Although he flew his plane to the California coast from a point 480 miles off th?

The Indianapolis Times

BY GLADYS CRAIG MENTALLY, men are lazier than women. You can take the word of a woman, who studies women and men and writes about them. And you can take it from an Indianapolis author whose men and women live and breathe on the written page. No two ways about it, men are lazier mortals, mentally, declares Gertrude Atherton in an article in the November Harper’s bazar. Writing of the rise of women in the last twenty years Mrs. Atherton says: "Not only the leaders, but the rank and file, of this most portentous movement of modern times were so excessively active, both mentally and physically, that they made the men appear like plodding carthorses, dazedly striving to keep up with thoroughbreds.” u J n 4 4T don’t know of any man with the brains of a rabbit who doesn’t X agree with Mrs. Atherton,” commented Nicholson with a slight smile. “What she has to say about man’s intellectual inferiority is hardly news. The cave men knew they were inferior to their ladies and met the situation by answering all difficult questions with a swipe of the club. “In the old days of Genesis, when women dutifully remained in the tents when they were not chopping wood, they were doing a whole lot of thinking. The battle for equal rights began right there.” “Now and then some courageous woman of genius would attract considerable attention by breaking loose and letting it be known that her head wasn’t a soup bone. “Among the valiant sisters who started the eman ipation of women was Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. She coaxe Captain Sisera, who was some soldier in his day, into her tent, and, with admirable determination, drove a tent peg through his head. F? was asleep at the time and the episode may be criticised as not wholly ethical.

But he ordered the defendant, Ed Mueller, held to the grand jury under bond of $5,000 on a charge of perjury. “Perjury is a worse crime, in the opinion of this court, than violation of the national prohibition act,” he commented. The Mueller case was brought before the United States court after Mueller’s home, three miles southwest of Delphos, had been raided. RICH CASE' CLOSED Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—The U. S.

Defense attorneys will base their plea on alleged fallacies in the trial record. Supreme Court appeal is predicted, if the motion is overruled. Armitage was sentenced to three months in jail and fined SSOO on charge of offering Claude Achey, grand juror, $2,600 and a city hall job, to vote against indictment of former Mayor John L. Duvall.

“But the men took note of Jael as a mere woman who could play their own game. Then up rose Deborah and sang a song of triumph, calling Jael blessed above women. This proved the falsity of the idea that women don’t stand together. Deborah’s song remains to this day one of the great classics of literature. “We can take a long hop-skip-and-jump down to the American Civil War and find another lady, Mrs. Howe by name, writing the magnificent Battle Hymn of the Republic. Another American woman, by writing Uncle Tom’s Cabin, probably did more than any other individual to make possible Abraham Lincoln’s emancipation of the slaves. a a a 4 4'T'HOUSANDS of businesses everywhere really are carried on by X women, though men get the salary and the credit.

The frantic efforts which politicians in both parties are making to sugar women with a little cheap recognition and use them to build up organizations, while ignoring their right to participate in the more intimate councils of the parties, will not be meekly endured, forever. “Pretty soon women will find out that they hold the balance of power and that in local affairs particularly, they can tip the scale for good government, if they will only stop hanging around party headquarters waiting for some male with high condescension to give them a petty job. a a a 4 4 TT'OR any ten men who might be assembled in Indianapolis as X I representative of the highest intellectual level of the community, I can produce ten women in every way their equals or their superiors. “There is a great passion for contests of all kinds'just now.

