JUDGE SAVES BLIND PAUPER FROMASYLUM Poor Farm Move to Get Rid of Inmate, Adjudged Sane, Foiled. ROOM BRANDED FILTHY Physician Says Aged Man Was Kept in Foul Cell at Infirmary. Efforts of attendants at the Mar- ; lon county px>r farm to have a 75-year-old blind pauper adjudged ; Insane, to rid the farm of an in- j mate, were frustrated late Tuesday I by Superior Judge John W. Kern. And in the frustration two phy- ] sicians, who examined the aged j pauper, declared the cell in which i he was kept at the farm was “dis- I gustingly filthy” and "foul-smelling.” The pauper is George Robinson, 75. Howard Wiseman, attendant at the poor farm, signed papers declaring Robinson of unsound mind. Insane, Said Doctor Dr. R. R. Coble, physician attending inmates at the county farm, declared Robinson insane. Both Dr. Coble and Wiseman asserted that the aged pauper had to be incarcerated to keep him from “wandering off from the infirmary.” “He imagines he is being persecuted and is doomed for the electric chair,” Dr. Coble said, in a statement declaring the old man insane. Judge Kern named Doctors Orvall Smiley and Emil G. Winter as friends of the court to examine Robinson and adjudge whether he was sane. Held in Foul Cell Tuesday, the physicians reported to the Judge, in their report, both written and verbal, they declared not only that Robinson was sane, but that he was being held in a cell so ‘‘foul-smelling’ that it was not conducive to keeping any man’s mind at even keel. Even following the hearing and Robinson's return to the poor farm, one of the physicians commented, ‘‘l almost felt like saying that the old fellow was insane just to get him a cleaner place to stay than where he Is held now.” No officials of the poor farm or representatives of the county commissioners were present at the Sanity hearing. The transfer request was made solely on the word of an attendant and the attending physician. A stepson is Robinson’s only relative. Doctors Give Views The statements of the doctors who examined Robinson and their criticism of the care he was receiving in the poor farm follow: Dr. Smiley—l am of the opinion that he is not mentally ill and is not a proper person for detention, care and treatment in a state hospital. I was unable to detect anything about this man to lead me to believe that he was insane. He is coherent, well-oriented, memory, both past and recent, good. He is blind and tries very hard to be as clean as possible. He is confined in a small, hot, foul-smeling room, disgustingly filthy. He is restless and annoyed but with evident reason from his surroundings. Have also other information that he gave no trouble and that his deportment and manner was good, that he showed no evidence of being insane. Dr. Winter—He is not men A tally ill. and should not be taken to the insane hospital. He has good memory, both recent and past, He is co-ordinate. He is able to care for himself in view of the fact that he is blind. It is true that he is nervous, but this is not abnormal, considering his blindness. He was clean in his habits at time of visit. He did not make reference to his persecution, or manifest any delusions or hallucinations. Dr. Coble (Poor Farm Physician)—He imagines he is being persecuted and is doomed for the electric chair. He is very dirty in his personal care. Has to be confined, otherwise he would run away from the infirmary. I am of the opinion that he is a proper person for admission to the state hospital for the insane.

The goal is 1,000,000 signers, they said.

BRUENING TO FASCISTPARLEY German Premier to Talk World Problems. BY FREDERICK KUH United Pres* Staff Correspondent BERLIN, Aug. s.—Chancellor Heinrich Bruening, Germany's “traveling premier,” planned to depart for Rome today to confer with Fascist government leaders on vital international problems. The forthcoming conversations were seen as highly significant, in view of Germany’s present financial situation. Chancellor Bruening’s trip to Italy follows a series of recent visits in European capitals in efforts to gain international co-operation on Germany’s economic problems. He, together with Dr. Julius Curtius, foreign minister, have visited England twice and Paris once seeking foreign aid. Bruening, on the eve of his departure for Rome, broadcast an international radio speech in which he urgently appealed for confidence in Germany’s ability to help herself back to financial stability. The chancellor asserted that “the German people ought to realize that they can only help themselves if they have confidence in their own strength.” JUDGE'S HE BOUSED ‘Exiling’ Jurist Angered by Board’s Slap. By United Press PRINCETON, Ind., Aug. 5.—A sharp contrast was being drawn here between the conciliatory attitude of the Indiana Boys’ school authorities toward John Tooley, Gibson county exile, and the hostile viewpoint maintained today by Judge Claude Smith, who continued firm in his belief that the youth is a criminal and incorrigible. Judge Smith, while branding as “infernal lies” reports that he was invited to the meeting of the school’s board of trustees at which John’s case was considered, today flatly refused to admit that he had erred in first exiling the youth and then sentencing him to eight years in the institution. He expressed dissatisfaction at the school authorities’ decision to keep Tooley at the institution for sixteen months while they further investigated his case.

