•PROBE BODY LOOKS INTO PARKBOARD Superintendent Jarvis, Employe and Others Are Questioned. # JULIAN ALSO QUIZZED Will Not Be Back for Time, According to Remy. Investigation of acts of city park employes today occupied most of the time of the Marion County grand, which, for the last month has probing charges of corruption and “Stephensonism” In Indiana government. R. Walter Jarvis, city parks\superintendent; George Adams, park board employe; L. M. Miller, employe of Charles Davidson, park board secretary, and B. F. Boyd, who works at a Standard grocery next door to a building in Flacksville owned by Davidson, were quizzed during the morning in connection with the par* board. , Julian Here Two other witnesses in the regular probe, L. G. Julian, former business associate of D. C. Stephenson, and Constable Jack Fisher were before the grand jury before it adjourned at noon, to reconvene at 2:30 p. m.' Adams and Miller, it is alleged, have been working, on the city’s time, installing plumbing fixtures on the building owned by Davidson in Flackville. They also have used a truck owned by the park board, according to charges. The two were at work at this building when a subpoena was served on them late Monday. Jarvis, called to the grand jury locin by telephone after the morning • -ion began, was questioned the t. He was before the jury for t an hour. Adams, the first ''ifffl of the morning, was fol- ? 1 by Boyd, and Fisher. Then is Went in. Miller was the next > t ?st'fy and was followed by n, Hist witness of the morning. “JHack Boxes” Julian caused much gxcitement last K with testimony rogarding two ■!; boxes” which he once had which are said to contain lmr ~ ‘.ant Ktephenson documents which :ht prove some of the corruption i ■‘.'’urges. Prosecutor William H. Remy, Ralph. Kane and Fred C. Cause, ape- | cial assistants in the probe, and ! Deputy Prosecutors William H. 1 Sheaffer and John G. Niblack were j with the grand jurors all morning. | The only person absent was Attorney | General Arthur D. Gilliom, another j special 'assistant. Itemv stated that Julian’s testi- ; money had been concluded and that i he probably would not be called back, at least not for some time.. Constable Present Constable John F. Taylor, from ! the court of Justice of the Peace I Walter Glass, talked with Remy j and was told to appear before the i jury Thursday. Just what would be taken up dur- ' ing this afternoon was not known, j Remy, on Monday, without the aid | of other members of his prosecuting r staff, announced he was going to trace some “loose ends” in the situlf-; tion and spent the entire afternoon j on thg case after the probe body ad- j journed shortly before noon. Part of the time he was not in his office, but he later conferred with Thomas V. Miller, Muncie, Ind., attorney for Stephenson, for about two hours.

Julian was not called until this morning, but put in an unexpected appearance at the prosecutor’s office shortly after 3 p. in., Monday. He spoke briefly with Deputy Prosecutor William Sheaffer, took a piece of letter paper from his pocket and it to Sbeaffer. The assistant Persecutor then went into itemy’s office and brpught out a yellow slip which he said was a telegram. 0 Sheaffer declared Julian wanted to make arrangements to meet some business associates on a private matter. , ( \Mrs. George S. Elliott, wife of the former Marion County Klan organizer, was brought before the grand jury on a “forthwith” subpoena Monday. She spent less than half an hour before the body. To Be Brought In It Is indicated that Mrs. Charles Meade, mother of Mildred Meade, young confiidante of Stephenson’s, would be brought before the quiz session to substantiate evidence give'n by Julian last week, when he said he obtained the “strong boxes” from her. She and her daughter both have been before the grand jury previously. * The search for Mrs. Martha Dickinson of Seymour continued today, both in that city and in Indianapolis. She had been located on N. Illinois St., but disappeared when wanted to appear before the probe group.