Offered to Sell Him Liquor, Prisoner Says—Also Hits Prosecutor. Bii United Press MUNCIE, Ind., Nov. 23.—Federal prohibition agents and Prosecutor Joe Davis, the men behind the investigation of grafting charges preferred against Muncie authorities, were targets today of an attack against their integrity, made by Clayton Dudley, roadhouse proprietor. Dudley made his charges upon being brought before Judge Clarence W. Dearth to be sentenced to two to ten years for aiding an automobile theft gang. Pestered to Buy Liquor Federal prohibition agents “bought gin,J)eer and alcohol in my place and I bought it from them,” Dudley told Judge Dearth. “Those men were always pestering me to buy their stuff.” Dudley asserted he was being “railroaded” to jail by the Federal agents because “I didn’t have enough money to pay out.” “What do you mean?" Davis asked. “If I had enough money, I wouldn’t have been convicted in the first place.” “Do you mean to infer that Judge Dearth got money from Billy Caldwell?” Caldwell was a member of the automobile theft ring from which Dudley bought a stolen automobile. “No, but Caldwell said he gave you a lot of money.” “Liar,” Davis Shouts “You go back and tell Billy Caldwell he’s a liar,” stormed the prosejcutor and turned to Judge Dearth with a demand that Caldwell, whose case was dismissed several weeks ago, be called into court to testify. Dudley said he wanted to be called before the Federal grand jury and Delawafe County grand jury to tell his story. Thorough Inquiry Pledged “The entire situation at Muncie will be investigated thoroughly by t)ie Federal grand jury,” Albert Ward, United States district attorney, said today, commenting on a United Press dispatch relating charges made by Clayton Dudley, Muncie roadhouse proprietor, before Circuit Judge Clarence W. Dearth Tuesday. George L. Winkler, deputy dry administrator, laughed when informed of Dudley’s statement. “I believe the whole thing is a fabrication,” Winkler said. “Charges that dry agents or Joe Davis took money from bootleggers are ridiculous. “Prosecutor Davis employed an undercover man, whom I recommended, to begin the investigation of wholesale liquor traffic in Muncie several months ago. “In order to gain confidence of Muncie bootleggers, this undercover man, who was not a Federal prohibition agent, pretended to be a beer runner, soliciting orders for beer.”

LONG FIGHT IS FACED BY U. S. IN OK CASE Sinclair Contempt Action Is Added to List; Change Aid’s Hearing DateNO LIMIT ON SENTENCE Justice Has Full Power to Punish Millionaire and His Henchman. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Government counsel prepared today to face a full winter of court action, growing from various phases of the Fall-Sinclair Teapot Dome case and subsequent jury-tampering charges. To the series of cases now pending were added today the contempt proceedings against Harry F. Sinclair, millionaire oil magnate; William J. Burns, detective agency head, and four of their associates. Indictments soon in the jurytampering case are expected, adding another to the long series of interrelated cases. Lawyers themselves are confused. Change Hearing Date Hearing on th<? complaint against Sheldon Clark of Chicago, vice president of the Sinclair Refining Company, on a charge of conspiracy to influence the Fall-Sinclair jury, today was continued from next Friday, when scheduled, to Dec. 5, the day when contempt proceedings against him and six others will begin here. The continuance was approved by United States Commissioner Needham Turnage upon motion of Neil Burkinshaw, assistant to United States District Attorney Peyton Gordon. Clark is under SIO,OOO bond, while H Mason Day, another Sinclair lieutenant, is under $25,000 bond on a similar complaint. The contempt trial—to be held before Siddons without a jury—may last several days, it was explained today. The corps of lawyers which will go into court here Dec. 5, coincident with the opening of Congress, to represent the six men cited for contempt, is expected to seek to havq the order set aside on various motions. If they fail, they must show why their clients are not guilty of contempt. The burden of proof rests upon them. No Sentence Limit There is no limit of sentence‘for criminal contempt, that being entirely in the hands of the judge who tries the case. Besides this contempt case, there is separate Clark case, and possibility of another general case growing out of expected indictments, all a result of the jurytampering charges. H. M. Blackmer, fugitive oil magnate, is scheduled to appear here Jan. 6 to show why he should not forfeit SIOO,OOO under the Walsh act for failure to return to this country from abroad to testify in the Teapot Dome case. The new trial in the Teapot Dome case has been set for Jan. 16. That is the winter schedule faced by Government counsel and the host of defense lawyers. It was indicated today that Indictments by the grand jury which investigated the widespreaed surveillance of Fall-Sinclair trial jurymen by Burns detectives will come next week, probably Monday. It was emphasized that institution of contempt proceedings is independent of the indictments. PRISON 30ARD TO HEAR LAWYER’S PAROLE PLEA Hamrick Petition Based on Advanced Age; Remy Urges Release. Indiana State prison parole board members will consider the parole petition of Jesse D. Hamrick, former Indianapolis attorney, Friday. Hamrick is serving a two to fourteen years for arson.

State Fire Marshal Alfred Hogston said he and his arson investigators, who worked for years to get the evidence in the Hamrick fires, would vigorously oppose clemency. Emsley W. Johnson, special grand jury prosecutor, and Michael W. Ryan will represent Hamrick at the hearing. Many letters favoring clemency are before the prison board, including one from Prosecutor William H. Remy. The parole plea will be opposed by E. W. Warner, 2709 N. Meridian St, foreman of the jury that convicted Hamrick. ROTARY HEARS BRITON House of Commons Laliorite Lauds America’s Leadership.
