THIEF BATTLES HAND TO HAND WlTtn COPS Attempts to Shoot Officers; Overpowered, Admits Stealing. After staging a hand-to-hand battle with two motor policemen, drawing a revolver and attempting to shoot at them, a 29-yeer-old confessed burglar w-as overpowered and arrested early this morning. The man is Ray Coleman, 825 Cedrr street. He is held* at police hea quarters under high bond on a chargeof vagrancy. The fight occurred at 7 a. m., when Motor Policeman Dale Smith and Tim Shanahan, doing night patfOJ duty, saw a car parked in the middle of the College avenue bridge across Fall creek. Blow Breaks Blackjack Smith advanced to question the driver. He was struck a smashing blow' in the face by Coleman, and retaliated with a blow that broke his black jack. Coleman, injured only slightly, struck again, and then drew a pistol. Smith grasped Coleman’s wrist, and with Shanahan’s assistance, wrested the gun from him. but not before the youth had pelted both officers with blows. Even after he had been handcuffed, the youth continued his battle for freedom. In the car Coleman had been driving, which had been stolen from E. R. DOrey, 2602 North Pennsylvania street, police found a quantity of cigars, cigarets and meats. Steals for Family At police headquarters Coleman admitted the merchandise had been stolen from the Frohman lunch room at 108 West Maryland street. The restaurant was entered by burglars last Friday night and again Tuesday night. Coleman, who declared he had been driven to stealing to support a wife and baby, said he had no accomplice. Coleman denied he stole the automobile, but was unable to satisfactorily explain how he came to be driving it. Police searched the two rented rooms in which he lives with his wife and 10-months-old baby girl and found no evidence connecting him with any other robberies. A Half loaf of bread and a can of beans was the only food, found in the rooms. His wife told how he had been out of work since Dec. 1 and had left home at 5 a. m. saying he w'as leaving on another search for a job.

HOME RULE FOR SCHOOLSJJRGED ‘Clip Powers of Education Board,’ Senator Asks. “Clip the wings of the state education board and bring back to our local school authorities some of the power which rightfully belongs to them.” This was the plea of Senator Alonzo H. Lindley, Kingman, made at the weekly Indiana farm bureau legislative meeting at bureau headquarters Tuesday night. Among the means suggested by Senator Bindley for “clipping the wings” are repeal of the minimum wage and teacher tenure laws and passage of the Lindley-Durham senate bill repealing the schoc4 holding company act. Lindley declared that, In his opinion, if there w'as a provision made that no gymnasiums could be built that numerous schools now being constructed under the holding company plan, would not be built. Agreement was made on amendment of the bill to permit holding companies, but provide for appeals and remonstrations by taxpayers as is done now on other proposed public improvements. The sense of the meeting favored passage of the house bill putting tax valuation of utilities on a par with their rate making values. The federation declared against any proposed salary raises, such as the judges salary bill in the senate provides. RE-ELECT PLAN CHIEF George T. O’Connor Again Chosen Head of Commission. George T. O’Connor of Thomas Madden & Cos., will head the city plan commission another year. O’Connor, who was appointed on the commission by Mayor L. Ert Slack, was re-elected president Tuesday.

OUTLINE MINE AIDPROGRAM Report Made to Leslie on Pike County Situation. Relief, employment and further surveys are the* recommendations made for the destitute miners’ families at Little, Pike county, in a report to Governor Harry G. Leslie by a special committee appointed by him to visit the district. The committee consisted of Secretary John A. Brown of the state board of charities; Adjutant-Gen-eral William H. Kershner and W. H. Hacker, director of social relief in the Indianapolis schools. The report called attention to the destitution of families, estimated at about 250, and to the temporary relief now being afforded. It then recommended the following: That some outside agency, preferably the American Red Cross, make a survey of the problem and community resources for meeting it. That a citizens committee be organized to direct the relief under Red Cross guidance. That temporary relief be. provided by public and private agencies of the community. That if possible road building or other public work be supplied by the county or state, until other suitable employment is found. That families be encouraged to move where permanent employment may be found. Mrs. Alida J. Biglow, national Red Cross representative, has already entered the district to start the survey, it was reported in dispatches from Petersburg.

