STATE STRIKES BACK L

tion of Girl 'Crux Of Whole
Murder Case.
.Iail or hail2

This is the question, D. c.
Stephenson, Earl Klinck and
Earl Gentry, charged with
murder Of Miss Madge Ober-
holtzer, confined in the Hamil-
ton County Jail at Noblesville,
are waiting for Judge Fred
E. Hines of Hamilton Circuit
Court to decide.
Freedom for the defendants pend
ing trial of the case or continua-
tion Of Jail life which began with
their arrest just two months ago to-
day, depends upon the ruling Judge
Hines will make Thursday on the
motion Of defense attorneys to ad-
NIT the defendants to bail
Judge Hines took the case under
advisement late Friday, after four
days of hearing Of evidence and ar
gument on the motion.
Attorneys Contend
?. Contentious of Eph Inman, Floyd
~. Christian, and Ira M. Holmes, de-
Tense attorneys, In their arguments
were taken as an indication Of the
line Of defense to be set up should
the case go to trial before a jury.
They fought the competency of Miss
Oberholtzer's dying statement, and
insisted her death was purely a case
Of suicide.
They argued this last point at
length, insisting that Miss Oberholt-
zer was a free agent when she OBJ
tanned and took mercuric poison at
the Indiana Hotel at Hammond,
March 16, that she kept her deed a,
secret for more than six hours, a
length Of time defense lawyers said
which made medical aid of no avail.
State Strikes Back
The State struck back with the
argument that Miss Oebrholtezr's act
was the direct result of mistreat-
ment by the defendants and Of re-.
sllting humiliation and disgrace.
During his argument on behalf
of the State Charles e. Cox said,
referring to Stephenson, "if this
man had harmed a daughter Of
mine, no man-made law would pre-
vent me from taking his life"
This remark drew a reprimand
from Judge Hines Immediately after
The noon recess. Judge Hines said
he could not permit the remark to
pass unchalleneged, that such re-
marks have tendency to breed con-
tempt Of the law and said he would
give Cox an opportunity to with
draw the statement. Immediately
'Hox arose and said:
Criticism Conceded
Il concede the courts criticism Is
Just. l said I doubted whether the
statement should be made, but this
crime Is so unusual that no man
with red blood in his veins can do
otherwise than denourcs the perpe-
traitors, particularly when one OF
the men has asserted, I am the
law"

Board of Works Plan to
Keep Oriental st. Open
Despite Elevation.

The Indianapolis Chamber of
Commerce today continued the
battle it started in September,
1924, to save the large Ford as
sembly plant for Indianapolis.
Withdrawal of the industry, To-
Gated at 1915 E. Washington ST., is
probable with the beginning Of ele-
walton of Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks. unless the board Of works
reverses it's declaration that Oriental
st. shall remain open. The Ford
Company has requested that the
street be closed because it's desires
to maintain assembly Of the cars
on the first floor. A switch gradual
ly descending from the elevated level
to the plant is planned. This would
necessitate closing Oriental St.
Indianapolis is in no condition
industrially to drive away it's most
successful industries at this time"
said John B. Reynolds. Chamber Of
Commerce, secretary. "The action
OF the board of works in refusing
permission to close this street is
wrong.
G. of G. Aided
During the public hearing on this
movement several months ago. the
Chamber of Commerce fought to
save this vital industry. We pointed
out that Oriental st. is only twenty
feet wide, merely an alley, and that
thousands of Indianapolis persons
would suffer to satisfy the desires
of only handful OF people living in
two hundred yards the thoroughfare
extends south of the tracks"
Reynolds quoted from information
provided by the Ford Company to
show the value of the industry TO

pany did a total volume of business

RADIO FANS ASKED
TO AID POWER TEST
Hoover Appeals to All to
LiSten-In on WGY
Experiment.
Rv Consolidated Press.

BY Consolidated Press.
The first radio problem on which
the listeners of the United States
have been definitely asked TO sit as
a jury Is that of superpower, and the
response to this request may largely
determine the methods which the De-
partment of Commerce will employ in
the future to settle other questions
and carry out other experiments with
regard to broadcaSting.
The decision TO hold a referendum
on superpower constituted one Of
the first official acts of Secretary of
Commerce Hoover on his return from
California. An official bulletin before
the department today requests every
listener in the country to listen in for
signals to be tranmitted by WGY,
Schenectady, on the evenings of Au-
gust %, PA and %, and to report their
findings to the department.
In order that comparison may
be made between a program broad
cast on 1000 watts and one on power
% times as great WGY will alternate
it's transmtters, using first its 2-kilo-
watt apparatus and then, after an an
nouncement, switch to its newly con
structed 50-kilowatt transmitter.
The department seeks information
particularly as to the degree to which
broadcast, the comparison in the
| sharpness of tuning the two degrees
of power, the comparative ability of
| the two transmitterS to overcome
static and the amount of increased
! volumn obtained through the vastly
increa sed power. Other data which is
requested is the location of the
listener, the type of receiver used and
comments and suggestions on the re-
ception conditions.
Since WGY first tested a 50-kilo.
watt transmitter for broadcasting two
weeks ago, several changes have been
made in the apparatus by means of
which it is hoped TO obtain better
modulation and greater distance. 1t
is also possible that a different an
tenna from that used in the first ex-
periments may be used this week
In addition 10 the thousands of re-
plies that the Department of Com
merce hopes to receive from listeners,
every radio supervisor has been order
ed TO tune in on the WGY programs
and to make full and detailed report
of the reception on the test nights 1t
is believed by officials OF the radio sec
ton of the department that the re
ports made from all sources will fur
nish the greatest amount of data ever
collected on any one experiment.
Immediately following the third
test broadcast this data and informa-
ton will be compiled for use in pre-
pairing recommendations to be present
ed at the Fall radio conference.
The first broadcasts on so kilowatts
conducted by WGY satisfied engineers
of the General Electric Company that
superpower would not in any way
create interference with other stations
broadcasting on wave lengths close TO
those used by the super.
