CHANCE IN PARKING ON WEST MAIN ST.
More Time Allowed on Con-
 plaint Of Business Men

A change in the parking ordinance to meet the requests Of merchants and property owners on West Main street, will be recommended to the common council at the next meet ing, according to unanimous vote of the ordinance committee last night. The present restriction of five min utes on the north side Of the street from Washington street to a point 50 feet east of High street does not allow customers of stores time to do business, Chief Hart of the police department reported, and on his recommendation. the limit will be increased to 30 minutes, as 1t was formerly. If the council approves.
 Claude J. Leroux advisory mem Der Of the committee in the matter of the proposed new plumbing code. told the committee he can prepare the code within one week, but he has been unable to confer with Architect Earle K. Bishop sufficient ly long to put the details into pro- per shape. He also questioned his own authority In the matter, but on assurance that in view of his ap- pointment by the mayor, he would be well within his rights in prepar- ing the code, he said he would do so, with the assistance of Mir. Bishop and the corporation counsel, and have it ready for the committee In time to report it to the council at the meeting In November.
 Councilman Bartlett remarked. during the discussion. that MT. Bishops contract with the city did not obligate him to prepare the electrical and plumbing code and therefore the criticism that has been directed at him Is uncalled for. Alderman Nair, one Of Mir. Bishops critics replied that the latter should either do the work or say he would not do 1t, and then the committee would know his position and arrange to have 1t done by someone else. Councilman Bartlett agreed with the alderman in this respect and added that Mir. Bishop was incorporate in his remarks at the building com mission meeting recently. AS a matter of fact, Councilman Bartlett said, the present code can be print ed and no changes made In 1t, but the committee felt 1t advisable to bave a new code and Mir. Leroux'S agreement to go to work will end the delay, 1t Is expected.
 Secretary Thomas Linder Of the board of adjustment explained the recommended change In the zonins ordinance relative to rear yard depths and 1t was voted to rec ommend It's adoption.
 The necessary changes in the building ordinance to cover the is- suance of permits for oil burners will be recommended to the council

MYSTERY MAN IN
 MCPHERSON CASE
"John Doe" Martin Mentioned in
 Alleged Conspiracy

Los Angeles, Oct F Pt-The foot prints of John Doe" Martin across the path of Aimee Semple McPher- son today presented an elusive trail for district attorneys investigators seeking a heretofore unidentified but important principal in the alleged kidnapping conspiracy.
 The blanket complaint, which forms the basis for the conspiracy charges. names for outher defend ants, one of whom is John Doe" The identity of the anonymous con- spirator was hinted at during the ex- animation. of Mrs. Lorraine Wise man who had been called as a states witness.
 Mrs. Wiseman, who accused Mrs. schooled her in a plot to refuse in situations that the Evangelist so- journed at armel-By-the-Sea with Kenneth G. Ormiston, missing radio man. testified that she was first ap- preached by MT. Martin"
 .. Pherson's defense counsel objected to the mention of MT Martin" on the ground that no foundation had been laid to establish Martin as co-conspirator.
 "John Doe" Martins footprints are in this case somewhere" Reyes re- piled. and If we don't prove it I will be willing for this testimony to be stricken from the records"
 The witness was permitted to tell of her meeting with Martin, who she said was a stranger. She declared he approached her in San Francis co hotel lobby last July and asked her to aid in clearing Mrs. McPher- son of this scandal at Carmel" She then testified that It was at Martins suggestion that she came to Los Angeles and entered into the alleged conspiracy with Mrs. McPherson and her mother to produce the little lady, who was to pose as Ormiston's companion at Carmel.
 Furthermore refutation of the states charge that Mrs. McPherson visited several Arizona points during the time she declares she was held in Mexico by kidnappers, developed last night when Mrs. Alex Pearson of Tucson, Ariz., issued a statement denying the Evangelist filed mys- tsrious message from Gila Bend, Arizona, June 15. Mrs. Pearson said the message was sent to her by Mrs. Gay Coontz, a friend of Mrs. McPherson, who was en route to Tucson to visit at the Pearson home.
 Reyes has summoned witnesses from Gila Bend who have identified Mrs. McPherson as the woman who filed telegram stating her automo- bile had broken down and that she was proceeding by train to Douglas,

 Ladders run up from the "cat walk to hatches in the side and from there the mechanics travel back and forth between the ship . and their tiny suspended cabins on short duralumin ladders running directly over nothing at all except the far distant earth.
 Amidships are the durammin hunks for the crew and tables ! where they may read, eat or play cards while off duty. Still further aft the walk drops into the tail Of the ship, where cables crcak as the men in the cabin twist their wheels and shift thcir levers. At the forward cabin, the "cat walk" jumps upward and continues for ward over its top, slantlng upward 10 the nose.

SCANDAL UP TO GRAND JURY
Charges Made by Newspaper
 Publisher Given Attention

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 12 P - The political corruption charges made by Thomas H. Adams, pub fisher of the Vincennes Commer- cial, today had reached an official Investigating body - the Marion county grand jury.
 There apparently was a disposi- ton on the part of Adams and those who have been associated with him in the demand for 8 probe of Indiana political affairs to accept the grand jury as the most fair tribunal before which a hearing can be had at this time. Adams reiterated, however. that he | ton would be of greater scope and more likely to unearth the whole mass of corruption than he insists exists.
 The grand jury investigation was ordered yesterday by James A.. Collins, judge of the criminal court, l upon suggestion of Attorney Gen. eral Arthur Gilliom. First wit nesses were to be called today. An order was issued to the state prison warden at Michigan City to pro- duce in court. at 10 a. m. next Thursday, D. c. Stephenson, former | grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan. who has given assurances. Adams says, that he will relate a full story of the alleged corruption. Stephen son is serving life sentence for | the murder of Madge Oberholtzer.
 Investigation by the United States senate of the Indiana situa- tion was requested by Adams in a message yesterday to Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho, who | had requested information for Adams as to the operation of the Klan in Indiana.
