Perfect Child Goal of Countess

'Mth?

The countess of Carlisle, one of the most noted peeresses of England, pictured above, has announced that she will seek the most perfect child In Great Britain in order that she may try to prove that the modem child approaches, or surpasses, the ancient Greek sculptors’ idea of physical perfection.

, BY MILTON BONNER NEA Service Writer LONDON, April B.—The countess of Carlisle, one of the loveliest peeresses in Great Britain and herself mother of two handsome children, wants to find the most beautiful child in England, And when she finds him or her, she wants to compare the child with the most famous child statues sculptured by the Greek masters. For the countess has a theory she wishes to prove. It always has been held that in their conception of human beings—men, women and children —the ancient Greek masters gave to mankind the noblest and finest specimens of the genus homo ever portrayed by man. The countess believes otherwise. She thinks the actual flesh and

HEARINGS SET IN SEQUEL TO DIVORCE CASE Anderson Millionaire Still Fights Despite $170,000 Alimony Award. ATTORNEYS ASK $7,000 Another Suit Asks Realty, Including $50,000 Home, Be Divided. By Timet Special ANDERSON, Ind., April B.—Two special judges have been selected in Madison circuit court to try suits against Charles E. Miller, millionaire rubber manfacturer. Both suits grew out of the sensational Miller divorce case which was decided in Madison superior court eighteen months ago by Judge Cleon W. Mount, Tipton. Judge Leonidas A. Guthrie, Muncie, was named special judge to preside at trial of a suit brought by the firm of Pence & O’Neill, Anderson attorneys, who are demanding a fee of $7,000 be paid by Miller for their services in the preparation of the evidence and during the two weeks trial of the divorce case. The divorce was granted to Mrs. Miller, defendant in the original case on a cross-complaint. Judge Mount awarded her $170,000 alimony and restored her former name, Ina Eberhardt. Miller appealed to the Indiana appellate court in an effort to have the alimony judgment reduced and lost when the court affirmed the decision of the lower tribunal. The appeal cost Miller $15,000 in interest alone. Attorneys Pence & O’Neal aver In the complaint that Miller appealed the case against their advice. Thereafter, the case was handled by other Anderson attorneys. Miller’s divorced wife is asking a partition of real estate held jointly by the parties in the second suit pending against the rubber manufacturer. Realty involved in the suit includes a $50,000 residence, a business block valued at SIOO,OOO and two lots in the Kinnear-Hiat addition in Indianapolis. The partition suit filed the same day the divorce was granted is being opposed by Miller. John F. Morris, Newcastle, will preside at the hearing as special judge.

Marguerita Sylva, famous “Carmen,” and international opera favorite who left the stage for domesticity, as witness the two children, and who now returns to the entertainment world.

Marguerita Sylva, Famous ‘Carmen,’ Comes Back to Her World. BY GILBERT SWAN NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, April B.—The old timers of the show world are becoming the new-timers of a fast changing amusement universe. Time was when Broadway jotted down a hard-boiled creed to the effect that any one who slipped into the past tense was doomed to quick and certain distinction. But not today! The rise of the mechanical devices, the radio and the talkie, is causing a great demand for those whose experience is suciently sound to direct the army of newcomers daily entering the entertainment field. Reign as Directors Over various program destinies of one of the world’s largest networks sits the wise and experienced Mme. Schumann-Heink, supervising and directing. Out in Hollywod, keeping an eye on scores of manuscripts and supervising many productions, is the inimitable Elsie Janis, who has not been seen upon the stage in half a dozen years. Just “behind these scenes” sit a dozen others. And now comes Marguerita Sylva, internationally famed “Carmen” of yesteryear, the original “Princess Chic,” and prima donna of the Chicago, Paris Opera Comique, Berlin and other famous institutions, with the post of “director moderne.” Advises Many New Comers Which means, getting down to cases, that she is going to direct individuals and groups in all the modern branches of amusement. At the moment she not only has her personal broadcasting arrangement with a Broadway station, but is advising scores of newcomers; the while she supervises anew musical comedy attraction and keeps an eye open for future talking picture possibilities. I Miss Sylva, whose name In private life is Mrs. Frederick Smith, has had a life as varied and quicksilvered as most opera artists. She was brought over by Oscar Hammerstein in the days when he held the place now occupied by the Metropolitan, which bought him out. Marr ed Flying Lieutenant She once had been engaged to marry Du Maurier, son of the author of “Trilby,” but the romance ran upon the rocks. Entering on an operatic career abroad, her “Carmen” became worldfamous and she was imported to America. During the war, while in Paris, she married a lieutenant in the flying corps. They have two children. At the time she had made a considerable fortune, in fact she had ! her own opera company touring the country at one time under the ; management of Kirke La Shelle. i But three times she has seen forI tunes swept from under her. First, I when she left the stage in Paris to : engage in a business enterprise; | again when the F orida tornado of ; a. few yebrs back swept away the ! buildings in which she had investI ed and a third time during the re- \ cent market crash.

Out of Jail Texas Carrie Nation Goes Free; Declares She’ll ‘Carry On.’

