BIG GYM PROJECT BAS INDORSEMENT OF TOURNEY FANS 'Present Inadequate Facilities Again Show Need for Building. Pans attending the Indiana high school basketball tourney at the State fairground today expressed strong sentiment in favor of the proposed State basketball gymnasium and field house. Members of the State high school athletic association board of control favor the gymnasium, which would do (away with the crowded conditions that existed Friday and today at the Exposition building, a survey showed. $250,000 Nucleus Possibility of the erection of a $500,000 structure at the State Fairground loomed following discussion of such a project by several Indiana basketball leaders. It is proposed that the field house seat between 20,000 and 25,000 persons. Talk of better facilities for handling the tournament and other big events has been rife for some time. It has been suggested that the $50,000 surplus of the association might be used as a nucleus for the building. Basketball officials cited the inconvenience and expense of uflUipping the exposition building each year for the tourney. From comment heard at the tourney it is believed that the board of control will meet soon after the close of the present tournament to launch plans' for erecting a inew home for Hoosier high school athletes and other monster meetings. The entire supply of 12,600 tickets for Friday and Saturday was sold before the doors had opened an hour Friday, several thousand fans being turned, away. Favors Plan “Twenty thousand persons would have witnessed the Friday games had we been able to accommodate them,” said K. V. Ammerman, a member of the Indianapolis high school committee promoting the tourney and a past president of the State association. Russell Clunie, another member, deplored the fact that Indianapolis has no better facilities. Roy Julian, Southport, past president of the association, declared the association contemplated such a structure for two years. Plans Drawn "We had the plans drawn for a house to accommodate 20,000 and it was to cost less than $200,000. It should be increased to at least 25,000, be said, if the association is to keep pace with fandom’s desire to witness the games. A site near the city on the south side was proposed when the plans were drawn, but some obstacles arose with the changing of the personnel of the board and the matter was dropped,” he said. A1 1,,. Trester association secretary, insisted traffic conditions demand that the building be located so as to accommodate motorists. “I believe the fairground is the proper site,” said Trester, “and as far as our investigations reveal there is no legal barrier to our erecting a State educational building there.” The teachers’ convention, fair exhibit and other conventions might also be held there.

‘FLAPPER’ OF 100 TO GO ON AIR Bobbed - Haired Denver Woman Will Broadcast Sunday. Bu United Press DENVER, Col., March 19.—A 100-year-old “flapper” will go on the ether tomorrow. “I’m 100 years old! I hope to live longer. I love Jesus and want all of you to love Him,” will be the message Mrs. Maria Bowen will deliver into the microphone at Station KFEL. She will speak from her wheel chair and her message will be part of the regular Sunday services broadcast by the “Church of the Air.” For more than forty years the bobbed-haired centenarian had not heard a musical note, because of an ear malady. Then one day Mrs. Jennie V. Dixon, a daughter with whom the aged woman lives, purchased a radio set. Mrs. Bowen adjusted the ear sets. Her wrinkled face lighted with a smile. “Why, it’s ‘Turkey in the Straw,’ ” she exclaimed. “I can hear it perfectly. Your dad used to play that on his violin.” Mrs. Bowen doesn't care if others use cosmetics, but she has never applied them in all her 100 shears, she said, proudly. Many of the splendid abodes of the aristocracy in Britain are being dismantled owing to heavy expenses of upkeep.

jARMY LAW RULES CITY AFTER NIGHT OF RACE CLASHES I ' Coffeyville, Kan., Scene of Disorders Following Attacks on Girls. Bu United Press COFFEYVILLE, Kan., March 19. —Scene of a night of terror, during which guns, rocks and clubs were freely used in a race riot, this city bowed today before the iron hand of j martial law. , As three units of State troops patrolled the streets citizens wore a belligerent air as they took stock of the ‘damage wrought during the night, when several hundred enraged persons attempted to avenge a crime committed against two high school girls by three Negroes. The girls, Julia Mooney and Margaret Akers, were dragged from their beds at 1:30 o’clock Friday morning and brutally, treated by the htree Negroeo, wlys had climbed through a window into their homes. Jail Attacked Last night's trouble started when the town learned that Negroes had been arrested. Immediately after this news spread citizens began to congregate in little gri)ups. Slowly the groups merged and the mob needed little encouragement to begin an attack on the jail. County officers refused to yield to the mob and the skirmish which ensued culminated in a victory of the officers, but resulted in th| most terrifying night Coffeyville has known since th eDalton boys, famous Western outlaws, shot it out unsuccessfully with the’ entire town after attempting to stage a double bank robbery. Officers won the initial battle when they resorted to tear gas bombs to respel would-be lynchers, who attempted to enter the jail from the top stories of the courthouse by placing a ladder from a bank building to the jail building and crawling across it. .Finally, after two of the Negroes had been released and the other spirited away members of the rioting crowd were allowed to enter the jail cells and, convinced that the Negroes cre not there, the crowd moved away. Ammunition Seized A hardware store was looted and all ammuni.ion in it confiscated. Two Negroes were seized and flogged. Negroes threw up fortresses and hastily dug trenches in which to seek shelter. One trench was dug in an alley across the street from the city hall and the appearance of that building today was silent evidence of the trouble. Every window in it was broken. Doors were torn frbm the hinges and the yard was littered with bricks, clubs, and oth?r implements of battle. None of the Negroes arrested last night are being held today.

NO EFFORT MADE TO SAVERAILINGS Works Body Says Bridge Up to Council Faction. No action will be taken by the board of works to salvage the railings of College Ave. bridge, which threatens to topple into Fall Creek, as recommended by the majority faction of the council, Roy C. Shaneberger, president, said today. “It is up to the council to repair the bridge and for the salvaging of the railings,” Shaneberger said. “Our budget was cut so much that we have no money for any work. If they don’t hurry up and appropriate money from some source the bridge will fall and there can be no salvage whatsoever.” The bridge, which has sunk approximately three feet in a week, according to street railway engineers, has not been affected by the heavy rains of the last few days. City Engineer Chester C. Oberleas declared that if the bridge withstood the high water caused by the recent rains, it would stand for the nexi three months.

After they left, Ben went to the unlocked door and crept in. Over in a corner was an old battened desk, in one drawer of which was a card. “Twelve tomorrow — pearls. 180 Sunset Dr.,” it read. Old Ben took the card and went directly to police headquarters, where he informed the chief of his find. He was generously thanked. Returning home to his little daughter Betty, he told her of his adventures, and she said, “O, if I only had those pearls.” Two days later he received a letter saying for him to call at 180 Sunset Dr. He was courteously received by an elderly man, who asked hint what reward he wanted. “Only an Add-A-Pearl necklace for my little daughter Betty.” he answered.
