START MOVE
TO PREVENT
SENATE QUIZ
Regulars Oppose Political
Probe at Republican
Caucus.

Faithful friends of the Republican
State organization sought to block
the threatened investigation of In
diana's alleged corrupt political af-
fairs at a caucus of Republican
Senators Tuesday at the Columbia
Club.
The movement was led by Senator
Fred M. Dickerman, Indianapolis,
considered a candidate for Indian
apolis postmaster and cog in the
machine, led by Senator Arthur r.
Robinson and George V. Coffin, Re-
publican political boss.
Assisting was Senator Benjamin
r. Inman Of Danville, who admitted
that he had conferred recently with
Governor Jackson.
Although the meeting was de-
signed only for legislators, Harry
Fenton, G. o. P. State central COM
mittee secretary. and Schuyler c.
Haas, Coffin faction Seventh district
committeeman, were attentive listen
ers. Lieutenant Governor F. Har-
old Van Orman presided.
3 No Time for Quiz
Look out for hang overs" Dicker-
man advised. "You will be beset
with calls for investigations of all
kinds. We have had Investigations
until we are sick of them-in fact
the subject Of investigations has
been exhausted by the Marion
County grand jury. We will have
no time to waste on these probes.
Let us not start missing over
muck"
Senator Inman, who refused to
support the probe undertaken by
Thomas H. Adams, fellow Repub-
lican newspaper publisher, scored
the proposed investigation.
ANY movement to establishe a
probe committee in the Legislature
will be ridiculous" Inman said.
That's what the courts are for.
hope we will hear no sensational
speeches on the necessity for
probes"
However, other Senators were not
so firm in support of the State
officials.
Public service commission mem
bers bore the brunt of wrath Of Sen
ators Perry johnson of Atlanta and
William f. Hodges of Gary.
The State machines drive to OBJ
tain repeal of the primary came to
grief when a number of Senators
took the floor in defense Of the sys-
tenn.
Warns Commission
Adjustment Of the public service
commission unless it changes it's
ways was predicted by the two leg
islators.
THE public service commission Is
not acting in the way the law in
tended 1t should act" Johnson said.
''It is now working for the benefit
of the utilities, but L understand
bill will be introduced that will fix
that"
Hodges warned the public service
commissioners that the law under
which they hold their offices will be
repealed unless they adopt an atti-
tude more favorable to the pub1ic's
interest.
Dickerman and Johnson were the
only Senators who actively advocated
drastic modification of the primary
during the session.
Senators who praised the primary
system were John S. Alldredge, An
derson; William T. Quillin, Indian
apolis Oliver Kline, Huntington; Will
Brown, Hebron. John c. Sherwood,
Mitchell, and Roscoe Martin. Logans-

position here to accept Americaniza-
ton work in the Department of Edu-
cation of the City Of Saint Paul and
will leave September 18th to take up

Following the resignation Of Miss

Jack Miller Buys
Model Meat Market

The Nels Christensen Meat Market,
known as the Model Meat Market,
was sold last Wednesday, one of it's
two purchasers being Jack Miller,
formerly associated with the Scenic
City Market here. Mr.. Miller's part
ner in the purchase is A. H. Haugen
of Saint James who will also move
here and take an active part in the
management of the shop. The shop,
which formed a part of the Nels
Christensen estate, was sold at pub
lie sale under the direction of the ad-
ministrator H. M. Aune. There were
three bids submitted, Mr.. Haugen's
for S14,100 being the highest. The
sale includes both the building which
is comparatively new and the equip
ment which is exceptionally modern
and complete for a shop in small
city. The new owners expect to take
possession the first of the month and
will bring their families here at that
time. Mr.. Miller has been resident
of Saint James for the past several
years and has been engaged in the
meat business there.

Rex Dresses A
Window CleUerly

The school season with it's demand
for school supplies. coupled with the
supplies themselves, are combined ir
a very clever window arranged by
Rex Miller for the Sward-Kemp Drug
Store. The motif of the display is
found in the "little old red school
house, now almost extinct in real
life. The clever cardboard school
house, however is the surrounded by
grounds in which Mr.. Miller let his
have full sway. Play
ground equipment with peRcils as the
chief material in its con5tructt& is
complete with trapeze, bars, swings
and all; even the tiny swing seats
of miniature erasers are suggestive
of the "dear old golden rule days. >
The carefully graveled road in front
of School District No. shows the in
evitable Ford, but much more inter-
esting is the truck constructed of the
ever useful pencil and with wheels
built of the circular erasers such as
stenographers toss about when ang-
cred. Rulers and thumb tacks COM
bine to make most intriguing teeters
on the playground and full-fledged
football field is one of the most at
tractive spots. Taken all in all it
is an extremely interesting window
and speaks we'll for Mr.. Miller's in
geniousness as we'll as for his artistic
workmanship.
