BOTH CLAIMING TAGGART
BUT LEON BAILEY SEEMS TO BE IN
THE CLOSEST TOUCH.
Democratic Congressional Convention
Next Thursday-CaII for the
Township Primaries.

The Democrats of the Seventh congress
sional district, composed of Marion and
Johnson counties, will hold convention for
the purpose of nominating a candidate for
representative at the Criminal Court room,
Thursday next, at 1:3O o'clock p. M, Chair
man Taggart having issued the official call.
Primaries to select 103 delegates from this
county will be held Wednesday afternoon
and evening, according to the call of
County Chairman Bell The members of
the executive committees from the various
wards and townships will call the primary
meetings to order.
Politicians are predicting that the conven-
ton will be cut-and-dried affair. AL
though there has been an effort to compel
Capt. w. e. English to allow his name to
be used, his repeated emphatic assertions
that he is not candidate and cannot ac-
cept the nomination under any crcum-
stances WILL perhaps, prevent the use of
his name. Some days ago it seemed as
sured that Leon o. Bailey would be the
nominee, although there were hints at that
time that third candidate might be
sprung. Friends of Henry N. Spaan have
been using his name in this connection the
last few days. Jacob P. Dunn is still a can
didate, but it is claimed that he will not
make much of a showing, most of the poll
ticians declaring that the Taggart ma
chine will put through Bailey States at
the primaries. Last week Mr.. Bailey s
friends were still asserting that Mr.. Dunn
would not get a dozen votes from Marion
county. On the other hand, the Dunn con-
stituency still insists that Taggart is for
Dunn, and that his influence will be used in
that direction. What color the use of
SPANS name will cast on the convention
remains to be seen. From the best informa-
ton obtainable it SENS that Bailey will be
nominated.
Soon after the congressional convention
Chairman Bell will issue the call for the
township convention, at which justices of
the peace and constableS are to be NOM
mated as well as for the legislative con-
ventions. There are not many avowed can
didates for the minor offices, as the Demo-
Gratis have no hope of carrying the county.

KINGAN STRIKE FAILS.
State Labor Commission Unable to
Help the Men.

The state labor commissioners have about
given up hope of effecting settlement of
the Kingan strike here. Several of the
men who have families to support have re-
turned to work at the old price, and tie
new men imported to take the places of the
strikers continue to work without any fric-
ton with the old men. The strike is gradu-
ally dropping out of sight and apparently
dying of itself. Many of the strikers have
left the city and taken places in other
cities, leaving only a few to continue the
passive fight here. AS the company has
been for some time turning out its ordinary
output of products, and claims to be able to
hire all the experienced men it can use. the
labor commissioners feel that there is little
they can do in the way of mediation. The
understanding existing between the pack
ing house owners of the country, though
little talked about. has been too strong for
the men of a single house to overcome. and
in the opinion of men who professionally
study industrial problems, there seems moth
ing for the strikers to do but to take po-
sitions either with Kingan & Co. or else
where.

*. OF Po
INCOME FROM WAR TAX
SALE OF STAMPS IN INDIANAPOLIS
HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE.
Those for Documents Yield Four
Times as Much as Those for Pro-
prietary Articles.

While Indianapolis is not rated among
the revenue offices of the country, as one
of the leaders in point of receipts yet the
income from the war tax here has been a
large one. The practical working of the
new revenue law since July has demon
strated that the documentary stamp tax is
yielding four times much in revenue as
the proprietary tax. In discussing the re-
ceipts and the reasons for the difference
in the size of the receipts between the two
kinds of stamps, Deputy Collector Glover
said the main reason was that the denom-
nations for proprietary stamps ran, in the
maximum, to only insignificant amounts,
While the documentary stamps were issued
up to $50 in value During the first days
of the working of the new law the receipts
for proprietary stamps were comparatively
large, but since the first rush the income
from this class of stamps has been small.
On July 1, when the law went into effect,
the sales amounted to $3.50, jumping the
next day to 1864. Then came the gradual
decline of receipts each day from July 8,
as follows: $780, $780, $5O6, $lS6, 1922 SIS, $27S,
$S7. $54. $685. and from that time to the pres
ent day ranging at about an average of
$65 day.
With the documentary stamps the average
has been much higher. On July / the re-
eeipts from the sale of stamps were 1862.
The next day they fell to $2SS, but the
day following went up to s., 45O, and on July
aggregated $3515. The business done since
that time, day by day, is as follows: 81, 236,
375, 1925, $734 1923, $780, 1929, $517 1926, $685.
1926 $50, 1916, $40S, $,0l1, $161, $685. $277 $780,
$522, 1896, 1890, $456, $S2S, 1915, $27S, $274.
Many people who visit the revenue office
are of the opinion that the present war tax
will not continue beyond the time the war
actually ends. The revenue officers here,
however, feel that as 1t has been shown that
the tax is not a hardship the people it
will be continued until the government con-
cludes all its present plans. The ease with
which the present ample revenues have been
raised without materially mountaineering
any one in this country has, in the minds
of the revenue officials, suggested to the
government the easiest way by which to
enlarge the navy and standing army. While
the receipts from this Office will furnish
little or nothing in the way of an estimate
as to the aggregate amount taken in in
the country as a whole yet when the rela-
tive Importance of Indianapolis is consid-
cred, first thought would suggest an i'm
mense amount

BY O'Clock yesterday morning he had not
returned to the corridor, where Barber Was
patiently waiting. At last Barber sent
note to the room requesting a settlement.
The bellboy brought him a S. BILL which
he promptly sent back to the room With the
information that if the claim was not paid
in full he would have their baggage, al
ready at the depot ready to be shipped,
attached by a constable. No attention was
paid to this. Barber sent a boy TO Justice
Hays house, but he did not arrive in time

Station and attached the cases containing
the four wheels, worth many times the

men went to the station, expecting TO leave

was understood that they would not leave
until last night, but Barber had an idea
that they would try to slip

1t is claimed at the Justices office that

forenoon and in a roundabout way went

A BANNER TOMATO PACK
WITH OTHER VEGETABLES, AND
WITH FRUIT, THE CROP is LARGE.
Gamers Making Extensive Prepare
tiOns-COntract for the Law Build
ing Let-Other Building.

