U. S. Will NOT STAND FOR WAR, STIMSON WARNS Aggressor Nations Will Be Treated as Outlaws, He Declares. BY WILLIAM PHILIPS SIMMS Srilgpi-llimtril Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Aug. 9—As war rumors rumbled In the far east, in Europe and in South America, State Secretary Henry L. Stimson Monday night solemnly warned that the United States will not waver in its support of the pacts outlawing acts of aggression. In diplomatic circles here more than ordinary significance was attached to the utterance. There are indications that the world's peace machinery soon may be put to the test again, hence the statement in advance of America's attitude, if and when called, to face such an emergency. Japan is reported to be poised for another blow at China; Bolivia and Paraguay, already are mobilized for war, and skirmishes are in progress, while the junkers of Germany are threatening to take matters in their own hands and arm in an effort to smash the treaty of Versailles. Speaks Before Council Ppeaking before the Council of Foreign Relations in New York, and with full knowledge of these menaces to world peace. Secretary Stimson quoted President Coolidge and the late Premier Briand of France, saying, ‘‘an act of war in any part of the world is an act that injures the interest of my country.” This great lesson, he said, has been learned by practically all the civilized powers, and, by signing the Briand-Kellogg pact, they codified it. Not only that, he added, but practically every nation has ratified the new American doctrine of nonrecognition of territory taken by force, thus adding strength to the agreement. Upholds Kellogg Pact The pact, of Paris or Kellogg pact, he said, has become the backbone of world peace. It was born of humanity’s realization that if wars w'ere permitted to continue, “perhaps the next war would drag down, and utterly destroy, our civilization.” The covenant of the league of nations was a laudable and helpful effort in the same direction, Tie said. The Kellogg pact is not just a pious wish. It is a treaty. It carries obligations and offers benefits. It not only pledges nations not to resort to war, as an instrument of national policy, but makes such w'ars illegal. Violators are lawbreakers and are to be treated as such. Were this not so, the pact would be reduced to a mere gesture. WINONA LAKE CAST TO PRESENT ‘MESSIAH’ ( horus of I.ooft to Participate in Aug. 26 Event. /;ii Times Special WINONO LAKE, Ind., Aug. 9.

MINE WAGE VOTE TIGHT Outcome of Illinois Referendum Still Is in Doubt. /;>/ t nited Press SPRINGFIELD. 111., Aug. 9.—Outcome of last Saturday's referendum among Illinois union coal miners on approval of a proposed fivc-dollar day basic wage scale appeared in doubt today. Officials of the Illinois district union and of the United Mine Workers of America expressed confidence that the official count of the vote at the state union headquarters here will show the proposed wage agreement carried by a small majority. Their claims, made in the face of press returns from more than twothirds of the district's locals showing the agreement being defeated. 19.050 to 11.714. was based on the belief that the official tally will reveal a higher total of "yes" votes and a comparatively lower number of “no" votes. •HUSKY' THIEVES ACTIVE 400 Pounds of Coppe Ingots Stolen From Lock Company. No key was needed by thieves who broke into the Keyless Lock Company, 1401 Newman street, Monday night.

TROWBRIDGE SURE OF A GOOD SEASON Road Conditions in Theater World Looks Much Brighter to Former Manager of the Shubert in This City. BY WALTER l>. HICKMAN WHILE en route to the Municipal Opera in St. Louis to attend the American premier of Franz Lehars, “The Land of Smiles.” last night. Nelson Trowbridge, former manager of the Murat, and for years manager of the Shubert theaters in Cincinnati, 0., paid me a visit. Trowbridge was just bubbling over with enthusiasm because he is sure of a splendid legitimate season. He told me that his “subscribed audience season” for the plays to be presented by The American Theatre Society at Cincinnati, “was my wildest guess." This subscription system will open about the middle of October with

the Theatre Guild's production of "The Pure in Heart," by John Howard Lawson, with June Walker and Osgood Perkins. The other plays of the subscribed season will probably include “Cynara,” with Philip Merivale; "A Trip to Prcssburg." by Leo Perutz; "Autumn Crocus,” with Francis Lederer. who appeared in the play last year in London; “Another Language." New York's newest success; “The Good Earth.” with Alla Nazimova. and "This Side Idolatry,” by Talbot Jennings. The above list may be changed as the American Theatre Society has the right to draw from the following managers: Gilbert Miller. Arthur Hopkins. John Golden. Sam H. Harris, Brock Pemberton. Macgowan and Reed. Eva La Gallienne and others. This, of course, does not include a number of high powered musicale comedies and revues to be produced or have been produced by the Shuberts. George White and Earl Carroll. that will be sent to Cincinnati. It is no-wonder to'me that Nelson Trowbridge knows no depression. He will not even think of such a thing. The Cincinnati situation is in direct contrast to Indianapolis. We have no subscribed audiences. “Ard Indianapolis will not get the American Theatre Society plays this coming season," Trowbridge told me.

