BOOKWALTER ENDS LONG CIVIC CAREER

Park Board Head Attends Final Meeting—Honored by Colleagues. "I’m done, through, finished,” said Charles A. Bookwalter, former Indianapolis mayor, who attended Thursday the last meeting of the park board he will ever officially take part in. He was board president. Bookwalter wrote the final chapter in a career of twenty-four years in public office. His resignation takes effect Saturday. “I’m feeling kind of weak,” said the fiery leader who has battled many years against heavy odds in the local political arena, usually landing on his feet. But his steady step, aided by a cane, gave only partial credence to the words. Bookwalter would have remained in office, despite the fact MayorElect John L. Duvall has appointed another board, but ill health starting with a stroke in Washington, D. C„ last summer, prevented his last fight. But he’s with the board in spirit, he has told them. Albert M. Maguire, who had appeared uncertain about refusing to resign, today told Mayor Shank he would join his colleagues, Frank P. Manley and Emsley W. Johnson in fighting for the nonpartisan spirit of the park board law by refusing to resign. Bookwalter will go to Florida In quest of health, but will never lose his Indianapolis citizenship, he said. A resolution honoring Bookwalter was adopted by board members Thursday. FOOD COSTS OP AGAIN IN CITY Potato Prices Blamed for Increases. Times Washington Bureau, 13tS New York Avenue. WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—It now costs $1.61 in Indianapolis to buy food which could have been bought for $1 in 1913. And it costs $1.12 to buy food which could have been bought at this time a year ago for sl. And it cost $1.04 to buy food in November which could have been bought a month earlier In the fall for sl. The price Increases, according to the Department of Labor’s monthly food bulletin, have been rapid and general all over the country. The Increase in food costs averages nationally 59 per cent over 1913, aaginst Indianapolis’ figure of 61 per cent. No reason for the increases is assigned, but it is due partially to the big rise in potato prices, which were II per cent more this year than last.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘ADAM AND EVE’ PARTY LEADER FOIINDJUILTY Tea Table Toreador Goes to Prison Until He Is 21. , Bu Times Svecial * KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 18.— Lynn Bouchard, 17, teatable toreador and leader of the city’s fastest young set, , whose members held “Adam and Eve” parties in a notorious, smelly gambling house, was found guilty of manslaughter last night. The jury, which includes nine fathers, returned a verdict which will put the dapper Bouchard In the State Penitentiary until he reaches 21. "Oh, hell,’’ was the youth’s only remark as the grim faced jurors returned their verdict after the prosecutor had made a scorching denunciation of him and his set, branding their activities as those of “passionmad boys and girls who ought to be spanked.” The ponvictlon of Bouchard, who, after drinking a pint of alcohol and being denied the privilege of dancing

the Charleston In a north end Italian cabaret, drove his car into a truck, killing three of his companions, is expected to have a sobering influence on “flaming youth” here. Since the details of the joy ride became known, cabarets which have made a practice of catering to the younger set, which embraces subdebs and stenographers, college youths and shoe clerks and boys and girls in their early ’teens, by renting them private rooms for allnight orgies and providing them with synthetic gin, Jamaica ginger and wine, are being raided almost nightly, and some closed. An ordinance is before the city council which would prevent persons under the age of 16 from driving motor cars. COAL STRIKE IN STATE OF SIEGE Lewis Charges Operators * Trying to Break Union.
