ALL WHO CARE NOW CAN HEAR STEPHENSON Trustees Will ’Book' Prisoner.for 'Performance' Before Any Grand Jury. RECORDS THROWN OPEN But Maroney’s Name Not on Visiting List and Julian’s Call Mysterious. BY BOYD GURLEY, Editor of The Times MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., July 2. The board of prison trustees will send D. C. Stephenson to any county whose prosecutor or grand jury may wish to listen to any charge of political corruption of which he has knowledge. This statement, made at the close of a day s session which was well staged, but which lacked the promised sensation, came from M. E. Foley, a board member. The attitude, somewhat different from that which was shown last fall when the Marion County grand jury was in session and before there was any suggestion that the political crimes of 1924 had become outlawed by the statute of limitations, was the closing curtain to the refusal to grant Stephenson the ninety-day parole. Fortified with an explicit and detailed defense by the State board of charities, the board threw open its records. It exhibited the list of Stephenson's visitors and the names of his correspondents. Maroney’s Name Omitted But it forgot Maroney, that Federal agent who was the first to see Stephenson after he had sent out his smuggled letter charging that he had documentary proof of corruption. Perhaps it might have been an oversight. The state board of charities contains a reference to “United States Officials” who had been permitted to see Stephenson. The list contains the names of no official of the United States. It does list L. G. Julian, the partner of Stephenson who for six weeks hid away from the grand jury. Silent About Julian When the newspaper men interviewed Stephenson the lust question was asked by the editor of The Times. ‘ What did you say to Julian that caused him to run away from the grand jury?” was the question. Stephenson smiled as he replied. “Wall, I won't answer that, of course.” The list of Julian’s visits to the prison is somewhat at variance with the reported visit in the company of John Kiplinger. The record showed that Julian was there in November and December, 1925, and then again on Feb. 17, 1926. No record is made of the visit reported just before he disappeared mysteriously in the fall of 1926 when the grand jury was searching for him. Kiplinger Frequent Caller Kiplinger’s visits were frequent. He was there on June 20, the day when the board of charities was asking for data. Martha Dickerson, the mystery woman, one of the four who held a power of attorney, made thirteen recorded visits. And State Representative Russell V. Duncan, now under Federal sentence, saw Stephenson last August. The purport of the data given to the press was that Stephenson had write letters and to talk to lawyers. The reference by the State board of charities to visits of United States officials to Stephenson and the omission of the name of Maroney or of any other known Federal official is not explained. Supposedly Complete The list was presumed to be complete. It contained the names of Stephenson’s former wife and listed the little girl as Katherine Stephenson, a daughter. It showed She visit of Kiplinger as late as ten lays ago. The net result of the day is to put it up to Stephenson to either produce his documents or keep silent. The board is now on record as willing to let him talk. But the fact is also known that he does not intend to talk. The State board of charities classically says that Steve still has the delusions of grandeur and points to the fact that he refers to the evening meal in the prison as dinner as proof. Well, perhaps any prisoner who refuses to call it supper may suffer from delusions. Wolves Kill Fourteen Sheep WONEWOC, Wis., July 2.—Three wolves recently made a raid on the C. H.

12 ARMY PLANES FLY WITpNDY Colonel Meets Mother, Fords on Way to Canada. B MT. I( CLEMENS, Mich., July 2. Col. Charles A. Lindbergh sailed away today from Selfridge Field withanescort on honor on a mission of friendship to Canada. Accompanied by twelve army planes, Lindberg left at 8:30 a. m., in his Spirit of St. Louis for Ottawa, Ontario, to deliver a message of amity from President Coolidge to the Canadian people on the occasion of their celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Dominion. Lindbergh flew here yesterday from St. Louis. He went swimming in Lake St. Clair, diving and splashing joyously. He permitted Major Thomas G. Lanphier, commandant of Selfridge Field, to take his plane in the air. Then he went stunt flying himself, at the insistence of the major’s young !son, Junior. Last night he met Henry Ford. Major Lanphier invited Mr. and Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, the flier’s mother, to dinner. The meal was interrupted when a launch burned on the lake in front of the house and Colonel Lindbergh led the guests to the porch to watch the fire. Case of Corn Bu Times Special CONNERSVILLE.

Opening Markets

Bu Ijiited Pres NEW YORK, July 2.—The action of the stock market in early dealings today easily reflected the fact that a large number of traders had left for an extended Fourth of July vacation period. Trading was on a light scale with prices fluctuating in a narrow range. Although outwardly the market presented an appearance of irregularity, the undertone seemed to imply a firmer tendency. General Motors, which opened at 197%, firmed up to 197% while United States Steel, International Nickel, Crysler, Colorado Fuel and other recent favorites, showed fractional gains. Rails were steady to firm and several specialties continued their forward movement. Baldwin sold down 2 points, however, on profit-taking. Speculative sentiment which had been cheered by the vigorous character of Friday’s recovery received further encouragement from the weekly reviews. These reported marked improvement in forward buying with small stocks on hand. Transactions on the stock exchange were extremely light in early dealings. Attendance in commission houses was small and many traders took a three-day vacation. However, the main body of stocks displayed a good tone and most activity present converged largely on the upside. Steel, General Motors and other leaders maintained best levels of the rally, while further gains were scored by individual issues like General Railway Signal and Houston Oil.

