MRS. 0RTHWEIN
CRINGES, CRIES
States Attorney, in Argument
Asks Oaly Verdict of
Manslaughter.

CHICAGO, June 24-Mrs. Cora C.
orthwein crlnged and wept today when
she was attacked as "the scheming, cola
blooded murderess" Of Herbert p.
ziegler.
Lloyd Heth, prosecutor. charged that
Mrs. Orthwein did not slay the Coca
year Tire and Rubber Company execu-
tive in self defense, but that she planned
the crime.
This woman killed Ziegler because
he grew inattentlve to her" said Hetn.
"She was old and he turned to younger
women. She asked the jury for square
deal What kind Of q deal did she give
Zegler's wife and child?"
Ben Short, Mrs. Orthwein's attorney,
made the closing argument for the de-
fense when Heth concluded. He asked
freedom for his client because, he said,
she shot Ziegler to save her own life.
1t is expected the case Will go to the
jury today.
The State did not ask the death
penalty for Mrs. Orthwein. Heth asked
that she be found guilty of manslaughter
which carries with it a sentence Of from
one to ten years.

Governor Warren T. McCray. Auditor
william G. Oliver, Secretary Of State Ed
Jackson and Custodian Roy Couch held
conference today to determine what
should be done about the doors Of the
Statehouse Work of painting and grain
ing the beautiful quartered oak doors
has stopped with the graining practically
applied, as a result Of protests against
covering up the natural beauty Of the
wood.
During the last two days various per-
sons engaged In wood refining business
have inspected the doors and have rem
dered expert" opinions. The Governor
said the thought the present process is a
SHAME" but at the same time he pro-
duced letters from three wood finishers
saying nothing else could be done be
cause Of the weather beaten condition Of
the wood.
Il simply remarked when I was in
speeting the building recently that the
doors should be refnished," the Governor
said. "Mr. Couch went ahead and or
dered them painted without saying any
thing to me.
Il don't know that anything else can
be done, but we are still looking for
way out"

Want o. DiUOrce?
Hire o. DetectiUe
to Fake Evidence

NEW YORK, June 24-Croolxed
divorce detectives and lawyers are
operating so extensively throughout
the United States that the "hce of the
country is threatened" Supreme
Court Justice Norman S. Dyke of New
York told the United Press today.
These gangs are arranging fake
evidence, supplying bogus correspond
cnts and employing professional
perJurers, he said.
He recommended national revision
of the present law to allow trained
State Investigators 30 probe the evi-
dence offered in court and find out
whether 1t is true before final degree
Is granted.
"If this were done many of the
divorce cases now granted would be
thrown out of court" Dyke said.
There are detective agencies through
out the country supplying profess
slOnal perjurers for the divorce
oourts and we judges are powerless
against their scheming systems. These
perjurers are trained in their despic-
able trade and 1t Is hard TO catch
them.
"a divorce court Judge must be
very wary and watehfuI We throw
out OF court any case where we can
find symptoms OF collusiOn. but we
are pOwerless to Investigate the truth
of the evidence under the present law.
you VIII find when the family ties
of a nation are being cut as easily
and with as little effort as is now the
case, II is a sure Indication of the de-
cline of a nation"

m. Saturday and wind up the busi-
ness of its convention tomorrow
night.
The contest for the presidency be-
came so hot today that President
Samuel Gompers was forced to warn
against electioneering by federation
organizers.
Gompers stopped the proceedings of the
convention when a half dozen campaign
conferences were on in various parts of
/ the convention hall, and said:
Il am informed that some organizers
Of the Federation are interfering with
the election Of officers. No organizer
has the right to espouse the candidacy
OF any one.

HARDING PASSES
COUNTRY'S PROD
ON TO CONGRESS
Public, Tired of HOrSepIGy,
Demands Action From
SOIOnS.

