CLARA BOW TO KEEP OUT OF TRIAL Editor Will Not Be Allowed to Call Actress in 'Obscenity’ Case. By United Press LOS ANGELES, April 24.—Frederic H Gimau, publisher of a weekly tabloid newspaper, will not be allowed to call Clara Bow as a defense witness when he goes on trial on charges of sending obscene matter through the mails, federal authorities said today. Girnau, who printed a series of articles on “The Love Life of Clara Bow” in his periodical, the “Coast Reporter,” claimed that the highly sensational articles were privileged and printed without malice. Filing of further misdemeanor charges against the publisher would give him the opportunity to call Miss Bow into court for “a further attempt to besmirch her character,” United States Attorney Samuel W. McNabb declared, and city and county officers agreed to withhold further anticipated charges. McNabb said the federal law covering distribution of obscene matter through the mails concerned itself only with the question of obscenity, and not with the question of substantiation of the attack or malice. Daisy De Voe, who was convicted of stealing $825 from Miss Bow, was named by Girnau as having supplied him with information for the articles. She denied emphatically she gave him the material. Girnau probably will be arraigned before Federal Judge George Cosgrave, Monday. He was still in jail today, unable to provide SIO,OOO bond.

POOR AID BONDS TOBERESOLD Shearer’s Refusal to Sign Costs County $1,300. Because John E. Shearer, minority county commissioner, refused to sign a $380,000 bond issue to pay poor relief bills, a resale of bonds that will cost the county an additional $1,300 in interest rates and premiums today became necessary. Two banks which at first had bought the bonds, sold to pay poor relief grocery bills for December, January and February, would not accept them without Shearef’s signature. Majority faction members of the board of commissioners have authorized County Auditor Harry Dunn to sell the bonds to the Fletcher Trust Company, second low bidder. Interest rate of the low bidder was 3.75, without premiums, while the Fletcher rate is 4 per cent interest with a SSOO premium. * WELCH JOBS BANK Succeeds to Celtic Post Held by James Deery.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

portant meeting of the organization in several years. The American economic system is or. trial, irf the opinion of many leaders of thought. What business men intend to do about it will be one of the questions asked when 3,000 of its representatives get together at Atlantic City. Industrial leaders will go to the meeting from home communities where business is languishing, where unemployment exists—clear indications that the social and industrial system is out of order. Somewhat shaken by the experience of depression in a land of plenty, which has lasted longer than any one expected, conservative business leaders are said to be ready to talk and think of remedies that heretofore have been outlawed as radical.
