Not Very Assuring The manner in which the city council if handling the impeachment charges against Mayor John L. Duvall is not very assuring to the public cither as to the ability or the intentions of the membership. A special committee met behind closed doors for several hours last night and gored over the thirty-four-page typewritten indictment and then decided that they needed more time before even making up their minds as to what the council should do. Unless there is some ulterior and undisclosed motive, it would seem that the duty of this special committee was. very simple. In any orderly body, its whole duty would be limited to a decision as to whether the charges made were sufficient to remove the mayor if they were proved to be true. Citizens generally would have little trouble in deciding whether the charges were grave enough to remove him. They were quite specific and detailed. The mayor was charged with about every possible offense dating back before his election and running up to the time the resolution was filed asking for his trial and removal. Mayor Duvall was charged with violations of the corrupt practices law, the same charges which are now pending against him in the Criminal Court. He was charged with receiving money in advance from a politician for which he had promised to name a board of public works "that presumably would be generous with its perquisites and its treatment of friends of this politician. He was charged with removing a city engineer who had recommended a low bid to his board of works and thus prevented a contract at a much higher figure for which citizens would have been forced to pay many thousands of extra dollars. He was charged with placing his relatives in public jobs and on boards without regard to their fitness and merely for the purpose of taking care of his family. He was charged with the use of the police force and fire department to solicit subscribers for his shortlived and ill-starred newspaper adventure. He was chSTged with using public employes for his own personal purposes and thus diverting the use money of the people to his own advantage. What other things do the members of the council think a mayor could do before he was condemned as unfit? What other offense could be charged that would be more damning or which would render him more unfit for the office? The mere filing of charges, of course, does not prove anything. The charges are true or false. The mayor himself should be most interested in having a public hearing and a complete investigation which would vindicate him if they are not true. He should be expected, reasonably, xo demand that his name be cleared of these charges which were made by two members of the city council. Any other official might expect to have his representatives on the ground demanding a hearing, if he gpund the hunting so good that he could not spare Vue time to be there in person to demand that the Jfair name of Indianapolis be not besmirched by suppression of such charges in secret session. A secret committee has no power to try the mayor In his absence. Its only duty, under any reasonable procedure, would be to determine whether the charges on their face would be sufficient grounds of impeachment if they were proved. Os course some of these councilmen may have other Ideas. They may believe that impeachment charges are matters of-' private arrangement between themselves and the official against whom they are directed. They may have some idea of wjrat they expect to gain by secret conferences over public documents. Why not begin to do business in a business-like way even before the coming of the city manager system which the people have voted and for which they are waiting with some impatience? The conduct of the mayor in the matter is understandable. That of the city council only raises serious doubts as to the honesty of purpose of its membership.

A Typhoon Is Gathering Over Asia Just as we had feared, the collapse of the Presi-" dent’s naval conference at Geneva has sent the stock of both Britain and the United States down in Asia, where half the population of the earth are swarming. A glance, over Japanese newspapers reveals the fact that Orientals looked upon the conference as a “duel” between the two great branches of the Englishspeaking peoples, while editors generally commented upon the “bitterness” and “hostile spirit” manifest there between British and Americans. And it is to be remarked while few Far Eastern critics attach much importance to the naval aspect of the Geneva fiasco, they <k attach considerable importance to the political changes, internationally speaking, which may follow. One of the possibilities discussed is anew AngloJapancse understanding. On the advisability of such an agreement Japanese opinion seems divided, but opposition to it is probably more apparent than real. Down in their hearts many Japanese would welcome anew alliance with Britain, but they refuse to admit it even to themselves. Extremely sensitive, they have not yet quite recovered from their chagrin over Britain’s denunciation of the Anglo-Japanese alliance following the first naval conference at Washington. Naturally, therefore, it is not to be expected that they will rush back into Britain’s aims at ths first hint of an invitation. Nevertheless world events plus Britain’s, Japan's .nd America’s Far Eastern policies, may make anew Anglo-Japanese allignment inevitable. fust the other day there was a significant gathering of Japanese big wigs at Tokio. These high officials virtually announced a protectorate over Man- X churia and eastern Mongolia and laid down as a /undamental principle that the imperial government would, under no circumstances, permit any one to challenge Japan's special privileges there. Said the Osaka Mainichi: “Japan will take the most vigorous steps to that end.” Meanwhile it is a secret from no onO that Great Britain claims very special interests in middle and south China, in Thibet and eastern Turkestan. Like Japan, Britain, views China’s present struggle toward real nationhood with misgiving—Japan because a powerful China of 400,000,000 people would relegate her to second place in the Far East, Britain because of trade and other seasons. Manchuria and eastern Mongolia would add

