trial DATE IS
SET AS FEB. I
States Demurrer Is Upheld
by Judge Montgomery in
Criminal Court.
MARSH is AT HEARING
Split Among Defendants is
RumOred; Delay Granted
on Defense Plea.

Governor Ed jackson and his CO.
defendants will be arraigned and 20
on trial in February in Criminal
Court on charge of conspiring to
bride former Governor Warren T.
McCray, unless further Defense
moves to escape trial change the
date.
He will 60 on trial in the same
court in which Governor McCray
faced a charge of embezzIement
nearly three years ago-March II.
1924.
Jackson, George v. Coffin, Re-
publican county chairman, and At
torney Robert I. Marsh are charged
With offering McCray $4,000 and a
promise he would not be convicted
IN any Indiana court if he would
name James E. Evans as Marion
County prosecutor.
McCray's Son-in-law, William p
Evans, was prosecutor and resigned
when the investigation of McCrav,s
financial affairs approached.
Feb. ] Is Trial Date
Feb. was picked as the trial date
late Monday, after Special Judge
oscar H. Montgomery sustained the
States demurrer to the defense plea
OF abatement, thus overruling the
abatement.
Judge Montgomery suggested the
arraignment and trial be set for
the same date and defense attor-
neys agreed.
Attorney Louis B. Ewbank, repre-
senting Jackson and Coffin, said the
defense did not desire trial before
Jan. /.
When Montgomery declared his
time in January would be taken I'D
with private affairs, the Feb. 7 date
was agreed on.
Marsh Is In Court
Marsh was in the courtroom
seated in the first row of spectators
seats, Immediately behind defense
counsels' table during the last half
hour of arguments.
His appearance was the first Of
any of the defendants in court dur
ing any of the legal scrimmages and
was rumored to indicate a split
among the defendants.
There is possibility he NAV ask
Tor separate trial, it was said.
Ewbank is not acting for Coffin
He has his own attorney, Charles
S. Wiltsie.
Clyde E. Jones, former public
service commissioner and former
law partner of jackson, made the
last defense plea, ending five hours
argument. Prosecutor William H.
Remy and Special Prosecutor Ems
Nley w. johnson had argued for the
State and Ewbank/ for the defense.
Contentious Not Important
In overruling the abatement plea.
montgomery pointed out that con-
tentions of the defense were not i'm
portant, because 1t is presumed that
Judge James A Collins and Remv
acted legally rather than in vio-
lat1on OF the law" in choosing jur-
orS.
Special Prosecutors Hoffman and
johnson were appointed legally and
exclusion of other persons from the
jury room was to prevent publicity
about the jurys activities, the court
said.
This was in reply to Ewbank's
averment that the special prosecu-
tors were retained to file afladvits
and not aid the grand jury.
There are no facts in the plea
that show the jurors were over
awed by the presence Of Hoffman
and johnson, as the defense con-
tends" Montgomery stated.

Christmas Booze Problem
Less Than In Former
Years, His Belief.

If anyone can slnuggle some holi-
day liquor past Federal agents and
police this year. he is welcome to do
it.
Deputy Prohibition Administrators
George L. Winkler is going to throw
no more bars In their way than
those kept up the year around ana
besides, If booze does get past, it
will be Of such quality that the
morning after feeling will be pun
ishment enough.
There were conclusions drawn
from Winkler's declaration today
that he did not plan a Christmas
New Year drive on Volstead law
violators.
There is not a whole lot more
liquor flowing in around Christmas
and New Year." said Winkler. 1.-THE
reason probably is that there is so
little real whisky, wine, and beer
left. A few years ago the holiday
nqour problem was a real one. It's
not worth much particular atten-
ton now.
Regular Force on Job
"Of course our regular force will
watch the public and club Christ

fragrant violations.
Demand for so-called bonded
whisky in these parts has slumped
in the last few weeks, since Fed

apolis conf1scated tons upon tons Of
counterfeit labels and strip stamps,
demonstrating to the drinker that
he was not getting what he paid

FAIR PROFIT URGED
TO REPLACE BULK
National Business Confer
ence Hears Plea for Re-
search and Cooperation.
BY the Associated Press.

