RENEW BATTLE TO BALK SLASH OF CLARK FUND House Minority Opposes Cut of $750,000 From Memorial Bill. The House committee report slashing $750,000 from the George Rogers Clark memorial bill for a shrine at Vincennes, will be the signal for a vigorous battle by backers of the plan, according to word received here today by William Fortune, commission president. A telegram from D. Frank Culbertson, Vincennes, vice president of the commission, who is in Washington working with the Indiana Representatives for the bill, gave hope that the House will accept the minority committee report. Luce Leads Attack The unfavorable majority report was made by Representative Luce of Massachusetts, chairman; Davenport of New York and Bulwinkle of North Carolina. Representatives Gilbert of Kentucky and Allen of Illinois will file a minority report favoring the original bill. The 150th anniversary of the battle of Vincennes will be celebrated next February. The bill, as passed by the Senate, provided $1,500,000 for the shrine and $250,000 for the historical pageantry to be presented in connection with the celebration. Senate Bill Reduced The committee report reduced the Jhrine appropriation $500,000 and eliminated the pageantry appropriation. It was reported the committee, in its slashes, eliminated decoration of the shrine interior with mural paintings of historic events preceding conquest of the West. President Coolidge, in his last message to Congress, indorsed the I shrine project. Boy Swallows Lead Pencil T’nilcd Pres* WEST ORANGE. N. J„ April 6.

Ex-Soldier Tells Tale of War-Time Passover

British Fighters in Greece Observed Ancient Jewish Festival. BY BEN STERN This is the story of a “Feast of the Passover,” in another year and another clime—a feast sharply in contrast with the happy, bounteous celebrations going on in all Indianapolis orthodox Jewish households today. The story was told the other night by George Graham Green, manager of Rites Jewelry Store, formerly Capt. George Green of His Majesty’s West Yorkshire regiment, to a group of his friends in the Indianapoils Elks Club. Put-put, put-put, viicously barked the chaut-chaut guns over in the foothills of the Greco-Bulgarian border. Those German rapid-fire guns manned by the Bulgarian allies to the Teutonic powers were constantly sniping away. And the unseen attacks irritated the British Tommies. “Pass the word up for the ’leftenant,’ came word, and crawling along under the bushes Lieut. George Graham Green came to a slight dip in the terrain where he found a runner waiting. “Here’s a list of names, sir, you are to take these men and hike down the highway ten kilometers where service trucks will be waiting to take you in to Salonika,” was the message. "I looked over the list and many of the men named were dead or disabled in the guerilla fighting along the Macedonian hillsides,”; Green related. “All of us were puzzled as to our destination. Even the truck drivers 1 didn’t know. “After a few hours’ riding we: rumbled into the town and stopped in front of the building which housed headquarters. Many other officers were there ail at loss as to the reason for being called in. “A few hasty words of greeting j and then the adjutant came out. “ ‘Gentlemen,’ he said, ‘Tonight starts the observance of the feast j of Passover. All of you Jewish officers have been relieved from duty for forty-eight hours starting at midnight. You and the Jewish soldiers in your command are invited to attend the "Sedar” in the synagogue here.’ “A shout went up. We had for- '

