COSS|PS HEAR
HOW ELDER GOT
ASSESSOR JOB
Word Given by Man Who
Divides County and City
Honors, Say Politicians.

With a forceful rebound, the
so-called authentic story of the re-
cent appointmentof James w. Elder,
as county assessor is making the
rounds in political circles.
The man who holds more official
positions than any other and who
divides the honor between the city
and the county gave the word, ac-
cording to latest data.
That man is Frank Cones, a $40
a year member of the county council
and a $4,000 a year member of the
board of works.
According to the story, this is what
happened: commissioners Cassius
Hogle and Charles o. Sutton, were
locked over an appointee. A few
days later Otis Dodson, Fred Con-
nell and Cones had lunch together.
Then Came Surprise
Within the next forty-eight hours,
without warning. but with plenty OF
surprise, Elder got the job.
The result: Dodson had Streng-
thcned his hold. He had kept Cones
in the fold when Cones began TO feel
uneasy, especially since the council
sided against him recently on the
White River flood prevention work
that he had decided as member of
the works board.
Among candidates for the as
SCISSORS office was Charles Mann,
deputy sheriff, but. more important,
Republican chairman in Perry
Township. The commissioners
promised him the place if he would
break with George v. Coffln,N county
Republican leader. He refused to
do so. He was eliminated
And william Rossner
Then came possibility of putting
william Rossner, deputy for fifteen
years, in the place. He didn't fit
in, politically. He was out.
81 needed two votes and didn't
get any," he remarks now.
James Allison, candidate for the
Office in the last election, was con-
sidered one of the strongest con-
tenders. He was backed by the
Red Star League, Robert Moneys
group.
But courthouse political wiseacres
declare all thoughts of primary
needs in the future vanished in
order that "Dodson might hold his
own"

JUDGE uPHOLDS
ORDER CLOSING

In order to prevent an epidemic
Of disease in Indianapolis, Judge
Joseph M. Miner, Superior Court
Five, Friday ruled that Mcclure
Beach, Twenty-Sixth st. and White

of the city health board.
The court held this in a suit
brought by James Angelo, conces-
sion holder. who sought to have the
beach opened. He alleged chemical
tests showed the water At for
swimming despite the boards order
that it was impure.
Upholds Health Officials
under all the facts submitted and
circumstances surrounding this case,
the court is strongly of the opinion
that actions of the health author
tiles should be upheld in every in
stance unless shown to be tainted
with fraud, which has not been
shown in this case.
ut would be far better to have
one person suffer a financial loss on
account of a matter of this sort,
rather than have an epidemic of
disease sweep over the city. which
might and no doubt would be
caused by permitting swimming at
the Twenty Sixth st. beach under
the condition the water is in at the
present time" the courts closing
paragraph said.
No Evidence of Fraud
Judge Miner said the plaintiff
had attempted to inject some EVIL
dence in this case with the inten-
ton, no doubt, of showing the court
that there has been some fraud, or
something of deeply mysterious ma
ture back of the closing of this
beach.
"In the opinion of the court there
has been no evidence of any such
nature"
he pointed out that evidence re-
lated that the sewage valve at Fifty
Fourth ST., was being kept open in
order to make the water impure.
Predicts Filing of Suit

 The machines roared through the streets at 70 miles an hour, shortly after one o'clock, when David w Howe, a motorcycle officer, took up the chase. One of the automobiles was sedan reported stolen in Whit neville. In 1t was one man while the other machine contained two men, supposedly confederates of the driver of the sedan.
 In the exchange of pistol shots. at lease eight bullets were fired, Howe said and he was Chrtain that he had wounded the man in the first car. As he followed the sedan, the second car came in behind and opened fire on the officer.
 Zigzagging to avoid the bullets from the machine behind him, Howe sent four snap shots at the driver in front. He said that he saw the mans arm jerk through the window by the steering wheel and hang limp. He was forced to abandon the chase when the two machines threatened to wedge him between them.
 Although Howe is sure that he secured the numbers of the two au- tomobiles despite the fact that general description of the machines has been sent throughout state no arrest has been made.
