LONDON FLOCKS TO SPICY TRIAL OF CHURCHMAN Racketeers Add to Mixup, Trying to Shake Down Rector’s Friends. BY HERBERT MOORE I'nltfd Press Staff (nrrmpondrnt LONDON, April 2.—The trial of the Rev. Harold F. Davidson, rector of StifTkey, Norwich, whose rescue work among young girls led to charges of immoral conduct, proved as big an attraction today as any sporting event in the London area Although the Westminster church house could accommodate only a small part of a crowd such as might assemble at Wembley stadium, long queues formed outside the churchcourtroom an hour before testimony was resumed. The trial was in its fifth day. A young man described as a chauffeur, whose name and address were not made public, testified first and said he lived wth Rose Ellis, 30, one of the women involved in ’ the charges against the rector in London and on a trip to Paris. Threatened to End Life The witness said the rector threatened to commit suicide when he learned that Rose had given a thirteen-page statement to private detectives hired by the Bishop of Norwich. The bishop brought charges against Dr. Davidson. The rector eventually persuaded Rose to retract the statement, the witness said. The chauffeur said the rector often visited Rose. Indications that racketeers had attempted to “shake down’’ several persons in connection with the rector's trial were an added drawing card. Rival attorneys clashed often on charges of attempting to interview witnesses before they testified. An official of a restaurant which Dr. Davidson visited frequently said 'he recor was known among waitresses as “The Mormon.’’ Racketeers ‘Muscle In’ R. F. Levy, counsel for the recior, said that a mother had been approached by a woman who posed as a private detective in the employ of the Norwich consistory court. The woman is alleged to have said that the mother’s daughter was included in a list of women who had complained of the rector’s conduct. The alleged woman detective w T as disclosed as a fake, Levy said. It was indicated that racketeers had attempted to “muscle in” on the case and obtain money from families by saying they would keep young girls out of the case for a certain fee.

AUTO CRASHES TOLL REDUCED BY GOOD TIRES Prevention of Sidesway and Skidding Necessary at High Speed. It may have been that a few I years ago a motorist was justified jin using almost any tire. This was a time when cars on the road were comparatively few, and when a speed of thirty miles an hour was considered excessive. Then it did not matter much if a tire gave way, and there was comparatively little danger. i Now, however, with heavier cars on the road so close together that | a deviation from the line is fraught I with danger, speeds far in excess 1 of what then was deemed possible, | the giving way of a tire may be a ; serious matter, as is evidenced by the too-frequent stories of accidents from thie cause. Hence, a motorist should know what tire is the safest for him to drive as well as what tire adds the most to the appearance of the car. Safety in a tire is attained by the arrangement and the quality of the cord used. It must reduce internal friction to the minimum and give the greatest carcass strength. Tread Is Thicker Here engineering facilities and reputation must be a guide, according to Charles H. Franck, 543 East Washington street, distributor for the Fisk tire and operator of one of the best-known tire service staiens in Marion county. “Fisk tires give one the most as- ! urance against accident, for several , reasons,” said Franck. “They have | more tread rubber bearing on the I road than others, and the ribs of 1 the tread prevent lateral or sidej wise skids, while the other design ! members prevent lengthwise skid- ! ding. “The Fisk all-cord process reduces 1 the danger of blow-out to the minimum. These are demonstrable facts, which we are always glad to show to motorists.” Protects Machinery “To them is due the increase in Fisk sales. We have many customers who on buying anew car drive to our place to have the tires changed to Fisks, our trade-in proposition being especially attractive.” The Charles H. Franc Company distributes these tires to more than twenty-five dealers in the Indianapolis territory, and maintains a complete service station at the East Washington address, w’here for nineteen years it has been known as a competent tire repair concern. Business is under the direction of Mr. Franck and his son “Bill,” who has grown up in a tire atmosphere. Much of the business of the | Franck establishment is in the supI ply of Fisk tires to truck owners. It I is declared that the Fisk, owing to its cord construction, gives a resiliency that offers maximum protection to the vital working parts of a truck.

Season for Oysters Is Nearing End With the last month of the oyster season at hand many persons will want to enjoy to the utmost the healthful and delightful sea foods in the Philadelphia Oyster House, 105 East Ohio street, where J. W. Everingham conducts a restaurant famous for the quality of its food. Everingham insists that every bit of the sea food in his place must be fresh from the ocean—he has no canned goods of any sort. Quite aside from the gastronomic delights of this food, on which chefs have made their reputations, there is the element of hcalthfulness to be considered. Especially is this true with the oyster, which, perhaps, is the best source of the iodine required in the human system. The quantity demanded is little, but it sems to be an absolute essential to good health. But. iodine or not. most people eat oysters simply because they enjoy them. Here the Philadelphia Oyster House caters to the most discriminating. Oysters now are raised under the finest conditions, in clean water where the quality is of the highest. Everingham obtains the highest quality, as is well known to the people who for eighteen years have been pleased with his resturant. Nor is the menu limited to oysters. There is a special clam chowder that is more than popular—something different from the ordinary, for the clams, too, are taken direct from the shell. There are other sea food dishes that have become famous in Indianapolis, all made of the fish that Everingham has studied for years, all as wholesome as food can be, and all prepared as such food should be prepared. For the few remaining days in which such food will be at its best, the Philadelphia Oyster House has made special effort—and people of discriminating palates know that means food as good as one could want, and as wholesome as anything could be.