WATCH YOUR STEP ON NO TRUMP BID Work, Times Bridge Expert, Says, 'Don’t Try It Unless You See Your Way Through/ By/. Milton C. Work Do*Not Bid a No Trump Initially Unless You Have a No Trump Distribution. By that I mean size up your thirteen cards and be sure that a No Trump is your wisest declaration in view of the distribution of your cards into suits. The ideal distribution for a No Trump is 4-3-3-S; that is, four cards in one suit and three cards in each of the other three suits. Yesterday I called a blank suit or a worthless a Trump taboo; a red signal announcing such imminent and serious danger tjiat it should stopjthe declaration from being made. Today I add two more distributional types whi#h, while not bearers of a No Trump verbotten sign warn the bidder that the No Trump is a dangerous declaration, to be made —if at all—only after careful consideration. These two dangerous distributions are w’orth while singletons and worthless two-card suits. For No Trump purposes a “worth while singleton” is a singleton Ace or King; a singleton Queen is of doubtful value, and any lower singleton is worthless. A Queen with any other card makes a worth while doubleton; Jack is of doubtful value, and a doubleton containing no card as high as a Jack is worthless. I will illustrate by citing some hands: Spades; Ace. Hearts: Ace-x-x-x. Diamonds, Ace-x-x-x. Clubs: Ace-x-x-x, should be bid No Trump; the singleton Ace is w'orth while, and the “hundred Aces” is an added attraction. V Spades: King. Hearts: Ace-x-x-x. Diamonds: Ace-x-x-x. Clubs: Ace-x-xJx (our question hand of yesterday) is more doubtful, but the singleton King is~avorth while; the hand is too strong to pass, and it has no attractive suit-bid. So the process of elimination makes a No-Trump the best declaration. With a 4-4-3-2 division of the suits, there are many hands which are sound No Trumpers, even when the two-card suit is headed by a spot card, and consequently “Worthless.” Spades: 3-2. Hearts: Ace-King-Jack. Diamonds:‘King-Jack-9-4. Clubs: Queen-Jack-9-5, is amply strong enough to bid No Trump in spite of the Spade menace, but with a fair five-card suit or a strong four-card suit, a worthless dffubleton should steer the declaration from the No Trump to the Major suit, especially if it be a Major. Such hands as; Spades: Queen-10-x-x-x. Hearts: Ace-King-x. Diamonds: Ace-Queen-10. Clubs: x-x, and Spades: Ace-King-Jack-x. Hearts: Ace-King-x. Diamonds; King-Jack-9-4. Clubs: x-x, are much better Spade than No Trump bids. With: Spades: x-x. Hearts: King-x. Diamonds, Ace-King-x-x-x. Clubs: Ace-x-x-x, one Diamond is a better bid then on No Trump. In addition to a worthless doubleton, the hand contains one other “thin” suit for a No Trump; so a suit-bid is wiser. - . Now here is another type of Dealer’s hand; how should it be declared? i Spades: x-x-x. Hearts: Ace-x-x-x. Diamonds: King-x-x. Clubs: Queen-Jack-x. Answer tomorrow. Copyright, Milton C. Work.

CREDIT BUYING TO CAUSE CRASH, COUZENS SAYS v Raps Mortgaging People’s Incomes for Year or - Two. Times Washinntan Bureau. 1322 A etc York A venue WASHINGTON, Nov. J6.—The present enormous flood of buying “on time” is a menace to the country and will cause or hasten an economic crash unless it is stemmed, Senator Couzens, of Michigan, back in ftigton for the winter, said today. The buying power of the country has reached its limit as a result of high pressure sales methods and mortgages of people’s incomes for a year or two years in the future to buy luxuries, Couzens added. Recently CoUzens withdrew from an electric-refrigerator manufacturing venture because he wouldn’t sell "on time” and his sales adviser* told him it was impossible to do business successfully on a cash basis. “There probably will be an economic depression anyway, but this thing of mortgaging the future- pay for luxuries will make it most serious if precautions are not taken,” he said. “High pressure sales competition has mortgaged the consumer's dollar, and is now fighting for the dollar of next year. When they have -secured these dollars, how much further are they going to reach? What if the dollars are not received and large amounts of goods have to be taken back? The latter will efN. ter into competition with new goods, and what then? / “I have seen estimates that there is from three to eight billion dollars worth of goods bought yearly on time. There must be a thousand business companies, elaborately and expensively organized, carryfhg this business. All this the consumer has to pa# for. “He is deceived by the sales talk, by the arguments about paying out of income, and often never stops to figure out what it costs, which I estimate is from 15 to 30 per cent more than if the article were sold for cash. To the already large spread in price between producer and consumer is added this new factor. “I do not argue against installment buying of houses, sound securities, or other things which will gain in value. lam arguing against such purchases as luxuries, of things which wear out quickly.' “You cannot go on pyramiding credit and mortgaging buyers’ income without reaching the limit sometime. What if this limit is reached in such a time of business de.pression as 1921? Then there'were 170,000 men laid off in Detroit alone. What would become of their unpaid installments? “Such a crisis is sure to come. It will be bad enough anyway, but what will happen if it comes before this present craze for buying things on installment is checked?” Jutes for hunt victim 1 Funeral services for Karl Schaefer, 15, of 4248 Madison Ave., the first victim of the hunting season, Will be held Wednesday afternoon.

