INDIANA BRIBERY
QUIZ TO CONTINUE
Resignation of Prosecutor
Will Not Halt Inquiry-Gov-
ernor and Others Indicted.
Hv the Associated Press.

INDIANAPOLIS. November IL
The Marion County grand Jury VIII
continue its probe into alleged political
corruption in Indiana for some time
to come, it was said at the courthouse
today. :,
When John ". Hoffman, one OF
the special prosecutors, appointed last
April. announced last night that ne
would end his work this week TO be-
come city corporation counsel, 1t was
generally understood that the inquiry,
which began 13 months ago. was at
an end It was said today, however.
that Mr.. Hoffman merely would file
with the court a formal report or ms
own activities and that the grand
Jurors would continue their work.
Mr.. Holtzman was appointed city
cornoration counsel last night by
Mayor l.. Ert Slack. 1t was the first
appointment made by the new mayor.
who took office last Tuesday. HoltZ-
man, like Slack, is a Democrat. He
was mayor many years ago.
In partial reports returned during
the past few months, indictments were
returned against State and city Off
cials and politicians, including Gov.
Ed Jackson. The governor was named
with Robert I. Marsh, attorney, and
George V. Coffin, Marion County Re
publican chairman, with attempting to
bribe former Gov. Warren T. McCraE
to appoint a man of their selection as
Marion County prosecutor when that
office became vacant while McCray
was governor.
Former Mayor John l.. Duvall of
Indianapolis also was indicted ana
charged with making corrupt cam
paign promises. Duvall, however. had
been named previously in aff1davits
fled by the special prosecutors with
practically the same offenses and was
later found guilty. He was sentenced
to 30 days in Jail and fined 81 900, but
an appeal is pending.
The investigation, which was car
ried through three grand juries. also
resulted in the returning of indict-
ments against several members of the
Duvall administration, none Of whom
has yet been brought to trial.
What the final report of the grand
jury will be is problematical.

BURTON HOLMES.

Burton Holmes opened his thirty
fifth annual lecture tour yesterday
afternoon at the National Theater
with the first OF a course of new travel
revues, which he described and pic.
tured as Happy Hawaii"
From the harbor, where ships pas
eengers were greeted with confetti and
garlanded with gay-colored leis. to the
last homeward bound farewell, the
tour through the paradise Of the
Pacific" was q panorama Of scenic
beauty. to which was added the human
charm Of laughter, dances. the hula
hula, old and new style, and an ever.
tinkle Of ukuleles and lightsome song.
The women, pretty, and in most cases
winsOmely shy: the near bronze men,
picturesque, and children, who seemed
to be always at play, either in school
gymnasiums and Fairgrounds or in
the jungles of island groups-at home
alike on land or tumbling among the
breakers of a frothing, green-blue sea.
A stroll through the streets of Homo
lulu amazed the lecturer with the
transformation made by America n
progress, though the gilded statue of
once King Kamehameha has at least
one camera-snapped worshiper who
has stood his loyal vigil before the
figure for more than 30 years. The
American flag Is a dominating color.
and IL is evident that Christianity has
conquered the islands; still there Is q
Young Mems Buddhist Association
and many Japanese. There is a kin.
dergarten festival of children of 20
races, and ''the glorious sport of surf
ing" is depicted in motion pictures,
board and canoe riding in and out of
breakers on the beach at WAIKIKI.
Part two takes the audience 10

Of seemingly barren stone, whose in

WOMAN CLEANERS BARRED
FROM JUDGES CHAMBERS
Former Soldiers Took Care of Lon
don Judicial Halls Even
During War.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON.-Women are taking up
positions in almost every sphere OF
life hitherto monopolized by men.
but there is one place in the heart of
London where no woman is ever al
lowed.
This place Is judicial chambers In
the Law Courts. The work is done by
former soldiers and during the gen.
eral cleanup preparatory to reopen
ing Of the courts this week one of
them told an inquirer mo woman
is ever allowed to clean out judges
room, or his library or his court. Not
likely"
Before the war the thousands of
rooms and four and half miles of
corridors were kept by men only. Dur
ing the war period certain number
Of women were taken on, but these
have been reduced to about 90 and
the rest of the work is divided be-
tween 80 male workers or ushers as
they are called.
Even during the war period women
were not allowed to enter the sacred
precincts Of a judges room and the
flowers in the vases, the curtains and
other little domestic details were all
done by the hands Of male ushers.

ECHOES FILL HALL.
Chaliapin's Audience Gets More
Than Moneys Worth.

