an Intoxicated condition.
SHCBERT’S TRIAL
SET FOB JULY t.
Shubert's trial will be held at a spe
cial meeting of the board July 2.
A. L. Taggart, president of the board,
said in regard to the charges that the
offense was not the only one of similar
nature that Shubert bad committed.
He said he understood Shubert was
inclined to take on “a little too much"
Tt ben the occasion presented Itself and
that Shubert Is the type that could not
carry a drink or two under his belt
without getting drunk.
When asked If Mayor Jewett or repub
lican politicians would make efforts to
block the dismissal of Shubert, he said
If the evidence In the trial was sufficient
Shubert would be dismissed regardless
of what Mayor Jewett or republican poli
ticians had to say.
“I know the relations between Mayor
Jewett and Shubert,” he said, “and 1
know that the mayor always supports
his friends, but I do not think the mayor
will try to lend any support to Shubert
unless he should think that the evidence
produced was not sufficient or unless he
thought Shubert had received Injustice at
the hands of the board of public safety.”
Taggart said be was extremely sorry
Ahat there had been occasion for the pref
■fence of the charge, but that he and
fljgStoard would order a dismissal only
it the evidence presented at the trial next
Friday was founded on sufficient
founds.
BAYS CHANGES MADE
FOB GOOD OF SERVICE.
Mr. Taggart, In commenting on the
changes In personnel, said that the board
regretted their necessity because such
changes are likely to bring about mis
understandings.
He said the promotions and demotion*
were based on the records of the men
In col red And not on political affiliating.
The redaction of Inspector Manning
was not * surprise to those "close la”
at police headquarters.
It has been an open secret for some
'time that there was dissension among
the detectives.
Some of the favored ones were get
ting too many easy assignments which
gave them chances to make arrests or
at least get their names on the turn
key’s slate as having made arrests. It
was said.
Other detectives of some years’ experi
ence have been assigned to the "rag
weeds," as the outlying districts arc
called.
are rumors afloat at police head
jfQPfrte rs that some orders have been Ig
nored and that the dissension among
the detectives has assumed such serious
proportions that the efficiency of the
department was becoming impaired.
THERE’S THE CASE OF
••NORTH SIDE” BI'RGLAR.
The “north side” burglar has not been
taught.
The term “north side” burglar has
been applied to the thief who for two
months has robbed numerous homes on
the north side.
This thief has carried away many
thousands of dollars worth of Jewelry
and has never appeared to be eveu near
capture by the detectives, while none of
the Jewelry has been found.
It also was hinted that the Shubert
case might be a part of the sbakeup.
Manning was appointed to the police
force Pec. IS*, ISftS, and was recently
made supervisor of the detectives.
A series of offenses and inefficiency
was given as the chief cause of his re
duction.

FOR NEW MARKET
South Side Petition Referred
Back to Council.
A petition asking permission to con
duct a market on Fountain square,

Relffel, members of the club.
No substantial objections to conduct
ing the market were raised by the board,
although It did not show favor toward
the movement.
Under 'the law the board of public
safety has no power to authorize opera
tion of stands, although such operation is
permissible.
The board refused to indorse the move
ment, unless 1; should have the authority
to enforce Its position.
In presenting the petition Mrs. Reiffel
said that if the property owners had
r.e objections to tbe stands ’-efore their
bouses and places of business she could
not see why the movement should not
be approved.
“We will fight the matter through,
and will take It up with the mayor If
necessary," declared the two members
of the organization following the bear
ing.
The petition was signed by the fol
lowing members of the club: Mrs. EUle

to have the gardners sell their produce
from their wagons on Fountain Square
was taken up before tbe rity council a
short time ago, where It met with oppo
sition.

cism of Wood's campaign methods.

ment, in which he said Wood's failure at

The telegram. In answer to a protest
from Procter, reads:
“I am convinced that my words, spoken
under strain, turmoil and fatigue of the
Chicago convention and. In short, revolt
against the power of money in politics,
were both unbecoming and unwarranted
and that I should and do apologize to
each and every one who felt hurt by
what 1 said.”

