INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. April 15.-
The chief activity in the republi-
can senatorship contest in Indiana
this week was the campaign tour
Of Albert J. Bevertdge and Judge
Arthur Robinson Of Indianapolis and
a speech made by Robert L. Moor
head Of Indianapolis. Senator Harry
8. New, who is seeking denomination
in his contest with Mr., Beveridge. has
not entered the speaking campaign,
but. 1t is said. he will make several
speeches before the primary. May 2.
Mr.. Moorhead's speech attracted
much attention. He said that about
80 per cent of the ex-service men are
republicans. and that of this number
ABOUT 30 per cent are for Mr.. Bever-
idge. Then he added:
There are q certain number 1
promptly concede to Senator New,
They are the professional ex-service
men, the able-bodied 'moochers,' who
talk loud and won't work.
Mr.. Moorhead's speech was an
swered by a statement from the sec
retary Of the Ex-Service Mems New
for-Senator Club, who at the same
hundred names of members. who. he
said. were for New. This was fol.
lowed by a statement by DIR. Ed
mund D. Clark. president Of the New
for-Senator Club in Indianapolis. who
named several prominent former SOL
diers who, he said. ars for New. and
he inquired whether Mr.. Beveridge in
dorsed the sentiments spoken by Mr.
Moorhead.

DR.. Clark was a lieutenant colonel
in the A. e. F. and Mr.. Mcorhead was

New.
Judge Robinson of Indianapolis,
speaking for Mr.. Beveridge, said /:
The same bunch Of whispering ma
chinists' that are knitting Mr.. Bever-
Watson in the same manner"
Judge Robinson's remark was taken
a. a bid for support of Beveridge
from Senator Watson's friends. It
Is said, however. that Senator Wat
son Is taking no part in the New
Beveridge contest. and that Gov. Nc
Cray. who has always been politically
friendly with Watson. is confining his
activities to the state chairmanship
contest. his friends giving what sup
port they can to Lawrence Lyons,
who is opposing Ed Wasmuth. the
present chairman. There has been
much activity In the chairmanship
contest in the last week. and many
politicians have visited the state
house.
Democrats Are Inactive.
Mr.. Beveridge In his speeches this
week has devoted much attention to
the farmers. telling how the farmers
are suffering more financially than
other classes, and saying that while
he Is against all blocs, he thinks there
has been more excuse for the farm
ers' bloc" than for several other blocs
that have existed since the time Of
the civil war.
Little campaigning has been done
by the democrats up to this time.
Daniel W. Simms, candidate for
United States senator, has made two
or three speeches. Democrats held a

Luxury Surrounding Grandees of

The luxury displayed at the present

Simon, can boast of being the owner
of many pieces of furniture made of
silver left to him by his father
In order to weigh and make the in
ventory of the silver and gold table
sets which were left, it was necessary
to devote two hours per day for a
period of six weeks. There were 400
dozens of dinner plates, 500 large plat
tiers and 700 smaller ones, all else be-
ing in proportion to this magniticence
Among other relics he has 40 silver
step-ladders which were used to as
cend to the tops of the cupboards
which held these treasures.
The duke of Alba, who says that
his father was not the richest, had
left him 600 dozens of dinner plates
and 800 platters made of wrought
silver.
