Democrats, Already Planning
on Capturing Indiana in
November, Now More Con-
fident as Result of Con-
ViCtion
BY EDWARD III. ZEIGNER
(Snecial Leased Wire to The Journal)
icrnt 1904

INDIANAPOLIS, May War
rem r. McCray, gone to Atlanta to
begin CRYING a sentence of ten years
in the federal prison for using the
mails in a scheme to defraud, has
come to the end of his rainbow. In
stead of personal wealth and political
eminence, which he thought he
would find, he is a convicted crlml-
nal, with individual and political
wrecka ge in is wake.
When he became governor OF In
diana three years ago. McCray did
not believe in himself any more than
the people did. AS a successful
breeder of blooded cattle, to which
he added a genius for publicity, he
was probably the best advertised
private citizen in the state.
The magic of his name intoxicated
not only others, but himself, as
events have proved. Finally, he be-
came convinced that he could do no
wrong. A psychologist watching him
at his trial would have compared
him with a baby-neither moral nor
immoral, just immoral.
Caught i'm Imitation Period
Caught in the reaction from World
office of governor and forged hun
dreds of notes, sent false financial
statements to banks far and wide to
assist in marketing them, and used
the proceeds-wel nobody outside
himself knows just where all the
money did go. 1t has been estab-
lished that there was some specula-
ton in grain And he pyramided
his already extensive land holdings.
He gambled with his fancy wherever
it led him. In so doing he borrowed
not only from banks but from in
diViduals, wherever he could, doing
Whatever he thought was necessary
to get the funds. Even a member
of his own immediate family is I'M
derstood to have advanced him $15,-
900 DIR more at his request. The lure
of the name was complete. The
spell of his reputation ruled, just as
it had ruled when he was a candi-
date Under that cloak Warren T..
McCray Travelled to the denoument
Now that his hand is played out,
the political reverberatiCn will grow
in intensity Indiana never can be
counted definitely before any cleo
ton for either the Democrats or the
Republicans. From 1908 to 1916 the
Democrats controlled the state gov
eminent and had a majority Of the
members in the congress. The Re
publicans elected James H. Goodrich
as governor in 1915 after hard
battle and repeated with McCray in
1920 In the congressional elections
of 1922 the Democrats made a con-
siderable comeback.

SCHOOLS
WILL GET EXCESS
REVENUE At ONCE

The common schools of Georgia
will receive at least 100000, and
probably an amount considerably in
excess of that sum, above the leg
islature's appropriation Of $4,250, 900
from the revenues of the state for
1923, Governor Walker declared
Thursday. In connection with the
announcement, Governor Walker de.
chred a warrant for $4,000 will be
sent to the state department of ed
ucation at once.
This $4,000 is the first money the
common schools have received under
the act of the legislature three years
ago providing that the schools shall
receive one-half of any state revenue
in excess of the sum estimated by
the legislature when the annual ap-
preparations are made. The esyi-
mated revenues have been placed
at $8,500,000 for the past two years,
and the schools have been appro.
priated $4,250000 of that amount.
The revenues of the state for 1922
were almost $10,000,0O0, and the
schools claimed one-half Of an al.
legged excess of $1,250000, or $685..
900. However, it was found that
the entire excess had been paid out
for other purposes and under other
appropriations by the legislature.
and the schools failed to get any
of the money they claimed.
Repeated Demands
County school boards and the
state department have made repeat
ed demands for this money, but
have been unsuccessful in getting
any Of it, as the state treasury can
not pay out the same money twice,
Governor Walker refused to pay
any deficiency appropriations made
bv the last legislature until he could
ascertain what the total revenues of
the state would be, and the common
schools had been taken care Of I'm
der the act giving them one-half
of excess revenues. This policy Is
making the money ava ..,ble for the
schools as it is collected.
The $4,000 that it is known will
be available for the schools will take
care of the amount allocated TO the
various counties for the development
of consolidated high schools, and
probably will be used for that pur-
pose. the governor stated. He sent
a telegram to be read to the state
educators now in session at SaVan-
nah, assuring them that they can
depend upon at least 100000 above
the regular school appropriation.
Total Still in Doubt
There is no method of knowing
just what the total revenues of the
state will be for 1923, despite the
fact that four months of 1924 already
have passed. This is because many
tax collectors have not made their
final settlements for state taxes for
last wear. Although fl fas have been
issued in most instances, there are
thousands of taxpayers who do not
settle with the tax collectors until
their porerty is actually advertised
for sale, and this has not been done
in many counties.
Other state officials believe that
the governors estimate of $500, 900
excess revenue, Of which 100000
will go to the schools and 100000
into the general fund. is very con-
sentative, and that Il final revenue
will be around 80 900 600, or $500, 900
above the estimate.

Inoculate Soy Beans to
Assist Greater Growth

Inoculated soy beans have made a
greater growth than those not inocula-
ted and growing side by side. This Is
especially true on poor soils.
An experiment at Michigan showed
that soy beans that were planted side
by side. and the only difference In
treatment was that n was inoculated
and the next plot was not. on analy-
sis, showed a different protein con-
tent. Those that were inoculated had
so per cent greater protein content
than those not in%oculated. This ex-
pertinent was on poor soil where It
proved that ln~oculatlng has a bene-
icial effect on the plant itself. This
difference was not so great on better
soil.
Soy beans grown at Iowa state COL
lege under similar conditions. the only
difference being that one plot had In
oculated beans and the other did not,
were easily distinguished in Septem-
Der. At this time the lnoculated beans
were green while those that were not
inoculated were yellow.

INDICTMENTS RETURNED
IN j. S. OIL SCANDALS
poheny, Fall and Sinclair Charged
With Criminal Action In Re-
gard to Naval Oil leases

Washington. - Four indictments
rotary of the interior. Harry F. Sim
clair, Edward L. DOheny and f. l..
Doheny, Jr.. with criminal action in
connection with the leasing of naval
oil reserves in Wyoming and Califor-
mia were returned June 30 in the Dis
rrlct of Columbia supreme court.
A special grand jury, which has CIV
en- weeks to consideration of the evil
dence. leveled formal charges of felony
against the four men, whose names
have held the spotlight in the pro-
longed senate oil investigation and the
civil litigation which followed.
Fall and the two Dohenys, the first
Indictment charged, entered into and
maintained an unlawful conspiracy
from July 1, 1921, to December II,
1922, to enable the Pan-American Pc
troleum and Transport company and
Its subsidiary, the Pan-American Pc
troleum company to obtain control of
naval oil reservation No. 1 in Cali
fornia.
Similarly, the second indictment said
Fall and Sinclair %conspired unlawfully
between December 81, 1921 and April
Z, 1922, to give the Mammoth Oil COM
pany a Sinclair corporation, control Of
the Teapot Dome reservation in Wyo-
ming.
The third indictment charged Fall.
singly, with accepting a bride of $780,
600 from the Dohenys to influence his
action in the California lease, and &C.
companying negotiations concerning
storage and exchange Of naval oil,
while the fourth, reversing the same
charge, held the Dohenys up for prose-
cution for paying Fall the money In
question.
Attorneys for the indicted men all
arranged to bring their clients into
court next week and to put up bail OF
5000 zach to secure their appearance
for trial.
