THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘MAD DANCERS' SPARED JOURNEY TO COURTROOM Judge Upholds Motion to Quash Subpenas for Contestants. “Mad Marathon” contestants were spared a wintry excursion from their Cadle tabernacle dance floor to superior court room three this morning when Judge William O. Dunlavy upheld an agreed motion of attorneys quashing the subpenas for their appearance. Bereft of the publicity expected of the excursion, Richard Edwards, marathon promition manager, found solace in dismissal of one of two suits brought against him in Dunlavy’s court by Mrs. Mildred J. Edwards, divorced wife of the promoter. After hearing that Edwards never had contracted for the support of his two children. Judge Dunlavy upheld the demurrer filed by his attorneys in Mrs. Edwards’ suit for $2,500 in delinquent support money. The court dissolved the order recently granted Mrs. Edwards’ attorney, T. Ernest Maholm, attaching slls gate receipts of the marathon and the promoter’s automobile. Charged With Desertion A more serious charge has been preferred against Edwards in an affidavit filed in criminal court last week by Prosecutor Judson L. Stark, charging him with child desertion. Edwards is charged with failing to support his two children since he was divorced from Mrs. Edwards three years ago in Indianapolis. By way of increasing Edwards’ legal complications Mrs. Edwards has filed a second suit naming “another woman” as the alienator of Edwards’ affection. The ex-wife asks $5,000 heart balm from the woman, with whom Edwards is named a party defendant. Police did everything except “flag pole sitting” at the Mad marathon at Cadle tabernacle Tuesday night, the city’s blue coats adding some events not on the program to the the evening. Handbag Disappears Not abiding by rules, which provide only for indoor events, police did a motor car marathon through downtown streets, finally arresting Henry Ballinger, 23, Columbus, 0., discharged employe of the marathon management, on vagrancy charges. A handbag, which disappeared from the tabernacle, was not found in his possession and a cab driver, whom he had engaged, and who feared a holdup, told police Ballinger had not attempted to rob him. Police Sergeant Williams Fields and his squad one-stepped into the

Tribe of Savages Who Never Lie Down Found

B v United Press PEIPING, March 26.—Phil Scott and some other heavyweights may be interested to learn there is a tribe of men in Manchuria who never lie down. The correspondent of a Chinese newspaper here says he has visited the tribe, at great danger to himself, since the tribe is known to have killed inquisitive travelers. They never lie down because they are always in fear of attack. They sleep with their legs crossed, sitting like Buddha.

Every man for himself . . . and so wild they can outrun foxes and wolves Other characteristics described by the correspondent are these; So primitive they have no social organization, government, chiefs or elders. Each man for himself. So wild they can outrun foxes and wolves, and never hesitate to take on Manchurian tigers in catch-as-catch-can bouts. So low in culture they can’t build homes, and lives in caves. They speak in low tones “like the twitter of birds,” but have no written They wear animal skins In winter and less than Gungha Dins in summer. „ They can use bows and arrows, which they get from the Russians, but they can't make any weapons. They are called the Orunchuns, and their home address is Kolombairh, Northern Manchuria.

Warned by their experience, the police did a prep step back into the room. The squad entered the contests again almost immediately when three youths engaged in arguments which threatened to convert the marathon into a fight tournament. Waltzing to the door again, the patient policemen ejected the three. Gliding back into the hall, the squad found two more youths staging a side show of their own, one with bleeding nose and both with flying fists. Doing a black bottom into the melee, the squad emerged victor! us, and withdrew from the contest with Charles Wallace, 29, of 915 East Merrill street, and Robert Phillips, 28, of 1514 Union street, as pris-
