The element of mystery has en-
tered the atmosphere about the big
event next Friday evening at City
hall. OF course you know that Brian
NJ. Jewetts Egyptian Cabaret is be-
ing given there on that night by the
Augusta Girls Community club.
That is no secret because everybody
is talking about it and the clubhouse
is a busy place, these last days of
rehearsals.
But did you know that it is rumored
that four Egyptian princesses have
been imported, especially for the
Egyptian Cabaret and that they will
dance for all of us, next Friday even
ing? They came. clad in their native
fincry. sporting the richest silks and
satins and velvets of the hareT,
adorned with jewels and showing the
latest steps in Egyptian dances. Who
they really are. very few folks know.
but Just as soon as the dancers to
King Tut, four of them, tall and
beautiful. appear on the floor, there
is bound to be something worth
| watching. 1t is said that they are
good for the eyes.
The tickets are selling like hot
! cakes and while that is good news
! to the ticket committee, they still de-
clare that there are some good
| tickets left. and they may be found
! at Partrid2e's drug store in this city

POLICEMAN QUITS;
ENEMIES BLAMED
Veteran Resigns When Chief
Insists on Exams.

Friends Of Henry W. Sandman, who
resigned as a member of the police de
partment Friday, today declared he
was a victim Of a political ring that
for personal reasons forced the veteran
officer out of the department
Sandman had been a policeman for
more than twenty-three years. He had
been a lieutenant and a sergeant. and
had made a record for many important
arrests. There was not a black mark
against his record on file in the board
Of safety's office.
Sandman is a Democrat. He was
reduced from sergeant of the police
emergency squad to turnkey when
Mayor Shank took office. During a
campaign Of the Indianapolis News to
obtain new subscribers Sandman was
said to have offended Otto Ray. city
councilman and a winner in the sub
scriptlon contest. Sandman's re-
duction from turnkey to patrolman
quickly followed Then friends pre-
vailed upon Sandman not to resign. He
was assigned to duty at Satisfaction
No. 3, in Broad Ripple.
Chief Rikhoff ordered Sandman to
report for a physical examination not
later than Saturday. Sandman said
he had just had all his teeth extracted
and was in no condition to take the
examination The chief refused to
grant him more time and Sandman
resigned.
