ARMS PARLEY BEING WATCHED ¥ BY HAWAIIANS Island Folk Keenly Interested in Japan-Pacific-America Matters. HONOLULU. Dec. 9. —The statement of Premier W. F. Massey of New Zealand, made on the occasion of his stop In Honolnln en route to his home after attending the all-British premiers’ conference recently held in London, to the effect that “a tripartite agreement as betweeen Britain, America and Japan would be th.' best arrangement possible, and if this result could be obtained at the Washington armaments reduction conference the Pacific problem would be solved for some time and a great step taken toward lasting peace,” has caused much Interested comment throughout Hawaii. Due to its situation in the middle of the Pacific, almost half way between mainland America and the Orient, Hawaii is perhaps more interested in the peaceful solution of our Pacific problems than is any other section of the United States. MAS SET PROPOSAL LISTENED TO. Prem'er Massey, in his suggestion of a tripartite agreement to include Japan, admittedly the source of America's worries concerning the Pacific, has voiced the sentiments of many of Hawaii’s leading citizens who, through long association with the Japanese people here resi dent, have come to believe that they are capable of meeting other nations on an equal footing and working with them solve the problem which Japan herself created. These men point to the amicable relations existing between American citizens in Hawaii and the educated members of the Japanese population of the islands, claiming that what can be accomplished thus on a small scale can equally well be accomplished on a large international scale. As for British participation in such an agreement as that suggested. Hawaii with her rather large British population, her long history of friendly relations with Britain, and her neighborly relations with the British colonies to the south, takes such participation for granted. POME SEE JAP MENACE. Another element in Hawaii is apparently unalterably opposed to participation with Japan in any sort of International compart or agreement. This element, in which may be found gjany of the old-time Hawaiians, look upon the presence of the Japanese in Hawaii as a distinct menace and can see no solution for the problem save the deportation of Japanese nationals now here and the subsequent exclusion of all Japanese, a solution which could result only in war between the two nations. The idea that i Japan might if allied with America be persuaded to withdraw a certain percentage of her people from American soil In return for possible concessions elsewhere does not appear U> this rather ; radical faction to be at all likely. The general trend of opinion in Hawaii : appears to be that only by the presenta- I tlon of the facts on both sides and the 1 ppen-minded consideration of these facts by all parties concerned can any solution of our Pacific problems be arrived at. and because of this widespread be- . lief Premier Massey’s suggestion has on whole met with approval iii Hawaii, *s it involves such discussion and consideration on the part of the three nations most vitally interested in the Pacific 6 —Britain, Japan and the United Fitates. 4-POWER PACT APPROVED IS HIGH REPORT (Continued From Page One) Secretary of State Hughes. A. J. Balfour, Baroi. Kato and M. Viviani. There was a lengthy session of the ‘‘big three” nnd later the French spokesman was called In. The progress which is reported in regpect to the main work of the conference led to renewed hope on the part of the visiting delegations that they will be out of the Washington trenches by Christmas. It is not anticipated that all of the work of the conference will have been completed by that date, but the visitors believe that sufficient will have been accomplished to allow the pi'ncipal figures to depart, leaving to minor officials, perhaps to a council of Washington ambassadors, the completion of minor agreements. The principal bar to an early getaway, according to foreign spokesmen, is the Chlno-Japanese situation in which little progress has been made. In view of the chaotic situation prevailing in the Chinese delegation, it waa suggested in both British and Japanese circles today that it might be wise to postpone China's case until a later meeting of the powers, perhaps next summer. * CROWFOOT WILL CHANGE NAME Town Was Tribute to Great Indian Leader. EDMONTON, Alta., Dec. 9.—01d timers in the Canadian West regret the recent change of the name of a small town in Alberta from Crowfoot, Crossing to Gleichen. The original name was a tribute to one of the great Indian leaders of the West. Crowfoot, chief of the Blackfeet and head of the powerful confederacy of Blackfeet. Bloods, Piegans, Sarcees and other allied tribes. His jurisdiction extended over 10,000 warriors. He was the white man’s steadfast friend In critical years. He held at one time the fate of the West in his hands. That was in ISSS Louis Riel, leader of the half-breeds and Indians in the Riel rebellion, had sent his runners through the Indian villages to stir up war against the whites. Many of the tribes were ready to strike. It remained for Crowfoot to say the word and the West would have been deluged with blood and the scattered settlements wiped off the map. The United States was a great nation in 18S5, but Western Canada was little better than a wilderness. The Hudson's Bay Company had surrendered to Canada its old empire. The Canadian Pacific Railway had not yet reached the Pacific Coast, but settlers were beginning to swarm in along its unfinished line. The marvelous transformation of the prairies into one of the greatest farming regions in the world has taken place within the last forty years. The time was psychologically ripe for k an Indian uprising. If the red men had ' torn up the new railway and made a determined stand, the development of the West would have been held back a half century. Crowfoot gave Riel’s emissaries f respectful audience, but refused to Join the rebellion. His decision saved the West a'long and bloody war. GIRL INJURED BY CITY CAR. Miss Marian Greene, 726 Grove avenue, was slightly injured today when she was struck by a College avenue car at Meridian and Washington streets. She was taken home in an automobile.