'BSS Sister of S ! aln Choir Singer Testifies to Witnessing Caress by Dr. Hall. Bu United Press COURTRQpM, SOMERVILLE. N. J., Nov. 1C. —For a second time a sister of Mrs. Eleanor Mills has come to court to tell secrets confided to her by the woman whose roI mance with the Rev. Edward WlieeV ler Hall ended in the now famous I Hall-Mills murder. The sister was Mrs. Marie M. Lee j of Paterson, N. J., who testified: That once she surprised Hr. Hal! and Mrs. Milts at the Mills home and saw the minister kiss her sister, Sirs. Mills jumping oW his lap as Mrs. Lee entered the i room. That Mrs. Mills told her she was fond of Dr. Hall because he was her intellectual equal. That once when Mrs. Mills was operating a motion picture machine at a church gathering the Rev. Hall came and put his hand in Mrs. Mills’ hand and she "looked up at him” and whispered something. That Eleanor told her she loved Dr. Hall and he was her ideal of a man; that he had “a way with him.” That iii 1922 Eleanor told her Dr. Hall was going to get a divorce. - >. “Did you ever see Dr. Hall kiss Mrs. Mills?” asked Special Prosecu- i tor Simpson. Mrs. Lee replied that jjhe ipd. 1918, she said, she entered her sister’s home quietly one day and saw i the rector kiss Mrs. Mills. Jumped From Lap “Eleanor jumped off his lap,” Mrs. Lee said. Mrs. Lee, resembling another sister, Mrs. Elsie Earnhardt, who similarly testified yesterday, was a simple. direct witness. She was rather plupip and faintly pretty. She wore an inexpensive fur coat and brown turban, trimmed in cloth of gold. Her ungloved hands appeared as if they were used to housework. “After you saw your sister kissing the rector, she told you their relations were proper, didn’t she?” asked Robert McCarter of the defense. “Yes, she did,” said the witness. Mrs. Lee told of her sister’s plans for a trip to Japan with the rector. Mrs. Mills spoke of the trip In the presence of her husband, the witness said. On re-direct examination Stmpson asked: # “Did you ever hear Mrs. Mills say she had one thing that Mrs. Hal! never had —the love of Dr. Hall?” McCarter objected and the question was withdrawn. Eleanor frequently discussed her love for Dr. Hall, Mrs. said. The relations of ffie couple ■were proper (Turn to Page 9) 25 COMMUNISTS SLAIN Dutch Officials Strive to Quell Revolt in Java.

BITTER TILT OVER PLANS FOR QUEEN Roumanian Consul at Cleveland Quits —Civic OH ficials Angry. Bu United Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 16.—Unheralded opposition to the city’s ■ plans for Queen Marie of Roumanian visit here next Monday kept civic circles in a turmoil tor day following a near riot in the ! council chambers. | Dimitri D. Dimancesoo. Rouman- ! lan consul here, is ‘disgusted with the" whole affair” and has resigned his post. Trouble reached a climax last night when Mayor Marshall threatened to have Councilman Peter Witt forcibly ejected from the council chamber when Witt attempted to read a protest against the Queen’s reception. ' The protest, signed by leaders of the local Hungarian colony, was in a sarcastic vein against city officials giving the Queen an “official” reception. It made no objection to receiving her as "a charming lady from another land.” The first inkling of trouble came when Dimancesco resigned charging the city council had failed to invite ten Roumanian representatives to the official banquet at the Hotel Hollenden. "thus affronting Cleveland’s 20,000 Roumnnian-Americans.” “They have made a- political barbecue out of that banquet,” Dinftancesco said. / In the stormy council session Councilman Witt hurley epithets in al( directions.

G. 0. P. HI AFTER CASH OF INSHLL Lawrence Lyons, Former State Chairman, Admits He Talked to Reid. COURT HEARING DELAYED Judge Will Hear Plea to Halt Merger Wednesday^. Lawrence Lyons, former Republican Sfate chairman, today admitted over long distance telephone from his home at Brook, Ind., that in 1924 : he talked with Harry Reid, president of tho Interstate Public Service Cori poration, about a contribution to the | Republican campaign fund from the j Insull utility interest. The Interi state is an Insull utility, j I.yuns made the admission when I asked by The Times to comment on ! a story which was being discussed i by Republican politicians in the light | of the i.uit filed Monday in Circuit Court by Corporation Counsel Alvah J. Rucker. i Rucker chnrged that the public service commission should not be I permitted to consider tho petition to , merge tha two Indianapolis electric because $19,000 was paid i into the campaign fund of Governor iEd Jackson in November, 102/1, in r return for an agreement to name commission members favorable to the utilities. Reid Silent Some of the utility men involved j have denied any such dealing. Others have refused to comment. ! Among those who refused to comI ment was Harry Reid. The political gossip about which Lyons was asked Is to the effect that Republican State headquarters j had received no contrlhutioi from : riie Insud Interests dur.ng the Jack I son campaign of 1924. So, the gossip goes, Lyons was sent to see ! about it. He was told, according to gossip version, that $19,000 had been paid and considerable surprise was expressed that the money had not reached headquarters. The cam- ' palgn expense account of Reilly C. ! Adams, then treasurer of the Republican State committee, shows no such contribution from the Insulls. I Asked what ho had to say about tlrq Ruckec charge, Lyons, over the telephone, said he had nothing to say. Heard About It The story about the trip to the Insull interets was repeated to him. “I have heard something about it,” commented Lyons. “Did you ever go to the Insulls and ask for campaign contributions?" Lyons was asked. ' "1 talked to Harry Reid about them,” replied Lyons.
