has resulted in repeated breaks in

President Coolidge answered the
complaints from the South by APP
pointing the cotton board to seek a
remedy for the situation. He re-
fused, however, to approve recon-
mendations for great extension Of
Federal reserve bank credit in the
South saying the situation was not
so serious as Southern Senators re-
ported.
New appeals for speedy Southern
aid were expected to follow today

Adams Comment

Adams made the following COM
ment on his visit:
II met Stephenson for the first
time. He was not the militant Khan
leader that controlled the Repub-
lican convention of 1924. He was a
subdued figure, whipped to fear and
surrender, facing death. l could see
that his subjugation was that of
whole hearted terror. He was palpa-
bly, i'll and so disturbed he could
hardly talk. l found his mind con-
tered on one idea-that Of his own
liberty. lie was willing to postpone
his great exposure for the present
because his life tenure in the prison
is a menace to him and he centers
his mind on his appeal for new
trial, for he has only scant three
weeks to file it, his lawyers have told
him to his bitter despair. Steve can
only pin faith in Thomas Miller, his
Muncie lawyer, for those mysterious
schemers who are lowering around
him, Kiplinger and Hill. can not help
him one iota. No one knows this
better than Steve. He is in for life.
He has only three weeks to make his
grace. He might get new trial If
his appeal was perfected.
Returning to his public announce
ment. Steve has not slipped / feel
confident of that He still wants to
talk.

Part OF a Play

The probe committee is not sur
prised. The visit. was part of play.
The result was real. Stephenson is
ready to tell the world when his
appeal is filed. He thinks 1t would
be worse than suicide to speak be

that was almost horror.

saw II. He was even out Of patience
with his old friend.
"Who is Furnishing him?
"Who is so Industrious that he de-
fies the state of Indiana in brow
beating this man so he won't talk?
He fairly cried out in despair, and
said: God. Adams. wait a minute
1 can not imperil my liberty just
now. 1t is so critical
HE looked his word. His voice
trembled. He almost wept. And
when I said that even Mrs. Julian

notable. He was more than pleased
with the results Of the days ex-
perience.

could be recorded on the dicta:

gered, but was promptly told that
the conference was private and to
please step out. He did.
"At last. adieu. 1 stepped aroun1
the table. Steve came forward. He
ilutched my hand. His face was
pale as ashes, and centered a steady

ton needed no open words. I could
read his mind and he read mine. The
resolve was there. He meant by that
look and that grasping touch Of
hand to hand that he would go all
the way through, as he said he
would in his letter Of Sept. 2S, and
help us save the State. No favor
here. He meant only for us to have
patience and he would help up and
save his friends who are in trouble.
l have never encountered a mental
force like that. The silence be.
tween us was awful, but he meant
all he felt and he pursed his lips in
his agonized stare, as though he
wanted us to scream out loud right
then and give his secrets to all the
world and cleanse his own soul"
