QUESTION OF CAR FARE BOOST SENT BACKTO MAYOR Council Refuses to Make Recommendations on Proposed Increase, Attitude of the city administration toward increased car fare reverted to Mayor Shank and the legal department today, following adoption of a resolution Monday night in which council refused to take action or make any recommendation. The resolution passed with three dissenting votes. Counciimen Ben H. Thompson and John E. King. Republicans and Heydon W. Buchanan, Democrat, voting “no." They pointed out lack of jurisdiction. The resolution provided that the mayor and the legal department work out a plan with the Indianapolis Street Railway Company and the public service commission “Although the council believes that the city needs and mu3t have better car service, new cars, extension of lines,” the resolution, “and that public interest demands that the street railway company be asked to supply these needs, the Cornell' has no recommendation and believes that xhe matter should be referred to the city legal department and the mayor to take up the public service commission. which has jurisdiction." The resolution pointed out that the report of Benjamin Perk, city utility expert, showed earnings of the company inadequate to purchase new cars, n ake repairs and extend lines. Safety Measure Passed Action was formulated at a Republican caucus late Monday. An ordinance prohibiting transportation of motion picture films or ex plosives on street care or any other kind of vehicle in the city limits unless in proper metal containers, passed unanimously. Bitter opposition to an ordinance requiring elevator shafts in all buildings four stories or more in height to , be incased, was registered. Letters from the Grand Lodge Hall Association and the W. T. Holliday Company pointed out that the measure would in\-olve the expenditure of million of dollars and would boost rents 20 per cent. The letters were referred to the council safety committee, which has the ordinance. Another measure, requiring smoke tower Are escapes on all new buildings three stories or more in height, also went to the safety committee. Dreams of abolishing city-owned automobiles were jolted when Coyncllman John E. King submitted a report on bids of taxi com panes for auto service for the building department. The Don Herr Cab Company asked $81,500 a year for furnishing seven inclosed five-passenger cars six hours a day for 300 days. The Indiana Cab Company submitted a bid of $lO a day for each Ford furnished, and sls a day for taxicabs. A measure to appropriate $2,300 to buy four new cars for building inspectors then was Introduced. No Action on Police No action was taken on Police Chief RikhofTs request for 100 additional policemen. Councilman King said ho had placed Leonard V. Harrison, budget expert for the Chamber of Commerce, in charge of a survey to be conducted of other cities. President Walter W. Wise also is Investigating conditions In other cities. The council received an offer to buy the Castle Hall, just west of city hall, < across a ten-foot alley, for $310,000. The board of works has had the same offer under consideration, but the price is regarded as too high. It has been suggested the building would relieve crowded conditions at city hall. Other ordinances passed: Authorizing sale of discarded motor equipment from the police, fire, electrical and building departments. Nine ayes. Providing permits and fees for testing building material in the laboratories of the city hall. Six ayes, S noes. Otler ordinan -es introduced: Authorizing payment of $9,412.72 for a judgment against the city recently affirmed by the Supreme Court. Ratifying a contract of the AcmeEvans Company to lay a railroad switch across Blackford St. near Market St. Prohibiting driving or operating any vehicle on or across any improved sidewalk. Public hearings were held on changing territory at Station and Twenty-Fifth Sts. from residential to business and for a similar change at Noble and Washington Sts.

SHANK’S CAMPAIGN DRAWSCRITIGiSM Councilman Accuses Mayor of Neglecting Duties, Fires of differences between Mayor Shank and city council smouldered •oday, following: charges that the mayor’s gubernatorial campaign kept aim constantly away from official duties, by Councilman Theodore J. Bernd, Republican, Monday night. “I think I’ll introduce an ordinance appointing someone to wipe the cob web 6 out of the mayor’s office," said Bernd. “If he were on the job, he would have all he could take care of in Indianapolis.” Bernd’s remarks were followed immediately by a motion to adjourn by Councilman Lloyd D. Claycombe. Republican. Bernd indicated, however, that he would have something more to say at the next council meeting. “It's high time that we do something,” said Bernd. “They talk of adding 100 more policemen to the force, yet I am told two policemen were found asleep on duty in a certain railroad yards. “I saw two city employes the other day go into a theater at 2:30 in the afternoon. It would be a good time to start Investigating some of these practices.”

