STEVE REPORT
Probe Made Following
Cruelty Charges.

The State Board of Charities
turned over to Governor Jackson to-
day its report on charges that D. G.
Stephenson was cruelty treated at
Indiana State prison, where he is
serving life sentence for murder.
1t is believed that the report
denies the truth Of the charges
that Stephenson was the victim Of
a plot inspired by Klan Wizard
Hiram Evans and involving Warden
Walter H. DAILY and Prison Trustee
John Moorman.
"That wouldn't be far wrong"
said w. H. Eichhorn, Bluffton, when
asked if the report would exonerate
DAILY and Moorman.
The charges we're made in petit
ton asking Stephenson be paroled
for ninety days.

trustees. Trustee Michael Foley
said it would be made public when
the board meets on the Stephenson

the Fokker left the field.
They were instructed to escort the
Hawaii fiers ten miles to sea.
Through the night hundreds OF
persons gathered at the Oakland
flying field to watch the take-off.
Crowd Waits Patiently
Despite an announcement that
there was no chance of the f1iers
hopping off before daybreak, many
people remained outside the hangers
in the belief that an unexpected
move would be made in what has
become race from California and
Hawaii. It was quiet crowd.
Both Maitland and Smith retired
early, leaving instructions to be
called shortly after midnight, so
they could watch the final condi-
tioning of their planes. Both ex-
pressed confidence that their planes
would be able to span the uncharted
course between here and Wheeler
field at Honolulu.
Weather bureau officials said the
weather would be fine for the first
500 miles
Both planes were taken for test
flights yesterday. The army ship
was reported in excellent condition,

but flying field observers said that
one of the wings of Smiths mono
plane was bit too heavy.
Lieutenant Maitland is accompa-
MED on the record making flight by
Lieut.. Albert Hegenberger as navi-
gator. Smith has Charles H. Car
ter in his monoplane as navigator.
The army plane is a giant three
motored Fokker machine, flown to
the coast from Dayton, Ohio, by
Maitland and Hegenberger. Smiths
plane is smaller machine, but ca
pable of great speed.
The little "Travelair" nlonoplane
which Smith will fly appears like a
pigmy beside the giant three-mo-
tored Fokker machine of the Army.
Smiths machine, a rebuilt pas
senger plane, is equipped with a
Wright whirfwind motor and has
tremendous speed.
A study of the two planes shows
a decided contrast in preparations
for the hazardous journey over the
Pacific.

Cruiser Question Critical

BB United Press
GENEVA, June 28.-Undismayed
by its load of other troubles, the
naval limitation conference today
began consideration of the cruiser
program.
Next to the question of battle
ships, which Great Britain was try
ing to raise with Japanese support,
despite its absence from the pro-
gram, the cruiser question was the
most critical.
But with heads of the three dele
cations still arguing over other
problems, the technical commission
on cruises began active work.
Disagreement was expected to
arise early. Great Britain and ia
pan both thought their cruiser
needs greater than would be appor-
toned to them under the 5-5-3 ra-
ito, which grants equality to the
United States and Great Britain
and allows Japan so per cent OF
their strength.

Geneva Delegates Turn to

= WASHINGTON. June 2s.-Great
Britain was charged by high Ad-
ministration spokesman today with
trying to use the Geneva conference
to destroy the United States right,
under the Washington treaty, to
capital ship equality with the
British.
Britain has two warships of
$4,000 tons each-the Rodney and
Nelson-and by her proposals to
limit future building to $4,000 or
3o,000-ton ships would secure per-
manent supremacy over the Ameri-
can navy, whose largest ship is
$4,000 TONS" the spokesman said.
Because of this, and because the
Washington treaty provides for a
mandatory revision conference in
1881 by five powers, the United
States under no circumstances will
agree to the British capital ship
proposals, it was explained.

RAPID CITY, s.. D., June 28.-
President Coolidge does not intend
to take any part in discussion which
have arisen out of the Geneva dis
armament conference, 1t was made
clear at the summer White House
today.
He believes that American dele
gates at Geneva are entirely compe-
tent to make any announcements
concerning the position Of this

decline to comment.
There is nothing in the situation
at this time which would cause Sec
retary of State Kellogg and Secre-
tory of the Navy Wilbur to come out
here for conference, it was said.
Later both may come out.

Says Lease Holder Mu

County commissioners will b
dered to vacate the Detention III
225 E. Michigan ST., unless Oh -
to make the place safe for the
ems of children held therein are d
ried out within thirty days, st
Fire Marshal Alfred Hogston d k
clared today. W
Hogston also announced he wouis
give the city health board thirt
days more to vacate the old build,
ing at city hospital, condemned
months ago as a fire trap.
Recently Bought Lease,
County Commissioner President
Cassius L. Hogle said installation of
fire escapes and other repairs
ordered on the Detention Home are
up to Glenn B. Ralston, holder of a
ninety-nine year lease on the prop
erty. Hogle said the fire marshal
had receded somewhat from his Or
iginal requirements.
Ralston said he had bought the
lease from j. H. Davis only two
weeks ago and did not know what
the fire marshal requires, but as
soon as he receives the order off,
cially he will comply.
Point of Contention
The fact that Ralston now holds
the lease removes a point of conten-
ton over the Detention Home. Com
missioners were criticised because
they leased the building from Davis
through James Edwards, a county
councilman.
DR.. E. E. Padgett, health board
president, said the board has re-,
moved patients from all but two of
the wards in the old building and
Che order will be complied with long
before the thirty days are UP.
Plan to Comply
"Our idea is to comply absolute
ly with the fire marshals order"
said Padgett. "We moved some Of
fees around and by using space
gained this way and some in the
basement took care of most Of the
patients. The city school board is
giving us two portable school build
ings. One has been moved to the
hospital ground and the other will
be moved soon. When these are
set up we will completely vacate
the condemned building.
"Our permanent hospital en-
largement program calls for ample
modern buildings to handle all
patients. For months we have had
pending in city council an Or
dinance for a $1,700000 bond issue
with which to construct two ward
units, power plant and a service
building"
Councilmen who have held. up
this ordinance argue that 81 100000
is too high.
