Radio MOTOR FOUND TO BE SOURCE OF RADIO GRIEF Serious Trouble Revealed Near Sixteenth and Pennsylvania. Tiie radio interference that has been bringing grief to the fans around Sixteenth and North Pennsylvania streets, has been found coming from the lighting plant of the Penn Motor Inn. The Times radio interference man found that the generator which makes the current for the building is in a bad condition as far as radio Is concerned. It is a 220-volt system that runs an air pump, r ater pump motor, six heat circulation fans, and the Neon sign. All the motors have some interference on radio. Volume Is Great The inside test was made and the volume was so great that it was impossible to tune out the interference at any point on the dials out on the street. The test proves that the trouble that all the apartment houses within two blocks, in all directions, were having on the radio comes from this point. The man in charge said that they had been working on this system for the last week and that this motor had been in operation for more than a year. In ‘he district covered by this Interference there are many large apartment buildings, also hundreds of radio sets, all grounded to the steam heating system in the apartment. Network Is Formed This same system forms a network in the basement of the garage over the motors, causing the interference. The water system of the city in turn is a pickup op- this trouble, rebroadcasting it over a wide section of the north side. The owners of this garage have been notified and it is hoped this w-ill be cleared up, so fans again can enjoy an evening at home, listening to their favorite stations. radio interference that has gV n the whole north side trouble has iseen partly cleared around College avenue and Seventeenth street. T SO street lights had bad insulates and have been replaced by the Ir dlanapolis Power and Light Comply. the constant A. C. hum still remains on the air in this section and The Times interference man and the power and light company are working to clear the air of this unpleasant noise. The Times interference man hopes to have this section cleared this week. If radio reception has improved any in the last two nights, please let us know by mail.

REGISTRATION ! BILLBLOCKEB Voter Draft Fails to Pass in Senate. Lacking but two votes, the permanent voter registration bill failed of a constitutional majority in the senate today. Another attempt will be made to pass it. Senator Winfield Miller, who sponsored the measure which already has passed the house, scored its opponents for criticising registration costs. The bill provides that the county auditor appoint deputies to take the first registration at 10 cents a name and thereafter the voters change their names on the poll book when moving into anew precinct. Signatures are to be checked under the bill’s provision. Its introduction was sponsored by the Indiana League of Women Voters. Senator Perry Johnson, Atlanta, switched' his support to meet the Republican committee’s wishes as he did on the primary repeal bill. Taking the floor against the registration bill he declared that it would cost the state $750,000 for the first registration and $75,000 a year thereafter. He urged that the state not be put to this expense “just for Marion county.”

Taggart, Full of Mischief as Boy, Loved to Play Jokes on Servants

SURPRISING people, the unexpected twist in life, was characteristic of Tom Taggart. , Frequently he would go into the garage of his vine-clad home at 1331 North Delaware street and glance sternly at the floor. His servants would stand in awe, not sure what was coming. “Why don’t you clean this place up. See here what I’ve found lying on the floor,” he would reprimand with a twinkle in his eye. His hand would show a wadded $0 bill. Employes would disclaim knowledge of how it got there. He’d give them the money and leave with a chuckle. It is told that during the few motor car rides which Mr. Taggart was permitted to take while ill that he invariably instructed the driver and relatives to take him “down to the Claypool or the bank.” The iesire to be in crowds, where life moved swiftly, was uppermost in his thoughts. Physician’s orders would not per-

PRIMARYJILL PENDS Modification Draft Waits Final Vote. Prohibiting voting by proxies, but throwing nominations for Governor and United States senator into state conventions, the Republican platform primary modification bill was being engrossed today, in the Indiana house of representatives preparatory to vote on final passage. Efforts to defeat or amend the measure on second reading Wednesday failed. By a vote of 50 to 38, the house defeated a motion from Representative C. Elmer Garrard of Montezuma for indefinite postponement. Then fifty-two representatives stood to table a motion of Representative William B. Calvert of South Bend seeking to give

