FAIL TO APPEAR ON TRIAL !)ATE Cases of Two ‘Continued Indefinately j in City Court. Another of those cases mysteriously arranged in city court was discovered today when Frank Hilgetneir, 54, 519 West Raymond street, charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor and assault and battery, and John Short, 08, 4151 Graeeland avenue, charged with drunkenness, failed to apear for trial. They were arrested at 5:15 o'clock on the morning of Oct 13, at Meridian and Ohio streets, follow ing an accident in which Hilgemeir's automobile collided with a street car. He engaged in an altercation with the motor man. In city cjurt the cases, against the two men were continued until Nov. 3. On that date they were again continued until Dec. 10. However, it was discovered when the defendants failed to appear in city court today that the "date of judgment was Dec. 5," and that charges against both Short and Hilgeineir were continued indefinitely. Inquiries made of Judge Walter Pritchard brought the answer that as he remembered it no prosecuting witnesses appeared against either Hilgeineir or Short, and therefore the cases were continued indefinitely. The judge did not explain how a prosecuting witness could appear in court five days previous to the date set for the trial unless special forthwith subpeoenas were issued. The police officers who made the arrest were Motor Cops Landers and Wll- - It is customary for only one officer of a team to appear in court on cases and Wilkerson was. in court today.

MOTOR COMPANY RECEIVER ASKED Premier Corporation Case to Have Court Hearing Dec. 19. A petition asking that a receiver be appointed for the Premier Motor Corporation of Indianapolis today was filed i before Judge W. W. Thornton of SuS perior Court, room 1, by Ilirnm A. Whitman of Chicago, who alleges that the company is indebted to him in the sum of $4,000 In money loaned. Judge Thornton will hear argument on the appointment of a receiver on Monday morning, Dec. 19. The petitioner claims that the motor corporation is insolvent or in danger of being insolvent and that it has a total indebtedness of $1,850,000. Quincy A. Myers, one of the attorneys representing the Premier Corporation, stated that at present 120 men are employed by the Premier Corporation here, lie said that the company has been In process of reorganization for some time and that some of the creditors became a little impatient. Mr. Myers declared that the corporation has assets of $2,000,000 over its liabilities. U. S. Well Equipped to Build Airships WASHINGTON, Dee. 10—Inventions and assets which give the United States a tremendous advantage in the construction of lighter than air craft, such as the ZR-1, now building, are being rapidly developed by Government experts, it became known today. The United States already has invaluable assets in the event such a building program is ever required. First, there is the helium plant, in the sotuhwestern part of the country, which can eventually develop enough of this rrw substitute for hydrogen to float all the ships we can build for the air. Helium is an exclusive United States product and is a considerable advance over hydrogen as a vapor for inflation of the airship, being bosh safer and lighter. In addition to helium, American inventors have Just reported remarkable progress in the development of a substitute for so-called “gold-beaters’ skin," which is used for making tlio gas ceils of airships. Gold-beaters' skin is made from certain parts of the row. and in the case of the wrecked ZR 2 more than 200.000 cows furnished the material for the gas cells. A substitute for this material would save the cows worry, besides saving a lot of money and labor, being much cheaper and in some cases even superior to the original articles. Progress is also being made on a cheaper "dope” which is used on the exterior of airplanes and also in the development of waterproof glue. All these Inventions and resources are calculated to put the United States far in the lead should It ever become necessary.

English Expert Believes Edison’s Gold Prediction Says Precious Metal Has Already Been Artificially Made From Radium.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—Commander William A. Ballantine, one of the greatest metallurgists in England, now in New York, believes Thomas A. Edison's prediction that gold will yet be artificially made at a fraction of present price is entirely possible. "Gold already has been made artificially,” said the commander. Sir WillMm Ramsey, a number of years ago, touverted radium into' gold. He made only a few grams of the yellow metal, but what he made was identical in every respect with gold as we know it in nature. But the gold Sir AVilliam made cost about twenty times as much as the gold that comes from the ground. “The question, therefore, is not whether gold can be made from base metals, but whether it can be made for less than the