By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. s.—lrving Frielder, 26, was to get his first steady job today since he crushed one of his hands in a printing press two years ago, because he chose to return a watch to its owner rather than pawn it and buy food for his wife and baby.

‘ALFALFA BILL’ JEERS AT U. S. COURT POWER Closes Oil Fields, Daring Sinclair to Invoke Federal Aid. BRIBE CHARGE HURLED ‘Let ’Em Try to Pull That Injunction Stuff on Me,’ Scoffs Governor. BY GEORGE B. ROSCOE United Press Staff Correspondent OKLAHOMA CITY. Okla., Aug. s.—The attempt of Governor William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray to rescue Oklahoma’s petroleum industry with soldiers and martial law developed today into a battle between a self-made lawyer-politi-cian and an aggressive multi-mil-lionaire oil executive. National guardsmen patrolled the state’s richest oil leases to enforce the Governor’s edict closing all flush wells until the price of crude oil rises to $1 a barrel. At the same time, attorneys for several oil companies prepared to go into federal court to contest the unprecedented action. Both the Governor who issued the orders and Harry F. Sinclair, chairman of the board of Sinclair Consolidated Oil Companies, whose business is affected, refused to comment today on thj martial law and shutdown order. Oklahoma’s fiery chief executive had Singled Sinclair out as one of the “operators who by avarice and seditious intent to overthrow state government had depressed the price of oil to personally profit.” Hurls Bribe Charge Charging Sinclair had considered the possibility of bribing forty lawmakers in the last legislature to impeach the Governor, Murray left his executive offices today for the reported purpose of evading service of a federal court Injunction which he had anticipated to be the oil man’s answer. Sinclair went about his Tulsa headquarters today apparently little concerned with the Governor’s charges. It was reliably reported, however, his answer would come today by federal court order issued at Guthrie which would be designed to restrain the Governor from carrying out the martial law rule. R. G. McKever, veteran attorney, who, like Governor Murray, is considered an authority on constitutional law, told the United Press he was going to Guthrie. He was retained by H. H. Champlin, head of the Champlin F.efining Company, who had affiliated himself witlj Sinclair in a fight against proration. *Let ’Em Try* “Just let them try to pull that old federal court injunction stuff on me,” the Governor said. “One reason I did this thing was to see whether an inferior federal .judge could place a coroporation above the rights of a sovereign state and its citizens." “Again I say, it will be like a jackrabbit trying to tree a wildcat,” Murray said, striding up and down and pounding his desk. Sinclair’s past activities, however, indicate the impending battle will be momentous. Educated as a druggist at the university of Kansas, he now heads one of the most powerful independent oil companies. His path to financial power is dotted with battles and adversity as well as success. Recalls Teapot Dome His most spectacular fight was in the Teapot Dome oil lease scandals for which former Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall is serving a prison term for bribery. Sinclair, himself, has served a term for contempt of court in the government’s investigation of the huge fraud. Like Sinclair, the “sage of Tishomingo” loves a battle. But unlike his opponent, he educated himself in a cotton patch in Texas, later coming to Oklahoma. A colorful career as a country politician, who became Governor at the mandate of what he calls the common “peepul,” has left him an enemy of men of Sinclair’s type. Military occupation of the twen-ty-seven Oklahoma oil fields named in the Governor’s order progressed without opposition. All Oklahoma City w r ells had been closed and Lieu-tenant-Colonel Cicero I. Murray, thf Governor’s cousin, left for Seminole, where he will command the Seminole national guard unit in closing the many pools of the greater Seminole.

‘PERFECT LOVE MATCH’ WINKS OUT

Beautiful Ina Claire No Longer Mrs. John Gilbert

By Uniti LOS ANGELES, Aug. s.—One of the most famous marriages among the film celebrities of Hollywood has ended with the divorce of John Gilbert and Ina Claire.

