MunCie Mayor May Take
Further Action in
Graft Case.

BIZ Times SDecidl
MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 13.-Although
report of the Delaware county
grand jury had nothing in it de-
rogatory to Mayor George R. Dale,
he declares he is dissatisfied and
threatens to file a perjury charge
against Horace Weber, who is &C
cused of making charges that the
present city administration is profit
ing from street paving contracts.
Nc mention of the case was made
in the grand jury report. Dale had
asked that the investigation include
himself and other city officials
named by Weber.
Commenting on the case, Dale
said:
"Inasmuch as it was generally
known that the charge was to be
investigated, I would have been
more pleased if the grand jury'S
report had been more definite.
ct am undecided as to what course
I shall follow against Weber. 1
may request that the next grand
jury make an investigation looking
to an indictment for perjury, or I
may file charges myself, not only
against Weber, but against those
who induced him to swear to the
charges filed in his complaint. That
the grand jury failed to act in the
case seems to me to be prima facie
evidence that Weber had no basis
for his charge, since he testified and
had ample opportunity to tell what
he knew

he probably would be fully recovered
in time to play against Minnesota
Nov. l, but in the meantime, he
will be out of the games with Illi-

Two years ago, his first on the

"There is an intensely bitter feel

tion," Shepherd declared. 1.-THE
state prohibition law was killed in
1925 by a wet vote of So per cent.
In a 1928 referendum this percent
age against prohibition increased.
"How much farther the voters will
go this year to show that being
wet or dry is more important to
them than being Republicans or
Democrats is anybody's guess. The
booze issue has swelled until it
crowds every other issue off the
platform.
Senator Walsh, Democrat and dry,
is opposed by Judge Albert Galen,
