STATE TO FINISH CASE AGAINST SCHROEDER MONDAY

TWO WITNESSES WILL POUND AT DEFENSE STORY Jurors Told How Prisoner Refused to Point Out Accident Scene. ALIENISTS TO REPORT Officer Denies Defendant Was Mistreated in Grilling. Adjourned for the week-end, the trial of Harold Herbert Schroeder, Mobile, Ala., garage man, will be resumed Monday, when the state will complete its case. Jurors Friday heard testimony that Schroeder refused to take authorities to the spot near Marshall, 111., where, he says, his car plunged into a four-foot ditch, accidentally killing his unidentified hitch-hiker passenger. Prosecutors indicated two witnesses remain to be heard before the state's net of circumstantial evidence is woven. Clarence Golder, city detective sergeant, told jurors that Schroeder, about June 25, announced he would take authorities to the alleged accident spot. Schroeder Changes Mind “We got in the emergency car and started for Illinois. When we got to the Marion-Hendricks county line, Schroeder said he had changed his mind. ‘lt doesn’t concern this case,’ ” he declared, according to Golder. “At the same time,” Golder said, “Schroeder told us he would point out the house where he stayed. He was unable to do that.” A telegram Schroeder is alleged to have written at Louisville, while fleeing from Indianapolis, under the name of “H. G. Flow,” was introduced in evidence by Prosecutor Herbert Wilson. The wire was addresssed to the Meeker hotel, Indianapolis, where, witnesses testified, Schroeder stayed for seven days without paying his bill. Handwriting of the telegram and that on the register of Meeker hotel w'ere identified by handwriting experts as being the same. In the wire, informed the hotel clerk to veep a small amount of baggage in lieu of paying the bill. Surprise Evidence Sprung Surprise testimony, that a man answering Schroeder’s description was seen in the vicinity of High School road seven hours before the flaming car, the charred body of an unknown man within, was found, was heard by. jurors Friday from William E. Harris, 3513 East Twenty-fifth street, who told of following the car past the scene. Other witnesses who took the stand Friday included Judson L. Stark, former prosecutor; George W. Eggleston, former deputy prosecutor; George L. Winkler, former sheriff; J. L. Wagner, 4186 Carrollton avenue, owner of the Meeker hotel; Paul Shideler, photographer for the Indianapolis News, and Harris. Stark, Winkler and Eggleston told of returning Schroeder to Indianapolis from Mobile, where he was captured three weeks after the tragedy, and of questioning the Alabaman. Denies Schroeder Abused Golder said that Schroeder admitted pouring three and one-half gallons of lubricating oil through the interior of the car and over the body, before setting it afire. Against charges of Ira Holmes, Schroeder’s attorney, that forcible methods were used in questioning after the prisoners’ return to Indianapolis, Golder said officers did not strike him. Report of alienists who examined Schroeder a week ago is to be submitted to Judge Frank P. Baker for a ruling before defense evidence is placed before the jury. Dr. Rogers E. Humes, one of the alienists, sat on the bench with Baker several days last week, apparently observing Schroeder. The findings will determine whether the case will be given to the jury.

Scarf aces Grip on Gang Broken by Youngster! By Science Service YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo., March 7.—Scarface, grizzly chief of the bears at the Old Faithful feeding grounds, known to thousands of Yellowstone visitors, has been deposed by a younger bear, who now reigns in his stead. For many years, Scarface, a great 1,000-pound bear, ruled the Old Faithful area, and other bears gave him right of way. He was named by Ranger Naturalist Phillip Martindale, who prelates the story, because of his torn face and the loss of both ears, symbols of his fights for supremacy. One night when Scarface appeared, three other bears were feeding. One was a large silvertip or grizzly. • Before Scarface came within 100 feet of the feeding platform, this new bear swaggered forward. Scarface also started swaggering in characteristic fighting manner, but he circled away and kept his distance until the newcomer chased him completely out. Then the victor proclaimed his power in true bear fashion. Going to the nearest tree, he reared himself on his hind legs and measured his full length against it He now was master. And Scarface no longer eats with the other bears.

NOTRE DAME WILL ERECT DORMITORIES

Two New Buildings Will Provide Quarters for 500 Students. By Times Special SOUTH BEND, ind., March 7. The University of Notre Dame con-* tinued as the sole, consistent source of building operations in St. Joseph county in the face of the current business depression when ground was broken this week for two new dormitories. The buildings will be erected across the Dorr road from the present campus and will be the first residence units to be erected on the site of all future expansion. The university dining hall and the law building have been recently constructed on the new tract. The dormitories will be of Gothic architecture, a style that has dominated all buildings on the campus for the past five years. They will house 250 students each. This will mean a decrease in the number of students housed in homes of the city. Approximately 800 students were so situated at the start of the present semester. Another Structure Planned On the completion of the dormitories, expected in time for occupancy next September, the university will proceed with the construction of anew building for the college of commerce. South Bend’s new postoffice project which has been in a tangle of government red tape for more than two years following the appropriation of funds by congress advanced a step this week with the announcement that a contract had been signed for temporary postoffice quarters pending construction of the new building. A garage and automobile salesroom on South Lafayette boulevard will be leased for the fifteen-month construction period. Road Building Approved Meanwhile prospects of a heavy county road building program met strong opposition from a group of wealthy taxpayers and real estate agents. The group made a violent demand at a meeting of the county board of commissioners that the

