Jf&tifcK hr Arthur Brisbane SUPREME COURT SAYS YES FACES, NOT LEGS PROFITS SECOND—F. D. R. MOTHER-IN-LAW’S DAY

The Supreme Court, five to four, decides that the New Deal is a good deal, and the old law of supply and demand, the sacred right of the individual ‘To do what,, he chooses with his own,” are not as important as they used to be. Specifically, the Supieme court sub taining New York state’s law to control milk and milk prices, says a state may fix prices by law, and the citizens must submit. This decision, taking from individuals and giving ! » to the state the right to run business, i was handed dow n just as Pres. Roose- [ veil, broadcasting, was urging na- j tional support of the new plan. In the long run congress, and even ! the mighty Supreme court, go as the people go. The Supreme court once ‘ declared for slavery, ordering the i abolitionist protector of a runaway j slave to return hun to his owner. It j decided against the income t*.X, and. a Constitutional, amendment was 1 necessary to overcome th^t. C. L. Theed, justice of the peace in Coconut Grove, announces a new j, 4' beauty contest in honor of the* legions” gathering in FI rida. Young ladies in the contest will be fully clothed; judged by their faces/ not : by their legs, a bleeped relief. If bulifrogs on frog farms in ! Louisiana had a beauty contest, only j the legs would count, legs being ail ; of the frog th~t counts. Y°u don’t care about the fri g’s expression or j | intellect, and only ask for fat thighs, j Something more is asked of a young ; woman, destined, presum bly, to be- j come a mo.her, and her brain is the' important thing, since, iccording tol Huxley, it puis her above a savage) bushm n is far as the latter is above j a blade of grass ! Well-shaped legs end a simpering j face do not make a beautiful woman, j ‘ In any beauty contest the forehead j should count 60, eyes 20, momh and j figure each 10 per cent. Spe. king from Constitution hall in Washington, the President told 4000 code delegates, and the whole nation about his first year’s work; emphasUing his conviction th t humanity is more important than prlfi'a. One year haa made him familiar with intense popularity, and the bursts of applause dttf nor surprise hfm. The President read a message of congratulation from the head of the American Bankers* association assuring him that banks are in absolutely sound condition and hearti y approve the President's financial policies, also indicating that “super-liquidity” no longer seems so important to banks, and lending in the old way will soon bbgin again. Amarillo, Tex. celebrated “Mother in Law’s day” Husbands, by request, brought flowers to their wives’ mothers. Part of Main street was roped off, as a “parade ground for mother in law. "There were “contests for the fattest, leanest, younget, and oldest and the one having the most in-laws, also a beauty contest.” Amarillo seems to. have made the most of its holiday, which should remind a certain type of American that it is most stupid and unworthy to ridi cule the mother of his awn wife and the grandmother of his children. Ifthey* have any good qualities they probably inherit them from that grandmother. Gilbert White, painting a mural for the agricultural hall in Washington, seeking female models in France found no perfect female figure, and declared the French women improperly proportioned—“ Their legs are too short." - Schopenhauer made that complaint of all women. He could not understand how anybody could call “beautiful" that “narrow shouldered, broad hipped, short legged thing, woman” See hit “Studies in Pessimism." Short French legs did not keep Susanna Lenklen from playing tennis better than any long legged AngloSaxon female ever played, and they do not interfere with the fact that long legged females of England and America borrow their styles from French women and try to look like them. Besides, perfect figures in France may not be looking for work as artists’ models. If you an occasional airplane accident, and ever feel inclined to doubt the ultimate, absolute conquest of the air and of weather conditions, stop thinking about a few rare accidents, and consider what progress flying has made within a few yean. Soon ships will fly around this earth in 48 hours and flying will be as .much a matter of course with every-1 body as railroad travel is now. To prove that she is “coming back" despite the Versailles treaty, Germany plans a mass flight of powerful planes from Berlin to the former German colonies in West Africa—per- ' haps to remind the present owners of those colonies that something disagreeable might happen, some tune- '

