EAR STORIES i Democrats Apathetic About Everything But Circulation Stories TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL INDIAN A1-OL1S. 1XD, May 13 Probably the most notable thing , w hich will be accomplished by the j repblican state convention in Ind- j ianapolis May 24 and 25 will be! a dissipation of the "bear stories-' j that have been Going the rounds for i the obvious purpose of creating dis-J senslon In the G. O. r. ranks. j The political leaders here realize J that after two intense contests in the party one for a senatorial nom- i inatlon and the other for the state ; ctiairmanEhi? there necessarily is! some patching work and healing of i battle sores to be done. j Eut from a purely party standpoint ; it is very clear, they say, that the' very existance of those contests and j the intenseness in which they were waged is proof conclusive of certain; victory in the fall election. Great groups of men and women do not make determined fights for an empty honor. In contrast to the spirited events in the republican party during the last two months is the apathetic efforts in the democratic camp. In looking back over the democratic primary it is now clear that none of the five contestants for the senatorship nomination made any great effort to obtain it. As a result the nomination went to Samuel M. Kali ston solely because he had the forces of the Taggart machine plugging lor him in every county. As the re-organization of the democratic state committee approaches again there is no contest. There are a number of democrats who would be fighting for the leadership of the party if they thought a victory might come their way. But as. it( is the democratic chairmanship will not be the object of a contest. Intead, it appears, it will be turned oer to Walter Chambers, of Newcastle because he happens to want it just a little bit more than anyone else. Eut even Mr. Ohambers is not an avowed candidate for the place. To avert attention from their" own weakness democrats are circulating stories to the effect that Albert J. Eeveridge. republican nominee for United States senator, made an attempt to gain control of the party organization by electing some one of his own choosing as state 'chairman. To those who are Informed this story is ridiculous. Perhaps most any other man winning a primary victory such as Mr. Beverldge did would have attempted to dictate the leadership in the party organization. But it is a fact that he held aloft from this and took no part whatever in the soap. This was in accordance with his primary pledge. During the last few days an effort has been made in some quarters which are hostile to the , republican party to make it appear that the new state committee is having trouble in arranging the program for the state convention. In these quarters the story was put 'out that both Senator James E. Watson and Mr. Eeveridge wanted to make the keynote speech at the state convention. Events proved the folly of this assertion as Mr. Eeveridge has since the day of his nomination been in communication with Senator Watson urging him to make the keynote sreech. In fact, it appears that Mr. Beveridge's speech on the second day of the convention will be rather short and will deal more with republicanism than with party action such as will be outlined in the speech by Senator Watson. Another .thing which is cau.iing much amusement Is the much to do of the democratic press over the election of Beveridge, which they proclaim as a blow at the Hardin? administration.

Concerning the Lion Life Insurance Co., it is alleged the company has not maintained any legal reserve for the protection of policy holders as required "by state law.

Accompanied by his partner, De tectlve Nick Einslie. Singer eped tcJ the Millikan flats after reports had come to the police station that twt men had been held up on the Nortu Side. He peeped through a window of the apartment suspected of harboring the bandits. Two men were in the room. Singer, Einslie and Officer Borchert entered the build ing and approached the room. Sing er knocked at the door. It w thrown open. Youthful Jack Moore, aged IS years, home Lansing, 111., erstwhile1 Hammond bad man and laborer, stood on the threshold. "Where's your partner?" this from Singer. "He's gone. He Just went out," said Moore. "I'll see," said Singer. The probability that the lad was telling the truth struck Singer, who had seen a man leaving the flat a few minutes before. But he entered the room. With his back to the closet door, he stooped to look under the bed. which, say police is curiously the common hiding place of the ama teur criminal who finds himself suddenly the object of pursuit. At that moment the closet door opened. A head-appeared. Then a revolver. It was aimed at Singer's crouching form. At that moment the wind picked up. Through the open window a. breeze stirred the yellowed curtains. They fluttered into the room and across the vision of the would-be killer. Then there was a flash. A moment later came a second. Singer, unharmed, had whirled about. Shooting from the hip, he poured a stream of bullets into the closet. There came a moan. "I give tip I surrender." This from the closet. Singer shot again. "I give -up don't shoot. You nearly killed be. I give up don't shoot." "Then throw out your gun!" Singer was calling the bandit's blunt. The gun came out. It fell st Singer's feet. Then, arms u-raised, the g-unman backed out. He was taken to the police station. Jack Moore, the hero worshipper, found his Idol shattered. He followed, because he had to. Between sobs, he denied his guilt. The other confessed. He named another man In the North Side robberies. -He f ave his own name as Jess Garrett, 331 Michigan ave. The flying rquad. comprising Detective Sergeants Csrlson, Singer, Einslie. Kunt and Fred Fandrel. and Officer Borchert rushed to 25 Douglas st. There they found the third man in bed. He, too, was booked on a charge of holdup. He says his name is Fred Byarn. Both men, say police, have served time in state's prisons in Indiana and Arkansas. Moore, whose rooms in the Millikan flats, is &aid to have been used by the bandits as a terminal, is held on an open charge. David T. Norton, 65S Sherman St.. arrested by Sergeants Carlson ani Warner, is held also on an open charge. He is said to have provided one of the bandits with a revolver. Police say he did this unknowing the purpose tor which the gun was to be used. Chief Bunie in commending hla men for their excellent work, said the arrests 'rurtrated several "jobs" the pair had planned for the conjir.tf week. One of these was a daring holdup of a popular Burnham resort. The two victims of the bandits Saturday night were Fred Guerlich, 329 Johnson St., from whom they got $8.55: and A. J. Drakard. 339 Torrence avo., whose pockets yielded nothing. Guerlich asked the gunmen to return $1.10. raying he had to entertain his "gal" on the following day.
