ATTACKS GILUOM AS IT MOVES TO OBEYHIS ORDER Anti-Saloon League Will Report Under Corrupt Practices Act. Sharply denouncing Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom for hie attitude toward the Anti-Saloon Leafeue, officials of the State organization today yielded to his demand that the dry body file a report of its campaign expenditures in compliance with the corrupt practice act. Officials of the league announced that a complete report of its political activities and expenditures will be filed with the secretary of State. It wili be the first time in the history of the league, members of the headquarters committee declared, that such a report has been filed. First Time "You are the first and only at torney general the State has had who has made this demand,” the trustees added in a letter to Gilliom. "The Auti-Saloon League simply seeks to acquaint the public with wet and dry records of the cahdidate for office,” the committee declared to Gilliom, explaining its political activity in recent years. Praising Dr. Edward S. Shumaker, superintendent of the league, who now faces punishment for contempt by Indiana Supreme Court, the committee said: "He Is entitled to the everlasting praise of the people of this State and not the crticism, the slurs and the insinuations which he has received from certain sources seeking to defeat his purpose and the purpose of this organization.” Shumaker Charged Shumaker was cited for contempt by the State’s highest tribunal when Gilliom charged him with making contemptuous remarks about the court in his annual report. Signers of the letter to Gilliom were W. B. Parmer, C. H. Winders, C. M. Dinsmore. Henry B. Hostetter. Bishop H. H. Fout, M. H. Appleby, D, M. Horner, E. T. Albertson and Ernest N. Evans. Planting of vegetation in the old lake bed of Texoco, Mexico, is expected to abate the dust storms that originate there.

DEBS, A LOVER OF MANKIND, PICTURED

Main Street of Terre Haute Was a Path of Hope and Brotherhood for Noted Socialist.

By Wnlter D. Hickman Gene Debs never wanted to be a "leading citizen.” The man who died at Elmhurst, 111., Wednesday night wanted to be a "brother” to the world and to greet his fellowmen as brothers. The Main Street of Terre Haute was a path of love and hope for him. Men forgot their politics when Eugene Victor Debs appeared as a citizen. Everyone knew bim and called him Gene. He was never too. busy to shake hands. In my early newspaper days I have “covered” Debs many times. I have been on campaign platforms with him W'hen he attacked what he called “the controlled capitalistic press.” Nothing Personal After many of these addresses, Debs would throw his arms around me and whisper that he “meant'' nothing personal.” He always told me that I was on the “outside” and hoped that some day I would see the "light.” I like to remember Debs as an American citizen, a human individual. Some years ago on a cold winter night, early in the morning, I saw Lebs leave the warm cheer of a hotel. A man without pn overcoat stood shivering in the cold. Debs walked over to the man, placed his arms around him and naid as he took off his own warm overcoat, "Here take this. You need it more than I do.” Worried Wife The man took the coat as Debs resumed his walk home through the cold winter wind. I know that it was one of the great worries of Mrs. Debs, what would Gene give away 'next. During his campaign for Congressman from the Terre Haute district on the Socialistic ticket, I often went with Debs on his speech-mak-ing tours over Vigo and surrounding counties. \ On one Saturday afternoon, I went with Debs in an automobile to a coal mining town where he was to speak that night. The roads were in bad condition and several times the car was in danger of turning over. As the ear started down a slippery hill at the bottom of which was a. bridge, the driver struggled successfully to prevent the car from crashing into a horse and buggy which blocked the road. We yelled, but got no response. Found “Spooners” Debs stepped out of the car. He found a young boy and girl "spooning” In the buggy. Debs with a broad smile and deep courtesy, raised his hat and said: “I beg your pardon, I did not know we were interfering with your love making.” The couple abashed and taken

back, drove the horse to one side of the road. “Why didn'f w’e go the other way so as not to disturb a pair of lovers,” he said. ' “There is nothing more important in the world than real love," he told me. “A real home and a happy family may result from that buggy ride.” His Trip to Prison I recall the night that Debs, unescorted by any Federal officers, left Terre Haute for Atlanta, Ga., where he was to serve ten years after being convicted for obstructing the draft during the war. The station was packed with people, his followers and townspeople. In the group was a young man in the uniform of a United States soldier. The soldier made his way to Debs and said “Comrade.” Tears came to the eyes of Debs as he kissed the soldier. “Better days will come," Debs said. “War will stop. There will be no more war, but remember you have taken an oath.” With that he again kissed the cheeks of the soldier and made his way through the crowd to his train. His one sorrow was that he was to be separated from Mrs. Debs. Sobbed Good-By He stood in a train vestibule, sobbing and waving his hat as the train pulled out. I know that Debs realized the necessity of educating all people to think intelligently. I have heard him urge young men to read the right kind of books. He preached love for all men. On the platform, Debs was one of the most brilliant speakers I have ever heard. His command of English was remarkable. And yet back of all that he did and paid for. Debs, I am sure, thought he was right. WATSON DENIES KLANSUPPORT Senator James E. Watson’s denial of aiding In the seating of Senator Mayfield, Texas’ alleged Klan Senator, was announced last night. Pat Emmons, South Bend. ex-Klans-man, at the Reed hearing in Chicago, stated Senator Watson had aided Mayfield. The Indiana Senator declared the same forces that he asserts branded him as a Klan candidate for' vice president at the Republican presidential convention in Cleveland, in 1924, are hurling charges at him in the Reed nvestigation.

