ing awarded them. They did not begin the work of construction until the next summer, and it was not until 1824 the building was completed. When the State of Indiana was admiti and nto the Union, Congress donated to the Infant commonwealth four sections of land on which to build a capital city, the land to be selected by the State, from any that remained unsold. In IS2O, the Legislature determined to go out into the wilderness and hunt for a site for the State's future capital city. Three sites were offered, one a few miles south of the present city, and one a few miles northeast. After much debating the commissioners decided upon accepting four sections of land around the mouth of Fall Creek. With the exception of a lonely cabin here and there. It was sixty miles away from the nearest settlements. All around were dense forests. Only a few mlle3 away was the boundary which divided the “New Purchase” from the lands still claimed by the Indians. The Legislature approved the report of the commissioners and proceeded to hunt for a name for the new city. Every member of the Legislature had a name to propose. Finally ‘'lndianapolis” was determined upon, and the city in embryo had a name. In the spring of the year, about the time the commissioners were busy laying out the new town, George Pogue, the traditional first settler, was killed by Indians, and this tragedy kept up the excited fears of the people for some

Concerning ‘EVERYMAN’ BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. The dust of the ages was brushed off of an old manuscript of the morality play, “Everyman,” for the purpose of giving the Little Theater Society of Indiana a chance to present it at the Masonic Temple as a special Lenten attraction. What might be defined as a “select” audience was present last night to witness the first of two performances of this old morality play. The second presentation is scheduled at 3 o'clock this aftermmmtmm noon. The spirit which prompted the society to pref" < . sent this old play Iv N" deserves much M V | credit as we can B' A x 1 look to only the JB Little Theater to present important K- j 01l plays such as flf: fc*. “Everyman." It is jjs& - v a big undertaking (*_. .; m to present "EveryH&vj. Vi man’’ because A careful study must \ Sixen to all tlon tbe voice " is the Important element In a performance of this George Somnes. play. It is a shame that more people were not present at the Temple last ulght to witness this rare old morality play. If the Little Theater is going to continue to do worthwhile things. Indianapolis must support whole heartedly all performances. The Little Theater caunot afford to play to a vacant seat and Indianapolis cannot afford to let a vacant seat welcome the society at any performance. I am not going to “rave" at this time ovpr the poor visible support given the Little Theater last night, but I promise you at a future time I will attempt to discuss that phase of the problem. As the story of “Everyman" was unfolded last n'ght. I had the feeling that the society was doing its best work. Every player seemed to undeistand his Job. All lines were reasonably well read. The players were Helen Bedell, Marjorie Chiles, Herman L. Earnest, Evelyn Fife, Larry Fletcher, Ralph F. Thompson. Norman Green, Jack Harding, Jane Jillson, George Somnea, Mary Jane Walters, Stuart Walker, Arleigh Waltz, P. H. Weer, Kathleen Willson, Romnet Wills n. Marjorie Olsen and Marjorie Brown Sherwood. The honors of the evening went to Mr. Sornnes, who played the role of Everyman, who was deserted by Fellowship, Strength, Discretion, Goods, Kindred. Cousin, Beauty, Five-Wittes and Knowledge when called to the grave by Death. Only Good Deeds went to the grave with Everyman. Mr. Somnes read the lines with distinct diction and when opportunity permitted it put real emotional shading in the scenes. His work was finished and showed careful study of this difficult role. All members of the cast were more than satisfactory and the cast as a whole was better balanced than on previous occasions. The manner of presenting the play was as old fashioned as the play Itself. Many of the players came from the audience. The stage settings were simple, but highly effective. All in all, last night was a worthy evening in the history of the Little Theater. The play is essentially moral and was presented in that attitude. The final performance is scheduled for this afternoon. The Oriel Trio played a musical prelude to the play and furnished the incidental music during the action of the morality play.

months, but it was the last of the Indian killings In this section. In the beginning of 1882 the town boasted of about 500 Inhabitants, and It is said they thought It was time they were being served with mail. A meeting of the citizens was called at Hawkin’s tavern. Aaran Drake was appointed postmaster, and he made regular trips to Connersvillo, received the mall for the new settlement and transported It through the woods to Its destination. This was done by private enterprise. Roads were needed, anil the Legislature In the winter of 1821-22, appropriated 'IOO,OOO to open mp and construct a number of roads to Its new capital. One led from the Ohio River near I.awrenceburg and another up from Madison, while Noblesvllle, Crawfordsville, and other settlements were connected in the same way. In 1822 a militia regiment was organized, the -tOth, with James Paxton as colonel; Samuel Morrow, lieutenant colonel, and Alexander E. W. Russell, major. Those days all the able-bodied cltl zens had to attend musters of the militia. The first show ever given In Indianapolis was on the last night of the year 1823, the bill being “The Doctor’s Courtship” and the “Farce of the Jealous Lovers.”

