The exhibition at the Wcyhe gallery
of woodcuts by Felix Nallotton intro
ducos here at full length a figure in
the French graphic arts that always has
been interesting in occasional fittings
across the horizon. He is hardly i'm
portant, but he is amusing. Ills
method consists in the bold opposition
of blacks and whites. The resultant
contrasts arc almost startling. 1t is a
little difficult to characterize his style
There is too much in it Of the sophisti-
cation Of Montmartre for ono to call it
naive. Yet there is a certain artlcss-
ness about Nallotton's simplicity. Per
haps it is traccable to the nature Of
his craftsmanship, which is as seem
ingly unstudied as that Of the old fas h
iorcd broadside His subjects are
varied. There are portraits on the
walls, illustrations of musical types,
fragments Of Parisian life and bits of
satire. A curious vitality runs through
them all. He has the Montmartre gift
FOR making trifles diverting giving
them more or less serious artistic
accent. The little collection of fifty
odd blocks is we'll worth seeing.

STATE INSTITUTIONS
ADD 1000 INMATES
DURING PAST YEAR
fRv Associated P.?essl

INDIANAPOLIS April 24-An in
crease of 1000 inmates in the 20 state
charitable and correctional institu-
tons within year was interpreted by
a. report issued today by the board of
state charities as indicating Ere
turn to a pre-war basis in population"
There were 1880 inmates of the in
situations at the close of 1921.
The only explanation made for the
increase made by the report was that
it was largely due to the change in
population of the penal and correction
al institutions, which reached a low
point in 1920"
The report showed the number of
prisoners declined by more than 1000
or more for 1918, 1919 and 1920, while
the average drop was slightly more
than 400 for these years at the benev-
client and educational institutions. The
close of 1921 saw 500 more prisoners
than the year before, while the in
crease of inmates of other institutions
was approximately 250.
Despite the increased population of
the institutions, the board reported n
decline of approximately 10 per cent
in the maintenance cost, which was re,
garded as largely due to the general
drop in commodity prices. On a per
capita basis the cost totaled S84.45 for
the last three months of the year, a
drop of $3.50 over the same period
of 1920, when the total cost was
81, 1874, 106, as compared with $1,077, 273
for the 1921 quarter. Increase of in
mates was shown at all institutions,
except the Soldiers Home at Lafay-
cite and the School for Feeble-Minded
Youth at FIT Wayne.
The boards report on the three
month period. with comparisons to pre-
vious years, included this table as to
the number of inmates:

nevolent and correctional institutions.

RICHMOND, Ind, April 24.-State
Senator Walter McConaha of Wayne
county, candidate for the Republican
nomination for congress, is finishing
his campaign confident of success.
With an acknowledged majority in
this, his home county assured, Senator
McConaha and his aides are devoting
themselves to a final roundup of the
party voters in the other seven coun-
ties of the district. They announce
plans for an extensive drive for votes
during the remaining period before

nit. He is supplementing this effort
with frank statements to the voters,
through the press of the district, Of
fering substantial reasons why he
should be named to carry the party's
banner in the fall campaign.
Senator McConaha is running on

Senate in 1914 and has served for
eight years, being unopposed for re-
election after his first term, signal
honor and one that reflected the Re-
publican estimate of the value of his
services, in Wayne county During
the sessions of 1917 and 1919 Senator
McConaha was chairman of the Fin
ance committee of the upper house,
ard in this capacity had an influential
voice in determining appropriations

Senator McConaha1 has been active
and prominent in business affairs in
Wayne county and Richmond for more
than forty years. The nature of this
business-the sale of farming imple-
ments-has kept him in intimate touch
with the farmers and producers of the
county and district. More than thirty

stances the condition of victims of
such diseases is not serious enough
now to warrant the granting of sub
stantial compensation, but as a rule
their ailments become more aggra-
waited. Any veteran so disabled who is
only receiving a small compensation
now, or none at ALL is assured of pro-
gressive government relief in the

Monthly Pension Pay
Representative Richard N. Elliott of
Indiana, is greatly pleased with the
action of the senate in passing the bill
for payment of pensions to veterans
and widows of veterans of all wars,
except the World war, each month in
stead of every quarter. He took an
active part in securing the passage of
this bill in the house several weeks
ago.
This measure involves no appre-
ciable additional expense to the gov
eminent and will be of great benefit
to the large majority of pensioners,
said Mr.. Elliott. at has worked a
real hardship to many pensioners in
the sixth district to receive pension
payments only four times each year
The cases / refer to are the ones who

MARY GARDEN QUITS
AS OPERA DIRECTOR;
TO STAY AS ARTIST
nv Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, April 24.-Mary Garden,
director of the Chicago Grand Opera
company, resigned the position in a
statement made last night. Her fol-
lowers drew from it, however, the idea
that she would continue with the or
ganiZation as a singer.
Though Miss Garden announced
nothing definite concerning her steps
in the immediate future, it was expect
ed that she would leave for New York
today, ostensibly for conference with
her concert manager Charles Wagner,
who is reported to have offered her
$250,000 for tour next season. Later
she may go to Europe for a sojourn.
Miss Gardens withdrawal from the
leadership of this city's opera was
quite as dramatic as her entry. She
spoke spiritedly of Americanism and
American ideals in opera, maintaining
that her "fightin blood" urged her TO
stay but her reason babe her go.
She addressed a statement to Chi
cago which led opera goers to believe
she would remain with the company
as an artist.
Turmoil Marked Reign
Miss Gardens tenure of office was
marked with considerable turmoil. II
began January Is last, after Gino Mar
inuZZi had resigned as artistic director
At the suggestion of Harold F. McCor.
mick the position was offered to Miss
Garden.
During the year Miss Garden has
been director the organizations losses
have been placed at almost $1,000,000
the largest in its history. This, as in
the case of previous deficits, was
borne by Mr.. and Mrs. Harold F. Nc
Cormick. The largest previous deficit
was said to have been $375,000.
In explaining this years deficits
Miss Garden said it was due to the
fact that Mr.. Mccormick had tote
her to make his last year as hacker Of
the Company a gala season.
Miss Garden received no salary a:
director, her only compensation beins
the fee she received as an artist
which was placed at about $4,000 {

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, April PAT
believe Captain New is fairly entitled

of Gavin l.. Payne and company, in a
letter of Endorsement of the purposes
of the ex-Service Voters league, writ
ten to Byron G. Young, president of
the league.
The letter praised the war record
of Senator New, who is candidate
for the Republican denomination, and
who is one of the number of former
service candidates Endorsed by the
league. 1t likewise commended Sid
ney s. Miller, who is candidate for
the Republican nomination for judge

Minturn, candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for judge of the ju-
venile court. and Theodore E. Taylor,
a candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for sheriff, who are on the
leagues ticket.
II believe it eminently proper and
commendable," Mr.. Payne said, "for
the soldiers of the world war to pro-
mote the fortunes and candidacy of
their comrades in politics through the
organization of the ex-Service Voters
league. There is ever tendency to
hurrah in the abstract and do little for

rushed to the defense of these same
people in perilous times? The machine

LAKE WALES, Fla. April "a
Fourteen acres of land at the peak OF
the hill near here known as Iron
Mountain the highest point in Flor1-

Box, of Philadelphia, for many years
editor of the Ladies Home journal,
with the intention of establishing on
the site park and bird sanctuary.
Mr.. Box, it is said, has told friends
he expects to give w. H. Olmstead,

and identifying the property.
Iron Mountain, included in the
Mountain Lakes corporation, is 324.9
