REYNOLDS HOLDS NEW POPULATION ESTIMATE 1$ FAIR Chamber Secretary Predicts Rate of Gain Will Increase, “The census estimate of 342,718 as the population of Indianapolis is a fair, conservative figure, according to our own statistics,’’ John I>. Reynolds, secretary of the Chamber of ~ Commerce, today. He commented on the official report of the United States Census Bureau, placing the gain here since the 1020 census at 28,524. The estimate was based on the average gain from 1010 to 1920. “The city’s gain since 1920 apparently has been at about the same rate as in the preceding decade,” Reynolds said. “As the population grows, however, the rate of increase probably will, as in New York and Chicago, become greater. TK larger the city, the greater the percentage of new residents attracted. Not Growing “Too Fast" “Indianapolis draws new blood from all Indiana, Kentucky and other near- j by States. Its unparalleled position as a center of distribution, and its at- j tractions as a city of homes make it a magnet to native-born Americans. The percentage of foreign-bom inhabitants is smaller than In any other first-class city with the exception of Kansas City, Mo.” Reynolds said he was glad the city Is not growing “too fast.” “A gradual Increase in population is j much more healthy in the long run.” ' he said. “Beyond a certain limit a city can not absorb large increases r o ! advantage.” DAuiinsoN DEFIES BLACKMAIL ? t (Continued From Page 1) death and implied that he must be taken care of. Daugherty threatened to knock his ears into his shoes and let the matter go, at that, but gave it considerable thought, nevertheless. Daugherty is able to tell who this : man is. Mitchell is able to tell noth- I lng because he never was actually approached for blackmail, “Dot's” death Intervening to ruin the entire promotion for the schemers. - Unfortunate Choice As Daugherty’s story reached the police, the blackmailers could not ] have made a more unfortunate choice of a prospective victim. He was an Army officer in France and no type of man to compromise with treachery, Ymt in the first place he didn't have anything to fear, lie had met “Dot” King socially, and the mere fact of his knowing the girl meant no more to him than his acquaintance with Jim Jones. Police information points to one ( man, a close -associate of "Dot" King, as the one who conceived and urged upon “Dot” the plot to “take'’ Mitchell for “one hundred grand,” which is the j Broadway and the ringside patter for j one hundred thousand dollars. They ! were not able to find elirect evidence j against him, however, and contented themselves with rather well-aimed in- 1 sinuations. Dares Police Frederick. XI. Goldsmith, counsel for Albert E Guimares. the “sweet daddy” of “Dot,” took the initiative, accepting these insinuations as a challenge to his client. Assuming that , the police were referring to Guimares. ! Goldsmith dared' them to come and arrest him, and intimated that the , man is witnin a 5-cent carfare of po- : lice headquarters, although he has been among those missing from Broadway for several days. Guimares is a Porto Rican, but knows his way about Broadway and ’ his who’s who of the street. None 1 better. He is tall and swarthy with ! a manner best described as “UpStage." Not the least of his physical charm which captivated “Dot” King was a little black pet of a moustache v,hiqh accentuated the whiteness of his long teeth, until it disappeared from his lip a few days ago. He was not present when Goldsmith held forth in his defense, but he couldn't have added anything to the virtues with which the attorney et-dowed hint. Liked Good Time Guimares is neither a blackmailer nor a thief and he never struck "Dot” or took any money from her. From this premise, Goldsmith proceeded to venture that Guimares liked a “good rime” as well as Mitchell and paid as much for his pleasures along Broadway as the Philadelphia millionaire paid for his own. And, of course, never having heard of Mitchell. Guimares never heard of the letter Mitchell wrote to “Dot” from Palm Beach obout the time lie was resigning himself to the boredom of a luncheon for Princess Anastasia of Greece, in which the naughty millionaire expressed a desire to kiss “Dottie's” pretty, pink toes —and kiss them, and kiss them and kiss them. However much money Guimares lavished upon “Dot,” he is destitute now, Goldsmith said, ex’cept the fur coat which “Dot” is said to have given him and which, for all its having costs S7OO, "wouldn’t hock for S3O today." “Mitchell was a hit-and-run guy,” Goldsmith sparkled on. "whereas my fellow lingered along and paid the penalty in the end.” Frank L. Logsdon Missing Police today were searching for Frank L. Logsdon, 33, who has disappeared from home, according to his .Southeastern Ave. Logsdon is 5 feet S inches He brown felt

LABOR GOST RISE INCREASES PHONE COMPANY UPKEEP Chicago Engineer Says Carter's Figures Are 'Rough Approximation,' Evidence tending to show that in crease Ifi labor costs during the last ten years have cause I considerable rise In the expense of erecting, repairing and providing necessary additions'to telephone property was pro seated today by J. G. Wray of Uhlcasco, a consulting telephone engineer, as witness for the Indiana Bell Tele plume Company, in tin- rate invesfigatimi by the public service commission. Wrav, who said he v is consulting engineer for the telephone company ui Ft. Wayne, declared figures given previously by Earl L. Carter, chief engineer for ttie commission, were not representative of actual Increase in labor costs. Wray said Carter's figures represented “rough approximations.’ Using costs Ip 1914 as a 100 per cent basis, Wray showed charts to prove that New York telephone labor costs h ive increased to 221* per cent in 1920 followed by a decrease the two following years. Ho showed another chart indicating costs in Indianapolis had remained practically at a 100 per cent constant from 1914 to 1917, with a rise to more than 225 per cent In 1920, followed by a decrease by 1922. Wray said Carter’s chart showed relatively lower labor costs over th<- ( entire period than had been actually! experienced by telephone companies.; CONTRACT DISAPPROVED Tri-State Commission Will Probe In-1 suranre Problem.

j Indianapolis Golfers Question Inequality of Charges on Municipal Courses Here —Tends to Restrict Some Links for Weil-to-Do, Is Argument, AY hi It; increased fees for municipal golf courses go into effect ii n Indianapolis this season, Mayor Kohler of Cleveland has twice ! reduced rates there recently. Cutting4he fee from 75 cents a day to 50 cents, Kohler said: “I don’t see why golfers should pay $40,000 a year protit to the city for using the parks, while thousands of others use the parks and have their fun without paying a dime.”

Next Cut to Forty Cents A few days later Kohler announced a further reduction to 40 cents a day and a cut on season tickets of from $25 to sls. On the theory that players wanted charges increased to permit better regulation and lessen congestion the local board has raised fees as follows:’ Riverside course, season ticket from $lO green fee and $5 locker fee to $25 green and locker fee. Pleasant Run, season ticket, $3 to $lO. South Grove, from $5 locker and no green fee to $8 green fee and $5 locker fee. The daily fee at Riverside fs increased from 50 cr#ts to 75 cents. The city late last season took over the old Highland course, renaming It | the Charles E. Coffin course. Charges ; there are 75 cents dally or $25 seaj son green and locker fee. Double Season Ticket for $33 For $35 a season ticket good for both Coffin and Riverside courses, with one locker either at Coffin or Riverside is sold City officials say the High fees are necessary to meet expenses cf keeping up the courses, considered by many among the finest in the country. Golfers Raise Argument Many golfers question whether the city has a right to charge for use of public property and question the advisability of requiring more on one : course than another. The unequal fees tend to restrict the use of the j Riverside arid Coffin courses to playi ors financially fortunate and drive i those of lesser means to South Grove, j already overcrowded, it has been I pointed out.
