BACK TO CITY’S
LEGAL AIDS GO
PLAZA PAPERS
Difficult to Keep Up With
Remonstrance at Special
Council Session.
HEARING WEDNESDAY
The plaza remonstranet Is back In the
hands of the city legal department, fol
lowing a rapid series of moVes at the
special meeting of the city council last
night. Pers ns responsible for the filing
of the remonstrance objected Tlgorously
several weeks ago when the legal depart
ment took the document out of the office
of the city clerk and kept It out about
forty-eight hours, contrary to what the
remonstrators consider the law.
Following receipt of the remonstrance
from the city clerk. President Bussell
Willson of the council referred it to the
elections committee, of which Dr. Sumner
A. Furniss is the chairman and Council
men Jacob P. Brown, Jesse E. Miller,
Otto B. Pettijohn and William B. Peake
are other members. After adjournment
Dr.'Furniss announced that he was turn
ing the document over to the city legal
department.
“I don't want to be responsible for
It.” Dr. Furniss explained. Corporation
Counsel Samuel Ashby was there to take
the remonstrance and the responsibility.
The first of what probably will be a
series of public hearings upon the va
lidity of the remonstrance will be held
at 2 o'clock next Wednesday afternoon,
in the council chamber. Dr. Furniss an
nounced.
SAYS WHOLE COUNCIL
SHOULD BE PRESENT.
In referring the matter to the elec
tions committee. President Willson sug
gested that it would be well for all
members of the council to attend all
meetings of the committee.
“I have referred this to the elections
committee instead or to a committee of
the whole because it will require a
•mailer number of members to be pres
ent when action is taken," he said.
“If anybody, either for or against the
remonstrance, desires to be heard upon
the matter, they should see the chair
man of the elections committee and make
arrangements.
“There has been a good deal said about
the validity of the remonstrauce. It
seems to me that there is but one course
for the council to pursue. Os course,
if it can be established before the coun
cil that it is invalid then that should be
taken into consideration, but, unless it
is proved that the remonstrance is not
good, then there is but one thing for the
council to do, the law is very plain upon
that, and that is to call an election.”
Councilman Gustav G. Schmidt showed
a flash of the old Are with which he has
enlivened many a session of the council
in the last three and a half years when
he refused to vote for suspension of the
rules upon an ordinance authorizing the
■negotiation of a temporary losn of $200,-
000 for the board of public health. Ho
objected, he said, because the health
board did not explain why it needed the
money and unless “they have somebody
up here Monday night to explain why
they want it I'll vote against that ordi
nance.”
ORDINANCE REFERRED
TO FINANCE COMMITTEE.
President Willson referred the measure
to the finance committee with the state
ment that he would like to see it re
ported for passage Monday night when
the next regular meeting is scheduled.
Councilman Schmidt refused to vote
for suspension of the rules upon an or
dinance authorizing a temporary loan of
$500,000 for the general city fund until
City Controller Robert H. Bryson had
been called upon by the chair to explain
and had complied with a statement that
the city must meet pay rolls on and after
Aug. 15 until the November taxes are re
ceived upon money borrowed in antici
pation of the incoming funds. The rules
finally were lifted and the ordinanace
unanimously passed.
The fact that the further rerouting of
downtown street ear lines is held up by
the deadlock between the council re
routing commitee and the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company over the in
stallation of a turn from Washington
street east into Pennsylvania street to
the north was brought out again by
Councilman Schmidt, chairman of the
committee in a brief report- The re
routing committee has recommended to
the council that the company be ordered
to put in the turn. The company con
tends it does not have the SIO,OOO neces
sary to pay for the special work. The
council can not give the company the
money and there the matter stands, Mr.
Schmidt said.
N'OT IN FAVOR OF
JI"NRETTING TRIP.
The proposal of the public service com
mission that representatives of the com
mission, the company and the council go
to Kansas City, Mo.; Des Moines and
Sioux City, lowa, to study street car
routing was not favored by Mr. Schmidt.
“I don't see how such a trip would
help the local situation any,” the council
man said. “What we’ve got to do is to
•top carrying people past the town
pump."
The ordinance appropriating $15,000 for
the expenses of the fifty-fifth national
encampment of G. A. R. late in Septem
ber was introduced and referred to the
finance committee. W. A. Ketcham. na
tional commander of the Grand Army
has not definitely announced that the
encampment will be held here but it is
generaJy understood that it will be.
Ordinances transferring $1,500 from the
police salary to the police material and
supply for traffic regulation fund, of
$2,500 from the city hail furniture and
fixtures to the city hall maintenance
fund, and of $2,500 from the Tomlinson
Hall furniture and fixture to the Tom
linson Hall maintenance fund and ap
propriating $2,000 to the latter fund, were
Introduced and referred to committees.
Ralston Club to Be
Formed in 10th Ward
First steps in the organization of a
Ralston-for-Mayor Club will be taken by
the Tenth Ward Democratic Club In a
meeting in McClain's hall, Hoyt and

