Dismissal Daugherty
jury Raises Question
O" Another Trial

New York, Oct. 12-tP)-The dis
agreement and dismissal of the jury
in the case against Harry NJ. Daugh-
erty and Thomas w. Miller raises the
question whether they will be tried
a second time. United States Attor-
ney Buckner. who prosecuted the
case, has not decided what his next
move will be.
I'll not be able to tell for a month
at least. whether I'll bring them to
trial again or not he said.
The jury after hearing evidence
for five weeks debated Its verdict for
65 hours and forty minutes before the
court accepted a report of disagree
ment That is a record for Federal
courts in this district. The final vote
was to 5 for conviction of Daugh-
erty and 10 to two for conviction of
Miller.
The indictments against the former
attorney general and the former allen
property custodian, charge them
with conspiracy to defraud the Unit
ed States of their honest services In
the transfer of 100000 worth of
stock in the American Metal Com
pany to Swiss interests. These in
dictments still stand.

Publisher Adams
Tells Grand Jury
Of Indiana Corruption

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct 12.-(P-
Thomas H. Adams, publisher of the
Vincennes, Ind, Commercial, spent
two hours and is minutes this after
noon with the grand jury that has been
instructed to investigate his charges
of Indiana political corruption. An
oath of secrecy imposed upon the wit
nessos. upon the grand Juror and upon
all officials, will prevent any revelation
of what took place during the publish
er's long session with the investigating
jury.
Presumably Adams was questioned
concerning his allegations that public
officials high in the state, county and
city governments entered into corrupt
agreements with D. c. Stephenson, ex-
grand dragon of the Ku Klux Khan and
now serving life sentence in the state
prison for the murder of Madge Ober-
holtzer
The grand jury adjourned until to-
morrow after hearing Adams
An order to bring Stephenson on
before the grand jury Thursday morn
ing has been transmitted to Walter H
Daley, state prosecution warden
Adams has declared recently that
Stephenson has the key to evidence
which will reveal all details of the al
legged corruption. When Stephenson
will leave the prison is still uncertain.
There is, in addition to the order
for his grand jury appearance, a writ
of haheas corpus calling for his pres
ence tomorrow in superior court here
to give testimony in a receivership
case. Information as to Stephenson
assets is sought by the receiver for the
Hoosier Tailors, Inc, a concern in
which the ex-Klan leader was finan-
cially interested. The receiver holds
a judgment against Stephenson. For
several days it has been considered a
possibility that if Stephenson were al
lowed to reveal his assets he might
give information as to notes and other
evidences of Indebtedness to him of
high public officials. The Adams ac-
cusations have included charges that
certain officers bartered Offices and po-
litical patronage in exchange for
Stephenson's financial aid.
While the grand jury investigation
wenton, Clyde Walb, chairman of the
Republican state committee, sent TO
Adams letter calling on the publish
er to inform him publicly if he has
any facts in support of "veiled insintl-
atoms that there may be candidates
for office who have been guilty of
crime or corruption"

Chestnut Trees in
Appalachian Region
Threatened hy BLIGHT

Cincinnati, Oct. 12-(R1-The chest
nut blight threatens to destroy every
chestnut tree in the Appalachian
mountain forest region, said E. Fl.
Frothingam, director of the Appala-
chan Forest Experiment Station,
Asheyile, N. c., before the Appala-
chan Logging Congress here today.
"A terrible blight, the chestnut
blight, is spreading irresistibly over
the Appalachian mountain forest re-
gion," said rockingham.
ut has already killed millions of
chestnut trees and it will kill millions
more, until virtually every chestnut
tree as been wiped out.
"rhe best thing to be done, is to
chop down the good remaining chest
nut trees, worth millions of dollars:
use them up and permit nature to
grow other kinds of trees in their
places"
rockingham said that every effort
to check the ravages of the blight
had been in vain.

