Indianapolis was transformed into a
college town today with Important foot
ball games both at Washington Park
and Irwin Field. At the former place
Northwestern and Indiana, members of
the Western Conference, went to grips
on the gridiron with thousands of ribbon
bedeeked students and older folk crowd
ing the stands; while out In Irvington the
supporters of Butler College had their
inning, when the Blue and White team
stacked up against the grid warriors
from the Georgetown (Ky.) College.
Co-eds were at both fields in abund
ance and their presence lent a dazzling
blaze to the colorful s—nes surrounding
the clash of the spirited eleveus. The
cheering throngs cut loose early and
city residents not accustomed to college
ways were not slow In Joining iu the
outbursts of the happy rooters.
Coach Stlehm's Big Red team from
Bloomington went into the game today a !
deo'ded favorite aud there were few
present at the game who did not feel
that it was going to be an Ind'ana day
from the starting whistle. However, the
few Northwestern followers present were
none the leas noisy and their confidence
refused to be shaken by the preponder
ance of th Crimson dope afloat through
out the city.
Indiana students came up from Bloom
ington on two specials and they made i
things lively In the downtown section
late this morning by staging a parade
that had any political turnout left at the
post.
Coach Stiehm reported all bis warriors
In shape, while Coaolf McDeritt of North
w**tein said one or two of his regulars
were not sare of starting. However, the
Purple ranks were tilled with splendid
talent and the Evanston rooters did not
show any signs of being worried about
the ability of their team to give the
Hooslers a terrific fight.
- The Washington Park playing field
was in fine shape for the game and the
ground Just right for a fast contest.
The big, flashy-dressed band from In
diana entertained the crowd preceding the
game and drew much applause. The
1 veil leaders tuned up early and led their
sections In thunderous outbursts at in
tervals before the teams made their ap
pearance.
Both Indiana and Northwestern hold
victories over Minnesota and due to this
• record the nonpartisan grid followers of
the city were inclined, to the belief that
the Purple crew was more formidable
than the local estimate rated them. A
place in the first division of the West
ern Conference standing practically
hinged on the outcome of the game and
neither team felt that it was going to
be pushed out of the running.
Out ia Irvington the Butler boys
started their fun late in the’afternoon,
and it was quite apparent, that Butie?
felt cocksure of downing the team from
the Kentucky school.
The Irvington game got a late start
because Georgetown missed train con
nections In Kentucky and the Blue Grass
body's were unable to reach Indianapolis
early. According to an announcement
by Coach Page, tW game was expected
to get under way at 3:30 or thereabouts.
A few Butler regulars were nursing
bruises, but capable substitutes were
•"-ady for the emergency and George-
Ara saw no advantage there. The Irv
ington lads have been improving steadily
and their followers were fairly bubbling
over with confidence today when the
Bulldogs met the Colonels.

POST’S SURVEY
IS FAVORABLE
TO DEMOCRATS
Cox to Win and Party Will
Gain Congress Majority,
Prediction.
Special to The Times.
NEW YORK, Oct. 30—Governor Cox
will win a sweeping victory next Tues
day and the Senate and House will both
return Democratic majorities, if the po
litical surveys of all sections of the coun
try. made public by the New York Eve
ning Post, leading independent paper of
the metropolis, furnishes a correct index
of the situation.
Au unmistakable drift toward Cox Is
reported by the dozen or more corre
spondents who size up the political out
look in the various States.
In all quarters It is found that senti
ment of the League of Nations Is in the
ascendancy and that - the campaign of mis
representation conducted by the league
opponents has run its coarse.
From such States as Ohio, Indiana,
California. Nebraska, Oklahoma, Mis
souri, Colorado, Utah, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Idaho, Washington,.New Hamp
shire. Connecticut and Delaware, the Pest
correspondents send cheering news for
the Democrats.
They mark for defeat the following lie
publican Senators seeking re-election:
Smoot, Lenrqot, Moses and Brandegee
and predict victory for Senator Phelan,
Democrat, in California.
Through the reports of the correspond
ents run the common assertion that sup
porters of Cox and the League of Na
tions everywhere are displaying almost
a religious fervor in the closing days of
the campaign and with this fervor a su
preme confidence in the snecess of their
cause. On the other hand it is dis
cerned that the Republican leaders are
evidencing alarm at the rapid rise of the
Cox tide.
Electoral College

If I am nominated and elected

WOMEN LAUDED
IN FORECAST OF
VICTORY BY COX
Governor Addresses Great
Gathering in Packed Chi
cago Theater.
NEW ORDER IS FORESEEN
CHICAGO, Oct. 30.—The women of
America, the service men and the “In
tellectual elements” are combining in a
great movement In support cf the
League of Nations and the Democratic
ticket will be swept to victory on this
great “tidal wave of popular approval,”
Governor James M. Cox told a stuudiug
rooin-only audience of women at Woods'
theater here today.
Anew day has dawned for women,
the Governor said, nations of the world,
misled by false notions of chivalry, have
kept women In economic and political
dependence, thus depriving themselves “of
the tremendous advantage of woman’s
advice and cooperation In government.”
“We have turned a corner In history,”
the candidate continued.
"Things can never be the same. What
goes by the name of social welfare Is
very Important, but social justice Is In
dispensable. The women will Insist on
It and the nations cannot afford tt
deprive themselves of their cooperation
I believe that women are the torch bear
ers of civllxaMon, the pioneer; of prog
ress. I hnvm_a!ways believed it, ant
what Is more 1 have proved my faith
by my works.”
Governor Cox ther. recited the accom
plishments of "the progrcssirlst move
ment in Ohio.” paying a tribute to the
women of the State for assistance given
in that fight.
“They ardently supported In the light
for anew Constitution,” ne said.
"This Constitution made It pos-lble
for us in Ohio to render definite service
to humanity.
"The support of the women made It
possible for ns to put more than half
a hundred law* on our statute books In
the Interest of social Justice and bet
terment.”
Prominent among these laws. Cox said
were the mothers' pension act. child
labor laws, workmen's compensation
laws, and prison reform legislation.
A Democratic administration, Cox
pointed out. had created a national
woman's bureau, had "set up such stand
ards as the eight-hour day. the Satur
day half-holiday, the limitation of nigh:
work whl’e the Federal'child labor law
and a minimum wage law were enacted

