TUMULTY AND CREEL CAPITAL •FUNNY MEN' Two Irish ‘Playboys’ Are Finest Story Tellers in Land. R x Srripph-Hnvnrft \rwipopfr AUionff WASHINGTON. June 2. Georsre Creel and Joseph P. Tumulty. the capital has two of the finest and funniest story-tellers in the land. These two Irish playboys can convulse even the most hard-boiled audience, whether they perform on the stat?e or In a living room. Creel became best known as chairman of the committee on public information during the World wr while “Joe” was secretary to

Woodrow Wilson during that time of trial. Their humor in those days often furnished the only bright spots and sounds in Washington. Creel’s yarns run to the cynical, although he is no cynic. “Joe” is more of a sentimentalist. and an Irish sentimentalist at that. He can draw tears of humor or sadness, as he pleases.

Tumulty

Tumulty plays practical jokes. He assembles friends in his home or office and then brings in an actor to insult each one in the spot where he is most sensitive. If it is an author, the stranger suggests that the last book was “lousy.” If it is a dry senator, the visitor discourses on “prohibition hypocrisy.” If it is a Republican, the friendly intruder denounces G. O. P. presidents and policies from colonial to Hoover, days. Against Jokes on Self Just as the guests are about to commit wholesale murder, “.Joe” introduces the insulting personage as an actor or imitator. Strangely, “Joe” himself is a most sersitive person, and does not stand up so well under similar joshing. Creel likes best the anecdote of the days when he went out as an advance man for the late Champ Clark in a political campaign. It was George’s task to deliver speeches that would hold the crow T d until the “orator of the evening" arrived. The gruff politician never gave his young aid any thanks, and often hurt his feelings. One on Champ ('lark If Clark arrived a bit ahead of time, he strode upon the stage, even though the advance man was in the most impassioned portion of his speech. It irked and angered George, and he decided to square accounts. On the last night of the campaign George delivered verbatim the stock speech Champ alw'ays gave; the youngster sped the gestures, the manners and the stride of the elderly orator. An excellent mimic, he was better than Clark himself. When he finished, he hiked to the station and left town. As Clark settled into his speech, snickers and coughing ran through the audience. The laughter became a gale that drowned out the dignified Democrat. Upon asking the cause for this unseemly demonstration, the chairman said: “Your young assistant just made that very same speech, even to the commas and infinitives.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MITCHELL, AIDS SPLIT MILLIONS, RECORDS SHOW Fascinating Tale of Bank Profits Is Bared at N. Y. Trial. BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. June I.—Through a three-foot stack of red Moroccobound volumes, the government traced Thursday the golden flow of millions in banking profits into the National City Company's "management fund" and out again to the individual pockets of the company's officers. The fascinating story of unusual profits, of bank officers who considered themselves poor because they had salaries of less than $25,000, and of $150,000 bonuses to officers “for special services” was spread before a federal court jury in the case of Charles E. Mitchell. The former chairman of the National City bank is accused of defrauding the government of $850,000 in income taxes. Recipient of 8666,666 Out ol the management fund, it was shown, Mitchell received 33 1-3 per cent—a total, in one payment, of $666,666. He failed to include this sum in his income tax return because the directors voted to call it an “advance.” and passed a resolution saying that it should be paid back in the indefinite future. The story of the management fund was typical of the flush times of 1929. It was outlined through questions by United States Attorney | George Z. Medalie, directed to Frank J. Maguire, assistant secretary of the I National City Company. The National City Company w’as an affiliate of the National City bank. More particularly, it was the bank’s agency for dealing in securities, pools, syndicates, and stock and bond flotations. Business Really Good In 1927. the directors, at a meeting attended by Mitchell, found business so good that they ordered set aside 8 per cent of all earnings after taxes and other items were written off. This money was to go to the officers responsible for the development of the business, and the executive committee was to determine what percentage each officer should get. Mitchell’s share, by vote of ’he I executive committee, was to be 33 1-3 per cent. The other officers received vary- i ing amounts, from 3.2 per cent, i which sounded to the courtroom like new beer, to 11 per cent for Hugh Baker, president of the company. Labeled As “Advance” In 1929, Mitchell received his twothirds at the Yule Tide splitup of the fund, and deposited it in the Guaranty Trust Company. When his friend Frank W. Black ! helped him make out his income tax for the year, the item was omitted, I because the board of directors, as an afterthought, the government contends—or as Medalie puts it, “with sanctimonious hypocrisy”—; passed a resolution calling the division an “advance.” * j In 1932, the directors decided that the money divided three years before probably never would be returned to the bank, and consequently wrote off the whole amount at “one dollar,” scratching the other $1,710,000 (due to be paid if, as, and w-hen there might be profits to pay j it) off the books. $25,000 Starvation Wage Hard times struck the bankers in 1930. according to the evidence introduced late Friday afternoon, and they were so hard pressed to make both ends meet that the directors voted to split up $140.9:-!8.98 that remained in the management fund as undivided profits. At this meeting of the board, Mitchell presented the argument: for the splitup. The officers’ salaries, he said, “met only their bare I living expenses,” and only two or three drew 7 more than $25,000. “In practically every case,” he wrote, “officers have commitments I for living expenses in excess of their ; income. The result is a position of discomfort, from which they now | ask relief.” The relief from this distressing situation was granted, and of the j $140,000. Mitchell received approx- ! imately $50,000. RULE AGAINST MAGAZINE Farmer's Guide Loses Suit Charsing Anti-Trust Violation. Counsel for the Indiana Farmers Guide Publishing Company of Huntington declared today they will appeal the jury verdict ordered returned by Judge Robert C. BaltzeH in federal court Thursday in favor of the Mid-West Farm Paper Units of Chicago and five member publishers. Charging that the defendants had conspired to create a monopoly in advertising and restrain trade, the Indiana Farmers’ Guide Publishing Company sought damages of $200.000. It was alleged the defendants had violated the anti-trust laws by offering a low combination rate to advertisers. Baltzell ruled that the plaintiff had given no actual testimony to show that the decrease in advertising was due to violations of the law by the defendants.
