Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—A defi nite program for solving the South's surplus cotton may be drafted today at a meeting between the President's cotton committee and representatives of the American Cotton Growers’ Exchange. "We have a solution worked out and every one is becoming optimistic about the future,” Allan Northing ton, manager of the Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton Association, told the United Press. Northington said financing the crop was not corfsidered a problem. He believes widespread ruin among the cotton planters can be avoided. Eugene Meyer, chairman of the Federal committee, was equally optimistic. Suggestions that farmers burn the 4,000,,000 surplus bales to cause a price rise in cotton were echaracterized by Meyer as nonsensical.

SHANGHAI CLAIMS WORLD’S LARGEST CITY PLAYGROUND Thousands Daily Visit 'Huge Park Devoted Entirely to Sports. Bu Times Special \ SHANGHAI, CHINa, Oct. 19. Shanghai claims to be the largest municipal playground in the world, a playground devoted to nothing but sport of various sorts in all seasons of the year. Daily thousands of participants journey to the recreation ground, located within ten minutes ride from the Bund and on the main artery to the residence districts. Thousands more attend baseball g..mes and cricket matches when first-class dates have been announced. A double race track, one and oneeighth miles In length, occupies part of the ground, while on the far side the Shanghai Race Club is expending millions to provide the finest racing stands, stables and club house in the Orient. Within the enclosure, as one enters is the baseball field, with grand stand accommodation for 1,000 spectators, and ample room for another 6,000 for the big interport series. Right in the center of the area are built three clubhouses, whose members play cricket, tennis and other sports during the summer. To one side is a first-class polo field, and nearby is the enclosed swimming bath. Just inside the race track, although not completely round are 200 tennis clubs, who build iheir temporary homes every summer. And within this circle is a golf course, nine tricky holes. The golf course is open in the mornings. In the afternoons tennis is played on the During the heat of summer racing is suspended. In winter soccer, rugby, football and American football supplant baseball and cricket, while naturally tennis and swimming are held in abeyance.

QUEEN VISITS U. S. SHRINES (Continued From I*agc 1) rived. Her Majesty went to the Washington tomb, walking instead of riding at her own request, and laid a wreath on it. Lunch at Mt. Vernon The party lunched at Mt. Vernon and then returned to Washington. Her Majesty wore a moleskin coat with fox collar, a small beige hat trimmed with machine stitching and made in a tam-turban shape, and beige shoes and stockings. Her dress was georgette. Princess Ileana had a rust-colored coat, with a belt. The collar was dark fur. She wore a rust-colored felt hat and “sensible” tan calf strap-pumps and beige stockings. Prince Nicholas abandoned civilian dress for a blue naval uniform with white visored cap. This afternoon at 3:45 the queen was to pay delayed respects to President Coolidge, and the President three-quarters of an hour later was to repay her call by a formal visit to. her at her country's legation. Tonight she dines at the White House. Queen Marie's coming to the Nation's capital was marked by pomp and color, but a blase Washington, accustomed to visits from the mighty of the earth, did not effedvesce except for a small group at the Roumanian legation. The dinner at the White House tonight will bo severely formal. A doze naids and a score of flunkeys, drilled for weeks, will direct the complex ceremony. Will Escort Marie President Coolidge will escort the Queen. Next will come Mrs. Coolidge on the arm of Prince Nicholas, then Princess Ileana on the arm of a presidential aids. Other guests will follow in order of their bank and station. The Queen will be seated on the right of the President; Princess Ileana will doubtlessly be on his left; Prince Nicholas will be on the right of Mrs. Cooidige. Custom demands that the former Vermont farm boy be seated before Marfe, queen consort of the ancient Hohenzollern family, is seated, and it is not often that White House tradition is broken. The best the White House affords is being made ready. The famous gold service will be used and the Madison plates are being polished. A great many fixtures now being installed have not been out of the storerooms since the last royal visits. Immediately after the dinner a general reception will be held in the east room, to which several hundred guests have been invited. These guests will include Washingtonians in all walks of social and official life jand the invitations are much in de mand. 51 RATE APPROVED Queen's Special Train Will Cost Only 527.

