ELECTION FRAUD TESTIMONY
SURPRISES JUDGE ANDERSON

INDIANAPOLIS. March 16.-Abso-
lutte disregard of the orders Of Judge
Cox of the Superior court in Terre
Haute at the last registration, alleged
by the government and testified to by
county court clerk Joyce was scored
by Judge Anderson in federal court
in the election frauds trial today.
The climax of a session filled with
sensational testimony came when At
torney Stanley for the defense object
ed to the introduction of copies of in
junction suits brought by Progressive
and Republican county chairman in
which Roberts and others were named
and in which the plaintiff sought and
secured an Injunction to prevent alleg-
ed frauds at the polls.
I'VE expect to show that Sheriff
Shea would not serve the Injunction
orders of Judge Cox and that Dom
Roberts told his henchmen to pay no
more attention to the orders of the
court, and to serve on registration,

Councilman Wilkins De.
mands Big Improvement
Program for Eighth Ward,
Neglected for 3 Years.

The Eighth ward, also known as
Fairview, is tired of being the Gin.
derella of the wards of the city, and
its representative in council, Mr.. VIII.
kins, presented an ultimatum at couli-
Gil meeting last night, which concisely
and emphatically outlines just what
Fairview expects of the city this year.
There has not been an improve
ment provided for the Eighth ward In
three years, and we want some action
now,"' declared, Mr.. wilkins. Here is
what Fairview demands:
First-General re-arrangement OF
street lights. '.. >s"~
Second-Better cutters. At present
the cutters at nearly every intersec'
tion are lower than the crosswalks,
and after each rain frog ponds" form
all over the ward. Repairing of cross
walk at Grant and Ridge, Grand and
Boyer, and Boyer and state also de-
manded.
Third The gas and water com
panies be compelled to fill up the
trenches dug in States, Charles, Viii.
liam, John, Boyer and Eidge streets,
and Linden avenue. - ..,f :
Fourth-The street car company be
compelled to fill up between its tracks
and eighteen inches each side Of them
Fifth-Some satisfactory arrange
ment for the paving Of Sheridan street
This can not be done in the ordinary
manner as the cost of the improve
ment would be in excess Of so pei
cent of. the assessed property values
Sixth = Macadam roadway fol
Charles street
Seventh-Repairing of Hunt street
from Charles street to Linden avenue
Eighth-Regraveling Of John street

Judge Anderson rebuked Attorney
Stanley for attempting to put politics

Stanley started to argue the matter
but Judge Anderson cut him short.

But Protests Vigorously on

No effort was made at council meet
ing last evening to reconsider a
motion adopted two weeks ago, to
have the ordinance providing for the
paving of North A street take its regu-
lar course, and attempt to pass it un-
DIRE suspension of the rules. One
negative vote under suspension OF the
rules, after third reading, would nave
defeated the measure.
1t is understood that one council
man, Mr.. White, is opposed to the
ordinance SO 1t was decided not to
endanger it by attempting its passage
under suspension of the rules. Final
action on the measure will be taken
at tie first council meeting IN April.
It received its second reading last
night. r.. ~
r-N Talk Of Parkways.
After council meeting there was talk
Of establishing a parkway system on
North A street as a relief for the prop
erty owners. North A street Is one
Of the widest in the city and with
series of small parkways In the cen
ter Ct the ctreet the total area or paw
inc would be, reduced considerably
and. cohncil believes, the appearance
of the thoroughfare greatly improved
It is probable that an effort 10
amend the ordinance to provide sucn
parkways will be made at the next
council meeting.
An ordinance for the paving OF Skin
street from South Alto Fort wayne
avenue, and an ordinance for the paw
ing Of South Fifth street from Main to
South A, were presented and allowed
to take their regular course after first
reading.
Foley Makes Protest. ..
Council room was nearly filled last
evening with North A street. sixth
street and South Fifth street property
owners. John Foley was spokesman
for the North A street people ard ny
he'd the ciesl. read remonstrances
filed with the board sorxe time ago
against the paving Of that street :,
He insisted that North A street was
only residential street and that q
good macadam surface was all that
It required. He also remarked tnat II
he was a Fifth or Sixth street prop
erty owner he would not be present IN
the role of a remonstrator because
those streets were business thorough
fares and should be paved.

Marion Lawrence, secretary of. the
International Sunday School associa-
ton and head of the tour party. sees
a rapid growth, in the Sunday schools
of the nation as manifested by in.
creased attendance at conventions,, in
creased number of religious books
sold, greater number of men and wom-
ell devoting their entire. time to the
work. improvements in architecture.
and by the number that are joining
the churches.
Bert eastman, who will present the
conquest of the world by the Sunday
schools in picture slides. says few
workers have any idea of the magnf-
tude of the movement of which they
are a part. Since the organization
of the first Sunday school at Glouces-
ter, England, by Robert Raikes, 1874
years ago, the number of schools have
increased until there are 10000, with
total enrolment Of 30,0O0,000 per-
sons.
Earnest work in any Iart Of this
great force is panacea for the blues.
says Mr.. eastman, who asserts that
he gets more genuine pleasure out -of
his class of boys than could be stored
away in a train of reight cars. -.
