THIEVES GET
$4,000 LOOT;
$1,15OINCASH
Entrance Secured by
Going Over Roof
of Em-ROes.
CHISEL INTO SAFE
High Grade RevOlyers,
Ammunition and
Coats Gone.

Loot amounting to about $500, includ.
store Of the Elm Roe Sporting Goods Com
pany, 219-221 West Washington street, by
burglars who entered the store through
a skyIight on the roof Sunday night or
early today.
The burglars picked out about $1,000
worth of high grade automatic reyolvers,
$500 worth of ammunition. five pairs of
field glasses and q number of shotguns.
They seemed TO confne their selection to
goods of the highest grade.
The cash was obtained from a small
safe in the office. The safe had been
turned upside down, the bottom cut out
and eight inches or more of concrete In
the base chiseled away.
FORCE HEAVY
WIRE NETTING.
The burglars entered the building, &C.
from the alley or Pearl street 10 the roof
over the office in the rear of the build
ing. They broke the skyItght and forced
heavy steel wire netting.
In addition to the list Of articles
enumerated above the burglars helped
themselves to two heavy sweater coats of
the best quality and from the way
sweater coats were scattered about, the
bandits apparently took some time in
picking out those which suited them.
Such things as war savings stamps and
postage stamps did not interest the in
truders. These articles were found scat
tered over the floor about the safe. A
larger safe in the basement was ran
sacked, but it contained nothing of value.
CHOOSE TOOLS
FROM STOCK.
The burglars were not in the least
particular in their selection of tools, for
a shotgun, one Of the most expensive in
the house, had been used in opening the
safe and the barrel was broken off near
the stock.
A hand satchel containing thirteen re-
voivers was found on the roof by Motor
policemen Mcclure and LOuden when they
were Investigating the robbery. The
handle Of the satchel was broken and
apparently the thieves had cast the bag
aside on this account
Waller Roeder. vice president OF the
company, was In the store at l o'clock
Sunday afternoon and at that me every
thing was in order.
This is the eighth time the EN- Roe
Sporting Goods Company has been
robbed, tho last time being about two
years ago. The company carried insur
ance on its cash, but none on the mcr-
chandise.

thumbs down for hundreds of candidates
and triumphs for others.
Indiana has passed through another
primary campaign with the usual shout
ing, the usual charges and counter
charges, the usual fIattery Of the voters
and the usual bunk. In these respects
1t has not been different from any other
primary contest.
Interest throughout the campaign has
centered, and still centers, on the Re
publican senatorial primary race. it has
been a contest that will be talked about,
wherever those who endeavor to extract
votes from an unsuspecting public shaE
gather, for many moons.
STANDPAT KS.

The contest between Senator Harry S.
New and former Senator Albert J.
Beveridge for the Republican senatorial
nomination has been a contest between
the standpat element OF the party and
the less conservative progressives. A

victory for the Administration. A victory

SLATEMAKERS
WORK OVERTIME
MAKING LISTS
Confusion Results From Maze
of Endorsed Seekers at
Primary.

Activities Of the political slate makers
In the Republican party today compared
in intensity with that of b0Okmakers be-
fore a derby. Politicians who tried to
figure out how many lists of endorsed"
candidates were put out by all the diff
ferent combinations. organizations and
associations seeking personal advantage
in Tuesdays primary election gave up
the job. Never before has the ''slate"
trick been resorted to so generally
politicians say.
The poor voter who goes to the polls
Tuesday morning without a list of the
men who he wants to vote for In his
pocket is likely TO find himself most
bewildered citizen. Workers for all the
contending combinations, organizations
and associations. if predictions are true
will be lined around the voting places
three deep. Into the hands Of waiting
voters will be thrust such at least a
half dozen and possible a dozen yellow
green, red, white, blue, and nobody
knows how many other colored slips each
exhorting the voter to mark a cross after
the name of the men therein.
Politicians were chiefly interested in
the states which the Marion County Re-
publican League and the Jewett Ltmcke,
ute. Candidates for Republican nomina-
tions prayed they would get on both Of
them. Leaders in the factions prayed
they had not slated the wrong men. No
body seemed to know whether they had.
As was predicted the Marion County
Republican League slate, printed on yell
low paper, came out with the names Of
both Albert j. Beverdge and Harry S.
New upon it. The league is seeking to
gain control Of the Republican county or
gsnization for Mayor Shank and his
chieftains by the election OF precinct
committeeman Tuesday. The Jewett-
Lemcke, Coffin Dodson crowd hopes to
elect their own set of committeeman
thereby depnving the city hall of hold
on the county organization and affording
politicians dumped out Of power in the
municipal elections last year, a chance to
come back.

REAL FIGHT

Back Of Senatorial

MUCH BITTERNESS
Created by Attempt to
Revive Old Ma
chimes.

While Indiana Republicans are going
about the business Of selecting party
nominees tomorrow, underneath the sur
face is being waGed a fight that out dis
tances the now historic contest between
Senator Harry s. New and former Sen
ator Albert J. Beveridge. 1t is a battle
for control Of the Republican organization
and In many sections, notably in Indian
apolis. it is more bitter and attracts moro
attention than the senatorial tilt.
In The background and seemingly un-
interested in the affair Is Senator James
z. Watson who has not 50 much as lifted
his finger in behalf Of his colleague, but
there IS ample evidence that he is very
much interested in the make up Of the
next Republican State organization. And
It is the very intensity OF the dght to con-
troll the organization that may prove a
serious handicap to Senator New.
WATSON LEADERS
SLATE BEVERIDGE.
It is reported from many sections Of
the Safe that Republicans who arc anx-
i0us to see n strong Watson complexion
given to the next State committee. are
not refraining from stating Mr. Beye-
ridge when, by 50 doing, they are as
sured support OF their organization plan.

that instead Of one foe. Senator New will
have to face the combined forces Of Beye-
ridge and Watson.
Senator Watson for years has cher
ished al ambition to control his party )
machinery I'm this State and the fact that
tw0 years ago he came within hair s
breadth OF doing so and failed because
Senator New maintained 4 handsod pol
Icy, has only accentuated his desires.
Watson, IN his attempt TO land control
OF the organization IN the last primary,
obtained powerful aid from Governor
McCray. then a candidate for tho Repub-
lean nomination for Governor.

taxable. Senator New, warm personal
and political friend Of President Harding,
who has unswervingly supported all the
acts and policies Of the administration,
is making his race on that Issue. His re-
nomination would be a sweeping endorse
ment of the administration; his defeat
a crushing reputation of Mr.. Harding's
course.
Reports from Indiana have been closely
watched by leaders Of both parties. These
reports give Senator New all the best of
