Monkey Glands Get
Doctors Ha-Has

BIZ United Press
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 24.-The
cream of Americas physicians was
united today in agreeing that the
much-discussed monkey gland op-
Grafton has turned out to be nothing
more or less than a total loss to
the medical profession.
What was reputed to be the I'm
side" story of treatment that was
once hailed as an up-to-date fountain
OF youth reached ears of doctors who
are getting the ''low down" on their
business at the annual convention
here of the American College of
Physicians.
London society women, it was un-
derstood, have become victims to
the rejuvenation fad in large num-
bers, and their conduct has become
increasingly Simian in tendency.
They play apish tricks and declare
preference for nuts. raw vegetables
and similar monkey foods, the gossip
goes.
DIR. William A. Ackroyd, Bingham
ton, N. Y, heard the scandal and
uttered an emphatic, Il told you so.
It's just as clear as sunlight. My
observation has been that the slxit-
fish old parties who get set of ape
glands act like 2-year-olds simply
because six weeks peace and rest
in a hospital will put any man on
his feet again. Another thing. they
really believe they are going to lose
thirty years at one blow-and that
helps, too"

The two Negro before breakfast"

Police say since the first of the year

walking along Pratt ST., between ILL.,

Why two men fired a bullet into
the home of Garavin Alexoff, $50 N.
Warman Ave-, at 1890 a. m. today,
remained a puzzle to police. Mrs.
Alexoff said she was awakened by
knocks and responded. Unable to
understand them she told the Of
ficers she slammed the door. Alexoff
pulled back the window shade and
watched them. Turning, one of the
men whipped a gun from his pocket
and fired. The buleet struck the
house near where Alexoff was stand

City Coal Pile NolU
Furnishes Mystery

The latest mystery at the city hall
is what became OF the carload OF
coal that was delivered TO the garb-
age plant Oct. 4.
A bill was sent some time ago to
the sanitary board by the b. G. Dud-
ley Company for a carload Of forty
tons of coal which they sent to the
garbage plant from Terre Haute,
Oct. 4. The. board refused to pay
the bill saying the coal was not re-
ceived.
The company then tried to collect
from the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. The railroad company Of
ficials appeared before the board this
morning and proved that they had
delivered the coal oct. 4 and had
taken the empty car away Oct. Z.
Everyone on the sanitary board
denies any knowledge OF the coal.

TWO WHO ROBBED
GARY THEATER
MASK IDENTITY
Youthful Bandits Get 5000
at ShoW-CraSh Into
Bridge.
Ru limited Pre8S

BIZ United Press
GARY, Ind, Feb. 24.-Two youth
full bandits, believed to be college
students, are held in the city prison
here today on charges Of robbing
the safe of the million dollar Palace
theater here of 5000.
After herding the ushers and the
manager, Maurice Hawkinson, into
room adjoining the lobby while a
show was in progress Wednesday
night, the bandits escaped with the
money from the safe.
An hour later their auto crashed
into a bridge near Valparaiso and
they were captured by Sheriff VIII
liam Forney of Porter County and
Police Captain Reynolds of Val
paraiso.
They were returned to Gary and
grilled throughout the night but re-
fused to reveal their identity, al
thought readily admitting their guilt.
1t is thought their parents are
prominent Chicagoans and that the
youths were attending college in
OnlCdSO.
None Of the three hundred per-
sons attending the show knew of
the hold-up until the two youths had
fed, although they were in the
theaterN more than half an hour.
Walking calmly into the theater,
the two youths covered the doorman
and head usher with sawed-off shot
guns and showed them into nearby
room.
Guided by the head usher. one of
the bandits rounded up the other
ushers. Hawkinson was caught
when he accidentally stumbled into
the human corrall, unaware that a
hold-up was in progress.
Hawkinson took the bandits to his
office and opened the safe rather
than run the risk Of some of the
employees being shot by the bandits

mothers kiss and the bright smiles
Of his elders in order to avoid an
almost natural inferiority complex,
DR.. Herman Adler, Yieuuese Psychia-
trist, believes.
Impress the child with the belief
that everything he does Is wrong,
that other children are his, superiors
and that his little mistakes are
mountainous, then he becomes-a
failure" DR.. Adler told a group Of
parents.
"Only courage is able to develop
all the potential faculties and capai
bilities Of the child; lack Of courage
spells retarded development" the
psychiatrist, who was at one time
an associate of DR.. Sigmund Freud,
said. 1.-THE discouraged child becomes
the neurotic, the depressed, the
problem child
Misunderstanding parents and in
structors often cause the personality
of the child to wither, he declared.
The feeling if inferiority results in
sleeplessness and suffering which is
carefully hidden away from the
elders.
"a child is naturally cynical of his
own capability and accepts defeat as
proof of his inferiority," he said.
1.-THE child's attitude is mistaken and
he finds solace in little tricks to sat
isfy his craving for affection.
HE takes home bad school reports
because parents are more concerned
with them. He cultivates stammer-
ing because this draws more atten-
ton. He likes to be spoiled because
this brings an enjoyment from the
spelling"
There is one way to Offset this
feeling, DR.. Adler believes. That is
to impress upon the child mind that
he is doing everything we'll and is
able to do lot Of things far better.

