'SELF-RULE' FOR BUSINESS URGED BY HAYS' AID

Course Pioneered by Movie Industry Recommended For Others.

By HARRY MORRISON

Self-government in business, pioneered 22 years ago for the movies by the Hays office, is the most certain way of avoiding government from other sources, Carl E. Milliken, ex-governor of Maine, said last night. Mr. Milliken, who is secretary of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, spoke at the year-end banquet of the Indianapolis Business and Professional Women’s Club at the Marott Hotel. More than 300 members and guests heard Will Hays’ “right hand man” outline the history, duties and accomplishments of the movie tcar’s office. He was introduced by Governor M. Clifford Townsend as

The goals of the Hays office were principally peace among producers and public acceptance of the industry’s product, he said. That the office was successful is

Indiana rural youth, between the ages of 18 and 28, will gather at Purdue University in large numbers for the third annual leadership school June 17 to 231. The week long session will close Friday afternoon with a tour of Purdue experimental farms near the campus under the direction of R. H. Chinn, extension worker.

Plea of Scouts,

Cancel Buffalo 'Bullfight'

BROOKFIELD, Mo, May 24 (U. P.).—Boy Scouts and a delegation of newsboys yesterday accomplished what protests by humane societies and church leagues failed to do— bring about the cancellation of the “bullfight” which was to have been staged tomorrow by the local chapter of the Anti-Horse Thief Association. Sponsors had expected 15,000 persons to crowd the Fair Grounds to watch Dr. John T. McLarney, using a spear, and John D. Latta, with a bow and arrow, dispatch two “ferocious buffalo bulls imported from Texas.” But that, and the barbecue which

The Association agreed to sponsor the event and imported two buffalo bulls. Protests showered down from ministers and church organizations and the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ' threatened legal action. But the matadors and the anti-horse thief members went ahead with plans to stage the fight. Then one of the “bulls” gave birth to a calf. The other “bull” was found to be a prospective mother.

by Judge Baltzell’'s order. Mr. Young reported that the reorganization had been completed except that revenue notes of the new company had not been presented yet to one creditor whom the trustee had been unable to find, and that 1810 shares of the old company’s 8711 first preferred stock shares had not been exchanged yet for stock in the new company. Judge Baltzell ordered that the notes and shares be held for five years and if they are not claimad by that time that they be returned to the club.
