TOKIO, Sept. 9 (Delayed).—Japan has sent a note to China outlining the basis and condition upon which Japan will withdraw from the Shantung pen insula and the Chinese government at Pekin now has the communication under consideration, it was stated today in authoritative quarters. The Japanese government also has sent notes to the United States and Great Britain explaining the terms up on which Japan promised to leave the Shantung peninsula. Despite protests from a section of the public, the Japanese government is go ing ahead with its efforts to settle the Yap Island, Shantung and Siberian issues before the disarmament and Far East conference opeus in Washington in No vember. Those who are opposed to a preliminary agreement contended all negotiations should be left to President Harding’s conference when all the great powers of the world will be represented. The Cabinet's choice as ieader of the Japanese delegation to the Washington conference ,has not been revealed, even if there has been a definite seletion. In th opinion of many the Japanese dele gation should be beaded by Admiral Kato, Japanese minister of marine. It is understood the real choice lies between Kato and.Count Uchida, the foreign min ister. I. U. WILL OPEN MONDAY, SEPT. 12 Enrollment Expected to Be Record-Breaker—Many New Buildings Added.

It is alleged the cost of the im provement will exceed fifty per cent of A>e appraised value of abutting prop erty e T - - SONGS OF HATE INDULGED IN AT SHANK’S PARTY Ralston Object of Mudsling ing Oratory f t G. 0. P. Nominee’s Home. 3,000 ATTEND THE FETE A torrent of hot oratory aimed at Boyd M. Ralston, Democratic nomi nee for mayor, the like of which has not been heard since Samuel Lewiß Shank, Republican mayoralty candi date, and Thomas Carr Howe, one of his opponents in the primary, went up and down and across the city of Indianapolis denouncing each other, was unloosed by speakers at the city wide lawn party at the Shank resi dence, 3547 East Washington street, last night. Mr. Ralston was held up and paraded all over the atmosphere covering the “front lawn” as the present associate of men known for their operation of the notorious Cleveland house, a gambling Joint which Mr. Shank said he had such a hard time closing during his adminis tration that Martin J. Ilyland, his chief of police, had to take personal charge of the job. The meeting also was marked by a declaration of Frederick E. Schortemeier, secretary of the Republican State com mittee, that as the official representative of the State organization he was em powered to promise that the full strength of the Republicans of Indiana is behind the candidacy of Mr. Shank as it is be hind all other Republican nominees for mayor in Indiana cities. BEST SPEECH OF CAMPAIGN'. Mr. Shank delivered what was consid ered the best speech he has made since his nomination, getting down to brass tacks long enough to let the crowd of between 2,000 and 3,000 supporters know in no uncertain terms exactly what some of the things are he hopes to accom plish as mayor. He was roundly ap plauded when he declared that when he is elected, policemen no longer will be compelled to walk their districts singly after dark and that the police force will have to spend more time catching “rob bers, thieves and footpads that prey upon our citizens than it does in going ten miles outside the city to wave a ied lantern iu the face of a bootlegger who ought to be caught by the authorities whose duty it is to guard country terri tory.” William E. Reilly, city attorney during the Shank administration, and candi date for the Republican nomination for prosecuting attorney last year, took the lead in the attack upon Mr. Ralston, j Thomas S. Meeker and their associates. j “Ernie Kingston, (Republican city! vice chairman acting as chairman) lias j more brain- in his big toe than Tom j Meeker has in his big head,” roared Mr. 1 Reilly and the audience cheered. “I do not believe in personalities J However in a political campaign we have j a right to examine into the putdic records i of the candidates. We also have a right to ascertain what kind of people sur round the candidates. “It is quite true, of course, that Boyd M. Ralston is not responsible for quite all the people who surround him in this campaign. He makes his effort to get all the support he can. Because some sur round him who may be considered not quite worthy is not proof that he him self is not worthy. Likewise when Mr Shank makes his appeal the mere fact that some who are not quite worthy respond is not indicative that Shank himself Ts not worthy. Asa matter of fact Boyd Ralston gets his support from whomsoever he can and so does Mr Shank. CONTROL CAMPAIGN MIST CONTROL MAN. “However, whenever it becomes ap parent that four or five people get con trol of a candidate’s campaign then we have a right to assume that they control that man. "It is charged that Shank in backed by a certain element. We are told that the underworld is for Shank. I do not believe it. If you searched the record of those who supported Shank In the primary and those who are supporting him now you viil find that the gamblers and all those of the underworld were and are against Shank. “Now who supports Ralston. Ralston assuming all the virtues in the world — and I don’t like that attitude of assum ing all virtues—Ralston saying that so and so and so and so is supporting Shank. “Who supports Boyd Ralston?” He drew from a pocket two letters. The first he said, was addressed to the police men and firemen of Indianapolis. It was addressed from the "Public Distributing Company, rooms 309-310 Indianapolis Se curities Company,” we said. It re3d : “I would like to see you in per son at my office, 309 310 Indianapolis Securities building, corner Market and Delaware street, at