GRAND Jury HEARS
DC. STEPHENSON
Former Klan Leader Leaves
Prison to Testify on
Graft Charges.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, October 13.
d. G. Stephenson, storm center of
charges OF political corruption in Indi-
ana, was taken before the Marion
County grand jury this morning.
Stephenson, central figure in charg
es of political corruption made by
Thomas Adams, publisher of the Vim
cennes Commercial arrived here at
S:35 o'clock this morning. Accompan-
led by Clifford Craig. chief clerk of
the Michigan City State prison, where
Stephenson is serving a life sentence,
and seven guards. Stephenson entered
the back gate of the Marion County
9ail
The former klan dragon and re-
puted one-time dictator of Indiana
politics, wore a cap and overcoat and
other civilian garments. He was
smoking a cigar as he entered the
Jail He was not handcuffed.
Started at 3 O'clock.
The party. travelling in two auto
mobiles, left Michigan City about 3
o'clock this morning.
Stephenson'S anxiety to tell his tale
has been prompted, Adams has de-
clared, by dissatisfaction with steps
taken to file an appeal from the life
sentence imposed last November upon
Stephenson when he was convicted Of
numbering Madge Oberholtzer. A pos
sibility that concern over his plight
has been removed was seen last night
when John Il. Kiplinger, Rushville,
Ind, attorney, who was OF counsel
for the defense in the murder case,
returned from the State prison at
Michigan City, where he had conferred
with Stephenson and announced that
the appeal would be filed soon. The
time for filing the appeal expires De-
cember IA.
Charges Political Plot.
Adams spent two hours and fifteen
minutes before the grand jury yester-
day afternoon. Earl Klenck of Evans
vile and Court Asher of Muncie were
the next two witnesses on the list OF
Prosecutor Will II. Remy and are to
be called today. Both are former
lieute1ants of Stephenson.
Clyde Walb, State Republican chair
man in a letter last night to Senator
Borah, Republican. of Idaho, attributed
Adams charges to an attempt by in
ternational bankers to defeat United
States Senators Watson and Robinson
in their campaign for reelection in
November because of their votes
against the World Court.

Assistant Secretary of the Treas

furniture and rugs in his office, has
fallen a victim of the Coolidge econ

Gen. Andrews requisition for some
attractive new mahogany pieces to
match his present suite. now being
removed to the generals new rooms
in the Treasury Building, has been
turned down fat by the Governments

today. and Gen. Andrews, who comes

Andrews Refused Mahogany Furniture
Bv Gen. Lord in Interests of Economy

The general, it is understood, has
appealed from the decision of the CO.
ordinator to Gen. Lord, director of
the budget, himself. Besides, Con.
troller General McCarl had lots of
mahogany furniture when he occupied
the rooms just taken over by Gen.
Andrews, and the new occupant
thinks he is just as much entitled to
the better sort of equipment as Mr..
McCarl.
Gen. Lord, however. is not likely
to prove very sympathetic to Gen.
Andrews request. judging by the ex-
ample set by the budget director when
he moved recently into his own new
offices on the opposite side of the
Treasury Building. He now uses q
battle-scarred desk Of oak, in com.
mon with every one else in his divi.

death OF SOLDIER
VIRTUALLY SOLVED
Army Officers Keep Findings
Secret, However, Pending
New Developments.

The mystery surrounding the death
of Pvt. Edgar Miller, Fort Myer cav
alryman, whose body. with a bullet
wound through the head, was found in
Arlington Cemetery a week ago to-
day, Is virtually solved and investi-
eating officers are awaiting develop
ments in the case as it now stands be-
fore announcing their findings.
Officers working on the case were
reluctant to make a positive state
ment that by Friday morning the
mystery will be cleared up because Of
a vague possibility that something
present case to blow up and neces-
state an entirely new investigation.
Because Of this possible condition aris-
ing, the investigators do not wish to
divulge their findings now.
Neither would they indicate whether
their verdict will be suicide or mur-
der and efforts to develop which
trend the case is taking were fruit
less.
Suicide Theory Strengthened.
One feature today, however,
strengthened the suicide theory, and
that was the report of the autopsy
which included photographs of the
dead soldier, showing where a bullet
photographs showed clearly that the
bullet struck him directly in the CEN
ter of the forehead and travelling on
horizontal line passed out of the
head.
Last night, Earl V. Betty, self-styled
evangelist who had been held for
questioning in the Arlington County
jail since Sunday afternoon, was re-
leased in Washington where he had
been taken late yesterday to check
up on some articles he said he sold
and which were thought to have q
connection in the case.
To Be Held Available.
The investigators found that Betty
could not assist them materially with
the case and he was given his free
dom. He will be available, however,
for further investigation should it be
desired.
The military board appointed to in
vestigate the death of Miller probably
will make it's report this afternoon or
tomorrow, but the plan for this is
dependent upon what facts, If any,
develop in the Department of Justice
angle. The report may be prepared
this afternoon, but Capt. Albert
Bowen, president of the board, could
not promise definitely when it would
be submitted to the post commander
or what the boards conclusions would
be. He did intimate, however, that
the fact Miller was off the reservation
at pm. and had in his possession a
pistol which he had stolen would un-
doubtedly preclude a possibility of the
boards finding that he died in line of
duty.

Cause of liohtnino

The latest accepted theory about
the cause Of lightning is based on
experiments conducted in India by
DR.. George G. Simpson.
Simpsons explanation starts with
the fact, previously determined by
laboratory experiments. that when
drops OF water are broken up there
is separation oil negative and posi-
tive electricity. This process occurs
on a large scale in thunderstorms
where the falling raindrops are brok
en- before they reach the earth by
the powerful uprushes of air that
occur in such storms.
Positive electricity is carried alofi
by the rising air and eventually gives
a strong negative charge to the high
er parts of the clouds The tive
kinds of electricity have tendency
to reunite ami neutralize each other
but they are kept from doing so by
the air, which is a bad conductor
However. when the opposite charges
are strong enough they suddenly
break a path through the air and
