CLEAN HOUSE, IG. 0. P. TOLD i BY GILLIOM ! Warning Sounded That Klan Is Trying to Throttle Representative Rule. SEES HOPE FOR PARTY General Also Hits at Super-Government of Dry League. Times Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 28. fThe Republican party will win the Jiext Indiana election if it faces bravely the task of releasing the people of Indiana from “the grip of Buper-government that has been Hastening upon them.” This was Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom’s challenge to the "Hamilton Republican Club in a speech before the club Tuesday pight. Gilliom openly named the KuKlux Klan and hinted at the Indiana Anti-Saloon League as the agencies attempting to throttle representative government in Indiana. The Republican party never has bad a better opportunity to serve {lndiana, Gilliom declared. Must Break Grip “That opportunity lies in the necessity of destroying super-gov-prnment in Indiana,” he said. “Organized fanatics and intoleri ants under the leadership of individuals who give their whole time to the commercializing and to the politicianizing of intolerance and fanaticism have undertaken to set pp a super-government in Indiana pver political parties and over constitutional government,” Gilliom declared. “These super-government groups have succeeded in considerable degree in,, establishing their power over the people of Indiana by making candidates of both political parties in considerable numbers primarily responsible to them, either under oaths of super-allegi-ance, under corrupt bargains, or under th\ threat of massed group opposition at the polls. “More than this, these groups undertake to exercise direct police power over the people through their own representatives, such as the horse-thief detective' associations kand specially authorized association f attorneys.
Issue Clear Cut. “The overshadowing issue before tho people of Indiana in the next campaign will be whether we shall have genuine representative government by political parties or whether we shall have super-government by Intolerant and fanatical minority groups.” It is plain on what side of the issue the Republican party belongs, he said. “It would be Idle to deny,” he said, however, “that the Republican party wholly escaped the ill effects of the political activities of such group leaders as the heads of the Ku-Klux Klan.” Hits at Southerners The Democratic party also did hot escape the Klan, Gilliom declared, and pointed out that “it was such Southern Democrats as Hiram Evans and and D. C. Stephenson who came to Indiana to transplant the Intolerant and fanatical spirit that characterizes Southern Democracy.” Striking veiledly at the Anti-Sa-toon League, Gilliom said: “A part of the super-government that has fastened its grip over Indiana consists of persons who have found it possible by means of constant agitation and misrepresentation of constituted authorities, to fan prohibition sentiment into fanatical fervor to the point where they can commercialize and politicalize the prejudice and fears thus i .engendered to their personal advan- ' tage. Believes in Dry Law "I believe in prohibition, and I am certain the Republican party believes in the proper enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment and of the laws enacted to make it effective, but the governmental policy thus involved is for constituted authority to carry into execution, and there is no need or room for any intolerant super-government in this res- ect any more than there is need or ‘room for a Klan super-govern-ment to keep our Government 100 per cent American.” HEADS DRUG CLERKS H.

WALKER GETS BIG‘WELCOME HOMEJIGAIN’ Store Windows Placarded With Signs Greeting Mayor of Gotham. ACTS IN BROADWAY PLAY Says He Studied Many ' Types of City Government While Abroad. Bii United Press NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Jimmy Walker has come home from Eurqpe to his people and they are making a great fuss over him. For no reason at all store windows are placarded with welcome signs and newspapers publish paid advertisements hailing “Walker, the Ambassador.” The world’s largest city has the world’s most colorful executive, and the dapper little son of an Irish immigrant, who has in his brief lifetime written “will you love me in December as you did in May?”; swayed Legislatures and political conventions, and wise-cracked every one in Europe, excepting the pope, has captured its imagination. Seven hours after he arrived aboard the French liner lie de France, Jimmy Walker did something probably no other mayor ever did. He climbed onto the stage at a Broadway musical comedy show and acted a role of himself. Assumes “Mayor’s” Part The heroine of the play, “Manhattan Mary,” had just returned home after winning laurels abroad. A pseudo Mayor Walker was to deliver a speech of welcome. George White, the producer stopped the action. “It is impossible for us to have | the imitation mayor go on with his role when the real Jimmy Walker is with us,” he said. Then Walker came from his box and greeted Manhattan Mary. “On behalf of the city of New York,” he said, “I welcome you most heartily, Mary. My welcome is the more heartfelt because I know from personal experience what you have gone through in Europe. You are a credit to New York, as every one is who leaves her and achieves success.” Jokes on Actors’ Union * “I hope I don’t get into trouble with the Actors’ Equity,” he told friends later. “But maybe I’m such a bum actor they won’t want me to take out a card.” t Walker said that he hoped he would be a better mayor because of his trip. He studied municipal government in many cities, he added, and learned something about housing, water supply, hospitals and general civic activities that he could put to use here.

His body was found slumped across & Jied in the little home he recently Rad purchased with the intention of reselling. The house was unoccupied. Ford left the meeting last night of the Fordson city council, of which he was president, for his home. He failed to arrive, and Mrs. Ford called the police at 5 o’clock this morning. While driving home he was seized with a heart attack, according to the theory advanced by his son, and stopped his machine near the vacant house, thinking Le would recover after a little rest. He leaves a wife and three children. Essentially a man of the soil, he preferred to be known as John Ford, and not as the brother of Henry Ford, friends told the United Press today. He was not jealous of his brother, they said, but he had a man’s pride in his individuality. When property values rose around Detroit, John subdivided his land.

