(Continued From Page 1) Senator, and continued to rule over a sarcastic and guffawing State. The Times also produced the carbon copy of a letter written by Stephenson to Jackson reminding him that Stephenson had spent some $72,000 to secure his nomination. The State began to wake up. The Times produced other checks, which according to attached notes in handwriting, were I drawn in payment to preachers, race newspapers, politicians.

tt tt THE climax, as far as Governor Ed Jackson was concerned, came when The Times printed, without qualification, a copyrighted story by Frank J. Prince who had done much of the investigation in other cases, It revealed that when a candidate and Secretary of State he had offered a bribe of and an offer of immunity before any jury, local or Federal, to Warren T. McCray, then Governor, in return for the appointment of a henchman of the Klan group as prosecuting attorney Indianapolis. McCray was then under indictment in Federal cuorts. He refused the bribe, was convicted and eerved forty months.

After three weeks of silence, Governor Jackson wrote a letter of denial to The Times and the next day was indicted by a grand jury, which in its indictment, said that the facts had been concealed from the prosecutor and the public until published by The Times. This allegation was made in order to set aside the statute of limitations and to charge concealment. At his trial the charge of The (Times was substantiated by McCray; by his son-in-law; by others who were sent to McCray by Jackson and George V. Coffin, Republican county chairman, indicted with Jackson on the bribery charge. At the conclusion of the testimony, the attorneys asked and secured his dismissal on the ground that there had been no proof that Jackson had actively concealed his crime.

The statute of limitations operated, and saved him. The Governor, despite State-wide demands, refuses to resign and has made no further statements. tt a IN its exposure of the sources of misrule in the State, The Times exposed the fact that the two United States Senators actively had interested themselves in behalf of the Rev. E. S.

Shumaker, head of the Anti-Saloon League then who was under charges of contempt of the Supreme Court and later was convicted. Correspondence was produced that verified these charges. Clyde Walb teas chairman of the Republican State committee when Stephenson came into control of the State. Walb now is at Leavenworth, Kansas, in the Federal prison, convicted of conspiring to loot the bank cf his home city through forged notes. Here again The Times forced the exposure and the prosecution.

It printed the facts concerning the at a time when powerful influences were operating to hide the facts. A former State Treasurer is under indictment for taking commissions from banks on State deposits. That prosecution is based on facts by The Times. Five other minor city officials of Indianapolis have been indicted. Two of them have been convicted.

One other has pleaded guilty. As an incident to its general exposure and a demand for a complete investigation, The Times was responsible for the bringing of impeachment charges against Judge Clarence W. Dearth of Muncie, a Klan product, who had confiscated newspapers which criticized him. The house of representatives voted 93 to 1 to bring the charges. The Senate failed to convict under the necessary two-thirds vote by a single ballot.

tt a THESE are some of the results obtained by The Times in its effort to give the people the facts (concerning their government. The facts were obtained despite the pressure of official power to suppress them; against the use of money to purchase the evidence; against the combined efforts of a great political machine to discredit and to terrify. The machine, of course, back. There was an effort to indict Boyd Gurl'ey, its editor, in the Federal court, by the use of a forged affi- Comment $1,000,000 Clark Bill Passed The House, yesterday, passed the Senate resolution to authorize the appropriation of $1,000,000 for the George Rogers Clark Sesquicentennial Celebration, to be held in Vincennes in 1929-1930.

By United Press BUFFALO, N. May authorities, impelled by clamorous pubic indignation, moved swiftly today to seek punishment of two United States Coast Guardsmen who shot an innocent citizen, in the mistaken belief that he was a whisky smuggler. Jacob D. Hanson, secretary of the Niagara Falls lodge of Elks! was in a hospital there, blinded and near death from a bullet that fractured his skull. He was shot on the Niagara Rivetroad near Lewiston, N.

early Sunday, when the two Government men, Glenn Jennings and Christ Dew, tried to halt his car. Hanson thought the two roughlydressed Coast Guards were holdup men and refused to stop. A contest between the Federal Government and State authorities for jurisdiction over the offenders is in prospect. As in previous cases of record where Government men on liquor duty made mistakes, the Government may insist on trial in a Federal Court. Public opinion demands a jury trial in the State court.

Capt. Frank L. Beck, commandant of the Ft. Niagara Coast Guard station, after previously refusing to surrender the men to the State, an nounced today that he would submit to their arraignment on a second-degree assault charge at Lewiston this afternoon, He added, however, that such preliminary arraignment would not prevent transfer of the case to a Federal Court.
