MANN'S OUSTER TRIAL SLATED TO ENDTODAY Arguments Will Conclude Hearing of Accused Highway Head. Arguments were to be concluded this afternoon in the ouster trial X>f Charles W. Mann, Republican county highway superintendent, before county commissioners. The Democratic commissioners Seek to replace Charles Mann with John S. Mann, their own appointee. Charles Mann claims that he has two more years to serve and that he can not be removed. Charges that George V. Coffin, county G. O. P. boss, is backing the move to keep Charles Mann in office, despite his suspension by commissioners, were made at the trial Monday. Charles Mann is charged with neglect of duty, malfeasance and •incompctency. Denounce Coffin Link “If you will permit, we will prove that Boss Coffin is trying to keep this man in office, ’’ Ernest T. Brown, attorney, who is prosecuting the charges against Mann, declared at the trial. Democratic commissioners, Thomas Ellis and Dow W. Vorhies have denounced Mann’s connections with the Coffin faction in politics. “The people of Marion county have no faith in George V. Coffin, nor any man appointed by him, and neither do we,” Ellis and Vorhies said. “It is out intention to sweep the last traces of Cofflnism from the I courthouse.” Opponents of Charles Mann point j out that he was appointed by John ; E. Shearer and Charles O. Sutton, both former commissioners and Coffin lieutenants. Shearer Goes on Stand Shearer was placed on the witness stand Monday. “Have you attended any of the Tecent meetings at Coffin’s home in •regard to retaining Mann in office? Brown questioned. Shearer replied that he had visited Coffin’s home Saturday, “but not for that purpose.” County commissioners this morning inspected roads in various parts of the county, which Mann is charged with neglecting. If Mann is found guilty by commissioners, his case will be ap--pealed to circuit court. NAB AUTO, TWO YOUTHS Pair Held in Illinois With Car Stolen From Local Man.

U. S. INDUSTRIES GO TOMNADA High Tariffs Force Foreign Production, House Told. By Scripps-Haward Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. With the passage by the house of the bill advocating tariff readjustment, comes further news from Canada indicating that American factories are still being driven to set up branch plants abroad to keep from losing trade. In a message to Scripps-Howard newspapers, H. B. Keenleyside, manager of the Toronto industrial commission, declared: “You will be interested to know that the Toronto industrial commission is ending the first week of the new year—the busiest week in the commission’s history—with the announcement that five large United States corporations, having total assets of $18,000,000 have formed Canadian subsidiary cornpan’es. These companies are: Arrow, Hart & Hegeman Electric Company, of Hartford; General Printing Ink Corporation of New York, Chicago and Norwood, Mass.; Walter Motor Truck Company of Long Island City; and Josiah Anstice & Cos., makers of hotel and kitchen equipment, and the Kellogg Manufacturing Company, air compressors, both of Rochester.

Further reduces”! the Family "Colds-Tax" in I Money, Lost Time and HealthJ The makers of Vicks Vapoßub have perfected a plan for better “Control-of-Colds” in the home. The Plan is made possible by the new Vicks Nose & Throat Drops.

If you catch cold easily, use a few Nose Drops up each nostril after exposure to any particular condition that you know is apt to give you a cold —for instance, a night on a Pullman—a dusty automobile ride —sudden changes, wet or cold —after over-smoking—dry, over-heated rooms —indoor crowds —etc., etc. —and you feel the slightest stuffiness of the nasal passages. At night, massage the throat and chest well with ft* Vicks Vapoßub. Spread on thick and cover with '■ 9HB| the neck so that the medicated vapors arising can ihe inhaled all night long. During the day—any time, any place—use Vicks Drops as needed for fgT ease and comfort.

Broad Ripple Pupil Makes a Hobby of Growing Desert Plants. Fred Klusmann doesn’t have to tell people to “go sit on a tack.” Any one he doesn’t like can sit on a cactus, and Fred will furnish the cactus. Fred, who lives at 5750 North Delaware street, and is a Broad Ripple high school pupil, has the largest collection of cactuses in Indiana—about 200 different varieties. The prize number of his collection is a “Crown of Thorns” cactus, the kind which was worn by Jesus at crucifixion, it is said. Fred became interested in collecting the different kinds of cactus when he was in southeastern California two years ago. “One of the chief problems arising from keeping cactuses in Indianapolis,” he says, “is finding a warm, dry place. A cactus on the desert absorbs enough moisture from the air at night to keep it alive. Here, the moisture in the air is much heavier, but none of them his died yet.” Needles on Fred’s different cactuses vary from a couple of inches to a fraction of a millimeter. One of his plants has needles so small that a person can rub his hand over it without feeling them. However, the rash person soon finds that the soft fuzz wasn’t so soft after all. It sticks in the hand and causes pain, which can not be seen to be pulled out. “Your Want Ads have never failed me,” says Marion Roseberry. “The last one rented my room in two days.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SENATE. HOUSE WORK ON HOME BUILDING BILLS Watson Leads Group in Upper House on Bank Measure. B'j Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 12. The administration’s program for relief of home-builders was started on its way to enactment Monday, with appointment of five members of the senate banking and currency committee to hold hearings on the measure, and make recommendations concerning it. Republican Leader James Watson of Indiana, who introduced the administration bill, is chairman of this subcommittee. Other members are Senators Goldsborough (Rep., Md.), Morrison (Dem., N. C.), Couzens, (Rep., Mich.), and Bulkley (Dem., Ohio). The Watson bill provides for establishment in each land-bank district of the United States of federal home loan discount banks, stock of which is to be subscribed by banks, trust companies, insurance companies, building and associations, and other institutions subject to control of state banking laws. Management Board Created Any such subscribers may obtain advances on the security of mortgage loans from the discount bank. While the new banks will not loan money directly to home builders, they will, thus, make it easier for builders to secure mortgage loans from existing institutions. Management of the new banks is to be vested in a newly created board of five members, appointed by the President and confirmed by the senate. House Bill More Liberal

A slightly more liberal measure for relief of home owners is pending in the house of representatives, introduced by Representative Huddleston (Dem., Ala.). Huddleston’s measure would make possible direct loans of not more than SIO,OOO to prospective home owners, as well as releasing funds for loans through existing banks. If either measure becomes law, home-builders will proceed as they do now to secure a property mortgage, leaving their bankers to deal with the new organization, except in cases provided for in the Huddleston bill. “Your want Ads always pull for me and they cost less than the other papers,” says C. McCray.