MOTHER OF FIVE REJECTS PROPOSAL FOR OPERATION

In Denver there is a woman, mother of five children, who has scornfully rejected a proposal that she submit to an operation to prevent her having more children. The proposal was made so she might better care for the children she has. In New York there appeared a

Girl Reared in Kentucky Hills Organizes Church , Becomes Only Woman Bishop

If you believe in God, don’t be afraid to let Him know it. Political parties at conventions yell themselves hoarse when' a nominee is mentioned. Why not shout in ecstacy when the name of the Lord is called ? If you are happy, let the whole world know It. Don’t keep your joy bottled up. Show pep! Lift up your voice 1 Work your arms, shake your shoulders, and shuffle your feet! On with the holy dance and save your soul! Such, In short, seems to be the sub- j stance of the Pillar of Fire faith. Radi- 1 cal, no doubt, but effective, judging from ' the rapid growth of this unconventional sect, not only in the United States, but in other parts of the world. Strange In more ways than one is this new Christian faith; for its leader is of the so-called gentler sex, Mrs. Alma White, and she bears the distinction of being the only woman in the world who is privileged to j prefix her name with the title bishop. CHILDHOOD SPENT IN KENTUCKY HILLS. Her rise from childhood on a poor little farm in the hills of Kentucky to founder of the Pillar of Fire Church and "only woman bishop” is indeed phenomenal and a most interesting story. Perhaps no person in the public eye today has come up through harder knocks to a stage of apparent success in life than she. Born in a large family whose meager fortune led its children continually through the straits of poverty, she has known what it is to struggle for an existence. Her father, William Moneure Eridwell. was of Virginia stock and had moved into Kentucky during its early days, and later engaged in the tanning business with the father and brother of U. S. Grant, ne married Mary Ann Harrison of Irish and English descent, and ! reared eleven children. MolUe Alma was the seventh child and one of seven sisters, j William and Mary Bridweil were de- , termlned, in as far as it was possible, ! to give their children what education the schools of that day could afford them, but it was little Alma’s ill fortune to be considered the dullest one of the family, and she was most of the time kept at home when the other children were sent to school, not only bcause she was great- • ly needed to help with the work both in ! the house and on the farm, but also bej cause the money could be more advan- ! tageously spent in the education of her j brothers and sisters, it was thought, j Alma took this as a great hardship, as she had a strong desire for an education. Finally, however, she was enabled to go to school for a short time, and though affected with abnormal bashfulness, to the surprise of her friends and the chagrin of her sisters, made enviable progress. When she was about 17 years of age she received a high grade certifij cate to teach in the public schools and a i few months later the family moved from ; Kinuikinnick, Lewis County, Kentucky, Ito Bourbon County, where she entered i the Millersburg Female College. ; ENGAGES IN MISSIONARY WORK IN MONTANA. 1 At the age of 19, Miss Bridweil received an invitation from an aunt living in what was then the wlldß of Montana Territory to visit her on a more or less protracted stay. By the strange Irony of fate, the aunt, on giving her the invitation, had made a last resort to the one girl of all the sisters whom she liked the least; the one, in fact, for whom she confessed positive dislike. The other ; sisters, being afraid and unwilling to venture out into the land of Jesse James, cowboys and Indians, had one after another refused to go. What would sht do? It was one of the great crises of her life. Characteristic of what proved in later years to be the most dauntlev of pioneer spirits, I Alma determined to accept the invita- | tion, and three months previous to her \ twentieth birthday started on her long ' journey. Breaking of home ties was by Ino means easy. The hardest person to ■ leave was her mother. But Alma had j that something in her that takes the I step She had been converted at the age of 16, and while not at all luring, the wild west appealed to her as a great missionary field. It was a day long to be remembered when, alone and full of misgivings, she started on her great and seemingly dangerous adventure. Having arrived safely in Montana which had not then been admitted as a State, Miss Bridweil began to teach school at Bannaek City, and thereafter for several years followed that profession, also being missionary work as time and opportunity afforded, in the meantime sending home most of her wages for the ! education of her younger brothers and sisters. The story of her life during these years reads like a novel. Teaching school in the wild west in those days with the outlawry, daredevlltry, nnd barbarism was no easy vocation, bat the young woman made a great success of it and proved herself able to manage pupils where other teachers had hopelessly failed. Indians who were not always friendly often camped in close proximity to the sebo .house, where there was no human j.