THREE ASPIRE TO DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMANSHIP Russel J. Ryan, James J. Mo* riarity and Joseph C. Manning in Race. , With three candidates actively in the race for the Democratic county chairmanship, Democratic affairs in Marion County are showing more signs of life than for a long time past. Russel J. Ryan, one of the best-known of the younger Democrats; James J. Moriarity, an aggressive, mililtant Democrat of the old school, and Joseph C. Manning, who has been connected actively with local party affairs for a number of years, are the three candidates for the position. Moriarity's backers come largely from the old anti-Beil faction of the party, and behind his candidacy there is an interesting story going the rounds. This story has it when he first considered entering the race, some of his friends approached Joseph E. Bell, former mayor, to discover what his attitude would be toward the Moriarity candidacy. Bell is reported to have said, while he had nothing personal against Moriarity, he tbonght a ydunger man should be selected. When this word reached Moriarity's ears, so the story goes, he said he would show the whole crowd he was just as aggressive as any younger man and had many a good fight left in him. He announced his candidacy immediately.
BUSH AMONG MORIARITY MEN. Among his most active supporters are Dennis J. Bush and Jack Dupn, the Ninth ward politician. Around Morbrlty have rallied many of the strongest of the anti-Bell leaders of a few years ago, men wise in political ways, and they are making a bard and intelligent fight for the election of precinct committeemen at the May primary favorable to Moriarity’s candidacy. Behind Manning are lined-up Thomas A. Riley, member of the State industrial board, his business associate William Feeney, who was defeated for the city chairmanship by Thomas Meeker a year ago, William Gibson and their friends. In many quarters it is believed the fact Riley, ever since his term as county clerk expired, has been beneficiary of appointments conferred by Republican city and State administrations, will have an adverse effect on the Manning candidacy. Opponents of Manning are arguing Riley held a position on the board of public works during the Jewett administration and, even before his term of office expired, was named a member of the industrial board by Governor Warren T. McCray. They insist to name county chairman backed by the Riley forces would savor too highly of making the Democratic county organization nothing more than the tail of the Republican kite. MANNING FORCES ARE OPTIMISTIC. The Manning forces are growing more active and are displaying considerable confidence in the outcome of the fight. Russell J. Ryan was brought out by a number of the younger Democrats of the city in an effort to Inject new blood |Jnto the county organization. He was selected after a careful canvass of the entire field of available material had been made, and his backers say he represents anew deal in local Democratic affairs, since he is not affiliated with any faction, nor interested in any factional differences or personal political fduds of the past. There is no doubt his candidacy has ■otede considerable headway since he entered the race about two weeks ago. At ail events. Democrats seem to hare awakened in Marion County and are displaying more interest in the triangular race for the county chairmanship than they have in any party contest for many years. Child to Supply U. S. Contact at Genoa ROME, March 30.—The United States will have an unofficial representative at Genoa during the economic conference in the person of Richard Washburn Child, American ambassador to Italy, it was learned today. Ambassador Child, it is understood, is going to Genoa to "insure friendly contact between the t'ntted States and the European powers.”

Building Your Own Radio Set DAILY RADI( FEATURES
By R. U DCNCAN, Director, Radio Institute of America. Build your own. It's the best way to get on the inside of wireless. But instead of working from the ground up. the radio enthusiast who ; Starts to erect a receiving set must work ! from the air down. As the waves go flying through the j other, they have to be intercepted. The antenna —or aerial—does the trick, j It reaches out and plugs In on the wire- I less line. The best kind of antenna for receiving purposes is one employing a single wire 100 to 125 feet in length, strung’ as high as possible. For durability and conductivity seven-stranded phosphor bronze wire No. 18, is recommended, alAntenna attached to garage or outbuilding. 1, supporting poles; 2, cable or wire; S, insulators; 4, antenna; 5, lead-in. though hard-drawn single copper wire, either bare or insulated, may be em- j ployed. Aluminum wire may be used, j but the other wires are better Do not use galvanized iron or steel on account of the resistance offered by these ; metals. PCT IT CP HIGH. Tour antenna cannot be .too high. The higher yoT get It the better. A good height is 100 feet. Bi Antenna attached to tree. 1. weight; 2, pulley. Run the wire between. any two ob- ! jects—between the top of your house and an outbuilding, or from the house to a tree. The lead-in should be part of the antenna. The antenna itself should be well insulated by porcelain, electrose or hard rubber insulators. If you run your aerial between two buildings, erect poles on each roof. Run a short piece of durable cable or strong wire from the poles to the Insulators which are attached to the antenna. These Insulators should be from four to six inches long of hard rubber, porcelain or electrose. String wour antenna between these two insulators, allowing a little give for the wind. Make a few turns of your antenna around the insulator near the house, and then run the wire into the house as your "lead-in.” Be sure that all parts of the antenna are kept clear of all objects. INSULATE LEAD-IN. Be sure that the lead-in is properly insulated as it is brought into the house. The first object the antenna should be connected with is the receiving set. If you run yonr aerial between the house and a tree attach a balanced weight to a pulley between the tree and insulator (see diagram 2). This is to prevent the snapping of the antenna during severe wind storms. The weight should be suspended so that it will take up a maximum of fifteen feet With euch a construction the antenna may be connected to any object liable to flexibility. He’s Out —In Again; As an Embezzler E. J. Strader, 62, was discharged in city court from a charge of embezzling S2O from a McCordsville man for whom he had been collecting, only to be immediately rearrersted on an affidavit of Henry M. Phipps, 5020 University avenue,' [charging embezzlement of $137.50.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES.
