LOWELL CREEK RECERS

Workmen on the local Hume will soon have Lowell Creek diverted from the Hume into the old chan nel so that repair work can be started. The creek was recently di- verted from the Hume but the high waters threatened to wash out the railroad trackage and the water had to be turned into the Plume again. With the recession of waters it was expected that no further difficulty would be en- cOuntered.

Fast Ends
Gandhi Loses 10 Pounds
Weight in Three Weeks
Without Food.

By JHited Press
DOGMA, India, May 29.-Mahat-
Il ma Gandhi ended at noon to-
day the tWenty-one-day fast he
imposed upon himself to attract
world attention to the plight of
100000 Hindu "untouchables,"
doomed by heredity to be outcaSts.
Gandhi weighed eighty pounds
Immediately after the fast. He
weighed ninety-nine three weeks
ago.
Il am breaking fast in His
Gods name, with faith in Him"
he said. MY faith in Him is not
less today. This is an occasion
for singing the glory of His name.
1 do not know what work God
expects of me now. Whatever it
may be, I know He will give me
strength for it"
Weak, skeleton-like, swathed
tightly from foot to head in white
linen, his eyes glinting feverishly
from behind his gold-rimmed
spectacles, Gandhi turned his head
weakly on his cot as the noon
hour sounded, and thanked the
half dozen doctors who watched
him anXiously.
Gandhi joined in Moslem, Sikh
and Hindu prayers.
Not until then did he really end
his fast. He took two ounces of
orange juice. The orange juice
had been his last nourishment
when on May 8, then in Poona
Jail, he began the fast.

CLOSED BANKS
DEALS CLEARED
Bookkeeping Error Is Said
to Explain Difference
of 100000.
BY JAMES A. CARVIN
Times staff Writer

Doubt that any indictments will
result from grand jury investiga-
ton of affairs of the defunct State
Savings and Trust Company was
Indicated today by Prosecutor Her
bert E. Wilson.
Since last week the grand jury
has been studying evidence selected
by Wilson from documents and
other records given the prosecutor
by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox.
Two transactions were selected
by Wilson for investigation and it
was understood today that eXplana-
lions had been supplied for the
acts.
A 100000 bookkeeping error in
the bank records regarding obliga-
tons is said to have been offered in
explanation of discrepancies in
statements given to the state bank
ing department.
Obligations tOtaling approximate
ly 100000 were carried at $4,000
due to the error, rather than to
criminal intent of officers, it is I'M
derstood that the accounting firm of
Spradling, Carter and Jordan and
former bookkeeper of the bank
testified
The accounting firm was selected
by Wilson to aid in the probe, be-
cause of familiarity with the bank
records, having been auditors for
the bank during its operation.
Despite announcement that Mrs
Ida BrOO, auditor whose inveStiga-
ton at order of Cox precipitated the
grand jury probe, would not be sum-
moned before the grand jury, she
was expected to appear today.
Another transaction on which the
investigation has been based is the
carrying of a $4,000 deposit in the

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The
golden card by which the House
of Margon leads the American peo-
pie is not made of money owned
by j. P. Morgan and his partners,
but of money owned by those whose
throat it binds.
The Morgan firm is worth ap-
$50, 100000. Many others
are worth more than that.
But the MorganS have what no
others have-influence in banks, in
Surance companies and corpora
lions with assets 1000 times as ex-
tenSive as their own capital.
They can. in other words, Tegi-
ment something like $4,000, 100000
TO do their bidding. This figure is
about $4,000 100000 larger than the
whole national income of 1882.
Concentration of this vast influ-
ence in banks and other institutions
with money to invest gives it greater
power, proportionately, than even
these figures would suggest.
This is the way the House of Nor
gan gets its grip over Americas
money:
BY putting their partners on the
boards of banks.
BY making loans to high bank
officials.
BY letting high bank officials
share easy profits in syndicate deals.
BY inducing corporations over
which it has power to deposit their
money with j. P. Morgan & Co.,
and then by passing on these de-
poSitS to favored banks.
Thus, the MorganS stand at the
cross roads taking their toll of in
f1uence over the country's most i'm
portant banks by acting as the dis
penser of great patronage in the
form of great deposits.
Insurance companies have avail
able for investment more money
than any other single institution.
j. P. Morgan & Co. has made sure

SLOT MACHINE
RING IS 'SAFE,'
CHIEF ADMITS
Armitages, City Politicians
Named as Operators of
Gaming Devices.
CHARGES DO NOT STICK
MorriSSey and Sergeant Tell
of 'Rumors,' in Cox
Court.

Admission that city and county
authorities had been informed that
local politicians were operators of
an alleged slot machine ring, but
that no prosecution had resulted was
made from the witness stand by
Chief Mike Morrissey today in cir
cult court.
Under questioning by Judge Earl
R. Cox, MorrisSey testified that
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, prose-
cutor Herbert e. Wilson, and the
safety board had been told that Will
liam H. and James Armitage, local
political powers, were operators of
slot machines for many years"
Morrisseys testimony was given
during a hearing on a motion by
Herbert Spencer, assistant city at
torney, to dissolve a temporary re-
straining order issued April 8, pre-
venting police from molesting the
lawful operation of vending ma
chimes operating by the Odom Sales
Company.
Armitages Are Involved
The names of the ArmitageS we're
placed in the court records by Cox,
during questioning of Police Sergeant
Edwin Kruse, who testified he had
heard "rumors that the Armitages
ran slot machines"
When Morrissey took the stand
Cox asked:
Chief, you know the Armitages,
Bill and Jim?"
YES"
You know they have run slot
machines in Marion county for
years?"
. "I do"
Arrested Operators
when you were a lieutenant,
you arrested operators of machines
owned by the Armitages?"
Yes"
Can you remember when the Ar
mitageS ever were tried for operat-
ing slot machines?"
mo, I can't"
Morrisey explained that he had
found that slot machine owners OPP
Grated under cover" through
agents and collectors.
And these agents take the fall?"
Cox interjected.
We'll, not fall, exactly, but these
men collect the money from the
machines"
Told to Officials
And turn it over to the Ar
mitages?' Cox again interjected.
We'll, I don't know about that,
but it's my opinion from the infor-
nation I have, "Morrissey replied
Have you ever told this to the
mayor, the safety board or ProSecu-
tor Wilson," Cox asked in rapid
succession.
Yes" was MorrisSey's reply.
"Yet the Armitages never have
been prosecuted?"
We'll, we never get the owners
with the Machines Morrissey ex-
planned
At opening of the hearing, it was
revealed by Frank Symmes, attor-
ney representing the Odom Sales
Company, that there had been no
