COMMISSION TO HAVE EMINENT DOMAIN RIGHTS Details for Reformatory Removal to Be Ready Before Wednesday. THE SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT The commission for the remoral of the reformatory from Jeffersonville will be given the right of eminent domain in obtaining land for the new site of the institution, it was learned today following a conference In the office of Governor Warren T. McCray when the bill to be presented to the Legislature when it meets in special session next Wednesday, wag considered. This will be done to prevent the State from being charged exorbitant prices for land. The conference was attended by members of the removal commission, members of the board of trustees cf the reforma tory and others interested in removal plans. When the conference broke up after nearly three hours of discussion the Governor announced that he had appointed a subcommittee to do the actual work of drafting the bill this afternoon. The completed draft will be presented to him for approval tomorrow. SUB-COMMITTEE CHOSEN. Members of the Sub-committee are Michael E. 7'oley and Thomas Dailey of Indianapolis, trustees o' the institution; George A. H. Bhideler, superintendent of the reformatory; Charles A- McGonagle, superintendent of the Boys’ School; George E. Hester of New Albany, a member of the removal commission, Senator Estes Duncanon of CloTerdale, and Sumner Kenner, deputy attorney general. It is understood that the bill will provide that the removal commission shall select the site of the new Institution and that the construction work will be done by the board of trustees. Under the present act the building would be done under the supervision of the removal commission. The provision for tbe site of the institution has not been definitely agreed upon, it is understood. It was said to be probable that this will be left entirely in the hands of the removal commission. APPROPRIATIONS ABOUT 5900,000. Appropriations for the removal of the reformatory probably will amount to about $900,000. This will include the $450,000 received for the present property, the $300,000 appropriated in the present act and various appropriations made for improvements at the Jeffersonville institution. It is the plan of the Governor and those drafting the bill to have copies printed and distributed to members of the Assembly before they meet. The committee had before it a rough draft of the proposed bill, but many changes were suggested. SPEAKER TO BE NAMED IN CAUCUS. Meanwhile arrangements are going forward for the opening of the session and for the speakership fight. The speaker of the House will be named at n caucus of Republican members at tbe Hotel Severin Tuesday night. Governor McCray and Edmund M. Wasmuth, Republican State chairman, have both been ! asked to address the caucus but neither has Indicated whether he will accept. Representative Claude A. Smith of Princeton and Jacob D. Mlltenberger of Monde are still In the field. Raymond E. Willis of Angola has written letters 1 to members of the House Indicating that he would be willing to accept the place If elected and he Is considered as having considerable strength. It is understood that Mr. Willis may not return to tbe next Legislature and many members of the House are desirous of compromising on a man who will not be considered for speaker next year.
SHANK TURNS DEAF EAR TO WOMEN'S PLEA (Continued From Pago One.) others. 'While we are going through this process why shouldn’t we save money by simply not putting them on the pay roll until we know definitely that they are going to stick where we put them.” Questions as to whether or not Edward Sourbier can serve as the Republican member of the board of public safety and J. J. Cole as one of the Democratic members of the board of park commissioners have arisen and will be referred to Taylor E. Groninger, appointee for corporation counsel. Mr. Shank said. Mr. Sourbler, it is said, is connected with a' contract under which the Stutz Fire Engine Company is to supply parts for fire engines bought from the company by the board of public safety for the next ten years. MAY CHANGE COLE APPOINTMENT. Mr. Shank said that Mr. Cole wants to •ell the city antomobliee]. If he does. Mr. Shank said he does not believe he could be a member of the official family. In the event It is found necessary to change these appointments. William C. Bobbs of the Bobbs-Merrill Company will be offered the safety board post and Michael J. Shea, owner of the American Boiler and Sheet Iron Works, will be give tbe park board membership. Several changes in minor appointments have been made Mr. Shank said. Among these Is the shifting of Lewis Stanley, former Democratic chairman of the First ward, from an Inspectorship in the city civil engineering department to a captaincy in the fire prevention bureau; elimination of John j. Maronev as city light inspector and naming of Dr. James W. Hensley for his place; moving of J. S. Fox. negro, from