BY R. C. KENNAN. Tbs word “wireless” has almost been erased from the modern scientific vocabulary. It has been suppplanted by the word “Radio.” It is possible to change our words and expression’s, but it Is almost impossible for the old-time “wireless bug” to forget the wireless days and tireless nights spent in the efforts to make “Radio” what it is today. It was along in 1912 that Indianapolis Put her hat into the wireless ring. Several enterprising young men in various parts of the city had by hard labor and many trying experiments been able to get their apparatus constructed and were able to communicate with each other by the telegraphic code. Apparatus was very scarce on the market and was at the same time very expensive when it was obtainable. Very few “wireless bugs” had sufficient money to purchase the apparatus, and. acccordingly, about 95 per cent of the equipment was home made. Many weary hours were epent by these earnest devotees in winnding by hand many thousand turns of very fine wire on the secondary coils of their transformers And, oh! how exasperating it wuas to see these secondary colls burn out after pressing the keys a few times; all the labor and materials gone up in smoke and the work to do over ngain. FIRST ATTEMPTS RESULTED IN MORE PROBLEMS. After a second or third attempt at rewinding and building up hopes of transmitting signals “all over the city,” tiie secondary condenser would begin to kick up by breaking through the plates and requiring complete rebuilding. Finally, after rebuilding and strengthening parts here and there, the operator's heart leaped wlrh Joy to hear his fellow “Bug” way over on the other side of '.he city answer his signals. And did you ever have the pleasure of hearing these signals? Well Johnny Love had a tone sounded like a Ford hand Klaxon, rough as a nutmeg grater, and Bill Kegley sounded like an old ram out in the barn lot. Carl Dean boasted of a\pretty smooth tone like a Mississippi RiVer flat boat, but Just the same the signals “got through.” Then came the advent of the rotary spark gap which “sweetened” up the tone and made the signals readable ‘hrough the raspy static. All the boys then built rotary spark gaps to replace the Inefficient straight spark gap. Oh! It was something to talk about when your signals were so strong that every fellow in town could hear you on any adjustment of his tuning coil. However, it wasn't nearly so nice when someone else wanted to “work the air" when the strong stations were working. They simply had to quit and wait until the "power box” was through. About that time Uncle Sam stepped in and said: "Here boys, you’ve got to cut that out. Some of you fellows are interfering with commercial work. You must make your aerials smaller and cut down on your apparatus so that you don't send out a wave longer than 200 meters. Also, you must cut yonr transformer input to one kilowatt and yon must tune your sets to transmit on a sharp wave." Weil this woke up some of the "power boys” and put some of them to sleep. The ajeepy one said "It can’t be done. We wont be able to send five miles.” The more interested ones said "Well it can't be helped. We must Ido if Uncle Sam says so.” And they did. Much to the surprise of many, they found that their transmitting range was
increased and they were actually ablfe to work with out of town stations. Interest was then on the increase and the next step was the development of new deceiving apparatus, far more sensative than any heretofore. Lucy was the fellow who had $25.00 to pay for the first audion tube detector put on the market and what a blessing to the amateurs, when the price was reduced to SIB.OO Several other makes of detector tubes were then put on the market at a more popular price. It was not long before several Indianapolis amateurs had stations with operating ranges of 200 to 300 miles under favorable conditions. Very shortly, after this stage of development, the call to the colors went forth from the White House and Indianapolis was ready with a goodly share of first class wireless operators to keep the Army and Navy communication lines intact. “WIRELESS BUGS” AIDED UNCLE SAM. Every Indianapolis “wireless bug” who had a chance to serve the colors went forth to do his share and he was proud of his ability. When in the service, of Uncle Sam many amateur wireless men were given a chance to develop their ideas in the Government laboratories. The radio telephone Idea had long been in existence but undeveloped. It was developed and put on a practical basis during the war. It was of Inestimable value on some lines of communication. After the war these men, who had been “wireless bugs,” who had served through the trying experimental stage of wireless telegraphy, who had answered the call and who had developed radio telephony, began to commercialize their training and knowledge Amateur radio telephone stations began to broadcast into the air and radio manufacturing concerns , began to put radiophone apparatus on the market. The practicability and the prospects for a brilliant future attracted the larger electrical manufacturing interests. Soon large broadcasting radiophone sta tlons were established at Pittsburgh, Vhieago and Newark, from whieh points intensely Interesting musieal programs and leetures were transmitted. Indianapolis has had one, radiophone broadcasting station during the development work and can now boost of two excellent stations that hid fair to furnish the surrounding territory for 100 miles or more with the finest of music and lectures during the entire year. Is it any wonder that an enterprising city like Indianapolis should go "radio crazy?” We have certainly played an important part in the development of this wonderful art and we are certainly entitled to enthusiastically share in the results cf our labor.

