TUTEWILER IS FREE IN DRUNK DRIVING CASE Angry Mothers Assert T<hey • Were Given No Chance to Tell Stories. by HEZE CLARK Three mothers left the court room today angrily pleading for measures to safeguard their children from reckless and drunken drivers, after Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer discharged Harry D. Tutewiler, 1517 Park avenue, Republican political leader, on counts of drunkenness and driving an automobile while intoxicated. Tutewiler gained dismissal on motion of Ralph Spann, defense counsel. Dewey Meyers, deputy prosecutor, aided in the court’s support of the motion by asserting the state had no evidence to substantiate the charges. The women, two of whom reside in an apartment at 1451 Central avenue, on the lawn of which the politician's car came to a stop July 31. were state’s witnesses in the case. They were permitted to testify only about the path which Tutewiler’s car took in the accident. Testimony Stifled They are Mrs. Paul Karrenbrock, apartment 3, and Mrs. Marshall Robinson, apartment 20, both of the Central avenue address, and Mrs. Nora O’Brien, 512 East Fifteenth street, witnesses when Tutewiler’s car careened first across the O’Brien lawn and then smashed a swing in front of the apartment. “We didn’t get a chance to tell our story,” Mrs. Karrenbrook declared after the case was closed. “I moved in that apartment because I thought my little girl w T ould be safe. She was sitting in the swing just a few minutes before the car came across the lawn.” Spann obtained a ban on testimony of motor patrolman Leßoy Bartlett, who arrested Tutewiler at his home. The court sustained his contention that even if Tutewiler had been drinking, Bartlett’s evidence would not be competent, because the officer did not witness the I accident and had no search war- ! rant. Couldn’t Smell Liquor The women related the path the ! auto took before it zig-zagged to a halt on the lawn. They said a woman came after Tutewiler and another drove away the auto. Under questioning, the women said they had not been close enough to Tutewiler to smell liquor on his breath. Several politicians. including present and past office holders, were prepared to testify in Tutewiler’s behalf.

To complete the disguise, most of the men wore old trousers and boots reminiscent of pioneer days. A contest was on today’s program to determine which man has i grown the best set of whiskers. The ; award will be made on the basis of , length, thickness, toughness and color. MISS BRANDON IS DEAD Pioneer of Kokomo Succumbs at Home of Niece Here.

Clever, These — Peiping’s Mayor Angered by Rush of Chinese to Night Clubs.

L’i / United Press PEIPING, Aug. 12.—Peping’s new mayor, Chou Ta-Wen, has declared war on Chinese night clubs, which first appeared in the ancient capital less than a year ago and have been growing in number and popularity ever since. Chou says he is disgusted with Chinese who waste their money on wine and women. He can’t understand why Chinese should take a fancy to western dancing, which he describes as “awkward and undignified.” The mayor has not yet decided what action to take. More than twenty night clubs are doing a thriving business, with Chinese dance orchestras and Chinese dancing partners, most of them imported from Shanghai. It is believed he will recommend taxes so high most of the clubs will be forced to close. Chou also attacked Peiping women for their adoption of a new style of hair-dress. “I do not mind bobbed hair, so much, although it is pretty bad,” he said. “But these women who wear their hair hanging half down their necks are a terrible sight.” The mayor hinted that a law may be pased against such freakish styles. i Injured in Windstorm LORAIN, 0., Aug. 12. —A terrific windstorm, rushing off Lake Erie with near-cyclonic velocity, twisted through Sheffield village, a hamlet west of here, early today, injuring at least seven persons as it leveled summer cottages and farm buildings.

selves off Stavanger, on the coast of Norway. Bad weather held up an airplane rescue flight planned by Captain Riiser-Larsen, widely known flier, as well as other Norwegian and Danish search parties. Ships on the route Cramer was believed to have taken from the Shetland Islands toward Copenhagen, his goal, reported sharp lookouts for the plane were fruitless. Slight hope still was maintained that the sturdy seaplane may have come down in some desolate fjord on the Norwegian coast whence Cramer may be unable to communicate with the world. The Norwegian naval squadron on maneuvers in the Skagerak was ordered to join the search. A Scottish fishery cruiser left Lerwick, in the Shetland Islands, to join in the hunt over a route of about 500 miles. Cramer was surveying an air mail route from America to northern Europe.
