that his chance of making good his
charges by documentary evidence, if
he had any, was drawing to a close.
Then again the convict who once
ruled Indiana and has a very init
mate knowledge OF its politics and
its government, its officials and their
influence remarked:
every vote that grand jury
takes will he four to two. You
won't be able to indict any one"
Under the law it requires five
votes to return a true bill against
any persons against Yhom evil
dence has been produced. A vote
of four to two would result in no
action.
Report Due Monday
The grand jury Is now completing
preparation of its report on the elev-
en- weeks investigation Of the Ste
phenson charges Of Statewide po-
litical graft and corruption.
The jury Is to make It's report on
the matter at 10 a. m. Monday be-
fore Criminal Court Judge James A.
Collins. When the jury submitted its
institutional and routine report
Wednesday, Foreman Wilson Furnas
told the court the probe would be
completed "in two days"
Thursday, Sheaffer was excluded
from the grand jury rooms by o. f.
Calvin, member. At the time Sheaf-
fer attempted to obtain admittance
Gilliom was in the room, sitting in
the wintsss chair talking to men,
Der of the jury.
Gilliom stated he had been called
there to pass on some legal phases
Of the report that the jury desired
information about. Sheaffer is grand
jury deputy, and in this capacity he
Is authorized to act as advisor to
the jury on legal questions that
might arise, and also to aid the
jurors in preparation Of a report.
Remy Stays Out
Sheaffer told Remy Of his exclu.
sion and the prosecutor made no
move to go to the rooms, stating
that he would wait until he was
called. Remy told sheaffer he didn't
understand" Gilliom's presence
there.
Today Calvin said: II haven't any
thing to say. Sheaffer is one Of the
dandiest fellows I know. He's my
buddy"
According to Sheaffer's statement
to Remy, Calvin told him the jury
didn't need" him. He said as he
went into the room Gilliom turned
around and looked at him.
Gilliom said he knew nothing about
Sheaffer or Remy being barred from
the room, although he was sitting
within few feet Of the room en-
trance when Calvin addressed Sheaf-
fer.
Herman F. sprandel. juror. de-
clared he understood that "Sheaffer
withdrew voluntarily"
The jury investigation grew out of
a series. of letters which d. G. Ste
phenson struggled out Of Indiana
State Prison.
Letter Released
The first Of these letters, stating
that Stephenson, If given proper OPP
portunity, could disclose widespread
graft and other corruption in official
Indiana, was released for publication
Oct. by Thomas II. Adams, Vim

chairman of a committee Of Re.
publican editors who had been in
vestigating "Stephensonism" within

Immediately newspaper men from
all over the country clamored to

there was to his charges and what
proof he had. And equally as swift

son when Samuel Artman was shift

the industrial board, held the decid-
ing vote, it was said.
James 2. Goodrich, former Gov
ernor, has been aiding insult in the
conflict, and Lem Trotter, member
of the indianapolis board Of works,
Clarke, it was said.
Not Invited
McCardle and Jones both said
they were not invited to the con-
ference held by the other three COM
missioners.
While McCardle was waiting for
the commission session, scheduled to
begin at 9 a. m, to start, he made
this statement:
Mr.. Wampler has had the Hope
telephone case, in which an appraisal
also is necessary, for over a year
and hasn't completed it yet. What 1
want to know is why his rush in
this case and so much delay in that
little one.
ut is my reliable information
that Clarke has entered into a con-
tract bearing a large forfeit If this
deal Is not completed by Jan. 10.
That is why he is seeking to rush
this decision. If he is so foolish as
to enter into such contract, 1t is his
fault not ours.
Slump Imminent
'It is my judgment from review
ing the financial market that
slump in money Is imminent Jan. 1
and that money can be had cheaper
then than now. That is possibly one
element in the rush"
Brought Figures Yesterday
"Why was Harley Clarke in confer
ence with you Immediately preceding
your private caucus this morning?"
Commissioner Wampler was asked at
the conclusion of the official session.
Look at those papers or my
desk" was the reply.
"Why, he brought me a summary
Of the figures submitted yesterday"
Wampler finally said.
ITS a mighty small business for
a newspaper to poll the commits
sioners as to their vote" belligerent-
ly declared Commissioner Singleton
upon being questioned as to his vote
in the closed session.
Not Answering Questions
But don't you think the public
has a right to know how their COM
missioners vote on such important
I'm not answering questions"
was his evasive reply.
Jones and I stood pat on our
stand taken Thursday night" was
McCardle's comment on the vote.
Dramatic Case

matically when Commissioners Nc
Cardle and Jones said they were in
favor Of granting the postponement
at once and urged a public vote on
the question.

that he was ready to vote on this
question and was willing to tell the
public his decision.

Gentlemen. I'm at sea on this
question Of valuations" declared Nc.
Cardle, "and could reach no lust
decision on these valuations, even if
wanted to.
This commission does not accept
10 per cent for going value such as
the appraisers of Mr.. Clarke have
presented" This item in the valu.
alton mentioned was $4,000. 900.
Here comes an item of $4,000. 900
for financing" continued McCar(lle.
and I've never before heard of such
thing. One appraiser omits going
value entirely. They differ in MANY
other respects. When the experts
can't get together, how can we recon
cile the differences?
Our own engineer has made an
appraisal and Mr.. Clarke refuses to
accept his figures. Decision now is
impossible.

in favor Of giving you gentlenen
! ninety days and even longer, if YOU
need it. to have your experts make a
detailed and unprecedented appraisal
as a guide to this commission.

in this matter and I insist that they
be given a chance to be heard.

eral and at the count taken in Janu-
airy many roads showed a traffic equal
to half of the August traffic. Multi
plying the number of cars on the av-
erage highway, by the number of
miles in the trunk highway system,
and multiplying this by the number of
days the average car travels, the
above figures are obtained.
this year is $14.54. The gasoline tax
paid by the average motorist is about
So, but this includes trucks and BUSES,
so the average per passenger car will
be a little less. Assuming it is $3.50,
this makes total contribution of S22
per car to the trunk highway fund.
Organizations that keep records of the
upkeep of cars for travelling sales
men, county agents, and others, have
shown savings from 3 to 5 cents per
mile since the coming of good roads.
Using the smaller figure, the saving
on 2,425 miles of travel is $72.75, or
$5O.75 after deducting the highway
tax.
The average small car owner, who
travelled only 1859 miles on trunk
highways, at 3 cents mile saved
only $55.77, but his license tax was
only $40 and his gas tax about S., so
his net saving was about $40. The
large car owners gross saving was
