urday's game: Anyway it made
Thornton feel good and that may be
some consolation to the friends of the
best center fielder of the league"

Anderson and Larson for the van

Decatur Herald The patrons of
baseball in the Three-Eye are getting
better entertainment than is offered
in almost any other minor league in
the country. You cant make many
of them believe it though.
The present Three-Eye league sched-
ule is one of the worst ever prepared.
For instance, Rock Island is now on
it's second tour east within three
weeks, and in the meantime has made
no tour around the west end while DT-
buQue is making it's second visit to
Davenport since the team left home.
The dope fiend with headquarters at
Bloomington, had another parcel of
Saturday evening, the target of the
screed this time being Davenport.
Such contributions, as has been said
heretofore, which as a matter of fact
are absolutely without foundation, are
inimical to the interests of baseball
and the other baseball associations of
the league ought to join with Daven-
port in protesting to President Hol-
land that he use his influence to pre-
vent the stuff emanating from his
town. getting into the papers, if it is
desired that the league continue to be
maintained. If it is the purpose to kill
the attendance let such rubbish con-
tinue to find it's way into print.

AUSTRALIAN FIRE CHIEF
PRAISES CITYS SYSTEM
SAYS Series OF Fire Alarms and
Methods of Registry Far SUI
perior to Other Cities Visited.
TOUR OF INSPECTION

Alfred Webb, chief officer Of fire brigades.
New South Wales, Australia, with head
quarters at Sydney. visited indianapolis yes
terday. including this city in the itinerary of
a trip around the world for the purpose of
inspecting the fre-hghting systems Of the
largest cities.
After his inspection of the Indianapolis
department Mr.. Webb stated at the Clay
pool last night that he considered the In
dianapolis system of fire alarms and regis
try more complete than that of any other
city he has visited on his trip, either in this
or any other country.
Mr.. Webb stated that the government of
New South Wales had sent him on an eight
months tour of the world to study the lat
est appliances and the most modern meth
DDS of fighting fires IN the principal cities.
His tour has taken him TO cities in Great
Britain, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Aus
tria, Belgium, France. Canada and the
United States. He landed in New York on
Dec. 10, and has visited since that time New
York, Boston, Montreal, Ottawa Toronto,
Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cleveland
and Chicago. Indianapolis. with the excep-
| ton of Ottawa, is the smallest city ne has
yet visited.
I'VE are peculiarly situated in the Aus
trallan cities, said Mr.. Webb. "One-third
OF the funds for the support of the fire de-
partments is contributed by the government,
another third by the insurance companies,
and the remaining third by the municipali-
ties. Each OF these three interests elects
two representatives TO form a board Of fire
commissioners. which appoints every mem
Der of the fire brigade but the chief officer.
which is my office I'm New South Wales.
am appointed and controlled directly by the
government. L exercise a superintendent
over the other cities of the colony, but
spend most Of my time in Sydney.
Il attribute the superiority of the Indian
apohs department., continued Mr.. Webb,
to the fact that in New York and other
cities their systems have grown up gradu-
ally, and have been added TO from time to
time, while here you have a purely Came
well system, one system from start to fin
ish, and one that appeals 10 me as the most
complete have seen anywhere"

FOR TWO HOURS
AS THE CROWDS PASSED BY
Two Women Employees of Norbert
Landgraf Prepare to Spend the
Night on Bolts of Cloth.
SOME ONE FORGOT THEM

Two fair young women standing in Nor
bert Landgraf's tailoring establishment, at
123 North Pennsylvania street, with faces
pressed tightly against the window pane.
last night drew a large crowd of interested
spectators, that earnestly sought to ascer-
tain the cause of their imprisonment. The
prisoners were kept for over two hours be-
fore they were given their freedom Too
bashful TO call for assistance from the
large group Of ment that were standing in
front of the establishment, they were about
to settle down for the night when one Of
them espied a little street urchin.
Reckoning to him to come close to the
window, one of the women shouted, Go TO
the Denison Hotel and tell the telephone
operator TO call up Mr.. Landgraf and tell
him to come and let us out"
Like winged Mercury the little street
urchin FASTENED TO the hotel, and Mr..
Landgraf was the scene The
young women, soon as they were re-
leased. fastened through the surging mass
of humanity at the front door for home.
The women are employed by Norbert
Landgraf in the tailoring department. on
TO a rush of business they have been re-
quired TO work at night. Each evening
when the women through work, Fred
Landgraf, son OF the tailor, would come
down and unlock the door Last night they
were forgotten.

