Miller was before the board first. He asserted that the charges that Dale published in the Post-Democrat had been proved true at the impeachment trial of Judge Dearth before the Indiana state senate. The evidence was not introduced at Dale's trial he said, because it was impossible to uncover it at that time. The impeachment trial was the only way It could lie brought out, he explained. The others who appeared to plead for Dale were Faris Watson and Randolph. It was believed the trustees take the case under advisement. — o— ——

TULSA HAS HOPE ; FOR BIG FUTURE AS A RIVER PORTj L 11 Drainage Plan Expected To Make Rivers Os Southwest ( A Commercial Factor Tulsa. Oklahoma. July 13.—(INS)— t Steamboats ami barges plying UP 1 and down the Arkansas river, and , other rivers in the southwest; and Tulsa as a great inland river port t are foreseen by Tom C. Harriil, ] chairman of the Oklahoma state j drainage and irrigation commission. , This picture, Harriil points out. is a possible outgrowth of changes to be wrought by proposed flood , 'control measures, which will likely be effected on rivers that feed the , 1 Missouri and M»Fsisbip»>i rivers as 'an initial step in controlling the Mississippi valley situation. 1 Among th efirst steps to be pro- ' posed will be a deepening of the channels of the Arkansas. Verdi- , gris, (frand, Smoky Hill, Ibed and other rivers in the southwest. Feature of Conference This development, it is indicated, will be the feature of the flood control conference in Tulsa. July 14 and 15. Delegates to the congress are expected from all of the states vitally affected. Those states are: New Mexico. Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Colorado and Oklal horna. Definite plans and estimates of I actual cost fpr control of high waters through the southwest will be among the most important items considered at the meeting. “Few people realize what a definite program to flood control means," Harriß) stated. “Prevention of floods, of course is the main object of such a program. “To prevent floods it will be necessary to build huge reservoirs and to deepen river channels,” he said. “The old reservoirs will provide recreation centers for people throughout the river vallevju. Fishing, boating and swimming will be possible in the artificial lakes, and their water stftre may be made to change old haphazard methods of cultivation to beautiful terraced farms by means of irrigation.” To Deepen Channels “Deepened river channels will make possible navigation of the Barges) towed by river tugs will be able to move oil and farm products from Oklahoma to seaports on the gulf coast and to eastern points. A big reduction in freight rates would accompany the perfection of a system of river transportation.” Harrij'l estimated tha.t there are c.bpreximately 750,000 acres of bottom lai! Is iii Oklahoma alone, that are flooded by water every few years. Harriil has just returned from Washington, where he discussed flood control with government officials aud engineers in the war department. “The government engineers say that control of the Mississippi cannot be accomplished without control first of the Arkansas river,” Harriil reported. "They estimated tliat 35 per cent of the flood waters that caused such devastation in the southern part of the United States, came from the Arkansas. “The government is ready to "spend a btilion dollars if necessary in order to prevent recurrence of floods similar to the ones of the past year,” he said. o FORMER DRAGON IS INTERVIEWED BY PROSECUTOR • COXTIMJEn FHOM PAGE OWE) the purpose of their mission, but it was believed to be to ask Stephenson to turn over some of the documents he still has. Papers bearing on the city administration of Indianapolis were promised the prosecutor a week ago by Stephenson. They were to have been delivered Monday, but Remy received only a relatively unimportant copy of an agreement alleged to have been given by Chief of Detectives Claude M. Worley of indainapolis to Steph en»oii. Prosecutor Disappointed This agreement was regarded as valueless because Remy was not told who had the original. Reiny openly expressed his disappointment. Contrary to its former policy, the hoard of trustees of the state prison here recently decided it. would permit Remy or any other public prosecutor to interview Stephenson. Today. Remy took advantage of this permission for the second time. He is the only official outside the prison who has interviewed Stephenson. Remy is in an analgous position as

he prosecuted Stephenwn for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer and now defend, him to add important information to the political Probe. More Disclosure* Made newspaper was told by the indianap- . oils Times today. I The Times, a Scripps-Howard newspaper. Printed a third, copyrighted story, and reproduced copyrighted checks and notations, included among " the treasures yielded by the "Little, > Black Box" of D. C. Stephenson, for--1 mer klan grand dragon. I Stephenson was quirted as saying t he gave the checks to the liulianapo- • its Ledger, a negro weekly, for pub- - licity for Gov. Ed Jackson during his

primary campaign. Governor’s Name Involved Thus for the tl*d consecutive day. the name of the absent chief executive of Indiana was brought into the disclosures. The governor is noW ( visiting relatives in Osawatomie,] Kansas. He was named Monday as the alleged recipient of a $2,500 check from Stephenson. Tuesday, the Times reproduced checks spent ■ on his behajlf. but not made out to him. Today the Tunes print,e<i of the originals of four checks They were made out to W. H. (Big Jack) Jackson, owner of the Ledger, and were for $320. S6OO, S2OO and S2OO. The notations by Stephenson were made while he was awaiting sentence to Ufa imprisonment for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer. He busied himself in the Noblesville. Ind. jail with assorting and identifying various docunrtnis. Floyd Christian, an attorney, said Stephenson told him of hopes of using the check, to force men involved to procure his release. The notations were of the same general purport—that the money represented by the checks was paid to the Ledger or to its owner for Governor Jackson's publicity. “Big Jack” Jackson said today that he remembered the S6OO check, but could not recall the others. “It was paid for papers or publicity or something to help Governor Jackson, but I am quite sure that I, did nothing to incriminate myself," the Times quoted him as saying. The Times did not ask him about crimes.

“The importance of these checks," Boyd Gurley, Editor of the Times, wrote in his story,. "Lies in their revelations of the activities of Stephenson in behalf of Jackson and supporting the statement ckibdited to Stephenson that he had spent thousands of dollars in behalf of Jackson. “This statement has been denied by friends of the governor.” Promise that other documents to be published later will “Be a revelation to many groups and to many citizens” was made by the Times. c , Edward Keating Wins Marathon Swim With Lead Os Five Miles Lake George, N. Y., July 13 —(United Press) —Edward F. Keating of New York, former national 10-mile swimming champion, today won the 24-mile American Legion marathon five miles ahead of his nearest opponent, a woman.

He had led much of the ime but was a talle behind Keating when he abandoned the swim.