-otectlon except that of the larger upils. In 1887 she married Kent White, at Denver, Colo., who was then a ministerial student in a Methodist university. Previous to her marriage. Miss Bridweil was employed for a year by the Woman's Home Missionary Society to teach school in a Methodist seminary in Salt Lake City. Later, as a minister’s wife, sne began to take active interest in postoral work and despite the fact that the Metnodist Church gave no official recognition to woman’s ministry, occupied her husband's pulpit occasionally herself. Sfie devoted considerable time to revival work. ESTABLISHES MISSIONS OF INDEPENDENT CHARACTER. It was not long before she proved to be a powerful teacher and such success attended her efforts that she soon aroused not only great interest but also much opposition. The Methodist bishop

mother of six children, Mrs. Jessie McCarthy Antidorni, who asks that such an operation be performed on her so thai she may give better care and obtain educational privileges for her brood. Mrs. Antidorni is the wife of Angelo Antidorui, a plumber’s assistant. They have been

and presiding elders, feeling that she 1 was getting out of her place, frowned upon her, and took steps for the suppression of her work. But she continued to preach the gospel in the apostolic fashion, notwithstanding all that was aid and done to stop her. Jn time she began to establish missions of an In aependent character. At this she soon acquired a consider- | able following and in 1901 organized her constituency into a regular society. This point, to put If briefly, was reached through most heroic battling for her rights and convictions. For years she had been pioneering almost alone the way for woman's ministry. Never in her life was she inclined to push herself forward as a woman. Quite the contrary, she was of a retiring disposition. Moreover, she had two sons, Arthur and Kay, that required a mother’s care and she could not neglect them, but she was impelled by a relentless purpose to save souls and felt a definite call to preach. With it had come a degree of faith In God that has ever staggeered her friends and followers as well as her enemies. In 1902 the new little society was Incorporated under the State laws of Colorado. No one felt that much would come of It. Even her husband was of a doubtful mind. He on many occasions had opposed her most tenaciously In her work. In fact, at times he constituted a great block In her way. Never dtd he dream when he, a Methodist minister of strong will and talent, married the unpretending young woman from the hills of Kentucky, that he was tying up to what would prove to be a personality more powerful and resourceful than his own. And afterward when he saw It he was, perhaps, not just Inclined to concede it, and so naturally was of little en- \ couragement to her. Suffice it to say, the little society ! has outstripped even Its own most ardent hopes, and through the years Mrs. White with an amazing faith In God and undaunted purpose has been Its great , dynamic force. People are naturally interested In Bishop White as a personality, and are , constantly seeking to know the Becret of her success. She gives God the glory for what she has done, maintaining that she is only a poor instrument in Ills hands. All this may be conceded, but it must nevertheless be said that Mrs. White Is an extraordinary woman. For years she has been and continues to be a baffling puzzle to even her most Intimate friends. Her resourcefulness and initiative have at times beeeu dumfound- j lng. REGARDS NOTHING AS IMPOSSIBLE. She has a way of thinking that noth- j . ing is impossible and a disposition to j act accordingly. Once possessed with a purpose to do this or thnt thing, once, as she says, “getting the mind of the i Lord” on any particular project, she proI coeds as though nothing Instead of everything were against her. At one time, for instance, In the tarly history,of the organization she felt ‘ led” jto start around the world. The fact that she had no money did not seem to her !to be any reason for not doing so. If It ; did, she Ignored It and started, having in her pocket Just 40 cents and a ticket from Denver, Colo., to Omaha. From ; here she somehow succeeded In reaching Chicago, where, In answer to prayer, ns she says, transportation was furnished I her to London by a railroad and steam- | ship company who were booking missionaries for foreign fields. Here she stopped, not