TO DISCUSS QUESTION
OF TRACK ELEVATION
Representatives of Railroads Will
Meet with Mayor Hoffman
to Revise Plans.
WILL REPAIR VIADUCT

A discussion of the track elevation ques-
ton that promises to bring definite results
will be held in the office of Mayor Holtz-
man at o'clock next Friday afternoon. AT
that time the mayor and the Board OF Pub
lie Works will meet with representatives OF
the different roads entering indianapolis,
and an effort Will be made to arrive at
some definite understanding as to the most
practicable method of eliminating grade
crossings within the city limits. Repre-
sentatives OF all roads have been notified
that they are expected to attend the meet
ing.
Chief Engineer Johnson, of the Fennsyl-
vania Railroad has been working on plans
and was to have had these plans ready
for submission to the Board Of Public
Works some time in December. This has
not yet been done, but the mayor and
President Downing, Of the works board,
Mansfield, superintendent of the Pennsylva-
MIA system, that MIR. Johnson, who was de-
layed in his work, will have it completed
soon.
Mr.. Mansfield was in the City Hall yes
terday morning, and talked with City En-
gtneer Jeup of the condition of the Virginia
avenue viaduct which is stated to be in
considerably weakened condition, requiring
immediate attention. Steam, smoke and
loosened the support of the viaduct, and II
is probable that plans for mendtng 1t VIII
be considered at the same conference that
will discuss the grade crossing question.

ORATORICAL CONTEST
BOARD WILL MEET
Several Important Matters to Be
Considered in This City
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow the board of the Indiana Ora
torical Association will meet at the Denison
Hotel to definitely decide upon the manu-
script judges for the contest that is to be
held in Tomlinson Hall on Feb. 5. Judges on
delivery will also be chosen at this meeting,
and the manuscripts of the orators will be
handed to the president for distribution to
the judges.
All of the delegates are expected at the
meeting. because the action is takes on
these matters is of vital concern to each one
of the members of the association. Earl
ham College will be represented by Clyde
Kennedy, a senior. The matter of granting
a silver cup to the winner of the contest,
which was launched by De Pauw's dele
gate a few weeks ago. will very likely be
discussed at this meeting and then referred
to the convention. which is TO be held on the
day of the contest.
Another question that is of vital import
is the one changing the present system of
a dual set of judges one for manuscripts
and the other for delivery, to one set for
both manuscript and delivery. If the change
is made it will call for a decided change In
the constitution of the association. The
Wabash delegate, Mr.. Van Mugs, who is
president of the association, presented this
matter at the last board meeting, and 1t will
very likely be sent to the convention for
final settlement.

DECLARES FOUND MEYER
READING A NEWSPAPER
Burroughs, Agent, Testifes that
Plaintiffs Eyesight Was Not
Seriously Impaired.
SPECIALIST ON STAND

John S. Duncan. attorney for the Big
Four Railway Company, introduced more
evidence yesterday I'm the 100000 damage
suit brought against the company by
Leopold Meyer to prove that Meyer was
shamming the blindness which he alleges
was the result OF his injuries.
DR.. w. Tangerman. of Cincinnati, oculist
for the railway company, testified that ne
examined Meyers eyes and found nothing
to indicate that Meyer was blind. e. c.
Burroughs, agent for the Travellers Pro-
tective Association, in which Meyer held
policy. testified that he went to Greenwood
to see Meyer and found him reading a
paper. When he approached, the witness
said, Mrs Meyer jerked the paper from her
husbands hands and Meyer said he had
been shielding his eyes.
Mrs. Frank T. Ellison, who was called to
the stand admitted, on cross-examination,
that she and her husband had been sent by
the railway company to Greenwood to as
certain whether Meyer was shamming his
blindness. She told of a number of in
stances to show that Meyer was not blind.
Other witnesses testified that they had seen
Meyer do things which proved that he was
not blind. The evidence was concluded
yesterday afternoon and the case was con-
tinued until Monday morning, when the
argument will be heard. Each side will be
allowed three hours for argument

WILL SELL COTTAGE FOR
SOLDIERS And REBUILD
Commissioner McGregor Finds
Marion County Home at Lafay-
cite Entirely Inadequate.

John McGresor, county commissioner, re-
turned yesterday from Lafayette, where
he consulted with the managers of the State
Soldiers Home concerning the enlargement
OF the Marion county cottage of the home
The cottage was built about five years ago
at an expense OF 1920. but since its erec-
ton there has been such a large demand
for admission into the home from the vet
Grams of the county that the cottage has
become crowded and IS now wholly made
quate for the accommodation of all the
men who should be received into il. 1t is
impossible TO enlarge the cottage, as IL is
hemmed In on all sides by other buildings
and MIR. McGregor suggested to the man
ayers OF the home that If some other county
or the State now unprOvided with cottage
would buy the Marion county cottage the
money derived therefrom. together with a
possible appropriation from the City Coun-
ell of this city. would be used in construct
ing new cottage sufficient to accommodate
all the Marion county veterans for many
years. The Board of County Commissioners
is willing to accept $4,000 for the cottage.
