BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Start Correspondent TVOLLYWOOD, Cal., April 17. The world’s most widely heralded companionate marriage couple may be seen in motion pictures in the near future. Josephine Haldeman-Julius, the companionate bride, and Aubrey Roselle, her companionate husband, are taking screen tests. In the event their features register favorably, they likely will be seen in the screen version of Judge Ben Lindsay’s ‘Companionate Marriage.” Josephine and Aubrey quit the stage yesterday and took up housekeeping—companionate, she indicated, when she made Aubrey “watch that toast and don’t let it burn.” Josephine and Aubrey discussed their screen ambitions and their mutual dislike for St. S. Millard, film producer, as they prepared breakfast. tt tt a COMPANIONATE arguments it was indicated, end like the more ordinary kind, for it was decided that they must have coffee and it was Aubrey who was elected to put on his coat and run to the corner delicatessen. St. S. Millard has been exploiting “men only” films, featuring Corliss Palmer, the Georgia beauty contest winner, who married Eugene Brewster, magazine magnate. Josephine and Aubrey came here last week at the insistence of Millard, under the belief they were to appear in vaudeville. They refused to continue, after four performances brought out that they were sort of a side show for the “men only” act. “We didn’t like the theater,” the companionate bride said, “and we didn’t like out act. Anyway, the picture was about trial marriage—not companionate marriage.” a tt a “Y Y THEN w T e came here Aubrey VV lived at the Athletic Club and I lived at the Biltmore Hotel, but we decided to get an apartment and take a try at housekeeping. Aubrey’s a big help. He lights the gas and does things like that. “It’s a little different from my home in Kansas City and it J s just a little early, to be sure, but I think we both will like living in an apartment.” Aubrey, having successfully purchased the coffee and preparing to make another trip for the cream, declared “the gist of this whole companionate business is that we go fifty-fifty on everything.” RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR KNOX COAL CO. E. D. Logsdon, President of Firm, Is Named by Court. E. D. Logsdon, president of the Knox Consolidated Coal Company, Monday was named receiver for the firm by Superior Judge Linn D. Hay on petition of Banus E. Neal, stock and bond holder.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Because they were so drunk they didn’t know who was driving the car when it tipped over twice in the 1600 block on Martindale Ave., two couples may have escaped death and serious injury but they didn't escape an opportunity to tell their feat to Municipal court today, police say. When the police emergency answered the accident call they found a badly wrecked Ford. None of the quartet could recall having driven the wrecked machine. Here is how they were scattered hither and yon: Hester Biooks, 57, of 812 Olive St., on the front porch at 1626 Martindale Ave.; Tom Egan, 37, of 716 Pine., in the front yard at the same address, and H. M. Lynch, 28, of 410 E. Twenty-Eighth St., owner of the car, and Estelle Miller. 34, of 706 E. Market St., were huddled between a shed and fence in the back yard.

Eleventh St., was booked for drunk Monday night when he drove his car into the bushes near TwentyFifth St. and Capitol Ave. When police arrived he was trying to drive it the additional twenty-five feet into Fall Creek, they declared.

Man-Carrying Elevators Run Inside Huge Steel Stacks at Power Plant

By Science Scrricc NEW YORK, April 17.—Man-carrying elevators inside 225-foot smokestacks are features of the new million kilowat capacity East River generating station being created from the existing plant. Seven smokestacks will tower above the roof of the power house. They will each be twenty-two feet in diameter, constructed entirely of steel plates riveted together. Heretofore the inside of steel smokestacks have been lined with brick, because moisture, gathering where the plates are riveted together, causes corrosion and destroys them. But the designers of the East River sttion decided that a brick lining was not necessary. Instead, they had the inside of every

DEFIES DEATH EDICT Bread Wagon Driver Thinks ‘Body’ Carried in Car. Although he was threatened with death if he told, Edward Compton, 746 N. Sheffield Ave., bread wagon driver, described to police a large bundle whch looked as if it might be the wrapped-up body of a man which he saw transferred from one automobile to another at Raymond St. and Keystone Ave. early today.

The elevators permit thorough and safe inspection of the insides of the stacks. Each elevator consists of a steel platform running along guides and suspended from a cable over a sheaf at the top of the stack. When not in use, the elevators rest at the bottom of the stacks below the openings in the sides where the smoke enters from the boilers.

LIMITED TRAIN IS HELD UP BY CHiCAGOBANBIT Robber Gets $5,000 Loot, Makes Escape Before Alarm Is Sounded. CHICAGO. April 17.—The Overland Limited, crack Northwestern Railroad passenger train, was held up by one bandit here last night. The bandit, who had boarded the west-bound train at the Terminal, posing as a friend bidding good-by to a passenger, robbed it as it sped through the city and escaped before it passed the city limits. Amount of the loot was uncertain, but railroad officials estimated it between $5,000 and $7,000. The bandit lined up the passengers riding in the observation car, collected their wallets and jewelry, then went into the dining car, railroad detectives said. There he held up the steward, pulled the emergency cord to stop the train, leaped into the darkl ess and escaped. The conductor of the tiain, George Lane, casually observed the robber as the train pulled away from the station, bound for the West coast. As the train gathered speed in its westward course through the city, the stranger sauntered to the observation platform and stood among passengers there. A few minutes later he turned his back and adjusted a white mask over his head. Then he whirled, pointing a revolver. The passengers were lined up inside the car, and he went through their pockets leisurely.
