That Former jury

Surely some official will take interest enough in
the matter of political corruption to inquire into the
meaning of the report filed by the grand jury which
for eleven weeks probed the Stephenson charges
That jury spent eleven weeks probing into
political corruption 1t gathered evidence now
available to the prosecutors
Witnesses fed mysterously, when subpoenas
we're issued for them.
Men left the State on unexplained missions.
They apparently selected their own time to tell
their stories.
The partner of Stephenson was one Of these
That body was then on the search for documents
which Stephenson said he could deliver.
One girl, formerly associated with Stephenson,
ran away and for week remained under an as
sumed name in Cincinnati hotel.
There were circumstances which strongly sug-
gested that very powerful influences were at wo-z
to prevent witnesses from talking and keeping them
away from that grand jury
Then at the finish, when welldefined rumor
declared that four of the jurors wish to return
indictments the jury reported that it's failure to
indict the only possible report it could make
under the conditions which existed within the
jury"
That report itself an inferential accusation
that there unusual conditions within the jury
and that it prevented action which should have been
taken.
The people know what happened to the jury
which succeeded it and which was charged with
continuing the PROBE
Judge Collins has sentenced man for con-
tempt and the contempt for which he convicted him
was the offer of bride to a juror.
The charge was that the bride consisted of
money and city job, offered for very definite
purpose.
If that happened to this grand jury, what might
have happened to the former which invited sus-
picion of its surroundings and actions?
If there was necessity for bride offers now what
might have been expected under the probe of the
former jury?
Is it too much to ask that the members Of that
grand jury be asked officially, what they meant
when they said they could return no other report
because of conditions existing within the jury?

told, has given the liberals to understand
they must quit fighting else face our marines. True
to his word, Sacasa and his seem to have
yielded to this major force.
Thus the liberals are not laying down their
arms because they are licked out of respect for
diplomacy. They are quitting because their
leaders are unwilling to send their to their
death against impossible superior forces.
This newspaper still believes that when Secre-
tary Kellogg recognized the Diaz government and
landed marines to bolster him in Office he made a
blunder which will cost dearly in prestige and re-
spect from Texas to TERRA del Fuego. But having
made that bunder the only thing left to do short

LOOKING OVER NEW
SHOW AT PALACE

Roy Rogers at the Palace the first
half adds quite few more names
to his list of friends.
Rogers, by a peculiar body make
up, is able to do things in an eccen-
trio dance that are of humorous
nature that would be hard for any
one else to duplicate.
His characterization of a drunk is
lust the thing for a lot of comedy
and he has no trouble in putting it
across.
The other members of the act are
two women and another man. The
women offer some song and dance
specialties.
"The Corner Drug Storev is a
rather laughable sketch concerning
the romance surrounding a certain
drug store in a little town. The
people in this act are all clever
enough, but there is one woman
who does some really fine work along
character lines. We do not know
her name, but she takes the part Of
the hard-boiled young bankers
daughter who has her eyes set on
the new soda clerk.
This act has a good, fast, snappy
ending.
Lemeau and Young are two young
women who are opponents of poppy
dancing and harmony. They have
worked out good bit of comedy
in the act and get across nicely.
Eccentric comedy forms the back
ground Of the act Of Herbert Faye
and company. Faye is most of the
act, and he has comedy lines all
through the act that are funny.
The two women present offer some
dance and song specalties and the
man acts as the foil for most of
Fayes comedy.
Joe Fanton and company open
with some athletic features and Of
fers a pleasing act of it's kind.
The feature picture this half, "The
Yankee Clipper" is a perturbation
of the start of the American mer
chant marine. Although romantic
story, the picture shows the first
struggles Of the young republic
against English rule on the ocean
and the final chapter where the
Stars and Stripes are assured a
place on every ocean.

