SCOTTY AFTER NEW FORTUNE Colorful Character Will Brave Desert Again. flu United Press FLAGSTAFF. Ariz.. Feb. 6. Walter (Death Valley Scott, minus his millions, but as happy as when he started for Paris, today was on his way back to the California deserts, whence his wealth came. Scotty passed through here, smiling and eager to round up his burro pack train and reclaim in raw gold the fortune he lost in Wall Street paper. “Yep, they took me for $8,000,000 this time,” Scotty said, “and I’m going back where I started. “I played the north star with them millions, but my losses don’t amount to more than a chip in the desert wliirlwind.” Scotty started for Paris recently, but when he arrived at Chicago he learned he was broke. Financial embarrassment is no new experience for the man who found wealth in the desert, however, he declared. “I’m just about 54 now,” he drawled, “but when I git on the desert again the years won’t bother me much.”

INDIANAPOLIS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1930

HIGH-POWERED AGENT HIT IN ARSON WAVE Over-Insurance Costly to State, Is Charge of Fire Marshal. HOGSTON OFFERS ‘CURE’ Licensing and Control of Risk Salesmen Asked at Convention. Blaming 95 per cent of Indiana’s arson fire loss on over-insurance, State Fire Marshal Alfred E. Hogsten today urged state licensing and control of fire insurance agents as the remedy. Addressing the thirty-fourth annual convention of the Mutual Insurance Companies Union of Indiana at the Claypool, Hogston asserted : “During the last fiscal year fire loss in Indiana was $8,026,667. If at least 40 per cent of this loss was the work of the incendiarist, then at least $3,210,688 worth of property was destroyed in our state last year by arsonists. “Now if 90 per cent of all arson cases grow out of the desire to collect insurance, then during our state’s last fiscal year there was $2,889,599 worth of property destroyed in Indiana because the owner either wanted to burn it or have it burned so that he might collect the fire insurance. Rich Haul for Criminals “That is a lot of money. Especially a lot of money to be turned over to a bunch of slick criminals for completely destroying that much property. The Indiana public paid the bill, or at least w r hat was paid of it. It wasn’t all paid, for the reason that some of these criminals were caught and, of course, didn’t collect on their insurance policies.” Hogston then pointed out that insurance companies do not pay fire losses, but merely distribute the cost and, in the last analysis, all losses are paid by the public. “Overinsurance is not merely an incentive to commit the crime of arson," he contended. “It is a direct impelling invitation to do it. Agent at Fault “Whenever any property is insured for more than it is worth by some careless agent and out of this comes a fire loss, people as a whole suffer. What can be done about it? “The insurance companies are opposed to overinsurance. All trouble agents are opposed to it. The trouble is with the unscrupulous, careless and high-pressure agents. We have a law that no one can sell securities without a license. There is much more reason for having a license law regulating fire insurance agents." The insurance convention opened with a banquet Wednesday night and will continue through Thursday. J. J. Fitzgerald, Indianapolis, and Tom L. Wheeler, managing editor ; of The Indiana Farmers’ Guide, are other speakers scheduled.

CITY ACHIEVEMENT DISPLAYS ALLURING

Popcorn pops in a furniture store, eggs eye you from an optical shop, iron castings attract you from a coat and suit window, and waffles loudly disseminate their epicurean charms in an electrical firm’s store. Zounds! What is it? A furniture stage curtain? Nothing more than a trip through the downtown sector, where 800 windotvs are displaying Indianapolis products during Achievement week. Alice would have bought a return ticket to Indianapolis from Wonderland if she’d only known the sights she could see in city stores. Walking west on Washington street one sees a peaceful kitchenette scene incased in glass. Hubby is anxious to punch the office timeclock and looks as if he was about to say: “Now enjoy your flapjacks, honey; 111 be home about 6 o’clock.”

