MUNCIE GROUP URGES JACKSON TO CLEAR DALE 'Governor Says He’ll Act on Recommendation Made by Farm Trustees. “Pardoning George Dale is entirely up to you, Governor Jackson. No board cr commission has it within its power.” This was the plea voiced by Attorney Tom Miller. Muncie, and six Muncie citizens, who waited on the Governor Monday afternoon. Dale, editor of The Muncie Post-Demo-crat, faces ninety days on the State Farm for contempt. Dale was sentenced by Judge Clarence W. Dearth about whose court he had written articles, branded contemptuous. Appeals to State and Federal Supreme Courts proved unavailing and Dale will be cent to the farm when papers are returned from Washington, unless Governor Jackson intervenes. Charges Proved, They Say In presenting their case, the Muncie citizens pointed out to the Governor that things Dale had written later were proved true by testimony before the State Senate duping the Dearth impeachment *trl, uckson invited newspapermen in to .ear the pleading. The Muncie group included the "Rev, W. H. Brown, Christian minister; Charles Morrow, contractor; Earl Randolph, ex-police chief, and John Moles, ex-police captain; Sumner Denny, bus operator, and Michael Hanley, real estate dealer. At the close of the conference, the Governor told them that the pardon request signed by Mrs. Dale and Prosecutor Joe Davis of Delaware county was placed in the hands of farm trustees and that he undoubtedly would act upon their recommendations. Will Ask Sentence Stay Miller stated that as soon as the papers arrived from Washington he would ask the Governor for a stay of sentence, as the trustees do not meet as a pardon Hoard until July. In making his plea for Dale, Moles told the Governor that the editor was failing in health and if forced to ser/e the sentence never would return to his wife and six children, the youngest of whom is 3 years old. Mr. Brown stated that a popular vote in Delaware County would show all good citizens for Dale’s freedom. “We need him there to go on printing the truth,” he said.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED DIANA. BROOKS, beautiful daughter of ROGER BROOKS, owner and publisher Os the CATAWBA CITY TIMES and a chain of nine other newspapers, was kidnaped, then released. Her father is engaged in a persistent fight against the corrupt administration of Catawba City and through the medium of the Times, redoubles his scathing attacks on politicians of the ring and the underworld. Later Brooks himself is kidnaped and in five days released. On his return he finds that his newspaper stock is being manipulated and suspects JOHN W. WALDEN, who he determines to fight. Brooks’ closest friend is DONALD KEENE, young literary editor of the Times and guardian of Teddy Parrels, reporter and Sob Sister, who is in love with Don. He, however, believes himself in love with Lola Mantell, Diana's cousin. Lola lives with the Brooks. She goes in her runabout for a drive through the country. Later Diana receives a call from a roadhouse of shady repute, telling her that her cousin has been injured and needs her. She drives out to the inn where she is surprised to find JOHN W. WALDEN, Jr., an unscrupulous suitor, waiting for her. He tells her that she cannot see Lola Just then as the doctor is setting the sprained ankle. Diana does not know whether to believe Walden’s explanation or not but decides to wait. NOW GO ON CHAPTER - XXXI Diana surveyed her surroundings. She was in a richly furnished l oom and at one end was a table partly set for two. Between the folds of heavily embroidered portieres at the other end, she glimpsed what was evidently another room. She turned back to Walden coldly. “How do you happen to be here?” “Pure coincidence—stopped in for a cold drink and saw them bring Lola in.” He looked away, avoiding the girl's steadfast gaze. “Diana,” he said cajolingly, “we ought to be friends. There’s no use of sustainnig this animosity. Wait —we’ll talk things over. I’ll be back in a minute.” He walked from the room before she could deter him. How distasteful was his very presence! There 4 was nothing to talk over, she thought sarcastically. And no reason why they should be friends. It must be about five o’clock, she judged, walking to the windows. Down in the gardens the revolving sprays had been turned on the parched, thirsty vegetation. The air was cooling down. “Real view, isn't it?” It was Walden's low voice over her shoulder. He indicated the peaceful fields stretching into the Diana edged away from him, not distance. even attempting to conceal her dislike. Walden ran his glance greedily down her figure. “Very becoming, that pale green,” he said ingratiatingly. Diana ignored his compliment. “Did you see Lola? Has the doctor fin—” She hesitated in surprise. While they had been at the window a waiter had been