Here is the certificate of incorporation produced by Indiana State Vegetable Growers’ Association officials to prove the vegetable grow, ers were incorporated and could have received the SI,OOO appropriation voted by the Legislature.

Three members of the Indiana State Vegetable Growers' Association appeared bfore the executive session of the Indiana Senate late Monday and dispelled all doubt in the solons’ minds as to whether or not theirs is an incorporated organization. Speaker of the House Harry G. SAYS ALL HAVE DESIRE FOR GOOD Paul Harsch, Toledo, Ohio, Lectures at Keith’s. Paul A. Harsch, C. S. 8., of Toledo. Ohio, member of the board of lectureship of the mother church. The First Church of Christ, Scientist, spoke today noon, at Keith's. The lecture was under auspices of the Second Church of Christ, Scientist, Indianapolis. Lester F. Lewellen introduced the speaker. He said in part: “Deep seated in the heart of every one of us there dwells a desire to know more about good, a yearning to attain to the secret place of the Jlfbst High, to that point of understanding whereby good may be brought more largely and more specifically lijto daily experience and there retained and used, “Primary, the desire for good, for the guidance and control of all intelligent mind, God must exceed all other desires. The seeker for divine good must be able to say with David, ‘As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee, O God.’ Such desire is prayer. A prayer that is always answered. There are no exceptions.’’ ‘ABIE’S IRISH ROSE’ WINS First Showing in England Stirs Audience lo Enthusiasm. Bit United Brens MANCHESTER, England, March 29.—A capacity crowd stood up and cheered at the end of the first performance in England of “Abie’s Irish Rose’’ here last night. The critics looked glum. The enthusiastic reception of the audience and complaints of critics that the play is oversentimental, were strikingly similar to the first night of the play in New York back in the dim mists of theatrical antiquity five years ago, so the box office looked hopefully forward to the prospect of cracking a few English records. The play will open in London soon. FORD COLD TO SHOALS Bn United Press WASHINGTON, March 29.—Henry Ford, motor magnate, was reported today to have given Muscle Shoals development advocates here to understand that he does not intend to submit anew bid for the great Alabama water-power works nor to attempt to get action on his previous bid unless Congress asks him to do so. His present indicated lack of Interest in the devopment was regarded here as tending to strengthen proponents of Government operation, though at this time there is no sure sign as to what Congress’ temper on the subject will be when it assembles In December. POLICEMAN SHOOTS MAN Bn Times Snrrinl FRANKFORT. Ind.. March 29. Virgil Edison, 24, went to a bakery snd begged for fbod. After eating, he demanded money. The baker called police and Edison was arrested. On the way to the police station he struck the officer, who shot him in the hip. He was not seriously hurt. i

Leslie took the blame because a Senate budget bill amendment giving the organization SI,OOO did not appear in the bill as signed by the Governor, saying the amendment was held out because the organization was not incorporated. Investigation in records of the office of Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeier at first bore out this testimony. But H. D. Brown and F. C. Gaylord, Lafayette, and Ivan Morris, Terre Haute, officials of the organization, appeared before the Senate Monday and presented documents showing that application had been made for incorporation papers as a non-profit organization and the certificate of incorporation signed by Schortemeier on Jan. 13, 1926. That convinced the Senators. Cravens and Senator Aionzo H. Lindly (Rep.) Kingman, farm bloc leader, found the records. Representative Frank Wright, employe, who had sought them before, explained that he had been looking for the Indiana Vegetable Growers, rather than Indiana State.

