—* Radio GRIEF GALORE DESCENDS ON RADIO OWNERS Many Interference Cases Traced to Sources by Times Engineer. The Indianapolis Times Radio Interference engineer has had an unusually heavy mail lately, complaining about increased interference. So W. A. Jacoby, the engineer, has been working in various sections of the city, to clean up as many cases of trouble as possible. The first section to get attention was around Rural and Brobkside avenue. Many letters have been received from this district and after a care ful check by the Times engineer it has been cleared of the many troublesome noises found by the radio listeners. The Times Radio Interference Engineer would like the fans to make any reports of a reoccurence of any of the many causes of trouble, as it is impossible to clear up everything and make it stay clear. The sections in thus city Without some type of trouble are lew, but due to the ur tiring effort Os the Times many cases of major interference have been found and Cleared. Much Trouble Found The next section to get attention was that of Thirtieth and Delaware sheets. Several different types of trouble were found in this section, such as air pump motors, stop lights, defective wiring and grounded circuits due to recent rains. This section soon will be cleared and the fans will have good radio reception. The trouble around Fifteenth street and Park avenue was checked and the cause of this trouble has been found. This trouble has been reported and will be cleared within the next few da'^s. This is one of the many cases of trouble caused by the rainy season. The interference repotted by the fans living in the section bounded by Capitol avenue, Missouri, Walnut and Pratt streets was found to be caused by several different types of trouble. Car Line Brings Grief The main trouble in this section was found to be by the Northwestern street car line that runs out Senate eaveneue. The car line along this section was tound to have many broken bounds on the rails and during the test the street cars could be heard on the radio for many blocks. This is the first- interference test made by The Times in this section and it will take time to find the different causes of interferences and get them cleared. The Irvington interference around Ellenberger park has been reported cleared by the radio fans who live in this district. Tit is interference was giving many fans in this section a lot of trouble. The Times engineer made a recheck of this section and found that all interference has been removede so as to make reception perfect. If you have a radio interference or you want to know if your home equipment is causing any radio trouble of any kind, call The Times Taido interference engineer at Riley 5551 from 5 to 6 p. m. and he will give you the information that you need.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MOONEY'S PLEA FOR INTERVIEW WINS GOVERNOR Agitation for Release of Labor Leader Grows; Executive May Act. V>‘ Time* Sp.ri„t SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. April 22. —A letter just made public asking Governor Clement C. Young to give him as a birthday present a personal interview, has set wheels in motion that may result in the pardon of Tom Mooney, victim of the famous “frame-up trial” of 1916. Mooney has just turned 46. Although suffering from a serious stomach disease that has necessitated weeks of absolute fasting and has brought years on premature old age, Mooney never has lost courage. Throughout his thirteen years of prison toil and sickness he has planned every important move in what is now a nation-wide effort to free himself and his fellow-victim, Warren Billings, inmate at Folsom. From his prison cell he has written literally hundreds of letters and appeals. Os all these appeals the most crucial one was his last letter to the j Governor. Governor Young re-1 sponded by sending his secretary,! Kieth Carlin, to hear Mooney’s own story from Mooney himself; Since then the Governor's attitude is be- ; lieved to have materially changed, j Tells of Youth Mooney told the Governor of his early youth in the factory towns of Massachusetts, his first job as a j moulder at 14. his interest in the : welfare of labor. “I was born in abject poverty,” I he wrote. "I lived in that atmo- | sphere most of my life. All my j youth was acquainted with depriva- j tion. I am going to ask the state j of California so ra birthday gift. “Give me a genuine opportunity j to prove to you in person—the one i and only pian who stands between ; me and freedom—that lam abso- J lutely innocent of the crime for j which I have been wrongfully, yes j even criminally convicted. Declares His Innocence “I have every hope that you can be convinced that my trial was a frame-up, a farce and a fraud, that my conviction was a monstrous miscarriage of justice, the equal of which nowhere can be found in the whole history of jurisprudence. I am sure you do not want consciously to continue an unjust imprisonment of an innocent man. "Governor, every one who took part in the trial of this case on the side of the people except one, former District A- orney Fickert, now are on record in letters to the executive urging pardon for me. Your review amounts to a trial, and while it is no fault of yours, the petitioner is not present during that trial. I ask you to come to San Quentin prison that I may seek to convince you of the terrible mistake made in this case.” CRASHES INJURE NINE

Four Muncie Persons Are Hurt in Smashup. Nine persons were injured in motorcar accidents here over the week-end. Four of the nine hurt are residents of Muncie, injured when their car overturned on the Pendleton pike near Lawrence.

He was cut about the head. Other occupants of his car injured were: Mr. and Mrs. Everett Swaallow and Miss Virginia Richards, cut and bruised. They were treated at city hospital and taken home. Others injured in automobile accidents over the week-end were: Warner Susemichel, 17, of 607 Orange street Mrs. Ella Barnhart, 60, of 2720 Cornell avenue Miss Velma Cunningham, 15, of 1152 Dawson street; W.

I'll United Press' WASHINGTON. April 20.—Formation of the Allied Arts Extension to bring more culture to the small American town and, incidentally, to prevent Broadway slickers from imposing phony art on Main street was announced today by Ruth Hanna McCormicT, congresswoman-at-large from Illinois. The National Community Foundation is sponsor for the Allied Arts Extension, Mrs. McCormick revealed. Among the foundation’s committee she listed: Edward W. Bok, S. Parkes Cadman, Senator Simeon D. Fess, Otto H. Cahn, Senator George W. Norris and Charles M. Schwab. In demanding a fair share of artistic advantages the small town is seeking no more than to which it is entitled in Mrs. McCormick’s opinion. The real artistic impetus of the American people, she explained, comes from the small towns. The Allied Arts Extension will arrange, Mrs. McCormick said, for exhibits of fine arts, handicraft and productions of drama on a par with those of the Theater Guild. To detect spurious art before it is foisted on Main Street, the extension will have a reviewing committee. Lorado Taft will be responsible for sculpture and painting, Winthrow Ames for drama and Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Wright Crawford for fine arts and handicraft.
