These fellows who remonstrate against permanent Improvement of their streets and alleys are going to have rough sledding the next three or four years. Mayor Shank declared today in discussing his street improvement program. Several days ago the mayor announced he was going to try to pave every unimproved street and alley in the city, because it Is too costly to keep dumping gravel, cinders and stone on them. Approximately 240 streets and alleys have been recommended for hard surfacing l>y Street Commissioner Martin J. Hyland, upon the mayor's order. “I want the board of works to keep a list of everybody who remonstrates and whenever any of these people petition for any improvement, gas, lights, water, sewers, anything, I want this board to RICKARD CASE GOES TO JURY BEFORENIGHT Motion to Dismiss Denied, After Which Arguments Are Made. SEW YORK, March 28—The case of George L. (Tex) Rickard, Internationally famous sporting promoter, charged with attacking 13-year-old Sarah Schoenfeld, will go to the jury late today. When Supreme Court Justice Wasservogel in criminal court announced an adjournment until 1 o'clock this afternoon, only the arguments of the opposing counsel remained to be made. Both sides rested their cases shortly before noon. Max D. Steuer, Rickard's attorney, made the usual motion to dismiss the Indictments. The motion was denied. The prosecution called only one witness in rebuttal, after Rickard himself was dismissed from the stand, following completion of his cross-examination. The rebuttal witness was George M. McGann, the policeman who arrested the sporting promoter on Jan. 21. Belief in the courtroom was that the Jury will return a quick verdict. It was understood that members of the Jury requested that the case be completed today if possible.

VICTIMS OF FLYING BOAT DISASTER

MIAMI, Fla.. March 28. —Robert Moore, pilot of the Miss Miami, flying boat, which was forced down into the ocean during a trip from Miami to the Island of Bimini, is in the hospital here, the lone survivor of the tragedy of the Atlantic. And he has told the story of how, during three days ami jights of tossing helpless at sea, three women and two men jumped or slipped to watery graves. Hie little craft rode the waves in safety the firs* day and night. Then the hull of the flier sprung a leak. Moore and his passengers took turns pumping out the water. Crazed by exhaustion and fright, one of the women jumped overboard on the second night. A man probably her husband, followed her. Tbis played on the minds of the other women passengers and they gave up the battle and fainted. Shortly, both died in Moore's arms. He let their bodies slip into the ocenn. Then a huge wave overturned the craft and August Bulte, last of the passengers.

Oh, Where, Oh Where Has Beverly Gone? Oh, Where--

Buried in tho minutes of the board of public works today was au item which caused some speculation among politicians Interested In the fight of Harry S. New an 1 Albert J. Beveridge for the Republican nomination for United States Senator. The item recorded the -fact Beverly Howard, negro Republican politician of the First ward, had been granted a leave of absenro from his job as Junior field aid in the city civil engineering department for forty days. The forty days will be up a short time after the primary election of May 2. Some politicians wondered why Tloward, who was one of the valuable workers in the Shank city organization last fall was temporarily giving up a fairly remunerative city Job. Board member William H. Freeman, who moved the leave of absence be given Howard, said he did not know why tho leave was desired. For some time a story has been going around the Shank city organization is not so earnest in its support of the candidacy of Beveridge ns It would seem on the surface. Shank leaders vigorously deny such rumors. It was learned, however, some of the negro politicians who are working with the Shank organization to elect Mr. Freeman Republican county chairman have been dickering with Senator New’s or-

terly affection in this case,” Dr. Brakestone said. Dr. Edward Cunat and other physicians were still uncertain whether the death of Josefa would mean Rosa’s death also. Surgeons have not yet given up hope for Josefa, who is suffering from jaundice. Her chances for life, however, are slight, they agreed. An X-ray to determine whether the sisters can be separated if oue dies lias never been taken according to Dr. Brakestone. Efforts will made to part them if Josefa dies, the doctors said. Rosa smiled wanly as she talked with her sonK Frantz. Occasionally she would glance at her sister as doctors forced medicine into Joscfa's throat. Josefa and Rosa were born in Austria. They traveled with shows in Europe for a decade. The sisters arrived in the United States a year ago. Rosa's husband was killed In the World War. “It’s the strangest case In medical annals,” said Dr. Brakestone. "Many Siamsee twins have been born, but they seldom reach maturity. We cannot even dare forecast what will be the result if Josefa dies. Rosa may have to follow her sister in death. She may not. We are going to do our best to save her life. According to Dr. Brakestone's observations, Josefa possesses the same love for Frants as does Rosa, the mother. Rosa, who was buoyant all morning and spoke freely with her son, Frantz, lapsed into a state of seral-coma later in the day. She awoke for a few seconds and gazed, at her sister, Josefa, who has been in a stupor for several days. Attendants said Rosa tried to speak, but fell back unconscious.

and Moore hung on to the sides. Finally Bulte, exhausted, let go and slipped out of sight. Moore managed to keep up by tying a ropo around his body and fastening it to

ganir.atlon. It was said by one of these men that Howard has been negotiating with the New leaders. Meanwhile, a Shank leader insisted Howard Is loyal to the move to put Mr. Freeman acroso. The politician, who said Howard Ins been talking business with the New organization, said several of the negro workers are figuring upon getting on the New band wagon, because tha Beveridge people axe not “doing much.” He said, at this time, it appears New is lining up most of the negro vote. The Shank organization had the negro vote almost to a man lu the municipal election. CAMP GRANT REFORMATORY. WASHINGTON, D.