row. By the Observer)

attracts most Americans. The sign
over the place declares that tea and
liquor is sold there. Rogers re-
marks that the tea" is the drawing
card. If l may judge the entire
travel series by "Will Rogers in
Dublin" l can with safety predict
that this series is a WOW and then
some.
Bobby Henshaw is an intimate
funmaker although he uses his
luke" only once if remember
correctly. AS usual he has an as
sistant in the audience as well as
one on the stage. He is different
from most mimics and comedians.
He gets the laughs every time he
wants them.
A comedian of a different order
is Lou Cameron. If L am not all
wrong he is one of the Four Came
rons, now "hoohng" it with other
assistants. To me he is unique as
a fun getter. In fact, riot. His
fun is delicious.
1 did not stay for all Of the Bar
tee Sisters Revue, but 1 wanted to-.
l got all but the closing, l think.
Here is an act of melody which has
class and charm. Each member
works with intimate charm and UNI
Outstanding of entertaining values.
Must tell you about Don Valerie
on the wire. Here is one man on
the wire that you will want to see.
He does some sudden things, like
the "black bottom" on the wire and
n sensational split. Splendid is this
man.
The Four Covans are real dancers
when it comes to tap dancing and
kindred hard shoe dancing. An act
of real merit. Cecil Alexander has
an eccentric tramp act. Barrett and
Clayton indulge in a sketch about a
detective who must prove that he is
q detective.
It is some show this week.
At the Lyric all week.

! fornia recently asked for my opinion
concerning hesitation and manner.
isms. / am answering that question
with the following pointer and COM
ment:
Never use information derived
from your partners hesitation or
mannerisms.
The only serious objection to the
game Of Bridge is that it offers op-
/ portunities for unethical practices by
/ those willing to benefit by the
thoughtless words, facial expressions
or undue hesitation of a partner.
There is no law to punish such
! offensesJ against the ethics and ETH
quette of the game-it is impossible
| to frame any such law; but the code
/ abounds in advice upon the subject.
/ 1t calls offenses against etiquette
objectionable, as they are not sub
ject to prescribed penalties and adj
vises that those who are habitual
offenders against etiquette be ostra-
cized from reputable Bridge games.
The following are excerpts from the
official code:
"A player should not allow any
hesitation or mannerism Of his part
ner to influence his own declaration
or play"
"A card should not be played with
emphasis nor in such manner as to
draw attention to it,"
'No player should hesitate I'M
necessarily"
The worst offense of all is the
hesitation bid" BY that I mean
a bid made by a player whose hand
does not justify it, but who makes
it because his parentr's hesitation
indicates that the partner has passed
with strength. Fortunately SUCH
practices are rare, but when they
do occur. ostracism is the effective
and proper punishment.

Stimson Stops Kellogg's Show

After months of muddling Washington has
moved at last to put end to an ntolerabe situa-
ton involving useless bloodshed in Nicaragua.
Largely as result of Secretary of State KEEL
loggs misguided wire pulling at Managua, civil
war broke out some six months ago between liberals
and conservatives over the presidency.
Toward the end of 1926 American marines were
landed on the pretext of protecting American lines
and property. But we were assured they would re-
main perfectly neutral as between the contending
forces.
Immediately however, this alleged neutrality
became an international farce We impeded the
liberals at every turn. We aided the conservatives
wherever possible When the liberals were about to
win battle, we made the battlefield neutral zone
and forbade further lighting. When the conserva-
tiyes had the advantage, we let the battle proceed
We sold arms to the conservatives but prevented
materials of whatever nature, even medicine
falling into the hands of the liberals. And so on
1t became perfectly plain that our intervention
was for the purpose of upholding the conservative
president, Diaz, whom our wire pulling had put in
power, and to defeat the liberal Sacasa, constitu
tional president by virtue of having risen from the
vice presidency upon the resignation of the duly
elected chief executive.
Having gotten in this deep the only half way
decent thing left for Washington to do was to
stop further fighting Long ago Dr. Sacasa told
Scripps-How newspapers that he would lay down
his if ordered to do so by the United States
which country he would not fight under any circum
stances Here cue. HavSg determined
that he would not allow Sacasa to be president it be-

Debt Boomerang

Matthew Woll, one of the ablest
labor leaders in this country makes a
splendid argument for debt reduc-
ton If not cancellation in the current
issue of the American Photo En-
graver.
He points out that the effect of the
foreign debts will be to increase our
import trade and decrease our export
trade, which should be obvious to
anyone who has given the matter
thought.
The only way European nations
can pay us what they owe is by sell
ing more goods to us than they buy
from us, or by selling goods to other
nations and taking our market away
from us.
." Our legal rights in the matter are
of less consequence, perhaps than
our industrial feature.
We face the possibility of losing
two dollars in trade, if not more,
for every dollar we collect in cash.

