INDIAN UNREST
ALARMS LONDON
Absence of News Indicates
Strict British Censorship.

LONDON, Dec. 13.-Absence Of details
over the increasing unrest in India led
to the belief today that the British have
established a censorship on all dispatches
from that country.
There is much anxiety over the Indian
situation. The apprehension was height
ened by news that the natives in ALA
habad boycotted the visit Of the Prince
Of Wales. The streets through which the
Prince drove We're absolutely empty.
Many arrests have been made through
out India OF both men and women. Gandi,
leader Of the noncooperationists. ordered
only passive resistance, but despite this
measure. disorders have occurred.

Shank May be Forced to
Enter Primaries by Acts
of COf7jn-DOdsOn CrO'Ud

That Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank
will not be able to carry out his an
nounced intention of staying out of pri-
mary elections, but on the other hand
will be forced to enter vigorously in the
coming county primary as a matter of
pure elf-defense is becoming the con
viction Of political observers. He will
have to get into the primary in order
to prevent the erection within his own
administration of a political organiza-
ton inimical to not only his personal
welfare, but also to the harmony Of the
city government for the next four years.
While the mayor-elect has been saying
''hGrds off the primaries" and announc-
ing hat he would take every precaution
to keep the men in his administration
from attempting to control the selection
OF the Republican party's candidates, a
group of his erstwhile supporters has
been quietly going about the business Of
building the framework of a machine
which, If Mr.. Shank wefe to permit 1t to
progress, would not only defeat his plan
of open primaries, but also take control
of the city government out OF his hands,
politicians say.
COFFIN-DODSoN
CROWD ACTIVE.
Strangely enough it is not the remnants
Of the old Jewett Roemler- Lemcke ma
chine which is rearing its head but the
group known as the "Coffin- Dodson
crowd" The first step which the mayor
elect will have to take in curbing the
menace within his own official household
is understood to be the complete crush
ing Of the plans of the Coffin Dodson
crowd.
This element has been working very
secretly, it is said utilizing the past
three or four weeks to lay It's lines
in both the city hall and courthouse.
County Recorder John Caster, County
Assessor Jack Douglas, County Clerk
Richard V. Sipe and Commissioners
Harry D. Tutewiler and Carlln shank
brother of the mayor-elect, are under
stood TO be aligned with the new move
ment. they having been counted in the
Cof1n-Dodson camp heretofore.
DIR. .HoDGIN MAY ASK
COUNTY GUARDIANSHIP.
Observers believe that It will not be
former Chief of Police George Y, Conn
or former Sheriff Otis Dodson who will
first appear in the open at the head of
the new Shank menace. Rather, 1t is
said that the plan calls for DR.. f. Z.
Hodgin, Shank primary campaign mana
ger and appointee for chairman OF the
board OF public health under Mr.. shank,
to become a candidate for the Republican
county craftsmanship. DR.. Hodgin Is
popularity credited with responsibility
for the efforts to build the Coffin Dodson
machine within the Shank family.
DIR. Hodgln has been given practically
unlimited authority by Mr.. Shank in tie
designation OF persons for appointment
Indiana daily times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1914-1922, 1921-12-13

+ to positions under the board of public
! health. The way in which DR.. Hodgin
has used this privilege has had much to
do with the suspicion that he is engaged
in the construction of the new machine
In support of this politicians point to
the naming of Richard Poole. former cor
oner and always a member Of the Coffin
Dodson group, superintendent of the city
hospital
SOURBIER REGARDED
IN WITH PLAN.
Another member Of the Shank organiza-
ton who is understood to be working
upon the Cofin-Dodson plan is Edward
g. Sourbier, former county treasurer auI
designated by Mr.. Shank for member
ship on the board OF public safety. Re
Gently a legal hitch in this appointment
has appeared but Mr. Shank has said
that he will have the difficulty ironed out
If possible and name Mr.. Sourbler any
way.
Why such Importance is being attached
to Mr.. Sourbier Is something of a mys-
terry to politicians. Leaders declare that
Mr.. Sourb!er has little personal follow
ing and little real influence in political
circles. II IS we'll known, Of course. that
he has on occasion dug into his pocket
and donated handsomely to campaign
funds, but most leaders do not take his
political power seriously. Mr.. SOurbier
has been rebuffed in a numt er OF moves
made by the mayor-elect. In fact, except
in tie case of the health department ap-
pointments the Coffin Dodson combine
practically has been ignored,
Recent whispers of the capitalization
Of opposition to the mayor-elect among
members Of the new crry council is con-
sidered by some to bear out the reports
that there is an effort TO hamstring Mr..
shank within his own walls. This op-
position. perhaps would not have even
been expressed If It had not been nur-
tured on the quiet by the Coffin Dodson
people, politicians say.
NEW MEN HESITATE TO
TREAT WITH CONVERSATIONS.
Progression Of the Coffin Dodson move
ment Is viewed with considerable suspi-
cion by the supporters Of United States
Senator Harry S. New, to whom over
lures are said TO have been made by
those menaclng Shank control. The sus-
picion Of the New people and their hest
fancy in treating with the new combina-
ton is based upon the fact that they
put no faith in Coffin, 1t IS said. being
unable 10 N e up their minds as to
whether Mr. Coffin viii be tomorrow
where he sas he is today.
Such has been che extent of the activi-
ties Of those seeking to undermine Mr.
Shank that it is thought by some that
It may become necessary for tho mayor
elect to form m alliance with what re-
mains Of the old Jewett- Roemler Lemcke
organization and politicians are watch
ing closely for any move in This dlrcc-
ton.

