•SHANK’S SLATE EASILY ELECTED AT REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION

COST PLUS FOR BUILDING NEW STATE PRISON Governor McCray Has Conference With Trustees. 2 REASONS FOR IT Bonus of $50,000 for ) Saving of Time Desired. The new Indiana Reformatory at Pendleton may be built on the cost plus basis. Governor McCray intimated today, following an all-day conference with members of the board of trustees and the superintendent of the reformatory. Two things may prompt the adoption of this method. Governor McCray said. They are a desire that the reformatory may be completed in the least possible time and thus win the $"0,000 bonus of folgate & Company, the purchasers of the old reformatory, and that the construction cost may be reduced below what the archictest's original estimate called for. Governor McCray reiterated his purpose to keep the reformatory eost at approximately $2,000,000. The first figures presented indicated that the cost would be nearer $3,000,000. CLOSE SUPERVISION OF EVERY DOLLAR. Close supervision of every dollar of expenditure under the cost plus system would be exercised. Governor McCray said, by the board of trustees of the reformatory and by the superintendent. If the work is let under general contracting methods it was pointed out, a delay -of several months in getting started would result and labor costs would be Increased because prison labor would not be available to a great extent, Under the cost plus system for part of the work the contractors could proreed rapidly and the State could use prison labor | advantageously, it was claimed. ' The program of construction for this summer calls for the expenditure of about $600,000. the Governor said The first work done will be in the erection of temporary wooden barracks which will serve to house prisoners and officials. The capacity of these barracks is expected to be 125 persons. This building will be of a temporary character only and will be used probably but a few months. POWEK PLANT IS ITRST SCHEDULED. First construction permanent buildings will be on the power plant. The plant, two Industrial buildings, which will be used for housing following their completion until the time that they can be used for industrial purposes, and |he main wall will constitute the program for building for 1922. The State has until September. 1923 to vacate the reformatory at Jeffersonville to receive the extra consideration offered by Colgate & Cos. Governor McCray said that he did not want the proposition confused with the operation of the rest plus system during war time where it worked at a disadvantage in the matter of cost. Joseph E. Henning, a member es the hoard of trustees, lives at Anderson and Is expected to spend considerable time at. Pendleton which is near WATSON TELLS HARDING SALES TAX WON’T W ORK gress Will Not Pass President’s Measure.

TARIFF BILL IS DECLARED AN OUTRAGE Democratic Senator Launches Broadside Onslaught. ‘FOR PROFITEERS’ i Exposure Demanded by Simmons and Supporters. WASHINGTON, May O.— Increased taxation. extortionate prices, sky high profits the return of the profiteers and profiteering of the World War —will follow the enactment of the McCtimber tariff bill, ■Senator Simmons of North Carolina, ranking Democratic member of the Senate finance committee, charged in the Senate today in a minority report. Simmons predicted that the “unheardof impositions" of the bill would Impose between $3,000,000,000 and $4,000,000,000 a year upon the American people, for the “benefit, relatively speaking, of a mere handful who fear they cannot maintain their present high prices and profits, and still further swell them at will, unless the people are further taxed, not for the benefit of the Treasury, but for the benefit of their own. private poeketbooks." The veteran Democratic leader tore into the pending tariff measure as one that would ‘ place the American people completely at the mercy of the greed and avarice of monopolistic ami profiteering Interests," who, he declared, had dictated to the Republican majority of the Senate how the till! should be written. MEASURE WAS H MI.EJ) AS JOKF. When the Fordney tsriff Ml! passed the It was. taken more ns a Joke than as a House these people regarded it as a monstrosity so grotesque and absurd that if was takin more ns a Joke than ns a serious at’empt at tariff revision.” Sim mons said. "It did not excite the people to any great degree of i larin because they felt sure that th.- Senate woultl rewrite If. and they expected from the Sen ate saner a< tion In their behalf. “In this expectation the people have been grievously disappointed That disappointment has grown ns they have studied the present bill, first into sur prise and then into Indignation at the audacity of the assaults upon their poeketbooks. This indignation is now culminating into a grim determination to resist to the utmost this attempted spoliation.” Simmons' report was concurred in by the other Democratic members of the committee -Williams of Mississippi, •Tones of New Mexico, Gerry of Rhode Island. Reed of Missouri and Walsh of Massachusetts. Simmons declared the "people will be satisfied with nothing short of a full exposure of this outrageous bill, which was inspired by the desire of its Republican makers to placate the subsidized interests at the expense of the people.” ACCUSES G. O. I*. OF AIDING •■INTERESTS.” In assailing the provision of the MeCuirber bill, which would authorize the president to raise or lower the rates fixe by It. Sinunons accused the Republicans of having clothed him with power to substitute the Fordney scheme ot American valuations for the McCtimber plan of foreign valuations, whenever and wherever those desiring the Fordney srhente can convince him that the scheme of placing embargoes on importations is essential to enable them to maintain present high profits, or advance their to still higher levels.

