SERGE STAVISKY GENIUS OF SIN. REPORTERS FIND France’s Arch Crook, Born of Good Family, Began Career Early. (Continued from Page Onei a - s an embezzler and sentenced to fifteen days imprisonment.. Thus he was launched on a definite career. The incident taught him something —to cover his tracks; to be the “outside operator” and permit others to pull the chestnuts out of the fire. He became cautious. At the outbreak of the World war Stavisky did a little military service and then eased himself out of the army by declaring his Russian birth He was very happy in wartime Paris, where so many husbandless women were living, and where scruples and morals, blasted by war conditions, had fallen to low estate. But again he was caught in a minor fraud, and this time he served a second sentence of six months. It was during his detention with a vulgar band of “ordinary” criminals that Serge Stavisky began to ponder on the efficacy of an open check book. It was also at this period that he took strange service with the police as an “informer’—a not unusual practice and one that was helpful in that it gave him an insight into police methods. Drove Father to Suicide Readers of Victor Hugo's “Les Miserables” will recall a shadowy figure, half police spy, hall desperado, known by the title of "patron.” Serge Stavisky might have been that man’s prototype. The first major swindle that brought him into police ken involved 4,000,000 francs. When the police arrested him, he had only 15,000 francs left and was taken to jail from the gayest of champagne parties in honor of his men and women friends. When Stavisky's old father learned of this disgrace—he killed himself. That was the first suicide of a long train. Stavisky bribed his way out of trouble. His companions, among them the beautiful and faithful mis-tress-and-wife, Arlette Simon, went to prison. Stavisky’s “health” was bad. Physicians certified to it, after the always-open check book had been flourished under their noses. Yet there were warrants out for him which, if executed, would have cost him a thousand years in jail. Banned at Monte Carlo Asa -gambler, and always on the crooked side, liis repeated escapades brought bans against him from Monte Carlo and Biarritz to Deauville. Yet always he succeeded in having his “rights” restored. And his check book stubs became of snow-storm proportions. Many of these stubs returned to plague Stavisky, and many more returned to drive government officials out of office in disgrace. Stavisky’s method, by this time, had been simplified. It was merely to corrupt every corruptible official, to bribe every- crooked functionaire, to compromise every possible statesman. Scores fell into his net. Stavisky's mind delved into a thousand avenues of crime. He would pawn jewels, get full value for them, and then contrive to have the real stones replaced with paste. He forged, raised checks, blackmailed. and took a profit from dope and white slavery. Throughout all this career, how2ver. he maintained his connection with the "upper side” of life. He used pretty Arlette adroitly and viciously. to gain the esteem of some. He provided little cocottes and chorus girls for his sensual friends. He moved in many circles and in devious paths. And he was as handsome and convincing a confidence man as ever strolled a Paris boulevard. Tomorrow—“ Arlette, the Queen of Easv Street.”

Brookside Masons Have Unique Record

Thi i the sixteenth of a aeriea of hltories of Marion county Mtionit Blue Meet which is bein* published each Monday tn The Timrs. A history of Prospect lodce will be published aext week. i \ GITATION for formation of a Masonic blue lodge in the j northeast section of Indianapolis ' had been going forward for some ' time when, in 1922, forty-three Master Masons signed and forI warded to the grand lodge of Indi- ! ana a petition asking dispensation ! to form what was to become Brookside lodge, No. 720, Free and Ac- ! cepted Masons. Long since it had been demonstrated that the few lodges which had their quarters in the Masonic temple. North and Illinois streets, | were inadequate to handle the i rapid growth of Freemasonry in Indianapolis, and the founding of i Oriental lodge in 1875 brought ii',to being only the first of many blue ! lodges with temples in neighbor- ; hood residential sections of the I city. Time has given ample proof of the soundness of this policy for not only did the neighborhood lodges i live and prosper, but also, without j exception, the lodges located in the ; Masonic temple grew steadily larger, stronger and more prosperous. Just such a neighborhood lodge 'did the signers of the petition propose to found when in May, 1922, dispensation was granted to organ- ; ize Brookside. First officers were Eugene Chappel, worshipful master; Clyde Rickes, senior warden; Fred R. Gorman, junior warden; Harry Rosswinkel, treasurer; Willard Lyons, secretary; Ira McCloskey, senior deacon; Palmer Laycock, junior deacon; Aaron Zody, senior steward. Clayton Cullen, junior steward; William A. Holtz, Max F. Hosea and William Arnett, trustees. a a o The lodge held its first meetings in the temple of Oriental lodge which kindly tendered all its facilities to Brookside until such time as the new group could find suitable quarters of its own. It was not long. The Brookside membership demonstrated its faith in the future and unusual enterprise and enthusiasm by purchasing a tract of ground at the southwest corner of East Tenth and Gray streets almost immediately upon receipt of their dispensation to organize. Ground was broken for erection of the temple with appropriate ceremonies on Oct. 25, 1922. and on Dec 16 of the safme year the corner stone was laid with Charle P. Benedict. grand master of the grand lodge of Indiana, officiating. Brookside held its first meeting in its new home on May 23, 1923. when it officially received its charter from the grand lodge. At the dedication ceremonies of the new temple it was pointed out that Brookside had achieved a distinction unparalled in Indiana Masonic history. The new lodge was the first in the state ever to have erected and occupied its own temple while operating under dispensation. An innovation among Masonic structures in the Indianapolis jurisdiction, Brookside temple is set well back from the adjoining streets on a track of land 140 feet by 140 feet and is surrounded by a grove of trees which adds to its homelike and restful appearance. a a tt tHAT the confidence of the grand lodge -and the faith of the founders in the new organization was not misplaced is demonstrated by the fact that today, little more than a decade since its inception. Brookside has 576 active members on its roster. The lodge took the last four lean years in its stride an- 1 vidence of its extreme hea .ndition today it points to the l. *t since Jan. 1 of this year it has received eleven petitions for degrees and one for affiliatoin. Brookside past masters and their terms in office are: Eugene Chappel, 1922 and 1923; Clyde C. Rickes, 1924; Fred R. Gorman, 1925; Ira J. McCloskey. 1926; Charles T. Trueman, 1927; Ralph J. Katzenberger. 1928; John B. Summers, 1929; Basil W. Knapp, 1930; Webster M. Shroyer! 1931; Bert Folkerth. 1932. and Roy Eberly, 1933. Present officers of the lodge are Harry Epply. worshipful master; Edgar L. Ulrey. senior warden; Chester W. Hutson, junior warden; Walter S. Burgess, treasurer; Fred R. Gorman, secret ary; Edward H. Hughes, senior deacon; William Leonard, junior deacon; Manuel H. Robinson, senior steward; Charles J. Lehr, junior steward: Charles W. Davis, tyler; H. B. Tilman. William A. Holtz and G. W. Payne, trustees, and the Rev. R. T. Gwvn, chaplain.

