Four of the nine former winners are to compete for the lion's share of the SIOO,OOO aggregate purse, of which the track offers $50,000.

ASK SHERIFF TO STOP WILD BOOZE ORGIES Conditions Are Disgraceful, Say Residents of Keystone Avenue. Twenty-five persons living on the Keystone avenue road northeast of the city today filed a petition wiih Sheriff Snider asking him to stop the “drunken orgies,” which they say are held on the road fr >m four to seven nights each week. The polition says: “We. the undersigned, request the sheriff to have an officer on a motorcycle stationed on the Keystone avenue road between Terrace Beach, Kali Creek, and Jtnvenswood between the hours of 6 ■ lock and 12 .'.'clock, midnight, to stop whe drunken orgies that occur from four to seven nigbt3 each week, in which people in automobiles endanger lives and property. The conditions are far too disgraceful for the people living on Keystone avenue to sit by and idly look on. We ask an investigation be made of the above conditions.” When Sheriff Snider received the petition he said an officer would be placed on the road to enforce the law at once. He said a full Investigation would be made and the law violator would be brought In and made to pay the penalty. J. H. Makin and Lee Long, who operate a chicken dinner “home’ on Keystone avenue, declared they heartily indorse any movemetn to enforce the law In this district. “We do not wish the public to be confused or the conduct on the road to be Mamed to any institution on the road.” Mr. Makin said. “Speeders and parties who use the road as a place of rendevous should be required to comply with the law.’’ Defective Flue Is Blamed for Fire Fire that started from a defective flue almost destroyed the home of Elizabeth Doherty. 824 North fhprman Drive, early today.

MAJORITY OF BEVERIDGE IS ABOVE 20,000 All Precincts Are Heard From in Primary Election Race. HE CARRIES 9 DISTRICTS With all precincts heard from unofficially the majority of Albert J. Beveridge over Senator Harry S. New foi the Republican nomination for United States Senator will be slightly In excess of 20.000. The returns show that Beveridge carried all of the congressional districts in the State except four. New cairied the Seventh District, Marion County, First, Twelfth and Thirteenth. In a pre-election statements giving their opinion of their strongest districts Fred I. King. New's manager listed the Firs*. Twelfth and Thirteenth and the Second he I s', while Clarence R. Martin, Beveridge's campaign manager, listed the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth and his calculations were borne out. Calculations of victory for New were based large! you the clis* riots containing the large cities of the State. This was borne out in the case of Ft. Wayne. Evansville, South Bend and Indianapolis. The Calumet district results were the greatest blow to Senator New. Pro-election predictions that Beveridge would run strong in the rural districts were borne out in almost every particular. Senator New's friends say the weather of the past six weeks may have been responsible partly for his defeat. The farmers, already discouraged over adverse times, have been held back six weeks by the constant and heavy rains. This was a culminating circumstance and spells further trouble for the farmer. Democrats say the fanner took his pent-up troubles to the polls and availed himself of the first opportunity to slap the National Administration. Long periods of unemployment in the great manufacturing districts further sealed New's doom, it Is said. Many thousands of voters apparently availed themselves of the first opportunity to give an indication of what would follow In November, leaders of the Democrats declare.

Socialist candidate for President In 1920, recently released from the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, where ho was serving a term for violation of the espionage act, would return to prison as a protest against the failure of the Government to free oners. This unique proposal was contained in a letter to Kate Richards O'Hare, one of the leaders of the "children crusaders,’’ who have threatened to picket the White House Officials of the Department of Justice said there was no legal method by which Debs could be returned to prison to serve out his full term. 3-Year-Old Tot Found Bathing Feet in River CHICAGO, May s.—Amerigo Gagliani, missing 3-year old tot, for whom hundreds of persons were combing the Maine Township forest preserve, was foe* and shortly before noon today seated on tinbank ox the Desplaines River enjoying the sunshine and dipping his t> es into the water.

