KLAN DEMANDS
Charges KIuxerS Sought
State Fund Contrc!.

How the Ku-Klux Klan attempted
to control all State purchases, in
Guiding the millions spent by the
State highway department, was told
by Highway Director John D. Will
liamS in deposition taken today at
the attorney generals office.
The deposition is one of a series
to be used by Attorney General
Arthur L. GilliCm in attempting to
GUST the Klan from Indiana.
William related a conversation in
the office of State Auditor L. S.
Bowman in 1926, in which Walter
Bossert, then Klan dragon, declared
the Klan had spent $4,000 in the
1924 elections and should control
all purchases made by the State.
Williams testified he was not a
Klansman, never had been and would
not accede to such demands. Attor-
ney Fred Cause, former Supreme
Court judge, took the deposition. It
was announced that others will be
taken, including one from D. G. Ste
phenson.

ELEVATED SYSTEM
BACKED BY MAYOR

Revision Of the citys transporta-
ton system with the view of paw
ing the way for a double track
rapid transit loop around the bus
inesS district, was favored today by
Mayor L. Ert Slack.
at is time we are thinking about
an elevated rapid transit system for
Indianapolis, Slack said.
There are too many bus and
street car lines on the north side.
Two short blocks west of Central
Ave. car line is the Alabama ST..
car line. Another block west is the
Delaware st. bus routes, with the
Pennsylvania line another block
west.
There should be q careful study
of the routing from an unselfiSh
standpoint. Traffic is tied up at
Thirtieth and Delaware Sts, where
from one to four busses are parked.
The street there is not adapted for
buses.
"The Pennsylvania ST. extension
from Sixteenth st. to Twenty-Sec-
ond st. is practically useless for
anything except street cars.
ALAS, there is no need ,of dump
ing every one on Washington ST."
Slack expressed the belief that
transportation company officials
should plan for the rapid transit

Indy PLANNING
ATLANTIC DASH
Ocean Flight in Four Hops
Is Program.
BIZ United Press


WASHINGTON, May 1.-Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh has completed
his plans for a flight across the
Atlantic and an aerial tour of Eu-
rope and probably Asia this sum-
mer, it became known here today.
The trans-oceanic flight will be
made In four hops and will follow
a far northern route. The hop-off
from the North American continent
probably will be made from St.
Johns, Newfoundland, early in June.
The flight will be made in a Ford
tri-motored, all-metal airplane.
Formal announcement of the
fight may await the return to this
country of Henry Ford, who now
is in Europe.
According to these plans, Lind
bergh will stop in Greenland, Ice
land and at Croydon, England, be-
fore starting on his tour of Europe.
The airman spent several months
gathering information concerning
flying conditions and landing fields
in Greenland and Iceland.
The other half of "We"-Lind-
bergh's famous Spirit OF st.
Louis-rested at Boiling Field to-
day, its short but busy career
ended in a blaze of triumph.
Lindbergh on landing said he ex-
pected to confer with Smithsonian
institution officials today or Tomor-
row, with a view to placing the
airplane in a Smithsonian build
ing, SO that pOsterity may see it.

SHUNAKER SURRENDERS AT
SOUTH BEND, POSTS BOND;
WARRANT IS EVADED HERE.
Kok0mo Candidates Ire Is
Reused: Threatens to
File Suit.
DENIES WET CHARGE
Anti-SaIoon Leader Also Is
ASSaiIed in Letter
From Sheriff.

Another prosecution of the Rev.
E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of
the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, be-
cause of his listing of primary elec-
ton candidates in the American Is
sue, was threatened today.
O. G. Phillips, Kokomo, candidate
for Republican nomination for State
Representative from Howard Coun-
ty, who was listed as wet by Shu-
maker, was reported in a United
Press dispatch to be considering the
filing of an affidavit charging Shut
maker with violation of the currupt
practices law, on the same grounds
as those used by Attorney General
Arthur L. Gilliom.
Phillips contends Shumaker
falsely listed him.
Shumaker was raped from still
another direction today.
Blasted in Letter
"If you still can sleep with a
clear conscience, I am afraid even
Satan will bar you," declared Bax-
ter Plew, sheriff of Sullivan
County and secretary of the Indiana
Sheriffs' Association, in an open let
ter to Shumaker.
Plew took Shumaker to task for
his listing of Luther Keene, can
didate for denomination for Sulli-
van County sheriff, as "wet" in the
recent issue of the American Issue,
and for denouncing Plew from the
pulpit of the Shelburn Gnd0 Meth
odist Church.
Plew said Shun1aker said that
Keene's record as sheriff was bad
compared with that of his predeces-
sor, Newman Guy.

absolutely false statements" wrote
Plew.

The record cited shows Keene
made pit liquor arrests in 1927, as
compared with 1913 by Guy, Shu-
makers favorite, in 1926.
1t also sets out that Guy left 143
warrants unserved at the end of
1926, as compared with four un-
served by Keene in 1927.

