FRIEND, FOE PA Y TRIBUTE IN DEATH TO DEPOSED R ULER

SPAIN MOURNS AS DE RIVERA LIES ON BIER Throngs Flock to Hotel at Paris to Pay Honor to Ex-Leader. STRAIN ON HEART FATAL Nuns Pray at Deathbed as Preparations Are Made for Burial. BY RALPH E. HEINZEN I.mtrd Preftft Staff Correspondent PARIS, March 17. —Spaniards of every walk of life, many of them sworn enemies of the six-year dictatorship of Miguel Primo De Rivera. today flocked to the little hotel on the left bank of the Seine to pay tribute to the man who died Sunday, six weeks after he laid down his power. The body of former dictator, who died in exn- here, lay on the deathbed of h - apartment. He wore the brown rooes of the Order of Carmelite Monks, to which he subscribed as a layman. This is permitted by Spanish custom.

Nuns Pray at Bedside Two nuns constantly prayed by his bedside, while candles were massed around the bier. The body will be removed at once to .Spain, and burial will be in the family vault at Gerenz, near Seville, in accordance with his request. The exile of De Rivera, whose. Iron hand had upheld the Spanish throne for six years, was brief. Strangely enough, it bore out a prediction he made sadly when he arrived In Paris. "I shall never see my beloved Spain again,” he said, but refused to amplify his statement. Worry Hastened Death De Rivera had suffered severely from influenza in the past week, and his heart was believed weakened by his illness. So completely had he seemed to recover from his Influenza that his personal physician. Dr. Alberta Bandelac de Pariente, planned to take him to a private sanitarium at Frankfurt, Germany, to give him continued treatments for diabetes. His worry over the political strife In Spain following his relinquishment of the power, is believed to have hastened the end. De Rivera came to Paris, a voluntary exile, after surrendering the power he assumed in September, 1923, doing away with constitutional government "to save Spain.”

REPORT MADE ON AIR HELD Drainage System Is Scored by U. S. Expert, Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan today received a written report of the visit of John E. Sommers. United States department of commerce airport expert, who made verbal recommendations to the board of works for development of the municipal airport south of Ben Davis. The report advised erection of the administration-hangar building in the north east section of the field. The city has started work on the $137,000 structure in accordance with the government’s suggestion. Sommers’ report stressed the need for hard-surface runways to handle the “heavy traffic” and urged further study of the drainage plan.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘BLACK MAGIC’ IS EVIDENCE IN MURDER TRIAL Insanity Defense of Indian Woman Held in Killing of Artist’s Wife. BUFFALO, March 17. —Tiny witchcraft tokens from the graves of three Indian warriors in the Seneca reservation may play the decisive role in the trial this week of Lila Jimerson, held on murder charges in the killing of Mrs. Clothilde Marchand, wife of Henri Marchand, internationally known artist. Upon a crudely-fashioned paperdoll effigy of the slain woman and two other objects uncovered Sunday in the Indian cemetery will rest the hope of defense attorneys in presenting an insanity case fqr Miss Jimerson, who is accused jointly with Nancy Bowen, another Seneca, of committing the murder. The state contends that Miss Jimerson, who is 35 and the younger of the two, enlisted the aid of the other woman in getting Marchand’s wife “out of the way” because she was in love with the artist. Marchand is held as a material witness. That the two Indian women practiced weird rites in calling on the spirits of dead Indians to destroy Mrs. Marchand will be the contention of defense attorneys, and as evidence they will offer, besides the paper doll effigy, several small bottles of whisky and blackberry biscuits dug from the graves on their visit to the reservation. These, they will contend, were placed there as an offering to the spirits. During an interview with newspaper men, Miss Jimerson claimed that three attempts to kill Mrs. Marchand by “witchcraft” had been made by Mrs. Bowen proir to the actual slaying with a hammer and chloroform-soaked rag. “One night she dug dirt from an Indian’s grave and took it to Buffalo and placed it around Mrs. Marchand’s house. That supposed to release evil spirit to kill her. That’s one way making witchcraft. Another time she grind tobacco leaves and burn them. When it burn, Nancy chant and call on witches in air to kill Mrs. Marchand.”

Success Came Late in Life “For the first time in years I am able to eat the things I like without becoming nauseated, and suffering cutting pains afterward, and lying awake hour after hour unable to sleep,” says Mrs. Marion L. Poenges of 509 Cass St.. Chicago. “Ever since I started taking Acidine I am clear of al lthta. At first I took a dose after each meal. Now I take one at night and another after I get up—my stomach is so sweet I am eating whatever I want, and my nerves are calm, now.” That shows how easy it is for people with a sick, sour stomach to help themselves now. It is usually caused by excessive acidity from failure to digest starchy foods. Acidine liquifies the souring mass, sweetens the stomach, the inflammation is soothed and the tension on the nerves is relieved. Try Acidine. It tastes good and costs so little at any drug store.—Advertisement.

Wrong Time of Month To some women the calendar is a tyrant, with certain days set aside for pain. Such martyrdom is needless! Midol —acting directly on the organs affected—disposes of every bit of pain at such a time. Midol is not a narcotic. It does nothing to interfere with the natural and necessary process, but it eases the organs in five* to seven mintes in even the iqost severe cases. Furthermore, the woman who takes a tiny tablet of Midol in time will experience no suffering at all. For your own sake, investigate Midol and see how reliable and complete is its relief—no matter how hard a time you’ve always had.
