TARDIEU BACKED BY POINCAIRE IN CABINET CRISIS French Premier Undaunted by War Declaration of Chautemps. BY RALPH F. H FIN ZEN rnH.fi Pr*-w staff Corr*pondent PARIS, Feb. 27.—Refusal of Camille Chautemps to collaborate with Andre Tradieu, and the declaration of war upon Tardieu's government bv the Chautemps Radical-So-cialist group delayed formation of anew cabinet, but failed to dim Tardieu’s optimism today. With the strong backing of former Premier Raymond Poincare. Tardieu was hopeful of completing his ministry by Saturday. if he succeeds, as hp hopes, in reassembling the old Poincare groups, he will have a possible fiftyvote majority in the chamber. Chautemps's refusal to join with Tardieu was flat. Support Promised • What! colaborate with someone who bled me like a chicken?” he said to Rene Besnard, who Tardieu had sent to him with a proposal. ‘ No. no, no!” Tardieu has become the protege of Poincare, who is lending every ounce of his strength to helping the younger man find his requisite majority. Under the elder politician’s Instructions, Tardieu attempted today to Invade the Republican-Socialist group, which includes Aristide Brland and Paul Painleve. He also is making a foray in the ranks of the left radicals, which it almost is certain of splitting. Henry Frank-lin-Bouillon already has promised him the support of his group. Delegation to Return Aristide Briand has assured Tardieu personally of his support and loyalty. Tardieu hopes to publish the personnel of his new cabinet Sunday, and face the chamber of deputies with a demand for a vote of confidence Tuesday. If he is successful, he will send the French naval delegation back to London Wednesday. Under the circumstances, it. Is doubtful if Tardieu will return at once to London, but he will cross the channel as soon as the conference reaches a critical point.

Two More Victories BY TANLAC OVER "RHEUMATISM” AND STOMACH AILMENTS

Only Medicine That Does What It Claims says Nicholas J. Jansen

You folks who have tried medicine after medicine without benefit, take heart. Read this letter of Mr. N. J. Jansen and then let your conscience be your guide. "Before starting Tanlac." said Mr. Jansen, "I was very rundown and suffered terrible agony from pains in every bone In my body My back hurt until I felt it was polling in two. My appetite was very poor and gas would form on my and I would bloat until I thought I would burst. I couldn't sleep and didn't care whether I worked or not. I tried medicine after medicine and none gave me relief until I started taking Tanlac and this is the only medicine that does what it claims. Now I feel fine in every way. Patna no longer trouble me. my appetite is good. I sleep good and get up in the morning feeling like a new person.”

Oil Millionaire Never Was in Jail as Prisoners Understand Word , Asserts Fellow Inmate

UNLIKE OTHER PRISONERS SINCLAIR ESCAPED ALL THIS—

Above is the dormitory at the District of Columbia prison at Washington where Harry F. Sinclair, oil millionaire, spent his first night in jail instead of going to a cell like other incoming prisoners. But Sinclair spent only his first night in the dormitory—Friday’s story will tell about his private room that he soon obtained.

This is the second article in a series of six. "When $50,000,000 Goes to Jail.” written especially for The Times, and NEA Service by a man who was a prisoner in the District of Columbia Jail at the time when Harry F. Sinclair was confined there following his conviction for contempt of the United States senate. BY A FELLOW PRISONER (Copyright, 1930. NEA Service, Inc.) IT was a drizzling night when Harry F. Sinclair’s big limousine finally pulled up in front of the District of Columbia jail. His liveried chauffeur got out and opened the door for him. and another servant handed out his bags.

Neuritis and Stomach Gas Ended For This Lady

You may think because you have been suffering so long and terribly that nothing will help you now, But you cannot red this letter of Mrs. Margaret Wallace without believing that there is hope for you, too. in Tanlac. "All the good thing* I could say about Tanlac would not express my true sentiments. For 13 years I suffered stomach troubles worse than anybody it seems to me. Gasses filled and smothered me causing a pain around the heart and the pain would extend to my back and shoulders and then torn Into neuritis. I suffered awfully. Whatever I ate resulted in heartburn. Tanlac is the only medicine that could cope with such severe troubles as mine. It relieved me fully, my stomach is in best condition in 13 years, no longer earning acid, gases and heartburn."

