STOCK DEAL WAS FIZZLE, WATSON SAYS Senator Asserts He Really Is Loser, in Connection With Sugar ‘Flier/ (Continued from Page 1) preferred of the South Coast Sugar Company. Watson was required to sign the two notes aggregating $25,000, with the understanding that no interest was to be charged and that Watson's “liability on the notes is limited entirely to the stock.” The shares, together with the unsigned notes, were sent to Wason, by registered mail, in an envelope marked “personal,” addressed in care of the senate office building. Washington. Watson signed the notes and returned them with the stock, which was to serve as collateral. May 14, 1928, Watson wrote to Dahlberg, “I return herewith certificates of stock and notes properly signed. Reserves Letter for Self “I accept the stock under the conditions prescribed in your letter, which I am reserving for myself. “I certainly thank you for your kind consideration, which I most heartily appreciate and wish you unbounded success.” Aug. 14, 1929, Dahlberg wrote Watson that he had sold the shares in the sugar companies, and returned the two notes marked “canceled,” together with 500 shares of common stock of the Dahlberg Corporation of America, which represented Watson’s “profit” in the deal. Soon after the committee recessed Monday, Watson was informed of the evidence. He made the following statement to the press: “Early In 1928 I gave my note for stock in one of Dahlberg’s companies. The stock is of no account, or worth nothing, and neither is my note. Therefore the score is nothing to nothing—no hits, no runs, two errors. “One error I made when I bought the stock, and the other error Dahlberg made when he took my notes. This was a purely private business transaction and had no relation to legislation, past, present or future.” Employes for Railroad Parley In elaboration of this statement, Watson gave the following account of his dealings with Dahlberg: “It came about this way. In 1927, after congress adjourned, Dahlberg, who is an old friend of mine, came to me and asked me to try to settle some suits he had against four railroad companies. “The suits came about as result of excessive freight rates, which had been declared illegal. Several of the railroads had made refunds of excessive charges, but four refused to compromise. Dahlberg offered me a handsome fee, and employed me as a lawyer. “Well, I spent nearly all that summer talking with first one railroad president and then another, but I couldn’t get them to compromise. The cases still are pending in court. “I was to get the fee if I settled the suits, but I failed, and so I thought I at least would get my traveling expenses. Was Given Stock “So I went to Dahlberg and he said to me, ‘Now you spent a lot of time on this, and I want to do something for you. I want you to take some stock in my companies. You don't need to put up any money. Just give your personal note, and I’ll carry you.’ “You know I don’t know much about business matters, so I said to Dahlberg: ‘Just as you say. You handle it for me. If we make any profits on the stock you can turn over the proceeds to me, and if we lose anything you can just tell me how much I owe you.’ Just Lost His Money “So that’s that. I didn’t pay any more attention to the deal. Dahlberg swapped the stocks from one company to another, and the stocks I now have aren’t worth anything. The net result is that I lost the money and time I spent in traveling that summer.” Asked whether he would request permission to explain the matter to the lobby committee, Watson said: “No, it was only a personal matter between Dahlberg and myself. It had nothing to do with the senate. If the committee had asked me about it I would have been glad to explain. I have nothing to conceal.” GAMBLERS CONVICTED, PUT ON PROBATION Fines for Seven Caught in Hotel Raid Are Suspended.

SANTA CLAUS IS NOT SO VERY DIFFERENT Jay Mills and Flo Robinson Brings a Different Sort of Nutty Comedy to the Vaudeville Stage Today. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THERE is nutty comedy and nutty comedians of many different brands but I am going to elect the first time in many months anew comedy team to my very own Hall of Fame. Meaning that Jay Mills and Flo Robinson now have seats in my very private nail of fame And both bow in together as both have a right to be considered because Mills and Miss Robinson need each other in putting over their own brand of eccentric comedy. When proceedings get to the point that rhyme nor reason count, Miss Robinson asks Mills what is the difference between Santa Claus and Mr. Hoover. After the customary wait, then

Miss Robinson answers—“ Both have beards except Mr. Hoover.” Maybe I am crazy and maybe it is only Mills. In cold type this may not be funny but wait until you hear and

see this team dress that remark and many other in a comedy style that is individual, smart and different. Sc much so that they stop the show. And they deserve it. And also watch this woman dance. Yes, yes and several more of the same brand. Anew polish and sophisticated understanding has come into the work and personality of

REVIEW CHARITY DRIVE REPORTS Federal Aid Advocates Seek Ammunition for Congress. By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—1n the ten-day period beginning Wednesday the success of the administration’s effort to have local communities provide their own unemployment relief will be studied by those demanding relief, and upon the results will depend the course of that controversy in congress. The welfare and relief mobilization, the chief national campaign sponsored by the President’s organization on unemployment relief, will end Wednesday, >ut the organization intends to continue work throughout the year. The mobilization was organized with the community chests of the country as the basis. To these cities were added others, so that the national chest organization was made responsible for drives in 513 communities. Reports to date on completed drives have been made on only a few more than a 100 cities. While these cities have been fairly successful, only a part of the funds they raised will go for direct relief of the unemployed, a large share of their money being intended, as heretofore, to carry on the work of welfare, character-building, and other agencies.

The children are going to like the pony with Mary Palmer. Also the other splendid pets. The De Toregos go in lor dancing that is not different from their work when I have seen them in other seasons.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MEN GIVE FINE PROGRAM AT FIRSTCONCERT Maennerchor Triumps in the Singing of a Grand Number. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN Will probably always remember the way the Indianapolis Maennerchor sang “Kamerad Komra,” That memory is with me now as you read this account of the opening concert of the Indianapolis Maennerchor. And the audience was no different than I was. I wanted to hear it again and Karl Reckzeh, director, permitted tfye singers to again create the haunting rhythem of a cry to penetrate the hall. Not only the melody, the swing of its very being but the way the men got into this song under the direction of Reckzeh was what counted. These men stirred me as they have: never moved me before. They sing because they like to sing. At least that is the way they impress me. They were in fine singing form last night. As far as I am concerned (and be your own judge if you were there last night) they triumphed over the assisting artist —Elisabeth Schumann. I heard all of the concert last night but the first group of the chorus and the first group of the guest singer. The men (and I have heard them for years) seemed to have anew spirit in this concert.

Eczema on Both Hands. Lost Sleep. Healed by Cuticura. "Eczema broke out on both of my hands. It was in a rash and itched so that I had to scratch it and when I did the trouble spread. I could not put my hands in water on account of -it. Then it started to bum and I could not sleep at night. The trouble lasted about three months. “ I tried different remedies but none of them seemed to help me.

united effort which gave results. Maybe the program was chosen with a better regard to the entire effect. There were several things that Elizabeth Schumann did beautifully. Her voice is not of grand opera dimensions. This is the first time I have heard her. She did not move me at any time. In the high register she brings color and true tone. And then when she attempted a lower register much was missing. But her recetpion last night completely reverses my own opinion. But there is no difference of opinion regarding the fine work of the men under the direction of Reckzeh. Yes, A success.