800,000 square miles of extremely rich country to Japan, quadrupling her area with Korea included. But she can never hope to obtain an absolutely free hand there without a British o. Similarly Japan each year is becoming more and more in position to block Britain's ambitions in Asia if she chooses. Anew treaty might well be advantageous to both. What of the United States in anew deal of this kind? For more than a quaretr of a century the United States has opposed the partition of or any arrangement smacking of a partition. But what could America do if Britain and Japan slowly but surely took firmer hold on those parts of China that pleased them? Go to war? Hardly. About all she could do would be to write notes. This is not a forecast of what must happen. It is, however, an Indication of the trend of things behind that veil of mystery which we will persist in allowing to hang between us and Asia. $787,000,000 A Year In support of his contention that tax reduction is the foremost business before the coming Congress, Senator Tyson of Tennessee is quoted as saying: “I object to permitting money to accumulate in the treasury while the country is prosperous.” Such a statement is dangerously misleading. It suggests that treasury surpluses are shoveled into vaults and left there to satisfy the personal pride of the watchman. Os course, what actually happens Is that Federal revenues not appropriated for other purposes are used to retire the national debt. Because there have been large surpluses in recent years it has been possible to make rapid headway in debt retirement. But the 'national debt is still over eighteen billion dolltlrs. There’s about $l6O of war debt for every man, woman and child in the country. f Last year the Government paid $787,000,000 In interest on the national debt. That money-*-about a fifth of that spent by the Federal Government—was taken from taxpayers and paid to war bond holders for equipment that was blown up in the war ten years ago. It represented claims of the dead past on present taxpayers. v The only way that this enormous Interest charge can be reduced is by reducing the national debt. And the only way in which the debt can be reduced rapidly is by the accumulation of Federal funds in excess of current requirements. Tax reduction means a reduction in Federal revenues except in cases where excessive are stifling business. The continued prosperity of the country indicates that such cases which should be adjusted are rare.. The reduction of Fedeial revenues means a slow--ing up of debt retirement and a continuing burden of enormous Interest payments. While the country Is prosperous that burden does not seem oppressive. But it’s no more safe for a nation to count on continual prosperity than it is for an individual. Individual wisdom dictates that bills should be paid when the money Is available. National wisdom dictates that while prosperous we should chop away at our national debt. Such a policy, generally unappealing to politicians who reveal In talk of tax reduction, Is the certain course of statesmanship.

When Mis Fits Get Together When the baseball season opened the Chicago Cubs were hailed most generally as a crowd of misfits. They might win a game now and then, the majority of sport -Tribes conceded, but nothing very good could come of this outfit. •Now the Cubs are out in the lead and fighting like the very blazes to keep it. They stand an excellent chance of taking the flag and meeting the New York Yankees in the world series. And the Cubs have no Ruths or Gehrigs either. When a fair ball club catches the old fighting fire, great things result. And that seems to be what the Cubs have caught, aided by Manager Joe McCarthy and led by one good pitcher, Charley Root. It seems to bo jolly pennant weather when misfits get together. j~ An American captured by Mexican bandits was released for only SIOO ransom. We can remember the time when Americans used to bring at least SI,OOO any day, but, as the reformers say, we’ve gone to the dogs terribly. - It is reported that Lindy wants to go back to college. Well, college couldn’t make him a bigger fool than most of the American people have tried to do. So De Valera has taken an oath of allegiance to King George! Next thing you know the Philippines will be asking for annexation to the United States. The Wheat crop, In such States as South Dakota, is fine, but the latest national corn forecast wasn’t so good. Unfortunate that Mr. Colidge couldn’t get around to some of the com States this year. What s become of the Europeans who use to complain that Americans drank only ice water? Now that rubber socks have been produced, inner tube patches will be the bachelor’s best friend.

Law and Justice By Dexter M. Keezer

Employes of an electric power company temporarily left a high tension wire near the ground In a corn field without marking it with danger signs. A 13-year-old boy came into the field, struck the wire and was killed. The father of the boy sued the electric powew-company for damages on account of the negligence of its employes. The company contended that it. was not liable because the boy was a trespasser In the corn field. The company said that it did not own the com field, but the fact that the boy had no right to be there relieved the company of liability on account of his death. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual deoision: The Supreme Court of lowa decided that the fact that the boy was a trespasser on the land of a third person, on which the .exposed wire was located, did not relieve the company of liability for his death. The court said that the boy’s offense against the farmer who owned the corn field did not relieve the company which had no interest in the field of liability for its offense against the boy.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. TRACY SAYS: Vision Teaches Us What Might Be, Ingenuity Shows Us What Can Be, hut It Takes Courage to Prove What Will Be.