Sinclair alighted to the tune of dozens of booming flashlights. He seemed a bit confused, stumbling silghtly as he went up the jail steps. The door clanged behind him and Captain Ratherdale led him into Major Peak's office, where they sat and talked for a few minutes. Then they came out. Major Peak nodded jto me. Major Peak is the warden. I led the way toward the dormitory, as I had been instructed. Another prisoner was told to pick up Sinclair’s bags. Sinclair and Cap- ; tain Ratherdale brought up the I rear. We went to the dormitory. | Inside we stopped at a table and I ! pulled out the “jail jacket” or office | file book, and began asking Sinclair j the usual questions. Played Safe He said his name was Harry F. 1 Sinclair and that he was in the oil business. They told me I needn’t i ask him the usual question—"can j you read and write?” —but I played j safe and asked it anyway. Sinclair j grinned and nodded. I led the way to his bed, at the end of the dormitory. He looke around at the other i inmates in their beds. “Do they bother you?” he asked. “No,” I "said, "they stay right in j their beds until morning.” A youthful inmate came up. "Mr. Sinclair,” he said, "I’ve seen your colors flying many a time at the race track, but T never expected to see them here.” “Son,” said Sinclair, "they’re fly- | ing now and you’ll see them flying I again.” Sinclair complained about the I “injustice” of his being put in jail, | and declared that when he got out i he would set aside enough of his j millions to take care of himself and ; his family for life, and then would I spend the rest of it, if necessary, to ' defeat the man he said was responsible for his plight. Slept in Clothes He didn’t undress completely, but went to bed with part of his clothes on. That was the way fifty million dollars got treated when it landed | in jail. It wasn’t tiie way the rest of us | were treated. Sinclair went straight to the dormitory, much more comfortable than the cell where others were confined on arrival. He wasn’t searched, as the rest of us had been. He wasn't compelled i to take off his coat, hat, vest, tie, ; collar and shoes, as the rest of us were. They didn’t remove his shoes I and knock them on the floor to make sure he had no contraband in them. He wasn’t made to take a bath, nor were his clothes examined for vermin, as had happened to the rest of us. Allowed to Keep Money Not a dime was taken from Sinclair. He went to his bunk that night with his hip pocket containing a roll of money so thick that it couldn't go into a side pocket. | Nobody looked to see if he had a ; metal pencil or pen. He wasn’t yet an office man or a trusty, yet he was spending his first night in jail in a freshly-lined bed in the dormitory, instead of on an iron bunk in a cell. He had his tiaveling bags containing toilet articles and anything else he chose to bring with him. All of this news spread all over the jail by the “grapevine.” So nobody in jail was surprised, a day or so later, when Sinclair was assigned to the jail pharmacy. It was quite plain by that time that this $50,000,000 prisoner was to be treated as a separate case. The assignment wasn’t especially unpopular with the prisoners, as they had expected that Sinclair

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

j would wind up in the office eveni tually. The only surprise was that his “reward” came so quickly; because it was the understanding in jail that the office jobs came to men, not only because of their qualifications, but as a reward for good j conduct. In other words they had to be : tried In the regular jail routine I first, and given the soft job only if j found deserring. It didn’t work that way with j Sinclair. He hadn’t been tested Jat all. His word that he “intended to do the right thing” was accepted. Perhaps there was no reason why it shouldn’t have been. But if it was the intention to punish him for some wrongdoing, he was certainly having pretty much his way about the form the punishment should take. The privileges that an office job carries with it are considerable. To an inmate, it just about means the difference between being in jail and j being at liberty. And that is why I say that Harry Sinclair was never really in jail at all—as an ordinary prisoner would understand the word. I might say that I don’t think Sinclair got any more consideration in the way of an assignment than all men ought to get when they are jailed. But the point is that in this particular jail he got it and the rest didn’t. Friday I’ll explain just what I mean by saying that Sinclair was never really in jail at all, from the jailbird’s viewpoint. Next: Sinclair’s Private Room.

Right Idea!

This husky young athlete is the son of Mrs. James McHugh, 810 Woodlawn Ave., Indianapolis, She says: "Michael’s wonderful condition shows my idea is right. "Whenever he’s the least cross or upset, or has a cold, I give him a little California Fig Syrup. It always brightens him up; regulates his stomach and bowels; gives him a hearty appetite. I have used it with all my children, and it has never failed to help them promptly.” All children love the rich, fruity flavor of California Fig Syrup. A pure vegetable product, it doesn’t gripe or sicken. It always acts gently, but thoroughly to cleanse the system of bilious, headachy, constipated children. Doctors say it tones and strengthens weak bowels. Try it with your child. See how bad breath, coated tongue or feverishness disappear! The name California marks the genuine, famous for 50 years. So look for it when buying.—Advertisement.
