THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

INDUSTRIALS AND RAILS ENCOUNTER SLIGHT SETBACK Demands for Year-End Settlement Expected to Be Heavy. By li. Walter Mockler NEW YORK, Dec. 28. —Stocks started off well enough Monday, being encouraged by the unexpected ease in money, but the advance failed to get very far before running sufficient selling to check the movement very definitely. At the close both the rail and industrial averages showed moderate setbacks for the day. While call money had dropped back to per cent below the Christmas holiday, it had been expected that the 6 per cent rate would probably be restored Monday anti the outlook was for fairly stiff call money all during the present week as demands for year-end settlements are expected to be Quite heavy. Profit-Taking Much of the selling came in the leaders, which met substantial profittaking. National Biscuit dropped below par, showing a net loss of 1 point at the finish, despite the 25 cent dividend declared. Biscuit's board of directors has long maintained a policy of thejutmost liberality toward its stockholedrs and the dividend had been generally anticipated and discounted. “Gas” Unaffected During the better part of the session oils came in for a very fair share of support, i Apparently the story that International Combustion is working on a substitute for gasoline and seems to have success within reach, has not affected the natural gasoline stocks to any great extent. However, followers of Combustion are highly elated and the issue again moved sharply higher today, touching 52, an advance of six points since the story first “broke” at the close of last week. Combustion lias been working on this process for some time, according to fairly authentic reports, this accounting for the recent merging of interest with a prominent British chemical ring and also for the fact that Combustion's last financing was done in London. The market holds that eventually a commercial process for the subtraction of patrol from soft coal will be. worked out, but that the oil companies will not be seriously afiected over a short pull. This, apparently, is the genesis of the present demand for the oils in general. In the Sugar Market (By Thomson ft McKinnon) NEW \ ORK Dpi-. 28.—The steaflinesß of tho suxar futures on first notice <iay for January contracts was somewhat of a surprise, hut the action of the market, is probably explained by the better demand from continental sources. Although no sales have been confirmed so far this week, withdrawals from warehouses have keen substantial. Wo. are of the opinion that the prices will gradually work close to the 3.50 level. MAY ABOLISH MITT BODY New York Commission Would Go Under Governor Smith’s Plan. Bu United Press ALBANY, N. Y„ Dec. 28.—The all-powerful boxing commission which rules tho sport in this State would bo alobished under a reorganization plan of Governor Smith, approved last night by the Republicans.

PROSPERITY OF CANADA HELPS U. S. America Gains More Than Great Britain in Dominion. Bu Tim'S Special MONTREAL. Dec. 28.—A review j of tho year just drawing to a close indicates that United States has been the leading foreign beneficiary in recent Canadian prosperity, according to “Business Summary,” just issued by the Bank of Montreal, based on telegraphic communications from its branches. Trade in Canada is better now than in any similar period during the last six years and United States is profiting by it. . Foreign trade cf the Dominion continues to expand in the aggregate.' In the twelve months ending Oct. 31, 1926, tire total foreign commerce amounted to $2,299,000,000, or $223,000,000 in excess of the preceding twelve-month , period. From these improved Canadian conditions, the bulletin says, "the United States has been the chief beneficiary, our ; imports from that country during the year having been $96,000,0000 larger, while imports from Great Britain increased $4,000,000.” In November, gross earnings of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company rose $2,234,000 and the Canadian National Railways, - $1,132,000, and both ,roads show substantial ; increase in net revenue for the year. Canadian retail trade has felt the stimulus of *cold weather in brisker demand for furs, heavy clothing and i footwear, whilo inventories in the wholesale trade are generally satisfactory and balance sheets more gratifying than for a considerable period. A gratifying feature of the year, the bulletin notes, has been an increased immigration into Canada, continued even into October, and the return from the United States of a goodly number of expatriated Canadians. In the ten months to Oct. 31, immigration reached 122,848 persons, larger than in late years, and indications are of a considerable expansion in coming months.

