WAR! WAR! WAR! In the dog-days of the summer of 1914. diplomats and kings made feverish, futile moves on Europe* crazy chessboard. War was the game's fatal prize. A month earlier, arrogant Franz-Ferdinand had been assassinated, with his morgamic wife. at Sarajevo by a Slav pat not. It was the spark that touched off the world war.

DOCTORS BLAST AT POLLUTION Head Infections Are Directly Traceable to Water, They Assert. BV ARCH STEINEL Times Staff Writer A small fan stirs the heat, in the doctor's office in the Hume-Mansur building. Indianapolis. Patients fidget in chairs. In and out of consulting chambers walk the patients. A representative of The Indianapolis Times talks to the doctor between examinations. The blow-off comes! Wiping sweat from his ruddy forehead, giving a toss over the shoulder to the stethescope clamped to his neck, he tells why those patients are there. "Swimming in polluted waters. There went a sinus case. It's directly traceable to a dirty beach. Only a short time ago I had a back-stroke champion swimmer that I was compelled to operate upon. Mastoids, middle ear infections, throat trouble and common colds can be traced to swimming in waters laden with bacteria and even in chlorinated pools where they are not kept clean.” "Where can you swim? In your own bath tub and even there you may be infected by someone else who has been swimming in a polluted spot.” was his dismal thought. "But that's not fair. I'm an ear, nose and throat man.

Mr. Warner made his startling charge at a luncheon given for Postmaster-General James A. Farley on a studio set.

Mr. Warner's charges were received in silence by Mr. Farley, prominent Catholic layman, who mentioned the situation only indirectly before the group of film executives and prominent Democrats yesterday, "The same as every other industry. you always will, and always must, respond to public opinion.” Mr. Farley said. "Only by doing that can you hope to prosper and win the approval of our citizens.” Mr. Warner s reference to the Legion of Decency campaign for cleaner film? took the group by sur-

MASS TROOPS AT PORTLAND; STRIKE LOOMS Labor Angered by Governor’s Action in Mobilizing Oregon Militia. By I niti ri pi t ss PORTLAND. Ore., July 20.—Labor, although incensed at Governor Julius L. Meier's mobilization of 1.000 national guardsmen for possible duty on Portland's waterfront. will not call an immediate general strike. After issuing a statement criticising the Governor's action and ; terming it the "most monstrous I thing that has hapepned in the waterfront strike,” labor's strategy committee today renewed its promise to Senator Robert F. Wagner 1 to give him a chance to attempt peaceful settlement before proceeding with a general strike. Senator Wagner revealed this as he boarded a United Airlines plane for San Francisco. Yesterday the committee pledged Senator Wagner that it would cease all activity for a general strike until he had an opportunity to meet with 'he national longshoremen's board in San Francisco. The pledge was made with the condition that troops should not be called out in the interim. During the night. Senator Wagner met with the committee again, and said the members promised him that "they will keep their feet on the ground and not call a general strike until I can look over the situation in San Francisco.”

Mrs. James Goodman, mother of the youth, believed the hanging was accidental. Coroner Walker McHugh believed it was suicide.

“I didn't mean to talk about this.” Mr. Warner began, "but it is highly important to our company. When the Cardinal of Philadelphia says it is a sin to go to the theater, this is very un-American, because it is confiscation of a great industry and of the livelihood of thousands upon thousands of people. “I hope the postmaster-general will issue anew stamp with a picture of one of our charming girls out here on it, charge an extra cent for fi, and send the proceeds out here t- ’’tike care of the distress that 4 oxJd be caused if the Cardinal s e were taken.”

Milling Farmers Shout Hatred at Langer Foes as Legislators Convene

—■——- -

“Governor’' Langer

Military on Guard as Former Governor's Friends Tramp Streets of Capital; Ousted Official May Ask Impeachment of All Enemies. By l niter! Press BiSMARCK. N. D. July 20.—Hundreds of farmers, determination written on their faces, roamed Bismarck streets today shouting their support of William H. Langer, "ousted” Governor. The farmers, members of the Farm Holiday Association which rallied to Governor Langer's fiveyear mortgage moratorium, were defiantly hostile toward Ole Olson, who has taken over the Governor’s office.

