LUKE LEA NEAR PRISON GATES; APPEAL DENIED Long Term Faced by Man Whol ‘Almost Kidnaped the Kaiser.’ B)l Rcripps-Hoicard X r,>r*pnper AHintirc. WASHINGTON. Oct. 28.—A single short sentence typewritten at the bottom of a sheet of flimsy paper will, unless changed, send to prison ex-United States Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee, publisher, politician, promoter—the "man who almost kidnaped the Kaiser." This thin line appeared at the end of a list of cases which litigants had asked the United States supreme court to review. Luke Lea's case was in that list. It said that these reviews were denied. It meant that Luke Lea must serve a six to eightyear prison sentence, growing out

of charges of conspiracy and misapplica t i o n of a bank's funds, following the smash of Caldwell <V Cos., in Tennessee, in 1930. That crash shook Tennessee, economically and politically. It shook the south, and bank failures and distress resulted. It brought investigations and suicides, more investigations and prosecutions. It almost caused the impeachment of a Governor. And now Col-

Luke Lea

onel Luke Lea, son of Tennessee aristocracy, winner of the distinguished service medal, college degrees and fame in politics and business, faces the penitentiary. He may appeal again to the supreme court to rehear his case, to reverse its decision a;.ainst review of his case. According to reports, he will. If lie wins this review, and then loses again, it will be jail for himself, a heavy fine for his son. and prison, also, for Wallace B. Davis, former president of the defunct Central Bank and Trust Company of Asheville, N. C. They were convicted in North Carolina. It was in the cases of these three men that the supreme court acted this week. Back of the court’s short, crisp sentence is one of the most amaz-

In Beauty Show

Ah, there’s So-and-So, the ravishing beauty. And there's that divine Such-and-Such. x And so spoke the onlookers at one of those gaudy Hollywood movie premieres. Then along came Edna May Oliver in her party clothes, registering whatever this expression may signify. And the crowd roared. ing stories of a financial debacle that the depression furnished before the Insull crash. Caldwell & Cos. was an investment house. It “banked on the south.” Around it Rogers Caldwell and Colonel Lea pyramided—banks, insurance companies, local governments, newspapers, mines, and manufacturing plants—millions. Caldwell & Cos. failed, and Lea, whose great-grandfather was a law partner of Andrew Jackson, went down along with it. In 1911, Luke Lea went to the United States senate. He had been eight years out of college; he was but 32, one of the youngest men ever to sit in the upper house. The World war found Lea a colonel in the field artillery. The war wasn’t exciting enough. So toward the last, Lea gathered a special party from the one hundred fourteenth, field artillery, got into a car, and drove boldly up to the entrance of the Kaiser's retreat at Doom. Who was he that he should demand to see His Imperial Majesty? Lea is said to have replied: "Luke Lea, an American newspaper man.” But, somehow, an alarm was given, and the Tennessee colonel and his aids wpnt away from there. Someone took the Kaiser’s ash tray as a souvenir, and the state department in Washington heard about it. Lea and his party were put under military arrest, but nothing else much happened.

HAPPY little girl, just bursting with pep, and she has never tasted a “tonic!” Every child’s stomach, liver, and bowels need stimulating at times, but give children something you know all about. Follow the advice of that famous family physician who gave the world Syrup Pepsin. Stimulate the body's vital organs. Dr. Caldwell’s prescription of pure pepsin, active senna, and fresh herbs is a mild stimulant that keeps the system from getting sluggish. If your youngsters don’t do well at school, don’t play as hard or eat as well as other children do, begin this evening with Dr. Caldwell’s

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Georgia, faced trial in recorder's court here today. The "mummy" purportedly was dug up from the front yard of Gregory's home at Indian Springs during excavation for a pipe line last spring. It showed a mother clasping a I child to her breast, and for a time was believed a genuine antiquity. T. E. Garrett, chief of detectives, ordered the X-ray after receiving information alleging that "paper'’ mummies are manufactured by the j Nelson supply, house, South* Boston, Mass., for as little as S3O each. He suspected Gregory's might be a i fraud, he said. RADIO STOPS” SINGERS Voices Far More Active Years Ago, Savs Educator. KNOXVILLE, Term., Oct. 28.—A j hundred years ago Tennesseans ' were far more active musically than today, believes Dr. George Pullen Jackson of Vanderbilt university. In those they went to singing school, he said, but today everybody's voice is silent while the radio works overtime.

Syrup Pepsin. This gentle stimulant will soon right things! The bowels will move with better regularity and thoroughness. There won’t be so many sick spells or colds. You’ll find it just as wonderful for adults, too, in larger spoonfuls! Get some Syrup Pepsin; protect your household from those bilious days, frequent headaches, and that sluggish state of half-health that means the bowels need stimulating. Keep this preparation in the home to use. instead of harsh cathartics that cause chronic constipation if taken too often. You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drug store; they have it all ready in big bottles.