PLAN DRAFTED FORJTAX CUTS Slash in Specific Imposts of Millions on Program. BY PAUL R. MALLON, United Press Staff Correspondent RAPID CITY, S. D.. July 2.—Republican leaders who have been coming out to see President Coolidge at his summer White House on Squaw Creek have worked out an administration tax reduction program which will be offered to the December session of Congress. This plan calls for reduction in specific taxes of $300,000,000 and retention of other rates as they are, rather than a general reduction all along the line. It developed today that an effoif will be made to retain present rates on Incomes of less than $25,000, upon the theory that the small taxpayer has reaped most benefits from recent reductions an dthat his rates now are at rock bottom normal level. Changes suggested In this agreed plan include: Reduction in corporations taxes from 12*4 to 10 or 11 per oent. Elimination of all taxes on theater And baseball admissions and club dues. Diminution of levies upon incomes of more than $25,000, on the ground that these Incomes have reaped smallest reduction since high wartime levies. Slight reduction in automobile taxes.

PLANE FOUND TO BE IN BAD SHAPE Engines Taken Out for Overhauling; Hulk of “America” Dismantled for Shipment to French Capital.

BY RALPH HEINZEN United Preie Staff Correspondent VER-SUR-MER, France, July 2. —’Ttye monoplane America, above the high-water mark of the waves that battered her yesterday, safe below the skies that had buffeted her for forty hours previously, was being roughly, but expertly diagnosed and dissected on the beach here today. The three engines that had kept her in the air had been taken out for overhauling; the hulk of the plane herself was being dismantled, probably for shipment to Paris. No final verdict had been reached on the extent of her injuries. Commander Byrd had hoped they were not vital. But it was plain not only to him, but to laymen who saw her, that the plane was In bad shape. Reviews His Flight Humanly resilient, in contrast to the prostration of their giant plane, Commander Byrd and his companions had recovered sufficiently from their ordeal to tell the story of their flight before their departure for Caen and, eventually, Paris. In an Interview he gave the United Press, Commander Byrd reviewed his argosy from start to finish, and ended with a prediction regarding the future of trans-Atlantic flying. “Fog, rain and a deranged com,pass were our main troubles,” he said. “We encountered some wind going up the New England coast. Then we ran into a wall of fog that enveloped the Newfoundland coast and prevented our hopping off for the sea from above St. Johns, as we had planned. Compass Goes Wrong • “But luckily we located ourselves and were able to start out over the Atlantic, knowing where we were. “Then, toward the end, our troublesome compass went entirely wrong. We were flying around in large circles. “Again and again we set our course for Paris, but all our efforts resulted only in carrying up into rain clouds. For hours we searched for a landing place, all the while watching carefully our gas consumption. “It was too dark to tell the nature of the ground below us at any time and I kne wthat bringing the plane down on rough ground without being able to see it would result in tragedy. “When we finally landed, we came down because we had to. We knew damned well we had not another drop of gas. “As regards trans-Atlantic passenger servies, the time for them has not yet come. Must Experiment Further “Many more experimental flights will have to be made before anyone can talk seriously of them. The work already done will have to be carried on. “We plan to publish all our data for we believe it will be of extreme interest to all others planning Atlantic flights,” Byrd continued. “We were in the air forty-two hours. If we had had more fuel we could have remained in the air indefinitely, for our motors were working perfectly." Byrd’s radio silence toward the end of the flight, he said, was enforced. His wireless went wrong, partly from storm interference, partly from the interference of radio amateurs. Finally, he said, wind interferred with use of the plane’s trailing antennae. He heartily praised the courage of his companions. Pink Scab in Wheat Bu Times Special SHELBYVILLE, Ind., July 2.

TWO CENTS

BY A. L. BRADFORD, United Pre Staff Correepondent PARIS, July 2.—Commander Richard E. Byrd and his crew of threee triumphantly arrived at their real destination today, acclaimed by crowds that did not hold against them the fact that they arrived by train. An enthusiastic crowd, massed behind French and American official reception committees, was waiting at the Gart St. Lazaire station when the train that had brought them from Caen, where they spent the night, steamed in at 12:20 p. m. A plan to take the fliers to ii 9 Tomb of the Unknown Warrior direct from the station was abandoned because of the tremendous crowd that had gathered, and it was decided to take them there after luncheon. News that Cammonder Byrd and his companions, Lieut. George Noville, Bert Acosta, and Bemt Balchen, were expected at noon became known to Paris generally only at the last moment. But before the train pulled Into the station twenty minutes late and the aviators had time to leave the station, the streets for a dozen blocks around had become almost impassable. Traffic was suspended. The scene, with a greatly contrasting setting became in miniature that of Lindbergh's arrival at Le Bourget. The aviators left the station in automobiles, accompanied by French government officials, and by Capt. Richard D. White, naval attache at the American embassy. Crowds Mob Autos Crowds mobbed the automobiles. Police were unable for fifteen minutes to force a passage for them. It took half an hour to cover the mile to the Continental Hotel, where the aviators entered through a closely guarded side door. After a few minutes of refuge in their apartments, the aviators were forced by the mad cheers of the crowds in the Due de Rivoli outside to appear on the balcony, Herbert Adams Gibbons, Rodman Wanamaker's personal representative, waving French and American flags. After their appearance, Byrd received French newspaper men. “Tell France we are delighted to be here at last,” he said. “We thank Paris for its splendid reception. Learn Much on Flight “We have been told that a lone American flier, with a one-engined plane, arrived here before us. We arrived, four of us, with three engines. “That is represented as vast progress 1 nthe science of aviation. But the real interest of our flight is not 4n that. It is what we learned during the difficult hours we experienced. “We had enough gas to travel beyond the French frontiers, but we decided we wanted to give France another proof of America’s affection.
