With the blare of trumpets and
the beat Of drums, Mayor Kendrick
and a group Of Pennsylvania pol
iticians descended upon Washing
ton and the President Of the United
States on Dec. 6, 1923.
Mayor Kendrick made one of his
eloquent and inimitable orations to
the President.
"Mr. President" he said, lex
traordinary conditions existing in
Philadelphia demand heroic treat
ment.
"Our police force has become de-
moralized. Banditry, promiscuous
sale Of poisonous liquor, and law
Iessness of all kinds are rampant.
Frankly, Mr.. President, 100000
people in Philadelphia are awaiting
anxiously and hopefully your
answer"
On Dec. 13 the answer came-one
years leave of absence, granted by
order OF the President.
OF all those who accompanied the
mayor to Washington to plead so
earnestly that I might come to their
city, not one supported me openly,
or even secretly, during the next
two years. None of them fought
me openly, but some of them did so

SPLIT between
GOVERNOR, ROAD
BODY WIDENED
Highway Commission Gusts
McCIeIIand, JaCkSon'S
Friend.

Strife between Governor Jackson
and the majority faction OF the
State highway commission reached
a climax today with the peremptry
dismissal OF Howard ID. McClelland,
chief clerk OF the roads body and
personal friend of the Governor.
Other developments included:
Report that Earl Crawford, Demo
cratic member, who was deposed by
Jackson effective April II. will
succeed McClelland. Crawford denied
the report although 1t was well
founded.
Shake Up Likely
Indications that Jackson. in an
effort to break up control OF the
road body. will demand the resigna-
ton of Chairman Charles w. Zeigler
OF Attica, because of his financial
interest in automobile timers which
have been sold to the commission.
Desperate move by friends OF
commission, admitting it's supremacy
is endangered, to retain control.
Report that Jackson, If he is able
to subdue the commimssion's faction,
will make McClelland director ito
succeed John ID. Williams.
Term Expires
Crawford's term as n member ex-
pires April II. Pleas of his friends
for reappointment We're spurned by
Jackson, who named Robert 3. Bo-
rem of Fountain City as his sue
cessor. Crawford and Williams, to-
gether with a group OF local junk
dealers and a former employe Of the
commission, are under indictment for
conspiring to embezzle unused war
material. There has been no indi-
cation of an early trial, although
the indictment is more than a year
old.
Commission advocates declare the
charges against Williams and Craw-
ford are false. Jackson's reason
for not reappointing Crawford, how
ever, is known to be based on the
charges.
Decision to GUST McClelland was
reached at a commission meeting on
Thursday.

Rise Gradual

Rivers all over Indiana are at flood
stage or near that point, and many
Of them have overfiowed their banks,
damaging farm lands. The rise was
so gradual, however, that all persons
were able to escape with personal be-
longings.
At Elliston, Greene County, on
White River, the stage was 21 feet
this morning, while flood stage is
IS feet. The water is expected to
reach "a feet here. Edwardsport,
farther down stream, reported 176
feet, 2.6 feet above flood. A mark
OF 10 feet is anticipated there. The
river at Decker, near where it
empties into the Wabash was 175
feet, just a half foot below flood 1t
Is expected to pass the flood mark
today and 50 up to 20 feet.
The Wabash continues to rise, ac-
cording to reports. Terre Haute re-
ported IS feet and Mt. Carmel far
ther south. 1871 feet Flood stage at
both these places is 16 feet.
OlNh
Though flood stage has not been
reached in indianapolis, the river is
over its banks in several places. At
Troy Ave. and Harding st. six
inches OF water covered the streets.
On the west bank the water is over
Raymond St.. but no immediate dan.
ger was anticipated. The river was
menacing cottages at Ravenswood.
For the first time in two years
the street superintendent depart
ment was forced to close gates to
about twenty-five sewers.
In northern Indiana streams were
high and the Maumee at Ft. Wayne
had forced many persons living near
the river to leave their homes.
Unsettled weather, with some pos
sibility of rain, was the forecast for
tonight and Saturday. Little change
in temperature Is expected.

This is one reason why some
cars are equipped with smaller or

gineers are right in believing THAI
many people would not obtain full

Momentum Not Used
When you speed up your car
and then apply your brakes in
order 10 slow down. momentum Is
generated which is not being used
In addition to wasting gasoline in
the transfer of power from fuel
heat to momentum one Is obliged
to waste lining through friction.
This is an illogical procedure and
one that is not in keepIr.s with the
efficiency of the day. That is why
many minds are turning to ways
and means OF utilizing this momen-
tum which, under our present traf-
fic conditions, motorists frequently
must waste.
1t is proposed, for instance. to
create electrical energy for re-
charging the storage battery by
driving the generator from the
propelle- shaft, it being geared to
the shaft only when the brakes are
applied. The generator of the
modern automobile does its share in

American car owners are spend

Conserving Fuel
Those who are looking to the
future see that momentum, me-

sources. and that when we talk
about conserving momentum we
mean conserving, in the case OF
the automobile, fuel oil.
In the final analysis, the mo-
mentum wasted by carelessness in
driving cars, complication in trnf-
fic regulation and lack of considera-
fion for momentum in engineering
could be appropriated by operating
all automobiles with holes in the
gas tank.

reducing the amount of gas to the

more power at less expense.
Whether the fIywheel of an auto
mobile can be made to step up the

is reminded that all power, like
all matter, is merely subject to
change of form. being neither
created nor destroyed. But it is
not necessary for the motorist, nor
the automotive engineer, to raise
this point.
It is evident that for any engine
to start a flywheel going and keep
it in motion, power must be sacri-

ertia, or it's tendency to remain at
rest. When some persons drive
cars they fail to balance these fac

Before the armistice was signed

"But when 1000 900 boys came

an immediate increase in the sale
of roadaters and good looking open
