LAWYERS WILL •STUDY UP FOR MURDER TRIAL Prosecutors of Leopold-Loeb to Take Course in Psychiatry, By United Press CHICAGO Julv 12.—With Dr. 'William O. Krohn, State’s alienist, as ir.stvuetor. four members of the State’s attorneys staff will take a "Short Course" in ‘‘Psychiatry, psychology and medicine, to prepare for the Leopold-Loeb murdet trial, Robert E. Crowe, State’s attorney announced today. The four assistant State's attorneys who will be in charge of the prosecution of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, confessed slayers of Robert Franks, will attend school two hours each day for ten days. The four assistants are Joseph B. Savage. Milton B. Smith. John Sharbaro, and Pert Cronson. Alienists to Testify The defense, headed by Clarence farrow, is building a plea of infinity through which they hope to *save the youthful prisoners. More than a dozen distinguished alienists have examined the youths for the defense. Fearing the State’s lawyers will be "stumped” by the technical phraseology of the ’ defense, Crowe decided upon the “school for alienists." Will Fight Plea Because the defense bases its hope of saving the boys on a plea of insanity, the Statejs case will con- ] sist largely of attempts to show the j youthful slayers are sane. Judge John R. Caverlv has set July 21 as the day on which he will hear preliminary motions. Darrow at that time is expected to demand a sanity hearing instead of a criminal trial for the boys and if this fails, will ask postponement of the trial —now set for Aug. 4.

Church Survey The annual report of the Congregational churches In the United States is just off the press. A summary made by the Rev. Charles E. Burton, the secretary, shows a notable tendency toward "fewer churches but better.” The denomination reports a loss of 110 churches, but an Increase of 3,322 members. The average membership per church, taking the counHy over, increased from 147 per to over 150 members per church. This is accounted for by three reasons: 1. The concentration of population in cities from the country, thus making the continuance of rural churches impossible. 2. The wide use of the automobile allows many country dwellers to go to the town church. 3. The growing spirit cf church union or federation which brings about the union of two or more small churches of various denominations into one strong church. All this movement is for the good and Congregationalists are most willing to enter into any plan which ■will bring about better churches. During the year just closed, thirtythree new churches were organized, and 143 were closed or merged into churches of other denominations. Property values have increased by $8,412,461, bringing it up to $132,388,237. Invested funds of the churches amount to $15,343,948, being an Increase of $824,556 in the year. The annual budgets of the churches reporting amount to $18,261,691. which is $1,479,936 morp than for the preceding year. This does not include the benevolences of the churches, which total $5,366,181, or $153,965 more than the preceding year. Salaries Better The pastors’ salaries are evidently b r °wing better. Not including parsonages provided for a considerable proportion of the ministers and exclusive of ‘arious perquisites, the average salary is shown to be $1,854, as compared with $1,778 one year earlier. The value of free house rent and other perquisites would probably bring this average up to approximately $2,200 a year. The benevolences of the church show an increase for the regular causes of approximately 130 per cent over the amount of money raised in 1918 at the close of the great war. Sixty-three thousand six hundred and eighty new members were added to the rolls, 37.305 of these being on confession of their faith and the rest by letter from other churches of all denominations. The Sunday school enrollment is shown to be 780,375, a gain of 622 in the year. The membership of young people’s organizations totals 119,809, an increase of 3,407.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CRITIC FINDS A SHOCKING SHOW Hard-Boiled .Broadway Is Stunned by 'Scandals,’ BY THE NEA PLAY JURY NEW YORK, July 12. —“The Scandals of 1924,” staged and produced by George White, will suceed in New York mainly because the audience that attends a high-priced musical revue here is vulgar in every sense of the word. It is composed largely of night-flyers, the kind who relish a dirty joke, people who have more money than brains and who think it is smart to sacrifice their finer natures and delicacy to be in the thick of the so-called white lights. This juror has attended many shows of all kinds, but never has he heard an ajleged jojte as smutty, as dirty, as filthy, as hopelessly indecent as one he heard in the Scandals’ third night performance. It is impossible to repeat it here because of postal regulations. This remarkable bit of wit provoked a gale of laughter, despite the fact that the “joke” was as old as the hills. It was one of those kind that some men tell each other when women aren't present. But that isn't all. The show opens with a song by the Williams Sisters called “Just Missed the Opening Chorus.” It is a clever device to fool some of the late comers, but in reality it is intended only to occupy such time as required to seat all.