NEW YORK, May §.—“lt is entirely possible for one man to love I**o per cent two different women, or for one woman to love 100 per cent two different men." Dr. Andre Tridon declared today, joining battle with Dr. David Forsyth of Washington, in the realm of psychoonalysists. Tridon. a leading auth >rlty in his line, was proof-reading his new book on “Love," and he declared his deductions on the subject were based on years of collection of statistics.

REFORM WAVE SEEN IN VOTE ON BEVERIDGE Pinchot’s Victory Is Feared by G. 0. P. Senators. RESULT ANALYZED Harding Administration Knows Drift. Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. CV FREDERICK WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON, May s.—" After Beveridge, Piuchot." Thn 9 tersely, in high Republican quarters in Washington, the result of Tuesday's primrav In Indiana Is interpreted and elucidated. The victory of one of the recognized leaders of the old Progressive wing of the G. O. P. is look- and upon as the certain forerunner of the nominatiun for Governor of Pennsylvania of a Republican who “fought. Id -1 and died” In the same cause. ,\s this week's events have produced the resurgence of Albert Jeremiah Beveridge, they are viewed as foreshadowing the triumph of Gifford Piuchot. It is not with the personal equations represented by either Mr. Beveridge or Mr, Pinchot that political analysts now are occupied. They see in the Indiana re-, suit significant e outstripping the fortunes r ambitions of any one man. What Indiana Republicans ha.e sail to the country and to their party, Judges of the facts declare, ts nc>t that they repudiate the Harding Administration. They allege there Is no foundation for that contention beyond the incidental circumstance of the Harding-New ir.endship. Indiana Republicans, it is pointed out. rather have put up a "stop, look, listen" sign which the entire G. O. I*, organization will Ignore at is peril. The warning they have given is that the time has come to regenerate the Republican party from within on constructive, progressive lines. If the warning is unlit eded, certain leaders are convinced, there will not be a Beveridge retrihu tlon in Indiana and a Pinchot reekon'ng in Pennsylvania, but a deluge which will carry reactionary Republicans everywhere swirling down the stream of Irretrievable disaster. Mr. Beveridge's strongest card In Indiana was tlie incompetence of the "regular Republican'' majority in Congress. He did not assail the Harding Administration or spek support because of hostility to it But the nation wide unpopularity of Congress, of which Senator New is a member and leader, was water on the Beveridge mill. The Beveridge vote ran like wildfire through the Hoosier farming constituencies. Although Indiana Is not nominally included within the farm bloc's country, that amalgamation has Its cohorts wherever there Is an agricultural community, and Indiana has thousands of farms. Many authorities today look upon the farm bloc as the nearest approach to the old Roosevelt progressive 'bloc" that now exist* (Continued on Page Twenty-one.)

RYAN APPEARS SURE TO LAND CHAIRMANSHIP Combined Forces of Opposition Only Can Beat Young Aspirant. Indications today are that Russel ,T. Ryan, who is baciled by the younger and more progressive element of the Democratic party, will lie elected county chairman at the meeting of Democratic precinct committecinen at the Indiana Democratic Club Saturday afternoon, unless there is some combination of the forces of James ,T. Moriarty and Charles O. Manning. Unquestionably Ryan will enter the convention with more precinct committeemen behind him than either of his opponents. the entire question coming down to whether he will have a majority on the first ballot. Ryan supporters are olaimlDg 156 out of the 205 committeemen, while Manning insists he has at least 125 pledged to him. The hopes of the Moriarty forces lies in a deadlock that might give them eontrol of the convention. According to stories which have been 1n circulation for some time Adolph Ernhardt, member of the school board, is bending every effort In Manning's behalf. Hollifield in Jail; Wife Will Recover Howard Hollifield, 43, 728 North East street, who shot Ills wife, in their apartment, a few weeks ago and tried to kill himself, was taken from the city hospital today, aud slated on n charge of assault and battery with Intent to murder. Mrs. Holllfieid is still in the hospital. She is expected to recover.

two, or one-twelfth in love with a dozen. “Two whole-hearted loves are possible for a man or a woman, but any increase beyond that means merely flirlaiion or promiscuity.” Tridon said. “The confirmed flirt is a woman who i lacks self-confidence, who must con- | stantly make new conquests in order to reassure herself of her charms and atI tractiveness. “The Don Juan is a weakling. He , moves from one attachment to another, , conscious always of his inability to hold his loves. “No, a man or a woman may love two different individuals fully, but three, five or a dozen—that is impossible. That is not love.”

