tions was made by Mrs. Edna Christian
at the League OF Nations headquarters at
noon today.

dom for women. not only OF the United
States. but OF every country" declared

she said the American people can not
isolate themselves from contact with the
world as the Republicans are proposing.
"our great lesson In humanity was
taught to us by President Wilson," she
said.
The mention of President Wilson's
name by Mrs. Christian brought euthu-
static applause.
She related her experiences In the war
stricken sections Of Europe, pointing out
how much the League OF Nations means
to the people Of those territories.
Mrs. Christian said the next war will
not be a long one, for such deadly In

few months of the first shot, and She

TAGGART PRAISES
EX-SERVTCE MEN
Says He Would Write Wishes
Into Law.

Thomas Taggart. who is making his
race for the United States Senate on
bis business record, declared in a state
ment issued today that the country owes
a big debt to the former service men
and pledged himself to carry out their
wishes as expressed by the soldiers or
ganizations.
II want to say a word to the service
men and women" he said mot only
of this State. but of the whole United
States.
"For they must all be treated alike.
81 am a believer in economy and bust
ness administration in Government, and
If I am elected Senator, that is what /
Will fight for.
But there are certain debts that the
country owes that 1t can never pay TO
the service men and in such matters the
greatest economy Is to do the best you
can at least to show appreciatioH
"One of those debts that the country
can never pay is due our ex-seryice men
and women
THE most we can ever do is to show
our heartfelt appreciation.
For Congress to fail in this would
be. false economy and bad business.
Il realize what the ex-service men and
women most desire as the resolutions of
their various organizations express il,
and If l am elected senator, / wIl do
everything in my power to write those
wishes into law"

in Attempt to Protect
Administration s Pets

The extent to which members Of the
present administration will go in their
Efforts to avoid prosecuting bootleggers.
gamblers and other administration pets
was fairly well defined yesterday when
Ralph Spaan, deputy prosecutor, inter
rupted the City Court long enough to
seek to annoy employees of The Times.
Mr.. Spaan explained that he was act
Ing under instructions"
An alleged forthwith subpoena" for
the managing editor of The Times was
placed in the hands of a Lieutenant OF
police who was instructed to serve it,
Service was acknowledged by r. A.
Butler, editor Of The Times, who ap-
peared before Judge Prltchard at 3
o'clock.
Mr.. Spaan attempted to ask questions
concerning publications In The Times
Of Monday regarding open violations OF
law in indianapolis.
In response to demand that he be
confronted with the charges against him,
II there were any, or the exact reason
given for his being hailed into the court
under the apparent custody OF an officer,
assurances were given Mr.. Butler by
Judge Pritchard:
First-Tnat no charges were pend
ing against nim and the alleged
subpoena was not issued IN any
pending cause.
Second-ThAt he was under no le-
gal obligation to answer any ques-
tions.
Thereupon Mr. Spaan, IN a loud voice
Explained" that IAN invitation" had
been issued to Mr.. Butler to appear In
police court so that I might state in
open court that 1 stand ready to file

any one else you care to file against"

Tho prosecutor then suggested that
the witness" meet him in his office when
court adjourned
Mr. Butler stated to the court that he
presumed the prosecutor could prepare
affidavits and the officers charged with
enforcement Of the law could swear to
them without the assistance of citizens,
but that if such was not possible, citi-
zens could doubtless do so.
Later, in Mr.. SPANS office, the atten-
ton of the deputy prosecutor was called
to the fact that there is a grand jury
in session in Marion County empowered
by the statutes to investigate law vio-
lations, that every person connected with
the Times is subject to subpoena by
that grand jury and stands ready to
answer such questions as may be put
to him touching law violations within his
knowledge.
Mr.. Spaan was also informed that
neither he nor his chief, Mr.. Adams.
could bluff, scare or coerce anyone con-
neeted with the Times by such wholly
Illegal proceedings as had just been at
tempted.
The police officer who served the sub
poena rendered the use of a police de-
partment automobile for the trip to Po-
lice Court, the Times editor was not
sworn when requested to take the witness
stand and Mr.. Spaan, who evidenced no
surprise over his refusal to be ques-
toned under these conditions admitted
that he was only acting under instruc-
tions.
In the corridors Of the Police station
it was said that Mr.. Spaan had earlier
In the day been called to the courthouse
for a conference with Claris A6ams,
prosecutor.
