Memories City Will Pay Tribute to Woodrow Wilson at Film Showing.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES, presenting the Woodrow Wilson Film-Memorial today, is endeavoring to perform a service of lasting benefit to this city. Asa tribute to our war President, Woodrow Wilson, this screen masterpiece can not be surpassed. But that is only part of its value to the community. Its educational worth can not be expressed in mere laudatory words. It is a lesson in American and world history which years of high school and college study could not give, a vivid, compelling story of a decade that ranks in importance above any other since the dawn of civilization. It is a lesson of inestimable worth for every child, every man and every woman. Then, too, it Is presented with the worthiest of purposes—to help relieve the want into which many of the families of the city have been plunged during the last two years of depression. Proceeds, above expenses, will go to the made-work committee, to aid the city’s jobless. Asa cinema spectacle alone, the picture is xorth many times the price of admission to Keith's theater, where showings will be given at 2,4, 6 and Bp. m. today. But the entertainment of the moment sinks into insignificance compared with Its value in manifold other ways which will remain with all who see it. n n tt IN smashing dramatic situations, in pathos, in tragedy, in minute fidelity to detail, it is doubtful if any other picture as great as this one ever has been filmed. Starting with Woodrow Wilson in Princeton, then in the Governor’s chair in New Jersey, following his career through his election as President of the United States, through the stormy days preceding America's entrance into the World war, then through the great conflict and the days of tragedy following, until Wilson rests at last in his grave, it is an epic of the screen. You have seen “All Quiet on the Western Front,’’ "Wings,” and a score of other marvelous war pictures, but in none of them did you witness any war scenes more compelling, more true, none carrying a greater lesson for peace than in the Woodrow Wilson Film-Memo-rial. Many who never saw him before will see thb war-time President today more intimately than they ever could have been permitted to see him while alive. His faithful followers will spend hours of the closest possible companionship with the man who, above all other men of this epoch, provided such an example of unselfish service as will stand as a model for all other men for all time. tt tt TODAY’S audience will be alternately applauding and weeping as it follows the war-tiipe leader, first of all up to the pinnacle of his prodigious success, when he literally was worshipped by the world, and then down into the depths, where he is revealed deserted by his own people, dying eventually the death of a martyr to his ideals. At times the assembly will give tumUlous ovations. At other times, during the tense scenes, it will be as silent as a cathedral. It Is urged again that every one reach the place of presentation a little before time. This will serve to make handling the crowds easier, insuring seats promptly to as many as possible, and it also will enable patrons to witness the Film-Memorial in its natural, historical sequence, from beginning to end. Today's presentation of the Woodrow Wilson Film-Memorial is being given for the double purpose of enabling citizens to witness the inspiring picture and, simultaneously, procuring a perpetual copy of it for the community. Admittance fee for adults is 50 cents and for children, 25 cents. Tickets will be sold only at the entrance when seats are available.

INDIANA TEAMS IN NATION’S 2 BIG GRID TILTS Purdue Faces Wildcats of Northwestern: Army Is . Notre Dame Foe. TEN PURPLE MEN HURT Elevator Falls in Chicago Hotel: Quarter Back May Not Play. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—Northwestern, Big Ten champion and only undefeated team in the midwest, | faced Purdue, beaten only once this : year, in a charity post-season game j in Soldiers field today. The weather forecast of rain j threatened to hold the crowd to 40,000 and turn the field into a j sodden gridiron similar to the one on which Northwestern battled Notre Dame to a 0-0 tie in October. Altnough ten Northwestern players were injured slightly Friday night in the fall of an elevator in the Chicago Beach hotel, where the team spent the night, it was not believed today the mishap would affect the team’s chances seriously. Os the seven regulars aboard the elevator, only George Potter, quarter back, received injuries which threatened to keep him out of the lineup today. Potter suffered a sprained leg and a pulled tendon. His place at quarter probably will be filled by Lewis. Northwestern must win to protect the first undisputed Big Ten football title ever won by the Wildcats. It Northwestern loses, a two, three or four-way tie might result. Victory for Northwestern will get the Evanston eleven an invitation to meet Southern California in the Tournament of Roses game at Pasadena, Cal., New Year’s day. The Wildcats ruled a 7-to-5 favorite because of superior power and weight.

