DISPLA Y NEW CARS IN PERFECT SETTING AT A UTO SHO W

LARGE CROWD VIEWS EXHIBITS ON FIRST NIGHT Striking Color Scheme Is Used in Decorations; Flowers in Profusion. SPECIAL DAYS ARE SET Extreme Luxury Outstanding Feature of Motor Models Being Shown. When the doors opened on the seventeenth annual Indianapolis Auto Show promptly at 7 o’clock Monday night the public found not only the most striking exhibit of cars in the city’s automobile history, but the last word in decorations and display. Everything was ready to the smallest detail at the hour of opening—unusual in any large show. A color scheme of pale yellow and pale blue was carried out in the hangings and a profusion of artificial and cut flowers formed a perfect setting for the cars. The Trianaon Girls’ Orchestra played during the evening and will play each afternoon and night during the remainder of the show. Large Cnvd at Opening Every effrt has been made to assure the comfort and security of guests by the Indianapolis Auto Trade Association, under whose auspices the show is held. Adequate parking space is to be had and a special detail of police are on duty inside as well as outside of the building. A service car is provided by the Hoosier Motor Club to attend to any necessary repairs. Despite the unfavorable weather, a large crowd was on hand at the opening of the show. According to John Orman, auto enthusiasts are seldom kept away by weather conditions. In conformity with custom president John Orman has named the days of the show as follows; Tuesday, Indianapolis day; Wednesday, Out-State Dealers day; Thursday, Civic Clubs day; Friday, Society night; Saturday, Everybody’s day. Cars are Luxurious Noticeable at this year's show is the extreme luxury of the cars on view, and the wealth and variety of color. Upholstery and hardware touch a point of perfection never reached before and are to be found in cars of every size, make and price. Color is an item of unusual importance. Everything new in the way of colors and combinations fs being shown, but conservatism seems to be the keynote. Dark greens or the quieter shades of green are popular and a great deal of maroon is being used with lighter stream lines to relieve the somber note. Gray, silver, cream and pale yellow are all good in many makes of car. Leather upholstery is used on closed cars as well as open models and much of it is light in color. Rich velours, soft rugs and handsome silver and nickel fittings add a note of dignity to closed cars which are in predominance in spite of the swank and style of the sport roadsters. Factory representatives from all over the country have been unanimous in their praise of the Indianapolis show which they regard as superior in many ways to any show at which they have exhibited this year.

RISK REPLY AWAITED Lebanon Man’s Statement at ‘Dry’ Meet Under Fire. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom today was awaiting a reply to a second letter to J. Kirby Risk of Lebanon before determining what action he would take, if any, in regard to Risk’s statement that the prosecution of Superintendent E. S. Shumaker of the Indiana Anti-Sa-loon League for contempt of court was “the persecution of a Christian gentleman. Risk’s statement was made at the Indiana “Dry” convention two weeks ago.’ Gilliom’s first letter asked confirmation of newspaper accounts of Risk's statement. Risk replied: “My recollection is that I said this was the ‘persecution in court of a Christian gentleman,’ meaning thereby that your vindictive efforts to have this Christian gentleman imprisoned at the Penal Farm were on your part a persecution and in my judgment a prostitution of your office.” BAN U.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

JACKSON WILL TAKE STAND IN OWNJIEFENSE Has Chosen to Teil All, Jones Says; Amazing Story Hinted. Governor Ed Jackson will take the stand and tell his version of the story of the alleged offer to Former Governor Warren T. McCray for which he is on trial in the Marion Criminal Court. This came out through the statement of Defense Attorney Clyde Jones Monday afternoon in the defense address to the jury. And the chief executive of the State is not going on under pressure by his own attorneys. He has elected to do it himself. “Governor Jackson will testify in this case,” Jones said. “He will take the stand, look you gentlemen in the eye and tell you what this case is. He will open to this jury and prosecutor, his whole life from the cradle to the present. Jackson's Career Traced Jones traced Jackson's career from boyhood through his struggles as a young lawyer in Henry County and his seven years as Henry Circuit Court judge at New Castle . “Elected Secretary of State, Jackson resigned the office,” said Jones, “when the great war came on. He tendered his service to his country, entered the officers’ training corps at Ft. Benjamin Harrison and came out a captain, assigned to direct military training at Purdue University, whire he served with integrity and distinction.” Honorably discharged a major, Jackson, Jones recounted, wes appointed to fill an unexpired term in the office of secretary of State and then was elected and re-elected to the post. In 1924 he was elected governor. Says Bishop Wanted McDonald “During twenty or twenty-one years in public life/’ said Jones, “not one word ever was uttered intimating misconduct against him. Certain persons who have been behind this charge have failed to find one act of misconduct. “The evidence will disclose that the Governor is no more guilty of conspiring to bribe Warren T. McCray than any man in this jury box. His only connection with the matter of a successor to William P. Evans, as Marion County prosecutor, was at the behest of Bishop H. H. Fout, who asked him to recommend the appointment of James E. McDonald. “Bishop Fout had no interest other than to serve a member of his flock. “On Dec. 8, 1923, Jackson spoke to McCray about Fout's request. McCray replied: ‘I am going to appoint Remy, but the commission has not been issued.’ “An hour or two later, Jackson’s phone rang. It was McCray calling Jackson to the Governor’s office. Open as a Book “‘I just called you in to say that that matter is all settled and the commission has been issued to Remy,’ McCray told Jackson,” Jones asserted. “Everything Jackson did is as open as a book, with no effort at concealment on his part.” Jones said evidence might show that others sought to control the appointment by foul means, but that Jackson was not involved. He related that "Robert Lyons, who was connected with an organization that supported Governor Jackson in the primary and election, showed Jackson a list of forty-two names of persons that he wanted appointed to State positions. Jackson refused to consider it.” New Sensations Hinted When charges against the Governor were published in The Times, Jackson was reluctant to make a reply, Jones said, because of his dignity and modesty and because he didn’t believe anyone in Indiana would believe the charges. “Then when he did write a letter of denial,” Jones added, “the State said he was guilty because he denied it. “If the evidence goes deep enough, it will bring astounding and startling revelations. It will be such a sordid sickening story that your hearts will go out in sympathy when you go to your jury room, rather than condemn him. “Whatever took place,” Jones concluded, "evidence will show that the prosecuting attorney had knowledge of the alleged offense more than two years before therindictment was returned, Sept. 30, 1927, and did nothing until he coupled the name of the governor with it.” SLAYS SISTER-IN-LAW Jealous Detroit Man Kills Girl in Beauty Parlor. By United Press DETROIT, Feb. 14.—Jealousy, police believed today, prompted Thomas V. Rath, 30, former policeman, to seek out his sister-in-law, Kathryn McAnulla, 21, formerly of Akron, Ohio, at a beauty parlor where she worked, shoot her to death and then fatally wound himself.

