Carcaßs of Dog
Taken to Court
SPRINGFTELD, 111., Jan. 15.
George W. Lane stood charged with
the killing of a neighbor's dog. The
body of the animal was brought Into
court in lieu of a certificate of death.
tire board, with a fine-pleated bosom
front, was named. William Fortune,
whose business for the last several years
has been filling public positions where It
was essential for the old guard to be
faithfully represented, leads this board.
He is the same Fortune who 1? connected
with the war chest and the Indianapolis
Telephone Company.
Fred C. Gardner, Caleb S. Denny,
Elmer W. Stout, Irving Lemaui form
the rest of the local 'representatives on
the committee. Leinaux and Gardner
represent Mayor Jewett's concern In the
candidacy of Fesler. Caleb Denny proved
such an asset to the party as the titular
head of the worn old “Good Citizens
league” that he was included on the
theory that he might be -dusted off and
trotted forth again in a similar capacity.
Elmer Stout Is connected with the city's
largest financial interests and his pres
ence on the board lends it considerable
weight among business men.
As an Indication that the managers
of the Fesler boom have not forgotten
there Is another part of Indiana that
does not lie wholly north of Washing
ton street and close to Fall creek,
Thomas Davidson of Greensbnrg, Frank
P. Fuchs of Evansville, and B. Paul
Mossman of Ft. Wayne, were added to
the committee.
BOOKWALTER ARISES
TO THE OCCASION.
Mr. Huesmann not being able to be
present to accept the "honor,” Charlie
Bookwalter took charge of the meet
ing and made one of his inimitable
speeches, all according to the formula
he evolved some sixteen years ago.
Others who made a few remarks re
newing their allegiance to the bosses,
who framed the meeting were Sam
Ashby of the mayor’s legal corps;
Chrles Roemler, the district chairman
with the police court pull; Claris Adams,
the prosecutng attorney, who can “see
no criminal Intent;" James H. Lott, rep
resenting the gang's colored standard
bearers; Harry D. Tutewiler, recently
brought to light by the state board of'
accounts; Thomas C. Day, the political
side partner of Caleb Denny in the “good
citizens league,” and several others.
Among those whose work was just as
effective as if come into the
limelight was Leo K. Fesler, county
auditor, who whispered Into the ear or
all county employes the necessity of
making a showing at the meeting; Dick
Smith of the Indianapolis News, who
put his O. K. on the organization plans;
Will Hays of the republican national
committee, who suggeste'd Fesler as a
“harmony candidate,” and all the rest
of the real “executive committee” of the
republican crowd in Indiana.
After the meeting broke up there was
such a congestion of limousines starting
out from the hotel that Will Fortune's
electric almost got lost In the vortex of
the twelve-cylinder cars.

H. C. L., ANYWAY?
Chicago Clothiers Give Vent to
Their Opinions.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15. —Who is the profi
teer, and what Is the cause of the high
cost of living?
These questions were thrashed out to
day at a conference of the National
Association of Retail Clothiers at the
Hotel Sherman.
Sidney Hillman of New York, presi
dent of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America, said that over
production Is the cause.
H .R. Figg, special assistant to the
attorney general, said underproduction
was the trouble.
Fred Yioland, president of the Kansas
Association of Retail Clothiers, said that
prices do not go up or down, but are
“put up or down."
John G. Schaefer, a Chicago clothing
salesman, said that a 100 per cent Amer
Icanism would be the only solution to
the situation.
Greater production and more conserva
tive buying on the part of the public
was the solution offered by a representa
tive of B. Kuppenheimer.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 1920.
FRISCO SESSION
AID TO HOOVER
Politicians Will Give Him Good
Chance to Be Nominee.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 15.—Pacific
coast politicians believe bringing the
democratic national convention to San
Francisco increases the chances of Her
bert Hoover being the democratic nomi
nee for president.
Bryan and Hoover are likely to be the
biggest figures of the convention. J. O.
Davis, collector of the port, is closer to
Bryan than any other man in the state.
He says: >
“Bryan's chief effort at the convention
will b“ to prevent a standpatter from
getting the nomination; he will favor a
progressive.” •
Unless Bryan himself bobs up as a
candidate, this is taken to indicate a
leaning to Hoover. Hoover will run
under pressure, but he will not take the
nomination unless it is forced on him.
Hiram Johnson has the republican pro
gressives all lined up behind him now,
although some may desert him later.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.—A double bar
reled boom for Herbert Hoover as presi
dent was fired by .Tillius H. Barnes, pres
ident of the United States grain corpor
ation. In a speech before the National
Wholesale Dry Goods association last
night..
Barnes suggested Hoover as the repub.
liean nominee, but declared that he might
become the democratic candidate.
"Herbert Hoover is instinctively a lib
eral and a progressive,” said Barnes.
“His political affiliations have been with
the progressive republicans. But his par
tisanship extends only to the Insistence
of the maintenance of equility of oppor
tunity In this country and*to the sup
port of that party exemplifying that
ideal.”
IMHANIAN HIES IN EAST.
VINCENNES, Ind., Jan. 15. —News has

of J. W. Hackman, former Vincennes
resident, which occurred at his home
In New York city. He was sixty-two