PENNSYLVANIANS DISHEARTENED BY POLITICAL FLOP Faith That State Could Be Redeemed Is Rudely Shattered. Bu United Press PITTSBURGH, Ta., Oct. 19.—Indignant, thoroughly ashamed, utterly disheartened. That is the picture today of Pennsylvanians, who had nursed the faith their State could be redeemed this year. Their hope, now rudely shuttered, was for an uprising back of the candidacy of William B. Wilson for United States Senator on the Democratic ticket, which would overwhelm the Republican machine, <*• nvicted of spending $3,000,000 et the May primary. The Wilson candidacy, despite the splendid record and character of the candidate, is a flop to date. Wilson’s association with E. C. Bonniwell, Democratic nominee for Governor, is the answer. .Spirit Wains There is hut a feeble flicker remaining of the fire which whipped the State following the exposure of political rottenness made by Senator “Jim” Reed’s committee. Bonniwell never has stood for anything to commend him to indeI -ndent voters. The suspicion is pronounced that he would be found, if elected, to be merely an agent of the Republican machine. Bonniwell is a judge of the municipal court of Philadelphia. It would be hard to convince most Pennsylvanians that any man could attain a place on that bench who was not entirely satisfactory to the notorious machine ruling the city. Boise Penrose, as boss of the Pennsylvania Republican machine, always figured the cheapest and easiest way to win elections was to manipulate Democratic nominations. The men now running the machine were tutored by Penrose. The machine seemingly did not worry about the nomination of Wilson, probably figured that with Bonniwell as the candidate for Governor the present situation could be confidently expected. Tour Together Wilson haj been touring the State in company with Bonniwell. There are rumors that he and some of his friends had misgivings regarding such a course, but they accepted the arrangement, nevertheless. The misgivings were well-founded. The spectacle of Wilson and Bonniwell making joint appearances has cast a heavy chili over Independent voters. Independent Republicans, who had talked of entering actively into the campaign to defeat Vare, have changed their minds. In private conversations they say they could not afford to identify themselves wtih Wilson as long as he appeared before the public as an associate of Bonniwell. Following the sensational exposure of the primary there were signs of strong independent movement among Pittsburgh Republicans. Then came a shock in the registration figures showing that only one-fifth of the women and two-fifths of the men in the city had registered and obtained the right to vote in the November election. The same story of apathy and thdifference is now coming from other sections of the State. But the big Republican machine in Philadelphia has registered its vast army in greater strength than ever.
REED COMMITTEE IN STATE PROBE (Continued From Page 1) Davis agreed with his view upon the use of money by the international bankers Is not known. Senatorial committees do not subpoena cabinet members. They have been known, however, to invite cabinet members to tell what they may know of value. Within an hour after tha official organ of Waib’s party had put his letter to Borah upon the street Oct. 12, Boyd Gurley, editor of The Times, dispatched this telegram to Reed: “Tonight Chairman Clyde Walb of the Republican party, in an open letter to Senator Borah given to the press, said: " ‘There is evidence everywhere that International bankers of Wall Street have their money in every precinct in this State in the hands of the fakirs, who pretend to have something up their sleeves and are putting on a probe and at every hand we see the activity of this oikfit 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 the foreign debts.’ A Grave Matter “The Times submits that this is the gravest charge yet made in any campaign. “It submits that the evidence of such a conspiracy of debauchery, if it exists, can only be properly obtained by your committee. "In the name of the people, not only ofr Indiana, hut of all States, I ask that you bring your committee to this Stnte and investigate this grave charge. "The Indianapolis Times, "BOYD GURLEY, Editor.” Following this, Indiana citizens of high standing presented other charges of grave import to Senator Reed, urging him.to give the citizens the benefit of a sweeping, public inquiry into the scandal which has been rocking the State for the last two weeks The matters which other citizens presented related to the Federal aspects of affairs now being investigated by the Marion County grand I jury.

DEPUTIES FAIL TO FIND LG. JULIAN (I'ontinmied From Page 1) paper from Miller and promptly disappeared. .She did not reappear until Sunday. She refused to tell newspaper men where she had been. While she was gone her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Meade, admitted to an Indianapolis Times reporter that Mildred had had some documents, but insisted the had sent them away. Attorney Called Russell V. Duncan, local attorney, was the first witness before the grand jury this morning. Dncan was a member of the House of Representatives during the last Legislature. J. W. Ebaugh, also a Marion County Representative in the last Legislature, was the second witness. Their appearance before the jury was believed to be the beginning of a probe of Stephenson’s activities during the session of the Legislature. A number of other legislators are to be called. Subpoenas have been issued for appearance of B'red O. Butler, formerly Stephenson’s secretary, and Miss Margaret Reynolds, also said formerly to be employed in the exKlan chief’s office.

