FREE CAILLAUX
ON CHARGE OF
HIGH TREASON
Former Premier Acquitted by
French Senate, Sitting as
Court, 213 to 2S.

PARIS. April 22.-Former Premier
Joseph Caillaux was today acquitted
Of high treason against France and
OF communicating intelligence to the
enemy in wartime.
The vote Of the senator's comprising
the high court Of justice was:
1r acquittal, 213; against acquittal,
Twenty-eight
Following the verdict of acquittal on
the first two charges the court began
celebrating the charge that the former
premier had correspondence with the
enemy.
CaiIlaux was placed on trial Feb. II.
From the beginning 1t was apparent
that the government had a weak case.
The contention was made by the sc-
cused statesman and his counsel that he
was the victim OF a political plot.

GOODRICH SITS
IN HIS TENT;
BACKS NO ONE
Aloof in Indiana Presidential
Primary Fight and Candi-
dates Are Puzzled.

Where does Gov. Goodrich stand in
he presidential primary fight in lndi
ena?
Curiosity regarding his stand is being
expressed by friends of various can
didates seeking the nomination for the
presidency.
The governdr, usually so active in
every political fight, has thus far not
openly shown lis hand.
There is question as to whether he
is doing this Intentionally or whether
his influence is so undesirable that no
candidate wishes TO have him openly
aligned with his campaign.
HE SAID HE'D
STAY OFT.
Under the circumstances 1t appesrs
entirely possible that the governor spoke
more truth than he knew when he stated
early in the campaign tha- he would
stay out Of It entirely and sit by watch
ing the other fellow hght 1t out
There is every indication that he Is
doing this very thing. although perhaps
not entirely voluntarily.
Under ordinary circumstances candi-
dates in the primaries are glad 10 have
the support OF the administration in
power.
The support of the administration
means the support Of that administra-
tion's following. and II tae administra-
sion has been successful in any particu-
lsr this following amounts TO a great
deal In the primary.
But an administration without fol-
lowing and at the same time burdeneh
with the opposition Of nearly all its own
party is something else again.
Early in the campaign 1t was rumored
that Gov. Goodrich was friendly to Gov.
Frank O. Lowden of Illinois.
Conferences between Lowden managers
and the governor, when the managers
first took up their work in Indiana, added
strength to this rumor.
But there has been no move on the part
of the governor to assist the Lowden
organization.
The Lowden managers in Indiana ap-
parently quickly sized up the situation
and informed the governor that they
would appreciate it If he would keep his
hands OF, or words TO that effect.
GooDRICHIsM NOT
AFFECTING WOOD BOOM.
The rapidly dying Wood boom is ap-
parently succumbing from something be
sides Goodrichism.
Friends of Gen. Wood aided in forcing
Gov. Goodrich out OF the presidential
race and they have never sought his as
sistance.
There has been no evidence that he is
for Senator Harding.
OF course, Senator Johnson may De
open to receive the support of the gov
ernor.
lie appears to have every manner and
description of support from Indiana re-
publlcans a part of which is somewhat
undesirable.
But. at the same time, despite his as
ISOLATION with 'the great little har-
monizer," Gov. Goodrich has never been
known as a progressive and it is almost
too much to believe that he will become
one at this late date.
In fact. it begins to appear as II the
great war governor" actually Is neutral
so far as the presidential race is con-
cerned

CENSUS TOPUT
POPULATION OF
CITY AT 314,OOO
Supervisor Speigel Hints at In
crease to Be Made Pub
lie Soon.
CENTURY OF GROWTH

The United States census of In
dianapolis will show approximately
$4,000, according to figures which
The Times has obtained, and which
are believed to be within a few hun
dred of the exact total for the city.
John E. speigel, census supervisor for
, this district, says that the estimate of
10000 by 8. o. DUNCAN, which was
made public recently, is warm" but q
little short.
Mr.. Speigel says he expects the totals
to be announced in Washington very
shortly.
The increase of population In In
dianapolis has been marked for the past
several decades. with a steady. healthy
growth. made up largely of Indiana peo-
pie who have taken advantage Of the
many opportunities in the city and es-
tablished homes here.
Even during the years Of adverse
conditions. which have been few in
indianapolis, the increase In popula-
tion has kept steady pace until At pres
ent the city Is probably the largest IN
land commercial center in the United
States.
The average growth in population for
ten-year periods has varied from forty
to eighty thousand and the development
Of natural and commercial resources
has kept pace with the population.
HALF MILLION IN
NEXT TEN YEARS.
II is predicted that by the end OF the
next ten years the population IL reach
a half million.
At present Broad Ripple, Beech Grove,
Speedway city, Mars Hill, haywood, Ben
Davis, Millersville and other suburbs,
having a population of approximately 25.-
900. are being closely crowded By the
ever growing city proper, and II appar-
emily IA only a question Of time when
they will be annexed as a part Of Tndi-
anap0is
Broad Ripple now has a population OF
approximately 5000.
Ten years ago It's population numbered
800, showing a twofold increase.
Beech Grove grew from 500 TO i.s00 IN
ten years.
Both Of these suburbs should now be
a part Of Indianapolis and VIII no doubt
be among the frst annexed as q part o.
The city.
In territory the city has grown ten
square miles during the last ten years.
II now occupies an area Of forty two
Ia 1910 the area WAS 3oT7 square miles.
It Is said. however. that the industrial
growth Of the city has been far greater
in proportion TO that of the population
/ or the area.
At the present time It is ratsa as one
OF the largest automobile centers In the
world and it is estimated that $3.50 oo0-
coo worth OF automobiles and accessories
will be manufactured In the city this
year.
BECOMES GREAT
LIVE STOCK CENTER.
Indianapolis ranks as one Of the great
live stock centers Of the country, and EN-
picyment is given to a.9S3 persons in the

Why, Mr.. Adams?

One week has elapsed since
five members of the grand Jury,
Prosecutor Claris Adams and
Deputy Jones petitioned the
criminal court to cite The Times
for what they asserted was a
contempt of the criminal court
in the utterance of an article
alleged to be false, libelous.
defamatory and contemptuous."
One week has elapsed since
Judge James A. Collins instruct
ed Mr.. Adams to ''file in this
court proper specifications of the
charges made"
Mr.. Adams has neither filed
the citation ordered nor other
wise acted to discharge the rule
of criminal court.
WHY?
The Times believes in the ne
cessity of upholding the dignity
of the courts Of this community.
1t called the attention of the
bar association and the public to
the practices that Mr.. Adams
was tolerating in the grand jury
room because it believed such
practices to be IN direct con-
travention of the spirit Of the
law and contrary to the public
welfare.
Mr.. Adams said in his petition
to the criminal court that the
statements made in The Times
were false, libeIous, defamatory
and contemptuous."
Nothing has transpired to give
these statements a different
meaning today than they had a
week ago.
Mr.. Adams has been called
upon to prove that these state
ments were as he described
them.
He has had plenty of time in
the week that has elapsed since
he was ordered to prepare this
citation to attend a political
meeting and conference with
Mayor Jewett at the Columbia
club and elsewhere.
Isn't Il time Mr.. Adams came
into criminal court and either
made good his assertions or ad-
mitted MS inability to make
good?
II there has been a contempt
Of the criminal court It is UP TO
Mr.. Adams to bring the party
who uttered the contempt before
Judge Collins and prove It to be
a fact.
Mr.. Adams has taken an oath
to do his duty as prosecutor of
Marion county.
It is his duty to uphold the
dignity of the criminal court.
II there has been a contempt
OF the criminal court why isn't
there a citation Of record?