The packers of fruits and vegetables are
beginning to stir themselves. The pack
of tomatoes will be the largest the Indian
apolis packing houses have ever put up, so
promising is the crop. In other fruits and
vegetables the packings this season have
been in excess of former years. The Van
Camp packing house will pack over two
million two and three-pound cans of toma-
toes, and expect by the close of the week to
have over eight hundred men and women
at work. A considerable per cent. of the
output is already sold. The Hosier Pack
ing Company for some time has been push
ing things, turning out over five thousand
three-pound cans of fruit butterines daily.
F. p. Jennings, president of the company,
reports the outlook for the business very
promising, as there is but little accumula-
ton of stocks on the market. Mullen &
Blackledge, manufacturers of catsups and
soups, are running to their full capacity and
use large quantities of tomatoes daily.
Kothe & Hobbell is the name of a new firm
organized to can fruits and vegetables, and
they have leased the large brick building on
the Big Four tracks near st. Clair street,
and will manufacture on an extensive
scale.
There are several other minor concerns
which are planning to do as much, if not
more than in any former year. One of the
packers states that the recent rains have
caused the tomatoes to commence rotting
on the ground, and unless the fall is dry
one and froSts come late he fears there will
be some disappointment in the crop.
The Dugdale Can Company is now turning
out $4,000 cans day, running full handed
and extra time. This company will this
year exceed all former records in number
of cans manufactured: The companys i'm
mense warehouse enabled it to run stead
lily and store the cans of the earlier make
of the year until an opportune time came
for their sale.

LIP. TWEEDIE'S SUDDEN DEATH
He Was Golf Instructor at the COun-
try Club.

Lawrence P. Tweedie, who since last May
has been golf instructor for the Country
Club, of this city, died last night at the
clubhouse after an illness of only a few
hours. Saturday night he complained of
feeling badly, but as he was able to move
around he was not regarded as in serious
condition. About 4 o'clock, however, he
grew violently i'll and died at $40 o'clock.
Mr.. Tweedie came to the Country Club
from the famous Wheaton Golf Club near
Chicago. where he had made his home since
coming to this country. five years ago. He
and his two brothers were considered to he
the finest professional players in the coun-
try, and his work here with the Country
Club gave general satisfaction. His only
surviving brother is now manager of the
golf department of a large store in Chicago,
besides being instructor of several clubs
around the city A message was sent to
him last night advising him of his brothers
death. Mr.. Tweedie was twenty-six years
old and was born near Edinburgh, Scotland.
Coroner Brayton, who was called to examine
the remains, gave his opinion that death
resulted from a protracted attack of ma
laria.

In the RniIdinr Trade.

Building contractors report business in
their lines slowing down. The several
schoolhouses are nearing completion, as are
most of the larger blocks begun early in the
season. The erection of the schoolhouses
furnished work for large number Of men.
For that reason bricklayers and stone
masons have had fairly busy year. The
most important building now to be erected
is on East Market street. to be known as
the Law building. The contract has been
awarded to John Pierson & Son, and Mr..
Pierson. ST., said on Saturday that he ex-
pected to begin work on the building the
first of next month.
Kingan & Co. are making quite extensive
additions to their original plant, through
remodeling and charging their buildings.
The new addition to the Lilly Varnish Com
pany's plant is completed and will be oc-
cupied this week, making 1t the largest var
nish factory in the Western States. The
indianapolis glue works are making ex-
tensive improvements in their plant, remod-
cling old buildings and demolishing others
and replacing them with new and substan-
tal structures. The buildings of the orig
inal company were largely wooden struc-
lures and are being replaced by more sub
stantial buildings. The Love Brothers,
propretors of the Indiana cotton mill,
have prepared plans for considerable adj
dition to their plant WI Itch will enable them
to increase the number of looms about
250, and will largely increase the number
of spindles. Their enlarged bleachery is
in operation, and the works are crowded
with business.
The Atlas engine works have under con-
sideration charging their plant, but what
will be done in that direction has not
been fully decided on.
The Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Rail-
road Company has the plans for its new
freight depot prepared and hopes to get it up
this fall to handle winter business. The
Pennsylvania Company is getting the ma
al OT frnicrh h
depot, but does not expect to do anything
this fall, but in the early spring if allowed
lay tracks across Delaware street will pu
up one of the largest and best-arranged
freight deDots in the country.

and he rushed out to save his horses. His
wife and children, anticipating his action,
caught him and would not allow him to risk
his life in attempts to save the beasts. An
alarm had by this time been sent in and
the fire department responded promptly, but
the loft was full of hay and the firemen
were unable TO gain control of the flames
They then turned their attention to sur

Before two of the riders who were at the

Ign, and p. J. Van Colt, of New York city,
could get away yesterday capiases were
served upon them, and their baggage was
attached by Constable Frank Glass, of JUS

tween them the men could raise but $40
in cash. according to their story to the JUS
tice, but Schofield had many valuable dia-
monds, and, asking the justice where he
could raise money on them, went away.
When he came back he had money, but his
diamonds were missing. With much grumb-
ling the trainers claim was paid, together
with some stiff court costs, the amount of
which was not made public, and the riders
left on a train several hours later than they
had intended to depart.
According TO the story Of the transaction,
as told to the justice by John Barber, the
latter was engaged by bicycle firm here
