ARRESTS IN CITY DROP HALF DURING 192 Q

COFFIN FACTION STIRRED BY MOVE OF MRS. GARDNER G. 0. P. Women Protest the Ousting of County Representative. George V. Coffin faction leaders in Marlon County ere expected to meet soon to determine whether they will allow Representative Ella V. Gardner to return to the Republican caucus. "I have nothing to say,” because 1 have never received a copy of the resolution, was the response today of Representative J. W. Gbaugh, who presided at the gathering where Mrs. Gardner was expelled because she would not agree to the unit system of voting. Nearly 100 representative Indianapolis women unanimously indorsed the stand of Representative Ella V. Gardner against political machine rule at a meeting Thursday at the Claypool. Barrage of Oratory Following a barrage of oratory, during which the noliticians were handled a bit roughly, the women adopted resolutions urging the Marion County delegation in Legislature to reinstate Mrs. Gardner in their caucus from which she was expelled because of refusal to support unit rule, approving a 50-50 bill Mrs. Gardner will sponsor for equal representation of women in party 1 or-! ganlzation, favoring the primary j and denouncing abolishment of women policemen. Mrs. Gardner was ejected from all future caucuses until after election of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. She and three other legislators from this county favor Speaker Harry G.'Leslie, while Coffin faction members from Marion County are hacking Lemuel A. PittengFer, majority floor leader in 1925. Mrs. Gardner explained she wished to use her own judgment in voting without machine control. She described efforts of politicians to discredit her after she had been nominated in the Republican primary. Spunk Praiseil "1 glory in Mrs. Gardner’s spunk in stirring -up this hornet’s nest," said Mrs. Lennie B. Powers. "I am glad she has enough nerve to fight the machine. Mrs. J. .T. Browne said she was familiar with “dirty work in committees of the 1925 Legislature" and criticized the gleeful manner In which representatives in 1925 celebrated defeat of women’s legislation. Miss Elizabeth Rainey, former Marion County representative and Dr. Jeanne Mosely defended the men legislators, but. did not attack Mrs. Gardner’s action. Mrs. Mary Blanche Spellman warned of the danger of yielding to the organization when the caucus chairman “jumps through the hopp ns his master cracks the whip.”, She also scored “secret promises” of the delegation heads. The Indiana "Women's Republican Club met simultaneously at the Columbia Club but did not take up the ousting of Mrs. Gardner. Judge Will Sparks of Rushville, declared “women will purge politics.” APPEAL TOPIC OF SIEVE’S COUNSEL (Continued From Pago 1) had replaced his prison drabness, arose in his place at the counsels’ table. Before Stephenson could utter n word, the judge motioned for silence und said: “Just a minute. This court has not a particle of objection to hearing. Mr. Stephenson, but it must be kept In mind that this court is not a forum.” * "If you will confine yourself to the issues the same as any attorney arguing tills case I have no objection.” Stephenson proceeded to compliment the court as being the only one he has been before in his present trouble in which lie believed the case would be decided upon its merits alone. Then he made a typical Stephensonian speech, with many gestures und frequent impassioned flights of oratory, the burden of which was that passion, hatred and prejudice of newspapers and politicians had brought him to his present predicament, He briefly touched upon the law. Stephenson had barely ceased speaking when Judge Crumpacker snapped out the decision overruling the which Stephenson’s attorneys” earlier in the day had taken to the answer of the State attorneys to the Stephenson habeas corpus petition. This cleared the deck for argument on the petition itself. No Other Arguments The judge asked what argument the attorneys had decided to make and declared a recess while attorneys conferred. Five minutes later Kiplinger addressed the court and said there was no further argument. Whereupon the judge declared; the habeas corpus petition was denied and ordered Stephenson remanded to the custody of Warden\yalter H. Daly, forthwith. \ Stephenson lost the sangfroid which had marked his demeanor for two days. He slumped slightly in his seat and frowned. He got up hud asked the court to arrange the record so an appeal could he taken. The court granted his request. Then the prison guards surrounded Stephenson and took him to an ante-roaom, where he got his overcoat and- cap. Four Michigan City policemen cleared the courtroom and the drab little procession back to the waa on Its way.

