Further belay in resumption of the probe into alleged political corruption in Indiana loomed today while Charles Wheeler, 1717 N. Talbott Ave., juror, considered the idea of resigning. Last week Wheeler conferred with Criminal Court Judge James A. Collins about resigning. Collins admitted Wheeler discussed resigning J>ut said he asked him to serve as longas possible. But Wheeler declared it had just occurred to him that he might want to resign. v ' . ‘‘l’ll neither affirm or deny the report,” he remarked. ‘‘But I, do not understand where the rumor comes from. When I conferred with the court several days ago, I noticed your paper made mention of the fact*. Thinking Now “With the publicity on the matter, though, I might now really consider offering my resignation.” William X H. Sheaffer, grand jury deputy, who has been asking the jury to take up the probe begun by the last grand jury, charged “efforts are being made to stall resumption of the investigation.” Asked if he believed it was the activity of an outside group, he declared:' “I do not know.” * New Foreman Monday J.

Princeton Auto Ban Ends Student Rule Bn United Press PRINCETON, N. J., March I. For the first time since 1906 Princeton University today was without a form of student self-government, the fifteen members of the senior council having resigned last night in resentment against the anti-automobile rule adopted by the board oLtrustees. At the time the ruling W'as announced, Dean Christian Gauss said he advocated it for several reasons. Use of automobiles threatened the Princeton tradition of being a residential college, he said. More seriously, there had been seven students killed in automobile accidents during the past year. And statistics showed automobile owners to be poorer students and to have inferior records of attendance. The Daily Princetonian today advocated a student referendum to determine the undergraduates’ ideas of government. '

MOTE CONTINUES LEGAL FIGHT IN PHONE MERCER Commission Denies Petition to Merge Indiana Companies. Despite the fact that he and other officials of the Associated Telephone Company were roundly scored in a decision of Commissioner Clyde H. Jones, denying a petition for a telephone merger in northern Indiana, Carl H. Mote, Indianapolis utility lawyer,' announced today that he would either secure a rehearing in the matter or seek, a court ruling mandating the Indiana Public Service Commission to grant the merger. The merger petition was to permit the Associated Telephone Company, of which Mote is president, to purchase the Walkerton, North Liberty and Nappanee Telephone Companies for $135,000. All .commissioners agreed that this was SIO,OOO too high. The order was concurred in by Chairman John W. McCardle and Commissioner Howell Ellis. Commissioners Frank Wampler and Frank T. Singleton concurred in the denial, but he did not approve of the sermon connected with it. Permission to issue $191,000 in securities was also denied. Ten other petitions for merger of telephone companies in northern Indiana by the company are now pending. The Jones order characterized the consolidation, as “merely a promotion scheme” and took issue on the fact that the Associated securities ars to be placed in the hands of the United Telephone Company, a Delaware corporation, and holding company, over which the commission would have no control.

