arkansas Diamonds.

Arl,an~u; has several diamond mines
that have turned out about 5000 dia-
monds valued at about $4,000. The
geological formation in which the gems
are found is called peridOtite and is
akin to the famous South African kim
berlite. 1t occurs in chimneys like
those of South America. The Arkan-
sas mines have been neglected during
the war. With diamonds increasing in
price and popularity, it is said, the
mine owners are making plans ta

Don Martin, the correspondent of the
New York Herald whose devotion and
hard work in covering the Argonne drive
for his paper cost his life, is to be one
OF the two men for whom the American
Legion will permit posts to he named.
The other is Quentin Roosevelt,
New York newspaper men who fought
in France already had applied to the
headquarters of the legion and the legion
had gladly given them permission to
honor their post with the name OF a one
time colleague whose tradition is one
of the finest of the profession and who
died in uniform when a similar appli-
cation came from the returned fighters
of Silver Creek, y. Y. Silver Creek was
Don Martins birthplace and the sur
viving members of his family still live
there Martins own sentiment for the
little village on the Lake Erie slope
was well known among all his friends
So the legion has granted authority to
use his name there as well as in New
York city. The latter post will be known
as Don Martin Post of Silver Creek"
The newspaper mems will be Don Mar
tin Post OF New York"
Permission will be given to Bronx
post to use the name OF Quentin Roose-
welt. when. similarly. the veterans OF
Oyster Bay made the same application.
So far there are only two instances in
whicb.the same name has been granted
to two posts
Don Martins mother. two sisters, a
brother and his twelve-year old daugh-
ter live in Silver Creek and his body,

buried there as soon as arrangements

WAR RISK CHANGES
Veterans Want Insured to
Haze Choice of Methods.

Amendment Of the war risk insur-
ance act will be urged by the American
Legion through its legislative commit
tee in Washington in order to allow
men insured under the act to elect
whether their insurance upon maturity
will be paid in instruments or in one
lump payment.
Former Senator Luke Lea and former
Representative Thomas w. Miller joint
chairmen of the committee. plan to have
legislation introduced Immediately TO
effect this alteration in the act.
The present form OF war risk insur-
surance is known as term insurance and
is payable in monthly instalments for a
period OF 240 months. This may be
converted into ordinary forms Of in
surance such as straight life insurance,
twenty or thirty year paid up life in
surance and endowment insurance Ex-
cept in the cast OF a matured endow-
ment these forms OF insurance under
the present act are payable only in In

SAYS SHE'S REALLY HIS
Justice Luce Is Forced to In
quire Nature of This Strange
Dance.

shimny dancing and shimmy dancers
(spelled Just that way. too) have been
formally brought to the notice Of the
Supreme Court. While this new form
OF the art Of Terpsichore has penetrated
everywhere. or at least the discussion OF
II has. the sacred precincts OF the STU
preme Court Building has been strangely
immune until
George White OF the Scandals Of
1919" applied yesterday before Justice
Luce In Part l, Special Term, for a
temporary and permanent Injunction re-
straining May Gray, known on the stage
rs Blda Gray and one of the principals
in the Shuberts' "Gaietles of 1919"
from performing her peculiar style of
dance In the latter show or in any other
show during the present theatrical sea-
son.
White. in his moving papers, says that
his attention was directed to the work Of
Miss Gray early in March Of the present
year. She was then shaking a shimmy"
at Maxim's cabaret, and through Sophie
Tucker, another shimmier of note. he OBJ
tanned an introduction and engaged her
to appear in his show during the season
OF 1919. He gave her a guarantee OF
thirty weeks work, he states, at salary
OF SIS a week. with the privilege of re-
newing the contract for another season
at the rate of SIPS a week.
The shimmylng of Miss Gray. White
states, is a very superior article-much
more so than the shimmying of any
other performer on the stage, either past
or present. Her absence from his show
and her appearance in the show Of
rival concern, White says. Is injurious to
the business interests Of George Whites
Scandals, Inc. II Is alleged that Miss
Gray refused to appear at rehearsais
when not hed TO do so. and this caused
the plaintiff much trouble in securing the
services OF another dancer to fill the
part which had been written especially
for Miss Gray.
William Klein, attorney for Miss
Gray admits that his client signed the
contract as alleged, but states that
White failed 10 live up to his part OF
the contract and engage another girl 70
assist her in the contemplated act. He
says Miss Gray tore up the written con-
tract in Whites presence, and II was
only remembered that an oral contract
also had been made when Miss Gray
made hit as shimmier in chief with
the Shuberts He further alleges that
this alleged oral contract was only
tentative agreement
In her own statement, Miss Gray was
extremely modest az to her talents in
the shimmying line. She admits that
she is not the best shimmy dancer on
the stage, as White alleges, and says
that there should be no difficulty In
obtaining any number of young women
who could All the part quite as well as
she. There was also an affidavit from
Sophie Tucker, who told Of the intro
duction OF the principals.
Justice Luce admitted that the greater

LUSTGARTEN'S TRIAL
FOR LARCENY OPENS
Accused Man Wears Army
Uniform in Court.

William Lustgarten, lawyer and for
mer president of the insolvent Tax Lien
Company, also head Of William Lust
garten & Co. and several other defunct
concerns whose trial on an embezZle-
ment charge In connection with the $780,
900 failure OF the Tax Lien Company has
been pending since August, 1917. was
put on trial yesterday In General Ses-
sions before Judge Grain on a grand
larceny Indictment based on the COM
plant Of Robert Schalkenbach. n printer.
PIG William street.
The latter alleges that Lustgarten in
March, 1915, obtained from him the sum
of $4,000 on the representation that a
pool was being organized to include
Lustgarten and four others and that each
OF the parties to this pool was to sub
scribe $4,000 to obtain for approx
mately $4,000 a piece of East Side
property which would yield substantial
profits within a year through a resale
Mr.. Schalkenbach says he purchased two
shares In this so-caled pool.
The Indictment charges that this
money never was used to purchase any
real estate. but was deposited TO the
credit OF the Tax Lien Company through
the American Exchange National Bank
and was used to meet obligations Of
that concern.
The complainant also AYERS that Ius--
carten for more than two years lulled
him into the belief that the money was
being applied to other Investments and
thus kept him from lodging a complaint
sooner.
At the time Of the Tax Lien Company
failure Mr.. Schalkenbach was one Of
several persons who received notes from
the lawyer, following his disappearance.
saying that he was about to end all ac-
counts by committing suicide.
But the vanished operator It later de-
veloped, had enlisted in the army and
WAS traced to Washington, where he was
engaged in bureau work for the War
Department. Later he shipped overseas
as Corporal Allen II. Wilson with the
309th Sanitary Train. He was found
in February OF this year In France, and
on the request OF District Attorney
Swami was returned TO this country In
May by the military authorities. He
received his honorable discharge at
Camp Upton early in June.
Lustgarten in court yesterday wore
his service uniform. with two service
chevrons
The proceedings yesterday were taken
up with the selection of the Jury and
