SHANK FLAYED
BY DEMOCRATS
IN PLATFORM
City Organization Reviews
Past Record of Local
Democracy.
ARE VAGUE

A pledge Of governmental economy
is the chief plank in the Democratic
city platform, which was adopted to-
day by the platform committee with
the approval Of Boyd NJ. Ralston,
candidate for mayor, and the other
candidates in a meeting at the In
diana Democratic Club.
Few Of the customary pledges are
made, a great portion of the plat
form being devoted to laudation oi
the past glories of Democratic ad-
ministrations and to criticism Of che
present status Of the city govern
ment.
determined effort is made to link
Samuel Lewis Shank, Republican may
orally aspirant, with the tax extortion-
ate crew" Of Marion County officialdom
and the "Shank- Tutewiler crowd" of
county commissioners Is severely assailed
in an effort TO demonstrate that they
have a peculiar influence with the op-
posing ardidate.
The Democrats also follow the Jewett
cry, used to such little avail in the last
primary, that Mr.. Shank failed when
he was In the mayors office.
The platform is as follows:
THE organization Of the Democratic
party in Dehalf Of the candidates nom
mated upon the Democratic ticket as
officials to administer the government
Of our great and Beautiful city for four
years, earnestly desiring only its wei
fare, ask for them the support Of all
Of its citizens who hold the general pub
lie good above petty partisan advantage

REPREs ENTATIVE OF PARTY.
ours IS a city OF many greatly diver
shed industries, Of many large and small
commercial businesses; and those who
conduct them, employer and employe,
have made It a PROSPEROUS city Of many
homes. To serve the necessities and
comforts Of It's people in such matters
as light, heat, power. water, communi-
cation and transportation, public service,
corporations have been called into be-
ing and have established and conducted
their services. II is a good city to live In
and to come 10. It's people are justly
proud Of It, The government OF the city

continuously than any other government.

Collins Deals
Out Clen1ency
With Ceremony
NeUgeHt Handed Suspended
Sentence and SteTrett
GiUeR Promise.

Great ceremony is being used by Judge
James A Collins Of the Marion County
Criminal Court in handing out suspended
sentences
Charles \ Newgent, who has been in
Jail for nearly six months waiting trial
on a charge of vehicle taking, was pre-
sented with a suspended sentence this
morning following an elaborate ceremony
before Judge Collins.
The stage was nicely set. Newgent was
called and took his place by his attorney
Frank symmes, who represented him in
the Federal Court on charges growing out
of transporting stolen automobiles.
Judge Collins informed Detective Harry
Ruggenstein that the court was willin s
TO do anything that the detective depart
ment recommended.
INDEBTED FOR
BERNAUER ARREST.
Mr.. Ruggenstein stated that Newgent
was the real cause OF the arrest of Carl
Bernauer on charge OF the murder Cf
Samuel Eaids The same recommenda-
ton was made when an attempt was
made to get Charles Jones, who was In
dicted with Bernauer in connection with
the Eaids murder, OF with a light sen
tence.
1t is beginning to look as II the In
dianarolis police department is heavily
indebted to certain individuals for con
victing Bernauer.
A six months suspended sentence was
suggested. So Newgent changed his plea
to guilty, although his attorney claimed
that the evidence showed beyond any
doubt that he did not ed in stealing
the car, but rode In it 20 Toledo, Ohio.
Newgent was then fined 500 and costs
and sentenced to six months at the In
diana State Farm. The sentence was sus-
pended during good behavior.
Counsel stated that Newgent was
under indictment IN the Federal Court
in connection with Ansel Slipper, Car
Bernauer and others regarding the al
legged transporting Of stolen cars.
TWO WIVES, MUST
SUPPORT EN-
The promise of a suspended sentence
also was made By Judge Collins 10 yess-
E. Sterrett, who Is charged with bigamy
The court sentenced Sterrett to from two
to five years, but stated that as soon
as Sterrett obtained a job the sentence
would be suspended to give hin
a chance TO support his two wives
Prosperina Fernandez and Nettie l.
Kirkendel. Both women informed the
court that they were going to be
mothers.
Many interested spectators were in
front of the bench during the perfecting
Of the suspended sentence plan. Among
those present was Irving Webster, editor
of the Indiana Journal, who has cham
pioned the cause of Judge Collins several
times In print.
Counsel for Mrs. Nettie L. Kirkendar
Sterrett, the last wife Of Sterrett, stated
that he was sure that Sterrett would not
support his wives.
Here is one Of sterrett's divorced
wives and she has two children. He
| didn't support her." said counsel for th'
last Mrs. Sterrett.
Mrs. Prosperina Fernandez Sterrett
who is the mother of two children by
Sterrett, was in court defending her hus-
| band.

TRY TO RETAIN
SITE OF STATE
REFORMATORY
Institution Will Not Be Moved
Unless Colgate Com
pany Insists. r.
ANSWER IS ON IT'S WAY

Unless Colgate G Co., cosmetic
manufacturers, who have contracted
to buy the Indiana Reformatory at
Jeffersonville, insist on holding the
State to its contract the reformatory
will not be moved, Governor Warren
T. McCray said today.
The reformatory is, according to
the contract, to be turned over to
the company Oct. 81, 1922. The Gov
ernor stated that the company had
been asked by the State ofrelinquish
its contract or if this can not be done
to extend the time within which 1t is
to take effect as far as possible.
BODY DECIDES
LAW UNWORKABLE.
Thie action was taken, the Governor
said, after the commission for the re-
moval Of the institution had decided the
law is unworkable and that there is not
scufficient money allowed to construct a
new institution. He said he had re-
ceived a telegram from the Colgate Com
pany stating they were mailing an an
swer to the States request but that the
telegram did not intimate what the an
swer would be.
If the Company's answer is favorable
TO the State, the State Will return to il
Sl05,000 already made as a payment on
the property and the matter Of the re-
moval of the reformatory will be held up
until after the next session Of the Legis-
lature
Tie commission foz the removal OF the
reformatory has never been able 10
reach a decision as to where the insti-
tuition should be placed.
TWO INTERPRETATIONS
OF LAW POSSIBLE.
One section Of the law says the insti-
tuition shall be moved TO Putnamyllle and
another section saysIt must be adjacent
to the penal farm, which some legal
opinion hold means anywhere In the
general Heighborhood or in the county.
II Is understood the Governor has taken
the attitude that II the institution Is to
be removed It must 20 10 Pc namville.
It is understood also that the com
mission has taken the attitude tnat the
100000 appropriated by the reEIovsl act
will be far from sufficient to construct
an entirely new institution. BY some
the size OF the appropriation is taken to
be further indication that T. legisla-
ture Intended that the refOrmato-y = should
be Joined with the State farm. N SO Of
the members Of the commission have de-
cided this would not be advisabls despite
the evident intention Of the Legislature.

President Harding. it is said, ordered
drafting of a plan shortly after his cleo
tion last November. A men well versed
in international law, who has the com
plete confidence Of the President, was
asked to undertake -the task, but his
identity has not been made public.
Administration friends explained that
there will be no haste in putting the
scheme In effect.
The plan being entirely divorced from
the World War can be most effectively
worked out when all powers are free to
give calm dispassionate attention to it.
The President is said to feel that it Is
wiser to wait until the auspicious time
arrives than to risk an immediate at
tempt which might fail because of tenn
porary distractions abroad.
