Don Miller, Recovering, Now Is Able to Walk

Convalescense From Broken Neck Rapid; to Return to College. Return to college in September is the ambition that is about to be realized by J. Don Miller, Jr., who has been treated since Dec. 15 for a broken neck, incurred in a fall in the college gymnasium at Haverford. Pa. Young Miller is the son of Dr. and Mrs. J. Don Miller, 3142 Broadway. He was returned to Indianapolis from the Bryn Mawr hospital last week and is convalescing at his home here. The young man’s recovrey has

been of great general interest, since | such an injury is usually fatal. According to his mother, who has ! been with him at the hospital since ; the accident, he suffered no dis- | comfort from the trip home, and j now is able to sit up three hours a day, and to walk a short distance. He has regained completely the use of his legs and right arm, and physicians promise normal use of the left arm within a few months. X-ray pictures reveal rapid healing in the fractured vertebrae, and within a few months a complete recovery is expected. Young Miller is unable to do any school work during his convalesscence, and is confining his hopes to a return to Haverford at the beginning of the next semester.

Bartenders Shunned ‘The Fan;’ All Work and No Play There

Customers Came in Steady Stream to Popular OldTime Saloon. This is the last of a series of stories on Indianapolis saloons In the bygone . da vs. BY JAMES A. CARVIN’, Times Staff Writer Imagine, if you can, a long bar at which customers are lined three ! and four deep, while a staff of bartenders labor ceaselessly at passing out drinks. And this same place had a reputation which caused it to be shunned by members of the bartenders’ union, because of the pace which was necessary to keep the customers satisfied. This saloon where there was so much business was the old-time bar known as The Fan, located at 22-24 North Delaware street. It was owned and operated by Chris Zimmerman. One of the staff of bartenders employed in The Fan is Lonnie Lyster, 116 North Noble street. Lyster also owned his own saloon at one time, located at Maryland and Davidson streets. Bar W’as Popular "In the days when saloons took the places of clubs as gathering places for men, The Fan was one of the most popular in the city,” says Lyster. "I know, because I worked behind the bar there. During the rush hours it was impossible to wait on a customer immediately. Each had to wait his turn. "Why, if one of the bartenders was sick or laid off for some reason or other, we couldn’t get a substitute. When we would go down to union hall to get a man. they would walk away when they learned what saloon it was. “ ‘Work in The Fan?’ they’d say. ‘No, thanks. That place is too busy.’ Maybe after half an hour or so you could persuade a man to take the job for a day. Always a Crowd “We opened at 6 in the morning and stayed open until midnight and there were few minutes during the day when there wasn’t a good crowd in the place.” Zimmerman later operated the Oakley Club, near Maywood, a popular roadhouse of the day, Lyster said. After an altercation in the club with a patron, Zimmerman ejected the man from the place and he vowed he would return and shcot the owner. Police records show that he made his threat good. He came to the city, obtained a gun, and returned to the club. Confronting Zimmerman. he opened fire without warning and killed him. Another favorite barroom was ‘

Considerable “cash" passed over the bar each day in Johnny Cash's saloon at 25 North East street, in pre-prohibition days. The photo of the saloon's interior is the property of Lonnie Lyster. a former bartender and saloon owner in the city.

Johnny Cash's place at 25 North East street. Lyster recalls. "It was a well-patronized bar and had a large trade among the working men, but it didn't approach the crowds of The Fan," Lyster said. Also intimately acquainted with Indianapolis saloons of days gone by is Frank Dougherty, who now operates a poolroom at 13412 North Pennsylvania street. Dougherty's acquaintance with bars of the city was due to his activity as a champion pool and billiard player. Most of the good barrooms of the city were equipped with pool tables and, forty years ago, Dougherty was among the best players in the state. In fact, he won his first title in 1892, on the same day that James J. Corbett took the world's heavyweight boxing title from John L. Sullivan. “I played Professor Harry Brooks for the state championship at the Denison.” Dougherty said. After that I lost and won back the title many times. For a while I was in St. Paul and Minneapolis and took part in championship matches there." Dougherty used to operate the billard room in the basement of the Grand hotel, Maryland and Illinois streets. The place was frequented by members of the state legislature during its sessions, and Dougherty crossed cues with many former leading lawmakers of the state. “Ed Reeves and Dave Koontz, both of whom now are dead, were bartenders in the Grand bar,”

Dougherty recalled. "Another of the old-timers was Horace Keever. who tended bar in the Denison many years." Later Kocntz opened a small restaurant in the alley at the side of Keith’s theater and became acquainted with a number of the stage and vaudeville celebrities who would drop into his place for a snack between acts. The walls of the small nook were covered with autographed photos of singers, acrobats, sister acts, comedians and others who made the regular rounds of the Keith circuit. Many of the photos still are there. Old-timers also recall the saloon operated by John Heinlein, at 23 West Ohio street. It was one of the most popular resorts of newspaper men and politicians. Many of the city's reporters, who later were graduated to other fields, used Heinlein’s as a base of operations, keeping in touch with their city editors and "runs” by telephone. Many of the political coups of the day were hatched over a glass of beer in Heinlein's, as politicians held impromptu conferences with henchmen. And no reporter ever needed to be told “to drop into Heinlein’s and see what’s going on.” RESULTS AT 3c A WORD. To rent that vacancy—sell that furniture—trade what you don’t need for what you want—just remember that a Times Want Ad cost less than these of any other Indianapolis paper. Call RI-5551.

LAY PLANS FOR TOM MOONEY'S 'LIBERTY TRIAL' Defense Attorneys to 100 Witnesses: Billings Will Testify. By T'nited Pr, „ SAN FRANCISCO. March 28Defense attorneys mapped plans today to subpena 100 witnesses for the forthcoming trial of Tom Mooney, who placed his life at stake in a gamble for liberty. Warren K. Billings, sentenced to life imprisonment with Mooney as an asserted participant in the 1916 San Francisco Preparedness dav' bombing, in which ten persons were willed, will be brought from Folsem prison as a defense witness, Defense Attorney Leo Gallagher told the United Press. At his own request Mooney will eo on trial April 26 on an old murder indictment, pending since the original trial. Death by hanging is permissible uhder the indictment. All Were Named "We will subpena Rena Mooney, wife of the prisoner; Israel Weinberg, Los Angeles jitney driver, and Edward D. Nolan of Cleveland.” Gallagher said. All had been named* in original indictments. Gallagher, who will be joined £ week before the trial by Frank P. Walsh, veteran New York labor attorney. said they also will subpena eighteen witnesses who at the original trial testified Mooney and his wife were standing on top of a building a mile and a half from the scene when the explosion occurred. Evidence Never Refuted "Their testimony never lias been refuted,” the attorney asserted. “There is a photograph, showing Mooney and his wife on top of that • building. A clock in the background fixes the time. We will introduce that photograph—and let the prosecution call its witnesses that the photo was faked, if they have any.” Who will form the prosecution still was in doubt today. With District Attorney Matthew A. Brady disqualified by his own expression of faith in the defendant, word was awaited from State’s Attorney-Gen-eral U. S. Webb who may appoint a special prosecutor. If he fails tq act, the trial judge may appoint one>.