WASHINGTON, June 24-President
Harding is "jazzing up" Congress to-
dey as IT has not been 'jazzed up" since
it was convened by him in extraordinary
session April II.
The "jazzing" had its inception in the
food of protests pouring In upon the
White House and the Capitol from all
sections and classes of the country at
the failure of Congress to speed up the
long promised program for relief from
taxation and business depression and the
consequent high cost OF living.
For two months the President virtu-
ally kept his hands off Congress beyond
Offering occasional suggestions to its
Republican leaders as to how they might
best meet the pressing need for domestic
legislation.
The Senate and House split on Army
and Navy appropriations and on foreign
relations.
The Republican members of the House
Ways and Means Committee got into a
wrangle among themselves over the tariff.
Finally the President, spurred on by
the Republican national committee and
by Republican leaders back home"
stepped In. During the last few days
he has had several Republican leaders
of Congress Mt the white House. They
returned to the Capitol to inform the
Republican rank and file in the Senate
and House that the President wants both
tariff and tax legislation provided be-
fore the present session ends. The stu
alton has altered suddenly. The ''back-
fire" from the country is making itself
felt. and Congress is really beginning to
speed up.
Republican leaders now are talking diff
ferently.

American Government and institutions
were ridiculed.
The climax came when Redding and
McGavick unfurled an American flag,
threw it on the ground and applied the
torch.
Rose, in uniform, rushed from the side
walk and commanded Don't"
Several shots were fired. Roses body
fell across the burning flag.

CHICAGO, June PA plot to restore
the spark of life to two executed muir
derers was frustrated here today.
Jallor Lawrenz Meisterheim who dis
covered the plot, ordered that the bodies
of Grover Redding and Oscar McGavick,
who were hanged early today, be held In
jail for two hours after execution
The plan, according to the jailer, was
to rush the bodies Of the murderers to
an undertaking room Immediately after
execution and apply hot blankets and
pulmotors in an effort to restore life.
steisterheiml stated that he had def
mite information that the gallows was
almost cheated last December when
spark Of life was restored to Nick Blanca
who was hanged.
Blanca, few seconds later, died "a
second time" according to the jailer
Mesterheim said it would be possible
to restore life in cases where the con-
demned die Of strangulation if treatment
were applied soon enough.

BETTER SCHOOL
LEAGUE FIGHTS
FOR BUILDINGS
Back Men on Board of Edu-
cation Who Favor I'M
proved Facilities.
SOME ARE FIRE HAZARDS

Indianapolis must have new and
better school buildings" is the slogan
of the Better School League of In
dianapolis," an organization which
has been formed for the purpose Of
continuing on the school board the
three socalled majority members
who have been insisting on the erec-
tion of more buildings Immediately.
In a twelve page pamphlet which has
just been issued, the League has set out
in purposes and the causes that move 1t
to action. In it's conclusion 1t recon-
mends the reelection this fall of Clar-
ence Crippin, Mrs. Julia Tutewiler and
B. $. Gadd, and the election to the board
Of Fred l. Willis and James L. Pierce.
The booklet, published under the cap
tion, why make the Kid the Goat?"
reads as follows;
indianapolis must have more and
better school buildings. Only a vastly
enlarged building program can restore
the lost supremacy Of the Indianapolis
school system. Once In first place among
cities of Its class, indianapolis has
slipped far down the list Our school
system Is inadequate. 1t must not be
sol
DO you know that more than 1900
school children in Indianapolis tLis year
have been limited to half day sessions
because there are not enough school
rooms?
DO you know that many thousands
more are crowded into buildings that
are a positive menace to their health
poorly lighted, poorly heated poorly
ventilated1
DO you know that through antiquated
fire prevention and fre-escape apparatus,
situation that is greatly aggravated by
overcrowding, many indianapolis school
buildings are potential fire traps? Does
Indianapolis want TO see 173 children lose
their lives In a school fire as at Collin
wood2 Does Indianapolis want TO see
the lives Of 22 children go out In the
torturing agonies Of n schoolhouse fire
as at Peabody, Massachusetts?
DO you value your dollar OF taxes
above the health, the education aud even
the lives Of your own and other children
You as a voter have the power to help
determine what shall be the school pro-
gram in Indianapolis.
CHILDREN ARE
GREATEST ASSET
Your influence now and your, vote at

the present policy shall be continued
the policy of providing fun school IA

The school children are the commu-
nity's greatest asset. Upon them the fu-
ture Of Indianapolis depends. They are
the citizens, the taxpayers. the business
men, the philanthrop!sts, the lawyers, the
teachers. the ministers OF the future.
Now, they are absolutely dependent upon
indianapolis for their education. They
