CHEST TOTAL
NOT AVAILABLE
FOR A FEW DAYS
Clerical Work and Subscrip
tions by Mail Hold Back
Report.
The Soul of City
Despite the fact that the Community
Chest campaign did not reach its
financial goal, I believe that we did
accomplish a tremendously vital
achievement in quickening the soul of
ur city. Through three weeks of
united effort hundreds of the com
mercial, financial, professional and in
dustrial leaders of Indianapolis have
put into solicitation for the Commun
ity Chest all they had of persever
ance, energy and argument. In the
face of small totals at daily lunch
eons they went back into the battle
with fresh spirit, not always hoping
for attainment of 100 per cent suc
cess, but determined to leave undone
no action that could bring pledges.
For unity of' ideals; for shoulder to
shoulder purpose to carry on against
discouragements: for loyalty to In
dianapolis and its civic responsibili
ties these splendid men and women
deserve the thanks of our community.
L. C. HUESMANN,
Chairman Board of Directors. Com
munity Chest ot Indianapolis.
Subscribers to the Indianapolis Com
munity Chest are urged to send the May
15 payment to Frederick M. Ayres, treas
urer, 207 Chamber of Commerce building,
without waiting for formal stnioments to
be mailed. The member institutions of
the Community Chest are in need of
fnnds immediately, and because of the
large number of pledges received in the
dosing days of the campaign it is not
possible to accomplish the clerical work
of making out the usual statements.
"The total received in the campaign
for funds just closed cannot be deter
mined for several days." was the state
ment this morning of F. E. Angerer, sec
retary of the board of directors. "Solici
tation is still being made in a number of
the industrial plants, and each mall
brings remittances and pledges from cou
pons published in the newspapers of the
city. Although the campaign is formally
closed, subscriptions will be received at
any time."
Officials of the Polar Ice and Fuel
Company were surprised after pledges
had been made to have several men a?k
that the amounts subscribed be in
creased. Inquiry by B. F. Schmidt, an
officer of the company, developed the fact
that one of the employes who asked that
his pledge of $1 a month be changed to
$1 a week was responsible for the in
creases.
"This man. who is employed as a
driver,” Mr. Schmidt wrote in a letter to
A. G. Ruddell. team captain, "was out
of work last winter: was behind in his
rent, and his entire family down sick.
“He applied for assistance to the Com
munity Chest, and out of gratitude for
the timely relief then given, is now an
enthusiastic worker for the cause. It
seems to me this working man sets a
ahining example for other citizens of In
dianapolis to follow."
Subscriptions received in the mail this
morning Included the following: Juliette

TRANSFER MAN
UP ON 18 COUNTS
W. S. Frye' Accused of Vio
lating State Motor Vehicle
Laws.
Prosecutor IV. P. Evans today filed
eighteen affidavits in Criminal Court
charging William S. Frye, a transfer
man of this city, with violating the State
motor vehicle laws.
, Nine of the affidavits charge that Mr.
Frye failed to display number plates on
his motor cars, and the other nine charge
that he failed to pay a registration fee
for the machines with the Secretary of
State.
The prosecuter is determined to test
the validity of the laws, which are cov
ered by 1913 and 1919 acts of the Legis
lature. Much litigation already has de
veloped over the statutes.
Some time ago. Judge James A. Col
lins sustained a motion to quash In a
case agaList Frye, charging him with
failure to* display number plates on his
trucks. The court held at that time that
the amendment of 1919 to the 1913 law
was unconstitutional in that it provided
for an increase In the registration fee.
According to Judge Collins, Frye was
not to be permitted to operate his trucks
without a license, but was to tender a
fee as provided in the 1913 statutes to the
secretary of State. This fee would have
been refused and then the attorney gen
eral was expected to bring mandamus
proceedings In the Circuit Court to test
out the question.
According to the court, the fee was
never tendered and no mandamus pro
ceedings were instituted.
WILL CONTINUE
WORK AT PLANT
Stutz Factory Suffers Dam
ages From Fire.
