Theater Installment Plan.

THERE Is probably small chance that
! the bigger amusement centers Of
America win follow London's example
by retailing theater seats on the INSTALL
ment plan. Certain London houses are
now selling seats for shilling down
and a shilling a week for six weeks.
Certainly this scheme VIII never f'nd
a welcome In stock circles.
THE plan looks ridiculous at first
glance" says Manager Cochran Of the
National Players, but theater prices In
London are invariably higher than they
are over here, and some concession must
be made to get people In the play
houses. There Is no demand for any
such privilege here; AT dollar top
our prices for Summer stock are at
rock bottom. and 1t would be ruinous
To extend credit for so little charge" :"
The English plan calls for reserVing
seats six weeks In advance, SO that
when the patron calls for his seats they
are already paid for. The theater takes
no risk other than the salary Of an ex-
ira boOkkeeper. IT differs from the
usual credit plan In that the customer
hasn't the privilege OF getting his money
back IL not satisfied. His seats are paid
for when the curtain rises. and II he
happens not 10 like the show, 1t is his
own bad luck.

lands SPEAKS HERE
Addresses Traffic Club,
Ohio Valley Shippers.

Frederick Lands, LoganSport
editor, addressed Indianapolis Traf-
flc Club and the Ohio Valley Ship
pers' Advisory Board at banquet
given by the Traffic Club at the
Claypool Tuesday.
The banquet was the closing event
Of the Ohio Valley Shippers Ad-
visory Board quarterly conference.
Lands, defeated for the Republican
nomination for Governor, urged a
return to old-fashioned ideals and
honesty in politics.
Lands called attention to the fact
that Indiana was not alone a suf-
ferer from political corruption: that
eight other States had recently had
similar troubles, and the condition
of politics was generally one of
"cowardice and equivocation.
The Baltimore e. Ohio Glee Club
Of Baltimore, Md, presented a mu-
steal program, assisted by Mrs.
Hilda Hopkins Burke of the Chi
cago Civic Opera.
The advisory board held its bust
ness session Tuesday morning. Re-
ports of committees regarding ship
ping conditions, and information on
shipping compiled by nineteen rail-
roads we're reported to the shippers.
An optimistic trend for the next
quarters business was forecast.

FLOOD WATERS
GUST HOLSTERS
Twenty Families Leave
Homes at Madison.

Heavy rains in the past four days
have caused flood conditions in two
sections of Indiana.
Twenty families have been forced
from their homes at Madison, due
to overflow of Crooked creek. A
State bridge and fill under construc-
ton have been badly damaged by
the creek waters.
Easements OF several homes at
Anderson are flooded, White river,
Fall and Kilbuck creeks having
overf1owed their banks. The COM
bined rainfall for Monday and
Tuesday was 2.39 inches.
High waters were reported to-
day on some smaller streams over
the State, but most larger streams
we're well below flood stage, accord
ing to j. H. Arlington, United
States Weather Bureau head.
White River here is at 10 feet,
feet below flood stage, he said.
Heavy wind accompanying rain
in Delaware County blew down
poles on the Union Traction line
between Selma and Farmland, pre-
venting operation of cars beyond
the former place. Buses gave
service to passengers. Telephones
in Muncie were put out of commits
sion.
Snow flurries were reported at
Farmland and Redkey.

Defeat Party That Elects
obiectionaI Officials,
Democrats Told.

"The only way to administer a
just rebuke for malfeasance in Of
flee is to defeat the party that elects
Objectionable public officials" de-
clared Lew M. O'Bannon, of Cory
don, permanent chairman of the
Democratic State convention in
Cadle Tabernacle today, in insisting
that responsibility for corruption in
the present Republican State ad-
miniStration be placed squarely
upon the Republican party.
OBannon extolled the Industrious
achievements of many of Indiana
Democratic Governors, Congress-
men and Senators, notable among
them Mcdonald, Voorhees,, Hen
bricks, Kerr, Matthews, Turpie,
Kern, Shively, Taggart, Marshall
and RalSton," and paid high compli-
ment to Albert Stump, the Demo-
cratic senatorial nominee, and
Evans Woollen, "favorite son" can
didate for the presidential nominal
ton.
But things have changed, and
changed radically" O'Bannon said,
both at Indianapolis and at Wash
ington during the past eight years,
and the people mourn the passing
of such honest, competent govern
ment.
"At Washington we have seen
graft and wholesale corruption in
the highest offices of the Govern
ment. Even invading the sacred
precincts of the Department of JUS
tice which have robbed the people of
hundreds of millions of their prop
erty and undermined their con-
fidence in our public officials
"At Indianapolis it has been even
worse, if possible, criminal charges
and court convictions taking the
range.
1.-THE only thing I know to say
about the sorry situation is that we
will pray for our erring brothers,
permit them to be thankful for the
statute of limitations and refer them
to the passage of Scripture, Cease
to do evil, learn to do WE'LL"

PROSECUTOR TO
FIGHT KLINCK
TRIAL DELAY
30-Day Continuance Is
Asked by Motion in
Criminal Court.

Declaring that the defendant
cannot safely enter trial" with Al
Sanders, former Evansville, Ind,
editor, and United States Senator
James E. Watson absent from the
State, Attorney Howard D. Phillips
today filed a formal motion for a
thirty-day continuance of the trial
of Earl Klinck, Evansville, former
lieutenant of D. G. Stephenson.
The motion as filed in Criminal
Court before Special Judge Thomas
Garvin. Trial is set for Thursday.
Arguments were to be heard this
afternoon. Prosecutor William H
Remy and Special Prosecutor Ems
ley w. johnson announced they
would resist continuance.
Plot Was Charged
Klinck is charged with being an
accessory to the false use of no
tary'S seal. An indictment alleges
he was responsible for the prepara-
ton and presentation to Federal
grand jury of forged affidavit in
an attempt to have Boyd Gurley,
editor of The Indianapolis Times,
and Thomas H. Adams, editor of
the Vincennes Commercial, indicted
in the heat Of the Indiana political
corruption inquiry.
The name of William Rogers, au-
tomobile salesman, was signed to
the affidavit. which purported to say
that Rogers had been paid by Cur
ley and Adams to testify before
United States Senator James Reed
that he had seen Senator Watson's
imperial council Ku-Klux Khan
membership card.
Effort Fell Flat
The effort to get the editors in
dicted fell fiat when it was shown
that the wrong middle initial had
been forged in the Rogers sigma
ture.
Phillips announced Tuesday that
he would file the motion for con-
tinuance, declaring that Senator
Watson had requested him to do it
so he could come here to testify
for Klinck after the Republican
national convention at Kansas City
is over. Watson is in Kansas City
attempting to make Roadway in his
campaig for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination.
The motion for continuance de-
clares that Sanders is believed to
be in San Francisco, Cal, and that
he can be located and induced to
come here for the trial within thirty
days. 1t says, that the defendant
believes Sanders will testify he saw
Klinck give Rogers the affidavit in
question. and Rogers return it to
Klinck signed.
Vans Watson to Testify
The motion says Watson will
testify as to the veracity of Rogers,
and that "he at no time had any
conversation with Rogers at Wash
ington in reference to che affi-
davit or to any of the facts testi-
fed to by the said Rogers before
the Reed investigating committee,
and further will testify that he
never at any time held any docu-
mentS of the Ku-Klux Khan"
Special Prosecutor johnson indi-
Gated opposition to the motion
would be based upon failure to COM
ply with the statutory form, that
there is no reasonable expectation
Sanders will be found and no decla-
ration as to whether Watson would
say Rogers reputation for veracity
is good or bad.
