lOWA’S BIG SHOW Today the voters of the corn fed State of lowa are swarming to the polls in the Republican primary. The contest has been one of the bitterest in years, due to a number of strange quirks and clashing personalities'. Senator Albert B. Cummins, regular Republican, already wears the toga. He wishes to succeed himself at Washington. • smith Wildman Brookhart, a Republican of the conformist or independent, progressive school was a Senator until a few weeks ago when he lost his seat, and is out to defeat Cummins in consequence. The issues involved are far more theatrical than the mere mention of these two names might lead one to tliink. Senator Cummins used to be as independent as his principal opponent is today. But eighteen years in the benign atmosphere of the national capital nave toned him down and rubbed off the irregularities until today his main claim to office that he stands where hitched. Former Senator Brookhart first went to Washington in 1922 when he succeeded William S- Kenyon, retired. He was returned in the 1924—at least so read his credentials and he was duly seated in the Upper House. But Daniel F. Steck, his Democratic opponent after a long fight in lowa and Washington, unseated him last April on the ground that he and not Brookhart, had won the election. In his fight Steck not only had the support of twenty-nine Democrats in the Senate, which was to he expected, but the bulk of the regular Republicans, too. Brookhart claims the Senate in Washington thus nullified expressed will of the voters of lowa. To prove It, he Immediately announced his candidacy to succeed Senator Cummins, whose term is now expiring. Administration organs frankly admit Cummins’ defeat would mean that lowa has gone out of its way to take a slap at the Administration and the Republican organization, both nationally and in the State itself where the Republican State central committee, oddly enough indorsed the Democrat, Steck, to help unseat the insurgent Brookhart. There are certain complications, however, the presence of which may or may not have an effect on the lowa outcome. Howard J. Clark of Des Moines is running on a liberal Republican ticket and Daniel Reardon of Council Bluffs is running.s a wet. The eyes of the country, however, are on the big set-to. And the intense bitterness of this is expected to throw the other candidacies into the shade. For the 76-year-old Senator Cummins is not only making this, probably his last battle, for his own, but for the Administration’s prestige, while the young Erookhart is out for vindication —to right a rankling wrong he believes was done him by his own party. Incidentally, speaking of the dramatic, elsewhere in this paper you'll find a story by Earl Sparling of our Washington bureau. It is a story of a statesman on whom fate has played her favorite trick- It is a story about the venerable Senator Cummins, a story without a sting. Don’t miss- it.

RIGHT AT HOME To those who are neither fanatically dry nor thirstily wet, there is food for thought in the figures furnished by the health board concerning death from alcoholism in Indianapolis. The fanatical dry will accept no argument. The thirstily wet demands his alcohol. Neither will face facts. But there is something rather ominous in the statement that deaths from alcoholism have increased steadily for the past seven years. That means something. We are not quite sure what it means. Perhaps the men and women who fill graves in the cemetery could give the answer, but they are forever silent. It may mean that the drinkers of today are buying poison instead of alcohol. They are, perhaps, trusting to labels instead of their sense of taste and paying with death for their uncontrolled impulsesFrom the dry viewpoint that may be the solution. Give every man or woman who takes a drink of a supposedly criminal nature a snifter of hemlock and then watch them die. In the finish that would certainly settle things, for no drinkers would be left. Fortunately or unfortunately, that does' not settle the question, for not every man who buys booze gets poison. Not all of them die quickly, so that the process of elimination of violators is gone, or at least tediously slowTrue, any man who studies the health reports of this city is foolish to risk his life. For there are some very dangerous concoctions being sold that mean death or insanity or invalidism. The other diagnosis of the situation is that there is more drinking than there was seven years ago and that instead of bringing temperance, the present system has brought intemperance. Five times as many men and women died, according to the doctors, in 1925 of alcohol than died in 1919. That surely suggests that enforcement had been a farce and a failure. To get that liquor, someone sold it. Where were the police in a State which has th,e dryest law in the Nation? Where were the prohibition agents and the Federal officials when men could so easily get this stuff that they bought enough to kill themselves? Incidentally it is very unfortunate that the statistics do not contain definite reports as to how many citizens died from drinking the 330 cases of Squibb whisky, seized by Government and admittedly restored to drinking circles. That was taken from the Federal building. How many did it kill? A TIP FROM ENGLAND Laws recently incorporated in the legal code of England provide that drunken drivers shall be sentenced to four months in prison, fined 50 pounds (pearly $250) or both. A drunken driver has been likened to a maniac amuck in a crowded street with a loaded revolver. In the modern jungle of traffic-crammed highways, there is qo more dangerous animal- The British have been quick to realize it and to punish the offender idjumately.