How to Break Into the Movies

You May Practice for Pictures as Easily at Home as in Hollywood,

By JACK JUNG MEYER NEA Service Writer ryyiOLLYWOQD, March 18.— jt - jj “The boy or girl determined L— . upon a movie career may practice f<4r pictures just as effectually at home as in Hollywood. This declaration by Hal Roach prominent producer, may exasperate some youngsters who have all but persuaded reluctant parents to finance a trip to the mecca of romance. On the other hand, it may encourage those who seek sound advice in preparing for the precarious venture. “A girl's mirror is her best tutor for screen acting.” says Roach. “And making faces at herself is the best possible schooling. “Let the girl whef is sure her ambition is rooted In something deeper than a whim or excited vanity put. in hours before the looking glass, getting acquainted with her features and their capacity for expressing every possible shade of emotion. “The face that has screen destiny must lean-' to see itself reflecting ugly passions as well as tranquil beauty. Vanity which prevents this is a bad handicap. Start by Imitating “Good practice is carefully to observe some screen performance to which the movie novice feels by type and temperament adapted, then, standing with back to a fulllength mirror and assuming the facial expression and bodily attitude in some vividly recalled scene, suddenly to the face the glass and see how well the pos. has been simulated. It should be done again and again. "Comparatively few peopje are naturally endowed to animate emotions by the facial muscles. But to the actor this is a primary essential. Training will relieve the facial stiffness. "I have seen Harold Lloyd emote before the looking glass by the hour. Bebe Daniels does it. Most actors and actresses do. The mirror doesn’t flatter. Let the novice go to it for instruction and honest verdict.” Roach is recognized in Hollywood as a shrewd judge of raw movie talent. He selected and started Bebe Daniels. Mildred Davis (Mrs. Lloyd). Jobyna Ralston, Harold Lloyd’s present leading lady, and a dozen other successful ones on their way. His latest Is Blanche Mehaffey, picked from Ziegfeld’s Follies., His advice has the value of the expert s. Submit Photos “Many girls after they get to Hollywood don’t know how to present themselves,” he says. "I am convinced many a potential star has been lost to the screen for this reason. "Few applicants get a hearing or a viewing at the studio unless they have good photographs of them selves, preferably a choice showing different angles and a suggestion of roles that may convincingly be assumed. For it is photos rather than personal appearance that determine screenabiiity. And. of course, movie test shots always finally confirm eligibility. Beauties Wanted "Motion picture producers, if convinced by photos a girl might be a find, would take the trouble to have a movie test made of her at home. Os course there are other requirements, but this precedes all others. “And it is surprising to the lay%nan how many girls considered rather plain show up like a million dollars on the screen. "Many potential film stars are living in obscurity. A sheaf of photos, assiduous practice before the home mirror, and some thought as to how best to present themselves when they come to Hollywood, might quickly make them celebrities. ""We are as eager to find such girls as they are to be found, for while the Hollywoods are full of extras and mediocrities, there is always a scarcity of high-class players and genuine beauties.”

Many are unaware that the law fixes a penalty of fine and imprisonment not to exceed six months for refusal to answer questions under oath, or to take an oath, he said. ’’lf any one refuses or fails to make cut his list, the deputy can estimate values himself, and the auditor adds a,jso per cent penalty,” Porter said.

THEORY TWO DIED FRIDAY CONFLICTS WITH NEW FACE Woman Tells of Seeing Robbins Between 7 and 8 a. m, Saturday, Theory of Coroner Paul F. Robinson that Mrs. Lillian Faulconer, 44, of 709 N. Tremont Ave.. and Martin Robbins, 73, of 750 N. Tremont Ave., died last Friday night was contradicted by new evidence today. The two were found dead of bullet wounds at the Faulconer home Monday morning. Mrs. Margaret KUion, Kng Ave., told a Times reported she saw Robbins pass her home going in the direction of the Faulconer home, two blocks away, between 7 and 8 a. m. Saturday. IJght Burning in Boom Police and the coroner have been investigating on the theory that Robbins shot Mrs. Faulconer and then committed sujclde with a ,25-callbre revolver Friday night. A light was burning In the room where the bodies were found. Miss Mathilda Emrich, clerk in the Emrich hardware store. 2526 W. Michigan St., said that Robbins tried to buy a revolver of her Friday morning. She said she thought he was intoxicated so she consulted the manager. who refused to permit the sale. They told Robbins to come back Saturday morning, but he insisted he wanted the gun “right away," she said. Pay Drawn In Advance Howard Baldwin, a foreman at the Michigan St. plant of the Link Belt Company, where Robbins worked, said he drew S2O in advance pay Friday morning, saying he was going to Scottsburg, Ind., to collect $7,700 due him from an estate. Anew theory that Robbins might have shot Mrs. Faulconer Fridaynight and then returned some time Saturday and shot himself, was not given much credence because when the bodies were found, Mrs. Faulconer’s feet lay across Robbins’ ankles.

FUTURE POSITION OF U. S. CODRT \l STATE UNCERTAIN / Speculation Rife About Possibility of Judge Anderson's Promotion. Republican lawyers from all parte of Indiana were mentioned today as nossible successors to Judge Albert B. Anderson as United States district Judge, should he be named by President Coolidge as judge of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, to succeed Judge Francis E. Baker, who died Saturday. According to friends, Judge Anderson would accept. He was in Goshen attending the funeral of Judge Baker today and could not be reached. It generally is taken for granted that Judge Anderson cam have the appointment if he will accept it. Not only is he regarded as the strongest judge in the circuit, comprising 1111* nois, Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan, but he probably is the outstanding United States district judge in the United States. Hickey Bill Affected Bitter opponents of Judge Andec'* son who have been fighting for th 9 Hickey bill, which would another Federal Court in Indiana Ida place Gary, Hammond, South Beni, Ft. Wayne. Terre Haute and surrounding territory outside Judge Anderson’s jurisdiction, are said to be urging his promotion.

Among lawyers suggested for Judge Anderson’s place should he become circuit judge, are Judge Mahlon E. Bash, of the Marion Probate Court; former Judge Solon J. Carter, of In- • dianapolis; Judge Louis B. Ewbanfe, of the Indiana Supreme Court; Judge William M. Sparks of the Rush Circuit Court; Judge Frank Charles of the Grant Circuit Court; Raymond Springer of Connersville, Homer Elliott, U. S. district attorney; George H. Hester of New Albany, and George M. Barnard of Newcastle, formerly a member of the public service commission, and a member of the law firm of Ralston, Gates, Lairy and Van Nuys. North Seeks Recognition It is considered certain that a nun> her of lawyers from the northern part of the State will receive backing. It is predicted that, should a northern Indiana lawyer become Federal Judge, the Hickey bill would be dropped. Judge Bash was indorsed for the position by members of the Irvington Republican Club Monday night and telegrams sent to Senators Samuel M. Ralston and James E. Watson and Congressman Merrill Moores. Judge Anderson will leave for ington Wednesday to testify the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is considering the Hickey bill. It is considered probable that President Coolidge will take up the matte* of Judge Baker’s successor about the same time. The Cadle Choir.
