today, accompanied by zero wea-

A cold wave whirling across the
NORTHERN United States sent tenn
peratures tumbling to the zero
mark and buried the northwest
ern plains under a fall of snow
which impeded traffic and caused
accidents and death.
Tonight the fall in temperature
made itself felt across Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Michigan, and
the first below-zero weather of the
winter was promised before morn
ing in all the central states. To
the west, over the area crossed
earlier today and last night by the
storm wave, thermometers record
ed temperatures ranging from six
below zero in Sioux City, Iowa, to
81 below zero at Wilder, Montana.
Half a dozen points in Minnesota
and the Dakotas reported twenty
degrees or more under the zero
mark.
Aged Men Freeze
Deaths attributed to the storm
tonight at eleven. Aged men were
frozen to death in Minnesota and
Iowa, overcome by cold near their
homes, while Colorado reported
two deaths and Montana one, in the
storm, to increase the total from
the four deaths in the Pacific
Northwest and two in Canada re-
ported earlier today.
Drops Of As degrees in tempera-
lures were reported from many
communities. At Yankton, South
Dakota, the temperature fell sc de-
grees in IS hours, and the weather
bureau forecast drops of forty to
fifty degrees tonight in parts of
Illinois, Michigan and Indiana.

PATRIOT PLEA
Attacks Heart of Defense
in Scathing Attack On
Motives Involved in
Lease Deals
CASE NEARS JURY

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (AP)-
The government today began it's as
sault upon the structure of defense
testimony in the Fall-Doheny oil
conspiracy trial
owen j. Roberts, special prose
cutOr, began the concluding argu-
ment for the government with a
vigorous three-hour plea for con-
viction of Albert B. Fall, former
secretary of the interior, and Ed
ward L. Doheny, veteran California
oil man, for conspiracy to defraud
the government in the leasing of
the Elk Hills, California, naval oil
reserves.
He hurled verbal hand grenades
at the heart Of the defense case
with pointed emphasis upon Do
heny's 100000 loan to Fall on
Nov. 80, 1921, upon the war scare
patriotic motive" as factor in
the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, oil st0r-
age plan, and upon the ''veiiaoiS Sc
crecy" which shrouded the negOtia-
tions between Doheny and the cab
met officer prior to the signing OF
the Pearl Harbor contract on April
25, 1922.
Scouts Patriotic Motive
Touching on the defense conten-
haf
Harbor project because of anxiety
over the strategic situation in the
Pacific in 1921, Roberts said in a
slow, deliberate voice:
Patriotism, bunk They were
after the bushes. It's SO much
moonshine.'
The competition which the de-
fense contended preceded the Do
heny awards was described by the
prosecutor as "an illusory sort of
competition
81 don't think there was an lota
of real competition" he told the
jury.
''This doctrine" said Roberts, al
luding to Doheny's testimony that
he saw nothing wrong in his loan
to Fal, lis subversive to all gov
ernment, inevitably subversive to
honest government Of any kind.
Attacking the defense contention
that the leasing policy precluded
collusion between Doheny and Fall,
Roberts said that all contracts were
negotiated and then carried out
to Secretary DENLY for his rubber
stamp signature-that's all there
was to that"
Case NearS Jury
The concluding arguments began
after three hours of heckling and
quibbling between counsel over 76
tenders of instructions for the
jury, which probably will receive
the case Wednesday noon.
Fifteen of 2S suggested prosecu-
ton paragraphs and 20 of As de-
fense tenders will make up the de-
tailed Instructions. The customary
defense plea for an instructed YER
dict of acquittal was summarily re-
jected by Justice Adolph A. Hoehl-
ing, presiding.
Half of the governments allot-
ted six hours were consumed by
Roberts. The defense will use the
entire court day tomorrow, and
former Senator Atlee Pomerene
will conclude for the prosecution
Wednesday morning.
Reading of the instructions will
probably require an hour or more.
Roberts followed his assault up
on the patriotic motive with a re-
reading OF Doheny's testimony that
he believed the Elk Hills reserve
might yield profit of $100,OO0,0OO.

