Republican nominee, declared in an address Friday night that no pledges or promises have been exacted from him by George V. Coffin. It was the first time he has hamed Coffin. The declaration was made at the Irvington Masonic temple. “No pledges or promises have been exacted from me by any one, and that includes George V. Coffin, Republican city chairman and leader of the Republican organization,” Glossbrenner said. The remainder of his address was a pledge of “business-like management ol the city." “the fairest of law em * :..t. “elimination of politic i < v business” and the appo. o. a well-qualified city purch. ,ent.” 1 Iks to Henchmen Pnor to the Irvington meeting he spoke in the criminal court room before political henchmen, courthouse hanger.s-cn and professional bondsmen, with four members of the county prosecutor’s office puffing cigars and pipe acclaim to his remarks. The “boys” listened attentively as he assured them “if you want business management I offer my services.” He asserted his belief in liberty for his fellow citizens. “I think I know how r to be a reasonable manager—but I’m going to try to stop the leaks,” he told the “boys.” Attorney-General James M. Ogden praised Glossbrenner at a meeting at 948 North Alabama street.

Says Party Can Not Lose The session ended when Ira M. Holmes, Republican election commissioner. in a "pinch-hitting” talk for be'a* 1 speakers, assured the Eighth vT'd crowd that the Republicans w 1 ■“ v’lv during the times he was a- s election commissioner ;no 'h l r "they are not going 10 lose tliis time, you can bank on it.” ••.Boyce and Ryan, the other commissioners, have combined against us. It has been imputed that elections held under me have not been fair. Whether I’m dishonest you’ll have to Judge, but the Republicans won easily each time and they arc not going to lose this time,” he amplified. The business record of Glossbrenner was lauded by Sidney S. Miller, former superior court judge, at a Second ward rally at Twenty-fifth street and College avenue. Brief addresses also were made by the mayoralty candidate and Charles W. Jewett.

PALAIS-ROYAL MAY BE PAINTERS’ HAVEN Spacious Deserted Palace Cited as Ideal for Artists. Bu United Pres* PARIS, Nov. ..—The historic Palais-Royal, once the dwelling place of French kings, and later the fashionable site of gambling rooms, jewelry shops and fine restaurants, may be turned into anew quarter for painters, if the project of two Montparnasse artists is realized. Virtually deserted by the Parisians and bereft of all its former glory, the spacious palace with its great central court, is set forth as .the ideal place for painters, inastmuch as the central arcades are B&med of rows of little shops where Ig® paintings could be exposed and up for sale, each artist or school Jng its own store. Snhp hundreds of apartments in ■ old palace, could be turned m to the artists and their famHp., and the spacious garden, which ~it.w is almost deserted, could afford an ideal promenade for those frequently the artist's colony.

Workers to Have Financial Interest in Business of Clothing Firm. With completion of a stock distribution to employes, recently undertaken by the Richman Brothers Company of Cleveland, which maintains a store in Indianapolis, the men and women who make and sell the product of the company will have a financial interest in the business comparable to that of the management. Employes of the company number 3,800. and virtually every one of them is a partner in the business, which manufactures and retails men’s clothes. Total value of employe stock holdings is $13,500,000. The company is unique among the great industrial enterprises of the world, in that it operates without time clocks or bosses. Early this summer, in celebration ok the fiftieth anniversary of the establishing of the business in Cleveland, directors of the company set aside 50,000 shares of stock for sale to employes at SSO a share. The market value of the shares is over $l3O. and the aggregate difference represented a profit to the employes of about $4,000,000. This was not a gift, according to Chairman N. G. Richman, but an investment in production. The company has found, he says, that the best and most diligent work is done by skilled employes who have a real ownership interest in' the business and the reputation of the product. The company has distributed stock to employes on three previous occasions.

