QUITS TO AVOID
LABOR TROUBLES
indianapolis Mayor Resigns Rather
Than Face Impeachment.
TRANSFERS STRIKE IMMINENT
Unrest Of Unions Under Shanks
Administration Causes Busi-
ness Men 20 Turn Agairss
Him.

indianapolis, Nov. 29.-Rathei
than face impeachment proceedings
Samuel Lewis Shank resigned AZ
mayor of indianapolis and was autn'
maticaIIy succeeded by Harry Il.
wallace, city comptroller. A COM
mittee Of business men had pre-
pared proceedings to remove Shank
from office In case of any further
labor trouble in the city, aud. when
the mayor was told by labor leSd-
ers that a strike of union teamstcrs
was imminent he sent his resigna-
ton to the city clerk. He had done
all he could, he said, and 1t was for
the city's best interests for him to
resign.
Shank is probably the most novel
figure that ever occupied the may
or's office in Indianapolis. He
achieved notoriety by his handling
of the saloon problem. Saloon keep
ers who violated the law were taken
before the mayor, and in many in
stances their licenses were suspend
ed for periods varying from few
hours to sixty days. One saloon
keepers license was suspended ur-
til he could show the mayor GER
tificate signed by a minister, that
he had attended church.
Shank also gained nationwide
fame in 1911 by his fight on the
high cost of living. He found that
the city market was failing in its
purpose to bring the pro- L
ducer and consumer together and
imported sixteen carloads of pota-
toes which he retailed at seventy {
five cents bushel. Potatoes then
were retailing at $40 but prices
tumbled over night and did not re-
gain their high mark during the
season.

Secretary Of Ireland Board OF Ag-

Hold American Crop for
High Prices.

] Washington, Nov. ga new
phase of the cost of living problem
was brought to the attention Of the
department OF agriculture. T. p
Gill, secretary of the Irish board OF
agriculture, told Secretary Houston
that spectators in the large cities
of the United States were actively
buying up this years short Ameri-
can potato crop and planning to
hold out for high prices, counting
upon the existing quarantine against
potatoes from many foreign coun-
tries to aid them In their under
taking.
Mr.. Gill is here to urge the re-
moval of the embargo on potatoes
from his country and has been get
ting private advices from various,
sources on the potato situation in |
America. He insists the powderyl
scales found on potatoes imported
from ireland are no cause for a
quarantine because Q similar blsm-
Ish already is common in the United
States and declares continuance of
he embargo will contribute to the
growing cost of living.
