"Michael" on his former associates

lilglit now the Stephenson case is
the sensation of the country. And
if the full light of day ever reaches
the hidden trails of graft and cor-

Adams is the man to whom thanks

An Absorbing Story.
The story of what he and his as-
aociatoe have done to expose the
machinations of the Stephenson re-
gime is absorbing one. particu-
larly for civspaiu-r men—41 story
that can rank with the story of
Carl Magce's fight in New Mexico
and with Don Mellett‘s in Canton.
Adams was appointed by the Be.
publican Editorial Association not
long ago to inv’esfigatc rumors
about Stephenson's former influence.

to convince him that an uuhamper-

able.
Adams told_part of his story to
the Indiana state senate. and a
group of six senators-4hr“ ne-
publicans and three. Democrats-—
was appointed to help him. This
group. after persulng Adsms' evi-
dence. recomiiiendrd to the legisla-
ture that a sweeping investigation
he launched. The investigation has
not been made without meeting de-
termined opposition. Already. Adams
declares. certain influences have
tried to put pressure on J. Frank
lMcnermosd. president of the no.
publican Editorial Association. and
one of the leaders in the probc‘s in-
ception. .
Adams points out that the charges
while super-government were laid
before Governor Ed Jackson some
time ago by lichermond. Governor
Jackson. however. refused to make
an official investigation and left
hlcllcrmond. going to a ball game.
So McDermond told Adams to get
buny on his own hook.
lips Stephenson Fell.
'rwo causes led to the political and
social fall of D. C. Stephenson.
The first was his ambition for po-
litical pmver. which led him even to
the length of announcing his candi—
dacy for the United States Senate at
a private dinner at the Lincoln hotel
in 1033. He exercised vKlsn sway
in 21 states at one time.“ including
Illinois. Indiana and Ohio. {is tried
to take over the national organisa-
tion. even reaching into Washing-
ton and forming a plan in Klan
craft that was to cover the nation.
He was even to be a President
maker. or even President. At this
period. it is said of him. he remain-
ed temperate and conducted himself
in such a manner that thousands of
good men were attracted to his baa-
ner. He was a flaming evangel—
s dynamo of power. There were
about too ministers in his dollowlng
at one time i‘. is said.
"I have seen him kneel down at
his bed and pray as innocently as
a child." said one of his former in-
timates. at his strange dual per-
"And no woman was safe from
him then." said this some infor-
meat.
The national organisation had to
crush this man who had such delu-
sions of grandeur that some con-
sidered him a parsnciac.

arrested in Columbus while in a
parked automobile in a public street
in "a disgraceful and immoral posi-
tion." lie pleaded guilty and was
lifted.
Another charge is a trip to
Georgia in 1924 in which Stephenson
occupied a room with two women.
I'scil Ame Plan.
His story is fantastic because
Stephenson is a fantastic figure. He
calls himself "the old man" but is
only thirty-live. III' was born in
Houston. Tax.. but his star rose in
Indiana. Down in the lone star state
he monkcyed with llnctype moo
chines. Then he fell in with a.
young man named lilram Wesley
Evans at Dallas and learned his al-
phabet to K. That was as far as
be over nccdcd to go.
The star rose iii Evansville where
hc was a high pressure salesman in
tact. lie mom] on to Indianapolis
and was soon Grand Dragon of the
Indiana realm. In two years he sold
380.000 memberships and drew for
himself 34 a head. Money rolled in.
The "old man" act up line offices in
tho Kresge building.
His office became known as the
third house of the legislature. He
conceived the "do and don't Jury
system and the "yes and no" leg-
inlative system. He bragged he was
tho law in Indiana and it was very
nearly true.
Then the “old man" got drunk on
power. At Ed Jackson‘s inaugural
hell he met Madge Oberhoitser.
Within a month there ensued I.
rape case that stunned Indiana. It
appeared that Marquis dc bode
might. have been a Grand Dragon or
a Kiosgle. Madge Oberholtscr ioolt
blchlcride of rcury and a day let-
0’: was mpc into the hallway of
her father's house two blocks down
University avenue from the old
man's place.
Stephenson expected power and
money would get him out of this
scrape. Instead he was convicted of
second degree murder and sentenced
tor life to Michigan prison.
Freedom Not flkcly
He bldcd his time well. Nov. 2 is
looming. ltuinntion of his .old friends
will satisfy him perhaps. and with
any kind of luck he may ruin them.
He is a sort of Samson whose hair
has grown out after a fashion. and
he is ready to pull down the pillars.
That. he himself will gain freedom
seems far fetched. Hoosiers tell. this
correspondent that had Gov. Jackson
tried to pardon him revolution would
have ensued. It is the sadistic touch
which has made the Hoosier rear. No
.native Indianisn will get all" hot up
by gossip of political boodlc. but of-
fend hls moral sense and he will liclt
his wflgbt in wildcats.
But the body is easier locked up
than the mouth. and for high Be-
publicsns right now Stephenson is a
corpse indecently stepped out of the
grave.
Yet in spite of the “old man's”
elaborate mind he has not contrived
this situation alone. The conjunction
with Thomas Adams has done the
trick. Nobody can run Ada
Adams. in he stands now s

winter is going to be.
The fishermen down the Jersey
coast realised it first. The blueflsh

suspicious. Then the water was
colder than usual all summer. and
for a month past the ground swell
has been very heavy.
As Any Wealtfish Knows
What made it sure was the weak-

normally early at the fishing
grounds. and have been coming
quite close in shallow water along
shore. There's no question about the
bitter winter after that. But there
are still other signs, such as the
heavy feathers and early arrivals of
the seagulls. the premature depart-

of moss bunkers. Captain Sydney I".
