KLAN DELEGATES
IN SESSION ON
POLITICAL ISSUES
Former Dragon Declares
Situation in Marion Coun-
ty Is DepIorabIe,

Marion County and Indiana Ku-
Tlux Klan affairs will be discussed
by Klan representatives at Cadle
Tabernacle today. The meeting was
called for ! p. m. by D. c. Stephen
son, former Indiana Klan dragon.
Stephenson is opposed tc domina-
tion of the Klan by the national or,
ganization at Atlanta, Ga, and is
strong advocate of the reelection
of Clyde A Walb as Republican
State chairman.
According to Stephenson, question
Of purchase OF Valparaiso Univer-
sity will be taken up again. The
purchase failed last year. he said,
because the national organization at
Atlanta. failed to make good prom
ises of financial support.
THE Marion County situation is
deplorable. Only heroic and imme-
diate action can save it," Stephen
son said The trouble he said is
due to arbitrary dictation from per-
sons who do not live in the county
and who want to use the organlza-
tion for selfish purposes.
Delegations are present from ev-
cry county in the State, Stephenson
said when the conference opened. He
said the number would be increased
greatly and the night session would
find Cadle Tabernacle practically
filed.

Citizens Living Where

Assessment Are Isolated,

What is the city doing to take
care of it's unimproved streets and
alleys?
Surveys in twelve different sec
tions of the city by The Indianapolis
Times have shown most Of them in
deplorable shape. Citizens living
where property values will not stand
| assessment for permanent improved
streets are practically isolated from
traffic in bad weather.
Martin J. Hyland, street commits
sioner. admitted he was handicapped
by lack Of equipment and men. A
reduced budget forced him to limit
operations, he said.
To care for 500 miles OF unim-
proved streets and the same mileage
of alleys. there are available only
about twelve trucks and graders.
Hyland's entire department, which
also maintains sewers. employed 162
men on a budget of approximately
s224.O0O in 1928.
Handicapped by Weather
I'VE have ben handicapped this
year by the weather" Hyland said
when the great number of unim-
proved streets were called to his at
tention. We had a late spring and
recent rains have made it impos-
sible to get our heavy equipment on
these streets. We have to wait for
better weather"
Hyland has no plan Of taking
care Of any one district in the city.
He said work had been going on
wherever it is needed most"
Surveys have shown every section
of the city has its share of bad
streets. Deep ruts from winter traf-
fic still remain. Waves and chuck
holes are common
The best unimproved streets ap-
peared to be in the southeast part of
the city. Some of the worst streets
are in the northwest and extreme
northeast parts Of the city.
Tarvia preparations on some of
the streets in southeast Indianapo-
lis have aided the life Of these un-
paved streets.
A 1923 State law provides that the
cost Of any street improvements
must be divided, rs per cent by the
city and 25 per cent by the property
owners. The policy of the board Of
works has been friendly toward all
petitions for permanent improve
ments.
They are confirmed by the board
after public hearing. If a majority
of residing property owners want
the improvement.
Paved Streets Kept Up
City engineers point out that with
increasing traffic only paved streets
can be kept in first class condition
constantly. A close inspection and
big force of men and trucks prove
far more costly than the first per
r:anent improvement.
But while unpaved streets remain,
the fact stands they are not being
properly maintained by the city.

LAUREL MOUNTAIN ABLAZE

Fire today has gotten beyond con-
troll of those who are fighting fire in
the Laurel Hill Range. A call for
help was given early today and sew
eral men are working with all power
to stem the fire. Backing firing has
begun, but late tonight the fire broke
over and all hope of saving the UNI
der and second growth timber is Civ
en- up, and it is just a matter of saw
ing the fences, barns and homes of
the citizens within the fire area. IL
was feared that the Laurel Hill Or
chards would be damaged but tonight
all precaution is taken and little fear
is reported Of any damage Of the
trees. State police are on the scene.
Had the lookout station, erected
some years ago by j. A. Viquesney
on Laurel Hill, been in operation,
much of this fire would have been
stopped before it had spread to such
magnitude. Reports come in that
nearly all the east side of the noun
tain is burned over.

Mr.. Coolidge apparently was sure
on Wednesday of the votes OF Califor-
mia, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois,
Indiana. Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ne
braska, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota,
Vermont, Utah. Washington and West
Virginia. These states give him to-
tai of 308 electoral votes.
Davis seems sure of Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana. Mississippi, North Caro-
lima. Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tenn
essee, Texas and Virginia, total OF
149 electoral votes.
LA TOILETTE GETS 10
Indications points to Davis carrying
Arizona with three votes and New
Mexico with three votes. which would
raise his total to 1855, while Coolidge
appears certain to win the following
states from which complete returns
are lacking:
OOloEduO o, luduO 4, mluuoSOtd Il,
Missouri IS. Montana 4, Nevada 8.
Dragon and Wyoming 3, or a total
OF 81 votes, which would bring his
total up to 1853.
The IL votes OF Wisconsin are con-
ceded to La Toilette.
The Republican sweep carried into
the Coolidge camp all the states Of
the East. north of the Mason and
Dixon line. and penetrated into the
far West, where 1t was believed La
Toilette had considerable strength.
Coolidge carried Maryland, as did
Harding in 1920, and also wrested
from John w. Davis the latter's home
state, West Virginia He carried Kan
sas by 100000, Illinois by 100000, New
York by between 100000 and /, 900 900
and Michigan by 100000
Indiana, which was believed to be
doubtful because Of the fight on the
