TROUBLES.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind.-Rather than face
impeachment proceedings, Samuel
Lewis Shank resigned as mayor OF
Indianapolis and was automatically
succeeded by Harry r. Wallace, city
comptroller. A committee of business
men had prepared to institute pro-
ceedings to remove Shank from office
in case of any further labor troubles
in the city, and when the mayor was
told by labor leaders that strike
Of union steamsters was imminent,
he sent his resignation to the city
clerk.
Shank probably is the most novel
figure that ever occupied the mayors
office in indianapolis. His handling
of the saloon problem attracted much
attention. Saloon keepers who vloiat-
ed the law were taken before the
mayor. and in many instances their
licenses were suspended for periods
from a few hours to 60 days. One sa'
loon keepers license was suspended
until he could show the mayor a GER
tificate signed by a minister that he
had attended church.
Just before Thanksgiving, 1911, MT
