B.—Eighty years igo today the other famous son of Wheaton. 111., was born.This fellow-townsman of Red Grange, today sat in his offices on lower Broadway and did "business is usual” and the business he did was that of one of the greatest industrial institutimis of all times. For Wheaton’s other famous son was Judge Elbert H. Gary, head of the United States Steel Corporation. Born on a farm at Wheaton, Gary went through the Wheaton schools, worked in a country store at sl2 a week, became cler kof a small court and by 1898 had come to New York as president of the Federal Steel Corporation. Two years later the United States Steel Corporation was organized with Gary at its head. During the last year Wall Street has seen rumors that Gary would retire, but today on his eightieth birthday he came to his office as usual. While he has not said so in so many words, he has given the impression that he proposes to carry on as long as the spirit is in him: that he is far from ready to give up a life already crowded with some sixty years of activity.

Hiram Wesley Evans, imperial wizard of the Ku-Klux Klan, in a statement given out by W. Lee Smith, grand dragon of the Indiana Realm, today declared that D. C. Stephenson, whose charges of graft in government are being investigated,, was banished from the Klan in 1924. The statement was Issued because "charges made by Stephenson unjustly reflect on the integrity of the Klan and call tor on explanation from the Klan leaders.” Evans denied the Klan is involved in any '"of the Stephenson charges. Evans states he removed Stephenson from office as grand dragon, Oct. 1, 1923, when he was relieved of all official connection with the order. Stephenson was banished by a Klan tribunal following trial on immorality charges at Evansville, Evans said. "At no time during Stephenson’s connection with the Klan was a political election held in Indiana,” the statement said.

B.—Re ceding flood waters and slightly warmer weather today gave the flooded district of central Illinois hope for early relief. The overflowing waters which have torn away levees, washed out bridges and wreaked havoc / with' crops and cities along the banks of the Illinois River and Lost Creek for several days have begun to recede. However, with the recession in the depth of the water, there came swifter currents which carried debris against windows that broke panes and let the water into heretofore dry places. It is expected that normal commu nication will be restored in the flooded area by Saturday. Conditions in otner parts of central Illinois were somewhat improved to day, with the fall of the rivers.

Sawyer is only 19 years old, anc". was plucked off the Baltimore lots last spring. He will report to Norfolk next spring.

ADAMS ASKS REAL STEPHENSON QUIZ (Continued 'From Page 1) tronage in return for his political support in the municipal primary of 1925 was false Threatens Suit Duvall said that the signature upon this photograph was a forgery and he could prove it by experts. He said he would sue Adams. The Indianapolis Times and a Chicago newspaper for libel. Referring to a purported agreement denied by Duvall, to the effect that the mayor would appoint only persons having the indorsement of Stephenson to the board of works, l.em H. Trotter, Republican member of the board, today said: “I know nothing of any arrangement of that nature. I first was invited to serve on the board of works by Roy C. Shaneberger, board president, who long has been a frientj of mine.” Meanwhile Adams went right ahead with plans to get to Stephenson. He announced that his committee of editors would meet today with the six State Senator;? with whom he has been cooperating and discuss plans to go to the Stale , Prison and demand to see Stephenson. in view of the Governor's declaration that he desires an investigation. It also was likely that the Senators would discuss Adams' suggestion that a special session of the State Senate to conduct an investigation be called. Either Senators or the Governor could call such a session.