THE DAY’S BEST JOKE Forrest Bailey, a director of the American Civil Liberties Union, has telegraphed to Secretary of Sta:e Frank B. Kellogg protesting against Britain’s exclusion of Charles Edward Russell, American socialistic writer. The idea of Secretary Kellogg protesting to Britain or any other country for excluding ,an American is the best joke we’ve heard today. After barring Shapurji Saklatvala, British member of Parliament; and gagging the former President of Hungary, Count Karolyi; . and banning Countess Karolyi, the latter’s wife; and holding up Countess Catlicart because of a love escapade in South Africa; and so on, America is hardly in a position to complain should the rest of the world, entire, tell us all and sundry to get to heck out and slay out. * Forrest must have a subtle sense of humor. t)LD SHOES AND HYMEN Rice and old shoes, like rain on the just and unjust, falleth on rich and poor alike when they get married. They seem to be one adjunct of marriage that is never overlooked. Showers of rice and confetti sped Mr. and Mrs. David K. E. Bruce on their honeymoon to Europe the other day. Mrs. Brqce, if you haven’t forgotten, is the only daughter of Andrew Mellon, secretary of the treasury and owner of one of the world’s largest fortunes. One Claudianus once in effect, that death made democrats of us all. But so, it seems, does marriage. Here is the most brilliant match of the season, reduced, for the moment, to the level of yours and ours and George F. Babbitt’s on Main Street. U k INDIA, WE’RE EVEN A certain gentleman from India, Rahman Bey by name, has been able to pay for all his meals in New York for the last couple of weeks by dint of his remarkable powers of absorbing hatpins without a bit of gooseflesh and being buried smilingly alive. Moralists might wring from the popularity of Mr. Bey’s strange show the lesson that the American “peepul” indeed have tastes that are low and curious, that they fall prey to almost any kind of fakir who along. That could be. Certainly Mr. Bey will take back to India many a good, round dollar of ours (if some oil stock salesman doesn't get him before he sails-) But this time the laugh's on India. Even if Rahman does manage to find his way back to Bombay with his money in the bank instead of queer real estate or phony bonds, the laugh’s still on India. The laugh's on India, where the whole world goes tef be fooled by swOrd swallowers, basket puncturers, buried-alivers and other outlandish magicians. For, under a banyan tree in Poona, Bombay, wearing the holy raiment of the Hindu ascetic, sits one James Brandon of Georgetown, U. S- A. (and other points), a king of the occult, worshipped by thousands of devQtees of a stranger magic than all, the healing of the lame and the halt and the blind. How James Brandon gets away with faking in a faking country, we know not, but there he is, the fact itself, an American standing off a nation of marvelous mystics at their own game. But then perhaps the Hindus also are wondering how Rahman Bey manages to get away with it in America. Brandon has marvelous cures for all sorts of bodily ills, from leprosy to bunions. He “had a vision’’ of his powers at Jacksonville, Fla., he has told them, and went to India a year ago. During the vision he was taken up into the mansion in the skies and accepted as Grade-A healer, plenipotentiary to India. Thousands flock to Rahman Bey in New York. Thousands flock to Brandon in Poona. Whatever the ’ t motive of human interest is, we are not worrying about it. For, this time at least, we are getting an even break.