Thieves Get Away
With Famous Rose
Diamond in France

Chantilly, France, Oct 12-(P)--
The famous Rose Diamond, known as
the grand condo" and valued at
more than s2,oOO.O00, was the most
precious of number of priceless
treasures which We're stolen this
morning from the chateau of the Due
Amale, one of the national n1u-
seums of France.
A daring band of thieves, consist
ing of at least four men, scaled the
high walls of the castle grounds with
the aid of two ladders, crossed q
moat and climbed up to the famous
room of gems" from which they
looted precious stones and historical
ornaments. The Intrinsic value of
the objects stolen has been placed as
high as 100,000,000 francs while their
value as relics of bygone age are
beyond calculation.
Beside the Rose Diamond, the
thieves took two gorgeous diamond
studied daggers, one of which be-
longed to Abd-el- Kader and the other
to the hey of Tunis: cross of the
Legion of Honor which Napoleon !
gave to General Aymard in 1909;
several bracelets, one bearing the
portrait of the Queen of the Bel
gians by famous artist, and the
other bearing a cameo of Francis l,
Emperor of Austria; and several
watches and candy boxes, most of
them the work of celebrated artisans
and artists of seventeenth and eigh-
teenth centuries.
The Rose Diamond, heart-shap-
ped stone almost an inch long and
more than half inch wide, was once
owned by the celebrated French
General Prince De Condo, Louis II of
Bourbon, known as the Grand
Conde," who defeated the Spaniards
at the battle of Rocroi. The diamond
remained in the Condo family until
1880, when it was bequeathed to the
Due d'Amale.

Knows French Classics
Yet Holds Two Jobs

Paris-(P)-Forty-five years as
chief ticket controller of the Coincide
Franchise failed to enrich Honore
Courcier, who has retired on a gov
eminent pension. But it permitted
him to amass knowledge of French
classics which he is willing to pit
against any member of the French
Academy.
NJ. Courcier boasts that he is able
to recite from start to end nine
plays written by the greatest French
poets of the Louis XIV period and
to act as imprompter without the
text.
NJ. Courcier is sevepty-tw years
old but looks remarkably young for
his age, despite the fact that for
thirty -four years he was also a book
keeper in a banking house as well as
ticket controller and in order to hold
the two jobs, he rose at o'clock
and retired about one in the morning.

MACNESIA BEST FOR
YOUR INDIGESTION
Warns Against Doping Stomach With
Artificial Digestents

Most people who suffer, either occa-
sionally or chronically from gas, sour
ness and indigestion, have now dis
continued disagreeable diets, patent
foods and the use of harmful drugs,
stomach tonics, medicines and artifi-
cial digestents, and instead, following
the advice SO often given in these col
umns, take teaspoonful or two tab
let's of Bisurated Magnesia in a little
water after meals with the result that
their stomach no longer troubles them,
they are able to eat as they please
and they enjoy much better health.
Those who use Bisurated Magnesia
never dread the approach of meal time
because they know this wonderful
anti-acid and food corrective, which
can be obtained from any good drug
store, will instantly neutralize the
stomach acidity, sweeten the stom-
ach, prevent food fermentation, and
without the slightest pain or discon-
fort. Try this plan yourself, but be
certain to get pure Bisurated Mag
nesia especially prepared for stomach
use-AdV

the number Of such instances Il
comparatively small. The vast ma
tority OF people who do not save
anything out Of their earnings
imagine themselves much more
helpless than they really are.
The point is that they are not
willing to endure the temporary
Inconvenience and fhardships. So
called hardships Is one Of the great
blessings of a thrifty life. 1t Is
through hardship and sacrifice that
we are made strong, courageous
and wise.
Those who always follow the line
of least resistance are simply fool
ing themselves. They may escape
the sterner circumstances OF life
for q while but they viii suffer In
the end. Happiness, success, use
fulness to othersy and all the other
worthy things OF life are not the
gifts of idleness or coddlins.
To those who think the cost Of
living and the limitations Of In
come preclude saving money, these
truths particularly apply. The ap-
plication of more thought to these
problems Of individual manage
ment, the determination to earn =
little more and to spend q little
less, and, above everything else. the
willingness to accept hardship IN

problems in the right way.
