Bu United Press OKLAHOMA CITY, July 30.—The “Sens of Satan,” alleged society of young sophists, may have gone the way of similar advanced thinkers, but its moving spirits, students at the University of Oklahoma, intend to carry on its tenets. Simultaneously with the announcement that parental displeasure had abrogated the short-lived activities of the “Sons of Satan,” Tom Williams, student, announces the launching of anew order, the “Truth Seekers.” Despite the resignation of Robert Janz, university sophomore and one of the former associates, who renounced his connection following a conference with his father, Williams says he and five fellow thinkers will carry on the work under “the more expressive name.” HEADACHE CURE SHOWN Magazine Gives Common Sense Rules for Relief.

U. S. KILLS LIBERALS Planes Bomb Sandino’s Men for Third Time. Bu United Press MANAGUA, July 30—American aviators, aiding the land forces in pursuing the Liberal General Sandino, again bombed a small outpost of Sandino’s troops yesterday, and several Nicaraguans were killed and wounded, according to reports reaching here today. It was the third time Sandino’s men had been attacked from the air. Being without defensive weapons against planes, the troops were reported to be deserting their leader. Marines and loyal Nicaraguan national guardsmen were pushing still farther into the jungle in pursuit of Sandino. A large bulk of the Liberal party resents statements of General Moncada that Sandino and his followers are bandits. They accuse the former Liberal chief, who capitulated when Stimson laid down his terms, of playing personal politics.

One of the most outstanding accomplishmetats of Haldane’s career as Secretary of War, and one for which he was bitterly criticized at the time, was his plan for the formation of the Territorial Army which he quietly and steadily built out of the somewhat ramshackle old Volunteer Force,

The PASSING PROCESSION

NEWS of the WEEK Boiled Down

By VOLTA TORREJY “All I know is what I read in the papers.” This week, most of the news lias been political. Internationally, it is fraught with | war talk and preparedness. Friday was the thirteenth anniversary of the Austrian bombardment in Ser-

bia which began the World War, and although the nations are still mourning their dead and struggling under the burden of debt, all are girding themselves for another. Civilization soon will be in condition to burst into flames again from as slight a spark as that 1914 shot. Locally, enough cause has been shown for war, but the hardened politicians whose honor has been attacked (perhaps for lack of preparedness) adhere to a policy of silence, and the official probe is dragging through so many days that the public is inclined to’ lose interest.

NAVAL TARLEY FAILING

British delegates returned to President’s Coolidge’s naval limitations conference at Geneva after conferring with their superiors in London. They then advanced proposals very little different from those previously urged in vain. The American delegates promptly replied that unless furthe* concessions were made by the British, the meeting would adjourn—a failure. W. C. Bridgeman, the British leader, declared: “’I think it will end Monday.” The Japanese representatives, who philosophically enjoyed the Swiss scenery while the Americans and British were deadlocked, are pac - ing their bags to go home. The United States’ objection to the British proposal are: It limits the number of 10,000-ton eight-inch gun cruisers, the type needed by the United States, without limiting the number of small cruisers desired by Britain. There are more British naval stations scattered over the world than American, and these enable Britain to get along with the smaller cruisers. By limiting all except twelve large cruisers to a maximum of 6,000 tons and six-inch guns, Britain’s huge merchant fleet becomes a potential cruiser squadron. By allowing retention of so-called obsolete ships up to twenty-five per cent of the treaty total, and reducing the age limit on “modern" ships, the plan’s nominal 590,000 tonnage total for both Britain and the United States, becomes an actual 740,-000-ton total.

NICARAGUAN NEIGHBORS

The United States marines sent out to get Sandino and his fleeing force of Liberals in Nicaragua have been heard from. In a preliminary skirmish Tuesday, they killed several Nicaraguans. One marine was wounded. And Wednesday, American bombing planes spotted Sandino’s rear guard and proceeded to their murderous task in earnest, killing and wounding a score. Sandino is the only liberal general who has not surrendered under the peace which the marines enforced in Nicaraguan several weeks ago. Other foreign hews is more cheerful. Conferences of non-military representatives of many nations are being held at Geneva, and at Williamstown, Mass. At Geneva, the “open door” principle in news dissenmination is being urged before the International Press Conference, The vital need of keeping governmental news clean and free of propaganda is being stressed by the foes of the monopolistic “official” news agencies. At Williamstown, every phase of important world political problems is being discussed by lecturers from England, France, Italy, United States and other countries, before the seventh annual Institute of Politics. Instead of dickering over ship figures as do the naval experts at the arms parley, these scholars and government experts are studying ethics,, principles and policies.

COOLIDGE THE MOVIE STAR

Apparently losing little sleep because his plan to limit navies is failing. President Coolidge continues to play movie star at Rapid City, S. D. One story emanating from his camp is that he helped push a heavy farm wagon up a steep hill, while the obliging cameraman rode in the wagon, and took pains to get pictures showing the sweat on his brow. Time was found between scenes, however, for the President to stamp his O. K. on anew tax reduction program, which the administration forces will back in Congress. It provides a corporation tax cut of from 13H per cent to 11 per cent, and possible elimination of some nuisance taxes such as those on theater admissions. Every business house which failed to benefit under the last tax revision, is promised a reduction in this one. But Mr. Coolidge will not recommend any cut for smaller income tax payers and the Democrats in the Senate may object to this, to say nothing of the small income tax payers. At the conference of state governors at Mackinac Island, Mich., farm relief has been stressed, and several Republican leaders have found time in the midst of their glittering generalities to boost Lowden. The tariff may prove another

bump in Coolidge’s road. The Senate 'tariff investigating committee is expected to denounce administration of the 1922 flexible tariff act. Several instances of political manipulation to keep important articles under a heavy duty have been shown during the committee's 12month inquiry.

