prise and anger of the prosecutors
when they learned that Kiplinger
and Hill had beaten their men to
Stephenson.
Aid Asked
Gilliom today sent letters to all
county prosecutors of Indiana urg-
ing them to submit any information
on the Stephenson matter, which
they might have. to Prosecutor
Remy. If it is local in character, It
should be given to the grand jury
in the prosecutors county, the let.
ter suggested.
The letter follows:
1.-The grand jury of Marion County
is investigating the recently pub
lished general charges of official
misconduct in this State. So that
this Investigation may be exhaustive
and complete, I request that you
promptly apprise the Marion County
prosecutor. Mr.. William II. Remy,
of any information bearing on any
phase of the subject under investiGa.
ton that may come to your at
tention.
ANY such information which can
properly be heard only by a grand
jury of another county should be
properly referred for attention"

ALL GRAINS LOSE
ON FOREIGN NEWS
Wheat 7-8 Cent Lower and
Corn Is Off 5-8 Cent.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-All grains
opened lower on the Chicago Board
of Trade in sympathy with lower
foreign markets.
Wheat was &c off in all positions
because Liverpool and Buenos Aires
opened sharply lower today. Freer
offerings. of the Manitoba wheat in
the British market and favorable
weather conditions in the Argentine
caused the break.
The Government report on corn
published yesterday had a bearish in
fluence in the corn pit, this cereal
opening 5sc lower on all deliveries.
The official report showed an in
crease of $4,000, 300 bushels over es-
Inmates of the previous month, and
also gave the amount of old com
still on the farm as 1S1,0OO,OOO
bushels.
Oats, although fundamentally
strong, was influenced by the major
grains, opening unchanged to sc
lower.
Provisions opened unchanged.

evinced keen interest in finding out
who is so vitality interested in pre-
venting the grand jury from get
ting to the bottom of the Stephen
son scandal.
They do not believe that Stephen
son himself is directing the moves
to block the investigation. Stephen.
son started the investigation by
smuggling from the prison a series
Of letters stating that under proper
circumstances he could expose a sys-
tenn of graft and corruption in Of.
fetal Indiana which would crock the
Nation"
Furthermore, Stephenson upon
each of several occasions when he
has been interviewed by deputy pros
ecutors, has shown no disposition to
thwart any moves of the prosecutor
other than that he has declined to
answer any questions which he be-
lieved might be inimical to his in
terests in the arson and kidnapping
cases pending in Criminal Court
here.
Renfy and Gilliom declared that
they were going to find out why

whose moves in the affair
have been mysterious at times, got
to the prison in time to be inter
viewing Stephenson when Julian.

Kiplinger had shown the warden
what purported to be a letter from
Stephenson asking. Kiplinger to
come to the prison for a conference.
Attorney Gilliom, when he heard
about this Thursday, directed Sheaf-
fer at Michigan City to get the let
ter from Kiplinger. But Kiplinger
had departed and Sheaffer, Niblack
and Julian Were back at the court
house today without the letter
Warden Walter II. DAILY of the
prison said that the letter shown
to him was authentic.
Asked when it was mailed, he

Kiplinger and Hill about the trip of

KENT AND SUSSEX FAIR OPENS
First Day, Monday, Attended by Near
ly 1000 PeOple-Exhibits Best Ever
Shown at Harrington, it is Said

Under the most ideal weather con-
ditions experienced in its history, the
Kent and Sussex Fair Association OPP
ened its gates Monday at Harrington,
for the seventh annual season. Close
to two thousand persons attended.
The harness racing card resulted in
many close contests and in conjunc-
ton with other racing novelties fea-
tured the day. The exhibits, looked
upon as the finest ever entered at the
fair, were placed and with beginning
of the judging drew record breaking
crowd. Yesterday was Children's Day.
All children were admitted to the
grounds and grandstand without
charge. To-day is Governors Day.
One of the big features of the exhibits
is that showing the progress made
through the county agents and the
State Agricultural Department in the
work of the boys and girls clubs
throughout the State Poultry, corn
and potatoes and sewing are exhibited
by the A H Club members of New
Castle county. Approximately $3.50
in prizes will be awarded to winners
in the boys and girls clubs. The
North Star Potato Club, of Hockessin,
and its Boys Club, are also large ex-
hibitors. President CHARLES D. Muir
ply; vice-president, B. l. Shaw; sec
retary, Ernest Raughley; treasurer,H.
=. CULLEN, all of Harrington, express
ed great pleasure with the results of
the opening day and are confident the
fair will break all records for attend
ance before the week is up.

BOULEVARD ALONG OCEAN FROM
LEWES To CHICOTEAGUE URGED
DELAWARE, MARYLAND, VIR-
GINA RESORTS MAY BE LINKED
Governor Robinson Already Sets Pro-
ject Rolling by Asking the Highway
Department to Make a Survey

Governor Robinson has asked the
State Highway Department to make
a survey for an ocean boulevard skirt
ing the sixteen miles of ocean front
age from Lewes southwark to the
Maryland line. Such boulevard
was suggested by the Governor at a
Chamber of Commerce banquet in Re
hoboth several months ago, and it has
aroused much interest. The Governor
desires the Highway Department to
learn whether such a boulevard is
feasible and the estimated cost of it.
The question Of where to get funds
for the construction of such a road
and bridges would have to be met by
Delaware. Such a highway as the
Governor favors would be the first
link in a boulevard to extend from
Lewes through Maryland's Eastern
Shore, to Chincoteague, Virginia The
approximate cost of such highway
is estimated at $4,000 per concrete
mile. Nearly two million dollars
would be required on the entire
straightway boulevard. Delaware,
with sixteen miles of concrete to be
laid, would, it is thought, be obliged
to furnish about S48O,OOO for the
highway and S15O,OO0 for bridging in
lets and streams. Maryland, with 35
miles of ocean frontage, would lay ap-
proximately 27 miles of concrete,
eight miles of which are already un-
der construction, at a cost of $4,000,
and an additional $4,000 for the nat
ural inlet south of Ocean City. Vir-
ginia would be obliged to spend about
$150,000 for five miles of highway. 1t
has been suggested that money for
the construction of the Delaware end
be secured by the sale of ocean front
properties for shore home sites at six
dollars per front foot. Most of the
land over which the Delaware high
way would pass are owned by the
State and by the Public Lands Com
mission. That the projected road is
believed feasible was demonstrated by
motor trip recently take by inter
ested persons from Ocean City, Nd,
to Bethany Beach, Del. If funds are
available, the Delaware end of the
proposed boulevard may be construct
ed next year Efforts are under way
in Maryland, it is said, for similar ac-
tion through proper channels. The
program would require the bridging
Of Indian River Inlet as a part of the
projected boulevard plan. This might
help to solve the problem of keeping
that inlet open by combining that with
the boulevard project.