PENITENT? WASHINGTON, May 3.—Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee today Rescinded action taken yesterday when they ordered a favorable report tio the Senate on the nomination of Nat Goldstein, St. Louis, to be internal revenue oollector there.

‘WHAT’LL BE DOING WHEN I COME LIP?’ Each of 13 Solons Is Wondering Since New Defeat. WASHINGTON, May s—There are thirteen Republican United States Senators today who are trying to answer this political problem : Did the Newberry case hare a decisive influence in bringing about the d'-f .if of Senator Harry S. New of Indiana? And: If so, what will it do to me? These Senators arc: Ualder. New York; Dupont, Delaware; I-'ranee, Maryland; Frelinglmysen. New Jersey; Hale. Maine; Kellog, Minnesota: Lodge. Massachusetts; Mi Comber. North Dakota; McLean, Connecticut; Page. Vermont; Pepper, Pennsylvania; Poindexter, Washington*, 3 ■ wnsend, Michigan. Up until the results came trickling in from Indiana the talk about popular reaction to the Newberry Incident did not interest the case-hardened politicians of the Senate. They had weathered wtiat they regarded ns many a similar political storm. Today they are giving the Newberry matter another and a longer look. FRANCE MUST PAY DEBTS TO GREAT BRITAIN Support of Belgium or Russia, Says Lloyd George, Can Prevent It. GENOA, May 5.--Interallied war debts are the club with which Premier Lloyd George of England is trying to swing France back Into Lne In the International economic conference. The British pre mier has conveyed a clear warning to France that she must choose between Belgium and P>r!fa!a in her future attitude toward Russia. Lloyd George has notified France that if she continues to hack up Belgium's opposition to Article 7 of the allied declaration of Kussinn conditions, there will be little oportunity for Sir Basil Blackett's debt [dan being adopted. Britain then will Insist that every nation pay up its war debts and be punctual about It. according to the British premier. Dead 3 Weeks , Gardrier Carrics Mill Township MARION, Ind., May 5.

NEW LEAD IN 7TH DISTRICT BELOW 2,000 Claims of Beveridge Leaders Borne Out. OFFICIAL JTOTALS N >minee for Senator Seen in Moral Victory. Claims of Beveridge leaders that Harry S. New would not defeat their candidate for United States Senator by more than 2,000 votes in Marion County, ore borne out by unofficial totals of official returns, from all the 205 precincts today. The unofficial tabulation gives New a majority over Beveridge of 1,821. Before the election New claimed the county by 7,500. Beveridge and Shank forces looked upon New's comparatively slight lead as a moral victory for them. The unofficial totals give Now* 22,831 and Beveridge 21.010. The total Republican vote was 43.811 and the total Democratic vote was 14.010, according to the unofficial total. The total vote 58,457, Is almost 20,000 higher than most politicians had looked for. The presidential vote in the 1920 election was 145,577 and the 492 primary vote 40 per cent of this. Democrats polled al most 24 per cent of their 1920 vote and Republicans 53 per cent. .JEWETT-LEMCKE SI-ATE WINNER. Most of the Jewett Lemeke slato of county Republican candidates were elected. Shank forces won in some con spicuous Instances, however.

Becker, the Rhank-Beverldge candidate. The unofficial totals in some races In both parties were so close it is evident candidates must wait for the official totals before they are sure of victory or defeat. Joseph P. Turk, Democrat nominee for Congressman, won from Woodburn Masson almost two to one. Other wet Democratic candidates had little- difficulty in winning. J. FRED MASTERS LOSES CLOSE RUE. One of the most exciting races on tho Republican side was that between J. Fred Masters and Kidney S. Miller for Judge of Superior Court, room S. It wai not until tho last few precincts began to roll up the total for Miller, slaied by both the Shank and anti Shank factions and the Ex Service Voters League, that he came out ahead, 14.472 to 12,490 for Masters. Judge William W. Thornton of rootu 1, slated by Shank, was returned victor over James M. Leathers in the final lap Official totals, however, may change the result.

