The CBS-C war brough* here on a chance of venue from f r Knox circuit court. Self r\r r-, r. -.1 ill nr Eke’s plea. It : If and Mnrley quarreled over po".n of a liquor 'Mil, the climax ■ v < h was punctuated WUh b’illet Mnrlc-’s widow will be the state’s star witnr ■ She and the principal- in the tragedy were the only ones pro, cut when it was enacted. A tangle of circumstances have served as a prelude to the trial, the latest being a trip to the state penal farm by counsel for Eke for the purpose of bringing back Peter Westmoreland as a witness. Kind Witness in Jail At the farm, the lawyers learned Westmoreland had never been an inmate of the institute. Returning to Vincennes, they found the man they wanted a jail prisoner, awaiting removal to the farm to begin a sentence for violating the prohibition law. Sheriff Kruse says he has not taken the prisoner to the farm because he has a sick son. Westmoreland was given a ninetyday sentence following arrest of Mrs. Eke, the accused's wife, on a dry law charge. It is said he made a “buy” of liquor from her at the request of federal agents. Woman in Same Cel! For a time Mrs. Eke and Mrs. Marley occupied the same cell in the Knox county jail, the latter being detained as a witness in the murder trial. Counsel for Eke endeavored to obtain a continuance of the trial a few days ago, on the plea that Henry Mack, former Knox county sheriff, and William Gentry, desired as witnesses, were away from Vincennes. Rttiier than permit delay, Prosecutor Arterburn agreed to admit the substance of testimony the defense said Mack and Gentry would give. It is in support of the self defense theory.

STATE OPPOSES MONON MERGER Public Service Board Files Plea Against Project. ‘■To protect properly the commercial interests of the state of Indiana, the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville Railway Company (Monon) should be maintained and preserved as a north and south line, free from any dominating influence or control by any east and west trunk line.” Such is the contention of the public service commission of Indiana in an intervening petition filed with the interstate commerce commission today opposing the proposed merger of the Monon with the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The latter company seeks the consolidation. but is opposed by Monon stockholders and the state acting through the public service commission. The intervening petition was prepared by Attorney-General James M. Ogden. It sets out that the Monon at | present pays $900,000 taxes to the state annually and that this would be cut by decreased revenues should the merger be approved. It calls attention to the Monon repair shops as another state asset which might be abandoned. The main shops are at Lafayette. “It is in the interest of the manufacturers, producers and consumers j of the state of Indiana that north ! and south lines be maintained in j competition with the east and west ; trunk lines.” the petition declares, j PURPOSE IN TIRE COLOR Pigments Protect Rubber.

PUBLISHER MAY APPEAR IN QUIZ Gannett Denies Power Firm Controls His Papers. Rii United Press ROCHESTER, N. Y.. May I. Frank E.

I know nothing about the power trusts and any implication that I do, or that any paper I may own, has anything to do with trusts is unfair and unjust,” he said. "A few months ago when the money market was in a bad condition I found it necessary to sell some securities in order to carry out contracts for the purchase of two newspapers. “As the interest rate was exceedingly high in the open market, I chose to accept an offer from the International Paper Company to purchase certain notes and minority stock in three of the seventeen newspapers of the group which I absolutely control, namely in Albany, Ithaca and Brooklyn, instead of offering these securities to the public or to banking institutions. There was nothing whatever irregular in the transaction.”

MOTHER JONES. AT 90, STILL READTTO FIGHT Famed Labor Leader Keeps Up With Times. Hopes for Reforms. By Times Special WASHINGTON, May I.—lt has been a habit with Mother Jones for years to defy death. She climbed a West Virginia hill one day and laid her hand on the machine gun mounted at the top. She was not afraid. The men behind the gun did not fire. She defies death now from an easy chair on a sunny porch. She will be 90 years old May 1, or maybe It is 98. The record is uncertain, but with speech firm, eyes bright, mind* clear, Mother Jones fights on and Intends to fight for many years. She wishes she could be with the textile workers in the south. They are her people and she would like to fight with them. She thinks the kidnaping incident there was disgraceful. Opposed to Violence “It was dangerous, too. No one knows where a thing like that will stop. No class can afford to set such example. No one knows who the next victim will be.” Violence is just as wrong, Mother Jones believes, for workers as it is for capitalists. The day she climbed the West Virginia hill she did tell the military police that 600 workmen were waiting for her a little farther up and all had guns they would not hesitate to use. It is true she has been called the most dangerous woman in America. But there weren’t any men up there at all. and no guns. "Not a thing on the hillside but rabbits," she chuckled. “But you have ’ to fool such rascals somehow.” Through the historic mine strike in Colorado, and through others in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, Mother Jones battled for many years She has been put in prison and stuck with bayonets. She fought for more pay for workers, more food for children, better living conditions, shorter hours of work. She fought frameups and oppression. Fight Was Worth While She says; “It was a great fight. It was w’orth while. We changed a great deal, though there Is much more to change. If I had It to do over again, I would do it t>. same way. I hope another woi ,an will carry on the fight. A woman can do mere than a man if she really understands the economic reason for things and cares enough about doing something.” Mother Jones reads constantly and knows what is going on. She has been, watching the new fight to win pardon for Tom Mooney and ■\\ T arren K. Billings, who have been thirteen years in jail charged with bombing the San Francisco preparedness day parade. She was in California at the time and she is certain the men were victims of a frameup. She thinks prohibition wrong and harmful. Long ago she came to believe that where there is more freedom there is less breaking of law. As she grows older, she believes this more firmly. She hopes the day will come when men and women in power will grasp a vision of what food enough for all might mean to a nation.

SENATOR AND CHURCH CLASH ON PROHIBITION Demand That Methodists Get Out of Politics Made by Copeland. BY RAY TI CKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 1.-Senator Royal S. Copeland's declaration that the Methodist church should get out of politics today paved the way for a general attack on the prohibition lobby which many religious and dry organizations are alleged to maintain in the vicinity of the Capitol building. Copeland said he had received many telegrams of commendation for his charge that the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist church had lobbied openly for votes in the senate office building. Many of the messages, he said, had been sent by members of the Methodist church, to which lie belongs.

La Guardia to Enter Fight It was expected that Representative F. H. La Guardia, New York who will discuss prohibition for forty-five minutes on the floor today, will mention lobbying on the part of other bodies, including the Anti-Saloon League, and other dry associations. Several other New York members declared they would inlroduce resolutions for investigation of activities such as those denounced by Copeland. Copeland said that when Deets Pickett of the Methodist board called on him to persuade him to vote for the prohibition reorganization bill two years ago, Pickett explained that he had discovered Copeland was a Methodist and therefore considered him a likely senator to visit. But Dr. Clarence True Wilson, general secretary of the board, denied he ran a lobby. He charged that Copeland had asked Pickett to visit him and consented to publication of the details of their conversation. Copeland Is Accused Then, Wilson added, Copeland thought he could make political capital out of the prohibition vote. Now, asserted the prohibitionist, “anew ruler has come to Tammany,” and Copeland “is running to cover by giving a curtain lecture to the board of temperance of his own church.” Although denying lobby activities, Wilson said his group had the right of “free speech, free press, of public assembly and the right of petition.’ He said they would not hesitate to “give public expression to our view in press or platform, and to talk with any senator where our presence is welcome.”
