BONUS T3OOPS PITCH CAMP ON CAPITOL LAWNS Hundreds Join Westerners as They Stick to Posts on Grounds. /<,/ I nitrd Pres* WASHINGTON, July 113. The siege of the United States capitol by veterans determined to bivouack on the capitol grounds until congress adjourns was strengthened today by reinforcements from the main camp of the Bonus Expeditionary Force. Several hundred veterans from Oregon, headed by a bugle and drum corps and marching briskly, moved into the capitol area as a meager breakfast of weak coffee, bread and “hot dogs” was ladled out to the 700 men who had spent the night on the pavements and lawns about the capitol building. The breakfast which appeared far short of the quantity necessary to feed all the men on the capitol grounds, was brought up from the downtown camp of the California contingent. It was handed out as the men stood quietly in line. More food was due later for the Oregon men. ‘Success Just About Here’ Urban Lendox, the famous “Mr. Zero” of Manhattan bread lines, told the veterans he had obtained 17,100 pounds of beans. He said 15,000 pounds additional had been arranged for and were on the way from New York by truck, accompanied by a guard of Michigan veterans “to keep them from being hijacked by our enemies.” “Success is just about here,” he shouted. "You felt it in the grass Tuesday night and you felt it in the stone steps. Keep it up and you’ll get your bonus.” Roy Petrie, red-headed marine, commanding the Oregon division which joined the California army Tuesday and rejoined today after a night at their barracks, said: Mess Bugle Assemble Call. “Our iuea is a peaceful rebellion to prevent a bloody revolution. Those fallows in congress there have never been among men who are hungry. If they had they would see our point.” Petrie told his men the mess bugle would be assembly call. “There might not be any food, but come around when you hear it,” he said. Authorities repeatedly tried to persuade the veterans to leave Tuesday, but they stood fast. They were told they would have to stay off the grass. “All right,” the men replied. "We’ll sleep standing up on the sidewalks if necessary.” In the face of such determination, police finally let them sprawl out on the capitol lawns. Idea of Californians The capitol encampment was the idea of the newly-arrived California regiment of 450. These men declined to affiliate with the main bonus army, and join the big camp on the Anacostia flats two miles from the capitol. “I can’t see the sense of camping out in the country hoping for sometiling to happen,” explained Roy Robertson, the California leader. “At least congress will know we are here.” Later about 200 members of the original Oregon contingent joined the Californians on the capitol grounds, and sixty or seventy straggled in from other bonus camps despite Commander-in-Chief Water’s opposition to the demonstration. 300 Take Tickets Home The objective of the men camped at the Capitol is payment of the bonus only to those veterans who are unemployed and certified to be in want. Representative Wright Patman (Dem„ Tex.), author of the original $2,400,000,000 measure for full payment of the bonus to all World war veterans, promised to introduce such a bill today. His first bill was passed by the house and killed by the senate. Only 300 veterans applied Tuesday for transportation home under the government’s offer to loan them railroad fare. The offer expires at midnight Thursday. Applications so far total 1.479. Bonus Marchers Here Asking only a place to camp and build their fires, a party -of bonus marchers, forty-one days on the road from California, arrived in the city Tuesday night, and were escorted by police to Indianola park. The group of forty-two men, three women and five children, plans to leave the camp tonight and continue to Washington. During the day they wilj. remain at the park. Eleven trucks and automobiles, augmented by an army field kitchen, provides means of transportation for the party and their food supplies. CLUB TO_AID CAMPERS Kiwanians to Provide Transportation to Salvation Army Resort. One hundred mothers and children will be given transportation this week to ‘ the Salvation Army fresh air camp northeast of the city by members of the Kiwanis Club, Major W. R. Conway has announced. Transportation for those now at the camp is being furnished by the Exchange Club. Next week the Rotary Club will provide automobiles.

