FILE MURDER CHARGE IN PRETTY NA VAL CLERK DEATH
REAL ESTATE MAN ACCUSED AFTER GRILLING Surprising New Evidence Tends to Exonerate War Veteran. ADMITS OWNING GUN 42-Year-Old Married Man Denies Slaying Young Girl. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 22—Herbert M. Campbell, Oak Crest, Va„ real estate dealer, was arrested early today and charged with the murder of Mary Baker, pretty navy department clerk, mysteriously slain in nearby Virginia last April 11. Campbell was taken to the Arlington county Jail early this morning after a surprising series of developments which, investigators say, apparently point to his guilt and tend to exonerate Herman H. Barrere, World war veteran and itinerant painter. The real estate man, however, steadfastly denies killing the girl and asserts he did not even know her. Admits Owning Gun Barrere, who was brought here from Montreal last week and charged with the killing, now is being held only as a material witness. He was arrested largely on the strength of Campbell’s statements. Campbell, several weeks ago, admitted ownership of the gun with which the girl was slain. Until last night, however, he had contended it was stolen from his home shortly before the murder. He linked Barrere with the theft, saying the latter had access to his home when he visited there April 10 to make an estimate on a painting job. After five hours of questioning on Monday night, Campbell broke dowm according to detectives, and admitted the gun had not been stolen. He also admitted, but later denied. ownership of the soiled* pair of gloves found with the girl's clothing near the entrance to the Arlington national cemetery, where the bullet-riddled body was found.
42 Years Old and Married Campbell also was forced to admit, his questioners say, that he was in the vicinity of Seventeenth and B streets a£ 5:30 p. m. on the day of the crime. It was there the girl was last seen alive, engaged in an altercation with a man in her automobile. In admitting the gun never was out of his possession, Campbell told police he had concocted the story of "a man with a wart on his nose” who, he had said, returned the weapon under singular circumstances and then disappeared without divulging his identity. Campbell is 42 years old and is married. SLAIN BANDIT LAID TO REST AT KOKOMO Mother and Sister claim body of John Pullen. Bu United Press KOKOMO. Ind.

Sheriff, Police Silent on Developments; Knife Figures in Case. Fresh clews to the High School road murder, May 31, were being run down by city detectives and deputy sheriffs today, but both agencies refused to divulge in what direction they might lead towards solution of the mystery. That none of them dealt directly with Harold Herbert Schroeder, Mobile, Ala., held in county jail on police charges of arson and murder for alleged burning of his auto in which the charred body of a man was found, was deduced from the fact that Schroeder remained quietly in his cell while the investigation seethed between police headquarters and the sheriff’s road patrol office.

Autopsy on the body in the car disclosed that the man died probably of a knife wound in the chest.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
CARROLL SEEKS JURY TO RULE ONTOENCY' Attorney Declares Police Try to Make Sensation of Show Raid. Bu United Press NEW YORK, July 22.—Earl Carroll and his co-defendants, charged with presenting in the latest “Vanities” an indecent show, sought today to obtain a ruling whereby a jury of citizens "from all walks of life” should pass on the action. Judge Rosalsky in general sessions heard arguments for and against such procedure and then took the request under advisement. Charge Girl Was Nude Louis Vorhaus, attorney for Carroll, carried the brunt of today’s argument, and attorneys for Jimmy Savo, comedian, and three dancing girls acquiesced in Vorhaus’ plea. Vorhaus pointed out to Rosalsky that fifteen years ago the latter had sent to a jury the case of the "Garden of Passion,” in which it was charged the players assumed “indecent and suggestive postures.” Rosalsky remembered the case. Vorhaus en. .hasized that two scenes out of a total of sixty-eight had been objected to by police who swooped down on the alleged nudities of the 193 C Vanities one afternoon recently :nd carried off Savo and a group of what Carroll calls the "most beautiful women on earth.” As for the police charge that one of the beautiful girls was nude, Vorhaus said he had twelve witnesses to disprove this claim. The defense insists that the girl danced behind a gauze screen and covered herself with two huge fans. Wants Jury Action Vorhaus suggested the police had sought to make a sensation of the raid and that authorities had ignored a hitherto prevalent custom of cautioning producers to remove objectionable features. The fan dance act and the "Window at Merls”—Jimmy Savo draping and undraping (living) models in a window—had been eliminated since the raid. Vorhaus suggested it would be fair that a jury pass on the decency or indecency of the protested portrayals. U. S. PRISON SITE TO BE AGREED ON SOON Bates to Report to Mitchell by Aug. 1 on Proposals.

