CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-The Defend

to purify the nation of modernism
and evolution, today challenged
evolutionists and modernists to Of

Paul RAIDER. Chicago evangelist
and leader of the new fundamen-

reward of $1,000 to any one who

"Nine-tenths of the talk of the
evolutionists is sheer nonsense" Ra-

observation and is wholly unsup-

the Pithecanthropus, the Heidelberg

court CLEARS
U. 5. CASES IN
SPEEDY TIME:
Federal Tribunal Here Is
Remarkably Free of
Congestion.
FEW ACTIONS PENDING
Only 109 Now on Docket;
Delay Necessary in
Most of Them.

Congestion of federal courts, ad-
vanced by Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon as an argument against in
creasing the prohibition enforce
ment appropriation, does not apply
to federal court for the southern
district of Indiana.
Federal court here is in an un-
usually clear condition, with but few
criminal cases which could be tried
at this time on the docket.
Records of Albert Ward, district
attorney, show only 109 criminal
cases pending, of which few could
be tried now, except for several in
the Terre Haute, Evansville and
New Albany divisions, which will be
heard when Judge Robert C. Bait
zell visits these districts this spring.
Under the heading pending
cases" the district attorneys office
lists all criminal cases, including
those where defendants are fugi-
tives, where cases have been taken
under advisemnt by the court.
where defendants are in state penal
institutions, and cases where all but
one or two defendants have been
disposed of.
Several Still Fugitives
No case can be considered closed
until every defendant has been dis
posed of. An example of this is the
Ferracane liquor conspiracy case,
with ninety-nine defendants. more
than seventy of whom have been
sentenced. The other defendants
either are fugitives or have not been
removed from other districts.
The year ended June 80, 1928, was
started here with 1873 cases pending.
691 cases were terminated, of which
All were liquor cases, and lis cases
were pending at the close of the
year.
The year ended June 80, 1925, was
started with 98 cases pending, 264
were terminated, leaving 100 cases
pending at close of the year.
The following year, 264 cases were
terminated, of Which l05 were LIQUOR
cases. leaving 100 cases pending, in
cluding SO liquor cases.
The court terminated 264 cases in
the year ended June 80, 1927, of
which 1873 we're liquor cases, and
closed the year with 1873 cases pend
ing. A total of II liquor cases was
pending at the start of the year and
78 when the year closed.
124 Now Pending
Seventy-f1ve of the 691 cases car
ried in the records as terminated in
1928 were transferred to the new
court for the northern district of
Indiana.
Records now show only 124 civil
cases pending.
Back in the days when Indiana
vas dry and surrounding states wet
and it was federal offense to bring
liquor into Indiana, Federal Judge
A. B. Anderson used to dispose of
more than 1000 cases a year and
still take the regular two or three
months vacation in the summer.

U. S. rise DUE
TO HIGH PAY,
Miller SAYS
Banker Points Out Benefit
to All From Americas
Wage Standard.
BUILDERS HEAR SPEECH
Rearing of Huge Financial
and Industrial Power
Is Traced.

Americas industrial and financial
leadership of the world is traceable
directly to the high wage standard,
Dick Miller, president of the City
Trust Company and former presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce,
declared Thursday before the In
dianapolis Building Congress, at
luncheon in the Lincoln.
Miller talked on "a Bankers Con-
ception of Business in General and
the Building Industry in Particu-
lar"
Twenty-Five years ago, he said,
the two great corporations of thai
day, Standard Oil and American
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
were regarded as liabilities to the
wealth and future of the nation.
People regarded the great concen-
tration of capital needed to finance
these huge organizations from the
old socialistic viewpoint, that the
money and the control of business
were in the hands of very few,
and that the great mass of the pub
lie gradually was being caught un-
der the dictation of powerful finan-
ciers.
Business Grew by Leaps
Slowly the modern viewpoint Of
mass ownership gained ground and
he emphasized this point that great
organizations grew faster and faster
under the new thought of common
stock issues for financing business
projects,
The idea caught hold, he stated,
that America was as sound econom-
ically as it was possible to 'be. The
average American began to think
that to realize on the prosperity he
must own something. Preferred
stock and bond issues no longer
were the center of attention in dis
tributing money.
People we're not content with the
fixed income to be derived from
these issues; they wanted to be in
on the prosperity of the company
when it grew.
And in line with this, came the
new idea of the manufacturer. The
biggest men of industry began to
realize that prosperity would be un-
limited if they could create a mar
ket for their product.
Ford Boosted Wages
With this thought came the fixed
minimum of wages employed first
by Henry Ford in running his great
plants. In this way a complete
cycle of business was created. The
laborer received higher wages and
was able to afford things that had
been 1uxuries before. When the
! laborer bought, the manufacturer
benefited and the cycle was COM
pleted.
European capitalists have not
caught the American viewpoint of
higher wages and the larger money
cycle, Miller said, but when they do,
one of The worlds greatest eras of
prosperity will result.
He ended his talk with few
short statements to the builders as
Sembled, recommending that tE1ev
work earnestly for the betterment
of their trades. He stated that as
banker he had loaned his last
dollar to a contractor or builder
who was not constructing his prof.
ect with the best Of materials and
workmanship.
Robert Frost Daggett, president
Of the Indianapolis Building con-
gresS, presided at the luncheon.