“Button up your overcoat—and take good care of yourself ” chant these stage beauties nightly in “Follow Thru,” at English’s this week. That’s in the show, but they put it in practice away from the footlights. Above, left to right Misses Vida Manuel, Lillian Ward, Gloria Glennon, Velma Snyder, Dottie Van Hest, Sherleen Doyle and Louise Gunning, part of “Follow Thru’s” chorus, are shown, coats all buttoned, rehearsing their steps on the roof garden of the Sevorin. A healthful custom, they say. Below—Dottie is pictured as she turned renegade, singing another hit of the show, “I Want to Be Bad.” OVERCOME BY GAS Telephone Operator Aids in Rescue of Girl. Miss Lavonne Campbell, 22, of Lebanon, employed at the home of Ralph Keahey, 4444 Carrolton avenue, was overcome by gas this morning when a flame in the gas stove was extinguished. Miss Campbell left the room for a few minutes and when she returned the kitchen was full of gas. She managed to turn the gas off and open a window and then she tottered to the phone and told the operator that she was overcome by the gas. The telephone operator called city hospital and the ambulance interne administered treatment. STRAY DOG CURB ASKED Club Seeks to Abate Nuisance and Remedy Pound Conditions. A committee of the South Meridian Street Civic Club today started a campaign against the stray dog nuisance. The committee will confer with the board of safety in an effort to bring about more efficient disposal of stray dogs and an early improvement of conditions at the city dog pound.

Next door the curious pedestrian sees how his socks are made, while nearby a butter manufacturer takes you back to Aunt Mary’s chum, with a display of kneaded cream the size of a pumpkin. The occupational therapy department of the Central State hospital places a thought for curled minds with a window showing a miniature house. With legs cocked in ingenue fashion, a model sits astride an ironing board table in another exhibit, informing you that you should “Know Indianapolis Better. Your Opportunity Is Here.” Overalls, face creams, radio cabinets and an outboard speed boat in readiness for riding the surf off the coast of Florida, add their color and practicality as reasons why you should know Indianapolis products better and why you should buy them.

Thinks English Humor Is More International

'f' . M*> /

John Roberts

He is an Englishman and he came 5,000 miles to attend an American university. He doesn’t wear a monocle and he doesn't say “bloomin’ blighter,” and he understands the “so’s your old man” slang of modem American youth. That’s John Roberts, 23, who is attending Butler university. “Your conception of an Englishman, of his lack of humor, is like those of English characters in your books,” Roberts explained between classes in the journalism course he’s taking at the university. “Just change the accent of you Americans and you’d be Englishmen. You seem to think we haven’t any humor, a funny bone, so to speak, but we have, and I believe our humor is more international in its scope than yours,” Roberts asserted. He explained that the English understood the humor of America more easily than Americans that of England, due to the numerous American movies, plays, and books in Great Britain. “You have an idea that all Englishmen drop their ’h’s\ ” he said. “Educated Englishmen don’t.”

YEGGS BALKED IN EFFORT TO BLAST SAFE Frightened by Lights, Gang Flees Before Police Reach Store. RESIDENT GIVES ALARM Thieves Loaded Vault With Explosives; Battered Combination. Fleeing after they carefully had prepared to blast a safe in the R. B. Merschat drug store, 3750 East Michigan street, three yeggmen es- , raped a jx>lice emergency squad by j three minutes early today. Police believe the gang la the same one which Sunday night, ; carted a safe away from an East Washington street drug store and looted it of $2,900 in state auto license fee funds, and which stole a safe at Rushville recently. Lack of discretion on part of a resident across the street from the I drug store caused the yeggmen to become alarmed and escape. Alarms Yeggs After telephoning police headquarters when he saw three young men leave an auto and enter the i drug store, a man living across the i street from the store turned on | lights in his home. Flash of the lights alarmed the | yeggmen, police believe, and they ran from the store, jumped into the i car and fled. I Police Sergeant Richard Houston and a squad made an emergency run to the store. Safe Soaped They reached the store three minutes after the yeggmen fled. Combination of the safe had been battered off, nitroglycerin had been poured in and the opening was “soaped” to direct force of the explosion in the proper direction. Wires had been attached to explode the nitroglycerin and the yeggmen left a battery, with which they had intended to explode the charge, in their flight. The car used, police believe, was one stolen from the 5600 block on College avenue Wednesday night, owned by N. J, Seyffert of 4238 Broadway. The safe contained less than S6O, according to officials of the drug store. Part of the funds were postal substation funds. A large sum had been taken to the central postoffice Wednesday night.
