Ohio and Pennsylvania streets, one of the oldest and best known downtown drug stores has been sold to the Hook Drug Company, it became known today.

About fifteen yei.rs ago Dr. Hurty retired from the firm und the name then became the Francis Pharmacy. NATIONAL MOTOR IS REFINANCED Suit Dismissed and Pioducduction Starts Soon, It Is Said. Announcement of the withdrawal of the suit brought by an indemnity company, acting for a parts maker client, against the National Motor Car and Vehicle Corporation was made today. At the same time the announcement that this suit had been withdrawn, the case never having reached court, comes the statement from George M. Dickson, president, and M. E. Eistun, secretary and treasurer of the National, that the refinancing plans under consideration for some time had been successfully completed, and additional working capital had been made available. This, with the balance of the $750,000 bond issue authorized by the stockholders. of which only a portion has been used, places the National company in a strong position, according to c <mpany officials. Increased factory production gees into effect at once. It is announced.
TO CLEAR NAME OF BECK, ARMY PLANS CONTEST (Continued From Page One.) also tell of the events preceding the tragedy. She will say, however, that from the moment she saw her husband, revolver In hand, her mind is a blank as to the actual shooting of the airman. AGED MOTHER IN HER LAST FAREWELL. Mrs. Rachel Beck, 77-year-old mother of the slain man, arrived here for a last vie-* of her son's body this morning. Sh'i was accompanied by the wives of Army officers from Ft. Sill. “It Is not true—lt can not be true," Mrs. Beck said, crying softly. “My boy could not do the things they say.” The airman’s mother Is a tragic figure. Her years rest heavily upon her. Her life has been a series of tragedies—“tragic milestones which dot my weary path,” she said. A pioneer of the early West —an Army man’s wife In the distant Indian fighting days of Oklahoma, Mrs. Beck settled at F*. Sill. Her first husband died. Then she wed Brig. Gen. William Beck. “They have told me what is being said of my boy,” Mrs. Beck said. "They trltd to keep It away from me, but aome day I would hear and It might not be from the Ups from those who loved me. “I will be l rave under this cross, for my boy would want me to be brave. I must cry a little, but I’ll try—Oh, I’ll try so hard to be just the kind of a mother he would want me to be.” And the little gray-halred women forced a wan smile through the big tears which filled her eyes. Mrs. Beck Is going to accompany her son's body to Washington Sunday. She will see it placed beside the grave of his father In Arlington Cemetery. Mrs. Beck will not attend the Inquest. It was expected, even by Tresecutor Forrest L. Hughes, that the Jury would return a verdict urging that prosecution against Judge Day be dropped. Changed Minds in Last Minute; Escaped Death LONDON, April B.—A last minute change of mind probably saved the lives of two American women who were booked to make the trip In the Paris airplane express which collided with another machine with the loss of six lives, it was learned today. The women are Mrs. T. Berst and Miss Lock. They said they had Intended to fly to Paris, but changed their plans on account of the foggy condition of the weather. The Daimler Company, which operated the English machine, had no planes running today on account of mist. Mrs. Berst Is a resident of Erie, Pa. She was accompanied on her trip by her daughter, Lois. There was a mix-up In the press accounts of the victims of yesterday's accident. The Daily Press lists Mrs. Daisy v ule as the only Survivor. All the other papers say she perished with her husband.

BEGS IRISH TO STAND BY STATETROOPS General Duffy Urges Aid for Army From Local Factions. DUBLIN, April B.—An appeal to the Irish people to stand by the local faction of the Irish republican army supporting the Irish Free State was Issued today by General Duffy, commander-in-chief of she tree state troops. "At this time,” said the proclamation, ‘‘we should remember what the people did for every individual volunter during the war when times were dangerous. We are soldiers, but we come from the people. We should never forger the loyalty of the people to ns, when the penalty of their support was death."
