11. S. DISTRICT I ATTORNEY IS BEFORE JURY |loel, Former Counsel for | M’Cray, Also Called t # as Witness, f PLOT AGAINST EDITORS probe of Effort to Hush General Investigation 0 Is Indicated. ? Anew slant to the probe of po'jfatlcal corruption by the Marlon (bounty grand jury was seen today, fcrhen Albert Ward, United States district attorney, was summoned as the first witness of the day, remaining before the Jury for twenty-five tninutefe. That further inquiries into the fnatter of the charge by The Times Khat Ed Jackson had offered to (Warren T. McCray immunity and £IO,OOO for attorney fees in return for the prosecutorship of this county fcre being made was evidenced by the calling again before the jury |pf James W.

Calling of Ward is believed to Beal with the effort to suppress the Investigation and to discredit Boyd gurlej, editor of The Times, and homas A. Adams of Vincennes, ftvha gave out the first of D. C. Stephenson’s letters from State Prison. It is known that several months fego powerful forces called into their Services some of the discredited followers of Stephenson for the purpose of getting something that would descredit the editor of The Times. An attorney directed the operations and employed some of these former satellites of the former grand dragon arid these men offered, with great prodigality, the Influence of officials if affidavits would be given to show that The Times had resorted to illegal practices to produ-e dence. Held Forged Papers These men, it 1$ known, carried forged documents to the Federal of- - in an effort to obtain indictment of the editor of The Times ana of Thomas Adams. That the grand jury is interested now in tracing the source of these forgeries which may have been presented to the Federal authorities is the belief of those who have followed the jury investigation. The efforts to discredit Thomas Adams and the editor of The Times was particularly active Just before The Times obtained and published the checks for $2,500 given by Stephenson to Ed Jackson and the disclosures leading to delivery of the black boxes to the custody of the prosecutors, Adams was apprised of the effort set its inception and kept in touch with the movements made by these former Stephenson followers in behalf of others employed to obtain a basis for Federal action. It is known that Adams, some time ago, notified the local prosecutor of these efforts and complained that State laws had been violated for the Federal investigation.

Flying Princess Is Hours Overdue in Trans- Ocean Hop St. Raphael, Traveling at 75 Miles an Hour, Should Have Reached St. Johns Early This Morning; Last Sighted Over Ireland.

WINDSOR FLIERS T By United Pre The province of Ontario today sent two monoplanes eastward on flights destined to terminate in England. From London, Ont., at 5:35 a. m., the Sir John Carling left on a flight to Croydon Airport, London, England, via Harbor Grace, N. F., where it plans to stop for fuel tonight. From Windsor, Ont., the Royal Windsor left at 9:18 a. m. on a proposed non-stop flight to Windsor, England. Both planes are of the StinsonDetroiter type, similar to those flown by Brock and Schlee in their round-the-world flight and by Paul Redfern, missing Georgia-to-Brazil flier. Carry Small Radio Sets The Royal Windsor is manned by C. A. (Duke) Schiller, pilot, and Philip S. Wood, navigator; the Sir John Carling carries Capt. Terrence Tulley as pilot and Lieut James Medcalf as navigator. Both planes carried small radio sets with a sending radius of 50 miles for use in emergencies. The National Telegraph agent at Santarem, Brazil, today informed the National Telegraph office at Para that a report from Alemquer that an aviator had landed in the interior of Brazil was “inexact.” At the time this report was received efforts were being made to determine whether or not Paul Redfern, missing Georgia to Brazil flyer, had been forced down in the Amazon River valley. "If the St. Raphael fails,” Charles A. Levine told the United Press today in London, “I will be ready to start across the Atlantic early Friday. * “If the St. Raphael succeeds, I probably will wait a week to consider my plans, one of which is for a ’round-the-world flight, including one leg of 4,000 miles.” Sworn in as Mail Pilots Unllk# the Sir John Carling, SchUiinfc and Wood do not contemplate any stop until they jeach Windsor, Eng. If a suitable land-, ing place is not found there, they will proceed to Croydon field, which also is the destination of the Sir John Carling. Tully and Medcalf had been sworn In as “mail carriers” and given a sack of mail bearing a tag addressed to "London Town.” “Duke” Schiller of the Royal Windsor is a native of lowa but a Canadian citizen, member of the royal air force during the war and recently connected with the provincial forest air patrol. Still Hope for Redfern Philip S. Wood, navigator of the Royal Windsor, is a brother of Gar Wood of Detroit, the motor boat enthusiast. Paul Redfern and his monoplane Port of Brunswick, missing since he started from Brunswick, Ga., for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a week ago today, today was reported sighted last week by two vessels which have Just arrived in Caribbean ports. Redfern still was in the air when seen. Lloyd W. Bertaud’s New York-to-Rome monoplane Old Glory still awaited favorable weather at Roosevelt Field. Rain and cross winds prevented the departure. BAN AfIMS FOR RUSSIA State Department Frowns on Deal With Soviet. { WASHINGTON. Sept. 1. —The State department has informed an American manufacturer desiring to ship arms to Russia that it disapproves of such shipment. State department officials today contended this policy has been in effect for several years, though they admitted there is no formal embargo, on arms shipments to Soviet territory. department refused to give grounds on which its policy is based or to divulge identity of the manu- v lecturer.

