brought against Shumaker and Watcon also agreed with me. “I never have, at any time, tried to influence this honorable court, directly or indirectly. I never have tried to influence the attorney general. I never have asked friends to talk to the honorable court or to the attorney general. “I never wrote a letter to anybody in Indiana or any place in the world. I never mentioned this case in a public speech.” Judge Travis leaned over the bench and said: “Senator Robinson is not on trial.” Under cross questioning by Defense Attorney James Bingham Sr., Walb said Shumaker had not asked him to see any of the judges. Calls Interest Powerful “I understood if I could convert Mr. Gilliom it would help Shumaker’s case and better the political situation, ■” he reiterated. Walb said, with emphasis, that he “knew Dr. Shumaker’s efforts against a ticket have their effect.” “You know what this Anti-Saloon League is, don’t you?” asked Bingham. “Why, yes,” Walb replied slowly, “it’s some folks, with Dr. Shumaker at the head of it.” Informed by Bingham as to the objects of the organization, Walb drawled: “Yes, it’s some sort ol arrangement.” Minister Takes Stand The Rev. G. F. Hubbartt, pastor of the M. E. Church at Auburn for the last two and a half years, and for five years pastor of Walb’s church, at La Grange, followed the Republican chairman to the stand. He said that Shumaker addressed his congregation in September, 1927, but made no reference in the service to his case. Also, he denied Shumaker had asked him to write a letter to Walb asking him to use his influence and that of the Republican party in Shumaker’s behalf. The letter was offered as a State exhibit, but on objection by the defense it was not admited. Depositions Admitted Depositions of Henry Lane Wilson, former United State Ambassador to Mexico, and Senator James E. Watson were admitted as evidence, on motion of Attorney General Gilliom. Attorney Bingham, defense counsel; objected on the ground that if the Shumaker case was a criminal trial, Wilson and Watson should have been in court. The court overruled the objection, with Justice Martin dissenting. Attorneys for Shumaker contend that Shumaker twice had been jeopardized for the same offense and that the contempt penalty assessed by the court violated the United States Constitution. In event the court sustains the contention of James Bingham. Sr., Shumaker’s attorney, that Shumaker was a member of the press when he made his report to the league, the case will be carried direct to the United States Supreme Court. This is possible because only the Supreme Court can determine whether the United States Constitution has been violated in such instance, it was stated.

MVIimTIOM

SODAY 6,500 English officials (escorted by an army of 228,000 soldiers) rule- 294,000,000 Hindus. The British have introduced better methods of economic production and political organization; they have put an end to infanticide and the suttee (which required a woman to be buried, sometimes alive, with her dead husband); they have improved transportation and begun to guard against famine; in many ways they have given the Hindus a better government than they might have provided for themselves. And doubtless India, like the Argentine Republic and the United States, has cotton and wheat which England sorely needs. But how brave Englishmen, brought up on the finest traditions of freedom, can look upon India without shame and horror is one of the seven wonders of the modern world. u tt tt HE picture today is of glory departed. i— ■—l The fertile fields are busy with fertile natives, laboring to raise rice, tea, cotton and wheat to feed and clothe nations of which they have never heard. The birth rate is high, but the death rate well nigh equals it. Filth is everywhere and famine comes with reliable regularity to keep the population down. In 1770 and again in 1900 the failure of the monsoon rains starved half a hundred million. In the modern cities, Bombay, Calcutta, Cawppore, Madras, etc., there are factories in early English style, where weavers and other toilers work old-fashioned hours for oldfashioned pay. The old handicrafts are disappearing as the inevitable factory advances. The artisans in silk and rugs and ivory and wood are dying out, and their skill is passing with them. At Benares hand-made silks, woven on domestic looms, are still made in small quantity and high quality, and sold for great prices, though the weavers and embroiderers are paid but a few pennies a day. At Delhi the finest weavers in India are gathered in the factory of a native capitalist who justly prides himself on paying the comparatively generous wage of 18 cents a day. From the Province of Cashmere came formerly the loveliest shawls in the world; but that glory, too, is gone. nun MODERN INDIA SHE weavers and embroiderers are men, for the women are too low in status to enjoy access even to the industrial arts. Until 1927 the girls were married off by their parents at an early age, sometimes years before they were sent to their husbands. If, meanwhile, their unseen spouses died, they had to accept a widowed chastity to the end. For though the English abolished the suttee in 1829, the Hindus make an outcast of the woman who consents to live while her husband is in the grave. No one would think of marrying her. It is one of a thousand superstitions (or intuitions) of the Hindu that a wife is always responsible for her husband’s death. While he lives she is his faithful slave, for adultery is not as popular in India as it is in prosperous countries. There are courtesans in India as everywhere, but, strange to say, it is in the temples that the Nautch girls do their most voluptuous dancing and offer themselves promiscuously to men. Education is primitive; and though one sees students living lives of service and poverty for the privilege of learning the Brahman’s lore, ninety per cent of the men and ninety-five per cent of the women are illiterate. ' Perhaps reading is a superfluous accomplishment which in our days of million-voiced propaganda has become an impediment to the acquisition of truth, but its rarity in India leaves a very smart clientele for Hindus who would write great literature. Since Kalidasa composed his plays far back in the third century, and Amir Khusrau, the Moslem poet, sang in the thirteenth, India has given no name to the world but that of Rabindranath Tagore; and it is not Hindus who read Tagore. pJTI UT then, in the midst of uniI H I versal superstition and povLtM erty, one comes at Agra, at Delhi, at Ahmedabad, upon some of the finest architecture in the world. India, like Egypt and unlike China, has been weak in painting, barbarous in sculpture and magnificent in architecture. The Mogul emperors, as an adage has it, designed like giants and finished like jewelers. * India architecture, true to the rule, began with funeral mounds—-