HALA-HANN ASKING FOR NEW TRIAL Circuit Court Denies Appeal; To Ask Supreme Court. . A supplementary motion for a j new trial for Tiala and Hann was s tiled in court yesterday afternoon. I The motion is supported by afiidav- ) i s alleging that Rev. Hayes Willis i of Winona, who was a member of j the jury, asserted prior to the trial : that “Tiala is a Bolshevik and a ! hed and should be deported.” The Warsaw of March 12 states: Motion for a new trial for ) Alfred Tiala, national secretary of the United Farmers League, and Jesse Hann, from near Syracuse, who were found guilty of obstructing legal process in a verdict of a i jury in Kosciusko circuit court, was denied, Monday, by Judge Donald | Vanderveer, and the defense attorneys were given 90 days in which to | tile a special bill of exceptions. D. J. Bant,ll, defense attorney told the court that the case would be appealed to the Supreme Court. Attorney Paul Glaser of Gary., ! counsel for the defence, announced that new evidence had been disecovered since the cefense motion was overruled and that affidavite mill be tiled charging that Rev. tia..e* Wlitis of Winona Lake, who served as a member of the jury in he Tiaia-Hann case, made the ! assertion on Feb. 1, at the east en- [ trance of the court house that “This fehow , Tiala, is a Bolshevik and a i teed and should be deported. ” The anidavits will be signed by Ralph Mookey, 'north <>f Wcifcaw, his wife i Mrs. Anna Hilliard and Mrs. Robeit j .Spangler, the attorney said. The | tri..i took place on Feb. 14 and Rev. w illis was selected as one of the jurors. The defense attorneys claimed they would appeal to, the Supreme Court and ask- that this court release Tiala and Hann at once without bail, according to the Warsaw Times. Tne defense attorneys filed twq affidavits according to The Union, in one they charged that “the court records do not show the objections and exceptions taken when the jury was asked, “Do you believe in Constitutional right of Free Speech." In the second affidavit it is stated that during the .arguments of Paul Glaser he read from hte Congressional Record, an official publication, to which the stale objected. The court is alleged to have sustained the objection to which at that time the defendants excepted. The affidavit alleges that said ruling does not * appear on the record of the Bill of Exceptions. The defense claims there were 49 errors in the trial of Tiala and Hann. According to the Union a few of these are; Error of Law in overruling motion of defendants for separate trial. Error of law during trial when pr- spective jurors were questioned. Error of tne law in that the court [ eared in overruling defendants' motion for a directed verdict of not j guilty made at the conclusion of the | state’s case to which the defendants objected at that time. * Errbr of law in that the court erred in refusing to permit defendants’ counsel to ask the question, when impaneling the jury, “Do you believe in the Constitutional rights of free speech," to which ruling of the court the state at that time objected and which objection does not appear in Bill of Exceptions 0 f the court reporter. That the verdict of the jury ia contrary to lavg. That the verdict of the jury is contrary to evidence. It was impossible to get in touch with Prosecuting Attorney Rowda baugh, yesterday morning, but Attorney Walter Brubaker, who writh former Judge Royse served as state attorneys in pA-osecuting the case, stated that if the case is carried to the Supreme Court it would not likelv be heard for several weeks, that the notice that this had been done would be sent to the prosecuting attorney and the countv clerk. Mr. Brubaker said that the case would be “tried on paper," before the Supreme Court, not witnesses being called, just the records of the trial in Wrasaw being shown. He saj£ it is within the power at the Supreme Court, if it so wishes, to release Tiala and Hann without bail.

