Ml COP MIES THREAT TO EXPOSE CITY DEPARTMENT
Miss Emily Holsapple Says She Will Tell of Conditions if Not
Given Right Work.
Threatening to make exposures regarding conditions in the city government unless she was given the sort of work she wanted. Miss Emily Holsapple, policewoman, issued a statement today, following Mayor Shank s announcement that he would put the three policewomen to work cleaning up housing conditions In the \\ est Side. Miss Holsapple, her partner, Mrs. Anna Buck, and Mrs. Hettie Brewer, colored policewoman, have been shifted from department to department in the last two days. First they were assigned to the traffic department; then to the city hospital, where they refused to work; back to the traffic department. and later were set to work checking up on rooming house licenses. Today they were shifted once more. Miss Holsapple said she had no complaint against the board of safety, but placed the entire blame lor her troubles on Police Chief Rikhoff and Captain Glenn of the traffic department. Makes Statement Miss Holsapple said, in her statement, that she is willing to do either juvenile court or boarding house license work. Her statement: “I am 100 per cent American and I will exercise my American rights. "Therefore, I refuse to go to the city hospital or to the west end to make the foreigners clean up. I am satisfied with rooming house or juvenile work, hut they (city officials! are afraid we will set hold of some of the law violators. They want to shift us so we cannot d<> any good. "My report will show that last month I investigated twenty-nine cases out of court and eight in court, dance halls, picture shows, comfort stations, etc. Now, if taxpayers of Indianapolis don't believe we earn our money, it is up to them. Blaines Glenn "Thursday morning Mayor Shank told the. captain to send us back to juvenile court. He immediately turned and said to Captain Glenn io give us a job in the traffic office. We refused to put stickers on autos. So Joe Hogue, city controller, has no place for us and said he told them so. He would not have anything to do with it. I believe Joe Hogue is too much of a man to be in the dirty game. “If we women were inefficient and not able to get anywhere, they would hold onto us like leeches, for that is the kind they like. “I did refuse to work in the traders' alley. I did refuse to stay in Indlanola Park, where they should have a militia instead of a woman standing there with a gun in her hand in a crowd of roughnecks. I refused to walk a district large enough for a horse. If this isn’t enough, we will come forward with some real dope. If they file charges, I will be there with bells on.”

CITY PLAIS WARD ERR MENTAL ILLS
Move Would Take Insane From County Jail. Plans for a psycopathic ward for the rare of the suspected and ad judged Insane were announced today by Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city sanitarian. About two years ago the need for the ward was shown and the plans taken up with the county commissioners, the proposal being that the city furnish a room at the city hospital and that the county carry the payroll of the doctor and staff in charge. At that time no action was taken and the question was brought up recently in a letter from Judge Delbert O. Wilmeth of the city court and addressed to Mayor Shank reporting on the conditions at the county juil, where the insane are now kept until they can be sent to permanent institutions. In Ills letter Judge Wilmeth said persons adjudged Insane were held at the county Juil on technical charges of vagrancy. Dr. Morgan’s plan provides for a ward at the city hospital with an expert psychiatrist in charge, assisted by a staff of trained nurses. The probable cost would bo $15,000 annually. “Indiana Is one of the few States that does not have the proper facilities for the insane previous to committment,” Dr. Morgan said, to house such a person In Jail is depriving him of his rights of citizenship and Is inhuman. "My opinion is that the situation in Marion County and Indianapolis is serious and that it is absolutely necessary for the city and county to get together and make provisions for a X>sychopathic ward.”

TAX ON GASOLINE MEETS APPROVAL
Vermont Survey Recommends Two-Cent Levy. The tax on gasoline for highway purposes has been approved generally in States where it is in operation, according to a survey completed by the Vermont Slate Chamber of Commerce. Governor McCray, who has received a copy of the survey, has asked the Vermont organization to send him sufficient for distribution in the Legislature. The survey shows that in places where a 1-cent tax is charged It should be increased to 2 cents. The Indiana proposal is for a 2-cent tax. Oregon. South Carolina and Maryland already have a 2-cent tax. In twelve States where the 1-cent tax was in effect, it was reported “just,” ’approved." and "working without complaint.” Arguments most striking in favor of the Lix were that it is equitable, necessary for road maintenance, general, and in proportion to the use of the roads. Some of the States provide that all the money shall go to the State highway commission, while others have laws that the county obtains half. States differ on where the tax is collected. Arkansas, New Mexico and South Carolina collect from the retailer. Kentucky, Maryland and Colorado collect from the 'wholesalers. Other States collect from the refiners. Estimates of amount of tax collected vary greatly with different States. Pennsylvania reaps $2,389,000 a year, Maryland averages $750,000 annually and South Carolina with a 2-cent tax obtained $900,000 last year.