SHANK FAVORS BUYING ESTATE FOR SOLDIERS (Continued From Page One.) He thinks there Is nothing I could do to please the soldiers not only of Marion County, but the whole State of Indiana more. “I’m going to talk this thing oveV with several leaders and get their ideas on exactly what is technically necessary to carry out the project. Then I'm going to have the committee of prominent women representing every phase of worn en’s activities out to my house. I'm going td put the thing up to them mid ask them to put it over for me with the men. I’ll have committees of these women call on tho Rotary, Kiwanis, Optimists and other noon luncheon clubs, tlie Chamber of Commerce, the Merchants' Asodation, the Central Labor Union, th Associated Employers—l’ll have them call on every organization in town, and I’l 1 bet you it won’t be very long until wf have everybody in town for it. I don't see how anybody could be opposed to It.’’ NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT PLAZA. He was asked, what, if anything, he thought his plan would do to the Memorial Plaza project. "I don't know anything about tho riaza. I'm not Interested in the Plaza. That’s all settled. We're going to have that.” he said. “However, I'd like to see this go through before the plaza. I rather think it will. Yes, I’m pretty sure tt will because I think it will be easier to put this across than the plaza.” ANNOUNCES LIST OF WOMEN. Among women whom Mr. Shank said he would ask to come to the preliminary meeting are; Mrs. Robert E Kennlngton. Mrs. Joseph B. Healing, Mrs. Julia A. Henderson. Mrs. E. .T. Robison, Mrs. Marlin. L. ReitTel. Mrs. Alice M. French, Mrs. O H. .Tose, Mrs. E. A. Ivuhr.s, Mrs. Agnes Fleming, Mrs. Richard Lieber, Mrs. Arthur R. Robinson, Mrs. Wolf Sussman, Mrs. M. B. Spellman, Mrs. Grace Jackson Bodenmiller, Mrs. Isaac Born. Mrs. JUlia Belle Tutewiler, Miss Alina Sicker, Miss Ethel Hutchison and Mrs. W. W. Reedy. Mrs. Bodenmiller was Democratic women’s city chairman during the municipal campaign and opposed Mr. Shank, as did others in the list. Commenting upon this, Mr. Shank said: “That makes no difference. We're forgetting that. Wf want everybody to forget differences .mil work together on this thing.” Diamonds Likely to Maintain Price CHICAGO, Dee. 10.—Second-hand diamonds bought up by merchants in Europe from bankrupt princely families and “distress diamonds,” bought duritfg prosperity and now thrown on the market in America and other countries, will have no appreciable effect in reducing the price of diamonds. Tt?se gems have come into the market in considerable quantities. I-arge quantities of diamonds came out of Russia. The Jewels of the crown collection, it is believed, have been cut up to hide their identity and sold throughout the world by the Bolshevist. During the war period of bonanza wages the world went diamond crazy. As soon as they got a little more money than enough to live on people rushed tt* Jewelry shops io buy diamonds. For the first time in history, diamonds became a popular Jewel among the working classes. It the present industrial depression many of those diamonds are being sold. While the aggregate value of these resold diamonds of impoverished nobles and no longer affluent laboring men is large, they are a mere drop in the bucket in the world’s diamond market. If one buys from private individuals one may chance to pick up a bargain. But trade prices of diamonds will not be affected by these gems. The syndicate which markets the entire rough output of the South African mines and controls diamond prices has announced that the price of diamonds will not come down. This is the ultimatum a monopoly. It means exactly what it says. There can bo no appeal from it. Traders must buy at the syndicate’s price and sell at a corresponding price or go out of business.

Hawaiian Teachers to Dress Modestly HONOLULU, T. H„ Dec. 10.—“Hawati's teachers, as members of a dignified and honorahie profession and as representative American citizens, must wear modest and sensible clothing, for grace, beauty, poise and attractiveness are not expressed in extreme and sensational apparel. This exhortation, forming a part of the rules and regulations of tho territorial department of public instruction, has been sent by Superintendent Vaughan MacCaughey to each of the 1,500 teachers now employed by the department and Is stressed as one of the essential fundamentals to satisfactory fulfillment of a teacher's duties. It may be added thnt Hawaii’s teachers are almost all women. PETITIONS FOR RECEIVER. The appointment of a receiver was asked today for the Indianapolis Body Corporation by Peter M. Kling in Superior Court, Room 8. Mr. Kling alleges that the defendant corporation is indebted to him in the sum of $2,000. SCENTED EVIDENCE. ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 10.—Policeman Henry McGee, with another officer, was raiding a negro llouor party recently when McGee, standing under a window, was deluged with the contents of a twogallon jar of corn whisky. With his clothing saturated with “the evidence” the officer was upheld by the recorder, who scattered fines promiscuously among the negroes captured.

cost of the gold that comes out of the ground. I agree with Mr. Edison that the discovery might be made any day. I would add, however, that it may never be made. “Nothing, however, is more certain than that enormous) discoveries in metallurgy are just ahead of us. The requirements of modern industrial life leave no doubt of this. Throughout all the ages, metal lurgy has lagged, although it is one of the oldest of the sciences. Metallurgy has uot kept pace with th development of other sciences because known forms of metals were sufficient for our needs. “New forms of rnetais are now in demand, and in searching for them, no one can tell what moment someone may stumble upon the way to make synthetic gold and make it cheaply.”—Copyright, 1921, by International News Service.
