The Golden Rule Club

YOU are invited by this ( newspaper to join in a -.treat experiment, to safeguard human lif*. Fn the suggestion of a Golden Rule Club for drivers o{ auto-j mobiles, there is an effort to put into this phase of modern life the only law that ocr lias bf*6n 6ffß f* tivr. Xo one deliberately hills another by reckless driving. No one deliberately intends to injure another human being ly speeding or disregard t ,r the. ordinary afeguards of drirdng. Th* traffic pre>blem is ■■exatious Many remedies hast been suggeesied. ttrdinanees h;i'p been parsed and these have failed, hav, with the terror of jail as tin force behind tlom aKo ha'*' fail'd to cheek the growing numlwr of accident . Sending unn to jail dors not bring bark human life to the victim of an an nb nt. Nor d"-s it make a good driver out of a bad or thoughtless one. rt a e IST rr " ?, 'f is ha! ' be ' n J x made through fear. But there has been a law through all the ages that has h en effective wherever it has been tried. In the individual i* has changed hate into kindness and carelessness into consideration. In business, it has made for honesty where fear of jails resulted only in crookedness and -harp practice. Between countries, it has made for friendships where before ;be drawn sword ever menaced with war. tsn it occurred to The Times that it might produce results in the most modern of all p roblems in this country which is dedicated to the universal use of the. automobile. The safety of human life against which congestion and modern conditions are a constant menace depends upon the individuals who drive cars, not. upon policemen and traffic signs. If every driver could be led to the thought that he has an obligation so to drive his ear as* to remove all dangers to others, there would be no need of laws that punish the violator, but do not restore the victim. Ts every driver could be led to that condition of mind where the most, natural thought that comes to him is the question of whether he would wish some other driver to do the things he is doing, then all driving would be safe. a & m TTIB Golden Rule has behind it the authority of ages of experience. It never has failed when tried. It can never fail, because it springs from the very depths of human life. It is the law of civilization as against the brute law of the jungle. if you are appalled, as you must bo. by the terrific toll of human life taken each year by auto traffic why not join this great club, which is dedicated to the preservation of human fe .and which asks nothing more than that you do toAvard others as you would Avish them to do toAvard you?

LOYAL WIFE WILL FIGHT FOR FORTUNE

Builds Up Million-Dollar Business While Mate Is in Prison, Bu United Press NEW YORK., April 25.—A woman who carried on her husband's business when he was sent to prison for slaying a Brooklyn detective, and who managed it so well .that- her profits have amounted to more than $1,000,000, today faced the possibility of losing the results of all her toil. Instead of wilting before the publicity which threw her family affairs into sharp relief when Charles T. Davis shot down Detective Joseph J. Bridgetts on a day in February. 1921, Mrs. Davis turned the disaster which threatened her into a business triumph. In the Brooklyn supreme court next Monday, a hearing will be held on Daws’ petition that control of Davis & Geek, Inc., manufacturers of surgical thread, be returned to him. Sentenced to Prison Since the killing of Bridgetts, Davis has been in various state institutions. At first he was found to be insane, but later was declared sane and tried on a first degree murder charge. H’ was found guilty of manslaughter in the first degree and sentenced to from ten to twenty years in Sing Sing prison. Through it all, Henrietta Davis remained loyal to her husband. She reared his two sons. She cleared any stigma that may have been attached to the firm and. as its president, made it grow and prosper. “I am my husband's most loyal friend and intend to stand by him and care for him.” she said proudly. Frequently Davis would send convict friends to her. asking that, they be given money or employment. Once he sent a forger, a “threetime loser.” with the request that the man be made treasurer of the Davis firm. Fights to Help Him The fact that state: alienists reversed the original decision that Davis was insane will be used by Davis's attorneys in his court battle to retrieve active control of the manufacturing company. Mrs. Davis contends that her husband’s actions throughout the last eight years have indicated that he has not the necessary business acumen to take charge. She does not want to keep the company for herself, she says, but will oppose him for his own best interests and for those of his children.

RICH DOCTOR DISAPPEARS; FEAR MURDER $225,000 Broker Account Dwindles by Means of Mystery Checks. KIDNAPING SUSPECTED Letter Found in Room of Home Carries Threat of Death. Bv United Preen NEW YORK. April 25.—The strange disappearance of Dr. Charles Brancati. an Italian physician who is reputed to have made a fortune in Wall Street after starting life a-s a barber, has furnished New York detectives with their latest mystery. The few clews in the case indicate a possible kidnaping and extortion plot, or perhaps murder. At the time Dr. Brancati dropped from sight, on Nov. 19 last, he had a brokerage account amounting to at least $225,000. Since the physician disapappeared the account practically has been exhausted, the withdrawals havuig been made by checks signed without irregularities. The checks were presented by a man who answered satisfactorily all questions asked by the Italian bank in Mulberry street, where Brancati's funds were deposited. Detectives have admitted that search for this man has been unsuccessful. Threatening Letter Found Added to the strangeness of these occurrences, it was revealed that a visit to the famous old Gouverneur Morris mansion, which Brancati owned, had disclosed a threatening letter, apparently addressed to the physician. “If you do not send me quickly the woman you have in the house. I will come over to your office and cut your throat like a sheep,” the note said. The sinister aspect of that letter was coupled with the report of George Reineisch. caretaker of the house, who said he had found a bullet embedded in a wall of one of Dr. Brancati’s rooms. Sylvester Ryan, assistant, district attorney of the Bronx, has been questioning relatives of Brancati and leans toward the theory that the physician is being held captive in some spot not far from the metropolitan area, and being forced to write letters releasing large sums of money. Farm to Be Searched Since Brancati has been missing, letters purportedly from the physician have been received by friends from Passaic, N. J. Boston, Albany, Montreal and London. Information obtained by Ryan would take him to New Jersey today, he said, for search of a farm about 100 miles from New York, where Ryan thought some traces of the missing man might, be found. While it generally is felt that Brancati still is alive, the theory was expressed also that, after the physician's brokerage account had been depleted, he might have been slain. Brancati was arrested in 1920 on a serious charge involving a 19-year-old girl, but was released.

