M'CRAY SAYS OFFICE
COST HIM FORTUNE
Governor Claims Attention to
Duty Ruined Him-kttacks
Attitude of Jury.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, December Ia
When everything has been cleared
in regard to my present financial diff
ficulties the people of Indiana will
find that during my administration
as chief executive OF this beloved
state I have acted squarely and hon
cStly," Gov. Warren T. McCray said
here last night in 4 statement re-
garding his indictment by the grand
jury in indianapolis several weeks
ago.
The governor said that his failures
were due only to the fact that he had
devoted his entire time unselfishly
toward the duties of governor and
as a result his entire personal for
tune was wiped out. He vigorously
attacked the method used in refusing
10 allow him to go before the grand
jury. He stated that certain forces
were at work to bring disgrace upon
him and his name, but could not ac-
count for the reasons.
Refers TO Precedent.
He referred to a case handled by
the grand jury in September, in which
he said another man was inveSti-
gated and vindicated by his own tes-
Jimony.
The governor made the following
statement upon his return from
Hazleton. where he made an address
at the opening of a new bridge span.
ming White river:
There is no doubt but I will be
absolutely vindicated when facts con-
cerning my financial affairs are laid
before the public.
II would have told my story before
had not my attorneys directed me to
keep silent, but that the people may
know the true state of affairs / am
glad to give my opinion to them.
when my affairs came up l expect
ed the privilege accorded other Ameri-
can citizens to go before the grand
jury and tell the truth. Unfortunately
this privilege was denied me, notwith-
standing that in September the same
privileges were granted by the same
court. and the same six men constitu-
ting the grand jury, to another citizen
which resulted in the complete vindi-
cation Of the man.
Feels Injustice.
Il can't explain just what forces
were at work that operated in the
denial TO me. the chief executive of
the state of Indiana, what was grant
ed the others and ] feel that a great
injustice has been done to me and my
good name.
AT all times have welcomed an in
vestigation, but until this time l have
not been granted the opportunity of
the square deal.
Il have devoted myself so assiduous-
ly and unselishly TO the duties of
governor of this state that 1 have sac
rificed my personal fortune. That is
the only reason on earth that my
financial affairs are disrupted"

Dr.. Mayo Wants
College Girls to
Make OUr1 Beds
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, December
13.-Dr. w. j. Mayo Of Rochester
does not believe girls should get
out of the habit of making up
their own beds when they go off
to college, he said.
He made his position clear to
fellow members of the University
of Minnesota board of regents dur
ing a discussion of dormitories.
In explaining the items included in
the dormitory charge for woman
students, Albert J. Lobb, univer-
sity controller, enumerated,
among other things, chambermaid
service.
"And what does that consist off"
DR.. Mayo asked.
Making up beds, cleaning and
dusting the rooms and so FORTH"
Mr.. Lobb replied.
DR.. Mayo laughed. 81 dare say
most of the woman students living
there made up their own beds
when they were home" he said.
IL do not see why they should
abandon that wholesome practice
while at the university"
