MINTAGE AND REMY CONFER ON Prosecutor Indicates Talk Was of Little Moment, ‘Just a Laugh.’ The flurry in political circles occasioned by the visit of William H. Armitage, former Republican county chairman, to Prosecutor William H. Remy Tuesday afternoon subsided today, when Remy made light of what Armitage had to tell him. Armitage sent a message to Remy Tuesday morning that he had “something” to tell Remy. After conferences by telephone, the meeting was arranged. Some persons believed that Armitage was about to make an important disclosure. But Remy said: “If I would tell you what Armitage talked about, you would laugh.” Hint in Armitage Reply Armitage, told what Remy had Said, remarked: “Well, perhaps you would.” It was disclosed, however, that Armitage had deserted the cool comfort of his elaborate fishing camp on the Tippecanoe River in northern Indiana for the trip back to the city, and that he intended to go right back. The grand jury is not taking up the political corruption probe and has not read a single line of the transcript collected from former grand jury and prosecutors’ hearings. prosecutors insisted. “The grand jury is talking things over,” was the explanation of the first afternoon session held Tuesday. Jury in Session The grand jury was in session With Remy and Deputy William H. Sheaffer until 5 p. m. Before meeting, William J. Mooney, foreman, said the jurors desired to clear the docket of routine cases before vacation, which starts next month. It still is predicted that the jury will not take up the investigation until it reconvenes in September. Remy refused to say # anything definite about the grand jury's actions. “I can not break my confidence with the jury,” he said. “I promised not to reveal what is going on.” The Rev. William H. Brightmire, former Klan orator and organizer, conferred with Deputy Prosecutor Sheaffer Tuesday afternoon. Jackson Mentioned Names of Governor Ed Jackson and D. C. Stephenson were mentioned during the conference. Brightmire told Sheaffer he “wanted to see the situation cleared up and if there was anything he could do, the prosecutors should call him.” Sheaffer said he would and that he would ask Stephenson “that Question” when he saw him again. Sheaffer took four large books, entitled “Testimony of Mildred Meade,” into the grand jury room Today. Miss Meade, former confidante of Stephenson, believed once to 4 have some of his documents, has been before the jury several times.

VISIONS SKY TRAVEL \ Purdue Science Dean Gives Helium Credit. Bu United Press STATE COLLEGE. Pa., July 20. —Commercial airships, inflated with helium gas, soon will be common sights in the American skies, according to Dr, R. B. Moore, dean of science at Purdue University. Dr. Moore made this prediction in an address before the institute of chemistry of the American Chemical Society here. “No large supplies of helium have been discovered outside of the United States.” the speaker said, “and this gives us a virtual monopoly of safe airship travel.” Helium is fireproof gas. Dr. Moore declared that had the United States naval airship Shenandoah been filled with hydrogen gas instead of helium, hardly a member of its crew would have escaped the disaster over Ohio. SCHOOL FUND CRISIS BEFORE CONFERENCE Indiana State and County Officials Meet at Milford. Bit United Press MILFORD. Ind., July 20.—How to stretch $550,000 to do the work of $700,000 was the problem considered here today at a conference of the State department of education, attended by State county officials from all parts of the State. The $500,000 is what the State Legislature appropriated to meet school aid requests. The $700,000 is the total amount of such requests to date. Superintendent of Public Instruction Charles F. Miller could not make both ends meet and called the conference in the hope that county officials could be induced to reduce estimates of what they need. School trustees and city and county superintendents of schools are attending. Under the law, aid goes only to schools in financial straits, but so many districts have applied for aid, that Miller deemed it necessary to thoroughly explain the law. ARREST IN ELOPEMENT Mishawaka Girl, 15, at Home—Companion Faces Charge.

BRITISH NAVAL STEP SEEN AS CLUB OVER U. S. London Delegation Is Called Home From Geneva for ‘lnstructions/ By HENRY WOOD. United Press Staff Correspondent I GENEVA, July 20.—The recall to l London of the British delegation at I the naval armaments conference | was viewed in some quarters today i as a diplomatic maneuver to compel the United States to accept the British proposals on cruiser tonnage and size of guns or permit the conference to end in failure. Admiral Frederick Field, Britisn naval adviser, who remained in Geneva, is ill, and it was believed that only his condition prevented him from accompanying W. C. Bridgeman, Viscount Cecil, and Captain Egerton when they left last night for London. Bridgeman insisted just before he left that the recall merely was to report fully to the admiralty and the cabinet and perhaps to receive new instructions. However, Hugh S. Gibson, head of the American delegatiop, was visibly disappointed when he emerged last night after a call on Bridgeman. Talk of Compromise Despite the gloom and in the face of denials at Washington and here that a tentative agreement Jtad been reached, reports persisted today that a compromise agreement was in prospect. The compromise, it was understood, envisaged the conditional acceptance by all three powers at the conference of a total tonnage of 625.000 each for the United States and Great Britain and 406,000 for Japan. Twenty-five per cent of that quota, however, would be obsolete ships. In other words, excluding the obsolete vessels, Great Britain and the United States each would be allowed a “visible tonnage” of half a million and Japan 325.000, and an “invisible tonnage” of obsolete vessels for the remainder. The obsolete vessels would be intended only for defensive purposes. Other Problems Remain Even if such compromise agreement has been reached, several vital problems remained to be settled before the conference can be called a success. They included two questions on which the United Stated and Great Britain thus far are as far apart as ever: The size of guns for cruisers and the number of 10.000-ton cruisers. The British delegation was expected to be away for the remainder of the week. During its absence the United States and Japanese delegates will mark time, as any agreebetween the two powers without Britain’s approval would be meaningless. The Japanese, m a statement to the press, said tney would accept any compromise favorable both to Great Britain and the United States. TEACHERS TOLD DUTIES Train Boys and Girls to Be Better, Whistler Advises. A teacher’s first duty is to make better boys and girls, declared H. M. Whistler, teachers’ training director, Tuesday at the Teachers’ College of Indianapolis chapel. Whistler stressed the value of ideals over material things. “Habits of right thought and action which a teacher instills in a child are more important than grammar or geography,” said Whistler. Tuesday’s chapel was the last session of the first summer term. Students registered today for the second term. WOMAN, CHILDREN HURT Mrs. John N. Rohrman’s Shoulder Fractured in Auto Crash.

