Crump Is in Marion county jail
awaiting trial for securities law vio-

co-promoter with Cru1np, were ar
rested upon indictments brought by
the grand jury upon advice of Marx
w. Rhoads, state securities commits
sicner, and Earl Coble, chief ex-
aminer, who checked the company's
activities after some $1,000 worth Of
alleged worthless stock had been
sold.

Wright received no money as trlls-
tee, but says he lost 500 by casfling
had check for the company pro-
motors. He declared he knew moth

that the stock was traded for

Wright is author of the "bone

he made many speeches.
Fifield announced the action or

men.

have investigated personally and
found that he is innocent of actual
wrong doing, but is gullible and had
been duped, as were others In In
dianapolis by these Chicago men.
"In his position as auditor he has
nothing to do with passing on any
securities, but is merely a bookkeep-
err in charge of fees and the like.
His books are passed upon by the
board Of accounts.
HE has been given q warning
and placed on probation. Should
he let himself be used again, even
innocently as this was, he will be
discharged"
Rhoads and Coble explained the
many weeks work spent in track
ing down Crump and others con-
nected with the company. Their
securities were licensed here on a
fraudulent set-up, it was alleged.
Crump faces charges which would
bring a maximum sentence of ten
years and $1,000 fine, Coble de-
clared.

MELLON EvADES
DRY LAW STAND
IN HOUSE QUIZ
Secretary Says Treasury
Department Has Done
Its Best.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 22-The
treasury department has conscien-
tiously made very effort to carry out
the responsibilities Of prohibition
enforcement during the last ten
ears, Secretary Of Treasury Mellon
old the house expenditures COM
.nittee today.
Declining to express his personal
views about prohibition, or whether
t has had a fair test, the secretary
Endorsed the pending Williamson bill
proposing to transfer enforcement
activities to the justice department.
It was somewhat of a swan song"
for the aged treasury head as re-
CARDS prohibition enforcement, which
he has directed for nearly nine years
and which will be taken from his
hands when the bill is enacted,
which is expected.
Evades Quiz Adroitly
Mellon has never been regarded
by drys as in strong sympathy with
the prohibition laws, which has
brought numerous attacks upon
him, but he declined, adroitly, to-
day to enter into controversy about
the wisdom of the law.
Mellon said he thought the en-
forcement task logically belong to
the law enforcement agency of the
government He thought the indus
trial alcohol unit did not logically
belong to either department, but
until a better place is found for it,
he said it should be LEFT in the
treasury.
It was after he had read his state
ment expressing his views about the
legislation, that Representative Igoe,
Republican, sought to get Mellon to
express an opinion about prohibi-
ton.
Commissioner Doran who followed
Mellon to the stand, also endorsed
the legislation brought forward by
President Hoovers law enforcement
commission.
Doran Lauds Treasury
ut will enable the prosecuting
agency of the government to have
charge of cases from the beginning"
he said.
The commissioner said he did not
know of any cases in which the
justice department had failed to
give the treasury full cooperation.
I know what they are up against
over there" he said.
Doran denied Representative
Schaefer's contention that the two
departments had split over the
whisky ring" nthe state of Wash
ington. The commission said he
had not received any report on the
Washington case from the justice
department tand said the Washing
ton commissioner had been removed
for administrative reasons"
The question of making public
the alcohol permit users of the Chi
cago district in the alst two years
and the amount of Withdrawals of
more than 200 gallons year, will be
taken up by the committee tomor-
row in executive session.
At that time the committee will
decide how far it will go into the
prohibition question.
The appearance Of Mellon and
Doran was the only outstanding
prohibition development of the day
at the Capitol.

PUNISH LIQUOR
BUYER is PLEA
OF DIR. wilson
Noted Dry Makes Address
to Pastors: Bishop in
Unity Talk.

Punish Mister Rich Man, the
buyer of liquor, as you punish the
seller"
Church unity may come through
a federation of churches and by
leaving each creed to It's own work"
These two pertinent statements
were made, respectively, today at
the closing sessions of the Indiana
pastors conference in the First Bap-
t,st church by DR.. Clarence True
Wilson, general secretary Of the
Methodist church's board of tenn
perance and Bishop Francis j. Nc
Cornell, president of the Federal
Council of Churches of Christ.
Talks on Best Plan
DR.. Wilson'S plea for punishment
of booze buyers was made in an
address on The Best Plan for Max
ing Prohibition Effective" while
Bishop McConnells church unity
expression came in an explanation
of moves toward that unity.
Al the afternoon session Bishop
Mcconnell closed the meeting with
g. second address dealing with pres
ent-day tendencies toward mysti-
cism in religion.
In citing the needs for effective
prohibition DR.. Wilson named the
following:
81. Education of the younger gen.
Grafton in temperance through
pledge cards, rallies and lectures.
20. Support of the Sheppard
amendment in congress, making the
buyer of liquor equally guilty with
the seller.
Heavy First Penalty
g. Making first offenses in viola
ton of the Volstead act carry
prison sentence.
q. Deportation of all aliens who
come to America and disobey the
prohibition law.
rs. Stringent padlocking Of prop
erty used for the violation Of the
prohibitory acts.
IS. Election of public officials
who are in sympathy with the law"
DR.. Wilson praised the Hoover
administration and its attempt to
enforce the prohibition law. He
termed it the first administration
actually to seek enforcement.
He scored Al Smith, the RaSkobS
and the Duponts, and urged that
the society matron who buys from
a bootlegger should be placed in a
cell alongside of him.
Cites Dry Greed
sour creed is: Mental suasion for
the man who thinks; moral suasion
for the man who drinks; legal Sua-
sion for the drunkard-maker; and
prison suasion for the statute
breaker" he said.
In discussing the possibility OF
church unity, Bishop Mcconnell
said: 1T must come without CO.
ercion and from the free response
of churches and people. We must
preserye the things of merit in all
denominations. We can't have q
heaven with every one in wanting
out, and in the same fashion, We
can't have church unity without the
response and desire of the church
and church members"
Although he forecast opposition on
the part of some members of the
council he represents, he asserted
that unity would be through feder-
a'ism similar to the government Of
The United States, with each church
keeping its entity as the states.

Times, dated May 20, contains the
following:
"The reports . confirm the be-
lief that the Communists have
strengthened their power in the dis
trict and constitute dangerous
element unless Immediately sup
pressed. With Marking fully oc-
cupied on the Northern front, the
Yangtze situation is fraught with
all kinds Of dangers, although the
river is well patrolled by foreign
gunboats."
The gunboats in the Yangtze, the
naval forces Of British, Japanese
and American imperialisms in
China, are there particularly for the
purpose of keeping the Chinese
masses in subsection. This fact per-
haps more wildly than any other
case in point, illustrates clearly that
the same force that is depressing
the workers and farmers in the
United States is also sucking the
blood Of the Chinese toiling masses,
and attempting to suppress their re
volt. The American workers should
do everything they can to support
the Revolution in China which is a
part and parcel of the universal
fight against imperialism.
The report of the defeat of Nank-
ing in the Chinese Militarist War
seems to be confirmed today by the
frantic efforts of the Marking au-
thorities to obscure news of the con-
flict. Chaing Kai-shek, the cham
plon of American Imperialism in
China, is reported to be wounded.
His first division, specially trained
by German officers and which Chi
ang considers the trump card, is
partly shattered. Markings days
are numbered.
