44 GRAND JURY WINS PRAISE ININDIANA People Welcome Clean-up in State Political Muddle. Officials Cited. By Consolidated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, November 11.—This State is prepared to back up | * ce William Howard Taft in his plea for efficient juries of intelli- and competent men a major to improve just Indiana aving experience with a of just that type and is greatly sed with the res Th> grand jus posed of hi s ¢ has indicted the gover of his he apolis and some v the State and son the mayor of Indi of his henchmen, and four members of tha city council of Indianapolis. It has just about broken down the ian-ridden machine that had the e tied up politically, and new lines of inquiry are still being laid. Previous Juries Disagreed. Befors the present grand jury got into action, two previous juries, polit- jeally controlled, had failed to bring indictments. But the m: of evi- dence being uncovered now is proving sufficient to turn the State upside down politic Governo ward Jackson, about to come to trial on an indictment charg- ing attempted bribery of Warren T. feCray, former Indiana governor, re- : cently released from the Federal peni j tent having other of his acts _investizated. The charge now occu- pying the attention of the grand jury involves an alleged contribution to the son personal campaign fund, in of $19,000 by Samuel reported public utility gift is said {to have been conditioned on the ap- ipointment of a public utilities com- missioner favorable to the Insull in- i terests. 1t is also sald that a United States Senator or two may be worried over ,the contents of D. C. Stephenson's famous “black box.” This was filled with 10,000 letters and documents, many of which are understood to have theen contracts for the distribution of official patronage. And it was fighting ,over jobs that fin brought the in- ternal squabbles that wrecked the ma- chine. No Strings on Inquiry. The present grand jury has mo strings tied to it and it is seeing that not a stone is left unturned in prying down into official corruption. The people of the State are backing up the investigation and expect to have their house in order shortly. Indianapolis feels ~that her Ilocal situation is improved by the selection of L. Ert Slack, a Democrat, to be mayor. Slack promises to forget party lines and to do his best to give the city a good government. He doesn’t intend to disrupt city depart- ments, but will go slowly to build up a popular administration. State politics are very much dis- rupted by the recent troubles within the Republican Party. Agreement is general that the party now in control is going to have a hard time when the next election comes around. The Democrats are bringing out their strongest men as candidates for State office. They soon will control the Indianapolis situation with the mayor democratic. Frank Dailey, the leading Democrat of the State, has announced his candidacy for gov- ernor. Albert Stump, the popular young Democratio leader, who came within 11,000 votes of defeating Sen- ator James Watson in the 1025 elec- | tion, will oppoge Senator Arthur Rob- | inson, Evans Woolien, another promi- nent Democrat, is being talked as a Presidential candidate. The Repub- licans are pretty much divided all along the line. The grand jury, which has stirred up the scandals of the presént State {administration and the previous city administration, is receiving popular praise. Its members are devoting six months of their time to the business of cleaning up the State politics, serv- ing out of a sense of civic duty. Their ! service is expected to be an example 'for grand juries in other places. (Covyright. 1927.) " DAMROSCH IS HONORE®. ——— Elected Head of Nationsl Institute of Arts—Prof. Sloane Gets Medal.