Red and Ready But Sultan’s Bright Auto Is Without Roads for Its Use.
Bn United Press _ . WASHINGTON, July 22.—Out in the sun-baked sultanate of Jimma, his royal majesty, Abba Jisar, faces a dilemma. He has a big new motor car of shiniest red, but no roads to drive it on. The predicament of Abba, who is known to the home folk as the sultan.of Jimma, was revealed today in a consular report to the state department. The purpose of the report was to advise American motor car manufacturers that their products, especially bright red ones, might be sold in Jimma. The chronicle of Abba, like that of Ulysses, is full of woe. Recently he left his native Jimma and set out for the motormart at Addis Ababa, capital of Abyssinia. He intended to buy a green car. Green is the holy Hoslem color and Abba was a good Moslem. But the big red car caught his eye and aesthetics triumphed over religion. It is 180 miles from Abbis Ababa to Jimma as the* camel trots, but there is no road. Nevertheless, Abba gave his newred car the gas and set up great dust whirls across the desert. All went well until he came to a river. Abba was perplexed, but solved the problem by giving an Armenian taxi driver $520 to build a raft and ferry him across. Now the big red car is safely quartered in the sultan’s palace, but it seems doomed to stay there unless some roads are built. SIX ON TRIAL IN NEGROSLAYING Feeling Runs High in Georgia Death Case. By United Press ATLANTA, Ga., July 22.—Six white men went on trial today charged with the murder of Dennis Hubert, a Negro, who was shot to death June 15, after being accused of insulting a white woman.

The state announced that the death penalty would be asked, while the defense indicated it would rely on a plea of self-defense. The six defendants admitted shooting Hubert, but claim they fired at him only when he resisted their attempt to hold him for police. The defendants are Aubrey Sikes, T. F. Martin, J. R. Garvin, Tom Berryman, M. W. Harmon and Roy S. Evans. A seventh suspect escaped.
SOUTHERN INDIANA IN DROUGHT'S GRIP
Crops Near Destruction and Water Scarce in Rural Sections. - By United Press Monday night’s showers brought little relief to heat baked southern Indiana. Only continued, heavy rains can save crops that so far have withstood one of the worst droughts of the century. Although further thunderstorms appeared probable today, the government we’ather bureau forecast fair weather for tomorrow, indicating possible continuation of the hot, dry period. Wells and cisterns in the southern section have gone dry. Rural residents are drinking water hauled distances up to two and one-half miles from wells, ponds and streams. What water is used for human con. sumption is boiled. Trees in Autumn Garb Pastures are tinder dry and woods have taken on an autumn-like appearance, The drought’s worst ravages extend across the whole southern end of the state—a strip thirty to forty-fue miles wide reaching as far north as Princeton on the west and nearly to Greensburg on. the other side. And the belt is widening northward into central Indiana. An agent of the federalDureau of agricultural statistics at Purdue university reported coin curling in the northwestern area, reaching nearly to Lake Michigan. Even the oldest Ripley county res- ' dents say they can not remember worse conditions. The sheriff’s office at Madison reports half the wells in Jefferson county drv The last substantial rain fell in that section late in April. All vegetables, early tobacco and early corn ir. the southern section is beyond reviving, but immediate rainfall would save the bulk of late 'corn and tobacco, although it is curled badly and, in some cases, the tassels are burned. City Residents Fare Better Residents of the southern Indiana cities are faring far better than their fellow citizens in the rural distticts. There is no water shortage in the cities that are served by a municipal water system, although consumers may not sprinkle lawns at Madison after 8 p. m. Ft. Wayne, far to the north, is facing a possible water shortage if the drought continues. Sprinkling regulations have been applied there. The Wabash river is not unusually low. Evansville reported an eight foot river level, some three to five feet above recorded low levels. Southern Hoosiers are praying for rain in church services. They are facing possibility ot a drought’s worst threat—typhoid. Motorists-fcoming into the state from Cincuinati and Kentucky tell