INDL4NAPOLIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1920.
BELL COMPANY
VIOLATES ORDER
OF COMMISSION
One Per Cent More Charged
on Depreciation Than
Authorized.
STOCK OWNERS GIVEN
Edgar S. Bloom, of Chicago, president
of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company,
was still on the stand this morning, In
the hearing of the petition of the Indi
ana Bell Telephone Company for nu-,
thorlty to increase Its rates at exchanges
In Indiana and he was still on the stHiid
at the noon recess as a center for ques
tions propounded by members of the
commission and Samuel Ashby, corpora
tion counsel for Indianapolis.
One of the questions that was asked
him was "why a small local exchange
could charge from 50 to 100 per cent less
than a small local exchange of the Bell
Company, size and number of calls
being equal."
In reply be gave tbe keeping up of the
plant, the setting aside of a proper
amount for depreciation, etc., as reasons.
In response to a question by Commis
sioner Fyed Johnson as to what would
be bis policy Jf he “acquired a small ex
change with a rurnl service and a rote,
sav of 25 cents to 75 cents or even up to
#1 a month—his policy, that Is. as to
rates; he said that the company would
have to raise the rote an account of de
preciation and investment and because
they would have to afford better service—
especially toll service.
A. T. A T. OWNS
MOST OF BELL STOCK. f
Among the questions asked him was:
“How much of the stock of the Indiana
Bell Company Is owned by the A. T. A
T.V”
He replied that all but nine shares,
which are owned by the directors of the
Indiana Bell, were owned by the A. T.
& T.
It was brought out during his cross
examination that the Indiana Bell Tele
phone Company Is charging tip 6 per
cent for depreciation' on book valuation,
while the order of the commission of
Feb. 0 provided that the charge for de
preelation should be 5 per cent annually
on the depreciable property of the com
pany.
It is stated that the hook valuation by
the company is considerably higher than
the tentative value set by the commis
sion.
PLEASANT TIME
WITH OWN ATTORNEY.
In his brief history of the origin of
the Indiana Bell Telephone Company,
and going quite a distance prior to that,
Mr Bloom had quite n pleasant time un
der direct examination by R. F. David
son, one of the attorneys for the telephone
company, at Monday afternoon’s session
of the hearing, before the members of the
Indiana Public Service commission, of
the petition of the telephone company
for authority to Increase Its rates.
But under cross-examination by Sam
uel Ashby, corporation counsel for the
city of Indianapolis, his way did not
seem to lead in auch pleasant places.
In direct examination by Mr. Davidson,
Mr. Bloom aatd that back In about 1880
the question arose as to whether there
should be one big company or smaller
companies throughout tbe United States,
and It wss decided that there should be
local companies, and above all tbe big
organization for patents, patent derelop
mcnta, etc.
This continued a few years, he said,
and then tbe need of uniformity of ap
paratus, methods, accounting, etc., arose,
and the Western Electric company be

ANOTHER MURDER
RIVALS ELWELL’S
Rich Man’s Body Found in
Flat, Cash and Jewels Gone.
NEW YORK, June 21.—With the Bl
well case still unsolved, another murder
mystery—the billing of Manuel Gabln, a
wealthy restaurant proprietor, was added

ment today.
When Galdn’s body was found, shot
through the heart, In a bed In a richly
furnished apartment at Washington and
West Twelfth streets, ,52T>,000 In cash and
Jewelry were missing.
Gabln was well known In the Spanish
colony and was sometimes called "The
King of the Spaniards."
Until two years ago he was an im
personator in vaudeville.
The police said they expected to ar
rest a young American friend of Gnbln,
known as "Hjndsome Charlie.”
The spotlight In the Klwell investiga
tion was turned again today on "Mis*
Wilson," the mysterious and handsome
young woman, who was said to have
Ppent the night frequently at Elwell’s
home at No. 241 West Seventieth street.
A bundle of letters and photographs
was seized In the apartment of Miss Elly
Hope Anderson, daughter of a wealthy

light,on the Elwell mystery.
Miss Anderson is a student of music
and U said to be n friend of Victor Von
Schlegell. one of the last persons to
see Elwell alive on the morning of June
11.
The house In which Miss Anderson
lives is almost directly In the rear of
the Knickerbocker Chambers, where Von
Scblegell makes his home.
It was explained that the only clew
the authorities hoped to gain from the
correapondence was some possible state
ment that would throw light upon El
well’s relations with Von Schlegell and
Von Schlegell’s divorced wife, Viola
Krauss.