Sometimes a man gets sorry for his wife because her husband is such a big loafer. The crown prince of Sweeden bane visiting the United StatesMany a man gets gray hairs in his head paying for his wife’s curls. Where there’s smoke there’s tire and where there’s so much prohibition talk there's thirst. MORE DEEDS LESS GAB FROM ' POLITICIANS ———— By Mrs. Walter Ferguson Aside from having to listen to high-flown oratory regax-ding the purity of Jeffersonian Democracy, there is nothing so tirespme as tfiese lengthy speeches about t’he ideals of the G. O. P. It takes partisan politics, it seems, for men to rise to sublime heights of eloquence. They will run the gamut of every emotion from bitter denunciation of the enemy to sobs of joy over their own excellence. The oratory which these two political parties have provoked, if properly directed, would save the world from want and weariness and war. If the energy which has been put up into speeches upholding tlie principles of simon-pure democracy had been turned into honest effort to clean up the home precinct, politics might now be a stainless thing; if the work expended upon waving the party bannerhad been used to better purpose, our criminals might be reposing in (fells instead of roaming at large so happily. But men adore their parties; would that they loved their country half so well! Isurty principle is an excellent thing provided the principle is not overlooked: it is all very well to recite past gloi'ies provided present delinquencies are not forgotten. j Politicians tg?-’ a particular delight,'however, in ignoring the future, while they gaze into tlie past, and they like nothing sc H-.uoh as to turn Time backward in his flight. What must the shades of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln feel, if they are unable to listen in on some of their alleged faithful followers? What ghostly laughter must be wafted down the wind. Talk, talk, talk; gab, gab, gab. How glibly they clack —these myrmidons of party, extolling their endless virtues and reciting hymns of bate about their foes. If Republicans and Democrats would only iionor their dead leaders with action instead of talk, there wouldn’t hq ao many ip the coKhtry.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Tracy Evelyn and Harry The lowa Test Princes or Paupers?

By M. E. TRACY Evelyn and Harry had dinner together last Friday night, talking afterward until the gray dawn broke, and Sunday papers were quiok to say they might be intending to get married again, even though Evelyn denies it. • No need for last names for you to know who they are. Publicity, &ttch as few of us would like, has made the tragedy of their lives a matter -of household recollection and gossip throughput the land. They have become better known than most statesmen, educators or inventors and their movements are more closely watched. Harry, you see, shot a man twen-ty-one years ago, but that is not the reason, for many folks have shot men within that period. The reason is that some great lawyers smeller’ a family fortune, while some other great lawyers smelled fame and the case was permitted to chag out through years of four-inch headlines. And what has it amounted to —all the Indicting, prosecuting conviction, escaping and houndling? Let those who have the stomach call it justice. •I- J -IThis is the day lowa Republicans nominate a Senator and the fifth occasion on which the Coolldge Administration has gone to bpt with dissent in the ranks of its owh party this spring. It lost to Smith in Illinois, to Yare in Pennsylvania and to Steiwer in Oregon, but gaihed a very doubtful point with Jim Watson in Indiana. Tlie lowa contest is more significant than any that has occurred because the issue is more clearly defined. Senator Cummins, who Is running for renomination, is a very sound and dependable Administration supporter, while former Senator Brookhart, his principal opponent, is regarded as very unsound and undependable from art Administration viewpoint. If it were not for a third man in the race, Howard W. Clark, Brookhart would probably bo nominated, but with* him drawing labor votes, Cummins has the advantage. Cummins’ triumph, however, would not clear up the situation at all, but would be accepted by everybody as the signa.l for a bigger, bitter contest this fall, with the Democrats having a good chance to elect another Senator through the help of Republican discontent, just as they elected Steck two years ago.

