Woods Remains in Custody
When His Bond Is Raised

The records of the court show that
Lee Woods was indicted last year under
the name of William l.. Wood on a
charge of stealing a COW. Sentence was
suspended July II, 1920, during good
behavior" the record shows.
Judge Collins stated that William L.
Wood and Lee Woods is the same person.
REPRESENTED HE
COULD FIX THINGS"
Woods was indicted on charge Of OBJ
tanning 1925 from the relatives and par
ents of Clifford Tate, who is serving a
sentence at the Indiana State Farm for
stealing a COW, for the alleged purpose
Of paying Judge Collins, Prosecutor
Evans and other county officials to sign
petition asking the board Of pardons
to release Tate from the farm.
Woods is alleged to have told the rela-
tives Of young Tate that it would be
necessary. to give Judge Collins 500, $25
to Prosecutor Evans and an average Of
S15 to other officers at the Courthouse.
1t is stated in the indictment that
Woods never bad any agreement with
any county officer to give them money
Tie indictment charges that Woods and
another man successfully induced Tate's
relatives TO pay them 1925 'to fix
things"
Judge Collins has the power to revoke
the suspended sentence on Woods be-
cs use thel lleniency was granted pending
good behavior"

The magic Of the name Of Louis Brown,
known at police headquarters as a pro-
fessiOnal bondsman and a Republican po-
litical worker failed to keep Lee Woods,
4 laborer at the State fairgrounds and
a young political henchman, at liberty
after he was indicted with another man
on a charge OF collecting S325 for the
alleged purpose of bribing Judge James
A. Collins, Prosecutor William Evans and
other county officials.
Woods was arrested yesterday afternoon
after the grand jury returned a sensa-
tiOnal indictment against him and another
man who has not been arrested. Woods
was taken to Jail for a short time only
as Brown appeared to sign as surety
a 81 1000 bond for Woods. Woods was re
leased from custody.
BOND RAISED AT
PROSECUTORS REQUEST.
AS soon as Prosecutor Evans heard that
Woods was at liberty on a bond with
Brown as surety, the prosecutor moved
the court to increase the bond to 5000
Judge Collins approved of the request
and ordered Woods again placed in the
custody of the sheriff. Woods is now in
Jail because of his failure to give salts
factory bond
The records of the Criminal Court show
that Woods has been favored by Judge
Collins in the past as he is now under
a suspended sentence of from one to
fourteen years at the Indiana State re-
formatory on a charge Of grand larceny.

The engineer, 4. f. Johnson, and ID.
l.. Flynn. fireman. were perhaps fatally
injured. Both men stuck to their posts
and were badly scalded.
Extent of the injuries OF those hurt
could not be ascertained, because of the
minor examination given after the in
Jured had been carried from the wreck
age. Both members OF the engine crew
were so severely burned and injured that
their recovery is not expected.
The train is said to have been travel
ing at a rapid speed when It reached

lief was administered. Many were cut

WITH BRTTISHER

WASHINGTON. July 2s.-There was a
most important journalistic conference at
the White House today.
President Harding, owner OF the
Marion Star, and Lord Northcliffe, owner
OF sundry British newspapers, were
closeted for more than an hour aud
twenty minutes.
we talked newspapers" said Lord
Northcliffe, at the conclusion of the con-
ference Just newspapers. Your Presi-
dent knows all about newspapers. He
agreed with me that the hour before go
ing to press Is the most interesting hour
in a newspaperman's life.
His Marion Star was on his desk. l

you have a very handsome and digni
fed President"
Northcliffe turned to depart whe nsome
one fired a question about the disarma
ment conference.
"See here. young man. know this
game l have been in II for years; you
can't draw me out" said the British peer.
Il have been in Washington before; /
know the things to discuss"
Then some one mentioned prohibition.
Lord Northclife became Immediately In
terested He denied that he had ever said
there was no prohibition in The United
States.
What I said was that I had seen no
prohibition in the United States. and
haven't. l understand you can always

interested to see whether you have 1t in
Washington he said.
"Will there ever be prohibition in Eng
lad? he was asked.
There was an explosive NO and the
interview was ended.
There was no tendency whatever among
officials to be critical of the tone of thS
reply of the Toxic government, and one
high Administra '!on official characterized
it as very graceful acceptance"
1t was pointed out that one of the i'm
portant reservations suggested by Japan,
namely, that there should be q discus

of the conference, already had been
agreed TO by Secretary Hughes in his
MEMORANDUM of July %, while the other
two, which deal with matters which ia
pan believes might well be excluded from
discussing, are perfectly agreeable to this
Government.
The only passage Of the japanese mem

HOME INDUSTRY
SHOWING SIGNS
OF QUICKENING
Many Straws Point to Coming

A distinct improvement in the financial
outlook OF Indianapolis Is noted this
week, due 10 the satisfactory adjustment
Of local conditions that were but re.

cacturing.
1t is generally known that number OF
financial institutions have been holding
considerably greater reserves than custo-
mary In order 10 be on the conservative
side during a period when there has been
no assurance Of immediate improvement.
There is now a feeling that these reserves

A general tendency throughout the
country to absorb bonds with a high

. Building IN indianapolis. while not as
general as is desirable, Is nevertheless
steady and increasing. Costs of con-
structien appear to be sinking grad

have been temporarily delayed are now
either under way or about to start.
QUICKENING SEEN
IN INDUSTRY.
There is still an inclination on the part
OF some manufacturers to await Septem-
her before endeavorng to start large
production, but there is also a desire on
the part of others to get under way at
once. Negotiations looking TO an early
resumption Of business by some OF the
industries recently suspended or cur
tailed are now being pushed.
The month of July will be recroded as
the period in which Indianapolis industry
quickened. Even the most pessimistlc
concede that no retrogression is in pros
pect anywhere along the line.
INCREASED ACTIVITY
AT BIG FOUR SHOPS.
Increased activity Is being shown at
the Beech Grove shops of the Big Four
Railroad. In the locomotive repair de
partment about one hundred and fifty
shop men have been added to the force
during the week, and the car repair de
partment has been authorized to add 800
employees to Its various sub departments.
The car repair department has been
more seriously affected during the last
months than the locomotive department
