GERMANS SEEK WAR FILM BAN Fear Edith Cavell Story to Renew War Hate. BY MAURITZ A. lIALLGREN United Press Special Correspondent WASHINGTON. April 11.—Fearful lest public exhibitions in the United States of the British film “Dawn” will reawaken the anti-German feeling of war days, German diplomatic and consular officials are seeking to prevent the showing of the picture, it was learned today. The film depicts the story of Edith Cavell, British war nurse, executed in Belgium by the Germans on a charge of espionage. The State Department probably will not take action unless the German embassy formally brings the matter to its attention. The embassy, it was said, is reluctant to make a formal protest because it wishes to avoid a public discussion. After four weeks of controversy, English authorities refused to sanction public showings of the unedited film. DEFENDS ‘BLACKLIST' State Man Approves D. A. R.

RICH W
I\’i I iiih il Press GARBER, Mo., April 9.—Mrs. Ada Clodfelter, wealthy widow", is indeed mistress of all she surveys. Garber was in the “dumps” until Mrs. Clodfelter came along and bought the whole town, lock, stock, barrel and everything. Her possessions include 160 acres of ground on which are located the postoflice, railroad station, a general store and a c'lster of houses.
The Indianapolis Times
J. W. Pipes, general manager of the Nelli Beverage Company, bearing out Miss Mildred Coleman’s assertion that the mature business man knows how to tip a hat girl and does.
YOU can tell a New Yorker nearly every time,” said Miss Mildred Coleman, hat girl at the Severin. “Nine out of ten typical NewYorkers give the hat-check girl a stony stare, carry their coats and hats into the case and dump them on a chair at a nearby table. “I’d a lot rather take their wraps, whether I get a tip or not, because the manager thinks I'm falling down if the dining room is all littered up.” An article in Liberty magazine declaring that the average New Yorker spends from SSO to SSOO a year according to his income to retrieve his hat and coat from check rooms, started all this. “So far as the Easterners we see around here that’s just about 900 per cent exaggeration,” said Miss Coleman.
“Now the average Indianapolis business man doesn’t go around tossing handfuls of coins to the hat girl, but he does leave his hat and coat and he does tip. The average is about a dime.” Other hotel hat girls and managers verify this estimate—but with this qualification, it isn’t true of dance and banquet crowds. Banqueters feel that they took care of everything when they bought their ticket and the dances—that’s a whole paragraph— One downtown hotel manager j said he has to increase the pay of, the hat girl to get her to stay the night a banquet or dance is sched- 1 uled. If it’s a collegiate dance, the girls just don’t expect tips. “Dollar for tipsy, but not one dime for tips,” said the hat girl. Panning aside, the hat girls
JUDGES RAP REMY; DENY USURPATION
Wetter and Cameron Deny They Overstep Rights on Felonies. Municipal Court Judges Paul C. Wetter and Clifton R. Cameron today replied to the charge of Prosecutor William H. Remy that municipal judges are overstepping their powers by trying felony cases which .should be handled by the grand jury and criminal court. They denied that they ever had tried cases subject to grand jury action. Both judges declared they never had tried felony cases. Remy made his charge following action of Municipal Judge pro tern, Jacob Steinmetz, in fining Merrill Doyle, 3419 N. Pennsylvania St., SSO on a charge of unlawful possession of an automobile. Steinmetz dismissed vehicle taking and grand larceny charges against the boy. Steinmetz pointed out today that he had tried the youth only on the unlawful possession charge, which is not a felony. Deputy Prosecutor John L. Niblack, however, declared that Doyle should have been bound over to the grand jury on the charge of vehicle taking and larceny charges, which are felonies. Steinmetz had no right to dismiss those charges, he said. Within a few days he will call the person whose car was stolen and police before the grand jury, in an effort to obtain a vehicle taking indictment against the boy,* Niblack said. Judge Paul C. Wetter showed a letter received from Niblack and Remy several months ago as an answer to the intimation that the municipal judges were overstepping their authority. The letter declared that if was the wish of the grand jury and Criminal Judge James A. Collins that the municipal courts assume full jurisdiction in all misdemeanor cases and cases such as fraudulent check charges where the amount involved was less than $25. The letter also recommended that in second degree burglary cases, (a felony charge), where the amount taken was small, the municipal judges dismiss the burglary charge and send the culprit to the Indiana State Farm on petit larceny charges, “thus saving red tape, slow motion and expense of sending him to the grand jury.”