Extensive Program Laid Out for Year in Report of President, Indiana Bell Telephone Company's 1929 program contemplates an expenditure of more than $5,200,000 tor extensions, additions, and renewals to the plant, President C. H. Rottger announced in. his annual report to stockholders today. The statement was accompanied by the utility's annual report, formally apprising stockholders of gains made in revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 1928. The report, filed some time ago with the public service commission, shows total operating revenues for 1928 of $12,136,334.99. as compared with SI 1.369.233.33 in 1927; operating expenses. $7,574,197.24. a-s compared with 57.054.255.18 in 1927; net nonoperating income. $224,054.69, as compared with $289,905.28 the year previous, and gross income. $3,439.666.44 in 1928. as compared with $3,104,263.00 in 1927. Millions to Be Spent For 1930 to 1933 inclusive, the company expects to spend more than $21,000,000 for extensions and additions. Rottger announced. New buildings at Evansville and in Irvington are included in the current year's program. Conversion of the Irvington office from manual to dial operation will take place in the summer of 1930, the president said. “Our construction program not has kept pace with the increasing use of our service,” the statement said, “but has been developed along lines which will permit of future economical extensions to the plant, and constant improvement in the .service.” Expenditures for new construction in 1928 amounted to $3,850,000. the principal items being land and buildings. $201,000; central office equipment. $681,000; subscribers’ station equipment, $977,000: exchange lines. $1,320,000, and toll lines. $503,000. Dials to Be Installed Conversion of the main office to dial service placed 45 per cent cf local service on the dial plan, the statement, said, continuing. “Our plans contemplate that this conversion program will continue as rapidly as it may become necessary to replace existing manual offices. Manual offices will be replaced as they become inadequate to meet requirements of efficient service or the demands of growth.” The 1929 program includes addition of approximately 3,500 miles of toll circuits and substantial additions to plants at South Bend, Muncie, Marion, Anderson. New Albany. Jeffersonville. Kokomo, and Terre Haute, in addition to Indianapolis. “Taxes assignable to operations during the year amounted to almost

Vincent H.

mil TAKES STAND; FAILS T 9 REMEMBER Evangelist Suffers Lapse of Memory as to 'Deal' With Judge Hardy, SMILES AND DODGES Senate Chamber Is Packed for Trial of Jurist for Misconduct. 1 BV HOMER L. ROBERTS l nltcd Tress taff CorresponcJcfi 4 SACRAMENTO, Cal., April 25. With a smiling I can not remember.” the fiery-haired Aimee Semple McPherson successfully repulsed her prosecution questions in a near-mid-night session of the impeachment trial of Superior Judge Carlos Hardy. The calling of the Angclus Temple evangelist to the witness stand was entirely unexpected, but her testimony was devoid of any definite reference to her mysterious “surf-to-sand" disanprarance in 1926, which eventually brought Judge Hardy before a senate court chareed with misconduct in office. The senate chamber and gallery was packed to capacity with women and men who had listened for several days to the charges of Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman-Seilaff that the evangelist's kidnaping story was a "hoax” to cover up her visit at the Carmel-by-the-Sea cottage of Kenneth G. Ormiston. her radio operator. Assemblyman Walter Little questioned Mrs. McPherson. No Definite Answers Her questioning lasted for five minutes, during which time Assemblyman Little failed to gain one definite answer. Tim assemblyman prosecutor referred directly to the elnree that Judge Hardy had aided Mrs. McPherson during 'lie grand jury investigation otr her kidnaping story. For this aid, the state charges. Mrs. McPherson naid Judge Hardy $2,500. The accused jurist contends he accepted the money as a “love offering.” Little first asked the evangelist if she ever had had conversations with ■Judge Hardy concerning the story of R. A. McKinley, blind Long Beach attorney, who claimed that two of Mrs. McPherson's “kidnapers" had called upon him and offered to tieiiver th“ evangelist for $25,000 ransom. ‘I can not remember,” Mrs. McPherson answered. Witness Can’t Remember “Did Judge Hardy ever tell you that he was going to call upon a newspaperman, Wallace Moore, at Santa Barbara?” the prosecutor asked. Moore was a state’s witness who testified that he had identified Mrs. McPherson as Ormiston's companion in an automobile which he had stopped at Santa Barbara during the evangelist's disappearance. The witness withheld her answer while state and defense counsel argued over the question. She was told to answer. ' Well, someone asked me.” she replied. “Maybe it was Judge Hardy, or maybe it was mother. “But no.” she corrected, “it couldn't have been the judge, because I never saw him after the check—the gift—was given him.” Her assurance left her momentarily as she stumbled over the words “check" and “gift." but she was herself again in a moment despite the buzz of comment which followed the statement. Memory Fails Again Prcsecutor Little then showed the witness her testimonv at the state assembly hearing in Los Angeles in which she testified Judge Hardy had told her he was going to call on her before leading on his vacation. “That was my best recollection afe that time," she said. Then, with a parting “I can nob remember" to Little's last question, the evangelist left the stand. Little apparently was convinced that nothing was to he gained from the witness by further questioning. State and defense then rested their cases, leaving for today only final arguments. Judge Hardy, it was said, will make a brief argument in his own behalf.