FILMS BEST Mae Murray Likes Happy Endings

BY EVELYN SEELEY Times Staff Writer NEW YORK, July 13.—Sophistication, in the words of Mae Murray, is like bird seed in an old and empty cage. “What people want really,” said Miss Murray, “is pictures and plays with old-fashioned happy endings. “The sophisticates have decided that beauty and happiness and love are illusions, not realties. I’m not a sophisticated person. I think that all these man-made miseries are illusions. It all depends on your definitions.” Miss Murray “just sneaked into New York,” she said, for business reasons. Two radio propositions, one of them concerned with television; anew picture—an unsophisromantic and lovely one, she hopes. Recognized by Old Friends She came alone and she thought that in the anonymity of Park and Fifth avenues and the great open spaces of the Waldorf-Astoria she would remain obscure. But as she walked across Central park and down to her hotel—she walks everywhere in New York within twenty blocks—taxi drivers and messenger boys, middle-aged and young couples strolling stbpped and smiled at her as at a suddenly seen friend. "You know what they’re thinking?” she asked. “They’re remembering the ‘Merry Widow Waltz.’ They always think of me in that role because it’s glamorous and romantic and familiar. “That’s why, although I’ve done a lot of pictures before and since, they remember me in that one. Thrilling, but “Scary" “It’s a thrilling thing, you know, but frightening. After they’ve seen you in pictures for a while, you belong to them. That's why I think pictures ought to be idealistic and fine; they influence so many lives ” Miss Murray does not worry her platinum blond head or wrinkle her smooth white forehead over the depression. “It was absolutely inevitable,” she declared emphatically. “People had to be shaken out of their money worship. It won’t end until it has transformed the philosophy of the whole social structure. “And even if it shakes those at the bottom first, eventually it will shake those at the top out of their materialistic complacency.” HURT IN STEPS TUMBLE Mrs. Mattie Pate Faints and Falls; Elderly Woman Drops in Well.

Governor Pinchot Is Champion of Lowly Caip; Declared Good Food

BY GIFFORD PINCHOT Governor of Pennsylvania Harrisburg, pa., July 13.—“ it is not true that the thing to do with a carp after it has been prepared for the table is to throw it into the refuse can. “Carp, when properly prepared, are as edible as other species of fish taken from clean, fresh water streams. Plentiful in most warm streams, they offer a worthwhile food supply. “The secret of a carp as a food fish lies primarily in the preparation. When caught they should either be kept alive as long as possible on a stringer, or be killed and dressed immediately. “To prepare them for the table, they should be skinned and drawn. Fins should

be removed by cutting deeply around them. Cut spring of the rod will tire it eventually. into thin steaks, the flesh should soak in weak salt Carp have tender mouths, and the trick is ' - water over night. land them after hooking."

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DEBTS POLICY SHIFT DENIED BYSTIMSON Congressional and Public Sentiment Seen Against Any Reduction. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD I'nited Press Staff Corr.-sjK>ndent WASHINGTON, July 13.—The administration is convinced that both congressional and public sentiment are strongly opposed now to reduction in Europe’s $11,000,000,000 war debts. Latest evidence of this spirit is senatorial reaction to reports from London, later modified, that American envoy gave quiet assurance that the United States would treat its debtors liberally, if they forgave German reparations. Senator Hiram Johnson <Rep., Cal.) bitterly attacked the administration’s debt policy late Tuesday especially denouncing secret negotiations. State Secretary Stimson denied that the debtors had been given any assurance. He insisted the administration's war debt policy is unchanged. This policy, briefly, is “no cancellation, and collection to the extent of capacity to pay.” Built on Sand Yet many administration leaders are convinced that the war debt system, like reparations, is built on sand. Many of them doubt that Europe, with the exception of a few countries, will pay the 1932-33 debt installment totaling $270,000,000. And many more of them are sure that the grandchildren of present day Englishmen, Frenchmen and Italians are not going to pay for a war that their forefathers fought. The debt payments run for fifty more years. The belief is growing in some administration quarters that settlement of the debt question may depend on disarmament. Time and again the state department and White House have denied that American diplomats are trying to trade gold for sunken European battleships and disbanded regiments. Such a trade, one high official said recently, would be an insult to the debtor nations. Share Borah’s Views But the relation seen by some officials between disarmament and war debts is through American public opinion. They believe that the average American shares Senator Borah’s views that as long as Europe can spend billions on battleships, artillery and soldiers, it can pay millions on war debts. Senator Johnson, who fought the one-year moratorium tooth and nail last December, shared the view that the coming debt installments will not be paid. PAY BOOSTS SOUGHT County Chiefs ‘Shocked’ by Budget Requests. Asserting all county departments must cut expenses for 1933, county commissioners today declared they were “shocked by budget requests, asking thousands of dollars in increased appropriations.” The board criticised officials for seeking budget boosts “in times like these.” With few exceptions, department heads who submitted budget estimates Monday and today, asked for salary increases for their employes. Commissioners indicated they would oppose attempt v of Sheriff Charles L. Sumner to get an appropriation of . 28,000 to restore his road patrol, abolished by the council last year. Additional help, as well as increased pay for employes, was asked i nthe budget request of Juvenile Judge John F. Geckler. ARRANGE LEADER PICNIC Store to Close Early on Thursday for Broad Ripple Outing. Management of the Leader store, 149 East Washington street, will be host to employes and their friends at the third annual picnic of the organization to be held Thursday at Broad Ripple. The store will close at 4, and special busses will be provided to transport the guests to the park, according to H. S. Passmore, personnel manager, who is in charge of arrangements. A program of contests, for which prizes will be awarded, is being arranged by Passmore. RENAMED SHOW HEAD Allison Re-Elected Chairman of Realtor Committee. Robert Allison was re-elected chairman of the home show committee of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board Tuesday at a meting of the committee at the Washington. Albert E.

