FINAL STAB IN POLITICAL QUIZ IS NtEDICTED Niblack Obtains Subpoenas After Visit in Evansville for Last Two Days. Several witnesses are expected tb appear before the Marion County grand jury Monday in what seems to be an effort of prosecutors to make a final stab at alleged political corruption before the present jury is formally dismissed Dec, 31. After a long conference, Deputy Prosecutor John L. Niblack, who has been in Evansville for two days, and Special Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson obtained t4n subpoena blanks for Niblack. Pour blanks bore the official seal of Criminal Court while the remainder were signed by a deputy clerk. Refuse to Reveal Plans Niblack and other officials refused to reveal the plans. It was said the move under way was “something big" and will not be uncovered until the witnesses are brought before the probe body. James Parker of Bremen, Ind.; R. H. Donehew of Indianapolis and Willis Dye of Kokomo, Ind., were expected to be among those called. Parker at one time was believed to have possession of D. C. Stephenson’s “black boxes.” Witnesses called will be those whose names were supplied by L. G. Julian, former business associate of Stephenson, who testified three hours Monday, and by Stephenson, who talked to the jury almost four hours Wednesday afternoon, it was said. It is believed that Niblack went through files of D. C. Stephenson’s correspondence in possession of L. G. Julian, Stephenson’s former partner, at Evansville. Julian was before the jury for several hours last week. Niblack arrived in Evansville Tuesday evening. Stephenson was brought before the jury from Indiana State Prison Wednesday afternoon. Interested in Letters Prom Evansville, however, came news that Niblack arrived with Harry Ranger, a railroad detective and former deputy sheriff. He told Evansville newspaper men that he would ask Sheriff Shelby McDowell of Evansville about a subpoena for Julian to appear before the grand jury here, left with the sheriff a year ago. Julian is said to have stated that the subpoena never was served upon him. That was at the time detectives and newspaper men were searching for Julian in several States. Julian has a large bale of Stephenson’s letters. Special Prosecutor Emsley W. Johnson went through this correspondence at the time Julian turned over Stephenson’S black boxes to him on a farm near Washington, Ind., last summer.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

VENUS IS GOAL OF LATEST AIR TRIPJPROPOSAL 2400-Wile-a-Minute flight Would* Draw Power From Space. ZV/ United Press MIAMI, Fla., Dec. 16.—The most fantastic project ever devised a flight to the planet Venus, millions of miles away, was announced today. The man who proposes to make Jules Verne’s trip to the moon look like child's play is Robert Condit, 35, of Condit, Ohio, an obscure chemist and engineer. With intense earnestness, he insisted at the workshop where he is assembling his invention that the trip is feasible. "The motive power for the machine,” he said, “to be used tnrougn the earth’s atmosphere for the first thirty or forty miles will be principally from a slow explosive derived from the most powerful alkali known—peroxide of sodium—used as a direct propeller. "After leaving the earth's atmosphere the propelling power will be a network of units capable of being polarized with the attraction cf other planets and orbits of meteor streams other than the earth’s. The necessary maximum speed for such a flight would be 2,400 miles a minute.” Condit, ex-service man, arrived here a week ago and began the construction of a building resembling an airplane hangar at the surf’s edge. Next he built about it a board fence six feet high. He refused to discuss more secret details of his experiment, although he apparently has adequate financial backing. He will not be ready for his attempt before Jan. 24. COLLEGE HEADS MEET Nicholas Murray Butler Guest at Reorganization Session. Twelve Indiana college presidents attended a reorganization meeting of the Association of Church Colleges of Indiana at the Lincoln Hotel today, and heard an address by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butle, president of Columbia University. Dr. Butler s appearance was a surprise. He came as the guest of Dr. Robert Aley, Buc;er cone;,president. Dr. I. J. Good, Indiana Central College president and association president, presided at the meetings and luncheon at which Dr. Butler also was a guest. Girl Fires School in Death Attempt BROOKLYN, Dec. 16.—Mildred Dorio, 14, wasn’t allowed to play with other children at school, so she set fire to the schoolhouse, hoping she would perish in the flames.

DOUBLE TAXING OF INCOMES IS HELDJLLEGAL Wisconsin Wins Victory in Ruling of Appeals Board of U. S. Bat United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Wisconsin has won a sweeping victory against double taxation in a ruling by the United States board of tax appeals that the State income tax imposed in 1919, was deductible from gross incomes for that year when calculating Federal income tax on the accrual method of accounting. The board’s summary of the decision, made in the appeal of Ira L. Henry Company, Watertown, Wis., was made public today. It read: “The normal income tax imposed by the State of Wisconsin upon its taxpayers’ income for 1919 accrued and became a fixed liability on Dec. 31, 1919. “It, therefore, was a proper deduction from gross income for that year for the purpose of the Federal income tax upon the accrual method, of accounting, notwithstanding such tax did not become due and payable until the subsequent year. “The fact that receipts for any personal property tax subsequently assessed and paid shall be ‘accepted by the tax collector to their full amount in payment of income taxes assessed against such person* doea not postpone the accrual of income tax.” WILD CHECKS MAILED Checks were !n the mall today for 2,000 depositors in the defunct J. F. Wild and Company State bank, according to Eugene H. Iglehart, coreceiver. The checks represent 40 per cent of the depositors’ accounts, allowed last week by Probate Court Judge Mahlon E. Bash About sixty preferred claims also were paid Thursday and today. The largest of these was to the Columbia Club Realty Company for $23,700.