JEWETT AGAIN HITSATSLACK Attacks City Purchasing Agent on Air. Stating that “'from the information that has come to me, which needs only to be verified, the city council could spend profitably much time in conducting an investigation of the purchasing agent's department,” Charles W. Jewett, former mayor, launched another attack against Mayor Slack ami,his administration Friday night over radio station WKBF. Jewett leveled his attack at John W. Holtzman, special counsel for ■the city in the Citizens Gas Company case; Oren S. Hack, corporation counsel, and Joel A. Baker, city purchasing agent. He reiterated his charges of statute evasion in the purchase of automobiles, stripped of certain equipment, in order to come under the $2,000 council approval clause. This clause requires that purchases of $2,000 or more be approved by the council. He again outlined charges that after Hack resigned from the board of works he became attorney for Dilling & Cos. and compromised its suit against the city for an allegedly exorbitant sum. Holtzman represented the city in the compromise.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DISCRIMINATION IS CHARGED IN TEACHERJIIRING Local Applicants Have No Chance, Negro Says at Church Meeting. Charging that local persons who w r ere applicants for positions in the city school system were without a chance, Dr. S. A. Fumiss, Negro, former member of the city council, urged the defeat of the present school board in a special address at Bethel A. M. E. church, of which the Rev. R. L. Pope is pastor. By inference, he referred to Negro aspirants. Dr. Furniss, declaring that the present system of hiring local teachers. is discouraging to higher education of young people, said: “If there is one question more important than another to us, it should be the management of our schools.” “Ten million dollars of the people’s money have been spent by the present school board in the last year. We should be interested because we are taxpayers. Expenditures Not Wise “If we are to judge by the charges publicly made, this was not expended either wisely or economically, to say the least. “I am opposed to the policy of placing the employment of teachers in the hands of one of the teachers or principal. “I believe, when everything else is equal, a boy or girl who has received his or her education, in part, here in Indianapolis, who has attended and graduated from schools of higher education and who is competent to teach should be given preference for employment in our public schools.

Home Applicant Ignored He asserted that “the home applicant does not have a chance.” “No matter how competent applicants may be. they are told to ‘go i south for a year or so and teach and : then come back,’ ” he said. L. F. Artis, assistant secretary of the Senate avenue branch Y. M. C. A., and active in the Intercollegiate Club, said, “there are more than thirty young people of our club who are competent to teach, being college graduates and licensed, yet they are given no consideration in our school system. Others constantly are being appointed who are no more competent and, frequently, with no more training. Because they come from other places, they seemingly are given the preference. Many Indorse Ticket Dr. Robert E. Skelton, Oscar Hightower, R. B. Shelton, Dr. Guy Grant, Attorney Forrest W. Littlejohn, the Rev J. P. Q. Wallace, Ward Wilson, Attorney R. L. Bailey, president National Association for Advancement of Negro People; Mrs. Carrie Crump, president of the Indiana Federation of Negro Women’s Clubs, are urging the election of the citizens’ school board ticket. After careful study of the present school situation and realizing that the present condition of our educational system is detrimental to the interests of our youth and the community, the Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance meeting at the Flenner house indorsed the citizens’ j ticket.

JEWETT SEEKS TO HIDE ISSUE, SLACKCHARGES Mayor Labels Attacks as Designed to Excite Voters’ Prejudice. Declaring that speeches of Charles W. Jewett are slanderous and designad to excite prejudice and superstition,” Mayor L. Ert Slack urged voters “not to be diverted from the real issue of Coffinism,” at a Democratic rally Friday night at Fountain square. About 600 south side voters crowded into the “old mule barn.” which now is used by Street Commissioner Charles A. Grossart for housing motor equipment. “I don’t try to figure out Jevcett’s motive, but he may be disappointed that he was not appointed attorney for the city in the Citizens Gas Company case.” Slack said. Refused Appointment “When he and his friends pleaded with me to give him the position, I told them I wanted a lawyer, and not a politician, to represent the city. That may be what’s troubling him. If it is he won’t recover.” Slack's statement that he refused to reinstate Roy Howell, former policeman and client of Jewett, to the police force because Howell’s car struck and killed a little girl, drew long applause. “There is but one issue in this campaign and that is whether Coffinism takes over city hall again,” the mayor said. “If I had taken Jewett’s advice and fired the Republicans I inherited from Duvall’s administration I would have had to dismiss Alfred M. Glossbrenner, who was a sinking fund trustee. “Who ever heard tell of a man kicking out a machine the day after it elected him to office. George Coffin knows that Glossbrenner won't kick him out.”