JAZZ MUSIC BLAMED FQR CRIME WAVE AMONG YOUNG GENERATION

Violin Maker Cites LowType Harmony as Cause of Turmoil. By Ehlora Field “Low standards in their minds, put there by low-class jazz music.” This caused the crime wave among the younger generation according to Joseph Conrath, musician and violin maker, 30 Virginia Ave., Conrath is past sixty and has had a violin repair shop in the city since 1889. “Poor music, low vicious stuff, such as the young folks hear everywhere, makes for low thinking. The musifc excites them-*-it arouses the very opposite of what music should.” / Full of Turmoil “So full of this jazzy, excited mental turmoil, they find the acions that fit with such thoughts. That’s the explanation of so much crime of this young generation,” he said. .“This could he changed, the crime wave could be turned back by good music,” ho observed. “Bringing good music to them, filling the children with It, would be like giving them good clean medicine. It would thwart the crime wave.” “Good music and good literature are what the young folks need nowadays. How can we be surprised at what they do, when we consider what wretched stuff they are fed through their ears and their eyes, everywhere they go? Happy With Violins Conrath is very happy among Ills dozens of old violins. “This is my playhouse,” he smiled. “It’s a joy to work here. God gavd me this talent, the ear to catch sounds and to make them right. I dearly love to work 'with these voices—these old fiddles as they may seem to others. To me, they are individual voices, souls. Each violin has a voice of Its own. I treat them as if they had and they respond. Why that’s the reason I’m not rich,” he declared. “When a violin comes in, I think only of restoring it,, of bringing out its fine, singing voice. It makes no difference to me how time flies when I'm working, singing, trying with each instrument. .The voice, the soul, that is there to come out, or to be righted—l forget how much money it's going to bring me.” Once a Singer Many years ago Conrath was a singer and a concert violinist. “I was born in Cincinnati. There was much music there—everywhere, and I was reared within the sound of good music. When I got sick I came here and started this violin shop, thirty-eight years ago.” To get Conrad highly excited one needs only to mention the word Stradivarias. “Fake, fab. —that word stands for fake,” lie cried excitedly. “If anybody has a violin and it’s been blistered witli heat, or in some way made to look very old, that foolish person is sure to think lie has a Strad and it’s worth a fortune.” “Thousands of persons have brought their old, cheap fiddles to me with such hopes! It’s pitiful and It's maddening. I’ve a whole box full of letters from folks who think they have Strads—some of the instruments, according to them, are older Than Stradivarius himself. With all my experience I’ve never seen a real Strad. That Strad business is one of the biggest fakes in the world,” lie said shaking his head angrily.

lice, taken to headquarters and then | herded in a body over to the court I j before Dearth. “He told us he was going to take I our papers away from us and that J we couldn’t sell them any more and | that if he caught us selling them he’d have us brought in again and put on prohibation. “So then he lets us all go to the sheriff’s office and they takes our names and we go out. I goes right back to the Post-Democrat office and gets eleven more papers. I lost three the first _time. Hand on Ilip “I went out on the street and a I big policeman—he was this Ira Pit- j tenger —starts after me. And I starts 1 running and he chases me around j the block. Finally he yelled to me j to stop and I saw him put his hand back on his gun and believe me I stopped. "Well when lie got tip to me lie says to me: “ ‘Toil’d have felt funny If I’d shot your hind end off, wouldn’t you?’ ” “And I said 1 guessed I would. The Policeman Ashamed “And he started to take me down. : He said: ‘We’ll go down the alley. I’m ashamed to be seen taking you down the street. You’re kinda young to be starting in getting taken down. “So he takes me back up to Judge Dearth’s court and they take my papers away again. They took me into ,the sheriff's office and somebody asked me 'Why didn't you run kid?' and I says I did but when this cop hero put his hand on his gun I stopped.’ \ “ ‘You’re a damned little liar,” the cop said and strikes me in the face. “Well they told me to stay around there then and my grandfather, who was with me, and me stayed around there for about half an hour. “Finally we started to go over to the elevator and some man, I don't know who he was, started out towards my grandfather and starts an argument and finally he says to ; my grandfather: “ ‘l've had enough of your lip. . Shut up or I’ll bust you one.’ “And my grandfather says: ‘Bust ahead. I've Leen looking lo get busted every time I'm in this court.’ ” Committee Applauds The committee, urged the boy to tell all his story and joined spectators several times in applauding him. Once a committeeman asked him if he had sold any more papers. “You bet,” he replied, his red hair fairly bristling. “I sold 450 papers last Saturday and I made a ; profit of $9.75.” “That's $3.75 more than you j made,” said Representative John Scott, Lake County, who filed the im-! peachment charge, to Chairman J. I Glenn Harris of the committee. Scott, who questioned the wit-1 nesses for the committee, elicited from Clell Maple, white-haired Mun-1 cie manufacturer who is interested in really cleaning up the city, the information that Judge Dearth once I started-after the sheriff: that he said j he would get a grand jury which 1 would do what he wanted done. Maple said that the judge told him he would have to appoint a siiecial prosecutor as Van Ogle, then prosecutor, would not do the things he wanted done. The court named Wilbur Ryman special prosecutor. Both these men now are defending Judge Dearth. Fourteen counts were charged against the sheriff by the court, but the judge later changed his mind and nothing ever came of them. Prosecutor Defies Judge Prosecutor Davis described how Dearth came into his office Feb. 19 and asked for an affidavit charging George Dale with criminal libel. “I suggested to the judge that that would be a good time to talk over some things I wanted to discuss with him and he staid I could discuss whatever I wanted to with him. “I then talked about his jury commissioners. One' of the first things I ran into when I became 1 prosecutor was this jury condition. I didn’t think it was right and I told the judge so. I told him plainly that I thought his jury commissioners were crooked. He Tjaid he didn’t think that they were. “I said to him. ‘They are either crooked or you are pretty dumb.’ “The judge answered: “ ‘l'm no dumber than you.’ Crooked Coirmissioners “I told him: ‘I can siiow you that they, have l>ecn crooked twenty-five times since the first of this year and I asked him that if I qould prove that would he discharge them. “He said he didn’t know about that. “I told him I would come in

