FINANCIAL RELIEF
ASKED BY FARMERS
OF INDIANA COUNTIES

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Appeals
of Indiana farmers for government &C
ton to relieve the economic distress
of their industry have been received
by the Washington office of the Amer
lean Farm Bureau federation for
transmission to the joint COMPRESSION
al agricultural inquiry committee
which is investigating the agricultur-
al situation. The report details con-
dltions in IA Indiana counties which
were compiled after survey by the
Indiana farm bureau organization
1t disclosed that with markets de-
pressed, credits stringent, transporta-
ton rates high and foreign markets
closed because of the international fl
nancial situation, Indiana farmers are
up against situation the like of
which they have never experienced
AS remedial measures, the farmers
recommend a reduction of freight
rates and taxes, cooperative market
ing, liberal extension of credits to
farmers until the present crisis is
passed and government action to open
up foreign markets for the surplus
products of the American producers
Fourteen Counties Represented.
Counties from which reports were
submitted were Marshall, Henry.
Wells, Fulton, Shelby, Vigo, Wander
Dough, Ripley, Ohio, Lawrence, Bar
tholomew, Marion, Switzerland and
Hendricks.
A survey of the reports reveals an
apparent unanimity in fle conclus-
ions that cattle feeders and beef men
lost in the last two years and that
conditions show no immediate i'm
provement; that hog feeders lost
heavily last year and are now holding
their own with small profits in sight
because of the price of corn; that
dairy men are breaking even but are
facing losses because of the decline in
milk prizes; that grain growers pro-
duced at loss last year and that this
/ year even the best growers will fail
| to realize the cost of production.
The reports indicate that major
| lty OF Indiana farmers borrowed mon
| ey to pay the spring installment OF
their taxes.

of the Ku Klux Khan, a revival of the
secret organization found in the re-
construction days of the south has no
authority to exist in Indiana, P. H.
Wolfard, assistant secretary of state,
today informed an Anderson banker.
The request of the banker as to the
legal status of application blanks and
literature regarding the nature of rhe
Ku Klux Khan, indicating that mem
bership was being solicited in Indiana.
The literature indicated that the Ku
Klux Khan is a Georgia corporation.
Mr.. Wolfard said the organization
has no authority to exist in Indiana
either as a society or as a corporation

with the secretary of state for such
authority as required by Indiana law.

made the inquiry was not made
public.

BURNS TESTIMONY IS
ATTACKED IN TRIAL
OF ACCUSED PLAYERS
(By Associated Press

CHICAGO, July 21.-The defense in
the baseball trial today began what
was announced as an attempt through
cross examination to impeach Bill
Burns, the states star witness for
perjury, and early in the day, appar-
emily had forced Burns to contradict
points of his testimony of how
gamblers conspired with White Sox
players to throw the 1919 world
series.
Michael Ahern, questioned Burns
about William Maharg and the meet
ing between Maharg, Burns, Ban John
son, and John Tyrrell, assistant states
attorney, in Texas where Burns agreed
to testify for the state.
Aren't Peaches Grayham. former
catcher for the Cubs, and Philadel-
phia, and Maharg the same?" asked
Ahern.
Burns did not answer. Ahern asked
the question in several ways.
why ask me foolish questions"
said Burns. you seem to know they
aren't. | DON'T
Would Cut Out Confessions.
The state is expected to make a des-
perate effort to have the alleged con.
! fessions of Cicotte, Williams and Jack
! son, former White Sox players, intro
duced while the defense will oppose
such testimony. In these alleged con
fession the players tell of receiving
money to throw the series. On a de-
cision on this question will probably
| depend the usefulness as states wit
nesses Of Hartley Replogle, former as
sistant states attorney, who has
charge of the first grand jury baseball
investigation, and Harry Bingham
foreman of that grand jury, which
heard the alleged confessions of the
players. A battle as to whether these
men can tell what transpired secretly
before this grand jury, is expected
Replogle, however, may be able tt
tell what Cicotte. Jackson and Viii
liams told him before entering the
grand jury room, even if the grand
jury evidence is barred. Bill Donovan
manager of the Philadelphia Nationa
i League club. is here to testify in thu
case and may be heard today. Arnold
Bothstein, who was mentioned il
Burns's testimony as one of the con
i spirators to throw the series, has ex
!. pressed desire for an opportunity t,
be heard and may be on the stanC
before the trial ends.

MORE FOREIGN TRADE
NEEDED BY AMERICA,
SAYS NOTED BANKER
nv Assoaiafed Pressl

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July FL
When America First" is made to
mean decrying the importance OF
Americas foreign trade, it is not well
said, DR.. Walter Lichenstein, execu-
tive secretary of the First National
bank of Chicago told the American
Institute of Banking here today. On
the contrary. he held, large foreign
trade is vital to the prosperity of
some of the most important of Ameri-
cas- business, particularly agriculture.
"All of us believe in America
First" DR.. Lichtenstein said. THAT
is what we are here for, to do every
thing possible to aid and develop the
business of our own country. But we
are not giving aid and comfort if we
support, policy based upon the theory
that our foreign trade is unimportant
and that conditions will right them
selves if we will only look after our
own affairs
Need Outlets for Markets.
at is true that our foreign trade
amounts to possibly only per cent
of the total business done in this
country, but, in the first place, any
business man will tell you that
per cent difference often spells sue
cess or failure, as the case may be
In the second place. when we say that
our foreign business amounts to only
per cent of the total business done
in this country, remember that this is
only a general average including every
commercial and manufacturing activ.
ity known.
"Of the most. important of all in
dustries, however, agriculture, the for
eign trade is vastly larger than 5 pei
cent We must export 250,000,000 II
/ 800, 900, 600 bushels of wheat. Of the
IL 600, 600 or 100000 bales of cotton
which we produce yearly, 6,000,00(
bales must be sent abroad in order Il
| find a market, and in Chicago We rea
J lie that the large packing establish
! ments, so vital to the business of tho
middle west, cannot prosper without
| a large foreign trade"

Because of Dry Weather

which were to have been begun by
the vocational department of the pub
lie schools Aug. 3 was announced by
n. F. Fultz, director of the depart
ment, Thursday.

sible to have the truck grown in gar
dens on hand for canning at the time
planned. The director said that if the
gardens do better it is possible that
the canning classes may be held the
last of August or the first of Septem-
ber
