BOOK INTIMATES ‘HUSH FUND’ FOR STEPHENSON Anonymous Author Pictures Ex-K!an Head's Life From Linotype Machine to Murder Cell.

Intimations that a fund aggregating SIOO,OOO was used to “defray the expenses to accrue in the purchase of certain —well, let us say, manuscripts" are contained in one of The chapters of "The Mad Mullah of America,” a book to appear soon by an, anonymous author, dealing with the activities used to hush the charges of Indiana political- corruption made by D. C. Stephenson, former Grand Dragon of the Klan. Taking the life of Stephenson from the time that he served as a linotype'’operator iri Kansas until he entered a life cell at the prison in Michigan City for murder of a girl, DARROW LAUGHS AT SELF Noted Criminal Lawyer, 70 Years Old Today, Gives Views. Bu r nited Press * CHICAGO, April IS.—Clarence Darrow, noted criminal lawyer, a human being who laughs at himself and his ideas and then laughs at his own laughter, is 70 years old today. And while nearly 2,000 of his friends prepared a huge fete in His honor here tonight, Darrow gave the United Press an interview, telling how—not why—he had achieved three score years and ten. He also set forth his ideas on modern movements, and among the things he said was that the world is in the grasp of a “materialism which may engulf it in another dark age." Intolerance Gains ‘‘We are turning to materialistic usage the fine scientific discoveries of the nineteenth centurr," Darrow said. “We are doing nothing ourselves. The tide of ignorance and intolerance Is rising. There is no original thinking being done. But we are not, as some believe, on the brink of another war for the reason that the world is too tired.” In telling of his life and its lessons Darrow made the following characteristic points. He believes he has lived long mainly because of luck and- partly because he indulged in pleasures "blue noses” term harmful. He never went to college and he believes any study that does not help one to live and feel the bigness of life Is valueless. Life for Pleasure Life is a pursuit of pleasure and an avoidance of pain. He is inclined to agree with Henry Ford that most history is "bunk” He is certain that. knowledge of Latin and Greek is ‘‘useless.” He thinks the youth of America is probably the best the world has ever seen. He has enjoyed life and his joy has been greatest when convincing audiences of the final unimportance of man and the universe and the probable absence of God.

