SEN. NEW TO SUPPLY FUNDS

In Murder. Trial of His Alleged. San in California. Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. B. United States Senator Harry S. New of Indiana, whom Harry S. New, Jr., charged with the murder of his sweetheart, Freda Lesser, claims as his father, will furnish ample funds for the defense in the impending trial, Attorney LeCompte Davis of the defense admitted today. It was also stated that no fact essential to a complete defense would be omitted, which is another way of saying that the romamce of Senator New amiL_ Mrs. Lily Burger, the accused man’s mother, may be recited from the witness stand either in whole or in part.. Prosecution and defense have begun final plans for their legal strategy. These plans will take intensi-

fled form as New goes to trial before Judge Craig of the superior court, Oct. 27, jwith Asa Keyes of the district attorney’s office prosecuting and Mr. Davts and John L. Richardson defending. Indianapolis has passed an antipicketing <#dinance, making it uoalawful to station pickets in labor strikes. This Is a very wise measure and oAe that should be adopted in every city in the land. Stationing pickets, and parading “sandwich men’’ in front of a man's business, declaring him to be “unfair” to union labor, has been the cause of more rioting than all else counbineft, and many a business man has been ruined by the sandwich metbod because he would not stand fcr a hold-'U.p by some walking delegate. Both practices should be stopped, and the quicker the better. The Grant County Women’s Christian Temperance Union, in resolutions adopted at the closing session of the annual county convention, held at Marion a few days ago, calls upon influential men of the county to use their efforts to induce Senators James E. Watson and Harry S. New to support the league of nations. “Believing in universal peace,” says the resolutions, “and that all disagreements should be settled by arbitration, we therefore indorse the league of nations.” Chinamen, have five buttons on their coats to remind them of the principal moral virtues recommended by Confucious —humanity, justice, order, produence and rectitude.