SHANK PROPOSES ‘ONE-MAN’ PLAN LOR COMMISSION Lew Says Governor Is Boss of Body Breweries Met Same Fate. That a “one-man” plan, as a substitute for the present public service commission, had been broached before the special merger committee of the Chamber of Commerce, nearly resulting in a vote on a resolution to present the plan to the Legislature, was revealed today. The plan was submitted by Lew Shank, former mayor, at a recent closed meeting of the committee. Shank recommended that one man be appointed by the Governor as a public service commissioner, to act on all minor matters needing decision. In the event of projects involving large sums, attorneys for both sides should select four men to sit with the commissioner to hear the evidence in the case and render a decision. Governor Is Boss “The Governor controls the commission anyhow,” Shank declared. "Why should the taxpayers pay for five high-salaried men who follow the Governor’s orders? “It would be better to have just one man for the small cases and follow a jury system on the big ones. No one Is particularly interested in a case involving whether or not a couple of busses should run on one street or another—the one commissioner could decide that. “But when it comes to $55,000,000 utilities mergers, the people would like to have a little satisfaction, instead of feeling that the commission is being run by one man. Os course, the commission has backed into its shell somewhat, but it is still a matter of one man’s control.” Same as Breweries The public service commission will suffer the same fate of the old breweries, Shank said “The breweries ran wide open,” he continued, “and they finally were put out of business. So will the commission, if they continue to rim the same way.” Why the Chamber of Commerce special committee failed to adopt the resolution that was proposed after some discussion was not learned. “They nearly put it to a vote,” Shank said,' “but didn’t go through with it.” iOPOP’BOOZE FOR NEW TEAR’S Police Find Liquor in Cafe — Twelve Held. % Police continued to “mop up" liquor ready for New Year's eve delivery.

He and Yativas Milo, 2320 W. Michigan St., were arrested. When William Campbell, Negro, 429 Indiana Ave., went to his liquor trap to get an order, police in hiding pounced on him.

STRIKE WAS BIG 1926 EVENT IN GREAIJRITAIN Industrial Troubles Offset by Brilliant Achievements in Diplomacy. % l: n (nihil Prtx* LONDON, Dec. 31. —Next to the years of the great war, 1926 will ■ stand forth in the minds of Englishmen as the most momentous year of the last decade ahd possibly the most momentous of this generation, Looming head and shoulders over ull other events In retrospect stands the general strike In May, followed by the prolonged coal stoppage, two terrific jolts to recuperating postwar British industry, that are jointly estimated to have cost Britain upwards of two and a half billions in lost trade and lost wages. Not Only did business suffer under these blows, hut the labor movement Itself emerged staggering and weakened by the struggle. The giant trades nylons of the country with a total membership of nearly 6,000,000 workers, ended the year with deficits running into millions pf dollars. Many of the bitterly fought-for union privileges which had taken years to win, were wiped out with a stroke of tho pen when tho general strike collapsed ami the union loaders signed tho terms un- i der which their followers returned to work. Some Bright Events The year, however, was not whol- j ly a black one for England. Brilliant l diplomatic victories In the Held of, international politics, and the success of the Empire Conference in setting up machinery for the furtherance of inter-Empire trade brighten the prospects of European peace, and hold forth promise of a greatly increased volume of British manufactured goods finding their way to England's dominions, colonies and protectorates In the next few years. Tho outstanding events of the year may be summarized as follows: The general strike was called at midnight. May 3, in support of the Minora’ Federation, whose agreements with the mine owners had expired on April 30, at midnight, and whose members had been instructed not to return to work until new agreements had been negotiated. All England awoke the morning of May 3 to find the transport of'the country absolutely paralyzed. Tens of thousands of workless persons swarmed the streets of the larger cities, and minor rioting rapidly developed In many places. Except for the sale of food, all business came immediately to a standstill. The government promptly declared a state of national emergency, and called for 250,000 volunteers for the civil constabulary. It also called for great numbers of volunteers to drive trucks and maintain the rail transport services of country so as to keep the avenues of food supplies open. The unions agreed not to Interfere with the transport of food and medical supplies and agreed also not to call out the electric light, power and gas workers. Newspapers ( mlailed The strike hit the newspapers, which ceased to publish except in the force of one page mimeographed sheets until the government took over the plant of the London Morn-

