NIGHT is MUCH HOTTER
Northern Indiana Gets Cool

Suffer Next.
HOURLY TEMPERATURES


A trick Of the winds has cheated
Indianapolis and central and south
ern Indiana out of the relief from
the heat they were due to get to-
day, according to j. H. Arlington,
United States weather bureau head.
Temperatures viii continue today
nearly as high as on Wednesday
and Thursday. 1t will be slightly
cooler tonight. but the heat wave
will continue Saturday and probably
over the weekend, Arlington said.
Today's l p. m. temperature was
80, 2 degrees lower than at the same
hour yesterday, but temperatures
last night were several degrees
higher than the preceding night.
Cooler in Northern Part
Northern Indiana, according 20
Arlington, has the heat wave re-
lief which should have extended over
the State, Temperatures are con-
arbly lower in the northern - +
of the State today, hp said.
The high baronletric pressure
area, which Thursday was over the
northern Rockies and was due to
move down across Indiana, bring
ing cool breezes from the northwest,
has moved over the northern part OF
the State and is going eastward, he
said.
Pressure has 'f1attened out" over
central and southern Indiana, Ken
lucky and Tennessee, which means
that over that area there is such
equality of barometric pressure that
there is no wind movement to draw
the cool winds from the high pres
sure area.

BIZ Times Special
PENDLETON, Ind, Sept. 16.-It
took the combined efforts of the
chairman of the meeting, his men
tor, Ray Gibbons of the State in
dustrial commission, and a drum
corps to keep a situation which de-
veloped at a gathering of Madison
County Republicans here last night
from becoming embarrassing for
United States Genator Arthur r.
Robinson.
At the conclusion of Robinson's
speech, the crowd discovered in its
midst Oswald Ryan, Anderson atto--
ney and leading Madison County
Republican, and set up the cry,
Let's hear Ryan" About 500 were
in the crowd.
Ryan was the opponent Of Robin
son in the race for United States
Senator in The last primary ard de-
nounced "black box" leadership If
the Republican party Wednesday be-
fore the S-uth Bend Rotary Club.
Ryan Not on Program
Chairman Clarence o. DAWSON,
club secretary, conferred hastily
with Gibbons, appointee of Governor
Jackson, ano Robinson, who were
on one side of the plato
DAVIDSON then walked to the foot
lights and said: Mr. Ryan was net
on the ev >ning's program and the
program is full"
Whereupon Floyd McGriff, of the
anderson Herald, arouse and sug-
gested that Ryan be invited to spi'ak
briefly, since the crowd appeale 1
eager to hear him.
Then the Band Plays
At the command of Gibbons, the
drum corps struck up a tune, drown
ing out McGriff.
Ryan arose and explained that
81 did not come to this meeting to
speak, but to listen"
However, I am surprised that the
chairman should feel that any Re-
publican who had carried Madison
County in the last primary by TIE
largest vote any Republican ever OBJ
tanned in the county should have
anything to say that would not be
sound Republican doctrine"
Ryan then thanked the crowd and
sat down.
Fear Embarrassment
Again the crowd set up a cry for
Ryan to take the platform. Senator
Robinson hurriedly left the plat
form and stood at the outskirts.
After the meeting DAWSON and
Gibbons came to Ryan and in the
presence of a small group Gibbons
said:
"We're willing that you should be
invited to address this Republican
Club at some other meeting, but
didn't want any note Of embarass-
ment in this gathering"
Robinson after urging a united
Republican effort to face the party
problems attacked the editor of The
Indianapolis Times, saying that
"any individual who deliberately de-
flames another, and without cause
attempts to ruin his reputation
among his fellows, deserves the
same punishment as that melted out
to a thief"

The defense Immediately OBJ
iected, on the ground that the
affidavit upon which Duvall is
being tried charges only that
Dutall promised Arm it a g e
three city hall appointments in
return for a contribution of
$4,000 and that it is improper
to introduce evidence touching
any other points.
Attorney M. A. Ryan of the de-
Tense took up the argument after
Judge Shirley had asked for further
advice this morning.
Real Meat of Case Found
Ryan declared that it was unnec-
essary to spread out the evidence
over other alleged acts than those
stated in the affidavit, indicating
that the real meat of the case CEN
tered in even less ground than the
State already has covered.
He said he has told his client and
was willing to tell the court that it
is immaterial whether Duvall used
the $14,500 Armitage says he gave to
him during the campaign or wheth-
er ne did not. y
1.-THE State has made its case, if
in the minds of the jury it has
proved that Duvall made those
promises to Armitage," said Ryan.
Defense Concludes
IF the jury believed the story
that fell from the lips of William
Armitage yesterday, the crime is
complete, both in the act of prom
Use and the element of intent" De-
Tense Attorney Eph Inman said.
Inman followed Ryan and Martin
Hugg and concluded defense argu-
ment on the technicality. 1t was
Inman's first speaking appearance
at the trial
Prosecutor Remy and Hoffman
followed with brief pleas for the
States side of argument.
Remy contended that the State
assumed it necessary to prove
wrongful intent on the part of
Duvall in his offer to Arnlitage. If
the court holds that this is not the
case, by sustaining the defense con-
tention, he will be aiding the State,
attorneys contend.
Cites Old Case
The State is basing its desire to
introduce other witnesses into the
case on an Indiana Supreme Court
decision rendered in bribery case
against Councilman John Higgins.
Higgins was convicted of soliciting
bride from David M. Parry, wagon
manufacturer, to use his influence
in the council to get railroad
switch put in to Parry's plant.
The court allowed a witness to
testify that Higgins solicited an
other bride from another party and
