More than 400 members of the National Spiritualist Association, in Indianapolis for their annual convention, attended a seance in the Claypool which was devoid of the ordinary mystic trappings, but which obtained the desired results. John Slater, famed medium of Oakland, Cal., conducted the seance. There was no slate writing, no bell ringing, no unearthly wailing and no table knocking, but Slater satisfied his hearers with his messages supposedly from the spirit world. One message, however, remained unanswered. It was a message directed to Itarold Libowitz, burned fatally in the mystery blast and fire in the Edward Traugott store Aug. 26, by a Times reporter.

LESLIE’S CHARGES AGAINST FRANK C. DAILEY BRANDED FALSE BY JUDGE ANDERSOt Federal Jurist Flatly Denies He Ever ‘Had to Prod’ Former District Attorney to Battle Corruption. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IS LAUDED G. O. P. Governor Aspirant Attempts to Toss Ed Jackson Overboard in His Speech to Ft. Wayne Audience. Federal Judge Albert B. Anderson, in Chicago today, gave to a representative of The Times a flat denial of a statement of Ilarry G. Leslie, Republican candidate for Governor, that Anderson had had to “prod” Frank C, Dailey into prosecuting political corruption cases when Dailey was United States district attorney here. Dailey is Democratic nominee for Governor and Leslie has been attempting to belittle his record of having sent more than sixty members of his own party from Indianapolis and Terre Haute to Federal prison for vote frauds in 1917. Anderson then was district judge here. He now is on the bench of the Circuit Court of Appeals.

Leslie made the statement that Anderson had “kicked Dailey to glory” in a speech at Ft. Wayne, Tuesday night. The denial of Judge Anderson follows: “That I either publicly or privately prodded Frank C. Dailey as United States district attorney into action in cases of political corruption is not rue. Always Zealous, Upright “He was at all times vigilant, zealous and upright. He prosecuted his fellow partisans as well as those of opposite political faith. At no time did I suggest that he was either derelict or negligent in his duties.” Judge Anderson prefaced the formal statement with the remark that he had no desire to enter a political controversy, but that decency and justice seemed to demand that he enter a disclaimer when direct charges were made involving his own actions. The Leslie statement was the first definite declaration in the long campaign of innuendo. “There can hardly be a controversy on the facts,” said Anderson. ’ Frank Dailey never needed any officer of my court at any time was prod where duty was concerned. No more upright or vigilant. He invited and received the esteem and confidence not only of myself as judge, but of all citizens.” Besides maligning Dailey, Leslie at Ft. Wayne Tuesday night attempted to clear his campaign skirts of Governor Ed Jackson. Hits at Jackson Touching on the statute of limitations under which Governor Jackson was freed in the bribery con-

SCHOOL BUS CRASHES Twenty-Three Hurled to Road Near Dublin. Bn Times Special DUBLIN, Ind., Oct. 10.—Twentythree school children were cut and bruised near here today when a bus driven by Harry Henley overturned after being struck by an auto driven by Dr. C. E. Test, a local veterinarian. Dr. Test’s son, 6, who was riding with him was severely bruised. None of the twenty-three children in the bus escaped injury. The most seriously hurt are Ruth and Alberta Huddleston, cut on arms; Helena and James Hall, cut on head, and Bertie Hoover, back wrenched. After the two machines struck, the bus in overturning hurled its youthful passengers into the road Dr. Test said he was driving about twenty-five miles an hour. Growing corn obscures vision of persons approaching a road intersection where the crash occurred.

In New Zealand, Byrd will plan immediately to move on to the Bay cf Whales and establish a base from which his expedition will work dur-„ ing the eighteen months it will spend in the Antarctic.

spiracy case here last spring, he said:. “I cannot subscribe to the theory that the technicality known as the ‘running of the statute of limitations,’ in itself and of itself constitutes a “proof of the innocence of the accused.” Jackson refused to comment after reading the speech. To a crowd of Republican banqueters and his radio audience Leslie voiced the conclusion: “My friend Mr. Dailey is badly mistaken when he tells us that the Indiana people are yearning’ for a return to r ,he sort of State administration the Tammany crowd gave Indiana some twelve or more years ago ” Leslie repeated his declaration that he is “free, footloose and untrammeled,” and added he has never “resorted to shifty methods or expediency measures.” Dailey is “pussy-footing,” he said, with respect to Governor Alfred E. Smith’s advocacy of modification of liquor laws. “Picked by Tammany” “Dailey,’ 'said Leslie, “was picked by Tammany and he will be licked by the people of. Indiana.” “Would Mr. Dailey, in furtherance of the Smith-Tammany program. follow the New York lead and demand the repeal of dry enforcement legislation in Indiana?” Imputing a Tammany aspect to Dailey’s nomination, which, incidentally. preceded Smith’s by three weeks, Leslie said that Tammany’s “powers-that-be” met in secret caucus in the spring of 1927 and selected Dailey for the governorship race, shifting Evans Woollen to the presidential race to get rid of him. “One of the saddest, and yet one of the funniest movies in this campaign, said Leslie, “is the picture of Frank C. Dailey holding on his phoney halo with one hand while trying to keep his grip on the tail of the Tammany Tiger with the other.” Attempting to belittle Dailey’s elegtion-fraud prosecution, Leslie turned to ridicule with "if Frank Dailey earned any fame through sending the Tammany bunch of election fraud workers to prison, he should thank Judge Anderson for kicking him to glory.” “Greedy Utility” Attorney Swinging from the paradoxical portrayal of Dailey, at once the product and prosecutor of Tammany, Leslie launched a tirade against his opponent’s law firm for having served as utility counsel in hearings before the public service commission, particularly that of telephone Interests which resulted in a rate Increase. “A greedy utility attorney” was the appellation Leslie gave Dailey in interpreting the latter’s pledge to revamp personnel of the commission as a scheme to give him the power to name the commissioners. "I have no quarrel and you have no quarrel with these public utility lawyers for practicing law in whatever field they may find most lucrative,” Leslie said. “We do object when they try to put one of their number in the Governor’s chair to name the public service commissioh members and to appoint judges where vacancies occur.” GANNA WALSKA TOSES Mellon Rules Duty on Jewels, Clothes Must Be Paid.
