RALSTON WON'T
BE CANDIDATE
FOR SENATOR
Former Governor Issues State
ment, but Makes No
Comment.
TAGGART IS MENTIONED

Eamuel ri. Ralston. former Governor
Of Indiana, announced today that he win
not He d candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the United States Senate.
He dictated this statement and de-
clined to comment further;
Il can not in Justice to my law firm,
recently reorganized. or in justice TO my
self, be a candidate for the United States
senate.
MANY WISHED RALsTON
To ENTER LISTS.
1t has been generally understood
among Democratic party workers that
Mr.. Ralston would be a candidate. A
great deal OF pressure had been brought
to bear on him and had previously de-
ciined to give a definite answer. He re-
peatedly made the statement that his
personal and financial affairs stood in
his way.
The announcement of the former Gov
erncr leaves things pretty much up in
the air" so far as the Democratic side
of the fight is concerned. The only
avowed candidate is Bernard Shiyely OF
Marion and he frankly is not looked
upon with favor by party leaders
Undoubtedly efforts will he made by
Mr.. Ralston's friends TO persuade him to
reconsider his decision.
The announcement Of Mr.. Ralston he
will not be a candidate has brought
forth an enormous amount of speculation
as 10 the possible candidate. The name
Of Thomas Taggart Is most often heard.
although Mr.. Taggart has repeatedly
said he Will not be a candidate
Persons advocating Mr.. Taggart as
candi1ate point out, however, he was
very active in urging Mt. Ralston to
make the race and now that Mr.. RalstOn
has withdrawn, he may be more favor
able toward becoming a candidate him
self. Mr.. Taggart was not IN the city
and no expression Of his views could be
obtained.
TAGGART REPORT
GAINS STRENGTH.
II is known petitions asking the name
Of Mr.. Taggart be placed on the primary
ballots have been circulated. It IS pos
sible such a petition will be filed with the
Secretary Of State without Mr.. Taggart's
consent. This will bring the matter to
showdown and Mr.. Taggart would be ex-
pected either to demand the withdrawal
OF the petition or 10 make the race
Among the other strong possibilities
was Walter Myers Of Indianapolis. Mt.
Myers was talked Of some time ago as
the candidate for the Senate, but the
talk died out when 1t was understood
Mr.. Ralston would make the race Since
that time Mr.. Myers has been talked Of
as a candidate for Congress He IS a
former service man and IS well known
as an attorney and orator.
OBRIEN is
POSSIBILITY.
Another possibility who Is being dis
cussed is William II. O'Brien. OF Law
renceburg, former State treasurer. Mr..
O'Brien. however, IS understood TO have
informed friends he will not be a can
didate
Other names mentioned are those of
Albert Stump Of indianapolis, Dan Sims
Of Lafayette, w. V. Darroch of Kent
land. Claude G. Bowers Of TT. Wayne
Lincoln Dixon Of North Vernon. L. Ert

Ready said.
When he explored the 10000 foot level
recently he found an air pressure of only
three pounds a square inch. Fifteen
thousand feet higher he believes, may
bring a collapse to the plane, failure Of
the engine, an ineficiency in the super
charger of an explosion of his body.
The newly constructed craft will carry
first three possibilities.
His body was puffy and the body It's

record. He pushed the nose of his plane
upward but its physical limit had been

DAYTON, Ohio. Feb. 15.-Lieutenant
J. A. MacReady, holder of the worlds
altitude record, is preparing to fly to
the ceiling of the world-the altitude at
which he estimates his body will ex-
plode.
MacReady, dissatisfied with his re-
cent fight record Of 10000 feet, said
today he is building a super-charger to

Questions Right to

The question of whether Charles p.
Coffin, a member Of tho indianapolis
board Of public works and OF the board
Of trustees OF the State Normal School,
can legally serve IN both capacities has
been brought before Governor Warren T.
McCray. The Governor s1id that Mr..
Coffin has offered to serve on the normal
board without pay or travelling expenses
in order to get around the provision Of
the law which prevents a persons from
holding who remunerative public pO-
sitions. The Governor said the matter

Break With Mayor
Politics Cause.