“Everybody hates a failure; I’m sorry this marriage ended so,” declared Gilbert in a short statement after Miss Claire secured her divorce from him here Tuesday on grounds of mental cruelty. “One thing has been established,” continued the man often referred to as the screen’s greatest lover, “and that is the dignity of the lady who was Mrs. Gilbert through it all.” The actor's reference to “the lady who was Mrs. Gilbert” brought sm.les for friends, who regarded it as his lor.g-delayed “comeback” to the famous remark made by his wife the day after their marriage. ‘How does it feel to be married to a celebrity?’’ the bride was asked on that occasion.

Ina Claire

“Why don’t you ask Mr. Gilbert?” she answered. At that time, the marriage was hailed as ‘the perfect match,” because of ttg reputations the two had made as lovers on screen.

JAIL-BREAKER SAWS LEG IRONS; ESCAPES Denver ’Legger Foils Guards on Train; Hops Off at Lincoln. By United rrcss LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. s.—Sawing through leg irons which had bound him to a berth in a Burlington passenger train en route to Denver, Fred Reger, 31, who broke jail at Denver several weeks ago, today escaped from federal officers returning him to Denver from West Virginia.

By United Press HAVANA, Aug. s.—The nation’s twenty-four-hour general strike was over today after a day of violence in which several persons were wounded, many arrested and numerous bombs were exploded. Heavy patrols of police sought to maintain order in the capital throughout the night. The strike, involving nearly 100,000 workers caused no major disorders in other cities. All labor unions with the exception of street car men resumed operations, ending their twenty-four-hour strike in sympathy with the street car men’s strike against wage reductions. Newspapers resumed publication.

Attorney for Mrs. Brehm Says Her Declaration Is No Surprise. “I wouldn’t be surprised.” That comment was made today by Fred Mattice, Indianapolis attorney, on reports from Oklanoma City that Mrs. fcettie Brehm, former wife of D. C. Stephenson, has charged she was induced to file non-support charges against the Ku-Klux Klan leader in a plot to discredit him. Mattice, who was Mrs. Brehm’s attorney in the nonsupport case here, said that she did not tell him she was participating in a conspiracy caused by klan factional disputes, but that he could not state definitely that Stephenson was not the victim of a plot. Judgment Still Unpaid “She came to me because a lawyer ir> Oklahoma had recommended me,” said Mattice. “I handled her case because it seemed to me her action was logical, inasmuch as she haq been deserted when their child was a tiny baby. “Never having been a member of the klan, I have no way of knowing whether Stephenson was the object of a conspiracy at that time.” Stephenson’s former wife obtained a $12,000 judgment, which still is unpaid. Discussing the case, Mattice recalled that the nonsupport case was filed the same week that the Madge Oberholtzer death case “broke.” Pardon Meeting Held “Granting that Steve was railroaded into prison,” said Mattice, “didn’t he provide the ammunition for them to shoot him with?” Stephenson is serving a life term in Michigan City prison on a murder charge growing out of the death of Miss Oberholtzer. In addition to his attorneys filing briefs in his behalf in the habeas corpus prohibition suit in the supreme court Tuesday, Stephenson’s pardon petitioners held a meeting Tuesday night at the office of Elias W. Dulberger, prime mover in the petition matter with Henry F. Kottkamp. AGED MAN SHOOTS TWO Resentment Over Boat Renting Competition Believed Cause. By United Press SYRACUSE, Ind., Aug. s.—Competition over rental of motor boats was held responsible for a shooting here today in which Harry Cleveland and Frank Rosenberry were wounded by William Rarig, 70. Rarig, allegedly incensed because the two men started to rent boats in competition with him, first called Cleveland from his home and shot him. He then went to Rosenberry’s home, called him out, and opened fire with a shotgun. Cleveland was taken to an Elkhart hospital in a critical condition, and Rarig submitted to arrest.

Friends of the couple attributed their separation in part to the fact that after the advent of the talkies, Gilbert’s fame waned

somewhat while Miss Claire went on to even greater heights than she had before. Gilbert once was quoted also as saying she was “too intelligent” for him. Gilbert said in his statement Tuesday night that ‘the lady who was Mrs. Gilbert” had been “more than fair in every way,” that a year after their marriage she signed away all rights to his property and that all financial arrangements in connection with the divorce were settled out of court. A separate home was provided for Miss Claire by Gilbert after their first separation, she said. The Claire-Gilbert romance developed after wide publication of stories linking the name of Gilbert, the perfect lover, with the alluring Greta Garbo, blonde screen star. Gilbert had been married twice, Olive Bum-

well and Leatrice Joy. Miss Claire had been married to James Whittaker, Hew York newspaper man. Her maiden najpe is Ina Fagan. % "

