REPUBLICANS WON
TO SUPPORT SHANK
Auctioneer Goes After May
orally in Way That Means
Business.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. s.-Repuk cans
today declare that Notwithstanding the
tight they made against Lew Shank. the
auctioneer. who was nominated for
mayor, they viii stand behind him in
the fall campaign in an effort to down
the Democratic cominee.
Shanks nomination once a certainty.
many OF the leaders who had fought
him hardest decided to make the best
of their opportunity and declare now
that Shank viii be elected.
Shank's entrance into the campaign
was considered as more or less Of a
joke, because in his character as an
auctioneer he did everything but take
life seriously, and when he announced
that he would be a candidate for the
Republican nomination, the pro- etariat
said, in unison: Amt that Lew shank
the turr'ble kidder2' and thought little
Of It. Shank. however, meant business.
and ne made a hOuse-to-house canvas
in an automobile, with the result that
he walked away with the nomination.
He declares that he can be elected
with little trouble. His one promise was
a good administration.
Shank for years has been a we'll
known character about town and his
headquarters have been about the city
hall ana courthouse.

NEW ARMY VENTURE
IS WIRELESS PHONE
Experiments by Signal Corps Expected to Be Crowned
With Success as Marked as That in Bal
loon and Airship Fields

Having solved, at Fort Myer, the prob
lens of aerial navigation, with the Bald
win balloon and the Wright aeroplane
the Signal Corps Of the army, which has
been the pioneer in many. scientific reve-
lations of the last few years. is about to
begin at Fort Myer a second series of
tests with the wireless telephone. which
are expected to demonstrate the prac-
ticability Of that instrument.
Brig. Gen. James Allen, chief of the
Signal Corps. and Major George o.
sQuier. his assistant. have been at the
works of the General Electric Com
pany, IN Schenectady, \. Y. for the
past week, watching the making of some
wireless telephone instruments. pattern
ed after the Fessenden system. These
new instruments, the Signal Corps Off
GERS expect to prove practical. In the
words of General Allens we expect
these instruments to be in their field,
what the Wright machine was in aero
nautics"
Before the tests with the Wright ma
chine began at Fort Nyer, the Signal
Corps experimental several weeks with
wireless telephone sets. Although the
experiments attracted no public notice,
remarkable results were obtained.
When it was found necessary to sUs-
pend work because Of the coming Of
the Wrights, General Allen determined
that when experimental work was re-
sumed it would be with an instrument
he thought to be superior to that then
in use.
Accompanied Dy Major Squier the
general has visIted not only the works
of the General Electric Company, but
Of several other big concerns in New
York and Pennsylvania. With the in
