STATE'S CRIME GROUP TO TAKE ACTIONS MOB Probe to Be Made Unless Ogden or Marion Acts by October. Indiana’s state crime commission ■will take up the matter of the Marion lynching, if the Grant county grand jury fails to act, it was reported by one of the commission members following the secret session of the commissioners at the statehouse Monday. “If there is no action in the matter either by the Grant county grand jury or by the attorneygeneral by October, it likely will be brought before the crime commission at the next meeting,” The Times was told. Sheriff Jacob Campbell of Grant county, who failed to stop the lynching, is a member of the crime commission. So is Attorney-General James M. Ogden. Both attended the secret meeting Monday morning. Fails to Return Campbell came late and left before noon, falling to take lunch with the commissioners and to return for the afternoon session. Ogden arealdy has cited the statute which compels the attorneygeneral action against a sheriff in a county where lynching occurs, if local authorities fail. Merl Wall and Earl Stroup, deputy attorneys-general, who have spent considerable time in Marion and aided in bringing lynching witnesses before the grand jury, have expressed little hope of any prosecution. At one time they had six affidavits against alleged mob leaders, but t hey never were filed in court. Judge O. D. Clawson of Grant circuit court refused to act on the grounds the court was on vacation. Ogden Still Wants Action Ogden stated today he still stands by his decision to act if the grand jury doesn’t "within the next six months.” After making several changes in the second tentative report of the executive committee, the commissioners voted to accept it Monday afternoon and turn it over to the legislative committee for drafting of bills. Principal changes, announced after the meeting, were the adoption of the George K. Wells plan making it easier for employers to hire child labor between the ages of 16 and 18 years. Vote for Dry Data Although the Rappaport plan for a thorough investigation of prohibition previously was voted down, the commissioners did include in the report Monday a plan to obtain data on the relation between crime in Indiana and the use of drugs and intoxicants. The state safety department and judicial council remain the chief legislative objectives of the report, but emphasis also is placed on mak-

Great Mens Pretenses , < Success * Formulas Amusing to Darrow

BY WOLF LARSON l/’nitcd Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—Like an aged seafarer clinging close to the ocean’s edge, Clarence Darrow lives in retirement, watching the unending surge of life with eyes unafraid of death and thoughts disbelieving in life hereafter. Now and then it appears that he will be caught in the tide and carried into one of the moving court dramas that made him famous. But Darrow himself says “no” as he lounges comfortably in a companionable chair in his old-fashioned apartment. “I am past 73, you know, and the strain of a prolonged trial would be too much.’’ Uncurtained widows give Darrow a far view upon the world. He looks out over the Midway’s trees and lawns now changing colors as autumn brightens a pleasant prospect. Down the midway on one hand he views the Gothic structures of the University of Chicago and on the other the waters of Lake Michigan extending to a dim horizon. Before him, some miles beyond the Midway to the north, he beholds the towers and skyscrapers of the loop, and contemplates in silence the human forces swirling in that malestrom of speed and harsh and strident noises. "I have lived in this place for more than twenty years; I like it very well,” he says contentedly. The elevator that creeps up to his apartment on the sixth and top floor of the old flat building moves with unhurried faltering gait. Books are everywhere in the large front rooms of his apartment, but nowhere is to be seen a set of Corpus Juris or the familiar leather-bound volumes of a lawyer’s office.

“I’m through with law books; I’ve had enough of them and I don’t want them around,” he says with emphasis. “The law is of the past and dead—l am interested in that which lives. It is man and his conduct that intrigue me and not a set of rules as to how he should conduct himself. “When I defended men in court my concern was not whether they committed crime, but what caused them to do as they did. “I am giving 'my time to reading of philosophy, psychology and religious discussion, and I am doing some writing. In. other words, I am taking things easy, doing the things that please me most. “The pretenses of men give me great enjoyment. I remember in my younger days when you newspaper men were making me rather well known someone came around to get a ‘success’ interview from me. ‘“Who have you seen?’ I asked the reporter. He mentioned Marshall Field and others. ‘Well, to what did they attribute their success?’ I asked. ‘Hard work, he replied. ‘AH right, just say the same thing for me,’ I told him. Then he wanted me to expand on that, so I said: “ ‘When I was about 17 or 18 my father hinted rather pointedly it was about time I went to work, so I got a job on a farm. The first day the farmer set me to pitching hay and by night time I was all in. The next day he put me out in the potato patch to kill potato bugs. My back was breaking by noontime and by midafternoon I threw down my can of coal oil and my stick and quit my job. So, you see, it was hard work that made me what I am today.’”

COLD SHOULDER TO REPUBLICAN FUNDS_APPEAL Contributors ‘Tightening Up;’ Candidates, Jobholders to Bear Burden. BY BEN STERN Fish hooks in the pockets of heavy campaign fund contributors of former years have forced Republican county chieftains to fall back upon their old standbys—candidates and county employes—in raising funds for the 1930 campaign. A meeting of all Republican candidates has been called for 4 this afternoon in county headquarters, when they will be told that their ante must be $20,000. Judges, it has been announced, will be assessed SI,OOO each. The 1930 budget calls for $45,000. Budgets of former years have been

placed at $50,000 with approximately SIOO,OOO donated. Whatever happened to the money remaining from a campaign never has been revealed—but the uninitiates always are told that all of the money was spent in the campaign. County employes will be asked to contribute SIO,OOO to the budget. No assessment figure has been divulged, but probably it will total about 5 per cent of a year’s salary. Many clerks, it was learned, will refuse to contribute, giving as their excuse that the assessment is too high. Some feel that with the party chances looking rather slim this year, it simply will be throwing away money to donate to the campaign—inasmuch as their jobs will be gone after Jan. 1, anyhow. Scarcity of ‘angels” to pitch the nickels on the drum may result in the candidates being forced to carry the greater proportion of the financial burden of the campaign. , The county organization is in the same dire financial straits as the state committee. In an effort to exhaust every possible source of financial support, Clyde E. Robinson, county chairman, has appointed a finance committee of fifty-five which includes every faction of the party in Marion county.