C. OF C. TO HELP SELL BANK STOCK Colwell to Appoint Committee to Assist to Sell Stock Turned in by Former Owners. Not content with a vote of endorsement of the movement of selling stock in the Syracuse bank, members of the Chamber of Com merce, at their meeting, Tuesday, agreed that Warren Colwell should appoint a committee from this group satisfactory to the depositors committee, to assist these men in selling stock in the new bank. Ch . les Purdum, chairman of the depcs tors committee, who had plan- , ned to attend the meeting of the Ch mber of Commerce was unable to do so, having gone to Indianapolis on business for the Sturm and Dillard Gravel Co. Dr. C. R. Hoy, trustee for the stockholders of the State Bank of Syracuse, stated that he knew that the selling of stock campaign would begin either Wednesday or today. He explained that 83 shares of stock had been turned in for sale, and that perhaps another 33 shares would be turned in, making a total of 116 shares, the greatest possible number of shares which would have to be sold, out of the total of 360. Os the shares to be sold, Hoy explained pledges had been made to take care of 29, at the depositors’ meeting, Friday evening, without any organized effort to sell these shares. Dr. Hoy also put forth the argument that the town could now have a bank for around SIO,OOO, repre- : senting the par value of stock which must be sold, whereas, if the present bank is liquidated $40,000 i would be needed to finance a new bank in Syracuse. And this town could not exist without a bank, he added. Recalling what he saw and experienced in Virginia, Mr. Shannahan. manager of the Goshen division of the Northern Indiana Power Co. , who was a visitor at Tuesday's meeting, told of the misery, the pitiful plight which was caused by a bank failure in the section of the country where he was located there. “Business does not come to a place where there is no bank,” Mr. Shanahan warned. o— WEAVER ARRESTED IN INDIANAPOLIS Former Local Youth, said to be Carl Weaver, Charged with Robbing Stores in Indianapolis.

With the appearance of warm sunshine this week came the numerous reports of first robins seen this spring. At the school house, Tuesday morning, Eugene Deutsch reported that he and his brother and mother had seen a robin in Thompson’s Grove on the turn of,road 13, as Mrs. Deutsch was bringing the two boys to school in the machine. On the way back to the office from the schoolhouse, with, the “first robin” announcement, the editor's wife stopped in the postoffice, where Mrs. Bert Ward told her she had seen a robin that morning. In a few moments Nellie Mann came into the postoffice and said she had seen one from her window that morning in Rev. Pettit’s garden. Arriving st the office the editor's wife teamed that Louis Heerman had announced to the editor a few moments before that he had seen a robin that morning and wanted credit for being the first to announce it. Heerman had made the announcement in front of Jim Kroh who said he had seen three robins, near his home, Monday afternoon. Spring isn’t due until March 21st.

After working hard to call his farm near Silver Lake his own, and having reached the place where hs could almost see sunshine beneath the .mortgage, William Geiger was stunned, Tuesday morning, when the farmhouse burned, destroying his crop of onions stored there, his butchered meat, canned frui|, etc. , There was no insurance. Mr. Geiger had spent a few days here with his wife and family, and his daughter Wilma, w’ho makes her home 'with her fahter at the farm was in the house with Mrs. Willie Patton, whose husband was tenant there, when the two women heard a crash, Tuesday morning about 8 o’clock. They thought perhaps the chimney had fallen over, and Wilma rushed upstairs—to find the flaming roof had fallen in and the upstairs was ablaze. Some of the household goods were saved. Mr. and Mrs. Patton have four children. With Wilma they came to Syracuse to tell the sad news of the house “entirely destroyed by fire” to Mr. Geiger. He almost collapsed when he first heard it. O SEE CHICAGO FROM WINDOW OF HOTEL AND FILMS FROM AFRICA Mr. and Mrs. Harry Porter and Roscoe Howar4 spent Sunday in Chicago—at the Palmer House. The only time not spent in the hotel was the time it took to travel from the station and back there again. They went there to meet R. W. Michael, on his way to California on six months leave from Angola, W. Africa, where Mr. Porter had worked. Mr. Michael had taken 2,000 feet of movie film during his term of work just completed in Africa, arid time not spent in eating at the hotel was spent seeing moving pictures. i Mr. Michael was born in Goshen, lived there until he was 17, he said, and remembered coming to Lake Wawasee in r tandem to camp on the lake over the week end. When scolded for not coming to Syracuse he said he didn’t intend to leave the warmth of the hotel until he arrived in Sunny California When asked what impressed him about this country on his arrival back here after several years absence, Mr. Michael said he thought the country as a whole was in a big hole. But that he noticed a marked change in the behavior of the general populace. He said before he left this country, when the depression was young yet and prosperity had first been reported around the corner, everyone was so inconsiderate of other human beings, that if one happened to be about to enter an office door in New York and another person were coming out at that time, the other person would slam the door closed and shove one out of the way. But today—its different. Michael said that now if one meets another in a doorway, the other man holds the door open and steps * aside bidding one enter, sort of “you first my dear Alphonse. ” He said there is a general politeness now which there was not, before; that adversity brings people 1 together. Talking about “what this country : needs,” he said it was his expert 1 opinion, ahem, that there should ' be no tax exempt bonds. That going businesses now must pay more 1 taxes ‘to help the government in its 1 new policy of supplying work to those unemployed, but that all the 1 idle money instead of being put into 1 these going businesses where it * would be taxed, is now being rushed into tax exempt securities. i ■ O < ,p CATCHES PIKE 1 >lll Georg jT-ppert caught a 15 pound t pike, i : iag with a minnow, tbrouglhQtpeJfe,., Sunday.