One of the unusual industries in Indianapolis is the bullet-proofing of police cars. It is done by the Perfection Windshield Company, 25 West Pratt street, of which Earl G. Evans is secretary and manager, and Charles W. Holstein is sales manager and treasurer. The industry has grown out of the demand that police officers be as well protected as possible in their too frequent brushes with armed criminals. It does not attempt to rebuild the body of the car, but provides a series of defenses that can be applied to any automobile. Principal features are a bulletproof windshield, equipped with a self-closing gun port; side wings of bullet-proof glass, shields for the

Rapid Transit System Has Done Much to Improve Living Conditions. BY. J. J. BEDLOW Prompt transportation is very valuable these days to the man who has to live by such jobs as he can obtain—and there are many such. It widens the opportunity he has by a much larger area, for if he were limited only to such places as he could walk to he would find few jobs. Realljf, that is the purpose of the NAVY MEN DO OWN LAUNDRY U. S. Slips Carry Washers; China Boy Out. Despite the conventional belief in the omiscience of the China boy as a laundryman, practically every vessel of the United States navy, as well as those of other nations, carries its own complete equipment for handling laundry, even when assigned to duty in Chinese waters. More often than not, a Maytag washer is installed, purchased by the crew, in addition to regular furnished facilities. No longer do the armed forces depend upon China boys for laundry service; a member of the crew receives special compensation for handling the entire wash-day for the whole crew. . In the recent Shanghai defense, United States marines alone used thirty-two Maytag washers. The Maytag is the only washer known up and down the entire China coast.

radiator of the car and tire protectors. They are custom built to fit the car to be equipped, and have met approval from police departments all over the country with resultant orders. On a car this equipment is not particularly noticeable, but prevents either the disabling of the car by machine gun fire or the injury of the occupants. It makes pursuit of a bandit car safe, and not only adds greatly to the apprehension of criminals, but also has proved a deterrent to crime in localities where the police forces are provided with the additional safety. This company, which has been in business thirteen years, much of

street railway system. It widens not only opportunity, but business of all kinds. It makes the downtown stores available to the vast majority of their patrons; it makes every factory in the city approachable by its workmen, and it makes residence in desirable parts of town open to the whole public. Probably no other enterprise of private capital is so valuable to the public as local transportation. Without it, every city might exist, but it would be either one of two things—a series of interlocking villages, each complete in itself, with no central part of the town, no great stores and no theaters or other large assembly places, or a wretchedly crowded series of tenements clustering around each business enterprise, so situated that the factory district would be congested unbearably or the factories themselves compelled to erect branches where employes could live' near their employment. On the other side of the picture, cheap transportation makes possible detached residences with a bit of land, enables people to live in the desirable parts of town, relieves what would be unbearable congestion in certain districts both in living conditions and schools, and makes intramural communication an easy matter, thus welding the community in one.

Eckler, is the distributor for the entire line of Francisco auto heaters, Rusco brake products and the paint line of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company. It installs fly wheels, starter gears, Irues up brake drums and relines brake with the Rusco line of molded or woven materials. It also handles clutch facing plates and fan belts. Recent installations of the bulletproof equipment include the car pictured above for the Indianapolis police department and four others for the same department. Among other such installations are police cars for Richmond, Frankfort, Terre Haute, Kokomo, Rushville, Connersville, Anderson, Seymour, Marion and Lafayette, Ind.; Madison and Kenosha, Wis.; Saginaw, Mich., and St. Paul, Minn. Others have been placed in many cities of the country. The company also is enjoying a fine trade on its Pittsburgh paints, which include the famous Sunproof and Plasco outside house paints, Water Spar quick drying enamels, Sun Glow enamels, wood stains of all kinds, brushes and the new Wallhide interior paint, made by the use of vitolized oil. This paint does not release the oil to be absorbed by surrounding wood and plaster, but holds it in the body of the paint, keeping it elastic and adhesive. A drop of this Wallhide placed on a sheet of paper does not leave the evidence of oil absorption as other paints do. ,

NEW PRINCIPLE IN ICE BOXES IS HELOSUCCESS Hearty Approval Is Given Iciere Refrigerator by Public. With warAi weather so near, it is advisable to think of the question of refrigeration in earnest. Some of the people who most carefully have gone into the subject are the most enthusiastic on the use of ice. These folks say, and they back it up with experience and figures, that ice in the right kind of a refrigerator offers the best preservation of food as well as the lowest cost. Almost without exception these folks approve heartily the new principle in ice refrigeration shown in the Iciere, the refrigerator offered by the Polar Ice and Fuel Company, 2000 Northwestern avenue. This new principle permits the exposure of a great icing surface at all times through the use of cracked ice, and thereby maintains the low temperature in the refrigerator as automatically as is possible. This is declared to be a near approach to the ideal in refrigeration, for the steadiness of the cold saves ice as well as preserving food, while cracked ice is handled more sanitarily and with on muss whatever in the house. Construction of the Iciere presents some novel features that make the work of the housekeeper less, too. Every part of it can be taken out of the box and washed at the kitchen sink. Thus it can be scalded as desired without requiring much ice to reduce the temperature back to the cooling state. All corners on the inside of the box are rounded, making cleaning much easier, and the enamel inside and out does not collect dirt or odors. Convenient terms are arranged by the Polar Ice and Fuel Company for purchasers. It is suggested that on one should buy a refrigerator before he or she has seen this one.
