FLAG MARKER FOR GRAVE OF M’CRAY’S BULL Prized Sire of G. O. P. Candidate’s Herd Accorded Hero’s Tribute. NEIGHBORS POINT IT OUT By STAFF CORRESPONDENT. K.ENTLAND, Ind., Oct. 29. —Old Glory wares over the carcass of a bull on the cattle farm of Warren T. McCray. * A large American Sag marks the remains of “Perfection Fairfax." the prized bull of the McCray herd. Farmers in the vicinity of the Republican candidate for Governor's home are still talking about the "big goings on" at the time the bull was buried with pomp and ceremony. On the evening that “Perfection Fairfax" was buried with so much acclaim an American flag was hoisted. Residents in the immediate vicinity of the farm of the Republican candidate for Governor yesterday pointed out the flag to the writer. “Old Glory marks the grave of the dead bull," said the wife of a prominent farmer near the McCray farm as she directed the writer to the window of her borne. “The flag was put up after the men had finished digging the grave for the hull. “Oh, there was great doings on when the men got their shovel* and started to dig the grave. “We saw the flag on the, first evening that the bull was burled and the flag is j ug there now.” Old Glory was floating to the breeae n the McCray farm over the spot where neighbors say the bull Is burled. THF.EK IX OKS HOUSE POINT OUT THB FLAG. Three person* In one house pointed out the flag as the marker for the gram of a headless bull. Before “Perfection Falrrlew” was burled, his massive head was carefully removed and sent away to be mounted. The flag pole from which Old Glory was flying and which the neighbors say j designates the grave of the bull, 1* not j in the yard of the farm home, nor Is i It suspended from any building or barn. ; It Is located some distance to t”e side j of a barn and does not occupy a place j of proximity to the farm residence, nor any other structure. There is an atmosphere of fear in the vicinity of Kentland, regarding the di- , mission of the honors paid to the prized bull of the McCray herd. Aa the writer neared the McCray honee three men were working with two calve* ‘ ar Ia number of fine cattle. The eldest of the trio talked with the I writer a* he followed the cattle Into . tha main cattle entrance on the farm. This workman defended the right of r "Perfection Fairfax" to the American Lji g. The writer stated to him that It was ; understood that an American flag had hung for years in the stall of Perfection Fairfax.” To which this man, engaged In attending to McCray'* cattle, said: "Why shouldn't the grand sire, ’Per- 1 fectlon Fairfax,’ have the flag? ‘He was known all over the world and a man from Milwaukee brought and j (t pntinoeu on Page Twenty.) - Jnow~ ROCHESTER, N.

