Beveridge Fort Wayne Speech Not Regarded as Particularly Impressive TIMES BUREAU AT S r ATE CAPITAL! IMilAN.U'OUS, March 13. -With the Albert J. Beveridge kevnote speech i fading into the tacksrounj of the yri- j mary campaign the struggle within tho I democratic forces, which has been goins on silently Fince the entrance of I samuei .vi. Kalston and Pan W. Simms Into that party's senatorial contest, is expected to shape into an interesing public spectacle shortly. For a forntght the "dry" and "wet" forces In the state have been using their influence on the democratic candidates. 'While there was some speculation at first on the attitude Mr. Ralston would take on the prohibiion question It now seems rather definitely settled that he will not barken to the cries for a modification of the Volstead act. WETS SEEK HALS TON. The "wet" forces wore rather anxious to persuada fcira to take the stump as a libel al, because they believe Mr. Kalston Is the strongest of the five candidates seeking the nomination n the democratic ticket. But it tiow seems that when Mr. Kalston or"3 his primary campaign in Muncie Thursday night he will stick to the course he followed during- his administration as governor th a t of conservatism. Thomas Taggart, although identified as a "wet" in the past has held out no encouragement to the liberal element in the party, and, it Is said, has directed Mr. Kalston to pursue a middle of the road .course, tacitly dry, but to say nothing offensive to the wets. WANT WET CAN IIO AT 12 IN TENTH. When thi3 news began to spread the liberals directed their attention to Mr. Simms and hope to get him to conic out as & candidate in fuvor of a modifiration of the prohibition lw to the extent- of permitting the manufacure and sale of w-ine and oeer under strict governmental regulation . This element has already succeeded in getting a candidate for representative In congress In the field In tne seventh district, and are basing their hopes on the 1'berals In Indianapolis to put him over. Flans are also under way to bring out wet democratic candidates In possible two other districts, the tenth and the thirteenth. THOSE "MONEY" CHARGES. The hammering of the loud sounding brass by Mr. Reveridge in his Fort Wayne speech about the expenditure or large sums of money In the primary Is regarded by the friends of Senator Harry S. New as the cry of persons before he Is hurt. They point out fthat there has been nothing to indicate that Senator New Is going to make a lavish campaign and assert that If Mr. Beveridge was Bincere in his proposal to have the candidates agree on a limit for expenses he would have entered Into a private conference with the Senator Ksw forces weeks ago instead of making the matter the subejet of his opening address. There la a general agreement In all quarters that there should be no . lavish expenditures In a primary campaign. The leaders In the Hoosier capital assert It Is folly to stage brass band compalgns of extravagance, but they add that there Is no indications whatever that such "will be the case in the Indiana primary now entering upon the aggressive period. HOW NEW ANSWERED IT. The particular thing pointed out in the Fort Wayne speech was. the insertion of a single newspaper advertisement in a number of Indiana papers by the Senator New organisation. Those in charge of the campaign believed this modest advertisement an inexpensive method of bringing to the attention of the voters at the outset of the campaign the fact that Senator Ne-.v is seeking re-nomination. Ir. the history of campaigning it has never ueiore oeen tiuti imae is anything offensive pr corrupt in a can-

Ba.-t Chicago ,,, other cities of Indiana where attempts have been made to regul ite jitneys by city ordinance will receive with considerable interest the announcement that oral argument in the fam -us Oary jltney case now before the Indiana Supreme ourt will be heard at Indianapolis on April (1 . City Attorney James A. Patterson and Attorneys Pav;, fi: Starr, representing the city of y. and Attorney Joe Conroy of the Hammond firm of MoMahen & i'onrcy. representing the jilneurs. are marshalling their data for presentation to the high tribunal. The case is exoe.-ted to settle the question of whether city councils of Indiana have delegated to them the! right to pass ordinances prohibiting motor vehicles, carrying passenger for hire from using certain streets. The ordinance pass?:! by the city council of Gary went into effect in December 1920. It provided strict regulations of motor vehicles carrying passengers for hire. The jilneurs concedod that the council had the right to regulate and did not question its authority in the .iiiit whicn was first rlied in the Gary superior court. Part of Section I of the ordin.tncf. formed the bone of conte.it ion . It provides that all vehicles currying parsengcrs for hire, except street cars and taxicabs are not permitted to stop to take on or discharge passengers on I'roadway, Washington, Adams, Massachusetts or Connecticut streets. The city authorities were threatening to enforce the ordinance when H. H. Frick, president of Local 423 of the! Chauffeurs Fui oi. brought suit on hehalf of himsrir and oth -rn to obtain an injunction against enforcing that part of the ordinance which referred to prohibition and not regulation. He claimed he was entitled to the injunction because no power had ever bce-n delegated by legislature to city councils to pass valid ordinancs prohibiting the use of the above named streets by vehicles other than taxicabs carrying passengers for hire.