messenger to the mayor to custodian of Tomlinson Hall and naming of Allen Garnett, negro, to be mayor’s messenger. NEGRO TO GET OLD PEACE BACK. Garnett was messenger for Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter and for Mr. Shank when he was mayor before. One position which tbe mayor-elect said he would like to see created is that of public defender in city court. Such an official would defend prisoners in city court who have not enough money to hire a lawyer. The city now has a prosecutor assigned to the court“l remember the time when I was a small toy and was hauled into city court for jerking a grocer’s slate pencil off of a string and throwing it over a fence,” ■aid Mr. Shank. *’l didn't have any money and didn't know anything about law. so I pleaded guilty to petit larceny. A kind-hearted lawyer, who now is one of tbe biggest lawyer*, in this town, happened to be looking on and he took me to one side, asked me a few questions, told the court that I wanted to change that plea to not guilty and then convirced the judge that I wasn't guilty of petit larceny. If that lawyer hadn’t been there I* dhave a police record hanging over me today. Theer surely ought to be a public defender in that court for Just such cases as that.” The minor appointment list as It now stands revised was made public by Mr. Shank as follows: City Hall—Gordon Donaldson, custodian; Carl Van Eaton, engineer; Jesse Jones, night fireman; Ada Gilmore, assistant custodian- Dan Lee, night watchman; Jesse Moore, janitor; William S. Johnson, Janitor; George Ross, Janitor; Minnie Woods, janitor; Minute Gatewood. Janitor; Fred Triplett, jani tor; Roland Griffin, Janitor; Warren Jewel, elevator; Pat Kelly, day fireman; David Mason, ianitor. „ Telephone Operators—Mamie Cohen, Gertrude Morris.

Lloyd George Sees Removal of Old Barrier Premier Says Irish Peace Precludes Misunderstanding With U. S. NEW YORK, Dec. B.—A deeply rooted cause of misunderstanding between the British Empire and the United States has been removed by the Irish settlement, Premier Lloyd George declared in a message today. Lloyd George also said that while he could not attend the Washington arms conference, he looked forward to visiting the United States later. The Premier's message follows: LONDON, Dec. B.—United Press, New York: “I am Tery grateful for your kind message of congratulations. Those are particularly welcome which coins like yours from the United States, for they carry with them tbe assurance that a deeply rooted cause of misunderstand lng between the British Empire and your great republic is at last removed. "If, Indeed, the heart and conscience of the gifted Irish race are now to support those common Ideals for which the Empire and tbe republic gave their hands to France in the great war, the cause of justice, open dealing and peace amoug nations will go forward with new power. “We have watched with admiration and thankfulness the clear and vigorous efforts given by your statesmen at Washington to this great cause. I have been deeply disappointed that the work of the Irish conference here has hitherto prevented me from being present at that momentous gathering. "Its splendid work is now so well advanced and we have such strong confidence in Mr. Balfour and his colleagues of the British empire delegation to further our Intense desire for its triumphant success that I do not think there will be any call lor my attendance before its deliberations close. But I look forward to another opportunity of visiting the United States at some future time and I thany you warmly for the prompt welcome you send. “D.

Mr. Montgomery said some of the property owners had been neard at a former sitting of the appraisers. He asserted that there is not much objection, but that “sentiment” figures where lots have ; been inherited. The appraisers are to make a report to the eotunty commissioners not later than the first of the year. Board Abolishes Police Reserves A resolution abolishing the citizens' police reserve, organized two years ago, has been adopted, It was announced by' the board of public safety. The board caused the reserve to be organized two years ago when the Indiana National Guard was being reorganized. The reserves, comprising about 1,000 citizens, were subject to duty similar to that of the national guard. Completion of the Nat onal Guard reorganization eliminates need for the reserves, it was stated. KINGAN EMPLOYE HELD. George C. Langford, 825 Birch avenue, was arrested yesterday afternoon on tbe charge of petit larceny. Joe Senko and James Cavett, watchmen at the Kingan A Co.’s plant, made the arrest, alleging Langford attempted to leave the packing plant with eight and a half pounds of pork tenderloin valued at $3.66. ASKS NEW INSURANCE LAWS. The annual report of the State Commissioner of Insurance shows that the State collected $1,333,142 In fees and taxes (taring the last fiscal year. This Is $66.000 more than was collected during the previous year.

