0. S. LAWYERS ARE SILENT ON CALLTO HAYS Steps to Obtain Testimony at Sinclair Trial Kept Secret. Bil United Press WASHINGTON, April s.—Government prosecutors in the Sinclair Teapot Dome case refused today to comment on suggestions that subpoena of Will H. Hays as a witness in the Sinclair trial starting next Monday night be necessary if published reports of his activities in the 1923 Teapot investigation were true. Hays is in France, and the Senate Teapot Committee may call him before it, but it is unlikely he could reurn in time to testify at the trial. So far as could be learned, no steps have been taken by the Government to obtain his testimony. Former Senator Atlee Pomcrene of the Government prosecution said ho knew nothing of the incident reported, in which Hays was credited with having coerced former Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall into writing his, 1923 letter naming E. B. McLean, Washington publisher, as the source of Fall’s previously unexplained affluence. Pomerene, who was present in El Paso recently at the taking of Fall’s deposition for use in Harry F. Sinclair’s defense in the trial here, starting Monday, said he could not disclose any of the contents of the testimony. The testimony is being transcribed in Ed Paso and probably will not be available for the court for eight or ten days, he said.

Is Pleasant to Use Miss Mildred Burns for example, contracted a cold which she kept neglecting until it had spread down into her bronchial tubes. The day following she coughed hard and had a high fever. Then, on the advice of her doctor, she started taking double strength doses of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral —a concentrated mixture cf wild cherry, terpin hydrate and other ingredients certified for home use by hospital physicians. With the first pleasant swallow she felt its comforting, healing warmth—from her nose passages deep down into her chest. Inside of a few hours congestion in her nose passages and chest began to clear up. By morning her excessive fever was gone, she was able to be out—and the day following, her doctor reports, the cold was gone entirely.

GEORGE DALE ATTACKS j TOM TAGGART STAND Raps Former Democratic Leader for Indorsing Dailey. George R. Dale, Muncie editor, j candidate for the Democratic nomi- ! nation for Governor, in a statement j today expressed resentment of the ; action of Thomas Taggart, veteran Indiana Democratic leader, in in- | dorsing the candidacy of Frank C. Dailey, for the Democratic guber- ! natorial nomination. “Indiana Democrats have outgrown the pleasant fiction that their votes may be controlled by the dictum of a one-time political boss who fondly believes his ultimatum expressed to Democrats should have all the binding force and effect of a Supreme Court decision” said Dale. “Mr. Taggart seeks not only to name the candidate for Governor but also to hog-tie and deliver the Indiana delegation to the Democratic national convention to be handed over at the opportune moment to some candidate whose name the sage of French Lick has not seen fit to disclose.” Dale promised to pledge eighteen State convention delegates from Delaware County “uncontrolled by a self-appointed dictator.”

corporation to operate the nitrate plants and power dams with an initial capital of $10,000,000 was described in the report as the beginning of a goal of unlimited expenditures. Nitrate plant No. 2 is obsolete, the Congressmen contend, and ought not to be utilized for fertilizer manufacture in a field that ought to be left to private enterprise. “There are better bills before the House than this one,” the report states, although none contains provision for paying back the $123,500,000 the Government lias already spent, which the minority group thinks essential.
FLAYS PLAN OF JURY SELECTING Urges Simple System in Addressing Bar. George M. Barnard, addressing the Indianapolis Bar Association at the April dinner at the Columbia Club, Wednesday night, pleaded for more stringent interpretation of the criminal code. Barnard stated that the present tendency was to attach too much importance to the maxim that “it is better that ninety-nine guilty men go free, than that oife innocent man be unjustly punished,” and not enough attention to the needy to protect society. He advocated the removal of politics in appointing police; the simplification of jury-picking, and the elimination of the requirement for unanimous verdicts, along with greater care in all the details of prosecution. Barnard was formerly a member of the public service commission, was prosecutor of Henry County and mayor of Newcastle. He is at present a member of the firm of Ralston, Gates, Van Nuys & Barnard, attorneys. A committee, composed of Judge Merrill Moores, Judge Charles Remster, Judge Sidney Miller, Frederick Van Nuys and Howard Young, was appointed to study the Robinson bill, now in Congress, which provides for the division of Indiana into two Federal districts. The decision of the association will be communicated to Representative Updike before the bill comes to a vote. CRIME LAID TO RICH Common Man Gets His Idea From High Places, Says Landis.

The badge of discipleship with Jesus Christ is the secret of enduring power in the world, and the business or professional man who wears that badge has the greatest opportunity in the world, declared Dr. A. W. P’ortune of Lexington, Ky„ pastor of Central Christian Church, in his fourth Lenten noonday address at Keith's Theater Thursday noon. The two weeks’ Lenten services, which have been held under the auspices of the Church Federation of Indianapolis, will be brought to a close Friday noon with a Good Friday message. Dr. Fortune, who spoke on “The Badge of Discipleship,” declared that followers of Jesus Christ were the most courageous souls on earth. ‘ The one who follows Jesus Christ today must spend himself in humble service for others. Jesus said; ‘I am among you as he that serveth.’ He told his disciples that they were to have that attitude toward others.”
