FINE OF $250 TO BE IMPOSED FORSLAYING Former Chinese War Lord Penalized Lightly for Killing Prince. BY MILES W. VAUGH United Pres* Staff Correspondent TOKIO, Sept. 12.—For accidentally killing a young member of the once-powerful house of Manchu, which ruled over China for centuries. Chang Tsung-Chang. deposed v, ar lord of Shantung province, will have to pay a fine of approximately $250 it appeared today as his trial for murder neared its finish at lita. Evidence brought out in the trial indicates that General Chang had killed the young man, a cousin of the fomer boy emperor of China, by accident, as he had claimed. The prosecutor demanded Chang pay a fine of 500 yen, or about $250. Ksien Kai. the dashing young Manchu prince, was found dead frcm a bullet on Aug. 2 near Chang’s magnificent villa at the resort town of Beppu, island of Kiushiu. Chang said the shooting was accidental; that his pistol exploded as he was examining it. The police suspected Chang had killed the young prince over one of Chang's many wives. They were informed the prince hao been a frequent visitor at Chang’s apartments and grown overly fond of one of Chang’s favorite helpmates. General Chang always has been partial to his harem, and according to Shantung inhabitants, easily loses his temper where his wives are involved. Chang, as ruler of Shantung, had as many as sixteen wives, whom he took along on all his war expeditions. traveling in private trains built especially for him in European countries.

What Price This Nation Is Answered by Claude G. Bowers in ‘TragicEra’

BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. While reading Claude G. Bowers’ "The Tragi: Era ' or "The Revolution After Lincoln,” I could not refrain from the very serious thought that the author was answering the question: "What Price This Nation.” Although not a study of the administration of Lincoln, it throws more light upon Lincoln’s character and his grave problems than any book that has ever been written on his life One can not be proud of this revolution whioh followed the course of the bullet which fell Lincoln. As Bowers contends in his preface; "The story of this revolution is one of desperate enterprises, by daring and unscrupulous men, some of whom had genius of a high order. In these no American can take pride. The evil that they did lives after them. They changed the course of history, and whether for ultimate good or bad. is still on the lap of the gods. The story carries lessons that are well worth pondering.” It is my opinion that the word “pondering” is not strong enough. It is an object lesson growing out of the most terrible period in the history of this country. At times when I was reading of the debauchery of state governments in the administration *of Grant, when men of the lowest types pushed themselves Into offices as well as the state treasuries and fostered a movement to place the Negro on an "equal” basis with the Southern whites, I wonder what any Russ’an would think of us on reading this terrible but true account of this country as it was at the close of the Civil war. Bowers has given to the world the truth about Andrew Johnson, his administration and his vindication and he has revealed the awful truth of the weakness of Grant as a President and a faithful expose of the terrible conditions which operated against decent government in his day. It Is Melodrama “The Tragic Era’ is more than history, it really is theater oi the type melodrama because the entire thing reaked with “revl’utionary turmoil, with elemental passions

Claude G. Bowers By writing "The Tragic Era," history of the revolution after Lincoln, Claude G. Bowers has written a masterpiece that is greater than any of the leading authorities on the life of Lincoln.

predominant, and with bloody bones and bloody noses among the fighting factionalists.” To me the striking accomplishment of Bowers in this book of 567 pages, just published by HoughtonMifflin Company, selling for $5, is that he has reproduced painful facts about the treacherous leaders of that period which have been splendidly overlooked by historians who were afraid of the awful truth. And here we have the awful truth of state houses in certain states nearly becoming pig pens, with open bars adjoining the assembly rooms, with black legislators mingling with a few whites and above all the sinister power of crooked politicians who were bleeding the people and misguiding the Negro. When I read the terrible chaos in our own country during this period, I wondered what must have happened in Russia with the fall of

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

the Czar—in that modem day of machine guns, radio, poison gas. tractors, airplanes and the like. To me the most tragic figure of this period was Andrew Johnson, the man who inherited because of his position the troubled duties left unfinished by President Lincoln. I remember when I was in school, many, many years ago, that the history professor passed over the administration of Johnson as “a weak thing.” Bowers gives us the true greatness and vision of this man who faced a contemptible conspiracy of impeachment and who lived long enough to be vindicated. Men. whose names still ring today on the lips of the spellbinders of party leaders as great and true men. are made to kiss the dust of treachery. treason. selfishness, thievery, bribery and about every other crime on the books, including murder, wholesale at that. Bowers is right. It is not a pleasant duty of Bowers to relate the sordid experiences that our nation went through to emerge from this chaotic state. It is not pleasant reading, but Bowers has his authorities, his facts, the words and actions of all leaders, including the false and the true, that contributed to this melodrama of hate and passion. Just a Thought I would not be surprised that some of the descendants who now are basking under the fame of alleged ancestors who figured in this period will blush and in some instances may wish that they could change their names. "The Tragic Era” is an indictment, not partisan, but seemingly just, truthful and full of many lessons. I know that I rebelled at times, but Bowers' logic and his facts caused me to surrender and yield to the awful truth. , I believe that if certain portions of this book were read by speakers, those who desire to be honest, on the Fourth of July and on Decoration day. we would have a better understanding of what price this republic. And at the same time we would be more fit in fighting the selfish problems, the bigotry, the federal and state lobbies and the false paid leaders of today. Here is melodrama. History, yes. Facts, yes. All revealed in such a fascinating and interesting way that it will hold the hot attention of a follower of Elinor Glyn. And that’s going some. It will cause many a reader to adjust his entire conception of this period of American history. # * Indianapolis theaters today offer: Rae Sanv-*’- at the Lyric; "Speedway,” at the Palace; "Words and Music,” at the Apollo; "The Cocoanuts, at the Ohio; "Fast Life,” at the Circle; "Dark Streets,” at the Indiana; “The Merry Whirl,” at the Mutual, and movies at the Colonial.