ANGLO-IRISH PACT IN FACE OF FIRST TEST Sinn Fein Cabinet Meets to Consider Peace Agreement. DAIL TO RATIFY, BELIEF DUBLIN, Dec. S.—The first "showdown” on the Anglo-Irish peace treaty came today when the Sinn Fein cabinet mc‘ here to consider the agreement. There were hints of opposition by the Sinn Fein irreconcillables who demand a republic and absolute separation from the British empire as the cabinet ministers gathered to discuss the treaty with Eamonn Da Valera. LEADERS SOLEMN AS CABINET MEETS. Leaders of the Irish parleys wera solemn as they gathered for the meeting. None would express an open opinion as to the decision the cabinet will take, but privately manv said they expected a final agreement on the pact. The general attitude of the common people in Ireland is one of resignation. They believe the matter is in the hands of the Dail Eirrean and the British Parliament and they are content to await the decision of the two bodies who are doing the business. Opinions in the Dail were closely guarded. A dispatch here quoted Sean O’Kelly, Irish envoy to France and former speaker of the Dail, saying he would vote against the treaty. ‘‘l do not doubt that the Dail will ratify the pact,” O'Kelly is quoted. "But I am sure it will chuse a lively discussion and I for one am against it.” DUBLIN LORD MAYOR DELIGHTED WITH PACT. The lord mayor of Dublin declared the agreement “should fill every man, woman and child abiding in Ireland with delight.” George Russell, Irish author and economist, said: ”1 am enchanted. Now, at least we will be able to betake ourselves to our arts and Industries and to give free play to our hopes and Ideals.” The Freeman's Journal, a supporter of Sinn Fein, stated: "In the articles of settlement will be found every essential of that freedom for which the Irish people fought over for seven long, sorrowful centuries. Now let the people of Ireland make their own government.” The Dublin stock exchange showed a buoyant reaction, railway and Industrial Issues and banking bonds being substantially boosted. BRITISH TROOPS TO BE REMOVED IMMEDI IT ELY LONDON, Dec. B.—Tta removal of ♦5,000 British troops from Ireland will begin immediately, it was announced at the war office this afternoon. The Curragh military camp for the training of soldiers will be continued. No explanation was made but it was as- | surned that this decision was based upon the desires of residents of the iocnllty. It is estimated that under the peace agreement the Irish Free State wilt have: a standing army of 21,000 if the government wishes such a big military establlshnirnt.
BRITISH OPPOSITION BELIEVED SWEPT ASIDE LONDON, Dec. 8.- A rising wave o British approval in .he Irish settlement today was believed to have swept aside all opposition and provided almost unopposed parliament ratification. The opposition of the "die hards" is aald to have been broken when Sir Bonar Law. Unionist leaner, was converted to the cause of speedy accord. Sir James Craig, the Ulster leader, has arranged a conference with Premie™ Lloyd George for 11 n. m. Friday. He will leave Belfast tonight for London. The fai'ure of Ulster to ratify the pact was explained by a high authority here as merely a temporarily reserving of judgment. This authority said Ulster undoubtedly would eventually cooperate In the scheme. RIOTING BREAKS OUT AFRESH IN CHICAGO YARDS ♦ Continued From rage One.) and stones through the windows of a training bearing tbe workers. The bombardment of the ”L’' train ap parently had been carefully planned and was only one of half a dozen outbreaks this forenoon. A mob lay In wait for tbs train. As they saw It coming, fifteen or more climbed the ”L" uprights, hid lng near the ties. As the train came along the riotprs sprang up and sent mlsslis crashing through windows. Some of the workers were felled. Others toppled off seats and were cut by flying glass. The motorman managed to ruu'thp train, the coaches of which were partly ruined, into the wards, where the injured men were given medical aid. The rioters escaped, pursued by mounted police. Tn other parts of the Stockyards district, picke i managed to attack workers In spite of he heavy police guard. Fist fights with the police were frequent. YARDS VIRTUAL ARMED CAMP. The stockyards district here virtually is an armed camp as the result of rioting that assumed the most serious proportions of any outbreak here since the race riots of 1919. Fifteen hundred policemen, armed with two hundred riot guns and a supply of tear gas bombs are ou guard. State troops have not been asked as yet, hut Governor Len Small at Waukegan announced troops would be called out the moment the situation gets beyond the control of the police. One man is reported to have been killed, nine are known to have been wounded —two possibly fatally—and a score received minor Injuries In disturbances that marked the close of the day's work yesterday. Twenty thousand men. women and children, it Is estimated, participated in the rioting, many of tbe mobs containing scores of women. Tho rioting continued for more than three hours before police dispersed the rnobs. CHIEF FITZMORRIS IN PERSONAL CHARGE. Chief of Police Charles Fitzmorris assumed personal charge of the police and more than one thousand officers were rushed to the district. Police fired several volleys over the heads of the rioters to drive them back. Women and children were knocked down by clubs and mlaane.c, men with broken heads were left lying in :he streets and women who joined the strikers hurled red pepper at policemen. Asa precautionary measure all saloons in the district were ordered closed by Chief Fitzmorris. An appeal for an Injunction to restrain the strikers from molesting employes who wish to continue in their work which has been requested by twenty-two packing companies, is to be decided today by Judge Dennis E. Sullivan. Officials of most of the packing plants admit the strike has handicapped their operations, declaring they are operating at abont 90 per cent capacity. Union leaders contend that approximately 19,000 men are on strike In Chicago and declare several thousand more will go out today.