Reformers Try to End Cow Fighting in France

By United Press PARIS, March 7.—Fifteen humanitarians started a campaign today to end the game of cow fighting, which has long been the national sport of the French and Swiss Alps under the guise of the “battle of the queens” —a sort of annual elimination match to determine the best bovine fighters above the snow line.

Estate Closed After 14 Years at Greenfield By Times Special GREENFIELD, Ind., March 7. Estates are usually kept open only one year, but one in the probate court of Hancock county has been closed after being in process of adjudication for fourteen years, due to conditions caused by'the World war. The estate was that of Henry Schaeffer, who died at Forlville, in 1916. It had a value of $6,000, and the principal heirs were brothers of the deacesed, Peter and Frederick Schaeffer, residents of Frankfort, Germany. At that time, Germany had been in the World war two years, and before the process of distributing the estate could be -completed, the United States entered the conflict. Difficulties of communicating with residents of an enemy country made further steps impossible, but with the coming of peace, liquidation was resumed and this week distribution of the estate was completed. However, heirs of the brothers received it, as death of both followed that of their relative in America.

weights or bantams, comparatively speaking. The best battling bovines are the small, dark brown, sturdy milk cows of the Herens valley race. The cows of the side valleys get together and decide which is best, and these minor winners are pitted against the best of other valleys until, finally, the battlers of one of the high pastures meets the champion of the other side of the range for gore and glory. Every year in June, at the time the cows go to higher pasturage, the “queen” of each herd must be found by combat. Cowmen are all anxious to own the “queen,” because her milk and projeny command higher prices. The battles themselves are fairly conducted. The fighting cows are led into a natural amphitheater and made ready for the fray. The animals generally spend a few minutes whetting their horns on wind-bitten larches or tossing up hunks of earth. A referee gives the signal and the cows are loosed. They use their heads better than most, fighters. The horns lock and then the animals stand for eight or ten minutes, muscles bulging, pushing heads and seeking to bend the other’s body by twisting horns. The cowmen wofk up into a frenzy of excitement. The fight generally ends when one of the cotfs is pushed backward, horns unlock and the beaten animal starts to graze.

THE SAMARITAN WILL BE SUNDAY SCHOOL THEME Jesus Reminds Us in This Parable We Make Our Environment. The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for March 8. The Good Samaritan. Lake 10:35-37. BY WML E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationalist The story that we call the Parable of the Good Samaritan is from every standpoint one of the richest, deepest, and most beautiful in all human history. From a literary standpoint it is perfect. It compresses into small space a remarkable story, and tells it with unexcelled dramatic force and vigor. From a moral standpoint it expresses the whole challenge of dutyin connection with human relationships and man’s responsibility for the welfare of his fellow-men in as pointed and compelling a way as it could well be expressed. And from a spiritual standpoint it rever.ls the sham and hypocrisy that often parade under the profession oi religion and the insincerity and futility that go hand in hand with formalism, as these things have never been so vigorously set forth anywhere else. Here, also, the parable has become known through its chief figure and its chief purpose. It is not the parable of the man who fell among thieves, or the parable of the priest who passed by on the other side, or of the Levite who did likewise. It is the parable of the good Samaritan—the man who is known to us not because we are told anything about his creed or profession, but who appears in all the glory of his kind and loving deed, Story Told as Illustration It should not be forgotten that the story was told, like many of the parables of Jesus, to illustrate a particular point. Jesus was answering the question, Who is my neighbor? The lawyer who was trying him out had asked that question when Jesus had defined religion as consisting of love to God and love to one’s neighbor. It is instructive to see the way in which Jesus turned the tables upon his questioner. He compelled the questioner to answer himself. He did not say to him as he told the story, “The man who fell among thieves was neighbor to the priest and to the. Levite and to the man who helped him.” Jesus put the application the other way round. He said to the lawyer, “Which of the three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among thieves?” That is, Jesus does not say to us, “You must help such and such a man because he is your neighbor,” but he says, “You can be a neighbor to any man whom you are willing to help.” In this parable, as in other places, Jesus reminds us that we make our own religious world and environment. We can make it as narrow as our own prejudices and as mean and circumscribed as ourselves, or we can make it as vast as the love of God and inclusive of all that great family of our fellow-men who are comprised in that love of the Almighty Father. A Limitless Religion

