They favored either leaving the space,
and gravelling 1t so as to make it suit
able for a parking place for automobiles,
or deferring action on the resolution
until it is definitely decided whether the
city is going to be able to force the street
railway company to carry out track ex-

HONEYMOON CUT
SHORT BY POLICE
Memphis Couple Taken Here
on Orders From South.

A honeymoon of a newly welded
couple starting at Memphis, Tenn, and
planned to extend to Montreal Canada.
ended in Indianapolis today when Kyle
w. Leake, 30. and his wife, Edna, %.
were arrested on the charges of being
fugitives from Justice and vagrancy.
They were married at Memphis June 1.
according to the wedding license exhibit
ed by Mrs. Leake.
J. B. Burney, chief of police at Mem
phis, telegraphed the Indianapolis de-
partment to arrest Leake, who, he says,
is wanted at Memphis on the charge of
bigamy. Leake admits that he was mar
ried before, but declares that he obtained
a divorce from his first wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leake, accompanied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Tiller, of Memphis,
started to motor to Mrs. Leakes former
home in Montreal, in Mr.. Leake's auto
mobile. They stopped at 041 North Ala
bama street, in this city, en- route. Their
money becoming a little short, they told
the police they decided to sell the auto
mobile and purchase a smaller car or
possibly continue on their journey on
a train. The automobile dealer, fearing
1t was a stolen car, insisted that Leake
go to police headquarters with him and
if the car was not reported on the stolen
list he would purchase it. Leake went
to the detective office and proved that
the automobile was his own, but De-
tectives Stone and Efferson arrested him
as the man wanted IN Memphis.

At Last They
Meet-LenlGux,
Shank Tonight
Political Opponents VIII At
tend Platform Session at
Marion Club.

Unless one or the other changes his
mind today Samuel Lewis Shank, Repub-
Hcan candidate for mayor. and Irving W.
Lemaux, Republican city chairman, whose
resignation Mr. Shank has demanded, will
meet tonight at last.
Both intend to go to the meeting of
Republican city candidates with the Re
publican city platform committee at the
Marion Club. Mr.. Shank goes as one
Of the candidates. Mr.. Lemaux goes as
& guest, invited by Walter W. Wise,
chairman of the candidates organization,
without objection from Mr.. Shank. Mr.
Lemaux a few weeks ago refused to
accept an invitation of the candidates to
meet with them at Mr.. Shank's home
The two never have met
Actions of both the candidate and the
chairman were to be carefully watched
by other politicians tonight. The News
Jewett wing of the party, which the
Shank faction is kicking out of control
was particularly anxious that something
happen which would help Mr.. LemauT
retain his position as chairman The
Shank people, however, were pointing
out that Mr.. Lemaux's position was not
at all enviable in that he comes to the
meeting not as a participant but as
mere onlooker. This is the position in
which the Shank forces intend to hold
him in case he stands upon his refusal
to resign.
General discussion Of the platform will
be the chief business at the meeting. Five
people will be chosen from the thirty five
men and women on the general platform
committee, TO draft the document. II is
not expected that it will be finally pre-
pared for several weeks
On the ground that he is opposed to
Mr.. Shanks election, Charles J. Lynn,
1919 Washington boulevard. refused to ac-
cept Mr.. Wise's invitation that he be-
come a member Of the platform commit
tee. Mr.. LYNN said he is going to vote
