purpose of suppressing a news
paper.
Z. That Dearth so manipulated
juries that many citizens could not
obtain fair and impartial trials.
Fitch's Remarks
The statement which Senator
Fitch of Muncie read when the ar
ticles Of Impeachment were filed
follows:
This is neither the time nor &C.
casion to discuss pro or con the inn
parchment charges which have been
presented against my fellow citizen.
1t is not my purpose at this time to
speak upon the merits Of these
charges. In the past decade there
have occurred some unfortunate
events to which wide publicity has
been given through the press of
this and adjoining States, tending to
reflect upon the citizenship Of the
city of Muncie and Delaware Coun-
ty. This is not the first time that
accusations have been made against
some Of our duly elected public Off
Gals. Such accusations have not
been confined to the officials of one
political party alone, and when the
facts warranted the offenders have
been brought to the bar Of justice
and punished, regardless Of political
utilization.
People "Clean House"
when malfeasance has occurred
the good people Of Muncie have
promptly proceeded to clean house,
That they have done so is evidence
of the fact of the high character,
the courage, the patriotism and the
ideals Of people of the county and
city, which I have the honor to rep
resent. 1t is to be regretted that
the acts Of few men have cast a
stigma Upon the fair fame and good
name Of my city and county. The
people Of Delaware County as
whole are as law abiding, as loyal,
as patriotic and intelligent as those
of any county in Indiana. In char
ity and philanthrophy they are not
excelled. No county in proportion
to population has more or better
churches or schools. Every great
fraternal and civic organization of
national Importance is represented
by an active club or lodge. It's
fraternal organizations and churches
have built magnificent temples and
homes which are filled to their lin
its. Our people are a God fearing
people.
Meets Its Quota
1.-THE county has given its full
share Of volunteers in every war
since 1t was first settled by hardy
pioneers, and on the day that en-
listment was open for volunteers in
the World War, Muncie had more
enlistments than did New York City.
In the late World War it never
failed to exceed it's quota in every
demand and request made upon it.
In all matters promoting the prog
ress and welfare of mankind. Della
ware County has not taken back
seat.
"That Indiana has had to build
hospitals, asylums a nd prisons is
not conclusive evidence that its en-
tire population is sick, insane or
criminal. The good men and good
women who constitute the vast ma
jortiy Of our citizens do not wish
to be judged by the malfeasance and
delinquencies Of the few. So in this
hour Of unhappy notoriety, I speak
in behalf Of Delaware County and
the city of Muncie. and ask that
you have faith in her citizenship in
general"

ADAMS ANSWERS
G|LL|OM REQUEST
FOR RETRACT|ON
Says Attorney General
LibeIed Him in Cam
paign Speech.

Thomas Adams, Vincennes editor,
today responded in person to the de-
mand of Attorney General Arthur
L. Gilliom that he retract certain
statements published in his Vincen-
mes newspaper.
Adams answer to Gilliom was that
Gilliom had slandered him when he
went to Vincennes on Oct. 81 and
delivered a campaign speech.
Adams stated that he had never
accused Gilliom of belonging to the
Khan and that it would have been no
libel if he had made such a state
ment.
Counter Charges
After making counter charges of
libel to the demand for retraction
asked by Gilliom, Adams went into
the history of the demands of Repub-
lican editors for assistance in high
way cases and charged Gilliom with
not only refused to act but with
sending kilograms to A r. Erskine
of South Bend when the head of the
Studebaker Corporation had offered
to assist in Adams crusade for action
On the D. C. Stephenson corruption
charges.
The document was taken by
Adams to the office of the attorney
general and explicitly invited a libel
suit by waving any formal demand
for retraction Of his published
articles.
Asks Questions
After making his counter charge,
Adams appended the following ques-
tons which he asked Gilliom to
answer:
Did you not know that the name
Of the Governor of the State of Indi-
ana had been mentioned in connec-
ton With the matters of the Press
Probe Committee?
How did it come that Fred Cause,
from Governor Jackson's home town;
both being ex-judges Of the Henry
Circuit Court, was appointed by the
Marion Criminal Court to assist In
the grand jury investigation when
there were yourself, the prosecuting
attorney and his deputy, Ralph
Kane, especially appointed by said
court upon the recommendation Of
Prosecutor Remy?
Did you, or did you not recommend
or approve, as attorney general, the
payment of $500 out of the Cover
nor's contingent fund Of the States
money, to Cause for his services
rendered and to be rendered as such
assistant?
Did you, or did you not recon-
mend or approve that Ralph K.
Kane, appointed by said court as
special assistant to the prosecutor,
be paid out Of the Governors con-
tingent fund Of the States moeny,
$500 for services rendered and to
be rendered?
Did you know that Marion County
was amply able to pay Kane for his
assistance in the matter before the
grand jury?
Did you know that there was no
duty of any kind devolving upon the
state to pay for Kane's services after
he had been appointed by the said
court to assist?

