JAMES WATSON PUT ON GRILL IN ELKHART TALK Hoosier Senator Asked to Explain Notorious Packer’s Speech. COLVER FACES NOMINEE Bt a Staff Correspondent. ELKHART. Ind.. Oct. 7—Senator James E. Watson of Indiana was requested by William B. Colver, former chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, in an address here last night, to give the people of Indiana intimate details of his attack on the commission at Just the time the big meat packers were under investigation. Watson was asked if the speech he made in the Senate was not crepared and handed to him to be delivered, where and how and when he got the material for the speech, who framed the charges he made against the commission and many particulars as to the activities of Clarence Martin. Indianapolis attorney, who was engaged by the special Senate committee which Watson had ordered to investigate the Federal Trade Commission. Colver made his attack on Watson at the conclusion of an address to the State League of Women Voters on the high co it of living. He said he had endeavored to force Watson to prove charges he made against the commission, that Watson had in fact charged him (Colver) with being a traitor, and that when Watson dodged every effort, he (Colver) came to Indiana on his own expense account and without consultation with any one or any political organization, to face Watson in his home State and to drive him to complete the attack he started. COLVER WAS CHAIRMAN THEN. Colver was chairman of the commission at the time the Senate ordered an Investigation of the five big meat packers. The Investigation was made and is revealed such startling information that the packers voluntarily entered into agreements to dissolve their various holdings. The Senate prepared legislation and was considering it when suddenly Watson arose in the Senate and made a long attack on supposed Bolshevism existing In governmental departments. He charged particularly that the commission was honeycombed with Bolshevists at the time the packer investigation was made. Senator Kenyon, Republican, who was praised highly tonight by Colver, demanded that Watson prove bis charges and forced, with Watson's aid, the appointment of a committee to investigate. The investigation seems to have been started and then abandoned, as nothing has been beard of it. The Watson speech was a sensation. Coming as it did and being so timed ,es to have Its relation with the packer ■lnvestigation and hiving been made at ■e time a special agent of the packers Bias In the gallery, an agent who was o particular friend of Watson's, and then ■being followed by an expose of packer i Inquiries of Watson, the entire matter ' caused the utmost attention. ATTACKS EXCESS I'ROFITS TAX. Colver in his speech attacked the excess profits tax as causing in part the high cost of living and denounced the last Republican Congress for Its failure to repeal this tax, warned the women that It Is war which Is the cause of the high cost of living and that success for the Republicans will mean a war with Mexico, and added that those who profit through wars are those who are fighting the League of Nations. Aside from taxation, he said monopolistic control of foodstuffs and conspiracies In restraint of trade assist in adding to the high cost of living. This statement caused him to reveal lor the first time many Intimate details of the big meat packer-Watsou-commission story. He charged that reactionaries in the Senate of which Watson was one. organized the Senate and immediately appointed George A. Sanderson, legislative agent for the packers, as secretary to the Senate, a highly important office. “He is there now. He will stay as long as the oligarchy stays—and packer legislation sleeps," he said. Ife recalled how a Republican administration had attacked meat packer contr< 1 and how Senator Lodge had denounced the packers. TELIIB OF V YTSON’S ACTIVITY. He then told how Watson, on Oct. 20. 1919, “first gave a speech to the newspapers and then delivered It in the Senate,” in which he said he had been Investigating sociallstum. Bolshevism and anarchy in various Government department. and especially In the Federal Trade Commission. Watson demanded an Investigation by • special committee. Watson added that “in no wise is this a defense of the packers.” “The Senate referred the matter to a committee to whose members Senator Watson talked and finally, early in January, money was provided and the committee was appointed," said Colver. “Senator Watson was made a member of that committee. Long before this, however, a lawyer, Clarence Martin of Indianapolis, was employed on the Watson charges. Martin was traveling about. He was under expense. He was Interviewing witnesses. He was claiming to act for and by the authority of a Senate committee weeks and weeks before any such had been authorized and appointed." <sColver then went on to tell how Martin eventually was hired by the Senate committee but how no trial or investigation followed. He then added: “I ask Senator Wntson to tell the people of Indiana whether or not the speech In substantially the form In which he delivered It, did not come Into his hands typewritten? If so, who gave It to him? “I ask Senator Watson whether or not in fact, he had, to quote his own words, ‘for several weeks been Investigating?’ If so, when, where, how ? “If not. who did frame the charges? Who gave them to Watson? “Who employed Martin before the Senate sub-committee did and who paid his railroad fare, his hotel bills and his salary for the weeks and weeks before he was employed by the Senate committee?” ColVer will make other speeches in the State In his endeavor to force Watson's hand and to reveal fully tho complete story of Watson’s activities In connection with the celebrated speech.

Pl-ee-ase?” I begged the morning after Virginia returned the circlet of brilliants which Neal had given Phoebe. “Well, now, Barbara Anne, do you s’pose that If 1 was calculating to stay I’d be packing up my duds like this?” said Father Andrew with one of his nice, slow smiles. “No—l understand you’re calculating to go—but I've been doing some calculating too.