Production will continue and the plant
will again be in full operation within
a week or ten days, despite the fire at
the plant of the Stutz Motor Car Com
pany, Inc., Tenth street and Capitol ave
nue. yesterday, which caused damage es
timated at more than $100,900, according
:o W. N. Thompson, president and gen
eral manager. The fire is thought to
have started from spontaneous combus
tion in a pile of cotton trimmings on
he third floor of the plant.
Much damage was done by water and
moke, in addition to that caused by
lameS. The blaze was confined to the
ompany’B warehouse, which Is separated
rom the otl-.gr part of the plant, and
where a large stock of unassembled ma
terial is stored. Damage to the other
■•arts of the plant was confined to fire
ind water damage.
The burning cotton made a stubborn
blaze, and it was with difficulty uiat the
firemen were able, after an hour's work,
to throw the cotton to the street, where
the blaze was extinguished. The value
of the cotton was estimated at $7,000. A
new stock of tires, bought less than a
week ago. was partiaUy destroyed, at
an estimated loss of $28,000.
Operations at the plant will be contin
ued in other departments, according to
Mr. Thompson, and the factory will be
ready at all times to greet visitors to the
city.
CEOBGE GAUL TO ENTERTAIN.
George Gaul, of the Stuart Walker
Company, will be the guest of Nelson
Trowbridge at the weekly luncheon of
the Rotary Club next Tuesday at the
Clsypool Hotel, and will be the head-
of the program.
Cops Locate ‘Mule’
Instead of ‘Fight’
Harry Cramer, 40. and William Har
ris, 34, both of 3445 West Washington
street, were arrested last night by Ser
geant Tooley and a squad on the charge
of operating a blind tigeF. The police
were sent to the West Washington street
address on a report that there was a
fight in progress. They failed to find
the fight, but found five gallons of “white
mule” whisky and four barrels oof corn
mash. The liquor is said to have been
burled In the back yard.
BOY SCOUTS IN
HEALTH MOVE
Patrol Streets and Remind
Crowds of Anti-Spitting
Ordinance.
Boy Scouts, bearing health slogans of
various types, all emphasizing the anti
spit campaign of the Marion County
Tuberculosis Association, patrolled the
downtown streets today and reminded
Saturday crowds that antl-spittlng
ordinances and health rules should be
observed. F. O. Belzer, Scout Master,
volunteered the services of the Scouts to
the local antl-tuberculoiis association.
Dozens of organizations of citizens
have indorsed the health campaign and
have adopted resolutions urging the en
forcement of anti-splttlng ordinances
and regulations. A peculiar develop
ment pf the anti-splttlng campaign ap
peared at the headquarters of the tuber
culosis association today when a man,
living on a rural route In the county,
wrote the following to the association:
“Your anti-spitting campaign Is a
step in the right direction. And now
if you can get druggists and other em
ployes in drug prescription departments
interested in an anti-spitting movement
in the line of not sealing the flaps of
envelopes Into which they put pills, cap
sules, tablets, etc., with their tongues,
this will be another move in the right
direction. If you will send volunteer
observers Into different drug stores
(■especially the smaller ones) and make
observations of the many times these
envelopes flaps are licked generously
with saliva. It might help make us see
the necessity for a definite move to stop
this practice.”

REPUTED YEGG
IS RETAKEN BY
ILLINOIS POLICE
Stevens, Bond Jumper, May
Be Returned Here for
Trial.
Edward Stevens, alleged yeggman, and
a bond Jumper, is under arrest at the
Macoupin County Jail in Seottsvllle, 111.,
according to Information received by the
Indianapolis detective department last
night. \
“It Is really Stevens tilts time,” de
clared Lieut. Henry Askins of the de
tective department today, recalling the
numerous reports that the department
had received of Stevens’ arrest, which al
ways ended proving to be some other
person.
Stevens’ arrest recalls one of the most
sensational police cases in. the history
of Indiana. Indianapolis detectives a
year ago Investigated a series of safe
blowing jobs, but were unable to cap
ture the burglars. However, two detec
tives learned that a guest at the Hotel
Severin had received from the checkroom
the wrong traveling bag and had re
turned it. The guest had pried open the
bag In such a way as to discover some
burglar tools. The detectives examined
the bag, removed some nitroglycerin from
it and placed it back on the shelf In the
checkroom. Then they waited and
watched for the owner to call. When a
neatly dressed man oglled for the travel
ing bag they followed him to a room
where they arrested him. He gave his
name as Arthur Welling. Then they
heard some man slip quietly along the
hallway, tap on the door of the room
and the detectives opened the door and
met a veritable giant. They covered
him with revolvers and he proved to be
Edward Stevens.
