Hurt by Auto

Wilbur OaKley Pearing delay would mar the record of his class in School 14 of having no tardy members, Wilbur Oakley, 6, of 1621 Sturm avenue, today refused aid after he was knocked to the pavement at New York and Summit streets, where he ran against the fender of a moving automobile. Police Investigation disclosed the boy's identity, and he was taken home. He suffered bruises. ";The boy, a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Oakley, ran against the automobile of William E. Damatty, 47, of 5125 East Michigan street. Darnaby picked up the boy, asking if he was injured, and his name and address.

LOANS IN WAR NEVER THOUGHT OF AT GIFTS' Flood of Gold from U. S. Carried Allies Onward to Victory. This Is the first of a series of three articles outlining the origin and funding of the debts end the arguments advanced lor and against their revision. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—An unparalleled flood of gold and credits 1 totaling $10,296,000,000 flowed from America to Enrope between 1917 and 1920, inundating the central powers and bearing the allies to victory. Now the world is wallowing about in the quagmire left by that flood. Once prosperous nations pray for relief from debt payments. The United States is importuned to be a lenient creditor, as it was a ready lender. Congress will be askefl by President Herbert Hoover soon to decide whether this country shall try to collect in full or reduce payments in the interest of European economic recovery. Thus the American people are brought face to face once more with the debt problem they thought had been solved by the funding negotiations of 1922-26. Wilson Asked “Liberal Credits* After entering the war, April 6, 1917, America was eager at once to throw its weight against the central powers. For the moment it could neither man trenches nor hunt German submarines. But almost at once it began to advance what the impoverished allies needed most—money and supplies. In his first war message, President Woodrow Wilson asked congress to extend America’s allies “the most liberal credits, in order that our resources may so far as possible be added to theirs.” Four acts passed by congress In 1917 and 1918 made this possible. Later, other acts, authorized sale of war material to the allies on credit. Asa result, these advances were made: Great Britain $1,835.100,00C France 3,191.500,000 Italy 1,637.400,000 Belgium , 357,300,000 Russia 179,200,000 Others 135,500,000 Total $lO 296,000,000 How was the money used? In hundreds of ways. A recent analysis of treasury figures by the Brookins institution, economic research center indicates, however, that the bulk of it was used for munitions, cotton, foreign exchange, cereals and other foods. Some of the money was spent to pay interests on private loans the allies obtained here before the United States entered the war. Two Principles Stressed The greater part of the funds, $7,909,000,000 was advanced during the actual course of the war. After the armistice $2,387,000,000 was loaned to aid Europe in settling war accounts and in rehabilitation. Two principles were kept constantly in mind by the treasury tn making the loans. 1. That each nation should assume responsibility the money advanced to it. No funds were put into an “allied war pool.” Every dollar was covered by a promise to pay. The treasury never regarded the money as a gift, official documents show. 2. That money should be advanced only for meeting payments due in the United States. With a few exceptions, this principle was preserved. Next—How the Debts Were Funded.

