HOLMES ASKS MAYOR’S PAY; TURNEDDOWN Slack Also May Find His Salary Held Back, as Mixup Result. TREASURER IN DOUBT Robinson in Quandary on Honoring Signature on City Pay Roll. Ira M. Holmes today tried, unsuccessfully, to collect $1,875 of the salary of the Indianapolis mayor. At the same time attorneys for L. Ert Slack, who holds the mayor’s title, and County Treasurer Clyde E. Robinson were holding conferences, the result of which may be that Slack may not get the salary, for the time being, either. Holmes, rapidly following up filing Os his quo warranto suit claiming the mayor’s office, against Slack and Joseph L. Hogue, and the attempt of city council by resolution to rescind its Nov. 8 election of Slack, asked Robinson for the mayor’s pay since Oct. 27. Office Again in Doubt Robinson promptly refused. The council’s action of Monday afternoon raised doubt in the mind of the treasury again as to just who is mayor. This is the third time such a situation has arisen. Robinson consulted his attorney, Clarence W. Means. Means and City Attorney Edward H. Knight conferred. Knight contends that Robinson is required to recognize Slack as mayor, because of a mandate issued by Superior Judge Joseph M. Milner, Jan. 4, directing Robinson to pay on all claims presented with the signature of Sterling R. Holt, Slack’s city controller, both then and in the future. Robinson was not convinced entirely that he was safe under this and discussed the advisability of asking Judge Milner to modify the ruling to exempt him from paying the mayor’s salary voucher to Slack until no cloud remains upon the title. Pay Rolls Nearly Due Meanwhile, a city pay roll of $125,000 and a school pay roll of $386,000 come due Wednesday. The officials were attempting to settle the question before then. Prompt action by the board of public safety Monday afternoon blocked the move of Republican city councilmen to seize the office from Slack, Democrat, it was disclosed. The board, informed that the councilmen planned to declare Holmes, Republican, elected mayor, after adopting a resolution rescinding their Oct. 27 declaration of vacancy in the mayor’s office, rushed a poiice guard to the mayor’s office. Councilmen were holding a caucus at city hall when the first policeman arrived. Before the meeting was over a strong guard was on duty in the mayor’s office. Arrange Police Guard The board of safety, apprised of the council’s move, had met hastily in the mayor’s office with Police Chief Claude M. Worley and arranged the guard. Meanwhile, Slack took no cognizance of the council’s action. The police guard was kept at the door of the office all night and was continued today. The council, apparently deviating from the plan of which the board of safety was informed, merely adopted the resolution rescinding its Oct. 27 action. This, it is understood, was for the purpose of making things easier for Holmes in his quo warranto suit.

Holmes Asks Quick Action Holmes, still contending that his several moves to get the mayor’s office are merely for the purpose of clearing the record so someone may have the office without a clouded title, said he would ask Slack and Hogue today to waive the ten-day answer period so the quo warranto action could be heard immediately. Slack was not expected to agree. Holmes said he did not Intend to seek a restraining order or make any other move for immediate possession of the mayor’s office. This left the situation as it was before the council met. Council President Otis E. Bartholomew issued the call for the special meeting Monday morning, after he repeatedly had refused to do so. He learned that the other five Republican councilmen had threatened to call the meeting over his head. The usual parliamentary tangles developed at the session, which began at 1:30 in the afternoon and lasted two hours. The councilmen who engineered the move were in touch with Robert F. McNay, former Klan titan. McNay was at the meeting.

A check-up to determine if a number of persons are obtaining licenses to practice medicine from county clerks over the State without first obtaining a certificate from the State board of medical registration and examination, was urged today by Attorney General Arthur L.

Williams said to have obtained licenses to practice from county clerks of Du Bois, Vanderburgh and Knox Counties without appearing before the State board was referred to Gilliom by Dr. E. M. Shanklin of Hammond, head of the State board. Gilliom advised Shanklin that the board had full power to call Williams before it, review the evidence and if they found he had obtained his county licenses by fraud to revoke them and prosecute him. if mi in ~ ‘l'ami !■!■■>■) lalfcdrs

City Lights Turned on ' to Rout Fog The heaviest smog of the winter blanketed the city this morning. The sun blinked through a screen of fog and smoke, mostly smoke, looking like a golden full moon, but failed to do its duty as a light provider. Street cars and autos prowled with lights burning until late in the morning. For the first time In the memory of Indianapolis Power and Light Company officials It was necessary to relight the street lights from 9:10 to 10:15 a. m. The lights ordinarily are turned off at 6:30 a. m., and often are left on overtime, but never in the past has it been necessary to relight the lamps, officials said. The company’s pay from the city stope at the regular hour for turning off the current. A light wind caused the smoke to settle over the city, according to the United States Weather Bureau. The wind registered a mile an hour, instead of the average ten miles. It also seemed warmer than the 20 degrees above zero registered at 8 and 9 a. m. It will be somewhat warmer tonight and Wednesday, with a low mark tonight of 20 to 25, the weather experts predicted. There is some chance for snow tonight and Wednesday, they said.

