GERMANY PINS ITS FAITH ON AGED CHIEFTAIN Old and Weary, Hindenourg Still Is Bulwark of His Nation. fftandinr between the menace or flnaneial eollanoe. and his people, a bulwark to ih Republic as he was a bulwark ei an exhausted nation when he held the famous line on the Western front. Is President Von Hindenburc. The follower is the first of a series of six atories on present dar Germany. BY H. A. PETERS Ignited Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN. Sept. 22.—1n all Germany today there is only one ‘‘most popular man”; only one who is so loved by the masses that no other can approach his hold on them. Paul von Beneckendorf und von Hindenburg, president of the German republic and former field marshal in the imperial armies, a weary old man of 83, probably longs for the day when he can retire, yet is kept going by his one passion—the burning desire to save the Fatherland at all sacrifice. One has to see the president at close range in order to realize just how his age is beginning to tell; and to realize the determination to carry on despite the shortcomings of the body. At the launching of the armored cruiser Deutschland at Keil in May he had a strenuous day. Strain Plainly Visible First, the launching ceremonies, then a round of inspections followed by a fleet review the next day. When the president reached the station and walked slowly to his private car, the strain of what would have been a rather light day for a younger man was plainly visible. Slowly, almost shuffling, but still erect, he walked the entire length of the platform, while lines of school children sang the chorus, ‘‘Deutschland, Deutschland, Ueber Alles!” The president raised his hand in slow salute as they interrupted to shout “Hoch ” Still Keeps Schedule Although his great age is beginning to tell, Hindenburg still maintains his rigorous day’s schedule. He rises at 6. In the summer he goes for a walk in the palace gardens, accompanied by his shepherd dog, Rolf. Hindenburg’s passion for hunting is the one thing which he indulges. He is an excellent shot. Late in the summer he brought down a 21point buck on his grounds at Shorfheide. In August he goes to his favorite spot, Dietramszell, shut off in the mountains of Bavaria, where he loves to hunt mountain goats. No picture of Hindenburg would be complete without mention of his fondness for children—especially his son, Oskar’s, the two daughters and small son, Gertrude, 9; Helga, 7, and Hubertus, 3, who live at the palace.

Only One Hindenburg He has ten grandchildren in all, find one great grandchild, the grandson of his daughter, Frau von Brockhusen. He has one other daughter, wife of Major von Pentz. The families often visit in Berlin. Germany’s first lady is Frau Oskar von Hindenburg, who plans the official receptions and dinners. After Hindenburg, what? The question is almost impossible to answer now, for there is only one Hindenburg—only one man in whom opposition and conservatives alike aparently have such unbounded faith. A law extending his term of office has been proposed, but if he can not be persuaded to run, or if his death should occur, the cause of Republican Germany will have lost one of its staunchest bulwarks. SONS ADMINISTRATORS IN $525,000 ESTATE William and Warren Munk Are Heirs of Father, Mother. Letters of administration were issued in probate court Monday in the $525,000 estate left by Mr. and Mrs. Herman Munk of 1902 North Pennsylvania street. Mr. Munk, a retired furniture manufacturer, died Sept. 17, and his wife, Mrs. Ada Heilman Munk, died Sept. 12. The estate of Mr. Munk includes personal property totaling $200,000 and real estate valued at $150,000. Property of Mrs. Munk is estimated at $125,000 personal and $50,000 real estate. Neither left a will, so the estate will be divided between two sons. Warren H. Munk of 1902 North j Pennsylvania street and William E. Munk, 3419 North Pennsylvania street, who were named administrators. JEWRY TO OBSERVE FEAST OF SUKKOTH Synagogs to Hold Special Services for 7-Day Celebration.