WCRAY’S BULL AND OUR FLAG In, France, where lie eighty thousand American dead who yielded up their lives to save the civilization of the world, the American flag floats proudly over the graves of honored dead. In Newton County, where lie the bones and offal of Warren T. McCray's petted prize bull, the same American flag marks the spot. The American flag in France is the emblem of patriotism and purity and glory for the survival of which brave men faced death and willingly sacrificed their span of years. The American flag at Orchard Lake Farm, In Newton County, iB merely a convenient marker for the resting place of the carcass of a bull. i The hands that raised the flag in France were moved by tender reverence for the memories of men who died for others. The hands that raised the flag in Newton County were moved by regret at the death of a money producing brute. - Warren T. McCray owned the kulL He owns the farm on which it was buried with pomp and ceremony on tbe Sabbath day. By bis grace the American flag does duty as a marker for the bull’s carcass while he asks you to make him Governor in order that he may “apply the methods that won him business success” to the affairs of the State of Indiana!
FUEL BODY TO QUIZ ALLEGED COAL COMBINE Said to Exist Between Some Operators and Dealers. Action by the coal commission to crush ; an alleged combine between certain coal j operators and coal dealers will be taken ! shortly If the practices reported to the | State body are not abolished, it became I known today. Reports have been received by the speI elal ceal and food commission from re- ; liable sources. It is said, that some coal ! operators have refused to sell coal to j retailers unless they are members of a ! certain retailers’ organization. Some reports state the retailers who | did get coal were members of an asao- ! elation. i The alleged discriminatory action of j the operators will be subject of an order | of the commission within a week. If fur- ! ther evidence of such a practice is found I by the coal commission’s Investigators. ! MAY LIMIT SALKS j TO SOME RETAILERS. ! The order would Include the statement I that operators would hare to sell their coal In limited amounts to certain re, taller* who would be designated •• the individual operators' clients In the Coal market. Numerous complaints by Jobber* or wholesaler* have been received in the office of tbe special coal and fuel commission from various sources which they say that the jobbers cannot operate upon a marginal profit of 15 cents a ton. M,ny operators, now working under the orders of the commission, have refused to sell coal to the Jobbers, thereby eliminating them from the sales procedure of the coal distribution, and by taking the 15 cents a ton profit allowed the whoiealer* for themselves, in case* where they sell coal direct to the retailer. The action of the operator* in eliminating the “middle-man,” even though the operators take the 15 cents profit, cuts down the cost of coal per ton, j through the direct movement of tbe coal to the retailer, who doe* not have ] to ‘‘tack on” an additional hauling j charge, or meet an additional expense ; concurred in a demurrage rate of the wholesaler. Many wholesalers are operating upon contracts and those in tha business being taken acre of are large enough to operate upon a 15-csnt margin, while it Is the "little fellows" who are eliminated. FAVOR MT NICIPAL COAL MARKETS. The establishment of municipal markets in seven Indiana towns appears to be the only manner of relieving the coal situation in cities where fourteen retailers have failed to withdraw- their suits against the special coal and food : commission, members of the commission believe. The establishment of municipal markets by the coal commission will not be in towns and cities where retailers are cooperating with the commission, but the commission will endeavor to aid the retailers in the distribution of coal to such an extent that retailers who have filed eults and who say they cannot operate at the commission’s price will not be needed. The seven towns from which fourteen retailers have failed to withdraw the remaining suits against the commission and th* retailers ere: Roanoke, N. D. E. Richards and A. Wasmuth & Bone: Huntington, Huntington Lumber Company, Citizens Ice and Coal Company, ' C. E. Bash and the Wasmuth Grain and Coal Company; Goshen, Citizens Coal Company, Independent Coal Company and C. J. Castetter; Warsaw, E. E. Bunting Coal Company; Valparaiso, McFetlch Lumber and Coal Company; Crawfordsvllle, Shaw & Shaw, and James Blnford & Sons; Ben Davis, T. O. Bush & Son. COAT, MINE OWNERS PLAN COURT BATTLE, Coal mine owners are drawing their lines for a Supreme Court battle against Indiana I** providing for State regulation of piles distribution of coal, it has been learned. The law will be fought on the grounds that It is discriminatory and otherwise is in violation of the Constitution of the United States. It is held to be discrimnatory by permitting the sale of foreign coal In Indiana at higher prices than Is allowed for Indiana-mined coal under the recent prlce-flxlng order of the State Special Coal and Food Commission. In their legal fight, the Indiana operators, it is understood, will have support of the National Coal Association. The mine owner? in their search for legal talent are understodtl to be trying to obtain Ellhn Root to represent them. Charles Evans Hughes was understood to haTe been asked to take the case, but he was unable to do so. Palmer Sends Out Warning on Voting WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.

NEW CONTRACT NOT ACCEPTED Gas Company and Board of Works Fail to Reach Agreement. Failure to reach an agreement with tbe board of director? and trustees of the Citizens Oa Company upon tbe terms of the amendments to the franchise, designed to ration gas during times of shortage and to prevent shortages In the future, was reported by the board of public works today. Board members said they hoped, however, to reach an agreement In time to sign the contract containing the amendments at their meeting Monday morning. A statement issued by the board indicated It has been unable to agree with the gan company on -ho clause of the contract which broadens the city’s power over the company to the extent that the boar ♦of works may order improvements | in tbe company’s plant* to increase the capacity for gas production. The board said it Is revising the clause la the hope that It may meet the approval of the gas company. The statement is os follows: The board of public works last Wcdnescday advised the public that tho emergency contract with the gas company would ue taken up for adoption this morning. This emergency contract was tentatively agreed to by the corporation rouncel and the board of works and a committee from the gas company, subject to the approval of the director* and trustees of the company. The board of works and the corporation counsel had every reason to believe this contract would he adopted. However, we are advlaed this morning the trustees and directors of the gas company did not approve this contract with clause No. 7 as It now stands In the contract. The board of works and the corporation counsel agreed to several changes In the original draft to which the Citizens Gas Company seriously objected sot the specific reason that we wanted them to ugree to section 7. Section 7 is the vita! section of the entire contract a? it provides a remedy to take care of the shortage In gas In the future. The board cf works and the corporation counsel Insisted on this section going In as originally written or to be modified so as to specify the actual Improvements and additions to be made. We are working on section 7 and expect to have It in a satisfactory way so as to adopt this contract at our regular meeting next Monday. The board Instructed Clerk william Cleary to send a letter to John B. Roynolds, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, reporting that satisfactory progress in the resurfacing of South street, from Virginia to Kentucky avenues, with wooden blocks. Is being made, but that the board differ* with Mr. Reynolds on the cooperation given by the Republic Creosotlng Company. Mr. Reynolds wrote the board a few days ago, expressing praise for the speed with which the creosotlng company furnished the blocks for the work. The facts are, the board stated, tbe resurfacing ha? been held up for three months by the failure of the company to make deliveries to the contractors. Bids were received as follows: For sidewalk on south side of Thirtieth street, from College avenue to Fall Creek bouleva'd, Charles Scbwert, 12.83V4 per lineal foot. For sidewalks In Sturm avenue, from Highland avenue to Oriental street, D T. Fall, $1.98 per’lineal foot, and Abel Brothers, $1.79. GERMANY’S TONNAGE TO PAY.