GOODRICH WILL PROFIT UNDER NEW COAL PRICES (Continued From Tate On.) Mining Company and had given U to his son as a birthday present. Mr. Goodrich, as a member of the coal commission classified the Patoka Coal Company, In which he and his family are financially interested, and the Lenoir company, in which bis son received stock as a wedding present In Group 1, In ttfe price-fixing order. This classification means that these two companies may charge for coal at 1 their mines $3.25 a ton for lump coal; $3 a ton for mine run coal and $2.80 a ton for screenings. Yet the Governor is on record, publicly, as having declared: “I know that it cost* less than $3 a ton to put this coal on the enrs." i Operators In Indiana ought not to lodge I any complaint over the price-fixing actlv- ; Hies of the Governor as a coal cornmis- | sioner, for has be not provided for mines j In which he and his family are financially | Interested, a profit over the cost of puti ting coal on the car ranging from 80 | cents for screenings to $1 for mine run i aud $1.25 for lump? | And are not the other operators stmi Harly classed permitted to reap the same | profits as the operators of the mines In ! which the Goodrich family Is Interested? | The promulgation yesterday of the order of the Goodrich coal commission fix- : ing tho profits for the Goodrich mines | disclosed that the Globe Mining ComI pany is not licensed to mine coal in j Indiana. This Is the company which gave James P. Goodrich and Ward H. Watson (brother of Senator Watson) $25,000 of Its capital stock ‘‘for services.” It Is also the company that opened a m ne In Pike County by the use of convicts from the State peual farm for whose services the company agreed to pay the State in coal. It Is also the company In which the i overnor's son was an officer and director j nt_ the time the convicts were employed ! in the mine in Pike County, i REDUCTION COMPANY CASE RECALLED. The failure of this company to take out a license to mine coal under the Goodrich mining law would Indicate that It is no longer actively engaged in the business, but tbe records of the Secretary of State do not disclose that it has been dissolved, as was the Indianapolis Reduction Company, following the sale to the city of Indianapolis of the SIO,OOO garbage plant for $175,000. It is suggested by a coal operator that the Globe Mining Company did not find It profitable to operate after public Indignation made it undesirable to use convict labor In Its operations. However, the Patoka Coal Company Is said to maintain an office at the same place that the Globe Mining Company is recorded as maintaining Its office, and the Governor says: “Myself and my family are financially Interested in the success of these two mines,” ope ated by the Patoka company, whose president, J.

had I said this than he threw some red powder at me which stained my eyes red as rubies.” “But bow did your legs become so bright a yellow?’’ asked Puss. And then the strange toad began to cry, and the tears that fell from his eyes were hard as little garnets, and Puss picked theat up and put them in hia pocket. “When I hopped away,” went on the strange Toad after wiping his eyes with a blue pocket handkerchief, “I found that my legs wero a bright yellow, for the Giant’s servant had sprinkled the ground with yellow powder." And then this unhappy Toad gave a mournful croak and hopped away. “Fairy Land is a queer place,” said Puss Junior to himself, as he jumped o nhls pony, “ ’Tls lucky that I have my magic feather and the little gold ring, for I may have much use for them before 1 have finished my travels." And no sooner were the words out of his mouth than he heard a loud noise like thunder, and the air was full of lightning, and then, all of a sudden, a great bird snatched him off his pony and flew away with him. “Oh, dear me: Wasn’t that dreadful? For it was the Thunder Bird, and his feathers were as black as night and his wings as large as the sails on a ship, and his beak was like a shaft of lightning, It was so sharp and bright, and every time he flapped his wings there wus a sound like thunder and every time be opened his bill streaks of lightning flashed over the sky. And the little pony was so frightened that he turned and ran back as fast as he could do the little King of the Mountain and told him what had happened. And when that little King heard the news he called together all his subjects and they started to walk up the great staircase that reached on the Inside of the mountain to the very top, where the Thunder Bird had his home. “Let us make haste to rescue our little friend," cried the little King of the Mountain.

You got to learn to make up to folks a little mite more tactfully. “Men don’t like to have their folks or their belongings found fault with—they have to be mothered a whole lot by their wives. But the rieht thing for a fine, high-spirited girl like you is to figure things like this out for yourself—not to have ’em told to her." "So you're going—for fear you’ll be tempted to help me solve my marriage problem,” I said, half in amusement, half | in longing to have him stay uud help me. j “I'm going because as I told you once, 1 don't believe in having strange fowls roosting in anew nest. And, Barbara Anne, I'm going because I don't want Neal to get a black spot on his heart from any bruise that's coming to him.” After that there was no protest I could make. And I didn't even have the privilege of being blue as 1 prepared Father Andrew's farewell lunch und helped him make ready to depart.

