have the backing of such men as
Julius Rosenwald. millionaire Chicago
merchant; Harold l.. Ickes and others.
Il told O'Brien that we were for
Col. Frank l.. Smith," DIR. Stafford
said. Il added that as far as running
an Independent candidate. the Anti
Saloon League could not join.
"O'Brien said influences at Wash
ington were at work to remove Col.
Frank l.. Smith"
What were these infuences?" ask
ed Senator Reed, Democrat. Missouri,
chairman of the committee.
"Some sort of appointment to be

with that. O'Brien banged the
table with his fist and said, We have
got the money and we propose to
spend it I said to him. You are not
a bit better than the fellows you are
criticizing."
DR. Stafford said he pointed out that
no such sum could be spent legally.
"He replied that there were some
holes lin the law through which we
can get Stafford went on. II said,
Mr.. O'Brien. you are unworthy to
support Magill.'
"Dr. Mcbride said. You know YOU

Dr. Stafford referred to large ex

IF these expenditures were moral

asked.
Because the Anti-Saloon League be-

GIRL GETS PAPERS
FOR INDIANA PROBE
Former Dragons Confidante
Gives Documents From

BY the Associated Press.


INDIANAPOLIS, October 1S.-
Papers and documents obtained from
safety deposit box in local bank
were laid before the Marion County
grand jury today by Miss Mildred
Meade, 23-year-old confidante of ID. G..
Stephenson. former Indiana Ku Klux
klan grand dragon.
Miss Meade is regarded by investi-
gators of the charges of conspiracy
between Stephenson and State officials,
as q 'ssiseywftness and~it fs believed
her information will have an import
ant bearing on allegations made by
Thomas II. Adams, publisher of the
Vincennes Commercial and other
members of the Indiana Republican
editorial association.
Shortly after Miss Meade appeared
before the grand jury she went with
William II. Remy, prosecuting attor-
ney, to an Indianapolis bank, procured
papers from a safety deposit box and
returned to the investigating chamber

Miss Meade had been summoned to

jury room has been desired for sew
eral days, but authorities failed to To-
cate her until late yesterday, when she
was found at her home. Her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Meade, said she
had been missing since October s. Au.
thorities produced her under $4,000
bond as material witness.
Adams, who with several other pub
fishers, made the first sweeping
charges of political corruption. plan
ned to renew his activities today.
Adams in a series of statements has
declared that he wants broader in
vestigation than that being conducted
before the grand jury by Prosecuting
Attorney Remy, whose jurisdiction
the publisher contends, is limited.
Attorney Charges Tricks.
Adams insists that publicity will be
a potent force in exposing the cor
ruption that he alleges has existed in
State politics.
Stephenson, who is now serving a
life sentence for the murder of Madge
Oberholtzer, is said to have recently
given authority to Thomas V. Miller,
Muncie, Ind, attorney, to obtain pos
session of certain documents which
Adams declared would corroborate his
charges. Miller has said this author
ity, contained in a written note. was
obtained from him by a ruse perpe-
trated by Miss Meade.
The former klan leader has been
represented by Adams as anxious to
give evidence to support the COrrup-
ton charges in order to avenge him
self on persons who he considers failed

for numbering Miss OberhOltzer.
In addition to Miss Meade, officials
summoned John 2. kiplinger of Rush

come before the grand jury today.

ined when the grand jury first met last
Tuesday, but he is wanted for further

SCHOOL HOUR VOTE
WILL GUIDE BOARD
Members Ask Summary OF
Star Poll for Consider
alton at Meeting.

Eyidencing keen interest in the
progress of The Evening Stars poll
which has for it's object a solution OF
the traffic peril as it affects the $1,000
school children of the city, school otfl-
cials today requested that an official
summary Of all ballots cast be sub
mitted to the Board of Education at
it's meeting on Wednesday.
While the votes cast today show
that so per cent favor change In
the opening hour to $3.50 and 40 per
cent oppose any change whatever. the
ballot total to date indicates that ap-
proximately so per cent favor either
an earlier or later opening hour, while
less than 90 per cent prefer that the
8 o'clock hour stand.
Sees No Need of Change.
Unqualified objection over the
change of the opening school hour
either to S: 80 or 9:30 is voiced by Mrs.
Basil NJ Manly. president OF the
Powell Junior High School Parent
Teachers Association, in letter ac-
companying her ballot, which was re-
ceved today Mrs. Manly states:
There is not an hour between and
IL o'clock when the main highways
are safe for small children to cross
unattended.
II cannot see that the situation
will be at all helped by either earlier
or later opening of the school Ses-
sions.
Those who are not obliged to be
in office at 9 wait until the rush is
over, consequently there is rush up
to IL o'clock. Moreover many office
going fathers take the children to
school on their way downtown. A
change in the hours would work a
real hardship on families where such
is the custom.
1T seems to me the only solution
is adequate police protection at school
crossings at the times of day that
children, are going to and coming
from school,
Surely the children of the District
Of Columbia are sufficiently important
that they are entitled to all protection
necessary for their safe attendance
at school,"
Officials Openminded.
While school officials are maintain.
ing an open mind on the change of the
opening school hour pending the study
OF the ballots and arguments submit
ted by parents in The Evening Stars
poll, it was indicated at the Franklin
ScnOOl tOudy tndL some or them favor
change In the opening hour at Ger
tain schools, but not as a blanket or.
der all over the city.
1t was pointed out today that there
are more than 5000 pupils on part
time in the public schools. and that a.
$3.50 opening would compel the after
noon shift to sit until o'clock. This
is considered highly undesirable. mas
much as during the short Winter DAYS
1t is dark at 4:30, and some Of the
schools as yet are not equipped with
electric lights.

views on this important question