STATE NEEDN’T BORROW MONEY Governor Says Tax Advance Will Meet Needs. According to Governor McCray,-It will not be necessary for the State to seek a further loan of money for use in the general fund. Advance payments of tax installments have been requested and received. The last balance on the books of the auditor taken April 5 shows $251,559.45 in the general fund and a total of $5,207,- j 998.04 in all funds. . A situation was created by the last Legislature when It was voted to use the 1 cent general fund levy for the educational fund which has created much difficulty. The general fund has to depend solely on fees under the present arrangement. The State's business has been affected in much the same other business has suffered In the past year. Fees coming into the general funds have been much less than formerly, Governor McCray said today. Nagging Tongue Tires City Judge SAN DIEGO, Cal., April B—Take out your pencil and Jot this down In your notebook as another very odd thing: The wagging tongue of a woman has been found useful—to Herbert Hayes, who stood before ihe bar of justice in city court here. Haves was charged with turning off the lights when he parked bla car. For an hour a Salvation Army lasstestifying in his behalf —detailed to the Judge the beatitudes of love for a paralytic father on the part of young Hayes. She refused to be interrupted with questions from the presiding official. The courtroom spectators sighed. It was a languid sort of entertainment. “That’ll do,” finally interrupted the Judge. “you’ve talked long enough. Give us a rest. Case dismissed.” Marriage Licenses Richard W. Weaver. Maywood.

PRODUCTION IN NON-UNION MINES VITAL Without It Strikers Feel Confident Government Will Act. GHOST WALKS! TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April S.— Indiana s striking coal workers returned to the mines en masse today—because It is payday. But they did no work. It is the last pay they will receive until the strike is ended. Today's payroll was unusually heavy because of large production during March. Government intervention in the coal strike depended today upon whether nonunion mines can produce sufficient tonnage to carry the Nation through the summer without drawing too heavily upon the depleted 65,000,000-ton reserve. Herbert Hoover. Secretary of Commerce, and other officials in Washington are closely watching reports from open shop fields, to ascertain if that production can come within a narrow margin of meeting the country’s day-by-day needs, it was learned at United Mine Workers' headquarters here. If it cannot then the Administration may take a hand in the strike, miner chieftans believe. Production by non-union miners during the first week of the strike totalled 500.000 tons. This is less than ordinarily is produced In open shop fields, because thousands of unorganized miners are idle in sympathy. The Nation, still under economic depression to a certain degree, consumes 1,000,000 tons dally or 7,<XK),000 tons a week. Government officials consider the non-union production thus far a minimum of what can be expected and are waiting to see whether the figure is boosted as the strike wears on. Union officers consider the production alnTSst a maximum on the theory that thousands of the miners outside the union before the strike started April 1 have since been converted to their cause. If that production is not quickly Increased to a .substantial tonnage—say 750.000 tons —the Government likely will act to prevent the reserve slumping to the edge of a fuel famine. Thus the entire fight centers in the nonunion fields, where hundreds of organizers for the United Mine Workers are said to be enrolling thousands of new members daily. Reports here declared nearly 25 per cent of the 263,000 unorganized mine workers had been initiated into the union since the coal wage scale expired at midinight March 31.