NRA USED BY BLOG FIGHTING MARKET BILL Rayburn to Expose Scope of Propaganda on House Floor. (Continued from Page One) authorities and code committees in the country in its campaign. Lewis H. Brown, president JohnsManville corporation and member of the durable goods industries committee. George Mead, head of a Dayton (O.) paper company, member of the same committee. The Baldwin locomotive works and Johns-Manville corporation are recognized as Morgan influenced concerns. Thomas Newhall, chairman of the board of Baldwin locomotive, is head of Drexel & Cos., the Philadelphia branch of J. P. Morgan. Mr. Houston was brought in by the Morgans to supplant Samuel Vauclain, former head of Baldwin locomotive. The suspicions of Chairman Rayburn were aroused a few days ago when Mr. Mead submitted to him a memorandum criticising the stock market bill which bore very definite evidence of stock exchange cooperation. Denies Redmond Help Mr. Houston told the Seripp> Howard newspapers that the memorandum was printed on the mimeograph machine set up in stock exchange headquarters at a local hotel. He said he had taken it to the hotel at 2 o’clock in the morning, after working on it since 11 o’clock, and Mr. Redmond had it run off for him. He denied that Mr. Redmond had helped draft the memorandum, or redraft it. He said that he and his lawyer had prepared it. He submits every such statement on the stock market bill to Mr. Redmond so there will be no conflict, he explained. He has an understanding, he said, that his committee will concern itself only with sections of the bill affecting industry. His committee and stock exchange representatives worked out such an agreement to stick to their particular interests in the measure, he said. Likewise, he submits such memoranda to James A. Emery, counsel of the National Manufacturers’ Association, for the information of the association. Sent Copy to President “I submit it to others, to the newspapers—l sent one statement to President Roosevelt,” he added. Typewritten in the righ-hand, upper corner of the memorandum submitted to Chairman Rayburn and members of the house and senate committees was “From George H. Houston and George Mead.” Mr. Mead handed it to Mr. Rayburn, but when asked about its contents by the chairman he said he was not familiar with it, but that it has been prepared by a lawyer. Mr. Rayburn says he has found many instances where business men who protest about the bill have not read it. An analysis of the memorandum, according to sponsors of the bill, reveals criticism of provisions of the bill in w r hich business and industry could have no interest and some in which they would have but little interest. The criticism in many cases parallels that of the stock axchange. Want Section 2 Removed Like stock exchange recommendations, the committee memorandum asks for elimination of Section 2 of the bill which states the general purpose of the measure and has no direct bearing whatever upon the interests of industry. This section was inserted to ward off legal attacks on the grounds of unconstitutionality. The memorandum urges change of a section so that private bankers such as J. P. Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb & Cos. could enjoy privileges of regular commercial bankers not | accorded them in the bill, a matte* - the bill’s sponsors say, in which business and industry could have no direct interest. Likewise, the committee seeks elimination of the powers of the proposed securities commission to regulate the affairs of stock exchanges. TRUSTEES NAMED AT METHODIST HOSPITAL Campaign to Assist Poor Is Launched. The Methodist hospital trustees’ board has been named, according to Dr. John G. Benson, hospital superintendent, as follows: Arthur B. Brown, W. E. McKee, Q. G. Noblitt, Fred Hoke, the Rev. W. W. Wiant, Dr. Benson, Arthur Wolf, the Rev. W. C. Hartinger. W. L. Taylor, the Rev.

