the Big Four engine, was knocked from
the running board into the river and
killed. Reynolds fell about sixty feet
into water that was about eight feet
deep
His body was sent TO the city morgue.
William Dalton Of M8ttoon engineer of
the Big Four engine, stopped his locomo-
tive on the bridge while en- route to the
Union station, where the engine was TO
pull q train into St Louis. Reynolds
climbed out on the running board at the
side Of the engine to turn off steam
valve
While reaching for the valve c., I. &
w. engine, in charge of William Russell
engineer, and c. NJ Bell, fireman, also
en- route to the Union Depot on the same
track, bumped the rear Of the tender Of
the Big Four engine. The sudden bump
caused Reynolds TO lose his balance and
he fell packard from the side of the en-
gine to the water far below. 1t IS be-
lieved his head struck the side of the
bridge and that he was stunned, for

himself
The police emergency squad, Lieuten-
ant Winkler, Sergt. J. Richter, Motor
police Dalton, Mullen and Mcclure
dragged the river and recovered the
body. Reynolds watch stopped at 7:12
a. IN. and the accident is believed to
have occurred at that time.
When William Russell, 2SfS North New
Jersey street, engineer, and c. S. Bell,
500 South State avenue, fireman on the c.,
l. a w. engine return to indianapolis
they will be arrested on the charge of
manslaughter, according to the coroner.
their bonds, however, have been fixed
at 81 coo each The arrests will be made
as a matter OF routine followed by the
coroner in fatal accidents where he is
investigating to determine who is at
fault.
The coroner also notified the railroad
companies that in all future accidents
where a man is killed that at least one
man must be left at the sceen of the
accident until the coroner or police Of
hcials arrive. When the police emergency
squad reached the scene the engines were
gone, the train crews were gone and no

1t was with some difficulty that the po-
lice learned the details.
The coroner announced that Reynolds
death was due to drowning.

Dennis Bush Freed by 'Mistake;;'
Clerk in Office of Gov. McCray
Made Error in Copying Order
OPEN DRIVE FOR
FAIR ELECTION
Shank and Robson Seek Equal
Representation on
Boards. @

joint petition signed by ward chair
men of the Shank and Robson organiza-
tions which requests that the four he-
publican candidates for mayor be gi1en
equal representation on the election
boards was to be presented to Repub-
tcan City Chairman Irving w. LemauX
late today or early tomorrow. Mr..
Lemaux has the exclusive power to ap-
point the Republican election officials.
The Shank and Robson forces have
been trying for weeks to devise some
means of keeping Mr.. Lemaux from
filling the boards with Howe workers.
If Shank. Robson, Howe and Meye.'s
we've given equal representation there
could be no charge of fraud, Shank aud
Robson leaders say.
The plan which the ward chairmen
propose IN their petition is that Mr.
Lemaux appoint his board members in
rotation from lists furnished by the four
candidates.
AS a rule the city chairman depends
upon the recommendation Of precinct
committeeman In naming his election
board appointees. but since the present
campaign opened the Howe organiza-
ton has threatened committeeman who
did not jump into line that they would
be deprived Of the privilege of making
recommendations. This has convinced
the Shank and Robson leaders that they
must seek other means Of obtaining fair
representation.
In case Mr. Lemaux declines to act
upon the suggestion Of the Shank and
Robson ward chairmen it is understood
the two candidates are prepared to or
eanze two groups of twenty five promi-
nent business men representing each can
didate and appeal for n fair primary upon
the ground that the good name of Indi-
annapolis should be protected.

HOLDS SCIENCE
COMMON WITH
OTHER CREEDS
Lecturer From Mother Church
Addresses Audience at
Murat.
BASIC PRINCIPLE SAME

Ezra w. Palmer, C. S. B., member Of
the board of lectureship Of The Mother
Church, the First Church of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston, Mass, spoke to a
large audience last night at o'clock,
in the Murat Theater, under the auspices
of the Second Church of Christ, Scientist,
of Indianapolis. The lecturer was in
troduced by Mrs. Roxie Long.
Mr. Palmer spoke substantially as
follows:
In addressing an audience made up,
in part of persons who know little of the
teachings Of Christian Science, it Is we'll
to consider what Christian Science has
In common with other religious organ
izatons which accept this 6ible, ant the
Bible teachings regarding God. Has
Christian Science anything In common
with other denominations that accept the
Bible? Upon examination 1t VIII be seen
that there is much In common. All Chris
tiOn people accept the Bible. They un-
derstand that God Is omnipotent, Omnis-
cient OmnipreseIt; meaning by this that
God has all power, is ever present and
Is the creator and source OF all knoWl-
edge. These immortal verities OF Deity
have been accepted by all Christians be-
cause on no other basis can we conceive
Of God as infinite and supreme. a God
Of love who sends only good gifts to His
children. Thus if you should ask man
who accepts the Bible If he believes that
God is omnipIesent, ne would undoubted-
ly answer you In the affirmative. If you
also ask him IL he believes that God
is omuiscient and omuip0tent he would
likewise answer you in the affirmative.
But If you press the matter further. and
ask him If he would rely upon the ON
nipotent goodness of God to heal him
should he be taken suddenly i'll at the
midnight hour he would probably hesi-
tate and perhaps tell you that such re
lance was too vague and transceudental
for him; that he preferred to pin his
faith in some favorite drug or other
material means His answers to the
above questions would probably be the
answers Of many people who accep1

DESTROYER THE

We had been fighting the U-boats with

the destroyer. And the submarine had
an advantage which makes 1t the most
difficult foe on the seds-lts facility for
vanishing from sight by submergence. To
escape the attack of a U-bOat a destroyer

MISS BUSH TELLS HOW
"8IISTAKE' WAS MADE.
Miss Bush's version of the mistake" Ii
as follows:
When the report came from the board
of pardons, the top of the sheet contain-
ing the recommendation, contains the
subject matter of the contents of the re-
port. In this case it was worded Parole
and partial remission of fine, Dennis
Bush, April IA, 1921"
In the rush Of copying the numerous
reports, the executive clerk failed to read
the body OF the report, which did not
contain any recommendation for a parole,
but did contain merely a recommendation
for a partial remission of fine.
The executive clerk accordingly includ-
ed in the order of the Governor the rec
ommendation Of parole, in addition to the
fine remission, and the recommendation
went to the Governor in this form.
According to Miss Bush, the inclusion
