CARLIN SHANK
TO FACE FIGHT
FOR BOARD JOB
Eickhoff Says He Will Make
Single-Handed Commis
sioner Race.
‘MACHINES’ COLLIDE
Opposition to the renoruination of Car
in Shank as the Republican candidate
'or county’ commissioner from the Sec
>nd district became assured today fol
lowing the tiling by Arthur Eickhoff. liv
ing on the Michigan road near Liberty
avenue, of his intentions to be a candi
date for the Republican nomination for
•ommissioner from Shank's district.
Although Mr. Ticklioff says he is not
lie candidate of any faction of the Re
publican county or city organization, it
s coucteded that he can expect no sup
..rt from the Coffin-Dodson wing be
anie George V. Coffin following bis ap
pointment as cmmty clerk to succeed
Richard V. Sipe, must necessarily be for
Carlin Shank and Earry Tutewiler, the
,wo county commissioners who appointed
him. -
The candidacy of Mr. Eickhoff is looked
upon as a “Shank-Tutewiler menace” be
cause it is not known if the Sbank-Armi
tage-City Hall 9*ction will do anything
to aid Carlin Shank because Commission
ers Shank and Tuteviler climbed out of
the Shank-Armitage band wagon when
Coffin was made county clerk.
The Shank-Armitage faction vas
anxious to have the commissioners ap
point Henry Cochrane as clerk to succeed
Sipe and a meeting was held with those
forces for the purpose of obtaining a
promise from Commissioner Shank that
Cochrane would be appointed.
SHANK HEMES
alleged pledge.
Commissioner Shank denies he
promlsd Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank,
Cochrane would be appointed clerk.
"I told Lew after Coffin was appointed.
I took his advice —‘Take care of my
friends," said the commissioner. i
It has been evident for some time the
Shank'-Armitage forces would not
‘■swallow” Harry Tutewiler, a commis
sioner who is seeking re-nomination at
the coming primary. Carlin Shank and
Tutewiler Cuts far have played their,
cards together.
A neffort v.as made to induce Shank to
run for the nomination for county
recorder instead of for the commissioner
ship. In that way. the Shank-Armitage
fences could have eliminated Tutewiler
from the political arena by putting out
their own two candidates for county
commissioner, but Carlin Shank refused
to be a candidate for that office.
Those who are in a position to be in- !
formed declare Arinitage at this time is i
not sure of his grounds !n the Shank- I
Tutewiler situation, since he does not
know whether the mayor will throw his
organization strengt hin Interest of Carl j
Shank, or whether the mayor will adopt
a "hands-off policy 1 or openly declare wa
against the Shank-Tutewiler combine. ;
FALL IX LINE
BEHIND NEW.
By lining up with Coffin and Dodson,
Cariin Shank and Tutewiler virtually be- :
come Senator New men as the entir*
eourthoi se organization is known as a
“New machine." Mayor Shank has de
clared himself to be an out-and-out Bev
eridge man in the senatorial fight.
As far as the Podson-Coffin-co irthouse
machine now stands there can be no com- i
promise on the New situation. The old
Jewett -I.emcke forces are for Senator
New and County Auditor Leo Fesler is
for New.
Leaders of the courthouse group would
not be surprised if the Sh .nk-Arniltage
element would ‘forget” Carlin Shank In
tn effort tV put Beveridge across in
Marion County.
The action of Commissioners Shank
and Tutewiler bolting from the Shank-
Armitage faction indicates the two com
missioners feel the Coffin-Dodson support
is more valuable than the Shank-
Armitage-ci'y hull faction. Shank and
Tutewiier administered a terrific political
setback to the Armitage-city hall crowd
when George V. Coffin was appointed
county clerk. It is known now Shank
and Tutewiler never mentioned the pos
sibility of making Coffin county clerk
until it was time to make the appoint
ment. County Commissioner Albert Hoff
man admits he had no idea the other two
commissioners were considering the ap
pointment of Coffin, because he under
stood Shank and Tutewiler favored j
CoehraEe.
MACHINE COMBINATION
THOUGHT LIKELY.
It is poll ted out in the enthusiasm to
put New jver in Marlon County, the'
Coffin-Dodson-court house faction might
unite with the Jewett-Leincke crowd.
Mr. Eickhoff fur ten years was con- .
neotod with the Indiana Xationnl Bank
and for fotir years was a deputy in the |
treasurer’s office during the terms of Ed
ward G. Sourbier. At present ho is con
nected with the Bankers’ Investment Cnm
panr. with offices in the Merchants Bank '
building.
1- - understood Commissioner Tute- j
iriler also will have opposition at the j
primary.
Judge \Y. W. Thornton of Superior •
Court, room 1, today filed notice of his
intentions of being a candidate for re
nomination on the Republican ticket.
Co-incident with evidences of a com
bination of Jewett - I.emcke and Coffin- |
Dodson forces there was circulated a re- I
port County Chairman Harry C. lien- j
drickson, cog in the old Jewett-Roemler- :
I.emcke organization, is demanding the
resignation of several ward chairmen who
sre understood to be allied with the
Shank leaders.
It was said leaders of the Marion
County Republican League, which Is
seeking the election of William H. Free
man. member ot Mayor Shank's board of
public works, to the county chairman
ship were surprised at tlie strength of.
Freeman sentiment found In every ward ,
when they called precinct committeemen |
and ward chairmen to headquarters last
week and this is thought to be cans ;.e
Mr Hendricksor some worry.
SITUATION IS
BATHER ODD.
A peculiar situation exists in a number
of wards. The leaders in the Shank
-amp In the last city election were
dubious about the loyalty of several
regular ward chairmen so they ignored
them and named Shank workers in their
place Edward Unversaw In the Fifth
Ward end Tommy Dl’lon in the Eleventh
Ward went two such substitute chairmen.
In the coming fight for party control
the regular chairmen are expected to
attempt to take command of the Ward
machinery. Owing to the built
ap by their substitutes in municipal
campaign several stiff Battles for W ard
supremacy undoubtedly will be off
shoots from the main fireworks.