FLEE FOR LIFE AS FIRES RAGE INjARWEST Vast Areas in Washington and Oregon Have Been Destroyed. Bn United Press PORTLAND. Ore.. Sept. 12. Flames of several forest fires roared over vast areas of Oregon and Washington today, carrying terror and leaving destruction. The worst fire in the Pacific northwest is raging at Triangle lake, western Lake county, Oregon, where every man, woman, child and creature fled before the menacing flames. Recruits are being sent from Spokane to reinforce 350 men fighting the conflagration, which already has spread over 35.000 acres. Another fire burning along a twomile front swept down the Camas valley between Roseburg and Coes Bay today. More than 100 are fighting this blaze. Still another fire was burning on top of the mountain west of Roseburg but has been broughf under control. Fire in green timber near the Freazle Logging Company's works near Skamakawa, Wash., forced the plant to close down. Anew flare-up of the fire in Coleville national forest in Washington, near the Canadian boundary is expected by fire wardens. Smaller fires are reported from scattered parts of the states. DENY ARABJORRORS Jewish Victims of Rioters Not Mutilated. By United Press JERUSALEM. Sept. 12.—Charges of mutilation of Jewish victims of the recent Arab attacks in Palestine today were found to be without foundation by the special commission. appointed by the Biritsh high commissioner, it was announced The commisison, made of three British, three Arab and three Jewish doctors, have exhumed and examined several bodies at Hebron, where the most serious massacre took place, and so far have discovered no signs of mutilation. A mnior outbreak was reported from the suburb of Givath Saul today, where a Jewish stone-crushing plant was partly wrecked by Arab villagers Tuesday night. RAIL COMMISSION HAS NO HIGHWAY POWER Attorney-General James M. Ogden today approved an opinion written by Deputy Joseph Hutchenson holding the public service commission is without jurisdiction over state highways. The result of the decision, asked for by Calvin Mclntosh of the public service commission, is likely to be a request for ruling by the courts. The opinion involved the $86,000 bridge built near Evansville on State Road 66. which the state highway commission has been unable to use because of failure of the public service commission to approve the manner in which the road is to cross some railroad tracks. The tracks belong to the Evansville and Ohio River Electric Railway. The railway company will take the case to court, according to Mclntosh.

Bobbed Hair Is With Us to Stay, Beauticians Say

Men waited a long time to get revenge for Delilah's prank on Samson's wavy locks, but they made a permanent job of it, in the opinion of two of a thousand barbers and beauticians attend ing the sixteenth convention of the Journeymen Barbers and Beauticians' International Union of America at the Athenaeum. Bobbed hair is here to stay, Miss Lilyan Moscowitz, Brooklyn, N. Y„ chairman of the convention cc mmittee of beauty workers, said today. With Mrs. Lina Becker, St. Louis, Miss Moscowitz discussed feminine beauty tendencies in New York and the mid-western city. They are the only female delegates ever to attend a convention of the organization. Eyebrow tweezers still are an essential part of milady's beauty kit and permanet waves will be

endured by those who will ride the crest of the wave in the social swim. But no longer will the "permanent” be a torture, for beauticians have discovered that curling the hair from the ends rather than from the scalp is painless. They ended their seminar with two other conclusions: The fall and winter will end the sun-tan powder craze; and regardless of what they lead to the altar. American gentlemen still hanker for blondes.

CO-ED HOLDUP WITNESS SAYS GIRL NOT SANE Lawyer-Husband Gains Point From Cashier of Bank. By United Press NEW BRAUNFELS. Tex.. Sept. 12. The drama of a young lawyer defending his college sweetheart and wife with the stern dignity of a seasoned barrister brought hundred* of farm people of this little German community to the county court chamber today.

A reversal was obtained on appeal and a second trial ended in failure to obtain a jury.

J. F. Jamison, took tho money from the vault and closed its door on the employe after asking him if there was sufficient air to keep him alive his release.