because she could not or would not have gone on. but because, having started services there the people turned out in thousands to hear her preaeh, and she was made to feel that London was for the time her divinely appointed destina- ! i tion. And so it proved, for that visit to | London resulted later in the establish- ! lng of a Pillar of Faith branch there. As In traveling so In everything else, including the putting op of buildings. On two or three occasions, for instance, she has asked the masons and carpenters of j the organization to start work on some new building without a dollar In sight to do It with, saying that if they hesitated on account of lack of funds she would begin excavating with pick and shovel herself. At one time she actually started digging ground for anew barn and garage that had been needed for some time at Zarephath, N. J., the headquarters of the Pillar of Fire. It is not necessary to add that the building went up. Bishop White has proved to her satisfaction that where there is a will, plus some faith, there is a way. There seems to be scarcely anything to which Bishop White has not or will not turn her hand. She has planned buildings, directed In the laying ont of campus grounds and the planiing of trees built roads, written books, composed songs, edited papers, managed finances, and interested herself in polities even lo the extent in the last presidential election, for instance, of prophesying In one of her papers the nomination of Harding and attending the Republican convention j at Chicago to see that it was done—all In addition to her regular work as evangelist nnd bishop. One of the chief objects of Mrs. White’s ministry is the championing of the cause of women,. I.UARVS ATTO DRIVING AND SWIMMING AT 65. At 55 after much trepidation she learned to drive automobiles and passed th® New Jersey State examination for .driver's license. About the same time she tried her hand at swimm'ng. and succeeded, a thing which she had never done ; before because she was much afraid of the water, and Inter took to horseback riding, all of which, though perfectly consistent with her way of doing things greatly surprised her friends. Another seeret of her success Is In her disposition to “do It now.” Perhaps no little amount of Bishop White's influence ns a lender and orI ganizer is due to her personal appear-

anee. Haring a strang countenance and being rather tall and stoutly built, she makes a marked impression. She has often been accused at first sight of coldness and reserve. But a little acquaintance readily proves her to be of quite the contrary nature. Indeed, as all who know her will avow, she Is a most aifa* ble and tender-hearted woman. Bishop White claims that w lat she has accomplished has only been through great suffering, both physical and mental. And it Is true. Years ago doctors said she had a weak heart and only one good lung and predicted for her an early death. A tendency to over weight has constantly been a cause of anxious concern for her health and has often given her occasion to go on long fasts or the most meager of diets. Notwithstanding her physical weakness she has scarcely staid in bed a day for thirty years. She has simply defied sickness and pushed ahead. AUTHOR OF SIXTEEN BOOKS. in addition to founding the Pillar of Fire Church with Its splendid missionary staff, she has wrltteu sixteen books, composed over one hundred hymns, edits six papers In Ameri-’n and England, and has founded schools, among which are Alma College in New Jersey and the new Westmlster College lrv Denver, Colo. She has traversed the continent for years and has made thirty trips across the ocean. Mrs White was recently consecrated first bishop of tho Pillar of Fire Church, In accordance with provisions as set forth In the Pillar of Fire discipline, having been ordained an elder nearly twenty years previous by duly ordained ministers. Though absolutely independent as a church In Itself, the Pillar of Fire is essentially an offshoot of Methodism and holds to the same fundamentals both In doctrine nnd administration. Mrs. White, as founder and general superintendent, has to all Intents and purposes acted In the capacity of a bishop for seventeen years. It had been her function as its offlelsl head both to direct in the policies of the church nnd to give to its missionaries, evangelists, nnd ministers their respective field and local appointments. For years tho church had contemplated her consecration as n bishop, and therefore, after the publication of Its first official discipline, in which provision for the ceremony had been duly made, Mrs. White, after unanimous vote, was formally consecrated bishop by tnc laying on of hands at tho general conference held at Zarephath, N. J., In the presence of hundreds of delegates and members of the church from all parts of tho United States and England.