ORDERS GUARD TO COAL FIELDS SANTA FE, N. M.. April B.—Two companies of National Guard troops have been ordered by Governor Meehan to the coal fields at Gallup, N. M., to suppress strike disorders. MAY ASK HARDING TO INVITE OPERATORS WASHINGTON, April a—Members of the House Labor Committee today were considering going to President Harding with the request that he ''lnsist" that coal operators of the country come to Washington for a conference with the miners to end the coal strike. Such action by the President, the committee members believe, is one thing that can bring about a conference and open up the way for an <?arly settlement of the dispute. LEWIS FIRM FOR FIGHT TO FINISH NEW YORK, April 8. —More than 50.000 non-union miners have Joined the ranks of the United Mine Workers In their nation-wide walout. President John L. Lewis said today. This number, which represents seven districts, is steadily growing, he said. At the close of the first week of the coal strike, the union leader still stands firm for a finish fight and no compromise with the operators. NEW BUILDINGS AT MIAMI MINE TERRE lIAUTE, Ind., April B.—Despite.the coal strike, the Miami Coal Company will erect buildings immediately for anew mine north of here, it was announced today. Sinking of the mine shafts will not begin until the presont walkout is ended. 200,000 JEWS IN FULL SYMPATHY Two hundred thousand Jewish workers of New York pledged themselTes to aid striking coal miners “in every way possible" today. M. Keinstone, secretary of the United Hebrew Trades, sent a telegram to Secretary-Treasurer William E Green of the United Mine Workers, declared the mine owners' refusal to enter wage negotiation was a step in a gigantic open shop drive. "We hold your fight as the fight of the entire labor movement and will stand loyally by you ready to serve you in every way possible,” the telegram said. “The splendid manifestation of solldar ity shown in the present walkout of the miners will fill the entire labor movement with assurance for a better day foj the worker and frustration of the combined and concerted conspiracies to thi employers to rid themselves of the unions."
MOTHER JONES GOING TO HELP WASHINGTON, April B—Mother8 —Mother Jones, lifelong friend of the coni miners and veteran, of many strikes, announced today that she was “going up Into Pennsylvania and round up all the miners’ women folks and march on the operators.” "It is always the women who suffer the most when a big industrial battle Is on,” Mother Jones said. “I will enlist a battalion of women and aid the miners in winning their tight.” MARCH OF MINERS TO NON-UNION FIELD CHARLESTON, W. Va.. April 8. A march of union miners into the unorganised ‘winding gulf” coal fields will be started tomorrow according to widespread reports heer today. The marchers bound for Cookton from Sullivan, Raleigh County, will hold mass meetings at Sullivan, Sophia and other towns enroute, reports said. Losche Heads 11th Ward Democrats Albert H. Losche, candidate for the nomination of county clerk on the Democratic ticket was unanimously elected president of the Eleventh Ward Democratic Club at a meeting last night. Charles Brock was elected vice president, Silvey P. Leach, secretary and Mrs. Anna Markey was elected treasurer.

2 Medals , $249.66, Memory Lett for Kyne by Bunkie Author Recalls Incidents of Comradeship in Philippine Campaign .
BAN FRANCISCO, April B.—Two medals and $249.66 and an undying memory —those are the things which Scrgt. Henry J, Ryan, Seventh Canadian Infantry, left to I’eter B. Kyne, the author. Ryan and Kyne first met In the Philippine campaigns of 1898. Ryan was a corporal and Kyne a private. They were bunkles. “I remember one day at Guadalupe we were in the skirmish line under heavy fire,” said Kyne. “Ryan looked over at me and his glance grew stern as he yelled, 'Fan out a bit; not bunch; leave enough room between lines to let that lead go through.' ” Ryan took a fatherly Interest in the young private. At the end of the campaign the two parted—Kyne to gain fame and Ryan: "Well, the next time Kyne saw Ryan the latter called at Kyne's home here in a condition which the author d"s ribes ns ‘comfortably drunk.' • He came into my lair and we talked old soldier talk.” said Kyne. “When he left I usked him how much money he required to make himself happy nnd lie replied, 'lt wouldn’t be doin' me a kindness. old man, to give me more than slo.’ ”
Highways and By-Ways of Lil’ or New York By RAYMOND CARROLL (Copyright. 1922, by PubUc Ledger Company.)