.DictatorS Get Results

Gen. Peyton c. March, former
chief of staff, has just come home
after five years sojourn in Europe,
during which he visited all the i'm.
portant countries conferred with
most Of the leading statesmen, was
the guest of several kings and got
married.
A naturally observant man. he
brings back some highly intelligent
and interesting views.
He thinks Germany is making the
greatest progress toward rehabilita-
ftion, and that Great Britain is work
ing for harmony, that France is over
burdened with her military load, that
new and reformed Turkey is no
myth and that Mussolini has done
some wonderful things for Italy.
The three men who made the
deepest impression on General March
were Mustopha Renal, Benito Mus
solini, and Primo di Rivera, all die
tators.
This is all the more striking, since
he does not believe in dictatorship
with its suppression of popular rights
and its contempt for Republican gov
eminent.
Speaking of hatred for America.
he sasys that II is very prevalent
and that the presence of large num-
bers of tourists who spend their
money lavishly in countries where
people have to count pennies Is not
lessening It.

T,FT'S JOIN AGAIN

Tomorrow this State will celebrate the anniver-
sary of its admission into the Union of States
That is of course, commendabe and necessary.
For this the greatest nation that has yet been given
place in history.
1t is proud place for any State to occupy, and
which the heirs of all that ii then meant might
well acclaim in honor and in pride.
But it may be fitting to ask what it was that the
men who made Indiana the great State that it was
and should be then joined.
When Indiana Joined the Statehood there was
offered to it the protection of personal liberty, the
freedom of speech, the freedom of religion the in
alienabe right of every to be man.
On this occasion, it might be we'll to register a
sacred vow to join more the sacred circle of
those men and women who believe in true freedom.
What tyranny is there from which Indiana would
escape today if offered that chance to join in
a confederation of liberty?
What has Indiana done to justify its legacy of
freedom and it's heritage of liberty?
1t has lifted one man to it's highest Office and
sent him to a felon's cell for violating it's trust.
Not very much to justify the feeling of pride
and of liberty which should be present on this day.
And If you glance around the State today what

Concerning
'VanitieS'
BY Walter u. Hickman

Earl Carroll has sent a very poor
edition of his "Vanities" to Indian
apolis.
Vanities has always made its
greatest appeal on the amount of
feminine flesh exposed.
Carroll starts this appetite for the
undressed at the very beginning
when about three girls appear un-
adorned, but the look Carroll gives
one is through a curtain or a series
of curtains.
This edition is little more
dressed up in spots than one would
expect in "Vanities." Carroll is not
exposing as much here as he does to
suggest y nakedness. Tights were
used in several numbers by the
chorus.
Whatever strength this revue has
rests in Joe Cook and frankie
Heath, both from vaudeville. Cook
is doing about the same line of
comedy as he gave in the first Vani-
ties and on the vaudeville stage.
About the funniest thing that he
dose it when he takes a children's
reading book and reads about the
little boy stealing the nest Of little
bird. His first stunt. that OF the
mysterio us shower bath is funny and
noisy.
frankie Heath came to notice
while she was in vaudeville. 1t
seems to me that she is trying to be
the female Ted Lewis. She overacts
at times but this method gets the
biggest applause in this revue. Her
maybe" number got more applause
last night than any two numbers
combined.
Johnny Dooley appears in a sug-
gestive sketch which is pointless
and dull. big Shoes" which CORE
spends to one Of the dirtiest stories
have ever heard in a COR skit
This revue does not use the dirtiest
version, but those who have heard
it know where the idea came from.
Carroll in this revue attempts to
over advertise a certain brand OF
ginger ale as we'll as golf balls OF a
certain make. The best song num-
Der is ''Yvonne," by Cliff O'Rourke.
On the whole this show needs voices.
Jack Redmond, a golf expert,
teams up with Joe Cook in a golf
scene for comedy effect as we'll as
expert stunts in hitting the golf hall
This edition of the vanities in no
way approaches the first of its class.
Some of the comedy is so ancient
that one laughs before the joke is
completed.
About the poorest revue I have
seen for a long time. Be your own
judge.

and against which they rebelled.
The men and women who founded this State did
so because they had the hope of liberty and equality
in their hearts.
Could they come from their graves, they would
look with horror and perhaps hurry back to their
resting places, at the things which lethargy and
negligence and indifference have permitted to come
to pass.
Tomorrow celebrate Admission Day
There will be celebrations Of various kinds and
programs in public schools.
Why not let each of these emphasize the liberty
for which the men ard women who founded Indiana
fought and which they welcomed when they entered
the sisterhood of States?
Why not join again and pledge anew adherence
to the faith Of our fathers, holy faith, the dream
Of liberty. of freedom, of equality and Of human
brotherhood?
That would mean something.
