SPRINGSTEEN'S
TERM EXPIRES
ON THURSDAY
COntenderS for POstmastership
Warm to Fight as Time
Nears.

The fOur-y year term Of Postmaster
Robert Z. Springsteen win expire next
Thursday aud politicians expect the con
test to succeed him among Republican
candidates to warm up considerably there
on. John Salter, backed by the Shank
interests; Robert II. Bryson. candidate
Of the News-Jewett wing; Richard
Lowther. bssing his hopes upon the work
he did in the Harding Club during the
national campaign and W. f. Cleary, clerk
Of the board Of public works supported
by some business Interests and possessed
OF long experience as a postoffice inspec
tor are the princiapl contenders.
The fight to land the plum, which is
considered one Of the best Federal ap-
pointments in Indiana, has been in prog
ress since the Republican party rode
into power in the national election last
fall 1t has been complicated ly civil
service regulations, which provide that
aspirants must make application TO the
civil service bureau and pass an ex-
animation. The examination IS regarded
as a more or less perfunctory matter by
some Of the hopeful, who say that who
ever Hoosler leaders in Washington agree
upon will be the happy man
A date for the examination has not
been set because the Postoffice Depart
ment has not certified a vacancy In the
Indianapolis office to the civil service
bureau. Although this sometimes is done
in advence of the actual end OF an In
cumbent's term 1t has not been done in
this case and Federal officials here do
not believe 1t win be until after Thurs
day.
In some quarters the belief is enter
tanned that Washington leaders, having
an eye upon next years election of Rep
resentatives and Senators to Congress
desire to permit Postmaster Springsteen
to hold Office until after the municipal
election this fall. Samuel Lewis shank
Republican candidate for mayor, has de
manded that no more Federal plums fall
to adherents Of the News-Jewett machine.
II Shank is elected mayor he viii be in
position TO help or damage the congress
sional candidates next year. On the
other hand, If he loses, the prospective
candidates desire to be in position to
claim the continued friendship Of the
News-Jewett clique, which opposes
Shank, it is said. The disposition OF
those who have the appointment to pass
out, those who adhere to the above
theory, Is to wait and see who will con
troll the Republican party after the No
vember voting.
Others believe that action to fill Mr..
Springsteens place will be begun imme
diately after the end Of his term.

age and sewage disposal plants at

themselve and came away convinced.
And being convinced that the reduc-
ton plant and night soil dump consti-
tute a menace to the health and comfort
of the whole city, such as no other
municipality in the world would stand,
Mr. Schmidt is trying to find a way to
force the board Of sanitary commissioners
to abate the nuisance, something at which
he is not having much luck, because
the Jewett administration so framed the
sanitary law that no one can exercise
control Of any nature over the board.
There's nothing TO keep me from
telling Of the horrors Of Sellers farm.

DR.. c. P. Emerson, dean of the
Indiana School of Medicine, has
tacitly admitted that the medical
college is continuing It's practice Of
conducting experimental operations
on dogs, that the supervision of this
work by agents of the indianapolis
Humane Society has proved a farce
and that dogs confined in the col
lege kennels were kept there in a
condition such as demanded their
immediate destruction in. the name
Of humanity.
Following a complaint made at a Sc
cret board meeting Of the indianapolis
Humahe Society that thf college was not
living up to its agreement with the So
ciety relative to the dogs, Dr. Emerson
was ed for statement as to the
truth or falsity Of the following charges

ended FOR the summer. that the ken