PAMPA, Tex., April B.—ls every Pampa housewife will contribute $1.50, Beulah Allred, the “Carrie Nation of the Texas Panhandle,” will buy poison “jake” and bootleg whisky from Pampa's Main street bootleggers, and show it to a grand jury and others. That was the promise of Miss Allred, W. C. T. U. leader and prohibition worker, who Monday was released from jail after charges for transportation and illegal posssession of liquor had been dropped. She had been jailed after she had tramped down Pampa’s Main street waving a bottle of bootleg liquor, and refused to let friends raise SSOO bond for her freedom. She spent ten days in jail, all the time writing on prohibition issues and directing the work of the W. C. T. U. from her cell. aau "IF every woman would donate X $1.50 to the cause,” said Miss Allred, a meek appearing little woman, “I will purchase more liquor with it to show the grand jury.” She told the women she would "not go off Main street to buy the liquor.” When released, she took with her the W. C. T. U. insignia which hung on her cell door while she was imprisoned. “I guess the court thought I either was a polecat or a wildcat," she remarked when informed the indictment had been dropped. “Police Chief Downs knew he never could convict me of such a ridiculous charge. “I will continue my fight against liquor for Pampa is overflowing with poison ‘jake’ and whisky.”

whose son now Is 6 years old, had told, him that, like Isadora Duncan, she had to have the child “to have something to work for.” Amster depicted Miss Edwards as a woman who constantly had one hand outstretched for money. In addition, he said, she had the faculty of bobbing up in stray comers of the world where he happened to be—in Arizona, in Los Angeles, on trans-Atlantic liners, in Seville, Rome and Venice. He also alleged that he had found her “in the gutter shortly after she came here from San Francisco and had given her money to attend a dramatic school. Thereafter Amster declared her demands for money increased until, after her child was born, he etstablished a SIOO,OOO trust fund for her on the provision that she would not molest him further. •Always, he testified, she pursued him. He admitted he might have had intimate relations with her, but denied being the father of the child. “Didn’t you send her money? Didn’t you pay her money? Didn’t you invite her to accompany you on trips?” asked James D. C. Murray, Miss Edward’s counsel. “You don’t have to Invite that woman,” Amster replied. “Didn’t you ever remain over night in her apartment?” ‘I don’t know; I don’t remember, but it wouldn’t surprise me if I did.” DIES ON GALLOWS Young Briton Executed for Slaying Mother. Bu United Press MAIDSTONE, Kent. England, April B.—Sydney Harry Fox, 31-year-old “confidence man” and forger, was executed today for the murder of his widowed mother.

BANK BANDIT TRIO ON TRIAL FOR MURDER Colorado Officials Act to Prevent Violence to Kansas Robbers. DEPUTY SHERIFF SLAIN Stocky Desperado Tells How He Embarked on Life of Crime. By Vnited Press EADS, Colo.. April B.—Three men whom the state of Colorado charges fled out of the Kansas badlands less than a month ago with blazing guns faced a charge of murder here today. They are the Manter bank bandits, who, after robbing the small Kansas town institution of $4,000, are alleged to have slain Deputy SheriffXharles Hickman of i Eads in their flight. As the residents of Kiowa county , gathered here to witness the trial 1 it was apparent the justice known in the days of the old west had | changed her methods, i The three men—John Walker, I Claude Ray and Andrew Haliday—undoubtedly never would have ap- | peared before a court of law had ! they committed their alleged crime in the days of Colonel Chivington j and his volunteers. Colonel Chivingtcn is the hero of : Kiowa county. He and his followers j dealt instant death to murderous I Cheyenne Indians and whites who j preyed on settlers. When the Manter bandits ap- ! peared in court today they were accorded an attorney at Kiowa county’s expense to insure fair trial, even though they are purported to i have confessed shooting Hickman. Take Extreme Caution The precedent established by Colonel Chivington in dealing with terrorizers has not been forgotten here, however, and authorities took extreme caution to guard against violence. J. Arthur Phelps, district attorney, in charge of the prosecution, after interviewing thirty-eight state wit- ! nesses, decided the local jail would i be unsafe for the men. j It was said the men will be kept under heavy guard in a little brick blockhouse of other days. Ranch hands in high-heeled boot* and ten-gallon hats strode the | streets ot Eads early today. They I had ridden miles —in automobiles—to witness the trial. Boasted of Bank Raids The Main street hitch rack held ! only two saddled horses. The admitted leader of the Mani ter gang Is Walker, 42, a stocky desperado who boasted at the time of his arrest that he had robbed nine ; banks since September. He insisted, however, that he did the “gun work” in only one. “When I was a kid,” he said, “I used to play with some boys who were nephews of Jack Dalton, the old time bank robber. “I went swimming with them one day and my mother worried herself sick that I had gone out to rob a | bank. “She worried too soon. I guess.” Stole Ton of Lead Also facing possibility of the noose are Ray, 24, and Halliday, 22, who were boyhood chums. Ray declared that his stepfather chased him away from their Missouri farm home when he was 11. Halliday’s mother took Ray Into her home at Webb City. A widow, she was unable to keep pace with expenses, so both boys went to work in the lead mines. Their crime career started with the theft of a ton of lead for which they received $75.

Ariz., April B.—The dream of a small band ot soldiers of fortune of riding into Mexico against Apache Indians to rescue the small son of Francisco Fimber was ended today.