2 INDICTED ON FIRST DEGREE MURDER CH ARGE Grand Jury Returns 19 True Bills in Partial Report. Two indictments charging first-degree murder today were returned by the Marion County grand jury when nineteen indictments were returned as the twenty-fifth partial report. Mildred Wilson, now in jail, was indicted on the charge of the murder of James Wilson on Dec. 1 last. Earl Marshall, who is in jail, was indicted on a charge of the murder of Henry Gregory, ou Nov. 10, by shooting him. Other indictments were returned as follows: Billie D. Lloyd, vehicle faking; Fleming F. Wright, assault and battery with intent to rob; Roosevelt Greer, burglary; Don Banks, embezzlement; David Jackson, entering a house to commit a felony; George Byrd and George Winegar. vehicle taking; Andrew Harris, grand larceny; Haywood Brown, burglary and grand larceny; Everett Bridgewater, Guy Sacked and Ttrmas Spellman. vehicle taking; Charles G. Chase, false statement; Herbert Bush, 567 Chase street, assault and battery with intent to rob. and Edgar Payne, Gl6 Barnhill street, assault and battery with intent to murder George Zedan, 1039 West Walnut street. Names of others indicted were not made public because they are not under arrest or bond. FORMER MAYOR IMPLICATED IN BOOZE HEARING (Continued From Page One.) were imposed upon public officials who had been guilty of violating their oaths. Asa result every defendant of this character received a sentence to the Federal prison at Leavenworth. All others received Jail sentences or fines. In a number of ins'ances technical sentences of one day In Jail were Imposed. Before sentences were Imposed many, of the defendants made statements, and there was a general exposure of t'..e workings of the Muncle underworld. Captain Fox, police officer for many years, said: “My troubles are due to my superiora.” Under questioning of the court he said thnt former Mayor Rollin 11. Bunch, former Prosecutor Horance G. Murphy and form Chief of Police Mcllvaine had instructed him that he was to work strictly under thoir orders nnd not to do anything without their sanction. lie also blamed Gene Williams, another defendant, for hia downfall. Gene Williams gladly took the blame saying: “I am the cause of those officers being indicted and I am proud of it.” cot RT ROOM BRAWL ENLIVENS AFFAIRS. The proceedings were enlivened by a court room brawl between Patrolman Ell Scott and Daisy Dean, two negro defendants. The woman characterized the polihe officer as the “worst policeman In Muncle,” and Scott retalllated by saying. “Judge, Daisy Dean Is one of the very worst women In the town.” “Well for all I know, both of yon may be right,” Judge Anderson said. Down to the very last the namo of W. A. McClellan, city Judge of Muncle, kept cropping up at regular intervals. “I was only a small bootlegger in Muncle,'' Hugh Barry said, “and every time I got any money Judge McClellan would take It away from me. He would send men to me to sell me whisky and then fine me for having It.” It seems no term of Federal Court is complete without Its sensational “Muncle case.” This has held good for several years past and all Indications point to a highly successful Muncle hunting season by the next Federal grand jury. Prominent among those who may be investigated are Clarence Benedum, prosecuting attorney of Delaware County; Thomas ITlatt. sheriff; Harry Michaels, city controller of Muncle; W. A. “Red” McClellan, city Judge, and two former officials who already have felt the heavy hand of the United States Government and have Served prison terms Imposed by Ju Ige Albert IS. Anderson, Rollin Bunch, former mayor, nnd Horace Murphy, former prosecuting attorney. The names of these men have been mentioned with more or less frequency In the trial of the Muncle liquor conspiracy cases which have been tinder way before Judge Albert B. Anderson since Wednesday, and yesterday Judge \nderson announced In open court that further Investigations would be made as to the situation In Muncle. The statement was made while Judge Anderson was considering the matter of Imposing sentence on four defendants who had Just been found guilty by a Jury and thirty-six other defendants who already had entered pleas of guilty to charges of conspiracy to violate tho Federal liquor laws. WONDERS WHY JUDGE WASN’T INDICTED. I Gene Williams, a defendant who had entered a plea of guilty, said that he

DANTE STATUE GIVEN TO AMERICA

could not understand why Judge McClellan had not been indicted. “I have wondered myself,’’ Judge Anderson said, "and he will have another chance to be indicted.” Judge Anderson directed District Attorney Frederick Van Nuys from time to time to take down certain names with a view to having their lleged connection with the conspiracy Investigated. The court also ordered that five residents of Muncle, Crlpit McCormick, William Baker, Bertie Williams, William Chapman and a girl whose residence but name was not known, bo brought into court at 10 o'clock this morning to testify as to the character and number of places ruu by John Sullivan, a defendant. "And meantime If any one interferes with them, there will be trouble around this courthouse, [ want that understood.” Judge Anderson said. Apparently he had reference to certain Instances mentioned by witnesses where attempts had been made to induce witnesses to change their testimony or to coerce them. WILL DISPOSE OF CASES TODAY. All forty cases will be disposed of by Judge Anderson today. The Jury which tried Timothy S. Owens, justice