Hnmrick, local attorney, on a conspiracy to commit arson charge by a Criminal Court jury more thun two weeks ago. Special Judge James M. Leathers, who sat in the case, was to sentence the two today, but when they were not present in court, announced the sentencing would take place at 9 a. m. next Tuesday. They are at liberty under bond. Judge Leathers would not act on the motion until he has heard arguments. The two were found guilty of the charge in connection with the mysterious burning of their home last year. liarlkesgood POBUCOFFICIAL So Arkansas Man Tells Local Bar Association. It takes a good liar to make a good public official. That was the gist of a statement ,rr,ade Wednesday night by Harvey T. Harrison of Little Rock. Ark., in an address before the Indianapolis Bar Association at the Indianapolis Athletic Club, when he referred to “suckers” as necessary to American life. “The sucker is an indispensable part of society,” he said. "The sucker provides the means of subsistence for our liars and it is from the liars that the high public officials are drawn. "Our high public officials who. In turn, develop into expert witnesses before congressional inquiries thus must give considerable credit foi their existence to the ’suckers.’ " The next meeting of the associa tion will be Nov. 10, James Ogden, president, announced.

DEATH TAKES EUGENE V. DEBS (Continued From Page 1) he regained his sense, evidence of that invincible spirit that led him to head a cause which always seemed to fall just short of its goal came out. He asked his wife for a pencil and paper. And then with a shaking hand he scratched out the poem of Henley which ends with: “1 am the master of my fate. “1 ain (lie captain of my soul.” That was bis last message to the world. Unique Record Eugene Victor Debs was the only man ever to be nominated five times for the presidency of the United States, and the only man ever to receive such a nomination while in prison. Tens of thousands of Americans loved him and recognized him as their leader and champion; many more hated him as the enemy of the social order of the day. But regardless, l>ebs fought for the principles he thought right, even at the cost of his personal liberty. He was jailed because he insisted on living up to those principles, even when they led him to monkey with the machinery of American war-efficiency. He believed the American Government was wrong but, consistent with his expressed abhorrence of war an l bloodshed, he refused to sanction the overthrow of that or any government by force. Born in Terre Haute ’Gene Debs, as he was familiarly called, was born Nov. 5, 1855, In Terre Haute, Ind., the son of French immigrants. His parents were poor; there were many children, and his schooling was cut short after his graduation from the Old Seminary school of Terre Haute at the age of 15. He became a railroad worker, first in the shops and later as fireman for the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railroad,: now a part of the Pennsylvania system. Fears of his mother for his safety caused him later to accept a clerkship in a wholesale gro eery. In 1879 he was elected city clerk of Terre Haute. Debs’ work in behalf of organized labor was recognized first in 1878, when he was made associate editor of the Firemen*B Magazine. In July, 1880, he was appointed grand secretary and treasurer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. When he took charge of the union, the order had sixty lodges and a $6,000 debt.

added 226 lodges and wiped out the debt. ■'He resigned in 1892. In June, 1893, Debs organized the American Railway Union at Chicago. His salary dropped from $4,000 a year, which he received from the firemen’s organization, to $75 a month. In fact, there were many months when he received no salary at all. His activities in the American Railway Union marked an epoch in his career, for they included the great railway and Pullman strike of 1894. For their activity, Debs and his associates were tried for conspiracy to obstruct the mails, the charges later being dropped. He was sent to jail for six months in May, 1894, for alleged violation of an injunction issued by William Howard Taft, then a Federal district judge. In 1878 Debs made his first political speech, advocating the principles of the Democratic party. He was tendered the nomination for Congress, which would have been equivalent to his election, but he declined it. It was while in jail in 1894 that he first became interested in socialism, through the efforts of Victor L. Berger.

Presidential Candidate . Debs first became a candidate for the presidency in 1900, running as a Socialist-Democrat. The Debs vote began at practically nothing and increased at subsequent elections, his final vote in 1920 amounting to 919,799. And the last vote was cast while Debs was serving a sentence in Atlanta prison. America’s entrance in the W T orld AVar found Eugene Debs as unalter ably opposed to bloidshed as ever, lie did not believe in it; he opposed the draft. In a speech at Canton, Ohio, June 16. 1918, he declared, among other things, that “workers are fit for something better than slavery and cannon fodder.” A reporter for the Cleveland Plain Dealer heard the Canton speech. Believing It a violation of the war laws, he notified the Department of Justice. Debs was indicted June 20, 1918, by a Federal grand Jury in Cleveland. His speech was declared a violation of the espionage act. He went on trial Sept. 9. befofe Federal Judge D. C. AVestenhaver. On Sept. 13, Debs was convicted and sentenced to ten years’ imprisonment. Debs began his term April 13 of the following year at Moundsville, AV. A'a. On June 14 he was transferred to the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga, Many agencies and organizations throughout the land appealed for his immediate release. Many indignation meetings were stopped by mayors m various cities. . Finally, on Christmas Day, 1921, Debs left prison, his sentence commuted by President Harding. By reason of the commutation, though,

rather than a full pardon, Debs’ citizenship was not restored and he was deprived of the ballot. Shortly before his release. Debs was permitted to go unattended to AVashington to lay his case before President Harding and Attorney General Daugherty. He refused to plead for release, maintaining it was a matter of simple justice. During the last two years of his life Debs traveled some, delivered a few speeches, but for the most part remained In comparative seclusion.