Steve, Brisk and Confident, Faces Accused Jackson in Dramatic Scene

THE convicted faced the accused in Marion Criminal Court, Monday afternoon and today for the first time in almost four years. This time it was not as friend to friend, one supporting the other in his political aspirations, but as one who has been behind prison walls against another who is making a tremendous legal fight to emerge from the overwhelming shadow. The one who sat in the witness chair was D. C. Stephenson, former Indiana Klan dragon, onetime boastful of his being “the law in Indiana,” now merely a life prisoner in the Indiana State Prison.

WILBUR URGES LARGER NAVY Secretary Defends Ship Building Program Here. Defense of his proposed $750,000,000 eight-year building program for the United States Navy was voiced by Curtis D. Wilbur, secretary of the navy, before the Indianapolis Credit Mens Association at the Columbia Club, Monday night. Wilbur came here from Washington, accompanied by Captain George F. Neal, his personal aide. He was received by Felix McWhirter, commander of the Naval Reserve here and civilian aid to Wilbur. “It is not true we are planning a fleet superior to that of Great Britain.” Wilbur asserted. What America spends for luxuries was compared with proposed naval expenditures by the secretary. He pointed out that American women spent $1,825,000,000 for cosmetics in 1925; $36,000,000,000, a sum almost equivalent to the entire cost of the World War to America, is spent in twenty years for tobacco; automobiles in 1925 cost $3,000,000,000 and their operation cost $2,400,000,000; $7,000,000,000 was spent on moving picture admissions, and women’s jewelry cost $500,000,000 he pointed out.

ENGINEERS CONSIDER RIVER FLOODS, POWER Control Projects Discussed at Midwest Conference. By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 14.—America’s foremost engineers gathered here today for the third annual Midwest power conference to consider general flood control, power problems of the Mississippi, Tennessee and St. Lawrence River systems and the Boulder Dam project on the Colorado River. * Approximately 2,000 of the leading engineers of the power, public utilities, and manufacturing industries were present when Major Rufus W.

phenson sat silent on the stand for more than an hour. His gaze frequently swept the courtroom. He changed his position often and frequently seemed to take suppressed delight in arguments of attorneys. He appeared little unchanged from the Stephenson who received Jackson, according to statements made before in court cases, at his palatial Irvington home in 1924, when the gubernatorial candidate would stop in for conferences after speaking tours. He had the same general appearance as the man who sat his well-secretaried and heavily-guarded office in an E. Washington St. building, and received political workers and office aspirants; the man who would pick up dummy telephones and give orders that never went farther than his front office. n * n “OTEVE” looked better physik3 cally this time than he has on other visits to the city, when he testified in civil cases and before the county grand jury. Fifteen feet in front of him sat the highest State executive, listening intently to every word spoken by the witness, although they were but few. Three times in the afternoon the eyds of Jackson and Stephenson locked—not in that embrace of confidence that must have shown four years ago as they mapped out political plans—but both in a seemingly challenging attitude. n n n THE “Old Mas if the Klan was neatly fd and well shaven. His sentences were brisk. He leaned on the arms of the chair with one hand or the other to his face. He yawned once when the arguments of counsel seemed to bore him. He nonchalantly raised his right hand to cover the gesture. He turned once and smiled at reporters who were seated behind him. He was dressed in a dark blue suit, a dark tie and striped white shirt. His hair seemed slightly thinner than before. When he left the stand he returned to the grand jury room and was taken to jail through the underground tunnel. His Michigan City guards spent the night in a downtown hotel.