Continental Deal Not Made
for Political Purposes,
PTOberS Told. .
EXPLAINS HAYS BONDS
Merely Paid From Vault
With Many Other SeCuri-
ties, Magnate Claims.
BY PAUL r. MALLON


WASHINGTON, May Harry
F. Sinclair's own story, withheld
during his trial on a Government
conspiracy charge because he did
not testify, today was told TO the
Senate Teapot Dome Committee.
Sinclair said he knew nothing of
the mysterious Continental Trading
Company; admitted that he got
S75700O out of that company's
strange deal and disclosed that
after his acquittal here ten days ago,
he turned his whole share back to
the Sinclair Crude Oil PURCHASING
Company with 3 per cent interest
amounting to $4,000.
The oil magnate also offered an
explanation Of why he gave Con-
tinental Trading Company Liberty
bonds to former Secretary of the
Interior Fall and Will Hays. former
Republican national chairman.
The Continental bonds were de-
posted with a lot of other bonds
and that was why they were given
to Fall and Hays, he said. Hays
had testified he used the bonds to
pay off part Of the 1920 Republican
deficit.
Got Bonds as Commission
Sinclair claimed entire innocence
of the organization of the Conti-
mental Trading Company. He de-
scribed his part in the deal from
which came the bonds as merely
an effort to buy oil.
Thus Sinclair revealed he acted
just as did the other three oil men
involved in the -year-old deal.
Robert w. Stewart, chairman of
the Standard Oil Company of In
diana, testified last week he got
$759500 Of the profits and recently
turned them back to his company.
and the other two, II. M. Blackmer
and James E. O'Neil, also returned
their one-fourth shares.
"The bonds were given to me as
a commission for my company by
Blackmer," Sinclair said. "I don't
know whether they are the bonds I
gave to Hays and M. T. Everhart
(for FalD.
Il didn't know them and don't
know now that the bonds I gave
them are the bonds I received from
Blackmer."
Straight Business Deal
Sinclair's whole testimony was de-
signed to SHOW that the Continental
Trading Company had not been
formed by him to secret a political
fund but that it was a straight
business deal.
He admitted he had not clipped
coupons from the Continental bonds
He said Blackmer had asked him
not to.
"Blackmer told me he would pre-
fer that the contract be not men
ticned and that these bonds be
held" he said.
That's a queer kind of conver-
sation," Walsh commented.
well, he said he would prefer
that I say nothing about his COM
mission" Sinclair said.
Il did not ask him for a reason.
But might say I did not carry out

This Week.

COMMISSION VIII name CHAIRMAN
This Week.
The public service commission will
hold the annual election of chair
man some time this week, Chairman
Frank T. Singleton announced to-
day.
1t had been reported that the
commission would wait until after
July when Singleton's term expires,
to see whether Or not Governor
Jackson reappointed him.
The election ordinarily is held
May l, but absence Of Commissioner
Calvin Mcintosh today caused delay,
Reappointment of Singleton has
been regarded as doubtful due to a
report in political circles that jack
son would like to name his Sec
retary, Pliny Wolfard, for Single
tons post, thereby giving Wolfard a
job after jackson goes out of Office.

Dry Chief Goes Quietly to
Northern City for His
Arrest.
PLEA SET FOR FRIDAY
Wants Trial in Hurry and
GiIIiom Asserts He Is J
Ready.

The Rev. Edward S. Shunaker.
superintendent of the Indiana
Anti-Saloon League, today avoided
the ignominy of arrest here and a
trip as a common prisoner to South
Bend, Ind, by quietly slipping to
that city with his lawyer, James
Bingham, Sr., surrendering, and
providing $1,000 bond.
Shumaker submitted to arrest
upon warrant issued upon At
torney General Arthur L. Gilliom'S
affidavit charging violation of the
corrupt practice act. Gilliom, can
didate for Republican nomination
for United States Senator, alleges
Shumaker falsely listed him as wet
of record in the current issue of
THE American Issue"
Circuit Judge Byron Pattee was
out of South Bend, so Shumaker
could not be Immediately arraigned,
according to a United Press dis
patch.
Enters Plea Friday
The dry leader will enter his plea
Friday, it tentatively was agreed. At
torneys are expected to agree upon
a trial at that time.
Shumaker's attorneys expressed
wish for an early trial, according
to the United Press dispatch.
Gilliom, from his office here, i'm
mediately declared that he was 90
eager for an early trial that he
would cancel campaign speaking en-
gagements, if necessary, to press the
case.
Shunaker and Bingham appeared
in South Bend without advance
notice about 9:30 this morning, 60
ing directly to the sheriiff's office.
After he had heard the reading of
the warrant his attorneys held a
conference of several minutes with
the prosecutor.
Pastors Sign Bond
His bond was signed by the Rev.
Albert E. Monger, the Rev. M. w,
Sunderman, the Rev. Earl Els
worth, Marvin Campbell, d. d.
Bowsher and w. B. Schaefer, oil of
South Bend. The last three were
manufacturers.
Then Shumaker started back to
Indianapolis.
Meanwhile, a warrant for Shu-
makeer's arrest had been placed in
the hands of Sheriff Omer Hawkins
here by Deputy Attorney General
Bernard Keltner.
Search for Shumaker in Indian
apolis was unavailing, his relatives
and Office attaches and those Of
Bingham making a mystery out of
the whereabouts of both. 1t was
not until the United Press dispatch
arrived that it definitely was known
Shumaker had resorted to the ruse.
If he had been arrested here, he
would have had to go to South Bend
to provide bond, technically as a
prisoner, if not in fact.
Thinks He Wins Friends
A statement attributed to Shu-
maker before he dropped out Of
SlgnJ reaQ.
Evidently I must be a barricade,
a handicap, and an obstacle to Ar
thur Gilliom. He singles me out
as he did before, when fifty-three
trustees became parties to the act,
yet none was arrested. Well-God's
will be done"
(Shumaker was referring to the
Anti-Saloon Leagu trustees who, he
says, were parties to his annual re-
port of 1925, upon which the Su-
preme Court contempt action was
baSed)
"Gilliom hasn't shaken confidence
among the church and dry forces
and since his last action against me
have made more friends among
such people than ever before. be-
lieve before this case is through I
will have made still more"
