THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, JUNE 34, 1910.

SHANK STANDS BY "ICE BOT SPEECH ' ' '' ( if,-. ' Mayor of Indianapolis Tells Home' Folks He Meant ' What He Said. THIS COLD, CRUEL WORLD

HE INFORMS REPORTER ON HIS RETURN FROM RICHMONDCANT SEE HOW HE CAN REMEDY "DRY" SPELL.

Indianapolis, June 24. Mayor Shank on his return from Richmond, Ind., last night, defended himself against criticism of discrimination which was directed toward him' following his famous "ice box" speech at the banquet of the Indiana Municipal League Wednesday night At the banquet the mayor declared his sympathy for folk who have no ice boxes these hot Sundays, now that Indianapolis is "dry," and he recited an incident of his own refrigerator which arose only last Sunday. ' "I had a few friends out here last Sunday and I happened to have a few

cold bottles In the ice box." said the

mayor. "I spoke of this Incident in my after-dinner speech at Richmond,

and It was at the Y. M. C. A., too. I

simply told them that I felt sorry for those people who have no ice boxes,

now that Indianapolis Is 'dry' on Sundays. . "It is too bad," the mayor continued. "I do feel sorry for those people

on the South Side who have' to go up

and down the streets and can't get a

drink anywhere, find other folks can

have It in their-ice boxes."

"Well, what are people who can't afford to have ice boxes going to do-

Just stay 'dry? " he was asked. "Well, I don't know, 1 suppose so," he replied. The mayor said further that he does not believe he is "discriminating" against any one in having his own ice box on Sundays while others have to wait until Monday or go without liquid refreshments all day. Cold, Cruel World. . "This Is a cold, cruel world," he said. "Some folks can have ice boxes, while others can't afford it. I am sorry for those who "can't, but I can not help them. I started out to close up the saloons on Sundays and I am going to keep It up if I can, and. that's what I told them at the banquet in Richmond. It's all right, I think for those to have their own Ice boxes who can afford ot." Mayor Shank said he was much impressed with the spirit of the Municipal league, which favors the Initiative and referendum, and that he would Hire to see that plan of government established in Indiana, and especially in Indianapolis. "I believe the people should be given the right to say whether bonds should be Issued for a given purpose, and they should be allowed to vote on any question of public Improvement. Nearly all of the various city officials who attended the meeting favored the initiative and referendum and I am in favor of it myself." So far as the commission form of government Is concerned, the mayor said he does not believe that plan is altogether a proper one. Some of the officials of Des Moines, la., where the commission form now Is in vogue, attended the Richmond meeting and he said after making an investigation of the merits of the commission form he does not believe it is a practicable method. His reason he says, that it does not eliminate politics from municipal affairs. Another matter which came before the Municipal League, which the mayor favors, is, conferring upon various cities greater borrowing powers. He says he believes Indianapolis could proceed with more track elevation if Its bonding powers were Increased and that he would like to see a statute enacted which would give to this city the right to issue more bonds.

ACTION IS DELAYED

While It is regretted bv the Wavn

county board of charities and correc

tions that the commissioners propose to construct a building for insane men at the county jail, yet no effort has

Deen made by the board to have the county commissioners to stav their

action. Members of the board of charities feel that a meeting should be held with the commissioners, but none has been asked for as yet.

Unless the commissioners see fit to

delay their action longer, they will let the contract for the buildine on

July 5. The board has acted on the

aavice or Its attorney in the matter, although it has agreed with the charity board that a more suitable nlace for

the building would be the county in-

nrmary. This seems impossible, due to the provisions of the state laws. COMMENCEMENT TONIGHT.

The first commencement nirils8

of the new commissioned high school of Williamsburg will be held this evening at the high school building there.

WHITEWASH COAT FOR TARIFF LAW

Payne-Aldrich Act Is Held Blameless for Increased Cost of Living.

SENATOR LODGE REPORTS HIS COMMITTEE INFORMS THE SENATE THAT THE REAL CAUSES ARE HIGH PRICE OF FARMS AND "CORNERING."

