counties of the State will send the
best of their peg loopers" to the an
nual State tournament. In addition
to the increased cash awards offered
to winners of the various events, the
county team winning the State cham
pionship will be authorized to repre-
sent Indiana in the national horse
shoe tournament, which. will be held
later this fall. Tradition has made
the game to an Indiana farmer what
throwing the discus was to an ancient
Greek.
Competition will be particularly
keen this year in the boys and girls
calf, corn, potato ana pig clubs. In
creating the interest of farm youths
in stock raising the fair board. has
assured itself that there will be
"grown-up" exhibitors in the fairs of
the years to come.
Fireworks Planned
One of the largest stages in the
world has been erected in the track
enclosure for the fireworks display,
which is scheduled to be held every
night Of the week. The display will
be in front of the large grandstand.
In previous years this attraction alone
has brought thousands of farmers
from adjacent counties, who were
unable to attend during the day pro-
grams because of work. More money
has been spent for fireworks this
year than ever before and every pre-
caution has been taken to insure the
co Fa+v of cpac+atOrS
There is one spot everybody visits.
No matter how attractive the exhib-
its, how fast the races, how daring
the acrobats, everybody takes at least
one look at the Midway. A large num-
Der Of shows will line either side Of
the street, inside of which will be aero
bats, tumblers, circus performers, wild
animals, and every other conceivable
attraction a fair circus could boast.
Performers with the Midway attrac-
lions will take part each evening in
the Coliseum horse show.

The automobile show will be one Of
the principal attractions this year.
The board of agriculture has taken
over complete charge Of the automo-
bile show, and with practically unlim-
tied space available in the manufactur-
ers building, Indianapolis and the
State will be given an opportunity to
show to the world their respective
Importance as automobile manufactur-
ing centers. The latest creations OF

Of exhibits have been increased con-
siderably. Much attention will be paid

M'CRAY CREDITORS
CONSIDER PLAN OF
TRUST AGREEMENT
TWo-Year Extension for In
debtedneSS Asked by
Governor.

Investigation of the plan proposed
by Governor Warren 7. McCray for
turning over practically all his prop
erty to his creditors under a trust
agreement was begun today by COM
mittee of five named at a creditors
meeting at the SEVERN Thursday.
Committee: Elmer E. Stout, In
dianapolis, president of the Fletcher
American National Bank; W. H. Ar
mold, president of the American Trust
Company of Kokomo; Linton A. Cox,
lawyer, of Indianapolis; F. H. Cut
shall, vice president Of the Old Nation
al Bank of Fl. Wayne, and Charles
Hubbard, president Of the Citizens
National Bank of Martinsville.
The committee will report its f1nd-
ings and recommendations next Fri
day.
McCray Reads Statement
The meeting was attended by about
15e representatives Of creditor banks.
Governor McCray read a brief state
ment and then retired to a room on
the ninth floor of the SEVERN, where
he remained until the conclusion Of
the meeting.
He plainly was affected by the
strain he had been under. After he
had gone to his room, he stated:
This was the most huminating
thing 1 ever have done:
1T took more nerve to do what
have done than to take a gun and
end # ALL"
The statement read by the Governor
was substantially the same as the one
given to the press Thursday except
that he suggested an extension Of his
Indebtedness for two years.
BY that time. he said, conditions in
the agricultural industry would be
greatly improved. The Governor
stated that he owned more than 49,
600 acres Of land and a herd Of high
grade Hereford cattle 500 to 500 in
number. He admitted that many Of
the outstanding obligations were in
dorsements of notes executed under
the name of subsidiary concerns,
which in reality were his own paper.
MANY of the notes bear the farm
name and that of the resident man.
ager and are Endorsed by myself in
order that the notes would be in bet

planned.
Creditors Committee Suggested
He suggested appointment Of a
creditors committee to take over his
property under a trust agreement.
IF this should not be in accord
with your best judgment, I know or
no other way open except one which
I would seriously deplore to take

