BOND ISSUE IS
COOLIDGE PLAN
President Would Borrow
Money for Buildings.
BIZ Tnited Press

BU United Press
SWANTPSCOTT, Mass, Aug. IL
President Coolidge is seriously con-
sidering a government bond issue for
the purpose of constructing much
needed feGeral buildings in Washing
ton and all parts of the country.
The government is now spending
between s2O.OoO.OOO and $25,000,000
annually for rented and loaded build
ings.
This amount would pay the inter
est on a bond issue of nearly half
billion dollars with which the
government could be furnished
adequately with modern housing
facilities.
The plan may have placed before
congress next winter for n bond
issue of an amount smaller than
this. The same amount now spent
for buildings would suffice both for
the interest on the borrowed money
and to repay the principal. ..

With more than a dozen retail

Indianapolis, started by Sol Meyer,
president Of the Meyer-Kiser Bank,
prospects for raising the total to-
day We're regarded as bright. Meyer
subscribed $4,000 to the fund.
Doubt exists as to whether the In

will be utilized as machinery for

failed to accept an invitation to meet
with the Chamber Friday to discuss
the fund
Want Other Organization
Most of the persons who called
on me were of the opinion that the
fund should be raised and admins
tered by an organization outside the
Chamber of Commerce" Meyer said.
Offer to cooperate in the fund was
received by John B. Reynolds,
Chamber of Commerce secretary,
from Raymond P. Van Camp, presi-
dent of the Van Camp Hardware &

Favored by Banker
II am in favor of any reasonable
plan to induce factory owners to
come to Indianapolis, said Elmer

Cooperation in raising the fund
was offered by Frank D. Stalnaker,
president Of the Indiana National
Bank, but he also suggested that
efforts be made to retain the
factories now located in Indianapolis.
He pointed out that large sums Of
money have been lost through in
vestment in factories which have
been unwisely managed.
'I'd rather not comment upon it."

Petition to Be Presented
Asking President to
Sign Pardon.

James W. Noel, attorney for
former Governor Warren T.
McCray; William P. Evans,
McCray's son-in-law, and other
relatives and friends of the
former executive, were in
Washington today to carry out
plans to secure a pardon for
McCray from the Federal peni-
tentiary at Atlanta, Ga.
A petition asking the pardon is
to be presented to the Department
Of Justice, Wednesday, it is said.
The petition is said to include the
names Of former Governors Of Irs
diana and Indiana bankers.
In Prison Year
McCray has been in the Atlantic
prison since May l, 1924. He was
sentenced to serve a ten-year term
on a charge of using the mails to de-
fraud by Federal Judge A. B. An
derson.
The pardon ordinarily would be
granted by the President provided he
approves the recommendation made
by the Department Of Justice
through the attorney-general.
1t is the regular practice Of the
department not to consider applica,
tions for pardon until one-third of
the term has been served, but an
exception might be made.
1t is understood the usual proceed
ure calls for a recommendation by
the attorney who prosecuted the
prisoner and the judge who SEN
fenced him.
In McCray's case this would en-
tail the approval of Homer Elliott,
former United States District At
torney, and Judge Anderson, now of
the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals, of Chicago.
Elliott Silent
Elliott refused to make any state
ment as to his actions If he were
called on for a recommendation, that
McCray be pardoned. 1t is under
stood. however, that Elliott is in
clined to look with disfavor upon
such movement.
An indictment against McCray is
still pending in Federal Court. charg-
ing violation of the national bank
ing law through McCray's connec-
tions with the Discount and Deposit
State Bank of Kentland, Ind.
The indictment included Amos
Morris, cashier Of the bank, who
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
two years at Atlanta. The indict-
ment included counts charging the
making of false entries and false
reports.
Ordinarily the indictment would
have to be dismissed before a pardon
could be granted
Many Aid
Among those who are said to have
written letters on behalf of McCray
are Governors Brandon, Alabama;
Walker, Georgia.; Fields, Kentucky;
Len Small of Illinois. and Peay,
Tennessee, Senator Kend'ick Of
Wyoming, fifty live stock dealers Of
Chicago, and ministers of Kentland,
Ind, McCray's former home.
Frank o. Lowden, former Cover
nor of Illinois, is said to have writ
ten a letter in McCray's behalf.
Mayor Lew Shank wrote President
Coolidge Monday, stating that he
did not believe McCray understood
exactly what he was doing and that
he had been punished enough.