The religion of the good Samaritan is a limitless religion. It is limitless in the largeness of its creed and profession, for its creed is not formal but practical. It is limitless in its application of religion, for it does not inquire whether the man to whom one would be a neighbor is an American or a foreigner, or what is the color of his skin, or what is the particular cause of the affliction from which he Is suffering. It is the religion that moves with instinctive action toward the help of any one in distress. It is the religion in which love as naturally expresses itself in kind words and loving deeds as one’s physical being inhales and exhales the air that is essential for life. The gloiy of such a religion is that the more one practices it, the more natural it becomes until it is almost second nature to behave in the spirit and in the manner of the good for the good Samaritan was simply acting in the spirit of the Master who gives wisdom and strength to all to act in the same way. America, in its present situation of unemployment and widespread suffering, offers a rich opportunity for all who are willing to be “good Samaritans.’

Above—Charles Farrell and Janet Gaynor in one of the poses that made them famous as screen lovers. Below—Farrell with Virginia Valli, his actress-bride. By United Press Hollywood, cai.. March 7. —The marriage of Charles Farrell and Virginia Valli in New York marked the climax of one of the most interesting romances of the Hollywood screen colony. The names of Farrell, Miss Valli and Janet Gaynor, who co-starred with Charles in a number of romantic pictures, had been linked in a triangle for several years. Now Farrell is married to Miss Valli, while Janet is Mrs. Lydell Peck, the wife of a young California business man. Their screen romance, however, is not ended as Fox has announced they will be coupled in several productions during this year. o tt a FARRELL and Miss Gaynor started their climb to success about the same time. As Charles frequently said: “We were just a couple of kids trying to get along.” Then came “Seventh Heaven,” in which their names went up in lights and the public refused to believe the ardent lovers of the screen could be other than sweethearts in real life. Charles and Janet neither confirmed, nor denied, and the legend grew. Miss Gaynor’s marriage to Peck came about the same time that she broke with Fox over her contract. The Gaynor-Farrell team was separated and Farrell made several pictures with other women. When Janet and the studio got together on terms, the Fox exequtives immediately announced that she and Farrell were to appear together again. tt tt St RUMORS of a break between Miss Gaynor and Peck have been denied by the actress several times. The most famous incident was about a year ago when Janet and her mother boarded a liner at San Francisco to sail for Honolulu. Charles and Janet held a conference and it was decided that one of theVn must leave the boat. Since Janet had selected Honolulu first, Charles made the sacrifice. He tried to make his disappearance in secret but a ship reporter spied him running down

Both Farrell and Miss Gaynor declared the selection of the boat was entirely accidental—“just one of those unexplainable things that happen once in a lifetime.” tt tt tt THE Valli-Farrell wedding was no surprise to Hollywood.

Low Price Ruined Bankrupt’s Estate, Court Is Told. By United Press LOS ANGELES, March 7—A hundred t. „usand gallons of Southern California's finest wines has been sold by a federal referee in bankruptcy for an average of cents a gallon. This quotation came to light when Mrs. Mary O. Baumgarteker, administratrix of the estate of her husband Frank, wine dealer, who disappeared mysteriously nineteen months ago, told Probate Judge Charles S. Crail that the estate, first appraised at $250,000 had dwindled to $5,000 because of the low price obtained for the wine.

AL CAPONE TO DIE IF BIG BILL LOSES, IS HINT Foes Await Cermak Drive on Gang King to Snuff Him From Picture. BY FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 7.—Chicago - mayoralty election still is a monti. away, but politicians, gangsters and police already have begun to worry about v.h%t may be momentous after-effects of the voting. The latter include confident predictions of the murder of Scarface A1 Capone, either the slaying or the jailing of most of his followers and likely as not the setting up of two or three rival beer barons to take his place. The predictions all are based on the 6 to 1 betting that Anton J. Cermak, Democrat, will beat Mayor William Hale Thompson. Republican. who is running for re-election on April 7. Cermak. immigrant from Bohemia, who rose to power and riches as a Cook county politician, is expected to shear away all of Capone’s power, political and otherwise, if elected. Police will be instructed, said Cermak, to arrest all Capone vice, gambling and liquor workers on sight, while the city hall will be swept clean of all politicians favorable to Thompson and the somewhat indefinite political phrase, •Thompsonism.” Under the Thompson regime, Capone and the men believed to be his “higher-ups,” have ruled Chicago’s underworld with a spiked club. Death has been the penalty for those who have attempted to “muscle in” on the Capone “beer racket ” Should Cermak be elected and carry out his promised war a-gainst the Capone forces, the United Press was informed, Scarface Al’s billion-dollar extra-legal business will be swarmed over by scores of plug-uglies who have been waiting years for just such an opportunity The minor racketeers, all hoping to become "big shots,” will kill Capone the first opportunity they get, the information added, and then settle down to killing each other for the millions of dollars involved yearly in the satisfying of illicit thirsts. The police department is expected to do its utmost to handle the situation, to place gangsters in jail.
