FUTUREOFJURY PROBEQUESTION fOmtinned From PRge I) to point out that if this body does not complete the Investigation It can carried on by the new grand jury, Impaneled Jan. 1. Prosecutors Silent After the court had given Its instructions grand jury members. Prosecutor Rertry, Special Prosecutors Gause and Ralph K. Kane, Deputy Prosecutors Niblack and Sheaffor, who had been present, went to the jury room to consider the jail cases. The prosecutors, in Charge of the quiz, said nothing When Judge Collins gave his orders. Pointing out that only four weeks remains for the jury to do Its work, the judge said, • "I now order you to: ‘T. Investigate into the cases of all persons) in the Marion County jail on criminal charges and not indicted. “2. Investigate the cases of all per sous under ball in the county to an swer criminal charges and not in 1 dieted. "3. Investigate willful and corrupt I misconduct in office of public officials |of every description and look into any charge of extortion preferred ‘"4. Investigate conditions of poorhouses and public prisons In the county. “6. Pnibe Vldlation of criminal acts in any case over the State which is under the jurisdiction of this court." “You have devoted practically all jof your time to an investigation i under social instructions given you )ot. 11T the judge -went on to say. “Up to this time no presentments have been made to the court growing | out of these orders." He stated that there are fifty per- | sons in the Marlon County, Jail awaiting grand jury action, four of them on murder charges. The grand jury was called Oct. 11 to investigate a series of charges hurled by Thomas Adams, Vincennes find.) publisher who asserted corruption and graft existed In political and official oiroles in Indiana. Adams opened his battle a month be- : fore the giand juiy went Into session. He declared thal through letj ters of D. C. Stephenson, smuggled ! from the Michigan City prison revealed the story of alleged political | graft. Stephenson, once she highest pow er of the Ku-Klux Klan in Indiana, now is serving a life sentence for the rhurder of Madge Oberholtzer. Throughout the grand jury's quiz high officials of the State, city and county have been before the probe body. The quiz has covered the political ] and campaign activities of the Re- ; publican party and touched on those |of the Democrats, and It has peered I into the financial activties of various utility interests, alleged to have j sought to control the Indiana public service commission. The direct I moves of various politicians also ! have Come before the Jury's scrutiny. Asked Dec. 22 Report Judge Collins announced several i days ago that he planned to ask the | grand jury to make its report by | Dec. 22. Later he denied that he would be mandatory about setting j the date, but would request the jury i to “clean things up as soon as posI sible." The Jury Is entering into Its ninth j week of the probe. Saturday Remy -and his deputy. ! Sheaffer, were not In Indianapolis, I and it was not known where they were. It was said, though, that evidence was being gathered by them.

. THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CONGRESS OPENS IN PERPLEXITY (Continued From Page 1) California; Frederick W. Dalllnger, Massachusetts, and John J. Cochran, Missouri. Adjournment there was likewise taken out of respect to members who died during the recess, after resolutions similar to those passed In the Senate were adopted by acclamation. Opening day found leadors of both houses somewhat more confused than usual about what their members will oo with pending legist tlon. They have mapped a preliminary course which will assure consideration of President Coolldge’s suggestion for a temporary tax reduction on payments to be made In March, but they are doubtful what, if anything, will be done. Farm Relief Considered They are offering the farm blocs an opportunity to bring forward the McNary-Haugen price stabilization bill, or any other measure. But the blocs are not certain that they can find sufficient votes to reverse the action of Congress In killing the bill last session. They are about pending dry and wstbllls, particularly in the Senate. There is little chance of adoption of any wet measures a' this session, but the leadrs are du bio us about prospects of preclpltat ing the wet congressional lnsurrec tlon which threatens If enforce-

ment measures sought by the drya are pressed. One decisive action they have taken. The way is clbared for adoption of the Imperative Government appropriation bills In the first part of the session. The leaders are doing this to reduce the danger of a filibuster to force President Coolldge to call an extra session of the new Congress after March 4. Politically, the session bears more ominous portent than the legislative situation Indicates. Coolldge’s Future Involved There Is keen interest In what Influences the session will have on Mr. Coolldge’s expected decision on whether to seek another presidential term. His tax reduction proposal is expected to provide the outstanding controversy of the session. Likewise, activities of the farm blocs are being closely watched for possible effects upon the preliminary booms of former Governor Lowden of Illinois, Vice President Dawes and others. From the Democratic view, there is even more interest In what influences prohibition and perhaps underlying religious differences will have upon the prospective cahdidacy of Governor A1 Smith of New York. They also are anxiously watching to see how the William G. McAdoo backers In the party will swing. Socially, the session will be Just about what all “Lame duck’’ sessions are. Nine prominent names will be scratched from the Senate roll and the Washington social register when this Congress ends, March 4. But the White House dinner season al ready has opened. The night clubs are hiring more waiters, the man slons on Massachusetts Ave., which

house the social elite for a few months each year are being reopened. Tomorrow the message of President Coolidge upon the state of the nation will be read and Wednesday the president’s budget message probably will be presented. The House then will get to work
