CHICAGO ‘MURDER’ DOCKET CLEAN UP, HOP HE JUDGE State Asks Death for 12 Defendants on Trial in October. Bu Times Sveeial CHICAGO, Oct. I.—An earnest and spectacular attenr.pt to clear the amazing Chicago crime docket for the first time In more than ten years has been inaugurated by William J. Lindsay, new chief justice of the Criminal Court. Judge Lindsay has selected October as "murder month” and during that thirty-one days he proposes to dispose of all the big murder trials that have cluttered the records of the court through endless months of delays and postponements. Is Experiment , The plan is an experiment in swift justice and Lindsay admits that it may not work: But he is determined to try and the city is watching his moves with eager approval. Soon after taking the office of chief justice, a position in which he probably comes in contact with more killers than any other man in the country, Lindsay found that the Criminal Court docket had not been clear of murder cases since 1915. He then drew up what he called a “murder calendar” and ordered that all trials for murder and acts of violence be placed ahead. Judge Lindsay’s clerk reported that an even dozen important murder cases were pending. The judge then ordered all of them set for October and notified the defense attorneys that he would grant no continuances except in cases where real emergencies made them necessary. Six Judges Six judges, including the chief justice, will be brought to the criminal bench to hear the murder trials and the score or more of assault cases. The prospect of the courts actually catching up With the crime wave in this manner has caused a stir in the underworld, which ha long considered the Criminal Court to be little more than a tool of the skillful defense attorneys who win delays for their clients through the technicalities of the law. Judge Lindsay believes the psychological effect of his plan will go a long way toward reducing crime. Saltis to Trial One of the most importan -trials of the "murder month” series will be that of Joseph Saltis, notorious gangster, and his two accomplices, Frank Concil and John Oberto, for the killing of John Foley, south side “beer baron.” In this case the State will demand the death penalty for all three defendants. Others for whom hanging will oe asked include former Detective Thomas Christianson, accused of murdering a roadhouse proprietor; i

FIGHT FOR WATER POWER IN CALIF. UP INJpiBER State Offers $500,000,000 —Opposed by Corporations. Times Washington Bureau. 1322 New York Avenue WASHINGTON, Oct. I.—The State of California, if the people approve next November, is about to make the most far-reaching experiment in public control of natural resources, ever tried in this country. Water is the vital element of every phase of California development. Prevent F’loods It is proposed now to create a State board which will take over the entire problem of water conserva tion in California, regulate the flew so that floods will be prevented and irrigation extended to new arAs. and produce and sell hydro-electric power. The credit Os the State, to the extent of $500,000,000, is to be behind the development, making it more extensive than any private power company or group of compa nies could undertake. However, power companies, which constitute the most powerful corporate group in the State, are fighting the proposition. Defeated Before Twice before this same proposal has voted on. The first time ii was defeated two to one. The second tie the vote for the measure increased by almost a hundred thou sand. California's recent primary, at which a liberal Governor was nominated, has encouraged the forces behind the water power act to hope for success at the November elec tion. SHARK PROFITS LONDON.—The shark is to be made a paying commercial proposition. A 1700-ton clipper has been fitted to sail for the Great Barrier reef, off Queensland. It is equipped for making every part of a shark into a useful commodity. Skins will become leather; flesh will be converted into oils, glues and fertilizer, and the fins, considered a great culinary delicacy in China, will be prepared for export.

PRETTY FACE OF HINDU GIRL LURES RAJAHS TO FILMS LONDON, Oct. 1. —Because the lovely Oriental face of pretty Seeta Devi has charmed London highbrow movie audiences for a solid six months, thus establishing a record—five rich and powerful Indian princes are going into the n.ovie game in their own country. It’s alost as romantic a stony as anything that any Hollywood scenario writer ever thought out. It begins with Dr. Niranjan Pal, a highly educated Hindu of the Brahmin caste, who got degrees in Calcutta and London universities. His diplomas proclaimed him a medical man, but Pal preferred literature and the theater and the films. He wrote a reverent and beautiful flint scenario called “The Light of Asia,” dealing with the romantic story of Buddha. Then he went back to India to produce it ina new way. He would have no artificial light, no fake scenery, no greased-up faces. He enlisted the aid of several educated Hindus, most of whom ,vere lawyers o.nd doctors. They were not professional actors, but they knew something about the life of their own people. The scenes were taken in brilliqnt sunlight. Where a scene was to occur in a palace, it was really taken in one. Little Seeta Devi, beautiful daughter of a Brahmin family, was chosen for the part of the heroine. When the film was finished. Dr. Pal tried to get it shown in India. He found all the leading movie houses tied up for American films. To get a chance to show in Calcutta and Bombay he had to pay the owners of several houses sums which totaled $5,000. Pal went to various Indian princes and tried to get them to put up money to produce Indian films by Indian actors and to be shown in Indian as well as European houses. “Go get a reputation,” they all told him wearily. "Show \s that Europe can be interested in Indian films.” Pal came back to London and found all the houses practically closed against him. So he rented a hall himself. The picture has been going strong ever since. He sent a man to New York to .look for an opening. Nothing doing. But now bigger things are opening out for Pal. The Indian princes have been convinced by his success in London. So the Maharajah of Alwar.the Maharajah of Patiala, the Maharajah of Blkanir, the Maharajah of Jaipur and the Agha Khan have associated themselves in a $5,000,000 scheme to produce films and build movie houses. "Their highnesses,” said Pal, “are not in this thing for profit, nor to 1 fight the American film industry. But they want to make an opening for Indian films in their own country. They contemplate building 300 movie houses. "Hindus are great patrons of the movies. Each year something like

MATRIMONIAL ARGUMENT English Scientist Says, ‘Don’t Marry Below Self.’ Bu United Press LONDON, Oct. I.—Modern democratic ideals conflict with proven results of English peerage heredity, according to Thurkill Cooke, noted anthropologist, in a recent address. "Peerage is never benefited by marriage with lower classes,” he declared. "Families which spring from socially homogeneous classes tend to show a greater preponderance of noble endowments than families subjected to social and psychic stresses, particularly those stresses arising from the intermarriage with inferior stocks. “Natural distinction and sound heritage are not improved by the introduction of elements which are not in accord with a naturally rational family. Intermarriage of the peerage class with inferior stock heralds the decadence or rich ancestral strains. “Family distinction of a stable order is a product of show growth and is seldom won by sudden elevation. which usually brings a loss of adaptive equilibrium and frequent reversion to the common ancestral level.” FATALLY STABS BROTHER Bu United Press Then Is First to Give His Blood in Effort to Save Life.

Almost the entire city is ablaze with enthusiasm about Mr. Payne’s preparation. Mr. Payne says that Husky is different from anything else obtainable. It is made front pure, unadulterated juices of,plants that grow in the fertile Blue Grass Region of Kentucky. It is logical to suppose that plants that grow in this section contain more than because the same soil produces the finest hay and hurley tobacco in the' world.

"I was so nervous that I often thought I would fly to pieces. Everything that I ate disagreed with me. My sleep was broken and I had frightful night mares.

It is a perfectly wonderful medicine.” Husky is obtainable at the Haag drug stores and at all other wellstocked drug stores everywhere.