By United Prct* AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 23.—Sacco and Vanzetti go to the great beyond w' .h Madejros preceding them by only a few moments. “Long live anarchy,” cried one, ancT “I am innocent,” declared the other. Was it outraged guiltlessness speaking or the soul of martyrdom playing a consistent part to the end? The words of dying men are not always true,'but they are more apt to be than those of the living. Ghastly business, those triple executions, but not exceptionally so if one forgets the setting. If Monday was an average day, 5,000 people died in this country, some of them painfully. Again, if it ftas an average day, thirty were murdered, thirty were killed by automobiles and thirty committed suicide. Sacco and Vanzetti did not go forth into the dark alone. No one does. While you have read the above paragraphs, allowing that it took you thirty seconds, there were two deaths in the United States. Danger of Emotionalism Few men have ever received more attention than Sacco and Vanzetti during the last seven years of their lives, especially curing the last year. The efforts made In their behalf constitute a splendid exhibition of human syympathy, but one that leaves scars. Such waves of emotionalism do not die out quickly. Some people will continue the argument to their last breath, some have been made permanently hysterical, and some have played with thoughts of violence too intimately for release. There are natures which cannot pity without learning to hate, which cannot call for justice without succumbing to prejudice, which cannot fight to save without being tempted to destroy it.

Escape in Sky Monday was a hectic day, with j ttye Massachusetts tragedy drawing to its close, with a hundred ships still searching unsuccessfully for | the six men and one woman lost in the Pacific, with the 19-year-old boy who died in the Texas electric chair while protesting his innocence [ as the tears streamed down his j 1 face, and with the usual round of; accidents, troubles and fatalities! that each twenty-four hours brings! to this vast country. For one, I was glad to get away from it all by taking a hundred mile flight in the late afternoon. It was peaceful up there. 3,000 feet above this colorful section of Ohio, with its fields and forests spread out like a rug of varied greens and with its forty lakes scattered about like biVs of broken glass. Nicer Than Limousine - The plane was a Stinson-De-troiter, with a cabin seating four, and Howard Stark, the owner, at the stick. The engine was a Wright whirlwind motor like Lindbergh’s. Except that there was le;:s jar, it was like riding in a limousine. We found it possible to talk with each other, though not, of course, without raising our voices. Fooling the Prophets We circle ardUnd Akron, looking down at the great rubber manufacturies, some of which covered more than 180 acres. Then we flew over Kent, Ravenna, Warren, Niles and so to Youngstown, where we saw the mammoth steel plants bleaching smoke into the haevens and the greasy Mahoning River winding its way through the town. Coming back, we passed over the great reservoir which furnishes Youngstpwn its water supply, and which lay like a puddle spanned by a toy bridge that some child had built across it. It was a comfortable, glorious hour and well calculated to dispel gloomy thoughts with regard to human weakness by calling attention to triumphs of human genius. The greatest minds of my childhood declared that men would never fly, yet here I was, with three companions, beating the birds at their own game and experiencing not the slightest discomfort. Courage Essential Vision teaches us what might be, ingenuity shows us what can be, but it takes courage to prove what will be. Thousands of young men have given their lives to demonstrate not only the possibilities of aviation, but the improvements that must be made. We have better airplanes than we had ten years ago, mainly because the defects of the latter were revealed by tragedy, and ?.e shall have better airplanes ten years hence for precisely the same reason. Value of Stunts? In this connection, it seems to me that practical development of the airplane calls for enough risk, without such stunts as have been encouraged during this summer. It is hard to see whf-t the transoceanic flights have proved, except that the small, single motored airplane is not fit to make them. In the recent Hawaiian race, which was for a prize of $35,000, at least three, and possibly ten, have lost their lives, and the total expenditure has not been less than $300,000. / such results reveal the odds as too great.