the author flits from one phase to another, linking him with such men as Governoi; Ed Jackson, Mayor John L. Duvall, Dnitoi States Sen- ; ator Arthur R. Robinson and Republican County Chairman George V. Coffin. Letter From Watson A chapter is devoted to a letter alleged *to have been written to the former Klan mogul by Senator James A. Watson. "Have we no longer men with us? God give us men!" Such was Stephenson's ejaculation when he read a letter from Indiana's senior Senator. The letter is reported in the book to have been written deploring the action of Milton Elrod, former editor of the Fiery Cross, Klan publication, when he announced at the Republican national convention in Cleveland in 1924 that Watson was the choice of the Klan for Vice President. The letter, the anonymous author states, “says that the writer (Watson) was not only willing but glad to do all he could for Stephenson and* the Klan, but that he wished to remain under cover.” Tells of Banquet Discussing the time that the Stephenson charges were put before | the public in September, 1926, the I author who uses the pen name of Edgar Allen Booth says: "Very shortly after the Stephenson charges, including the charges of existing contracts, supposed to then be in the custody of a Stephenson agent, were heralded to the world there was a banquet held at the Lincoln Hotel in Indianapolis. The banquet was attended by Dr. Hiram 'Evans, a numher of high Klan dignitaries, and certain Indiana politicians. The banquet was held during the interim which existed between the time the charges were first made public and that time when newspaper representatives were permitted to see Stephenson. "At this banquet in Indianapolis, the writer understands, a large purse was taken up. It is under-, stood that it approximated SIOO,OOO and was to be used to defray the expenses to accrue in the purchase of certaln-r-well, let us say. manuscripts. Whether or not the purchase was made, the writer will not attempt to say. “Pictures” Coffin “In a few days following the ban-1 quet, reporters were allowed to see Stephenson.” Although the book states the contrary, newspaper men never were permitted to interview Stephenson in the prison. How Coffin rushed into Stephen_ son's office and, greately excited, cried. "We did it! We did it!” when he was elected Republican county chairman is graphically told in the book. In the foreword the author, after explaining that the narrative is written without "malice or ill feeling toward any person whose name may appear,” says: . . . many who joined were the unwitting tools and dupes who formed a mighty political machine which has been and is now being used by designing men for their personal aggrandizement and their foul appetites for gold and power.” HOPWOOD HERE TONIGHT Cleveland Editor to Address Newsper Men at Banquet. “Better Journalism," will be the topic of Erie C.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COOLIDGE, HID DAIS DEFINITELY IN DING FDR 1928 Fess Statement for President and Religious Pronouncement Cited. Bn United Pr'-sx * WASHINGTON, April IS.—Two huge political hats were flung into the presidential campaign area over, the week-end—President Calvin Ooolidge's and New York's Governor, A1 Smith's. Politicians here today accepted as conclusive of the Coolfdge and Smith candidacies the Fess statement that Coolidge would run again and the Smith reply on religious questions. Senator Fess (Rep.), Ohio, sometimes known as the “Coolidge spokesman” in the Senate. Issued a statement declaring the Prresident would be a Republican candidate next year and would be re-elected. He argued against validity of "third term” objections. Held Clarifying Facts • Governor Smith's letter answering Charles C. Marshall's interrogations of Smith as a Cathode was read here as an attempt to clear away religious controversies whichl might beset Smith's path to the Democratic presidential nomination. Smith emphasized lie was not writing as a candidate, but politicians held his answers would tend to clear the atmosphere as far as religious questions were concerned. Political leaders here say the fight for 1928 is narrowing more and more to President Coolidge and Governor Smith. Smith Democrats here believed the South is showing more inclination for him, though his wet and religious views may still prove a stumbling block there, they admit. Bid for Farm Vote President Coolidge's support of a new farm relief measure last week is deemed significant in the campaign to run him again next year. The President has sought to make it appear he was merely supporting Senator McNary in a move to get a new farm relief measure, but it is known McNary was consulted in advance by the President about framing such a measure. His farm relief move was taken as a definite counter to the Frank Lowden boom in the West. The first reaction J;o the Smith letter in Washington was that the New Yorker had at least made a good case for his own loyalty to the Constitution. View of G. O. P. Paper This feeling was reflected by the Republican Washington Rost, sometimes deemed an Administration mouthpiece, which said: “No one who reads his (Smith’s) letter can doubt either his sincerity or his loyalty to both his country and his church. He shows that loyalty to one is not incompatible with loyalty to the other." Representative Edgar Howard (Dem.), Nebraska, declared that while he had not been an advocate of Smith's nomination, he found the Governor's reply a “forcible and correct statement of the position the loyal American should taake in any controversy between his country and his church.” ’ Likened to Roosevelt A Jew, Representative Sol Bloom (Dem.). New York, said every American should read Smith's letter, which he compared with some of Theodore Roosevelt's letters on similar subjects. “Only A1 Smith or Theodore Roosevelt could have written it,” Bloom said. “If an election were held tomorrow, A! Smith would be elected overwhelmingly.” ORDERS WHITING PAVING Highway Department Lets Contract at Cost of $28,135. Contract for paving Indianapolis rtve.. Whiting, to the Chicago line, one and three-tenths miles, was let today by State Highway Director John W. Williams to Ahiborn and Lavene, Hammond contractors, for $23,i35.92.

