Victim Demands Jail
for Hearst's Forgers

(ConJanued from Page One)
lished that you lad no evidence~that
any of these senator's were guilty
and that you did not believe any of
the charges against them?
Sees Financial Gain.
"What is your motive, Mr. Hearst?
You have testified before the COM
mittee that you have very valuable
properties in Mexico. 1t is almost
common knowledge that you were in
favor of the overthrow of the pres
ent government. You evidently be-
lieved that if revolution could be
started it would mean financial bene-
fit to your investments in Mexico.
For the sake of making few paltry
dollars you are willing to blacken
the character of honest journalists in
your own profession. You were will
ling to cast suspicion on the loyalty
and integrity Of members of the
United States senate. You were will
ling to charge that the president of
9 friendly republic is a traitor to
his country. You were willing and
apparently anxious to do something
that would cause our government to
intervene i'll Mexico.
A Plain -Monger.
''In other words, for the sake of
your financial investments you were
not only willing to ruin the reputa-
ton of honest and innocent men, but
you were willing to plunge our coun-
try into war with friendly neigh
hor and thus increase the army of
widows and orphans and wounded
and crippled soldiers"
Entirely Without Honor.
Continuing Senator Norris charged:
Because members of the United
States senate have not followed the
course that you believed they ought
to pursue, you were willing to go
so far as to ruin their regulations
and by falsehoods drive them from
public life in disgrace and dishonor.
You wanted to show the power of
the Hearst papers.
"A fair analysis of the recent ar
ticles published in the Hearst papers
showing an alleged attempt by Mex
lean officials to bride United States
senators and editors of various pub
LEGATIONS, and an analysis Of your
testimony before the senate COM
lmittee, leads to the inevitable con-
clusion that you are not only unfair
and dishonest, but that you are en-
tirely without honor"

capitalist government more urgent

true in the face of the following de-

campaign, open shop drives, efforts
to destroy the existing unions and

unions, the introduction of company

y. The sweeping use of injunc-

New York.
IS. The growing unemployment,
which is considerably wOrsening
and undermining the standard of
life of the working class.
Il. The increasing war danger,
the contemplated attack upon the
Soviet Union, the naval armament
race by the American government,
the sharpening of American imper-
ialist policy, in Latin America
(Nicaragua) and in other parts of
the world (China), with the con-
slant growth of militarism and CEN

United States.
So. The continued critical situa-

has again driven off the land more
than a million people between 1925
and 1927, leaving the working farm
ers in a much worse situation than
they were in before.

JolsOn to
Be Seen in
Big Boy
Noted Stage Star Returns
to Murat in His Big
Success.

AL Jolson, under the direction OF
the Messrs. Shubert, will be the at
traction at the Murat on Dec. 9-10
in big Boy" his latest musical
comedy success.
big Boy" is for the most part
story about the Kentucky Derby,
with the role of Gus, Negro stable
boy, in the hands of Jolson. There
is big cast supporting Jolson and
the chorus is one ranking in beauty
and shapeliness with that Of his
other offerings.
The play deals largely with race
course, a colored jockey and four
honest-to-goodness thoroughbreds,
with the added starter in the In
formation Stakes that Jolson would
almost give up a $4,000 matinee to
see a big contest between ponies.
"All my life" remarks Jolson, 81
have been an adrnirer of horses.
When I was a kid, after having read
how the famous trotting mare, Maud
S. was discovered by some man in
Cincinnati drawing a cart of some
kind, would size up every crowbait
that came along in order to deter
mine with the old critical eye
whether it had racing points. And
the greatest thrill ever had in my
life was when I saw a bunch of
horses working out for the first time
on race track near Washington.
From my affection for the nags,
both as models of natures handi-
work and as betting propositions, I
really believe that away back there
one Of my ancestors must have been
a centaur. And you can readily I'M
derstand why I gave three cheers
when was informed that this new
play Of mine had much to do with
horses and that at one stage of
the proceedings I was to be a
jockey"
big Boy" comes to town with the
usual Jolson chorus.

by Henrik Ibsen. Here is big play
and a timely one.
The Indianapolis Civic Opera will
hold a chorus rehearsal in ~the
small auditorium of the Athenaeum
next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock.
It is beginning to look that
Broadway" is a big city show in
stead of road show. The smaller
cities are not SO familiar with caba-
ret life as reflected in this mighty
good show. 1t seems to have its
biggest appeal for men, although
many women, who have seen the
play at English's this week, have
told me that they enjoyed it. The
truth is that this play is not doing
the business that it deserves here.
r
We are going to have chance
to support grand opera for a week.
The operas announced are the
standard ones. If we want opera,
then here is a chance to prove it.
1t is a gigantic undertaking to bring
an opera company here, but Ad F.
Miller is willing to take chances. He
will know first, as the box Office
will tell the story in no uncertain
terms. I hope that Mr. Miller will
be so happy that he will start sing

number of lyric dramas that
have been written and produced
since grand opera became the
highest artistic entertainment
on the stage, only limited number
of them survived the fluctuations of
popular favor.
The taste in music Is as varied
and individual as the taste in mat
tiers more material. There is, how
ever, a certain number of operas
that have become the standards of
musical taste throughout the world.
La Cianci-New York Grand Opera
Company coming for weeks sea-
son of grand opera on Dec. IL to
the English Opera House offers the
most ambitious repertoire of operas
that a travelling opera organization
has ever undertaken to stage on
the road.
The operas to be given in Indi-
annapolis will be chosen from the
following repertoire: Aida, Trova-
tore, Carmen, CaVallerla RuStlcana,
Pagliacci, Faust, Othello, Fora del
Destino, Samson and Delilah.
Every one of these works has
earned a popularity, not only uni
versaI, but which seems immune
from the ravages of time. Men,
women and even children hum or
whistle an aria or two from these
immortal masterpieces, and though
they are sung in foreign tongue,
every one knows the stories of these
operas.
No better choice could have been
made as far as the repertoire is
concerned. In fact, "Othello,"
"Forza del Destino" and Samson
and Delilah" have so far very sell
dom been offered by travelling
opera company.

The outstanding feature of my

the outstanding incidents of the
