RECALLS DAYS

KrauSe Grows Reminiscent
on 40 Years Family Has
Been in Trade.

Celebration of the annual harvest
festival of the East Washington
Street Merchants Association, which
begins Saturday, recalls to the minds
of the pioneer merchants of that
section of the city the passing of
ancient landmarks and the period
when the courthouse was the hub of
the city.
One of the Oldest mems furnish
ing houses in the city is that of
Krause Brothers, 205-207 East
Washington street.
For more than forty-nine years
there has been a store operated by a
Krause in that section.
Today the store founded by Rein
hold Krause, who died in 1913 at the
age of 95, is managed by his two
sons, Frank and Harry Krause.
Comes From Germany
When Reinhold Krause left his
home at Ehrfuhrt in Germany,
fifty years ago, and turned his face
westward, he came to Indianapolis.
Here he opened shop at 229 East
Washington street, now opposite the
courthouse.
He had learned the art of knitting
sox, stockings and jackets in Ger
many and it was at this trade that
he started in indianapolis.
For years he sold his knitted
goods, which were famous through
out this territory, to the hardy
pioneers who were clearing the
forests and tilling the soil.
Store Greatly Expanded
Reinhold found that other mems
clothing would be a good Sidellne
and he began to sell mems furnish
ings.
Today the mems furnishings, the
once sideline, has become the main
product and the small shop has be-
Come The large double storeroom.
"We moved to this larger store
twenty-five years ago." said Harry
Krause.
"At that time the Cincinnati Bak-
ing Company was located in 207
East Washington street and in the
basement was the big old-fashioned
brick oven that was 20x35 feet in
size. And I remember well how long
it took to remove the oven.
1.-THE county Jail was located on
the southwest corner of Alabama
and Market street, and when I was
boy I remember a public hang
ing on the scaffold in front of the
Jail, and the mob was so great that
the side streets were crowded"

MONK IN 1900
WROTE BOOK ON
HOW TO FLY
Ideas Amazingly Modern:
$1,000 Francs Offered
for Only Volume.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
PARIS, Oct. 26.-Eforts are be-
ing made to purchase from its own
ers in Spain a copy Of rare volume
by a Spanish monk of the latter
part of the seventeenth century in
which a remarkable study of the
possibility of flying is provided. 1t
was $50 years ago that Antonio de
la Pena wrote his "El Ente Dilu-
cidado," beautifully illustrated and
Illuminated by hand.
The majority of it's chapters,
however, dealt with subjects of such
little interest or so little understood
that few ever took the trouble to
reach the portion which may be said
to give to Spain the right to claim
the title of the "'Discoverer of Mod
ern Aviation"
There is so close an analogy be-
tween the Spanish monks theories
and the practice of today that the
French group interested in the sub
ject is said to have offered $4,000
francs for the only copy of the
volume.
Father de la Pena began with a
study of specific GRANTEES and the
action of solids in various liquids.
This brought him to the idea of
man and motor propelled machine
which would fly through the air.
He decided that the solid body
should possess three things,-a fixed
gravity of the body, extension of
wings and violence of impulsion so
that the intensity of the weight
would be proportional to the ex-
tension, or spread, of its wings" Put
this into modern aerodrome terms
and Father de la Pena's foresighted-
ness must be admitted as remark
able.

CURTAIN DRAWN
FOR DR.. WORK
G. o. P. Campaign Head Is
Likely to Retire.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-Unofn-
cial cabinet builders are specializing
as to what will happen to DR..
Hubert Work of Colorado, chairman
of the national Republican COM
mittee.
AS campaign head of the G. o. P,
DR.. Work undoubtedly has claims
to presidential favor. However, they
are complicated by circumstances
that may afford embarrassment to
the President-elect.
At the very height of the cam
paign, DR.. Work became involved
in an aftermath of the Sinclair
oil scandal, through cancellation by
the encouragement of a renewal
Of Sinclair's contract for Salt Greek
royalty oil. The renewal had been
signed by Work while secretary of
the interior. He was accused of
carelessnesS and stupidity by his
critics in approving the renewal.
Most political observers agree that
his name could not be submitted to
the senate for a cabinet post with
out opposition. Moreover, DR.. Work
already has held two cabinet jobs
postmaster-general and secretary
Of the interior. The former is gen.
orally regarded as a political berth,
but it is understood the Colorado
man is adverse to returning to any
position he formerly held.