First Shock Then the real opening chorus comes on and the audience is in for its first shock. New York critics are used to seeing thinly-clad choruses in revues, but the first chorus in the Scandals outshocked any previous efforts. The girls wore white costumes with the skirts slit from the hips. It is a bald attempt to appeal to the physical. Decent women in the audience hid their faces until they could get used to the spectacle. One couple left the theater, though the curtain had been up but a few minutes and the seats cost $4.40 each, excluding speculator’s rake-off. The Scandals would do well, if it takes the road, to revise the show somewhat, or stay away from such cities where the morals of the community are on a higher level than those in New York. If the show as it opened here were played in some communities, it would he closed speedily and run out of town. As It Is, this juror predicts the New York police, if they ever get wise, will force the management to tone down some of the lines and put more clothes on the girls. Some Fun Here The sad thing about the Scandals is the undeniable fact that the cast must contain some girls whose natures revolt against the orders of George White. White knows his New York audience. And apparently he has no scruples against appealing to their licentious appetites. But what would the mothoni and fathers of some of the girls s , if they were to see their daughter in such a disgusting display? The show isn’t all vulgar. It has some really funny and clean skits. It has a world of beautiful girls, the music tuneful and the dancing, especially by the De Marcos. Is excellent. One girl particularly seems out of place. She is Winnie Lightner, a winsome, clean-cut, wholesome young woman who knows how to put a song over. But all of this can’t cover up nor blot out its disgusting, vulgar and licentious features.

ANNOUNCE LAWN SOCIAL St. Mary's Catholic Church Arranges Three-Day Program. Organizations of St. Mary’s Catholic Church will give a three-day lawn social Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday on the church grounds. New Jersey and Vermont Sts. Clothing, faneywork, groceries and refreshments were to be sold. Classical, patriotic and popular music will be on each evening’s program.

For the second time within a week, police believe an incendiary was at work near Senate Ave. and North St., early today. When an auto owned by the Studebaker Used Car Company, 209 W. North St., burned, Sam McCann, colored, night watchman, told Police Sergeant Johnson and firemen saw no one, but was attracted by the sudden flare from the auto. Loss was not determined. Burning of papers on a window sill caused all the downtown departments to respond to an alarm at Ohio and Delaware Sts., in the rear of the Denison 'Hotel. Women who leave England for Australia as domestic servants must lo twelve months work before they are allowed to marry.

‘ White Indian 9 Flapper From Panama Puzzles New Yorkers

MARGARET. ALO AND CHEPU, THE -WHITE INDIAN” CHILDREN AND, AT REAR, RICHARD MAR SH, EXPLORER, WITH “REGULAR” INDIAN.

By Times Speeinl t"1 ew YORK, 12.—It's a \ far cry from the hot jungles —of Central Panama to the comforts and conveniences of a big New York City hotel, but Marguerite Berry, 14-year-old "white Indian" girl, has mane the journey and is learning fast. Marguerite Berry—they call her that because nobody here can pronounce her Indian name—may he a member of a lost race, but she has all the Instincts of a flapper just the same. Already Marguerite is sporting a vanity ease and a green parasol. Is all dolled up In a white organdie dress and has bobbed her hair. She's been in New York only a week and—well, she's probably forgotten all about the jungles of Panama by now. For Marguerite, when in doubt or excited, merely opens her vanity case and powders her nose. But there's one thing she can’t do. She can’t mascara her eyebrow's and lashes. For, you see. both are pure white, and who would ever think of putting mascara on white eyebrows? Now. if they only had some white mascara— Richard O. Marsh, an explorer who brought Marguerite and her brothers to this country—Alo, 16. and Chepu. 10—plans to educate them here and Americanize them. Later they may return to their native jungles to teach their kinfolk civilized ways. The three children have white skins, yellow hair, hazel eyes and white eyelashes, all of which leads Marsh to claim that he has discovered a distinct Nordic type of Indian. Strangely enough—and apparently in living contra.fiction to this claim —is the fact that their parents, who were brought here with them, have copper colored skins, straight black hair and other Indian characteristics. Passengers who arrived on the same steamer from Panama claim that the little Indians are merely alblnca, or freaks, and do not represent a different racial strain. Cynical travelers say the jungles are full of them. But the true albino, Marsh argues, has pink eyes, blue gums and utterly colorless white hair and skin. Furthermore, he insists, these little Indians have pigment in their hair, which is not pure white, and pigment in their skins. If they constitute a type of albino, he says, it is a type without known precedent. This matter he is leaving to various scientists who are examining the children at their hotel here in an effort to solve the riddle. MOT.ON PICTURES
