DRIVE FOR C. C.
800 Business Men Launch
Annual Campaign.

An army of 300 business men to-
day began the annual Indianapolis
Chamber of Commerce membership
campaign, following an organization
breakfast at the Sphinx Arms, with
Louis j. Borinstein, chamber presi-
dent, as host.
The campaign workers will meet
again at $50 today for dinner at
the Sphinx Arms, with William H.
Trimble and George S. Olive as
hosts, when first reports on the
drive will be made.
Leaders Of the campaign hope to
conclude the drive before a lunch
con at the hotel Wednesday.
The campaign, to finance the
chambers business building pro-
gram, has been accorded indorse-
ment Of the Associated Employers of
Indianapolis and the Womans Ro-
tary Club.
Calling attention to the business
building program, number of
downtown merchants have loaned
their display windows for exhibits of
products made in Indianapolis.

action. Under the heat, vorhies
declared that the reason he voted to
replace Charlie with a Democrat
was because the party leaders
wanted him to take this action and
blamed the affair on H. Nathan
Swain. county chairman.
To which Swain retorted that he
had not been consulted about the
appointment and knew nothing of
the commissioners action until John
Mann was announced as appointee.
To make matters worse, Vorhies
permitted Charley to stampede the
commissioners into a public hearing
and trial on the matter, which COT
fin, of course, never would have
permitted.
Adding to the laugh, testimony
was introduced to show that weak,
but willing" Vorhies had declared.
few DAYS before the trial, that
Mann was a good highway super
intendent."
In reprisal, the commissioners re-
fused to allow pay vouchers for the
road workers who were to go with
out food just to permit Vorhies, ct
al, to vent their petty political spite.
It's a fine situation, to say the
least.
On the strength of all the pub
icitv Charles Mann iS the Coffin
candidate for the nomination for
county commissioner and Vorhies is
running for reelection The for
mer is using the road JOB to push
himself ahead, they tell me.
But, as Democratic leaders say:
Let's dump the weak sister this
time"
And that should go double for
both.

A Ii this touting of Charles
IA Mann. Marion county highway
superintendent, as a great public
servant apparently is giving the dis
interested public pain in the neck.
For no apparent reason, Mann is
placed on a pedestal and if you ask
the boys at the courthouse. they will
say the answer is politics"
The culpable person in the picture
is Dow Vorhies, Democratic county
commissioner, who has been at
tempting the weird feat of sitting
on both sides of the fence so long
that he could pass for a contor-
zionist.
If you haven't met Vorhies, you
should, for, according to Democratic
leaders, every organization has its
cross to bear and in that party's
case the particular cross is Vor-
HES. But let's go back a couple Of
months.
When Tom Ellis became the sec
ond Democratic member OF the
board of county commissioners, he
conferred with VorhieS and the pair
decided to replace Mann with ode
serving Democrat"
But instead of consulting the
county organization heads, they
went ahead and appointed John
Mann, chicken dinner place oper-
ator.

Urged on by Republican workers,
Charlie refused to yacate, because
he said he had four-year contract
dating from Jan. l, 1890, given to
him by the Coffin county commits

And as real Coffin boy he would
not get out.

SWEET POTATO CROP SHORT
Reports From Down State Show
Only About Half Crop

Only About Half Crop
With approximately one-half Of
the sweet potato crop, the leading
crop in lower Delaawre, harvested,
it loks as if there will not be more
than half a normal crop. Disease
greatly damaged the stand, and the
dry weather Of the last five weeks,
prevented the potatoes from grow
ing. The buyers have started the
price at twenty cents a five-eighths
basket which is a remarkable price
considering the prices on the city
markets. The potatoes are selling
in the big city markets for fifty
cents a bushel The transportation
amounts to fifteen cents a bushel
with the package at ten cents, the
potatoes net but twenty-five cents
bushel. 1t requires approximate
ly two baskets to pack one bushel,
and if the keep happens to be had,
more than two are required. It is
estimated that not more than half
of the storage houses will be filled,
although most of the crop viii be
stored on account of the low prices
at this time. Only one car load

Paris Claims Credit
for First Periscone

Paris.-The submarine periscope
was not invented by Sir Howard
Grub, Englishman, as generally be-
lieved, but by a Frenchman, ac-
cording to statement made be-
fore the French Academy Of Sci.
ences.
NJ. Jean Rey, French inventor.
claimed that he himself conceived
the first periscope and that It was
used aboard the French submarine
Gymnote in 1891. At that time, he
asserted, England had no underwa-
ter craft and the British govern
ment disapproved of them.
NJ. Rey attributed the perfection
OF the marine periscope to anoth-
er Frenchman, Jules Carpenter,
who constructed his model In 1897.
He concluded by saying that other
nations have since copied the prin-
ciple Of the Carpenter periscope.
