RECTOR KISSES I ‘INNOCENT KIND,' PRELATES TOLD Beauties Will Testify in Church Prosecution of Morals Case. • I mini Preut LONDON. May 19.—A beauty parade to the witness stand In Norwich consistory court was counted upon today by the Rev. Harold Francis Davidson. 60-year-old rector of Stiflkey. to prove him innocent of grave charges of immorality. , The rector’s trial was resumed today after an adjournment from April 7 to allow the rector to raise funds for his defense. Mr. Davidson considered doing a vaudeville act, but the Variety \rtists’ Federation objected. He was believed to have obtained sufficient funds, however, to retain the services of his counsel, R. F. Levy. The rector reached church house forty-five minutes late and walked slowly through a battery of news photographers, uneasy, mopping hb> : brow and looking about nervously, i Then he settled in his chair to listen j to Levy's speech based on the unworthiness of the testimony against the rector. The gallery was packed with spectators. mostly young women and grils, with a few clergymen leaning intently over the rail. Women spectators were greatly amused when Levy sought to explain the rector's habit of kissing women acquaintances. Levy said the kisses "were purely a sign of appreciation" and continued his explanation: "Mr. Davidson kissed his landlady. He kissed his landlady's daughter. He kissed women in distress. He kissed those who did things for him. “He kissed all sorts of people. "I admit that he is foolish, a very unusual and very unconventional person, bnt he is not immoral. Remember that hir kisses were always on the chenk or forehead.” Levysaid. The rector blushed when his counsel told how- he had the habit of kissing waitresses in restaurants before hundreds of people. He did much of his kissing in public places. “He is utterly thoughtless of appearance," Levy explained. “It is all simply explained w-hen you know the temperament of this man.’’ The trial was adjourned until Friday, when Levy will continue his opening speech. Davidson probably will testify after that. The rector sat passive all afternoon. Barbara Harris, in green hat and black coat with fox fur, entered after the lunch interval and sat in the front rows, The rector of Stiffkey (pronounced Stew-kyi was confident that he haci mustered enough beautiful young girls to testify that his efforts at - rescue work" were genuine. The village of Stiffkey, population 500, remained divided over the question of the rector's innocence, but few came forward openly to defend him, preferring to await the judgment of the consistory court.

THE INDIANAPOLIS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

FRANK P. MANLY, President A Message The Indianapolis Life Insurance Company is now in its twenty-seventh year. It is in a mo6t prosperous conditon, and Shows healthy increases in every department. OWNERSHlP—Ownership of the Company is vested In perpetuity in the whole body of Policyholders. It can not be bought, sold or traded. Savings and profits belong to Policyholders. There are no Stockholders. COMPANY INVESTMENTS—Assets are invested in nonspeculative securities, mainly in first mortgages, under Indiana's strict insurance laws, and under the scrutiny of the State Insurance Department. These securities are deposited with the State for additional safety. DEATHS—We have experienced another year of low mortality. due to sound underwriting practices. Our Policyholders are a select class—more than 50,000 representative citizens, and growing steadily. Death claims are paid promptly. No contested claims. DIVIDENDS—From the start, the Company has paid liberal annual dividends, and seven Extra Dividends, all due to economical management, profitable investments, careful selection of risks, sound practices, and the observance of the spirit of mutuality. GROWTH —Its carefully selected and well organized field force is qualified to give sound Life Insurance advice and the best service. Our slogan is “How well may we serve” rather than “How many.” And always Safety First. Therefore, we have entered no race for size. The growth has been uniformly steady, gradually expanding into new territory. We are now in ten states. It is significant that our best patronage is in our home city, Indianapolis, with $23,500,000.00 in force, and in our home state Indiana, with $48,000,000.00. VALUE OF LIFE INSURANCE—At this time of investment uncertainty, it is timely to call attentiton to the safety and soundness of Life Insurance as an investment. It is the surest and safest ever devised. It is not for profit in the usual sense. It protects and perpetuates the family, and the home, while creating, almost compelling, a systematic, sure saving for declining years. WE REAFFIRM OUR PLEDGE: “To keep within the lines of safe underwriting; to indulge In no doubtful experiments; to observe the spirit of Mutuality. with all Policyholders on a plane of equality, with ho ‘special’ or privileged classes; to keep quality, service and safety above size; to keep the Company, in the future as in the past, in the middle of the charted road, steadfastly adhering to the tried and tested principles and practices of sound life insurance.” FRANK P. MANLY, President. 1931

HISTORY FILLED WITH TALES OF FAKERS'DEEOS But Curtis, Hoax Master, Played to Largest Audience. By Untied Pre*s NEW YORK. May 19.—John Hughes Curtis, playing to perhaps the greatest audience that ever fell for a hoax, has a long line of predecessors in history. From Ann&nias to Edgar Allan Poe, from the cat hoax of England to moon hoax of America, the records are laden with fakes and frauds. There was Dr. Fredrick A. Cook. In 1907, he went off to Greenland, bound for the north pole. Nobody heard from him for two years. Then he appeared in Denmark with a story of having reached the pole. Kings and cheering throngs received him and listened in popeyed amazement as he told how he persuaded the Eskimos to accompany him by feeding them gum drops. “They liked the colors.” he said. But science exposed him as a faker. Ethan Allen Weinberg was one of the greatest impersonators in the world. He could change from prince to diplomat, from merchant king to naval officer in less time than it takes to tell. He posed as Pola Negri's secretary. He started on tour with Queen Marie of Rumania. He escorted Prices* Fatima of Afghanistan to

the White House to meet President Harding. One recalls that onjy two years ago the Cornell Daily Sun set the whole country laughing with its fictitious character, Hugo. N. Frye, “pioneer Republican" of upstate j New York# Hugo was non-existent, but 1 prominent men in public life fell for congratulations on his anniversary. There cOmes to mind also the attempted suicide of the beautiful dancer, Simone Rose ray, who supposedly attempted to drown herself in Central park lake because ot her great love for Vincent Lopez. The headlines flared for twentyfour hours, then word got around ! it all was a hoax. A year after Gertrude Ederle , swam the English channel. Dorothy ' Logan staggered ashore at Folkestone. claiming a record of 13 hours and 20 minutes. England was thrilled and proud, until the young woman admitted she had crossed in a boat. In the fall of 1926. one Frank Power announced he had found the body of Lord Kitchener, who had been lost at sea. The casket was shipped from Norway. When it was opened it was empty. , A New York paper published in 1835 fantastic descriptions of the surface of the moon as purported to have been seen by Sir John Herschel at his observatory on the Cape of Good Hope. The story all was written in Brooklyn, however, by Richard Adams Locke. Famous British Comedian Dies Bij United Prr* LONDON, May 19.—Harry Randall. famous star of the old-time English music halls, and for many years leading comedian of the annual Christmas holidays pantomime at the Drury Lane theater, died today. He was 72.
