TAKEN TO COT"RT AS
KEBCLT OF STRIKE CALL.
The case of the miners was taken to
the Federal Court last November when
a general strike waa ordered in the bi
tuminous fields.
The Government took the attitude that
the strike wns a violation of the Lever
act and, accordingly, numerous nnion
officials, including John L. Lewis, presi
dent of the United Mine Workers of
America, and all the other International
officers, were called Into court and en
joined from doing anything whatever to
further the strike.
Later the miners were called Into court
on charges of contempt as a result of
alleged violations of the Injunction order.
At this time It was reported the miners
ind 1 ©orators wers working together la J
the strike.
Thia resulted In a grand Jury Invesri- i
gation which was followed by the In- i
filetment of 125 miners and operators on
tharges of conspiracy to violate the j
Lever act and violations of that act.
The defendants, represented by Charles
Evans Hughes, contended that the Lever j
ct was unconstitutional and were sue- i

Motorization of Department
Proposal Still an Idea.
Although mors than a month has
passed since the board of public safety
Cleared the road for bids and the letting
of contracts for motorization of the Are
flepartment there was no Indication to
day when action would be taken.
Bids have been before the board for
thfee weeks. Frequent fruitless confer
ences with the city council have been
held to obtain an agreement from that
body for the approval of the contract*
and a bond Issue.
No reason for the continuous bicker
ing has been given.
The present delay. It was explained to
day. is due to the fact that officials in
the legal department had been so busy
in the campaign that the necessary legal
papers have not been drawn up.
It was predicted that the contracts
will be awarded and the ordinince rati
fying them and n $500,000 bond issue will
be presented to the council at a spe
cial meeting Monday night.

has been invited by Judge Anderson to

ASHBY DENIES
MONEY IS PAID
OUT ILLEGALLY
Corporation Counsel Says City
Has Not Allowed Claims
Improperly.
In making an Illegal payment of $12,-
000 to the William Grace Company, a
Chicago contracting firm, which until re
cently had the contract for the comple
tion of the first unit of the new sewage
disposal system, the board of san.tary
commissioners did not act lu accordance
with “procedure followed In several
other city contracts,'' as the board. In an
apparently Inspired article In the In
dianapolis News last Monday, attempted
to show, according to a statement of
Samuel Ashby, corporation counsel, to
day.
The sanitary board disagreed with the
William Grace Company over the manner
la which It was conducting the work
with the result that the company re
fused to go on with It. Monday It was
annonneed by the board that It bad con
cluded an agreement with the United
Statj% Fidelity and Guaranty Com
pany widely known In Indiana as having
Will H. Hays, Republican national chair
man, on Its board of directors, to com
plete the work at a price 121,000 more
tlan the William Grace Company hud
agreed to do it for.
DISCLOSES ILLEGAL
PAYMENT OF *12,000.
The United States Fidelity and Guar
anty Company had furnished bond that
the William Grace Company would com
plete the contract for $321,000 by Dec.
1, 1920, but the sanitary board In Its
new agreement undertakes to extend the
time limit a year and to pay the bond
ing company $342,000. In the extensive
“explanation" of this unusual procedure,
based upon what Is called a statement
of . Lucius B Swtth, member of the
board of sanitary commissioners, tt is
disclosed that the board made an Illegal
payment of $12,000 to the William Grace
Company in July.
The "explanation'* of this little slip
with the taxpayers' money reads:
“In July the company asked the board
to pay for materia! .received. The board
Investigated and found that this pro
cedure had been followed in several other
city contracts. It accordingly allowed

the board of directors of the company,
said he was nr longer for the plan.
He said he ueama convinced the plan

AFTERMATH OF
GREAT BATTLE
No Spirit of Rebellion Reacts
to Practical Wiping Out
of Party.
SURVIVAL fS DOUBTED
Politically speaking, and no one has
spoken otherwise for several weeks, there
was an air of great contentment in In
dianapolis Wednesday and today.
Although a great party practically had
been wiped out of existence by the vote
of. Tuesday, not only In the nation but
In th© State and county, there was no
spirit of rebellion against the results
evidenced by denunciation or expres
sions of disappointment.
No occasion remained to quarrel about
the results. The verdict of the voters
jvas too overwhelming to permit of chal
lenge.
Whatever improprieties there were in
the conduct of the election could not by
any stretch of the Imagination be made
to show an effect on the results.
Person* who were deprived of their
right to vote by reason of the unfortu
nate collapse of the registration system
tested content In the knowledge that
their vo'e* would have made no differ
ence in the results.
Everywhere there was a sigh of re
lief that the struggle was over Occa
sionally the' man "who knew what the
result would be all along" endeavored
to boast a little but n> received with
smiles and a scattering audience.
ANALYSIS OF VOTE
ATTRACTED LITTLE ATTENTION.
Analysis of the vote and the causes
thereof attracted little attention. Criti
cism of the manner in wnicta the losers
handled their campaign and praise for
the winners waa received without enthu
atasu
The populace generally did not expe-t
such an overwhelming decision and while
It was willing to concede success to tli
managers of the victor* u exhibited too
much good tense to attribute any super
natural proweaa to them.
In the hearts of the Democrats there
were some misgivings at to whether the
party would survive the shock. Con
templation of the next election, Involving
the city administration of Indianapolis,
was not pleasant either for the Repub
licans who had won such an overwhelm
ing vldrory, or for the Democrats, who
had been advised that they had bo
strength in the city.

