UNREST At INDIANAPOLIS
Employers Threatened Impeachment
Proceedings In Case Of Further
Industrial Disturbances.

Indianapolis, Nov 29.-Rather than
face Impeachment proceedings Sam
uel Lewis Shank resigned as mayor
and was succeeded automatically by
Harry R. Wallace, city comptroller. A
committee of business men had pre-
pared proceedings to remove Shank
from Office in case Of any further labor
trouble in the city and when the may
or was told by labor leaders that a
strike of union teamsters was imm1
nent he sent his resignation to the
city clerk.
Il feel that did everything on my
part to be fair to both sides during
the recent street car strike" Mayor
Shank said in announcing his resigna-
ton, "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 feeling that has grown out
of the labor controversy"
Mayor Wallace said the police sit
uation is so critical that he will take
personal charge of the department for
q time.
New Mayor a Republican.
The new mayor has been prominent
In Republican politics for some time.
He served one term as county auditor
and is on his second term as county
chairman.
Shank is probably the most novel
figure that ever occupied the mayors
Office in Indianapolis. He achieved
wide notoriety by mis- handling Of the
saloon problem early in his admins
tration. Saloon keepers who violated
the law were taken before the mayor
and in many instances their licenses
were suspended for periods varying
from few hours to sixty days. One
saloon keepers license was suspend.
ed until he could show the mayor a
certificate. signed by minister, that
he had attended church.
Shank also gained nationwide fame
In 1911 by his fight on the high cost
y of living. He found that the city mar.
ket was failing in it's original purpose
to bring the producer and consumer
together and he imported sixteen
carloads of potatoes which he reta1led
at Is cents bushel. Potatoes then
were retailing at $1.40, but prices tum-
bled over night.

The most miserable Christmas pres

Is bought to make show, to exploit
ones own vanity.
When you are tempted to buy q
"show of" present, remember that the

by that kind Of gift. You know your
self that when you receive pres

on the part Of the giver 1t makes
you feel miserable, even when the
right spirit is behind it.
The cost in money is about the
poorest of measures for any kind OF
a gift. The thoughtfulness in it, the
recognition of a desire for things un-
asked for, the affection that goes with

DIARY FOR CHRISTMAS GIFT

Showing Absent Friend Was iH
Mind Of Donor.

On Thanksgiving day q man sat
down and began to write to a distant
friend. But he wrote only a few
lines, and laid 1t aside. The next day
he took up the pen, put down the new
date, diary-fashion, and wrote some
item of news Of interest to them
both.
So each day from Thanksgiving till
Christmas he added something to the
letter, as he would in a diary, end
Ing and mailing it just in time to
reach his friend on Christmas morn
ing. At the top he had written this
message:
This is all the gift you get from
me this year; but it carries more
thought of you and more love, imag-
Inc, than do some more costly ones
I am sending. But just put it In your
pocket for q dull January day. It win

Winona, Mimi, -ov. 25.-Because
he longed for excitement Frank Nor
ton, "a years old, told the local po-
lice that he had set fire to over 80
buildings since February last, accord
ing to U. S. Fire Marshal Charles E.
Keller.
How Arrest Was Made
Norton's arrest was effected under
sensational circumstances. He had
deliberately gone to barn within a
block and half Of the central fire
station, the police say, poured kero-
sene on the boards to make them in
fammable and was in the act of ap-
plying a match when the police and
fire marshal rushed in upon him.
The prisoners confession, the po-
lice say, was narrative unequaled
in any city for daring and lack of
real motive.
Indicates Another Man
Norton's arrest was brought about
through the assistance of State Fire
Marshal Keller's Office. For months
the fires occurred and came to fire.
quently that there could be no doubt
that a firebug was at work. At first
only dilapidated buildings, usually
barns and sheds, were attacked, but
the man who was applying the torch
became more daring following the
success of his previous attempts and
finally buildings in the business dis
trict were fired. The state fire mar
shal's Office sent deputies, but their
investigation revealed little.
A detective was detailed to Vino
ma to cooperate with the authorities.
Norton fell under suspicion and the
detective became his constant COM
panion.
Gets Story Gradually
Gradually Norton revealed his ca
reer of crime, the detective said.
Finally, the agent asserts, Norton
suggested that they touch off" a
banr and he readily consented. The
police and the local fire marshal were
tipped" off and were secreted behind
fences when Norton, leading the way,
entered the alley, accompanied by his
newly made friend. In his hand he
carried quart milk bottle filled with
kerosene. He entered the barn while
his supposed accomplice waited out

kindling and struck match, when
the bluecoats cloesd in On him.
A mystery that had bafiled the de-