PARTISAN SPEAKS AT BAR MEETING League Discussion by Paid Republican Meets Objections. Politics entered the Indianapolis Bar Association, and for a short time threatened to disrupt the meeting last night, when several members objected strenuously to the discussion of political questions before the body. The controversy arose when W. A. Pickens, a member of the organization, and former corporation counsel of Indianapolis, denounced the appearance before the meeting of Edgar M. Atkins, who admitted he was a paid representative of the Republican national committee, to discuss the League of Nations. The discussion of the league, which was to have been from a legal point of view, received Itself, according to members, into a denunciation of the covenant, which was declared to be impractical and dangerous to the best Interests of the American public. W. A. Ketchain, newly elected com-mander-in-chjef of the G. A. R., also i denounced the presumption of the I speaker in attacking the league. PICKENB VOICES IIIS DISAPPROVAL, j “We come here to hear a legal disI cusslon by a speaker presumed to be a lawyer and a member of the Now York Bar Association, and we hnve 11s--(ened to a political speech and have heard the League of Natl ms document lambasted by a confessed paid representative of the Republican national committee,’’ said Mr. Pickens. “I do not approve of such ethics,” he 6aid. Mr. Pickens declared It to be only fair to have a-speaker who was friendly to President Wilson and Governor Cox, to speak before the association, if the bars i were to be lowered In favor of political discussions. Mr. Ketcham voiced the opinion that t the address made by Mr. Atkins would | have been more appropriate had it been dellevercd before the Marion Club. KETCHAM OPPOSES INJECTION OF POLITICS. “I do not favor injection of political partisanship into such a meeting as this, ; for we should have only legal discussions,” said Mr. Ketcham. Mr. Atkins was selected as the speaker before the association by Charles W. Moores, brother of Merrill Moores, Republican Congressman from the Seventh district. Mr. Moores said he had discussed the question of a speaker with his brother and that at the lest moment Mr. Atkins had been aiked to discuss tho league from a legal standpoint. He added that ue was of the opinion the dlscusilou had been from a legal point of view. Representative Moores then made a statement in which he declared ali blame for the meeting, if any there was, should be placed on him. The discussion waxed hotter and hoti ter until W. C. Nappes, president of the | association, suggested that ths organ!- ; zution give a rising vote of thanks for | the speaker. Nine men refused to Join In tho rising ! vote. Mr. Atkins, in defense of himself, told I the attorneys he had not appeared before j their body in the role of a propogandist although he admitted he was a paid rrpteseutatlve of the Republican national ! committee. Pair at Greencastle Sentenced for Theft Special to Tho Tims*. GREENCASTLE. Ind., Oct. 7.- Dewey Snyder, 22, and Jesse Kerr, 24. were each sentenced to terms of from ten to twenty years in the State reformatory Wednesday by Judge James P, Hughes of the I'utnaui Circuit Court on charges of burglary.

KNOWN AS GAMBLING DEBTS. Tho Indianapolis News referred to these debts as having been incurred in “gambling’’ and E. G. Hall, a lawyer of Fowler, instructed the directors not to liquidate them for the same reason. It Is worthy of note that the Sawyer company has not pressed Us claim against the Raub company, although reports here are to the effect that the matter will be taken up by the company after election. So far as known, however, no move has ever been made by McCray’s corny pany 'to bring up ‘the question of a settlement. Raub is right across the Newton County line in Benton County and the ltaub Grain Company was a competitor of the company controlled by McCray in Kentland. GOODRICH MEN ARE INVOLVED. Tho sequel to the Raub scandal hav brought to light an interesting connection on the part of the Goodrich administration Involving John W. McCardle, a Goodrich appointee on the public service commission. Mr. McCardle's son. C. A. McCardle, is a member of the Indianapolis firm of McCardle A Blacjt. Representatives of McCardle & Black, it is said by liaub residents, had obtained i the promises of some of the directors of the company that they could have grain stored in the elevator in payment for ; the claim held against Kelley. ; A shortage of cars, however, prevented | movement of the grain at this time. I The senior McCardle was in WasbingI ton and cars were sent to Raub through ian order of the Interstate Commerce j Commission, but when they arrived the Raub Company refused to send the grain i to Indianapolis dealers. J No one here will accuse Mr. McCardle | of having used his official position to obtain cars for his son’s use, but manv remark that It was a strange coincidence that he was in Washington and that the cars for this particular object started to move at the game time.

RENSSELAER, Ind., Oct. 7.—ln • speech to the women voters here last night Miss Julia Landers “read the record” of Senator Moses, Republican of New Hampshire, and showed that It W3s he who prevented the Governor of New Hampshire from calling a special session of the Legislature to ratify woman suffrage, making that State the thirtysixth and giving suffrage a majority on the constitutional amendment. “I am amused at the appeal of Senator Moses in Indiana to get the vote of the women for Senator \Vat3on,” Miss Landers said. “I wonder If the women who are conversant with the history of the suffrage movement will give much attention to the plea of Senator Moses, that they give their votes to Senator Watson at hisrequest. “Along with Lodge and Borah and Branrtegee and Wadsworth, Senator Moses is well known as a member of the group that tried hard to prevent women from getting the vote. “He says that he expects that Senator Watson will be made chairman of the finance committee In the United States Senate, because he will be of great service in influencing legislation—get ihls—influencing legislation for the upbuilding of American industry. “We do not doubt his ability to Influence legislation, and we have not forgotten the Mulhall affair, and I am wondering whether the women will regard that as much of a recommendation for his re-election.” A DEFT. “People are laughing behind your back at you.” “They are wise.
