DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1927.

SAYS FITZGERALD OWED FOR LEASES Ex-Superintendent Os Oil Leases Testifies In Trial At Detroit Deirolt, Aug. 3. —(United Press) — F. J. Chipman. (ormer superintendent of the Security Oil and Refining company's holdings near Scottsville, Ky., testified today at the trial of E. D. Fitzgerald, Detroit promoter, charged with using the mails to defraud, that the holdings ‘‘were not near worth" as much as Fitzgerald represented when he sold out. F.tzgeraAd is accused of misrepresenting the value of Kentucky and Indiana oil holdings of the company to Walter R. Varnes and Charles R. defrauding them. Edeity, Independence, Kansas, and Chipman, who examined the books of the company, testified that numerous shares of Its stock had been issued to Fitzgerald and that he had not paid for them. His testimony was intended to offset Fitzgerald's defense that he was merely an agent for the company and not an active official. o MANY MEANINGS GIVEN TO CAL’S ANNOUNCEMENT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) meaning of them. They attempt to see motives hidden in ihem which do not exist. They know Mr. Coolidge has a keen sense of publicity and a more than ordinary intuition of its results. 1 Some of the newspapermen who have been with him for years have even called him the “greatest showman on earth” because of his ability 'to sense public feeling. They argue that the president merely put out the statement as a carefully worded document to quiet the talk about a “third term,” Mid to stop the line of political opposition which has theoretically * chased him into a corner to squeeze him out on the subject at to whether he was a candidate. | There are others who say these arguments are fallacious —and shrewd I politicians here agree with them —because a man who says lie is not a candidate for office loses 90 per cent, of his political momentum. He opens, they say, the way to other candidates who otherwise would stick under cover. The truth of the matter is. according to reliable information furnished the United Press, that Mr. Coolidge is getting just a little tired of the job which has physically disabled or hindered the last presidents. His health is good, according to Dr. James F. Coupal, but the. doctor doesn’t attempt to state his worries and tribulations. There have been indications which newspapermen could not overlook, indication he is not quite his usual self. By his actions, therefore, he has lent credence to an opinion among his friends that he is tired of the office ' and anxious to avoid it for another | term. To these persons his statement rings true and causes the belief to grow in their minds that he meant every word he said. Mr. Coolidge often has caused similar political consternation before. He announced his candidacy for Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts 10 years ago by saying. "I am a candidate tor Lieutenant Governor.” I When he talked against the soldiers’ bonus he phrased his opposiI tion in such away that many organiLating men in the senate believed he 1 would not veto the measure but support it. There is no one close enough to the president to tell what he really meant. | o Road From Bluffton To Muncie To Be Paved Hartford City, Aug. 3—At a meeting! held in this city Monday evening by j the local Rotary Club with representatives of the State Highway Commis-| sion, the Commission representatives gave assurance that state road No. 3 through this city from Bluffton to Muncie would be paved with a hard surface' composition early next spring, thus linking Fort Wayne with Indianapolis by pavement. | Preliminary work has practically been completed on state road No. 3 between Muncie and Bluffton. Highway workman have been employed for the past several weeks in widening the giade and putting the road in shape for application of hard surface. Screened stone has already been deposited along both sides of the grade and will be applied and smoothed down before the hard surface is put on. Farmers along the road have all practically completed the moving of their fences back from the road grade. l i

ABOfclGlN’fe SHORN OF FANTASTIC MYTH Liked Fine Raiment and Could Fight. Columbus, Ohio. —The mound-build-ing aborigine of America, stripped of the fantastic myths which have hovered above him, is revealed as a savage who loved line raiment and ornamentation, paid great attention to ceremonials, trafficked with distant tribes, and could tight when he hud to. This appraisal has been readied Iq’ the Ohio State Archeological mid Historical society after more than two decades of exploration In the great mounds of earth and stone built as ceremonial sites, and found In their greatest completeness in Ohio. A patient striving for beauty is depicted In the remains of mound-build- , lug civilization uncovered in recent months in the Selp mound, scene of "The Great Pearl Burial of Ohio." | Tn this primitive but recent regal tomb of the red man were unearthed tire kinds of cloth, leather finely tanned and dressed, and thousands upon thousands of pearls. Within the mound, 250 feet long, 150 foot wide and 27 feet high, explorers found under a layer of cobblestones an Interior mound built of puddled loam, inclosing four burial cribs of logs, 16 feet square. Two men, two women and two children were the skeletal occupants of the tomb, the men resting on copper breastplates. Around them were myriads of fresh water mussel pearls, some the size of small seeds and others big as hazelnuts. All had been worn as necklaces, armlets, anklers or stomachers. Beneath the copper plates was disclosed evidence of the splendid burial robes on which the dead were laid, They were beautifully woven, In conventional designs with concentric circles and curving bands, and colored with vegetable dyes in red, maroon, orange, yellow and black. In the moment of their finding, archeology's estimate of mound builder culture was lifed to a new plane. Five pipes carved from steatite, a dense dark stone flocked with crystal, were found—all highly polished, one weighing more than seven pounds. They were ceremonial council pipes, two carved to resemble dogs and others fashioned after an owl, a bear and a whippoorwill. Delving again Into the mound this summer, President Arthur C. Johnson, Sr., and the society, and H. C. Shetrone, curator of its museum, expect to find new treasures at its heart. Even if the mound yields nothing more, its exploration has added a fascinating chapter to the century-long search into the unwritten history of America’s ancient peoples. Woman Sells Time to London Watchmakers London.—One of the most unusual businesses in the world has been conducted for years by a London family. It is the business of selling the time to watchmakers. The present owner of the business is Miss Belleville, daughter of its founder. Once a week she visits the Greenwich observatory and sets her watch by the delicate time-determining instruments there. The business was founded in 1831. The then royal astronomer suggested to the elder Belleville that there were people in need of the exact time who were willing to pay to obtain it. He followed the suggestion and soon had a thriving trade with all the watchmakers of London as customers. The business brings Its owner In an annual income of about $2,500. Four-Year-Old Baby Elephant Dies of Cold New York. —Lila, a little four-year-old Burma elephant, died in her home in the Central park zoo, just off Fifth avenue. She was owned by Ellis Joseph. a dealer, of 129 Mosholu parkway, the Bronx, who said she had contracted a cold on the way to this country. The body was discovered when Jewel, an older elephant, began trumpeting. Nandine, a sister, survives. She is in a circus r.ow touring Georgia. 00000000-000000000000000000 X Beliefs About Twins Are Refuted by Test o 5 Madison, Wis. —Twins are p 9 folks just like the rest of us, g p are not mentally handicapped, p 9 nnd do not acquire similar char- 9 6 acterislics with age.

Back Ached So He Couldn’t Bend Over Had to Get Up Several Times Every Night. Trouble Gone Now. "Six weeks ago I got a severe aching in my back. It just seemed as if my back would break in two, and I could not stoop over without pain. I was nervous, had to get up several times during the night to attend to nature’s laws, and did not sleep well. I would get up in the morning with a dull aching headache and feeling just as tired as when I went to bed. Nothing did me any good till I found Viuna, and right from the first I began to improve. The hurting in my back stopped and I went to bed and got a good night’s rest. My nervousness has gone and I can sit down to the table and eat a good hearty meal. I tell you Viuna is a wonder. I don’t have to get up at all at night any more and am feeling fine.” —A. M. Caudell, Fortville, Ind. Viuna acts promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys.
