Detroit is the mgst expensive city to live in. It costs 22 per.cent less to live here than in Detroit. In addition, comparative wages are better here, the average family income in Indianapolis being only 12 per cent less than in Detroit, the next highest wage city in the group. In other words, a man could work for wages 12 per cent higher in Detroit than in Indianapolis, but still have 10 per cent less than in Indianapolis, because it costs 22 per cent less to live here.

CARS PARKED ON PROPOSED SITE ! . FOR 810 PLANT | ; Special Judge Gause Lays Blame on Remy for Delay in Land Case. Fairbanks-Morse Compay today is utilizing the former site of the Marion County workhouse, TwentyFirst St. und Northwestern Ave., for parking space, storage of maj chinery and manufacturing on a sma'l scale, instead of erecting -a | nu ufacturing plant employing 200 ! persons, as was proposed. Failure of company and county officials to agree over acquisition of a spur railroad track and oneseventh acre of ground near the spur, resulted In thwarting plans for the new industry. Thought Tract Purchased The company believed the tract was purchased with the payment of $150,000, but county commissioners declared the county records were altered to include the track. The county desires to keep title on the track. Former Auditor Leo K. Fesler was indicted on a charge of altering public records because of the situation. Special Judge Fred C. Gause shifted the reason for the delay in disposing of the case to Prosecutor William H. Remy. “The defendant filed a motion to quash and the next move is up to the State. “We are awaiting Remy,” Gause stated. Remy was astounded when he heard of Gause's statement. Remy Shocked “Why, I never heard that before,” he said. “My opinion is that it is up to the court, which has before it the motion to quash.” Emsley W. Johnson, attorney for Fesler, is ready for any action. “The statute of limitations has run on that case, becuase the indictment has been returned for more than three terms of court,” he said. “But I don’t want my client dismissed that way. I want the matter to come bofer the court properly and let the court rule.” A Times reporter Friday afternoon found more than 100 autos parked on the northwest section. The clang and bang of machinery could be heard from the main building and several truck loads of machinery equipment and parts were brought into the east section of the grounds and unloaded. Rusty Tracks On the south part of the tract are rusty rails. The spur needs a netv bed before it could be used. The county is still occupying the garage on the southwest corner of the land. It was said no action to force termination of the deal with the county will be taken by the fifim. County commissioners said recently they will sell the supr and one-seventh acre to the company for sl, provided the deal “Was entirely legal.” LINCOLN AX DISPLAYED Hu I nitnl Press MONTGOMERY, Mo„ Feb. 12.

CIVIC BODY ASKS VOTE ON MANAGER Community Club Organization Moves for Election This Spring. \ SEEK TO BLOCK BILL Hearing on Measure to Save Mayors Next Week. The Federation of Community Civic Clubs went on record Friday night favoring an election on the proposed city manager form of government in Indianapolis this spring. At the monthly meeting at the Chamber of Commerce the Rev. Clarence G. Baker, chairman; E. O. Sn6then and R. O. Shimer were appointed on a committee to push the election. Action of the Federation, representing twenty-two local clubs, was the first step toward calling for an election this spring on the busi-ness-like form. To Draft Petition “We expect to cooperate with other organizations in this movement,” the Rev. Mr. Baker declared. "The committee will start at once compiling the latest data from other cities now operating under the city manager plan. “It is our aim to inform our organizations of the necessary steps and then circulate a petition adapted to the local situation. We are not contemplating a hasty change, but we are determnied that the city manoger plan is right and it is our duty to urge the plan be put into effect.” A city-wide committee, including numerous prominent business and professional leaders, has advocated the city manager form for Indianapolis for some time, but has made no definite move toward calling an election, it is said. To Fight Measure The Federation voted to make an effort to prevent passage in the House of Representatives of the city manager amendment bill providing that the mayor In office be allowed to serve the remainder of his term in event of the adoption of the new form. v The bill is said to be a move on the part of politicians to save the jobs of Mayor Duvall of Indianapolis and Mayor Herbert Males of Evansville, both threatened by city manager movements. The federation favored illumination of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, supported the proposed increased park levy and favored abolishment of the Public Service Commission. The Monument resolution requests the Legislature to Appropriate $lO,000 to provide lights. Slides Greased Members of the Evansville delegation in the House have “greased the slides” for the modification of the city manager plan bill, they think. Seeking to push the bill through the House as it was, the Senate Judiciary B was prepared to handle it Friday. Various Evansville members sought to have the bill sent to Judiciary B Committee, of which French Clements, Evansville, is chairman, and to report It out at once. Judiciary B postponed consideration of the. measure until next wee*, after receiving numerous protests to "railroading” the bill. A public hearing will be held. $200,000 Wanted for * Waiting at Church * Bu United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 12.—Her dreams of marriage to Robert Ames, actor, punctured by his marriage to & New York society girl, Helene Lambert, proprietor of a New York night club, has filed a $200,000 breach of promise suit against the stage star.

37 HARVARD STUDENTS FACE COURT AFTER RIOT Some Bandaged Heads Among Casualties of ‘Town and Gown’ Clash—Campus Police Protected Fighters. Bu United Press CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 12—Tossing off any inferiority complex developed by football relations with Princeton, 300 students of Harvard ran wild in the hours after midnight today.

