SHUMAKER AND ROBINSON

A statement attributed to Sena-
tor Arthur r. Robinson, regarding
the statement. IN Senator James z.
Watson's letter to the Rev. F. S.
Shumaker that Robinson had asked
him, in so far as he consistently
could to help keep Shumaker out
of JAIL, reads:
MY only conversation with Sena-
tor Watson at Washington concern
ing the Shumaker case was to ex-
press my sincere sympathy for DR..
Shumaker and to discuss its effect
on the Republican party.
early in August, 1926, DR.. Shu-
maker came to my home and said
in substance that, while ne did not
desire to influence the decision of
the court, he would like to have it
decide his case at an early date.
ST told him that could do moth
ing in the matter, and he asked
me if would call Senator Watson
and tell him how he felt. This !
did, and after reamhing the Sena-
tor asked him to talk TO Shumaker
personally. He did this and, of
course, I do not know what conver-
-sation took place between them"
Shumaker issued this statement:
"I called on Senator Robinson at
his home to protest against the de-
lay in the decision of the csse (the
contempt case pending in the
Supreme Court and expressed the
belief that Arthur Gilliom was hold
ing this over my head like club
to prevent me from making any
recommendations for the Supreme
Court during the campaign.
1T was then that be called
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-09-17

Gilliom's action is based
upon a letter of Shumaker to
Watson Of Aus. 6, 1926, and a
reply of Watson Of Aug. s,
1926.
These letters have been in the
possession of The Times. but pub
lication has been withheld out of
respect for Senator Watson, who is
i'll at the Mayo Brothers Sanitariurn
at Rochester, MINI.
Gilliom acted Immediately upon
publication of these letters this
morning.
Calls Senator Watson
The Shumaker letter and a state
ment issued by Ehumaker show
that on the night of Aug. 5, when
the Shumaker contempt case was
perding in Supreme Court, Shu-
maker talked with Watson by long
distance telephone.
Watson was at Lake Wawasee,
Ind.
Shumaker says In the letter that
Watson had said to him over the
telephone that the Supreme Court
was going to postpone action in the
Shumaker case until after the elec-
ton Tin November) and that then
the court was going to find Shu-
maker guilty, but give him only a
fine.
Shumaker wrote that he did not
believe the Republican party
would get any particular benefit
from the postponement of blow Of
this character until after the elec-
ton without being responsible for
the same"
Alleges misunderstanding
The reply of Watson is to the ef-
feet that Shumaker must have mis-
understood him over the telephone;
that he was talking from bridge
party at the residence of Henry
Lane Wilson, and that he had not
promised that the Supreme Court
would postpone the case until after
election and then merely fine Shu-
maker, but that he merely had made
comments upon this line based upon
talk he had heard there, there and
yonder."
Watson's letter contains this
statement:
when Arthur Robinson came to
me at Washington and talked to
me about this, he said to me that
he was exceedingly anxious for me
to work in my own way, as far as
I felt I consistently could with my
views in regard to courts, to keep
you from being sert to Jail.
Writes Several Letters
II wrote number of letters
through Indiana that I hoped might
be helpful in bringing about such a
conclusion"
Watson declared that he had not
written to any Supreme Court
judges, however.
Watson concluded with a request
for conference with Shumaker
when he reached Indianapolis.
Gilliom's intention to delve into
the interest of Robinson and Watson
in the Shumaker case was indicated
by his listing of these men, Wilson,
Walb and Gurley as witnesses.
Gurley has made the charge,
through The Times editorial
columns, that there was undue in
terest in judicial proceedings upon
the part of the two Senators and
Robinson has demanded p retrac-
ton.
The Times refused to retract, ask
ing the Senator if he had forgotten
what had happened upon dates
which are identical with tt of the
Shumaker- Watson correspondence.
Senator in Sanitariun
Watson is at the Mayo Brothers
Sanitarium at Rochester, MINI, for
treatment for stomach ulcers.

Through tie Static

Personally. we didn't think much Of last evening and we didn't think much of last evening, either, for 1 that matter. There was plenty of static, together with an odd assort-
 ment of noises, a conglomeration
 that defies description. There were
 whines, groans, buzzes, whines and
 groans, not to mention groans. 1 There seemed to be plenty of vol l ume, although the presence of a 1 buzz on the dials during most Of the
 evening prevented us from taking advantage of it.
 i At one time, on the low waves somewhere, we heard three stations all at the same time. A dance orch estra was playing. an announcer was telling about future programs and somebody was singing. Can you imagine that? All at che time! That's the way it's been on the low waves, so we expect most anything
 down there.
 Dave Harmon and his orchestra of Pittsburgh provided dance music at WBZ, Springfield, letting us hear "One Sweet Letter From You" as a vocal solo by himself .Th ,a the band played Lane in Spain" 'Tiger Rag" Hes The Last Word" and "Orien- tale" That band is one hot combina- lion and that's certainty. Dave,

! himself, is possessed of an excellent voice for singing popular songs, SC : the organization gets along well with itself.
 i WGY was loud all evening and we heard several sweetly pllred waltzes | during the dinner music period [ Later on, the WGY orchestra played musical comedy selections, for want of something better to do. WNJ, Newark, made its appear ance, for no reason at all an instru- mental trio presenting "Sa antiago," a Spanish waltz. The number was well done and we suppose the station will stay on the quiet for the next Six months. We don't hear it very often. David, Play on Your Harp" was one of the selections on the pro- gram of negro spirituals, presented by the Hampton Institute male quar- tet from VICES. New York. The station maintained steady wave and the music was good.
 We stopped at WPG, Atlantic City. 10 see how the folks were and we found that a program Of request Sc ections was being played on an or gan. 'I Love You" was one of the numbers and we blushei with em- barrassment.
 WJAR, Providence, came through loud, with program from WEAF. Then, at Il o'clock, we ran over to WGJ.. where Frank Farrells orches- tra, also from WEAF, was providing dance tunes for the folks up Sche- nectady way. The band made 'em hop around to the strains Of "At sundown" and Sometimes I'm Hap py." WTAM, Cleveland, came through loud, after it's vacation Of the night before, offering a dramatic soprano and static.
 That's all for today, thanks!

There is no reason why anyone should suffer another day with pain. full, swollen stingy, perspring feet. or foot torture of any kind. when a large package of Ego can be had at Fair Dept. Store or any druggist for only a few cents.
 Not a powder, mind you. to clos the pores, but soothing, healing. antiseptic. purified ointment that quickly drives out the cause of all painful inflammation.
 If your feet hurt, you limp. and every step is torture: give them an Ego rub tonight and immediately enjoy blessed relief. Use Ego for tired, stingy. sweaty feet-use 1t to take out all the agony from those painful callouses and bunions. You will not be disappointed. Ego is tho one sure and speedy maker of hap. py feet.

Watts, Cal, May 20.-A 5O-foot backyard is a gold fish factory for Mrs. Anna G. Gray, who once kept few pets in one glass bowl and since her first experiment in breed ing, has built up a market for 12,000 goldfish, 130.o0O snails and 2,5oO later lilies annually.
 She has developed an infinite variety of fish strains, through in terbreeding. The results show fish of silver and gold tones, some striped with black, others spotted. Some are totally black with only glints of the virginal gold tone.
 The raising of snails was a by product Of her first hatchery. The scum accumulated at the bottom of the tanks is used for their food, and the srails. in turn, sold to gar deners as scavengers.
