MUNCIE MAYOR,
STATES YOUNT

MUNCIE. Ind. May 31.-Startling
testimony to the effect that Mayor
Bunch and deputy prosecutor, VII
Hams, received upward OF 1000 each
for protection given his slot machine
operations, was adduced today from
Lloyd Yount in the Williams bribery
trial today.
Yount produced books alleged to
show record of sums paid They
ranged from 50 to $76 He said he
settled regularly every Saturday after
noon in the mayors private Office.
Yount declared the slot machine
business was so successful that it was
extended to Portland, Albany and
Eaton, and that he was sent to An
derson where he made arrangements
with a certain nice gentleman" to
put in machines there. Before he could
do that Yount said he was arrested at
Richmond for the attempted bribery
Of the Mayor there
Yount said he was crowded out Of
the business in Muncie, and he pro-
tested about 1t.
Bunch told me he didn't do 1t; that
Jean Williams did it," he declared
Yount also declared Williams owned
a half interest in a redlight house
while he was deputy prosecutor.

FOULkE'S EXAMPLE
IS EMULATED BY
FRIENDS IN SALEM

Following the example of William
Dudley Foulke of this city and several
other prominent members of the
Friends church, the Blue River quar-
terly meeting of Friends, now in sess.
ion near Salem, Ind, has withdrawn
its support Of the Friends Peace
Society, which has its headquarters in
Chicago. and voted to devote the
money hitherto contributed to this
society to the relief of war sufferers.
Discussions of the question of pre-
paredness for national defense proved
a live wire topic at the Blue River
quarterly meeting and sharp division
of opinion was revealed.
Many prominent members of the
Friends church are anticipating a very
interesting discussion of prepared
ness at the Indiana Yearly Meeting,
to be held in Richmond next Septem-
Der. There are quite few Quakers
who now believe the United States
should make adequate preparations to
defend itself from foreign aggression.
Many others, however, still remain ar
dent pacifists, opposing any increase
in the military and naval establish
ments.

.HANLY SEES HOPE
FOR PROHI TICKET

INDIANAPOLIS, May 31.-Some
time ago the question was asked ::
Where will J. Frank Hanly, former
governor, supposedly Progressive can.
d1date for Governor, and Prohibition
party lecturer, land in the political
pot?"
He apparently has answered the
question in an interview with a Pro-
hibition leader. He believes none of
the three leading political parties will
include prohibition plank in their
platforms.
This will mean the hour has struck
for the Prohibition party" he is quot
ed as saying. Each of the three lead
ing parties. Republican, Democratic
and Progressive, will have to declare
themselves one way or the other, he
said.
