TIMES REVEALS i SINCLAIR LOAN TO WILL HAYS Sought, Received Fund to Pay Stock Losses When Brokers Crowded. DIDN’T TELL PROBERS Amount Given Him in Liberty Bonds, Part Conti- . nental Company Profits. (Copyright, 1928. Indianapolis Times) WASHINGTON. April 21.—The Senate Teapot Dome investigating committee was in possession today of the knowledge that Will H. Hays, former Republican National chairman of Sullivan, Ind., and New York, had in his possession SIOO,OOO more of Lioerty loan bonds from Harry' F. Sinclair than Hays ever has admitted on the witness stand. Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota, chairman of the committee, gave to The Indianapolis Times and Boyd Gurley, its editor, credit for giving the committee information upon the newly discovered transaction. A committee investigator recently called upon Gurley in Indianapolis, at the latter’s request. Gurley had told Nye that he had valuable information which the committee should have. Trading Company Bonds The bonds, Nye said, wef& transmitted from Sinclair to Hays about the middle of the summer of 1923. Part of them, at least, he said, were bonds of the Continental Trading Company, mushroom organization which had made $3,080,000 profit in a few days in one oil transaction, and then went out of business. Its mysterious history has been the object of investigation by the committee. “So far as we can establish, the bonds were loaned to Hays as a private transaction, during the period of Hays’ losses upon the Stock Exchange, due to trading in Sinclair’s stocks,” Nye said. New Deal Shown “He testified briefly upon the witness stand before us to the fact that he has incurred such losses, and that as a result Sinclair had given him outright $85,000 irwContinental Trading Company bonds, to cover Hays’ contribution of that amount to the G. O. P. fund. “This new SIOO,OOO worth, however, appears to be a transaction apart from that. “The committee has not felt like probing into Hays’ private business. But this new discovery certainly is pertinent, showing as it dees, other transactions between Hays and Sinclair.” Os the between $700,000 and SBOO,000 worth of Continental bonds which Sinclair received as his share of the Continental Trading Company’s profits, the new discovery accounts for approximately $493,000. Money Is Traced Sinclair gave $233,000 to Albert B. Fall, secretary of the interior, from whom he obtained the Teapot Dome oil lease. He gave $75,000 as an outright gift to the Republican national committee at Hays’ solicitation. He loaned the committee SIOO,OOO of the bonds to be used as collateral, later returned to him. Then he gave Hays $85,000 in bonds outright, when it was represented to him that Hays had pledged that amount of his own funds to return to Sinclair the SIOO,OOO bonds which Hays had obtained for the committee's use. The committee has .established, Nye said, that Hays placed the new

Predicts Hoover Victory

Will Irwin, eminent author and magazine writer, in Indianapolis to .catch the drift of the political situation, predicts Herbert C. Hoover will be nominated for president “on an early ballot” at the National Republican convention. Irwin’s recent work, “Herbert Hoover, a Reminiscent Biography,” was the result of a long and intimate acquaintance with the Secretary of Commerce.

SIOO,OOO bonds with Thompson & McKinnon, brokers, to bolster his New York trading account. The $85,000 previously had been placed by J. P. Connery, Hays’ partner and friend, in Hays’ Chicago account, which also was in precarious condition. Solicited Aid for Hays Connery told the committee at its Chicago hearing that he had gone to Sinclair and solicited the latter’s help for Hays, reciting the fact that Hays’ finances were precarious, because of his losses in Sinclair stocks. The story, as the committee has obtained it, is that the brokers, both in Chicago and New York, were pressing Hays’ account for more margins. Hinkle C. Hays, brother of Will, telegraphed the latter i~ New York. Hays was in touch with Sinclair, and, either at the latter’s New York office or at his home at Great Neck, Long Island, solicited the loan. In response to the plea Sinclair turned over to Hays the SIOO,OOO in First Liberty Loan bond, bearing 3Vz per cent interest, which Hays at once rushed to his brokers. “We have established through the serial numbers that part of these bonds at least were Continental bonds,” said Nye. “Further investigation is being made. The commitee had had some intimations of this state of affairs, but Gurley’s information given to our investigator, enabled ti to be put in such shape as to be made public.” Asks $15,000 for Injuries Bn United Prefix BLUFFTON, Ind., April 21.—William Boren’s $15,000 damage suit against the city of Ft.