IiVUIANA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1921.
37 ENTER PLEAS OF GUILTY IN MUNCIE CASES (Continued From Page One.) one of the defendants. Barry testified that after he had returned to Muncie after appearing before the Federal grand jury here last winter he was called to appear before the Delaware County grand jury. He went to William A. Thompson, judge of the Circuit Court. He said Judge Thompson told him that it was not necessary to testify before the county grand jury. REPEATS COMMENT ON FEDERAL GRAND JURY. When he went into the grand jury room and told Benedum that he would not testify he said Benedum shouted at him: “To hell with the Federal grand jury, it isn’t running things up here.” The same remark was made by the foreman of the grand jury, the witness added. Judge Anderson showed great interest In the activities of the Delaware County grand jury at this particular time, hts questions seeming to indicate that he thought that body was eallej together for the purpose of finding out from witness who had appeared before the Federal grand jury as to what their testimony had been before the Federal body. Mr. Van Nnys said that he was sure this had been the case and said that Judge Thompson of the Delaware circuit court bad telephoned him in regard to the matter. Barry also testified that he had been told that if he would tell tbe Delaware County grand jury something on Gene Williams and Thomas V. Miller he would be taken care of. He said he was asked to testify that ho had sold bonds in Cincinnati for Williams and Miller. About this time Miller and Williams were under investigation for alleged connection with the robbery of banks at Spice land and Bryant. Nothing came of the matter. It Is said that Prosecutor Benedum is bitter enemy of both Williams and Miller. BLIND TIGER EVERY THIRD DOOR. L. Scott, negro policeman, was the first witness to take the stand for the defense. Like Owens be entered a general denial of the charges made ugalust him. On cross-examination he admitted that In the Muncie red light district "there was a sporting house or blind tiger about every third door."" George Fox. captain of night police, took the staud for the Government after he had '•hanged his plea to guilty. He looked tired and worn and had the ap pearance of a man who had been under a great strain. He corroborated testimony given by ; Walter Barlow, manager of the Club Cigar Store, to the effect that Captain Fox tipped Barlow off to a liquid raid to be made on his place. FOX TELLS OF ONE TIPPING INCIDENT. Captain Fox added some Interesting details about W. A. McClellan, Judge of , the city court. “Thp search warrant was made out against May Netswander, Barlow's sweetheart," he said, “and all day I had been trying to find McClellan to get him to sign it. T met him about 9:15 o’clock that night. It was May 27, 1920, and T told him I wanted him to sign if. ne j told roe be didn't have time and told me to sign it myself. When I told him I didn’t like to do that lie told me that It would be all right as long as he gave me authority." “ 'Be sure to take care of Pete,' he then told me. By Pete he meant Barlow So j I went over and tipped Barlow off.” j Captain Fox said that after he went j to work that It was arranged by Mayor ! Bunch. Chief of Police Mcllvaine and himself that no raids were to be made hy patrolmen without orders from 'ap tain Fox. The witness admitted that he would have lost his job if be had made raids not authorized by the “higher ups." In view of the testimony brought out at the present trial It is believed that the next Federal grand Jury probably : will Investigate any connection Prose ; eutor Benedum, Judge W. A. McClellan and Thomas Hiatt, sheriff of Delaware County, may have had with tbe alleged conspiracy. Valuable assistance was given the Government by the voluntary questioning of witnesses ty Thomas V. Millar, attorney, and himself a defendant who has plpaded not guilty. Time after tlmo he would bring out from a witness evidence of the most damaging character against other defendants and one witness, James Black, under Miller's questioning, testified that within the last two months he had been approached by Sheriff Hiatt and Horace Murphy, former prosecutor of Delaware County, and asked not to tell all he knew In tbe present trial. Murphy is now out on parole from the Federal ; prison at Atlanta, Ga., to which he was ecutenced by Judge Anderson i last year after having been found guilty of connection with tbe famous Muncie fake prize fight and swindle cases. FORMER CONSTABLE EXPLAINS SYSTEM. Black, who was a constable in the j court of Justice Owens, and has entered j a plea of guilty in the present caso, had told, under the questioning of Floyd J. Mattlce. assistant United States district attorney, a story of Just how the graft game was worked by Muncie officials. At the conclusion of tbe testimony Miller took him In hand and shot a few questions at tbe witness regarding Murphy. Black told a frank, straight forward story. “Murphy told me he wanted to see me and I went down to hlB bouse. He took me out in the garage and said to me, 'You don't have to tell all you know when you are down In Indianapolis.’ “I told him I would tell the truth, and then he said : " "Suppose you went down there and didn't testify to anything Bnd when you came back you got $599, would that suit you?' “I told him that I would rather have the SSOO first and he said he would see about it. Later I met him and ho said •

he guessed he would bare to drop the whole thing. SAID HE DIDN’T LIKE JUDGE. “Then Hiatt met me and told me that he wanted to get Tim Owens out of this scrape because he hated Judge Thompson, who is Circuit Court judge, so badly, and said I could help him in my testimony.” Black brought In the name of Clarence Benedum, present prosecutor, who was defeated for re-election last month. He said that after Mayor Bunch and Murphy were sent to the penitentiary by Judge Anderson that Benedum called him in and ordered him to open up all tbte gambling places and “tell the boys to go to it, that the sky is the limit.” This testimony was corroborated later by Adkins Knuckles, also a constable, who testified that Benedum told him to “go down the line, open things up, but tell them not to be too public about it.” These two former constables also had a good deal to say about the activities of Judge McClellan. Both testified that when a carnival was running In Muncie and gambling was one of the features of j the carnival that McClellan warned them J to keep their bands off. i “WHY NOT BE i GOOD FELLOWS?” I "You’ll keep on hosing around until ! you get In trouble. Why can't you go along and be good fellows?” Adkins said I McClellan told him. ] The biggest bit of humor of the dav | was supplied by Black when relating the | story of the connection existing between j Ora V. Pogue, a defendant, and Murphy. | “Pogue bored some holes in tbe door |to Murphy’s office,” Black said. ‘‘Then | be pointed them out to Murphy and told I him someone was spying on him. Muri phy then hired Pogue to investigate himj self.” ' That considerable rivalry existed among ! the crowd in gathering in the protection j money was indicated by the testimony of j both Black and Knuckles. Every Monday ! they would go after the money that had been collected from blind tiger opera- | tors by James Mabrey, who testified for i the Government; but on several oceaj sions they say Pogue beat them to It and got the cash. JUSTICE HAS | OFFICE IN HAT. Justice of the Pence Owens carried his | office around in his hat and held court ; wherever he happened to be, according to several witnesses. Harvey M. Gimbel, patternmaker, and his wife told of a raid made on their j house by Owens and Sheriff Hiatt Feb. 6, 19‘JO, when they were entertaining four ! friends and were Berving some home brewed beer. They say that Owens charged Gimbel ! with operating a house of ill fame, and ! explained that “wherever men and women ; congregate and drink beer together, that is a house of 111 fame.’ This exposition of the law came in for , ■ considerable attention at the hands of ; Judge Anderson. They said that Owens Imposed fines aggregating $123 on the \ party and when be had got ail tbe j money they had and Gimbel had prom- j tsed to attend to the unpaid balance, 1 Owens and Hiatt left the house, the j former remarking as he left. “Now you can go on with your party." j Anna Mourning testified that Owens, j Hiatt, Knuckles and Black, once came ! into the house of Fay Warner where she I was living and Owens took $93 in cash as j bond for their appearance before him. j Their cases never were called and the ] bond never was repaid. SAYS ARRESTS FOLLOWED SI IT. Here Mr. Miller took a hand again and under his questioning the witness said j that he had sued Owens for the money and that right after that she was arrested 1 four or five times and then indicted for j perjury. Judge Thompson, she said, dts- i missed the perjury charge when they I came up before him. Court Ashee. another defendant, who was indicted for bank robbery last yenr, testified that after O. IV. Roberts, special j investigator for the Department of Jus ! tire, who had a grfiat deal