Stork Bondsman for Four Women JANE ADDAMS TAKES HAND Judge Conscientious, but Human

CHICAGO, May fi.- Four women, three with babies in arms and the fourth soon to become a mother were released from Jail here today by “humanitarian law" procedure. The women were sentenced three years ago to serve from ten to sixty days In jai! for contempt of court growing out of their refusal to abide by a strike injunction restraining them from picketing the American Cigar Company. Appeals postponed execution of sentences until this week. In the meantime the women had married and three of them became mothers. They took the babies to jail with them.

RYAN LEADS 2 OPPONENTS FIRST HOUR Effort Being Made by Manning to Form Combine. DISTRICT HONORS Garvin or Bell May Succeed Sallee as Chairman. Russell J. Ryan apparently held a substantial lead over James J. Moriarty and Joseph O. Manning in* the race for the Democratic county chairmanship when the meeting of the Democratic precinct committeemen .was called to order by Reginald H. Sullivan, shortly after i o'clock today at the Indiana Democratic Club. Last minute efforts were being made by the Manning managers to combine their forces with those of Moriarty in an effort to prevent the election of Ryan. Numerous informal conferences between the leaders of the different factions were held. Moriarty has insisted from the first that he is in the race to the finish for himself alone, and he seemed decidedly reluctant to make any eleventh-hour changes in his plans. KVAN FORCES VERY CONFIDENT. The Ryan forces were very confident when the committeemen gathered and insisted that regardless of any possible combinations they will win on the first ballot, and said that Ryan is assured of not less than 150 out of 205 votes in the convention. Great Interest eentered around tile selection of a successor Gw Charles A. Sailee. present district chairman. There are no avowed candidates in the field for this position, although a multitude of names hare been mentioned, those of Thomas 13. Garvin and Joseph E Bell being heard the most frequently. OPPOSITION TO DELL MANIFEST. There seemed to tie considerable opposition to Bell on the ground that ids i election would open up old political wounds, now almost healed, and many of the younger Democrats were urging the selection of a man who had taken tin part in the bitter faction fights within the Democratic party of the past few years. Jack Dtinn, John "Cocky" Shea nnd their friends were greatly in evidence working hard for Moriarty, while the Manning forces were headed by Thomas E. Riley, member of the Indiana Indus trial board and Democratic member of the board of public works under the Jewett administration.

Pear! was playing baseball with Mrs. Bell Rudder last night when the ball was knocked onto the roof of the building. The man climbed to the top of the building ft ad apparently stepped through a skylight, cutting an artery In his leg. lie tried to bandage the leg to stop the flow of blood as evidenced by the fact he had removed his shirt and torn it info strips. But he weakened from the loss of blood and was unable to apply the bandage before lapsing into unconsciousness. When Pearl did not return Mrs. Rudder said she believed she had gone to his own home by another way, and did not search for him.

Their motherhood was a later development beyond my jurisdiction and control.” | The Judge read the decision of the Ap peltate Court upholding his decision in ; sentencing the women nnd even com mending his nction.

The ('hlttese civil war is over. I "hang Tso Lin’s once formidable army Is broken into isolated detachments, which are fighting ochasional rear guard actions ns they fall back on Mukden. Chang 'Tso Lin himself now definitely eliminated from the political situation, is in flight to Manchuria. Ten thousand mutinous Chinese troops are reported marching upon Tslentsin to loot the foreign quarter. The whites are preparing for a desperate defense. These troops are the remnants of the shattered army of General Chang Tso Lin seeking revenge for their crushing defeat by General Wu Pel Fu’s forces. The situation is similar to that which existed in Pekin during the Boxer seige. The whole foreign population is taking up arms to assist in the defense, dispatches reported.

