Frank C. Jordan, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce fire prevention committee, recalled last night that the grand prize was awarded to Indianapolis In 1925 for the work of Mr.

Jordan expressed satisfaction that this city received honorable mention among cities of Its class. In 11121 this city was awarded first prize In its i class. CITY NOT SLIPPING. Percy Iltigbee of Boston, field engineer of the National Fire Prevention Association, who was in Indianapolis last night, tald that competition this year was much keener than in previous year's. "Indianapolis is not slipping," said Mr.

Bugbec. "It is simply a case of other cities making Important strides in fire prevention. It is a good indication of the fire prevention activities throughout the country which will save millions of dollars." Mr. Jordan explained that the awards are made on a basis of all branches of fire prevention1 activities. The contest is conducted Jointly by the nntlonal fire waste council and the Chnmber of Commerce of the United States.

The Associated Press dispatch says that out of 2'21 cities entered, the group prize winners were Portland, among titles above Long Reach, among cities between 20.000 and 50,000, and Albany, In the smaller population group. Forty "honor cities" also were named. The presentation of awards will take place at the annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States here In May.

The trials and tribulations of competing high schools are many and they are not lessened by the financial burden which is Imposed upon them who come to tuir contest. city sends its group out of civic pride without knowing in advance by any regulated comparison how they can nope to compete with other organizations. They can know only by 'regional or district competition' in which winners could be selected for stae competition. "With the sectionals held two weeks in advance of the state contest, groat state-wide interest could be created In the culminating contest here and the funds for the transportation of the sectional winners could easily be raised by an admission fee at the sectional, though any slight deficit which might occur undoubtedly would readily be made up by the city to be represented in the state contest.

"The Indiana state basket ball tournament has been successfully built on such a foundation. Comment upon this event is needless, for all know how it is followed by the basket ball fans of the state. The same thing can be done for music and our committee is the only properly-equipped organization to sponsor the undertaking. Our expenses would be practically no more than they now are, for our event aS it now is conducted requires exactly the same set-up as would be necessary to the enlarged undertaking but we can have thirty organizations In each classification guaranteed to us instead of the undetermined and varying number we now have."

"More thas $1,500,000 is being wasted annually In the administration of rural fehools In Indiana," Prof. Black declared. "Of this -waste 000, 000 is paid annually in salaries to the township trustees as heads of township jrovernmental units that are too small to be administered with economy." I'rof. Black pointed to a remedy in the abolishment of the office of township tru.stee, placing the schools under direction of the county superintendent as the executive officer of a board of five to seven school trustees on the city plan. VRGES IXIFORM TAXES.

"Only uniform taxation of the vhole county fur educational pur-I'oses," he said, 'will make it possible for children in the rural township to njoy the. educational opportunity of the richer communities of the cities." Dr. Henry Sherwood of Indianapolis, state superintendent of I'libllc instruction, emphasized the arguments advanced by Prof. Black in i.n address tonight at the high school nudltorium. Mrs.

G. G. Derbyshire of Indianapolis, president of the Indiana Parent-Teacher Association, and other educators and association officials were the program. Delegates, association members and their guests were entertained at dinner by women of St. Luke's Church.

that he considered Dr. Wilson, whose veracity was challenged Wednesday by Representative O'Connor of Naw York, to be not a falsifier, but retailer of falsehoods. He resented remarks he said Dr. Wilson had made about i enforcement conditions in the territory and especially in his own district. The committee went to great lengths in inquiring Into the Judge's view on prohibition, the enforcement of which he said had given him great trouble.

He asserted his belief that violation of the dry law was not evidence of I moral turpitude. Then some one read into the record a statement quoting theJudge as having declared that members of Congress violated the law. To this he replica, that he knew of men of high standing who took a drink whenever they got a chance. 1 One Federal Judge, he said, assigned to try liquor cases had remarked that it was going to be hard work and inquired as to where he could get something to "wet his whistle." Nevertheless Judge Ritchie Insisted he had not upbraided prohibition enforcement. His own district, he said, was as clean as any rural American community.

CALLS CHARGES FALSEHOODS. 1 Delegate Sutherland read a letter from Sherman Duggan, former district attorney in Alaska, criticizing the Judge as out of sympathy with prohi- bition, and making other charges, but the Judge replied they were "malicious I falsehoods." I The resolution of Senator Edge would authorize states and. territories to conduct a referendum as to amend- i ment of the Volstead act. He said if the drys have no fear that public opinion has reversed itself then it would seem they should unhesitatingly indorse this plan for a legal national Three members of the House kept the argument going in- that branch of Congress, Representatives Black (Democrat, New York), Linthicum (Democrat, Maryland) and Weller (Democrat, New York). Mr.

Black and Mr. Linthicum talked about the high cost of enforcement, while Mr. Weller, reciting a contention that women will smoke if they can't get liquor, added that "we have seen a lot of women smoking In the last five years." He also brought in the farmer, who, he said, usually has his cellar supplied with cider which gets harder and harder. The internal revenue bureau's order placing manufacturers under bond, calls for bonds of $10,000 to $05,000. The step was taken in connection with the new revenue law, taxing cereal beverages as a means of permitting inspection by prohibition authorities ta prevent high-power beer making.