CHICAGO, March 28. —Mme. Anna Pavlowa, tlie famous Russian classic dancer, refuses to believe the American girl is becoming ungainly. All the artistic Pavlowa lias is a mere man's word for it and that's not enough. Andreas Pauley, called the greatest living male dancer, who is in Chicago, says it's so. He says galoshes are giving our girls big feet and destroying the rhythm of their “once charming walk.” Bare knees, he avers, are making them stiff-legged, ungraceful and rheumatic. “What an Indictment," laughed the dark-eyed Pavlowa, interviewed in her luxurious apartments here today. "It just can't be. l’our girls are simply wonderful! They wear anything well, even galoshes. And they—--1 mean the girls—are naturally graceful.

WARM FIGHT LIKELY FOR LOWER HOUSE 12 Indiana Congressmen Are Seeking Re-election. SENATE RACE HOT Republicans Adopt Watchful Waiting Policy. With four more days left for aspirants to congressional honors to file declarations with tho secretary of State and with forty-three candidates also in the race, an analysis of the situation shows a keen contest for the nominations in both the major political parties in nearly every congressional district. On the face of it. appearances are the contests in the senatorial race may be outstripped by the congressional rivalry. Political interest of the Nation, always centered in Indiana, has been enlivened among Republicans by the spirited race between Beveridge aud New, and nmong Democrats by the apearance of five candidates, men of uniformly high caliber, and to this situation a stampede to get on the tickets for Congress lias been added. In some districts where one or two candidates were expected to fight it out for the nomination as many as five have appeared. Numerical strength is regarded with satisfaction particularly among the Democrats, who believe the desirability of the nominations augurs well for the ticket in the fall. The same applies to the Republicans, except for the fact, with one exception. thirteen congressmen are asking renomination and re-election and they feel opposition to their renomination does not constitute a complete indorsement of their record. Waiting to see what the other fellow is going to do is one of the causes why no Republican has tiled for the nomination in the Third district and no Democrats (Continued on Page Nine.)

Allen, commander-ln-chief of the American Army of Occupation on the Rhine, who has come here from Coblenz, American headquarters, conferred today with Ambassador Myron T. Herrick and Roland Boydcn upon the withdrawal of the American forces. It is possible n small detachment of American troops will be left behind for moral effect, despite the fact the Americans are under orders to withdraw completely. All of the Americans were to have been out of the Rhine land by the end of this week. The French .already have made arrangements to take over the territory evacuated by the doughboys. Tho orders to the Americans to retire has heightened the political tension over the demands of the United States for priority right to the payment of $241,000,000 German indemnity, for the upkeep of the American Army of Occupation. Great Britain already has allowed it to become known unofficially that she approves the Justness of America’s claims, but Premier Poincare of France has not given any opinion, either of approval or disapproval. The conference of General Allen, Ambassador Herrick and Mr. Boyden Is now awaiting word of some kind from the French premier. Mr. Boyden is America’s representative on the Reparations Commission.

BOLLES PLEADS FOR LEGION TO FIND MEN JOBS A plea for 11,000 posts of the American Legion and the general public to “speed up" and find jobs for the luckless World War veterans of the country, wa.s sent from the office of Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant, here today. In speaking of the legion’s campaign to provide places for the 700,000 jobless ex-service men, Bolles said: “Reports which have reached us from every section of the country tend to show the industrial sections, as New England and the Middle Atlantic States, are having the hardest fight. New York, for instance, has been able to place seven hundred jobless ex-service men out of 132,000 out of work. Connecticut could place only five hundred, while thousands are Jobless. “On the other hand, the agricultural communities of South Dakota, Nebraska and Wyoming, are 100 per cent free from unemployment. Other figures are encouraging, but far from satisfactory. Our efforts will be centered in Maryland, which succeedeed on placing only 1,800, Virginia 500, Illinois 150, and Wisconsin 2,000. These figures mav be augmented a bit and the situation improved for reports from many of the larger cities and towns have not yet been received. “To make these reports authentic, and to find where we stand, we are having a questionnaire sent out to our forty-eight State departments. These call for an accounting of how many men were employed when the drive started, how many have been placed and the opportunity for these 100 per cent places to take care of additional numbers. “This last plan came with the receipt of Information from a Maryland city It had obtained places for every one of its veterans. The committee kept on driving and discovered there were openings for 100 additional former service men. They went to Pittsburgh, Pa., where much trouble was being experienced and 100 men from the Pennsylvania city migrated to Maryland and went to work.”