NEW YORK, April B.—Tlie stage, after all, is not so bad ns it Is painted, the Rev. John Roach Straton of New York City, to the contrary. Leaving out of consideration the A1 Wood’s brand of bedroom farces and the occasional “dash ofpepper” shows from i’arls, we find that the stage is pretty much a family affair—-fath'-s and daughters, mothers and sons. l’;rot cs and sisters, to say nothing of any number of happily married couples all playing together !r. productions and sketches which most anybody’s daughter, sister or wife could with safety sit through without shock to their refined sensibilities. This other side of the stage picture comes forcibly to those who have seen George Cohan as leading man make love (stage and paternal) to his own daughter, Georgette Cohan, as leading woman In “Madelalne of the Movies,” a comedy written, staged and produced by Mr. Cohan. ’ Do you not find It strange at forty three years of age to be playing the opposite lend to your twenty-one-year-old flesh-and-blood daughter?’’ 1 asked of the Fourth of July comedian. “I am a family man, on and off,” he replied. "I played my own mother’s father at M. S. Robinson’s Eden Musee in Buffalo when I was fifteen and mother was thirty-eight years old. The whole stage Is a family affair, and my case is only one instance of many.” Asa manager, Mr. Cohan was asked for an opinion of his daughter ns an actress, and her opinion of him as a playwright. He said: “To the first query I will say that I never stage ‘dead ones’ and for her views, nothing can excite her. She is the champion of the world when it comes to keeping he* opinions to herself. She seems to be always amused.” Following up the theater family suggestion made by Mr. Cohan recently, probably of equal Interest is the appearance of Miss Cornelia Skinner in "Blood and Sand," with her distinguished father, Ottis Skinner, now on the road. The Skinners when at home occupy a New York apartment with Mrs. Skinner, who in stageland Is known as Maud Durbin. Cornelia still is in her teens, attended Bryn Mawr College and she has exceptional histrionic talents. In the play she is a grand lady of Spain, a small part for a starter, but she sings an old song, and once In Chicago, when the leading woman, Miss Madeline Delmar, was ill, she stepped in and played the wife of the bullfighter, El Gallardo, the part taken by her father. Jacob Adler, the venerable Jewish actor, is the Edwin Booth of the east side o? New Y'ork. This last winter his health has been poorly and we have to go back several seasons to bis superb presentment of Jacob Gordon’s great play, “Elisha Ben Aveazuyo,” in which his eldest daughter, Francis, played his daughter in the drama. Mr. Adler has two younger daughters who have appeared in various pliys, the Misses Stella and Julia, both of whom aspire to the English speaking stage. He has two sons, one of whom acts as his business manager, and a lad now In school. Cyril Maude, the eminent English actor, who endeared himself to the American theater-going public with “Grumpy,” lost his daughter Margarey through her playing in that piece with him. Margerey Maud met and charmed Joseph Burden, a wealthy New Y'orker, whom she subsequently married and then retired from her father's company. I am told that Blythe Daly once appeared in a play with her father, Arnold Daly. Then there Is Miss Louise Driw,
Kyne gave him the ten and permission to telegraph collect for more. In due time the $lO was gone and then a telegram came and another ten was dispatched. War broke out In Europe. Ryan went and soon came a letter to Kyne saying: "Os course I’m going to be croaked in this war. I have to make a will. So I have you as my heir. “Pay yourself the ten I owe you and, as for the balance, keep it In your pocket and whenever you meet some poor devil who bus suffered in this war, slip hitn live with my compliments.” Ryan died of wounds received at Vlmy Ridge. In due time Kyne was notified nnd received $249 60 the estate of Sergt Henry Ryan, Seventh Canadian Infantry So, if a Canadian soldier, "who doesn't seem quite all there" is given $5 by a stranger with the compliments of Sergt Henry Ryan, he can stop and shake hands with Peter B. Kyne. As to the medals, it took five years to unwind the red tape, but a day or so ago Kyne received them and a request to write an epitaph of eleven letters for Sergeant Ryan's headstone.
