INDICTMENTS GROW OUT OF CAMPAIGN OF MAYOR As.-, eil teil Press Servl'-e: INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct It. Tlie Marion county grand jury returned indictments charging seven workers in the democratic party with various crimes growing out of the indictment of Mayor Joseph K. Hell, his trial and acquittal in the Marion criminal court in ID 14. Anion.: the indicted is Harry VJ. P.assett, secretary to Mayor Hell, one indictment charges P.assett and tour others with conspiracy to present false claims and to receive payment from the city thereon. Other (bar-es made by the grand jury against the accused are false pretense and petit larceny. The grand jury in its report alleges that P.assett was the head of a "spy" sstem built up in behalf of Mayor Hell prior to his trial, and the men employed to get the desired information were paid by the city. In a report separate from the one containing the indictment the grand jury says it has learned conclusively that a former employe of the custodian's, department in the court house, prior U the trial of Mayor Hell, furnished a key to the clerk's ordk-e, and a former county oilicial burnished the means of making a duplicate key to the box in which the names of men eligible for jury service were kept. In that way the names of all men who might be on the j.iry were learned by Mayor Hell long before the trial. Tire statute of limitations has: run against any law violations in that work the k'rand jury says, so no names were made public. .So.

Till: OLIVLK. At the b"x ollice "f the Oliver theater at 10 o'clock this morning the seat sale for the engagement of the biggest musical play of the .season, Klaw A: Lrlanger's musical comedy, "Miss Springtime," will hegin. Pc-pite the heavy demand by mail for reservations for this attraction there are still many good s'ats to be obtained at. the ditferent pri es that have been arranged for the various sections of the theater. Not since the days of '"The Merry Widow" has a light musical shmw so thoroughly caught the fancy of Proadway theater patrons as did this delightful co-laboration of Kaiman, I'.olton and Wodehouse. It ran for more than :;0 0 performances at the New Amsterdam theater, playing all performances to crowded houses and for five months its alluring wih-s drew capacity audiences to the Tremont theater in P.oston. Its brisk, witty story with its haunting; melodies fairly gallop.--, along; to a most surprising finale, and its up--The second characters with their rollicking funmaking. its legions of pert, pretty pirls and picturesquely beautiful embellishment, all combine to Vanish dull care like ma--ric. Tfiis preat production comes here Monday evening following its metropolitan triumphs and under the manapemont of its original sponsors, Klaw r KrlanRf-r. Crank Mclntyre. Zoe Harnett, Harrison Hrockbank, Georg'e Leon Moore, Hattie Hurks. Frank Dunne and Mae Ilennessy are a few of the principals of the company of Tr people er gaged in the presentation of "Miss .Springtime." The chorus is said to he composed of very pretty young girls who sing and dance with the appealling spirit of youth. i hfst ricTnn; i.vi n maim: ron niLnm:v. Jack- not only ascended the beanstalk in the first of the Fox Kiddle features hown at the Oliver theater yesterday, hut he climbed right into the hearts of the audience, for the him version of the time-hallowed fairy tale has been screened in a way to produce delicious goose-flesh in those who wear rompers and con- ! stant chuckles in their elders. j "Once upon a time" is the way all good fairy tales begin, and the story of "Jack and the Heanstalk." which is being shown In pictures at the Oliver theater, is just about the best fairy tale ever written; therefore, it has to begin vith "once upon a time," even when one is telling the story of the big photoplay spectacle, so here goes: Once upon a time there lived a little boy named Jack, who was very poor. He was o poor in fact that his mother told him one day that they should have to sell the old cow which had been their friend for a long number of years; so Jack took the cow to market. but he dreaded to do it. On his way he met a butcher who needed some fresh meat for the people who bought of him. He knew that Jack's cow would make delicious eatinp. so he told Jack he would buy the animal for a handful of beans. Just then a good fairy j came down to earth, lit on Jack's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Take the beans." F0 Jack took them and nave the cow to the butcher. Of course Jack's mother was very very angry when she saw what her son had done. So she threw the beans out of the window and sent Jack to bed without his supper. The next morning they found the beans had sprouted and a big beanstalK had grown right up into the clouds and Jack climbed up to explore, and when he pot to the top he found an enormous city and the good fairy came apain and told Jack he would have to kill the piant of whom they were all afraid. Jack had some thrilling experiences, hut with the aid of the king's army he finally escapes with the little princes, whom the giant had captured, and takes her clown the beanstalk with the piant following, but Jack cuts the stalk and the piant falls and Is killed. The actin of little Francis Carpenter as Jack and Virginia Lee Corbin as the princess is really marvelous, and in stage parlance they "brought the house down" with their love scenes. Hundreds of children take part in 3l n coimpus

the various s enes and the tiny village built for the iuvenile pertorm-

! ers and the giant's castle are s, rip s j of wonder. This mauuiticent spectacle will remain at the oiier toI day, Saturday and Sunday and 5t b j U. be hoped that n child in . oath ilend w ill be deprhed of the pb a--i.re of seeing it. at thi: Al'IMTomrM. It has been a nir time since j Francis Hushman and I'a verly j Hayne have be n seen here, but these favorites are at tlie Auditorium today to delight their many admirers with their latest production. "The.r Compact." which tells the story of James Van Inke Moore (played ! Mr. Hushman, alio goes j west p xid himself of an evil woman who has wrought haoj in his life. in the littl.' mining town h meets a I eautiful girl (played by Miss Hayne) with whom he falls in leve and everything runs smoothly until his best friend. Hob rt For-.st. comes west with his bride, who i no other than the woman Moore had tome west tcr forget. On a trip to his mine Fore-: leaves his wife in the care of Moor- and she begs him to keep her secret which he promise to do. An unscrupulous man of the town meets Forest's wife and ünally induces her to run away with him. The luisband returns and his wife f-lls him that she is running away to escape the attentions of Moore, but in the end, of course, the truth becomes known and then Moore and the ir irl he loves face a future of happiness. The piece is said to give both Mr. Hushman and Miss Hayne ideal parts. There are some intensely dramatic situations and many beautiful scenes are shown throughout the picture. "Hubbing It In," one of those clever .-'idney Drew comedies, is also beim; shown. On tomorrow's hill are "The Little White Cirl." the ei-hth release of the series of short stories, "Do Children Count?" featuring that charming little child actress. Mary. McAllister; "A Little Speck in Garden Fruit," a two reel O. Henry story; "The Pawnbroker's Heart." a two-reel Keystone comedy, and the Pathe News, which is one of the most interesting features on the screen today. AT Tili: CASTLF. Devotees of the silent drama will have World-Hrady to thank for another wholly satisfying picture when '.Shall We Forgive Her?" is shown on the Castle's screen today and tomorrow. June Elvidge and Arthur Ashley are the stars of the occasion and while the latter is cast in a vlllian role, his acting will be liked. To find something new in photoplay outcomes is of itself an accomplishment, and it may well be considered a further achievement if the novelty is presented, as in this case, in a manner to give every possible "punch" to the various situations. Miss Elvidge is cast in the role of a girl whose misplaced love and trust in her only sweetheart leads to her downfall. The second episode of the great western serial entitled "The Fighting Trail" is also on the bilk The basic plot of this unusual story contains a goodly amount of possibilities. A tworeel Charlie Chaplin comedy entitled "The Woman" rounds out the Castle's program. AT Till: OPJ'IiriM.