A Senate sub committee has approved the Coolidge order by which local and State police officers can be appointed as Federal prohibition enforcement agents, and, paradox as it may seem, a Democrat, Senator Walsh of Montana, will write the report. We have no parties left. Asa mark of record the present Administration has received quite as consistent support from Democrats as from Republicans. While this support may be justified with regard to routine matters, it cannot be justified with regard to those that make for more centralization and therefore utterly opposed to Democratic principles. -I- I I On Sunday, June 20, Germany will vote on this proposition. The German people through popular initiative an.l referendum decree the following law: “’The entire fortune of the royal princes who have ruled in any one of the German states until the revolution of /191S, as well as the entire fortune of the princely houses, their families and family connections are confiscated without compensation in the interest of the general welfare.” More than $650,000,000 is involved, not to mention the virtual ruin of a score of great houses which, until I now, have offered positions of immense power not only in politics, but in business and industry. Since the question has been construed as one of basic policy, it must be decided not by a majority of those voting but of all registered voters since that is the rule in Germany. It has been estimated that approximately 40,000,000 people are entitled to vote and this means that unless 20,000,000 vote in favor of confiscation it fails. The issue has been presented as though it involved the life of the Republic, or a return of the monarchy, but that is scarcely true. A great many honest Republicans will oppose confiscation without compensation because they fear such a policy, quite regardless of Its bearing on the present form of government, because they doubt the wisdom of permitting any government, either royalist or Republican, to take private property without paying for it. PEONY PRIZES AWARDED Charles G. Morris of Greenwood was first and Harry F. Dietz, Indianapolis, second in the fourth annual peony show conducted' Saturday, by the Bankers’ Trust Company. Morris won a silver - trophy in the advanced section. Joe Hergenrother, 618 Orange St., aaid G. A. Fisher, 4231 Sunset Ave., were winners in the amateur section. Mrs. Harry G. Hill, 52 N. Irvington Ave., won the garden flower medal. SCHOOL ALUMNI ELECT Russell E. Tucker was elected president Saturday at the first annual meeting of the alumni association of McKinley School. School 39.

Resener Turns Orchestra Into Singing Band and Huff ‘Counterpoints’ Organ

By Walter D. Hickman There are fashions in dress and there are fashions in music. The musical fashion makers this week are Edward Resener, conductor of the Circle orchestra, and Lester Huff, organist at the Apollo. Let us visit the- Apollo first and see Lester Huff cause one hand not

to know what the other is doing on the pipe organ. By what is known as counterpoint in musical lingo, Huff plays “Swanee River” with one hand, while he plays “Humor esque” with the other, mixing the two different themes into pleasing melpdy at the same time. While Huff is accomplishing this, slides are

Belie Daniels

put on the screen telling of the method used by Huff in being able to play two tunes at the same time. Then he takes two other tunes and puts them into the musical mixing bowl with fins subcess. This counterpoint business of course is not new, but it is going to be mighty popular this week because Huff is more than a splsndid organist, he is a showman and knows the necessity of doing something new all the time. And a big pipe organ is certainly a big enough plaything to do lot of musical tricks on. Lester Huff is a master at the pipe organ and appreciates the valtie of doing new unique things or dressing up thp old with new musical attire. There are t\to film features at the Apollo this week. They are Bebe Daniels in “The Palm Beach Girl” and “Around the World With the United Press. “I will tell you about the United Press movie in another spaceftoday. Bebe Daniels has reached that point of her career, where she glorifies human comedy. To my way of thinking, Bebe Daniels is as solid an everyday film leader that we have just now. Bebe seems to go on her merry way, Increasing her following all the time. In “The Palm Beach Girl,’’ Bebe is cast as one of those delightful little country cousins, who goes to Palm Beach to be a lady. And Bebe is some lady. When she lands at the fashionable resort, Bebe gets off on the wrong foot. Even her face is in bad. Whert you see this picture you will agree with me. . The water scenes are well handled, especially when Bebe Is running wild in a speed boat. To my way of thinking, “The Palm Beach Girl” is glorified Bebe Daniel's fun. You must come over and frolic with Belie. The bill includes music by Emil Seidel end his orchestra, a F° x News, and other events. At the Apollo all week.

LETTING MR. RESENER DO V MIGHTY PLEASANT THING As I told you at the beginning of my movie remarks that Edward Resener was setting anew fashion of orchestral novelty work at the Circle this week, so I will tell you all about it. i Resener has the classical as well as the syncopated tempo which one expects of orchestral conductors these days. In a movie theater there must be music of all kinds to please all tastes. This is Reseller’s second

week as conductor of the Circle Theater Orchestra. He has been associate conductor for many years. And this man deserved the promotion when Bakaleinikoff left on a leave of absence for the Pacific coast. This week Resener has gathered a lot of the new tunes of the day together, and after making a musical quilt Pt these number s, Reseller added a novelty stunt at

Aileen Pringle

the very end of the overture. He turns his big orchestra into a singing band. Anti how this novelty stunt went over when I saw the show yesterday. When an audience likes a thing nowadays they applaud, and they sure did that little thing yesterday following the singing of the chorus of "Horses” as a part of the overture. Resener brought the orchestra to its feet to' share the applause. It is nry idea that "The Wilder*