Lowden for the presidential nomination. The State’s Republican leaders, meeting in convention Friday, reiterated the pledge made in the primary to support Lowden. They selected eleven delegates-at-large, headed by Deneen, and instructed them to vote for the former Governor at Kansas City in June. The Democrats, meeting at the same time, were swept by a great wave of A1 Smith sentiment, voting unanimously to add their strength to the New York Governor’s candidacy. Then, with George Brennan, Chicago boss, selected to head the delegation at the Houston convention, they adopted a semi-wet plank in their platform and adjourned. Lowden, by the convention’s action, was assured of the solid backing of his home State W'ith the possible exception of one delegate —Mayor William Hale Thompson, a bitter political enemy for many years.

Scenes Are Filmed Many Times to Get Intricate Details for Finished Movie

Eight cameras were used by Cecil B. De Millc in filming a big fire scene. De Mille wanted to be sure of getting at least one good shot as it was a scene that could not be retaken.

Weeks Often Spent Making Picture Actually Shown in Few Seconds. This article, the fifth in a series of 12 stories on movie making from the inside, treats of the actual Aiming of a picture. Monday: The Unseen Stars of Filmland. ' BY DAN THOMAS N1 A Service Writer HOLLYWOOD, Calif.. April 21. The picture is under way. After weeks have been spent in preparation. a picture is ready for the actual filming. This takes anywhere from ten days to a year, depending upon the production. However, it is seldom that more than three months is spent on any picture. Many things enter into the length of time required to shoot a film. Some directors work much faster than others. Weather conditions often hold up production for days. Temperamental actors cause delays. Story changes also slow down activities. It is not unusual for a producer or supervisor to decide, after a picture is threequarters filmed, that certain parts of the story should be changed. Those sequences then must be done all over again. Filming Slow Work Filming a picture is slow and painstaking. A scene tiiat is seen on the silver sheet for but thirty seconds may require seven or eight hours to shoot. Before a crank is turned on a camera, every person in the scene must know exactly what he. or she, is going to do. After giving careful instructions to each player, most directors then rehearse the scene once or more before taking it. These rehearsals are exactly like a dress rehearsal for a play. Everything is done just as it is for the picture with the exception of the cameras being idle. When everything is in readiness for the shooting, the director takes his place in a convenient location for giving orders, usually directly under the cameras. At his order the lights are flashed , on. musiciais start to play, players j start doing their bits and camera men commence grinding their ca-1 meras. Actors Told Wliat to Do If a scene is a large one using many people, the director usually gives his orders by means of a loud speaker arrangement so that all can hear. If therb are only a few persons on the set, an ordinary megaphone is sufficient. But regardless of the number of actors working, the director dictates every movement made—even if the scene has been rehearsed. Little is left to the actor except to do as he is told. Some players, of course, require more direction than others. There are some who when told what to do once can go right through the scene without any further orders. Others can't even turn their heads without orders from the director. The thing that would be most surprising to a visitor in a studio would be to hear a director say, “That'* great—let’s do it again,” when a scene is finished. No matter how good a scene may be on its first taking it is always shot a second and usualy a third time. This Is for protection in case of some accident during the developing of the film. Some directors will shoot a scene eght or ten times and then say, “Print the first and third ones.” Starts Algiers-Paris Hop r ' 'IE ‘' BOURGE FIELD. PARIS.

FASCISTS JOIN TO CELEBRATE GITYJIRTHDAY 'Black Shirts’ Jam Streets of Rome to Observe Founding Day. Bit United Press ROME, April 21.—Rome’s streets were filled with the inpouring 'Fascist legionaries from an early hour today. Thousands of “black shirts” from all the provincial centers marched in somber ranks from the station, and made a striking contrast with the blaze of color hanging from every house in the form of the Italian tri-color and the city flag of Rome. Today was a national holiday decreed by Premier Mussolini to celebrate the founding of the imperial city by Romulus and Remus in 733 B. C. so it may fairly be claimed that Italy is today taking part in the recurrence of the oldest holiday in the world. With the festival is merged the old “Labor Day,” which used to be celebrated on May-1, but has been abolished by Premier Mussolini as a separate holiday. As the celebration denoted more the rise of the Fascist labor organizations, the military element, generally so prominent in functions of the kind, was present only in limited part. A review of the garrison of Rome was held, however. Throughout Italy celebrations similar to those held in the capital were carried out. In Milan, Turin, Genoa. Naples, Florence, Venice and Palermo, thousands cf the local “black skirts” were addressed by various officials of the party or Government. In Turin, the great exhibition being held in honor of the fourth centenary of Emanuel Filibert of Savoy and the tenth anniversary of the allied victory was scheduled to be inaugurated by King Victor.
