TELLS CONNECTION OF'OLD MAN’WITH ELECTION IN 1924 \ Cox Says*Every Republican Put in Then Owes Victory to ‘Steve.’ "Every candidate elected on the Republican ticket two years ago owed his election altogether to D. C. Stephenson,” Charles E. Cox, former State Supreme Court judge, who assisted in the prosecution of Stephenson on the murder charge on which he is now serving a life term in prison, declared at a Democratic meeting at 1.12 14 S. Audubon Rd Wednesday night. Cox briefly sketched the political phases of the Stephenson case Involving Republican officials, and then said he regretted he did not have time to go further Into the matter. Cries of “Go on!” came from many hearers in the audience, and Cox then launched into a full discussion of the scandal that has rocked Indiana. Details Conversation Cox detailed a conversation with •loe Huffington, Evansville Klan lead- • r, in which Huffington said he went o Governor Jackson’s office and apealed to the Governor to cut loose f rom the “Old Man,” who had then been thrown out of the Klan. Jackon was handed a compilation of Stephenson's life activities, but refused to read it. Huffington told Cox. Jackson said “Stephenson has done more for me than any other man and I cannot turn him down,” according to Huffington, Cox stated. William D. Headrick, Democratic candidate for Congress, followed Cox in a discussion of the tariff and declared that the Republican assertion 1 hat high tariff brings prosperity in IF YOUR STOMACH KEEPS YOU IN MISERY, DON’T GIVE UP HOPE OF RELIEF; READ THIS!

SENATOR REED NAILS ‘CHICKEN FEED ’ LIES The Indianapolis News quoted Senator James A. Reed as saying that his Indiana investigation had produced only “chicken feed.” Here is the public rebuke administered by Senator Rqed: “I did not say that the Indiana investigation was chaff and chicken feed. I did say that minor matters, left undone when I was compelled to leave, were. “I think the investigation proved conclusively that the chairman of the Republican committee put out a deliberate falsehood and was utterly discredited. “Walb said the State was being flooded with money at that time, Oct. 12, and what he meant was a lot of cheap pamphlets. Then it was discovered that the office from which the pamphlets were distributed closed July 1. “I would not make this statement, but since some Indianapolis newspapers have misquoted me, I feel in duty bound to clarify the situation.”

its wake can be easily answered by any person who careA to go to the employment gates of Indianapolis factories and note the hundredo of unemployed who huddle about the gates looking for jobs. More Meetings The Democratic central committee has announced additional \vard meetings for tonight in the First ward, at Roosevelt Ave. and Rural St. and at Sixteenth and Sheldon Sts. in the same ward, at which Headrick and Charles Sumner Williams will speak. Three meetings are scheduled for Friday night in the Tenth, at 3402 Prospect St.; in the Fourteenth ward at Blaine and Kentucky Aves., and in the Second at 2455 Central Ave., at which Evans Woollcjn will lie the headliner. The Democrats will close their campaign Saturday night with a big meeting at the Murat theater.

lIY TURNS TO AF OF CITY (Continued From Tage 1) excused McCord and told him to wait in the witness room. Moore was before the jury for three-quarters of an hour before that body adjourned for lunch. Others Wait Others subpoenaed, who waited in the witness room during the morning. were William Rusie, city fireman; John Taylor, constable, who has been awaiting a summons lnvo the sanctum for more than two days; N. A. Russell, a former constable, and Walter Weekly of Holton, Ripley County. • While Moore was being questioned, William H. Sheaffer, grand jury deputy, came out of the jnry room with a piece of paper, said to have had a Ku-Klux Klan letterhead, and conversed with McCord. Weekly, during the nooh recess, told Nibiack that he had some Important letters and papers at home, but that he had not brought them to Indianapolis with him. It was not known whether or not he would be sent back after the papers. A subpoena was issued for Lieut. F. F. Knachel, attorney and commandant of the Naval Reserve Corps here. Knachel, it is understood, was attached to the office of the reporter of the State Supreme Court for some time, up to about 1924. Harakas Case Henninger’s appearance before the jury suggested the possibility that the grand jury is investigating State pardon board affairs. It was Henninger who secured a parole for Nicholas Harakas, son of Michael Harakas, who 'owns a restaurant at 306 Indiana Ave., and stood by the boy after he later was returned to Indiana State Prison, where he is serving a ten year term for robbery. Harakas now is in the same chair factory in which D. C. Stephenson was a workman until his corruption charges started to emanate from the prison. Stephenson -then was removed from the chair factory. He is in solitary confinement. The youth originally was sentenced to the Indiana State Farm for a theft, seven years ago. He then escaped, was captured, and was sentenced to the Indiana State Reformatory, then at Jeffersonville. Harakas was one of several prisoners who about two years later made a break for liberty, in which a guard was another guard beateh and robbed. He, however, escaped a murder indictment, and was given the ten year robbery term. Then, through the recommenda-

