CHOICE OF JURY STARTED IN OIL BUBBLE TRIAL Ten Los Angeles Men Are Charged With Wrecking $100,000,000 Concern. I'.y United Pratt LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.—Task of selecting a jury to hear the case of ten Los Angeles business men charged with the wrecking of a $100,000,000 oil company entered the second day today with 12 prospective jurors in the box. The jurors, however, will be subject to questioning by the attorneys for the defendants and few probably will remain in the box. * The trial is the first of the Julian Petroleum cases to be heard here. S. C. Lewis, former president of the oil company, and Jacob Berman, friend and adviser, said to have engineered the pool transactions which caused the collapse of the oil company, were among those to be tried. Stock Ruled Off Market Julian stock was ruled off the market almost nine months ago because of the collapse of the pool ventures. A report of auditors who worked on the Julian books for almost a year will be presented to the jury, it was announced. The audit was said to have shown that 4,973,606 shares of spurious stock were issued, which was responsible for six groups believing they held control of the Julian corporation at the same time. The men are charged with conspiracy to obtain money under false pretenses by the sale of invalid se-

ART INSTITUTE TO HAVE EXHIBITION Forty-Three Canvases of Paintings of Contemporary American Artists Are Now on View in the Galleries of This City. The forty-third annual exhibition of oil paintings of contemporary American artists lias opened at the John Herron Art Institute. Forty-three canvases were received in response to the invitations issued by the Art Association and are hung in the long south gallery, each supplying elements of interest and beauty to a showing of unusual excellence.

There are portraits by Cecilia Beaux, Irving Wiles, Maurice Fromkes, Howard Giles, James Chapin and Gertrude Fiske; figure studies by Oscar Berninghaus, Ettore Caser, W. Herbert Dunton, Bernard Karfiol, Lilian Westcott Hale, Felicie Howell and Frank H. Myers; landscapes with figures by George Biddle, John E. Costigan, George Pearse Ennis and John E. Weis; group portraits by R. Sloan Bredin, Jean Mac Lane and John C. Johansen; still life studies and interiors by Hugh H. Breckenridge. Dines Carlsen, Kathryn Cherry, Mary Gray and Sachia Moldovan; landscapes and marines by Tom P. Barnett, Charles Burchfield, F. S. Carpenter, Gustave Cimiotti, Daniel Garber, Leon Gaspard, J. Jeffrey Grant, Emile A. Gruppe. Harry Leith-Ross, Dixie Selden, W. H. Singer, Jr., W. Lester Stevens, Harry A. TJincent and Frederick Waugh. This is not a complete list but it is worthy of attention since it includes so many names that are conspicuous in the world of art. Oscar Berninghaus of St. Louis and Taos has sent a splendid canvas of Indiana farm life in New Mexico. In the foreground is an Indian, hoe on shoulder and behind him his fields sweep away to the bare mountain slopes that rise against the sky. He is a person who Is fond of bright color for ne wears a pink shirt and green belt and a blanket with gay stripes. Through the fields in the middle distance another of his race drives a team of horses along the deeply furrowed road .Mr. Berninghaus is a master of his craft. His drawing is correct and his finished technique is adequate to the task of perfecting every slight detail of his composition. W. Lester Stevens has a commanding lanuscape, decorative in its suggestion. He has used bold brush strokes ana his pattern is definitely massed and spaced. The level light from the declining sun falls on tall trees sharply outlining their trunks and leafy tops on the cloudbanked sky, and giving to the picture its title, "Late Afternoon.” This canvas ranks with the best in the exhibition. The two family groups by John C. Johansen and Jean Mac Lane are likewise notable performances. Miss Mac Lane’s brilliant technique and the mellow tone and expert harmonizing of many objects and planes and surfaces in Mr. Johansen’s composition are distinguishing features of these two works of art. Miss Susan M. Ketcham is now making he: .esidence in Indianapolis. For many years she lived in the East, where her reputation as a painter of i ndscapes and marines was first established, but she belongs to Indiana and has been most cordially welcomed home. Miss Ketcham is represented in the permanent collection of the Art Association by two paintings in oil and one in pastel. She has recently presented one of her important canvases to the University of Indiana. “The Golden Bird” by Katharine

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Long Meals Ralph Ince has been on a spaghetti diet for the last week while making scenes in the “Sky Limit” case for his latest picture, "Chicago After Midnight,” a melo-drama of Chicago’s gang life. In these crook stories the life of the star is just one spaghetti dinner after another.

Gibson is a volume of ten legends from the great cultural periods of Egypt, Greece, Persia, China and France, that has been received at the Museum. Katharine Gibson was born and grew to womanhood in Indianapolis. % Her mother, Emily Gilbert Gibson, in addition to other educational activities, was at one time a teacher in the Art School. Miss Gibson is now a member of the staff of the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the stories in the book were first prepared by her to tell to children who gathered at the museum. The attractive illustrations are by Edwin G. Sommer and many of them were inspired by material contained in the museum. The book is well planned and delightfully handled. It has received most flattering reviews. a a Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Gay Paree” at English's; “Stepping Along” at the Lyric; Weaver Brothers at Keith’s; “Spring Fever” at the Indiana; "The Gay Retreat” at the Ohio; “Man, Woman and Sin” at the Circle; "Sugar Babies” at the Mutual; “Beau Sabreur” at the Apollo and movies at the Isis. FOOD ADS CLUB TOPIC Chicago Woman Advocates Simple Message to Housewife. “Plain, simple English should be used in describing food products in newspaper advertising,” said Miss Anita Courtney, Chicago, director of food promotion for the Ko-Pa corporation, addressing the Advertising Club at the Spink-Arms Hotel, Thursday. "Housewives,” she said, "are interested in what anew food is for, how it tastes, how it is prepared and always what it costs. High-sounding terms and freak illustrations are unsuited to convey this information.” DOG SHOW PLANS LAID Thousand Entries Sought for Event of Hoosier Kennel Club. Forty Hoosier Kennel Club members discussed plans for the annual dog show here March 27-28 at their January meeting at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday night. The goal is 1,000 dogs this year.
