SHANK PUTS
MEMORIALUP
TOPLAN BODY
Original Stand on
World War Project
Modified.
VETS CASE FIRST
If Commission Says
Place Suitable All
Is Well.

A modification by Mayor-Elect
Samuel Lewis Shank of his origan1
stand in opposition to a war me-
mortal at this time and of one down
town at any time, and a joint meet
ing Of the county council and the
board Of commissioners to discuss
the authorization of a bond issue for
such a memorial, were developments
today in the controversy over the
construction of a structure to COM
memorate Indiana's part in the
world war.
Mr.. Shank originally was against ever
establishing q memorial in the territory
bounded by Meridian, North, Vermont
and Pennsylvania streets, as proposed by
the present city authorities and against
any plaza, no matter where situated, IN
til the disabled veterans are properly
housed in hospitals and the bonus Ques-
tiOn settled.
Today he said he thought the matter
ought to be put up to the city city plan
commission. He still believes that the
disabled veterans should be taken care Of
first, but after that eff the city plan
commission, after investigation with the
new engineer it has employed, decides
that the location downtown is where the
plaza ought to be, why you'u find Shank
out fighting for it. Let's take time to
look into this matter"
The council and the commissioners had
before them resolutions passed by the
Junior Chamber Of Commerce and by the
Templeton-Parry Post No. 126, American
Legion, in addition to pleas of committees
and individuals asking that the council
authorize at once a bond issue Of 81 ,600,-
600 for the countys part in the memorial
plaza.
An informal Joint conference was called
last night by County Commissioner Harry
D. Tutewiler for this afternoon, President
Carlin II. Shank, IN outlining the pur-
poses Of the meeting, stated that the COM
mlssioners wished to discuss the plaza
proposition as well as a bridge and road
building campaign for next year.
I'VE want to know what effect, If we
should authorize the big bond issue for
the plaza, It would have on other appro-
/ rriations and bond issues for next year.
Mr.. Shank stated. at is only fair that
We take is up with the council"
Commissioner Lewis W. George, the
only member of the board of commission
ers who has stated he was ready to sign
an order authorizing the plaza bond
issue, stated that the council has no
authority under the law to approve or
disapprove Of a bond issue for the plaza
as at rests entirely with the commits
sionerS''
In a letter addressed to Mr. Tutewiler
from the Junior Chamber of Commerce.
which passed a resolution indorsing the
requested bond issue for the plaza, it was
pointed out that cit would be great
calamity to the county and city not to
be able to proceed at once with the car
rying out of this great project"

Arbuckle Revisits Scene of Gay Party,
But This Time He's Accompanied by Jury

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. ia little
more than two months ago, an auto
mobile representing an expediture Of
$25 900, drew up at the portals of San
Francisco's most prominent hOstelry and
deposited at its portals its 265-pound
owner. The arrival registered as "Ros-
coe Arbuckle" and the elevator carried
him to the twelfth floor. Then began a
gay party which ended in death.
Today the elevator carried the same
man up to the same suite Of rooms, but
accompanying him was a different sort
of party. 1t was the jury trying him for
manslaughter.
In order that, the jury Of seven men
and five women which yesterday heard
the first of the States testimony of the
famous film star charged with RESPONSE
bility for the death of Virginia Rappe,
might understand fully the details of the
party to be related by the State In its
attempt to convict, arrangements were
made for the visit to the hotel.
JURY HAS ANOTHER
QUESTION TO DECIDE.
Gavin McNab, counsel for Arbuckle,
suggested to the court that the jury go
and see the rooms and learn for them
selves their arrangement, with the loca-
tion Of the doors and furniture, which are
to figure prominently in the evidence.
The District Attorney heartily seconded
the suggestion and Judge Louderback
made arrangements for the plan to be
carried out.
The jury also must decide Just how

BANDIT KILLED.
OFFICER HURT
INPOSTAL RAID
Robbers Fail in Attempt to
Rob Montpelier Post
office.

MONTPELIER, Ind, Nov. 10.-One un-
identified man is dead and Jerry Engle.
40, night policeman, Is thought to be dy-
ing, as the result Of a shooting affray
30 this morning, when the policeman
frustrated an attempt to rob the post
office here. The bandits were detected
before they had succeeded in opening the
safe.
The policeman discovered the bandits
at work, and running to the postoffice,
ordered the outside man to put up his
hands. As the bandit raised his hands,
he fired one shot, the bullet entering
Engle's abdomen. As Engle fell, he fred
at the thug.
The other bandits ran when they heard
the shots, leaving their wounded com
paniOn. He crawled into the vestibule of
the postofflce, where he was found dead
about 40 minutes later.
The wounded policeman was taken to a
hospital at Blufrton, where his condition
is said to be serious.
No trace Of the three bandits has been
found.

Gated he was william J. Hall Of Colum-
bus, Ohio. A letter in his pocket was
signed n Toledo attorney.

drawn. 1t brought from Judge Louder
back the announcement that all-day seS-
siOns would be held Saturdays and that
night sessions in all probability would
prevail. But he conceded that the jury
might vote as to whether this afternoon
would be a half holiday. The younger
members of the legal STATS are praying
that the jury-which can't go to the
football game-will not be mean about it.
THE FIRST EVIDENCE
CAUSES LITTLE CONCERN.
The sum total of the first days eyi-
dence taking was not unfavorable to the
defense. DR.. Shelby Strange autopsy
surgeon, a State witness, was not posi-
tive witness. On cross examination he
proved uncertain as to the time at which
bruises he described on the body Of Vir-
ginia Rappe might have been incurred
The State did not dwell on his testl-
mony long.
DR.. William Ophuls, Stanford Hos
pital surgeon, gray of beard, long of ex-
perience and well acquainted with the
ways OF the witness chair, was a better
witness. He was positive when the de-
fense seemed to try toe corner him on a
question and he insisted on his right to
explain and usually won his point. The
State gained q legal victory when the de-
fense's first Hypothetical question to
him was barred
He expressed the opinion that the rup-
tured bladder which he described finding
in the body of Virginia Rappe was the
result of a display of violence" On
cross examination he admitted a posi-
bility that muscular contraction" could
have caused the rupture. The defense
cited numerous sorts of muscular con
traction and the doctor described them
all as vague possibilities"