Won *t You Please Die? Business Is Terrible By United Pre ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. I.—Pathetic conditions obtain. In the undertaking business, it was revealed here, because of the decreasing death rate throughout the United States. Uncounted embalmers, capable of turning out the highest grsde of work, sit idly among their coffins and wonder what is going to happen to them. At night they go home to their loved ones and leave unanswered the unspoken question in the eyes of those nearest and dearest to them. The thing is far past the Joking stage, W. F. Guerke, a leading mortician of Baltimore, warned at the annual convention of the Maryland State Funeral Directors’ Association. “Some of us,” he said, “must go into other lines of business or starve.” “Last week,” continued Guerke, “in Baltimore there were ten deaths to be divided between 175 funeral directors, and three of these deaths were children, on whom thero is nearly always a lqss.” Aiv evil resulting from the general slowing down of the undertaking business throughout the country is the increasing number of "cut rate” funerals also warned Guerke.

RY NON-STOP TRIP Bu United Prett ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland, SepjC. I.—Princess Lowenstein-Wertheim, 63; F. F. Minchin and Leslie Hamilton in the trans-Atlantic monoplane St. Raphael, were more than five hours overdue at St. Johns, Newfoundland, according to their schedule at 1:10 p. m. (eastern standard time), 12:10 (Indianapolis time) today. It was estimated that the St. Raphael flying at seventy-five miles an hour would reach St. Johns by 8 a. m. (Indianapolis time) today. At 9:10 a. m. the St. Raphael was twenty-seven hours out from the coast of Ireland, where the plane last was sighted. The plane had fuel sufficient to remain aloft fortythree hours. It was en route from Upavon, England, where it took off at 1:31 a. m. (Eastern Standard time), yesterday, to Ottawa, Canada. Brock and Schlee made the eastward flight in twenty-three and a half hours, but they had a tall wind most of the v ay, whereas the British airmen probably had head winds and had more passengers aboard. 900 Gallons of Gas The St. Raphael carried 900 gallons of gasoline. Hamilton and Minchin estimated they would make it to Ottawa in thirty-three hours. That now is not possible,-Ottawa being 1,130 miles beyond St. Johns. - The landing field at Harbor Oface was lighted from midnight to dawn by the burning of waste saturated with petrol which had been placed in oak barrels. The 5,000-foot runway was kept clear in case the fliers decided to land Instead of continuing westward into the interior. Had the fliers arrived during the night they would have had ideal weather conditions off the Newfoundland coast. Out from St. Johns in all directions the sky was clear and filled with stars and a light westerly wind was blowing—not strong enough to retard the speed of the plane. The temperature was 70. Foggy Over Newfoundland But when, at dawn, a fog began closing in the crowds experienced their first anxiety as they realized that the weather at sea might not have been as favorable during the night as it had been off Newfoundland. Weather conditions in the Gulf and lower sections of the St. Lawrence were none too favorable, and it was thought by some that Hamilton and Minchin, if they continued beyond Harbor Grace, might end their flight at Quebec instead of continuing to Ottawa, their original goal , , As yet there was no cause for serious anxiety. When the St. Raphael struck out to open sea titer crossing southern Ireland theweather was foggy and that condition might have existed over most of the Atlantic, preventing ships frofli sighting the plane. May Be Fighting Wind If west winds were encountered all the way across, the plane may not arrive before noon, but if the plane is not sighted soon after noon there will be reason to believe that something may have gone wrong. The Saint Raphael carried a collapsible rubber boat. The distance from Upavon, England, to Ottawa, is approximately 3,330 miles. Os that, 2,200 miles is from Upavon to St'Johns and 1,130 from St. Johns Ottawa. The Saint Raphael was sighted three times as it flew adross Ireland in a northwesterly direction When it shot off over the sea at Galway Headland it had traveled Approximately 375 miles in four hours and a half, an average of seventy-five miles an hour.