JUST LITTLE LIGHT NOTHING IS GIVEN “Take My Advice,” a Poorly Written Play, Ends Brilliant Stock Season of Arthur Casey at English’s. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN JUST a light little nothing is “Take My Advice,” which is the closing bill for the brilliant Arthur Casey season at English's. This noisy and poorly written farce-comedy never had much body to it and the best company in the world would never make me like this play. In the first place the author is lucky to get more than two people talking together at any one time and if he has four on the stage at the same time two of them having nothing more to do than to hold their own hands. Whatever merit the play has rests in the way Freddie Sherman eats apples and displays his juvenile enthusiasm. The fact is, when Freddie

BY BEN STERN PROHIBITION rallies as a crowdgetting stunt are about as popular just now as a tax increase One of the best examples of what a flop a dry revival meeting can be was evidenced here a week ago, when Bert Morgan, former dry administrator, president of the Irvington Club, Leslie campaign manager, and aspirant for the chairmanship of the new Eleventh district, bosted one along. Bert, you must remember, is a real dry. He doesn’t drink, like many who give lip service to the prohibition cause, and really is sincere in its advocacy. Thus to him this three-day dry program at Cadle tabernacle was of great importance. It was also watched keenly by organized prohibition groups of the state, for they indicated the trend of thought on this question in Indiana. None can deny that the rallies here were a terrible flop. a tt tt An attendance of 197 was counted at the first meeting and the greater majority of those present belonged to the W. C. T. U., Indiana Anti-Sa-loon League, and other prohibition units. Five years ago, no, even three years ago. the tabernacle would have been packed by a dry conclave.What is the answer to the lack of interest in the recent meeting? Simply this, the majority of all classes feel that enforcement of the prohibition law is costing too much, and that depression relief would be afforded through at least the legalization of beer. You hear it at all political gatherings. Even the perfervid Hoosier dry win tell you confidentially that prohibition costs too much and that it is unenforceable. Leaders of the various dry organizations who derive their livelihood from contributions know that the depression has hit then’ exchequers and realize that unless something drastic is done by* the 1932 campaign there will be no donations. a tt tt This is consideration of the situation from the purely political standpoint. There won't be any money for the drys in 1932, and you can write that down in your little notebook —that is, unless the Democrats nominate a candidate for the presidency against whom bitter feeling can be aroused on other subjects besides prohibition. The one most affected by lack of interest in the dry revival meettings nere, besides the parasites of such organizations, is Senator Arthur R. Robinson, who is purely and simply the baby of the prohibition leaders to whom he gives lip service, and the klan. In an attempt to strengthen the foundation of Ns political career and fan the flame of prejudice, Robinson took a couple of shots at John J. Raskob in his address at Newcastle Friday night, but didn't get a hand. It’s a bad outlook for Arthur if the drjw are slipping and you can’t get votes through prejudice,

is busy he about walks away with the show. Jack Storey as a fake salesman of a dramtic acting school goes grandly along in a role which is a cross between the acting antics of the late Bert Savoy and a swan. He gets the laughs but I doubt if they are all with the character but more at him. No fault of Storey. Just the playwright to blame. Dorothy Rich, Walter Davis (very unsteady and slow in his part), Dick Elliott, Mildred Hastings and Joan Winters could not save this light hokum play. As I have reviewed this play in another season of stock it is not necessary to tell you about the story. If you like this one, then that is your great right. Ido not and never have. I can forgive Arthur Casey making at least one mistake in the choice of a play out of twenty-four. Be your own judge. Now at English’s. AIR AUDIENCES* ARE LOYAL TO FAVORITES If people like an entertainer on the air, they like him and that’s that. I was more impressed with that conviction by the way the audiences are receiving Segar Ellis,

WLW singer and pianist. Personally, Ellis is a nice looking lad, pleasant voice along modern singing lines, but he lacks stage showmanship. He makes no effort at reaching a climax and he does not vary his offering. He sings a song about not killing a fly because the little fly might be seeking its “it” mate. Certainly a

These people have class and ability. Nellie Arnaut and two brothers do a lot of things while playing violins and then finish with a good bird impression. The Arnaut family is noted for this. I sat so far back in the theater that I couldn't see all the names of the acts as flashed. Harvey, I think, is the name of a hokum clown. Extreme hoke.

