PHONE FUNDS SCANDAL TO BE AIREDJN COURT Master in Chancery to Hear Unfolding of $3,000 Payment. Airing of the scandal Involving the payment of $3,000 to an agent of the Southern Indiana Telephone and Telegraph company, part or all of which, It was charged during the last session of the legislature, was paid to Calvin T. Mclntosh, then public service commissioner, is scheduled for Friday in federal court. The matter, which has laid dormant since Governor Harry G. Leslie failed to reappoint Mclntosh, naming Harry K. Culbertson to take his place, will be unfolded as a result of the rate case hearings of the phone company before Samuel Dowdcn, special master in chancery. All principals and near-principals in the affair were subpenaed by the state to appear before Dowden Monday but, because of the illness of Bert Fuller, Leslie campaign manager in 1928, the hearing was postponed until Friday. Principals are Summoned Principals summoned to appear are Dr. H. Lett, of Seymour, who first got the $3,000; Lon C. Griffits, desposed president of the phone company, who ordered the payment and Bert Morgan, associate of Fuller in the 1928 campaign and a partner in their insurance business. Reopening of the Mclntosh affair is warranted, accorded to George Huffsmith, deputy attorney general, on the grounds that the phone company came into federal court to enjoin the public service commission, from interfering with their putting into effect a higher rate. When this petition for increased charges was pending before the commission, it was charged that the $3,000 paid to Lett was to be used to influence the commission to take favorable action. Claimed Publicity Fund “This is an equity suit brought by the phone company and any plafntiff in such an action must come into court with clean hands. This we aver Is not true of the Iphone company," Hufsmith avers. It was claimed by the Southern Indiana Consolidated Utilities Company, holding company for the phone concern that the money was given Lett for publicity purposes. An investigation of the transaction was begun by Attorney-Gen-eral James M. Ogden which never reached a conclusion. But it did result in Leslie failing to reappoint Mclntosh.

MAI. YARDLEY TELLS OF CODE INTRIGUES “None Defies Solution,” Say Former Head of “Black Chamber.” “Nations either should get nondecipherable secret codes or stay away from intrigue,” Major H. O. Yardley of the now extinct United States “black chamber,” told than one hundred members of the Service Club today at luncheon at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. A message that defies decoding is possible, he said, but this has not yet been achieved. While several countries were carrying on supposedly secret intrigues, by radio and cable, the American “black chamber” listened in and chuckled, he said. Major Yardley, whose book on the subject recently was published by Bobbs-Merrill, said that during the existence of the “black chamber,” from 1917 to 1929, more than 45,000 messages were decodad. Ten thousand of these were between Japan and England. GAS USE PROTESTED U. S. Asks Canada to Halt Use of “Screen” by Rum Runners By United Press WASHINGTON, July 21. —lnformal protest has been made to Canadian authorities against the alleged use by Canadian rum runners of noxious gasses to discourage coast guard pursuers. First report of the use of gas at sea came from the coast guard chaser 149 which pursued the Cadet, a Canadian craft, off Nantucket. Gas is said to have come from the exhaust pipe of the Cadet and when the 149 entered the low-lying cloud the coast guard crew was temporarily, but acutely distressed. Hanford Macnider, American minister to Canada, was instructed by the state department to direct Canadian attention to the incident.

SHOVES CAYLOR OFF LAWN JOB Williamson Ousts Leslie’s Custodian Friend. Because he neglected to care properly for the statehouse lawn, Frank C. Caylor, statehouse custodian, has been removed from duty in that sector and the lawn has been placed in charge of Orville Sampson, it was announced today by Floyd E. Williamson, state auditor. Williamson protested to Caylor last week regarding the “deplorable condition” of the statehouse lawn. Sampson, a Democrat, has had charge of the parking lot at the statehouse, but Williamson, who with Governor Harry G. Leslie and State Secretary Frank Mayr Jr. makes up the building and grounds committee, assigned the lawn care to him, “Under the new management we have taken off more weeds from the statehouse lawn and given it more genuine attention than it has had in the last five years,” Williamson declared. Caylor is a Republican and close friend of Leslie. During his regime the custodian’s position has been raised to one of considerable power. Williamson says he long has been ready to replace Caylor with a Democrat, but has been unable to get Mayr to vote for one. Takes Wheat as Marirage Fee By United Press DODGE CITY, Kan., July 22.

GRANDSON ROLF TO WED; ‘MA’ WONTJEE IT Aimee Will Pronounce Her Son and ‘His Girl’ Man and Wife. By United Press LOS ANGELES, July 21.—Rolf McPherson, 18-year-old son of Aimee Semple McPherson, will be married tonight during a temporary lull in the marital troubles of his grandmother, Mrs. Minnie (Ma) Kennedy. Young McPherson, an evangelist like his mother and grandmother, will lead to the altar of Angelus Temple the young and attractive Lorna Dee Smith, a graduate of Mrs. McPherson's Four Square Bible class. Mrs. McPherson herself will pronounce them man and wife. All concerned were unanimous in the opinion that neither Mrs. Kennedy nor G. Edward (What-A-Man) Hudson, whom she married three weeks ago, would be present. “No, I’rn not going to the wedding,” said Mrs. Kennedy rather sorrowfully. “I haven’t been invited, although I practically rearer Rolf.” Mrs. Kennedy has not been to Angelus Temple since her disagreement with her daughter over the temple management two years ago. Another who seemed likely to be absent was B. F. Clearwater, a temple policeman, who asked that an insanity complaint be issued against Mrs. Kennedy, who, he said, was subject to “childish delusions.” Mrs. McPherson disapproved of his action and agreed with psychiatrists that he was wrong. “There’s no trace of insanity in our family—anywhere,” she said. She wouldn’t say whether Clearwater had been discharged, but it was noticed he was not on duty as usual. Regardless, however, of who attends and who doesn’t, Mrs. McPherson says the wedding will be “the greatest ever solemnized in the temple.” RENO DIVORCES NINETY, 28 Cases Run Over Into Today; Too Hot to Work Fast.