OfPOisOn Gas
IT'S Thing From He'll Says
Shattered Veteran, and
Others Agree.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The voice
of Americas shattered manhood,
back from the World War with
wounds, rose from the beds Of Walter
Reed Hospital today with an appeal
for the abolition Of poison gas war
fare.
A score of shell torn veterans, some
modestly hiding medals, bitterly con-
demned chemical warfare as too in
human" All Of them went through
the "mists of death" ON the fields of
France Some still cough from gas
scared lungs. One man, sans leg,
sans arm, but still dead game, spoke
for Il dormitory of suffering Yanks.
Gas is a thing from hell" he said
with conviction. at was born OF
thirst to torture These boys with
a sweep of his one good ARM went
through it. They'll say cut out the
gas"
With a roar came back the answer
from the invalids-"Wen say So"
SOME ARE BITTER
TOWARD ALL WAR.
Some of the veterans, wearied a lit
tie from three long years in hospital
beds, were bitter toward all war.
What does it matter what is used,
so long as there is war;" was their
hopeless question.
I'D face bullets any time sooner
than gas again." said Frank Babit of
Glib Hay street, Pittsburgh. "I saw
men soldering at the mouth from
gas. That was enough for me. It's
too horrible even for war.
II saw men droop like parched
flowers in gas attacks. Let the con-
ference rule it out" declared Ralph
ShorteIl of Philadelphia.
Part me from it, buddy" said
Lewis J. Patterson of Francis,
Okla. "I'd walk in front Of ma
chine gun any old time rather than
face a gas attack"
GAS Is FINE FOR
GENERAL sTAFFS."
"Gas is fine business for the gen.
era STATS ia planning attacks, but
hell for the men. I say toss it out
of warfare" was the vote of Willie
Sauders0n of Florence, MINI.
"A gas attack is Whit of hell.
Rule II out" asserted Fred Puget Of
Chicago.
There's nothing worse than gas"
said Park jarrett Of Alva, III.
Thank God. II the conference elimi-
mates it from future warfare"
Charles N. Webb Of Cleveland, Ohio,
was one who favored gas.
This mans country must win,
and In the next war wen have to
have gas to win"

Most Ridiculous
Oversight in His
craftsmanship!

HAMMOND, Ind, Dec. 13.-Louis
Sal is cursing his craftsmanship to-
day. He shot and killed Kaleman
Juan when he intended to slay his
wife. The mistake occurred at
dance given by Sal at which Juan.
countrymqn, was the honor guest.
Sal DECIDED, he said, that Juan was
dancing ''impOlitely" with Mrs. Sal
and, blaming his wife for permitting
the familiarity and not Juan for
committing it, he blazed away.

for the purposes Of peace, organized in
the interests of peace, become a league
for war, an association for war, In ac-
cordance with the military condition or
status OF those whoe are members Of it
In the event a combination between
Russia and China combined to attack an
insular possession of one OF the powers
signatory to the treaty and they should
assemble and agree to course or action,
the United States, Mr.. Borah said, would
be morally bound by the action, just as
under Article Y of the League OF Ma
tons Stressing that this alliance makes
IT absolutely necessary real disarmament
take place here or else it becomes moth
ing in the world but military alliance
bv which the Pacific is TO Oe controlled
~ the four great military powers of
the world Mr.. BOrab said the proposal
was the same as the Anglo-Japanese al
lance. except for some changes in Ian
guage.
POISDEXTER BREAKS
INTO DISCUSSION
Senator Poindezter broke in that the
four power treaty, unlike the Anglo
Japanese alliance, made no provision for
military assistance in case Of war. When
Mr.. Borah retorted that like situations
MUulA IEcAAI anu tAAl4ALN VA AAi1 oN-iA-
ton. whatever differences there might be
in the words Of the treaty. Mr.. Poindex-
ter pointed out the new treaty was for
the protection of Pacific islands alone. At
this point Senator Reed Of Mississippi
pointed out the World War had its in
ception in an assassination in Serbia.
Under the provisions of the Anglo
Japanese alliance, Mr.. Borah said, the
rights Of China diminished and her ter
ritoriaI integrity diminished from day
to day.
When Mr.. Poindexter contended the
treaty provided an intrument through
which Great Britain would offer her
good offices" for settlement in the
event the Philippines should be attacked,
Senator Robinson of Arkansas, brought
in Article Y. of the league Of nations,
"If we should enter this agreement"
Mr.. Reed broke IN, 'If the exigency
arose. nations assembled and our rep
resentatives and the representatives OF
other governments agreed upon a course
of military action, and Congress refused
to ratify 1t, we would stand before the
world as breakers Of treaties"
SAYS NEW PACT
is NOT DANGEROUS.
Mr. Poindexter held the treaty con-
tains 10 such language as Article < OF
the League Of Nations such as would
compel such action. Mr.. Robinson con-
tended the obligations incurred under
the treaty were precisely the same as
those under Article X Of the league.
The coloquy brought from Mr.. Borah
the statement he would favor entering
the Lea que of Nations OF this alliance II
real disarmament were brought about
so these agencies could not be used as
instrument of force. Having entered such
an agency under those conditions, he said
he would trust to public opinion to en-
force the course Of action agreed upon
in an emergency. Mr.. Polndexter sug-
gested he would be "disillusioned' II he
counted upon the force of public opinion
TO bear the necessary amount Of weight.

When Mrs. Kiroff arrived at her cell

INSTRUCTIONS OF

At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr..

attack upon the instructions of the

The State was represented by Deputy
Prosecutor Sidney Miller Of Marion

Morgan County. Both argued that the

shot him.

failed to produce or name the man. She
claimed that the shooting was accidental.