of the peace; L. Scott, negro patrolman; Maggie Lampklns and Carrie Brown, negroes, said to be proprietors of blind timers, was out less than thirty minutes before returning a verdict of guilty. The fireworks for the afternoon started when William ‘Robertson, one of the principal defendants, asked permission to make a statement. An air of expectancy filled the courtroom when Robertson took the stand and it was evident that the spectators expected him to Implicate ethers. Robertson was generally regarded as the principal collector of “protection” money from the Muncle'underworld after Chauncey Stillson went to Federal prison. He testified that while Bnneh was mayor he paid Bunch as high as S2OO a week for protection for various places, and that three or four weeks be paid the money to Prosecutor Murphy. “What, this same Murphy who used to tench Sunday School and between times preach at Bethany Park?" Judge Anderson Interjected. “This man Murphy who was sentenced to Federal Prison for connection with swindle and fake prize fighting schemes at Muncle?” Later when .Murphy’s name was again mentioned Judge Anderson turned to Marshal Mark Storen and said: “This Is the same Murphy, Is It not, who came down here when you took him to prison, got the newspaper men around him and then asked you if he would be permitted to take a Bible to prison with him ?" Marshal Storen said the Incident had happened. “I really think Murphy is the greatest hypocrite that was ever in this court, and that is saying a good deal," Judge Anderson said. Robertson then went on to say that only six or seven weeks ago Murphy had come to him and said that James Black, another defendant, was In trouble and that if SSOO could be raised as attorney fees for him perhaps Black would not testify In the present trial to the things he testified before the Federal grand jury last winter. HEARS OUT OTHER TESTIMONY. This corroborated testimony that had been given by Black on Wefetesday. Gene Williams, former pfc’ecutor cf Delaware County, also made a statement which was received with the greatest interest by Judge Anderson. Williams frankly admitted that he had been Implicated In one transportation of liquor from Ohio to Muncle almost three years ago, but said that there was nothing else. He said that he had aided the Government In this case, a statement corroborated by O. W. Roberts, former Investigator for the Bureau of Investigation of the Department of Justice, whose work at Muncle resulted in the return of indictments against the defendants in the present case. Asa result of this aid, Williams said he had been persecuted, nssaulted and almost driven out of the practice of his profession in Muncie. “1 was assaulted twice, the last time only two veeks ago by Harry Michaels, city controller, and his brother. This happened after I had gone to tho police station and asked for protection, which was refused me by Captain Fox.” REFERS MATTER TO DISTRICT ATTORNEY. Judge Anderson directed the district attorney to take down the name of Michaels. “They ran me out of business almost,” Williams continued. “I was forced to sell my law books.” Telling of the activities of Judge McClellan he said that the Judge even wanted to buy a certain church located in the red light district and turn it into a gambling room. Justice of the Peace Owens attempted to make a statement but didn't make much headway. “This affair has bothered me a lot he began, but got no farther. “Yes, and It is going to bother you more," Judge Anderson said. “1 am going to see to it that you are placed where Muncie is not bothered with you for a while.” Before this it had been brought out that Owens had held the offices of deputy

sheriff and justice of the peace at the same time. An element of comedy was Injected Into a serious situation when Snowden and Verne Walburn, brothers, were under consideration. Their attorney said: “They are out of business now and are leading a better life.” “Is that possible in Muncle?” Judge Anderson remarked. “Well one of them has taken his family and moved into the aristocratic section of town,” the lawyer said. “That does settle it then!" Judge Anderson answered with a gesture indicating utter hoplessness. John Sullivan got himself into a whole lot of trouble when he told the court that he operated only one blind tiger. Before this James Black had testified that Sullivan operated at least five. Judge Anderson probed into the matter deeply and mercilessly and brought out from Adkins Knuckles, Ora Pogue and Black that not only did Sullivan operate blind tigers, but that houses of ill fame were run in connection with them. Sullivan deuied these charges hotly, although he admitted owning the property in question, and Insisted that he could disprove the charges, which he characterized as a “frame up." It was then that Judge Anderson ordered Crippit McCormick, Bertie Williams, William Baker, William Chapman and the unknown young woman Irought into court at 10 o’clock this morning. DEFENDANT NOW UNDER SENTENCE. Dr. Xene Y. Smith, prominent physician of Muncle, and former police commissioner, who was Indicted in the present conspiracy, but was not brought to trial because of the fact that he nas been sentenced in the State courts for manslaughter, talked to Judge Anderson Just before court adjourned. Judge Anderson told Smith that if he would serve his minimum sentence of two years without making any efforts to obtain a parole or pardon the charges against him in Federal Court would not be pressed.