BUILDING SHOWS BUSINESS GOOD Governments to Invest in New Construction. * Bu Times Special NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—The present flourishing condition of lousiness is tied up closely avith the building activity throughout the Nation and is expected to continue without any strong indication, of slackening so long as building operations are carried on at the pace set during the year. # There is an accumulation of Government, State and municipal building which has been postponed until private requirements are met and which can be counted on to off et any sharp falling off in private building. Not only has the Federal Government adopted a five-year building program involving $165,000,000, but local governments also will spend large sums for new construction. The 5-alue of contracts let in November for thrity-seven States was about 3 per larger than that of November of last year and the aggregate increased activity in certain sections is offsetting the slowing down in others. The distinctly favorable n'jney situation, the absence of most of the excesses that normally accompany a long period of prosperity and the conservative attitude most business men are taking, make Tt extremely unlikely that anything severe will develop. One\f the unusual features in the economic picture for the past two years has len the absence of any credit stvain In a period of high industrial activity. Some hold this proof that the Federal reserve banking system has permanently abolished the possibility of such stringencies in bank credit, while others attribute it to .the increased efficiency of our transportation system which has made possible the prevailing handto-mouth buying.

IURY REPORT SHOCKS CITIZENS (Continued From l*age 1) 11. Sheaffer and John L. Niblaek, deputy prosecutors; Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom, Ralph Kane and Fred C. Gause, special prosecutors. Remy said; it might take several days before the new jury could get to the investigation and that the situation “would unravel itself.” The probe started Oct. 11, after Thomas 11. Adams. Vincennes (ind.) publisher, made public charges, of corruption in State political circYes, based on letters smuggled from the Indiana State Prison by D. C. Stephenson, former ‘-‘old man” of the Ku-Klux Klan, who is serving a life sentence there for the murder of Miss Madge Oberholtzer, young Indianapolis woman. The report submitted to Judge Collins, said that charges made against certain State officials could not be sustained by the evidence presented to the jury and. although testimony given before the body mentioned documentary evidence, the latter was never found by tlie jury. Documents Not Found "If such documentary evidence exists, it has not been furnished to the grand jury, so far as State officials are concerned,” (he report said. The report pointed out that there was difficulty in locating witnesses, many of whom were outside the jurisdiction of the jury and many others whose disappearance at the times they were needed aroused "suspicion” in the minds of the jurors. It was believed the statement regarding witnesses who were out of the jury’s jurisdiction, referred to Foster Strader and Howard Bennett, former employes of Stephenson. The Times located Strader in Mt. "Washington, Pa., near Pittsburgh, and Bennett was found in Columbus. Ohio. A grand jury agent made an effort to have Strader return here, but the latter refused. He said, though, that he had the original documents in his possession while Stephenson was in the Noblesvillo jail. He said he had them photographed and returned the documents and copies to Stephenson later. Bennett revealed the names of many visitors to Stephenson’s home and the support Stephenson gave Governor Jackson in the 1924 gubernatorial campaign. The report closed with the following statement: “Any other report than tho foregoing will be impossible for the grand jury to return under conditions as they now exist in the grand jury.” Evidence Locked Up After he read the report five times and then lauded the grand jury for following his-instructions of Oct. 11,