STEVENS ESCAPES
BY BOND ROUTE.
The detectives obtained Information
that resulted in the men being charged
with burglary as wall ns having burglar
tools In their possession, ana it was
alleged they were the men who blew a
safe In an oil filling station at Meridian
and Fall Creek boulevard. They were
also Indicted at Shelbyville.
Then came the sensational Jail deliv
ery, in which twenty-four prisonera es
caped last July, after sawing the bar
from a cellroora in Federal row. Welling
was one of these and was met in the
alley by men who waited for him in an
automobile near the jail. Stevens was
said to bo too large to get through the
hole. However, he was “sprung” in the
way that many a criminal has escaped,
by the bond route.
James Collins, Judge of the Criminal.
Court, reduced his bond from SIO,OOO to
$5,000. This was pnt up in cash and a
SI,OOO £ond was put up at Shelbyville.
After' the bail was reduced. Judge
Collins left the bench for several days
on vacation. The sheriff refused to ad
mit Stevens to ball because the reeords
sflowed that a bond of SIO,OOO was re
requlred.
ADAMS All<B IN
BOND REDUCTION.
The benevolent Claris Adams, former
proßecutcr. assured the Judge pro tern
that he • knew” It was the Intention of
Judge Collins to reduce ail the bonds to
$5,000.
In this way, Mr. Stevens was ac
comodated aid Jail doors opened for him
on the stnngtb of $5,000 as a cash
bond.
When Stevaos failed to appear, Judge
Collins ordered s he cash bond forfeited.
Prosecutor William I*. F.vans has filed
suit in the Circuit Court to recover on
the bond and, the ea'e Is pending now.
According to the information received,
Stevens 1s held under the name of
“Henry Russell” at Seottsvllle. He wag
Identified, howaver. by Detective John M.
Shea, of the St. Louis (Mo.) police de
partment. Sheriff Morris of Seottsvllle,
wrote that Russell, alias Stevens, was
captured with two other men about forty
miles from that city after a safo had been
blown there and a quantity of gold coin
stolen. The sheriff stated that some of
the gold was found oi the men.
The police have had frequent reports of
Stevens activity in Illinois since he left
here.
MANY AGAINST

Board of Trade; Charlotte Catheart.
speaking for the Fletcher American
Company and C. O. I’eake of the Nor
dyke & Marmon Company talked In
favor of the ordinance.
When Mr. Peake declared that a poll
of the 2.800 employes of Nord.vke & Mar
mon showed approximately 95 per cenl
in favor of daylight saving Councilman
G. G. Schmidt asked him If he remem
bered what happened when the same
question was up last year.
Mr Peake said he did not, and Mr.
Schmidt asked
" Don't you know that when your firm
represented to us last year that the em
ployes were 90 per cent In favor of day
light saving and that when we made a
check we found there were actually not
fifteen for It?”
Mr. Peake did not know of this.
TIME CHANGE HEED
HEALTH DETRIMENT.
Clock retarding was opposed from a
health standpoint by Dr. W. 11. Foreman.
"I do not speak from a business stand
point,” said Dr. Foreman. ”1 speak
from the standpoint of the health of the
community. Those who favor this ordi
nance talk about getting more daylight.
•Why don't you know that on these hot
'summer nights you can't gat to sleep be
fore midnight and that to arise an hour
earlier in the morning would Just de
prive you of that much sleep.”
He declared that to make the hour of
rising one hour earlier In the hot sum
mer months would be Injurious to the
children of the community, particularly
those who would have to get up an hour
earlier in order to get to school on time.
“During the war when we had daylight
saving I heard repeated complaint on this
very score,” he said. "From a health
standpoint, I would rather have one hour
of sleep In the cool of the morning for
the children than three hours of play In
the park In the hot, dusty afternoon. It
Is absolutely wrong to cut off sleep In
order to add an hou. of playtime In the
afternoon.”
