take action to Jail the defendants until
the amounts are paid, as misdemeanor.
County Clerk Richard v. Sipe has
been represented until recently in the
Criminal Court by William Kaiser, but
under an actypassed by the last Legis-
lature, Judge Collins appointed Mr..
Kaiser as chief clerk to the court. The
chief clerk is not under the Jurisdiction
Of the county clerk, but under the con-
troll Of Judge Collins. When Mr.. Kaiser
was appointed chief clerk, Mr.. Sips
transferred Miss Birdie B1lman from,
his office to the Criminal Court as clerk
of the court
81 will investigate stayed fine situa-
ton at once" County Clerk Sipe said, "and
If it is up to myself or to my deputy to
issue orders to jail defendants in such
cases where the fines and costs are I'M
paid and over due. will see to it that
such action is taken as the law requires"
EFFECT TO NULLIFY
ORIGINAL JUDGMENT.
The effect of unpaid and overstayed
fines and costs in the Criminal Court is
virtually to nullify the original judgment
Unless a fine is stayed for a ninety day
period with the proper replevin surety,
the defendant must remain in Jail or .
penal institution until the corresponding
time as expressed in the total fine and
costs are served.
By the failure Of Judge James A COL
line to instruct the clerk in the past to
issue orders to Jail defendants after ths
stay time has expired, the result is That's
many defendants who were found guilty
of violating the State prohibition law
In the Criminal Court, have escaped pay
ing their fines and costs in full and were
released from Jail or the Indiana State
Farm at the expiration of the sentence
only.
The judgment records show that IN
numerous cases defendants have been
favored by being granted additional time
TO pay the fine and costs after the stay
time has expired and after first notice
had been sent to the replevin bail.
Action taken by Prohecutor Evans has
resulted in Louis and Julius Haag Fay
ing their fines and costs in full and also

RALSTON SAYS
HELP OF WOMEN
NEEDED TO WIN
Lack of Funds to Conduct
Campaign Makes Work
an Essential.

In insisting upon law and order he
also is insisting upon safeguarding the
rights of men, declared Boyd NJ. Ralston,
Democratic nominee for mayor, in a
speech before the women workers Of the
party at city headquarters Wednesday
afternoon. Edgar A. Perkins, whom Mr..
Ralston defeated in the primary, also
spoke.
Confession that the Democrats have not
the money with which to carry on the
campaign, "as we should have conducted
it." was made by Mr.. Ralston. He said
that this makes the active support of the
women "aIl the more necessary and i'm
portant and, I will say, appreciated
Democratic workers will stay with him
until the last ballot is counted, despite
the lack of funds he said be believes.
ASKS SUPPORT
FROM BOTH PARTIES.
81 fully realize that if I am elected it
viii be by the support, of the people,
Democrats and Republicans, who have no
selfish purpose to serve by helping me
to the high office l am seeking. Real
public service then will be rendered. in
this campaign, by those who center
their minds on how to have this contest
enc in order best to serve Indianapolis,
rather than how best to get a nomina-
tom two years hence, for a county or
city office. Those pursuing the latter
course are Indifferent to the welfare of
our capital city. and time will disclose
that they have defeated their own am
bition.' q
Women long have desired to improve
municipal government. and quite natu-
rally, for it is the regulation of the well
fare of ones immediate surroundings
which most closely touch the home and
family. he said
1t is up to every city, then, TO safe
guard Its own homes, and If women do
not play their part in doing this the
ballot in their hands will be a mockery,
and, sooner or later, a source of weakness
rather than strength in government"
OUTLINES HOPES
OF ACCOMPLISH
The women, he said he believes, will
exert their power to halt an enemy be-
fore 1t crosses the border into the city
and to drive it out if it does happen to
get established.
Declaring himself keenly conscious that
be will be unable to do many things
that ought to be done If he is elected
mayor, Mr.. RalstOn said he would on
deavor TO got better and cheaper streets,
better markets, with women helping to
supervise them, justice for the south and
west sides, lower taxes with more adj
vantages for the city and law and order.
Mr.. Perkins compared Samuel Lewis
Shank, Republican nominee for mayor,
with "Big Bilr' Thompson OF Chicago.
saving they both are shrewd politicians.
Miss Hazel Fesler and Mrs. Wilmer