gotten that the anniversary of the liberation of the Jews was so near at hand and something welled up in my heart as I thought of the hustling and bustling at home in London as my mother prepared for the feasting that marked the holiday.” . “Just before the time for the ‘Seder’ the troops were lined up. Th.=re were British soldiers. British sailors, French, Italian, Russian and Greek troops, all Jews and numbering 290 officers and a littlo more than 1.000 enlisted men. "We marched into the synagogue and then we stood at attention while the Chief Rabbi of Greece and his retinue came in. “The Greek soldiers and their officers marched up to kiss his hand and then in sonorous Hebrew he greeted us and wished us the ’Peace of God.’ “There we were—soldiers of a half dozen nations, but all joined in the brotherhood of our faith. “It was one of the most awe-in-spiring services I ever attended. Then the Jewish women of Saloniki served us the best that the warridden land could afford—and it tasted good after the tinned bully beef, and not much of that, which we had been receiving. “Later we found out that the dinner had been financed ar.d arranged by the American Jewish War Welfare board.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WIVES’ FAITH KEEPS MATES FROM PRISON Judge Finds Trust Justified; Burglar’s Spouse Feels Differently. Three wives played important roles Thursday when their hus- ! bands appeared before Criminal Judge James A. Collins for sentence. Two of them had faith in their husbands, and stayed with them. The third had none, and refused . to aid him, claiming she is better off without him. The two were given light sentences when Judge Collins found the faith of their wives was not misplaced. The third was sent to the State Farm for a year. George Rushton, 22. living near Belleville, is deaf and dumb. So is his wife. Their 2-year-old child is normal. Both wife and child were in court to aid Rushton when he was called before the judge on a fraudulent check charge. Honeymoon Lasteo It was shown he bought an overcoat at a downtown store and tried to pay for it with a forged check. Detectives caught him before he passed the check. Collins held there was no crime, in that the cheek was net passed. Investigation showed Rushton and wife are ready to go back to their farm and start over, lie was released on his own recognizance. The second wife’s honeymoon of an hour was interrupted by the arrest of her husband. Clifford Roe. 19. of 1218 Polk St., was charged with burglary of the safe of the Bowes Peal Fast Corporation. 226 N. Pine St. Probation officers exhibited some oaintines and pccil drawings lit has made during iris spare time. Roc is an apprentice jewelry engraver, and has talent, the probation officers found. Judge Collins complimented his work. His wife was with him in court, for the first time since the brief honeymoon in February. Roe was sentenced to one day in jail. It was shown his two accomplices got him drunk, and induced him to help in the burglary. The companions. Floyd Strange. 19. of 1227 Beilefontaine St and Walter Flick, 24, of 1226 W. Eighteenth St., were sentenced to three months ar.d six months respectively, pleading guilty. Third Wife Independent The third wife was in the courtroom when her husband was brought before the judge. She told probation workers that she knew ever since last June, when they were married, that her husband was a burglar. She worked at a, good position downtown while he leafed by day about poolrooms, she said. At night he always left their apartment in Irvington for his “business.” She pleaded with him to stop, to no avail. She gave up her job this week, to prepare for the arrival of a baby in a few months. She said she is able to care for the baby, and can get along without the husband. He was charged with robbing seven stores in Irvington. “For the sake of your wife and bay. I’ll not send you to a penal institution.” Judge Collins said, “one year on the farm.” MYERS SARCASM HEARD Gubernatorial Candidate Raps G. O. P. in Princeton Address. /!// Times Special PRINCETON, Ind.. April 6Princeton Democrats were treated to Walter Myers sarcasm Thursday night when the candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor said: “General Dawes shouted ‘Hell and Maria!’ when the snoopers charged the Wilson Administration with graft during the war; and the Republican party afterward made him Vice President. “ ‘Birds of a feather flock together,’ snapped Arthur Robinson. What will they make of him, with or without his birds?”

TERRIBLE PAINS IN BACK, WEAK, SICKLY Kentucky Lady Says She Was Discouraged, But Read What a Change She Describes After Having Taken Cardui. “A few years back, I was very much in neerl of a tonic, ami I took Cardui,'’ says Mrs. Alice Murphy, 1729 Mellwood Ave., Louisville, Ky. "1 was sick and weak, and hardly able to get about. I could not do my work, and was part of the time in bed ami very discouraged. “I had such terrible pains in the small of my back, I could hardly straighten up. 1 suffered so much. “I couldn't eat heartily. 1 was so thin, and my complexion was ‘pasty and yellow. “I had read so much about Cardui, and my aunt had taken it and had been benefited, and so I decided to try it. "At first I didn't notice so much change, but with my second bottle I thought I was getting better. I felt like eating and my back did not ache so much. “I kept on with the Cardui. and by the time 1 had taken the sixth bottle, I was better, stronger, and how much better lam now! My complexion is fine: I weigh 140 pounds, and my health is good. I recommend Cardui to others.’’ Cardui should help you, too. Composed of purely vegetable ingredients; mild, harmless.