to do with working up and preparing the Govern- ! mnt case, came to Muncie end Asher be- j gan to drive him around in an automobile, i that Judge McClelland told him that he : would be arrested for bank robbery If he did not quit running around witti Rob- I arts. He said he did not quit and the following week he was arrested. n said that h was discharged by Judge Thompson when the case was tried. Asher said that on a previous occasion j McClellan had told him to "get the h—l ; out of town.” FORMER COP IS SENTENCED IN BANK ROBBERY (Continued From Rage One.) brought It to the Stout garage where sev oral parts were transferred. CAR CARRIED OHIO LICENSE. The evidence showed that the auto ! mobile used by tbe bank bandits in robbing the Beech Grove Bank of cash j and Lioerty Bonds bore the Ohio license j which was on Gardner's car when it was j stolen. McKinney became involved in the! car was stolen but claimed he purchased It after it had been wrecked by going over an embankment. Prosecutor William P. Evans conducted j the case for the State and Dsn Brown. j Jr. represented McKinney. McKinney Is also indicted on a charge j of being an accessory after the fact In i tbe Beech Grove State Bank robbery. McKinney became envolved in the j Beech Grove case after Shaw made a con j session to Claude Worley, special in- ! vestlgator for (he Criminal Court. RAINBOW PARTY PLANNED.

SMALL COUNSEL STILL INSISTS LAW IS INVALID Declares Technical Error in Interest Act Nullifies Indictments. WAUKEGAN, 111., Dec. B.—The State interest law of 1908, on which the prosecution of Governor Len Small on conspiracy and embezzlement charges is based, is unconstitutional, Attorney Werner Schroeder declared in closing arguments of the defense before Judge C. C. Edwards today. The defense has been contending for four days that the indictments are illegal and should be thrown out of court. Schroeder introduced in evidence the journal of the House of Representatives In an effort to prove that, in violation of the law, the Legislature did not print an amendment to the measure as originally introduced. The amendment, he said, not printed was one eliminating the emergency clause. He said that three years after the passage of the "interest act” of 1908, which provides for the deposit of state funds in banks and turning over to the State of interest earned—the Supreme Court of Illinois declared unconstitutional and void an act of the Legislature passed without the printing of an amendment. Attorney Schroeder revealed that the case on which the defense relies, together with other contentions, to knock out the indictments against the Governor, is In the case of Neiberger vs. McCullough. The act attacked by Neiberger, a tax-

payer of McLean County, was one appropriating $200,000 to the University of Illinois and the ground of attack was that the Legislature had failed to print an amendment to the bill as originally Introduced. On this ground the Illinois Supreme Court knocked out the law and criticised the State Legislature for its failure to follow the State Constitution and print the amendment. Earlier In the day, Attorney A. F. Beaubien, also of defense eounsej, attacked the embezzlement indictment, declaring that a report such, as in the Small case was “without precedent in Lake County and exceeded the legal rights of any grand jury.” Plans of the State were being informally mapped out as the defense weighed in on the last day of Its arguments for killing the indictments. Alexander Reaublen, Waukegan attorney for Governor Small and descendant of the first white child born in Chicago, resumed his arguments, supplementing points brought out by Leforgee, who completed three days of arguments late yesterday. After Beaubein concludes Werner Schroeder, head of the legislative reference bureau at Springfield, will take up the battle of the Governor and Verne Curtis, Grant Park banker and co-de-fendant. When the defense rests, Judge Claire C. Edwards of the Lake County Circuit Court will grant the request of the State that It be given until Wednesday or Thursday of next week to prepare rebuttal, it was authoritatively stated. From semi-official sources it was learned that. In event Judge Edwards refuses to quash the indictments, the trial date will be set for Jan. 3. Likelihood that tne last of the dry arguments for and against quashing the indictments would not be read into the court record until about the middle of December loomed as arguments dragged out longer than was expected. The condition of Governor Small, who suffered a slight attack of Indigestion, was reported to be improved.
