sWOBdTS MAINTAINS
HE'S INNOCENT VICTIM
Writes American Ambassador
He Is Prisoner Through
Terrible Mistake"

PARIS. April Tn a letter TO
American Ambassador William q.
sharpe received at the embassy to-
day. Raymond Swoboda, the aHeged
German spy. strongly proclaimed his
innocence Of the charge of trying 20
blow up the French liner La TOuraine
at sea.
MY innocence will be established
beyond all doubt" wrote SwOboda 10
Mr.. Sharpe.
The prisoner expressed deep IndlS-
nation at his arrest, saying he was
the victim Of a terrible mistake and
that he would soon be able 10 free
himself Of all charges against him.
Swoboda then gave a detailed outline
of all his movements in the United
States before sailing for France on
La Touraine. He gave the names Of
a number of well known business
men who could. he said, vouch for
his character.
The fact that Swoboda's arraign-
ment at Havre has been postponed
indicates that the author
tiles have run against a snag in their
efforts to find evidence upon which 10
convict him. The police and the Sc
cret service agents refuse to say an
thing at all about the case.
This silence and the fact that the
newspapers are now showing a dispO-
sition 10 regard Swoboda as innocent
are regarded as significant Some OF
the Partisan newspapers that have
taken up the cudgels in SwObOda's be-
half. declare that the police have not
made public any evidence which
would show "Swoboda 10 be guilty
beyond a doubt"
Meanwhile the official inquiry into
the fire upon La Touraine is proceed
ing. The commission is still taking
testimony upon the ship which has
been transferred from Havre 10 Bor-
deaux. the new headquarters OF the
French line.
The early allegations that Swoboda
spent money lavishly and had a year
lv income Of from $4,000 to $50. 900
upon being investigated by reporters
turned out TO be greatly exaggerated.
Ii was found that SwObOda usually
ate his dinner at a small restaurant
where he never spent mere than so
cents for his meal.

Commerce Chamber Secretary
in Review of Impressions
from Chattanooga Meeting
Says City Must Take the
Initiative t0 Get Road.

II. G. Spaulding. secretary Of the
Chamber Of Commerce, returned We'd
nesday morning from Chattanooga,
Tenn, where he attended the Dixie
Highway convention. IT was one Of
the most riotous conventions he ever
attended. said Spaulding, in point of
crowds, enthusiasm and competition.
over 1000 Dixie highway boosters
from all points of the south attended
the meeting. Mr.. Spaulding had the
distinction Of being from the farthest
north, being the only man from north
of Indianapolis.
What South Bends chances are for
getting in on the route are still up in
the air. stated Spaulding. The mat
ter is now entirely up to the local
boosters, he said a united and
steady pressure will have TO be
brought to bear TO influence the COM
mission that will determine the route.
The one big trouble said Spaulding,
is that the existence of South Bend
south of Indianapolis is practically
unknown. Scores of some OF the ma
tons prominent business men were
met who stood agape when the city
OF South Bend was mentioned. A
few that had heard the name thought
it a town of not more than 10000
souls. 1T is all due TO the imagined
conservatism on the part OF our people
who travel" Spaulding said. Too
many of South Bends people register
themselves as from Chicago instead Of
South Bend"
Local Committee Meets.
A meeting of the local committee
was held Wednesday morning at the
Chamber of Commerce. Methods of
arOusin~ the northern half of the state
in favor OF the South Bend route were
discussed. Letters will be sent out TO
near by cities while a campaign will
be instituted In Chicago for South
Benz. The local committee will for
the time being be interested in the Sc
lection OF two men from Indiana on
the commission to determine the route.
Carl Fisher. president of the Indian
apolis Speedway has been named as
one. His acceptance has not yet been
received. J. d. Oliver of this city will
not be named. said Spaulding, since
Gov. Ralston has stated that he will
name a man from neutral territory.
According TO Spaulding Thomas
Taggart is the man pulling to divert
the route from South Bend. Taggart
wants the road TO pass through French
Lick. From there it would run north
to Lebanon, then to Lafayette and into
Chicago.
Local men hold that the only logical
route is that through South Bend.
Kokomo and Indianapolis enthusiasts
are in favor Of the South Bend route.
All point out that South Bend is most
centrally located TO draw the tourists
from Michigan and the east.
South Bend, however, is not the only
city with a fight on its hands for the
route, said Spaulding. Nearly every
city within a radius Of two or three
hundred miles Of the proposed route
is clamoring for recognition in the
southern states. At the Chattanooga
meeting the boosters came by the
trainload. pulling for their respective
cities. Long and warm speeches were
made by representatives, each eXtOll-
ino the virtues of his own city.
His imp1 ~ssions of the convention
are given in the accompanying article.