INDIANAPOLIS, TUESDAY, JAN. 31,1928

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Brunettes, science has found, are so far ahead of their blonde sisters in the art of love-making that there Is little room for comparison. The new contribution to science was made possible when six Broadway chorus girls, under the guidance of psychology professors of Columbia University, sat In the front row of a moving picture house last night with elaborate motion recording apparatus attached to their glorified persons and watched John Gilbert make love to Greta Garbo in the films. Three blondes and three brunettes laid their emotions upon the altar of science with complete willingness, while Dr. William M. Marston, lecturer in psychology at America’s largest university, acted as high priest and made charts and graphs to settle the question of lovemaking supremacy. Dr. Marston, with several assisting scientists from the university, brought from his laboratory two instruments—the pneumograph and the sphygmonometer—which could detect flutterings of the heart and

BARE SINCLAIR MYSTERY DEAL OF JILLIONS Details of Strange Shift of Funds to Continental Told Probers. By United Press WASHINGTON,'Jan. 31.—Details of the strange financial deal of oil men whereby $3,000,000 was diverted to the mysterious Continental Trading Company were revealed to the Senate Teapot Dome Committee today. Senator Walsh of Montana showed that the Continental company on Nov. 17, 1921, bought at $1.50 a barren 33,000,000 barrels of oil from the Mexia (Texas) fields on a contract guaranteed by the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Company. That day the Sinclair company bought the same oil from the Continental company at $1.75 per barrel The whole 33,000,000 barrels were not involved, however. Had they been, a profit of $8,000,000 would have resulted. Senator Walsh brought out that after $3,000,000 in profits had been accumulated by the Continental concern, the contract was sold to another party. A.. L. Carlson, treasurer of the Sinclair Company, was unable to explain the transaction. He never had heard of such a deal before, he -said, and he could not say why the board of directors had sanctioned the deaL "The contract was submitted to the board by George Taber, then president of the Company,” Carlson said. Scores Faulty Memory “Do you consider it was fair to your stockholders to buy oil through the Continental at $1.50 per barrel and then sell it to yourselves for $1.75?” Walsh asked. There was no answer. “Your stockholders lost $4,000,000 by the deal, did they not?” “Well, we thought the oil was worth $1.75.” “Yes. but you could have bought the oil at $1.50.” “I don’t remember that we could have bought it for $1.50.” "You know that nobody ever heard of the Continenetal Company before and that it did not have one cent of credit of its own without your, guarantee?” “I don’t know.” “I presume you understand, Mr. Carlson, that the committee feels you are not being entirely frank and that there is more or less suspicion about your faulty memory in this matter,” Walsh interposed. “I am trying to tell you all I know,” Carlson answered. Link Stewart With Deal The committee learned from John D. Clark, president of the Midwest Refining Company of Denver, that Stewart, H. M. Blackmer and James E. O’Neil, missing oil witnesses, were involved In the secret deal to purchase the Mexia (Texas) oil. From the profits Sinclair, oil magnate, is charged with having sent $233,000 to former Secretary of Interior Fall after Fall leased Sinclair the Teapot Dome Naval Oil Reserve. Clark said Blackmer did not act for the Midwest Company in the deal and handled it "entirely personally” without Clark’s knowledge. Clark, however, submitted letters and telegrams from company files showing how Blackmer (Midwest’s chairman), Stewart and O’Neil were angling with A, E. Humphreys of the Mexia fields for the oil.

LONG HISTORY OF HICKMANS READJNCOURT Family Traced From Ozark Wilds to Cities and. Son’s Downfall. INSANE PLEA STRESSED Depositions- Say Mother’s Mind Was Unbalanced; Called Hereditary. BY DAN CAMPBELL United Press Staff Correspondent COURTROOM, LOS ANGELES, Jan. 31.—The trial of the Hickmans of the Ozarks was traced from backwoods farming country into the cities today in the trial of William Edward Hickman. The rugged language of hill land farmers, country doctors and general storekeepers gave way to the more polished discourses of city merchants, physicians and educators, as their depositions were read in the effort to save the slayer of Marion Parker from the gallows. Through depositions of persons who knew Hickman as a boy in Arkansas and later as a high school student in Kansas City, the defense is attempting to prove him insane. The recital pictured Mrs. Hickman as a victim of terryjorary Insanity and the elder Hickman as a man of many affairs with women. Reads Long History Resuming his place on the witness stand, Jerome Walsh, chief defense attorney, read on through the 600 pages of depositions obtained in Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas. It was doubtful at the outset of today’s session whether he would finish the reading of the Hickman family drama before the end of the day. Eventually the trial will lead to the asylum for the insane at Little Rock, Ark., where Mrs. Eva Hickman, the young slayer’s mother, was confined for a time. The defense assigns her mental ailment to hereditary insanity, traceable io her mother, Mrs. Becky Buck. The State will contend that other causes brought on the nervous disorder.

Reveal Suicide Attempts Walsh resumed reading the depositions of Mrs. May Forrester at the point where he was interrupted by adjournment of court late yesterday. Her testimony had to do with suicide attempts by Mrs. Hickman. . The deposition of Spence Lane, a retired contractor of Hartford, Ark., next was offered. The deposition said that Otto Buck, Hickman’s cousin, was “kind of nutty” and at times was subject to fits. Buck was insane and did not have the intelligence of a normal child, according to the depositions of Lane. His deposition said Buck married an “old widow woman’s” daughter, and gave a depressing picture of the love affair of these two. Tells Mother Insane The testimony of Mrs. Marshall Smith of Sugar Creek, Mo., a nurse formerly employed at the asylum at Little Rock, next was read into the records. Mrs. Smith testified that Hickman’s mother was at one time under her care in the asylum and that, in her opinion, Mrs. Hickman was insane. Dr. L. R. Brown, superintendent of the asylum, testified by deposition that Mrs. Hickman was committed to that institution July 27, 1913. The defense esablished through exhibits that Mrs. Hickman had been committed to the asylum by court order. COOLIDGE HOST~TO 13 Eight Democratic, Five Republican Senators at Breakfast.