Correspondents Of the Associated Press.
LONDON. Audiences got more
than they paid for at Chaliapin's sea-
son in the reconstructed Albert Hall.
They heard two Chaliapins, and some
times more. because of the echoes.
Charles B. Cochran has had the
great hall reconstructed in such a
manner that opera may he presented
there, but the hall now has more
echoes than the Mammoth Cave Of
Kentucky and in some parts the
acoustics are so bad that only sounds
reverberating from the gallery were
audible. The seating capacity Of the
building is about 5000. and Chaliapin
filled It to capacity for his perform.

The annual grange "rodeo" which
was the outcome of a kind of a
merger of the usual Thanksgiving
feast and Christmas dinner, held at
the hall last Thursday, was, from
our point of observation quite an
enjoyable community affair. 1t
was also the occasion of. the in
stallation of officers for the en-
suing year. There had been some
talk about importing some ''higher
!. up official to put on this work,
but when our neighbor and fellow
patron, j. G. Dickinson, threw off
his coat, rolled up his sleeves and
spit on his hands and waded in
with the able assistance of our
worthy lecturer. we concluded that
no Spanish hidalgo was needed for
the job AS to the dinner it must
have been about the last word in
the culinary art. If there was an
individual at the table with an
epfcurean inclination whose one
great temptation was to break
away from all self-restraint and al
to go on rampage of gormandiz-
ing, surely the stuff was there to
work on. If any serious or un-
pleasant results have followed this
feast of good things, we do not
know it. One thing in evidence
that we are glad to note and that
was the good Christmas spirit
which prevailed. If there was any
one present with crouch he or she
kept it well concealed. Altogether
it was an occasion when those who
staid at home, missed good thing.
Many of our young folks, am
bilious to make some mark in the
world, scatter out in various voca-
tions and avocation of life; some
are teachers, some are students,
all desirous to be useful. Some are
many miles from here-we are glad
for the periodical occasions, partic-
ularly Christmas, that brings many
of them home, and we can meet
and greet them. When this ap-

General Assembly Meets

The S6th general assembly whlcn
has been in recess for almost two
years is in session again. Or ii was
Monday. but not for the transaction
of any business except to hear few
reports. Next week the members
of the 87th come to Columbus to
begin their work and just how long
they will be here Is a problem. Some
want to make the session a short
one and then adjourn sine die. But
with important taxation issues be-
fore them it is probable that it will
be around the palmy days of May
before they get through. The state
revenues must be increased and just
how this is to be done is one of the
most difficult problems of the gen
eral assembly. Governor Vic Don
ahey will present his message next
week. 1t is to be brief and to the
point, and he may point the way to
solving the taxation question. H..
has been giving the matter con-
siderable thought and because of
this fact there is much interest in
his message. 1t is expected to be
short, and others will be submitted
as occasion requires during the ses-
sion. Inauguration ceremonies next
+, Monday are to be very simple, and
no money will be taken from the
state treasury to meet the expenses
this being at the order Of Governor
Donahey who enters his third
term.

COLUMBUS LETTER
(By Chas. w. Rife
Oppose Gasoline Tax Increase

|
If any attempt is made to in
crease the present gasoline tax, as
has been suggested, the members of
| the general assembly will find
united opposition. Chas c. James,
secretary of the Ohio State Automo-
/ bile association, said that every au
! tomobile association in the state
would oppose the proposed increase
from two to four cents per gallon
| on gasoline. ''The present law is
providing ample funds for the main
tenance of highways" Mr.. James
said, Sin fact too much for some of
the municipalities of the state, and
the money is being used for other
purposes. A tax of four cents per
gallon on gasoline would be entire
ly unfair to auto owners, and our
association will do it's utmost to de-
feat such measure should it come
before the general assembly. Ohio
auto owners today are contributing
more than $35 100000 annually in
taxes under existing laws, and any
increase of this burden must be con-
strued as an attempt on the part of
other interests to divert a part of
| their just share of supporting the
state government. "The suggested
plan of using part of the gas tax
money for the building of new roads
will also be opposed by the state as
sociation, Mr.. James said, declaring
that such plan forces the burden
of the improvement upon one class
of citizens while the improvement
| benefits another class entirely"

Ruling of the attorney general to
the effect that the cost of services in
cases of garnishment where the sal
ary for services is garnished, cannot
under any circumstances exceed
$3.50, will tend to lessen the num-
ber of such cases in the opinion of
attorneys. In many cases the costs
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1927-01-06

are too often vital consideration
In such cases, and II has been re-
ported that many times they
amount TO more than the claim in
volved. Ruling Of the attorney gen
eral is to the effect that the total
costs, including the justice of the
peace, as well as all constable fees,
shall not exceed total of $3.50.
