Damaged Today.

Capt. Michael Highland of Fire
Company was burned on the
hands and feet today while fighting
a blaze which swept two duplex
apartment buildings on N. Talbot
st. Damage to the buildings totaled
several thousand dollars" firemen
estimated.
The blaze started at 1854 N. Tai
bot-st, apparently from defective
fiue. The building was reduced to
framework shell. The roof of 1704
N. Talbot-st, to which the flames
spread, was destroyed.
A 60-year-old woman, Mrs. r. A.
Leavitt, and Mr.. and Mrs. William

stairs apartment occupied by Julius

Stroyed and furniture belonging TO
Mr.. and Mrs. William Knipple, in
downstairs apartment, was damaged
by water, f1remen said.

unstairs apartment at 1704 N. Tai
bot-st, ran into the burning build
ing to save her cocker spaniel, Tar
zana. She was not at home when
the fire started.

Red Flag Hoisted Ab0De q. S. Court;
Annoyed Officials Suspect Prank

The nine grave justices of the
court were silent on the unusual in
cident. However, presumably un-
aware OF the discovery of the sickle
and-hammer banner, Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes, addressing
the American Law Institute today,
said:
I am happy to report the Su-
preme Court is still functioning."
That left the police department
almost alone in its concern over the
situation.
1t quickly uncovered the following
"clews"::

wasn't such a good clew.)
The flag was discovered at dawn.
Supreme Court building policemen
were unable to dislodge it. Metro
politan police were called but could
not reach it. The fire department
came; its ladders were too short.
In desperation. as the rosy-tinted
dawn cast a mocking red glow, a
blow torch was borrowed from work
men nearby and, at the end of a
long stick, the flag was finally set
afire.

BILL PROVIDES FOR
.POST0FF|CE ADDITION
Measure Reported in House
With $4,000 Added.
Times Special

ItnteS Special
WASHINGTON, May 7.-Provi-
sion for the new addition to the In
dianapolis Postofflce was made by a
S575,000 additional appropriation in
the deficiency bill, which was re-
ported in the House today.
A former appropriation of $1,315,-
600 proved insufficient when bids
were received due to rising construc-
ton costs and an increase in the
size of the proposed addition.
Rep. Louis Ludlow had the addi-
tional sum put into the present bill,
making the necessary total of ST.
$4,000 available He said that he
is sure it will pass without question.
The additional sum will be en-
tirely adequate to give Indianapolis
the Postoffice addition in the best
possible way" Mr.. Ludlow said.

Bo0kWaIter.

Today the Marion County Repub-
lican reorganization committee and
the G. o. P. machine both claimed
majorities of the 1913 precinct COM

There is absolutely no truth in
the reports that we would COM
promise on the election of a county
chairman-unless the Coffin group
would let me name him." declared
John H. Bookwalter, candidate for
county chairman of the reorgani-
zation group. 1--WE are going to do
what we set out to do and that
is reorganize the party"
Wayne Emmelman, county Re-
publican chairman, said that at
noon the reorganization commit
tee had filed the names of SO vice
precinct committeeman named at
the primary polls yesterday. He
claimed that 43 of the SO commit
teemen had signed the petition urg-
ing the candidacy of Frederick E.
Schortemeier as county chairman.
He said the regular organization
precinct committeeman would name
233 vice committeeman and that but
six precincts are still out.

Alfred o. Meloy, in charge of the
reorganization headqua, ,rs, said:

Mr.. Bookwalter said. IA
THE Republican reorganization

100 precinct committeeman def
nitely and positively pledged, and
more are coming over to us every
hour.
"Of the unopposed committeeman,
all OF whom, according to the Coffin
organization, are for Mr.. Schorte-
meier for chairman, we have al
ways had 122, and we now have
many more pledged to us.
Every committeeman knows that
the Schortemeier petition was moth
| ing more than last desperate bluff
on the part of Coffin. Mr.. Coffin is
Simpling whistling in the dark.
Emmelman Claims Victory
"We have definite pledges of sup
port of 1913 of the 1877 Jnopposed
candidates for precinct committee
men. These committeeman will be
with us Saturday and we are going
to win"
Frederick E. Schortemeier, former
Secretary Of State, is proposed by

flying over New York to fly on over
Washington, Baltimore, Newark, N.

CRITICS ATTACK
NEW DEAL BILLS
WPA Setup inefficient, Is
Republicans Charge
in House.
STORMY DEBATE is ON
Jobs for 2,843,500 Next
Year Is Goal, Hopkins
Tells Committee.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May T.
A storm of partisan debate
over the New Deals relief
policies broke out in the
House today as the last major
bill of the session, carrying
81, ,425, ,000,0 900 for work-relief,
was brought up for action.
Republican attack centered on
alleged inef6ciency of the WPA
setup and received some support
from Democratic insurgents who
have forced a party caucus to-
night in an effort to earmark, over
the Presidents protests, $700,OOO,OO
for the Public Works Administra-
tion.
House leaders, after slight
furry, pushed through the House
an agreement to limit debate on
thesbill to seven hours. Under the
plan the final roll call vote on
passage, however, will be delayed
until Monday.
Jobs for 2,S43,5OO
The bill, in addition to the
Works-Relief appropriation, carries
$308, 100000 for the Civilian Con-
servation corps and $458, ,631, 1850 for
the social security setup. In all
the bill-one of the largest peace
time supply bills in history-ap-
propriates $2,364, ,229,7I2.
The Appropriations Committee
report and hearings made public to-
day revealed:
i. That WPA Administrator Har.
ry Hopkins will have direct control
over the relief fund, and expects
that coupled with remaining fumes
this year, it will give jobs to 2,843,-
500 next year, but that more money
may be asked by the President if
industry fails in employment pick
up.
2. That the Civilian Conservation
Corps is planned as a permanent
Federal function by the President,
in the belief that 100000 youths
annually will be out of jobs and
need such training.
iva Is Turned Down
8, That the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority had been turned down in a
proposal for the right to use funds
to obtain a dam site under nego-
tiations with the Aluminium Co. of
America.
The House debate was opened by
Rep. Clifford Woodrum Cd, Va.), a
friend of the President, who said
that the President is desirous thai
the relief burden be turned over TO
local communities "as soon as pos
sible"
