I'm Republican,
Is Only AnsWer
Mayor Makes
City Chief NOncOnlnmttdL
When Asked if He Will
Support Shank.

'tAll I have to say Is that 1 am a Re-
publican" said Mayor Charles W. Jewett
today when asked If he cared to state
whether he intends to support Samuel
Lewis Shank, Republican nomine for
mayor.
II have not thought Of politics since
primary night"
The mayor was at his office early clear
ing his desk Of city business which has
accumulated in the last week. He said
he intends to stick close to the job and
expressed the hope that officials and citi
zens will forget political differences for
the time being and attend to important
civic problems that remain to be solved
in his administration.
particular bid for peace between the
administration and administration
wings of the city council was made by
Mayor Jewett.
There is no mora urgent need than
for the erection of the nurses home at
the city hospital and the remodeling and
renovating Of the city market house" he
said. "Now since the primary IS over
lc is to be hoped that we can all get to-
gether and start this work because 1t is
not political. 1t is an urgent need for
the benefit Of the city"
Ordinances approving a bond Issue OF
$500, 900 for the nurses home and S125, 900
for the remodelng Of the market are
pending in the council. The market or
dinance has failed Of passage once be-
cause of the negative vote Of four anti
administration councilmen. The nurses
home ordinance has never been brought
to a vote.
One of the first pieces Of pressing bust
ness to be gotten out Of the way, the
mayor said. is the relocation Of the mu-
nicipal yards.
The city has intended for two years
to establish the yards on city property
bounded by Kentucky and Drover ave-
nues, West Morris street and White
River Recently a delegation Of property
owners objected on the grounds that
stabling of mules and horses on the
ground would be injurious to nearby
residence neighborhOods.
I'VE do not want TO tnflict any un-
pleasant burden on the people Of West
Indianapolis" the mayor said. Rather
than do that we viii look for a new To-
cation for the municipal yards that viii
be less Objectionable"
II another location can be found the
mayor said he intends to ask the park
board to try to convert the present pro-
posed location into q park. The property
adjoins the Riley Memorial playground
and with its frontage on White River
would be an ideal site for q recreation
spot according to the mayor.

are serious competitors Of "readin'
writin' and 'rithmetic," the report of the
superintendent OF schools In an Indiana
city to the State department ef educa-
tion contends.
The pupils OF the city were asked the
following questions;
Which is your favorite moving picture
theater?
Why did YOU select this theater7
How many movies did you attend last
weekl
How much money did You spend toE
shows last weeks
Who is Jour favorite movie actor? Ac-

Which OF tho following kinds of pic
lures do you enjoy: Travel. comedy,
romance, mystery, adventure, seEials,
war, athletic. detective, heroic, loye
story, melodrama?
What is the best picture you have
ever seen?
The superintendent reports the follow
ing results Of the examination:
Il have some information here which
I received from the pupils a few days
ago, relating to their attendance at our
moving picture theaters. I have had a
great number Of failures In school work
here at the close Of the last semester
and in order to get to the bottom Of
this and remedy it, I set about to find
the chief causes. / found that a num-
Der Of my boys had attended shows as
high as eight times a week and the
greatest amount Of money paid by any
one child during the week was 1910 We
found children spending as much as 81

school books and, IN one building. one
child had spent 70 cents and we had
been furnishing him milk to drink in
order to build up his constitution Il sup
pose to attend picture shows).
I'VE had some very amusing answers
TO the question why they selected some
one particular show. One answer was
vulgar vaudeville enjoyed; another was
better robbers, better Shooters and one
I thought was very good IN which he
said: The building IS fumigated every
day.
"As to the pupils who had spent most
OF their time In the shows l found sixty
eight pupils who had attended picture
shows three or more times that week.
Out Of that number I found only two
who had passing grades. l also found
thirty nine students who had never at
tendeu picture snow IN Lnelr llVes, ana
only one in that group has ever received
a falling grade. think this pretty good
evidence as to the great number of
failures.
"As to the amount of money that the
students were spending, using the fig
ures for this week as a basis for the
nine months of school, it would total
s6542
"As to the iavorite moving picture &C
tor or actress, Fatty Arbuckla and
Charlie Chaplin were so far in the lead
that 1 refused TO take any more time to
count the rest Of them.
"As TO the best pictures they had ever
seen. comedies and detective stories were
far in the lead. OF course. some fellows
did say they enjoyed educational pictures,
but they were very few"

surprise to ms in view Of the fact that
a newspaper yesterday quoted him as

Of Mr.. Shank came to me Wednesday