After Mothers Day

Mothers day is now behind us. 1t will be nearly
year before we again enjoy the spectacle of great
commercial institutions taking up the cudgels for
neglected motherhood.
In the interim we might, individually, take stock
OF ourselves. Are we the dutifu thoughtful, loyal
sons and daughters might be? Did the flowers
and candy we bought Mothers day go as atone
ment for year of neglect?
Now is the time to think of those things-not a
year from now on the next Mothers day. 1t takes
a lot of flowers and candy and jewelry to make up
for twelve months of selfish neglect.

loo Much Heroism

The greatest glory goes with the
greatest hazard, and men often take
unnecessary risks to make a higher

that I did not recognize him when
he made his first entrance. Byron
makes Witzel dirty human being
cruel on the surface, but folded away
somewhere in his makeup is COM
nonsense kindness toward man.
Byron at no time loses his character
ization. 1t is a sustained piece OF
work. often unpleasant, but done
with so much honesty that he does
not offend. The fact is, he about
convinces. Byron always will be
remembered for his work in The
Music Master" last season and as
Witzel in white Cargo.
A season or two ago l told you
that Robert st. Clair had the
spark" which makes a young man
into an actor. That spark has been
famed for months and today 1t Is
a blaze.
This man in white Cargo" has
his most important role of his career
in indianapolis. st. Clair as Allen
Langford, chap who becomes just
dirty white cargo" has caught the
spirit of the part to such an extent
that 1 am willing to say 1t Is one
of, the five best Characterization
that the Berkell company has given
this city.
st. Clair is now catching the vari-
Gus Shades" in character, and he
is mastering the trick of putting
over these Shades" This man has
ability. He is growing and study
ing. And that makes success.
In declaring Byron and st. Clair
a. success / probably should have
included Herbert Dobbins as the doc
tor under the same head. He, too,
is giving a characterization this
week which will cause him to be
remembered with ease. 1t is the
doctor, you recall, who really holds
the key Of this tragedy.
There is only one woman In the
cast, Tondeleyo, played by Jean Oil
yer. She makes a mistake in not
making her skin much darker be-
cause Tondeleyo is a common sand
walker" Her conception of the role
is not as vigorous as it should be,
but that is due to Miss divers de-
sire not to offend. Tondeleyo is a
rotten character. Miss Oliver makes
her less bad and more artistic. More
like a magazine cover.
7 The cast is satisfactory and in
ciudes j. F. NARROW, Tom Pawley,
Larry Sullivan who is wearing ear
rings: Sidney Jerome, (splendid) and
William V. Hull.
The setting is in character, in
fact mighty realistic. A better
handling of the lights will bring out
the realism of both the set and the
dramatic atmosphere.
You know my idea Of this play, it
is melodramatic theater, expressed
in sensational sex way.

Agnes Tanning, the younger of the
two sisters, who have for a mother
a cruel, heartless. selfish person.
The older daughter has been
away studying music, but one day
her mother has misgivings Of a
sort and she calls her home. On
this day Steve comes home with
the biggest fish story he has ever
told. His story, and he sticks to
it,, is that while roaming around
some secluded places in the woods
he has found n baby some one has
left. And he brings home the baby
as proof. OF course every one
doubts the fisherman's story and
nasty bit of scandal crops up.
Steves engagement is broken off
and his life centers down to nothing,
but the care of the little baby, whom
he has named Kit, and his mother.
The action carries along for
stretch of fifteen years and many
are the things that happen in this
time. Kit has grown up into a beau
tiful young girl and "Lazybones"
has not aged a year, while the girl
he was to have married shows all
the marks the brooding years have
caused.
There is some fine drama in these
last two acts, and it is Of a deep
and significant kind, although there
are relieving breaks of comedy to
keep it tempered well enough.
Elizabeth Taylor as Martha Tut
tie, the loving mother of Lazy
BONES" who was never certain of
the exactness of her statements, was
splendid characterization and the
same can be said of all the rest Of
the company.

By NJ. e. Tracy

The National Industrial Council,
which is composed of 800 trade as
sociations with an aggregate mem
bership of more than $4,000 EN-
ployers, wants to see the production
of laws and regulations curtailed.
It's secretary, M. j. Hickey, esti-
mates that 10000 bills have been or
will be introduced into the State
Legislatures meeting. this year, and
that one fourth of them will result
in new statutes.
He regards the orgy of law max
ing as mainly responsible for the
crime wave.
He says that though our courts,
lawyers and public officials are fully
aware of the chaotic condition. they
show no disposition to reduce the
output.
