OFFICIALS ARE LIN TRIAL FUR
 FRAUD
(By United Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, March 22. - One hundred and sixty Indiana politicians, including few prominent city off cials and ex-offieials, were arraigned before Judge Anderson in the federal court here yesterday on charges of fraud in the presidential election last November.
 The men were indicted following one of the most sensational federal investigations of election fraud ever conducted by the government. The probe centered in Evansville and "big fish" were caught in the net in In- dianapolis, Gary and Frankfort. One of the interesting systems worked out in Evansville, according to the inves- tigators, was the fish hook method. The fish hook in the coat lapel was the badge of membership. If a voter wore this 1t was a sign that he was entitled by the gang" to vote where. when and as often as he pleased. The government is said to have evidence that thousands of dollars were used to buy votes at s1 to s2O each.
 Three police chiefs are involved: Samuel Perrott of Indianapolis, Edgar Schmitt of Evansville, and William F. Forbis of Gary. Other prominent h. dianians indicted are: Mayor R. o. Johnson of Gary, former postmaster Charles Sihler of Evansville, and for mer Mayor Edmonds of Frankfort.

STUDS A LUXURY IN EAST SAYS
 CORDOVAN

Our townsman, w. A. Hesse, is on a business trip to New York and from a personal letter to the editor of the Daily Times the following interesting excerpts are taken
 You don't know how badly I wish was back in Cordova, where one can get 'spuds. There is really a pota- to and onion famine on here. A the atre on Fourteenth street offers re- gular admission for spud, and box seats for all onion. My curiosity prompted me to look into the recep- tacle for tickets" and sure enough there was fine pile of potatoes. none large, I admit but genuine potatoes. Some lusty spendthrifts (always found in great city like this) had ac- tually deposited onions!
 q am informed that the price Of potatoes had gone to Il and 12 cents per pound, while onions went to IS cents. In several nice restaurants Nhp ioiioNAi6 appears Oii lhtii Diil OA fare:
 "'On account of the scarcity of po- tatoes in the market we are compelled to substitute the following dishes Boiled rice and baked spaghetti-cus- toners to have their choice
 You can get potatoes, but they look at you when you order them, and you pay for them.
 "A prominent Philadelphia man told me that all Philadelphia s public parks will be planted with spuds this sea son, and that unquestionably New York would have to adopt the same plan. One has to come from the west to appreciate the food situation.
 There is about seven inches of slush on the streets today. and more following. A friend of mine says its unusual, but I don't believe it. I want to get back to Alaska-I have a pair of gum boots there"
