Opportunity Shank Wants to Give Harrison a Beat to Demonstrate Knowledge MAYOR ALSO TAKES RAP AT WHAT HE TERMS GOVERNMENT BY CLUBS.”

IAYOR SHANK today offered to put Leonard V. Harril___| son, Chamber of Commerce civic affairs expert, on the police or fire departments to give him opportunity to “demonstrate his expert knowledge of police work." Harrison criticised the polioe department in a survey and speech before a luncheon. Shank made the offer in a letter to Henry L. Dithmer, Chamber president. At the same time the Mayor took a rap at what he termed “government by luncheon clubs." The letter to Dithmer: “Since writing you the other day regarding Mr. Harrisons report I have received a number of letters from business men and others on this subject. These letters suggest that you have Mr. Harrison fill out either of the enclosed application blanks (police and firemen), and I will see that he is appointed on one of the departments, providing he is mentally and physically all right and passes the required examination. A “Fine Beat” “We have in the police department a district. No. 32. which runs out northwest as far as Emrichsvilie. Any time the officer comes to a street or sidewalk, he is off his district. There is plenty of action in this district and an opportunity to demonstrate his expert knowledge of police work. These suggestions came from the letters received Let me know by return mall whether he will accept." The mayor made public letters he has received from business men. F. A. Hetherington Writes “I believe the public generally is tired of the critical attitude of the Chamber of Commerce, the leaders of which have little knowledge of the practical business of managing men,” wrote F. A. Hethering ton of Hetherington & Berner, contracting engineers. “I do not know of any who have stepped to the front and offered to do, by practical Illustration.” Robert M. Bowes, head of the Bowes Seal-Fast Corporation, denounced Harrison. E. A Perkins. 5457 Julian Ave., denounced "government by the Chamber of Commerce and noon luncheon clubs.” “I know of nothing in our theory of government that gives them such authority.” wrote Perkins. "I think our policemen, as men, will measure up to such a man as Harrison, even though they have not had the opportunity of education.”

gone Republican, and they might believe you. But Tom Taggart out of politics. Never. For so long has Tom Taggart, Taggart the smiling, friendly, genial leader, directed the destinies of Hoosier Democracy, that to the older generation it seems impossible to think of him in any other light. During that time he has mads Governors, United States Senators, Vice Presidents, and a President —almost. And on that “almost” hangs a tale of the ambition of years, dashed to earth Just when hopes

CHAMBER MAY'FILE PHONE SUIT If Decree Is Limited, Company Injunction Case Will Be Relatively Unimportant —Lesh Files Motion in Federal Court, COMMERCE COMMITTEE ASSURES COOPERATION Newspapers Commended for Stand Taken in Fighting Rate Increase Put Into Effect by Indiana Bell — Branch Considers Action. An injunction suit to restrain collection of increased telephone rates may be filed by the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Directors at a special meeting this afternoon approved a report of the sub-committee of the public service committee, containing recommendations that offi cers of the chamber be authorized to file such a suit if they believed It necessary in the interests of the public. The sub-committee, composed of Henry L. Dithmer, president of the chamber; O. D. Haskett and John B. Reynolds, general secretary, reported as to results of the conference with the commission Tuesday.

Cost Is $2,000,000 It said that unofficial figures of the commission indicated that the Indiana Bell Telephone Company will derive about $2,000,000 ad ditional revenue annually from In dianapolis by reason of the substitution of measured service for flat rate service under the new rate schedule. Attempts to obtain a modification of the injunction decree in the telephone rate case, under which the present increased rates were put In effect by the Company, will be the first step taken by the State in the proceedings before Judge George T. Page of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Federal Court Friday. This statement was made by Edward M. White, assistant attorney general of Indiana, today. If the decree is modified in accordance with niotion filed some time ago by U. S. Lesh, attorney general of Indiana, then hearing of the injunction suit filed by the company Wednesday will become relatively unimportant. Modification Is Asked Lesh’s motions ask the decree be modified in striking out sections enjoining the commission from interfering with establishment of rates "as will provide a fair return upon the value of the plaintiff’s property, used and useful in the service of the public.” It was upon sections of the decree containing these words that the company based its right to establish new rates and make changes in service classifications. In the event of failure to obtain a modification of the decree the State will then concentrate its attack upon the injunction suit filed by the company asking that the State be forbidden to pursue its own injunction (Turn to Page 11) FATE BEATS COPPERS Motorcycle Men Bun Out <>f Gas and Cannot Testify; Defendant Freed. Because their motorcycle ran out of gas, Oct. 13, 1923, Motorcyclemen Brooks and Trimpe could not testify •before Special Criminal Judge H. B. Pike that James A. Miller was driving his car. Miller had been fined $1 and costs in city court on charges of drunk; $1 and costs on charges of operating a car W'hile drunk, and given sixty days on Indiana State Farm and fined S3O on speeding charges. He was discharged by Judge Pike. The officers said they got within half a block of the car JNad had to stop. Later they saw Miller and three other men enter the car a little farther on and arrested Miller.

of realization were brightest. For years Taggart has wanted to make a President of the United States, and his failure to succeed was the cause of his announcement that he is through with national politics. For days the Indiana delegation had sat through the long, bitterly contested Democratic convention at New York voting solidly, loyally for Senator Ralston for President. Under Taggart’s guiding hand the delegation had succeeded with marked success in avoiding the pitfalls of antagonisms roused bx the warring factions.