Elizabeth Patterson Now Receives Her Greatest Indianapolis Ovation in ‘Charm,’a Great Comedy

Broadway for months in another season applauded and loved Elizabeth Patterson in “Charm.” Last night at Keith’s, Miss Patterson playing the role of Mrs. Harper, who be-

came charming and ultra to save her own daughter from going to New York where everything is “artistic,” felt the warmtli of an ovation in this city which no woman of thn stage has experienced since I nave been telling you about shows. The audience not only applauded last night, but became so happy that many yelled and cheered. I

Elizabeth Patterson

saw men laugh so loudly that they used their handkerchief.” to wipe away tears. In “Charm,” Miss Patterson has human comedy role which eqials that of her Mrs. Mandelharper in "A Very Good Young Man.” When a woman can convulse an audience by sticking a red rose in her hair and then become grand—well that is the last word in comedy work. I know as well as you do that appreciation is not the last word or even the word that makes great acting. But Miss Patterson is great acting—There is no approach to her in the human touch of life as applied to her way of doing a laugh of life and a tear of life. Life is Elizabeth Patterson In all moods. Truthfully, I do net- give one rap if anybody gives a rap of fine regard that I am praising Elizabeth Patterson from the skies. I know the truth of criticism. I know If I fail to tell you the way I feel about tho work of Miss Patterson, whether good or,bad, that I am a liar. I think you are having the greatest human comedy work that we have ever had In Indianapolis this week In “Charm.” I told you of that quality in her work-when I went to Nelson Trowbridge’s theater (beg your pardon, the Shuberts, but Mr. Trowbridge Is the manager) In Cincinnati to see her in “Charm.” I told you at the time that thfe woman in ‘'Charm” was giving a blessing to the stage in the characterization of Mrs. Harper. I told you how Mrs. Harper wanted “charm,” and how she got It from Joe Pond and a book. Not the Book of Job, but from Joe and a book. I told you and you wrote me that you were glad that there was such a great moment in the theater as Elizabeth Patterson’ ill “Charm.” That was months ago. I have done my duty. Stuart Walker is presenting Elizabeth Patterson in “Charm” at Keith’s this week. You want me to tell you the truth about the theater. If I failed to give this woman and those with her their printed word of deserved appreciation, I would not deserve my right to talk to you about the theater. Here is the truth as I ste it—“Charm’'' as done by Elizabeth Patterson i3 the high light of the Stuart Walker season at Keith’s. Nothing has approached it from a human experience In great entertainment this season In Indianapolis. Elizabeth Patterson gave the world Mrs. Harper months and months before Indianapolis saw her In that role. This week she Is giving us the most human and the most honest characterization of life that she has ever contributed to the stage, and I am not forgetting her Mrs. Mandelarper of years ago. From the home to the drug store of soda water fame does Mrs. Harper travel. And Miss Patterson sees that she travels that road. “Charm” Is the big moment in a comedy way in the current Walker season. And do not forget that it

-By Walter D. Hickman

is the greatest triumph that Miss Patterson has ever had. 'Yes, I am shouting the praise of Miss Patterson, but I am not forgetting the human and consistent work of Harry Ellerbe. This lad has grown in a person of a heart throb. He no longer overacts or acts like a lamp post. He is understanding life. This week Ellerbe is never out of character. He is the genuine Joe who manufactures “charm” and finds that he gets only sex appeal. Here Is fine work. The author of “Charm” has given Judith Lowry great lines and this woman of the stage reads new glory and comedy understanding into these lines. Great work. Helen Emert is giving a most dull and unreal idea of Ida May Harper. Miss Emert can not forget that she is acting. Very sad is Miss Emert this week. If she will ever forget that she Is an “actress” then she will be able to act. That is my idea. Aldrich Bowker comes through with one of those honest characterizations which has made him a solid attribute of the stage. Fine comedy human work on the part of Bowker this week. John Storey is well cast as Rudolph Klein, the man who sell the book of “Charm” and who does not give the right change back. There are many others in the cast, but “Charm” gets most of its wonderful charm from Miss Patterson, Bowker, Judith Lowry and Harry Ellerbe, who wins fame In this play. “Charm” remains on view at Keith’s all week. IT IS MILTON BYRON’S SHOW AT ENGLISH’S NOW The fact is that it is Milton Byron by very broad hokum acting is making this city talk about “The Whole Town’s Talking.” Byron makes Chester Binney one of those Main St. hicks, who looks like a relic from the Revolutionary War. Byron with his makeup in the first act and his broad and even overacting of the role does much to make this play a laugh show. To my way of thinking, Byron Is justified In making Roger a hokum character for laughing purposes alone. It is this broad and even wild treatment of a comedy role that gives mrch of the life to a rather ordinary comedy. But a play must be judged by the way it is being presented and because Byron gets the needed comedy results, then Byron is right in using a lot of comedy hokum. The fact is, Byron is walking away with this show. He knows how to get the laughs and he gets them even up to the point of ninety degree hokum and even a dash of burlesque. The second introduction of Adelaide Melnotte, new character woman with the Berkell players, actually strengthens my first Impression of her. Her role this week is vastly different from the one in “Pollyanna.” She brings grace and poise to her work this week and that is necessary and vital to the role she is now playing. She knows how to dress her role and she has plenty of wardrobe. And that is essential to a character woman in stock. She talks plainly and knows how to put “business” into her work. She knows-how to walk and that is a marvelous accomplishment cn the stage now days. This woman will bear watching In the