Notre Dame Is Favorite By United Press * NEW YORK. Nov. 28.—Overcast skies and a temperature just above the freezing mark greeted the football players of Army and Notre Dame as they prepared to renew a traditional rivalry at Yankee stadium today.

Marchy Schwartz the greatest threat to Army's hope of ending its string of defeats by Notre Dame. The brilliant half back is a unanimous choice for 1931 all-America honors and is keyed for an effort to make his final collegiate gridiron appearance a notable one. Schwartz and his mates enter the game as 7 to 5 favorites.

Typical Zuni Indians are shown in the upper picture talking over the problems of the day. A street scene in the tribal town, in the second picture is much as it was 400 years ago. The map on the right shows the location of the Zuni and Navajo reservations in New Mexico and Arizona. Their, territory principally is a barren waste, suited only for grazing sheep, goats and other animals able to climb the steep sides of the mesas for their food. Relief Parties Fighting Way Through Snow Send Back. No Word. By United Press MANUELITO. N. M„ Nov. 28. The season of Kishmus Yazhie today brought terror and despair in place of the traditional • >y of the Navajo Indians’ “Little Christmas” as 500 tribesmen faced possible death on the snow-blocked Cerro Alto and Santa Rita mesas. A great blizzard, long ahead of schedule, trapped the Indians during the annual pinon nut harvest, turning the customary Thanksgiving to anguish and mourning. Members of almost every family in the big Navajo tribe are among the 500 who have dared death to guard their crop of nuts—which represent wealth to the Indians. Bitterly cold weather, with temperatures of 25 degrees below zero, will, it is feared, take a toll among the poorly dressed tribesmen. Seven already have perished. Can Eat Horses Fears that the Indians would starve was lightened today by veteran Indian traders. Mike Kirk, proprietor of the trading post at Manuelito, scoffed at the thought of starvation. “Why should they starve?” he asked. “They have their horses. Horse meat is a delicacy among the Indians. If there is any question of starving, the tribesmen will slaughter horses to get sufficient meat on which to live.” But even Kirk, who knows the hardiness of the Indians and their ability at woodcraft, feared the temperature. “In twenty years with the Navajos, I never have seen such a storm,” he told the* United Press. "The temperature here was 19 degrees below zero yesterday. On those high mesas it must have been at least 25 degrees below. It must be even worse than the terrible year of 1918. when the Kishmus Zazhi was turned to horror by influenza. Whole families were stricken and perished while harvesting the pinon nuts that year.” No Word From Rescuers No word had come today from the numerous relief parties which for forty-eight hours have been battering their ways through with food and clothing. Until some rescuers return, the full story of the tragedy can not be told. Most Indian officials believe there have been additional deaths among the Indians on the mesas, already. There is no way to tell how man families are scattered throughout the area of the harvest, unable to consolidate with the main groups. These smaller groups must have suffered more than the main body.

Holohan's office about noon.

Body of Stage Star Found in Hotel Room: Query Ina Claire. By United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Robert Ames, 42, and Ina Claire, stage and screen stars, and off-stage sweethearts, had set today for a decision on whether they would appear together in the only roles of a projected Broadway drama. They were cast instead in the leading parts of a drama of life and death—Ames dead under mysterious circumstances, with an autopsy set for today in New York; Miss Claire prostrated by grief in Hollywood Ames came east last Tuesday from the coast, where he had been linked romantically with Miss Claire, former wife of John Gilbert. He had conferred with Tom Van Dyke on the latter's play, “Interview,” and was enthusiastic over its possibilities. Miss Claire, it was understood, was rot so enthusiastic. Whisky Bottles In Room Success of the couple in the film play “Rebound” was believed to have led to their consideration as the stars of “Interview.” Ames’ body was found by a chambermaid in the Hotel Delmonico several hours after the actor had died. Dr. Eugene Marcovici. the hotel physician, said death resulted from a bladder hemorragp. Police found six whisky bottles in the room and one, partly filled, was removed for analysis. Miss Claire, who had been seen with Ames frequently in the last few months, was asked by wire to describe the actor’s mental condition. This request from police was made after they learned Ames and Miss Claire talked to each other by long distance telephone between New York and Hollywood Friday. Visited by Father Thursday -night Ames was visited by pis father, Louis Ames, of Hartford, Conn., and Allen Fagin, Miss Claire’s brother. The three had Thanksgiving dinner and they left together to take the elder Ames to the station, where he boarded a train for home. Fagin told police that the /actor left him at the station with the laughing assertion! “I’ve got to go back to the hotel. I’ve got a date with one of my former wives.” Ames did not mention which one of his four former wives he meant, Fagin said.