M’CRAY BACK HOME; FUTURE HOPEJS HIGH Special Train Stop Allows Ex-Governor to Avoid Station Crowd. PLANS ARE UNCERTAIN r # Goes Direct to Residence to See Family, After Three Years. BY ROBERT G. BATMAN, Warren T. McCray came home to his own today. With a song of hope in his heart for the future, but with perhaps a doubt lurking there, too, the former Governor of Indiana arrived in Indianapolis at 11:44 a. m. The Big Four train which %rought him here from Cincinnati made a special stop at Leota St., ten blocks east of Union Station, so the “Governor” might avoid the crowd of several hundred gathered to welcome him. This was at the wish of his family. s \s Not McCray's Way “If I were doing it," he said," I would walk through the station and ride through town as if I were returning from a fishing trip.” A single auto met him at Leota St. His wife, his two daughters and his son waited at the home of William P. Evans, 531 E. Thirty-Sixth St., hi3 son-in-law. Without ceremony, the ex-Gov-ernor bade good-by on the train to John Moorman of Knox, Ind., his lifelong friend, who took the first word to him of his parole hehind the gray walls of the Federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.. Tuesday. Son-in-Law Greets Him His son-in-law, who also was there to greet him when he stepped outside the prison gates, got off the train with him and the two hurried away to “Governor’ McCray's real homecoming. The outside world was oarred from that homecoming, from the touching scene that must have taken place as he met those who have suffered with him these three long years and four months. McCray faces the future with hope, but with no plans. “I have paid the law. lam coming home to my friends,” he said. To the people of Indiana, to the thousands who elected hirft to Vhe State’s highest office, to those who remember and love him, he had no message. Nothing to Tell Indians "No, I have nothing to tell them particularly,” he said, as the train rushed across the afete line and brought him for the first time since he went away to prison within the boundaries of the State in which he made and lost two fortunes. ‘Tell them, though, that in the years I was there I had no thought but to come back to the State that Mmy home—to live the rest of my life with my family and friends. As to what is past, there is nothing to say—let the waters take the past over the dam. K "I don’t know what I will do. I only hope to and am confident I will be of some use to my family and friends. J have tried to face thisJike a man and I believe I have. Won’t Talk of Disclosures McCray refused to comment on The Times’ disclosure.* that he refused the Stephensor.-Coffin-Jack-son offer of tIC.OCC if he name a man of their selection as Mftrlon County prosecutor. But the ex-Govemor. who has kept in close touch with Indiana affairs through the newspapers, read eagerly the stories of the grand jury investigation ip Indianapolis papers secured in Cincinnati. “I hope they won’t make me do that. I don’t want to go through that excitement; I’ve gone through enough,” he said, as he read the rdport that he might be called to testify. The prison experience, to all appearances, had left no physical mark on McCray. Appearance Little Changed He appears today much as he did when he left to serve fils Federal sentence for a charge of using the mail3 to /lefraud, friends who accompanied him from Atlanta said. But under their Joy at his appearance of health was fear that the excitement of his release and homecoming might be too much. “The Governor” has been a patient in the prison hospital for eighteen months, suffering since a stroke. His blood pressure, they said, has mounted close to the danger mark for a man of his years. A thorough physical examination by his perAbnal physician to determine means of bringing him back to full health once more was planned as soon as McCray has had a few days’ rest at the Evans home. McCray and his party arrived at Cincinnati at 8:30 a. m. They left Atlanta Wedhesday at 5:40 p. m. During the hour and a half wait at Cincinnati for the Indianapolis train, the party ate breakfast and answered the questions of newspaper men.