National Committee.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. June 22.
The day of the "Ladles' Aid Society" Is
passing.
The churches are admitting them as
delegates and voting members.
In politics wo are moving more rapidly.
Four years after tbe democratic na-
convention recomuicuded the ex
tension of franchise to women, their en
franchisement Is practically acompllshed
mainly through the untiring efforts of
the president.
Without waiting for the adoption of
the nineteenth amendment and before It
was submitted to the states the demo
cratie national committee doubled its
membership and provided for the ap
pointment of a woman upon the na
tional committee from each state.
Last fall the executive committee voted
to double Its membership adding seven
teen women to this directing force of
the national eoniinltte.e
Never at any time has there been any
disposition to keep the women waiting
outside the committee rooms, nor will
th'-re be during this convention.
It is not a question of taking them In
to the party councils.
They are the party councillors and
will have a voice In all that U done.
In addition to this the national com
mittee has Indorsed a plan for organiza
tion that calls for a committeewoman
as well as a committeeman for each
state—to be elected In the same man
ner and with equal power.
This definite Instruction has had much
to do with the great number of women
chosen to attend the convention.
We have more than 100 women dele
gates—twenty-five of them delegates at
large and 150 alternate*
When we add to this the national com
mittee women, the members of the execu
tive committee and my own staff, we
have more than 400 women who wtl! take
an active part In the coming convention,
and they will not be on the outside look
ing in, but on the inside, too much oc
cupied with the great business in hand
to have time to look out, but they know
that the womanhood of America la wish
ing them godspeed.
ASKS WILSON FOR
STRIKE WEAPON
Payne Urges Quick Action in
Railway Situation.
WASHINGTON, June 22.—A detailed
report of tfto grievances of railroad men
which led to walkouts in Philadelphia,
Baltimore and elsewhere were presented
to President Wilson today by John Bar
ton Payne, director general of railroads,
following conferences between Mr. Payne
and representatives of the brotherhood.
Mr. Payne, in his report. Is understood
to have urged the necessity of immediate
action to stave off further serious dis
turbances of rnllroad traffic and to have
requested the president to outline a pol
icy to be followed In dealiug with the
situation.
Since representatives of the brother
hoods all along have insisted that the
walkouts are merely a protest against
delay on the part of the railroad labor
board in rendering a decision on the
increases involving grievances of the
men pending since April, 1919, Mr.
Payne's report, It was learned today, set
forth the desirability oJ.au investigation
Into tho cause of delay on the part of
the labor board and urged the necessity
of Immediate action.
PHILADELPHIA, June 22—The rail
road strike apparently has been cheeked
In this city, though strikers say a big
walkout is scheduled for Friday.
Both the Pennsylvania and the Read
ing report some strikers us having re
turned to work, while In Baltimore the
trouble has been virtually ended by the
return of one-half the strikers, according
to officials here.
Passenger train service In Philadelphia
is not affected, but is reported to have
been slowed up la New Jersey.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.. June 22.-Indi
cations that friends of William G. Mc-
Adoo will “stop at nothing” in their

following:
“Thomas B. Love, national democratic
committeeman from Texas, called me
over long distance telephone from Pueb
lo Monday night while en route to San
Francisco and said:
*‘l’ve traveled west from Kansas City
with the Alabama delegation and eigh
teen of the twenty-four delegates favor
putting McAdoo in nomination, consent
or no consent. The former treasury
head, they declare, la the one and only
leader with whom the democrats can
feel sure of victory. McAdoo must, they
Insist, be nominated.”
“Similar sentiment continues to pour
In from various sections of the country.
His name Is on every one’s lips. It is
Inevitable that his name be plAoed In
nomination.
"Someone, without doubt, will put him
before the convention. \ybether the
writer does so or not the country might
Just as well understand, first and last,
that there la no stopptng the attempt to
put McAdoo across the the democratic
presidential nominee.’

"Now they are saying he Is a pro
gressive." the Oklahoman remarked, “be
cause they know only a progressive can
v. In In this election. The work of the

Into a ditch and turn over.
As Jacobs in his dream saw the
crushed and mangled forms of Ills chil
dren he leaped from his bed with a wl.'d
cry of fright.
He tried to cry out again, but could
not. .
FIRST HORROR CRY’
CLOSES THROAT.
Jacobs declared it seemed as though
his throat had closed and since that first
cry of horror he has been unable to
speak.
He paid a man to watch the road at
Terre Haute, notified the police of that
city to keep and then came to In
dianapolis.
Jacobs received a telegram from an
Ohio city telling that the tourists had
passed through that place, but the tele
gram has not relieved his anxiety re

which the tourists will pass through the
city are black and the other Is red, and
all have Pennsylvania licenses on them.
Camping outfits, Including tents, are

