Upon the school and not the home lies the blame for the criminal, according to Clarence Darrow, Chicago attorney noted for his connection in the Loeb-Leopold case and the evolution trial at Dayton, Tenn. Darrow was here Wednesday to plead mercy for Daniel Levy, Philadelphia, and Fred C. Mintie, Chicago, charged in Federal Court with using the mails to defraud. 4 Judge Robert C. Ealtzell overruled the plea and jntenc-ed the men to a year ar.d a day in Leavenworth prison and -ir.ed them SSOO and costs. “The time to handle a criminal is while he is a child,” Darrow said “There is no use sending them all promiscuously to school to take the •dime courses, because some of them won’t be benefited. Children should be taught something they are capable of doing, something useful.

While John McCloskey, county commissioner president, said: “I’m in favor of buying the Memorial Plaza churches," and John Kitley insisted, “I’m not.” Charles O. Sutton, who retains the deciding vote, remained in seclusion today without disclosing his attitude. However, it is rumored that Sutton will line up with McCloskey, who has already signed an order authorizing a $1,200,000 bond issue for purchase of the First Baptist and Second Presbyterian Churches. If the commissioners fail to act before Jan. 1, the.churches are permitted to remain on their present sites for twenty-five years. At a meeting Wednesday between representatives of the War Memorial commission and commissioners it was disclosed each church would receive $600,000. SHIPPERS FORECAST West and North, 15 to 20; South and East, 20 to 25.
STUDENT‘ADAM AND EVE’ ORGY IS DESCRIBED High School Pupils’ Parties Exposed at Boy’s Manslaughter Trial. Bu Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 17. Wild Bacchanalian revels in a rooming house, where drunken high school boys and girls frolicked gaily in the nude, were described to a jury which includes nine fathers, at the trial of Lynn Bouchard, 17, on charges of manslaughter here Wednesday. The dUclosures were made by Ross Jonhs, assistant prosecutor, and the first official to interview Bouchard after he had driven a ( motor car into a truck, killing three of his companions. The details were so sordid that the court ordered a statement of the facts be read in low tones to the jury. As the description of the "Adam and Eve” parties was being read, scores of flappers in the courtroom leaned forward in their chairs and pouted at their inability to hear the details of the orgies which Bouchard claims were attended by daughters and sons of the city's best families. “Doctored Wine” The parties, Jones testified, -were held in the afternoons. Limousines would drive up in front of the north end dives with cargoes of reckless youth, many with school books under their arms and already swaying dizzily from the.effects of “doctored wine” and synthetic gin. In his confession to Jones, Bouchard said that often as many as three couples would rent a room, order liquor sent up and all would disrobe. The first to appear nude, Bouchard said, received a prize—two drinks. The slowest to undress had to wait until the drinks had been passed around twice as a penalty for any modesty he or she might have possessed. “Pint of Alcohol’ Bouchard glared angrily at Jones ‘as the latter testified. He smiled as

If you don’t believe it, smell my breath.” 1 Angered because a cabaret owner had refused to allow him to dance the Charleston and irked by the fact that he was unable to find a woman companion, Bouchard told Jones he started the joy-ride that brought death to all but himself and Miss McLaughlin. Bouchard’s case was expected to go to the jury late today because of his age he can not be sentenced to more than four years in the State Reformatory.

INDIANA LEGION LEADER PLEADS FOR TOLERANCE National Commander, at Reception, Opposes Reduction of Army. Mentioning a secret order as a disturbing factor in American Legion affairs in the past, State CommanderElect Clarence E. Jackson pleaded for tolerance at a reception Wednesday night at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. * "Buddies, let us worship God as we have been taught, but let us serve our country together,” Jackson urged. National Commander John R. MeQuigg asserted forces are working upon Congress to reduce further the Army, which he said has only 118,000 strength. He said no Legionnaire wants to go to war, but the organization demands an adequate Army and opposes efforts of pacifists to bar school military training. Increase of the Indiana department to 25,000 is needed to combat a “Red” movement in this State, Jackson said. "Why, City Judge Delbert O. Wilmet recently showed me a copy of bolshevist propaganda he had taken from a prisoner, in which working classes were urged to rise and take possession of the machinery of production and the earth,” he said. Jackson said he had no desire to “pussyfoot” in explaining weakness of the Indiana Legion, which he said was classified as a weak State with Texas and Missouri. Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, who presided, predicted a great revival of the Legion in Indianapolis and the State. Bowman Elder, national executive committeeman, explained arrangements for the 1927 convention in Paris. The meeting was under auspices of Indianapolis Post 4. INSURANCE MAN TO TALK Dr. Charles J. Rockwell, head of University of Pittsburgh insurance salesmanship school, will address Indianapolis Association of Life Underwriters Friday noon at the Claypool.