M’Cray Meets Granddaughter

BY ELDORA FIELD A little blue-eyer girl saw her grandfather for the first time today. She was little Barbara Jane Evans, age 2, and the man into whose arms she went instinctively was Warren T. McCray. From the brilliance of a perfect September day, McCray stepped into the home of his son-in-law, W. P. Evans, 551 E. Thirty-Sixth St... and the loving arms of relatives and the heartfelt greetings of old friends greeted him. Barbara Jane and Billie Evans, age 3, his grandchildren, were the firsts persons his eyes lit upon, but a moment later, his wife was

clasped in his arms. His daughter, Marion, and Mrs. Evans were close behind and tears and laughter and kisses were-min-gled as his family grouped themselves about him. Old friends stood in the background. The liiflng room and the hall were a bower of flowers, sent by other friends. For several minutes, little was said and then: “Oh, nobody knows how Wonderful all this seems to me,” McCray said brokenly. "Nobody knows how wonderful it is to be home again.” Then the friends came forward, but they had to wait until the exGovemor clasped his wife to his bosom again and kissed his daughter Marion over and over. , “Dear little Barbara,” I’ve never seen her before,” raid McCray “But I’m certainly not disappointed. Isn’t she a wonderful little thing?” Billie then pressed close to his knee and McCray took him into his arms “Billie was only 4 months old when I raw him last,” he said “He’s a fine little fellow." The ex-Governor plainly was making an effort to control his voice. His eyes were full of tears. Il .the family party to greet him, besides his wife and his daughters, Mrs. W. P. Evans and Marion, and his son, George, were his niece, Mrs. Jane Foutsvof Richmond; his

sister, Mrs. Fannie Cambert of Kenton. After a fev minutes he greeted the old friends who were waitings They were Mr. and Mrs. Martin Hugg, Michael Ryan, George Barnard and Adah Bush, his former secretary. "Oh, it’s so good to have such friends,” the Governor said as the men of the party put their arms around him and frankly hugged him. Later he talked to reporters. “Indianapolis, everything from the weather to my friends are giving me a wonderful welcome home,” he said. “We got off the train at Leota St. I didn’t know we were going to do that and I understand that we missed a lot of friends who were at the Union Station to greet me. I Love my friends. I’m glad to know that they were there and I’m sotry to huve disappointed ’them. “I’ll see them a lot, though, for I’m going to stay in Indianapolis a long, long time. “I raw lots of changes in Indianapolis as I came along In the auto.

Mother of Six Reforms Despite Shumaker ‘Can T By Timet Special • ' SOUTH BEND, Ind., Sept. I.—Mrs. Priscilla Horvath of this city, mother of six children, now on a honeymoon as Mrs. Charles Soregl, has :*egained her place in society—something E. S. Shumaker, , superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, said she couldn’t do. A year ago the woman’s first husband, Mike Horvath, was serving a sentence'in jail and committed suicide. A friend advised the widow that an easy way to make money for herself and children was liquor selling, She went into the game and was caught. “Send the children -to the orphans’ home and put the woman in prison. That’s the only way to deal with these people. She can’t reform,” Shumaker advised prosecuting officials when an effort was made to have the woman put on probation for the rake of her family. But the South Bend Rotary Club and other civic organizations thought otherwise, and the family was not broken up. A few days ago there was a quiet wedding at which Mrs. -Horvath’s friends recalled her winning fight to cast off whatever stigma was attached to the “crime” she committed.

ENTIRE SAFETY BOARD QUITS WHEN POLICE CHIEF OUSTER IS DEMANDED BY DUVALL Refusal to Surrender on "Matter of Principle’ Given as Reason for Resignation • Action; New Board Chosen. MAYOR fWANTS WORLEY ON JOB Johnspn Says He’ll Stick Until New Commission Decides, What Position He Should Take. The entire board of safety resigned this morning, announcing it had refused to surrender “in a matter of principle” to demands of Mayor John L. Duvall. The mayor, according to members, asked the board to oust Police Chief Claude F. Johnson and name Claude Worley, former detective inspector, now an investigator for Criminal Court, in his place. The board members who resigned are O. D. Haskett, president; Edgar Hart and Frank Kuhns.