your earliest convenience. “I have a matter of importance to take up with you and would he glad to have you call without unnecessary delay. “Respectfully yours, “JAMES D. MORIARITY.” James D. Moriarity: “I am going to pass the mantle of charity over Jim Mo riarity,” said Mr. Reilly. “What he has done is in the past, and I don't want to cause the ghost of any man’s past to rise up in the night and haunt him. He read from another letter, this one on stationery of the Democratic city com mittee and addressed to “Dear Demo crat.” It was signed by City Chairman Meeker. He said he was going to read only part of the letter. This is what he read: “Bear in mind that this election and the work we must do to win is Just as important as though we were In a great war.” The speaker stopped reading and remarked : UNDER 45 AND NOT IN WAR. “This man is under 45 years of age, and when the country was at war where was he? He was right here.” He resumed reading: “We are fighting for a great principle and we have just as much of a patriotic duey to perform in this campaign as though our country was in danger; our city's welfare and future are in the balance, and If the op position wins we will be turned back ward twenty years and will not progress in the next four year .’ administration, which, if elected, will only bring disgrace to the name of Indianapolis throughout the country.” The part of the letter which Mr. Reilly did not read was an appeal to Demo cratic workers to get busy on registra tion. “Who Joins Jim Moriarity and Tom Meeker? Cocky Shea! Cocky Shea,” the speaker spat it out with venom— “ Jerry Casey and Big Jim Ryan.” “Who are they ? When I was a young man I worked on an Indianapolis newspaper. One night they sent me out to the Cleve land Club, where Jesse James dropped dead when he left the poker table. These were tt' men who were running the place. Cocky Shea, Jerry Casey and Big Jim Ryan.” “Is there any question that they are behind Ralston ? Well go see him any day and see them hanging around him ententes —I guess I should say Parasites.” 1 He vnlrt he had heard the bootleggers’ DOG HILL PARAGRAFS ■ iWPIT —--- A total stranger came through town this afternoon. Sidney Hocks said he knew somebody was coming because his nose had been Itching all morning. • It is being advertised around on thf trees and barns that Atlas Peck will make a public address at the Wild Onion school building Friday night. At las is a right good speaker, but his main fault is that he always has something to say in conclusion three or four times before he concludes. * • * * The Mail Girrler has made the demand that after his death, if he is ever thought of, he must not be referred to as tbr "late mail carrier.” union held a meeting the other night and decided to petition Mr. Ralston “to change the donkey emblem to a white mule.” "Ralston ! I heard him make a speech the other night aud I want to tell you that if conceit were consumption he’d be a corpse. “We know what Cocky Shea and Meeker and Big Jim Casey did, but tell me what Ralston ever did?” A voice- somewhere off in the crowd piped out: “He raised the rents.” The crowd laughed. ONE RAISED RENTS, OTHER BOUGHT COAL. “I’ll tell you what he did on the west side,” continued the speaker. “He did just what you said he did and now I’ll tell you what Shank did. He bought some coal for a poor old woman aver there whom I know.” Stating that he had an opportur.lty as city attorney to observe Mr. Shank s acts as mayor very closely, Mr. Reilly said Mr. Shank was the first man to make the street car company pave be tween its tracks, that he caused track elevation to be started, that he put in more sewers than any mayor before or since, improved more streets and did heroic relief work during the 1913 flood. "He possibly used poor grammar, tint every time he uttered something It had behind It a constructive thought. “We seemingly have forgotten one of the greatest things Shank ever did. When he came Into the mayor's office Indianapolis was cursed with the shame of an avenu? of sin. When he came in he looked at that thing, grounded as it was in the history and the very vitals of not only this city but every other municipality in the country. And Shank then and there put the Iron claw down Into the mire, picked up that thing, dripping with sin as it was, and cast it out. I don’t mean that Shank utterly blotted out sin, that Shank blotied out the scarlet woman. That thing was a problem before the Pharoabs and it will be here uutil the sands of the desert grow cold, but I do say that Shank abolished (he avenue of aln. "If Shank never does anything else in his life, this thir.g alone should make him worthy of your earnest support. "When Shank did that he dealt a death blow to the red light districts of the United States. Immediately after be struck that blow Martin Hyland, hts chief of police, began to receive letters from citizens of Chicago, Detroit, Cleve land. all over the country, asking how it was done and when it was explained these other places followed. "Compare that with what Boyd Rals ton has done. "And now I'm going to tell you why the underworld iu not for Lew Shank. It Is because when he struck the blow ut the avenue of sin he struck a body blow at the keystone of the underworld.” After several others hd spoken the crowd kept calling for Shank. “If 1 do all that this gang’s told you I’m going to do you'll have to keep on voting for me for thirty years because It all simply can't be done,” said Mr. Shank as be took off his coat. NO GRAFT PROMISES SHANK. “There's not going to be a dollar of graft In my ad nlulsf ration," he promised, prompting cheers. "That does amount to something. .Tewott already hr.