STARK SLAPS AT CRIME CODE AS INEFFECTIVE Bemoans Maudlin Sentiment of Society, Protesting Criminals. “Maudlin sentiment tow’ard criminals on the part of persons who are the victims of bandits and other law violators is one of the chief reasons for the lack of effectiveness of the present-day criminal code,” Prosecutor Judson L. Stark told the Indianapolis Lion's Club today at luncheon at the Lincoln. Stark pointed to the Indiana statutes that give smaller penalties to minors and the series of appeals that can be taken without the offender ever being incarcerated, as two other bad points of law enforcement. Don’t Weep Over Gunmen “Our criminal law and the decisions affecting it, place unmistakable emphasis on protection of the individual—the criminal instead of society—and public sentiment has not crystallized against that view,” he said. Why should people be so .solicitous for the individual while society trembles, hides and takes out insurance? The dangerous criminal comprises less than one-tenth of 1 per cent of our population, yet the population stands back, shudders and passes a law, increasing penalties. “Why should the half million people in Marion county weep over 250 gunmen who would enforce their will at the point of guns? Our law is no stronger than the average juror, and I’ve seen jurors turn guilty men loose more than once.” Juries Against Death Stark said it was “next to impossible” to obtain a jury that would inflict the death penalty. He said changes of venue to counties adjoining Marion county “can be had for the asking” and that public sentiment prevented giving death penalties for more than thirty years in these counties. “When -Will the public think more of widows and orphans and cease to glorify crime?” Stark asked. , He said the average age of the dangerous criminal is under 21 years. Start? recommended a law providing that once a person is convicted in municipal court and again on appeal to criminal court, he ought no longer to be presumed innocent and should remain in jail until his attorney can, on preliminary hearing, convince the supreme court that his appeal is in good faith. ELECTION AND DANCE TO END DRUGGIST SESSION 250 Pharmacists Will Hear United Drug Manager.

DRUGS EXCITE THE KIDNEYS, DRINK WATER Take Salts at First Sign of Bladder Irritation or Backache. The American men and women must guard constantly against kidney trouble because we often eat too much rich food. Our blood is filled with acids which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from overwork, become sluggish, the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hints; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or if you have rheumatism when the weather is bad. begin drinking lots of good soft water and get from your pharmacist about, four ounces of Jad Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acds of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source of irritation, thus often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.—Advertisement.

Co-eds Take to One-Hoss Sleighs

DELAWARE. 0., Feb. 6.—As long as snow is on the ground, co-eds at Ohio Wesleyan university will have the last laugh on school authorities who placed a ban on automobiles. Grandfather’s antiquated one-hoss open sleigh has been resurrected to supplant the -more modern means of travel. And the girls say it

serves the purpose much better. Already this college town is becoming accustomed to the tinkle of bells on the horse-drawn winter vehicles filled with smiling girl students. Miss Helen Bliss, a junior in the college of liberal arts and her sister, Esther, a member of the faculty, innovated the idea. They are from Boston. As to the pulling power for their sleigh the Bliss sisters have a stable of three horses—not exactly thoroughbreds—which they use for different occasions. Jupiter, a police dog accompanies the prancing steed. URGE ASSEMBLY TO FIX MANAGER LAW Federation of Civic Clubs Indorses Amendments to Acts.

GERMANS END FIRST DECADE OF JREPUBLIC Constitution Proclaimed in Berlin Ten Years Ago Today. BY FREDERICH LAUTON United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN, Feb. 6. —Germany today celebrated the tenth anniversary of its constituent assembly. On Feb. 6, 1919. the national assembly, which was to give Germany its new constitution and thus place the formal seal of law upon the birth of the republic, met in Weimar. A period of chaos and violence had preceded this first attempt at a return to order. When the Hohenzollern dynasty was overthrown in November, 1918, the time was rot yet ripe for reconstruction. Too many forces had been repressed or aroused by the superhuman tension of the four war years. So the first months of tire German republic were characterized by a complete “tohowabohu.” as German describe extreme turmoil. Then on Feb. 6 the new German legislative body convened and, after days of feverish effort, proclaimed a provisional constitution. Other events of a similar nature followed and, after a relatively short period, the permanent constitution was created and the peace treaty was signed with the allied and associated powers. Yeggs Tuesday night ransacked the office of the Walter Garten warehouse, 518 South Senate avenue, and after an attempt to batter open the safe failed, escaped with an adding machine valued at SIOO.
