Chairman Accused of Conspiracy. | INDIANAPOLIS EXECUTIVE | NAMED IN BRIBE PLOT i Grand Jury Acts on Revelations Made by D. C. Stephenson, Former Klan Head. By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September | 10.—Formal arraignment of Gov. Ed | Jackson, George V. Coffin, Repub- lican County chairman, and Robert 1. | attorney, indicted vesterday of conspiracy to commit | a felony and attempted bribery, will | be held before Judge mes A.

Duvall | is scheduled to 2o to trial in Criminal Court Monday on similar charges. | The indictment returned by the | grand jury vesterday against Duvall | represents for the most part a repeti- | tion of charges previously filed against | bim in the form of affidavits. | Judge Collins said he would make no departure from the procedure fol- | lowed in other criminal cases. The arraignment of defendants is always on the first Monday of each month, he said. Ex-Klan Leader Is Informer. The defendants on October 3 will enter pleas of guilty or not guilty, or their attorneys may file motions in the case. From a prison cell where the quon- dam grand dragon of the Indiana Ku Klux Klan is serving a life sentence for niurder, the finger of alleged political corruption has been poiuted at In- diana’s chief executive, at the mayor of Indianapolis and at two other | prominént political figures of the Staté. Indictment of Gov. Ed Jackson, | Mayor John L. Duvall, George V. Cotfin, chairman of the Marion County (Indianapolis) Republican committee, and Robert 1. Marsh, formerly a law partner of the Governor’s, was the culmination of an investigation started “nearly a year ago by revelations of D. . Stephenson, the former high Klans- an, now in prison at Michigan City. Under the indictments, returned late yesterday by a Marion County grand jury, Gov. Jackson, Coffin and Marsh are charged with conspiracy 1o commit a felon§.and with.attempt. ed bribery. Mayor Duvall was in- dicted under the corrupt practices act. Predecessor Recently Paroled. Gov. Jackson is the second succes- sive Indiana chief executive to face criminal _charges. His predecessor, ‘Warren T. McCray, was paroled. only a few days ago from federal prison where he was sent for conspiracy to use the mails to defraud. McCray's name, too, figured promi- nently in the present charges. Gov. Jackson, Marsh, Coffin and Stephen- son are charged in the indictments with having offered the then Gov. McCray $10.000 if he would name James E. McDonald presecutor for Marion county. Jackson at the time was Secre- tary of State and McCray was under indictment. The alleged bribe also ‘was said to have included an offer of immunity from prosecution’ The grand jury in its report yester- day also charged efforts were made to intimidate McCray so that he would not reveal an attempt had been made to bribe him. The threat of interfer- ence with plans for “is parole from prison were held before McCray, the | true bill said Note Started Investigations. | Mayor Duvall was indicted on vir-| tually the same charges as were con- tained in an affidavit filed against him by the prosecuting attorney several weeks ago, and on which he is sched- uled t6 go to trial Mopday. The in- digtment charges the mayor promised William P. Armitage, Indianapolis pol- itican, the right to name men to city positions, in return for political sup- port in the primary and election of 1925. which put Duvall into office. A note written in Stephenson’s cell and secreted out of the prison into the hands of Thomas H. Adams, pub- lisher of the Vincennes Commercial, started the series of investigations. Stephenson's charges were that some of the State’s leading politicians and office_holders had engaged with him in political intrigue, both during | and after the time he was grand dragon of the Klan. tery, in the form of “black| boxes,” alleged by Stephenson to con-| tain documentary proof of his| charges; the disappearance of star witpesses, with subsequent country- wide searches; trips to the Indiana State Prison to interview Stephenson, and an investigation by the United States Senate’s investigating com- mittee, under Senator James Reed of Missouri, were among the high lights of the long probe. First Two Juries Discharged. The first grand jury action came nearly a year ago, when the jury was aytomatically discharged _after 11 weeks of investigation. testimony was turned over to the Criminal Court authorities by the Jury second grand jury was dis- charged after one of the jurors in an affidavit charged he had been ap- proached and offered a bribe if he would vote not to indict Mayor Duvall. An independent investigation w: then taken up by Willam H.

NOGALES, Ariz., September 10.— Dispatches to the Herald from Guada- lajara, Jalisco, Mexico, said the town of Totatiche, located in the municipal- ity of Colotlan, Jalisco, had been taken by a large force of rebels headed by Pedro Quintanar. One woman, Paula Herrera, was said to have been killed during the attack, which was made Thursday, fol- lowing several days of intensive activi- ties in the district. Telegraphic communications with Mexico City were severed by the raid- ers, and a number of viliages near Totatiche were sacked by the band. Federal troops guarding the town were quickly dispersed, due to the superior number of the rebels, who were said to have marched into the town with some semblance of military Immediately on receipt of news of the town's surrender reaching Guada- 1a, Federal troops stationed at rizal and Huasasco were sent to| assist detachments stationed in the municipality of Cototlan.