MAYOR GETS SUPPORT OF HIS ENEMIES William P. Freeman Is Chosen Chairman of Marion Central Committee Without a Struggle—Anticipated Battle Fails to Materialize as Jewett Faction Gives Up. MRS. A. R. ROBINSON IS SECRETARY William P. Freeman, Shank candidate for county chairman, was elected by acclamation at the county convention this afternoon. He was placed in nomination by Sherman A. Hendricks, committeeman of the Fourth Precinct of the First Ward, and no attempt at opposition was made. Jesse E. Miller, city purchasing agent, was elected vice chairman by acclamation, as were Mrs. Arthur R. Robinson, secretary, and George C. Forrey, Jr., treasurer.

In a speech to the convention Charles W. Jewett, former mayor, formally surrendered to the Shank faction. “Today I surrender and hand over to my successor the reins of leadership," he said. He reviewed the victories of the party since the Jewett faction came lm.o control. “We are proud of our accomplishments.” he said, “and of the great organization, Mr. Freeman, that we tarn over to you. “We hope the pluralities built up by the Republicans these past years may be increased by you, Mr. Freeman, and we hope you will have the same kind of cooperation we have had from the precinct and ward committees and the workers to the end that we may elect this fall the shining light of our party, Albert J. Beveridge, who, with his great ability as a statesman, will distinguish our State as well as our country.” “I say to you, all. Don’t go out of this room with any sore spot, any place,” Mr. Jewett continued. Turning to Mr. Freeman, new Republican county chairman, he said: “I pledge to you under the Republican party our heartiest sympathy and cooperation." George V. Coffin appeared and urged that "bear stories” be forgotten. William E. Keilley was elected district chairman. Twenty policemen were assigned to the convention. Before the surrender of the Jewett faction. Shank leaders feared trouble flight arise If the Jewett Lemcke-Coffin-Dodson machine attempted to prevent the Shank committeemen from voting for county chairman. A check of the 203 committeemen upon whom they believed they could absolutely depend showed 13S of the 203. Ninety three of this number are city employes and the remainder bound to the city administration by ties equally as strong, they said. Charles W. Jewett and George V. Coffin, leaders of the two factions which had hoped to defeat the Shank Armitage faction in the county convention, surrendered shortly before noon and informed the Shank camp there would be no opposition to William 11. Freeman I for county chairman and William E. Reiley for district chairman. Freeman and Reiley have been backed by Shank and Armitage for several months. Opposition to the Shank Armitage pro- | gram blew up when the anti-Shank sac- , flons realized they could control only 73 of tlie 203 Republican precinct committeemen in the convention. A meeting of anti-Sliank leaders and several Republican county candidates was held during the morning nnd the decision to sue for j peace with-Shank and Armitage reached. ! Both Jewett and Coffin telephoned their capitulation to Joseph B. Keallng, Republican National eommotteeman from Indiana, who relnyed the news to Mr. Freeman. Freeman carried it to the city ball. Freeman and Mayor Shank issued statements to the effect "(he war is over and ino hard feelings are left.” The mayor | said he would welcome his erstwhile enemies into the fold. I The udmlssion of defeat by Mr. Jewett marks the final dissolution of one of the most efficient political machines that ever ruled Marlon County. From 1914, when Democrats were swept out of office by the Jewett Roemler-Lemcke combine, until the spring of 1821. when Mayor Shank gave them Ihelc first beating, by win-, nlng the Republican nomination for mayor, Mr. Jewett, Charles O. Roomier and Ralph A. Lemcke held the ccMnty, so far a8 Republican politics went, in their hands. The defeat of Harry S. New in the primary last Tuesday was another blow and the old machine was completely scrapped when William Armitage lined up more than a majority of the precinct committeemen against them. MIGHTY PLEASED SAYS MAYOR SHANK. “I am mighty pleased with the way things turned out.” said Mayor Shank. “I am going to treat those fellows a good deal better than they treated me. I am going to welcome them into the organiza tion with open arms. "I am for the Republican ticket all the way down the list and Fm going to ask all the city employes to make this a Republican year all the way down. I j have no bitter feeling against anybody j and all of them that want to come in and make the Republican ticket a success this fall will have a golden opportunity.” ! “The hatchet is buried," said Mr. Free- I man. “We’re all Republicans and for i complete Republican victory. We have had an exciting, manly-fought contest, which reminds me of a story related by the Hon. Warren G. Sayre, Wabash. Ind., who in making a speech related that a spirited Republican contest was comparable to a cat fight, and just as a cat fight usually results in more cats, a spirited Republican contest usually results in more Republicans. "I appreciate very much the honor and 1 shall give Ihe office my conscientious es j fort. I shall be Ihe chairman but at all j times will cooperate and advise with Re publicans in and out of the organization.” Hopes of the Shank faction began to mount higher and higher this morning when a report came to the city hail tlit Coffin and Jewett had failed utterly to