Story About the Big Asphalt and Concrete Men

They wondered a bit at city hall today whether they should see Bill or George. The suspicion that William H. Armitage, maker and breaker of city hall folks in the Shank administration, was regaining a foothold grew. Chester C. Oberleas, dismissed as city civil engineer by Mayor John L. Duvall with no explanation Monday, declared that Armitage was responsible. “Bill Armitage and his gang were after me,” said Oberleas. “It was simply another concrete against asphalt war.” Oberleas thought he had the backing of George V. Coffin. Republican county chairman, hitherto known as the boss of the city hall. Coffin had a long conference with Duvall immediately after the mayor gave out the dismissal of Oberleas, but today the annormcment that Frank C. Lingenfelter would assume the $8,500

CENTRALIZATION, DRY LAW WORK, REED’S TARGETS Missouri Senator Impassioned Speaker Before Michigan Democrats. Bn United Press DETROIT. March 29.—Senator James A. Reed, Missouri’s fiery Democrat who has waged his Isittle as chief counsel in the - Ford-Sapiro libel suit here in a leisurely, calm manner, appeared before 200 Michigan Democrats with an impassioned, three-hour attack on centralization of national power and dry law enforcement. “Concentration of power means concentration of tyranny and corruption,” he said, referring to the prosecutions of former Attorney-Gen-eral Harry M. Daughety and Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior. “Daugherty has been a lobbyist and corruptionist all his life. “In the face of ill! our disclosures, in the face * f the Senate's demand for Daugherty’s resignation, President Coolidge sat as mum as an oyster and with about the same countenance.” "I say that the people of this State can better be trusted to run their law enforcement business,” the Senator said, speaking of prohibition, “than Wayne B. Wheeler, or any set of men down in Washington.” TRUST FUND IS SOUGHT Friendly Suit Planned to Obtain $20,00 for Colored (Indians’ Home. County commissioners today planned a friendly law suit to obtain $20,000 held in trust for the Colored Orphans’ Home by trustees of the Indianapolis Asylum for Friendless Colored Children, to be used for erecting a chapel at the Colored Orphans’ Home.

The Indianapolis Times is proud of its children. It wants you to know the folks who make the paper something more than ordinary, the folks ivho make it a thing of flesh and blood, almost—a welcome interesting visitor in your home, a personality. Today The Times introduces:

mF the comic art editor for a big newspaper syndicate hadn't had to rack his brains nightly to think of bedtime stories to tell his three children, the popular children’s comic, "The Tinymites,” probably never would have come into existence.

The art editor in question is Hal Cochran; the syndicate is NEA Service, Inc., of Cleveland, which supplies comics and news feattures to some 400 papers all over the country. Hal has three youngsters. Every night it was “Please, daddy, tell us a story.” So Hal invented a long chain of

Hal Cochran

of happenings that befell a queer rare of little people called the Tinymites. The youngsters ate it up. So one day it occurred to Ilal that what his children liked, other children would like, too. Accordingly, lie called Irving Knickerbocker, one of the NEA staff artists, into conference and outlined the scheme. Knickermorker did the sketches and Hal wrote the stories—and the stunt made an instantaneous hit. Just to dress the stories up a little Hal puts them into verse. This isn’t as hard—for him—as you might think, as he has been writing light verse for newspapers for many years. Hal, incidentally, is about ns busy a mortal as you'd care to meet. All of the comic strips sent out by NEA Service pass through ills hands, subject to any corrections or changes he may se fit to make. And that, if you care to ask, keeps linn busy. But every morning “The Tinymites” is Ills first job.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

a year title of city civil engineer Friday still stood. This appointment was one of the things that city hall folks who remember their political history wondered about. This and the fact that Armitage used to make ’em and break ’em—and Bill never has relinquished the little office in the Castle Hall Bldg., across the alley from the city hall. This was where folks went when they wanted something during the Shank regime. They recalled that Bill was promised something for delivering the Fifth and Sixth wards —Negro districts—for Duvall, despite the mayor’s KuKlux IClan, affiliations. Bill modestly disclaimed responsibility for ousting Oberleas. “I wish to gosh it was true,” he said, “but It isn’t. This follow Duvall and I don’t team together. But, say, he did pick a good man in that