The service was short; it was quiet and restrained, but the plain folks who sat crowded in stiff-backed pews heard it with misty eyes. Dr. Kenneth I?. Wells, pastor of the Edwards Congregational Church, conducted the funeral, assisted by the Rev. Jason Noble Pierce of Washington: Mrs. Coolidge Calm Throughout the service, Mrs. Coolidge, veiled and dressed in black, preserved her composure. She was seated between Secretary of State Hughes and the President. Next to the President was his father, Col. John Coolidge of Plymouth. Vt. Also with the party were Attorney General and Mrs. Stone and Secretary of War Weeks—the President's most Intimate Cabinet friends. Northampton’s tribute was not restricted to those who had filled the church. The populace was lined for many blocks along the street. The service opened with ripture verses of faith chosen by Dr. Wells, followed by singing of "Pilgrims of the Night” by the Washington quartette. Dr. Pierce then made further biblical readings. Dr. Wells pjlrl to the dead hoy the tribute of a neighbor and a former spiritual adviser. "The sadness of this home-coming binds us ail very closely together and makes us more than ever aware of the love and loyalty which we of Northampton bear toward these honored friends who have come back to us,” he said.

Triumphant IJfe "There is something quite triumphant about this life which has been taken away. It was moved by youthful enthusiasm and it had its beautiful visions and its consecrations to duty and honor. It was a straight, honorable young life, sweetly natural and still an inhabitant of two worlds, the material and the spiritual.” After a short prayer the quartette sang once more and the benediction was pronounced. The congregation remained as Mrs. Coolidge passed out on the arm of the President, followed by their son, John, and his grandfather. Then in slow march the old friends of Northampton passed before the open casket, high upon its altar. The presidential party left at 10:30 for Plymouth, Vt. RAINBOW VETS LEAVE Motor to Columbia, S.

Steadily the d<4egation cast Its thirty votes for Ralston, while the w'bite heat of the Smith and McAdoo hatreds destroyed the presidential chances of both.

Steadily he climbed until his vote stood at almost the 200 mark at adjournment Monday night. With 471 votes pledged for the next day when the final drive for the presidency was to be made, Taggart waa jubilant. His strategy

CAPTAIN SHIER FINDS TEN CROSSINGS WITHOUT ADEQUATE SAFETY GUARD Police Official Verifies Reports on Conditions Made by Times and Lists Five Other Points Where Ha Believes Night Flagmen Should Be. TOWER AND GATES AT NEW YORK ST. RECOMMENDED Office of-Nickle Plate Official Reports De Grief Out of City but That Warnings of Coroner and Rikhoff Are Receiving Attention. Ten crossings of the Monon and Nickle Plate railroads and one of Union Traction Company which, in his opinion, should be more closely guarded by flagmen than they are were found by Police Captain Ch”"les Sumner, he reported to Chief Herman F. Ri hoff today. Sumner reported that he found municipal code being violated at five crossings through failure to have flagmen on duty at required hours at night, as first was pointed out by a Times reporter who conducted an investigation Monday night

Sumner’s list includes the Thirtieth St. crossing where Miss Irene Newby, 22, of 2331 Martindale Ave., was fatally injured by a Nickle Plate ex cursion train Sunday night. No flagman guarded the crossing, although municipal code requires twenty-four-hour a day protection. Other Crossings Listed The captain also listed the Forty Second St., Sutherland Ave., Twenty Fifth and Seventeenth St., crossings found unguarded at night by The ’rimes. Thq, condition at Sutherland Ave is particularly dangerous, since no flagman at all is stationed there, Sumner said. He said he would urge the board of works to order not only the railroads but also the Union Traction Company to install a flagman there. Sumner made these recommenda tions: Twenty-Fourth St., flagman now on duty from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m., should he from 6 a. m. to midnight. Tw r enty-Third, Twentieth, Nineteenth and Sixteenth Sts., same con dition and recommendation as at Twenty-Fourth St. Gates Recommended Sumner said he would recommend that the Big Four, Monon Rnd Nickls Plate be required to install a tower and gates at the New York St. crossing because a dangerous curve prevents view of approaching trains, even for the present flagman. Several persons have been killed or injured at this point. A pedestrian met death May 12 when struck there by a Big Four train. DeGrief Out of City The office of F. J. DeGrief. general superintendent of the Nickle Plate, reported him out of the city, but an employe said the warnings of Coroner Paul F. Robinson and Rikhoff that arests will be made if the crossings required guarded by municiple code are (lot protected are receiving attention. "We are not dodging anything,” the employe said. However, there was no announcement that flagmen had been stationed. HIGHER RATE PREDICTED Tax Levy of $3 for 1925 Seen by City Controller Hogue.

and 1890. I remember the twelve years he served as district chairman beginning in 1890, and then his four years as State chairman. “It was in 1895 that he sw'ept into office for the first of his three-two-year terms of mayor. I remember his first jump into national politics in 1900 when he became national committeeman, a position he held for sixteen years. “He led the hopeless fight for Alton B. Parker in 1904 as national chairman. He made a mighty fine Senator when he filled the unexpired term of Benjamin F. Shively in 191$.