HOME EDITION TWO CENTS PER COPY

agree on whom they would back for chairman in case they mustered enough votes to warrant nominating a man. It was reported Coffin insisted upon backing Schuyler A. Haas and Jewett desired to renominate Hendrickson. The deadlock was still in force when the council of war which resulted in surrender was called, it Is said. Besides the advantage of having so many committeemen on the city pay roll, the city administration forces gained assurance from a statement by Mayor Shank. He said opposition had sent a messenger to him Friday afternoon asking for a compromise on some candidate for county chairman “acceptable” to both sides and that he had sent back a reply ; lie and his cohorts will stick to Freeman and Reiley through thick and thin. ONE FACTOR IS DISTURBING. There was but one factor in the situation which disturbed the Shank leaders, before victory was assured. This was that many Shank committeemen had not received from precinct boards certificates of their election in Tuesday’s primary. It was said County Chairman Hendrickson, who controlled practically aft—the election boards, was holding the certificates. Armitage feared his opponents had ' “something up their sleeves,” Bince these ! certificates of election were with--1 held. It might be the Jewett-Lemeke 1 game. It was suggested, to try to prei vent committeemen not armed with cre--1 deiitials from voting or even from being seated in the convention. If this were , done, Armitage said he feared there would be a riot. This was one reason | for the policemen at the convention. MAY YOTE WITHOUT CERTIFICATE HE SAYS. Armitage and his legal lights fortified themselves with legal opinions to the effect, a precinct committeeman who received the most votes in Tuesday’s election was entitled to vote In the convention, whether he held a certificate of (•lection or not. The committeemen would get in the convention somehow, it was said, but the city hall politicians hoped force would not be necessary. STATEIIOI’SE JOBS PROMISED. The rival chieftains spent most of last night rounding up their clansmen. Both sides reported recruits gained and lost, for the “trading" was Intense. It was said (he Jewett Lemcke workers were promising committeemen jobs at the Statehouse, to offset the appointment of a long list to city jobs by the board of public works Thursday and Friday. Shank leaders said they were amused at this because they firmly rely upon promises of loyalty to Freeman and Kelley from high State officials. “Jim Watson and Joe Healing are the big men in Indiana politics today and the Statehouse is not going to have anything to do with discredited supporters of Harry S. New,” said one city official. Armitage and his lieutenants worked from headquarters at the city hall, where they have held forth since Thursday morning. Automobiles and trusted agents sped away from the city hall and back as th enigbt wore on. ANTI-SHANK FORCES AFIELD. Anti-Shank officers were not so easy to find. They appeared to have no particular headquarters, but spent most of their time In automobiles in the field. A late estimate of the situation by a Shank lieutenant said Armitage did not control one committeeman in the First ward, six in tlie Second, one in the Third, four in the Fourth, three in the Fifth, one In the Sixth, one in the Seventh, one In the Eighth, three in the Ninth, one In the Tenth, two in the Eleventh, two In the Twelfth, three in the Thirteenth, one in Washington township, five In Wayne and two In Perry. Seven were listed doubtful at that time. Os the 205 committeemen, 162 are from precincts inside the city limits and forty-three In rural territory. Shauk leaders admitted they were not so strong in the country as they thought they were in the city.

‘MaicniiT, J edge;’ Mule Had Far Too Powerful Authority “Yes. suh, jedge, I specs I done drunk some reg-lar ‘mule,’ for 1 don’ think no bonded stuff would ever a-got me in court this mawnln’ with fo' charges agin me!” declared John Bradswell, negro, “city”, in answer to Judge Wilmeth's question as to whether “white mule” or bonded whisky was responsible for his appearance in court. Bradswell, who still appeared somewhat dazed, was charged with drunkenness. profanity, disorderly conduce and trespass. Fellow workers, however, testified that he bore a good reputation, so he was released with an admonition and a fine of $1 and costs.