Martial law—maintained by a handful of forty national guardsmen, stationed at the skyscraper Capitol building—still prevailed over the entire state by Langers proclamation. Olson, consenting to retention of the soldiers, went about his affairs as “Governor under armed guard. The guard was ordered following threats hurled at him by Langer supporters—many of them federal relief workers. Tension ran through the throng as they waited for a special session of the legislature, called by Langer before he suddenly abdicated his office to Olson, to convene this afternoon. Langer. who placed the state under martial law in an effort to thwart his ouster ordered by the supreme court, was expected to make a dramatic appearance before the lawmakers and ask for the impeachment of Olson, four justices of the supreme court and other state officials antagonistic toward him. The Farm Holiday Association, a major faction in North Dakotas turbulent politics, has indorsed Mrs. Langer as its candidate for Governor in the event her husband, facing an eighteen-month sentence, goes to prison. It was because of Langer’s prison sentence —he was convicted of soliciting political funds from federal relief workers—that the supreme court ordered him out of office and turned the gubernatorial toga over to Olson, his Lieutenant-Governor.

Widow Grilled in Death of Beech Grove Farmer Mrs. Pearson Fails to Shed New Light on Murder of Husband; Bond Is Reduced to $5,000. The bond under which Mrs. Ethel Pearson, widow of Alfred C. <Dan Pearson, murdered Beech Grove farmer, is being held was ordered reduced today from SIO,OOO to $5,000 by Howard Bates, municipal judge pro tern. Vagrancy charges placed against Mrs. Pearson after her husbands funeral yesterday were continued until next Friday.

Meanwhile, crack investigators of (he Indianapolis police department homicide squad today entered the mysterious case after deputy sheriffs failed in an all-night grilling last night to wrest any valuable information from Mrs. Pearson. Deputy Sheriff Harry Cook ordered Mrs. Pearson s arrest because, he said, he was convinced Mlrs*. Pearson “knew more about the affair than she was saying.” Throughout the examination last night Mrs. Pearson remained calm, denied any relations existed between her and William Williams, missing farm hand, and said the last she saw of Williams was Sunday night when he told her he was going away. Pearson's body was found in bed Monday morning with wounds in the forehead, apparently inflicted by terrific blows from a club. Mrs. Pearson, who was sleeping in an adjacent room, told deputy sheriffs Monday that she heard no noise of struggle during the night. Stains on the dining room rug and bruises on Mr. Pearson's body have led officers to believe that the slain man was murdered in the dining room and dragged into his bed later.

AL FEENEY HELPS TO FIND PLEAS' DOG: NOW FOR THE GOAT!

Pleas Greenlee, executive secre- | tary to Governor Paul V. McNutt, i is very happy today. So is a chubby-faced urchin, ■ name unknown. And last, but not least, so is I “Tuck,’’ Mr. Greenlee's prize Llewellyn setter pup. Mr. Greenlee has "Tuck,” the urchin has a dollar, and “Tuck” has a comfortably filled stomach after several days of vagabondage. The dog escaped from the Gov- ! ernor's office this week. Bright and early at 7:15 this morning. Al G Feeney, state safety director, entered the statehouse. He saw the urchin with dog in tow. “What’ve you got there, bud?” said Al, who has had several political brushes with the Governor's patronage chief. “That's Mr. Greenlee's dog, I think,” said the boy. “Well, you'd better come in and j wait because Mr. Greenlee is very ' anxious to have him back.” said Al as he patted the puppy.

ANN SANDSTROM IS FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER IN CARL THOMPSON DEATH

smirs edit THEORY GIVEN AY MHO TRIAL Bank Acted as ‘Angel’ to Cover Insolvencies, Says Mattice. "This bank Was playing angel to failing realty companies in order to keep their heads above water!” Thundering in stentorian tones, Floyd Mattice chief deputy prosecutor, today expounded at the request of Special Judge Alexander Cavins his “theory of guilt” in the embezzlement trial of Melville S. Cohn, vice-president of the defunct Meyer-Kiser bank, on a charge of embezzlement. The request of the judge came as a legal battle ensued for the second day over the admission of certain state exhibits. The legal impasse was reached as Mr. Mattice attempted to introduce a collection account book of the Meyer-Kiser bank in its entirety. Judge Cavins had admitted parts referring to the Frailich Realty Company, which figures largely in Mr. Cohn's indictment. Question Held Crucial "I want you to tell your whole theory of guilt, Mr. Mattice,” said Judge Cavins. "This is the crucial question in this trial.” "It is relevant to prove all other transactions in establishing a conspiracy,” asserted Mr. Mattice. Citing Indiana supreme court cases he concluded with, “But this bank’s policy was to sustain failing realty companies by paying dividends so stockholders would not ascertain the true condition of the realty companies.” Judge Cavins withheld a definite ruling on the admission of the exhibit. Accountant Testifies "If Mr. Mattice can show foundation and sufficient evidence for his charges so that I can admit in evidence all transactions, then I will,” said Judge Cavins as court adjourned until 1:30 p. m. Practically the entire morning was spent in arguments of opposing counsel. The jury spent the session smoking in its ante-room. Chris H. Cartheuser, former employe of the accounting department of the old Fletcher American National bank, testified briefly to a dividend check’s deposit and the withdrawal of the money by Albert Blue, a stockholder of the realty company. Deadlock Delays Case The legal deadlock seemingly ended the possibility that the state would rest its case today. Painter, a certified public accountant. was on the witness stand this morning when the trial resumed. Despite a judicial setback yesterday, w T hen vital sections of a circuit court transcript of testimony by Ferdinand S. Meyer, another MeyerKiser vice-president, were barred from evidence, Mr. Mattice hoped that the state's case against Mr. Cohn might be completed today. Mr. Cohn is charged with embezzling $37.50 in bank funds to pay a dividend to a preferred stockholder of the Frailich Realty Company, Gary, whose preferred stock issue had been underwritten by the Meyer-Kiser bank. Mr. Mattice attempted to introduce the transcript of the testimony by Mr. Meyer taken by Miss Alberta Smith, court reporter for Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox, in a hearing held last year by the bank’s receiver, Thomas Garvin. EX-PU~RDUE~COACTr DIES Walter M. Friel Was Attorney and Veteran. By United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 20. Walter M.

