HOW DrOLI! He Says
OperGtic Stars Are
Real Human Beings

CHICAGO. May 12.-Grocery clerks
and opera stars-they are all the
same under the skin.
That's the conclusion reached by
George NJ. Spangler, business man
ager Of the Chicago Opera Company,
after six months of dealings with
opera stars.
Artistic temperament-au bosh,
Spangler said in an interview.
Before I took this job l was just
an ordinary business man. / had
heard so much about artistic tempera-
ment Of opera stars, was worried
to death"
Spangler said he found them just
ordinary human beings like other
regular folks.
Managing opera singers is just as
easy as directing any other group
of persons IN any other line Of work"
he said. They have the same feel
ings and emotions as we do"
Any overworked, overwrought per-
sou is touchy, Spangler explained in
giving ~sort Of insight into how
opera stars got that way, according
to the popular understanding.
But when their nerves are quieted
finest people in the world" he con-
tinued. They enjoy a home cooked
meal or dance the jazziest jazz music
you ever heard"

Probe.

WASHINGTON. May I2-Brewing in
terests Joined with prohibition leaders
today in a demand for legislation pre-
venting the sale of beer for medicinal
purposes.
Oliver T. Remmers. counsel for the An
heuser- Busch breweries, and Wayne B.
Wheeler, counsel for the Anti Saloon
League, appeared before the House Ju-
dietary Committee in favor of the Vol
stead BILL which would prevent the sale
OF beer for medicinal purposes and would
check further importation Of liquors until
the domestic supply is reduced.
Remmers charged that the present pro-
hibition law. with respect to liquor. Is
not being enforced and asked a congress
sional investigation into general condi-
tions in the interest of those brewers who
are obeying the law strictly.
Wheeler said the greatest evil now lies
in the great volume of importation Of
liquors.
Remmers said that the impossibility Of
the equitable and impartial enforcement
of prohibition laws permitting use Of
beer for medicine will result in crtti-
clsm and abuse Of manufacturers OF law
full cereal beverages and may bring fur
ther ruinous legislation upon the indus
try and destroy the soft drink business.

Teddy of Gay
Life Exploits
OutWits Again
$500 Bond Strangely DiSGp-
pears, LikeIUise Woman
Who CGrUeS Well.

''Teddy," alleged woman Of the under
world who wears a 81, 200 fur coat and
who is said to have a police record in
Kansas City, Mo-. visited Indianapolis
last month, and her visit was costly to
a number of men victims, 1t is said.
However, Teddy got away cheap, and
today Inspector of Detectives Herbert
Fletcher would like to know where she is.
George Hutsell, city clerk, would also be
interested in knowing "Teddy's" where
abouts.
Incidentally a $1,000 bond signed by
Frank Glenn 10 insure 'Teddy's" ap-
pearance in Criminal Court was forfeited
by Judge James Collins in Criminal
Court few days ago. Detectives smiled
and remarked that there was another
bond of 81 800 cash at the city clerks Of
flee. and that "Teddy's" visit had really
cost her almost as much as she had made.
However, it develops that there Is no
81 500 posted at the city clerks office and
thereby hangs a story Of a clever bit Of
bond business.
Teddy O'Brien, a woman later identi-
fed as Marie Champion OF Kansas City,
was arrested after it is alleged she had
robbed a travelling salesman of $32 in a
room at the Hotel Severin and when he
followed her from the hotel she is said
to have stabbed him. In city court she
was bound over TO the grand jury April
II and Alsey F. Champion, said to be an
ex-cOnvict with a long police record in
Kansas city and in Texas, who says he
is the husband Of the woman, appeared
and put up a $500 cash bond in the
office Of the city clerk and she was re-
leased.
The statutory charge against the
woman was continued and when she ap-
peared in court April %, it was dis
missed anu she walked from the court
room, but was met by detectives who ar
rested her on a warrant charging grand
larceny which was sworn out by an
other man who alleged the woman
robbed him OF a 5000 diamond ring. She
was also bound over to the grand jury
on that charge and sent to jail. She re-
manned there a short time.
Mr.. Hutsen explained that a man by
the name of Laffey asked to recover the
81 800 cash boud after the woman was
sent to Jail, but that he refused. Cham
pion, however, appeared later and was
given the money, inasmuch as the records
showed that she was in jail charged with
grand larceny. Mr.. Hutsell said that he
had not noticed the other entry charging
her with grand larceny and with assault
and battery with intent to kill.
