THEY WON'T TAKE
THE BREAD BACK

In pursuance of a request from the
Commercial Economy board of the
Council of National Defense, master
bakers over the country have pledged
themselves to an agreement not to &C.
capt unsold bread from retailers after
July 10. This will greatly help the
outstanding of the wheat supply
Housewives are urged to cooperate
by ordering bread in advance in order
that the grocerymen will know just how
much to buy. Upon investigation by
the economy board it was found that
approximately four per cent of all
bread delivered by wholesale bakers is
later returned to them. and that at
least one-third of this is sold for ami.
NAL feed.

their registration. Farmers do not seem
to care whether they register or not
Undoubtedly the registration law is un-
popular among them, for many of the
farmers say they see no reason why
they should register, after they have
lived for many years in their present
locations They say everybody in the
neighborhood knows them and knows
that they are legal voters entitled to
vote. and that registration is useless.
Whether these farmers will continue
to refuse to register remains to be
SEEN but it is believed that thousands
of them will let the time pass without
registering. Then they will be barred
from voting for delegates TO the consti-
tutional convention.
No one will know whether the women
will have the right TO vote for dele
gates to the constitutional convention
until after the supreme court has decid-
ed the question. But the women are
registering in fairly good numbers in
the cities, anyway-that is. they are
registering more in proportion than the
men.
Most of the. men who are registering
now are of the type that have an axe of
some kind to grind in the constitutional
convention. Many of them favor this or
that wild scheme Of reform which they
hope to put in the new constitution and
unless the general body of Indiana
voters registered and vote at the special
election in September these 'reformers"
will elect tn delegates and control the
will he \ n n
frame up d constitution that the people
will reject at the ratification election.
Efforts are being made to induce the
people TO register. but the efforts are
not making much Roadway. August 20
is the last day on which voters may
register to vote for delegates. This
means that little more than one month
remains in which to qualify.

AT STATE CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. July s.-Tne
resignation Of Sam v Perrott as CHIEF
of police of indianapolis was not unex-
pected. 1t was filed with the board Of
safety Saturday evening Along with
the resignation of Perrott came also the
lice Sergeants Sanders, Hulse and
stringer, and City Sealer Herman F.
Adam All of these men were convicted
in the Federal court a few days ago OF
conspiracy to commit election frauds in
1914 by vote buying. voting of repeaters
and clubbing and beating negro voters
when they attempted to register All
are Democrats and what they did was
IN behalf of the notorious Bell Perrott
democratic machine in this city.
While 1t is not known definitely that
such is the case, it is generally under
stood here that the action of these men
in resigning means that they are ex-
pecting to be sentenced to prison BIZ
Judge Geiger. in Federal court, tomor-
row. That is the day when the attor-
neys from the defendants are to make
their arguments for a new trial. but
the evidence on which the men were
convicted was so strong and DEFINITE
that the people are wondering on what
grounds the new trial can be asked.
James F. Quigley. who has been IN
the police department for many years
was appointed chief of police to sue
coed Perrott. Al Donohue. who was sec
rotary to Chief Perrott. was elected to
the position of inspector of police.
which is the second in commando of the
department, next to the chief
Quigley was chief of police some
years ago under Mayor Tom Taggart.
and his elevation again to the place
makes it clear that the Taggart-Bell po-
htical machine does not propose to re-
linqufsh its firm hold on the police de-
partment, even though the former chief
and four other high officers are under
conviction for law violations. Taggart
was in town Saturday and Mayor Bell
held long conference with him before
announcing the names of the new ap-
pointees.
Donohue has long been a pet of the
Bell-Perrott political machine in this
city He was at first secretary to the
chief then he was made a lieutenant
Then he resigned to take the nomination
for sheriff on the Bell-Perrott county
ticket last fall. He was showed under
at the election. and was Immediately
taken back in the department and
again made secretary to Perrott. Now
he is boosted to the second highest Of