The first school In the county seat was .started In IS2I, tut Its teacher was shortly afterward elected county recorder and the school was temporarily suspended. Religious teachings began with the advent of French missionaries among the Indians. In 1537 the first female school of Indianapolis was opened. It was called the “Indianapolis Female Institute,” and was chartered by the Legislature. Its reputation was such that a number of pupils from other States attended it. Dr. John Evans of Chicago, who had made a study of mpntal diseases, delivered a lecture before the members of the Legislature of 1842-43, and the Governor was directed to obtain plans for the erection of a suitable building for an insane hospital, which was constructed In 1846. The State Deaf and Dumb Asylum Is located in Marlon County. The first school was established lu 1844 and sessrfons were hela In n rented structure. [ but In 1840 a building was erected for this purpose and was later abandoned for the present buildings. In 1847 the first railroad was completed between Indianapolis and the Ohio River at Madison. lud. The present Marion County courthouse ws completed in 1877 at a cost of $1,750,000. The county Jail was built in 1592 and is architecturally one of the best building In the city. It Is constructed of Indiana oolitic limestone and cost $173,00> The sheriffs residence Is located in the building. The Marlon County workhouse Is located In the northwestern part of the city. It Is a large brick structure and is provided with ICO ceils. Connected with the institution is twelve acres of ground, which are kept under cultivation. Recently this workhouse has been abandoned because such an institution no longer seemed necessary.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES.

TRIBE CHEERS UP AS BRIGHT SUN COMES OUT Weather Clears for Week-end Exhibition Games With Tulsa Leaguers. ALL PITCHERS TO WORK TULSA, Okie., April I.—The Tulsa bnll park was a muddy morass yesterday following several days of Incessant, rain and the Indianapolis American Association team, which arrived Thursday for a series with the local Western Leaguers, was forced to sit idly by Friday anil wait for the sun which finally popped out with a welcome glow to dry out the field and place it In condition for the games of today and Sunday. Manager Hendricks probably will send all of his pitching staff, eight in number, into the games here at Tulsa and each pitcher will hav a a siege In the box. They have been out of a uniform three days now and the Tribe boss desires to give each of them a short w r hirl. Manager Hendricks assembled the Indians at the Tulsa ball park Friday afternoon for several hours of pracitco along the sidelines. The gtjmes here are the last of the preliminary workouts for the Indians, who are making their way to I the home lot at Indianapolis to open a | series of exhibition games with big i league cluos, and to prepare for the lnl- | tlal game of tho American Association pennant race, which begins April 12, the St. Paul Club offering the first opposition at Washington Park. The Indians will arrive in Indianapolis Monday afternoon and the following day Manager Pat Moran, of the Cincinnati Reds, will send his National Leaguers against the Tribe, beginning a two-day series. The Indians should tie in fair shape for the exhibition series on the home lot despite tho idleness here. Marlin, Texas, though an unwelcome wind was at hand most of tho time, dished out pretty fair weather as a whole and the team left Texas much benefited bv the stay in the Lone Star State. ‘The pitching selections for the Indian’s in today's contest with the local team were expected to bring Ourman 11111 and Jess Petty to the mound. Both have pitched in previous exhibition games and should hold the Tulsa club in check. If Illil and Petty succeed in showing off for Mnnuger Hendricks in a satisfactory manner either Clancy or Setb, the rookie pitchers may get Into the game. Clancy as yet has not worked for the Indians since coming to the club from the Giants, but Selb occupied the box for three innings against Galveston I and later battled the New York Giants for the same number of rounds, j acquitting himself creditably in both appearances.

NOTES OF THE TRIBE. With the exception of the outfield, the Indians will present their strongest lineup against the Tulsa club. With Brown and Spencer both out of the game the Indians’ outfield is far from being a fixed affair as both Spencer and Brown are considered of much strength. Os course Walter Uehg and Eugene Morrison, of last year’s club, are hack on the Job and have been going great gurs. The recruit Purcell was the third outfielder in the iineup today. He led the Cenlral League ir. clubbing performances last season with the remarkable averages of .PS!> and has hit at a lively clip this spring. Purcell, however, phas had difflimlty *n fielding, although in the Central League he made only eight errors for the season. Purcell possesses r great amount of speed but. like the conditions facing *ho recruits in the pitching department. Pnr'-ell lias a mighty hard road over which to travel to make a place In the Indians' outer-works. The Tribe will posse- v probably the best catching department In the league in Ernie Krueger and Loo Ixon. Krueger will be a wonderful addition to the club and should Improve the Indians' chances of landing the coveted bunting by abotlt i 100 par cent. Incidentally. Leo f>txiin Is hitting from both sides of the plate this year Hendricks persuaded the Indians’ red-haired catching star to move over to the left side when facing right-handed pitchers and he Is showing a big boom In slamming the bnll. The Indianapolis hoys were exchanging greetings with an old American Association favorite today In the personage of Bill Frol, ex-manager of the St. Paul and Columbus teams, and later an umpire In the Association Frlel Is the business manager of the ba'l ’lub of this thriving and busy Western League town Bill was surrounded by a host of the Indians, who were glad to see him. as he was a popular player and manager In bis days He has a grand team In the making here. A baby hoy arrlyed at his house yesterday and his dad aays he has a baseball career mapped out for him. MILLER SHORTSTOP m*RT. DYERSBURG, Tenn.. April I.—Rob Stevenson, shortstop for Minneapolis, today was found to have suffered a broken thumb In practice Friday at the Minneapolis camp here. SAINT CATCHER JUMPS. ST. PAUL, April 1. —St. Paul probably will be minus the services of Bob McMeneiuy, catcher.

