chance of a Democratic victory in Indianapolis this fail. It ls predicted such a f urn in the political color of the lioos.er cap!!-.! mi-ht cau.e a scramble for !:!: 1 .lemoerat ic Ta( orial nomination next year. Control of the administration of Indianapolis is a great af( t to any party. There are in the em -p'oy of the city tjovernment several tl.o'i:'and men and women, should all t .' . e jobs jro to Democratic plum lo'nters ii"w life wralil be instilled into the now defunct Marion cotinty orgn nizat ion. tf: ran ore. as U may seem, the indictmeiit by the federal irrand jury of J. Herbert Hartman. Uepubiican nominee

for Indianapolis city Judfl;e. does not

see,.- t bae impaired the chances of

Dew Phank, nominee for mayor. In the past it has been humorously said of followers of Shank that no matter what he paid or did. ha would retain the loyal support of the mass of the people. Shank's power to hold his following is now being given the acid test. There ij hardly any doubt that any other man heading a municipal ticket and having the opposition that Shank has could weather such a blow an having another candidate on the ticket thrown under the cloud of a federal indictment. Shank's only asset in the campaign has been his rep, nation for honesty. He has been charged .with being unfit for the place, with being incompetent, with having undesirable, supporters, but his honesty and frankness have never been criticized. Careful investigations made by the Republican city committee disclose that, instead of injuring Shank the Ilartraan exposure has served only to throw in bolder relief the honesty and child-like candidness of Shank. Many persons in Indianapolis had made up their minds not to vote in the city election, partly because they did not like Shank's type and partly bee a ffe they could find no good reason for voting for his opponent, Boyd Ralston, brother of ex-Governor Italston. The Hartman exposure !x days before the last registration day, brought many of 'these people out. This is known as the anti-Shank element. It now seems likely that a large proportion of the Republicans, who were opposed to Shank in the primary, will

now vote for the Democratic ticket.

Before it became apparent that these people intended to vote, it seemed that

Shank's majority fould be much larger than that given President Harding in Marion County. This vote will in all likelihood lower Shank's majority, but by all the rules of analysis it can not defeat him. The democrats are now minus a woman's national committeeman from Indiana. Miss Julia Danders, who holds that post, must resign as abe has accepted a position with the Indianapolis school city which forbids her holding any position in a political organization or taking an active part in party affairs. She was virtually read out of the party in Indianapolis several weeks azo whfn she launched an attack on Thomas Meeker, democratic city chairman. Miss Danders was promised the chairmanship of the city speakers" .bureau if she would be good. She accepted. Dater Meeker turned her cold and announced that Charles' p. Tighe, formerly chief agent of the department of Justice in Indiana, would be given the place. Mis Danders said nothing further publicly, but she and her group of women set out to do all in their power to make the road of the party stoney In the municipal election. The Danders" affair, however, is merely but one incident showins the discord in the democratic, ranks in Indianapolis. Candidate Ralston Is In fact running a machine less effective than no organization at all for it is making enemies in the party's own ranks. His vote will represent antiShank sentiment rather than pro-Ral-stonlsm.

collectors and ethnologists of the state. Joseph Nazell,. Stealey, aged 14. tn of Joseph C. Stealey of 322 North street, has Just dug up two coins approximately 600 years old from a Virginia vein of coal at a small mine near his home, finding them firmly irhbedcied In the seam while helping hU father at the mine. One coin Is silver, the other copper. One one side of each is a crude picture of a hurriHn head or skull. On the other one bears the date of 1329 and the other the dat" of 13:!f. while there also appears a unique des'gn similar to that found on a rare specimen of African postag stamp, thus" Indicating that the coinc- may have been of African origin. Now, this being the case, could Af-We-o Vilitinia six centuries ago? If