“Carp steaks should be rolled in com meal, flour or cracker dust, placed in a covered skillet with bacon grease and fried to a crisp brown. “Fishermen, who know how to prepare carp, catch large quantities and salt them down. * “Early morning is the best time to fish for carp. An effective method is to scatter a quantity of corn in the pool where a school is observed, the evening before fishing. Sweet corn and douehballs. composed of cornmeal, molasses and water, are effective lures. “In the line of equipment, a strong springly pole, short-shank eyed hooks, and strong tackle are essential.

Mrs. Darrell Dodds and her son Tommy. Wife Sticks to Husband Accused in 7-Year-old Murder. Passive under the heavy hand of tragedy, Mrs. Darrell Dodds, 785 Lynn street, believes her husband innocent of a murder he is accused of having committed in Dolan, Ind., seven years ago, and lays her hopes for his freedom in the One Great Judge. Os the details of the crime charged to her husband, and for which he was arrested and returned to Bloomington Tuesday night, she remembers little. But she knows that a loyal wife and a three-months-old son, Thomas Darrell, will stick by Dodds until the end. “It’s been so long ago I can’t remember about John Campbell being killed,” she said. “But I know Darrell didn’t do it. We weren’t married then, and I never knew much about the killing. I thought it was on account of jealousy.” Dodds was arrested while making plans to hitch-hike with his family to Jackson, Mich., where his wife said he worked six or seven years. He had been unable to find employment here. “I don’t see how they can do anything to him,” she said. “They arrested him once and let him go. He didn’t do it. But, after, all, there’s only one Judge, and He knows who did it. The guilty one always gets found out.” AUDITOR FOUND DEAD IN DOWNTOWN HOTEL Louis Davis, 61, Chicago, Dies of Heart Attack.