Scott Divorce Duel Reveals
Congressional Booze
Smuggling.
By Ozark 3. KELSEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
ALPENA, Mich, Aug. 11.-Reve-
lations Of alleged wholesale liquor
smuggling by a group of Congress
men on a junket to Panama at Gov
ernment expense were to reopen the
divorce duel of Congressman Frank
D. Scott and his wife, Mrs. Edna
James Scott, here today.
A deposition by Ploren Dalaw,
Filipino servant of the SCOTS, who
was formerly head waiter on the
naval transport Crystobai, was in
Mrs. Scott's possession, and was to
be used as her first weapon in coun-
ter-charges against her Congress
man husband, the United Press
learned.
Allegations Sensational
Scott sued his wife for divorce on
grounds Of indiscretions with Army
aviators and Mrs. Scott countered
with a cross bill, charging her hus
band was cruel to her-not to men,
ton his alleged gin orgies" The
case was adjourned last winter after
considerable startling evidence had
been introduced in order that both
sides might accumulate depositions
and affidavits to bolster their cases.
Dalaw's deposition, according to
Mrs. Scott's attorney, Ward H. Peck,
describes discovery of Scott and his
secretary, Miss Jane Kennedy, alone
in the Congressman's office early
one morning after Scott had failed
to appear at his home during the
night.
Mrs. Scott May Testify
Peck said he had nine dispositions
to offer for Mrs. Scott, in addition
20 that Of Dalaw.
Mrs. Scott may take the witness
stand herself tomorrow. If she does
she will testify that her husband
sold furniture which she had pur-
chased with her household savings
and used the money to pay gambling
debts. She said she would stop at
nothing in her effort to win the case.

New Britain herald., 1925-11-09

He and l were brought up like brother and sister. and l loved him IS a dear brother although the couslnship was twice removed. I looked upon him as a brother un- til a memorable letter to me shortly after my marriage, told me that for years he had loved me and hoped 10 make me his wife.
 I never shall forget the unhap- piness which the discovery Of Jacks feeling caused me. nor the poignancy Of my remorse when he sailed to France to enter the serv- ice of that country in the World war. That he found complete heal ing Of his fancied heart wound in his love for Katherine sinnot did not wholly free me from the feel ing that I had been in some way responsible for the marring of his life as & result Of the terrible wounds received while in the French service. He was a physical and nervous wreck for long time. and to my thinking he never has achieved complete normality, even though he has come back to phy- sical strength and mental vigor and has resumed his arduous work as a civil engineer.
 But he Is my brother-cousin still, with a thousand memories of my childhood and his goodness to my little mother clustering around him. Suddenly l felt a fercely pos sessive urge to protect him, What ever I might believe, In my soul, concerning Katherine's marital happiness, I would not betray 1t 10 this brilliant favored son of for tune.
 But the consciousness that my long silence robbed any champion ship Of Jack of its effectiveness, made my answer halting and puer- ile.

"She very seldom betrays her lfdl lttllllSS GOlItI llli9 ally Luill6' As far as my knowledge goes, her marriage Is d happy one. But what ever my conviction, I certainly should not be justified in giving you either an affirmative or neg atiye answer to your question"
 With your zeal for champion ing things as they should be, you would have given me an enthusi- astic and prompt answer in the af- hrmatiye if your conscience had permitted you to do so," he an- swered coolly, and stung by his as- surance, l turned abruptly toward him.
 What would t avail you if your belief that Katherine is unhappy were confrmed'" l asked.
 Tt would mean that ] should promptly engineer two trips to Reno" he answered.