An organization committee of five mem
bers from each of the thirteen precincts

‘BUNGALOW’ MAY
CLOSE TOR TIME
Negro Proprietor, at Least, Ex
pects to Be Absent; Going
to State Farm.
John Pash. 437 West Fifteenth street,
negro proprietor of the notorious Bun
galow roadhouse on Brighton boulevard,
was found guilty on two charges by
Judge Walter Pritchard In city court
yesterday afternoon as a result of ills
arrest on two separate occasions in his
roadhouse by Patrolmen E. Heller,
Fletcher and Webster. lie was fined SIOO
and costs and sentenced to forty days
on the Indiana State farm, on a charge
of operating a blind tiger and fined $1
and costs on a charge of drunkenness.
The blind tiger case was appealed to
Criminal Court.
The first arrest of Pash, in which the
officers preferred charges of drunken
ness, resisting arrest, disorderly con
duct and profanity, was made less than
a week after he told Lieut. William Cox
that the police had to lay off of the
Bungalow and quit searching his cus
tomers for “white mule.” Patrolmen
Heller and Webster, however, had not
heard of Pash's threat that he "was go
ing to see someone at th* city hal,” and
at 1 o'clock on the morning of June 19,
started to search several suspicious char
acters who had been enjoying the hos
pitality of the Bungalow.
Pash objected, started a fight with the
officers and caused a near riot which
resulted in his arrest.
A week later, when Patrolmen Fletcher
and Heller were making a clean-up lu
their district, they arrested rash on a
charge of operating a blind tiger.
The police say Pash offered them So
ea' h If they would not arrest him. The
bills were taken to police headquarters,
along with I’ash. and were used in court
as evidence against him.

MAYOR’S LETTER
AROUSES IRE IN
WEST SIDE AREA
‘No Funds’ Reply Causes Tax
payers to Redouble Efforts
to Disannex From City.
Leaders of the Enterprise Civic League,
which Is behind the movement to dis
annex West Indianapolis, stated today*
that it would be impossible for them to
stop the proeeedings. if they so desired,
followin expressions of citizens at a
meeting held in Assumption Hall, 1105 ;
Blaine avenue last evening. Sentiment j
has been aroused to a pitch that can not
be denied, one citizen declared.
Failure of the city to give West In
dianapolis anything of note in return for
the $291,000 in taxes which its citizens
pay each year was forcibly illustrated
again when a letter from Mayor Charles
W. Jewett to a west slder was read. The
citizen wrote to the city hail asking Ts
it would not be possible to get Just one
little load of gravel dumped in the chuck
holes in his street. The mayor replied
with the statement that It could not be
done for the reason that "we have no
funds.”
During the meeting, at which a com
mittee to look after legal phases of seces
sion was named and plans further dis
cussed, one citizen asked Stephen J.
Fullen, president of the league, whether,
if the city administration moved the
garbage reduction plant far outside the
city limits and decided not to locate the
municipal yards in West Indianapolis,
ns well as eliminate some of the other
nuisances to which the residents object
the disannexation movement would be
called off.
NO DRAWBACK
FROM STAND.
“No,” answered M. Fullen with empha
sis, and the 400 citizens in the audience
thundered back as one man, “No!"
Men prominent In the movement cay
that it has passed the stage where there
is a controversy betweeu the section and
the city merely over the matter ot stab
ling a hundred or mulej tipou tho
front doorstep to West Indianapolis.
Prolonged neglect of the section by city
officials has gradually engendered a
feeling that the section has gotten along
without the help of the city so fer
and that it might just as well T)u legally,
as well ns practically, separate.
If it were running its own affairs West
Indianapolis would get something for Its
$291,000 a year, the residents declared.
Emsley W. Johnson has been named
chief counsel of the league's legal staff.
The legal committee will meet with Mr
Johnson in the rotunda of the city hall
at 10:30 oolook Friday morning. They
will discuss the next step in the pro
ceedings and will go before the board
of public works to let that body know
in detail the grievances of West Indi
anapolis.
The petition ror dlsanr.exatlon, which
•tow bears 5,430 signatures, may lie pre
sented to the board of works, or It may
be withheld for presentation to the city
council or use in a suit to be filed in a
Marion County court. It was generally
thought that action will be started
directly in the court.
The league now has about sl2.i'9
pledged for Its fight, according to Presi
dent Fullen.
The committee to determine and direct
legal action Is composed of Mr. Fullen,
chairman: ’ ex Senator Henry Harman,
Frank Truner, Frank Reese, Frank Kath
bun. Father Joseph F. Weber, Noah
Beck, Harry Bear and Mrs. Grant Smith
son, Mrs. Eva Eve and Mrs. May me
Scherer. Ueydon Buchanan, president of
the league, becomes a member of the
committee ex officio, while other officers
—James Lamklns, vice president; Harry
G. Kalb, secretary; Charles A. Board,
treasurer; Ora Shlerwalt. financial sec
retary, and Charles Dill, R. Hackley
and William F. Bornkamp, directors—
will cooperate with the comimttee.