turned a little later to inquire around the courtrooms for Herbert Hartman, local attorney. Beckett refused to say whether or not Hartman was to be called before the jury. In the meantime Thomas H. Adams, chairman of the probe committee of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association, whose disclosure of letters smuggled from prison by Stephenson, one of which is now being reproduced in The Times, started the corruption probe, was absent from the city. After a conference with special Prosecutor Ralph K. Kane, Adams left late Monday for an Ohio city in search of a witness, from whom* he hoped to gain information on the Stephenson case. Kane declared this morning that he had gijen Adams permission to disregard a subpoena recalling Adams before the grand jury. He denounced a statement that Adams was seeking to avoid appearing before the grand jury, printed in a morning newspaper. Miss Maxine Elliott, 2003 N. Harding St., was recalled before the grand jury Monday afternoon. Miss Elliott, former stenographer in Stephenson’s office, testified first before the investigating body Friday. Previous to her first appearance !n the jury room she admitted to The Times that she had seen a number of checks made out by Stephenson to politicians, but she refused to disclose the names of the was believed Prosecutor Remy re called her in an attempt to force further disclosures. She was before the jury for an hour Monday.
AIR OFFENSIVE ON RUM SUIPS Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Within two weeks the coast guard will begin anew air offensive against rum ships. f Rum runners used to discharge their cargoes about twenty miles off Shore until coast guard cutters made that practice dangerous. Now cargoes are discharged from 100 to 300 miles out at sea. Last year the coast guard borrowed a small pursuit plane from the Navy and found that it could detect rum runners lying far out and summon patrol boats to picket them. It asked Congress for five of these planes to extend the experiment and the request was granted. Sconcing over the ocean has proved hazardous. There are no markers to guide planes and the Navy pursuit plane carried only three hours’ supply of gasoline. Several times it returned to shore with only enough gas to fly five minutes longer. The new seaplanes will lie larger, carrying about eight hours' supply of gas. The five planes are to be stationed on the New England coast. If effective, the coast guard will ask for planes for Florida, Puget

PASTOR TELLS OF HIS TROUBLES AS ‘SENATOR*!’ Says League Head Agreed to Back Independent, Then Indorsed Smith. Bu United Press FEDERAL BUILDING, Chicago. Oct. 19. —Tho Rev. Robert O’Brien. Chicago Methodist minister who en gineeredhe independent Republican candidacy of Hugh S. Magill in tho Illinois senatorial race, revealed his troubles as a ‘‘king maker” in his testimony today before the Senate Campaign Funds Committee. O’Brien, called as the first witness in today’s session of Senator James A. Reed’s one-man inquiry into Illi nois politics, said that he promoted several candidates to oppose Frank L. Smith before finally deciding upon Magill. O’Brien said ho went to Safford because he believed a "great moral leader” of Safford’s typo would be interested in seeing Colonel Smith's candidacy shelved because of Smith’s acceptance of public utilities slush * fund. At that time Safford, who later indorsed Colonel Smith in the name of the league, agreed that Smith should withdraw from the race, the pastor said. According to O’Brien, he suggested to Safford that the league prevail upon the national Administration to give Smith a good, well-paying job. "Safford said that was interesting and that perhaps he eould do something about it,” the witness said.

Washington St., abqut two squares away, and have breakfast and another conference regarding political affairs before we would start out on our trip. A Very Secret Meetiifc "One day during the campaign, Jackson, Stephenson and George Coffin had dinner at Stephenson's home and had a very secret conference behind locked doors. After that I received instructions from Stephenson not to permit anyone to interrupt them or come near enough to overhear their conversation. “One Slundny afternoon, during the latter part of February, 1924, Claude Worley, now inspector of police, and Mrs. Worley were at Stephenson’s htfme and Judge James Collins. “After lengthy conversation, pertaining to the folly of the prohibition law, Collins indicated that he had to leave, hut before he left he was particularly admiring one of Stephenson's oriental rugs. "At that time Stephenson promised him the rug, which was a blue Oriental rug, valued at about SI,OOO. Worley Frequent Visitor "Worley visited Stephenson's house several times. He was a very frequent visitor at the home of D. C. Stephenson. "Also at various times, I have met about half the members of the Legislature either at Stephenson's offiee or at parties held in his home. "On several occasions I had seen Stephenson in conference with Clyde Walb, Republican State chairman; Bert Thurman, Senator Watson’s stanch supporter in Indiana; Senator James E. Watson, Willis B. Dye, Daily McCoy, Mrs. Vivian Wheatcraft, and on two occasions I was sent by Stephenson to the Severin Hotel with cheeks.” Charles Ross, president of the Rainbow Tire and Rubber Company at. Columbus, Ohio, told of an interview with Governor Ed Jackson con eernlng the case of Bennett, who had been indicted and sentenced for six months on a penal farm on a charge of bribery. Bennett was alleged to have received a bribe from Fred Slater, confessed Indianapolis bootlegger. Slater had testified that Bennett caught him with whisky and accepted $lO9 not to arrest him. Doillits Expressed "Judge James Collins, who son tenced Bennett, and Governor .Tack son both expressed grave doubts as to Bennett's guilt in the case, but said that owing to the fact that Ben nett was formerly connected wltn Stephenson they were inclined to be lieve that public sentiment wa* such that they could not interfere." said Ross. "When I went to Governor Jack son I had credentials for Renner: from high State and city officials. They spoke of Bennett ns an ‘honest and highly efficient officer, who ha* served on the Columbus police department for ten years and whose integrity was unquestioned.’ "Judge Collins said he gave Ben nett the minimum sentence because lie had grave doubts as to Bennett's guilt.” IOIORGAN SIGNS PROTEST Bu United Press BERLIN.
