“WHERE ARE WE AT?" ASK STATE POLITICIANS IN MUDDLE
Republicans Realize They Never Will Hear Last of McCray, While Democrats Wonder What Effect Klan Will Have, By FELIX F. BRUNER. While officials, courts and the public generally are giving much of their attention to the McCray financial imbroglio, politicians are taking stock and attempting to determine “where they are at” in the most serious political muddle encountered in Indiana in years.
The G. O. P., In the first place, realizes it will never hear the last of Governor McCray. He •will be thrown into their teeth with demoniac glee by Democrats from now on “until the sands of the desert grow cold.” ** Therefore, the recent meeting of the Republican State committee in which it was the hope of party leaders that they could “shake McCray.” They wished to be relieved of responsibility. Rut McCray out-generaled them at every turn and they retreated in disorder. .Save the Party Then along came the statement of John Moorman, friend of McCray, to the effect that everybody in general, including Senator Watson, Postmaster General New, James P. Goodrich, and even President Coolidge himself, were endeavoring to crucify McCray on a cross of ill-gotten gold in order to save the party from the stigma of a great agricultural failure under a G. O. P. administration. Goodrich came right back, hurling the “short and ugly” word. He hurled more than that in the statement as first written, hut on second thought and in response to the pleadings of friends of the Governor, he censored it, blotting out one paragraph full of fire and brimstone. Then the President of the United States sidestepped, adding to the con fusion and the necessity for explanations. For a few hours things became more or less peaceable. Goodrich Hurls a Bomb Then Goodrich hurled a bomb. He went up to Winchester, his home town, and made a speech. In that speech he said a few choice words about Ed Jackson, Secretary of State. He said Jackson had indorsed the R. L. Dollings Company, now most utterly defunct. To prove it, Goodrich STOP ITCHING SKIN Zemo the Clean, Antiseptic Liquid, Gives Prompt Relief There is ine safe, dependable treatment that relieves itching torture and that cleanses and soothes the skin.

produced an ancient magazine published by the Dollings Company, in which Jackson was quoted as making highly laudatory remarks about the concern at a banquet of Dollings salesmen. Jackson has, or did have until Goodrich made his speech, ambitions to become Governor of Indiana. Suddenly he saw visions of a few thousand Dollings stockholders pointing iccusing fingers at him. Whereupon, Jackson came back and attempted to put Goodrich in the same class with Dollings. The State securities commission, of which Jackson is the head, declared a company of w'hich Goodrich was the head had paid dividends it did not earn. Goodrich sent a lawyer over to the securities commission with a lease indicating everything was regular. Now the securities commission is divided on the subject of Goodrich and his dividends.

‘lf Margaret Will Still Have Me I’ll Go Back When Out of Prison,’ —Wagner
By RUBY WEIL. H ' FELLOW starts out without half a chance if he doesn’t have the love of his mother and father.” Thus expressing the tragedy of thousands of broken homes, Harry Wagner, 28, in county jail, told how ho happens to be facing charges of vehicle taking and failure to provide for wife and children, with polygamy charges as a possibility. “I'm going to play square,” said this man, who admits he is the husband of Mrs. Lucille Oberle, 639 Luett Ave., and Mrs. Margaret Wagner, 527 N. Noblo St. “If I have to go to prison I’ll be as good a prisoner as possible. “Then, if Margaret will still have me yvhen I get out I’ll do anything on earth for her. She’s the only one I ever really loved, I know now.” Through With Clara Wagner denied that he ever knew Miss Jessie Tayior, 18, of 640 Porter St., who made affidavit to detective that she married him in Indianapolis Oct. 17, 1921.

Wagner’s trial on a charge of stealing the automobile of Ernest Deppe, 466 Agnes St. will be held in city court Friday. He pleaded not guilty, and said Deppe had given him permission to drive the car to Bowling Green, Ky. “I went to Bowling Green to bring back my cousin and his family, who were moving to Indianapoils,” the prisoner said. “Just as we were ready to start I was arrested. “My grandmother, Mrs. Isidor Oberle, and her husband, brought me up,” continued the prisoner in a low voice. “She was my only friend. My mother, who was divorced and remarried, lived in Indianapolis but never came to visit me. She lives in Florida now. I used her name ufitil I grew up. Then I took my father’s name.

“When I came to Indianapolis in July, from Ardmore, Tenn., where Margaret and her famiyl lived, to care for my grandmother just before her death, my first wife began to tell people I had another wife. I had married Margaret on St. Patrick’s day. “Then, when I found out I was not divorced, I knew I could not bring Margaret up here. I told her I would take her and her mother and two other daughters to some other city. “They insisted on coming here. When we got to Louisville, I left them and came to Indianapolis alone. I didn’t want to face the bigamy charge, because I knew I was guilty but wasn’t to blame. They came to Indianapolis, too. “I’ll take what's coming to me! Then, if I'm still healthy. I’ll start all over—with Margaret, if she still loves me.” Poison Victim Improves. Castel.na Burse, colored, 13, of 1604 Martindale Ave., is improv ng today. She took poison Thursday.
