Funeral services will be held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at the Vines nnes home with the Rev. Charles W. Whitman officiating. Burial will be in the Fairview cemetery there. Mr. Adams, affectionately known as "Uncle Tom’’ throughout all Indiana, died Saturday at 12:40 p m. in Methodist hospital where he had been admitted Thursday, suffering with a complication of diseases.

Duvall and members of his council for political corruption, and the revelation that then Representative Ralph E. Updike of Indianapolis and Representative Harry Rowbottom of Evansville, had entered into pacts with D C. Stephenson, klan dragon, so that he could name those who would be accorded patronage. Jackson and his associates only escaped prison by pleading the statute of limitations: Duvall was sentenced ninety days in jail and his appeal is still pending and seven of the nine councilmen were forced to resign. Prominent in Party Tn 1928 Adams announced as a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor. He had been prominent in the politics of that party for years, having served as postmaster of Vincennes for nine years: as Knox county and Second district chairman, and chairman of the executive committee of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association. Editor Adams’ campaign for the nomination was based on his belief “there was still big work to do,” and the demand of citizens over the state that his be the guiding hand in purging the Republican party of corruption. He ran third in the primary and his friends stuck to him throughout the 1928 convention.

When I suggested that that Involved the principle of the sanctity of debts and private property, Stalin remarked: “Since when has the bourgeoisie placed principle above money?” He added that after the American War of Independence and the Civil war in the United States, debts to England were repudiated. “And you did right, too,” Jie said. * BUB BOTH Stalin and Voroshilov spoke sympathetically about America and manifested curiosity about things American.

over the destinies of 150,000,000 people, citizens within the Soviet Union, yet he has been almost unknown to the average man or woman in the nation. Nikolai Lenin, dead leader cf the Soviet state whom he succeded, he stresses personal simplicity almost to the point of being a hermit, Stalin shuns publicity. He prefers to sit back and direct the events of the nation. He prefers not to head the government, or to become, in effect, president or premier of the Soviet Union. His genius, nevertheless, lies back of much that the men in these offices do. 808 STALIN’S real name is Djugaslivilli. He was bom in Georgia, south Russia, in 1879, son of a poor shoemaker near Tiflis. He is a powerful figure of a man physically, with an almost oriental caste to his dark, yellow countenance. His rise from a poor peasant to the highest pinnacle oi power was phenomenal. He studied for the priesthood, only to later head a regime which has among its avowed precepts the extermination of all religions. He early was entranced by Socialist ideas and turned to politics, a field in which he now has no master in all Rusia.

Nov. 24.—Worldwide prohibition of war is proposed j in a letter signed by 150 prominent} Americans and prepared for presen- ’ tation to President Hoover today.