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11,1928
agreed that most Indianapolis men tip regularly and reasonably, that women rarely do, and that the girls manage to get along quite well. Most folks, however, are ignorant of the real purpose of the hotel check room, said J. E. Flynn, assistant manager of the Severin. Hotels have check rooms to protect the belongings of their guests, not just as a place where a pretty girl may make a living oil tips. The hotel assumes responsibility for hats and wraps checked and there is no requirement that a tip be paid—the managers insist cheerful service be given. “About 90 per cent of the people tip grudgingly.” said Flynn, “but prohibit tipping and the same folks go right on doing it and dare you to stop them.”

ADAMS CLAIMS SENATOR AIDED PERJURY PLOT Charges $2,000 Paid Toward Expenses of Attempt to Frame Editors. LINKS COFFIN IN FRAUD Carried Testimony Secured by Bribe to Federal Jury, Assertion. “A Senator’s” contribution of $2,000 to the expense of the attempted “frame-up” of Thomas H. Adams, Vincennes editor, and Boyd Gurley, editor of The Indianapolis limes, on “perjured testimony,” would be revealed by opening the records of the Marion County grand jury, declared Adams, candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, in a campaign speech broadcast from Station WKBF here Tuesday night. Bitterly assailing George V. Coffin. county and city Republican chairman as “the keystone upon which the whole edifice of corruption in Indiana was built,” Adams charged: “Coflin carried perjured testrfnony to the district attorney's office in the Federal Bldg, and urged Ward (Albert Ward, district attorney) to indict the newspaper men. It was was so disgusting that the district attorney hurriedly adjourned the Federal grand j ry.” Charges Evidence Forged “Who paid for all the frame-up of Klinck (Earl Klinck, ‘lieutenant’ of D. C. Stephenson) and Coffin in the six months’ work?” Adams asked. .“Let the Marion County grand jury tell the story of the Senator who contributed $2,000 toward the expense of the frame-up.” Senator James E. Watson was known to have testified before the grand jury in the course of the “frame-up” investigation. Klinck is now awaiting trial in Criminal Court, charged witn having drawn up a false affidavit against Adams and Gurley which, it is alleged, he had William Rogers, auto salesman, sign. The alleged fraudulent affidavit set out that Rogers received instructions and expense money from Adams and Gurley to testify before Senator James A. Reed at St. Louis, that he had seen Senator James E. Watson’s Klan membership card. “The secret and invisible scheme of lawyers and leaders to corrupt evidence for the Federal grand jury,” Adams continued, "was shown in the Klinck case, where Klinck was paid by the invincible hand of the invincible crew thousands of dollars to work up forged and perjured evidence to District Attorney Ward, and did supply said fraudulent papers to go to the grand jury. Instead of indicting the crooked crew in this Federal court, Klick was indicted in the Marion court.” Flays Coffin Regime Adams said Coffin's power was achieved by the aid of Stephenson, who “three years ago declared that he drew this money * $5OO to buy and bribe precinct men to put over Coffin as chairman. “What has the bossism, the corruption of Coffin given to the State?” Adams asked. “It gave us Ed Jackson, free from a prison cell only because of the statute of limitations. “Arthur Robinson still the friend of Coflin. “Schortemeier (Secretary of State Frederick E. Schortemeier), who hopes to tie the followers of Stephenson to votes of the unthinking and put the secretary of Statrf in the Governor’s chair.” Mayor John L. Duvall, six councilmen subsequently indicted, and Congressman Ralph E. Updike were other gifts of the Coffin regime, Adams said. Attacks Jewett and Leslie Adams turned on two rival candidates for the Republican gubernational nomination with the words: “I am asking you to ask Charlie Jewett, respectable candidate, whether he does not have an understanding with Senator Watson which includes the delivery of delegates by Boss Coffin? “I am asking you to ask Harry Leslie to tell you who crackl'd the whip last winter when, he as the speaker of the House and the most powerful Republican member, assisted in stifling an investigation of corruption in this State. "Republicans outside of Indianapolis are anxiously looking (o the Republicans within Marion County for a real house cleaning at the primary May 8. They are hoping and praying that Boss Coffin will be defeated in his program." Reports Theft in Moving While Mrs. Margaret McClury moved from an upstairs to a downstairs apartment at 156 E.

