JUDGE OBJECTS TO INFLUENCING OF GRAND JURY Cites for Contempt Lawyer Who Takes Client Before Body. NOT IN MARION COUNTY By Staff Correspondent. ELKHART, Ind., Oct. 4.—ln the 34th Judicial District, consisting of Elkhart and Lagrange Counties, it is contempt of court for an attorney to attempt to influenqji a grand jury in behalf of his client. In .the Marlon County Criminal Court an attempt was recently made to punish for contempt a newspaper man because the newspaper with which he was connected exposed an effort of an attorney to “try his case before the Marion County grand jury.” In Elkhart the court cited for contempt the attorney who approached the grand Jury. In Marion County the court attempted to impose a jail sentence and a fine on a newspaper man whose only connection with the affair was the fact that he was In the employ of the newspaper that exposed the breach of legal ethics on the part of the attorney. The court at Elkhart makes no pretense to being a “good government and clean politics” beacon light. Its judge does not claim to be "nationally noted.” nor to have evolved, through experience or others ise, any methods of "reforming” confirmed criminals RECORD OF ELKHART CASE. Louis W. Vail, an attorney, on the morning of Sept. 23, entered the grand jury room with Willis D. Widner. where Vail said Widner was tinder suspicion in connection with a matter which the grand jury was then investigating, and that Vail 'wished the grand jury to hear Widner’s story of the transaction. Neither Vail nor Widner was under subpoena, and Glen R. Sawyer, deputy prosecutor, immediately filed a showing before Judge Wlllintn B. Hile of the Elkhart Superior Court, charging that “the object of Vail in appearing before the grand jury in eompanv with Widner was for the purpose of obstructing and embarrassing the deliberations of said grand jury and the orderly administra- j tion of Justice.” _ „ ' Judge Hile immediately cited \ail for, contempt of court and the proceedings was ‘disposed of recently through the * public apology of Vail.

Chicagoan Put on Trial For Slaying of Girl Wife MR. AND MRS. CARL WANDERER.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—Carl Wanderer, former army lieutenant, who, on June 21, killed bis girl wife, her unborn child and a “ragged stranger," in the corridoi of his home, went on trial befote Judge Pam here today. Wanderer pleaded not guilty. His attorneys announced the defense would base its case on hereditary insanity. The morning was spent In questioning Jurors. The State is prepared to tight this plea and will insist upon the death penalty, If Wanderer Is convicted. Jail guards who have had charge of Wanderer declare he has been in high spirits and that he has gained weight. When the crime first was fastened upon him he expressed a desire to die, but has apparently forsaken that attitude. "Life Is sweet and I will fight," was the only statement he would make as he prepared to go to trial.

Britain’s Irish Policy Denounced as Sign of Weakness MacSwiney ' T O f\ 1V C Without Record *3 & U I 0 Food LONDON, Oct. 4. —Lord Mayor Terence MacSwiney was almost completely exhausted at the beginning of his fiftythird day of hunger striking. England's policy of repression In Ireland is a mark of weakness, former Secretary for Ireland Lord Morely declared in a letter published her* today. Morely denounced reprisals by ttfn police and declared failure to check them was an admission of failure on the part of the government. The statement of Arthur Griffiths, Sinn Fein leader, that reprisals not only were condoned, but were a part of the government's policy, was denied In an official statement. The Republican army in Ireland has been recruited up to 300,000 men and is fully equipped with machine guns, rifles and ammunition, but baa no artillery, according to the Daily Sketch in a resume of the Irish military situation today. The Daily Sketch says that the British government has been informed in detail of the personnel of the Sian Fein army and has a list of tho members in their various ranks. Dublin Castle, seat of British authority in Ireland, denies the sensational statement of Arthur Griffith that the British administration plans to “assassinate the Sinn Fein leaders.” Officials at Dublin Castle denied also that any attempt at organized reprisals has been made in Ireland, despite the recent attacks upon towns by "black and tan” policemen. Lord Morely, former chief secretary for Ireland, in a letter to The Times on Irish repirsals, appeals to the "sanity of the police.” Everybody says Lord Morely agrees that home rule of some sort in Ireland la inevitable. Lord Morely says that it is no secret that the ministerial proceedings are raising new problems in the Irish situation and are aggravating old problems which are obstacles to good feeling. "Those who think that the 1920 insurrection can be stamped out like that in 17D8 do not understand the changes of the present era,” said Lord Morely. "Say what yon will, all must realize that n resort to exceptional reprisals mu't be counted as an admission of failure and a mark of weakness, not of strength.”

Entered as Second Class Matter, July 26, 1914. at Postoffice, Indianapolis. Ind., under act March 3, 1379.

Wantjerer Is accused of inducing a derelict of the streets to take part In a pretended hold-up that would enable him to kill his wife while apparently defending her from robbers. Mrs. Wanderer and a raggedly dressed stranger were shot and killed in tho vestibule of Wanderer s home here .Tuna 21 when Wanderer and bla wife returned from a movie. Wanderer claimed tho man attempted to hold him up and when he resisted his wife was accidentally killed. Wanderer aald he killed the stranger In a pistol duel. Three weeks later Wanderer In an alleged confession, said he killed hit wife because he "wanted to be able to go back Into the army.” He said he paid the stranger $3 for staging a fake hold-up and killed him so there wouldn’t be any "double crossing."