BY REX COLLIER. 1 Staft Correspondent of The Star. | BATON ROUGE, La., September | 10.—Problems of ‘“continued destitu- tion, finance of next Spring’s crops, public health, financial stability of the parish governments, maintenance of the schools and, above all, provision of flood control” still confront the people of the flooded area, Secretary Hoover told members of the Louisiana Legisla- ture in special joint session here last night. More than 30,000 persons 5till are being fed by the Red Cross in Louisi- ana, he said, and appropriations have been made to cover their need for food and feed until the first of Junuary. Altogether the Red Cross already has appropriated $5.500,000 for the State, and this does not include the lnrge} expenditure of the Federal Govern- ment or the gift of the railways In free transportation, Hoover declared. With regard to flood control, the Commerce Secretary said that *of all the issues before us perhaps the upper- most in the minds of those of us who have participated in this disaster has | been the conviction that such meas- ures must be taken that it will never happen again. “Throughout the valley more than 700,000 of our fellow citizens have been driven from their homes and hundreds of thousands reduced to destitutior” the Secretary continued. “The eco- nomic loss has been greater in this single flood than the whole cost of adequate flood control. Nor is the loss borne solely by its direct victims. Every citizen of the whole Nation has Jost something from the reduced pur- chasing power and the destruction in the valley. Confident of Prevention. “I am confident that engineering science is capable of the design and construction of such works as will forever prevent its reocurrence. I am confident that we have in the United States engineers a body of men that have the ability and scientific knowl- edge to bring forward a design through which this can be accom- plished. I am conficent that the American | people as a whole are not only sympa- | thetic, but anxious that the forthcom- ing Congress shall adopt sound plans and provide the necessary resources for their execution. I know that our able Secretary of War and the many members of the House and Senate who have visited the flood area are resolute on a solution, “‘President Coolidge has given ample evidence of his leadership to this end. 1 am confident that this unity in de- sire assures a favorable outcome. But the formulation of wise plans for so gigantic a project requires time and the meeting of many minds. We must yield not to haste or to emotion or to narrow interest, but hold to the long view of our responsibilities to future generations—that we may solve the problem once and for all Summarizing the situation in Louis- fana, Mr. Hoover said: “We have witnessed an unprece- dented flood. affecting 36 of your parishes, in which over 250,000 of your citizens have been driven from their villages and farms and over 210,000 of them compelled to accept shelter and food in concentration camps. After weeks of exile they have returned to devastated homes. They have taken up the burden of life with reason, they have replanted their fields in the face of but remote hope of return. In many cases they will be disappointed in the vield and forced to face a Winter with- out resources. Of the 1,100,000 acres of their crops which were destroyed, probably 700,000 acres will make no consequential yield this harvest.” Given Ovation at Meeting. Secretary Hoover was given a vo- ciferous ovation by an audience of several thousand men and women who in the large community hall used for the meeting. He was introduced by Gov. Simpson, who paid high tribute to Hoover for his devotion to the flood cause. Declaring that Louisiana's crop loss this year totals $61,660,000, the governor called fon the Federal Government to “take control of our greatest enemy—the Mississippi.” “A word of review of the progress of rehabilitation in this State is of interest,” he said. “In all but 3 of the 36 stricken parishes there has now been completed an exhaustive house-to-house canvass directed to the accurate determination of the needs of each of the families in the flooded area. Positive measures of rehabilitation have been established, grants of the money have been placed (Continued on Page 4, Column 4) being admitted.

By the Associated Press. Steps to prevent long-distance flights over water by land planes are reccmmended in a report to the Navy Department by Lieut. Ben H. Wyatt, who served on the committee which inspected th2 Dole flight planes be- fore the take-off from San Fran- cisco. The report was characterized today as “sound” by Admiral Eberle, act- ing Secretary of the Navy. “Flights ot this nature, even when undertaken by the Army or Navy, must ulti- mately end in disaster,” Wyatt said. “I{ is not my belicf that any scien- tific value can be derived from such flights.” Lieut. Wystt recommended that aireraft be required to carry radio equipment for transmitting and re- ceiving when operating over wide ex- panses of water or unexplored terri- tory. The Navy Department already has taken steps to discourage two flight, withdrawing leaves of absence from Lieut. Lawrence W. Curtin and S. A.