NO. 36.
“in the wine cellar” of the Pennsylvania
street store.
VanNuys maintained that the Ha-igs
knew that this wonderful flood of whtskv
prescriptions was coming Into their store
on Christmas eve, 1918.
“In ten days’ time before Christmas
the evidence showed that Louis Haag or
dered a total of 1.200 gallons of whisky
from out of the state and that Louis
instructed the senders to rush the or
der." said the district attorney.
PROFITS ESTIMATED
AT 5250 A DAY.
VanNuys estimated the profit of the
Haags during October, November and
I December. 1918, from their whisky sales
at from $250 to S3OO a day.
Looking directly at the Haags, Van-
Nuys Bald, “When Louis started to make
an inventory of his whisky stdek on the
shelves the next day all the whisky was
gone and he caused fifty-six quarts more
to be put on the shelves.
“It was like Old Mother Hubbard
i going to the cupboard and finding It
bare,” dramatically recited the district
attorney.
VanNuys declared that many of the
prescriptions for whisky were a “pal
pable fraud.” v
In defense of the Haags, Michael
llyan declared there was not a word of
evidence to show that any one who pur
chased whisky on prescriptions for tlio
Haag store “ever staggered or went
borne In an improper condition."
Mr. Ryan said the defense admitted
from the outset of the trial that tho
defendants did order the whisky as
charged hut claimed that It was for me
dicinal purposes alone.
“If you believe the testimony of t ho
defendants that they bought this whisky
for medicinal ' purposes then this cast.
Is ended," Mr. Ryan said.
EVERY PRESCRIPTION
CARRIED NAME.
Mr. Ryan said that every prescription
had the name- and address of a patient
and steadily maintained that the Haags,
in his judgement, never conducted s
blind tiger.
“Their place of business doesn’t carry
the stripe of a blind tiger or any other
kind of a tiger and everything that the
Haags did was done In the open and
even sworn to before the county clerk,"
claimed Mr. Ryan.
In closing his argument Mr. Ryan
claimed the only question before the Jury
was to determine whether this liquor
was brought In for medical or for bev
erage purposes.
The first of the eloslng arguments for
the government was made late yesterday
afternoon by District Attorney Fred
VanNuys, who declared that the de
fendant Haags were In the whisky busi
ness for the money there wuj in the il
legal traffic.
“REQUIRE 843 YEARS
TO DRINK STUFF."
"I have figured up that if the direc
tions of taking the doses of whisky sold
by the Haags and •Introduced In evidence,
were followed out it woul 1 require M3
years to drink the stuff, ’ „aH VanNuys.
“The liquor business ?s out of exist
ence because such men as tbe Haage
have prostituted their citizenship over tne
depiuTed bodies of men and women."
charged Mr. VanNuys.
In the course of his argument to the
Jury, the district attorney stated that
“the Hang brothers were the last rem
nants of the blind tigers In Indianapo
lis.”
Tbe district attorney took the position
that the so-called prescriptions were used
Just as a blind and that the whole trans
action was a “farce."
He assumed that the Haags were In
terested only In getting the liquor into
the state and getting the money as “this
traffic was carried on for money .alone.”
The district attorney contended that
the evidence showed the Haags at one
time had $50,000 worth of booze In the
cellar of the Pennsylvania atreet store.
HOLD NOT.BORNE
OUT BY EVIDENCE. •
In answering the district attorney. At
torney Charles \V, Miller, one of the sen
ior counsel for the “defense, contended
that tbe assumptions of the district at
torney were not borne out by the evi
dence.
He maintained that the Hadgs testi
fied they ordered the whisky for med
ical purposes and asMar as they knew
It was sold only on the proper prescrip
tions signed by doctors. r
Mr. Milter said he expected the jury
to return a verdict in favor of his clients
In the light of the evidence. M
He maintained the Haags l\ad

wood is regarded ns miraculous.

the tremblers, of which there were six
altogether in a period of three hours,
was that of Mrs. William Slppey, tti), ot
Los Angeles, who died of heart failure
when she attempted to run from the'
earthquake while visiting at the seashore.
Several persons were reported Injured
from falling debris, but none seriously.
The chief damage consisted of partial
