MCKAY IS GUILTY,
 k HE GOES ID JAIL
Not Likely to Appeal From Jqry's
 Decision

Indianapolis, April Ex-Governor Warren T. McCray was found guilty of using the mails in furtherance Of . scheme to defraud by a jury in the federal court here at 6:S0 p. m. The case was given to the jury at SEQ. Judge Anderson ordered McCray sent to the Marion County jail. He will sea- tence the governor Wednesday morn- ing at g o'clock.
 Efforts by Governor MeCray to get explanations of his acts before the jury were prevented by Homer Elliott. United States district attorney, and Judge Anderson during cross-examin- alton before the jury took the case.
 The witness knows his rights" said Judge Anderson. and if he persists in making explanations I shall have 10 admonish him."
 Why, judge. I -" began McCray.
 q don't answer any conversation from you sir" stated the court. Tn deed, I don't want any conversation with you.'
 "Wou't you let me explain judge?" asked McCray, his voice quivering.
 The judge said he would have to abide by the court rules, and added: If were advising you. I'd advise you to do lot differently from what you are doing"
 When NJ. A. Ryan, one of the gov srnor's attorney was asked regarding an appeal he said:

 The penalty provided by statute may be a fine of not to exceed s1,000 or imprisonment for not more than hvs years, or both. within the discre- tion of the court.
 McCray's Career
 warren T. McCray. the first man convicted while holding the office of governor of Indiana, was inaugurated January l, 1921. having been elected on the republican ticket. Previous to making the race he had participated only slightly in politics. Much Of his time had been devoted to banking. cattle raising and grain dealing. He is 50.
 His business career was begun as bookkeeper in a country bank. Then followed a slow climb to fortune. He was rated . wealthy man years be- fore he sought the goyernorship.
 He went to work as bookkeeper in . Kentland bank at the age of fif- teen. after attending public school in Kentland. Mir. McCray later became president of the bank.
 For six years Mir. McCray worked with figures. and then he resigned to TO into the grocery business. Suc- cessfui, he soon turned to the grain business. As rapidly as the money was fcrtho oming from one grain ele- vator, he invested in another and soon had q chain over the northwestern part of the state. At one time he was of the National Grain Deal- ers' association, which he helped to establish. Another time he was presi- dent of the state board of agriculture.
 The fact that his schooling was lim- tied did not hinder him, for he stud led hard later. While governor he proved a strong supporter of educa- tors in the state.
 Mccrays pride was three thous- and acre stock farm near Kentland. called Orchard Lake stock farm, and was the birthplace of many of the worlds greatest Herefords.

much experimenting or who is con-
structing merely one or two sets can
get along very well with two dozen
screws Of each type.

The rest of the machine screw as
screws of the various sizes and
threads. A gross Of each of the
following sizes in IN -inch lengtha
viii provide screws OF those sizes
Of any length required: 4-3s. $50 and
S-32 These can be obtained in both
aat-head and round-head types With
these on hand it is possible to get
any length of screw up to 1H inches
and of any Of the desired sizes by
cutting the long screws down to the
required size.
The screws can be cut with a pair
Of cutting pliers or a hacksaw.
After they are cut the end should be
filed so as to remove the rough edge
or jammed thread caused by the cut
ting. In this way large variety or
sizes can be obtained at minimum
cost.
Nuts for use with such screws
should be provided. Hexagon be.ass
nuts, sizes 4-36, $50 and $50, in
quantities depending on the amount
of experimenting which you intend ITO
do, will fill the bill for all the sizes
Of screws you intend to use.
In experimenting there are often
times when a washer Of the right size
is worth its weight in gold Your
hardware store can furnish you with
brass washers in various sizes. The
best sizes are those whose holes are
y. Y and s inch in diameter. A
dozen or two of each will not cost
very much and will prove useful in
very many cases.

There are many different st1es Of
screws with many types and sizes Of
threads. but here again the average
experimenter can pick out a few
sizes to cover the entire range OF
work which he win be called upon
to perform
The most common diameter sizes,
both for tho wood SCREWS and Tor the
machine screwS, are Nos. 4, 6, 8 and
10. In screw diameter sizes the larger
the number the larger the diameter
In this respect the method OF num-
bering differs from that used in num-
bering drills and wire sizes, where,
given to the smaller sizes.
In machine screws the most COM
mon thread siaes are 46 threads to
the inch and 81 threads to the inch.
In writing the size and thread of a
screw a fraction is used whose nu-
merator denotes the size and whose
denominator denotes the number of
threads to the inch. A 4-36 screw, for
instance, is one whose screw dame
ter number is 4 and which has So
threads to the inch.
The most common machine screw
sizes are 4-36, 6-32. 8-a2 and 1922
These sizes can be obtained at most
hardware stores.
Trouble Likely.
The lack Of the right size wood or
machine screw can cause as much
trouble as the proverbial missing
horseshoe nail which caused the loss
of battle. There is more fretting
and fuming and loss of time occa-
stoned by lack of the proper size
screw than by any other single cause
The cost of a good assortment of
screws is very small when the loss
of time which a missing screw can
cause is considered.
The number of screws of each type
with which the experime nter should
provide himself will depend, Of course,
on the amount of experimenting
which he expects to do.
1t is more desirable to use brass
screws than iron screws. SO that all
the sizes mentioned should be brass
screws. II a very fine job Is desired
the brass screws can be nickel-plated
by any local concern that does that
class of work. The cost of having
them nickei-plated is very small
Wood screws of sizes 4. and 8
should be obtained. The lengths of
inches. The size which will be used
most is the q Inch No. 6 screws.
All of these sizes should be Of the
round-head type, because fiat wood
screws are seldom if ever needed
In machine screws the most COM