ordering the probe. Judge Collins oidered all testimony, and copies thereof, be Impounded by the court: bailiff. The booklets of testimony then brought to Judge Collins office and locked in a closet. These will be turned over to the new grand jury drawn Monday, that will take office Jan. 3. Special Prosecutors Kane, Gause and Gilliom conferred with the court, immediately after the report was returned. Kane objected to giving up copies of the testimony that were in his possession. The court said he would order Sheriff Hawkins to seize the records in Kane’s office. Kane sent them over to the court shortly after that. Kane’s Statement Sperial Prosecutor Kano issued this statement: "I believe a different result coni'; have been reached in some vesper;.*. However', I don't wish to be understood as casting any reflections on members of the grand jury. "It was up to them to consider the facts and is to lie assumed that tlie.\ conscientiously discharge their duty. "The investigation should be continued to a point where it can be reasonably said that a thorough and proper effort has been made to as certain the real facts, it is very important if crime lias been com milted that, the perpetrators be ap prehended. Restore Confidence "It Is equally important that pub lie lie restored in ill matters pertaining to the invest'ga tion, where suspicion or doubt in - been wrongfully created. “The investigation, itself, was handicapped by conditions which tin grand jury could not control and it can well be said that a vast amount of important character has been obtained by the grand jury under circumstances, which to say the least, were very difficult and necessarily tedious. "This information will lie of great assistance in any subsequent investigation which may be instituted. Notwithstanding the fact that no indictments came from this probe, I think Prosecutor Remy is entitled to great credit for the manner in which the investigation was handled and the result lie did obtain. The people should believe that ns far ns Remy and his associates arc concerned, it was an honest effort to ascertain the real facts without regard to how any particular person or interest might bo affected by the results.” "Wilson Furnas, foreman of the retiring jury, had a long chat witli Collins before he obtained the order releasing the jury. The new jury, drawn Monday, consists of Carl Rost, William B. Burl'ord Jr., Emil Ebner, Charles H. Grimm, A. W. Antrim and George C. Haerle. Adams Aroused Adams declared tho fact that the grand jury report indicated there was “insufficient evidence” was “outrageous.” He said he will coll a group of editors together within the next few days and see if the matter of continuing the investigation will be taken up by the coming Legislature. “If Marion County wants to wallow in filth and slime of political corruption, I don’t care,” Adams said. "I’m not interested in Indianapolis, anyway, but I am going to call a group of editors together In a few days and take it up with the Legislature.” "I am going to stay on the Job until Indiana is cleaned up, politically,” Adams declared. Tuesday, tho Vincennes editor, sent letters to Legislators asking that the probe be continued. “We (the press probe committee) believe the members of the Legislature should take up the jnatter with great vigor,” the letter said. “We believe the work should extend all over the State, where necessary, so as to obtain support of all local grand juries. “We have reached a point now where the defense of the people Is tfecessary.” The jury’s report: “Pursuant to your instructions of Oct. 11. 1926, in you instructed us that serious charges had been made against public officials through the public press by one Thomas Adams, an editor of a newspaper ct Vincennes, Ind., this grand jury has examined approximately two hundred witnesses in an effort to arrive at the truth concerning these charges. “It is fair to say that these charges made against State officials have not been sustained by the testimony heard. If such testimony exists no one has thus far produced it. “Certain documentary testimony was referred to in these charges. If such documentary evidence exists, it has not been furnished to the grand jury, so far as State officials are concerned. “It is also fair to say that the investigation has been handicapped in many instances by the difficulty in locating witnesses, the disposition on the part of certain witnesses to leave the State when their testimony was desired, and tho unwillingness of certain witnesses to tell the whole truth. The movement* and statements of such witnesses have been of such a character as to invite suspicion, and to seriously impede the progress of this investigation. -v “Some witnesses whose testimony' would appear to bo important have been at all times during the progress of this inquiry, and are now beyond the jurisdiction of the grand Jury.” “We feel that their testimony ought to be heard before any final report be made on this subject by this or any succeeding grand jury. “In view of these matters, and in view -of conflicting statements of some witnesses who have appeared, the gran|l jury has not been able to come to any conclusion which they care to publish in a report at this this time. “In view of certain testimony, which has been adduced, however, we feel that the succeeding grand jury ought to continue the inquiry, and we feel that with time and diligence, a proper conclusion can be reached. To this end we would recommend that the prosecuting attorney pursue the investigation during the-coming months, until all witnesses, who have not yet been heard have had a chance t<>™ testify, and in order that all wit nesses without the State may Inproduced and testify, , “Any other report than the foregoing will be impossible for tha grand jury to return under conditions as they exist in tha grsi tory” ... u 'IS -