who npiemred with her noted fither, John Drew, In “A Single Man,” playing a role bearing no relationship to Mr. Drew. The late Mrs. John Drew was the best example for a mother appearing on the stage with sons and daughters. Whenever her bank account needed replenishing she would get up a company of her offspring and son nnd daughter in-law, Georgia Drew Barrymore, and her husband, Maurice Barrymore, her sons, John and Sidney, and Mrs. Sidney Drew. Sensntlon mongers who seek to ; .'*laim the stage as "“The bottom of- ,ojet,“ meet their greatest setback in the realm of vaudeville, where the 'heater family as a unit is traditional. The “Four Mortons," is a notable example of the family on the stage. For years tl> *" jyns Sam and Kitty Morton, to which was added their first born, Paul and Clara, making the quartette. Then Paul and Clara each branched off with Individual acts, their places being taken by young Joseph and Martha Morton. Then wo have Eddie Foy and his brood of seven, four boys and three girls. Brothers and sisters in dancing are legion. Willie Collier, the comedian, has a son “Buster,” for whom he had parts written into a number of plays. Lillian McKenzie, the vaudeville headliner ■friis appeared with her daughter, Fay West. Why go on? Enough Instances have been given to demonstrate that the stage has a sanctity of its own—that of the home. Just like all the rest of us.—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger oCmpany.

Many Women Need More and Better Blood
It is a fact proven by thousands of grateful letters that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is remarkably beneficial to young or older women. The most common ailments of women drain and weaken the system and sometimes result in anemia, nervous weakness, general break-down. Women overworked by family duties or overtasked socially find They Can’t Stand Anything Their nerves are all unstrung, faces pale, appetite impaired, sleep not sound nor refreshing. Hood’s Sarsaparilla gives the blood more vitality and better color, makes stronger nerves, and contributes to the length and enjoyment of life. It is agreeable, pleasant and convenient to take, and it embodies a long-tried and found-true formula for the relief of pale, weak, nervous and dyspeptic women. Hood’s Pills help as a laxative.
FIGHT LOOMS ON ISSUE OF ROAD BONDS County Commissioners Seek to Pass Measure Over Tax Board. Rumbles and murmurs of what may develop into a factional fight at the courthouse were heard today when It was announced that the Marion board of county commissioners had rescinded the $216,000 bond Issue turned down by the State board of tax commissioners. Immediately following this announcement, it was stated that a measure Identical to that rescinded had been passed by the commissioners. Carlin H. Shank and Harry D. Tutewiler signed the bill. It was not signed by Albert Huffman, the third member of the board, who disapproved the step. The Issue about which the threatened trouble may break is for the purpose of financing a five-mile road continuing from Northwestern avenue. This road is designated now as the Charles F. Hessong free gravel road. The State board of tax commissioners denied approval on the project a few days ago on the ground the specifications called for high priced materials which would result in no better mad, they contended, than cheaper materials. The specifications in the second bill are the same as those in the first, Mr. Shank and an attache of the county surveyor's office said. Rumotf-i around the courthouse have it that Carlin H. Shank and Harry D. Tntewiler, the members of the board who signed the bill, were "relying on the material men to fight it out for them over at the Statehouse this time.” Tutewiler and Shank let the contracts for the construction of the road to the Pttremeyer Construction Company of Terre Taute In February. Mr. Shank challenged the right of the State tax board to change specifications of a contract. He said, “If we're going into a fight as to material, all right.” Leo K. Fesler, county auditor, said he was against the measure because the taxpayers of the county were overburdened with taxation at the present time. There are pending three issues totaling $470,000. Os this sum, $250,000 Is for track elevation, $150,000 Is for the construction of buildings at Julietta and $70,006 is for the building of bridges. Mr. Fesler stated that he felt the other bond issues should be held up till the plaza bonds are paid for. Another objection brought by some of the courhouse wiseacres to the improvement of the road was the understanding which is asserted has been reached with the State highway commission that that body is to take over the road within the next venr. It is said that this is the first time It was ever attempted to "put over" a bill by rescinding it and then passing another identical measure. Mr Shank said some time after the action of the quorum of the commissioners was announced that he felt as though the State tax board had no authority to pass on the materials used, and asserted that the extra price which he has already contracted to pay would purchase materials which would last longer and give better service. The action of the State tax board was taken after ten taxpayers of the community through which it is proposed the road be constructed appeared before the boaid and filed a remonstrance.