BY w. F. SULLIVAN


CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-Two of the
most outstanding women In the ma
ton today, opposites in political
faith, Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick,
Republican, and Mrs. Ruth Bryan
Owen, Democrat, will sit in the Sew
enty-first congress in Washington.
Mrs. Mccormick, daughter of
Mark Hanna, late Ohio political
leader, will represent Illinois at con-
man-at-large, and Mrs. owen,
daughter of the late Commoner,
William Jennings Bryan. will repre-
sent the Fourth Florida COMPRESSION
al district
The total feminine representation
in next congress, practically COM
plete returns from Tuesdays cleo
ton show, will be seven. Four
women incumbents, Mrs. Rogers of
Massachusetts,, Mrs. Norton of New
Jersey, Mrs. Kahn of California,
and Mrs. Langley of Kentucky, were
reelected. Mrs. Ruth Pratt Of New
York is the seventh.
Recall Eameu taLnerS
Old timers who recall the color
full campaigns in the days when
Mark Hanna and William Jennings
Bryan were foremost among po-
litical leaders for their respective
parties, rejoiced in the election of
the daughters of these two great
men.
Mrs. Mccormick, Rockford pub
Usher, and widow of the late SEN
ator Medill Mccormick, was elected
with Richard Yates, Republican
running mate, as Illinois congress-
man at-large. She conducted a
typical Mark Hanna campaign, en-
tering each of Illinois 102 counties
and addressing gatherings mot as
a woman" but as a Republican
candidate for Office.
Great Tribute Paid
From a feminine standpoint, Illi-
nois paid womanhood a great
tribute. Four Republican and one
Democratic women were elected to
seats in the lower house Of the
state legislature.
The Florida tribute to Mrs. Owen
was as impressive, if not more so,
as that state went to Hoover in
the presidential vote. Practically
complete returns showed that the
Commoner's daughter had been
elected by a vote of approximate
ly two to one over william E. Law
son, Republican.

THOUSANDS IN FLIGHT
Mighty Commissions Send
Lava Streams Rushing

CATANIA, Sicily, Nov. 8.-Mount
Etna, spouting forth the worst trail
of destruction in it's modern history,
today continued to visit its fiery
wrath on the hamletS clustered
along the maze of its slopes.
The last three standing struc-
lures in the village Of Mascali top
pied and fell before the rush of
molten rock which poured down
from the volcano yesterday and OBJ
liberated the town.
Panic-stricken inhabitants of
Fiumefreddo fled their homes, al
though they were in no immediate
danger.
The principal stream of molten
rock increased In its descent as the
main eruptive mouth opened a large
assure, which resembled an incan-
descent ravi.1e.
Mountain Splits Fire
The mountain spat forth fire and
destruction along its steep sides and
then subsidized, as lava halted tempo
rarily on the outskirts Of Fiuefreddo.
Frequent commissions intermittently
sent forth great streams of lava.
Experts said that certain aspects
of the eruption we're comparable to
the one which destroyed Catania in
1863. Measures we're adopted to
continue electric lighting and power
along temporary transmission lines,
should the present aerial high vol
tage lines to this city be interrupted.
Another flow of lava menaced the
village of Nunziata. 1t had halted
on the outskirts of the town, but If
it continued its advance today, as
was expected, the river of melted
rock would destroy Nunziata and
also the hamlet of Carraba, which
already has been evacuated.
Lava RuSheS Toward Sea
The lava stream which rushed
through Mascall, already had ad-
vanced nearly twenty miles over a
front 400 yards wide. 1t was less
than four miles from the ocean.
Another river of lava had entered
the sea north of Riposto, sending up
great clouds of steam and causing
sudden explosions.
Giovanni Giuriati, minister of
public works, was instructed to re-
main at the scene of the catas-
trophe and lend all possible aid to
refugees. He had planned to
speed to Rome and report, but Mus
solini suggested that he remain in
Sicily.

ELECTION BLOW
TOLAF TOILETTE
Regular Republicans Back
at Wisconsin Helm.

oW OHtttU EFtoo
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 8.-The
La Toilette Progressive and the So
cialist party were given severe set
back N Tuesdays election, when
regular Republicans scored a victory
for Herbert Hoover and most of the
Wisconsin state ticket.
Senator Robert M. La Toilette alone
came through the election with vic
tory for the Progressives but mas
much as his Democratic opponent
had withdrawn from the race, but
little opposition was offered.
Progressive leaders had Endorsed
Governor Alfred z. Smith, but the
result was decisive victory for
Herbert Hoover in the state. Sen
ator La Toilette did not come out
openly for Smith as did his col
league, Senator John j. Blaine, but
his refusal to support Hoover and
the Republican platform placed him
in the ranks opposing the regu-
lars.
Walter j. Keller, regular Repub-
liean, who defeated Joseph D. Beck,
La Follette's Endorsed candidate in
the primary, was elected Governor
over his Democratic opponent.
Tuesdays decision at the polls
was continuation Of the sentiment
expressed at the primary. Enough
regular Republicans were nominated
to control the state platform con-
vention in September and force
adoption of a regular Republican
platform in the state for the first
time in several years.
Regular Republican representa-
ton on the state central committee
was strengthened, but the Progress
sives still hold the balance of power
The regulars already are looking to

pected to ask reelection.