topes or stupas built to preserve the relics of holy men. Later the Hindus carved temples out of the solid natural rock, as at Karli (75 B. C.) and Ellore (760 A. D.), and chiselled the surface in such detail that one would almost class these works as statuary. Too eftei* the carving is excessive and bizarre; one temple appropriately gets its name from the superabundant monkeys with which it is adorned. Better taste came with Mohammedians, who brought with them that patience for delicate detail which Europeans may sample at the, Alhambra. The Saracenic style in India has left us splendid mosques and tombs; at Agra, for example, the tomb of Etmah Dowleh—with a facade which is a marvel of embroidery in stone; and the “Pearl Mosque,” so-called because built of white marble unstained except by Koran inscriptions inlaid with precious gems. Os the Mogul architects how shall one speak who has has not seen their work? We are told of the beauty of Ahmed’s tomb at Ahmedabad, and of Sheik-Selim’s at Fattehpur; of the palaces of the Moguls at Delhi, whose mosaics are rated as the finest ever made; of the Diwan-i-’Am, or Hall of Public Audience, with its graceful colonnades; above all of the Taj Mahal (that is “Crown of all Palaces”), which is called by many architects the most beautiful building in the world. This last and greatest glory of the Moguls was built at Agra in 1629 by order of Shah Jehan to commemorate a wife who died in presenting him with her fourteenth child. Jehan brought together, for the tasks of direction and design, a Persian, Ustad Isa; an Italian, Geronimo Verroneo, and a Frenchman, Austin de Bordeaux. Judging from other works by the same hand in India, it is particularly the last name that should be enshrined in the memory of those who honor artists more than kings. Perhaps the west will outlive its imperialistic fever, or burn itself out in fratricidal war, or lie left behind as other lands alchemize their soils’ metals into gold; and India, which had sages and saints when Europe was a waste, may be left again to seek truth and goodness without losing manhood and freedom. , Bullies die young, soon weeded out by their own violence; and it may be so with States. Not today, despite that other Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, can India shake the lion'off; but the time will come when she will be strong again, and the mighty will be put down from their seats. It would be in the characteristic humor of history if the patient Hindu should be writing wisdom and build-ing beauty when the nations that now grind their heels upon his face are left ruined and desolte with strife.

