SCHMIDT GIVES
NEW LOOP PLAN
Ordinance Puts Street Cars
Out of City’s Center.
The ordinance to establish a street car
loop in Delaware and Maryland streets,
Capitol avenue and Ohio street and to
prohibit the operation of either city or
internrban cars in streets within the ter
ritory bounded by these arteries, fathered
by Gustav G. Schmidt, president of jbe
city council, today Is in the hands of a
committee of the whole, with Councilman
Russell Willson as chairman.
The measure was introduced and re
ferred to the committee by President
Schmidt at the regular meeting last
night.
Technical means of establishing the
loop used in the ordinance is the prohibi
tion of the operation of cars within the
territory bounded by the inside curbs of
the streets named above and the pro
vision of a fine of not more than S3OO or
imprisonment for not more than ISO days,
or both.
AMENDMENTS TO
TRAFFIC RULES.
The ordinance providing several im
portant amendments to the traffic regu
lations, sponsored by the board of pub
lic safety, was not introduced, the board
taking heed, it is understood, of Presi
dent Schmidt’s declaration that he be
lieved the council would table such an
ordinance, were it presented, until action
is had on the loop measure.
President Schmidt says the routing of
cars outside the district in which there
is most traffic congestion would eliminate
the necessity of making changes in the
present traffic regulations therein.
.The board of public works, in effect is
given until Jan. 1 to remove the street
cleaning and ash hauling mules and
equipment from the city barns at 1131
Shelby street by the passage of an ordi
nance establishing the new Fountain
Square market in the barns.
The ordinance originally provided that
the market, which is to take the place
of the present curb market in Fountain
Square, should be established as soon
as the ordinance was passed and prop
erly published, but it was amended to
become effective Jan. 1 on recommenda
tion of the special committee of which
Councilman Jacob P. Brown was chair
man.
FOUNTAIN MARKET
ON EQUAL BASIS.
It is provided in the measure that
the Fountain Square market shall be
on the same legal basis as the down
town city market.
Passage of this ordinance establishes
a precedent which paves the way foi
persons living in other parts of the
city to obtain branch markets if they
exert the same kind of persistent pres
sure which the South Side Women’s Club
did.
Popularity of the curb markets which
the club has established at Fountain
Square and in a vacant lot at Arizona
and South Tablott streets this summer
is attested by the fact, according to
Councilman Brown, that between OO.Oud
and 70,000 persons have attended them.
The stand of the council, expressed in
a resolution adopted Jan. 5, In favor of
the erection of a suitable memorial for
World War . veterans, was renewed by
the adoption of a resolution in whten
Corporation Counsel Samuel Ashby and
Mayor Charles W. Jewett are instructed
to keep up their efforts to obtain state
legislation providing that Marlon County
and the city of Indianapolis may raise
money by bond issues and taxation for
Its construction.
FAILED TO
COMPLETE JOB
The special session of the legislature
passed a bill authorizing Che -State- to
raise $2,000,000 toward the memorfal
project, but failed on the last day to
pass the measures giving the county and
:ity a more direct part in it.
The city comptroller wag granted au
thority to negotiate a temporary loan
or loans up to $60,000 for the use of the
park department in meeting a deficit ir.
funds due to tbo mistake in the assessed
valuation of taxable property made be
tween the offices of the county assessor
md auditor last fall.
Appropriations of SIOO for the hire of
special city Judges and $692.62 for the
purchase of a motor truck by the board
Jf public safety were passed.
An ordinance appropriating SI,OOO to
the fund for the compensation of injured
:ity employes was introduced.

bequest of SIO,OOO to the city hospital,

CORONER DENIES
NEGLECT OF DUTY
Issues Statement in Negro
Death at Julietta.
Coroner Faul F. Robinson. Republican
candidate for re-election, has issued a
denial of neglect of duty on bis part in
connection with the death of James
Holder, an insane negro, who died after
having been beaten at the Julietta Hos
ppltal for the Insane, conducted by-
Marion County.
The coroner says that, following an
Inquest be presented the facts he had
gathered in person to the Marlon County
grand jury, then under the control of
Claris Adam? prosecutor, whose dep
uty. tY. P. Evans, is the Republican can
didate for prosecutor, and he also states
that he wrote a letter to the grand jury
asking that the death penalty of Holder
be investigated.
No report on this death ever was
made by the grand jury and no action
regarding It was made public either by
Mr. Adams or Mr. Evans, although the
matter several times has been called to
their attention.
At the coroner’s inquest it was dis
closed that there was a bruise on the
side of Holder's head, another on the
side of the stomach and a deep dent in
the pit of the stomach.
A witness testified he had seen an at
tendant at Julietta viciously kick Holder
previously to his death.
Dr. .Toblnson's denial of neglect in this
case was made to Paul G. Davis, Demo
cratic candidate for prosecutor, who has
been referring to the failure to Investi
gate the death of Holder as one of the
evidences of official neglect on the part
of the present administration of the pros
ecutor’s office.
Mr. Davis says:
“I stated in Saturday’s Times that the
Republican coroner of Marlon County
ordered no investigation to he made by
the Marion County grand jury of the
death of James Holder, an insane negro,
who died at the Julietta Hospital for the
Insane.
“Dr. Robinson, the coroner. has d
--vidbd me that he presented this matter to
the Marlon County grand jury In person
and that he also wrote a letter to the
Marion County grand jury asking that
Holder’s death be investigated.
“No indictment in connection with this
was returned by the Marion County grand
Jury and no affidavit was filed against
any person by the prosecuting attorney.
ask the Republican prosecutor pub
licly to state what Investigation his office
made of the death of tola unfortunate
and what effort he made to bring the
msiter before the Marion Connty grand
lull after pr. Robinson's request that
Holder's death should be invest!gated."