Monday morning and show him twenty-five eases where there was crooked jury work. Then the judge said he would not dismiss the jury commissioners.” Monday morning. Davis said. Bfeartli called him to the bench and said: “ T dare you to say to me now what you said in your office Saturday night.’ ’ / Davis said he didn't car© to go to 'jail. No ho did not take the dare. The name o'* Jake Cavanaugh, the supposedly Democratic jury commissioner, was brought into the hearing. A committeeman asked if the story' that not even Cavanaugh was qualified to serve as jury commissioner were true. Davis replied that he had heard the story that Judge Dearth, upon hearing that Cavanaugh was not a freeholder, had caused a cheap piece of property in a poor section of the city to be transferred to Cavanaugh, but that he never had run the record and could not answer the question. Chairman Harris asked him to investigate this and also mail to the committee the records of jurors who served without owning property. Davis said he would. The Barlow Case Davis cited the Pete Barlow case. Barlow was hold responsible by the coroner for the death of a man found at the foot of the stairway of his place. “The press had been openly saying that the police department was protectmg Barlow,” said Davis. It was common gossip that the police department was protecting a lot of places. “When the grand jury was gathered together to consider this Barlow case we found the wife of the night sergeant of jHiliee, Mrs. Henry Peterman on that grand jury. I am also informed that there was a Mrs. Arthur Jones on that grand jury and that she was the wife of the chief of police. That is the chief of police's name. I never checked up on the exact relations of this woman. “The grand jury' returned no indictment against Barlow.” Davis said that once in desperation he told Dearth that the juries looked “to me like they were drawn from a poll book more than frqm the tax duplicate.” Davis said that he found one case so rotten that his conscience would not let him permit it to slide by. This was the case in which a jury 1 in Dearth’s court convicted Dale of ! criminal libel upon one Rayond War- ! ner. Davis said he found three per- | sons on the jury who were avowed i enemies of Dale. This was during j the term of Van Ogle, who preceded I Davis as prosecutor. This One Too Raw I The young prosecutor said he felt it his duty to confess error on these i jurors and filed such a pleading with j the Supreme Court, which is con- , sidering Dale’s appeal. Davis said that when the grand- | father of Johnny Haines approached him about filing an afflidavit against the policeman who slapped the boy that Dearth, ■ standing nearby advised him: “I wouldn’t file anything for this man if I were you.” Davis filed the affidavit nevertheless.