Remy Waits Prosecutor William H. Remy, who Thursday afternoon called for any evidence anyone may have of corruption declared .today: "Lm waiting to see what Adams and others are going to do. If they don't start something soon I am going to start something on my own hook. I already have done several things on my own hook.” Adams issued this statement: "To the people of the State of Indiana: "I have noted the statement of the prosecuting attorney and tl*e mayor. I am not now concerned as to what action they may or may not ♦ake. 1 believe that evidence of all kinds in this alarming conspiracy against constitutional government should be and must he carefully conserved. "I feel there is so much to do that a higher power than local official authority should act. "I do not believe that any poweri in Indiana can reach this cruel thing at the bottom, but one thing alone, j and that is a special session of the | Senate of Indiana, which should be called forthwith. They must find authority to appoint a nonpartisan probe committee to thoroughly Investigate every vestige of the scandal. The corroborative evidence, beside the documentary evidence, is overwhelming. No grand Jury, in my opinion, will reach to its vitals now. Appeals to People "I appeal to the millions of people in the State to back me in this demand for a special session in order to secure the actual safety of this information. "I demand that Stephenson be brought to the bar of inquiry now and that he be allowed to talk immediately. "In our appeal for admission to the penitentiary, Warden Daly closes the door and defies public opinion. "In conclusion I can not permit myself to be trifled ith by any local authority, because I know that the conspiracy against the highway commissioners resulted in framed indictments in the Criminal Court. Tho papers were Impounded, but later re leased? and have not been seen since. "Mr. Remy has had considerable evidence for more than eight months, wherein was disclosed that bribes were offered, his own death knell sounded, and yet his office has not been ready ‘to do his full duty’. "The avalance has started and whoever gets in its way will be covered up. "T. H. ADAMS, "Chairman of Probe Committee.” Attorneys to Meet Members of the firm of Miller & Walterhouse, Muncie attorneys, will confer today with Court Asher, for mer airplane pilot of I). C. Stephen son, in regard to an appeal to the Indiana State Supreme Court for a new trial for Stephenson on the carge, Asher announced. Asher said the first step will be to obtain the transcript of the trial at Noblesvilie from Ira M. Holmes, former attorney of Stephenson, who, according to Asher, has refused to yieid the transcript. Part of the record of proceedings is in Noblesvilie and part in the office of Holmes, according to Asher. The strategy of young Roosevelt was dramatic atLagrange Saturday of last wgek; he had refrained from appear ing on the same platform with Senator Arthur R. Robinson in a meeting booked at Evansville. His speech last night which brought about the first indication of recognition of the corruption charges was made at La Grange, home of State Chairman Walb. When he arrived at La Grange, Roosevelt, who evidently had been keeping in touch with the situation •in Indiana, retired to his room in i the hotel and carefully prepared a ! statement of what he had to say on corruption in Indiana and the attendant graft charges. Then Roosevelt called into confer-/ ence tho Governor, Walb and leading Republicans of the district in which the State chairman makes his home and read to them the statement which he had prepared andasked sardonically for their approval. The approval was granted, for they knew if there were the slightest obpectlon that Teddy, Jr., with all his father’s vigor, would have plunged into a denunciation of corruption, crookedness and rottenness in politics which could only have been construed as an attack on the men who would be seated on the platform with him. The pledge of Jackson is not all that Roosevelt or the voters of Indiana could have wisher for. In introducing the speaker. Jackson made the following statement to the held in

connection with the annual La Grange County Corn Show: “If there has been any wrongdoing the citizens of the State who are interested in good, clean government want to know about it,” the Governor said. “There will be an investigation to determine whether any officials who have received commissions of the people have betrayed the trust placed in them.” What the Governor failed to state was who would be appointed to do the investigating or when the investigating body he promises to appoint will bte appointed and begin to function. Taking his tip from the action of Governor Jackson, Attorney General Giiiom at once rushed to cover by sending word to Thomas H. Adams, Vincennes publisher, and instigator of the charges made public which Adams states can be proved by Stephenson in the form of documentary evidence, promising tiie influence of his office to the in vestlgation of graft charges on the part of any office holder and asked that the evidence be brought to him. Gilliom made no offer to go outside his own office to the hiding place of D. C. Stephenson, former Klan mogul now serving a life sentence for the murder of Madge Ober-