lhe verdict neia lvirs, Sandstrom sane on May 9 | when she shot and killed Mr. Thompson in a hotel room in the nearby city of Mattoon, 111. Sheriff Mack Cochran said Mrs. Sandstrom would be taken to the state reformatory tomorrow. “The verdict suits me; there will not he any appeal,” declared William H. Remy, defense counsel and former Marion county prosecutor. “The verdict, was better than releasing her, but it was not justified by the evidence.” said J. V. Dilsaver, state's attorney, who had argued for the death penalty. ‘I Don't Care,’ She Says As the. jury filed into the court room after its all-night deliberations in the jury room, Mrs. Sandstrom, when asked what she thought the verdict would be, she said, “I don’t care.” She listened calmly to the reading of the verdict—and turned to one of her attorneys with a muttered, “Thanks.” Then she became hysterical. She giggled and laughed as the judge told her to step before the bench to receive the lightest sentence possiblsunder the murder indictment and the verdict. As Judge Van Meter pronounced, sentence, Mrs. Sandstrom broke into a sharp staccato laugh. Her sister, Mrs. Grace Lacker, patted her shoulder and urged her to a courtroom seat as deputy sheriffs made ready to take her back to the Coles county jail. Verdict Is Delayed The jury reached a verdict shortly before 7:30 a. m. A prolonged wait to deliver the verdict ensued when State’s Attorney Dilsaver was late in arriving in the courtroom from his home in Mattoon. The verdict was read at 9:40 a. m. Wearing a summery white dress, Mrs. Sandstrom appeared unconcerned as she awaited the verdict. She chatted amiably over a small diary given her by her sister. In an impassioned plea, Mr. Dilsaver yesterday declared the defense had not entered a single word of denial that “Ann Sandstrom shot Carl Thompson in the back in the U. S. Grant hotel on May 9.” “Take their witnesses” he shouted as he picked up notes jotted by him during the trial. Flails Defense Testimony ' There’s Mrs. Irma Kloer, a selfconfessed busybody who watched every one coming in or out of Ann’s apartment; there was Mrs. Lacker, who came over from Indianapolis to help her sister, as any one would. “Then,” he continued, “there’s the defendant’s son, John, and I have nothing but praise and sympathy for that boy who stood by his mother. “There was Dr. Joseph L. Storey of Indianapolis, who told you that 60 per cent of the women of Mrs. Sandstrom’s age, or near it, are more or less insane, due to physical changes. “If you believe that,” he shouted loudly, “you can look over this controversy and believe that 60 per cent of the women over 40 years of age you see are insane. “We’re not telling you." declared the state’s attorney, “that Carl Thompson was a nice fellow, or anything like that. He committed too many sins for a married man, but he got plenty of encouragement from Ann Sandstrom. You can’t blame everything that happened on Carl Thompson.” Demands Death Penalty He demanded the death penalty. Mr. Remy picked up a pair of pink silk pajamas from the counsel table with a dramatic gesture as he began his defense argument. The pajamas, with a black smudge of burned powder on the breast, were worn by Mrs. Sandstrom the night of the tragedy. The garments dangled limply in his hand. Mrs. Sandstrom touched a kerchief to her eyes and wept audibly as he told of the night of love and death. ‘The state says Ann Sandstrom came to Mattoon with malice in her heart and a gun in her bag to kill the man she loved more dearly than she loved any one in the world,” Mr. Remy scoffed.
