WANT ACTION ON . DETENTION HOME l Commissioners Are ProdI dett by Welfare Society. Although Faimily Welfare Society directors Tuesday adopted a resolution urging county commissioned to erect a modern detention home, county officials today were still passive on the mater, as they have been since objections were voiced to selection of the Holloway Apts., 225 E. Michigan St., for the home. The latest statement from the commissioners and County Attorney Clinton H. Givan is that James M. Davis, who holds the 99-year lease on the property, is making estimates for remodeling the location. The State board of charities,, -the State fire marshal’s office and .Juvenile Court Judge Frank J. La hr objected to the building on the grounds it could not be utilised without remodeling. Xo children have been housed in the place since it was taken over more than a month ago. Judge Lahr said he will not permit the place to be used until it passes investigation of State officials. The Welfare society expressed disapproval of establishment of a temporary detention home not suited to needs of the community. It also pointed out that five years ago, while the home was a.t 1102 X. Capitol Ave., the State charities liroup recomendmed anew detention home. Dynamite was invented in 1867 by i Xobel, a Swede. He also is the ' founder of the Xobel prize for peace.

SAPIRO NEAR END OF LONG INQUIRY

Reed Prepares to Close After Eleven Days.

Bii United Press DETROIT, April 13.—After eleven days of cross-examination of Aaron Sapiro by Senator James A. Reed In the Ford-Sapiro libel suit, its end was rapidly nearing today. Most of the odds and ends of testimony regarding the Jewish attorney’s alleged promotion of cooperative marketing organizations have been wound up, and the cryptic Missouri Senator took up the Tobacco Growers' Association as the final choice morsel. Sapiro collected approximately ?90,000 in fees from the'tobacco cooperatives, the largest single contribution of any set of growers, and the examination is expected to furnish a lengthy investigation by the cross-examiner. At the suggestion of attorneys for both sides, the court agreed adjournment would be taken Thursday afternoon until Monday, morning because of Good Friday. THTs makes it probable that Henry Ford’s appearance upon the stand will not take place until the middle of next week. GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE Nine North Side Churche* Will Unite in Afternoon Ceremony.

Know Your City “Make a Friend for Indianapolis ” SSOO in Cash Prizes WANTED—IOO,OOO LOYAC INDIANAPOLIS CITIZENS TO ADDRESS PERSONAL LETTERS DIRECT TO THE EDITOR OF THE CHIC AOb TRIBUNE, CHICAGO, ILL., IN REPLY TO THE* FOLLOWING EDITORIAL WHICH APPEARED IN THAT PUBLICATION UNDER DATE OF APRIL 3, 1927. The editorial, in part, reads as follows:

INDIANA IN THE DARK AGE Imlian!i has been one of the American states distinguishing itself by organized terrorism of opinion and conduct under the inspiration of masked gangsters under cover and fanatic dry* in the open. The Klan had a criminal, * Stephenson. foc._a leader, and he is now in the penitentiary. The drys had a leader, Shumaker, who tried to intimidate the supreme court and be is now trying to keep, himself from punishment for contempt. Although disclosures have revealed facts it has t>een difficult snd for the most part impossible to punish for the outrages against American principles. In recent years there has been a transition in Indiana from a neighborly, sane, tolerant, society to a condition of narrow-minded and savage bigotry which seems at times almost to have distorted the character of the people. Indiana people had been regarded as the true typo of the American democracy until this strange malady was inflicted on them. Prohibition is a doctrine which unbalances the mind. It is an enthusiasm which frequently produces a derangement, a monomania in which no sense of values can be maintained. The Klan is a creation "of primitives with elements of voodooistn, attractive to corrupt leadership and to the eonsUtueuts of primitive life, superstition, masked violence, secretive imbecilities, and terrorism in the name of high principles. Both the drys and the Klan and the two as they were fuse* together made their way into power through the inherent good intent of the Indiana people. They may not have seen that these enthusiasms, dangerous Juvenalities, and transgressions of law and order were bound to produce outrageous attacks upon the true authority of the state and the rights of the individual under it. It came about that American citizens in Indiana were judged by their religion, condemned lieeausc of their race, illegally punished because of their opinions, hounded because of their personal conduct. and a state of terror was substituted for a state of law. Intolerance took the place of Indiana amiability and good nature. Suspicion, timidity and violence came into neighborhoods which had been getting along without distrust or mean exhibitions of character. In some localities a person had to consider that if he avowed his religion It might ruin him. There are evidences that the Klan has been at least shaken, but there is no evidence that political administration has sufficient courage to oppose it. The Marion county grand jury in Indianapolis backed away from an investigation. The legislature did not have the daring to g<> through with it. Stephenson was put in the penitentiary, but at this writing Shumaker, of the Anti-* Saloon League, has not been punished for his nttnek on tho supreme court. The Klan is still a terror and the extra-legal government of Indiana whether it denies medicinal whisky to the sick or threatens a nonconformist with the Insh is still beyond the reach of the constitutional government. Outside of government there has been established a control animated by the spirit which produced the dragonnades in France and the inquisition in Holland. If this Is permitted to continue the consequence will be not only that no family of intelligence will consid* : making a home in Indiana, but the best people of the state will remove * the neighboring states, enriching them and leave Indiana to its primitive, fr atics, and ruffians.

In line with our “Know Your ;ity” contest to “Make Friends for Indianapolis,” we have repeatedly called attention to the campaign of misrepresentation and vilification being waged against Indiana and Indianapolis, outside the borders of the State. The above editorial is offered , as a sample of a more recent outburst. Indiana may have its bad “spots,” but it is 'not all bad, as this newspaper would have its readers believe. No city or State is perfect, including Illinois with its “Herrin” and its “Chicago.” Indiana is capable of and WILL do its own house-cleaning. Those who know .the REAL Indiana and the TRUE Indianapolis will never for an instant be swayed by the negative impressions created by the negative impulses of people who do not have the interest of their community at heart. ' Here is an opportunity for every loyal Indianapolitan to show his true colors. Answer this editorial in your own way. Write a short letter of less than 300 words telling why Indianapolis is the best city in the world in which to live and do business. Send us a copy of your letter—you may , win a cash prize. Our local press^—The News, Times and Star —have made admirable replies, editorially. It is now up to our citizens, individually, to do their part in upholding the traditions of Indiana, its achievements and beautiful romance of civic accomplishment. Hold your temper—please, and
