GIRL WITNESS IN AURORA CASE IS UNDER BOND Testimony in Slave Charge Hearing Reveals Unusual Condition. Following evidence given by Cecelia Chrlsman. a trim, clean cut, unusually at- I tractive 20-year-old Aurora (Ind.) girl, | in the hearing before Charles W. Moores, i United States commissioner, today, of j charges of violation of the Mann white slave act against James Weddle, an auto- | mobile dealer of Aurora, the witness was ; placed under bond of SI,OOO at the request of Frederick Van Nuys, United States district attorney. Weddle was bound fiver to the Federal grand Jury under bond of $5,000. \ The warrant on which Weddle was arrested charged that he transported Miss Chrlsman, who was his bookkeeper, to Cincinnati about March 10. The young • woman made no attempt to deny that she had gone to Cincinnati to meet Weddle, : but she insisted that the trip had been made at her own lequest and suggestion. In telling of other trips she made every possible effort to protect Weddle, who j has a wife and child and is about 35. She 1 told of one trip to Dayton, Ohio, In which she said she paid nil of her own expenses, although she said that Weddle, who at the time was conducting fifteen automobile through from Detroit, had telegraphed for her to meet him there with SIOO with which to help defray the expenses of his trip from Detroit. The insistenea of the young woman of taking responsibility on her own shoulders and a feeling that she was protecting Weddle, probably caused Mr. Nuys to Insist that she be put under bond. | Testimony given by Miss Chrlsman ; brought out the fact that the affair has caused a large sized social "rumpus’’ in Aurora, has caused her to leave home, I where she has been living with six brothers and sisters, her father and mother j being dead, and has cauted Weddle to i be arrested on the charge of breaking I into the Chrlsman home last week, j Miss Chrlsman sayg that after this she | left home and went to live at the Cottage Hotel in Aurora, and that she still occupies the position of bookkeeper and stenographer for Weddle. She denied that Weddle is paying any part of her living expenses and insisted that she Is taking care of herself. Her manner throughout was cool and deliberate and she proved entirely capable of taking care of herself under questions propounded by Samuel E. Garrison, assistant United States District Attorney, yho conducted the case for the Government.

Bids for the permanent Improvement of four streets and the resurfacing of three were rejected by the board of public works today on recommendation of City Civil Engineer Frank C. Lingenfelter that they were too high in view of the recent reduction In the price of asphalt. City Purchasing Agent Dwight S.

COMPOSER AS WELL AS COINER OF EXPLETIVES General Dawes’ Music More Euphonious Than His Cuss Words. CHICAGO, April 15 —Members of the | congressional committee investigating the : conduct of the w-ar who heard Brig. Gen. ! Charles G. Dawes give his testimony in , Washington recently, probably will agree that he knows how to express himself. \ His “Hell, Maria.’’ “damns” and other ex- j pletives rang throughout the country. But General Dawes, it was learned today, has other means of expressing the emotions of his soul. The scolder of Congressmen and cusser de luxe, who was General Pershing's purchasing agent In France, Is a musical composer of ability. Like as not the piece the orchestra played in the movie Inst night, when moonbeams were caressing lovers and the hero and the heroine were approaching the climax of their amorous affairs, was I composed by General Dawes. He has j written several pieces of that sort of ' music that movie orchestras have found i popular. | Among General Dawes' compositions Is a “march and two-step, In E major,” that ' everybody was whistling when the fox | trot and the shimmy were not. A march called “Fourth of July” was another. It has been several years since General , Dawes did any composing, but It became knbwn that he still toots the flute now and then, and that he can play the violin and cello. Long ago, they say, he shared one accomplishment claimed by President Harding—he played the cornet. Once, it Is said, he sided with the political opponent of his futher, Jtufus R. | Dawes, who sought office in Marietta,

HOWE TALKS ON LAW AND ORDER TO A HANDFUL (Continued From Fuse One.) I voters at the Bowen Service station, 037 | Ft. Wayne avenue. Mr. Howe spoke of law and order again last night at 1215 North Senate avenue. A block farther north Rufe Page, famed for his operation of gambling Joints' without molestation from the police during Republican administrations, loafed in front of his latest joint. A Times reporter sauntered up to Rufe. u “Good meeting they are having for Mr. Howe down the street there,” the reporter remarked. “That Wo," replied Rufe. “How many they got?” “Thirty or forty.” “Room for any more?” “Might be." “Well, if there is I might round up n few and send ’em down,” said Rufe. From tlie direction of his poolroom Issued sounds of much hilarity. The fun was not molested, how'ever. The meeting at Lew Harris's place was to have been one of the important Howe meetings of the evening. When Mr. Howe, County Assessor Jack Douglas and the reporters arrived Jimmy Mann, chief Inspector In the city civil engineering department and Republican chairman of the Fifth ward, was standing in front of the saloon. Jimmy informed the candidate that he was too late, that the crowd had disappeared. It was 9:55 o'clock. When Mr. Howe got inside one of Harris's Uentenants explained In an apologetic tone: “We had an awful bunch here but they got away.” “There’s some of the boys in the back

room having an executive meeting," said Harris. “I’ll call ’em out.” He called and the workers came out and lined themselves up along the bar while Mr. Howe talked to them. At the Senate avenue and other meetings Mr. Howe warned the voters not to expect him to suddenly make things so very much cheaper if he Is elected mayor. ncTfaith in promises OF QUICK RELrKF. “We to It, however, that we have an honest, capable, saving city administration,” he said. “I don’t have any faith In promises of quick relief In several different directions that are being made. We know perfectly well those promises cannot be kept.” He frequently attacked the record of Samuel Lewis Shank as mayor, and said that if “I'd like to get out of town for the next four years.” He told the negro voters: “We want to be friends during the four years of my administration. We want to go down the road together." TASTE OF STREETS LEADS TO REMARKS. the automobile In which he was riding had floundered through some of the miserably rongh streets In the negro quarter he told his audience at Agnes and Walnut streets: “You’ve got to have some streets improved out here. I found that out when I came out here. I got out here allirlght, but it was only because I had the best driver in Marion County, Jack Douglas.” Miss Laurianna Young, a negro girl who was a student in Butler College under Mr. Howe, speaking at the Agnes and Walnut streets meeting, declared that there was no truth in reports that