GERMANTOWN CRICKET CLUB, | Philadelphia, September 10 (#).—Big Bill Tilden fell before the machine- | like attack of Rene Lacoste today and | American hopes of defending the | Davis Cup dwindled as France evened the score at two-all. Lacoste ham- mered out his second triumph of the series by the decisive score of 6—3, 14—6, 6—3, 6—2. Lacoste Serves First. Lacoste served first and appeared a | bit mervous, double-faulting on the Iflr!t point, but he steadied and won the game on Tilden's errors. The American missed an easy volley that would have deticed the game. As Til- den brought his own rifie-fire service to bear, there was a wild outburst. It was as powerful as on either previ- ous day. He won it at love, finishing with two successive aces. Four straight outs by “Big Bill” gave Lacoste the third game. None of them missed the lines by much. Tilden came to the next behind his own delivery to lead, 30-15, but lapsed in control and lost it. Lacoste, return- ing everything, profited by these mis- takes and led, 3-1, as a result of the break. Tilden led, 40—30, on Lacoste's service in the fifth game, but found the net on several crucial shots, the Frenchman pulling it out. Big Bill's | service was under control again and he won the sixth game, again putting over two aces. The score went to 5—2 in Lacoste’s favor on his own delivery as Tilden grew wild and uncertain in his returns. Lacoste Wins First Set. Tilden's service, backed by good work at the net, gave him the eighth game. He was fighting furiously for points and in the ninth game gained a 30-love lead on Lacoste’s delivery, only to put three successive balls into the net. A slashing placement deuced the game, but two more errors, an out and net, gave the Frenchman |the set at 6—3. Point score first set: « 240234043~ 40445141 6—29—¢ Tilden jumped into a lead of 2—0 in the second set by piercing Lacoste’s delivery in the second game after making his own delivery good. The American made it three games in a row with another marvelous display, scoring four placements on drives or volleys far out of the Frenchman's reach. After a vain chase for one shot, Tilden let down and permitted Lacoste to take the fourth game with little re- sistance, at love. But It was a dif- ferent story in the next game when Tilden captured his own service, again Inserting a brace of placements for the final two points. | Employing the same tactics he did in the fourth game, Tilden refused to exert himself in the sixth. Big Bill seemed to be intent on conserving his strength for a long battle, relying on his own service to keep his lead. But he almost had the tables turned on him in the seventh game, pulling out |the game only after trailing at | love—40. .1 Lacoste was getting everything, but {finally was forced into errors that gave Tilden the game and lead at —2. Second Goes to Tilden. Lacoste was forced twice to deuce before winning the eighth game on his service. Tilden's service also went to deuce when he missed an easy volley. A close line decision cost Tilden the advantage point, and the American {lost his service by netting another return. The gallery voiced a protest jon the American’s behalf, but he si- ilenced it by raising his racquet. It was a critical turn against Big Bill, but he rose to the emergency by tak- |ing the tenth game on another break i through Lacoste's service. The French- man, trailing, 15—40, brought the count to deuce by his fine control, but then netted a return to lose advantage {point. Tilden's overhead smash for a |\Llc§ment settled the game and set at_6—d. Point score, second set: | Tilden .. 6 { Lacoste 65 3—33— e SOVIET PLOT FORGERY IN BOLIVIA IS DENIED By the Associated Press.

BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. Staff Correspondent of The Star. BROOKINGS, 8. Dak., September 10. —If the life of this Nation is to rise |to a higher realm the institutions of |learning must provide adequate spirit- ual influences as well as the means for | education, President Coolidge declared in an address here today at exercises marking the dedication of the Lin- coln Memorial Library of the South | Dakota State College. Amplifying this appeal for spiritual influences in connection with educa- tion, the President stated that colleges will fail in their duty to their students unless they are able to inspire them with a broader understanding of the spiritual meaning of science, of litera- ture and of the arts. He expressed the opinion that institutions of learn- ing are important, not only because of the economic results which have ac- crued from them, but even more be- cause of their spiritual value, and for that reason, he contends that Ameri- can institutions must be dedicated to a high purpose. Spiritual Reality Index. “All of our science and all of our arts will never be the means for the true advancement of our Nation, will never give us a civilization and a cul ture of any worthy and lasting im- portance,” Mr. Coolidge offered an additional argument for spiritual in- fluence in education, “unless we are able to see in them the outward mani- festation of a spiritual reality.” Not only did the President deliver the dedicatory address on this oc- casion, but he received from the State college an honorary degree of doctor of laws, and before leaving the grounds, he and Mrs. Coolidge placed a memorial stone in the foundation wall for thé new Sylvan Theater on the college campus, which is to be called hereafter the Coolidge Sylvan Theater. There was a great crowd assembled on the college grounds to acclaim the President and to look on and listen during his participation in the ceremonies.
