A Case of Temperament.
After the “artists” had all performed their part before the microphone last Wednesday night, the audience was introduced to the children in person- from the stage. That is. all but one. That was a little fellow about 3 or 4 years old.

that they can, for a time, at least, forget their troubles about depression and unemployment, it is William Exton, the genial and busy manager of the Rivoli Theater. The writer was in the theater last Wednesday evening, and while watching the long program carried out to a successful completion, the thought came that Mr. Exton was outdoing himself in his efforts to give the patrons more than their money’s worth. The picture was good, but the best part of the program, to the writer’s way of thinking, was that part of the program in which children of Muncie were the predominating feature. A broadcasting room was built upon the stage, and quite a number of boys and girls sang and recited before the micro-
phone.
Friend of All Kiddies. Each “artist” received an enthusiastic encore, and some of them indeed, showed the making of real artists, but all did their best, and that was plenty good. Mr. Exton must possess an unlimited amount of patience, and not once did he show that he wias becoming tired or impatient. He stands ace high with the kiddies of Muncie and surrounding towns and he is a friend to any child that makes a bid for his friendship. The writer recalls an incident last December, when a certain fraternal organization gave a Christmas dinner for the poor children of Muncie. As soon as “Bill,” as he is affectionately known among his dlose friends, heard of it he told the writer that he wanted “in on it.” He was given the opportunity. What did he do? He threw open

He made trips by automobile up the barge canal from New York to Buffalo, later from Syracuse to Lake Ontario, down the St Lawrrence, past Montreal, through the Canadian Canal, into Lake Champlain, back to Albany. In the fall of 1930 he made 14 speeches in one day, most of which were on the platformL: <>f his private car and in a cold

During his first term as governor of New York state he travelled more miles, made more public appearances and delivered more speeches than any other chief executive within recollection, not bar

His performance before the micro . . phone was perfect with his number j inR cousin, Theo-

When it came her time to be introduced she stopped just inside the exit wing and motioned Mr. Exton to her. She wihkspered something in his ear, and, of course, Bill gave his consent. What she wanted to do was to sing another song, and she did herself proud. But even that did not change the fit of temperament of the biy. He still re fused to meet his public in person. All in all, it was a very enjoyable evening, and the time and money was considered well spent. Mr. Exton promises similar enter tainment in the near future, and all that possibly can should attend, thereby encouraging the children in their honest efforts to please.
The Cincinnati Reds are nowon the home lot for quite a stay, for which situation the players give thanks. They need the rest and quiet which home gives them after a long, tiresome journey on the road. The Reds schedule includes a double-header with the Boston Braves, second-placers, at Redland Field, Sunday, July 17. o NOTICE TO BIDDERS.

His physical work during his compaign for governor in 1928 made his closest friends gasp He made more speeches in the state than his opponent, Mr. Ottinger, and in addition* spoke in Chicago and Boston for Mr. Smith. He even tired out the newspaper men who accompanied him and wound up at Madison Square Garden at the end of the campaign, looking as fit as anybody, any very little fatigued. In adidtion to the arduous duties of his office, the winter following his election he made numerous speeches away from Albany In February he addressed the State Press association in Syracuse. In March he spent two week-ends in New York city and made eight public addresses. During the sessions of the legislature he made one to two radio addresses weekly. When the legislature adjourned at the end of March there were 1,000 last minute bills on his desk to he passed upon together with about 500 others than had been passed earlier in the session.

NEWSPAPER HELP LIONEL BARRYMORE PERFECT ROLE Using newspapers to study for a screen role is the expedient by which Lionel Barrymore prepared for his part as the United States Senator in “The Washington Masquerade,” new drama of national politics at the Rivoli Sunday and
Monday.
“I secured every newspaper item I could find about the Senate and and all speeches and details of the tax legislation,” explained Barrymore in a recent interview. “By studying them I found out what sort of a character a senator in
action would be.
“I don’t know any senators and never was in politics, but the newspaper and wire service items gave me a better idea than I could have obtained by actually being on the floor of the Senate.” Karen Morley has the chief feminine role in “The Washington Masquerade,” and the cast also in Tiludes Diane Sinclair and Nils

SELF EVIDENCE
• In view of the noticeable decline in gasoline tax collections, for the past few months, in comparison with monthly figures for 1931, we believe that a statement ’should he forthcoming, to explain, in our opinion, the reason for
same.
Sales of license plates total 69,886 fewer than {he same date, a year ago,, of which number 58,240 plates are for passenger automobiles. It can readily be seen that this difference of automobiles consuming gasoline more than offsets the decline in tax. The reason for this drop in sales of license plates is augmented by the general business condition, existing. The above figures are taken from the secretary of state’s office .and we trust that you will see fit