Before cards v of “at home” are sent out by Mr. and Mrs. Herman Anthony Stahl of 1446 North Gladstone avenue, they’ll have to call the trashman, the secondhand dealer and get an automatic nail puller. The Stahls, bride and groom, were scheduled to arrive today to settle down in that “little nest” that the rest of the world goes by. They have been on a honeymoon in the east. During their absence their home was decorated in the above fashion by well-wishing relatives and friends. Signs were nailed over windows. A water-colored stork graced the front porch. " A baby-buggy topped the roof. A festoon of baby bottles, rubber tires and pans garnished the gutters along the roof.

TROOPS RUSHED TO QUELL lOWA FARMJJPRISING Revolt Flares Over Cow Test Law Again; 1,800 Soldiers Called. By United Press TIPTON. la.. Sept. 22. The rumble of marching men and the clatter of galloping horses heralded the arrival today of 1,800 national guardsmen as Cedar county went under martial law in lowa’s battle to enforce its compulsory bovine tuberculosis testing law. Mobilized from a score of cities, the troops arrived on special trams to quell a farmer revolt that has simmered for months in the courts and broken into open violence on several occasions. Monday afternoon the outbreak occurred that led to the militia call Sheriffs and deputies from eastern lowa counties went to the farm of Joe Lenker near Willow Junction. There were sixty-five officers, well armed and instructed to protect state veteranarians as they carried out the tests on Lenker’s cattle. At the Lenker farm they found a crowd of 400 angry farmers awaiting them. Some carried pitchforks, others clubs. All were determined to prevent the testing. The deputies hurled tear gas bombs, but the attack seemed only to aggravate the seething farmers. They staged a mad rush. Automobile tires were punctured with the pitchforks, car windows were smashed with the clubs, and the deputies themselves werte made the targets for mud the farmers were flinging on all sides. The deputies had orders not to open fire and they retreated without testing Lenker’s cattle. But the affair aroused Governor Dan W. Turner, in Washington

Frank’s life was saved after he was run down by a truck, but Bince June 4, 1931, he’s spent the major portion of his time in bed surrounded by nurses and doctors.

seeking federal aid in a campaign to boost the price of corn. Turner, who has spent long hours trying to solve the tuberculosis testing problem without resorting to force, called W. H. Bailey, adjutant-gen-eral. by telephone from Washington late Monday. “Mobilize the national guard,” Turner told Bailey. “I intend to go the limit in seeing that the law is carried out.”

and hospital costs in such a case range from nothing to $1,200. Owners of autos or their insurance companies must pay for failures to “save a minute.” And other than cost for care of injuries are the problematical law suits that dig deep into pocketbooks of individuals and corporations. “Lose a minute and save a life,” but if you won’t lose that minute to save a life or prevent injury of someone, then lose it to save your pocketbook.

CRAZED INMATE SOUGHT IN BAY DEATH MYSTERY Madman Theory in Coiflngs Slaying Leads to Hunt for Lunatic. By United Press HUNTINGTON, L. 1., Sept. 22. A shell-shocked r*ar veteran, co -id to be a paranoiac, was sought today by Suffolk county authorities for questioning in connection with the killing of Benjamin Codings and the kidnaping of Codings’ wife Lillin from their motor boat, the Penguin. nearly two weeks ago. District Attorney Alexander Blue, reviving the theory that the amazing drama aboard the Penguin could be only the work of a madman—a theory advanced by the Codings family—pinned little hope of solving the mystery, however, even if the lunatic is captured. Michael King, “who believes he is God,” escaped from the Kings Park hospital, twelve miles from the spot where the crime was committed, on Sept. 9. The murder was committed the following day by a man who answers Mrs. Codings’ description of “the elder of two pirates” who boarded the Penguin. Doubt that King was the elder pirate, however, was expressed Dy Dr. Charles S. Parker, assistant superintendent of the hospital. King had an impediment in his speech which was very noticeable. Parker said, and he felt sure that Mrs. Collings would have remembered that. She has not told of any such peculiarity of speech. Blue worked on another strong clew simultaneously today. The two men, it was reported, were known to Codings. This information was revealed after a two-hour conference between the young widow and Felix Di Martini, investigator.