POLICE IN RAID ON
STEGEMEIERS* DEN
Evidence of Gambling Found Despite Hurried
Efforts to Cover Up Betting
Boards and Books .
TWO BROTHERS PUT UNDER ARREST
WHO TIPPED IT?
Shortly before 10 o’clock this morning a search warrant was
issued in the City Court for the betting boards that have been used
for months at the Stegemeier gambling joint at 17 North Illinois
street.
At that time the boards were in place, on the walls, odds were
posted there on the election and on the football games, betting books
were on the counters and men were standing about discussing the
placing of bets.
Within an hour these boards were taken down, the betting odds
wiped off them and all the memoranda and books disappeared from
the public gaze.
In the interval the search warrant had been placed in the hands
of the Indianapolis police force and was waiting service by a squad
that was being formed on the orders of Chief Kinney.
WHO TIPPED STEGEMEIERS that the police were about tc
make a forced raid on their gambling place?
A police raid on Stegemier Bros, saloon, restaurant and gambling den
at 17-19 North Illinois street, was ‘‘tipped off” today by someone either
connected with the administration or in the confidence of law enforcement
officials, in time to allow the employes of the gambling joint to take down
betting boards and, otherwise dispose of evidence against them which the
police* were confronted with the necessity of seizing.
The “clean-up" of tbe notorious place
where gambling has flourished unmolest
ed for weeks, was accomplished long be

CHARGE PLOT TO
BLEED LABORERS
Grand Jury Expected to Indict
Men in Conspiracy.
NEW YORK. Oct. 30—Presentation to
the county grand Jury Monday of evi
dence of a reported conspiracy here to
force tribute fr*>m building trades labor
ing men and from builders was expect
ed to result In four or five Indictments.
Details of the plot were brought to
Lght by n legislative committee which
conducted an investigation here.
The men under investigation organized
outlaw unions, it is charged, and then
forced working men to pay for the privi
lege of holding jobs and at the same time
"shook down’ contractors for tribute also
on penalty of having “outlaw strikes”
called.
THE HIGH COST OF FIGHTING.
MADRID. Oct. 30.—The bull fighters
of Spain are considering concerted ac
tion to get higher pay.
be cognizant of it were Judge Pritchard,
Ralph Spaan of the prosecutor's office.
Captain Johnson, Lieutenant Cox and
Chief Kinney.
Two well-known attorneys of Indian
apolis also were aware of the act on.
Shortly after the warrant wr. deliv
ered to the police, and while Chief Kin
ney and Captain Johnson were organis
ing a squad to make the raid, a repre
sentative of the Times, stationed in the
• s tegeiaeier saloon, observed great activ
ity among the employe# of the Joint.
Retting board* which had been In pub
lic view for weeks were hurriedly taken
down and the 6ett ng odds wiped off
them.
Books in which were recorded the bets
wre hastily concealed and persons who
had heretofore not found It difficult to
place bets in the place were informed
there was ‘‘nothing doing."
ACTION SURPRISE TO
GAMBLING FRATERNITY.
The closing down of the betting was a
distinct surprise to the gambling frater
nity, which wns expecting a big day ow
ing to the two football games In the city.
Heretofore there has been no conceal
ment about the betting.
Persons who wished to wager money
made that fact known to the employes of
the Joint end their bets were posted cm
the boarS.
When there were takers, memoranda of
the bets were made in duplicate and the
printed end numbered slip.; were handled
to the takers in place of the money
which they bet.
A representatives of the Time# recent
ly placed a bet under thee condition#
and the memoranda was reproduced in
the Times of Oct. 18.
Expose of the methods did not stop th#
gambling, which continued unmolested by
the police or the prosecutor’s office until
today, when the search warrant was Is
sued.
Then the betting stopped, even bpfore
the owners of the gambling joint# could
he served with the warrants.
NONE CONNEC TED WITH
THE POLICE SURPRISED.
Lieuts. Cox and F. Winkler, accom
panied by a large number of uniformed
police nnd plain clothe# men, arrived at
the Stegeraeier Brothers’ restaurant, dry
beer saloon and gambling house at 11:30
o’clock, armed with search warrants.
No one connected with the place ap
peared surprised or worried at the sad
den appearance of so many policemen.
However, there was a hurried exit of
about twenty men who had been stand
ing near the cigar case and in the front
part of the gambling Joint from which
the betting boards had disappeared.
The search of the basement and the
restaurant room revealed nothing, but
when Lieutenant Cox nnd Bicycle Officer
Dalton started to search the shelve# In
the rear of the cigar case they began t#
find evidence that betting had occurred
at Stegemaler's. an<L then Lieutenant
Cox called for Henry Stegerae’er.
