u. S. DENIES MORE
FARMERS CREDITS
Disastrous Results of Price
Declines Are Pointed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The Federal
Reserve Board will not change its policy
to provide greater extension of credit to
the farmers, as requested by a conference
of farmers here with the national board
OF farm organization, according to Sena
tor Lee S. Overman of North Carolina
Senator Overman made this statement
following a conference with Governor
Harding Of the Federal Reserve Board
He stated that he had been assured by
Governor Harding that there can be no
change OF policy for the benefit Of the
farmers.
Unless relief is granted the farmers
a general panic and ruin are inevitable,
according to the statement prepared by u
committee appointed by the farmers.
The statement, which contained a set
of demands which the farmers will press
before the heads of governmental depart
ments and bureaus here pictured the out
look as extremely serious.
Conditions in the agricultural regions
it was said. are desperate and the farm
ers' frame of mind ominous.
The producers OF all crops, the state
ment declared. have come TO feel that
the hand of the Government is against
them.
Officials of the Treasury Department
and the Federal reserve board are
charged in the statement with having ex-
eeeded their authority in publicly an
nouncing opinions Of the prices of farm
products which have resulted in disas-
trous price declines.
The farmers demand these officials
discontinue such statements.
The effect of these statements, 1t is
urged, was that banks have withheld
loans from farmers.

NCOnIlnueQ FROM Rage Onc.l
wants the inside facts laid before the
people of the State.
II the operators, as Penna indicates
want to pursue the same public be-d-n
policy that brought liquor business to its
end and has driven the public to drastic
regulatory measures In the control or
other business as to protect the people
from extortion, the responsibility lies
with them.
The commission has shown a DISPOSE
ton to deal fairly with the operators in
the adjustment of this matter. They only
want coal for the people Of Indiana at
This they intend to have if there is
power invested In them under the law
TO require the operators to furnish the
coal.
The operators complain that too much
publicity has been given to the facts as
certained by the commission
This was not done, however, until the
operators indicated pretty clearly that
they did not intend to comply with any
of the orders Of the commission.
The operators may drive the commits
sion to do some things that under ordi-
nary circumstances would not be. done. :.
They might just as well understand
that this commission intends 70 exhaust
every lawful power that is vested in 1t to
see that the provisions OF the law are
faithfully carried out and that the people
Of the State are given coal at fair
price.
persist in their refusal to furnish coal
IL the people of the State upon the order
of the commission, all the facts In the
possession Of the commission will be
given to the public.
Tho investigation showed that ten COM
panies in Indiana produce one-third OF
the coal; that twenty-six companies pro-
duce more than 50 per cent of the coal
and that 172 companies in the State con-
troll practically the entire output.
rhe time has gone by in this or any
other State when few men can control
great basic commodity like coal, a
thing necessary to the preservation of
life in our State, and use 1t according
to their own sweet will without any re-
gard whatever to the public interest.
The passage Of this -eoal law was
brought about by the conduct of the OPP
orators themselves
The executive and the general assembly
were reluctant to take this step.
1t is for the coal operators of this
State to say whether or not 1t will be
necessary to take further steps in order
to protect our people.

MOTHER OF LITTLE
GIRLS TELLS STORY.

Mrs. Charles A Pope, 1915 East
Twentieth street, the mother of two lit
tie girls, Dorothy. 8, and Mildred, z, said !:
My two little girls were playing in
the neighborhood in the afternoon, when
this man Lingenfelter, who was riding a
motorcycle, put his machine in an alley
near my home and came up TO where the
children were playing.
He asked the children to aid him in
finding a piece Of wire as he told them
that his motorcycle was broken and
would not run unless he had a piece of
wire.
"The children, just as children would
do. helped him fnd piece of wire, and
when they went with him into the alley
where his motorcycle was, he gave Dor
othy a nickel and two pennies TO Mildred.
THE children at once started to the
corner grocery to buy some candy, but
Lingenfelter called them back and asked
them if they wanted more money.
1.-The children became frightened at his
conduct and ran out of the alley.
After my children came home and told
me about 1t, Lingenfelter rode away, and
1 was told that he went TO Brightwood,
where he was with little girl
when the police first came out told
them of Lfngenfelter giving my children
some money, of offering them more and
attempting to get my oldest daughter
on his motorcycle.
WAS NEVER CALLED
BEFORE THE GRAND JURY.
II took my children to the City Court
and when Lingenfe,ter was bound over to
the grand Jury / asked the police If they
wanted me to appear and Z was told that
I would be notified.
81 was never summoned to appear be-
fore the grand 5nry and would not have
known that the investigation was over
had / not read it In the papers.
II was willing TO appear before the
grand jury to aid in clearing up this mat
ter"
Although it is a well-known principle
of law that It is the duty Of a grand
Jury to present a true bill when II has
reason TO believe that a crime has been
committed and It is never within the
province Of the grand jury to determine
whether the evidence before II is con-
elusive proof of guilt. the grand jury
did not indict Lingenfelter because the
evidence was not conclusive" according
10 Ralph Jones. deputy prosecutor, who
conducted the first inquiry.
Following the second inquiry Mr.. Jones
said:
"If any one thinks that the grand Jury
erred in It's judgment. that is their right.
but the evidence would not warrant an
indictment.
There was q lot of hearsay evidence.
but none that was conclusive"
At the recruiting station Of the United
States Navy it was said today that the
facts concerning Lingenfelter would be
sent to the Navy Department in order
that the question Of whether be would be
retained in the Navy could receive con-
sideration.