OFFICER OF KLAN ASKEDJOJESIGN CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE. ship offices in the primary election May 4 as well as a set of precinct committeemen which the Klan will seek to elect with the assistance of all anti-Coffln elements, it was said. In order to effect this program it was decided that a headquarters from which the political activities will be directed will be established in the City Trust building and the name of the organization will be the Marion County Voters' League. Some of; these attending the session indicated there was a willingness on the part of those present to support both Watson and Robinson in the event Evans withdraws his demands for support of Coffin and removal of Elliott. Orbison, it was said, is working to put through the demands of Evans.

According to some of the reports coming from the session of the Klan there was discussion about the reason Evans was insisting upon the removal of Elliott. Some held that Coffin had informed Kvans that the county would be turned against Watson in event Elliott was not removed, Others declared that EVans seeks to remove Elliott because of the political activities of the cyclopa in Marion county. Evans recently made a statement that the Klan is out of politics. This was repeated recently by Smith, the head of the order in the state. The action of Elliott this week in declaring against Coffin is believed to have precipitated the demand for his removal.

Those connected with the Klan declare the imperial wizard has the authority to remove any lower officer in the organization. BEDFORD EXPLAINS STAND. Harvey O. Bedford, who resigned this week as inspector of traffic in the Jndianapolis police force, made a speech at the session and told, of his reasons for retiring. William A.

Boyce city clerk, who recently announced he would accept the po3t of Republican county chairman if the precinct committeemen elected May 4 would support him, was present at the session and addressed the Klan. Bedford and Boyce have made public statements against Coffin. George V. Coffin, Republican county chairman, asserted last night that he had not asked for the removal of Exalted Cyclops Elliott. i "I have never talked with or communicated with Mr.

Evans, Charlie Orbison or Mr. Smith on the subject of removing Elliott," he added.

Some Federal agents yesterday advanced the theory that if there Is any liquor missing, it could have been stolen while it was held in the warehouse at Lawrenceburg. The stock was sealed lnthe warehouse there in October, 1921, when a check showed I. BUO cases, according to George Winkler, former group chief under Bert C.

Morgan, who preceded Harris as prohibition enforcement officer in Indiana. No further check was made from that time until 1923 when it was removed to Indianapolis, AVinkler said. The warehouse was broken Into during that period. Other former Fed eral prohibition officers said no accurate check ever was made of tha stock of liquor. John A.

Royse, collector of customs and custodian of the Federal building, said he believed It impossible for any one to have stolen any of the liquor during the period it has been held here. Traps were set in the basement of the building where -the liquor is stored, he said, and the fact that the traps were never molested, indicates, he said, that no theft had taken place there. MAJ.

Supporters of the Thirty-fourvV street location, who met at the North Park Christian Church, in a series of short talks combined a presentation of the advantages of this location with a vigorous denunciation of the majority faction of the school board. Asserting that the school board had not taken the public intp its confidence as to the reasons for the proposed change in location's, William Bosson, attorney for the Indianapolis Public School Welfare Association, said that the majority members of the board had sought to undo, within one month after taking office, the work on the Shortridge plans, which had been carefully considered and worked up over a long period of time. "Elected officials are the servants of the people, and the board members have not acted with this in view in their present stand," he declared.

OUTLINES SITUATION. Mr. Bosson outlined the Shortridge site situation from its inception several years ago, and drew a comparison between the respective advantages of the two sites. "Indianapolis-stands about twenty-fifth or twenty-sixth among cities of its size in school facilities," G. Millett, another speaker, said.

He presented figures, compiled in a Chamber of Commerce survey, to bear out his assertion. Mr. Millett said that indifference of the public was largely responsible for the situation. "Indianapolis needs more, not larger, high schools," he said. The Rev.

J. A. Long, pastor of the North Park church, said that the' Thirty-fourth street district was a great section of homes and that erection of a high school there was a public necessity. A smaller school was not objectionable, Dr. Long pointed out.

"The home, the school the church are institutions that stand or fall together, and the personal contact which is found in a small school is a fine thing," he said. URGES ACTIVITY, Dr. O. E. Yater, who presided at a mass meeting held at the Seventh Christian Church, Annette and Udell streets, earlier in the week, was another speaker.

He urged residents of the district to work up organized effort on the part of churches, clubs and schools and business organizations in the community. "The people of North Indianapolis are waking up to the situation," he declared. The Rev. Joseph G. Moore, pastor of the Capitol Avenue M.

E. Church, also spoke briefly on the necessity of keeping up the fight and building up public sentiment until it presented a solid and organized front. Edward W. Clark presided at the meeting. Informal discussion of the situation among those present followed the speaking program.

It was announced that plans for another meeting would be made public within a few days. DENIES PHYSICIAN PLANNED TO MARRY CHICAGO, March 28. Centering on letters from Miss Marie Grischeau to Dr. Leonard Ensminger of Indianapolis, whom she is suing for for breach of promise, Attorney Royal Irwin made his final plea for the physician today, contending there was neither an implied nor expressed contract of marriage between the two. He produced the letters offered by Miss Grlscheau's counsel as ohibts to show there was no mention of marriage by either party.

There is considerable evidence that Miss Grischeau knew the doctor did not intend marriage, Irwi'i said. In many other letters she actually agrees to consider their friendship an incidental one, he said. Our -Debut as Merchants TODAY we make our bow to Indianapolis as merchants?