pacfding silently to and fro. The tdble was set with covered dishes. “Just what does this mean?” she asked angrily. “Only that it’s close to the dinner hour and you might as well have a bite with me while you’re waiting.” “Are you telling me the truth about Lola?” she countered severely. “Diana, don’t be foolish. Os course I am. Let’s start eating and the doctor will call us when he's through. Nothing mysterious about it.” Perhaps she was- being foolish amd nervous. She sat down opposite him. “I can’t get over you, don't you know, Diana. And I don't quite understand why you refused to marry me. You know how crazy I am about you—always was.” He drew in his breath with a sucking intake. “I’m sorry, but I am not interested in your sentiments. I’m putting up with your company, because, apparently, I have to,” said Diana indignantly. “Oh, now—be reasonable. I’m letting by-gones be by-gones. You clouted me over the head, you know, at the country club and you see even that doesn’t matter. Though, of course,” he added, “you were intoxicated and of course I was, too. Even if you don’t apologize, my feelings are the same. I want us to be friends.” Diana’s eyes blazed. “You conceited fool,” she choked disgustedly. “You—you expecting me to apologize when £ou acted like a beast and then you talk of being in love, crazy about me—all in the same breath.” She rose angrily. Walden, too, rose and jumped to her side. “Please, please, Diana, you’re right. lam a fool. Don’t make a scene.” He was right. She didn’t vant a scene. She resumed her seat. He chatted on aimlessly for a time. Once or twice he leaned over attempting to capture her hand. She drew it carefully away. She wished the doctor would come. The waiter entered again and snapped on the lights. She‘asked him for the time. It was 6 o’clock. The waiter removed the dishes. In a short time he returned with a pail of ice, glasses and bottles. “Golden Cluster, finest champagne that ever popped,” remarked Walden, removing the napkin wound about a bottle pasted plentifully with labels and seals. Diana watched him indifferently as he poured a glassful. “You’ll have a sip, of course ” he said, smiling an invitation. .“No, not with you, John, ever again. Your pretenses do not fool me. I know that fundamentally you lack real sportsmanship. You proved that once,” she retorted caustically. The thrust went home. Walden was infuriated but maintained his oily exterior. “Pshaw, you’ve got to give me a chance to show you I'm a real sport. You’re a woman of the world, Diana. No one will be the wiser if you spend a few hours here with me,” he said slyly. “I’ll phone for a cab and have Lola sent home. You don't have to be with her. Say yes!” “No! I’ve had enough. I’m going to see Lola for myself now,” she said, rising and pushing her chair back angrily. "Hush! Please sit down. It’s all right. You may go. Only wait until I see first.” He went out again, closing the door. This time Diana thought she heard a key turning in the lock. She stepped softly over and tried the door. Yes, he had locked it. She glided swiftly toward the
portieres and pulled them aside. On a stand beside a bed stood a large French doll. Fumbling with a buckle, she managed to separate its voluminous skirts. The skirts concealed a telephone. Diana called a number. She was shaking with suspense. “Hello, the Times? Mr. Keene, please.” A brief wait. “He’s not there? They call Teddy Farrell or Dinny Morrison. Please hurry.” She spoke hurridly, in a low voice. “Teddy? Diana speaking. I’m at Gounot’s Inn—third floor. No. 16trouble with Walden. Come out! Immediately!” She jammed the receiver into place and replaced the doll's skirts, then jumped to the dresser. Even while she had been speaking she had heard a disturbance at the door. She pretended to be arranging her hair and Walden apparently suspected nothing as he stepped beside her. Meanwhile, miles away, Teddy was bursting with excitement as she hung up the telephone on her desk in the Catawba City Times. Diana had not seemed particularly excited, but the little sob sister smelled a rat. She knew of the previous trouble the publisher’s daughter had had with Walden. Diana evidently was in a position where she couldn’t explain. The mildest appeal to Teddy was enough. “Dinny!” she gasped, “get your buggy and come with me. Don't ask questions. Hurry!” Dinny Morrison was just on the point of leaving for home when Teddy attached him. He allowed himself to be literally dragged along by her in and out among the desks and into the elevator. “Crank the old thing, quick,” she directed him when they had descended to the alley where Dinny’s asthmatic flivver was parked. He compiled. “His not to reason why. His but to do or die," whenever Teddy commanded. They rattled away. Dinny piloting his way dexterously bettween the early evening traffic.