Alas, Most Fascinating Legs Twinkle Unsung

Bp United Priss NEW YORK. July 20.—The most fascinating pair of legs in the United States may be twinkling, unsung, in Birmingham today, all because their fair owner couldn’t come to New York to show them to the world. The legs are owned by Miss Eva Briggs, an Alabama girl, who was a heavy favorite with the board of elimination for the annual Beautiful Leg contest of the National Hosiery and Underwear exposition, now in session at the Hotel Wal-dorf-Astoria. The hundreds of girls whose photographs were entered were eliminated to the score who were invited to New York for a personal appearance in the finals. All came except Miss Briggs. The other nineteen were inspected yesterday. Nineteen pairs of shapely, silken-clad calves, with dimpled knees peeping shyly from under upraised skirts, were paraded before the four judges, experts in art and underwear.

It was decided, after heated debate, that Miss Gladys Turner, a Broadway showgirl, had the best of those present. But there wal many a sigh for the absent Miss Briggs. All J,hc judges had inspected photographs of her twin attractions and there was no argument. However. Miss Turner won. and on the following grounds: Ankle. 9 inches; calf, 14 inches; knee, 14 1 2 inches; thigh, 20' 2 inches. To a leg expert, a leg speaks for itself in a language only a true lover of legs can understand. As Harry Klemfuss, secretary of the exposition and one of the judges, explained; “Therp are legs and legs. They may look alike to the average person, but they may be worlds apart. A real leg has personality, distinction—what Elinor Glyn calls ‘lt.’ “They actually speak to you, and you can tell the owner's personality without looking higher.” So there it stands. The Judges felt that, despite the perfect measurements of Miss Briggi, they could not in justice proclaim her the winner without a personal inspection. However, she was awarded a silver cup. which will be sent to her. Her measurements, by the way, are: Ankle, 7U; calf, 13; knee, 13; thigh, 20. The winner’s legs will be cast by Pompeo Coppini, sculptor. It is customary to use the casts for the standard model of dummy legs used in store displays and for newspaper advertising.

WIDE MAN HUNT FOR TJERRORIZER Farm Residents Near Waynetown in Fear. Bu Times Special WAYNETOWN. Ind., July 20. Residents in a farming section north of here are in terror over the actions of an unidentified man who slips into homes and threatens the inmates. Numerous armed posses are searching for the man. So many bands are in the hunt that members tie handkerchiefs about their sleeves to identify each other as a precaution against someone being shot by mistake. Women are especially fearful of the intruder. While he has not yet attacked any person, he assumes a threatening attitude. Food apparently is the object of his entry into homes. At one home a woman surprised the man in a woodshed. He seized a club, but made no attempt to strike her and escaped before she could spread an alarm. Although the hunt has been bn since Saturday, not a trace of the man has been found. It is proposed to obtain bloodhounds from Indianapolis and several residents of the terrorized district have offered to subscribe to a fund to bring the dogs.

BODY MAY END DEATHMYSTERY Effort to Identify as Missing Warsaw Man. Bp United Press GARY. Ind., July 20.—The mysterious disappearance of Franklin Tucker, Warsaw (Ind.) cigar clerk, may be cleared up through the discovery of a body in underbrush near here. Kosciusko County authorities at Warsaw planned today to show bits of clothing found on the body to three Elkhart men in jail here and at Columbia City, accused, in grand jury indictments, of first degree murder in connection with Tucker's disappearance. It was hoped that the men, Vern Martin, John Baumgartner and Martin V. Ross, might identify the clothing as that of Tucker. Deputy Coroner Robert Marshall said that although the body was badly decomposed and complete identification therefore might be impossible, it had a resemblance to descriptions of Tucker. Tucker disappeared Jan. 3. He was believed to have had a large sum of money and the theory that he met with foul play was given weight by an alleged confession by Ross, who asserted he and his companions killed Tucker and disposed of the body. Lakes around Warsaw were dragged without success. Later, Ross repudiated this confession. Martin, who is to be tried first, is understood to be planning a defense that Ross was insane when he “confessed.” SHOOTING DRY AGENT • WILL NOT BE HELD Farmer Wounded During Raid Near Columbus.