Secretary of State Scored for ‘Precipitate Action' in Far East Crisis. VIGOROUS DENIAL MADE Accusations Are Serious If He Was Quoted Correctly, Says Foreign Office. By United Press TOKIO, Nov. 28. —The Japanese foreign office issued a vigorou* statement today, denouncing Secretary of State Stimson on the basis of a press association dispatch quoting Stimson as criticizing Japan’s action in the Chinchow area, Stimson was quoted as saying h® could not understand reports that Japanese troops were moving on Chinchow, in view of definite assurances given him that Chinchow would not be attacked. Stimson also revealed, according to the press report received at tha foreign office, that he had asked Ambassador W. Cameron Forbes to call the attention of Foreign Minister Baron Shidehara to the situation and that the ambassador was assured that there would be no hostile action toward Chinchow. The foreign office statement was made on the basis of an Associated Press dispatch delivered to Baron Shidehara through the Japanese Rengo agency. Received With Regret The foreign office statement said: "Mr. Stimson's precipitate action In disclosing confidential exchanges between Ambassador Forbes and Baron Shidehara was received here with mingled surprise and regret. "He is reported to have said that he was unable to understand reports that the Japanese army was approaching Chinchow, and that state department dispatches throw no light on t*he situation. "On what basis, then, does he fly into such fulminations as reported by the Associated Press? If a man in Mr. Stimson's responsible position loses his head at such a critical moment as the present, the consequences would be very grave indeed.” “Mr. Stimson's statement, if the Associated Press quoted him correctly, shows- that he was misinformed in manner and also in matter. It contains serious accusations Japan and her motives. Statement, Held Misleading • "The Japanese government is expected to make a public statement refuting al ithese accusations, after referring the matter to Ambassador Debuchi at Washington and securing more accurate information. Meanwhile, we wish to {joint out the strong points calling for immediate denial. "Mr. Stimson is quoted as saying that Japan expressed regret, and said that such events would not happen again, each time an advance was made in Manchuria. That is quite misleading. Japan never has expressed regret to anybody for actions forced on her by sheer necessity of self-presrvation, nor can she ever promise not to act in self-defense again. “Mr. Stimson is quoted as saying that the Japanese army in Manchuria ran amuck. This is considered a very bold statement. W® wonder if he considered the meaning of his words before he used them.” Want His Reasons “Mr. Stimson is quoted as accusing Japan of intending to tak® Manclfuria completely. He ought to give his reasons for thinking so.” After reading the statement to foreign correspondents, a foreign office spokesman said: "If Mr. Stimson intends to invoke the nine-power treaty, as the Associated Press says, we suggest that he reread Article Four. “Japan regards the acts of Chang Mseuth-Liang s government as inimical to the secuirty of Japan. If Washington intends interfering in the Manchurian affair, this is inimical to Japanese security. Stiffens Chinese Stand "Mr. Stimson's rash statement, if the Associated Press quoted him correctly, will stiffen China's attitude around Chinehow and caus® the Chinese concentrations not to withdraw. We presume that alarmists reports abroad yesterday caused Mr. Stimson fb make his statement.” The spokesman said the statement was the more unfortunate because it came at a time when negotiations were proceeding through the French and Britis hambassadors and Aristide Briand for withdrawal of Chang Hseuh-Liang's troops inside the Great Wall. The spokesman asked foreign correspondents if they considered the report given the foreign office correct. The Associated Press representative noted that Stimson had not been quoted directly.