Coolidge’s Vacation to Be Run by Blueprints
i Rapid City Commercial Club Maps Out Every Move for President. BY JACK FOSTER Scrmps-Howard Staff Correspondent RAPID CITY, S. D, June 14.—A vacationing President can’t go wrong, not even in the twisted trails and ragged needles of the South Dakota Black Hills. The Rapid City Commercial Club has drawn up blueprints outlining every move the President will make from the time he arrives at 5 p. m. Wednesday until he is safe in the lodge eight miles from the town. The sketches, drawn by John Green, club secretary, already has been sent to the President. He will receive them on the State border Wednesday noon, so by the time he arrives in Rapid City he will know exactly how his vacation is going to start. Norbeck to Greet Coolidge Senator Norbeck will greet Coolidge when he reaches the border. Governor Bulow will greet him at Pierre. And on the little platform at Rapid City Mayor V. T. Jepsen will be waiting to open the gates of the Black Hills. He will be. driven through the city and then taken to the lodge, according to schedule. If he wants to fish, streams will be roped off for him. If he wants to ride horse back, a stable is waiting for hi mto break his silence. And if he wants to warm his shins, a fire will be grumbling in a fireplace fashioned of brilliantly colored minerals. All Wrought Up And while the Commercial Club was worrying about the blueprint and plans for the President’s arrival, the Gideon family, in charge of the lodge since it was built eight yeare ago, was all wrought up over getting the lodge in readiness. Arguments between Mrs. C. C. Gideon and the other members of the family as to the hanging of curtains and the laying of rugs ran

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
“Where to?” he asked, bewildered. “Oh, yes, to Gounot's Inn. Know where it is?” “Damned if I do, Ted.” “We'll ask a cop or something. And you call yourself a reporter and don’t know that!” said Teddy sarcastically. “I observe you’re not so smart yourself,” he retorted wtfheringly. The cap they asked didn’t know either. He scratched his ear and pondered it importantly. He'd heard of the place, yes. They might try looking in the directory. Then a brighter idea illumined the mind and face of the limb of the law. The face fairly beamed. “I have it! Try the city informationJiureau.” “Do we have to go back two blocks now?” muttered Dinny. “Oh. quit grumbling and do it,” said Teddy impatiently. Dinny discovered another tragedy. He had forgotten his badge. “That’s all right. I have mine,” announced Teddy triumphantly, folding back the lapel of her boyish jacket. ‘And quit being such a flat tire. Diana might get cut to ribbons or something by the time we get there!” Diana, at the time was in no such horrible peril. However, instinct had told her to secure some recourse. She did not trust Walden. She even doubted now that Lola was at the inn. “Is she quite ready now to sec me?” she asked Walden, casually putting down her comb and turning toward him. Walden stood perfectly still, Reminding the girl of a wolf crouching ready to spring. His thin lower lip curled into a sneer. “Or has that been a fairy talc you've been telling me?” she asked scornfully. Walden emitted a sardonic laugh. “You knew all along that Lola wasn't here, didn’t you, sugar?” (TO BE CONTINUED) Walden’s treachery places Diana in dire peril—Don’t miss the next installment.
rife. However. Mrs. Gideon seems to be the ruler and consequently the President is going to see the lodge furnished just the way less notable persons have found it. Rapid City seems little disturbed over the coming of the chief executive.