After some litigation the Chicago, Hammond and Whiting railway tracks have been ordered moved to make a thirty foot paving on each side of the tracks. PATROLMAN~SUSPENDED Charge of Unbecoming Conduct to Be Filed as Result of Accident. Charges of conduct unbecoming an officer are to be preferred against Patrolman W. M. Hansford, 190712 College Ave., at the board of safety meeting Tuesday, according to Major of Police Louis Johnson. Hansford was suspended by Capt. Herbert Fletcher, Sunday, after he had been taken to the office of Sheriff Omer Hawkins by Deputies Wagner and Bell, who investigated an auto accident at Stop 4, W. Marris St. The Hansford auto collided with one driven by Edward Bowers, 1043 W. New York St., and Bower’s small son was slightly injured. CHARGES MIDDIES DRINK Judge Tells Grand Jury Liquor Bought by Naval Students. Bu United Press ANNAPOLIS, Md.. April 18.—That illicit liquor traffic is so flagrant in Annapolis and Annearundel County that midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy blacklisted bootleggers because of high charges during the Christmas holidays, was among the declarations of Judge Moss in charging the grand jury at the opening of the Circuit Court for Anneraundel County today. The jurist asserted that notwithstanding he has previously directed attention to "deplorable conditions,” no apparent effort has been made to ge# at the “big fellows” engaged in thV illegal traffic.

HUNT KNOT EXPERT IN MURDER OF GIRL BABY

... 1 . .. *

Above: The brown sweater worn by the murdered baby, whose body was found in Eagle Creek Sunday. Below: The brick tied to the body to weight it under the water.

Officers Seek Clews as Infant’s Body Is Taken From Eagle Creek. A little brown wool sweater, pieced together today by an undertaker, may lead to discovery of the identity of the 3-months old girl baby, whose body was found in Eagle Creek, near Fifty-Fourth St., Sunday afternoon. And identity, authorities believe, would lead them to the door of the petson, who sent the infant to its death, a rope around its body tied to a brick to weight it down in the vvater. The murderer, in the belief of Deputy Coroner A. Toles and Deputy Sheriffs Reagan and Brown, is skilled in the ways of knotting rope. That the crime was committed by man is official theory, because of the perfectness of the slip knots which had been tied to hold the body and the brick secure. Found by Boys That the crime is recent is substantiated, officers declare, because of the condition of the rope, part of a clothes-line.i The body was found Sunday afternoon in Eagle Creek, at Fifty-Fourth St., west of the Lafayette Rd., by three boys fishing in thf* stream. They called Henry M. Cross, 3132 Kenwood Ave., who was walking near by. He notified Sheriff Omer Hawkins, who ordered officers to the scene. The body, resting on a sandbar. was recovered and taken to the Royster & Askin funeral parlors. The boys left without giving names. The body, badly disfigured by the water vva3 clothed in garments wellmade, but torn by the current. A white dress, white stockings tied with silk ribbon and the little sweater were held by- the coroner for purposes of identification. The body was that of a healthy welldeveloped baby. '■ Skull Fractured A skull fracture puzzled officers. They were unable to determine whether the' fracture preceded the hurling of the weighted body into the stream or an object in the vvater caused it. The murderer employed every effort to keep the body under vvater. This is shown by the method of rope tying and niches cut In the brick to keep the rope from sliding off. The rope was tied tightly beneath the babv’s arms. Condition of the body indicated it migffit have been in the water from two weeks to several months, although the condition of the rope indicated the crime was recent. Heard No Cries Residents of the vicinity say they had seen no one loitering near. Officers believe the crime was committed at night. Whether the babe was dead when thrown into the creek is a matter of official speculation. Officers favor the theory that the body was lifeless because cries of an infant were not heard.

CISTERN. CREEK ARE PUMPED DRY But Firemen Are Unable to Save Home From Flames. Pumping a creek and a cistern dry in an unsuccessful attempt to save the home of Bruce Harding. Gilbert and Shelby Sts., before it burnt to the ground Sunday afternoon, the fire department reverted to primitive fire fighting methods.

New York Executive in Reply to Attorney Declares No Conflict Exists in Loyalty to Church and Nation NEW YORK, April 18.—The position of Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York on (lie relation of church and state today was formally before the American public, which may bo asked to vote on him as a candidate for President.

