Actor Greeted Too Joyfully; Gets Trampled Hu United Press VIENNA, March 11.—Emil Jannings was laid up here today after inadvertently starring in an impromptu mob scene at the railway station on his arrival Monday night —a scene without a director and little to the liking of the famous German actor. A crowd of his admirers met him at the station. They hoisted him on to their shoulders and sought to carry him above the shouting throng to a motor car outside. But Jannings, a heavy man, was too much for them, and they gave way under his weight. He fell to the pavement, and was badly trampled before he succeeded in fighting his way to the automobile, hatless, minus his collar, necktie and coat buttons. Jannings was scheduled to appear in a play at the Volks theater, but he was not expected to recover fully for at least five days. WET STAND ASSAILED W. C. T. U.

‘BOY PRECIOUS LINK OF HOME,' SAYS HOOVER Lauds Scout Movement as Medium for Return to Primitive. CIVILIZATION ‘MENACE’ Adolescence Needs Escape From Mechanized Life, Asserts President. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent "■WASHINGTON, March 11 President Hoover believes the American boy, whom he whimsically described as the ‘ incarnation of destruction,” should aud training in the responsibilities of citizenship to his traditional education in the three R’s. Seriously, the President termed the American boy "the most precious possession of the American home” in an address delivered here Monday night to a gathering of Boy Scout leaders. Mr. Hoover stepped for the moment out of the role of President and spoke as a father. His speech, obviously drawn from recollections of his own boyhood and that of his two grown sons, pictured the boy as a "primitive animal,” a lover of stream and camp-fire, but menaced now by the confining influences of a mechanical civilization. Praises Movement The Boy Scout movement, opening the "portals of adventure" to the restricted city youngster, was praised by the President. "Together with his sister,” Mr. Hoover said, "the boy is the most precious possession oi the American home. I sometimes think that one oi the sad things of life is that they will gr° w UP“The Declaration oi Independence calls special attention to him and his sister in the reference to the inalienable rights of liberty and pursuit oi happiness. At least in the practical workings oi the republic, we find it easier to realize those rights for boys than we do for the grown-up tax-paying citizen. “As civilization Becomes more complex, and as the number oi human beings per acre increases, as we live more and more hi towns and cities than in the countryside, and as the necessity of submitting to all forms oi mchanical device carries us further and further from the simpler and more primitive forms of life, we are unconsciously decreasing liberty for boys and diminishing the opportunities for pursuit of happhiess. because the boy is a primitive animal and takes to primitive life. Life of Discovery “His true life should be one of discovery, adventure and great undertakings not to be found in either the squalor of the tenement house or the drawing room of palatial apartment." The Bey Scout movement, the President added, is supplying boys with an opportunity to taste the joys of outdoor life. It is reviving for him the lore of frontier-camp-fire, birds, fish, stream, trees and stars, he said. Through organization, he pointed out, boys learn discipline, unit ol effort, co-operation and the democracy of play and work.” These, he said, are the foundations of life, the basis of liberty and happiness and safeguard against "destructive joy” in later life.

Tremendous applause greeted the I declaration of the Rev. Dr. William Bartlett of Chicago that “if it means civil war to uphold prohibition, what better cause is there?” And w'hen the speaker asked, “are you willing to go to war for prohibition?” there was another wave j of applause and enthusiastic shouts j of “Yes, Yes.” The occasion was a meeting of | the Committee of One Thousand in ; charge of plans for a mammoth dry demonstration to be held in May. Dr. Bartlett, a lecturer for the Anti-Saloon League, suggested in his- speech that all bootleggers j either should be summarily deported or confined to a prison colony on some lonely island, similar to the system used by France in punishing its lifers. The speaker also urged Massachusetts ministers to state from their pulpits the names of those selling liquor. Dr. A. Z.

INSULL ROUTED IN FALLS FIGHT Scenic Spot Made Part of Kentucky Park System. Hu United Press FRANKFORT. Ky., March 11.— Cumberland Falls, a 70-foot cataract in one of the most primitive regions of Kentucky and crux of a legislative battle between Governor Flem D. Sampson, the state legislature, former Senator T. Coleman Du Pont of Delaware and the Insull utilities interests of Chicago became part of the state park system today. Following the lead of the Kentucky house of representatives, the state senate passed, over the Governor’s veto, a bill accepting Du Pont’s offer of $230,000 for the falls, with the provision that it be included i nthe park system. The Insull interests, supported by Governor Sampson, had been seeking the cataract as the site for a huge generating plant. The senate also passed a measure giving the state park commission right of eminent domain over the falls, thus preventing outside encroachment. The falls Is a part of the Cumberland river and is situated in the center of a region owned by the Insull interests. It has been the center of political and legislative fights for several years.

Board of Safety Has No Money to Erect Signs at Intersections. Lives and property of Indianapolis motorists are periled by inadequate marking of through streets, while the board, of safety, allowing loading zone fees to go uncollected, scrambles to find some $5,000 for stop signs. This was the situation confronting city officials today as they saw two more serious accidents chalked up to an absence of stop signs to warn out-of-town motorists of through-street traffic. The safety board, under Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan's administration, in office two months, has found no means of financing the purchase of signs which the Slack board should have erected many months ago. Because the Slack safety board and the purchasing agent failed to buy signs to mark through streets designed by city council in December, 1928, the $5,000 provided for that purpose reverted to the general fund, Jan. 1, and so is not available. Wrangle Halted Action City council and Slack administration officials in 1929 wrangled over type and material of the signs. In December, 1929, the safety board recommended purchase of a particular sign, but Joel A. Baker, then purchasing agent, refused to buy from the source recommended by councilmen. “We are aware there is grave need for these signs, and for a month we’ve been doing all we can about it,” said Charles R. Myers, present safety board president. “Council can not appropriate the needed money, for there’s a deficit in the general fund, the city having only about $65,000 right now with which to pay some SIOO,OOO bills. “Painting on the pavement won’t do, for the paint woft’t dry this time of year. We’ve asked the legal department for a way out of the tangle. It may be possible to get a transfer of money from some other fund.”