LIMERICK. Ireland, March 9—This
city remains quiet and hope is grow
ing a clash between the loyal troops of
the Irish Republican army and the re
volting Limerick and Tipperary battal
ions will be averted.
A wavering Limerick brigade the reb
els were trying to get has united with
the loyal troops supporting Michael Col
lins and Arthur Griffith. Farleys be
tween representative* of both sides con
tinue.
The loyal sojdlers have taken up their
quarters in their barracks. The rebels
who formerly occupied the barracks have
converted several small hotels and the
poorhouse into cantonments. Further
reinforcements of loyal troops have ar- |
rived here and the rebels are greatly out- ]
numbered. Both sides are fully armed
for ‘‘field service.”
It was reported Miehael Collins and Ea-I
mono De Valera, the two rival leaders In
Irish politics, may come to Limerick.
In addition to the loyal reinforce- j
merits additional troops have reached the
rebels. Leaders of the insurgents claim
they soon will outnumber the loyalists
four to three. The revolutionists have
occupied a boathouse and Limerick bridge
commanding the main entrance to the
city.
In addition to the parleys here con- j
ferences are being conducted in Dublin, j

INDIANA KEEPS
PACE IN WORK
OF BUILDING
Marion County Trades Body
Gathers Information From
All Sections.
A symposium of the building and con
struction industry, now being compiled
at the offices of the Marion County Build
ing Trades Council, taken from reports
received from all sections of the country,
show that Indianapolis and Indiana are
as far advanced with building prospects
a.- juy other section.
Contracts awarded in the New Englant.
States, tor the mouth of February, show
approximately $10,000,000, a considerable
increase over the same period of a year
ago.
in Rhode Island the situation appears
to tie somewhat better than anticipated,
but prices of building material are still
at a high figure. .
SEES REVIVAL.
New York City and State show a very
heavy res’dentlal construction, with
Boring buil<!|:ig operation!) Indicating
much larger totals In the immediate tu
tu..-. i lie favorable attitude of the State
Legislature on the lecommen iatlons of
tl e Lockwood housing committee that in
surance companies be permitted to in
vest up to 10 tier cent of their total as
sets in the erection of new dwellings, is
resulting in active plans for construc
tion work of all kinds, particularly ia
residences.
In New Jersey heavy activity continue*
in the building industry, anil primarily
In the line of residential construction.
New records are being established in
Philadelphia for building operations,
with a heavy movement for resilience
construction.
Baltimore continues to add to Its
building total, and February advance fig
ures closely parallel the $3,000,000 mark
reached In Jfftiuary.
During the ast two weeks building per
mits in Pittsburgh totalling over a mil-
I 1 on dollars, have been applied for and
actual construction has been started in
many instances.
BUILDING DEMAND
IN OHIO DISTRICT.
Indications in the Ohio territory are
far a better building demand and pros
pects much brighter. On the whole it
is believed 1922 will be a better year
than 1921.
Cincinnati building construction is ex
pected to reach big totals in May. That
feeling is based on the large number of
big contracts already let. A large num
ber of proposals are being advertised
In Cleveland builders demand a return
to the 1920 rate and base the claim *n
the fact that there is an abundance of
building to be done. Builders and the
unions are deadlocked over the wage rate.
Building prospects n Louisville are
generally good and looking promising, if
only a small percentage of the big work
In sight comes out this spring, Louis
ville will bo unusually active In the
building line and labor be fully employed
at good wages.
Birmingham contractors expect the
year 1922 to be one of the best. They re
port that a number of buildings arc al
ready under contract or the plans be- ;
ing drawn.
Building activities continue steady
throughout the southeast, especially in
the large industrial cities and centers.
Builders estimate that construction for
the first two months of this year has
beeu 75 to 85 per cent better than tn the
same two months a year ago.