ton has nearly passed. No grave
crimes have occurred, and the num-
ber Of petty thefts and house robberies
seem not to have risen above normal.
A few cases Of theft have been re-
ported to the police and some Of the
city's guests have been the sufferers.
1t might have been expected that the
number of such cases would be larger.
No doubt q big measure of congratu-
lation should go to the police Of the
District, reinforced by many skillfM
detectives and police from other cities.
While local arrangements for keeping
the crowds in order during the great
spectacles and in keeping traffic NOV
ing in the streets have been excellent,
there has no doubt been highly eff
eient work by our own detectives and
those of other cities who have mingled
with the crowd.
With all the inflammable wooden
structures built along the streets and
the wealth of fieecy and filmy decora-
tions, there has been no disturbance
from fire. The preventive measures
taken by the local fire department
have worked well. During Shrine
time firemen with extinguishers have
been stationed under the grandstands
and at other places of possible danger
in the crowded section Of the city.
There has been no visible drunken
ness. The flood of bootleg whisky
which it was feared would be turned
loose in the city has not been in evi-
dence. 1t is probable that the prohibi-
ton enforcement men and the local
police trained to the work set up bar
riers on the roads and on the river
which the rum runners could not

Shrine Officers.

The Ancient Arabic Order of the
Mystic Shrine believes in promotion.
Its organization is founded. indeed.
upon rotation in office. Its officers are
elected for one year only. They are
carefully selected all the way down
the line because the least in rank in
the imperial divan, which is the su-
preme governing body of the order, is
a prospective chief potentate.
Thus in effect yesterday when the
business of electing theimperial officers
was discharged there was really but
one contest and that was for the Office
of imperial outer guard, who ranks
at the end of the list. There were
several candidates for this office, for
the successful one was put in line for
the presidency" so to speak. Thus
it was not precisely an imperial outer
guard for 1923-1924 who was elected,
but potential imperial potentate of
the order for 1934-35-that is to say,
former, Representative Ireland. who
won the election yesterday. will, if
nothing unforeseen happens and the
usual procedure of the, Shrine Is fol.
lowed, become the head of the organi-
cation eleven years hence
There. is an idea in this for business
concerns and possibly for political par
ties. OF course, it would not do in a
big business to put a man up at the
top for one year only, however excel
lent might be the men Immediately in
line below him as possible successors
in rotation Yet the virtual certainty
of promotion is a factor in assuring
efficiency, provided, of course, that
everybody who is in line is consist
organization and maintains his eligi.
bility during the years of waiting.

President Harding's Trip.

President Harding's itinerary for
the trip he will take to the west coast,
Alaska. the Canal Zone and Porto Rico
has been completed. and the chief
executive expects to start June 20 and
return to the capital about August 10.
On the way to Seattle he proposes to
make about twenty speeches on a va
riety OF topics. it is announced from
the White House. This journey will
not constitute q personal junket nor. a
political campaigning undertaking. It
is a quest for first-hand information
concerning territorial and insular pos.
sessions with which the President
should be supplied. -.
Alaska is the main objective of the
Presidents informative journey. This
territory, marveleusly rich in unde-
veloped resources, has admittedly been
neglected by the government. 1t has
| long suffered from the ills of bureau
cratic administration, according to
successive reports of governors, and
it's development has been retarded. In
deed, the territory may almost be said
to have retrograded.
President Harding intends, it is said,
to obtain a thorough insight into ac-
tual conditions. as basis for recon.
mendations to Congress for legislative
remedial action. recommendations
have been made in plenty in the past,
in the annual reports Of administrative
officials, but too often have languished
and perished in committees of Con-
gress. New hope will be afforded the
population of Alaska by the Presi-
dents appearance among them and the
sympathy with their grievances which
will no doubt be aroused in him. Then,
when he makes suggestions for legisla-
ton, with his heart in them, results
may be looked for in Congress.
1t is well that the President pro-
poses to stop along the way and talk
to the people. The people want to see
him. and it is advisable that he should
meet them and get in personal touch
with them. Great benefit should come
to all concerned by the President s
faring forth on his present mission.
