do you know where Meyer is in
Kansas City,"
81 did not trail him"
"Can you find out for me?"
1T will. surely"
ITO what extent is literature sent
out and speakers employed?"
Speakers are sent before all town
ships and county teachers Institutes
saying that We will be in the league
in four year. The last speaker was
Fred Libbey, who came to me and
said the people and children must be
taught to join the league in four
years"
Says State Flooding
Walb then told OF the work of
the opponents of Senators Watson
and Arthur Robinson in his State.
These guys are flooding the State
with League of Nations propagan-
da," Walb said.
He named one of the principal
league of nations speakers as Fred
J. Libbey. who is just back from
Geneva"
Walb submitted several clippings
from newspapers showing the ac-
tivity of the league advocates.
He estimated fifty speakers had
been sent into the League of Ma
tions and world court campaign.
Lots of them are college profes-
sors." he said. They preach peace
of the world"
"Who pays these speakers?"
Names Professor Hershey
"I don't know. They all looked
pretty we'll fixed. We have one of
them in our State named Prof. Amos
Hershey"
Reed then issued forthwith sub
poenaes for Hershey and Libbey.
Paul McNutt, commander Of the
Indiana American Legion. told him,
Walb said. that the pre-league court
workers were flooding every home
and precinct with propaganda.
Il have no idea what 1t is costing
them" Walb said.
Walb said the Republicans had
raised approximately forty thousand
dollars to support their State ticket.
"Who was the largest single con-
tributor?"
81 think it was Mr.. James A. Pat
ten Chicago wheat king. ! believe
he sent $1,000 to elect two Republic
an Senators"
Walb said Charles Piez. former
head OF the Emergency Fleet Corpo.
ration, had given $3.50.
Shows Pamphlets
Walb had gathered up more than
dozen samples OF League OF Ma
tions pamphlets which he gave 70
the committee. Several of these
were put out by the League OF Ma.
tions Non-Partisan Association.
This stuff doesn't help my ticket
at ALL" Walb commented. They
won't stand for it,"
Walb said 10000 school teachers
were in Indianapolis today and that
they were to be addressed by Rabbi
Stephen A. Wise on World Peace. b"
THAT won't help much either"
the witness said. I'VE won't have a
chance to reply to them"
The Democrats are spending APP
proximately $4,000 on literature
alone, Walb said.
Mark Williams of Elwood. Ind.

ton that he might know something
about a story afioat that $4,000. 900

Emmons was recalled briefly to the
stand this morning.

asked him.

witness said. Connected with the
Christian Church."
Reed then excused Emmons, but
asked him to stand by to be called
later.
BOssert Takes Stand
Bossert was then called.
Bossert had been named by EN-
mons as the man who was ousted
from his dragonship by Wizard
Evans for failure to support Sen.

Bossert said he quit the Khan last
January.
How did you come to resign?"
Reed asked.
Il had been asked to resign the
September before and my resigna-

Were you asked directly to resign
for political reasons?"
mo. not directly. Nobody came

Reed said, Il wish you would tell
me frankly about this"
Loathe to Testify
Bosserts testimony was hating
and Reed had difficulty drawing him
out.
II could he forced out Of the
Khan Of Indiana" Bossert said.
But l couldn't be made to quit the
vice presidency of the national Khan.
II would like to explain my po-
sition, If you please. 1t was my
policy to stand for principles and
not for men,"
How did that get you into