How World News Is Gathered Is Shown at Apollo

By Walter D. Hickman That the-nrovie screen is always open to movies which are both educational and entertaining is proven this week at the Apollo, where “Aroi/nd tlie World With the United Press” is being shown as one of the features of the bill which includes Bebe Daniels* in- “The Palm Beach Girl.” Many people do not realize what an undertaking it is to gather news from all parts of the world and to cause those events to be photographed and printed as news stories in papers all over the world. The United Press is such an agency and was fbunded in 1907 by E. W. Scripps for the purpose of giving correctly and uncontrolled all the news of tne world. And today over 900 newspapers in North Americe use the United Pzess service in giving the facts of world events. “Around the World With the United Press" was made into a tworeel movie for the purpose of letting movie patrons and readers of the United Press service know the actual getting and distributing of news. I have nad years of service in the newspaper game and yesterday at the Apollo, after seeing this United Press movie, I realized more than ever what a gigantic task that this, news gathering system was successful accomplishing every hour of the day and night.

Movie Verdict CIRCLE Edward Resener springs fine syncopated surprise during the overture this week- “The Wilderness woman” is pleasing hokum and applesauce. Good theater. APOLLO —Bebe Daniels has a rip-snortin’ funny role, in “The Palm Beach Girl.” Lester Huff proves himself a master at the pipe organ. “Around the World With the United Press” shows how news is gathered around the world and brought into your home. COLONIA L —About the roughest wildman of a villain the screen has ever seep in reflected in “The Isle of Retribution,’’ a severe melodrama. OHIO —Owen Moore as a lady doctor, walks away with the comedy in “Money Talks,’’ a good comedy. Lots of fun.

ness Woman’’ is • pleasant applesauce. Here is hokum all dressed up with the artistry of three good players—Aileen Pringle, Chester Conklin and Lowel Sherman. Miss Pringle as the wilderness lady of the We3t, who goes to New YorH with her rich dad (Mr. Conklin), has a kick In her right arm, which equals that of a mule. Dad gets an idea that he should buy the New York subway and he nearly does, but the good old hokum days return, Dad saves Ills money and his wild daughter becomes a lady. So much so that she marries Lowell Sherman, that grand night body of the stage and screen. “The Wilderness Woman" Is plain hokum all dressed up in pleasant applesauce. Good theater. Bill includes “Till We Eat Again,” “Gold and Fleece,” and the Circle News. At the Circle all week.

MR. FIXIT Heat Damaging Sidewalks, Reader Declares.

Let Mr. Fixit present your case to city officials. Ho is The Times’ representative at the city hall. Write him at The Times. In the midst of the temporary cold wave, Mr. Fixit received a letter complaining that heat had damaged a sidewalk. DEAR MR. FIXIT: The heat has damaged the sidewalk in front of 937 Oxford St. It has been almost two weeks since I reported it to the city engineer’s office. C. E. R. Investigation will be made soon. If the defect is due to faulty work of the contractor, he will be held accountable. Similar investigation will take place In the complaint of Mrs. W. H. S. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Will you please see If the city can put a street light on the corner of Bicking and High Sts., or somewhere on Bicking between High and Alabama Sts.? Comb the neighborhood with a petition containing as many names as possible. You may obtain blanks at the board of works office .first floor, city hall. Prese it the petition to the board. DEAR MR. FIXIT: Would you please see that the garbage collectors garbage? It has been months since they have been along this alley. We'must bury it, and as the yard is small, we are getting it filled. I have a regulation can and comply with the rules. READER. 821 Goodlet Ave. The garbage collection department will attend to this matter at once. PARTY MEETING CALLED National Group, Political Organization to Reorganize. National Chairman JohnsZahnd of the National Party, a lKilitical organization in which membership is attained by payment of a membership fee and monthly dues, today called a meeting of members for July 3 at national headquarters, 8 E. Market St. Reorganization is to be taken up. Members unable to attend were requested to vote by mail-on six reorganization questions. Zahnd was the party's nominee for President in 1924. “Questions to be decided by the reorganization vote include the retention of present officers, an increase in membership fees from $1 to $3, a change in t)ie date of annual meetings, and the creation of a national government board.

