We have cut our national debt to approximately $18,600,000.006, and it is to be hoped that we can pay off the balance as soon as possible, for in tlie event, of trouble the treasury is alwaju the first line of defense.

Walter Carpenter, a court reporter. Ralph Spaan, Indianapolis attorney The present affidavit is the third charge which Gilliam has filed against the Anti-Saloon League leader. On the first charge, which was contempt of court, Shumaker was convicted and was sentenced to 60 days at the state farm with a fine of 3250. There is now pending before the state supreme court another charge by Gilli m that while the contempt case was pending, tried to exert political pressure upon judges of the supreme court by asking United States Senators James E. Watson and Arthur R. Robinson to intervene in his behaJf. Pending decision of the latter cause, Shumaker has not yet begun to serve the sentence for contempt. Ihe suit of the attorney general today was the first legal attempt to strike at Shumaker's practice of demanding in advance of elections the views of candidates lor public ,otfice i on the wet and dry Issue. Its filing followed the issuance of > an open letter assailing Shumaker by Ralph K. Kane, campaign manager for the attorney general. , This letter charged that through the statements in the American Issue, Shumaker had “demonstrated . that, although you profess to be a I minister of the Gospel, you have no respect for the eighth commandment ! and you are willing to employ the i methods of a political demagogue to i giatify a personal grudge.” . Continuing the assault, Kane fore- . cast the present suit by the following * statement: I "There is no place in this country ■ lor reformers for revenue only, and ; when they violate the law, as you > have done in litis case,, it is time to stop their activities."

HICKMAN BELIEVES HE WILL CHEAT HANGMAN HOPES OF AN APPEAL Sau Quentin Prison —(INS)—Preoccupied with “grandstanding” during his daily ball game, William Edward Hickman Is convinced he wil not he hanged for the murder of Marion Parker. Fellow convicts and guards assert that the youthful kidnapper has repeatedly said of the outcome of his appeal, "You'll be surprised," He leers knowingly in discussing the appeal, they say. The earliest for his execution in event his appeal is denied will be some time in June, it is learned here. As no other executions are scheduled before that date, Hickman, if hanged, would be tlie one hundred and thirty-third man to die oli the San Quentin gallows. According to authorities Hickman's execution in June would mark the thirty-third year of San Quentin hangings. The first execution was March 3, 1893 when lose Gabiiel of San Diego was hanged. Hickman's disposition lias grown jovial under prison life, those who see him daily report. He takes great pleastue in the daily period of recreation aud plays baseball with guato. Whenever specators watch from the gallery “The. Fox" attempts fancy throws and catches to draw attention. Hickman’s disposition to "grandstand" in Hie (iresence of visitors almost cost him his privilege of exercising daily. He was severely rebuked by prison officials who told him that auy further “’clowning" tu the presence of visitors would result in load of his privileges.. —.