Confusing the bluecoats of city police with orange and black sweaters, the students tackled . low, tripped, hurdled, slugged and In the name of good, clean sport staged such a riot that before the dawn came thirty-nine names were written upon police records. Some with heads swathed in bandages, others with blood daubed faces, thirty-seven students appeared in District Court today and pleaded not guilty to charges of disturbing the peace. These undergraduates and two civilians were in the riot, a “town and gown” clash, in which nine persons were painfully "injured and more than a score less seriously hurt. Additional arrests were prevented by refusal of private police on the Harvard campus to permit city police to enter the campus gates inside of which the bulk of the rioting students had retreated. The trouble began when, at a midnight show in the University Theater, students began firing fruit, vegetables and eggs at the actors and orchestra. The theater manager called police who drove the students out of the theater. In Harvard Square the students re-formed their ranks and attacked the police. A riot call brought reserves and the battle ensued. By charging the mass of students repeatedly, police succeeded in separating small segments of the crowd, arresting some and scattering others, while the main body of undergraduates retreated to the campus, where, under protection of the college police, they defied their enemies. Those under arrest were charged with disorderly conduct. Tail Light Measure Flickers in Senate “Where are you going to put the taildight on a horse-drawn vehicle?” This question by Senator Oliver Kline (Rep.), Huntington, halted the Cooper bill on final passage in the Indiana Senate Friday afternoon. The bill, introduced by Senator Bruce E. Cooper (Rep.), Stewartsville, would require the placing of tail-lights on all horse-drawn vehicles. Kline opposed the measure. He told his colleagues he was a "farm engineer” and entirely familiar with the problems arising from the provisions of the bill. The Senators admitted that they were not and the bill went back to second reading for amendment.

200 ARRESTED IN MOTOR CAMPAIGN Publicity of Drive Fails to Warn Violators. It would appear that Indianapolis motorists pay little heed to “Stop and Go” traffic signals, preferential street stop signs, or policemen standing near ready to arrest. A driv; oegan Monday by Police Chief Claude F. Johnson and Traffic Captain Lester E. Jones has resulted in more than 200 arrests to date. Included are thirty-seven men and three women who were charged Friday night. Municipal court judges, Dan V. White and Paul C. Wetter, have been co-operating with the police and offenders have been fined $3 and $6, with court costs suspended. Publicity of the drive seems to have had little* effect, for arrests Friday night were nearly as many as the opening day total. Seven alleged speeders and two intoxicated drivers were slated Friday night. The speeders were Frederick W. Collier,- 30, of 3488 Birchwood Av.; Louis Cox. 27, of Marion Apartments, 518 N. New Jersey St-; Edward Gallliue, 24, of 5830 E. Washington St.; Orville Williamson, 25, of 319 N. ICealing Ave.; Hugh A. Thompson, 23, of 1244 E. Washington St.; E. C. Watkins, 31, of 1026 Euclid Ave., and Monte Clark, 23, of Cincinnati, Ohio. Those charged with driving while intoxicated were Ambrose Kanally, 40, of 2047 College Ave., and Harry Hedges, 47, of Terre Haute, Ind. , BANKS, STORES OPEN Few Offices Observe Birthday of Lincoln by Closing. Indianapolis business houses and offices did not generally observe Lincoln's birthday today. Banks, Indianapolis Livestock Exchange, Federal building and postoffice were open for business as usual, as were all stores. Some of the offices in the Statehouse and courthouse were closed. All offices at city hall, except the controller’s office, were closed.

Purplefaced students filed outside. Then they yelled it off!

BUILDERS TO SEEK 5-DAY WEEKSCALE Union Workers' Wage Agreements Expire This Spring. BRISK FIGHT IS SEEN Say Saturday Half Days of Little Benefit. Indianapolis building trades unions whose wage Agreements with contractors expire, this spring will seek a five-day week, according to Charles Wilson, president of the Marion County Building Trades Council, when negotiations are begun on the new wage scales. Wage agreements of plumbers afad carpenters expire May 1 and agreements of all other trades, except painters, sheet metal workers and bricklayers, expire April 1, Painters, sheet metal workers and bricklayers signed two-year wage agreements last spring. Says Successful The five-day week, advocated by the American Federation of Labor for all industries, has been successful when applied to the building trades in other cities, especially Detroit, Wilson said. Whether or not the union workers will also ask for wage increases has not been determined, Wilson said, and will not be decided until negotiations are begun a few weeks before expirations of present contracts. It is unc.erstood, however, that the workers will seek hourly wage rates which will give the same weekly pay as they are getting now on a five-and-a-half-day basis. Ixse Time , V. Building trades officials point out, that under the present five and onehalf day week, the half day on Saturday is of no real benefit to the employers, as much time is lost in going to and from jobs. “We anticipate a fight when we try to put over the five-day week,” Wilson said. “The Association of Building Contractors at its convention in Indianapolis a few weeks ago went on record as opposing this plan. But we feel that it will be better for every one involved. It will furnish employment for the many tradesmen who are now out of work. That is one of the best features for the plan.” JEERED TEACHES’ LIKES REPORTERS Dock Crowds at Bermuda Unfriendly. Bu United Press HAMILTON, Bermuda, Feb. 12. Dock crowds jeered Frances (Peaches) Heenan Browning when she arrived here to recuperate from her ordeal in a White Plains (N.

Mother Heenan, the reporter and “Peaches” put up at the Hamilton Hotel, and lunched together yesterday, their first day ashore, in a quiet corner of the grill, whereafter ’Peaches” and tho reporter danced together. Possessed of S3OO weekly temporary alimony and the expectation that the court would raise the sum to $52,000 a year when a final decision in the While Plains dispute is handed down, “Peaches” lias decided to do considerable traveling, at least for several months. If “Peaches” ever married again, that is, supposing that her marriage to the big shoe tree and rubber egg man were dissolved, she intimated that she would choose a newspaper reporter. Asa class, “Peaches” think3 newspaper reporters are the nicest men she ever met. For the widely advertised eccentricities of her present husband, “Peaches” has only ridicule.