INDIANA IN LIMELIGHT

Indiana politics have received nearly as much attention as national politics in all parts of the nation this week. On Monday, the Times charged that Ed Jackson as Secretary of State conveyed an offer of SIO,OOO to pay attorney's fee to Governor McCray in 1923, in return for which McCray was asked to name not William H. Remy, but James P. McDonald, whom George V. Coffin preferred, to prosecutor's office. With the offer of SIO,OOO, went a pledge that no jury would convict McCray on any charge. McCray is alleged to have replied: “I have lost my money, I may lose my office. Perhaps I will lose my liberty. But I still will carry with me a sense of self-respect that I could not have if I made such a bargain." In the face of the exposure Ed Jackson attended the governor’s conference this week, and answered all reporter's questions with: “I have nothing to say.” Jackson is expected back at rfis office in the Statehouse Monday. Meanwhile, the “black boxes” of Stephenson are in the hands of prosecutors, and the Times has turned over the checks which Stephenson wrote to aid Jackson, including the famous $2,500 check, which Jackson claims was for a horse. And Indianapolis city politics have been kept humming, by the report that council members in secret caucuses this week, studied requests from leading citizens that Mayor Duvall be impeached.

STILLMANS AND AIMEE

Two vaudeville acts, the Stillmans and Aimee McPherson, promised to run as long on the American stage as “Abie’s Irish Rose" on Broadway. The married life of Bud and Lena Stillman was ushered in this week by the hurling of crockefy. After the ceremony at Grand Anse. Que., at which the farm girl became the bride of the wealthy heir, Mrs. “Fifi” Stillman became angry at cameramen and threw china at them. The remainder of the honeymoon has been peaceful. Aimee's act this week was a mother-and-daughter quarrel, which began over financial rifts at Angelus Temple, and which culminated in an offer to resign by the evangelist. But the loyal congregation of Angelus Temple, refused to accept the resignation. Plans are going forward for organization of a "Salvation Navy” to spread the ‘‘Four Square” Gospel of Aimee over the nation, and an associate will be hired to preach at the Temple, in order that Admiral McPherson can spend more of her time in other cities.

OTHER OLD FAVORITES

Speaking of vaudeville acts, another old favorite with the American public, His Honor the Prince of Wales, is scheduled to appear in Canada during the coming week. He is enroute now with Premier Baldwin, and other British notables, and keeps in training while aboard ship by riding a mechanical camel. This, the experts say, is much better than Calvin Coolidge’s mechanical horse, or for that matter, the regular horse which Hoosiers and Klansmen ride The dissolution trial of the House of David blushes on, with more loyal members appearing on the stand to deny the charges of immorality. The case of Sacco-Vanzetti, which is internationally significant, is nearing a climax. Governor Fuller of Massachusetts is understood to have practically completed his inquiry into the case. The two prisoners are still on a hunger strike.

AUTOMOBILE WARFARE

Detroit automobile dealers have informed purchasers that deliveries Indianapolis Woman Finds Right Way— Another Indianapolis woman has just found the quickest and cheapest way to sell used but still useful articles. Her own words tell the story: “At last I have found the right paper to advertise in,” -writes Mrs. Ross Meredith, 417 E. 17th. “My ad in The Times made the sale over the one I had in both the other papers. —HERE’S THE AD—BABY carriage, stroller type, blue reed.

of Ford’s new model can be expected Aug. 15. Meanwhile, it is reported that General Motors and United States Steel may be united soon in an industrial attack on Ford. Pierre S. DuPont, chairman of General Motors, and an important figure in the DuPont explosive companies, is even talked of as a successor to Judge Elbert H. Gary as chairman of United States Steel. If that should happen, the DuPont family, already strongly represented in railroads, would have widespread influence in the three great branches of current industry, steel, motors and rails. Ford already has absolute control over his great motor company and over a miscellaneous collection of railroads, coal mines and other industries. Thus the stage would be set, for a battle of giants. Standard Oil has been engaged in a ruckus over buying of oil from Soviet Russia. Critics score them for buying of Russia in the face of over production at home. Other companies continue to clamor for aid in getting oil out of Mexico. M. E. Tracy wrote Wednesday: "The average citizen finds it hara to understand why the ever production at home is any better argument against Russian oil than against Mexican oil.” The New York subway strike which was expected this week, has been postponed under a sort of “armistice” agreement, the real difficulties having not been ironed out yet.

OTHER HEADLINES

Twenty-seven lives were lost when the excursion steamer Favorite same midway on its “run” of half dozen miles between the Chicago municipal pier and Lincoln Park. Twentyfive of the dead were women and children. Four separate probes cf the tragedy are under way. Lt. C. C. Champion attemped to break the world’s altitude record at Bolling field, and when he reached a height of seven miles, a cylinder exploded, and the burning plane plunged to earth, but the pilot escaped unhurt. The old record of 40,810 feet, set by Callizo of “’ranee, still stands. Charles Birger, who was sentenced to die, and his two aids who got life imprisonment after trial for murder in Illinois, lost their motions for anew trial. Charles Lindbergh is continuing his tour of New England. He will head west soon, and reach Indianapolis Aug. 9. After first telling a story of murder by bootleggers from ambush, Reginald E. Walters, under-cover prohibition agent, confessed that he had slain Hunter R. Stotler, another dry officer, on a lonely mountain road near Boonsboro, Md. He charged that Stotler had broken up his home. Inability to find a few drops of pure whisky is blamed by W. F. Lenges of Terre Haute, for the death of his 9-day-old child. The doctor had prescribed whisky in either milk or water. “When the Governor and Attorney General need it for their dear ones they got it, but I didn’t,” said Lenges, after describing his futile search.