GET ONLY $62 FOR LABOR One safe was cracked and an attempt was made to force another early today. Detectives believe that both were the work of the same yeggmen. The unsuccessful attempt was made at tho Conrad &. Shelly Garage Company’s office, 024 North Illinosl street. At the office of the Bearing Device Company, 521 North Meridian street, the burglars were successful. The combination of the safe was battered off and the door forced open. Tho thieves obtained $62. The robbers also took 67 cents from a cash drawer and scattered checks and postage stamps over the floor. Miss M. Wheeler, 531 North Meridina street, told the police she saw two men, one tall and one short, both wearing caps, walking in tho alley in the rear of the Bearing Service Company’s place at about 3 a. m. This is a private alley. The police found the glass broken In a door leading to this alley. Charles M. Conrad, one of the proprietors of the Conrad & Shelly garage, called the police. The thieves had broken tho glass from the front door and entered the office. The robbers dragged tho safe to a rear room, turned it over and battered the combination off. They forced the outer doors open, but failed to open the inside doors. The police believe tha burglars were interrupted and left through a rear door. WILL OBSERVE PRINCIPLES OF PARTY, HE SAYS Beveridge Makes Pledge for Conduct in Senate, if Successful. Albert J. Beveridge, Republican nominee for the United Senate from Indiana. In an Interview today declared if he Is ole*-ted he will observe the principles of the Republican party, even If he should not always abide by its policies. He was careful to distinguish between “principles” and policies. Because of the fact he 1* a former T’rogressive, Mr. Beveridge's attitude on strictly party affairs will be watched closely. Mr. Beveridge said he doe* not know all the Issues upon which he will wage the campaign, but lie set out the following things for which he stnads: 1. Repeal of the Sherman anti trust law and the Adamson law. 2. Revision of tlie lax laws with esperlat reference to income taxes to lighten the burden which he says Is hampering business progress. 3. Reduction of railroad rates. Although Mr. Beveridge ts setting out his attitude In advance of the Republican Si ate convention, which will adopt a party platform, his wishes probably will be given first consideration when national issues are taken up.

Confident of their control of the Republican county convention tomorrow leaders of the Shank faction today conferred in the office of Mayor Shank upon whom they would propose as their candidates for vice chairman, secretary and treasurer of the Republican county central committee. William H. Armitage, captain of the faction, declared he is positive of 133 out of 205 votes of precinct committeemen for William H. Freeman for county chairman. In the conference were Joseph B. Healing, Republican national committeeman from Indiana; Mayor Shank, City Controller Joseph L. Hogue, Purchasing Agent Jesse L. Miller, Corporation Counsel Taylor E. Groninger, W. C. Itobbs, a Beveridge lieutenant, and Armitage. The successful Republican county candidates were invited to attend a ovnfereuce at the city hall at 8 o’clock last evening. Shank, Armitage aud others watted for an hour and a half but no one appeared. When it was mentioned to Armitage that some of the candidates felt they should be consulted and recognized in the chairmanship fight, he replied they were given their opportunity to consult with him last evening and did not show up. “Why should they be consulted? We made this fight ourselves,” said Armitage. Mr. Armitage’s confidence was Increased after the board of public works in special session appointed twenty committee-