writ CT prohibition to prevent Dearth
from again arresting Dale on con-
tempt proceedings. Miller says that
he has ample authority for such a
move.
In addition to the rumored indict-.
ment of Dale on criminal libel
charges, there is a contempt charge
resting against Dale in, Dearth's
court, brought upon the affidavit of
James Gilbert, bailiff in Dearth's
court.
Muncie Is thoroughly aroused and
is discussing the incident that is the
latest in the long warfare between
Dale and Judge Dearth, replete
with contempt charges, with Jail
sentences, with appeals to courts
and with the famous decision of the
Supreme Court that "the truth is no

Correspondents of The Times were
approached by citizens on the street,
who offered bonds if the whispered
threats of. reprisal were carried out.
AS an indication of the sentiment
and its change in this city Is the act
that The Star, a morning paper,
which had taken no decided stand
heretofore, carried a first page
editorial this morning, in which it
made this comment concerning the
action of Judge Dearth:
1.-THE general opinion appeared to
be that Judge Dearth overplayed his
hand when he had Dale's newsboys
brought into court and confiscated
their papers. There is little question
that that act Of Judge Dearth, if per-
mitted to be practiced throughout the
country would soon shear the news
papers Of any freedom Of the press
that the Constitution guarantees
them; but we believe. that he acted
upon the spur Of the moment with
out realizing the seriousness of his
act and what it might lead to. There
is no law that justifies a judge in
confiscating newspapers simply be-
cause he feels that he has been
slandered."

MONROE DOCTRINE ISSUE
Some of Washington Officials Ex-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24,-Faced
with what some deemed n British
threat against the Monroe Doctrine,
the Administrator was determined
today to settle the Nicaraguan tur-

This Government will not willingly

State Kellogg said:
Admiral Latimer american COM

the beginning to protect foreign as
well as American lives and property,
and is doing everything he can to
do So"
The British note, delivered Tues
day to the American minister at Ma
nagua, caused excited and contradict
tory comment among members of
Congress. Some Senators viewed 1t
as an insult to the United States and
challenge to the Monroe Doctrine.
Others interpreted it as a friendly
British move TO strengthen the Adj
ministration's' justification Of Ameri.

"If Britain now should carry out
her contemplated action, she might

of that committee was skeptical of
the British move. Already we have
in Nicaragua a naval force sufficient

ported move to GUST Superintendent
E. U. Graft, supporters of the minor
ity faction who banded together to

parchment proceedings against the

they had compiled evidence to war
rant impeachment.
The statement came from Emsley
w. Johnson, attorney, who, with
Michael A. Ryan, was retained as
counsel.
The majority faction is comprised
of Theodore F. Vonnegut, president;
Mrs. Lillian Sedwick, vice president,
and Charles w. Kern. Henry L..
Dithmer temporarily heads the op.
position group composed of a num-
Der of prominent citizens.

for Judge Dearth is the fact that in
former actions by him against Dale,
the Star has made no protest and
has generally been friend to Dearth
and his associates.
1t is construed here as an admis-
sion that Dearth violated the law
when he herded the thirty-eight
newsboys before him and confiscated
their newspapers and threatened them
with judicial consequences. The ex-
PLANTATION that he acted violently and
in haste is being commented upon
in contrast with the calm and de-
liberation expected from the bench
and may have some bearing on the
hearing expected from the Legis-
lature.
Papers Join Movement
The open demand made by The
indianapolis Times for the impeach-
ment of Judge Dearth as the one de-
Tense against suppression of the
press by judges has resulted in other
newspapers of the State rallying to
that demand and supporting it.
Among the first was the Richmond
Palladium whose publisher, E. II.
Harris. wired number of news
papers of the State, calling attention
to the situation.
''The action of Judge Dearth is an
attack upon free government" wired
Harris. 1.-THE Legislature has power
to impeach judge for such action
and we think that there should be
immediate steps taken to protect the
right of free speech and a free press.
If you have not already communi-
Gated with your representatives in
the Legislature, may we ask that
you do so at once"
Anderson Paper Active
The Anderson Herald, printing this
appeal prominently on its front page,
added pledge of its own support.
The Anderson paper was one of the
first to arrive.
Muncie, realizing that it has be-
come the center of a fight for free
speech, such as the States has not
seen before, is accepting the stu
alton.
Men who before have been aghast
at the suppressions are now circu-
lating petitions for the impeachment
of the judge who took newspapers
away from newsboys and sent them
home with notes from policemen,
asking their parents not. to punish
them because their papers had been
taken away from them by a judge.
No other topic is discussed today.
Everywhere the demand of The
Times for impeachment is receiving
a spontaneous echo of approval and
the demand is being written into
petitions.
The court held its regular session
today, attending to some minor
matters and no mention was made
of the newsboy suppression or the
articles in Dale's paper.

the investigation as soon as possible.
However, for about three weeks the
jury has not touched the situation
except to ask Collins to turn over

gathered by the last jury, which is
now impounded in his private
chambers.
Collins agreed to do this, but the