‘THE AV’NOO’ RUNS OUT ZEALOUS COP Officer Who Offended *Shiner* Midaugh Goes to ‘Woods.’ There is Joy among the proprietors of Indiana avenue gambling bouses and among bootleggers who frequent that district. Patrolman John Allison has been | moved. j The wise ones around police headI quarters in answer to the question of why he was moved, says he has enforced the law entirely too strictly, and “it is 1 so close to the election,” and. of course, there are many “good Republican votes ! in that Indiana avenue district." Allison has enforced the law without i fear or favor for months. "lnyiug'' on | the gambling dens of the notorious no- . gro district until the gamblers feared to even try a craps game. Rut that day is done, for the big. redhaired policeman who enforced the law has been moved to n quiet beat near College and Massachusetts avenue*. The frequenters of the underworld are smiling and saying “even iu this day of supposed law enforcement It pays a policeman to be blind.” Some persons who have a knowledge of how Republican political workers do things under the Jewett “aood government” rule Bay that Everettt “Shiner” Mlddaugh probably had something to do with Patrolman Allison being moved from tthe Indiana avenue district. Mlddaugh has been convicted of gambling and bootlogging and Is well known to tho police. Borne time ago "Shiner,” who, although a white man, visited the Indiana avenue section. "This district Is not big enough for you and me both.” Patrolman Allison told Mlddaugh. "Shiner” thought it was and therefore Allison arrested him on the charge of vagrancy, but Judge Walter Pritchard hurried to the turnkey’s office and ordered Middaugh's release on his own recognizance. When the case was tried Judge Pritchard dismissed the charges. Patrolman Allison told “Shiner” that if he appeared again in the Indiana avenue district he would be arrested. This threat, made by a police officer against a Republican political worker | who hauled a prominent city official around In his automobile at the last city election and who has been shown a hundred favors by the "good government” administration, may have had something to do with Patrolman Allison’s "trip to the woods.” $75,000 Ohio River Packet Is Burned Special to The Times.

COUNCIL URGES SPEEDY AID FOR STREET CAR CO. Resolution to State Public Service Body Points to Wrecking Plan. IMPROVEMENTS BLOCKED A resolution requesting the public service commission to act immediately upon the petition of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company for financial relief so as to prevent what members of the council have stated they believe to be a scheme on the part of certain financial interests to batter down the stock of the company to a point where they may "freeze out” a large number of small share holders will be Introduced at/ the regular meeting of the city council tonight, it was intimated today. Some of the oounoilmen Intimated that they have become suspicious that 6cme ulterior motive is behind the long continued delay in acting upon the company’s petition for relief because many other utilities in far loss precarious condition than tjie street railway company have been granted relief, practically for the asking and because Mayor Charles W. Jewett has suddenly become so active in the blocking of the resurfacing and widening of Ohio street front Alabama and Delaware street so as to permit the extension of tho Ohio street car tracks In the section. HINT "CONNECTION" TO WRECK COMPANY. The councilmeu ,\vere Inclined to see a direct connection between the plan to wreck the company, which they profess to believe exists, and the blocking of the Ohio street improvement. Minting that they are of the opinion that the Interests supposedly at the bottom of the reported scheme naturally do not de/lire any extensions of service to be made. The resolution for the Improvement of the section of Ohio street, which Is generally admitted to be as badly in need of repair as any other section of pavement in the city, calls for the resurfacing and widening from Alabama to East street. It lieltig contemplated by the city council, if not by the board of public works, that tracks shall be extended through the section and to Washington street In East street so as to permit tnterurban cars which now reach Washington street from Ohio street through Delaware street to traverse the lesa congested route. ! The history of the resolution shows | that It was adopted several mouths ago (Continued on Page Two.)

’A FARMER BY PROXY’ SEEMS M’CRAYRATING Kentland People Say Candidate Never Followed in Plow Furrow. (By Staff Correspondent.) KENTLAND, ind., Oct. 4.—An anomalous note Is struck In the Indiana gubernatorial campaign within the borders of Newton county, where Warren T. McCray, the Republican nominee. Is best known by virtue of Uls long residence. McCray and his managers and the Republican State committee have assiduously cultivated the Idea that he is s farmer, a "dirt farmer.” In fact, the nominee himself has capitalized his agricultural talents almost to the exclusion of other qualifications that he might possess. Here, however, where he is personally known to almost every man woman and child, bis chief fame lies, not in the fact that he owns a b*g stock farm, but In the general knowledge that he has amassed a huge fortune through con nectlon with a brokerage firm that deals In grain futures on the Chicago Board of Trade. Mr. McCray is not a farmer, nor has be lived ou a farm since his early ) outh. He is a banker, a grain dealer and a stock broker. According to his friends in Kentland he “never followed a plow In his life," and they express great surprise that there Is s prevalent notion in Indiana that he Is a “farmer candidate." "You had better refer to him na the 'Board of Trade candidate,’ *’ theso people say, “for that Is his real profession.'’ Mr. McCray has lived In Kentland since early In his youth and before he was 19 years, old conducted a grocery there. He early became identified with the grain business and tho rich productiveness of this country enabled him to prosper. Following tl.e death of his father he took the presidency of tne Discount and Deposit Bank of Kentland and has maintained offices in the bank building for years.

Meanwhile Governor Cox and other leading Democrats will demand from the stump that Senator Harding elaborate his position jin the League and treaty.
