GRAND JURY FAILS
IN FRAUD PROBE
Majority Reports Corruption
Among High Officials in
Indiana Not Proved.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, December
25.-Eleven weeks of investigation of
charges that corruption has existed
among high officials of Indiana have
failed to produce indictments by the
grand jury that conducted the inquiry,
it was disclosed yesterday. The in
vestigating body was not unanimous,
however. in the opinion that the evil
dence it has heard did not warrant in
dictments. Five of the six grand
jurors can vote indictments, but re-
ports had 1t that only four of the
Jurors were in favor Of returning in
dictments, while two were opposed.
The investigating body completed it's
report on the inquiry yesterday after
noon and submitted it to Judge James
A. Collins of the Criminal Court. He
scanned it and then returned it to the
foreman, Wilson Furnas, with instruc-
tons to eliminate or change the final
paragraph, which the judge declared
violated the oath the jurors had taken
to disclose none of the evidence that
had been submitted. The report was
taken back to the grand jury room.
but after a few minutes elaboration
the investigators adjourned The
report probably will be submitted
again to the judge at 10 am. next
Monday.
No Indictments Involved.
Judge Collins said it was fair in
ference that the report contained no.
indictments. This view was also held
by Fred c. Cause, special deputy pros
ecutor, who has been assisting in the
inquiry. There was no comment from
the grand jurors themselves.
The failure of the investigators to
agree upon the change suggested by
Judge Collins in their report was
taken as further indication of the diff
ference Of opinion that was rumored
to prevail among the jurors.
William II. Remy; prosecutor, and
his assistant, William II. Sheaffer,
both of whom have been active in de-
veloping evidence for the inquiry. took
occasion to recall prophetic remarks
made by d. C. Stephenson, former Ku
Klux Khan leader, regarding the grand
jury's attitude toward the corruption
charges. Stephenson was visited by
the prosecutors at the State Prison,
where he Is serving a life sentence for
the murder of Madge Oberholtzer.
They hoped to obtain from him evil
dence in support of charges that high
State officials had bargained corruptly
with him for his political support.
Both Quote Stephenson.
Both Remy and Sheafer asserted
that Stephenson had told them every
vote taken by the grand jury would
stand to 2.
The corruption charges which
brought about the inquiry were first
made by Thomas II. Adams, publisher
of the Vincennes. Ind, Commercial.
The publisher with several colleagues
had made an independent investiga-
ton into the political situation.
He declared his inquiry revealed
that high officials eager for Stephen
sons political influence had, entered
into corrupt deals with the ex-grand
dragon.

HITS ELDRIDGE RULING.
Corporation Counsel Denies Director
May Revoke Drivers Permits.

Corporation Counsel Francis II.
Stephens submitted ruling to the
Commissioners yesterday holding that
the director of traffic has no legal
authority to revoke a drivers permit
of a District motorist convicted or
charged with an offense in another
jurisdiction.
The ruling was based on an appeal
of a District motorist convicted In
Maryland on a charge of driving while
drunk. Traffic Director NJ. 0. Ed
ridge revoked his permit forthwith.
The corporation counsel's decision
is regarded of far reaching Importance
in view of the action Of Mr.. Eldridge
in canceling the permits of number
of District motorists charged with
offenses in other States. The Commits.
sioners will consider the opinion at
their semi-weekly board meeting Tues.
day.

The long horizontal wall spaces usu-

This can be nicely remedied if the

Canada Institutes
Bird Soncfuories

With the progress of settlement the
Canadian prairies are losing those
special characteristics generally assoc
ciated with them. Their isolation,
their treelessness, their lack Of social
amenities, are becoming things of the
past.
Yet certain developments need to
be regulated. For example, the De-
partment of the Interior has just set
aside a number Of public shooting
grounds, and has added eleven bird
sanctuaries to those already estab-
lished These regions contain the
most important breeding grounds on
the American continent for wild fowl
which, from time immemorial, have
found in marsh and reedy lake food
and security. The advent of ciyili-
zation. with its attendant draining Of
swamps, tends to reduce the size of
the breeding grounds and this, to-
gether with increased facilities for
sport, has reduced the number of
birds to an alarming extent, some spe-
cies, indeed, being threatened with
extinction.

you have quite as much light as you
need on that side of the room, two big
spaces for pictures, and a much more
artistic result.
If two side lights seem desirable for
the long wall, they should be set one
at either end of the WALL preferably
in narrow panels, SO the center space
will carry. at least one big picture.
In narrow panels, if the side lights
are not placed too low. delightful
accent is given by small print hung
beneath the fixture. This treatment is
very effectively used over mantel.
Where at the outer edges narrow pam
els with side lights flank broad cen
ter space, hang below each bracket a
quaint silhouette and see how charm
ing the over-mantel space becomes.
This scheme leaves a fine center back

to furniture and draperies-a definite
part of your decorative plan. No side
light-however lovely-can speak to
you Of romance, strange lands and

So let the lights step to one side, and
keep clear a generous playground for
the colorful prints and etchings that

others as you are individual yourself.

They are greater connoisseurs than
you think these growing boys. Often
you'll feel, when they plaster the
walls of their room with calendar
dogs and lurid ships, there is nothing
to be done about their feeble artistic

Your young son will surprise you by
his glowing response to their beauty

In the growing mind constructive
ideas, love of fine animals, interest in
history and travel are greatly stimu-
lated by worthwhile pictures.
Pictures by some of the modern
artists who have caught the dignity
and beauty of vast building operations
impart to the boy sturdy thoughts
through their subjects of fine CON
struction work. These may be OBJ
tanned in good reproductions. A screen
carrying In its panels prints of ia
nous ships is another fortunate
choice. Colorful hunting scenes sug-
gest sport and the out-of- doors. Fine
prints of a pedigreed dog or horse
foster kindness and a judment of good
points. Boys feel at home among such
surroundings and are eager to bring
their friends.