ing Post and issued a four to eight page national newspaper called the "British Gazette.” The Labor newspaper. the “Daily Herald,” also continued publication throughout the strike under tho name of the "British Worker.” Troops with steel helmets and fixed bayonets were called out to guard the food supplies at the important docks, and daily long liner, of food convoys rumbled through the streets of London, accompanied by armored trucks and business-like service tanks. The handling of the crowds, however, was left entirely in the hands of the regular police and volunteer constabulary who, armed only with police batons, demonstrated such a masterly control of the situation that during the whole of the strike there-was not a single murder directly attributed to the strike. On May 12, the leaders of the Trades Union Councils, which had called the general strike, seeing that it was failing in its aims, fearing that the situation might get beyond their control, called off the strike with almost the same suddenness with which they had commenced it. Faith in British It is Interesting to note as evidence of the world’s confidence in the fundamental soundness of the British Empire that on the day after tho general strike was called off the British pound sterling rose above par. But although the general strike was called off, the miners showed no disposition to accept the terms that the mine owners offered them, and they refused to return to work. The government intervened and made strenuous efforts to end the trouble but the differences could not be bridged by compromise and the strike continued throughout the summer and into the autumn and early months of the winter. Meanwhile industry suffered heavily. Blast furnaces could not get coal and were forced to close. Factories shut down. Freight traf-

sic on the railroads fell off so badly that 45.000 railroad men could not be reinstated after the general strike and 200,000 were employed on a partl-tlme basis only. Merchants Suffered The purchasing power of the population fell off and retails stores in turn suffered. Millions of dollars’ worth of foreign orders were lost through the sheer inability of factories to produce goods wanted. Toward the end of the strike supplies of coal began coming In from Germany and the United States—but principally Germany—at the rate of 1,000,000 tons a week, but this was scarcely more than enough to supply the winter needs of householders and what surplus there was for factory needs came far too late to repair the damage done through the earlier loss of orders and markets. Economically, 1926 was a back year for British business. In the field of international politics Britain during the year scored three notable achievements. The first was the successful engineering of the Locarno treaties, a long step toward, inaugurating an era of better understanding among European nations. The second was the tactful handling of the delicate situation In the league of Nations in such a way that Germany’s entry into the League was not vetoed. Credit for both these achievements must largely be given to England's foreign secretary, Sir Austen Chamberlain. - (Succeeds in Diplomacy ”” The third success was the negotiation of an agreement with Turkey over the Mosul oil fields, a dispute that at one time was feared would bring England dangerously close to war with Turkey. Aside from the general strike and the coal stoppage, public interest in politics during the year mostly centered on the passage of the betting .tax, the elecricity bill, and the triennial meeting of the imperial conference at London. Despite bitter opposition and predictions that it could never be made to work, the betting tax assessing a tax of from 2*4 to 3 per cent on all forms of betting finally passed the House of Commons and is in successful operation today. It is estimated it will yield the treasury a revenue of about $25,500,000 a year. The electricity bill, sponsoring a $250,000,000 project for the Creation of a series of gigantic suiter-power electrical stations placed at strategic points throughout England, with feeder lines running through to the remotest hamlets, is now before parliament. Backers of the bill claim that only by the creation of such stations and the production of cheap electricity can England equip herself to compete on a better basis with the power products of the -United* States. Birth Rate Declines * Although tho marriages per thousand of" population increased considerably over previous years in 1926, the birthrate continued the slow decline that has marked practically every year since the war. Delegates to the Imperial Conference held in London in October "Und November achieved a considerable measure of success in the main aim of the conference, the tightening of the economic bonds of the British Empire. Great impetus was given to the closer linking of the empire through the extension of air routes and faster cable and radio services. Plans were also laid for the expansion of inter-empire trade, and the development of empire motion pictures to compete with for-eign-produced pictures. Although there was a slight relaxing of the Chinese boycott against British goods, the British employers of Chinese labor, during the latter months of the year, the boycott in one district or another continued throughout the year resulting in a total loss to British trade estimated In the neighborhood of $50,000,000. The successes of the Cantonese troops especially during October and November, paved the way It is believed for early recognition of the Cantonese government of South China.

TRADE SLUM ON WALL STREET AS YEAR CLOSES Call Money Advance Responsible—Drop Expected Soon. ’ j By E. Walter Mocliler.

To a large extent the advance in the call money rate to 6 * per cent was responsible and much of tho turnover was directly due to professional activity.