In a statement of faith. Smith put] himself definitely on record as believing there is no conflict between religious loyalty to the Catholic faith and patriotic loyalty to the United States. Marshall Writes Again The Governor's statement was made in an article • written for the Atlantic Monthly in reply to an open letter from Charles C. Marshall, New York attorney, questioning whether the two could be reconciled. In return, Marshall today gave the United Press a counter-reply in which he affirmed his position with new quotations from Catholic authorities to support it. i Marshall, however, insisted in his reply that Smith had disclaimed only for himself the allegedly conflicting beliefs attributed by Marshall to loyal American adherents of the, Roman Catholic church. He said he replied only to Governor Smith’s assertion that the so-called conflicting beliefs were not held by any American Roman Catholics. Refers to Long Service “You imply that there is conflict between religious loyalty to the Catholic faith and patriotic loyalty to the United States,” the Governor wrote. "Everything that has actually happened during my long public career leads me to know that no such thing as that is true. I have taken an oath of office in this State nineteen times. Each time I swore to defend and maintain the Constitution of the United States. I have never known any conflict between my official duties and my religious belief. No such conflict could exist. During the years I have discharged these trusts (of public office). I have been a communicant of the Roman Catholic Church.” Sees No Conflict "I am unable to understand how anything that I ■ was taught to believe as a Catholic could possibly be in conflict with what is good citizenship.” the Governor continued. "The essence of my faith is built ! upon the commandments of God. There can be no conflict between them." He pleaded for an end to bickering among sects, to provide "more reI ligion for our young people, not less." Cites Noted Catholics In disputing Marshall's'allegations of conflicting duty. Smith cited the experience of Catholics who have held high office in this country, emphasizing particularly the case of the Supreme Court which “during one-fourth of il.f history has been presided over by two Catholics, Roger Brooke Taney, and Edward Douglass White.” Conflict, he said "may exist in some lands which do not guarantee 1 religious freedom. But in the wildest dreams of your imagination you cannot conjure up a possible conflict between religious principle p.nd political duty in the United States.” Not Seeking Office Smith reiterated that he is not actively seeking the office of President, although he would not refuse it. saying: “Your questions are put to me in connection with my canddacy for the office of President of the United States. My attitude with respect to that candidacy was fully stated in my last inaugural address as Governor. when, on Jan. 1, 1827, I said: “I have no idea what the future has in store for me. Every one else in the United States has some notion about it except myself. No man could-stand before this intelligent gathering and say that he was not receptive to_ the greatest position the world had to give any one. But I can say this, that I will do nothing to achieve it except to give the people of the State the kind and character of service that will make me deserve it.” Smith said, however, that he "would be a poor American and a

poor Catholic” if he injected religious discussion into a political campaign. He asked Marshall to accept his answer “not as a candidate for any public office, but as an Amet i can citizen, meeting a. challenge Id his patriotism and his intellectual integrity.” Basis of Counter-Reply Marshall in his counter-reply said: "With your customary directness you make a disclaimer for yourself of the convictions imputed to me to Roman Catholics in my open letter. Had you stopped with that disclaimer, this reply would have been superfluous, but you say that convictions are not held by any American Roman Catholic so far as you know. The convictions I imputed 1 supported by citations from the encyclical letters of Pope Leo XIII. You repudiate my citations as inexact and as detached from a necessary context. This is a matter of opinion and I cannot yield to your claim in the matter. The encyclical letters are accessible and if nothing else has been accomplished by our controversy than to secure their careful reading by the American public, that is enough.” Denies Charging Disloyalty He denied the Governor’s assertion that Marshall had imputed disloyalty to Catholics,and emphasized that his complaint twas against the polity, or governmental system, of the Catholic church and not against the faith and religion itself. Marshall also said that "no view I have expressed has been intended to suggest the placing of a ban against candidacy for office because of religion.” Marshall quoted at length from the manual of Christian doctrine, which he cited as published by John Joseph McVey for use in Catholic schools. He quoted the book as saying that the pope has “the right to annul those laws or acts of government that would injure the salvation of souls or attack the natural rights of citizens”: that “the State should aid, protect and defend the (Roman Catholic) church;” that the principal obligation of the heads cf States “is to practice the (Roman) Catholic religion themselves And, as they are in power, to protect and defend it," and that “the State has the right and the duty” to “proscribe schism or heresy.” TWO AID REED PROBE Senators La Folletie and King Art in Pennsylvania Fight, Times Mashinuton Bureau.