SPEEDWAY LIST INDICATES BIG RACING FIELD At This Early Date, Fourteen Cars Are Entered and Seat Sale Is Good. With fourteen entries filed and the advance seat sale for the International 500milt race to be held here Tuesday, May 30, 20 per cent ahead of last year’s record breaking figures, the speedway executives are working at top speed to get everything in readiness for the rush of business In the final two months before the big affair. Thirteen of tho fourteen cars entered are of Yankee manufacture and with the definite knowledge that numerous of the home guard, tbe regulars who take a grab each year at the approximately SIOO,OOO hung up on the finish wire, are ready to enter and the cable Information from W. F. Bradley, speedway representative in Europe, that the foreign entries uudoudtedly will outnumber last year's worthy representation, the management of the race has ceased to worry about drivers and cars and Is using his energy toward handling the largest I crowd in the history of the annual liveceutury grind. Ralph De Palma, that favorite son of speed who turned defeat into fame here in 1912 and then won in 1915, will pilot a home-made car, the Duesenberg, In tbe event. He has abandoned the foreign cars he has been piloting for a speed creation of America, in the hope that he can show his tires to the other driver* at the finish wire. Our own “Handsome Howdy” Wilcox, who won in 1919, will try to repeat in the Peugeot he has been tuning up over the bricks of the local oval all winter. Wilcox has had unusually bad luck in the last two races, but is confident ha will have the “bugs” worked out of his French car by race time this year. Eddie Hearne, the youthful veteran of American speed paths, will show bis | hairless dome to the fans from the driver's seat of a Disteel Duesenberg. Hearne I is the first driver to enter the big race j and will carry the numeral 1 on hi* car. | Tommy Milton, who has more title* ! than any of the pilots, will be here. Milton was victorious here in 1921, and is the speed king of the world, having traveled 156.4 miles per hour on the , sands of Daytona Beach, Fla., at the 1 wheel of a sixteen-cylinder Duesenberg, and last year was winner of the A. A. A. points championship. He won the last California race at Beverly Hills in Lo Angeles at the wheel of his Leach Special and has been showing great speed in it.

E. C. (Cannonball) Baker of transcontinental fame, another Indianapolis pilot, is the only driver so far nominated by Louis Chevrolet, the man who designed and built the cars which won the last pair of 500-mile drives. Chevrolet has entered six Frontenacs In the race, but Is keeping the names of five of the pilots a secret. The wiseacres claim he has a fast one on the wing which will shortly be announced. Although this will be Baker's first start In the Indianapolis affair, he probably Is as well acquainted with the local speed oval as Wilcox and Ralph Mulford, who have driven in every race and have a flirting acquaintance with every brick on the course. He is a bear for punishment, being famous for his wonderful endurance on the New York to Los. Angeles jaunts. He is an old-time campaigner who has graduated to automobiles from the hard riding seat of a racing motorcycle. And then there Is Wally Reid, fresh from winning anew series of moving picture races, who will stake his chances for fame and additional fortune against the prowess of the old masters. Ira Vail, who suffers seasickness every time he drives the board bowls, will again tackle the Indianapolis bricks this year. Mae Harvey of Los Angeles, the only woman in racing, has entered her Frontenac in the race and nominated Jerry Wonderlick to drive. But Jerry says he can t drive It because he has purchased a Duesenberg. Anyway both cars and Jerry will be in the race and there are always more good drivers than cars ready to face the starter. Harry Hartz, who i ppeared here last year In the role of mechanic for Eddie Hearne, win drive his own Duesenberg In the coming race. He has had the experience of competing In three California races and will drive in two more before he brings his car to Indianapolis. T. E. (Pop) Myers, manager of th® speedway, remarked today that “Indianapolis people Invariably get the worst seats at the race, because they wait until the last moment to purchase them. Tho seat sale has been on for two months and many of the better grandstand seats, boxes and parking spaces have been purchased and the vast majority of them by out-of-town persons.”