After being subjected to heavy political
pressure for two weeks, the board Of
public safety today rescinded its in
structions to Chief Of Police Herman F.
Rikhof to suspend Patrolman John Cor
Tieau and file charges Of characterization
against him for failing to obey an order
to report to a doctor for examination

Sourbier. Republican member, dissented-
The board then adopted a resolution rec
ommending Corrican TO the police pension
trustees for retirement.
Lieut.. Samuel Gaddis, secretary OF the
police pension fund. said Corrisan would
be sent 10 a doctor at once and his case
laid before the board at its next regu-
lar meeting. March :.
The boards action. for the time be
ing, dispelled possibilities OF a breach
between itself and Mayor Samuel Lewis
Shank.
The Corrigan affair has excited IN
usual interest because he has been on
the police force for thirty-six years and
had politicians, both great and small,
working overtime to keep the board from
filing charges against him, so his record.
which is without blemish, might remain
clear.
LONG SERVICE
RECORD HELPS.
In voting to rescind their action,
President Ernest Z. Kingston and Demo-
cratic Member James g Armitage took
pains to state they believe Corrigan was
guilty Of 4 bad breach Of discipline, but
they were inclined TO be lenient because
Of his long service.
The action of the board restores Cor
rigan to duty in Juvenile court, pending
decision Of the pension fund trustees.
The law gives the trustees tha right to
retire Corrigan If he is found incapable
OF doing any police duty whatever,
Lieutenant Gaddis said.
Mr.. Kingston, discussing the affair at
the meeting. said Mayor shank had told
the board he never had instructed Cor
rigan to ignore the board.
He said the only thing he said was
somebody suggested Mr.. Corrigan was
going TO resign Feb. and in that event
it might not be necessary for him to

WALL STREET IN AUSTRALIA

1t is noticeable fact that Wall
Street has become interested in
Australia as a fertile field for invest
ment. w. l.. Baillieu, finanlier and
head of the firm of W. L. Baillieu in
Melbourne, Australia, in a recent in
terview with Boston business mon is
quoted as saying:
Take for example the two loans
that were issued by Wall Street
firms for constructive work in
Queensland. One of these loans, is
sued last December, was for $12 600 =
900 at per cent and the other issued
in February, was for $10,000.o00. Both
of these loans We're fioatcd below par.
This was unprecedented and shows
concretely how interested Wall
Street has become in Australia as q
source of investment. We produce
all that other countries want and
there are wonderful opportunities.
Australia is anxious to have closer
trade relations with the United
States"
Mr. Baillieu suggests that if the
United States expects to export
money, she must expect to import
goods; in other words, to be a free
trader and make use of fifty
fifty arrangement, but it may be
doubted if the Wall Street lenders
are able "to deliver the goods"
At the present time it takes three
weeks TO 20 from the United States
to Australia. Surely, the trip be-
tween the Pacific Coast and Austria
LA could be shortened. AS the trip
from South America to Australia has
been shortened from % days to 1G.
there should be a similar shortening
OF the time between the United
states and Australia.
Australia is a growing country Its
five and a half millions of people have
$4,000, coo of acres under cultiva-
tion, 26,00o miles Of highway, beauti-
full cities, and excellent schools.
Mr.. Baillieu further stated that al
though Australias population is only
three -fourths of one per cent of the
worlds inhabitants, Yet she has pro-
duced more than % per cent of the
worlds wool, nearly per cent of the
meat, nearly 10 per cent of the gold,
and nearly per cent of the silver.
The population of the United
States is 20 times as large as that Of
Australia. There are possibilities in
Australia. Where Wall Street is in
terested, other American capitalists
are interested.

DIXIE TERMINAL, NOT DIXIE
LAND"

The efficient manager of the
Dixie Terminal Building in Cincin-
natl intends "to live" and not ito die"
in Dixie. But the Dixie in Cincinnati
happens TO be the Dixie Terminal
Building which includes "multum in
parvo"; namely, the S5,000,00o office
arcade and street-car terminal struc-
turc in the business section.
Not only members of the business
and Professional Women's clubs. but
others are taking notice; for the
manager is a women. Anna Marcus
by name.
Miss Marcus has complete super
vision of the Dixie Terminal, even to
the handling of the 100000 persons
who daily pass through the terminal.
She began her career with a sewing
machine company, then for II years
she was secretary to the Board Of
Elections. At the end of that time it
was said that she knew more about
election laws and execution of those
laws than any person in Ohio.
To qualify for this position she took
night courses in accounting and COM

mercial law. Then she took 4 trip
east to study the operation of office
buildings here.
Miss Marcus gives the following
advice.
Never try to wiggle out of any
dilemma by evasion. Tell the straight
unvarnished truth at all times-and
remember that the greatest asset q
business woman can have is the faith
Of the public in her integrity"
Her remark, Il just did the best
could on every job held" shows the
right American spirit and the busi-
ness world is not sorry that she hap
pens to be among the select few to
meet with success this side of Hcav-
ems portals.