Sullivan Is Speaker Reginald Sullivan, Democratic nominee for mayor, who addressed fifteen other meetings Friday night, followed Slack. “The best kind of government for a city is not obtained by discord and strife. If I’m elected mayor I’ll be mayor for and of all. regardless of class, group or section,” Sullivan said. Henry O. Goett, candidate for clerk, a south side resident, spoke. The final party appeal will be made Monday at 6:40 p. m. over WFBM by Sullivan, Kirk McKinney, city Democratic chairman; Frank C. Dailey, candidate for Governor in 1928, and Albert Stump. RADIO STARS WILL BE ON BLOCK’S PROGRAM Gene, Ford and Glenn will Broadcast Sunday Night. When the Wm. H. Block Company stages its thirty-third birthday party in the studios of WFBM Sunday night, the guests of honor will be Gene, Ford and Glenn, WLW’s famous trio, appearing at the Indiana theatre this week. The “party” will go on the air at 6 o’clock, continuing until 7. More than a score of radio artists will appear before the WFBM microphones with Gene, Ford and Glenn as the headliners. The Block company was one of the first department stores in the country to employ radio broadcasting and present plans call for twenty-six Sunday evening concerts, a twenty-six-week program for boys on Thursday evenings and a daily half hour broadcast on the Pep Unlimited Club, WFBM’s early morning feature.

NEW CROPS ARE CONTEMPLATED BY y.SJUREAU Lands Reclaimed by Dam May Produce Cotton, Date Varieties. Hu 1 Hit' ll /•>. *.< WASHINGTON. Nov. 2.—Establishment of two crops never before grown in the United States and with an annual value of approximately $120,000,000 is planned by the agriculture depar ment on the 1,000,000 acres of desert lanu to be reclaimed by the building of Boulder clam on the Colorado river, the United Press learned today. Plans for production of about 800,000 bales of anew variety of cotton worth $100,000,000 yearly, and anew type of date tree w'hose crop will aggregate nearly $20,000,000 have been presented to Secretary Interior Wilbur by the agriculture department. Dr. A. F. Woods, chief of the agriculture department's scientific staff, said today a preliminaiy survery has indicated these two crop.;, which will not compete with cot ton or dates now grown here ar.d will flourish in the warm dry climate of Southern California land to be irrigated by Boulder dam water. “Through the w T ork of Dr. T. H. Kearney of our staff,” Dr. Woods explained, “we have developed a strain of cotton fully equal in quality to the Egyptian cotton now imported for manufacture of automobile tires. “By producing this new crop on the land reclaimed as a result of Boulder dam we shall have created an entirely new industry which will not compete any existing crop> Water will not be available below Boulder dam until its construction is completed six or seven years hence.

STATUES, SHRINES TO BUDDHA UNEARTHED Trace of Greek Art Noted in Finds in Afghanistan Excavations. Bit Science Service PARIS, Nov. .. —Some (TDOO statues and 500 shrines designed to hold the sacred relics of Buddha have been unearthed by the French during two seasons of archaeological exploration in Afghanistan. Though the subject is Buddhist the sculpture shows the unmistakable influence A f classic Greek art at its best, according to J. Barthoyx, in charge of the excavations. Traces of Greek art have been found in Asia before dating from the time of Alexander's conquests, but the masterly execution and number of the pieces only can be attributed, declared M. Barthoux, to the importation of Greek artisans on a large scale. The amazing variety of the racial types presented makes the collection of interest to ethnologists as well as classical students. A Greek Apollo is shown throwing flowers at the sacred Buddha while Scythian faces wear Phrygian caps, and Dante-like heads and figures might have been stolen from the stone carvings of some mediaeval cathedral. Fifty-eight years ago Akron, 0., was selected as the site for the first rubber factory west of the Allegheny mountains, and it now ha# the largest rubber industries of the world.