Thousands of dollars would have gone into city coffers had the safety board compelled payment of leading zone fees as required by the traffic code, it was disclosed when the laxity was brought to light by Albert F. Meurer, former city councilman. Meurer refused to pay a $2 fine for parking in a loading zone. He was arrested, released on his own recognizance, and will be tried April 3, when the issues will be argued at length. Would Equal Needs Officials point out that collection of the fees would not have relieved the stop-sign deficiency except by reappropriation. The fees would go into the general fund as collected. But broadly, the loading zone fees would have equaled or exceeded the amount needed to buy the stop signs. Three women were injured in two auto crashes the last week-end at New York and La Salle streets, where there are no warning signs. Out-of-town cars figured in both collisions, the visitors having no hint that New York street Is a stop street.

to have entered the engine house on a day off and engaged Lieutenant Walter Giesendanner in two scuffles. “We’ll try to help you maintain discipline if you will aid us,” Dailey told Chief Vosheil. “Find out who tried to fix things for Snyder.” Giesendanner testified before the board that he thought Snyder had been drinking previous to the fights. Snyder denied th? lieutenant’s statement. The board took the case under advisement.

PINCKQT ENTRY AS CANDIDATE BATTLESIGNAL Candidate for Governor to Face Opposition of Vare, Grundy. DRY STAND EXPECTED Public Utility Monopolies Opposition Is to Be Platform Plank. Bu Scripps-Howard Xcwspaver Alliance PHILADELPHIA. March 11.—Another battle royal for Republican control of Pennsylvania became certain today following formal announcement by Gifford Pinchot, United States forester under President Roosevelt and Governor of Pennsylvania from 1922 to 1926, that he would be a candidate for Governor in the May primary. William S. Vare today withdrew as a senate candidate and pledged his support to the anti-Grundy-Mellon ticket, to be headed by Francis Sliunk Brown for Governor and James J. Davis for senator.

Vare’s formal announcement of his withdrawal, due to failing health, was made as he departed for his winter home in St. Lucie, Fir. Although Pinchot said he prooabiy would not have his platform completed for a week, his forceful statement to newspaper men revealed clearly its principal planks will he opposition to public utility monopolies and abolishment of the Pennsylvania public service commission. It is a foregone conclusion also that he will not straddle the wet and dry issue, but come out squarely for prohibition, “I am a candidate for Governor in the coming Republican primary. I want to help break the stranglehold of electric, gas, water, trolley, bus, and other monopolies on the cast of living and government of this state,” Pinchot said. Leaders Worried Pinchot’s entrance into the governorship fight is dramatic in the extreme. At the start he will have to combat almost single-handed two powerful and well-financed political machines, as whatever organization he possessed when Governor has been scattered by the lapse of four years since he was in office. For that reason his decision to run presents one of the greatest examples of sheer courage in the history of Pennsylvania politics. In many respects it will be a parallel of the famous struggle of 1926 which resulted in the long drawn out senate battle finally resulting In denial of a seat to Vare, Philadelphia’s political boss, who was counted out of actual participation in this year’s struggle by Dr. Elwod Kirby on Saturday. Leaders of the two machines obviously were much worried by Pinchot’s announcement. Both factions are wondering from which machine he will take the most votes.

Claim Farm Vote Although the Vare-Brown-Davis forces have been quick to claim they, instead of Pinchot, will have the farm vote it is believed that in the final analysis the rural districts will go strongly for Pinchot. By a strange quirk of fate one of the men who now will be Pinchot’s bitterest foe, Senator Joseph R. Grundy, is credited with turning the 1922 election in favor of the former federal forester, not because Grundy liked Pinchpt, but because he knew that if George Alter, the man Pinchot defeated, obtained the nomination, his power would suffer. So a month before the primary, Grundy withdrew his support from John S. Fisher, the third candidate in 1922, and supported Pinchot to defeat Alter, the Sproul-backed candidate. By another strange set of circumstances, the Mellon and Vare forces at that time were fighting to put over Alter. Refused to Accede But Grundy quickly broke with Pinchot when the latter refused to accede to his demands to dictate cabinet appointments or to take off the 10 per cent differential favoring the state workmen’s insurance fund over private insurance companies. In the three-cornered 1926 senate fight, Vare polled about 585,000 votes to 515,000 by former Senator Pepper and 370,000 by Pinchot Pinchot is relying on the tremendous dissatisfaction among workers in the cities over increased electric and gas rates, higher street car fares and increased bus fares to give him a far larger vote in the approaching primary battle.

SITE FOR MEMORIAL WILL BE CONSIDERED Mayor to Call Meeting to Discuss Tioneer Woman' Monument. An early conference to discuss the proposed monument to the “pioneer woman in Indiana territory,” to be erected on the north approach of the Delaware street bridge was considered today by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Durr Freecley, New York architect, has presented to city officials plans for the memorial. Sullivan said city officials favor the monument, but the “consensus Is that it would impede traffic If located In the center of the thoroughfare.” “There is ample space for such a monument and we hope t.o be able to agree on a site,” Sullivan said.
