ATTORNEY FINED ON BOOZE CHARGE Penalties for ‘Taking Swig’ at Police Headquarters s9l. Taking a drink of whisky in the captain’s office at police headquarters cost Henry Krug, local attorney with offices at 396 Hume-Mansur building, exactly 191. Krug attracted much attention about a week ago, when he walked Into the office of Capt. Edward Schubert, pulled a bottle of whisky from his rocket and “took a swig.’’ At the time he was arrested on the charge of being intoxicated. Two days ago a “blind tiger” charge was filed at the order of William P. Evans, prosecutor. Krug was defended in city court yesterday by Walter Pritchard, former city judge. Prosecutor J. Burdette Little vigorously prosecuted the case. He said that the fact that Krug was a member of the bar should make no difference in the finding. Delbert O. Wilmeth, present city Judge, found Krug guilty of intoxication and unlawful possession of liquor. He received a fine of $1 and costs for the first offense and SSO and costs on the second charge. The findings will be appealed, Krug said. In city court Krug said he bought the liquor to cure a cold. AUTO TRADE BODY NAMES OFFICERS Plans Made for Spring Auto Show, March 6 lo 11. Homer C.

Orman, manager of the show, will be given free rein in the matter of outdoing all of his previous efforts. President Lathrop said that despite the fact that no Invitations had been sent out many Inquiries for space at the show were being received. ‘MULE’ ODOR IN KETTLE ENOUGH Lieutenant Johnson Thinks His Nose Knows. Lieut. Louis Johnson thinks he has "strong” evidence against William Collier, 617 East Wabash street The evidence consists of a strong odor of “white mule” in a kettle and in a sink at the Collier home. According to Lieutenant Johnson, when he and a squad of police visited the Collier domicile, the only thing left was the odor. He arrested Collier on a blind tiger charge anyway. What the police describe as a ‘‘young brewery” was found In the home of Charles Hahn, 752 West New York street. They took to headquarters a ten-gallon boiler, twenty gallons of beer in the process of manufacture, 182 quart bottles of beer, fifty-eight pint bottle* of beer a half gallon Jug of beer, and a bottle capper. Hahn was also taken to headquarter* on a charge of operating a blind tiger.
Dan Cupid Plays Havoc in Woman’s Party Ranks Many Active Leaders in the‘Cause' Drift Into Realms of Romance and Wed,
Special to Indiana Daily Time* and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By CONSTANCE DREXEI. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Cupid seems to be playing havoc in the ranks of the National Woman’s party. Upon the heels of Elsie Hill’s sudden marriage of Prof. Albert Levitt of the University of North Dakota, following closely upon Doris Stevens to Dudley Field Malone, .comes news from Berlin of Betty Gram’s to Raymond Swing, prominent Amerlcatn and head of a New York newspaper bureau in Germany. What is more all these marriages have been most romantic, though Miss Hill's, perhaps, the least of the three, as all events pertaining thereto have taken place in this country without the allurements of travel In foreign countries. BETTY GRAM MARRIES JOURNALIST. Betty Gram Is now settled In a charming villa outside of Berlin, where she and her husband find time for music which is their particular hobby In fact, It was for the study of piano and voice that Betty went to the German capital in the early autumn of 1920, immediately following the ratification of the suffrage amendment. When asked what he was going to do after votes for women had been acquired, the vivacious, popular little suffragette, who looked more a flapper than one de-

voted to a serious cause and therefore was very successful In her efforts to win State Legislatures to her side, replied: "No more ‘causes’ for me. I am going to Europe as soon as I can to take up my interrupted studies in music.” It seems that it was while studying music In Chicago in the summer of 1916 that Miss Gram became Interested In the National Woman’s party, then holding a convention In the "windy city.” She was persuaded to give up her home in Portland, Ore., and to devote all her time to the suffrage cause. She became one of the most popular stars of the "militant" group and everybody Is j rejoiced at the news of her apparent j happiness. As for Elsie Hill, who is chairman j of the National Woman’s party, having succeeded Alice Paul, is the daughter of the late Ebenexer Hill, for twenty-one years a Congressman from Connecticut. In 1912 she Joined the woman’s party at its very beginning, when Alice Paul first arrived here. She gave up her teaching work to devote her whole time to the suffrage campaign, organizing the first “suffrage special” in 1910. She la the proud wearer of a “prison pin,” having served in Jail with other suffragists who had picketed the White House. Strangely enough the other two brides

also belong to that group of Jail birds, but that does not seem to have pretented their acquiring what appears to be very nice husbands. It was while teaching at George Washington University Law School here last year that Professor Levitt became a frequent visitor the National Woman’s party headquarters and met Miss Hill. She met him again on her recent tour for the Twentieth amendment and was secretly married the day before Christmas in Chicago. Being very modern and also very practical, Elsie Hill (as she still calls herself) is keeping up her own work and starting for a State campaign in Virginia Legislature, while Professor Levitt Is teaching law In North Dakota. But this summer they plan to spend on a Connecticut farm. DORIS STEVENS WEDS DUDLEY MALONE. The first of these brides, the former Doris Stevens, is now in Paris, where Dudley Field Malone has some law practice. But the latest gossip has it that they will return to this country ere long, and wiseacres are looking for a return to politics of both Mr. aud Mrs. Malone. Now the question Is whether Alice

Postmaster General Will Hays continue* to "unearth buried treasure’’ in the way of long lost letters, for yesterday there was delivered at the B. F. Keith offices In the Palace Theater a battered old blue envelope which was mailed on June 23, 1902, inclosing a vaudeville contract for Haight & Dean to appear at B. F. Keith’s Union Square during the week beginning June 30, 1902, aud signed by S. K. Ilodgdon, who still Is general booking manager for the B. F. Keith theaters.

Only Philadelphia and New York date* are visible In the nearly obliterated rubber atamp Impressions on the envelope. It may have remained stuck In a mall chute, it may have fallen behind a desk In the postofflee at Philadelphia, or here, or It may be that Haight & Dean disappeared between the close of their Philadelphia engagement and their opening date at the Union Square as specified in the contract.
