)dCn OF sorts.
That Connibear should have taken
up the teaching of rowing at Seattle
and evolved not only a winning sys
tenn, but men qualified to go elsewhere
and transplant that system, has been
regarded as one of those miracles or
sport that occasionally occur to con
found the critics and to give pause To-
those who abide exclusively by the
rule and rote of the game.
Got II From Cook.
And it has also been considered
extraordinary that Connibear should
have come upon a stroke SO closely
suggesting that taught by Yale's
great teacher in the sos, the late Boil
Cook
Now ii may I've stated that the Uni
versity of Washington's great rowing
pioneer was the creature of no
miracle and that his works are not to
he placed in the category Of phe-
nomena.
Here is what happened. In the
days before the war Joe Sharp was
athletic director at Chautauqua In
New York State. Among his activi-
ties had been rowing, which he was
we'll qualified to teach. But in course
of time the rowing idea waned on
Lake Chautauqua.
One day man with a rugged face
and hefty build appeared in Sharp's
office at Chautauqua.
II understand" he said. that YOU
used TO row at Yale under Bob Cook
and that you teach rowing here"
Sharp said that the visitor was par.
italy right. He had rowed at Yale
under Cook, but of late had not been
teaching rowing at Chautauuua.
Well" said the stra nger. my name
is Connibear and I am coach Of ath
letics at the University of Washing
ton. We are beginning TO fool with
rowing and I want to know something
about the stroke Bob Cook taught and
his methods of teaching so that I can
go back and give the boys something
worth while
How It Was Done.
There were no shells on the lake al
the time but Sharp did find a pair
cared gig. according to the writer's
information, and the two men went
out on the lake day after day. When
COnnibear had finally completed his
course he returned to Seattle and laid
the groundwork of a system that
eventually brought Washington into
the front rank of rowing colleges and
has given to the universities of the
country that go in for aquatics some
II coaches who as undergraduates
swung sweeps In the Washington
shell.
The Bob Cook stroke has become
a legendary phrase and it is probable
that nine out of ten who use it could
not describe the process in detail, if
generally. Yet a study of a Yale eight
under Edward Leader or any Wash
ington crew would enable the OBJ
server to reconstruct the old Cook
stroke with fair accuracy.

man who saw those documents.
There's plenty of proof"
Jackson, who returned late
Wednesday from Bloomington, was
quoted in morning newspaper as
making this statement:
I'D. c. Stephenson never at any
time gave me a check for $4,000
or any sum as a gift or for cam
paign purposes and any statement
that he did is absolutely false"
At the Governors mansion today
The Times was told that Jackson
was oNt of the city this morning
and would not return until late to-
day.
Other Documents
Asked as to the nature of some
of the other documents then in Ste
phenson's possession, Christian at
first said he did not recall definitely,
being at that time more concerned
Steve's political weapons"
Can you name some of the pub
lie officials involved in Stephenson's
papers," Christian was asked.
Yes, but I don't care to make any
further disclosures until 1 have dis.
cussed the matter with Steve. You
see, 1 am still his attorney of record.
He so informed me Tuesday. In
the light Of recent developments
don't know just how much he would
care to have said. I'll probably see
him Friday"
Pressed for more information con
corning the documents, many of
which have been scattered or
purloined, Christian declared:
IF they come to light, you, can
rest assured that Steve will have
plenty of company at Michigan
City. They involve both State and
county officials
What State and county officials;
their names?" the attorney was
asked
Il can't say just .how. Not until
I have seen Stephenson and talked
with him." Christian replied,
ANY judges fnvolved?" Christian
was asked.
His answer was, 'I don't just re-
member" preceded by a knowing
laugh.

Knockers Case Is
Taken to Court


JACKSONVILLE, Ind, Oct. a.
A suit asking for a mandamus re-
curing SCHOOL authorities of Port
Fulton, near here, to allow 9-year-
old Virginia Allen to attend school.
was on file with the Clark Circuit
Court here today.
The suit was filed as the climax
Of the now famous struggle between
Mrs. Fahyma Allen, mother of the
child, and school authorities over
the right of the latter to bar a girl
from school because she wore knick-
ers.
Virginia has worn Knockers to
school twice a day for three weeks
and each time the authorities have
refused her admittance, demanding
thta she change her attire.
The suit does not mention the
Knockers but declares the child is
being deprived of her right of a
public school education

signed and added, in his character
istic way, When they deal with me
they sign on the dotted line
Christian said that Stephenson,
at this stage of the trial, was be-
ginning to worry over the outcome
and was fearing a "double-crossing
at the hands Of some Of his friends.
"IIe was having photostatic copies
Of the documents made and asked
me to assume custody of the
originals, so he could use them as
club over the heads of the poll
ticians in case of conviction. After
looking them over, felt it, my
duty as an attorney, to turn them
oyer to the prosecutor and stated
that opinion to Stephenson. That
precipitated another outburst and l
have no further knowledge of what
became Of them" Christian said.
Christian repeated his former dec.
laration that a $1,000 Cancelled check
to Governor Ed Jackson was among
the papers.
II cannot state positively that the
Endorsement was in the handwriting
Of Ed Jackson, but l do remember
that as the name signed on the back
Of the check. l also recall another
check similarly signed and executed,
to the same man. / think it was for
$500. Each of these / recall rath-
er distinctly because 1 noticed the
bank on which they were drawn"
Christian said.
" He refused to name the Indianapo-
lis bank on which the checks were
drawn, but said it was one where
Stephenson did considerable business.
Verified by Photographer
When first uncovered as the pho.
tographers of the missing Stephen
son documents by The Times, c. M.
Hull and wife, of Anderson, told
Times reporter, in the presence of
two witnesses, that he remembered
distinctly having photographed a
check made out to Ed jackson in the
sum of $4,000.
Hull also spoke of having seen,
handled and photographed a check
made out to Mrs. Ed Jackson for
$50. Reference was also made of
the fact that a check for more than
$500 had been issued to a colored
newspaper in Indianapolis and that
colored politician had been re.
warded in an amount greater than
that paid the newspaper.
More than thirty checks were pho.
tographed, according to the Hulls,
as well as numerous documents.
Informed that Governor Jackson
had branded the check story lie,
Christian said, Il wonder what
makes him say that. If he says it's
lie, he's making the pretense of
knowing what Stephenson had in his
cell at Noblesville. I'm only telling
what I saw. l don't pretend to
Identify his handwriting, but 1 do

was for $4,000. They were made