COURT SETS HEARING To prevent the destruction of the official registration list* said to contain tußny alleged illegal applications, Paul G, Davis, Democratic nominee for the office of prosecuting attorney of this county, today appealed to Judge Linn Hay of Superior Court, room 2, for the Issuance of a preliminary writ against Comity Auditor Leo K.

LAW SILENT ON PRESERVING LISTS. Because the law doe* not provide how Iceg or whether at all the county auditor shall preserve the registration applications after the boards return them to the auditor, and also because the law contains no Inhibition against the Immediate destruction of tbe applications after the election boards obtain their receipt on tho return of the registration lists after election, Mr. Davis contends that he deems It necessary to ask the court for an order which will prevent Mr. F**!er or any others from destroying or disposing of tbe records In any manner. Realizing the eerionsnea* of the sitestlon Judge Hay ordered the cause for hearing at 9:30 o’clock on Wednesday morning after the election. ak rot rt to issue W KIT .FORTHW ITH. Mr. Davis asks the court that a preliminary writ may be Issued forthwith against the defendant In hi* official,“capacity as raid Auditor of said county, and as custodian of aforesaid applications after the same hare been returned to him after said election, enjoining him and all those acting for and under him from disposing of, changing, destroying or releasing from his custody, except on lawful legal process, any of the application* for registration of voters In any of tbe precincts herein above set forth until the final hearing of this cause, and that upon such final hearing, plaintiff be awarded an Injunction requiring said defendant and all those acting for and tinder him to keep all of tbe applications for the registration of voters in all of ■aid precincts safely and without Interference and prohibiting him from disposing of changing, destroying, or releasing from bis custody, except on lawful legal process, any of the applications for registration of voters In any of the precincts herein above set out after fhelr ] return to him after said election for • period of sixty days after said election.'’ .

BRAND COUNTY BOARD RECORDS NOT ACCURATE Accounts Body Also Uses ‘Deficient’ Regarding Commissioners’ Methods'. I “Marion County. Graft,” the official ! campaign booklet published by the Democratic committee and candidates of Marlcm County, quotes the records to show tho inefficiency and waste with which the Republican administration ha* managed the county affairs. It contains excerpts from the report of the State hoards of accounts, made public under date of May 2d, 1919, aa follows The record* of the board of commissioners are very deficient and inaccurate. On March 31, 1918 no entry at all had been made In the 1918 record after Got 81 ißut-ai-nts are made that do not seem to- be borne out in fact. Either the board has feggotten in many in stances to tell the clerk of an order that was la their minds or the clerk has forgotten to make the proper entries after sail order has been promulgated by the board. , Wo find no record book of any kind containing tbe proceedings relative to petitions filed for action of board, the Issuance of loads or the letting of can tracts for the construction of improved reads Is Marion County. The laid entry that we find of record In gravel road record No. 8 was made ; aa of June Id, Ll* (From Report of State board of account*, May 28, 1919.)

Considering that the grading was all done, bridge* and culverts all in. au excellent foundation already there, repairs costing more than fII,OOO per mile certainly seem* to be i an extremely lavish expenditure. . j Just who is responsible for this free- . hand spending of the public funds, in such enormous sums, without any contract, without competitive bidding, and with entire disregard of law and good business Judgment, Is yet to be deter- j mined.