DENY KNOWING PLAN Dillnn-Hoad Claim No Knowledge of Durant’s Motor Project. lilt United Press NEW YORK, March 29.—Officials of Dillon, Read & Cos. today denied they knew anything about William C. Durant’s reported plans to link important motor manufacturers in a huge merger with Durant's interests. The hanking firm issued a statement which said: “Dillon, Read & Cos. have had no conversations with Mr. Durant with reference to a merger of automobile companies, nor have they any information concerning any such undertaking by Mr. Durant.” Ml ROBBERS FACE TRIAL IRE Chicagoans Implicated in Mail Theft Charge. William J. Fahy, former Chicago i postal inspector, and James Murray, former Chicago politician and beer runner, now serving twenty-five-vear sentences in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga., for implication in the Rondout (111.) mail robbery, are to be brought to Indianapolis soon to answer charges made at the Federal grand jury here. They were alleged by Joe and Jessie Newton, Chicago, to have been involved in the $35,000 robbery of a mall messenger at Indiana Harbor, May 10, 1924. Certification of the grand jury indictments were prepared here Monday and sent to AGanta, holding Fahy and Murray for trial at expiration of their terms. The effort for early trial, as reported in dispatches from Chicago, is to block a move to parole the pair long before their sentences expire. Federal authorities believe.

man Lingenfelter. He’s on the square. He’ll make a good man for the mayor.” This only added to the city hall bewilderment. A few weeks after Lew Shank became mayor in 1922, Armitage was made agent for the Barber Asphalt Company. They mine Trinidad as phalt. It was all regular, according to Bill. He was to get something like $1.50 a ton commission on each ton of asphalt laid in Indianapolis. Thousands of tons are laid annually. Soon afterward the board of works directed John L. Elliott, then city civil engineer, to change street specifications. Elliott got the idea that if the specifications were changed the way the board wanted them, contractors could bid uixm nothing but Trinidad asphalt. He declared he wouldn't do It. The hoard of works cannot adopt

Guthrie as new jury commissioner was questioned in some circles here today. Guthrie is county road superintendent and his appointment as jury commissioner makes him hold two county offices, it was pointed out. Guthrie is road supervisor of Liberty Township, and his appointment as jury commissioner makes him hold two county offices, it was pointed out. Guthrie immediately came to Muncle and, with Jacob D. Cavanaugh, Democratic commissioner, took 108 new names from the tax duplicates and placed them in the jury box. jUI the old names were taken out. Among the charges filed against Dearth was that jurors, who were not freeholders and whose names did not appear on tax duplicates, had been permitted to serve in his court. Guthrie succeeds Miltohn G. Davis, who resigned March 1 to become tax assessor.

Shank sat on the fence for several day's. Then the late Mrs. Sarah Shank, who wielded more actual power than any woman ever in Indianapolis politics, sided with Elliott. The mayor stood by him. Armitage and the board gracefully retreated and all was peaceful for quite a while. At the end of that summer. Bill announced he had thrown up his job as Trinidad agent. He carried the check for his summer’s commissions around with him as a souvenir for several weeks. The check was for only $l9O. Onlj’ one street, a section of Washington Blvd., was paved with Trinidad. A year and a half later someone discovered that Elliott had borrowed

They clamored from the funny tub as clumsy as could be. Then Coppy said, "We're Tinymites, just running ’round to see the sights, and watching you within that tub was really great to see.” "Ho, ho! Ha, ha!” The men laughed loud. “We’re glad to meet your little crowd. It must be fun to run around, with nothing else to do.” N ”And who are you?” wee Scouty cried, and then, one of the ■ men replied, "The butcher, the baker and the candle stick maker, too.” And then he offered them a ride.

$6,000 from Armitage for a private business venture. Elliott frankly admitted it and asked what of it, wasn’t he paj-ing it back, with interest, in small sums out of his salary? Criticism followed and Elliott resigned. Shank named Lingenfelter to succeed Elliott, rounding out an odd cj-cle. Elliott had been Lingenfelter’s assistant during the Jewett administration and Shank had ousted Lingenfelter to make way for Elliott. No one heard of friction between Lingenfelter and Armitage during the rest of the Shank administration. What business Bill was in was quite a mystery. He announced he had sold his poolroom and he good naturedly denied that he was the power behind another man who was agent for a certain kind of street curbing, a story which kept bobbing up. Quite a lot of this curbing was used.