ROAD APPEALS MUST BE DENIED Court Keeps Accounts Board From Investigations. Requests on an average of two and three daily have been received by the State board of accounts from county and township farmers’ federations asking that road building transactions be examined, according to Jesse Eschbacb, head of the board. V These requests have been answered, stating that the State board of accounts lias ceased inspecting roads since the decision of the Indiana Appellate Court, holding that the board had no legal powers to undertake that kind of work. A petition for a rehearing of the case is being prepared in the office of Attorney General U. S. Leah, which is expected to be ready for filing within ten dajs. The State board of accounts is anxious that the petition for a rehearing be prepared as soon as possible so that it may be taken to the Supreme Court in case a rehearing in the Appellate Court is denied before the present term of the Supreme Court ends. Mr. Eschbach believes many thousands of dollars have been saved to the people of Indiana through the work of the State board of accounts in making contractors come up to specifications. It is considered likely that an effort will be made to obtain legislation in the next Legislature giving the board powers, which it had assumed, if the rehearing in the Appellate Court results in its decision being affirmed or should the Supreme Court decide the case In the manner.

CHICAGO POLICE TO INVESTIGATE POKER HOLD-UP Curious to Know How Robber Chanced to Make Rich Haul in Apartment. CHICAGO, March 30.—An investigation Into the nature of the card game in the apartment of Mrs. Julia Madgen where twelve guests were robbed of between $8,009 and SIO,OOO in cash and Jewelry last night, was launched by the police today. The admission of Mrs. Madgen she has played at twenty or more homes where the limit was $1 and sometimes $2 in small poker games and where manicurists, widows and divorces were the most frequent women players, may cause a general investigation into (he “apartment night life” on the nortn side. A telephone call, which Mrs. Magden believed was' from one of those "invited” to her home, served as a cue to the robbers. They made their appearance short l ly after 10 o’clock and fleeced the guests of their valuables, after lining them up against a wall. The police are particularly anxious to know Just how it was the robbers who made the raid could have picked this one flat out of thousands on the north side. They also are attempting to uncover the nature of the game and whether or not there was any “rake-off.” Convictions Under Dry Law Upheld Convictions in the Delaware and Huntington Circuit Courts for violation of the prohibition law have been affirmed by the Indiana Supreme Court. Chdarles Lee of Muncie, alleged that a charge was wrongfully brought against him in the Muncie city court while the Circuit Court grand jury was in session. He will have to serve a sentence of six months and pay a fine of S4OO. Edward T. Vorhee.s of Roanoke must serve a sentence of thirty days and pay a fins of SIOO. He was charged with hiring a Serbian, Steve Miller, to distill liquor for him.

Negroes Must Leave University Section Special to The Times, BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 30.—Negro residents of Bloomington, who for nearly fifty years have occupied an area of six squares adjoining Indiana University, are in search of new shelters. The doom of this district, popularly known as “Buektown,” was announced yesterday, following a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce to consider, a plan to relieve the housing situation. Dr. Fred J. Prow, owner of thirtythree lots in this section, announced that he would clear his property of the negro shacks and start construe ion of modern homes if other prop rty owners would cooperate with him in improvements. K. H. Harris and J. B. Fields, the two other principal owners, announced their Intentions of erecting two $20,000 apartment bouses at once.