mit drives into the business district. Forced on a diet several years ago, his greatest delight was to play “hookey” from the doctors, take nis chauffeur, Arthur Wesson, and drive to French Lick Springs, where he had large holdings. The program of the drives was always" the same, according to Wesson, for Mr. Taggart would stop at tli Claypool and purchase that which was forbidden him to eat—hardboiled eggs and chicken sandwiches. In the sun of an Indiana highway, with his car parked by the road, he would eat his picnic lunch and enjoy the “slip” he had given his dietitians. Mr. Taggart's morning rites at his home were to come downstairs, shake hands with his servants, and ask each one: “Well, and how're you this morning?” “Sure breaks my heart. He and I loved each other,” was the simple

proxies voting privileges in state conventions. On recommendation of the house elections committee, provision for use of Australian ballots in conventions was eliminated several days ago. This amendment will entail sending the bill back to the senate for concurrence if it manages to pass third reading in the house.

comment of James Marshall. Negro butler for Mr. Taggart for the last eighteen years, when informed of his death. “It was only yesterday that he said ‘Good morning, James.’ There was no one else like him.” reiterated the butler, with a shake of the head. Due to his ill-health, his meals in the last few years have consisted for the most part of baked apples, orange juice, oatmeal and toast. Mr. Taggart’s ability to remember names and faces was one of the traits which aided him to political success, according to his friends. “He had a great faculty for remembering names.” City Controller Sterling R. Holt recalled*. "He would meet a man in my pffice one day and call him by name the next. He always was kind to poor people and treated them the same as his wealthier friends.” To City Controller Holt belongs some of the credit for starting Mr. Taggart on the path to political fame. Back in 1886. when the Democratic ticket was picked around some party leader’s fireside, Holt went to the Union station restaurant, which Taggart was operating, to persuade Taggart to become candidate for county auditor. Taggart laughed at the proposal. “I remember we walked from the Union station to Illinois and Washington streets,” said Holt. “Tom had had no experience in politics and was doubtful as to advisability of running. Finally, he slapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘Well, I’ll run, anyway.’ “Later he came to me and asked that I become a candidate for mayor. But I told him I had too many business interests. ‘Torn, you’re the man,’ I told him. He was a progressive mayor and got things done.” Mr. Taggart avoided political speeches early in his career. His first public political speech was made in 1898 at Calvin’s Grove, Nineveh township, Johnson county. h?he late Senator Samuel M. Ralston and Mayor L. Ert Slack drove to the scene with Mr. Taggart in a carriage. Thomas Taggart joined Indianapolis lodge No. 56, Knights of Pythias, in 1883, it was announced today by Morris Breunig, master of finance. In his forty-six years of membership, Taggart supported many lodge projects. His principal activity was his contribution to the start of the fund for the K. of P. home at Lafayette, Ind.

WAR TO DEFEND GLORVOF STEAK Pork Chops Vs. Spinach in Proxy Battle. Bit Cut tut Pratt NEW v ORK, March 7.—The battle of the Porterhouse-Steakers and the Spinach-Eaters will be fought today and forecasts have it that the devotees to the more substantial foods will win. The Porterhouse-Steakers are stockholders in the Childs Restaurant Company who were ousted ."rom official positions by William Child;, co-founder of the company and admiral of the Spinach flotilla, when they lought his “no meat served here” signs in the Childs chain ’ating-places. Childs lost his battle for vegetarianism by returning to “corn beef and cabbage’* dinners but not before he had elbowed his opponents out of jobs in the company. Tlie rival factions are marshaling $37,000,000 worth of stock in “steak and vegetable proxies” in their fight today for control of the business at a stockholders’ meeting. Nightfall will see either Childs and his family in control of the directorate or William Barber, leader of the opposition and former counsel of the company and his associates back in the positions from which they were ousted. The alternative to the two above conclusions in the edibles’ quarrel is that a board of nine men, unbiased as to the value of food calories, will manage the company. Wall Street is of the opinion that Barber and his companions carrying the banner of crossed sausages in a field of meatballs will be victorious. Fire Routs 12 Into Cold SOUTH BEND, Ind., March 7.
