COUNTRY IN FAVOR
Of PAREDNESS
Will be No Political PIaythinq,
Says John Sharp Will
liamS.

Public sentiment is for adequate
preparedness and a strengthening Of
the United States navy, considered
the first line of defense, is looked
upon with favor by the people of
the United States, as a whole, ac-
cording 10 John sharp Williams OF
Mississippi, who arrived in South
Bend early Tuesday morning for his
address before mem bers of the
Knife and Fork club at the hotel
oliver Tuesday night
Sen. Williams, a southerner of
pronounced type, and man to
whom the middle name, Sharp, is
more than appropriate, was loath to
discuss at length details Of the pre-
paredness or any other program
facing the satin congre ss. However,
he did not hetray his reluctance, ex-
cept in his skillful parrying of ques-
lions answerable for publication.
There viii be little difficulty in
getting the preparedness program
through" ne said, land il will not
be a matter for the playing of pol
tics. There are a few standpat
democrats opposed, but where one
democrat voices objection, two re-
publicans Will vote favorably. SEN
timent in favor of adequate prepar-
edness is too great for legislators to
make it a political plaything."
That the adoption Of a measure
providing adequate preparedness will
be bipartisan. but that party lines
will again be drawn when ii comes
to the matter of how 70 secure rev.
enue for the financing of the plan,
is the opinion of the Mississippi sem
atOr.
Sen. Williams smiled broadly and
cnuckled quietly over questions of
presidential candidates. The name
If Justice Hughes of New York was
preached and provoked a laugh. He
would be foolish TO rum" said Mr.
Williams. Mr.. Wilson has rs
chances in a hundred To win and Mr..
Hughes has everything to lose"
That democrats in congress are
back of the president and that the
acid test Will find united ranks
where some objection to certain
matters seems, from news reports,
to exist, is Mr.. Williams opinion

the senator in outlining his plans for
returning Wednesday to Jackson,

DANGEROUS CURVE
ON SLIDE REMOVED
New Bridge at Leeper Park Made
Bank To Stop Sleds
Necessary.

Workmen were busy Tuesday at
Leeper park removing from the to-
boggan slide a dangerous and at
times disastrous curve, so far as
sled work is concerned. The
eastern terminus Of the slope and
frce-way has been changed from
that Of a year ago, but it is hoped
the old arrangement. or a similar
one will be in working order We'd
nesday.
Construction Of the new bridge
meant a discontinuance of the slide
which went under the old structure.
and the danger of a sled going into
the river at the eastern terminus
caused the building Of a small wall.
1t was at this wall, falling to make
the turn, that several hobs bobbed
their last. The wall will be removed
and snow bank put in its stead.
and farther back from the track.

AGENT Of BENEFIT
SOCIETY ARRESTED
Balnit LaZar When Arraigned
in Court Says Papers
Were at Fault.

Bal'nt Lazar. $40 y. Walnut ST.
pleaded not guilty to charge of en-
bezzlement Of $500 when he appear
cd before Judge Warner in city court
Tuesday morning. The case was set
for Friday morning and Lazar was
released on $1,000 bond. Atty.
Charles HaEerty represented the
state and u. u. Kenneth appeared
for the defendant Kenneth told the
Judge that the prosecutor h-d been
mis.nformed regarding the case and
warned Hagerty that his client, the
complaining witness. Andrew Szilayi
Of Westvnle might be made the de-
PENDANT IN a suit for malicious pros
ecuticn.
According 90 the complaint Lazar
made away with a check for $500
issued by the Hungarian Sick Bene
II Society Confederation Of Bridge
port. Conn. 20 Andrew Szilayi
The arrest Of I.azar appears 10 be
the outcome Of a series of litiga-
tons. According 10 the defendant
who IS the local agent for the sick
benefit society. the trouble comes as
the result of two Wills When the
father OF the complaining witness
died the mother received 81. 900 from
the society. half Of which belonged
10 her and the remainder 10 her
three children. Andrew being the
only one of the three 10 have reach
ed the legal age. two-thirds of the
$500 was placed i'm the hands of a
guardian. the pastor of the Hungar-
ian Presbyterian church Then the
defendant alleges that Andrew Sc
cured some money from his mother
through devious ways and left the
city after she had secured judgment
against him which could not be coll
lected.
Sometime later the mother became
III and is alleged 10 have made n Will
leaving the insurance she was TO get
from the sick benefit society to her
two younger children. one Of whom
was at the orphans home and the
other at the tuberculosis hospital
The mother recovered but was later
forced 20 go to the poor farm where
it is alleged the son coerced her into
signing a second will. leaving all her
assets TO him and making him ex-
ecutor OF the Will.
According TO LaZar, It is necessary
20 make out certificates showing the
heirs 10 the insurance of the con-
Germ he represents. This was not
done and when the attorney for An
drew wrote TO the Bridgeport Sc
ciety asking for the money. a check
for $500 was sent To him made out
10 Andrew. After comforting with
attorneys Lazar decided that he
could not legally turn over the money
70 the eldest son and sent the check
and an explanation back to the So
ciety. The embezzlement charge is
the result.
