13 FRIENDS ARE LUCKY; JUDGE'S MERCY IS WON Youth Who Took Money From Letters May Be Shown Court Leniency. Thirteen ordinarily is considered an unlucky number, but it proved lucky for Max Miller, 20, Cottage Grove (Ind.) postoffice employe, when pleas of thfiteen friends won mercy for him Thursday in federal court, when he pleaded guilty to stealing money from the mails. Miller, an orphan, who admitted taking small amounts, totaling less than S2O, from letters, was termed a "good boy" by his village friends. Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell took his case under advisement with the hint leniency would be shown if "he goes straight." Miller was one of more than 120 persons indicted by the federal grand jury who entered pleas Thursday. Many of those pleading guilty will be sentenced later. Just Too Accommodating Being too accommodating to his barber shop patrons was the cause of John StephenofT, 756 Arnolds avenue, facing liquor charges, he told Baltzell. "Lots of times my customers would ask me where they could get a drink, so I kept a pint or so of liquor in the shop just to accom modate them," StephenofT explained. "Ninety days, suspended,” Baltzell replied, "and don’t be so accommodating in the future.” Romance of Lee Hess. 24. Joplin, Mo., and Miss Lena Shuck, 22, Kansas City, Mo., who pleaded guilty to Mann act charges, received a setback when Baltzell frowned on their pleas for a jail marriage before starting prison sentences. Hess was given a three years’ sentence and Miss Schuck a year and a day. Best Customers Must Wait The more exclusive clientele of Jim and Mabel’s place, 1719 Kentucky avenue, will have to look elsewhere for occasional drinks of liquor in the future. James (Jim) Netherton, proprietor. who explained he kept a little liquor “just for his best customers," was given a sixty-day jail sentence. A S2OO fine was accepted by William Turner Smith, blind Negro, 422 West Twenty-sixth street, when he was given alternative of the fine or ninety days in jail. Smith explained that in order to be self-supporting, in spite of his blindness, he opened the Hotel Men's Club, 236 North Capitol avenue, where dry agents charged gambling and liquor violations took place. When Smith pleaded his blindness prevented him from knowing there was liquor in the place, Baltzell remarked that he should have been able to smell it. "Well, your honor," Smith replied, “my sense of smell isn’t very good either.” Other City Sentences Other Indianapolis sentences included: Leroy Norton, 535 East Ohio street, narcotics, eighteen months Leavenworth; Mrs. Irene Norton, 535 East Ohio street, narcotics, eighteen months in woman's prison: - Jesse Arnold, Negro, liquor, sixty days; Martha Watson. Neero. 2306 Fairview avenue. liquor, sixty days suspended; Clarence Mayo. Negro, 721 Torbett street, liquor, ninety days; George Smith, liquor, one day; Ralph White, 1216 East Washington street, llauor. six months; Oscar Crawford, liquor, eighteen months in reformatory; Virgil Clarkson. 1530 Comer avenue, liquor, ninety days; Claude Saferight. forgery, under advisement. POSTAL RECEIPTS GAIN Increase of $8,209 Over August, 1931, Says Clancy’s Report. Indianapolis postoffice receipts for August showed an increase, the first month an increase has been shown since April, 1930, it was reported today by Postmaster Leslie D. Clancy. Receipts for the month totaled $298,277, an increase of $8,200 over August, 1931, an increase of 2.8 per cent. While attributing the increase, in part, to the new 3-cent letter postage, which became effective July 6, Clancy said the increased rate was in effect most of July, and that month showed decreased receipts.

BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Sept. 2.—One of the greatest institutions of France is in danger of extinction—the “hors d'oeuvres." This meal in itself which precedes the main meal of most French restaurants is ooomed because it costs too much, and leaves too little paying appetite for profit. Three of the four latest restaurants to open here have banished of hors d'oeuvres. The hors d'oeuvres are the dozen, or dozens, of dishes which contain the appetizers Intended, back in the days of real gastronomy, to work up tlie appetite to feats of Borgins. Unfortunately, those days have Bone with depression, and modern physiology and Frenchmen have sacrificed rounded contours for fatter purses, and longer lives. In most restaurants, the chefs prided themselves In the range and beauty of their hois d'oeuvres. They would present that trinity of French gastronomy—hard-boiled eggs, potatoes and tomatoes—ln a dozen forms and then bring on twenty forms of pigs, in different au6&gefi skins, and fish, tinned in

a dozen different countries from pole to pole. The hors d'oeuvres once gave you a gastronomic tour of the world. Most of them included caviar; not a few went as far away as China or Alaska for tasty edibles. It Teas not unusual for one sitting of hors d'oeuvres to contain twenty different dishes plus the sausages. Some of the sausages were cold, some hot and the general price in a first-class restaurant for the entire course or collection was 30 to 40 cents. In the pre-war years of gastronomic plenty, hors d'oeuvres were thrown in with the meal. They may have had their origin in leftovers, which were fixed up with oils and spices for the next day. They became a burden on the restaurant keeper, but were the delight of tourists. In the early day of the great 1929-1932 depression, diners found it a great economy to dip into twenty dishes of hftrs d'oeuvres for 30 cents and order an extra cup of coffee to call it a meal. It is to end such costly methods that the new restaurants have done away with the appetizers.

since had seized a considerable stretch of the profitable back o' the yards territory as his own domain. Police said “somebody got even,' when they identified Zwolinski's body from the automobile license cards in a coat pocket. Other pockets of his clothing had been turned inside out and there was no gun. Zwolinski had carried on a reign of terror against the O'Donnell brothers and members of that gang in recent months, police recalled. Since the “Terrible Pole' led the : defection from the gang which took away such other gang notorieties as Georgie Downs and Danny McGeogehan, life had been more than customarily hazardous for Spike and his men. Charlie O'Donnell, one of the

brothers and a sub-leader of the alcohol and beer combine, was shot to death several months ago. Gunmen poured volleys at Spike as he sat on the porch of his home smoking a cigar not long before. To re-enforce the threat of the attempted assassination, a trio of men approached Spike O'Donnell on the street and told him: “You're out from now on.” Police were informed that the threat was uttered by Zwolinski and two others. Then, with ironic insight into psychology of a gangster, killers entered Spike O'Donnell's garage and shot to death his pet goat—:he mascot of the gang. Spike O'Donnell w’ent to Los Angeles, where police believed he now is staying.

From the condition of Zwolinski's body, police surgeons deduced that ; he had been dead six or seven hours. ■ fixing the time of the slaying at about last midnight. He had been killed elsewhere, his body trussed with rope and crammed into the car, which then was driven to the spot where it was found cn South Artesian street.