It seems to me that the general public will welcome a chance to see, study and enjoy the United Press method of getting news. Where the big things happen the world over and where the ltitle things happen, there you will also see a representative of the United Press. I was surprised to learn that in South America, some of thf newspaper plants are really great palaces. The office of one newspaper editor looks more like the private room of a king than a newspaperman. The United Press’niaintains in all the capitals of the world what might be called a news embassy and they are Jjtst as important and commanding as the official embassies of any government. In many of the views of these foveign news centers, you will sen the United Press men talking with the American enrbassaders, the rulers and representatives of the various countries. You wiH see Prenfler Baldwin of England leaving his official residence after stopping the big strike a few days ago. You will witness the newspaper men scampering off to tell the that the strike was over, H*Ot much interest are the scenes this actual receiving and distributing of the hews In Japan.

seen on tho screen. He is played by Victor M'Lngleii, a sort of an hairy ape character. He is the master of an island in Jh° far north. W h e. n four shipwrecked society people from Seattle land on his island, the brute master turns ’em all into slaves. The women are forced to run traps in dead winter an and do anything that the

brute demands. There is one other guy in the party. At first he couldn’t whip a fi.v but he snaps into the bud bargain and before the end of the story, our hero becomes a real hero. He gives the brute a gnod whipping and a snow slide does the rest. So Robert Frazer turns out to be a reclaimed hero and Lillian Rich shares his joy as his wife. “The Isle of Retribution" is severe melodrama, too far fetched at times to be really convincing. !>o of the natural scenery Is beautiful. Here is the hard boiled villain so hard boiled that it is hard to break Him. The bill Includes Charles Puffy in “The Optimist,” Aesop Fables, news reel and the American Ilurinonists. At the Colonial all week. •I’ ’l’ ’l* OWEN MOORE SHINES IN' "MONEY TALKS" FILM When it conies to vamping sea captains, Owen Moore, dressed as a woman, knows all that should be done. When he gets through "vampin’ em" they are vamped Yor acer tainty. In “Money Talks," at the Ohio for the week, Moore during the story is forced to take the part of a famous--woman doctor, a nerve specialist. On a boat going to a sanitarium the fact is disclosed that the captain is car- - < ? G'lng some liquor as a little personal c venture in busiIftj g ness.

Moore her wig. “Money Talks" is full of real peppy fun. It starts out showing the troubles Sam Staring and his yfiuug wife are having with their creditors, and the beginning shows the separation of the husband and wife. Claire Windsor, as the wife, says she will not return to her "go- getter" husband until he makes good. Starling discovers a pleasure resort named ‘‘Pleasure Island,". that is about on the rocks financially. He decides that this is his chance to really make good by making the thing pay. The owners tell him that the air there is wonderful so he decides to turn the place into a health resort and sell the public the excellent air at $2 a sniff, to quote him. Most of the humorous action of the picture takes place during a boat trip to the resort and it is during the trip that Starling and his wife are reunited again in an odd manner. The whole picture however contains much humour of the kind thal one expects from Owen Moore and is fine entertainment. The bill includes The College Four, a group of four young men in song and instrumental selections on the stage and organ selections, by Ruth Noller. At the Ohio all week.

of newsboys as just youngsters, but this film shows that the "newsboys" in Switzerland are often old men with beards. "Around the World With the United Press" will be a revelation to many people when, they realize the tremendous expense that it takes to gather news over the world. It also shows that with such a fine crowd of news gathering expenses that the chance of error has been nearly eliminated. The United Press system makes London about nine minutes from New York and Los Angeles about four minutes. A great chuin of wires and cables brings tho news to the centrul office in New York and other points. Here is educational entertainment of the better sort. It instructs and entertains at 'he same time It requires utrout twenty-two minutes to show this film and the Apollo is showing every second of it. “Here is fine educational entertainment,'’ Manager Kennedy of .the Apollo said. “It gives all peoplo an intimate view of Just how news is gathered and distributed.” I know that the audience yesterday when I was at the Apollo not only applauded the film but were greatly interested and entertained. It is through the courtesy of the Apollo management us /well as tlie United Press which nrfikes possible tho allowing of tills llfn.