Stage Verdict LYRIC—The artistry and personality of Sibylla Bowhan makes her the outstanding success on this bill. ENGLISH’S—It is Milton Byron’s show here this week. His broad comedy-hokum work makes a hit out of “The Whole Town’s Talking.” KElTH’S—Elizabeth Patterson in “Charm” is having her greatest triumph. Nothing has equaled her work along comedy lines of life. It is the big week of the Stuart Walker season. Not to be missed.

next few weeks. She has made a glorious start here. Bernice Marsolais as the movie i actress does a striking„and individual piece of work. And her costume. It looks like the merry whirl itself. Nice work. Others in the cast are J. F. Marlow, William V. Hull, Herbert Dobbins, Idabelle Arnold, Robert St. Clair, Larry Sullivan and Dorothy Farley. You will have many good laughs seeing Milton Byron in “The Whole Town’s Talking” at English’s this week. TALENT AND PERSONALITY WINS NEW LYRIC BILL In Sibylla Bowhan, who at one time was one of the Wandas in “Rose Marie,” we find another example of what personality plus talent may accomplish on the stage. She takes for her act the idea of a theatrical booking office. We first find two eccentric male dancers

trying out before a booker. Then in blows Sibylla. She turns on her intimate personality, and when she brings her real talent into play, the result is that Miss Bow han jumps into the commanding position of overshadowing everything on the bill. She does the wellknown fan dance of Wanda from “Rose Marie.” She

<; f

Parish

then has a dramatic fencing number which has class. Her two male dancers are good steppers. For an encore she does a Black Bottom dance and explains that the dance started when a certain colored girl was walking alone through a cemetery at night. This dance conception is a knockout, but Miss Bowhan was a sensation even before doing that dance. Music and dancing of the better class is offered in Passerl’s revue. The singing is much better than one finds in the average revue and the classical toe work of one of the girls is real art. Fid Gordon Is an eccentric violinist. He can play melody when he wants to. It Is his comedy business which makes such a hit with his audiences. Parish and Peru combine dancing, balancing and a little bit of about everything in their act. Failure to pronounce clearlj- words in song cause Weller and Russell to be classed as poor entertainers. Jack Strouse, assisted by a woman, have a black face act built around the bull fight idea in Spain. His act is individual until he sings his two last songs. These two numbers are of the double meaning class and do not have a pleasant taste. That’s my way of thinking of these two numbers. The Hasson troupe, well known here, closes the bill, which includes movies and Lester Huff at the organ. - At the Lyric all week. Other theaters today offer: “The Big Parade,” at the Circle; “We’re All Gamblers,” at the Apollo; “Lost at the Front,” at the Ohio; “The Poor Nut,” at the Indiana; Demp-sey-Sharkey fight movies at the Colonial and “Galloping Thunder” at hte Isis. Does the human hair grow after death? According to the United States public health service and other authorities, there are no authentic records of cases where the hair grew after dsath. The belief appears '*> be based on the fact that the skin shrinks after death ana the subsequent‘change in the face gives the appearance of growth of hair. However, there is a belief on the part of many persons that such growth does occasionally occur.

Why the Weather?

By Charm Fitzhugh Talman Authority a Meteorology

MANUFACTURING COOL WEATHER A reiterated question of some years ago was: If buildings can be artificially heated in winter, why can they not be artificially cooled In summer? This question is now out of date, because the long-desired cooling is an accomplished fact. One of the most familiar achievements of the new art of “air conditioning isthe cooling of theaters. Nearly all of the more pretentious motion picture theaters in our cities are now comfortable in the hottest weather. The air is drawn by means of a great fan through a chamber where hundreds of nozzles spray a cloud of refrigerated water upon It. By passing it through the spray three results are accomplished. Condensation removes the excess of moisture that makes the outdoor air muggy. All dust is removed. Lastly, the air is cooled. The air leaves the spray chamber at a lower temperature than Is desirable in the theater. A certain amount of warm air Is therefore mixed with It by means of automatically controlled dampers. A fan next chaws the air through metal ducts to the top of the theater. Through crafully designed diffusers located at Intervals In the ceiling the cooled aid Is poured gently over the audience. There are no draughts. Lastly, the air Is removed through openings in the floor under the seats. All rights reserved by Science Service, Inc.