6y the Associated Press.
WELLESLEY, Mass. September
12.-The basic problem of sales man.
agement is how to obtain a fair profit
on every sale, rather than the main
tenance of high production volume
without regard for an adequate profit
return on invested capital, Charles
i. Abbott, executive director of the
American Institute Of Steel ConStruc-
ton, told the fourteenth annual ma
tiOnal business conference here today.
Modern competition is between
whole industries, not between indi-
vidual firms in an industry; competi-
ton of most moment TO the cotton
manufactures is the gains made by
silk. rayon and other substitutes.
Coal must compete with oil in the
domestic heating field. Steel must
struggle with concrete for the atten-
tion of the architect, while leather
faces a score of synthetic substitutes.
A Paradoxical Situation.
Almost no industry is free from the
menace. High-pressure salesmanship
has resulted and. generally speaking.
aggressive SaleSmanship is maintain
ing sales at a high level. but those
organizations most successful in that
respect frequently complain of un-
satisfactory returnS-a dropping off
AL HUN iuudI I'IpI4lS.
"lt is Il paradoNiCal Situa ton de-
clared Mr.. Abbott. where increased
sales mean diminishing profits.
In my opinion the ultimate re-
sponsibility rests upon the selfish de-
termination to get every order in
sight without regard to others or the
question of costs, and with practical
ly no regard to profit. 1t has been
too generally accepted that the plant
must be operated at capacity even
though the business is taken at a
loss.
Fair Distribution Urged.
''It was Judge Gary who always
advocated the spirit of live and let
live. A fair distribution of business.
with plants operating at 60 and 20
per cent. would transform destruc-
tive price war into an era of fair
profits for ALL
To meet the situation Mr.. Abbott
advocated selling policies fair to all
parties concerned; research to dis
cover. new uses for products: cultiva-
tion of old markets and new; sales
approach based on service the prod
uct will render rather than price per
unit aggressive selling methods, using
care in selection, training and super
vision of SaleSmen sales prices in
accordance with fundamental law of
costs. plus fair profit; well prepared
advertising and organization of in
dustry on cooperative basis in order
that it may undertake activities
which the individual concern may
not be in position to assume.

BOULEVARD ACTION URGED
House Committee Asked to Start
Hearings on Mt. Vernon Plan.

Strong pressure is being brought TO
bear on Chairman Dowell Of the
House committee OH roads for a hear
ing on the Moore bill, which provides
for a memorial boulevard from Wash
ington to Mount Vernon. In response
to directions from Congress the Bu-
reau OF Public Roads made a survey
and estimate Of cost for the proposed
boulevard, which has been laid before
Mr.. Dowell's committee.
Many members of Congress are
stressing the fact that in order TO
have the initial appropriation of
$1,000, 900 necessary for important
fills so that the entire boulevard may
be opened up at the time OF the cele-
bration of Washington's bicentennial
in 1882, action must be taken at
once.
There is strong sentiment in Con-
gress in favor Of completing the boule-
ward as the main feature OF the Gov
ernment's observance OF the 200th
anniversary Of Washington's birth.

With more than 500 delicately tinted
slides, produced over period of
nearly three years, Charles Colfax
Long, 1858 Massachusetts avenue, has
undertaken a new mission-to
acquaint the people of America with
the spiritual Washington that comes
to the observer only in fieeting.
shadowy glimpses from the stones of
memorials and the vistas of gardens.
This collection of pictures, made
under Mr.. Longs direction, Is the
result of collaboration between some
of the foremost photographers and
colorists of the city, and its sole
object is to portray the National
Capital as something alive with the
soul of America rather than as life
less collection Of buildings and parks.
1t seeks to portray the Washington
of fairy shadows, of red and yellow
tulips. of sunsets lingering over Ar
lington--the Washington to which the
shrine of the Unknown Soldier Is as
an eye filled with tears, the Washing.
ton of memorials that weep and
cathedrals that worship.
Other Pictures Lacked Soul.
Mr.. Long, retired engineer, got
his first inspiration for this collection
when he attended an exhibition Of
pictures of the Capital before one Of
the local civic bodies three years ago.
These pictures probably were the best
obtainable at the time but, as Mr..
Long says, he twas Disguised that the
City of the Nation should appear In
that way to the people,"
The pictures probably were techni-
cally correct--but the photographers
had not waited with infinite patience
for those fieeting moments when the
soulof the city appears. They repre-.