Dr. Foreman remarked that he aid
not nee very many laboriug people at
and Councilman Louis W.
Carneflx Interposed:
LABORING PEOPLE
NOT AT MEETING.
“You understand, don't you, doctor,
that the reason you don’t see the labor
ing people here is that they are at work
and can not get here In the afternoon?”
“Let the autoista ride and the golfers
golf, but let us poor people have a lit
tle rest In the morning,” shouted C. F.
Emerson, West Indianapolis negro, In
an attack upon the ordinance. Such a
ndlsy~demoi)stration of approval result
ed that Dr. Furnlss rapped for order
and threatened to stop the hearing If
the citlxeng did not refrain from ap
plause. Dr. Furntss had requested that
there be no handclapplng at the start
of the hearing.
A plea for. the death of the ordinance
INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, MAY 14,1921.
was made on behalf of the farmers and
the working people by Hanry A. Harmon,
who said that the farmers would have
to carry two clocks and that the first
thing the Republican Congress did when
it got into power was to repeal the na
tional daylight saving law.
He .raid the manufacturers were “up
here” trying to get their automobillng
and their golf time and to force an im
position upon thousands of people in the
city and hundreds of thousands outside
the city who have dealings with those
within.
C. B. Schafer of the Paper Package
Company took issue with statements
which had been n)ade touching upon the
authenticity of the polls which had been
taken among factory employes. He said
that he would personally vouch that the
vote of 85 for and 8 agtlnst the ordi
nance, rendered by the people In his
plant, was correct.
The shop girls of Indianapolis want
daylight saving, declared Mrs. John
Judah. She decried the statements of
some of the opponents to the effect that
the extra hour of sleep In the morning
was valuable asking: “Haven't ,we
heard from the time we were born,
•‘Early to bed and early to rise?’”
“Babies are the patent early risers of
the whole wide world,” she said. Mrs.
Judah said that It would be a good
thing if parents would get to bed earlier
in the night, having always believed
that the sleep obtained before midnight
was the best of the whole night.
“There are babies in this city who
wake up an hour before thejr parents
want to and they get spanked because
their fathers and mothers go to bed an
hour too late.”
She cautioned the coundlmen to re- j
member that all of the young women,
whom she said were for the ordinance,
now are voters.
COMMISSION
MAN OPPOSES.
Stating that although he is a
ber of most of the business men’s organ
izations which had made expressions
favoring the ordinance, he had come as
an individual citizen to protest against
it, A. M. Glossbrenner, prominent com
mission merchant, spoke. He said that
the argument of men whose business in
terests are affected by the fact that mar
kets are closed earlier in big cities which
have daylight saving in favor of the
passage of thq ordinance here was not
sound, for the reason that all of the big
eastern markets always have closed an
hour earlier than those of Indianapolis,
dne to the normal difference in time.
Mr. Glossbrenner Intimated that some
prominent men favor the ordinance be
cause it will give them more time to
play golf and said:
“I play golf. If you please, but I play
It on my own time and 1 do not think
anybody ought to play golf who can not
play on their own time.
“I don’t want the present hourly
schedule in my business disturbed.”
We’ve had enough disturbance. If we’re
ever going to get hack to normalcy we'd
better leave things like this alone.”
WOODBIDE LEAGUE
AGAINST MEASURE
C. A. Gndbury. representing the Wood
side Loyal Civic League, and Mr*. Mary
Moore of Woodslde argued against the
measure.
The ordinance wa upheld by Margaret
Shipp on behalf of the Women’s Rotary
Club.
Farmers of Marlon County are opposed
to Uaylight saving. Royal McClain. Mar
lon county agricultural agent said.
"Some of these younger people had
better be thinking more about agricul
ture than of golf and baseball,” be de
clared.
Emerson Chaille. real estate dealer, was
in favor of the ordinance and reported
that the Indianapolis Real Estate Board
I stood likewise.
| The Irvington K. of P lodge voted 28
| against and 2 for the ordinance, Stephen
B. Allen reported
Because he would have more time to
spend in his garden and around hts
home, George Newton favored the^chßnge.
