CIRCUIT COURTROOM,
NOBLESVILLE, Ind, Oct. 20.
With six days Of questioning
behind them, attorneys at
tempting to get a jury here for
the trial of d. G. Stephenson,
Earl Klinck and Earl Gentry,
on charges of numbering Miss
Madge Oberholtzer, Indianapo-
lis, believed today they had OBJ
tanned six of the necessary
twelve men.
Efforts to find six other Jurors,
dragged wearily and monotonously
along, before a small crowd. Just
before court recessed for noon, there
were but twenty-siX spectators pres
ent. These included five women,
one of whom was asleep; three men,
who were asleep; George Oberholt-
Zer, father of the victim, who sits
listlessly in a corner, waiting the
day when the actual trial shall start,
and Marshall Oberholtzer. his son.
The six men who have been passed
back and forth by both sides are
Thomas Millikan, Jacob Dawson,
Stephen Males. Grant Carey, Lotus
Spaugh and w. o. Inman. all farm
ers.
The defense turned the jury over
to the State for more examination
shortly after IL.
First move Of Ralph Kane, special
prosecutor, was to ask the excusal
of William Richwine who earlier
had said he was opposed to capital
punishment or most any kind Of
punishment.
The State also challenged Clifton
II. Johnson, farmer, for cause, when
he said he had an opinion. Johnson
named George V. Coffin, Republican
city chairman Of Indianapolis, as one
Of his acquaintances. Frank Klingen-
smith. a farmer, replaced Johnson.
With the calling OF Klingen-
smith, only thirty-nino of the sec
ond venire remained unexamined.
Klingensmith also was the 129th
talesman to be quizzed. A third We
nire as a result is almost sure to be
called.
At the opening OF the afternoon
session the personnel OF the jury
besides the six regarded as qualified
included John Hall, a farmer; c. II.
Johnson, farmer; Frank Reinier
president OF New Process Iron and
Steel Company; Frank Wyant, paint
er and decorator, and Merle b, Lam
bert, Sheridan, an insurance agent.
Reinier and Wyant are from No

Daughter.

BIZ United Press
1ERLIN, Oct. 20.-Twenty
III years after the discovery Of
III massive tablets on the ST.
mai Peninsula, comes now a Ger
man psychologist, Professor
Grimme, with a claim that the
stones contain a message Of thanks
from Moses to Pharaoh's daughter,
who found him in the bulrushes.
German scientists declare Pro-
fessor Grimme's achievement in
deciphering what proved to be an
cient Hebrew on the tablets, dis
pels doubt regarding the historic
origin of the Ten Commandments
and is one Of the most important
developments in many thousands
of years of Bible research.
The tablets in question were
found on what is believed to be
the original Mount Sinai by Film
ders Petri. an English archaeolo-
gist, in 1905. They were too heavy
to move, so he photographed them,
took wax impressions Of the in
scriptions and then buried them.
Professor Grimme is the first to
solve their mysteries.

PARIS, Oct. 20.-The League
of Nations is expected to call
a disarmament conference fol-
lowing the signing Of the Lo-
carno security pact, guaran-
teeing peace along the historic
Rhine war zone, and pledging
France, Germany and Belgium
to arbitration of any differences
which may arise.
1t was announced at the French
foreign Office today that an invita-
ton to such a conference Is expected
from the league rather than from
Washington. The league is under
stood to have everything in readi-
ness to distribute it's invitations the
minute Germany becomes a member
Austin Chamberlain, British for
eign secretary, passing through
Paris on his way home from Lo-
carno said a disarmament conference
logically follows signing Of the pact.
He said he believed the league would
not restrict it's invitations to mem
ber nations only.
The French papers say France
would prefer to accept League in
vitation rather than one from Presi-
dent Coolidge, because the armed
backing of the League is held more
substantial than the moral support
Of the United States.
LIE Peuple says editorially:
"Those nations which sought to
re-establish European peace at
Locarno have no desire to take
again the road to Washington. Dis.
armament of Europe is a European
problem which should be settled at
Geneva.
IF Geneva and Washington both
issue invitations, we had better de-
cline Americas, for the League Of
fers superior guarantees"

desire a straight out tax exemption

Mellon. other Republican and

Briefly, the Mellon plan for in

The rate would be reduced from
2 per cent to per cent on incomes
of less than $4,000; from 4 per cent
to 8 per cent on the next $4,000 and

 General Lewis said preliminary survey led him to believe the sen. sencss s'ere excessive. Proceedings oi the courtmartial, he said, have not yet been reviewed by the division judge advocate.
 The charges against Crouch, be- sides those of communistic activity, that he stated in the presence of oth- CT soldiers that he favored the over- throw of the government by revo- lutionary means, if necessary. Trum- bull was not charged with thus ad- rocating an overthrow of the gov ernment but specifications against him included disrespectful language towards the flag and the president.