NO. 147.
The reaction of tbe two immense crowds which Mr. Cox a.ddressed, one of 15,000 from the south balcony of Tomlinson Hall and another of fully 5,000 packed inside the hall, left not a doubt in the mind of Mr Cox or any- ; body else present that Indiana is going I to be swept into the Democratic column I next Tuesday. Mr. Cox expressed the confidence that | not only Indiana, but the whole Nation would tread the same path it followed In twice electing Woodrow Wilson, and the crowd roared its approval. WILSON'S NAME SIGNAL FOR GREAT DEMONSTRATION. Governor Cox will have delivered 35® speeches when he closes his campaign In Chicago Saturday night. ‘ In few has he touched the height* 1 he attained in his two addresses here, ; hi* attaches said. It was simply a ease of a great man, greatly Inspired by a great assemblage, to deliver a great speech upon a noble cause. It wta the temper of the audience ad the principal meeting inside Tomlinson Hall to cheer not at tha drop of the hat, i but at the fall of every syllable from the candidate's lip*, but Tomlinson Hail . never heard such acclaim as burst forth when Mr. Cox paid a tribute to President ! Wilson. "Isn’t it sinking to very low standard* i in this campaign to continue a propa- ! ganda, a creed of poisonous hate against the President of the United States, who, i like a crippled soldier, was brought ia In an Invalid chair only on the day before yeeterday In order to speak what is in his soul on this great question. “The country in all probability ha* been surprised to know how tragic, how •ad, that picture ia in tha White House. “The Chief Executive of the United States in the giving of his strength, possessed as he was es a sola obsession to the cauee of war, lies tonight a stricken Tictim of the war, as clearly as does any soldier in any hospital tot our disabled heroes." EQUALLY READY TO EXPRESS INDIGNATION. Aa persistently as did the crowd ehee* the sentiments of Governor Cox and the names of leaders, both Democratic anff ; Republican, who favor tbe league, so also i did they express their scorn for those who hare conspired to block the entry • of the United States into it. Mere mention of the name of Senatof I James B. Watson of Indiana called for a storm of hisses and shouts of denunciation that the speaker was compelled ! to wait for it to subside. The crowd was hardly less vociferous 1 in Its expression of disapproval toward 1 Boles Penrose, Senator Harding, Hoed ; Smoot, Truman Newberry and other /e- ---: actionary and discredited members ot 1 the *eaatorlal oligarchy. ! Comparison of the demonstration with that accorded the Republican candidate in the same hall two weeks ago bring* distinct comfort to the hearts of Indiana Democratic leaders. Governor Cox had no larger audience* than did Senator Harding, for the reason that it was Impossible to Jam more people into the hall on either occasion, and it is possible that he did not have a larger crowd In the outside overflow meeting than did the Republican chief, but for enthusiasm the Cox crowd had the Harding crowds vastly overshadowed. Whereas Senator Harding read from his manuscript for minute after minute without getting so much as a whisper from his audience. Governor Cox had great difficulty in keeping his listener* from spending more time cheering than he did talking. DEGB FOR ERASURE OF PARTY LINES.
"I come to you tonight with the greatest cause, the most sacred cause, the most important cause, having a wide? significance than has ever been presented to the men and women of any nation in -.he world,’ said Governor Cog. "And I come to you in no partisan sense; I do not want, if you please, te be considered as the candidate of any political party in. the sense that candidacies have been regarded in the past. "I want here to counsel with you representatives of an intelligent cltizer.sijjp In. the great American commonwalth. “I want that we all might build out of imagination at least a shrine to America; that we might gather around it and divest ourselves of every consld, eratlon except one, and that Is, what ia our. duty to our country; what is out duty to humanity, and what is our duty to Almighty God, Himself?” He said that he was going to discus* the covenant of the league and that he was going to begin with its origin, taka it apart so the people could see Just
what 1t was, and then discuss the objections that have been registered against it and the controlling practical and spir- i itual reasons for our becoming a member. .Disposing of the arguments of its enemies that the league la a “British league,” l or a "French league," or an “Italian 1 league," and so on. Governor Cox declared that it is a world lengue. “It Is a composite of the conscience and the Judgment of the nations of the earth," the Governor said. It must not be lost sight of that it grew out of the earnest desire of civilized peoples to make impossible the recurrence of the tragedy of 1911 to 19X8, he utd. * SHOWS PART TAFT HAD IN WRITING. He traced the development of the covenant, showing how it was submitted to former president Taft, who suggested four additions, which were written into it. It was submitted to Elihu Root, whom the Governor admitted Is "a great constitutional and International lawyer,” who made six suggestions, five of'which (Ostihiwd v Fh* glMtseli)