Councilman Jesse E. Miller, himself a
business man. entered the discussion.
“i don’t see why these factories in
favor of daylight saving don’t start their
men working an hour earlier under the
present tlmp systemV he said. “I think
that would be a good thing because It
would distribute the morning rush on
the street car lines over more time and
relieve congestion.”
SAYS 75 PER ( END
ARE OPPOSED.
“if ail the people who desired to attend
the hearing could have gotten away from
their work it would bavs taken a hall as
large as Tomlinson Hall to hold them,”
said Ho.vdon Buchanan, president of the
Enterprise Civic league In reporting his
body against the ordinance. “At least 75
per cent ,of the residents of West Indi
anapolis are opposed to it.”
J. R. Lynn said he was for it because
other largo cities have daylight saving.
‘‘Apropos of that remark and others of
the same kind which have been made,"
said President Russell Wlilson of the
council, “I’d like lo ask If Indianapolis
depends more upon Louisville ami Chi
cago for its livelihood than it does on
the ninety-two counties of Indiana,
which do not have daylight saving.
Aren’t we dependent almost entirely upon
the small communities of Indiana?”
Councilman Miller said that he be
lieved President Willaon wus right and
that Indianapolis would be put in a
bad light with all of the smaller cities
of the State by passage of the ordi
nance.
“It seems to me that that would be
a good thing to think of," replied Mr.
Willson. He pointed out that the Cham
ber of Commerce spends thousands of
dollars in creating good will for Indian
apolis business among the smaller cities
ai-.d that It would be folly to damage It.
Albert Neuerburg, real estate man,
wound up the hearing with a protest
against the ordinance.

DEMOCRATS PUT
IN DEMAND FOR
MEEKER’S SCALP
From Page One.)
Shank In the primary and never ap
pear to be told twice the same way.
INSIDE DOPE
ON COCKY SHEA.
Cocky Shea, who is now leading an
effort among Democrats to keep Meeker
In the chairmanship, la the same man
who was snob a prolific source of In
formation concerning Democratic affairs
to the Indianapolis News when he was
custodian of the Ptatehouso and the News
wag waging its relentless warfare on
Mayor Joseph E. Bell. Ho Is known
among Democrats as an active and ar
dent supporter of the News in all po
litical intrigues, and it is generally be
lieved that the numerous conferences be
tween Meeker and the News during the
primary campaign were arranged through
She*.
The attitude of B. M. Ralston, the
Democratic nominee, toward a reorgani
zation of the Democratic committee has
not yet been publicly expressed, but his
friends declare that he realizes that
Meeker cannot conduct a successful cam
paign for him, owing to the lack of
confidence li Meeker, which Is so preva
lent among Democrats.
URGE RALSTON
TO DEMAND RESIGNATION.
It is known that Mr. Ralston has been
urged to take the same steps that were
taken by Mr. Phsnk In regard to the
chairmanship of the Republican organiza
tion. Shank publoly demanded the resist
nation of Irving Lemaux in the Interests
of party harmony.
Mr. Ralston is confronted by the tame
situation that confronted Shank. He
can not expect harmony In the coming
campaign if Meeker is to be allowed to
manage the campaign with Cocky Shea !
nt his elbow and Thoinns Riley, of ,
Mayor Jewett’s board" of works, meeting
him In conferences over the party
organization.
Just when steps will be taken by the
Democrats to straighten out the organi
zation tangle Is not definitely known.
Whenever the leaders of the party desire
it, Information as to Meeker's unfitness j
to conduct the Democratic campaign will j
be laid before them. In the meanwhile,!
the Democrats of Indianapolis are almost J
as badly disrupted ns are the Repub- j
licsns. The only difference seems to be !
that the Republicans have taken steps j
to bring about a reorganization of a
committee that Interfered with the sue- j
cessful candidate while the Democrats ■
have delayed any attempts to formulate |
an organization that might conduct a j
winning campaign.
WEEDING OUT
IS NECESSARY. .
