GIRLS SCHOOL
WITHOUT COAL
Inmates at ClermOunt Must
Eat Canned Food.

Because of lack Of coal, the State
School for Girls at Clermont is without
light, heat or steam for cooking and its
inmates will have to eat canned goods,
according to Maurice Shelton, chairman
of the state purchasing board.
I'VE were advised yesterday by officials
of the Big Four railroad that they had
given orders to have the coal delivered
last night" Shelton said. but as I un-
derstand it, the train crew refused to de
liver the coal.
1--WE were forced to bank the fires and
we have no coal to carry on the necessary
work at the school"
Shelton was unable to explain why the
train crew refused TO deliver the coal, but
it is understood an investigation is being
made.
Officials of the Big Four railroad In
indianapolis say they have no knowledge
whatever of the situation at Clermont'
and would make no statement in answer
to the claim Of Mr.. Shelton that they
were responsible for the lack OF coal at
the institution.
similar situation confronts the Sol
diers and Sailors Orphans Home at
Knightstown, Shelton said.
This institution has faced a shortage
for several days, but relief is expected
there within the next twenty hours.
John McCardle, vice chairman of the
public service commission, declared the
commission is doing everything In Its
power to obtain relief from the coal
famine which is pInching all the state
institutions
I'VE are doing everything that is pos
sible to relieve this uncalled for situa-
tion." McCardle said.
1--WE have the promise OF the Big
-Four officials that they will cooperate
in remedying 1t.
This railroad is handling the coal for
US"
Recent reports to the public service
commission have indicated that the coal
shortage is not confined alone TO the
state correctional and benefcent homes,
but is also affecting public utilities.
The utilities in virtually every city
and town face the possibility Of sus-
pension unless relief from the fuel
famine is afforded, these reports showed.
Appeals for relief have been showered
upon the public service commission ana
in many cases the shortage has been al
leviated.
Temporary relief, however, was the
best that could he obtained and the in
stitutions have been unable to lay in
the usual supply to tide them through
the winter.
This same is true of the public util
tiles.
Members Of the commission today were
endeavoring to draw up a feasible plan
for relief.

PROTECTION
AGAINST MENACE.
I'VE resisted z world wide menace
and we intend now to establish per-
manent protection against another
menace.
I'VE know how easily wars came in
the past.
we want to make their coming diff

I'VE have a definite plan; the
American people understand it, and
after the 4th Of March. 1921, it is our
purpose to put it into practical oper-
alton without continuing months of
useless discussion.
The circumstances of the last
eighteen months" the governor as

trickery. and now leadership in a

excellent site in Kentucky avenue on

built, eventually, but that it has no
money with which to buy material.

vented readjustment of national con-
ditions," the governor charged, pro
posed certain reservations to the
league of nations, which were after
wards abandoned, and followed with
nothing more definite than a hope
that an entirely new arrangement
might be made in world affairs.
What method they have in mind,
If it is concretely in any ones mind,'
the governor continued, "the people
do not know" and added that no un-
prejudiced person could deny that to
attempt to form new project means
prolonged delay"
IF the voters of the republic, with
out regard to party, desire action and
prompt action along lines that are
now clearly understood, they will rem
der a verdict so overwhelmingly ex-
pressive Of public indignation that
scheming politicians for years to
come Will not forget"
INTERESTS ATTEMPT
TO BUY C0NTROL.'
Turning to domestic questions the
governor. asserted that a powerful
combination of interests is now at
tempting to buy government control
dollars for a campaign fund"
He charged that these funds are
being used to arouse racial discon
tent. to breed unrest and befog the
public mind. and asserted that the
interests which contribute seek to
continue prohteering, re-establish
rule by the few and settle indus
trial disputes according to their
own notion"
THE democratic party" he said,
proposes to reduce public expense
at least $1,000, 10000 a year, and to
prevent the multiplication OF these
$1,000, 100000 into many times that
amount in the form of high living
costs and illegal profits

tive Of West Virginia, and to Arthur

TAXPAYERS ASK
HEAVY DAMAGES
FOR r. r. WORK
Seek 100000 Because Roads
Raised Tracks and Built
Distractions.
NAME MANY GRIEVANCES

A suit asking Superior Judge Vincent
Clifford to issue a restraining order 20
protect the interests of the taxpayers Of
Indianapolis against encroachment by
railroads in track elevation construction
was fled today by Charles L. Hartman,
as a taxpayer, and for all other tax
payers of the city, against the city of
Indianapolis, the indianapolis Union
Railway Company and the Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago & st. Louis Railway
Company.
The suit asks for the following relief:
J. Two hundred thousand dollars dam
e9es for the alleged obstruction caused
by the two railway companies in elevat-
ing their tracks and putting IN certain
piers and retaining walls at the intersec-
tion of Alabama street and Virginia ave-
nue..
>. That the defendants be restrained
from continuing the erection of the piers,
retaining walls and other alleged OBJ
structions to the highways at this point.
3. That the defendants be compelled
TO abate the nuisance.
4. That the city of indianapolis
be restrained from making payments on
% per cent of the overhead construction
at the intersection of the two streets.
,. That the agreement existing be-
tween the city an dthe two railway com
panies calling for this work be declared
Invalid
The suit explains that in 1890 the city
council and the board of aldermen adopt
ed an ordinance which permitted the
building of a railroad viaduct at Ala
bama and Virginia avenue with the agree
ment that when the viaduct ceased to be
used as such it should be taken down.
The suit alleges that the viaduct was
built but was torn down in 1919 to make
way for the proposed track elevation at
the intersection of Alabama street and
Virginia avenue.
ALABAMA NEVER
REALLY VACATED.
1t is alleged that Alabama street never
mas been legally vacated and that the
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St
Louis Railway Company proposes to use
as a storage track for yard purposes
such portion of Alabama street lying
south of the portion to be used by the
indianapolis Union Railway Company.
in its tracks, operating over the inter
section of Alabama and Virginia avenue"
It Is stated in the suit that the Indi-
annapolis Union Railway Company has
erected cocnrete retaining walls within
the limits of the roadway of Alabama
street south of the intersection with Vir-
ginia avenue.
1t is also stated in the complaint that
the other defendant railway company has
placed large piles of dirt in such a man
ner as to indicate further construction
work.
The plaintiff alleges that such OBJ
structions are illegal and constitute a
nuisance.
The city Of indianapolis, through the
proper OFFICIALS. was called upon to abate
the nuisance, but the complaint alleges
that the city not only refused to take
any action, but showed determination
TO bring proceedings to abandon and
vaeate such portions of the highway to
the railway companies for the exclusive
use of the railroads.
To protect the rights of the taxpayers
the suit was fled, the complaint con-
tends.
The taxpayers are damaged to the ex
tent Of 100000, the complaint states.
