NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Senator Curtis of Kansas De.
sires to Head the Repub-
lican Ticket.
BY EDWARD w. PicKARD

WE NOW have one openly avowed
w candidate for the Republican
Presidential nomination. Charles Cur
tis, United States senator from Kan
sas, has informed his friends in that
state-and the public at large-that
he will be pleased to be the candidate
Of the Kansas delegation, and with
the announcement comes evidence
that he is going after the nomination
In dead earnest. He believes that he
adequately represents the interests
Of the great West and that as con-
sentative who, nevertheless, is liberal
on many issues, he will be acceptable
to the rest of the country.
Senator Curtis came to his de-
cision after President Coolidge had
scOlded Senator Fess for the latter's
insistence on a third term for the
present incumbent. This incident con-
vfnced the Kansas senator that Mr..
Coolidge really would not consent to
be drafted and therefore he sent to
his boomers letter in which he said:
Having served In the house and
senate for more than 35 years. know
the great responsibility Of the Presi-
dency and the arduous duties of the
Office. Nevertheless, if my friends of
Kansas desire to send delegation to
the next Republican national conven-
ton favorable to my nomination, l
shall be greatly pleased to be their
candidate. However, I will not con-
sent to become candidate if the del
egation is to be selected with view
of voting for me for few ballots as
q 'favorite son. AS I stated when
the question was first to be put to me,
I will not allow myself to be used as
a stalking horse for anyone"
Already there are Curtis for Pres
ident clubs in every county in Kansas,
and the movement in his favor has
many followers in Missouri and Okla
homa. He will have the solid Kansas
delegation back of him, and in Wash
ington it is considered that even if he
does not get first place on the ticket
he will be in position to do effective
trading that may get him the vice
presidential nomination.
Growth of the Norris boom, which
Is fostered by the radical Republicans
and supported by Senator Borah, is
admittedly hurting Lowden's pros
poets in the West. g.

No One to Dispense Justice;

Give us justice-that is, justice
of the peace-was the plea Of Asa
II. Boulden, Beech Grove town at
torney, to Deputy Prosecutor Will
liam H. Sheaffer, yesterday.
Beech Grove, with its $500 popu-
lation, needs a justice of the peace
on the job, not serving a sixty-day
sentence on the State Farm, Boul-
den declared.
Harry w. Ringenberger, sentenced
to the farm on a lazy husband
charge, also was poor justice dis
penser, Boulden charged. Ringen-
berger, he said, unlawfully had
taken $40 Of the towns money.
Boulden asked that Ringenberger
be impeached by the grand jury and
removed from Office, so the town
may choose another justice. The
town board has urged this action to
oust Ringenberger.
According to Boulden, the stat
utes provide that arrests for viola
ton of ordinances of an incorpor-
ated town can be prosecuted only
before q justice, resident in the
town. This week he said. the town
marshal was forced to come to the
Indianapolis police station to place
charges against a pair of chicken
thieves.
Sheaffer promised action next
week. The grand jury is too busy
this week, he said.

RA United Press
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Just when
everyone thought the Darlington
case disposed of, with Colonel Ed
ward and his wife divorced and
brother Campbell, one time CORE
spondent, safely married to his
former sister-in-law, Col. Edward G.

He said an investigation sponsored

trace of the reported marriage of
Campbell Darlington to Mrs. Anna
Walsh Darlington.
The Colonel notified the press that
no record of a marriage license

held at the Ritz Carlton and the
State Department had issued no
passports to the Campbell Caring

Peasant Tasks Are Found
to Keep State Insane
From DeIuSiOnS.

Satan finds mischief for idle
hands to do. The building and
furnishing of the above house kept
many hands out of his majesty's
reach over a long period of time
ut at the Central Indiana Hospital
for the Insane. Busy hands mean
busy brains, and busy brains mean
sanity, according to those who are
in charge of the work.
"The mentally sick respond more
readily to normal activities than
they do to mere custodial care, "
said Miss Bess E. Sutton, director.
"Occupational therapy keeps their
minds off of their delusions."
The patients who filed into the
light, airy and well-equipped work
room of the hospital, looked happy
and contented, and eager to resume
their work on baskets, rugs, scarves
and other articles.
They make all of the broomS and
scrubbing brushes used by the in
stitution. Articles which cannot be
used are sold, and the proceeds are
spent to provide entertainment for
the patients.
Eight patients from this depart
ment have gone home cured since
the first of october, and hospital
authorities attribute large part OF
their cure to the fact that they have
been kept busy.
"Occupational therapy is medi-
cal problem" said DR.. Max A. Bahr,
superintendent. 1.-THE occupation Sc
lected is within the patients esti-
mated interest and capabilities, and
as each patients capability in
creases, the type and extent OF the
occupation is regulated and graded
accordingly.
"Thus, excited cases are given
sedative occupations; depressed
cases are given stimulating occupa-
tions; and demented cases are given
occupations which trains mental
and motor habits, bringing them in
contact with reality and combating
the tendency to seclusiveness. In
general all cases are given occupa-
tions which tend to overcome their
special handicap"