LENA CAN’T CHARLESTON, BUT OH BOY! / Bud Stillman Says Bride-to-Be Is Wonderful Girl — and Cook? Ah! Bil Titles Special > PRINCETON, N. J.. Oct. B.—She can’t Charleston, she doesn’t smoke or speak much English, and she hasn’t any pretty clothes, but—Oh boy. what a girl! And oh, how she can cook! This epitomizes young James (Bud) Stillman's description of his prospective backwoods bride from the timberlands of Quebec. Bud, the son of the-banker, James A. Stillman and heir to the Stillman millions, consented to be interviewed about his romance with Miss Lena Wilson, the girl who occasionally helped his mother in her famous home at Grand Anse. Parents Approve Lena, who has the approval of both Mr. and Mrs. Stillman, i( the daughter of a Scotch-Canadian lumberjack, now dead, and is one of a | family of seven feirls and three boys 1 who live near the Stillman estate in ; Quebec. “What does Miss Wilson look like?” the interviewer asked young Stillman. “Well, she's blonde, you know— j about 18,” replied Bud. The marriage, Bud revealed, prob- j ably would lie in June. “Is she a tall girl?” he was asked. | “Well, now, I can't say,” Bud j frowned, as if trying to figure it out ‘‘l really couldn't say accurately how tall she is. I don't know her height. Known Iler Always "I’ve known her almost always, I guess. She lived in the house next to my mother’s up in Grand Anse. I’ve known her ever since she was II years old.” Bud's age is 22. "Is it true that her brother, John Wilson, was a witness in your mother’s %vse?” "Oh, that law case? Yes, he was a witness. He was a witness for mother.” "In what capacity did Miss "Wilson serve your mother?" May Attend Game "I don't know just what you would i call her, that way. She just—well, just sort of helped around the house, you know. She and Mom will be in New York some time around Nov. 14. I want to get them here to see some football.” This raised the possibility that the future Mr. and Mrs. James A. Stillman. Jr., would mAke their first public appearance together in these parts at the Yale-Princeton game, Nov. 13. She Likes to Fish Bud explained that "we’re thinking of getting married in June, after I graduate,” and that after that he would take up the study of medicine. "She is a backwoods girl and she likes to fish and hunt,” the young man went on. "She docs not do the ‘Charleston’ and of course she does r.ot smoke. "But she does do the square dance well. So do I. We danced It together while I was up/Tiere.” Plays Accordion "Has she any musical talent?” “Oh, yes—she plays the accordion and the mouth organ very well.” Bud thinks Lena will like New York. "What gave you the idea that she is the sweetest girl in the world?” somebody asked. "Are you married?’! Bud demanded of this reporter, who was. "Well,” Young Stillman asked with finality. “How did you get the idea about the girl who is your wife?” Bud supposed his mother would handle arrangements for the wedding. Wants Quiet Wedding “A man likes a quiet wedding.” he observed when asked if it would take place in a church. “Can she cook?” A reporter asked, reverting to Lena. "Can she?—Oh boy!", exclaimed Bud, his face lighting up. "Does shd like pretty clothes?” "I don't know —she • never had any.” Lena's education was received at a small schoolhouse in Grand Anse conducted by a liun. To Attend Harvard Her future husband's present plans will take him to the Harvard University medical school when he graduates here. Thus the twain probably will live in Cambridge, Mass. Young Stillman is a stocky youth with clean-cut features, a strong Jaw and sandy, curly hair. His clothes are not pretntlous and he is a class favorite because of his demeanor. Last year he rowed on the second varsity crew and played on the water polo team.

holtzer, former Indianapolis girl. The State's chief legal official asked for documentary evidence which the convict at Michigan City edn and will produce according to the word of /^dams. Likewise Gilliom discussed charges which had been made by inferential counter charges saying that they were political in nature. Complimenting the Governor for his announcement that an investigation would be made, Roosevelt said: # "Where we have found wrongdoing among our own people, we have undertaken to punish the of fender, and not to shield him. Here in Indiana I notice through the papers a situation has arisen where accusations of the gravest sort are being made. There is one sound way and only one to deal with a condition of this kind, and that is to open it up and probe it to the bitter end; and if any should be guilty of corruption, graft or other improper conduct, to see that they are brought to justice. “The longer you keep an abscess unlanced, the deeper the poison strikes in the body. The longer you keep political corruption or misbehavior unexposed the deeper the rottenness strikes into the body politic. We attacked graft and corruption when we find it in the ranks of our opponents. It Is doubly important, should it exist in our own ranks,
