claring that certain notes held by

A statement issued by Winston,
Strain G. Shaw, Chicago attorneys
for Dean, O'Natavia & Co., said:
1.-The failure OF Dean O'Natavia &
Co. is not attributed to any un-
usual market conditions or to the
depreciation in value of any Of the
listed securities traded in by that
firm, but for some time past the COM
pany has been carrying on their
books stocks of some corporations
which are not actively traded in
upon the stock exchange and for
which the market is slow.
Value Limited
Recent developments in connec-
ton with these stocks has further
limited their value as quick assets
thus the firm found Itself with
slow assets in which too much OF
its working capital was tied up.
Liabilities to banks are in ex-
cess of $2O,o00,o00, all Of which is
said to be fully protected by collat-
eral.
with the present market it is
not anticipated there will be any
loss to the banks or to the custom
ers of the firm"

Walkers Have
Plans to Aid
Traffic
Pedestrians Respond to
Times Appeal for
Ideas.
By the Traffic Editor

Indianapolis pedestrians have their
should be made safe for them. And
some of them have no love for mo-
torists.
l learned this from the letters to
The Times in response to an appeal
for suggestions as to how the board
of safety should regulate traffic to
improve conditions for walkers.
Why not bar automobiles from
downtown sections? suggested one
writer. What right have drivers
to go whirling through crowds OF
people with those death dealing ma
chinese" he said
Can they not be prohibited from
certain districts? If they have bust
ness in the closed sections why can
not they walk as we'll as others?'
There is no reason why the danger
Of death from machines cannot be
eliminated from part of the crowd
ed streets. at least during certain
hours of the day.
walk" Period Favored
But many favored the plan of the
board of works that walk" period
be put on stop and go" signs.
Yes, give a walk sign an even
break at all crossings with the stop
and go sign" said Anson Evans,
1927 w Ray st. He also suggested
that busses be prohibited from turn,
ing around at the Kentucky Ave-,
Washington and Illinois st. corner
Buren ]. Mccoy, 619 e. Miami ST.,
also favored a traffic change for pc.
destrians only.
II thing that although this system
would slow down the automobile
traffic, it would make the town safe
for the man who walks" he said.
A writer signing himself H. R. S.
suggested that no turns be allowed
at the corners until north and south
and east and west traffic is out OF
the way. Vehicles desiring to turn
would remain next to the curb and
wait until the through traffic had
been cleared. under his plan.
No Turns Proposed
Proposal OF the city plan commits
sion that there should be no left or
right turns allowed at busy corners
on Washington St., was favored by
A. B. Cornelius.
IF pedestrians are to have any
consideration or protection. there
should be no right or left turns at
Washington and Pennsylvania, Me-
ridian and Illinois Sts.," he said.
Left turns are now prohibited
but why? 1t is for the benefit OF
the automobile, but the right turn
is permitted and exposes everybody
to an attack by automobiles.
George owen, S203 Boulevard Pl.,
was another who favored the abol-
ishment Of all turns at the con-
gested corners.
do not think l am writing from
the standpoint of the pedestrian
alone, for 1 have an automobile and
one Ford, and l know the trials and
tribulations of the driver" he said.

Want Ads Help Many
Enjoy the 4th

Tomorrow will see hundreds of
Indianapolis families on their way
to the various resorts and picnic
sites that are within driving dis
tance of the city. 1t is impossible
to estimate the benefit that is de-
rived from these holiday and week
end outings. But the automobile
can be given full credit for making
them possible. And the WANT ADS
can be given large measure of
credit for making the automobile
possible for scores of families. The
Classified Columns Of the Times
have become the recognized market
place for used cars, Dealers as well
as individuals are day after day
selling cars through the want ads.
The low cost of this method of sell
ing has been responsible for the
lower prices asked for good cars and
has made car ownership possible
for many people who could not
otherwise have owned an automo
bile.

on KIinck Motion - Indl-

Prolonged Affair.
By Blythe Q. Hendricks
Times Staff Correspondent


NOBLESVILLE, Ind, July
3.-Earl Gentry, held here with
D. G. Stephenson and Earl
Klinck on charges of numbering
Madge Oberholtzer. 1902 Uni
versity Ave, Indianapolis, will
face trial in Hamilton Circuit
Court Monday.
Setting Of Gentry's case for trial
at that time marked the end Of a
long, determined, bitter fight be-
tween the State and the defense.
The defense made every effort pos
sible to force Klinck's trial first,
while the State was equally de-
termined that the case of Stephen
son should be the first one tried.
The end came suddenly today, fol-
lowing overruling Of a defense mo-
ton to set Klinck's case for Mon
day, by Judge Fred E. Hines. In
this motion the defendants Stephen
son and Gentry waived their right
to trial first.
Motion Not Verified
Judge Hines, in overruling the mo-
ton, said it was not verified, as mo-
tions for continuance should be. Eph
Inman, chief defense counsel, said it
was not a motion for continuance,
but merely a consent by Stephenson
and Gentry that Klinck should be
tried first
Judge Hines then overruled the
motion and said that as the case
then stood, Stephenson and Gentry
would go to trial Monday. Inman
then filed a motion for a separate
trial on behalf Of Stephenson, sim
liar to the one for Klinck filed and
granted Tuesday.
The Judge granted the motion for
separate trial for Stephenson, and
said that this left Gentry the only
defendant to go no trial Monday
Both defense and State attorneys
expressed themselves as satisfied.
The defense, however, before fill
ing the motion for a separate trial
for Stephenson. asked exception to
the ruling Of the court on the mo-
ton to set the Klinck case for Mon
day, and were granted sixty days IN
which to file a bill Of exceptions.
Trials to Follow
AS the situation now stands, the
separate trials of Klinck and Steph
enson will follow Immediately upon
the end of the Gentry case, unless
the defense should take some steps
in the meantime for continuance
of the two cases until fall.
Setting Of Gentry's case for Mon
day was in effect a drawn battle
between the State an dthe defnese
the defense being particularly
anxious to try Klinck first, while
the State was bent on having Steph
enson's trial first.
The entire defense legal staff was
on hand for the proceeding today
| The State was represented by Ralph
K. Kane and Justin Roberts, prose
cutor of Hamilton County.
Indications are the Gentry tria
will be long drawn out, defense at
torneys predicting it will take about
| a week to obtain jury.