WITNESS EXCUSED. Now the above “evidence” was a fair sample of the kind of bunk that was used to convict me and other members of my administra-
tion.
It was ridiculously charged that I was in a liquor conspiracy with
Ernest Flatters.
Flatters was a gambler, who worked in Plug Walburn’s deceased joint on South Walnut street. When my police department closed up the Walburn joint. Flatter moved to Hartford City and was there during the most of my administration. If he made any money gambling or liquor selling “under me,” it was in Hartford d r j z . lYrtty, after I had closed up the place where he was working in
Muncie.
The proof that I was in a conspiracy with Flatters was the word of the hoodlum Quirk, who testified to an untruth, according to Flatters, who said, no such conversation ever occurred. What Flatters did tell me was that a threat was served on him to send him to Federal prison if he did not make the false statement that he had conspired with me to sell liquor. He is now in Federal
prison.
The significant feature of Quirk’s testimony was that the city council employed him to “get Dale,” later .amending his testimony by declaring that it was not the council, but Parkinson was the one who paid him, and that Parkinson was the only member of the council he had direct dealings with. District Attorney Jeffrey recognized the odor raised by Quirk’s statement that Parkinson was the “payoff” man for the crowd that “Wanted to get rid of Dale,” and made Quirk change his testimony twice, on re-direct examination, in order to delouse the department of justice and absolve the department from association with Bob Parkinson as an individual, and the council as a whole. As noted above his first question, on re-direct examination, was not a question, it was testimony by himself, requiring corroboration by his own witness. Quirk, who had spilled the beans. “The only people you were working for was the city council, who represented the city of Muncie, is that true?” Poor Quirk saw he had put his foot in it, so he replied, “yes, sir, and then got himself in bad again with District Attorney Jeffrey by adding, “and then I did some work for Mr. Denny and Mr. Devlin. On cross ex amination by Mr. McClellan, as noted above, to the question put by McClellan, “were you working for the Federal officers in this case?”, the emphatic answer of Quirk was “No, No.! But a small matter of conflicting evidence cut no figure in that case. His evidence that I was in conspiracy with Flatter was accepted by the jury, regardless of the contradictory tales Quirk told ou the witness stand. And then note how quickly District Attorney Jeffdey again came to the rescue of his witness and squirted more disinfectant on his own department. Jeffrey asked a double barreled
question by the district attorney, and students of his later course in At least I suppose it was for it was the revolution are of the opinion
that he never forgot the lesson. He rarely again undertook a bayonet charge against the patriots when he found them strongly entrenched. They had taken that kind of fight
followed by an interrogation point. But to me it meant a desperate attempt of the district attorney to
^ „ T . , ..'place words in the mouth of the Q. Who, in the city council, paid j w }j negs an( j ki u ff ^i m j n t 0 testify-

manuscript.

On this day (June 17), 157 years ago, there happened an event known to every school child in America as one that all his life has thrilled him with pride in being an American. That event, we are told by the United States George Washington Bicentennial Corn-mis-sion, was the battle of Bunker Hill, the first real battle of the Ameri-
can Revolution.
Every boy and girl born or taught in this country knows the story of that little army of patriots who dared to defy what was then che greatest military power on earth, that they and their descendants might live here in a land free
and independent.
Dealt Severe Blow.
We know they were driven from their rude redoubt only when their ammunition was gone and they were about to be overpowered by overwhelming numbers of the best trained troops of Europe, charging with bayonet. We know that the patriots last 140 killed, 271 wounded and 30 prisoners. These losses occurred, not so much during the action, but afterwards, during the retreat. when the warriors for freedom had neither bayoefcs to de’ed themselevs, nor powder for their deadly marksmanship. But though in the technical military sense the outcome was scored as a defeat for the patriots, while they did have the power to fight, they de'ilt suc-h blows to their enemies •as had an effect on all the rest of the war. Indeed it is only now after these many years, that military historians are able to calculate this moral effect of the battle of Bunker Hill on the whole aftercourse of British military operations during the Revolution.
Profound Influence.
Un'il recent years. Bunker HM1 has been traditionally regarded as, magnificent, but futile gesture on the part of the patriots—not so much a military action as the subject of poems and the inspiration for patriotic speeches. Now the students of military history concede that Bunker Hill had profound influence on after events and was one of the turning points in the successful struggle for independ-
ence.
It will be remembered that soon after Bunker Hill, General Sir William Howe was placed in supreme command of the British troops, and every student of history is familiar With the covert sneers aimed at Howe as a dawdler. His delays are given as one of the chief reasons why Washington prospered so well against him. Now the keen mili tary analyst sees the reason for Howe’s otherwise unaccountable unwillingness to press the frequent adantages he won over General Washington. Dreadful Slaughter. The United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission ooints out that Howe, before taking over chief command, was the general leading the British assault in Bunker Hill. He charged with his men, and was an eye-witness to the dreadful slaughter of his soldiers from the deadly fire of the patriot riflemen in their redoubt. Never had he seen such accurate marksmanship. Every school boy knows the partiot command to ‘ffiold your fire till you see the whites of their eyes,” and how well the command was obeyed. Especially had the American marks men been toid to pick off the British officers, and well they did their
work.
Howe escaped, but the modern military authorities are of the opinion that he received the shock of his ife during that slaughter of his men. The British soldier had never been trained to shoot with accuracy; his reliance was on the bay-!
onet. And
people you were working for was the city council, IS THAT TRUE?” Quirk gave him a double barreled answer by answering “yefc, sir,” and then reversed his testimony that the only people £e was working for was the council, by adding that he had also done some work for Denny and Devlin, Feder-
al agents.
It was again up to Jeffrey to testify and demand corroboration by the befuddled Quirk. “You mean you were cooperating with them?” The answer was “yes. sir.
completely out of ihim, and at least one military historian, Thomas G. Frothingham, is of the opinion that the startling experience Howe received at Bunker Hill may have had a great deal to do with his subsequent lack of initiative. Time and again he had Washington cornered against overwhelming numbers, and neglected his opportunity. The reason, says Frothingham, was-Bunker Hill. o NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON AMENDMENT TO ZONORDINANCE.
