THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

R. 0. T. C. UNIT ATDEPAUW IS NEAR REMOVAL Army Corps Area Heads Say Oxnam Cause of Less Interest. De Pauw university’s reserve officers training corps, which has been associated with the university since April 1861, when two companies of the Asbury Guards were organized, faces banishment from the Greencastle campus, unless enrollment in the unit increases. War department officials from the fifth corps area have been investigating the De Pauw situation to discover why the enrollment dropped from 549 in 1928-’29 to 151 students last year. They charge that G. Bromley Oxnam, De Pauw T president, has been influential in the lessened student interest toward military training. Blamed for Shifting Oxnam largely was responsible for the shifting of the unit from a compulsory to an optional basis in 1928, the war department stated in its charges. Henry H. Hornbrook, Indianapolis, secretary of the board of trustees for tfre university, declared Friday that to his knowledge, although the matter of military training had been discussed in board meetings, no definite action ever has been taken by the board. James M. Ofjden, Indianapolis, former attorney-general, also a member of the board of trustees, stated Friday that he was in sympathy with the unit and had taken military training himself while an undergraduate at De Pauw. He ; further’said that he hoped the corps would continue at De Pauw. Favors World Peace Methodist officials interviewed Friday said that the Methodist i church was in favor of world peace : and in the event that a controversy | would arise as to the advisability of 1 R. O. T. C. at De Pauw that the Indiana Methodist area would back Oxnam. Indications reveal, however, that many alumni who previously have been in sympathy with Oxnam in other disputed matters would not back any move to withdraw military training. The De Pauw unit has had high ranking in R. O. T. C. college rating and has received the "Honor College” award several times. The war department reports that although the smallness of the unit imperiled its efficiency last spring, it made an excellent showing. Student sentiment toward the unit has been slack with Scabbard and Blade, military fraternity, as the only organized support. The war department claims that Oxnam’s avowed pacifist convictions here decreased the morale of the corps in the eyes of the student body. It was reported Friday that the tactical officers had left Greencastle and that the equipment was packed, but that the officers had been recalled and are back on the campus.

EDUCATION TO SAVE YOUTH FROM FARM Clemency Board Gives Parole to Attend School. An education will save Charles Murphy, 16, Marion county youth, from further service of a state penal farm te’rm for vehicle taking. The state clemency board today granted him a parole with the provision that he attend school. Failure to attend school, will result in revocation of the parole, the board held.

Fourteen years freedom that ended three months ago for Joseph Roller following his capture after escape from the penal farm in 1919, was blocked again today by the board. He was denied remission of fine, for which he had petitioned. Parole and remission of a fine were denied Morris Knight who is serving a six months farm sentence for vehicle taking. He was sentenced and fined S2OO last May. FLAYS BARBER LICENSE Veteran Worker at Trade Says Act Aids Only Politicians. Indiana’s barber licensing law passed by the 1933 legislature, aids neither the shop owner nor the barber, it was declared today by Wililam H. May, 612 North Rural street, who says his career as a barber has covered fifty-two years. May, who led a fight which prevented passage of a licensing law in the 1931 legislators, declared the act now in force produces only “salaries and commissions for of-ffice-holding politicians.” 3,426 Enrolled at Purdue By I'nited Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., Sept. 16.

"What’ll you give me for this brace and bit?” But now “Uncle” says they’re coming back to buy the tools of others or their own if they can find them to go out on a job promised the other day.

This summer’s electric fan is being traded for a winter overcoat to hunt a job," he said. "Why, even the guitars are selling.” And believe you us when a guitar sells, that means something to "Uncle."

Pooh, Aimee Evangelist Is Copy Cat, Estranged Mate Says; Appears on Stage.

BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent YORK, Sept. 16.—David L. Hutton, who became an Angelus Temple headliner by marrying Aimee McPherson, appeared in an eight-minute vaudeville act in a Brooklyn theater Friday, announcing that at heart he is just a coal digger. “I was born in an Illinois mining town,” said the four-square baritone, “and if this act flops I’ll have to go back to digging coal.” Hutton, in an interview before he betook his 230 pounds before the footlights, made it clear that he is determined to divorce his evangelist-wife. Furthermore, he accuses Aimee of being a “copy cat” in undertaking a vaudeville tour, scheduled to begin shortly in New York. “You don’t see me going around preaching to people, do you?” he demanded. “Why does she have to do everything I do? She says as an excuse that she wants to preach to all the people. “Well,, if that's what she wants, she can come to the theater in Manhattan where I’m going to play, and she’ll find all the people there, all right, all right. That’s an idea. I think I’ll write and tell her to do it.” During his act Hutton sang “Play Fiddle Play,” and one of his own compositions, “Take Me as I Am.” He also sang "Wanting You,” richly.

GHOST OF OLD CASE RISES TO ASSAILWOMAN Suit Filed Against Husband for Child Support May Be Boomerang. Testimony introduced in the case in which John Cochrane was convicted of binding arid robbing the late Mrs. Effie Bull, member of a pioneer Indianapolis family, may be brought up against Mrs. Emily L. Watkins, wife of a local attorney, in a case she filed today in superior court three. Mrs. Watkins today cited a former husband, Hamlin F. Scott, for failure to support their child, Gregory, of Whom she has custody. Attorneys for Scott declared they will revive the Cochrane case, in an attempt to take the child from Mrs. Watkins, by proving that she is ai* unfit guardian for the boy. Implicated in Case Mrs. Watkins was implicated in the Cochrane case and testified in his trial in criminal court. She supported his assertions that the attack on Mrs. Bull was “all a joke.” Convicted, Cochrane was sentenced to one to ten years in the state reformatory. He was charged with grand larceny. In sentencing Cochrane, Judge Frank P. Baker branded Cochrane’s story and those of “the other witnesses” as "absurd.” Cochrane and Mrs. Watkins admitted being on a party in the apartment of Mrs. Bull at 150 North MeriGian street.

FIGHT FOR CUSTODY OF ADOPTED CHILD Foster Parents Ask County Board to Be Court. County commissioners next Friday will hold a hearing on a petition filed today by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Rogers, demanding that the board sit as a court to issue a rerestraining order against Mrs. Roy Losch, wife of an Indianapolis policemen, preventing her from interfering with the Rogers custody of their 9-year-old adopted daughter. The child. Vinnie Pettigrew, is the daughter of Mis. Losch by a former marriage. Russell Newgent, juvenile court referee, asserted today that Mrs. Losch, then Mrs. Pettigrew, deserted her child and husband in 1928. Pettigrew won a divorce and the child was placed in the county's custody. In 1930, the child was adopted by the Rogers on approval of juvenile court. In August of this year, Mrs. Losch filed a petition before Juvenile Judge John Geckler asking custody of the child, but the petition was denied. Today's action by the Rogers, who live at 2540 West Washington street, is seen as a step to end definitely Mrs. Losch’s steps to take the girl. MAN’S NAME WRONGLY USED AS DEFENDANT R. L. Neuling, Insurance Agent, Plaintiff in Weapon Case. Error in report of a municipal court trial published Friday caused R. L. Neuling, 2134 Napoleon street, to be designated as defendant in a case in which he was the complaining witness. The defendant was Cornelius King, R R 12, Box 272-K, charged with drawing a deadly weapon. He wsa discharged by Judge Dewey E, Myers. Neuling, an insurance agent, was driving Wednesday on the Pendleton pike near Sherman drive and alleged King, with whom he says he is not acquainted, jumped on the running board of the car, voicing threats. King, who denied he displayed a knife, explained he had an antipathy for insurance agents, asserting a belief that an effort is being made to stop payment of compensation for an injury he incurred six months ago.

She adds one to “Uncle’s” goodtimes smile with, "And they’re getting marrried, too. Unredeemed wedding rings are selling.” In fact, the mechanic who buys a monkey wrench in one breath may be eyeing a "ball-and-chain” emblem in the next and trying to haggle "Auntie” out of the orange blossoms engraved on it as well as a plush box to put it in for presentation to his “sweetie.” And if “Uncle” and “Auntie” are to be believed, they’ll both be dancing "ring around a rosie, pocketful of pawn tickets" as their world-old three-ball signs glisten in the sun of a new deal for the “hockshop.”