SEEK NEW HELP IN BORER FIGHT Congress Will Be Asked to Aid With Millions. Bii Times Special WASHINGTON, S?pt. 28—An appropriation of $15,000,000 to $25,000,000 to control the spreat of the European corn borer probably will be voted by the coming congress and at the same time congressmen and Senators may demand more effective methods of control. Congress voted $10,000,000 at the last session to coptrol theravages of the com crop's deadliest enemy, but despite this, in Michigan, Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania, States where the fund is being spent, there are now 13 borers to 100 stalks, as compared with eight last year. In 1925 the borer population In the infested area was two to 100 stalks. Only in Ohio was there a decrease. The campaign against the borer was conducted this year over an area of 2,500,000 acres in the four States. In lowa, alone, there were $10,000,000 acres planted in corn and if the borer should cross the Mississippi River and reach that State, on the basis of the current appropriation it is estimated $40,000,000 would be necessary for lowa. Total corn acreage In the United States Is approximately 102,500,000. If the borer should continue Its present rate of increase, future appropriations for its eradication would make expenditures in the past for eradication of the boll weevil, cotton crop pest, seem insignificant.

Mother Declares Girl Was in Austin, Texas, When Blaze Was Started. Bu United Press GEORGETOWN, Texas, Sept. 28. —ln spite of identification of Mrs. Rebecca Bradley Rogers, former coed, in connection with incendiary burning of a building in Round Rock. Texas, defense attorneys directed by her young husband today were to continue their efforts to prove an alibi. Mrs. Grace Bradley, Mrs. Rogers’ mother, advanced the alibi plea shortly before the close of court yesterday, when she testified that her daughter met her at the office in which she was employed in Austin on the afternoon of the fire. The time of the meeting was approximately the same as the time the house in Round Rock caught fire. Mrs. Bradley said. Rogers Tells of Romance Otis Rogers today abandoned temporarily his role as chief counsel and became a witness. Rogers told the story of his romance with the girl he Is trying to save from prison. “I am proud to say she Is my wife,” he said. He told of his first meeting with the girl, and of their subsequent friendship and marriage at Georgetown Courthouse Oct. 28, 1925. The Rev. J. P. Darton, former pastor of the University Methodist Church at Austin, was called as a character witness for Mrs. Rogers. He told the court she was a model young woman, corroborating the testimony of Mrs. Bradley. Identified by Four Previously, Mrs. Rogers had been indentified by four State witnesses as ‘ Grace Lofton,” who represented herself as a newspaper reporter from Waco when she visited the Farmers’ Bank of Round Rock and asked concerning the town’s “fire habits.” It is the State theory that Mrs. Rogers planned to rob the bank while employes of the institution went to see the fire. One of the most positive Identifications was given by J. E. Redding, grocer, of Austin, who said he remembered Mrs. Rogers as the purchaser of a can, of kerosene and some matches on the day of the fire. His memory was intensified, he said, by the fact she gave him a worthless check for the purchase. Mrs. Rogers is also under indictment for robbing the State Bank of Buda of SI,OOO on Dec. 11. In that instance also, she was said to have represented herself as a newspaper reporter, gained the confidence of the bank officials, and held them up.

this, but that does not relieve the strain. A prominent senator, in expressing his belief recently that President Coolidge’s announcement that he did net intend to run was final and irrevocable, went carefully down the whole list of Presidents, and explained, that as he had read history, every one of them became very weary of the Job, and all, with one exception, were never happy afterward, most spending their last days in disillusionment, some few in poverty. “Taft is the only man, as far as I can learn, who has been happy after he left the White House,” he said. "And yet they all want the job,” he admitted, with a smile.
RAPID 30-YEAR GROWTH FOR CITYVISIONED Phone Company Forecast for 1955 Is Population of 626,150 Here. ALL INDIANA TO SHARE Bell Corporation Prepares to Meet Greater Demand in Future. \ Indianapolis, a city of 626,150 population in the year 1955. Such is the forecast of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company, which has made a comprehensive survey of the leading cities of the State. The commercial engineering department keeps in constant touch with the growth industrially, commercially and in population of all cities in the State in which the company operates. Its primary object is to estimate demand for telephone service at future periods. The department’s estimate of the city’s present population is 385,755 approximately 11,000 higher than the United States Census Bureau figures just announced, 374,300. 79,368 Phone Here Jan. 1 there were 79,368 telephones in operation here. Estimates of population and number of telephones for various periods in the future have been placed by the company as follows: By 1930, population 400,955, telephones 85,471. By 1940, population 500,065, telephones 124,220. By 1950, population 581,220, telephones 143,159. By 1955, population 626,150, telephones 156,537. The proportion of telephones to population in the estimate is higher for the future. Estimated number of telephones is based on the family unit, which constantly is growing smaller. Many Things Considered In preparing and revising these estimates, telephone engineers must consider natural resources, industries, attractions for new industries, railroad facilities, location, past growth, and many other points. Their survey covers the entire State. In forecasting the future oi’ Indianapolis, such matters as the phenomenal past growth and probable continuation at Gary and Hammond must be considered. Growth of the cities attracts residents from Indianapolis and other Indiana cities, as well as from outside. However, residents of other States come to fill then- places. Wage earners are attracted by Industries that can support them. Industries in turn frequently are attracted by natural resources. Whole State to Grow Indiana as a whole, the engineers report, is destined for a most satisfactory growth in the next thirty years. Such advantages as being the center of population for the United States, being in the heart of the market, good roads and railroad facilities are expected materially to increase the population. The heavies growth is expected in the steel district in the northern part of the State. This growth, however, will not be at the expense of Indianapolis, the estimates show.