BELIEVE ILLINOIS
MINERS HOLD KEY
WASHINGTON, March 9.—The Illinois
miners today guard the only loop hole
through which settlement of the threat
ened nation-wide coal strike may be ef
fected, according to the general belief
of Government officials here.
Secretary of Labor Davis believes, it Is
learned authoritatively, that tho Illinois
district agreement will be made and that
other districts will follow in reaching
separate conclusions with their operators.
It Is estimated by responsible author
ities that at least 75 per cent of the
workers would be willing to sign separ
ate district agreements if the Illinois
"experiment" Is proved successful.
A certain portion of laborltes, how
ever, believe such agreements would
work for the detriment of the national
organization and result In “overthrow''
of John L. Lewis, president of 'the
United Mine Workers, who has staneh
ly opposed State settlements.
Operators, on the other hand, are en
ihuslastic over the turn of affairs.
State agreements can be made more
easily because the arrangements can be
suited to local conditions, they say. It
will not mean a breaking up of the union
they maintain, because the national union
is essential to a peaceful arrangement.
The American Federation of Labor
meantime is silent on the differences be
tween President Farrington of the Illi
nois and Lewis. It is understood, how
ever. the federation is prepared to give
active support to the miners in case of a
strike.

and the workers cither agree with the
operators or break, the. entire national

ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 9—The interna,

board by Frank Farrington, Illinois dis
trict president.

Farrington's telegram to Green follows:
“The district executive board of
Illinois laughingly compliments tho mem
bers of the International executive board

Farrington yesterday served notice on
Green .that unless an Interstate wage
parley is arranged before March 31, he
would try to negotiate a separate wage
agreement with Illinois mine owners.
The operators already have asked for
a separate conference. He reiterated his
statement today to reporters.
The miners and o,e eater's executive

HIGHWAY BOARD
SEEKS REMEDY
FOR ROAD EVIL
Gravel and Stone Surface
Found Not Altogether
Satisfactory.
Inspection of several hundred miles of
State roads constructed of gravel and
crushed stone reveal some bad spots
which might be termed failures, declare
members of the State highway commis
sion, discussing the best plan for main
taining heavy traffic In the most trying
season of the year.
In some Instances a road of this type
proceeds for several miles in a stretch
almost perfect in construction, and with
standing both elements and hard usage,
then suddenly a break or bail spot ap
j pears, said Earl Crawford, commissioner.
Again a wet spot will develop in the
crown or on the side of the highway, and
despite efforts to eradicate It through
spreading repeated layers of gravel and
crushed stone, the wash and wear con
tinues.
In the oi>inion of highway engineers
now giving this matter exhaustive study,
these bad places, or failures as one engi
| neer terms them, are due to the following
causes: Lack of sufficient draina'ge into
: side ditches due solely to delay in mov
ing back fences and telephone poles per
! milting the maintenance department to
! cut drain ditches; insufficient metal, weak
place in the foundation and, where the
road develops boggy spots, possibly a
spring under the surface the water from
which must be taken cate of by tile
drains. However, engineers are agreed
by increasing the strength of the founda
tion it muy be possible to eliminate the
presence of spring water and, following
the policy of Governor Warren T. Me- j
Cray and the commission to maintain this
type of road In the very best condition,
have started work of Increasing the
foundation strength.

Doctors Puzzled
by ‘Psychic Sneezer’
DENVER, March 9—Miss Eula John
son, the “psychic sneezer." has been re
lieved of h.-r aliment, declare Denver
physicians, v'; > assert that her belief
that she “had to Bneeze” was the real i
cause of her constant sternutation.
The victim of the strunge neurotic nf- j
diction xvas brought to a Denver hospl- j
tal from her home In western Nebraska, I
and her almost ceaseless sneezing for a
time threatened serious consequences to
other patients, who were kept In a state
of sleeplessness and frenzy by tbelr
sternutative companion.
Miss Johnson’s condition became so hys
terical and she suffered such mental
torture that It was Impossible to adminis
ter anaesthetic. Through the use of
powerful sedatives, however, she was fin
ally made to sleep, and the “psychic
sneezing" disappeared upon her awak
ening.
"It was entirely a psychic con
dition,” physicians said. “We do not
know that there ever was such a case
before In the medical profession. The j
woman, whose mental condition brought
on the strange affliction, suffered tor
tures. and If the sneezing had continued
much longer serious results might have j
ensued.”

ST. LOUIS EXPERT
TO PASS ON HEIGHT
Will Advise on Building Plan
for Monument Circle.
George E. Kessler, eity plan expert of
St. Louis, today accepted the task of
advising the city plan commission as to \
what building height regulations should
be made in Monument Circle. The com- j
mission sent him the invitation to under
take the task after property owners and
the Monument Commission and architects
representing both sides had failed to
agree. Mr. Kessler will come to Indian- ,
apolis soon after March 18.
Property owners wish the present 89-
foot limit raised to 125 feet to permit the i
erection of modern, ten story buildings ;
The monument commission does not i
wish the limit raised at all unless there i
Is provision that there shall be a uni- !
form material used on the fronts to de- j
crease the height illusion, and in such
case approves an increase only to 104 j
feet.