tion of the Rev. Mr. Henninger, the sentence was reduced to make Harakas eligible to parole or pardon in five yearss. Two Paroles Suddenly, late this summer, Harakas appeared in Indianapolis and it was explained by Governor Jackson that he had given the youth a thirty-day parole. When this expired, it was extended for thirty days. Harakas’ father said the Governor planned to keep extending the parole until Jan. 1, when Nick could be set free permanently. On Friday, Oct. 1, however, guards took Harakas back to prison and C. C. York and John C. Chaney, Sullivan, other pardon board members explained that they had urged the Governor to revoke the parole, since they felt that the board had been victimized. At the time of Harakas' return to prison Henninger told how the boy had left $lO in his home suggesting that the money be used for church work. Henninger said ho returned the money. Because of bad cold, Judge James A. Collins was absent from his bench in Criminal Court, but he announced that he would name Attorney Charles Wiltsie as judge pro tern., to act in his absence. As judge pro tern., Wiltsie would receive any grand jury report or indictments. Collins came to the courthouse this morning, but announced he was returning to his home at once on his physician's orders. . He said he had cancelled all campaign speeches and probably would not be able to resume his duties for ’several days. Leslie Called Harry G. Leslie, speaker of the House of Representatives of the last Legislature, was expected to testify before the probe body today. It is understood that Leslie has a copy of a letter supposedly written by Stephenson in prison. Charles R. York, of the State board of pardons, also was to testify. William Boyce Jr. was the last witness before the grand jury Wednesday afternoon. While he was being questioned at the opening of Wednesday afternoon’s session of the grdnd jury, William H. Armitage, city hall political mentor during Mayor Shank's administration, refused to answer questions of the grand jury on the grounds that the question would incriminate him. Armitage Questioned The grand jury, Armitage and the prosecuting staff appeared before Collins, and Prosecutor Remy said Armitage would not answer a question asked on the ground it was his constitutional right to refuse. Judge Collins ruled that Armitage should answer the question and that it would not incriminate him unless he should give false testimony, which would be considered perjury. . Thomas Taggart, former mayor and United States Senator and Democratic leader; R. Earl Peters, State Democratic chairman, and Charles Greathouse, Democratic national committeeman, testified Wednesday morning. Richard Baker, Philadelphia, Pa., said t& have been associated with Stephenson in organization work, also testified. Until recently he lived fn this city and worked for the same' company that employed Miss Mildred Meade, former confidante of Stephenson. She disappeared recently when the grand jury quiz opened and did not reappear for twp weeks.

DECLARES ADAMS UNDERPRESSURE TO HELP WATSON Campaign Chief for Defeated Candidate Expresses View. “If Claris Adams speaks for Senator James B. Watson at Rushville, Friday night, it will be because the Watson forces have taken advantage of his position as the defeated candidate in the primary.” That was the comment today of B6rt Morgan, manager of Adams' campaign against Watson in the senatorial primary. “I know that Mr. Adams has no desire to speak for Watson; in fact, he has dodged efforts of the Watson supporters for some time," Morgan continued. • Previously Sought “I know they had hoped to have Mr. Adams speak at Bedford last week, but I am practically sure that he did not fill the date.” Republican State headquarters announced that Adams would speak at Rushville Friday night under auspices of the G. O. P. speakers' bureau. Adams now is legal counsel for a national association of insurance men with headquarters in St. Louis. Attacked Watson During his race against Watson last spring, Adams waged an offensive campaign, drawing attention to the record of "sterile statesmanship” of Watson, his career as a lobbyist, his weakness as a candidate, insincerity as an opponent of the World Court, and said Watson was reported to have declared “the farmer will be satisfied with a bag of peanuts.” Supported nearly altogether by persons who were opposed to Senator Watson, Adams scored 127,000 votes in his race against the Senior Senator 6 STUDENTS ON ‘A PLUS’ HONOR ROLL AT S.

MOMENTOUS MARS DISCOVERY HINTED Mystery of Planet May Be R evealed When Calculations and Measurements Are Verified.

Bu United Prei The world, busy with its affairs, is taking time to explore the mystery of another planet. No concrete results have been announced yet, but there was a general feeling of expectancy It has been explained, moreover, that a momentous discovery may be made, but will not become apparent perhaps for weeks, until calculations have been made and measurements verified. In England, great interest was aroused by efforts to communicate with Mara by radio, and to listen in for possible signals from that planet.