* reduced taxes a million dollars and I'm not even in the chair.” It is great trouble to be a mayor, the nominee said. "There’s never a meeting out here that some fellow doesn't ea. me out and tell me what Job he has picked out. Yes, and the ladles do tt too. One lady told me the other day that she wanted the comfort station. I told her that it was all right with me. but she had better see my wife about it.” He said he was going to choose good men for his boards and other appointive positions. "If they don’t do right we'll just fire them." Women, he said, are going to get some good jofts. “Why one of them asked me for the dog pound the other day. So far as I'm concerned she can have it., too.” He Is particularly interested, he said, in having a woman aid in running the market house. “I always was and am Interested in that market house. It's Just about, one of the best In the country and we want to make it the best and better." Better care of the streets, continuance of the policy of compelling the street ear company to pave between Its tracks, more cars and better service from pub lic utilities all around are things he in tends to fight for, he said. These are things he accomplished as mayor be fore. he added. "Just compare my accomplishments with those of any other mayor and see If Lew Shank was not as good ns any of them. I’ve no apologies to make. If I made mistakes, and of course I made some, they, were mistakes of the mind and not the heart. "Who was it who went right down into the flood in West Indianapolis and did what he could. Who was it who went down to Tomlinson Hall and tried to get Jobs for these hungry men shovel ling suow while Mrs. Shank helped feed them ?” “Lew Shank,” came a chorus from the audience. UPHOLDS POOR BEER DRINKER. Growing reminiscent, Mr. Shank told how the ministers used to come to him and tell him that they were drinking beer and dancing down in the little shack of somebody or other. He said he al ways told them: “Yes, and they're drink ing beer and dancing and eating over in the hotels und getting full and falling into fountains, and if they're going to do it in the hotels they're not going to be stopped down in the poor devil's house. “It's no disgrace to be poor, but it s darned inconvenient sometimes.” be said. “The only difference Is that the one eats porterhouse about that thick and the other eats pork chops. “Now this doesn't mean that I’m go ing to turn the town over to the boot leggers. either. I'm ne* - ‘ng to turn INDIANA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,1921. the town wide open. I’m Just going to live and let live.” Training his guns, which were smok klng by this time, toward his Democratic opponent, Mr. Shank declared: “I’ve got twenty-five or thirty ready to get on the stump and go after him on the rent profiteering business. We've got something on him and if he keeps on wanting to start something I guess we'll have to go after him when the campaign opens.” Becoming more serious Mr. Shank said that be is not against the big corpora tions, that he li not against business. “I’m for the ut'titles. I’m for business. We’ve got to have them. You understand that. And the utilities and business gen erally have got to have money enough to run cn. I’m a business man myself and I had to raise the salaries of my em ployes. I had' to raise the storage rates myself. The gas company, the electric companies, the street car company, the water company, all of them have go to have money enough to operate on with out going broke, but by George, there’s no excuse for raising their rates right now, when everything else if. coming down.” The man who works, genera.ly needs someone to help him look after his in terests, said the nominee, but “the fellow with four or five hundred thousand dol lars can take care of himself and every body else if you don’t watch him.” “One fellow came to me the other day and said: ‘Lew you’re a little too friend lv to the laboring man.’ I said to him, ‘No I’m not. I Just believe in the poor man getting what’s coming to him Just as I believe the employer should have what’s coming to him. I want them both to have a fair chance.” He said he was going to try to solve the traffic problem and that he was not going to permit this thing of the mayor and city employes Joy riding around In city automobiles. They must be used for city business only, he said. RALSTON NOT BAD POKER PLAYER. "Ralston’s not the worst poker player t I know,” Shank exclaimed. "I’ve seen , some worse, but he’s pretty cloggoned rotten. Then he goes around talking like Lew Shank is immoral. Well Just let him keep his own skirts clean and stay out of my back yard. He’d better lay off of me.” Mr. Shank went back to the police de partment, stating that if he is mayor he Is net going to permit the expenditure of $30,000 a year, “Just to gather Information for a New York advertising agency. If they want their Information let ’em pny. for getting it themselves. I don’t in tend to have $30,000 spent just to have thirteen Blips made out every time some fellow gets pinched for backing ais car into the wrong alley.” Stating that he had been misquoted several times upon the point, the candi date reiterated his statement that the policeman who keeps hts district clean est and yet makes the fewest arrests is the one who is going to get the gold medal at the end of the year. “Get me right now. I said the policemau who keeps his district CLEANEST and makes the fewest arrests.” Too many people are baled into city court unjustly, he said, citing the iu- j stance of a boy who was picked up In an east side restaurant by a patrolman ! "who had It in for him” and compelled to lay in Jail two days under SI,OOO bond upon a vagrancy charge until he, (Mr. Shank) found out about It and got Judge Walter Pritchard to let the prisoner out upon a promise that be (Mr. Shank) would be responsible for him.
