ALLEGE MONOPOLY
 IN OFFICE WARES
Govt. Moves Against Companies
 Accused as Trust

New York, Oct. 22.-tP)- An eff fort by six officials of the Rand KardeN Bureau. Inc, and the Globe Wernicke company 10 create a monopoly in office equipment is charged by the government in an equity action against an agreement which the officials believe Is legal.
 A complaint on file in federal court alleges that officials of five companies, including two Cincinnati banks, seek by interlocking director ates and stock transfers in violation of the Clayton Antitrust act, to ab- sorb the Globe Wernicke company of Cincinnati into the Rand KardeX Bureau, Delaware corporation.
 The three other companies named in the action are the Rand Cardex Company, Inc, and the Fourth and Central Trust companies of Cincin- nati. The banks are named as re- positories for stock being transfer red.
 Individuals named by United States Attorney Emory E. Buckncr in his complaint are James II. Rand, and Stanley NJ. Knapp, of Tonawan- da, N. T., James II. Rand, Jr., of Buffalo, and Henry c. Yieser, Henry c. Yieser, Jr., and E. z. Bagg of Cincinnati.
 The government demands that in terlocking directorates be dissolved and that an alleged agreement for transfer of the Globe WerniCke stock be terminated.
 James H. Rand, Jr., said in Buff falo that the action was directed particularly against an agreement for cquisition of the Globe Wernicke company five years from now through an exchange of stock.
 T am satisfied that we have vio- lated neither the spirit nor the let ter of the law" he said. "Other large corporations have been at-

MISSING MONEY IS
 YET ID BE FOUND
Pittsburgh Police Have No
 Trace of S52O,0OO

Pittsburgh, Oct. 22 Pl-sleuths were seeking today to uncover the hiding place believed to hold the S320,000 which disappeared with Charles E. Knapp last Friday de- spite Knapp's insistence, after 24 hours of steady grilling, that they money had been stolen from him by John Russe, a bond salesman, of Chicago, and two companions.
 A police dragnet was out for Rus SC. even while detectives were dig ging in the woods near a log cabin on Sugar Loaf mountain, 40 miles south of Pittsburgh, where Knapp and his wife were found Wednesday night.
 The s32O,oO0 given Knapp by R. A, McCrady, president of the closed Brotherhood Savings and Trust company, was to have paid for liberty bonds for which Knapp had negotiated with Russe, Knapp told detectives. Knapp today was under charges of larceny, conspiracy, en- beZzlement and fraudulent convcr- sion, and his wife was charged with being an accessory before and after

tackled on similar issues and the supreme court has never, to my knowledge, returned decision against the defendant corporation.
 Even if we assume a reversal. the most adverse result would be a decree directing the Rand Kardex Bureau to terminate control through the voting trust agreement of the Globe Wernicke company, which has not yet been included in the Rand Kardex Bureau. It will not in any way impede the operation or profit of the present companies"
 II. c. Yieser. Jr, vice president Of tie Globe Wernicke company. said in Cincinnati that his company was not involved in the action. He de- clared it was a matter between in dividual stockholders of the Globe Wernicke company who have con- tracted to sell their stock to the other company"
 The Rand KardeX companies grew from $20.000 company which James H. Rand founded in Tona- wanda, N. T.. in 1898, his son join ed the firm in 1908 but left it in 1915 to form another corporation which he built up to a capitaliza- ton of S1,300,O00 before combining it with his fathers corporation last year.
 The merged company absorbed the Library Bureau of Cambridge, Mass, a $4,00O,OOO corporation, and last December the agreement for ac- quisition of the Globe Wernicke company was made.