127 LEFT TO GOV. COX
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—The unprece
dented Republican victory, growing by
leaps and bounds hourly since the polls
closed Tuesday night, reached Its maxi
mum proportions today when late re
turns dispelled the donbt that lingered
over New Mexico and definitely placed
this State In the Hardlng-Coolidge col
umn.
With only two counties missing in New
Mexico Senator Harding has a lead In
the returns of “000. The partial returns
yet to come In from these missliig dis
tricts cannot change the result.
Along with Arizona. Missluro, Tennes
see and a few other States, which the
Democrats did not give up until the last
moment, the addition gives the Repub
licans a victory so gigantic that even
G. O. P. leaders find it hard to realise.
GIVES G. O. P. 494 YOTFA
IN ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
Senator Harding and Governor Cool-
Idge will have 494 votes In the electoral
college. Only once before In the history
of the nation has this electoral vote been
surpassed That was In 1912. the year
of tbe Republican schism, when Wood
row Wilson rolled up 435 votes in the
college. Before that memorable year,
Theodore Roosevelt held the honors, hav
ing received 336 votes In 1904, the year
which Republicans have always pride
fuliy pointed to as representing the blgh
water mark of political endeavor and
victory. /
Harding and Coolidge carried thirty
six States, taking along with them to
triumph the governorships of twenty-six
States and numerous senatorial and con
gressional candidates.
They even shattered some Democratic
Institutions like Champ Clark In Mis
souri and Senator George Chamberlain In
Oregon.
TEXAS ELECTS
A REPUBLICAN.
Texas elected one Republican Congress
man and several Texas towus gave Hard
ing a plurality, although the State, of
course, was traditionally Democratic.
Cox and Roosevelt will have only 127
votes in the electoral college.
YY bile it probably will be some days
before the popular plurality of Harding
and Coolidge will be definitely known.
It now appears certain that It wl4, be
around 7.00,000.
The greatest plurality given Harding
was from N*w York—l,oßo,’CO and the
smallest probably from Arizona, New
Mexico or Neveda, where the Republican
plurality will be from 8,000 to 5,000.
HARDING’S LEAD IN
OKLAHOMA BJI3
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 4.—Oklahomg
has Joined the nation in a Republican
landslide and for the first time since
statehood has deserted the "Solid South."*
Returns from 1,974 precincts out of
2,685 show Senator Harding leading Gov
ernor Cox by 8,513 votes. The votes in
these precincts gave Harding, 172,313;
Cox, 103,800. Completion of the vote was
expected to give Harding a plurality of
more than 10.000.
J. W. Harreld, Republican, has a lead
of 17,537 votes over Scott Ferris, Demo
crat, for United States Senator, in re
turns from 2,058 precincts. t
Indications were thaf t.he Democrat*
have lost four seats in Congress. Bert
Chandler, Republican, apparently ham
been chosen from the First district.
Charles Swlndall (Republican) has been
returned from the Eighth district for
the short term and Manuel Herrick (Re
publican) for the long term. In the
Fourth district, J. C. Pringey (Repub
lican) appears to have been elected.
Elmer Thomas (Democrat) and\ L. M.
Glnsman (Republican) were running a
close race la the Sixth district.
MILLER’S ELECTION
BY 70,000 FORECAST
NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—While Tammany
Hall today refused to concede the defeat
of Governor A1 Smith, figures now al
most complete assure the election of
Judge Nathan L. Miller, Republican, to
the Governor’s mansion at Albany.
With only 120 up-State election dis
tricts missing out of 7,308, Miller had
a lead of more than 63,000, which the
missing districts cannot make up. Re
publican leaders forecast that complete
returns would show Judge Miller’s plu
rality around 70,000.
The Governor's remarkable feat In run
ning considerably more than a million
votes ahead of his ticket and rolling up
more than 800,000 plurality In Greater
New York City, was proof positive in
Democratic eyes that A1 Smith could cap
ture about any of the city’s political