Eddie Diggins Not Accident Victim, Coroner Holds. BODY FOUND AT CLUB Lloyd Hamilton, Film Comedian, Present. Bn Untied Press LOS ANGELES, Marcli 29.—Scandal rumors were Revived in Hollywood today with the verdict of a coroner's jury that Eddie Diggins, movie stunt man and former boxer, was stabbed to death. His body was found early Saturday in the Crescent Club, a tearoom by day and alleged barroom at night. When police broke into the establishment, Lloyd Hamilton, screen comedian, was holding Diggins’ body in his arms. A few feet away was the unconscious form of Charles Meehan. Broken glass and furniture were scattered over the room. Shock Over Report The film colony members received the coroner’s report with something of a shock. Both the district attor-nej-’s office and the police department had put down Diggins’ death as the accidental outcome of a hislipped and fell on a sharp sliver of larious “party.” The police theory that Diggins glass during a “free-for-all” fight seemingly was substantiated by pieces of broken glass in his clothing. The coroner’s jury held, however. that Diggins met death “by a sharp instrument.” Tells of Phone Call Police today were attempting to verify a telephone call received from an anonymous woman late yesterday. The woman called Sirs. Slarion Diggins, young widow of the dead movie man. Mrs. Diggins quoted her as saying: “I ki ow who killed Eddie, and I will tell you in a week if the police don't get him before then.” Arm and Whistle System Approved The present arm and whistle traffic direction method on downtown corners is working fine and the board of safety will be asked to make the sj-stem permanent, Police Chief Claude F. Johnson said today. Two weeks ago the board, on recommendation of Johnson and Traffic Captain Lester E.

He continued to confer frequently with the board of works. Every one in city hall knew that he carried kej’s to sonic offices and came and went as he pleased—which was often. As to this recent paving war, Oberleas would liave it that Bill still is a “big asphalt man.” The asphalt men have not cared nyuch for Oberleas since be 'new specifications a few weekd ago. These require an inch more concrete base under asphalt paving and consi* lerably less concrete in concrete paving. Asphalt street costs went up and concrete down, making the bidding tough for the asphalt interests—when property owners had anything to say about it. Bill will not have it that way. “I’m not doing anything just now,” said Bill. “I just keep that office of mine to have a place to loaf around in.”

CHINA CONSIDERS USE OF BOYCOTT, IN WORLD TRADE Even Removal of Chief Port From Shanghai Studied by Leaders. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, March 29. China, according to diplomatic information today, is about to open an economic war to compel the powers to accept the nationalist program for treaty equality. The massed navy and marine forces of America, Britain, Japan and France in China are likely to be countered by the best organized economic warfare the world has yet known, unless the leading nations try soon to tranquilize Chinese opinion, accofding to well-informed Chinese quarters. The weapons of this war, they say, will be twofold: Firjt, the deliberate shifting of population and commerce from present ports to other cities; second, the systematic commercial boycott. There are indications that Chinese leaders, as an extreme measure, have already contemplated possible shift of Chinese trade from Shanghai to a point on Hangchow Bay. This plan is said to have originated by the late Sun Yat-Sen. Hangchow Bay Is said to possess natural advantages over the present harbor Shanghai. TWO HELD OP BY ARMEO BANDITS Motorist Halted Turns Over Watch and $215. Two daring hold-up men escaped police Monday night, after staging filling station and roadside robberies. Pete Stevens, 29 S. West St., told police he was driving near Thirtieth St. and Lafayette Rd. when a bandit car swerved in front of his auto and forced him to stop. Running to his auto with a drawn revolver, the bandit, Stevens said, ordered him to get out of the auto and walk a short distance down the road. There he was relieved of $215 and a watch valuel at $65, he told police. The bandit ran back to his auto and drove toward the city. Albert Workman, attendant at the Standard filling station at Virginia and Woodlawn Aves., ran out to serve a customer who drove in the station about closing time, and faced a revolver. “Give me your money and none of that funny running-back-into-the-station business goes,” the bandit said as he took the $lO handed him/ and drove away.