Storm of Indignation Brings Speedy Action on Resolution Pastors of Hammond churches win had prepared sermons scoring the city council were notified by telephone and messenger shortly before the hour of evening service yestercay that 'he council had rescinded its action endorsing beer and light wine. The meeting of the council had been called following the morning ."V-rvices at the churches. In every Sunday school In the city teachers had denounced the council's stand on the issue. Practically every clergyman had held the council to scorn in the morning sermon and was prepared to talk at greater length at night. Resolutions had been passed condemning the action of the council. The concerted drive of the churches had a telling effect. A meeting of tne councM was held at the city hail at o'clock. All councilmen had been notified to he present and ten of the eighteen responded. It vcas moved by Councilman John T. SLamm of the fifth ward that the action of the council of March 7th endorsing beer Rtid light wine be rescinded and the minutes of that action stricken from the clerk's records. The vote follows: VOTE 8 TO 1 Yeas: J. V. Keeler, John H. Stanm, E. W. Kess, G. J. Wolf, James A. MaTo. T. Bert Anderson, R. G. Conde, Clyde L. Fowler and H. O. Ressig. Nay: Fred Pedelow. Absent: Lockiel Simpsow. John Mehan, George M. Slack, John A. Ma'-:a, William Schulte, John Krlglolka, Caleb White and Frank Seliger. The original motion was passed by a vote of 6 to Malo and Stamm voting for beer and wine. Word of the special meetin and the rescinding of the wt resolution wn.s dispatched to the churches and clergymen commented favorably upon it. BAYS IT'S II.I.XOAi Councilman William Schulte of the eighth ward refused to attend the special meeting. He said that it was illegal and that the law would not permit the rescinding resolution to be ' a matter of record. He oeclared that the meeting was called to "save the maj or's fa:e." "Mayor Brown knows as well as I do that any action taken by the city eouneil on Sunday is illegal." stated Schult". "He got in wrong because he stood b yand grinned when tne council passed the beer, and wine resolution. The mayor is always ready to plead with the council when some measure In which he is interested comes before them. He had the privilege to speak his mind at the meeting last Tuesday, but he kept silent. He never said 'aye, yes or no' and let it go. Now I don't propose to go trotting up to the city hall on Sunday afternoon to go througn a fool performance of holding a fake council meeting. If I have any eriticisin coming from the clergymen I'll take it like a man and not welch like the mayor. I was conscious when I voted rn the beer and wine resolution and nothing has happened to change my convictions since that time. "I may be a public servant, hut I'm not a nigger in the rick at a countyfair. If other councilmen don't resent having their character a-ssailed at the public meeting Saturday night by It. E. Granger, I do. "I maintain that any resolution to reconsider the council's vot on beer and light wp.e should come up at .t regular meeting and at the next mealing T will make a motion that tie clone erase from his records all mention or the Sunday meeting." Citv Attorney McMshon confirmed Councilman Schulte's charge that trie Sunday meeting was void and any record of it i!!ei-al. STAB CHAtrJBfK SESSION? "Yesterday's meeting was a star chamber S'S.don," declared! Schulte. "It was arranged by telephone whereas the law requires that councilmen be notified in writing. The public was not notified. Only visitors desiring tne council to change its stand were present in the gallery, the others having no knowledge of the meeting. If trie cooacil had held a 'secret' meeting at the behest of the advocates of wine and beer what a howl there would hae been. "This vishy-wa shy system of doing business is but a reflection of the mayor's own attitude." One of the leaders of tr;o W. C. T.

I", stated today that the members of that organization would attend the next council meeting in a body and demand that the counMl legally rescind Us wine and beer resolution.
