Slender Figures of Modern Bathing Beauties Find New Favor Over Venus

TTENUS DE MILO wouldn’t have a chance in the * Timcs-Indiana bathing beauty contest. Even if she had arms, today’s beauty experts wouldn’t like her.

Some of the girls who come into The Indianapolis Times office to register for the bathing beauty contest fairly vibrate with what might be called “modernistic pulchritude.” There doesn't seem to be a monopoly of that beauty by either the blondes or the brunettes. They both have “it.” And plenty of it, too. All these girls w'ho have registered will compete next Tuesday night at the Indiana ballroom for the title of Miss Indianapolis.

HOOVER WILL CARRY STATE, SAYBACKERS Foellinger Sees Sign of Victory in Heavy Primary Vote. Prediction of a Republican primary vote approximating 500,000 that “will mean a Hoover victory,” was voiced today by Oscar G. Foellinger, Indiana manager for the presidential campaign of Herbert C. Hoover. The Republican primary vote for Governor in 1924 w'as 413,222 and for President, 392,648. “The great number of candidates in the primary this year with the opportunity Hoover’s friends have effectively to protest the political conditions of years just past will result in one of the largest votes ever recorded in a State primary,” Foellinger said. “I would be willing to predict that the vote will be in the neighborhood of 500,000. “This unusually heavy vote will mean a Hoover victory,” Foellinger continued. “Senator Watson always has had a difficult time in showing a respectable total of votes even w'hen victorious. He has seldom run with his own ticket. “In 1926 he defeated his Democratic opponent, Albert Stump, by only 11,383 votes, while his party running mates defeated their opponents by totals ranging from 22,861 to 69,994. “Senator Watson also lost fifty out of the ninety-two counties and seven out of the thirteen congressional districts, although all except three of his Republican congressional running mates were elected. “Stump lost Lake County by 12,464 votes but defeated Watson outside by 1,081, and carried a great many counties which are generally Republican and lost Marion by only 733 votes. Had it not been for the Lake County vote, Watson would have been defeated. “Contrast this with the 1924 election when Coolidge carried the State by 210,797 votes. That shows Watson's weak showing in 1926, and since 1926 the Senator has not gained in political strength. “Stump was not the opponent that Herbert Hoover happens to bo, because of the latter's national prestige as the leading and best qualified candidate. The signs are in the sky. Watson's machine is ready to be junked.”

MILLER DENIES i ANY LINK WITH G.B.P. BONDS Ex-Alien Property Chief Faces Quiz by Senate Dome Committee. By failed Press WASHINGTON, April 17. Thomas Miller, former alien property custodian, told the Senate Teapto Dome Committee today that he knew nothing about the activities of Will Hays, Harry Sinclair and Senator Coleman Dupont in handling bonds of the mysterious Continental Trading Company. Miller denied statements recently made to the committee in a strange telegram signed by a “D. Wilson, New York,” charging Miller with handling Continental bonds being traced by the committee. The telegram said Miller fell out with Dupont when he (Miller) refused to give up some of the bonds. “I know nothing about the bond matters except what I have read in the newspapers,” Miller said. Miller recently was convicted in New York Federal Court of conspiracy to defraud the Government in connection with disposal of patents of the American Metals Company. His sentence of eighteen months was ordered to be served when the Supreme Court last week declined to review the case. The witness said he knew the Republican national committee had borrowed $300,000 from the Empire Trust Company, $75,000 of the bonds given Hayes by Sinclair being used to pay off part of this loan. Miller said Empire Bank officials attempted to get him to deposit alien property funds in the bank as a mark of favor for the loan. $2,000 JEWELS STOLEN Loss of two diamond rings and a diamond brooch, value $2,000, was reported to police by Dr. J.