NICHOLS DUE IN CITY COURT FOR HEARING Alleged Bigamist’s Case Is Scheduled for This Afternoon Session. Hearing of the case of Fred W. Nichols, charged with bigamy, was scheduled this afternoon's session of city court. Court attaches expressed doubt regarding Nichols appearing personally for a preliminary When his case was called lrr city court soon after his arrest, Nichols was absent and his attorney requested a continuance until today. Nichols, 3?, lives with his family at the Buckingham, 3101 North Meridian street. On April 16, he was arrested and later was released on a SI,OOO bond signed by Eben H. Walcott, 3103 North Meridian street. The bond marked on the affidavit was for $5,000, but investigation showed that a turnkey failed to pay any attention to the fact that the court had ordered a $5,00) bond and released the prisoner tinder a SI,OOO bond which is the usual bond scheduled for bigamy cases. An affidavit filed by Edla M. Swensen of Minneapolis, caused Nichols' arrest. She alleged she married Nichols in Minneapolis while Nichols had a wife and two children with whom he lived in Indianapolis. On May 2, a telegram was received by the Indianapolis detective department with the information that Edla M. Swensen had appeared before the grand jury in Hennepin County, Minnesota, alleging that she and Nichols had been married Aug 4, 1920, in Minneapolis. She submitted a highly embossed folder inscribed “Our Wedding Day," it is said, and also some letters addressed to Mrs. Fred W. Nichols. An indictment is said to have been returned by the grand jury in Minnesota. Following the receipt of this information the police department started an Investigation to learn if Nichols was In Indianapolis. Detectives Rugenstein and Sullivan learned he had spent the first night after his release at his home in the Buckingham, but since that time he was supposed to be out of the city. Three Arrested for Theft of Whisky Ellsworth Cunningham, Jesse Cunningham and William Fuqua, three citizens of Tell City, were arrested today charged with complicity in the theft of eighteen barrels of whisky from the warehouse of the Krogman Distillery Company of Tell City. The men were arraigned before , Charles E. Ilnrmqn, United State* commissioner at Evansville and were re- ; leased on bond of SSOO. The theft of the whisky was discovered i after a fire in the warehouse last Novem- j her. It is understood that several addi- | tional arrests will be made In the same case.

when they reduced the price. Beauty experts made a counter attack and warned the young flaps to keep ; away from the barbershops. “They may cut you and mar your beauty with those old fashioned straightedge razors,” they declared. “Come to | us, we use safety razors.” “Bosh!” retorted Oklahoma City’s; leading barber. "Flappers don't like those new safety things. “Os course, I will admit some of my new barbers get fussed when shaving a flapper, but we haven't cut any one yet.”

men to city Jobs. The park board appointed two and two were put to work as inspectors for the board of public health. The board of works “rubber stamped” approval of the appointment of the men In Its department as fast a* Armitage and Mayor Shank nominated them. A promise to vote for Freeman and for William F. Riley for Seventh district chairman tomorrow afternoon was the only qualification the committeemen needed to get the Jobs, it was said. Practically all of thosa appointed went to work today. Anti-Shank leaders In the Jewett-I.emi-ke-Coffin-Dodson factions had not given up hope of winning, but they appeared fighting a losing battle. The city hall crowd's ability to pass out the jobs seemed to be too much for their enemies to cope with. M hile the conference to pick candidates for other offices than chairman was in progress, Armitage came out of the mayor’s private office and admitted to reporters that several other committeemen were to be appointed by the board of works this afternoon. He did not know how many, be said. There might be five or six. John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning and Marion County manager for Beveridge, said ha thought there would be ten or fifteen named. Walker and M. H. Camden, a Shank worker, checked over the list of 205 commit:eeruen in the county and declared there were 133 they were sure of for Freeman, and they hoped the total would be increased to 155. If the Shank predictions are true the anti-Shank faction will not name a candidate in the convention, which opens at the courthouse at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. If sufficient strength to make a showing can be gathered the antiShank faction will name either Schuyler A. Haas or former Mayor Charles W. Jewett, it was understood. Fred Crone of the Second ward and Harry Burns of the Fourteenth ward were appointed inspectors In the health department. Chester McCoy, committeeman in tn* Second precinct of the First ward, was appointed to a job by the board of public works, but this was withdrawn and McCoy called in for a second conference. It was said the city hall leaders got a report which led them to reconsider. The committeemen appointed by the board of works were as follows: George Van Stan, 1063 Cottage avenue. Fourth precinct of the Thirteenth ward, Junior Inspector, engineering department, SIOO a month. Ollle Powers, 1329 Fletcher avenue. Fifth precinct. Tenth ward.