Conferees' Impasse May

Conference Failure Factor.

An impasse having been reached
by Senate and House conferees on the
question of beginning construction
this year on three additional scout
cruisers, separate vote by the House
on this amendment to the naval ap.
preparation may be necessary. An
amendment similar to that approved
by the Senate was rejected by the
House on a roll call vote, although
Republican leaders there favored a
proposal upon which President Cool
ige had frowned.
When the bill reached the Senate
the cruisers amendment was adopted
by an overwhelming ma jority, and
Senate conferees will insist to the Ia st
that this provision be retained in the
bill.
Representative French, Republican

in the House, and some of the other

OLD D. c. VOTE BILL
DATA FURNISHED
Report to 9th Congress
Goes With Measure to Sen.
ate Judiciary Committee.

When the favorable report Of the
Senate District committee on the joint
resolution for a constitutional amend
ment that would enable Congress to
grant national representation to the
people Of Washington was referred
to the Senate judiciary committee
Yesterday it was accompanied by
COPY of the comprehensive report on
the subject, prepared by the District
committee in the Sixty seventh Con
gress.
Senator Wesley l.. Jones, Republi-
can, of Washington, presented the re-
port of the District committee to the
Senate yesterday and requested that
1t be sent to the judiciary committee
Jones Explains Procedure.
He explained that this course OF
procedure had been agreed to when
the resolution was introduced, since
il involved a constitutional amend
ment.
The copy Of the report made by the
District committee In the Sixty
seventh Congress places at the dis.
nosal of the judiciary committee a
wealth of valuable information cover,
ing every argument in support Of the
District's claim to representation In
the halls Of Congress and In the cleo
toral college.
This document sets forth clearly
that TIE proposed amendment would
not reduce the power OF Congress
over the Capital. but would add a
new power; that it does not propose
the admission OF the District into the
Union as a sovereign State, and that
it does not propose or involve
changes in the municipal government
Number of Senators Optional.
The resolution would leave 1t OPP
tional with Congress TO allow the Dis
trict one or two Senators, representa-
ton in the House according to census
and the status Of citizens for the pur-
pose of suing and being sued in Fed
erai courts.
A similar resolution is pending In
the judiciary committee of the House,
so that the course followed yesterday
places the question in the same com
mittee position in the Senate.

GALE DRIVING COAST

the helpless picket boat was too far

The Coast Guard cutters Red Wing

Belief that the 23S had struck Arm

LEG BONES WITH RED TAG
FOUND BESIDE RAILROAD

SOUTH BEND, Ind. February 10
Leg homes, evidently from the body
OF a child were discovered in the
northwest part Of the city today, ac-
compa MED by tag which indicates
a gruesome brand of humor by the
person who wrote it,
The red tag was inscribed as fol
lows:
Merry Christmas to Jimmy from
Russ.
''P. s.---Jin, this Is the last man
that talked back"
The lower part of the card was
torn off.
Police believe the bones were thrown
from passing train. They were dis