Hero represented the infantry at the burial of the Unknown Soldier. “Just the efficient training of the Regular Army,” explains this remarkable soldier, called the war’s bravest by General Pershing, as be modestly attempts to shift the credit for his acts. Sergeant WoodfiU is a six-foot Iloosier and may well be added to the list of talent that has come out of Indiana. “I was twenty years with tho Regular Army.” he says. But he does not complain that mention of hia splendid deeds of Oct. 191% lay buried in Army records for three years. Woodfiil wears his laurels well He is striking in appearance and somewhat , serious in manner. There Is about him the steadfastness of the pioneer. During i the war he was made a lieutenant and promoted to a captain for heroism. Upon ' returning to this country he re-enlisted at Fort Thomas. Ky., as a sergeant, but it Is hoped that he will be returned to [ the states of captain. EXCITEMENT IN HOUSEHOLD. In the McCot k household there was excitement amnt; the three young sons of the family concerning the hero who was coming to visit their father. Daniel, who has reached the dignity of twelve years, was more reserved than John Sheldon, who Ir eight. Just as John did not give way to the emotions thnt racked Philip. Philip possessed the Jumpingest heart that ever beat nder a 5-year-old size sweater. He finally had to have his hat Rnd coat put on so he could do sentinel duty outside the door of his dwelling till the great guest came. Sergeant WoodfiU probably will never have a more sincere admirer. From the sergeant’s vivacious young wife comes another type of testimonial. Mrs. WoodfiU says her husband does not disdain to help about the house or with the dishes, and is very good at “kitchen police.” Mrs. WoodfiU. a Kentuckian, Is a descendant of Daniel Boone, They have been married four yeara. PISTOL THES JAMMED. Sergeant WoodfiU was prevailed upon to discuss some of hts experiences: “I can remember in the Argonne how the Germans were sweeping the ground with a hall of bullets. One of them opened up on me when I was within ten yards of him. I got him. The next was about thirty-five yards off. I had to crawl along on my toes and elbows and throw myself down flat every now and then. After I fired about ninety rounds of ammunition it gave out. My pistol Jammed. “There was some American tool on the ground, a ’mattock’ such as engineers use —it's like a pick. 1 went after them with that—and that’s all.” “That's all"—-says the greatest hero of the United States, who is palpably a man of action and not conversation. But he does say of the funeral at Arlington of the unknown warrior: “That moved me deeply—it made & tremendous Impression.” •Would you like to see the Army, as well as the Navy, scrapped ?” he was asked. “Not altogether—l think we need a regular army of soldiers. For police, at least. Soldiers should be International I police. “But it might be a good thing to Umlt the Army." Sergeant WoodfiU is the son of John Samuel WoodfiU, a Mexican and CivU War veteran, and from earliest youth has been an expert shot. Some of his early days in “soldiering" were spent in Alaska and the Philippines. It was this familiarity with firearms that enabled this Hoosier to meet the Huns with equanimity. Besides the Congressional medal Sergeant WoodfiU wears a Croix de Guerre with palm, the Legion of Honor, and the Order of Prince Danielo of Montenegro. Because he had been commissioned from the ranks on his return home he had to resign, but rather than leave the service he re-enlisted as sergeant. His former comrades of the New York camp of the First Division have asked Secretary of War Weeks to reinstate him as a captain to prevent “injustice to American valor.” Bad Colds stormy weather, exposure, '* sniffles, and the heavy cold is an.
