DEMOCRATS IN
COUNCIL IRATE
Protest on RaiIroading of
Ordinances.

Railroading Of ordinances by Re-
publican councilmen aroused the ire
of Democratic minority members at
council meeting Monday night.
Both Councilmen Edward B. Raub
and Robert A. springsteen, Demo
Gratis, criticised riding through the
laws and judiciary committee of the
ordinance to employ council attorney
at $500 a year.
DIR. Austin II. Todd, sponsor OF
the measure, moved to postpone ac-
ton pending additional study. No
emergency necessitates hiring legal
talent. Raub asserted.
Its not the purpose to employ
an attorney at once, but the posi-
ton must be created so that we may
get a man when an emergency
arises" DIR. Todd explained.
IF the ordinance is on the books
you'll soon find an emergency and
a man for the job" Raub countered.

There is only one issue in this

governor was the principal speaker at
a democratic rally in which Tom G.

Vaughn, corporation commissioner, and
c.. o. Case, state superintendent of
public instruction, also spoke
John Hart of Douglas, Cochise
county supervisor, and Major George
H. Kelly, state historian, were also ON
the stage. Major Kelly acted as chain
man at the rally and introduced the
speakers All the candidates urged the
people to vote the entire democratic
ticket. Senator Henry f. Ashurst, who
was scheduled to speak here, was un-
able to do so because Of the condition
of his voice Ana Frohmiller, candi-
date for state auditor and E. A.
Hughes, candidate for state tax COM
missioner, were also unable to come
here for the rally.

STEPHENSON FAILS TO
TELL ADAMS MUCH OF
INDIANA KLAN FUSS

MICHIGAN. CITY, Ind, Oct. 23--(H9-
The request of Thomas II. Adams
publisher of the Vincennes, Ind, Com
mercial. that he be permitted to enter
the Indiana state prison to seek from
d. c. Stephenson evidence to substan-
tiate charges of. political corruption
that Adams has made, was granted to-
day. After spending more than two
hours with Stephenson, Adams and a
committee that accompanied him left
the prison and prepared a statement
setting forth that some questions they
had put to the prisoner were unan-
swered They obtained few admis-
sions and said that they had gained
the impression that he was i'll at east
and apparently afraid to talk freely.
Stephenson is in the prison serving
a life sentence for the murder of Miss
Madge Oberholtzer of indianapolis. He
was convicted of this crime almost a
year ago. In 1924 he was grand dragon
Of the Indiana ku klux khan and re-
puted to be a power in republican
politics.
Adams, in company with several as
sociates month ago, made charges
that during Stephensons reign over
the klan the former grand dragon en-
tered into corrupt deals with high Of
ficials. He declared that he was in
formed that Stephenson, if permitted
to talk would make revelations of the
alleged corrupt negotiations. When the
charges were first made, prison Off
cials refused Adams and other news
paper men permission to interview
Stephenson.
| Adams charges eliminated i'm the
ordering of a grand jury Investigation
at Indianapolis, and today the pub
!lisher, through the intervention OF
grand jury officials, obtained permis-
sion to interview Stephenson.
| The ex-kIan leader, the statement
said, declared he was not in a position
| to talk unless his conversation was
/ confidential, and would discuss only
his appeal from the murder conviction
He was quoted as saying: You car
understand how it is and the fix | an
] in. l am in great danger. l am In
/ keenest jeopardy. My liberty is al
stake and if | talk about anything ex.
traneous today l would only injure my
+ own case and cause myself additional
! trouble"
| Stephenson was said to have admit.
| ted that grand jury officials have il
their possession keys that will unlock
strong boxes which are alleged to con.
| tain Evidence which will support the
political corruption charges. However
! he apparently gave no clue as to the
! location of those boxes.
/ Officials for several days have beer
seeking to trace l.. c. Julian of Evans
willie, Ind, former associate of tn,
grand dragon. Julian, a recent Wis
itor at the state prison, is believed t
have some knowledge of the where
abouts of the documentary evidence.
Stephenson was asked today if h
knew where Julian might be found