Mrs. Brimberry was accused of writing extortion letters to six business men. However, a jury, before which she stood trial, disagreed Tuesday night. Rather than incur expenses of another trial, attorneys for both sides agreed that if Mrs. Brimberry would withdraw her plea of not guilty to only one of the six offenses the other charges would be quashed. On a plea of guilty to writing an extortion letter to Oscar Lavery, merchant, Mrs. Brimberry received a suspended sentence of one to five years in the Indiana Woman's Prison and was forbidden.to attend Sunday dances.

Girl Says Program Needs Spice, Seasoning Same as Tasty Meal. BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, April 11.—“ Preparing a good radio program is like assembling a good meal,” says Bertha Brainard, who is head chief for the aerial banquets served by the National Broadcasting Company. “You need good ingredients, the best the market affords, and they need to be expertly seasoned and nicely served. You can't attract radio fans with all-classical or alljazz or all-anything programs. You can’t draw business on hash and stew. You have to provide balanced fare, with sustaining food as well as delicacies. And you have to keep jumps ahead of the game.” Though small in stature, Miss Brainard is one of the big women in the radio industry, and though young, she is one of the pioneers. She has been made program director of the National Broadcastl ing Company because of her particular ability to add the garnishes I and the trimmings as well as the ! staple articles of radio fare. She thinks nothing of spending two months on a particular program, planning and shaping it until it finally reaches her standard of excellence. But she never really knows a program “goes over” until she hears it in her own home. “I have a radio in almost every room at home.” she told me, “and there’s usually one going most of the time I am at home. At the studio, where everything is favorable, and everyone is listening intently to a program, one hears it under the best conditions. “But at home I can detect its real value and its flaws. A program should not require too close attention. It should be able, however. to carry over the ordinary routine of home life. “If a program holds the attention while the housewife is frying steak or washing the dishes, it is successful. If it requires too much concentration it is apt to be tiring.” MLss Brainard attributes her success to good hard work—and to a great and absorbing interest in her job. The first time she ever heard a radio, which was some six years ago, she decided that she had found her life w6rk right then and there.

U. 1 CHARGES UNDUE HASTE IH OIL LEASE Government Begins Weaving Evidence to Show Deal in Secrecy. BANKERS ARE ON STAND CALL FOR BLACKMER Foundation Is Laid for New Action to Confiscate His Property. BY HERBERT LITTLE United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 11.—The Government, seeking to support its claim of a sinister deal behind the Teapot Dome oil lease, offered evidence in the Harry F. Siuclair conspiracy trial today, designed to show the lease was unduly rushed through in secret. Before launching on this evidence of waste and secrecy, the Government had called the name of H. M. Blackmer, fugitive oil witness, now in France. He did not answer, and, thereby, the prosecution laid the foundation for anew confiscation action against his property. One already had been undertaken for his past failure to heed subpoenas. U. S. Weaves Its Case Cross-examination of M. T. Everhart, son-in-law of former Secretary of Interior Fall, was not resumed this forenoon. He already had revealed details of the passage of $223,000 from Sinclair to Fall through Everhart as medium. This transaction occurred soon after Fall leased Teapot Dome to Sinclair in 1922. But Everhart has been subpoenaed as a defense witness, and will be asked to go into more details later. The Government started weaving its case around the lease today. It rapidly laid before the jury the story of the lease which was proposed, negotiated and consummated in three months in 1922 by Sinclair and Fall, while oil men other than J Sinclair were kept out in the cold i despite pleas for an opportunity to I bid. Bankers Are Witnesses ! Oil men summoned by the Gov- ! eminent will testify later that Fall | disregarded their requests to bid on the great oil reserve. Owen J. Roberts, prosecution chief, called six witnesses in rapid succession today. These witnesses, bankers from the West, testified that Fall deposited $90,000 of the bonds to his personal credit in their banks. One of the bankers from Carrizozo, N. M„ disclosed that Fall lost more than $7,000 of the money he received from Sinclair in the 1922 failure of the bank. The Government also placed in evidence the fact that Sinclair reorganized the Mammoth Oil Company to operate the Teapot Dome field, more than a month before the lease was signed.