Mr. Ralston's chances of being elected |
mayor aro suffering through the lack of I
activities that would make It possible j
for the members of his own party' to get I
into the campaign behind him. On the
ability' of thoso Democrats who really j
desire to gee him elected to bring about
an organization capable of lining up the
whole Democratic party in the city de
pends his chances of election.
There 1s a general feeling among
Democrats that unless the Meekers,
Sheas, Rileys and others of bi-partisan
leanings can be ousted from prominent
places around the Democratic council I
tables, there will be no campaign worth
mentioning this fall, even though there
Is a large clement of the Republican
party dlssat'sfled with its nominee.

UNCLADJN COLD
Local Appeal Is Made for In
fants in Central
Europe.
It was bitterly / cold —-so cold that a
fur edat was quite comfortable.
A group of women gathered at the door
of a hovel In Central Europe scattered as
the nurse approached. “Anew baby
there," was volunteered. The nurse went
In and found the mother lying In a few
handfuls of straw, while a weak wail
coming from a newspaper bundle nearby
told of the presence of the new arrival. 1
Taking off her flannel waist, the nurse
wrapped it round the mite so recently
“from the blue sky.” And that is not
an isolated case, but one of thousands
where not a single article of clothing Is
to be had for anew Infant.
Over In central Europe—in Poland,
Jugo Slavia, Hungary and the Baltic
states —there ate millions of children
whose clothing consists of only .’ags,
which may not he- taken off to be disin
fected because it would fall to pieces
and there would be nothing left to put
back on. Thousands upon thousands of
children must remain indoors —otten in
bed—for lack of clothes. And layettes
in those countries mean any old ra.fr or
newspaper that can be picked up in the
streets. Sick and well, old and young,
are huddled together In moldy cellars
or subcellars without windows. The
only fuel supply is that which may be
picked up in the streets. Very few fam
ilies have any blankets.
Europe has not been able to stabilize
itself, restore its equilibrium and return
to normal. Unexpected situations and
conditions'have arisgn. Disease and star
vation have increased everywhere and
Europe has been unable to meetvfhem.
therefore must help m<>e.t them,
and now falls to the American Red Cross
lo organize a nation-wide campaign to
obtqln 250.000 layettes and ever 2.000,000
garments for European children up to
fourteen years old. ' The local quota Is
1,300 layettes and 11,000 garments—prac
tical garments of all kinds and sizes for
girls and boys from two to fourteen years
old. While the general nation wide drive
will be production, locally It will be
terme-d “Klotlics for Kiddles,” and will
be pushed Intensively, as the garments
must be ready for shipment from New
York on July 1.
No solicitation for donations of either
money or new materials is to be made
—though either will he acceptable—as the
drive will be a thrift or conservation one,
women being asked to contribute second
hand garments and materials that ate In
good condition, durable and warm, adapt
able In their original state or when re
modeled for children’s wea • during the
cold months of the year. Garments may
he made of any serviceable material, in
any color, and any pattern may be used.
It is hoped that the actual work of re
modeling garments and making up ma
terlals will he done, for the most part,
in private hemes, church and clubrooms,
civic nnd community centers.
Organization plans are now being per
fected by the Indianapolis chapter, which
will soon issue a "Call to the Colors"
to all former Red Cross volunteer work
ers and .to all other young girls and
women who wish to take part in the
Klothes for Kiddies drive. Meanwhile,
volunteers who wish to enroll for serv
ice may eall at 413 Chamber of Commerce
or telephone Main 2170 or Auto 27-752.

To feel weary without having

Too Weary to be Efficient
A hundred people describing thelF
weary condition would each tell it
differently. One can’t think, an
other is drowsy, the next feels
weak, others are Irritable, moody,
depressed, apprehensive, as the casa

grandest reconstructive agencies
ever devised for definite accomplish
ment. It intensifies the activity ot
the vital processes, provokes in-)
creased flesh, stimulates the pro

against depletion and consequent ex
haustion and in many other ways
arouses the functional processes to
make you feel that something ha
touched that one flickering vital
spark you thought was about to go
out. No amount of description cam
adequately convey the difference be
tween the feeling of lack of nerva
speed and the rebound, the free
dom, the liberation from depressions
that cause so many men and women
to fall in their tracks, to go to
