MISSING PAPERS AGO CHAPTER TO STEPHENSON CASE Both Sides Fail to Obtain Documents From Miss Mildred Meade. Another chapter has been added to the mystery serial running in the Stephenson case. Efforts to obtain documents alleged to have been in the possession of Miss Mildred Meade, 3523 E Sixteenth St., having a bearing on the charges brought by Thomas Adams, Vincennes (Ind.) publisher, have been unavailing. It was with these documents that Adams hoped to prove his case conclusively. Having left his home in Evansville for the ostensible purpose of making a hurried one-day trip to Indianapolis, L. G. Julian, former associate of the former Klan mogul in the coal business, has been away three days and is now in hiding. Woman Negotiates Miss Meade has for days been negotiating with both sides in the mystery tangle. She was met last Saturday evening by one of Stephenson’s attorneys and a repre sentative of a Chicago newspaper in the downtown district. Long conferences and hurried taxicab trips availed nothing, although there were grounds on which to base the premise that Miss Meade knew much of the documents. A close confidant of the former Klan chieftain, she, it is reported, was the person to whom Forest Strader, former secretary and the man who had the photographs taken of the contracts and checks, gave the precious missing papers. Repeated conferences and offers have not produced them from Miss Meade. Julian Evades Pursuers In the meantime, L. G. Julian has kept his wife, his family, Stephenson’s attorneys and newspaper men in hot water. Hurried trips, many long distance calls and secretive errands have found the pursuers just a little too late. ' John 11. Kiplinger waited for Julian In the Columbia Club for eight hours Monday and then left for Michigan City on the night train. Kiplinger appeared at tl)g prison Tuesday to see “Steve,” accompanied by a stranger who, although he was "not a relative or attorney,” was given admittance. After a visit of more than two hours both emerged and “borrowed” a taxi from Jacob Morgan, attorney, who had served the warden with the writ of habeas corpus in the proceedings to be held before Judge Sidney S. Miller, Superior Court Three. A chase to the depot found newspaper men on the platform while the train whizzed on to Chicago. Kiplinger returned to the city last night displaying a written order from Stephenson placing him in charge of civil matters in which the I’alien dragon has become enmeshed. For publication, however, the Rushville attorney stated that he had been placed in charge of all legal matters, including criminal action and th appeal. Julian has not returned to his home although his wife has been expecting him since Tuesday morning. One American boy in every ten between the ages of 12 and IS is listed as a Boy Scout.

REED QUIZ HERE IS POSSIBILITY (Continued From Page 1) to this matter I will say to Senator Reed,” said Wa!b. “I will be glad to tell Senator Reed everything I know.” lie would not, however, promise to ask Reed to investigate. Walb’s letter was addressed to Senator William E. Borah, who late Tuesday remarked in Washington that if one-half of the Adams charges ! were true polities in Indiana were iin an “awful mess,” and he thought the Reed committee had ample authority to step in. Walb’s Letter The Walb letter: "Dear Senator Borah: “Your name is being mentioned by the Indiana press in connection with the Indiana political affairs. “As chairman of the Republican State committee, I , issued a statement tills morning and am enclosing herewith a copy which I earnestly request that you read carefully. “Secretary of Labor Davis took breakfast with me this morning and we reviewed the Indiana situation completely and we are absolutely convinced that the whole situation in Indiana hinges around Senator Watson and Senator Robinson opposing the League of Nations and insisting that the foreign debt be paid. “There is evidence everywhere that international bankers on Wall Street have their money in every precinct of this State in the hands of the fakirs who prettnd to have something up their sleeves and are putting on a probe, and at every hand we see the activity of this outfit attempting to defeat our Senators and Congressmen on account of their stand in the United States Senate and Congress on the League of Nations and the payment of foreign debts. “This is the political story in Indiana." Information which Senator Borah sought from Adams regarding the charges of political corruption in the State, arrived late Tuesday. After a partial perusal Senator Borah said that the material consisted of a statement of the case’s varii us points, which were supported by affidavits. Contents Secret He did not wish to reveal any of the contents at this time or to indicate whether the accusations ex tended to others than State and municipal officials. Senator Borah said he wished to make it clear that his sole intention in asking for information had been to acquaint himself with the true situation in Indiana. He considered it his duty as a Senator to have the facts first hand in view of what might come up this winter in the Senate, and he also wished to be j fully aware of the political status in the Hoosier State, before he made any speeches there in the present campaign. Believes Reed Knows He said he believes Senator Reed, head of the Senate primary probe committees, is aware of the charges that congressional elections, in some instances, have been dictated by the Klan and therefore, would not presume to advise Senator Reed of his belief that the committee has juris-

IN THE HOME MRS. PACKARD: “Time for your Pinkham’s Compound, Eleanor.” MRS. REED: “Mother, that sounds exactly like Grandma. Remember how she used to praise it?” MRS. PACKARD: “Yes, three generations in our family have relied upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Some day you’ll be giving it to little Marjorie.”

’YT'EARS ago, a mother gave Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound to her young daughter. .The daughter married and became the mother of seven children.

diction to undertake a probe of the charges. The Senator refused to say whether what he has learned already from Adams’ charges Is sufficient to alter his plans to enter Indiana In a campaign for the re-election of Senator Watson, asserting that he would announce his decision after reading the balance of the evidence to be submitted by Adams. Borah, informed by the Washington correspondent of The Times about Walb’s let*er, said he would have to await receipt of the letter before commenting at length. Upon the statement that international bankers were corrupting the elecI tion, however, Borah said, smiling: “How do they know that?” An effort to recover the material which Adams submitted to Borah as the foundation of a Nation-wide probe was made today by Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom. In a wire to Borah the attorney general asked the return of all doeu ments pertaining to the present grand jury investigation. Gilllom’s message to Borah followed closely on a statement from the western Senator that he believed "Adams has the goods.” NEGRO SPIRITUALS TO BEBKOAMST Constitute Community Fund Program Tonight.
