CITY REPUBLICANS
AGAIN ARE ALLIED
TO FIGHT COFFIN
Armitage, Himself, Takes
SuIky Shank Forces
Back IT'S Said.

Once again the Shank-Armitage
and Jewett-Lemcke factions of the
Republican party have kissed and
made up. Once again the lines are
holding tight against the onslaught
of the Coffin-Dodson faction. Once
again they are pulling together for
Ralph A. Lemcke for the Repub-
lican mayoralty nomination.
But this was not the case only
few days ago. Old-time enmity
had broken out, according to
dope" in Republican, circles, and
the widely heralded alliance between
the ancient enemies was faring up
with its traditional fierceness.
According to the stories, the
Shank-Armitage supporters became
enraged when they discovered that
although Mayor Shank came to bat
bravely for Lemcke and shook up
his entire police force to make 1t
right in Lemcke interests, the
Lemcke organization was ignoring
it's allies completely in. its campaign
plans. Whereupon the Shank-Armi-
tage hattalions quietly withdrew
from the field and sulked in their
stronghold in the city hall, so the
story goes.
Then there came pleas for con.
ference. and no less a one than VIII.
liam Fl. Armitage, himself, in per-
son, conducted the negotiations with
the Lemcke leaders, so It's said. AS
result oil was poured upon the
troubles waters. the Shank -Armitage
shock troops again took the field
In the Lemcke-for- Mayor campaign,
and all is lovely once more-for the
time being at least.

STATE FIGHT TO
HOLD SHEPHERD
Grove viii Close Argument
to Prevent Releasing
Prisoner on Bond,

bD CrVed ffeSs
CHICAGO, March 25.-All evil
dence presented thus far tends to
show William d. Shepherd guilty Of
the charge of numbering his ward,
Billy McClintock. Thomas Marshall.
assistant States attorney, declared
today in the fight to deny Shepherd
freedom on bond.
THE defense has failed to pro-
duce a single witness TO offer proof
of Innocence" Marshall told Judge
Jacob Hopkins. THE only witnesses
the defense placed on the stand
lack of knowledge of a plot Not
a single witness gave evidence in
support of the defense claim Of in
sufficient evidence"
Marshall cited numerous cases to
support the States contention that
Shepherd is not admissible to bail.
The dingy courtroom was jammed
with scores OF men and women, at
tracted by the bitter fight to give
Shepherd freedom pending start of
the trial. Shepherd feels heartened
by the Unexpectedly long drawn out
preliminary court battle and said he
was confident of winning the fight
for bail.
Shepherds attorney. William
Scott Stewart, consumed most OF
yesterdays session with brilliant
argument. claiming that his client
should be allowed freedom on bond
because, ''the proof OF Shepherds
guilt is not evident and the pre-.
sumption Of his guilt is not great"
Stewart cited other cases similar
to Shepherds as precedent. He
pointed to cases in which persons
confessed" themselves to be ac.
completes in murders and other
crimes when II was later proved
they had no connection with them.
1t is fStewart's contention that DIR.
Charles c. Faiman's confession
that he gave Shepherd the typhoid
germs with which to murder young
McClintock is not sufficient ground
to hold Shepherd in custody.

In accordance with programs Of

ing carried out or will be initiated
within a short time to make all
parts of indianapolis easily acces-
sible to each other, Cost of the
work probably will be not far from
81, 900 900.
Several street improvements now
are under way which. when COM
pleted. will help solve the traffic
congestion problem on certain
streets and greatly aid in handling
through traffic with the greatest
speed.
Broad Ripple, only seven miles
from the Monument and yet diff
dicult to reach on a paved street,
will have number of new avenues
Of access open within short time.
Central Cost 100000
Work is we'll under way on the
extension OF pavement on Central
Ave. to the Westfield road. The
cost will be about 100000. In addi-
ton the board of works recently
adopted a resolution for paving Col
lege Ave. from near Fifty-seventh
ST., where the pavement now ends,
into Broad Ripple When this work
is completed. and the board hopes
to have it done before fall, Broad
Ripple will In fact an integral part
of Indianapolis. This job will cost
about $130,000.
The completion of the new bridge
over Fall Creek at Delaware st. al
ready has helped solve the traffic
problem in. that section OF the city.
Removal of parkways in the street
between Nineteenth and Twenty
Second and Twenty-Ninth st. and
making good approaches to the
bridge will make Delaware st. real
main artery of north and south traf-
fic. All this will cost approximately
$140, 900.
The long cherished dream of the
board of works and of citizens Of
the east end of Indianapolis to
straighten and widen New York St.
all the way to Irvington seems well
on the way to realization. Hearing
on the plan will be held by the board
early next month.
Track Elevation Progresses
Track elevation plans for the en-
tire length of the Belt Railway,
will take years to carry out, but
every step will result In making
sections in various parts of the
south and west portions of town
easier of access.
The board Of works recently took
determined stand on the opening
of streets, notably Oriental and

track elevations will not be per-
mitted to close streets now open.
Tentative plans for widening Me.
ridian St. to fifty-foot roadway
from st. Clair to Sixteenth SITS, are
being considered by the board
Eventually, Meridian st. will be
widened to a uniform width from

the future.
An important Improvement west
of White River is that OF Warman

work will cost about $4,000 and