BUFFALO BILL GALLOPS ACROSS ARENA

Wild West Show Educational? Absolutely, Says Old Trouper

About Buffalo Bill. Major John M. Burke, Chief Iron Tall, and many ether character* of the Wild West shows Mr. Liebling write* today in his fourth article on old-time performer*. BY A. J. LIEBLING Time* Staff Writer (Copyright. 1932. by the New York WorldTelegram Corporation) “TYUFFALO BILL’S Wild West XX Show,” said Joseph Mayer a3 he gazed affectiqnately at the countenance of his old associate, Chief Iron Tail, "was the greatest educational institution that ever existed. “I am reminded of it every time I see a nickel. Os course that is not so often now, but it makes Iren Tail’s mug even more welcome when I do see it. He posed for that nickel, you know. “Think of what John D. Rockefeller would give to have a nickel with his picture on it, to hand out for a souvenir. Iron Tail never handed them out, though. He grabbed every one he could get his hands on.” Mr. Thayer gloomily surveyed the vast expanse of his living room in the mountains above the Tuckahoe railroad station. It is almost big enough to stage the grand entrance of the rough riders. “A rodeo is not a wild west show,” he said. “It is not educational. There are no Indians. There are no German Uhlans, Cossacks in their unparalleled feats of native riding, French Curacaos or Ellsworth zouaves. ‘‘Above all, there are no instructive books to be sold in connection with the rodeo. Every boy who came to see Buffalo Bill’s show left with a copy of that great work, ‘The Last of the Great Scouts,’ by Helen Cody Wetmore, Buffalo Bill’s sister. “It cost us 14 centi a copy to print,” confided the old plainsman. “We sold it for sl, with a 50-cent show ticket thrown in, and one season Buffalo Bill and Mrs. Wetmore and I split SBO,OOO among us. tt tt “TN the morning before the paX rade I would take out a stock on a wagon with Sammy Lone Bear, an Arapahoe, who got away from Carlisle before Glenn Warner arrived, and at every corner where there wgs a beer saloon Sammy would put on the war dance, sun dance or mating dance of his nation, and then while he was inside drinking beer I would sell books. “The men connected with Buffalo Bill’s show were not ordinarily cowhands like the present rodeo performers,” the survivor of a glorious epoch in the American theater continued. “They were aall officers or professional men. “There was Colonel Cody himself, Major John M. Burke, the advance man; Colonel Johnny Grant of Elberon, N. J., who shot the surf gun; Colonel Hageman, the bronk rider; Colonel Andy McCarthy, the announcer, and Dr. Carver, the sharpshooter. “Nate Salisbury was the general. In his travels with a theatrical company known as the Troubadours, featuring Nellie MeHenry, General Salisbury had encountered Colonel Cody doing a melodramatic skit with Texas Jack O’Mohondro and Wild Bill Hickok, two reputedly homicidal gentlemen who drew well at the old Bowery theater, where I was an usher in 1880. “For all I know, the fateful encounter took place beneath my very eyes. General Salisbury decided to promote Colonel Cody, and that was the beginning of the Wild West Show idea. “They put it over on a tremendous scale at the world’s fair in Chicago in 1893, and in 1895 Salisbury made an agreement with

Buffalo Bill and Chief Sitting Bull Charles A. Bailey to put the show on the road. Before that Buffalo Bill had played only long stands, in Boston, at the fair, and in an arena on Staten island. tt tt St “T> ARNUM had died, and owing XX to a consolidation with another show, Bailey had some spare rolling stock. He agreed to transport the Buffalo Bill Show and provide a canvas arena for a share of the receipts. “The arena was not a covered tent like the circus top. It was more like a canvas walled and roofed grandstand with the arena open to the skies. The performers rode in tile rain when necessary. It made no difference, because they were all children of nature and not effete like moving picture stars. “Since the Bowery theater days I had been with the circus, first as candy butcher. On the night of jumbo’s death, I pulled all the hairs out of his tail and sold them for $5 apiece. “This so distinguished me in the eyes of P. T. Barnum that he put me in charge of the program department, selling advertising space. “I was sent with the Buffalo Bill show in charge of the program, an educational book which sold for 10 cents.”

n u "AT .first I was frightened at x the idea of leaving the gentle society of the canvasmen and t‘ 4|f two-headed cannibal boy for Wild West ruffians,” he said, “but I soon found the cowboys were not so lethal as they looked. “ Major Burke, for instance, hailed from Wilmington. The scar across his face was the-trace of oyster knife which had glanced off the shell of a stubborn Mattahawken. Texas Jack Cooper did not know how to ride, while Kid Gabriel, the roper, had learned his art in the stockyards of Chicago. “Buffalo Bill, himself, was a magnificent figure on his white horse when he pulled off his broad hat and thundered: “Permit me to introduce the Congress of Rough Riders of the World!” But his marksmanship was not up to his equestrian ability.

Colonel William F. Cody, known everywhere as Buffalo Bill

“He had a shooting act in whiclj he would fire from horseback at glass balls and break them. For this he used a twenty-foot spread of sbiall shot. He also enacted a buffalo hunt in which he rode alongside a buffafo pointed out to him by an Indian guide and fired a blank cartridge. “The guUe then would chase the buffalo back to its stall, and Colonel Cody would take a bow.” “One night Matt Saunders, the property man, got*the guns mixed. Colonel Cody missed all the glass balls. ' v “This was not the worst. In the buffalo hunt he smacked the unsuspecting bison with about 200 birdshot. Figuring it was a doublecross, the buffalo started after Buffalo Bill, and Buffalo Bill started after Matt Saunders, but friends intervened and apologies were accepted all around.