ADMITS HE GOT SI,OOO BRIBE Jury Member Was Paid For Not Guilty Verdict , CHICAGO, April B.—Henry John Smith, a member of the Jury which acquitted Tom O'Donnell, Chicago labor leader. In a recent trial on criminal charges, confessed today to the State's attorney that ho had received SI,OOO for qualifying as a Juror and bringing in a verdict of not guilty. Smith named several men in connection with the bribery plot. Joseph Sweeney nnd Michael Stack, charged with complicity In the plot, were arrested. A grand Jury Is now investigating circumstances surrounding the acquittal of O'Donnell and other labor leaders. It Is expected that the grand Jury will vote indictments against those involved in the plot revealed In Smith's confession. Vladivostok Becomes Great Japanese Port WASHINGTON. April B.—Vladivostok Is rapldy becoming a principal Japanese shipping point, according to trade reports received by the Department of i Commerce. The Importance of Vladivostok for Japanese shipping is indicated by the fact that two-thirds of the total traffic through that Siberian seaport during 1921 was carried in Japanese bottoms, j For 1922 It is estimated that the quantity of cereals alone that will be sent from Manchuria to Japan through Vladivostok will amount to about 242,000 long tons, according to Trade Commissioner Mayer of Vladivostok. For the purpose of purchasing and exporting Manchurian products to Japan by this more advantageous route anew Japanese transport company known as ! “Vladlvo-Unio," representing a union of ’ Japanese import, export and shipping companies including the great shipping firms of Mltsutake, Suzuki, Mori, Mitsuie and Shosen Knlsha, has established headquarters in Harbin and a branch in Vladivostok. The commercial line of the Bassian Volunteer Fleet, which has been idle for some months, is to resume th > run from Vladivostok to Japan. An additional number of Japanese ateomers will probably be pressed into service. It is said. The steamship line. Count Kealzerling, is also renewing its activities. BOMB WRECKS SCHOOL.

She was nervous, had no color, could not sleep. She has been taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla and has improved wonderfully. Her cheeks and lips are red.” Mrs. Lizzie Foster, 801 Prouty Ave., Toledo, Ohio. ‘‘RHEUMATIC LAMENESS relieved makes me grateful to Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I can walk well.” Mrs. Mary A.

TO CONDEMN THREE PIECES OFPROPERTY City Attorney Frames Resolution to Secure All of Plaza Block, A resolution for condemning three pieces of property in the city plaza block, which were not acquired Jan. 2, when the property in the block was bought, was prepared today by City Attorney James M. Ogden for presentation to the board of public works Monday. Owners of the property refuse to sell to the city at the figures fixed by appraisers. The block is bounded by Meridian, Pennsylvania, Michigan and North streets. The State war memorial building will be erected on it. It eventually will be part of a plaza extending from St. Clair to New York streets between Meridian and Pennsylvania streets. The property to be condemned is as follows : Indianapolis Propylaeum, 15 and 19 East North street, appraised at $57,500. Altenburg Hotel and lot on which it is located, 531 North Meridian street, appraised at $118,500. Motor sales room and two lots at 527529 North Meridian street, appraised at $84,500. The association controlling the Propylaeum refused te sell to the city because it asks $87,500 for the property. The Atlas Investment Company asks $135,000 and sale of the property at 527-529 North Meridian street was held up because of complications due to a ninety- nine-year lease held by the General Realty Company. Alice I. nnd .Tames I. Dissette are the owners. The appraisers decided the owners should be paid $34,500 and the lessees $30,000 for their interests in the lots and Improvements. The lessees, however, desire more, it is said. The city has spent approximately $390,000 in acquisition of the other property in the block. NAB FOUR FOR BOND THIEVES Police Think They Have Gang Who Stole SI,OOO Bonds. BOSTON April B.—Four men were held here today as suspicious persons, when they were discovered trying to dispose of bonds stolen from a Catholic church In Aurora. 111.
