something say about the policy of
the party in a campaign.
"In saying that Cartwright is not
vice chairman of the State commit
tee, Walb is right. but he knows
when he says it that Cartwright is
chairman of the executive commit
tee, a char sc made to comply with
the law"
Senator James e. Watson an.
nounced today that he will not OPP
pose the proposed investigation by
Reeds committee of Indiana political
conditions. in a telegram which he
sent to The Chicago Tribune, deny
ing that he ever had been inter-
viewed on the subject of the Reed
committee coming to Indiana.
Story in Tribune
The Tribune today carried a story
in which it stated that Watson
would oppose a Reed committee In
diana investigation on the grounds
that the Reed probers only have
authority to investigate the 1926,
primary and election campaign.
Most of the Adams charges relate to
the 1924 election.
Watson's secretary John Hays
also sent a telegram to The Tribune
saying that that papers story was
| incorrect.
Senator Watson's telegram to the
| Tribune follows:
Chicago Tribune,
Chicago, Illinois.
II have read with surprise Tribune
statement today that 1 would oppose
the Reed committee coming into In
diana to conduct an investigation. l
made no such statement to any one
at any time, nor did l ever direct
any person to make any such state
ment for me. In so far as am con-
cerned the Reed committee will be
welcomed to Indiana any time its
be glad to aid it in so far as my
physical condition will permit. in any
investigation that 1t may see fit to
undertake.
JAMES e. WATSON"
Hays said Senator Watson injured
in an auto accident last Sunday,
probably will remain in the Method
list Hospital for some time.
His right foot pains him consid-
erably and l am sure he will not be
able to use it for several weeks,
Hays said.
The Reed committee, meeting in
Chicago, Monday, is to continue on
investigation of Illinois affairs.
Reed has announced the body
might take up matters from other
States.
Walb. in a letter to Senator Bo
rah of Idaho several days ago
charged that international bankers
are spending huge sums of money
in the State to defeat the Repub'
lican senatorial ticket this fall
The Times asked Senator Reed to
investigate this statement of Walb.
Adams also wired Reed, asking
him to investigate the Stephenson
corruption charges.
Walb this morning denied that
Roy o. West, secretary Of the ma
tional Republican committee, was in
Indianapolis. The Chicago Tribune
this morning said West was here
and conferred with Walb and Wat
son Friday.

Most Hogs Are Up rs Cents
Top, $14.25-BuIk,
S14.1O@14.25.

The hog market was generally 25
cents higher in the trading at the
final sessio.. of the Indianapolis Live
stock Exchange, only the heaviest
hogs failing t, register a gain. A
drop in receipts to 5000, with 229
holdover hogs, was believed to have
met with demand sufficient to
cause the uptrend in values.
Top price was SLABS and the bulk
of the sales were made at $14.1O0
14.25. For several weeks there has
been considerable sickness among
hogs. and it is believed the large
volume Of lightweights were brought
to the market because they were be-
lieved to be sick. A shortage of ma
tured hogs may result later. it is
said. Packing sows were sold at
$10@11.75. Pigs Weighing 12O139
pounds sold a $12; 13O.14O pounds,
$12.75; 140-15O pounds, $13, and $50

Kiplinger was at the Monon station
in Hammond and caught a train for
Indianapolis. Reporters met him at
the train here. Where Julian went

The grand jury was not In session
today. Klincks movements have
been of unusual interest since Thurs
day when he and Deputy Prosecu-
tor William H. Sheaffer had held
three-hour unhampered conference
with stephenson in prison.
The prosecutor. so far as is known,
has not located Miss Mildred Meade,
1929 T.. Sixteenth ST, the friend of
Stephenson who is known to have
had some of the documents in her
possession.
The girls parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Meade insist she sent the
papers away some time ago.
However. the girl left home sud.

for a moment early Sunday morn

Remy was at Greencastle, Ind,

turn at noon.