“Y Y THEN we -played Madison VV Square Garden the roof was on, but the lid was off,” the educator recqunted. “We went in for the most grandiose scenic effects. I remember when Steele Mackaye, the scenic genius of those times, constructed a replica of the Rocky Mountains at one end of the arena. “The first dramatic sketch in the production always began with a covered wagon wending its way across the plains toward Fourth avenue. The weary settler would rein in. His wife would prepare to cook the evening meal. “Then Chief Irontail, Sammy Lone Bear and Chief Three Stars White Horse would lead the Indians in a blood-stirring charge on the devoted couple, who would fire blank cartridges. The Indians would form their famous merry-gc-round, attack around the

covered wagon and It would look bad soy the settlers. “Then the cowboys would dash in, firing a more deadly kind of blank cartridges than the Indians and the redskins would flee “The second dramatic sketch was a wow. A stage coach would roll in, drawn by eight spotted ponies. Colonel McCarthy, the anribuncer, would ask if any member of the audience would like a free ride. “Once at a performance in Washington, Resident Theodore Roosevelt acceptei. Lieutenant Colonel Eurke, the stage driver, would crack his whip and jlrive once around the ring. “Who do you suppose would attack the siaage coach? Why, the Indians. They would make all the passengers climb out and then they would frisk them. “They frisked the Great White Father, even, but they did not take anything. Then who do you suppose would come up? Why, the cowboys. The Indians would flee. tt tt tt “'T''HE third dramatic eketch would show a whole train of wagons, or maybe a log cabin. The Indians would attack. “The' cowboys would come to the rescue, and the Indians would drop their third successive ba,ttle and never complain. They had no more pride than a wrestler. “The finale would be a duplication of the battle of San Juan, or Tien-Tsin, or the Horn, according to the year, but Old Glory always triumphed, and everybody bought books. “Those Cossacks and gauchos and French Curacaos were added later for variety. Then we got Uhlans and life guards, but militarism is a terrible thing. “The show broke up before the war and since then I have devoted myself entirely to publishing the Ringling circus programs. “But I never see a nickel without thinking of that peripatetic Harvard, a peerless school of history and ethnography—the Buffalo Bill Show.” NEXT—Mr. Liebling will write of the Repertory Shows.

13 GET HEAVY’. TERRIS IN REAL ESTATE FRAUDS Huteson Sentenced to 7 Years: Dozier, O’Keefe Given 4 Years Each. Flayed for extracting a fortune In “tUod money” in a real estate scheme, three grieving promoters of the Indiana Estates Company were given heavy fines ana prison terms j today by Federal Judge Robert C. Ealtzell. following conviction of a ; charge of using the mails to de- ; fraud. Heaviest penalty was meted to : James Huteson, 34, of San Francisco, alleged “brains’ of the scheme. ' who was sentenced to seven years in the. Leavenworth penitentiary ’ and was fined $4,000. William M. Dozier, 24, a law student, and Mel J. O’Keefe, associates of Huteson, were sentenced four years each in the Chillicothe (O.) federal reformatory and fined $2,000 each. Unlike the glib-tongued and dapper salesmen who were convicted of mulcting nearly SIO,OOO from Indianapolis persons, including elderly women and widows, the three men visibly were broken as they faced Baltzell. They were convicted Saturday by a Jury. Huteson, trembling and nervous sobbed as he told Baltzell he believed the sale of lots in Morningside addition in 1930 was being conducted legitimately. “I greatly regret seeing that long line of old women go on the witness stand,” he told Baltzell. “As God is my judge, if I had known those old, women were going to be paraded against me I would have pleaded guilty. I was interested in making money legitimately. I asked my salesmen repeatedly if the business was being conducted in a clean manner.” “I can see from your talk how you could convince these poor women,” Baltzell rejoined. Dozier sobbed as sentence was pronounced.
