FIGHTS TO KEEP OFFICE IN RUINS OF SKYSCRAPER Doctor's Lofty Place of Business All That Remains of New York Structure. BV HARRY FERGUSON, Vnltcd Pr* Stff Corrpondnt NEW YORK, June 12— Dr. Max Ung*r 'mbs at his office today, rumored to be in a critical condition. One glance a* his office substantiated the rumor. The office was. as the boxing riters would say, a mere shell ot its former seif. Below was the rtfJnbie and roar of stree* -raffi and at • - four walls was the clang and clatter of a wrecking crew. All that remained of a once stately b .tiding was Dr. Unger's office. It, hung in the hreeze like a daffodil. Occasionally the lights would go out and water would refuse to run from the faucets. But there sat Dr. Unger like Horatius at the bridge, repulsing an o' eralled cre w of wreckers with all '•are that doesn't expire until Oct. 1. Makes His Last Stand Some time ago. it was decreed that a skyscraper should replace the b alding in which Dr. Unger is making his last stand. Tenants began moving and on June 5 drills and hammers attacked ihe outer wails of the building. At that time the doctor announced he would not budge. Dr. Unger, it developed, had a lease, and he pulled it from the bottom drawer of his desk as bricks rped earthward outside his winodws and crumbled mortar went slipping down the chutes. The Schulte Real Estate Corporation went ahead with the wrecking, pausing only long enough to file dispossess proceedings against Dr. Unger. The case has not yet been called and. meanwhile, the wrecking crew stands at bay while the physician fingers his stethoscope and enunciates philosophical principles. ‘‘Life." said Dr. Unger, "is so much a routine matter that when one gets hold of something interesting it behooves him to cling to it. Foreman Issues “Bulletin” Sam Lieberman, foreman of the wrecking crew, had no reply immediately available, but later when Dr. Unger went out to lunch. Mr. Lieberman called his colleagues around him and issued the following bulletin: "Dr. Unger has gone out for a breath of air and a bite to eat but he probably will be back. Pulse normal. 'Signed' Samuel Lieberman, foreman." Dr. Harry Unger, a dentist and a brother of the embattled physician. 1 s abandoned the fight and moved across the stree*. He indicated his brother might, do likewise before long, but admitted that an occasional patient still braved the barrage of falling building materials and found his way into the physician's office which now' contains a chair, an operating table and a lease.

June 12.—The story of transportation from Egyptian ox carts to modern trucks is depicted by the army quartermaster corps in a three-day military transportation pageant and exposition beginning at Camp Holabird, near here, today.

A PRIZE NOVEL LIVES UP TO ITS HIGH TITLE —# Three Distinct Plots Make ‘lnconsistent Villains' an Unusual Mystery That Is Hard to Solve. BY W ALTER D. HICKMAN THE trouble with most mystery an ddetective novels is that they were written just to entertain and seem to have no basis for actual ex--1 istence. "The Inconsistent Villains.” by N. A. Temple-Ellis. which won the first prize in the $2,500 Dutton-Methuen detective mystery contest, gives one the impression that the story actually happened. That may be just a fine trick of writing and anew wrinkle in the game, but this idea is carried out in "Note by the Compiler" bearing the name of Temple-Ellis and also "Note by Sir Edmund King. King is the one who tells the story.

In his note, the author, TempleEllis states, "My share in the production of the following pages has been limited to casting the abundant material supplied into a form that should be easily readable. To that extent I accept all responsibility. Regarding subject-matter, I have been at pains to avoid the least variation from the account of the affair as it w*as given to me. even where some additional effect might have easily been obtained thereby." That note gives the reader the idea that we are considering the strange goings-on in "The Inconsistent Villains" as an actual happening. That thought is increased in its effect by Sir Edmund King's note. King assures you in his preliminary statement that "after a great deal of deliberation and consultation with all concerned I have decided to offer to the public this authentic account of a series of recent remarkable events that is still the subject of discussion.” He also states that ‘‘under these circumstances the lady, w'ho is chiefly coi 'erned. has given her consent to the publication of this memoir.” And King gives us another interesting bit of probable authentic background when he states in his note: "My task has been rendered easier by the recent demise of a gentleman who once served in the Indian army, and by the goodnatured permission granted by a prominent member of the Labor party to refer freely to his part in the story.” That Labor reference is a wow since the Labor party is now' actually in control of the British government. The story takes on a heavier aspect because several footnotes in the novel refer to actual events in England. Also the book contains sketch maps that show’ the layout for several of the big scenes of the story. Besides being tremendously w’ell written. "The Inconsistent Villains” is unique is that there are really three definite and distinct plots which eventually merge into one. This is something new’ in detective mystery fiction. I am generally able to solve a detective mystery in fiction, but I did not get wise until I reached page 272 of the 284 pages of the novel. As usual. T refrain from telling the story or giving away the plot. It is my opinion that "The Inconsistent Villains.” which sells for $2 and is published by E. P. Dutton & Cos.. Inc., that here is one prizewinning novel that, lives up to his distinction. Indianapolis theaters today offer: Leavitt and Lockwood at the Lyric; "T Love You" at English's; "Eternal L-ove" at Loew’s Palace; "The Glad Rag Doll" at the Apollo: "Careers" at the Indiana: "The .Jquall" at the Circle, and "The Iron Mask" at the Ohio.

STREET RAILWAY SUED Man Asks 815,000 for Leap From Burning Car. Suit for $15,000 damages was filed in superior court five today by Harvey B. Fleming against the Indianapolis Street Railway Company for injuries he received when he leaped from the burning vestibule of an Illinois street car Sept. 4, 1928. Fleming, the suit alleged, was a passenger on the car going to Uie state fair ground when fire broke out. He leaped from a window, his head striking the pavement. The complaint contends that the car was crowded and that defective wiring caused the fire.

DIRT OF STAGE TIRES PUBLIC, SAYSZIEGFELD Show-Goers Also Weary of Nakedness: Follies May Be Abandoned. Su Unit'd Prrsft NEW YORK. June 12.—F10 Ziegfeld, original glorifier of the American girl, believes "there's too much dirt and nakedness” in present day revues and that the tired business man has grow'n a little more weary than usual in gazing upon nudity in the theater. For those reasons, Ziegfeld said today, he intends to abandon production of revues and also may suspend his famous Follies. “The revues of late are nothing more than dramatized dirty stories, which, in pre-prohibition days, found their origin in barrooms. In theatrical parlance we call them ‘blackouts,’” said Ziegfeld today. "That is why I consider it a disgrace to be associated with a revue producer at the present time. "Unless the Follies can be distinguishel from the current conception of the revue, I shall abandon them as I have the revue.” The next, and possibly the last,

Follies will be played only in New York and will be “put in the can. It is the producer’s intention of taking a movietone of his final Follies to allow those cities throughout the country which never have had an opportunity to see the actual show to see what it is like.

"I do not believe in teauty contests because the contestants are not representative of the typical American girl," Ziegfeld said. "Such contests do their greatest harm in misleading the girls that are chosen for their beauty. | "The poor girl is exploited, and

when she finally realizes she is “not so handsome, she experiences a terrible come-down which often causes her to lose all perspective in life. "Beauty contests are the greatest detriment to the youth and beauty in America."