SANTA ALWAYS CONFUSED BY CITITHIRCLE Times y Writer Visits Noted Friend of Children in His Home. Here is another story from Holly Berry. The Indianapolis Times’ special correspondent who accompanied the Kleinschmidt-Times expedition into the Far North to try to locate Santa Clans and take motion pictures of him. Radiograms telling how they succeeded have been published in The Times. In this and succeeding articles Berry will tell of the long search. By HOLLY BERRY Special Correspondent of The Times in Eskimoland NORTH POLEVILLE, ESKIMOLAND, Nov. 21—(By radio).—Santa Claus stood smiling . right amid thousands of toys in his great snow castle here after learning where I came from told me the names of many Indianapolis children whom he knew personally. It made me feel right at home, in spite of the long trip over endless ice floes our party had been forced to make to reach this jovial old man’s horhe. The memory of months of weary fighting through blinding snow storms, up icy cliffs and down into frozen valleys, of which I have told you in previous stories, melted like the ice from our beards as we sat before the fire in the cozy room and heard Santa tell of his Indianapolis experiences. Circle Puzzles Santa “You know, that Monument Circle in Indianapolis always get me cor - fused,” Santa said, with a chuckle as he recalled having been delayed time after time trying to guide his reindeers off the Circle at the proper street. "One Christmas eve I left a doll in a boy’s stocking out on N. Meridian St., and an air rifle in a little girl’s Christmas tree out on E. Market St., and got everything else all backwards because I got turned around driving above the Monument,” Santa recalled with a smile. “I got all the way to Kokomo before I noticed my mistake and had to come back and change them a\ I wouldn’t have noticed it when I got to Kokomo, I don’t suppose, except that I should have been in Terre Haute.” z' a Makes You Feel at Home I,’hen Santa threw himself back in his big leather chair and laughed until big tears rolled down his fat cheeks, which were as red and wrinkled as a straw-berry. A few minutes before we had been awed by the splendor of this fairy-like castle. It hardly seemed possible that we could be made to feel so completely at home in so short a time. But we did. Here we were laughing and joking with the most famous man in Jhe world, and the most loved! A few minutes before we knew him only by reputation, but now we had shook the hand that has given boys and girls wonderful presents every

Your Winter Supply of Coal —Buy It From An Established Reliable Dealer

Most people buy coal on faitli. Less scrupulous dealers sometimes take advantage of this faith and substitute an inferior coal for the one asked for. The established reliable dealer expects to get your business next year if he pleases you this season. He is more apt to deliver exactly what you ask for. You have a right to be suspicious of the dealer who hides his identity behind a telephone number. You have a right to demand the same degree of business integrity of your coal man, whether large or small, that you would expect from any other business institution. Be sure that the source from which your coal comes is dependable. Be sure that you will know where to go in the event the coal delivered you is not of the grade ordered. Some persons purchase from irresponsible dealers only to discover that they cannot be located when the coal turns out to be other than that ordered. Get advice about the coal that is suitable for your purpose from a reliable dealer. He is more qualified to advise you than well-meaning amateurs. No matter whom you buy from. An Indianapolis Ordinance provides that they must give you a delivery ticket on which is written, among other things, the kind of coal, its name, etc., a description of the coal, as to grade, etc., and the amount delivered. Insist on getting this delivery ticket and KEEP it. If it is not given to you, request it. The name on the slip will enable you to prove what kind you ordered in case of controversy. All reliable dealers will be only too glad to comply with your request. The dealer who becomes indignant at this perfectly business-like request is the dealer it might be wise to avoid.

Worried Mother Grateful as Clinic Shows How to Give Quick Relief at Home A safe, sure method of treating colds—so pleasant children love it —is no?/ being recommended for home use by physicians because of its splendid record in hospital, private practice and in so many Indianapolis homes. Vast numbers of mothers here have found that it brings the same quick, sure and lasting relief that came to little jlstellc, eight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Walker. She caught a severe cold while cut playing on a drizzly day. Next momlng her chest was tight, nose stopped up and temperature was high. By noon congestion was settling in her bronchial tubes. Mrs. Walker called her doctor. He immediately ordered the child to bed end prescribed hourly doses of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral—a concentrated mixture of ingredients which hospitals have found to be the quickest, safest and surest to end colds. With the very first pleasant swallow she felt its comforting, healing warmth—from her nose passages deep down into her chest. Relief began immediately and in a day or to all traces of the cough and cold were gone. Note: See o'tbcr cases reported daily

More than 2,000 Shortridge high school students left classes this morning, at 10:30 for a jubilant march from the school to Monument Circle in celebration of their 19 to 0 defeat of Technical High School and their 33 to 0 victory over Manual Training High School in the City Public High School championship football series. With the school band leading students staged a snake dance to the Monument steps where the team was introduced. As each of the twenty-four gridiron warriors stepped to the fore, Circle buildings echoed the cheers. George Buck, principal, introduced Emmett Rice, vice principal, and Dr. Herbert T. Wagner, alumnus and football squad physician, who gave short talks. Russell Julius, Fred Rouch and Lieut. Fred Naylor, assistant coaches, spoke. Alonzo Goldsbcrry, football mentor, thanked students for their support. The celebration ended as students reported back at school to be dismissed for the day.