NO BRUTALITY, CHIEF WARNS CITY POLICE Decency and Courtesy Must Be Used in Arrests, Morrissey Says. Allegations of police brutality today brought a warning from Police Chief Mike Morrissey to his officers that brutal methods in handling of prisoners will not be condoned. The chief demanded that “decency and courtesy be shown at all times in dealing with citizens,” adding, however, that courtesy should not be permitted to interfere with officers doing their duty in making arrests. The warning followed filing of charges against patrolmen Otto Burk and James W. Graham before the safety board Tuesday by Ralph Surber, 21, of 752 Livingston avenue, who charged the officers with striking and clubbing him brutally while making an arrest for driving a car with only one headlight Sunday night. Board to Hear Charges Technical charges of conduct unbecoming an officer, specifying “assault and battery without provocation,” filed by Surber, will be heard by the safety board at its meeting next Tuesday. Surber, who appeared before the board Tuesday with a badly swollen eye and other marks on his face, alleged to have been caused by fists and clubs of the accused officers, gave the board the names of a number of witnesses to the affair who have expressed indignation over action of the two policemen. Surber said the officers beat him when he got out of his car to look at his headlights, after the officers told him only one light was burning. The incident occurred, he said, several blocks from the place where he shouted at the officers after they are said to have turned their car in front of Surber’s car. Resisted, Say Officers Chief Morrissey refused to file charges, saying he believed explanation of the officers, as he had not received any statement from Surber. The officers told Morrissey that Surber was struck after he had become abusive, resisted arrest and drew back one. arm as if to strike them. Statement of Chief Morrissey, read at police roll calls Tuesday night and today, is: “I have of late received entirely too many complaints of patrolmen using undue force in effecting arrests. While so far none of these has been found justified, yet I fear where there is so much smoke there may be some fire. Courtesy Must Be Shown “Let it be clearly understood that I will stand squarely back of all officers in using all necessary force, just as long as their conduct is such as to leave me room to do so. Yet I wish emphatically to declare that I will condone no brutality on the part of officers dealing with prisoners, and shall insist that decency and courtesy fca shown at all times in dealing with citizens. “This does not mean, of course, that ‘courtesy’ should be permitted to interfere with officers doing the ~ duty in making arrests. I earnestly solicit the co-operation of every member of the force in upholding the good name of the department.” PROTEST GANG FILMS Police Association Resolution to Go to Producers. By United Press SCHENECTADY, N. Y., Aug. 5.

Such pictures were banned by the association, in a resolution adopted by the delegates. Gangsters should be shown in their true light, as public enemies, they asserted.

Lindbergh, flying across the wilderness of northern Canada with his heiress wife, landed in the Mackenzie river at Aklavik at 5:05 (central time) today, eleven hours and thirty minutes after he had taken off from Baker lake, 1,115 miles to the east. Averaging better than one hundred miles an hour on this most dangerous hop so far of his aerial vacation, Lindbergh, with Mrs. Lindbergh manning the radio, circled this Arctic outpost twice and set his pontoon-equipped Lockheed plane on the river in a perfect Lindbergh landing, to the chorus of howling Eskimo dogs and cheers of the entire population of this section. Royal Canadian mounted police, in their red jackets and sombreros, rowed out to the Lindbergh plane and helped the fliers bring the lowwinged monoplane to the bank, where it was moored safely. Guests at Manse The Lindberghs, both smiling at the array of Indians, trappers and a handful of white persons who Lve in this far northern outpost, went to the Presbyterian manse to rest up after their all-night flight, only two hours of which were dark, on account of the long Arctic days this time of year. Lindbergh and his wife started unexpectedly from Baker Lake, an almost isolated point near Hudson bay, Tuesday night at 5:35 central time, when the weather, which had been blustery all day. suddenly cleared. Their route lay over the “bad lands,” most barren and sparsely populated land of the North American continent, cut by ridges of mountains, dotted with lakes and covered with undergrowth. A forced landing would have meant that they might not be rescued for weeks. Carrying, emergency rations, a rubber boat and pistols, the Lindberghs, with the same self-confi-dence that the air mail flier set out across the Atlantic in 1927, took the opportunity cf clearing weather and roared away toward Aklavik with the reservation that they might land at Copper Mines river or Hunter bay, about half way toward their goal. f Wife Works at Radio First news of their take-off crackled from the radio key in the hands of Mrs. Lindbergh, a few years ago the debutante daughter of Dwight W.
