term would have expired on January /.

part to be fair to both sides during the
recent streetcar strike" said Mayor
Shank in announcing his resignation,
but after the criticism that has been
heaped on me by the safety board Of
the Chamber of Commerce | feel that !
probably could not retain my position
and do my duty to the general public
as Mayor on account of the bitter feel
ing that has grown out Of the labor

property must be protected at what
ever cost and the fair name of our city
restored. Every person has right to
conduct his own business in his own

Mayor Wallace said the police situa-
ton was so critical that he would take
personal charge OF the department Tor

prominent in Republican politics for
some time. He served one term as
County Auditor and is on his second
term as county chairman.

breakers. caused the resignation OF

Police. and William +. Davis. president

Shank Picturesque Mayor.

Shank is probably the most plctu-
rescue figure that ever occupied the
Mayors Office in indianapolis. He at
tracted much attention by his handling
Of the saloon problem early in his ad-
ministration. SaloOnkcepers who Nlo-
lated the law were taken before the
Mayor, and in many instances their
licenses were supended for periods
varying from a few hours to sixty
DAYS. one saloonkeeper's license was
suspended until he could sho" the
Mayor a certificate, signed by a min
lister. that he had attended church.
Shank also gained nation wide fame
in 1911 by his fight on the high cost OF
living. He found that the city market
was failing in its original purpose to
bring the producer and consumer to-
gether. and imported sixteen carloads
Of potatoes. which he retailed at 80
cents a bushel. Potatoes were retail
ing at 81 40, but prices tumbled over
night and did not regain their high
mark during the season. lie also sold
fruits. vegetables and poultry in COM
petition with the city market.
He made a fight on insurance rates
in the city, which was successful in
causing a reduction of $2OO,GUO a year.
He took great delight in performing a
marriage ceremony, and always turned
whatever fee he received over to the
bride as a present.
The former Mayor served one term
as Recorder Of this county, and before
entering politics was an auctioneer and
storage house proprietor.

Ell Paso, Tex. Nov. 2S.-In thorough
accord with Venustiano Carranza, ana
dogyedly determined that the rule of
Provisional President Huerta in Mex
leo shall be brought TO an end through
rebel efforts and not by American m
tervention, General Pancho Villa, Con-
stitutionalist leader Of Chihuahua, for
mer bandit and the new popular hero
of Northern Mexicans, declared TO-
night that within two weeks his army
would be eating their meals in the city
Of Chihuahua.
The move on Chihuahua City was
started by villa tonight, when he seht
two troop trains south over the MeXi-
can Central Railroad. Ostensibly the
purpose Of the movement is to pursue
the federal army which Villa defeated
at La Mesa, TERRA Blanca. Zaragosa
and Flores Ranch. In reality, ana
practically admitted by Villa, it is the
beginning of the advance upon Chi
huahua and Mexico CITY.

was written on Monday night in Gin
cinnati. II was written on a blank
sheet Of paper and contained no ad