We Quit '

Following is the letter of resignation sent to Mayor Duvall by the board of safety: “Dear Mr. Mayor: “The members of the board of public safety have given careful thought to the changes you have suggested in the police department, and as thesq changes include the removal of Claude F. * Johnson as chief of police, whose administration of the affairs pf the police department since the beginning of your administration has been outstanding and has had the approval and commendation of the better element of our citizenship, we feel that disrupting the force at this timt with a possible change of polity in administration, will not meet popular approval and is not in line with our own ideas of administration. “To make these changes and appoint the man you have suggested as his successor necessarily ‘would abolish the civil service rules now in effect, and that, in our judgment, would be a backward step and ° ne that does not meet our approval. "The members of the board have taken pride afld pleasure in th* discharge of their duties and have given freely of their time in looking after the affairs of the various departments, but these changes completely would take away our interest in the work we have been attempting to do in behalf of our fellow citizens. '“ln order that you miy be left free to carry out your contemplated changes, we respectfully tender our resignations, as members of the board of public safety, effective this date.” 3 INJURED IN BLAZE a. Hundreds of Persons Driven to Street by Smoke. Two firemen and a Negro were burned, S4OO damage caused and hundreds of office- workers anfl shop customers were driven by smoke out of the Odd Fellow building, Pennsylvania and Washington Sts., in a fire which followed an explosion in the Roy E. Steele Cleaning Shop, In the basement, at 10 a. m. today. Firemen said a cigaret or match carelessly tossed toward a quantity of carbon tetra chloride and gasoline which was being mixed for cleaning fluid caused the explosion which threw flaming liquid all over the cleaning shop. Lieut Ralph Tyner,, and Fireman Jack Wieck were overcome by smoke and burned. Aaron Brown, 22, Negro shine boy, rushed back into the flames to help firemen and was burned on both hands. The three were treated at city hospital. Five companies of firemen extinguished the blaze.

The mayor this afternoon named these new board members: Frederick W. Connell, secretary Indiana Crushed Stone Association, 3609 Salem St., board president. Ira P. Haymaker, real estate salesman, 20:J3 Illinois St., Democratic member. Robert F. Miller, manager Majestic Bldg., former sheriff, 1901 Fletcher Ave., Republican member. ‘Expects’ Worley to Be Chief The mayor said the “expects” Worley will be named police chiei Chief Johnson declared that the mayor tried to get him to accept appointment as city controller, to ask for a leave of absence, or to resign, to make way for Worley, but he refused. "I will remain in my present capacity until the new board of safety is appointed and has found a place for me. I will accept whatever they give me. I have asked no consideration whatever from the mayor.” Worley was demoted by the board to lieutenant last month and resigned to take the Criminal Court job. As an investigator for Criminal Court, he comes in contact with preparations for the trial of Duvall on campaign expense fraud charges. Rumor Change Planned Reports that Duvall has been trying to find a way to get Worley back into the police department have been circulated for three weeks. ( Duvall and Worley are said to have had a conference at Peru, Ind., shortly after Worley was -demoted. These reports predicted that Johnson would be shifted to the city controller’s job and that William C. Buser, the mayor’s brother-in-law, would resign the controllership to make way for Johnson. Buser is named with Duvall in one of the affidavits pending in Criminal Court. Near Pension Rating The controller’s job pays $5,000 a year and the chief’s Job $4,000. but Johnson is said to have been eager to remain a policeman, because he has only two and a half years to serve before being eligible for pension and he likes the work. Matters are understood to have begun coming to a head Wednesday afternoon. The board and* chief were called to the mayor’s office and conferred for .more than an hour. The purpose was kept secret after the meeting. This morning the board held a closed session in its own office and then, with the chief, went down to the mayor’s office. After a half-hour session, the board and chief emerged and issued their statements, announcing what had happened. They returned to the board of safety office and Haskett assured Johnson that the board believed in his integrity and the efficiency of the department as he had conducted it since outset of the Duval, 1 administration. Firemen Not Involved Haskett said the fire department, under Chief Jesse HutseH, is not Involved in the present controversy. Hutsell visited the mayor earlier in the morning. Meanwhile, Worley was not at Criminal - Court nor rt his home. Mrs. Worley said she saw him for a few minutes last night, but did not know where he was today. Persons close to Worley say that he has a complete reorganization of the higher personnel planned. According to reliable Information, he plans reduction of MaJ. Louis Johnson, confidante of Chief Claude Johnson: reduction pf Detective Chiei Fred Simon to captain: lieutenant op detective sergeant; pro- - motion of Capt. Jerry Kinney to detective chief; promotion of Sergt. Charles captain or major of uniformed police; reduction of Traffic Captain Lester Jones to sergeant; promotion of Lieut. Leonard Forsythe to trafSc captain; promotion of Trafflicman Barrett Ball to police captain; promotion of Lieut. Fred Dmikut to traffic or police captain, and promotion of Sergt. Ralph Dean ;to lieutenant
