Miss Emma D. Braenfigam Tells How Guticura Healed Pimples. “My chin was broken out with small, hard pimples. They gradually grew larger and when one broke another would form. I was thoroughly disgusted. In fact I would not go out among my friends because my lace was disfigured. The trouble lasted two years. Itried different remedies but they all faded. A friend advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment so I purchased some. After two or three weeks I began to notice a change, and in five or six months I was completely healed.” (Signed) Miss Emma D. Braentigam, 3220A Minnesota Ave, St Louis, Mo, June 27,1928. Code or.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CITY COPS TURN ‘MOUNTIES’ BUT LOSE MAN HUNT Snow Trail Ends; Officers Can’t Keep Code of Northland. The weather man today gave Indianapolis cops an opportunity to do a job of Royal Northwest Mounted policing. The local patrolmen did the job In a royal fashion. In only one minor detail did they fail to emulate the much fabled crusaders of the northwest—they did not get their man. It all started in the early hours this morning when Patrolman Tom Kegris heard the crash of falling glass at Twenty-third street and College avenue. Fight Pistol Duel Kegris saw a Negro run from the broken show window of the Kroger grocery at 2254 College avenue. Kegris pursued. He chased the marauder to Thirtieth and McPherson streets, firing his pistol at the fleeing Negro, and dodging bullets his quarry fired at him. Undismayed at being outdistanced, and welcoming the chance the snow blanket had given to follow a trail, he called police headquarters for aid, and an emergency squad of seven members came to the scene. Taking up the trail, they started jauntily on what they believed would be a short chase. Boards Auto On and on it led, through the Colored Orphan’s Home grounds at Twenty-fifth and Baltimore streets, criss-crossing through the Dearborn woods, doubling back through Brookside park, crossing the creek, through back yards and over fences. Hour after hour the police followed a fresh trail, until at last Rural street and Brookside parkway they were forced to acknowledge defeat, the Negro had boarded an automobile and the trail was gone. / BRONZE TABLET HONORS ST. VINCENT’S DOCTORS Physicians Dedicate Memorial to Six Men.

The tablet bore the Inscription, “Dedicated to the memory of the physicians and surgeons of St. Vincent’s hospital who gave of themselves to lessen suffering, to restore health and to save life.” These names were inscribed on the tablet: Dr. Joseph Wilkins Marsee, 18841898; Dr. George L.

FOUR CO-EDS CONFESS ELOPEMENTS ARE HOAX Wanted to Do ‘Something Different’ Wired Parents of ‘Marriages.’ Bu United Press MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 31—Four pretty Miami university co-eds sat ruefully at home today, wondering if they would be allowed to return to school. The “stunt” they did may not be just to their mentors liking, they fear. The four are Agnes McNully, 19; Jane Wood, 18; Jane Bostwick, 18, and a mysterious fourth girl. Miss McNully makes a long story short and put it this way: “We wanted to do things different so we went on a trip. For an excuse to be away, we wired our parents we were all eloping. “There weren’t any men and so I guess we ran out of money and went to a police station and Mrs. Wood came after us. That’s really all we did. We really aren’t married you see.” CONTRACTORS ELECTED Kokomo Man Is Presldeht of State Association. E. L.

GOVERNOR WILL DENY GUILT IN SENATECOURT Oklahoma Executive Will Face His Legislative Accusers Today. BY GAYLORD P. GODWIN United Press Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Jan. 31.—Henry S. Johnston, suspended Governor, will plead not guilty to charges of corruption and incorapetency when he is arraigned before the Oklahoma senate court qf impeachment today. Johnston will appear before the senate and file separate pleadings on each of eight impeachment articles voted against him by the Oklahoma legislature. He hac until Feb. 5 to answer to three other counts, voted Tuesday. Counsel for the accused governor announced that previous plans to offer demurrers to the various charges had been abandoned, because the demurrers might have been construed as admitting the charges. The demurrers would have been based on the contention that the charges were not impeachable offenses. The arraignment was expected to be brief. Senator prosecutors announced that immediately after the pleadings the trial date would be set by the court and the hearing adjourned. Five articles voted against the Governor charged unlawful issuance of deficiency certificates, the hiring of an investigator and an attorney unauthorized by law and paying them out of state funds. Later charges alleged general incompetency and corruption, including the allegation that Johnston allowed his office to be dictated by Mrs. Mamie Hammonds, his confidential secretary.