The hospital has started on a campaign which includes hospitalization for the poor, Dr. Benson said.

Orphan Girl, Her Hearing Impaired by Measles, Learns to Take Dictation by Lip Heading.

■ fluggPWrfr immm wmK& ■

WHEN Miss Dorothy Dobbs takes dictation as secretary to Slater Bartlow, director of rehabilitation in the office of the superintendent of public instruction, one doesn’t notice that she is listening more with eyes than ears. -

For Miss Dobbs is a lip reader, having taught herself the art until she can take dictation without anyone knowing she is hard of hearing. In fact it was this very physical handicap which brought Miss Dobbs to the position which she now holds. That and the fact that she has had high courage during her twenty years in the world. A severe attack of measles left her hearing impaired at the age of 4. When 11, she was an orphan. But with the aid of a brother she determined to get at least a high school education. Living first at Perrysville and then Covington, the girl worked in homes for her board and room and in 1931 was graduated from Perrysville high school. tt a SHE wa| graduated into the worst economic depression in the history of the world. But Miss Dobbs determined to equip herself for a job. Learning of the work of the rehabilitation division she came to Indianapolis and procured aid in pursuing a secretarial course at Central Business College. Through a sharing of state and federal funds, physically handicapped persons are provided with texts and tuition for courses which will fit them for life work. With this help, Miss Dobbs supported herself here until her course was completed. Her first position was as a stenographer on the emergency work program of the rehabilitation division. She demonstrated her ability to such an extent that when the emergency program was abandoned, she was made Mr. Bartlow’s secretary. Because of her own career, Miss Dobbs has a special interest in the 500 persons who are under division supervision, 250 of whom are in active training and the others in line for positions when available. This training is open to any physically handicapped person between 16 and 55, provided that there is possibility of employment after the training has been completed.

PF00IE! SAY EXPERTS EYEING PICTURES OF LOCH NESS SERPENT

By United Press LONDON, April 23.—Curators of the London zoo, confronted today with authenticated photographs of the Loch Ness monster, said they did not care—there might be such a monster, somewhere, but not in the lake. The photographs were taken by representatives of the Daily Mail, which for weeks had an expedition camping on the lake shores watching for the monster in relays day and’night. They show distinctly a swanlike neck rising above the water, with a small head. The Daily Mail pledged that the photographs were taken at the lake and were not retouched. But the zoo men, and experts of biology and zoology of the South Kensington museum, insisted that photographs or no photographs, there was no such monster in Loch Ness. “If you had told me they were taken from the deck of a liner in mid ocean,” said the curator of mammals. “I might have believed you—might have. But no such monster exists in any lake.” Children Found Gems While playing along the Orange and Vaal rivers, Boer children gathered pretty stones. Their collections were found to include carnelians, jaspers, garnets, agates, and rock crystals, some of which were found to be real diamonds; from child’s play, thus, started the profitable South African diamond mining industry.

EXPENDITURES OF RFC FALL BELOWBUDGET Reduced Needs Believed Cause of Decrease in Borrowings. (Copyright, 1934. by United Press’! WASHINGTON. April 23—The government's most important relief agency—the Reconstruction Finance Corporation —is falling nearly, $2,000,000,000 under budget estimates in its relief activities because of reduced needs. Administration officials attributed the decrease to greater than expected improvement in business activity which has allowed some borrowers to repay loans and made is unnecessary for other businesses to ask for money. When President Roosevelt compiled his budget figures for the fiscal year which ends June 230, he set $3,969,740,000 as the outside next expenditures of the RFC, a monthly average of $325,000,000. In nine months of the fiscal year the RFC had actually spent only $1,287,354,800, or about 40 cents for every dollar estimated in the budget. At this rate it was estimated that net expenditures would amount to $1,716,000,000 or $2,253,000,000 under estimates. It would appear that Chairman Jesse H. Jones’ recent estimate that RFC expenses would fall a half billion under the budget was extremely conservative. The extent to which the business improvement has permitted a curtailment of government relief is indicated by the RFC expenditures. More than half of the government's relief money was slated to be paid cut through the RFC. Expenditures for relief through other agencies such as public works, emergency conservation and Tennessee Valley also are far under estimates but show more money has been spent than by the RFC. Banks and other borrowers are repaying loans at the rate of $3,000,000 daily and these payments are expected to reach the billion dollar mark by June 30, compared with estimates of three-quarter billion dollars. In the first nine months they were $627,330,234. SIGMA CHI FRATERNITY TO HOLD STATE DAY Active, Alumni Chapter of Indiana. Michigan to Attend.