 The mayors proclamation fol- lows:
 National observance of Navy Day vii take place on Wednesday, Oc- tober 27. when the people of the United States will be welcomed aboard American naval vessels, wherever these ships may be laying at anchor.
 The birthday of the late Presi- dent Theodore Roosevelt occurs upon the same day and no more ap- propriate occasion could be chosen for the people of this nation to re- call the heroic service which Presi- dent Roosevelt and the American navy have rendered this country.
 The navy is the first line Of de- fense. Enrolled among the crews of American naval vessels now scatter ed throughout the ports of this country and other territorial posses sions as well as in horbors of foreign countries are New Britain youths, serving enlistments for Uncle Sam, ready for action in time of peace as well as in war.
 Tt is in keeping with this spirit of service that the people of this city join in the observance of Navy Day, and I urge upon everyone, that the American flag be flung to the breeZes next Wednesday, that eXer- cises be held in the schools appro- priate to the occasion, and that the entire community pay its mark of respect and appreciation to the men who are devoting themselves to their country's welfare.

QUESTION WATSON
 IN IND. HOSPITAL
Senate Committee Chairman
 Calls at Senator's Request

Indianap polls, Ind. Oct. 22 dR - A somewhat dramatic toucn was given to the senate investigation of the Indiana political situation with the arrival of the committee here today from Chicago to ques- tion Senator Watson, republican candidate for reelection next month, who is confined to hospl- tai by injuries received recently in an automobile accident.
 The visit of the committee, or rather of it's chairman, Senator James A. Reed, democrat, Mis- souri, was made primarily at the request of the senior Indiana sena- tor. who has termed as false and slanderous" charges made before the committee at Chicago that the Ku Klux Klan influenced him to support Senator Mayfield, democrat, Texas, in the contest for the Texas senate seat.
 Besides hearing Senator Watson the committee planned to question Senator Robinson, republican can- didate for reelection, who, 1t has been charged, also has the support of the KIan. and ". Lee Smith. grand dragon of the Indiana realm of that organization.
 Senator Reed is hopeful that he can conclude the inquiry tonight so he can be in Kansas City tomor- row.
 The last day of the committees session at Chicago brought addi- tional testimony as to Kan domi- nation in Indiana politics; an en- phatic statement from R. Earl Peters, chairman of the Indiana state democratic committee, that his organization has no a1iliation with or support from the Klan and iharges by Clyde Walb, chairman of the republican state committee,

should have their pessimism re- moved under surgeons knife" Ro- land declared, adding that the so- called wave of atheism did not start in the hearts of youth, but in the minds of 'baldheaded pessimists.
 "The great trouble with our age is not in our youth but in the fact that we are trying to dehumanize that youth. The greatest thing God ever made was a human being and we need to preach humanity instead of pessimism and reform"
 Bishop Dubose said he had heard youth slandered until he was tired of it.
 "Bobbed hair and the costumes of the day are unjustly condemned" he asserted. 'Rnth are sensible and wholesome to the pn,-lcal woman. Her dress is an evangel of moral sensibility."

that the state was being flooded" with propaganda for the world court and the league of nations.
 Peters said he knew nothing Of wide dissemination of such propa- ganda adverting to Walb's charges that international bankers" were sending money into every precinct in Indiana to oppose Watson and Robinson. The democratic chairman testified that he knew nothing of this and that his committee had received TO money outside of the state except $10.0O from the demo- cratic national committee at Wash ington.
 One time political influence Of D. c. Stephenson, former grand dragon Of the Indiana Kan, who now IS serving a life sentence for murder, was touched upon by Rob- ert r. Mckay, of Indianapolis, former grand titan of the Kan, and Burt Morgan, also Of this city,, a former prohibition enforcement Of ficer.
 Mckay declared that Stephenson had had very extensive influence, while Morgan said he always thought" there was some connec- tion between his action in causing the apprehension of Stephenson after his indictment and a request for his resignation as prohibition officer.
 Morgan testified that he had his agents watch the Stephenson es- tate because of complaints that boys and girls were being taken there and made drunk at "booze parties" He added that this was how he knew of Stephenson's plan to leave town after he had been indicted.
 Additional statements to alleged friendly relations between Senator Watson and officers of the Klan were given by Walter F. Bossert, former Indiana grand dragon, and Frank W. Lyons, who was his sec- retary.
 Bossert told of introducing to Watson William r. Zumbrunn counsel for the Klan, while Lyons said he took Dr. Hiram w. Evans, imperial wizard of the national Klan, to the senator's office in Sep 1 tember, 1925.
