their country,” Mr. Beveridge said. “Anybody can ‘put over’ on us any l’airy tale about our history, and ‘get by’ with it. “Foreign propagandists take advantage of this fact, which is well known abroad; It is the best and surest method by which they can de-Americanize America. They are at this work right now and have teen at It for the last few years—‘boring from within.’ “Our republic is facing many dangers, but all of them put together do not equal the peril of this false teaching of our history, this corruption of the minds of our children, the purpose and effect of which is to extinguish the Spirit of America, and quench devotion to the republic. “If our peculiar American Institutions of orderly freedom are to endure, every one of us must know what those Institutions are, and fight for those in stltutlons—fight for all of them, not merely some of them. Tens of thousands of the best men who ever lived have died in battle to defend and preserve these institutions —all of those institutions, not merely some of them.”

officers of a corporation will not be accepted as a reasonable cause for failure to file the return, within the prescribed time, unless It Is shown srtlsfactorlly there were no other principal officers available and sufficiently Informed as to the affairs of the corporation to make and verify the return. “Asa condition of granting an extension of time for filing a return, the collector may require the submission of a tentative return. Tentative returns will not be accepted unless permission Is obtained previous to filing. A copy of the authority for filing the tentative return must be attached thereto when filed. Where a taxpayer files a tentative return and fails to file a complete return within the period of the extension requested by him, the complete return when filed Is subject to penalties prescribed for delinquency. “If before the end of a thirty-day extension granted by the collector, an accurate return cannct be made, an appeal for a further extension must be made to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington, D. C., with a full recital of the causes for the delay. The commissioner will not grant an additional extension without a clear showing that a complete return cannot be made at the end of the thirty-day period. For failure to file a return on time, the taxpayer becomes liable to a penalty of not more than SI,OOO and a further penalty of 25 per cent of the amount of tax due, unless he later files a return and It is satisfactorily shown the delinquency was due to a reasonable cause and not to wilful neglect.”

REPORTS SHOW GAINS MADE IN RAIL AFFAIRS Operating Expenses of 54 Roads Decreased In 1921. Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—The railroads of the United States fared far better in 1921 than they did in 1920, but their earnings for last year fell far short .of the 6 per cent return intended for them by tho schedule of rates fixed by the interstate commerce commission in August, 1920. The net operating Income of the roads for 1921, according to complete reports j filed with the commission, amounted to 1 $615,625,619, which was at the annual rate I of return of 3.31 per cent on the tentaj tive valuation sanctioned by the commission, This net Income, railroad officials assert, hardly more than covered their Interest charges and rentals, these items amounting to $603,000,000 in 1920 and somewhat greatd; than that in 1921. LARGE SUMS FOR MAINTENANCE. During 1921, fifty-four roads consisting of 26,022 miles of track, showed operating deficits of $29,114,000. Total operating revenue In 1921 was $5,569,888,000 a decrease of 10.6 per cent compared with the total in 1920, but the railroads made

a better showing for 1921 because of their greatly reducing expenses. Operating expenses for the last year amounted to $4.602,425,000, which was a decrease of 21.1 compared to the year with 1920. Tabulations showed that $2,019,985,000 were spent on maintenance In 1921 or 23.1 per cent less than in 1920. Figures for December, which also are made public, show the roads to have earned $51,510,478, which would have been at the rate of annual return of 3.44 per cent. December operating revenues totaled $425,044,000, a reduction of 22.8 per cent, compared with the same month the year before, while operating expenses for December, 1921, totaled $348,973,000, a decrease of 31.7 per cent as compared with December, 1920. Os the $615,625,619 net operating Income for the last year, the railroads In the Eastern district had $271,820,000 compared with a deficit of $82,659,000 in 1920. This would be at the annual rate of return of 3.31 per cent on their tentative valuation, but $220,240,000 below a 6 per cent return. SOUTHERN AND. WESTERN REPORTS. Complete reports show that the railroads in the Southern district had a net operating Income of $56,995,000 compared with $18,443,720 the year before. This net operating Income was equivalent to an annual rate of return of 2.60 per cent. Those In the Western district, the reports showed, had a net operating income of $286,811,000 compared with $123,584,000 in 1920, which would be at the annual rate of return of 3V& per cent.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
