Colonel Comes to Aid of
Buck Private Running
for Congress.

AS great as brother love is the
affection borne by one man for an
other when they have campaigned,
fought, and bled together.
On the hot first day Of June in
1918 when the marines we're ad-
vancing under shell fire in the Bel
leau Woods a colonel Of marines,
passing a group of enlisted men,
noticed a weary boy weighed down
by his pack and a rife almost too
large for him.
The colonel, a Hoosier, who had
reputation for feeding his men
better than any other officer and
then getting vast amount Of work
out of them, paused for moment
to grin and call out the customary:
Where you from, Mariner"
And the answer Indiana"
A pat on.the back, CHEEKY salu-
tation and the colonel was gone.
Years later, when the colonel, re-
tired because of his wounds, was
making a bitter fight against the
Ku-Klux Klan in his race for con-
gress in the Eleventh district, the
buck private learned of it and went
to his aid. And the colonel, with
out any organization, was defeated
by but 200 votes.
Today the buck private. Asa J

More than fifty persons, includ-
ing police, known bootleggerS, bust

subpenas by deputy marshals.
Their testimony, it is said, may

STARK EXPLOITS
OFFICE, ASSERTS
FORMER DEPUTY
Employs ProSecutOrShlp in
Campaign for Votes,
Says Sheaffer.

Charges that Judson Stark has
used his Office as prosecutor Of Mar
ion county to exploit himself before
voters were made Tuesday night BY
William Sheafer. former grand jury
deputy, at the Wayne Republican
Club meeting.
Stark has organized a campaign
committee composed largely Of his
paid deputies" Sheaffer charged.
"IIe has declared ne has no time to
make an active personal campaign,
because Of his present pressing
duties in the prosecutors office Have
the voters failed to hear him at
campaign meeting?"
Drew Indictments
The former grand jury deputy
who had charge Of the grand jury
which indicted Jackson, Coffin and
Marsh for attempted bribery OF
Warren T. McCray, declared that
the method Of running the prose-
crtors office as instituted by Stark
has made of the post nothing, but
that of IAN Office manager with
the real court work deputized to
assistants"
+The citizens of Marion county
are entitled to know they are not
receiving full value from the money
they invest in the prosecutors Office
and during the incumbency of
Stark, that office has reached its
lowest ebb
Cites Noted Case
The 'chickenpOx murder case has
become notorious for the inehiciency
or perhaps carelessness shown by
the prosecutor.
In the Jack London case, the
prosecutor was found opposing the
encouragement of Indiana, the
prosecutor Of Vermillion county, the
representatives of Indiana Bankers
Association and chief of the state
bureau of criminal identification.
Here Stark made an effort to send
q man back to another state for
trial on a holdup charge when he
was wanted in Indiana for bank
robbery.
@Yet the prosecutor is loud in
his protestations Of cooperation
with all law-enforcing agencies.

CONGRESS ENDS
AFTER HOOVER
WINS BATTLES
President Is ASSaiIed in
Closing Hours of Fight
in Senate.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July Eager as
schoolboys to begin their summer
recess. members of the seventy-first
congress dispersed today, represent
ativeS to seek reelection and sem
ators to enjoy a brief respite before
the special session conveneS Mon
day to consider the London naval
treaty.
Sixteen months Of almost con-
tinuous sessions were brought to an
end at 1898 Thursday night.
Shortly before adjournment the
tired legislators passed the house
form Of the World war veterans
pension bill. and appropriated
$250.0O0 for the Hoover Wickersham
law enforcement commission.
Controversial matters which had
delayed adjournment more than
week were settled after the senate
independents and Democrats mad
conducted an almost continuous
ten-hour attack upon the admin
istration. particularly upon PreSi-
dent Hoover.
The executive was blamed for the
failure to enact more liberal pen
sion rates for World war veterans,
the tariff and for what some SEN
ators called inadequate farm re-
lief"
II the unusually strong attacks
reached Mr. Hoover'S ears, he gave
no sign of il.
After dinner at the White House
he came TO the senate and sat in
the adjoining Presidents room wait
ing TO sign the final three con-
troversial actS-the veterans bill.
the deficiency appropriations bill
and the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill.
Closing hours brought victory to
Mr.. Hoover'S views on both the
pension bill and the appropriation
for the WickerSham commission in
the deficiency bill.
All the senate amendments to
the veterans bill against which he
lodged objections we're eliminated.
This bill. in the exact form he de-
sired. was passed at 9:l5 p. m. by
the senate. The vote WIS IS 70 Il.
The new measures provided dis
ability compensation ranging from
SD to $40 monthly and specified
that no veterans who pay income
tax or whose disability was caused

The President also won two other
outstanding victories. The second
deficiency bill was passed to include
S250,000 appropriation for the law
enforcement commission.
Previously. the senate had reduced
