PAINTS JEWETT AS 'TAMBOURINE SHAKINGSINGER' Democratic Speaker Says Coffin Has Converted Former Mayor. A verbal brush that painted Charles W. Jewett, former Indianapolis mayor, as ‘‘a street corner orator for the cause of George V. Coffin,” was wielded by Walter Myers, attorney, when he addressed a Democratic rally Thursday night at Community hall, Tremont and Michigan streets. Remarks also were directed at the operation of "professionalism” in politics. Albert Stump. Democratic candidate for the United States senate in 1925, was a speaker. "I see by the papers that Charles

Jewett has been converted,” Myers said. “Once in his life he has put on a uniform, become a lieutenant and joined the Coffin army. Every night now he shakes his tambourine, sings praises on the street corner and feverently snouts, ‘Coffin sav®s, Coffin saves.’ "With all the zeal of a convert he digs up the dead bones of Bell and Parrott and shakes them at voters. Charlie must be getting old. For he rehearsas the lessons he used to recite more than fifteen years ago when he was being graduated into a ‘professional politician.’ He rattles the bones of Bell and Parrott to distract attention from his friends and allies today.” Aged Man Sent to Farm Bu Times Special NOBLESVTLLE, Ind., Oct. 25.

DEATH PARADES OF 14 CITED TO AID MURDERER Mother of ‘Santa Claus' Killer Says March Has Made Son Mad. Bv V nit cl Preg * HUNTSVILLE. Tex., Oct. 25. Fourteen doomed men have shuffled down the corridors of “death row" in the state prison here in the last twenty-one months to the tune of "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder.” The music came from a phonograph in the cell of Marshall Ratliff. waiting all those months for

action on his appeal from a death sentence. One man passed Ratliffs cell without the sound of his phonograph. He was Henry Helms, who went to the electric chair for participation in the robbery of a bank at Cisco, Tex., two -years ago. Ratliff was his partner in the robbery and wore a Santa Claus costume, since it was during the Christmas holidays. "Good-by. Henry,” Ratliff called as Helms went by, supported by guards. There was no answer. Mrs. R Carter, Ratliff’s mother, claims the march of so many men to death haa destroyed her son's reason. County Judge P. S. Singleton has called a sanity hearing for next Wednesday. Ncrexecution date has been set, pending action on the appeal. Art Judge Chosen ANDERSON. Ind.. Oct. 25.—A. E. Kapsinger, Indianapolis art authority, has been chosen to judge the annual exhibit of Anderson Society of Artists to be held at the Y. M-.C. A., Nov. 21 to Dec. 8.
