Carroll Herald Of Last Week Tells Of
Discovery Of Wireless Station
not $50 Miles From Carroll.
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FIND IT
Dispatches Found From Mexico, Cal.

Message About U-Boat Victory

The Carroll Herald of last Wednes-
day contained a startling news item
which will be of interest to readers
of the Review. The article follows
The writer is in possession Of some
things that would startle people who
believe that we are in no danger OF
plots and conspiracies, such as are re-
ported from distant parts of the coun.
try. The fact is We are confronted
with the same conditions that exist all
over the land in these stirring war
times. The following story comes
from source that is absolutely I'M
questionable and was related to the
writer in connection with others OF
like nature.
Late in June a wireless station was
discovered in grove in farm COM
munity not $50 miles from Carroll.
The aerial and foundation were built
of good material and splendidly
equipped. Ostensibly, it was owned
by a 10 year old boy. son of the farm.
er on whose ground it stood. The on
ly detached persons in the neighbor-
hood were two farm hands One
day government agents descended up
on the wireless and took possession.
Inside were found dispatches from
Mexico, California, Cuba and other
remote points. One message was
from the English channel telling OF
U-boat victory" The two farm
hands" were found to be expert op'
orators. presumably representing the
German government. 1t was found
that they had run heavy bills at near,
by telephone stations in sending out
grain quotations." There is line
Of elevators along the main railroad
owned mostly by foreign capitalists
not friendly to us now, and these
farm hands were working in con-
spiracy with other "graindealers." In
formation received by wireless was
sent away in cipher. grain quotations
being used in the code. These grain
quotations" were sent to Omaha, Den.
yer, Chicago, New York. San Francis
co, thence to Spain and elsewhere. 1t
is assumed. Many readers OF the
Herald know tho spot where the wire.
less was located and would be
startled to know that the German
spy system has been operated so near
their home.
Now as never before is eternal Wig.
lance necessary. As we send boys to
war, does anybody wonder that our
authorities are preparing to deal the
spy system a death blow?

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Four hun
bred bituminous and anthracite coal
operators gathered here to consider
reduction of coal prices for the govern
ment and public joined In demonstra-
ton of approval today, when Secretary
Lane told them that the sensible and
patriotic thing to do was to put into
tie hands of some one 70 some small
group the fixing of the coal prices
!. Secretary Lane minced no words IN
telling the coal men they should. be
patriotic enough to forego profit for
the successful conduct OF war.
The success of the country in this
great war" he said, rests on you
and you are responsible Just the same
as the soldiers in the trenches or the
President In the White House.
"You control the fundamental In
dustry. How much vision have you?
Are you small or big; are you petty
politicians or statesmen? The country
will not stand anything but large
policy from large men. There must be
some adjustment in the coal industry.

the front, it is no time for you to reap
an advantage even when it comes I'M

Esther Griffin White Says
Supreme Court May Re-
turn Ballot to Sex.

Women who intended to vote Sep

delegates to the constitutional conven.
ton, need not be deferred from regis.

Judge Thornton, Of Indianapolis, that
while the act of the last legislature pro-
viding for new Constitution was valid
its provisions relative to women vet.
ing for those delegates was not valid"
said Esther Griffin White. chairman
OF the Women Voters Association, this
morning.
This suit was the result Of the work
of the anti-suffra gists outside of Ind
lana. and Of the well known opposition
to woman's suffrage from certain In
terests. II does not voice the decision
OF the men voters of Indiana through
their representatives in the legislature.
Women can and should so right on
registering at the clerks office In the
court house so that should the Indiana
Supreme court reverse the decision OF
the lower court, the women would
be ready to vote"
Miss White explained the require
ments Of women's registration.
THE only thing any woman Of vot-
ing age has to do IL she wants to vote
is to go down to the county clerks
office and tell them that she has come
to register The brief formality there
gone through with. which is merely
the answering Of the same sort OF
questions the men answer under sim
liar circumstances. is all that is neces-
sary to make her a fully qualified
voter
Much confusion has followed the
poll which the local Franchise League
has been taking, as many women think
that this is part of registration.
This Is not the case. The Indiana
Franchis League is making a member
ship drive all over the state and is
asking all its local leagues to take a
poll of the women voters to the end OF
adding to the membership of the local
leagues.
Every woman should bear in mind
that, II she wants to vote, she must
register. And all that is required by
the state of Indiana for her to do in
order to register is to go to the clerks
office in the court house and state that
is what she Is there for

woman of voting age to do this"