STATE RIGHT STAND HIT
KIuxer Chief Refuses to Say
What Candidate Will
Get Support.
BY LEO r. SACK

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The Ku
Klux Klan will oppose the nomina-
ton of Senator James A Reed of
Missouri or Governor Albert C..
Ritchie of Maryland, as the Demo-
cratic candidate for president, DR..
Hiram w. Evans, Imperial Wizard,
disclosed today.
The Klan now is conducting a Wig
orous campaign against Governor
Al Smith of New York, because he
is Catholic and because he is rep
resented as faVoring modification Of
the Volstead law.
Reed and Ritchie, however, are
Protestants, but the Klan objects
to them, Evans indicates, because
they are regarded as modification
lists.
Evans, in a statement today fol-
lowing, he says, a visit to forty
States, does not say who will be
the beneficiary of the Ku KIux Klan
favor. He declares he found the
people "more interested in the alb
stract principles than in individ-
uals"
mo individual either is being ad-
vanced or opposed for political pref
erment except as such men repre-
sent certain principles in which the
people are vitally interested, or is
opposed to such principles"
Governor Smith, he said, rep
resented the principle Of nulliflca-
ton of the Constitution-for the
purpose of bringing back intoxicat-
ing liquor for the benefit Of the
few"
Turning to Reed and Ritchie,
Evans says: "Of lesser stature and
hiding under Smiths coat-tails-
backed by the same ideals and in
huences-are Senator Jim Reed and
Governor Albert Ritchie.
Each has a wet plank which he
thinks is large enough to float him
into the nomination. They will
launch their little RATS as soon as
the big boy has come and gone.
"Ritchie represents and presents
to the American people the time
worn and fallacious doctrine-in-
credibly stupid-the right Of the
State to violate law. This plea for
the States right to nullify the Con-
Stitution is like the erring boy plead

3 SITES FOR

Task of Choosing Tract
for City Structure.
DROP TWO LOCATIONS
One Considered Too Small,
Price of Other Rated
Too High.

Appraisal Of the three proposed
municipal coliseum sites by Indian
apolis Real Estate Board appraisers
was asked today by the coliseum
board.
List of sites was narrowed to three
Tuesday by the board when it was
voted to drop the locations bounded
by Pratt, st. Clair, Pennsylvania and
Delaware SITS. and Ohio, New York,
Capitol and Senate.
L. H. Lewis, real estate board
president, offered the advice of the
realtors on the relative values of the
sites if it is decided 70 rent part OF
the structure for business shops.
j. Edward Krause, coliseum board
president, requested that the board
make the appraisals free of charge
before Nov. /, the next meeting.
May Lower Cost :
Lewis said he would carry the re-
quest to the appraisal board. 1t was
the belief of the coliseum board
members that appraisal of the prop
critics by the experts would tend to
lower the estimated cost. Members
indicated they will endeavor to hold
the cost for a lubbock location to
about $1,000,000.
Remaining sites under considera-
ton are:
Alabama, New Jersey, Ohio and
Market ST., submitted by Meyer
Kiser Realty Company.
Vermont, New York, Alabama and
New Jersey, by j. S. Cruise Co.
Pennsylvania, Delaware, North
and Walnut Sts., by Fred H. Sillery
Tract Too Small
Ground bounded by Pratt, st.
Clair, Pennsylvania and Delaware
Sts., covered by an option submitted
by H. G. Smith, was considered too
small, as it is not full-size block,
it was said.
The location north Of the State
house was dropped because it was
estimated it could not be purchased
under about 100000.
I'VE want to get the most appro-
pirate site for the money" declared
Krause.
KrauSe pointed out the board had
no fund from which to pay current
expenses and that the $4,000 re-
quested had been slashed from the
1923 budget.

arts committee will give the board
an opinion on the esthetic points OF

would have a bearing on financing