MR. FESLER OUT
TOO FAR, SAYS
COURT’S ORDER
(Continued From Page One.)
on Sept. 4 last, it was with difficulty
that he classified the applications.
•'That owing to the vastness of the
undertaking, the defendant was compelled
to have the entire and uninterrupted use
of the registration applications and poll
books until the lists were completed,”
Fesler stated in his written answer.
He also contended that “to have al
lowed the plaintiff and the public access
lo the applications and books would have
resulted in such confusion that it would
have been impractical and impossible for
the defendant to prepare the lists and
meet the obligations required of him by
law.”
Fesler hazarded the opinion that to
have permitted such an inspection at the
time his attaches were making the lists
might have resulted in "making it pos
sible for many fraudulent and Illegal reg
istrations to stand on the poll books."
It was in answer to pleas of this na
ture that the court ruled that Fesler was
mistaken in his conception of the right
of the public to watch and safeguard the
applications from possible fraud.
Judge Moll heard no witness®, but is
sued the mandate on the strength of
Chairman Sullivan's verified complaint
he had been denied the right to inspect
the registration applications for the pur
pose of determining if there had been any
fraud.
The stand of Judge Moll on Mr. Fes
ler’s attitude regarding the sacred
rights or Sir Toterg T 5 protect the integ
rity of the ballot box removes all doubt
as to the ‘divine t-fght’'' of Leo Fesler
to make his own registration laws.
SAYS G.- O. p. UP TO -
OLD TRICKS HERE.
Methods of registration of voters in
Marion County equal to the methods of
raising $15,000,000 for a campaign fund
were charged against the Republican or
ganization of Marlon County when
Chairman Sullivau won his suit to be
allowed to inspect the registration
books In the hands of Leo K. Fesler
"good government" auditor.
Simultaneous with the granting of a
court order compelling the auditor to
permit inspection of public records, a
“confession" that at least 500 false reg
istrations existed which was made by
Chairman Hendrickson, attracted con
sider.ible attention:
Hendrickson rushed into print to “ex
plain’’ these false registrations' as the
work of a negro woman who did not
“understand the law" and who wrote
the names of the persons registered on
the blanks Instead of requiring the per
sou> to sign the blank.
The fact, that no Democrats were al
lowed to Inspect the registration blank*
by Mr. Fesler Is understood to account
for the delay on the part of Hendrickson
m announcing this false registration un
til the court's order made it impossible
longer to conceal the fraud.
In this connection It has also been
revealed that county employes are being
paid at the rate of 4 cents apiece foi
filing registrations, but that the 4 cents
is not paid to them when the peraon
registered is suspected of beluga Demo
crat.
The 4 cents is. of course, additional to
the salary these employes receive from
the county, and In order to make any
money at the task, the employe is com
pelled to abandon the duties for which
the county pays him.
LITTLE PRITCH

At Stop 4 on the lnterurbnn line to
ward Newcastle, where the two Nipper
people were killed, the Hoosier Motor
club put up on each side of that cross
ing a large sign stating "D-a-n-g-e-r:
Two R. 11. Crossings," and each of them
was torn down.
Those B:gr.s yery likely would have
saved the lives of those two people.
All three of our pole painting outfits
have been working over the State most
all year, for which reason we have not
given as much care to posting roads
about Indianapolis as we would like.
On the other hand there are thousands
of people operating automobiles In Ma
rion County enjoying the benefits of the
pole-marking, danger sign posting, gj
curing good roads and other legisla
tion as well as preventing unfair legis
lation who should be members of the
Hoosier Motor Club and celp us to en
large the scope of our work.
Civic pride and their own protection
should cause them to come in and Join
the club without waiting to be called
upon.
At the next session of the Legislature
we will endeavor to secure a law re
quiring that when ever any road Is
closed for any reason whatsoever that
adequate detour signs shall be placed by
the proper parties and there shall be a
penalty for not so doing.
Also we will ecJeavor to secure pro
vision for placing a special danger sign
along the roadside hack about 300 feet
from the railroad crossing throughout
the state of Indiana.
We have made some headway In prepa
ration of this undertaking.
This alone would justify any motorist
paying $lO for a merabetship in the
Hoosier Motor Club.
Yours very truly.