HAMILTON ALIBI IS UPHELD BY FATHEUISTER Defense Opens Court Fight to Save Alleged Killer of Jackson. P.y Science Service LEBANON, Ind., July 13.—Father and sister of Louis E. Hamilton were the only witnesses during the morning session today of his trial in Boone circuit court here on a charge of murdering Lafayette A. Jackson, Indianapolis chain grocery owner. The father. J. H. Hamilton, and the sister, Mrs. Margaret Krupp, testified in support of an alibi to the effect that on May 27, 1931, the day Jackson was shot fatally in his main store at Indianapolis, Louis Hamilton was in lola, Kan., his home town. Letter Stirs Battle Witnesses stated that Hamilton arrived in lola the afternoon of May 27, accompanied by a couple then known as Mr. and Mrs. Carl Irwin, but who were Charles Vernon Witt and wife. Witt is awaiting execution Aug. 1 for the murder of Jackson. Testimony of the elder Hamilton and Mrs. Krupp corroborated that of other witnesses to the effect that they fix the date of Hamilton’s arrival in lola by the fact that it was the birthday of his brother, Max, and a celebration was held. Testimony of another sister of the defendant, Miss Grace Hamilton, 17, along with a love letter she had written to her sweetheart in California, provoked a legal argument late Tuesday. Hints Eye Was Wounded i Dressed in a sport suit of red and white, Miss Hamilton, who has been working in Columbia City, Ind., as a stenographer, appeared in court. She was the eighth defense witness. Floyd Mattice, deputy prosecutor, flashed two of her love letters on cross-examination. These, the state contended, fixed the date of Hamilton’s arrival in lola, Kan., his home town, as the afternoon of May 29, two days after Jackson was killed in his Indianapolis store. One letter also suggested that Hamilton’s right eye was wounded, presumably in an automobile accident, as he told his family.

Will for Will Humorous Rogers Is Back of Teacher Rogers’ Candidacy.

By United Press • OKLAHOMA CITY, July 13. William Cornelius Rogers, a small town schoolmaster, today had the indorsement of Will j Rogers, the humorist, in his can- j didacy for the Democratic nomi- ; tion for congressman-at-large from Oklahoma. Teacher Rogers used the name of Humorist Rogers on the ballots in the state primary election, and ran first by a wide margin. One opponent protested Teacher 1 Rogers had tricked the voters, but i the state supreme court refused to ' rule on his action. When supreme court justices | noticed the real Will Rogers in- i dorsed Teacher Rogers in his syndicated newspaper column, they refused jurisdiction. MUSTACHE CLUB AWAITING VOTE Court Employes Not to Shave Till Fall. Formation of an organization to be known as the Amalgamated Order of Amateur Mustache Growers was announced today in criminal court. The bewhiskered order's ideals, strictly on the sub rosa, is rallying around two battle cries, “Roosevelt-for-President” and “Beer Some Day.” . Roy Lowe, court bailiff, with his toothbrush growth, is “President of the Lip Pop-Overs.” Charles Steger, court clerk, is Head Whisker Trimmer. John W. Freeman, bailiff, is Royal Stropper of the Razor, and Thomas D. Doyle, deputy county clerk, Guardian of the Mustache Cup. The bristles are to be worn until the rooster crows a Democratic victory in the fall election.

PROBE ORDERED INTO DRIVERS' LICENSE DEAL Galloway Demands Inquiry in Effort to Recover $72,400 for State. Investigation of the $82,400 state contract, awarded in 1929 for printing 2,000.000 automobile drivers' license certificates, was ordered today t>y the Indiana house, without dissenting vote. Introduced by Fred Galloway Dem.) Indianapolis, the resolution was approved, with ninety-three ayes and three absentees. Speaker Walter Myers announced he will name the probe’ committee of five Democrats and three Republicans Thursday morning. Federal authorities have been probing the contract in Indiana and Illinois. Galloway's resolution alleged that the Haywood Company of Lafayette, holding the general state contract, received SIO,OOO as its share of the contract, and paid income tax on this amount. The Ohlhaver & Burkhart Company, Aurora, 111., which received the contract, on which Haywood did the work, received $72,400, he says. The committee, to be named by Myers, will have authority to question witnesses during the special session. Galloway charged, "This is the biggest little steal ever perpetrated in the state.” State officials, after rawarding the contract to the Aurora firm for $82,400, permitted the Haywood Printing Company of Lafayette to print the certificates for $4,000, and the Illinois men later paid that company an additional $6,000, it is alleged. Otto G. Fifield was secretary of state at the time. “We should recover the $72,400 in the interest of saving the taxpayers’ money and returning it to the state treasury,” Galloway asserted. Representative James M. Knapp (Rep.), Hagerstown declared: “Galloway has made some very serious charges against state officials and I wonder if he would say these things if he did not have the legislative immunity granted all members. “I wonder why he does not file an affidavit against these men.” “I will,” shouted Galloway.