NO 47 BANKUME LIMIT NOW MARCH 24 Extended by State as Progress is Made by Workers. Developments in the local bank situation during the past week are: The time limit for culminating the plan of rehabilitating the bank has been extended from March 15 to March 24; Roy Darr has been designated by the depositors as their choice for the trustee representing depositors in the liquidation of 75 per cent of the old- bank, following George Xanders’ resignation; 120 shares of stock will have to be sold and between $16,000 and $20,000 in deposits will have to be waivered before the bank can open on a class 'A basis with federal insurance of deposits. At the depositors’ meeting last night, Charles Prudum stated that the time limit had been ■' extended by the banking department. He said that the latest information was that assessment had been paid on 225 shares of stock, leaving 120 shares to be sold. Pledges have been made to take up 29 shares of these 120. The committee from the Chamber of Commerce to assist in Jelling the stock had not been appointed last night. There seems to be a strong sentiment developing that until all depositors have not signed waivers, an attempt to fry to sell stock would be useless. So probably before the stock selling campaign commences, another drive to obtain signatures of the few depositors who have not signed waivers, . will be made. At the meeting of bank depositors Friday evening, George Xanders offered his resignation as onje of the trustees of the assets to be liquidated if the 25 per cent payment plan went through. He said when the plan of .eopening the bank had been suggested the direc >rs asked many depositors o be on „i s board. >f trustees, anOjrtvhen sevwil had fused the dire*ti»fttj had announced to him he was to %yvo as n trustee He said he the position with misgivings. Later,' ue continued, he had been told that $ re depositors were objecting to him as one of the trustees, as he owned, or represented, a few shares of stock. He told how depositors ’had! a chance to elect a trustee of their] choosing at the meeting in the High School several weeks ago, but that no other was named. He said, “I will resign if it will get any depositors to sign the waivers.” Xanders then explained that over 380 persons had signed the waivers, with him supposedly to be one of the trustees, and in consideration of them, that his resignation would not become effective until the two trustees, Stephen Freeman and Mrs. Fannie Hoy, held their first formal meeting. “That will be after the bank is opened,” he said. These two will hten elect another trustee, according to the provisions in, case of the resignation or death of a. trustee. k . His resignation reads as follows: “To Stephen Freeman, trustee; Mrs. B. F. Hoy, trustee; In liquidation of the State Bank of Syracuse. “Please accept my resignation as trustee in the above to be in effect at such time as the above bank has re-organized and you, as trustees have your first meeting. Geo. L. Xanders. ” After Xanders had announced this resignation at the depositors meeting', Charles Purdum appointed a nomination committee, C. C. Bachman, Claus Bobeck and Arthur Blanchard, to name a candidate for trustee, who will naturally be appointed by the other two trustees when they hold their first meeting. The committee afiter conferring, brought back the name of Roy Darr. Bachman, in making known the selection of the committee said that the best service could be expected from the one with most at stake, and/that Darr was known to be a large depositor. Purdum asked that Darr be appointed unanimously by the depositors, present, which was done. Purdum then told the assembly that assessment on 220 shares of bank sotek had been paid, and that everyone realized that some shares were going to be put up for sale. Purdem said that he was going to buy five shares of stock and wanted to know if anyone else'present was willing to sign a pledge for some of the shares. Before the meeting closed 29 shares in the new institution had been sold or pledged. ri