Bar Head Testifies Frandis A. Shaw, president of the Muncie Bar Association, who was present when Judge Dearth seized the papers and threatened the newsboys, read the transcript of what happened, which he had taken down in shorthand. This was the document printed in The Indianapolis Times at the time Dearth's impeachment was first demanded last week. Shaw described the jury system in Dearth's court, calling upon some of his own experiences. He declared that jury commissioners have been known to draw their own wives in ! some instances. He declared that last December be filed civil suits in Superior Court; to prevent the city treasurer from j paying some high fees to certain j city officials which were regarded as exhorbitant. He said that he did not obtain a temporary restraining ! order, because the treasurer agreed not to pay out the moneys before , l the suits were decided. Order Is Rushed /In the face of this the ‘defendants j 1 went into Dearth’s Circuit Court , early one morning, Shaw said, obtained an order to the* treasurer to pay them the money, and collected it before he even got to the courthouse that day. “I was out doing some Christmas

Bu United Press CHICAGO, March I.—Mystery surrounding the death of Mrs. Mabel Wood, 18, formerly of Evansville, Ind., whose disrobed body was found in a partly filled bath tub at a south side hotel, today resulted in the detention of three men, including her husband, but the latter was released early today, police announcing he knew nothing of the circumstances of his 'wife’s death. Coroner’s physicians said she had been strangled to death, and that although the body was submerged in the water, nc water was in the lungs. Added to the mystery was the fact that although tho young woman’s apartment was more than thirty feet from the bathroom, and ucross the corridor, none of her clothing could be found in tho bathroom. The body was found last night by the husband, Carl Wood, when ho returned from work. Unable to find his wife in their apartment, he told the police he went to the bathroom. The door was unlocked and about fourteen inches of water was in the tub. The young woman’s body was fully submerged. shopping, and it must have been all of 9 o’clock in the morning before I got over there,” said Shaw. “I guess the other hoys must have been doing a little Christmas shopping, too,” commented a committeeman.

Shaw said he had seen Dearth prepare lists of names from the telephone directory and give them to a jury commissioner. He said jury commissioners were paid $577 * last j year in Delaware County. They draw only $3 a day. Ordinarily jury commissioners are supposed to draw enough names at one time to last through a term. There are only n few terms a year. . Trouble Over Transcript Shaw said that once lie asked for a transcript 6f a case in Dearth's courtfrom the court reporter. The reporter j started to prepare it but came back , to Shaw anti told him the judge I had ordered him not to deliver it. Shaw went to see the judge. He I said the judar told him that tills j was the first time Shaw had been j before hint in four years und “I rather suspected you wanted to put me in a hole.” Then the judge promised the transcript, Shaw said. Lon A. Guthrie, another Muncle attorney, who sat as special judge in Dearth's place several times, told of having objected to Dearth about the fact that so many persons wiio had served on juries within a year being called for jury service again. Deputy Prosecutor Paul Brady corroborated v 4bc story of his chief. Prosecutor Davis. Thomas V. Miller, Muncie at- I torney, who has represented George Dale beforo Dearth, told of the | peculiarities of some of the Juries j he has had to face and said he had ! appealed about forty-eight cases i from Dearth's court, obtaining reversals in about forty. The final statement before tho j committoe wns made by Attorney* Ralph Kane, who discussed tho law 1 of impeachment and answered tho opinion of Attorney General Ayuthur L. Gilliam which held that the Legislature has no right to impeach a judge. Stands on Constitution “This Legislature lias the right to impeach. Any other interpretation would render the Constitution impractical and would nullity It,” said Kane. He pointed out that tho Constitution provided that judges could be removed after conviction of corruption or high crime, and referred to the provision that after giving such power to the Supremo Court, it gave power to remove them in other manners as provided by law. Ho called attention to the fact that the impeachment statute was passed in 1897, followed a decision of tho Supreme Court which had called attention to tho lack of any tribunal. He contended that In giving tho House power to bring charges, it created the Senate as a triul court to hear the charges. Has Full Power “If this House is convinced that the evidence shows that a judge has iieen guilty of corruption or of acts amounting to a high crime, It has full power to proceed with impeachment,” said Kane. “Any other construction of tho law would make the Constitution meaningless. There is no contention that other causes for removal may bo created. The Supreme Court is given power to act after conviction. The added authority, can bo constructed in no other manner than as giving the Legislature power to create additional tribunals In which judges may be tried and if convicted, be removed from office.” Chairman Harris and other members interrogated Kano closely and some of tho members of tho committee openly declared that they agreed with his conclusions as to tho | law.
