SAYS "BLUE SKY" OPERATORS DELAY NORMALCY RETURN (By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, June 16. Business men blaming taxes, the lack of foreign trado, freight rates and labor for what may seem to them a slow Teturn to normal commercial activities are being asked by utility operators of the state to consider another obstacle.) This obstacle is the lack of capital due to raids on the savings of the public by "blue sky" operators with fake oil and mining schemes, it was said. ' "It is high time that business men should get together to protect themselves and the people of their communities against tho grafters," said Charles L. Henry, president of the Indiana Public Utility association, today. "Fake stock promoters and other blue sky artists annually take millions of dollars away from tho people of Indiana. Their gain is a double loss to the state. It not only removes the peoples' savings, but takes away a tremendous fund of new capital which, if invested in legitimate busi ness enterprises of the state, would go a long way toward putting business firmly on its feet again." Mr. Henry commended the thrift and savings movement of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce. He declared the movement deserves the co operation of men in all lines of busi ness.

I know he had no intention of going to Ireland I to take part in anything military or to aid either faction in either way.

MEAGER DESPATCHES SHOW WU IS VICTOR IN CHINESE WARFARE (By Associated Press) PEKING, June 16. Obscurity continues to veil progress of the fighting in the north where General Wu Pei-Fu is opposing Chang Tso-Lln in the bitterest conflict China's civil warfare yet has evoked, but such news as trickled through favors the central China faction Wu represents. A Tientsin despatch unconfirmed at present asserts Wu's troops virtually have surrounded the body of Chang's troops holding positions near Shanhalkwan and Indicates, by inference at least that the hold of the Manchurian rebel leader on that important port is about to be broken - K ,v artvirpR indioa.ted Wu nlanned Shanhaikwan. Political Factors To the south political factors overshadowed things military reported up to early today. Wu, in his unofficial capacity of the strong man of China, yesterday invited Dr. Sun Yat Sen, president of the Canton government, to come to' Peking and Join with Li Yuan-Hung, the president of the gov ernment recognized by the foreign powers, and himself in promotion of Chinese peace and unity. At the same time there is no relaxation in the efforts Wu and his associated have been makrng to align old parliament members In Canton with the Peking group, so as to make up a quorum and per mit transaction of business. Central China leaders intimate their only hope of gathering the 180 needed members Into the fold is by inducing some of those who now adhere to Dr. Sun to forsake him. The question of finance, which has been critical in China for years, again is" exerting a powerful influence. Some of the Canton members have asked that the Peking group finance the ex pense of their journey to the northern capital and the Peking leaders while seemingly willing enough, have been unable to find the funds. The effort is being continued, however. The esti mated cost of the project is 250,000. End of Mine Trial Not In Sight Today CHARLESTON, W. Va., June 16. Defense counsel in the trial of J. E. Wilburn, a minister of Blair, Logan county, today was unable to state how long it would be before their side rested, in that so many questions as to relevancy or the irrelevancy of testimony introduced were being brought to the attention of the jury. Yesterday, when the defense took up its side and indicated that it would attempt to prove that the Rev. Wilburn, who is charged with killing a Logan county deputy sheriff at the time of the armed march of the miners to the Logan-Boone county border last summer, acted in self-defense, few witnesses were called owing to the time consumed by opposing counsel In arguing points in question.

NOT GUILTY PLEA ENTERED BY WARD ' IN SUPREME COURT (By Associated Press) WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., June 16. Walter Ward pleaded not guilty today when he was arraigned before Supreme Court Justice Morschauser oa an indictment charging first degree murder in connection with the shooting of Clarence Peters. One counsel

for the wealthy baker's son requested that he be placed on trial Immediately. He was informed by the court that his case would have to take the same course as any other. "There are a number of men In jail who want to be tried," said the jus tice. "Why your man should be preferred, I cannot tell." Referring to the fact that "Charley Ross" and "Jack" said by Ward to have been with Peters when he shot him in self defense while attending a blackmailer's tryst had not been produced, the court continued, "If you could bring those other two men who you say were with Peters, perhaps you could get a speedy trial. It is unheard of for a defendant to come into court and ask a 6peedy trial when the district attorney doesn't wan it." When Wards' counsel contended that there was no evidence against his client, the justice banged his desk and said, "Well, he shot him didn't he?" The counsel for the defense then asked District Attorney Week3 when he would be ready for the trial, but Weeks did not reply, and the court held that he had a right to make his own calendar. "Some members of the Ward family who should have been here have not been before the grand jury," said the court. "If they had been here they might have helped you."