Washington, June 24. After several months of desultory work in an effort to ascertain the causes of high prices of foods and other commodities the Special Senate Committee, of which Senator Lodge is Chairman, has evolved a voluminous report, which was submitted to the Senate yesterday. It represents only the views of the majority, the Democrats refusing to sign it and reserving the right to send in a minority report when they have had the services of an expert to go over the testimony and the figures and assist them in coming to some conclusions. This report is a long one, containing besides the views of the Republican Senators, reports of. Consuls and a great many tables showing the cost of commodities now as compared with 10 years ago and subsequent years. The majority report reaches the conclusion that the tariff is not responsible for high prices; in fact, that it n&s "no material factor," in causing the advances during the past 10 years. Instead it assigns as the reasons a long list of circumstances extending from the increased value of land to modern advertising and including immigration, migration and a variety of subjects. It also finds that food products have advanced to. a greater extent than manufactured articles, as, for instance, those from the factory. It also ascertained that the advance in wages was not in proportion to the advance in the cost of living. A study of con

ditions existing in other countries is given, and the conclusion is reached that the advanec in prices has been world-wide. Much of the language of the report is a paraphrase of a speech delivered in the senate by Senator Lodge, the chairman of the committee, before , the investigation was ordered. The committee comDlains

that it was handicapped in its workj and in Its efforts to get at the facts; In regard to the subject of the inquiry by reason of the refusal of the

senate to vote the appropriation of $65,000 asked for to carry on the investigation. Causes of High Prices. The majority of the committee found that of the many causes contributing to the advance in prices the following were most marked: Increased cost of production of farm products by reason of hisher land values and higher wages. Increased demand for farm products and food. Shifting of population from food producing to food consuming occupations and localities. Immigration of food-consuming localities. Reduced fertility of land, resulting In lower average production or in increased expenditures for fertilization. Increased banking facilities in agricultural localities, which enabled farmers to hold their crops and market them to the best advantage. It was found that this not only steadied prices, but had a tendency to increase them. Reduced supply convenient to transportation facilities of such commodities as timber. Cold storage plants, which result in preventing extreme fluctations of

prices of certain commodities with the seasons, but, by enabling the wholesalers to buy and sell at the best pos

sible advantage, tend to advance

prices. Increased cost of distribution. Industrial combination. Organizations of producers or of dealers. Advertising. Increased money supply. Overcapitalization. Higher standard of living. .

BY TAD. Reno, Nev., June 24. Jack Johnson blew into town this morning looking fit to clean up the earth. He was met at the station, by a howling mob, not as enthusiastic by any means, as the one which greeted Jeffries on his arrival, but they gave the champion a

good, noisy reception, and his famous golden smile spread from ear to ear. He was called upon to mae a speech, and believe me, Jack is there with the chin goods. He doffed his Panama and jumped upon an express truck. "Well, here I am. boys. I'm here to fight Mr. Jeffries, and I hope the best man wins," piped til. Artha, "I expect to win but realize that I have p. tough job on my hands. There will be no foul work. Neither Mr. Jeffries nor myself have ever done any foul fighting, and I am sure neither will In this battle." Made Hit With Crowd. The manner in which Johnson spoke of Jeffries made a hit with the Crowd, and as he climbed into an auto and was whirled away to Rick's resort, where he will put in his finishing touches, the mob gave him a great cheer. Johnson broke cams in San Francisco last night, leaving there on the

9 o'clock train. He had chartered a

special car earlier in the day, and the entire party at the Seal Rock house with him, Al Kaufman. Geo. Cotton and Dave Mills were the sparring partners to accompany him. Jack figures these three men will give him all the work he needs. Johnson said that he would rest up

this morning, as he was naturally at bit sore from the long ride from Frisco. This afternoon, however, he will start in working again. He will do about eight miles on the road, and upon returning to his quarters will box a few rounds with his partners. Jeffries was up bright and early to take a fall out of the altitude. He took part in a baseball game and tore around the bases In Ty Cobb fashion. After that he and Jim Corbett went a couple of miles up the road from the training camp, where they engaged in a number of sprint races. The last race was at 100 yards. Jeff got & five yard jump on Corbett at the start and at the end was fully ten yards in fronL Corbett is some sprinter himself and thought it was a pipe to beat Jeff. This morning "Gentleman James wants to bet a million that Jeff can beat any sprinter in the land. When Jeff was asked It he noticed the difference in the altitude he said that he did a bit, but that he would be acclimated in a few days.

In cranking an automobile this afternoon Ray Stevens had his right wrist broken. The crank slipped and struck him before he could withdraw his hand.
