CLEVELAND’S BOSS MAKES RECORD AS AN EXECUTIVE Was Fired as Chief of Police and Comeback Was Unique, HAS $500,000 SURPLUS Cut Politics Out of City Affairs at Big Savings. By JOHX E. MARKHAM CLEVELAND, Jan. 31.—One day ten years ago, Fred Kohler, whom President Roosevelt called “the best chief of police in America,” stepped from the city hall without a job. Kohler had been “fired” ignominlously. As he left his erstwhile office, he declared that he had “been framed,”

'.A.

and allowed that he would “stick around for a decent burial." * • • A decade slipped by. Today, at fts end, Kohler, who was fired from the dingy old city hall, sits in the handsome new $3,000,000 building that replaced it, as boss of the works. Kohler Is mayor now, with authority to appoint his own chief of police. He has just finished his first year as mayor, with a $500,000 surplus in the city treasury, in place of the customary million dollar deficit. Kohler's greatest gratification comes from hearing those who elected him refer to him as “the best mayor in America.” Comeback Unique The story of Kohler’s comeback, while “sticking around for a decent burial,” is one of the most unique in political annals. The year he was “fired,” Kohler ran for the city council, and was defeated. Next he ran for county sheriff. He lost. He tried for clerk of the city court. Another defeat. In 1916 he was defeated for county commissioner. In 1918 his luck turned. He won the county commissioner post. In

r jeL

1921 he came out as candidate for mayor. All political organizations were against him. Kohler won on the novel plan of canvassing Cleveland house to house. "I’m Fred Kohler,” he would say, “I’m running for mayor, and I’d appreciate your vote. But If you don’t vote for me. I'll never know it.” Kohler tells how he managed to operate the Cleveland city government and save money, while other cities were crying for funds, as follows: Business for Politics “We substituted business for politics. When in doubt, politics always says yes. Business says no. That’s the answer. "We trimmed payrolls. Wo lopped off the loafers and the inefficient. The r.et result was a payroll saving of $1,389,264. “The total amount of work has Increased and no municipal activity has

suffered. Those working for the city have been given an honest day's work. “Political meddling has been eliminated in the police and fire departments.” The first of next year Cleveland goes under the city manager form of government, without a mayor. Kohler says he is not a candidate for that job. He says he is satisfied with having been Cleveland’s last maycr, now that he has had “a decent burial.” ALLEGED FUGITIVE HELD Police Say Ohioan Admits Having Escaped From Prison. Logan Drake, 21, Beverly, Ohio, and Orlin Springer, 23, Sandusky, Ohio, were arrested early today by Patrolmen E. C. Ball, Smith and Cottrell. Drake, the police said, admitted having escaped from the Mansfield (Ohio) Reformatory. Springer Is said to be paroled from the same prison. The men claimed they had just arrived here. Police said Drake had a blackjack and Springer an automatic pistol, cartridges and a flashlight. RAILWAY TO ISSUE BONDS Interstate Commerce Commission Gives Authorization.

HICKMAN WABASH College Glee Club will give a concert Thursday night at Caleb Mills Hall under the auspices of the Players’ Club of the Fourth Presbyterian Church.

Godtinuff,” which was offered on Monday night. There is more pleasing melody to “The Snow Maiden” than heavier Russian compositions. It Is melodious; pleasing and within easy appreciation of all classes of music lovers. The second act and part

TULCHINOFF of the third, which introduces a unique “comic" "LA JUTVE” ballet, has moments of genuine comedy. The comedy falls to the lot of Gabriel Hrjanowski as Bobyl and Varvara Loseva as Bobylicka. The make-up of these two singers added much to the enjoyment of the lighter scenes. Olga Kazanskala was heard as the Snow Malden. She has a well trained A THREE DAYS’ COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Chronic coughs and persistent colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is anew medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heels the inflamed membranes and kills the germ. Os all known drugs, creosote is recognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treatment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed membranes and stop the irritation while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to serious complications. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, catarrhal bronchitis and other form* of throat diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds r the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, Is not re. lieved after taking according to di- j rectior.s. Ask your druggist.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BOARD SEERS TO LESSEN DELAY IN SCHOOL PROGRAM State Bodies and Civic Clubs Asked to Approve Plans, The State board of tax commissioners will be asked to approve the build- . ing program of the city board of school commissioners before bids on new buildings are received. This was decided n a resolution adopted unanimously by the school board Tuesday night. Conferences also will be requested with the State tax board, State board of accounts, State board of health, Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Real Estate Board and any other civic body or commercial club interested. Nine Buildings Needed This action, Adolph Emhardt, chairman of the building and grounds committee, explained, was taken to prevent unnecessary delay in relieving crowded housing conditions now existing. lie said eighty-two classes are housed in portable buildings and temporary structures. Thirty-eight classes aie attending half-day sessions. Nine twelve-room school buildings will be necessary adequately to house the present elementary school populalion, ho said. This does not take Into consideration overcrowded conditions of high schools. Due torobjeetions from civic organizations and State boards, no school cosntruction has been started in Indianapolis for almost two years, Emhardt said. Election Promises Plans for the school buildings must, be approved by the State board of accounts and after bids are received i bond issues must be approved by the State tax board. Taxpayers may hold up construction by remonstrating to the tax board. In presenting the resolution Emhardt said: "The present school school board was elected on its promised building program and we hope 1 to avoid all delays in starting by j calling in all interested parties in : advance and getting their approval j of plans and expenditures.” A bill to amend certain sections of the sanitary sohoolhou.se law, permitting the erection of two story school buildings without a basement, was favored by the board and will bo presented to the Legislature. A temporary loan of $150,000 to the | local tuition fund was awarded to t*he ; Union Trust Company on a bid of 4.55 per cent. Only the regular bi-monthly meet-; Ing of the board will be held here- j after.

In the minds of practically every one, it is settled now and only the formality of an announcement awaits. Senator New will not talk about places in the Cabinet.

Would Change Rules “I would change the rules so there would be unlimited debate on any changes in the constitution or on any treaty with a foreign country. But I’d change the rules so that on any other subject the debate could be controlled. The majority party, whether it is Republican or Democratic, is entitled to a vote. It’s the only place in the world where you can’t get a vote. “Now, I’m pessimistic about the political situation and I have been.