City Board of
Public Health
Again Broke
Regular SeRti-AnnudL Con
tOrtiOn of Bankruptcy
NOW in Progress

The board Of public health is going
through its semi-annual throes Of
bankruptcy today. The board Of health
is broke.
Dr. Herman G. Morgan, secretary of
the board, announced that the board, as
usual. will have TO seek a temporary
loan Just as soon as possible after the
new city council takes office Jan. 2. The
board has been operating upon borrowed
money ever since II got its own tax levy
ten years ago, but the board is BROKE"
a little worse than usual this time be-
cause even the borrowed money was not
stretched out to last until more came in.
The board OF health levy of OF cents
was estimated to bring about 100000 in
taxes this year. The board made its
usual 100000 temporary loan last jan
uary In anticipation of the tax money
to be received in June from the May
collection period About $200.000 worth of
taxes came In ,Sune and this had to be
used 10 retire The temporary loan. Then
another loan for 100000 had to be made
tc keep the city hospital and other nc
tivities of the department running until
the next tax settlement is received. which
probably win be early in December.
However, that date is two weeks off and
the S%VofVOo Is spent. Ut. morgan cOulu
not say how much the unpaid bills at
the present time amount to. He said he
is having them checked. Practically all
OF the December tax money will have to
be used to retire the June temporary
loan. Thus bills viii have to go unpaid
until after a new loan is made in Jan
uary. The loan cannot be made before
January because the health board can
not borrow money on temporary loans in
any one year in anticipation Of the taxes
of the next. The loans must be paid of

ROADHOUSES IN
VIGO QUIT AT
ANDERSON WRIT
Stubborn Booze and Jazz En-.
pOriums Yield to Power of
u. S. Injunction.
LONG BATTLE AT END

Without the loud firing Of legal guns,
without the slightest show of resistance,
five rOadhouses in the vicinity of Terre
Hause, which according to Noble c. John
son, prosecutor Of Vigo County, have
successfully defed all efforts of State
authorities to close them, ran up the
white flag and ignominiously surrendered
when the injunction suits against them
were called before Judge Albert B. An
dersou in Federal Court today.
Attorneys representing the owners Of
the property consented to the Issuance Of
a restraining order and a permanent in
junction forbidding the use Of the prop
erty in question for the sale Of liquor
Thus, in few minutes in Federal Court
was accomplished what Vigo County au-
thorities have failed to accomplish in
number Of years.
Credit. however, goes to Prosecutor
Johnson, according to Frederick Van
Nuys. United State District Attorney.
1T was Mr.. Johnson who prepared these
cases and it is through his efforts that
the injunctions have Leen obtained" he
declared
Mr.. johnson said that he has been able
to get convictions against the opera, ors
Of roadhouses in Vigo County, but that
has not prevented the continued opera
tion of the places. 1t was to put stop
to their operation that he decided upon
injunction proceedings.
BOY OWNER
OF PROPERTY.
In almost every instance lawyers ap-
pearing for the property owners explained
that the owners did not know for what
purpose the property was being used.
Judge Anderson seemed little skeptical
about this and when one lawyer said his
client never had heard that the place
was being operated as a road house
Judge Andersen said; -e7@
"She ought to improve her hearing
little"
The case against Theodore Won Gestel,
named as an owner Of the property oc-
cupied by the Wisteria Gardens, was dis
missed when it was shown that he is a
high school boy 10 years of age, that he
has nothing to say about the control or
management of the property and that he
will not come into his one-thlrd interest
I'm II for some time.
Bonds ere set at 81 900 in each case
except that Of Locke's roadhouse. In
this case the bond was made $500
The vigO County roadhouses have long
been the subject OF complaint on the part
of residents Of the neighborhOod and
Federal officials have received many com
/ mpnica lions saying that local authorities
have done little or nothing to close
them up.
The following defendants are named in
the suits: George Pinder, proprietor Of
"Frenchie's" and Fannie McCarty, for
merly Fannie Darris, owner OF the prop
erty; Herry jenkins and James Law
horn, rrOprietors of the Bungalow Inn,
and Mack II. Lucas. owner of the prop
erty; Hobart Gosnall, proprietor of Wis

of United States

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Nov. 19.-
America here today launched a great
battIeship, the West Virginia.
The Nation hopes it will be her

cradle the colossal cold steel craft
spans two city squares-624 feet.
Three more partly complete ships
of war rested nearby in their ways,
the Constellation and the Ranger, bat
tie cruisers, and the Iowa, battle
ship
Little Miss Alice Mann of BramwelI,
Va, sent the monster on its way.
Eight 16-lnch guns that will hurl
big shells for thirty miles Will he
mounted on the completed ship.
These viii be backed up by fourteen
five-inch guns, four three-inch anti
aircraft guns and two submerged
torpedo tubes.
The approximate cost of the West
Virginia viii be S25 5,0OO, 600. About 6S
per cent complete, sl5,0OO,O00 already
has been spent upon her.
