Chief Counsel for Pujo Committee Says Clean Slates to Past Offenders Will Restore Confidence.

FPniN'OnKLD, Ma... Nov. 20. The time has romr, in the opinion of 'amuf 1 Pntcrmytr, who was chbf counsel for the Pujo c"mrnittc inestigating tho money trust, to restore confidence in tho industri- s of tho United States, including th.j railroads. How thin could be accomplished he outlined Friday night in a speech bolero tho Economic dub here. A halt FhouM be called, h paid, upon further governmental investigations Into the past crimes in tho looting' of corporations; the .slate should be wiped clean and the work of refraining and strengthening the laws to make impossible repetition of previous offenses should be begun with a general amnesty to past offenders not yet apprehended. The currency bill rot pending in tho senate should be passed. Give the railroads living rates, "or they will perish whilst we are refrnming the laws under which they are hereafter to live." Abolish Mal Agencies. Abolish fiscal agencies, so called, voting trusts and interlocking directorates. Make It a terminal offense for any ofTleer ortdircctor of a corporation to borrow from or make a profit out of his corporation. Prohibit national banks and interstate corporations from having inter

locking directors in potentially competing corporations. Destroy holding companies. Give minority stockholders representation In tho directorates of their corporation. Place railroad reorganizations under the control of the Interstate commerce commission and of the courts. Compel tho incorporation of stock exchanges so that the books of their members may bo j-:ubject to governmental inspection. More Publicity. Fnforee complete publicity of all corporate transactions; and especially require the fullest disclosure of nil profits of bonkers, brokers and middlemen in marketing securities sold to the public. Limit tho directors of national banks and interstate public service corporations to nine. Supplement the anti-truFt law by constituting a federal industrial commission to which the courts would turn over tho dissolution of corporations that have been declared unlawful.

(2! vo to this commission tho power to approve agreements between competitors regulating prices and output for a limited term and to tho extent necessary to protect them against ruinous competition, but under conditions that will fully safeguard the public. Mr. Untormycr spoke on the subject, "how to restore, confidence". There had been a sudden and alarming cessation in business activity all over the country, he said, and the consensus of opinion was that it had not been due to changes in the tariff. Duo to Kottenness. Primarily, ho thought, it was due to uneasiness emanating from the disclosures "of rottenness in corporate management", from pending and impending legislation affecting the financial system and the trusts and to the inability of railroads to secure rates which would permit them to maintain their properties and give fair returns on invested capital. lie added: "I think we should call a halt upon further governmental Investigation into the past crimes in the putting of corporations. Hy pursuing the subject f Jrther we would doubtless learn of innumerable more instances not yet uncovered, but the evidence would be cumulative only. "1 am in favor of a general amnesty. Let us wipe the slate and begin the wrk of s rcframing and strengthening our laws that there cannot be a repetition of tho past without the certainty of prompt detection and punishment." Regarding the pending currency bill, Mr. rntennytT sail. that it should be passed, but. he differed from all plans now before the senate with respect to the methods of dealing with subscriptions to the stock of the regional hanks. The parage into law of any of these methods, he feared, r.iitrht bad to conversions of national banks into state banks and consequent disruption "f the national system. In this connection Mr. I'ntermyer repeat

ed the succestior.s made by him before j the .senate committee ast September!

concerning this phase of the bill.

E THEORY WILL

BE DR. CRAIG'S DEFENSE

Man Accused of Murder of Dr. Helen Knabe Will Attempt to Show That Woman Was Not a Victim of Murder.

SflELBYVILLE. Ind., Nov. 2 9. Imposing legal forces lined up Friday and engaged in tho preliminary skir

mish of the trial of Dr. Wm. 13. Craig of Indianapolis for the murder of Dr. Hole no Knabe. Out of thirty-one talesmen examined up to tho hour of adjournment Friday night, twelve jurymen satisfactory to both sides could not bo obtained and when court reconvenes at 1) o'clock Saturday morning, the questioning of veniremen will lo resumed. Six prospective jurors c-scaped service Friday through peremptory challenge by tho defense and five were excused on demand of the prosecution. Stress was laid by tho prosecution examiners on circumstantial evidence and no talesman who acknowledged that he would not convict as readily on evidence of this character as he would on direct evidence, was accepted by them. Equally insistent were the defendant's lawyers that no man should hold a seat in the Jury box who had formed an unalterable opinion that Dr. Knabe was murdered. The lino of questioning, therefore, appeared to indicate that the state would endeavor to build the structure of its case on a foundation of compromising circumstances, which the defense would attempt to destroy by having Dr. Craig go on the stand and explain these circumstances leaving the manner of Dr. Knabe's death shrouded in mystery. There was ev

ery indication that the accused veterinary and his lawyers would support strongly the police theory of suicide. Nothing in the day's developments admitted a doubt that Harry C. Webster, the private detective who worked up the ease on behalf of the IndianapolU Council of Women, would be the principal witness. for the prosecution, the state's attorneys denied with emphasis that they had unearthed any evidence tending to shake their belief that the woman was murdered and that Dr. Craig himself killed her. lr. Craig remained at liberty tonight under tho $13,000 bond which he furnished when he was arrested. He returned to Jndianapolis on an evening train.

ElEAM OF TARTAR is the crystallized acid of grapes refined to absolute purity and ground to a creamy flour. It is declared bv physicians the most wholesome

of all fruit acids, and has been proved by long and universal experience the most efficient and satisfactory for baking purposes. Highly refined products of the grape, properly combined with bicarbonate of soda and a little corn starch to absorb atmospheric moisture, are the sole ingredients of the ideal, high-class, standard baking powder. Many acids have been tried during the last hundred years to find a substitute for the grape cream of tartar which would cost less. In recent years alum, which makes a baking powder at a cost of two cents a pound, has been used because of its trifling cost. Alum, however, has been disapproved by scientific chemists and physicians and is not employed by manufacturers of high-class powders. Cream of tartar powders being healthful themselves, add to the healthfulness of the food.

again Friday night in debate at the Perley school before 300 members of the Perley Civic club, one of the largest crowds thus far to attend a civic club meeting. The sessldn vas pronounced one of the best and great

enthusiasm was manifested. When the debate was finished the judges gave a decision in favor of the negative side. The question for debate was "Resolved, That a High Protective

Tariff is More Beneficial Than Free Trade".

negative side while C. D. Hudson led the affirmative forces. The , battle waged for nearly two hours over the

various points in the question, whether

ree trade would benefit home indus

tries, and how wages would be cut.

and how tho high cost of living would

bo reduced. The judges were David I lentzleinan, Rev. Arthur Shafer and Mr. Baldwin. In addition to the debate a musical program was given. Miss Esther Iloaudway rendered several piano solos while Genevieve llilliard sang. The Civic Club Nightingales entertained with several vocal numbers. The large turnout Friday night is viewed with encouragement- bv the