Tie, Tie Again! Wanted to Drown, Too Good Swimmer: Practice Makes Knots Perfect.

111/ United I’rexx CHICAGO. Aug. 9. —Jul iu s Jacobson. 36, a steam fitter, who lost all his money in a bank failure, and then lost his job, decided to commit suicide, his father, Thomas, recounted today. "Julius kept telling me he was going to end his life and he wanted to die by drowning,” the father told police. "But he didn’t known how he would manage it, because he was a good swimmer. "So he started practicing tying his hands behind his back. He got so good at it that he couldn't work them loose, and I would cheer him up and he insisted on practicing the knots.” The rest of the story was told mutely when Jacobson’s body, hands tied behind his back, was found floating today in the Chicago river. SLAIN OVER WHISKY Five Bullets Bring Death to Negro Man. Five bullets fired from a revolver inflicted wounds which caused death early today of Thornton Lamont, 32, Negro, 924 North West street. John Smith, 43. Negro, 1229 North Senate avenue, is held on a murder charge. The shooting look place Monday afternoon on Indiana avenue near the Canal bridge. Smith, according to police, accused Lamont of stealing four qurats of whisky from him. SET BAR MEETING DATE State Lawyers to Hold Mid-Winter Session Here in December. Mid-winter meeting of the Indiana State Bar Assccition will be held in Indianapolis late in December, the board of managers announced today. F. B. Harper, Bloomington, was reappointed editor of the Indiana Law Journal, and Thomas G. Batchelor, Indianapolis, was reappointed secretary-treasurer.

And the reason is that we have not organized the subscribed audience. Again we must rely more and more upon the Civic Theater and the few scattered bookings we have at English’s. I firmly believe that we will have a better legitimate season at English's than we had last season because more plays are planning to take to the road. bub Indianapolis theaters today offer: The Mills Brothers at the Circle, "White Zombie" at the Palace, "The First Year" at the Apollo, and Guilty As Hell" at the Indiana.

DEAF MOTHER ‘HEARS’ ALL AS GIRL TESTIFIES Finger Tips at Child's Lips, Parent Listens to Tale Unfolded in Court. From fingertips placed at the lips of her 9-year-old adopted daughter, a deaf foster-mother today in juvenile court heard the child's testimony in the trial of William Stegermoeller, 42 North Holmes avenue, accused of beating his daughter and inflicting a threeinch gash in her leg. The mother “listened” intently as the girl, Mildred, told how her foster-father had beaten her when she disobeyed him by going to a neighbor's home to play. She nodded corroboration as the child told of Stegermoeller striking his wife with a broom stick when she objected to the severity of the child's punishment. Judgment with withheld by Judge John F. Geckler on provision that punishment of the child cease and that the Siegermoellers continue living together. Threatening to remove the child from the home and warning Stegermoeller against use of profanity in her presence, Geckler sternly refuted the foster-father's alleged statement to police officers that, ' The child is mine and I'll do with her as I please.” ‘ As long as I am judge in juvenile court, punishment administered to children by parents must be temperate and humane,” Geckler said. Scar of the gash on the child's leg, charged to have been inflicted by a strap, but said by Stegermoeller to have been with a “switch,” was exhibited in court to substantiate evidence of neighbors regarding the severity of the beating. Mrs. Stegermoeller testified that she had been divorced from her husband but remarried him, and that the child was adopted when an infant.

Hemorrhoids Go Quick All Pile Misery Ended Without Cutting or Salves. Thousands who have piles have not yet learned that quick and lasting relief can only be accomplished with an internal medicine. Neither salves nor suppositories remove the cause. Bad circulation of blood iu the lower bowel causes piles. The hemorrhoidal veins are flabby, the bowel walls weak —the parts almost dead. To get rid of I’iles an internal medicine must be used to stimulate the circulation, drive out the thick impure blood, heal and restore the affected parts. Dr. J. S. Leonhardt. after years of study, found a real iuterual Pile remedy. He called his discovery HEMKOID. and prescribed it for 1.000 patients with success in over 900 cases, and then decided every Pile sufferer, no matter how stubborn their case might try Ills prescription with a money back guarantee. ITEM-ROH) tablets have such a wonderful record of success in this city that Hook’ 8 Dependable Drug Stores and all good druggists invite you to try HEM-KOllt with guarantee of money refunded if it does not end your Pile misery . —A d ve rtisement.
