indian prince IS
| IN TROUBLE AGAIN
Nancy Ann MMer's Husband
Being Sued for $4,000

Bombay, India. Sept. R)-The
former maharajah of Indore, hus-
band of Nancy Miller of Seattle.
Wash, who lost his throne because
of an affair with one Indian dane
ing girl, figured today in a sensa-
tional high court appeal case over
another beautiful Indian woman.
The woman this time is Sowkabai
Pandarination Rajpurkar. who Is
claiming damages of $4,000 rupees
(about $2S.o00) from the former
maharajah. She alleges wrongful
imprisonment. personal injury, mis-
appropriation of her property and
systematic cruelty by him both at
Indore and Bombay.
Alleges DecOyment
She alleges that she and her
daughter were decoyed from Bonn
bay through his agents with i'm
moral design, both being ultimately
confined at Indore for 10 years
during which time her Bombay
house was taken possession of by
his agents and jewelry and furni-
ture Incorporated.
The woman states that in 1915
she and her daughter were per-
suaded to 60 to Indore by an official
under the former maharajah's or
ders. Upon arrival there both
mother and daughter were closely
guarded and their residence sur
rounded by a military Gordon. She
said Tukojirao-as the former ma
larajah was known-made 'inde-
cent proposals to her and suggest
ed that her daughter in time be-
come his mistress.
Cruelty Treated
When the proposal was refused,
she alleged. she was subjected to
cruel treatment and removed to
Mandalelshwar fort with her daugh-
ter and imprisoned there for a long
term of years.
The case originally came before
Justice Devar in the high court
where. after the former maharaj jail
had opposed the woman's applica
ton the Judge said 1t would bt
simply denial of justice if the un.
fortunate woman who was deprived
of her liberty for 10 years should
also lose her property. He used tht
phrase. without cause" and re.
marked that the former mahara jail
was rolling in wealth and had of.
ficers, henchmen and agents, who
were lat his call for purposes bott
good and nefarious."

Laws Not Enough

The pacifist brigade makes ready
to move on Washington. If the
Kellogg pact is agreed to, it asks,
why more money for six-inch guns?
Why, indeed? Why a lock on the
door, why a dog in the yard, why a
police force of $4,000 in New York
City, why all the constables and
deputy Sheriffs? Have we not a law
against every crime they are sup
posed to prevent, have we not courts
to settle all the cases and have We
not protected ourselves against all
kinds of violence in so far as 1t was
possible to do so through paper en-
aCtmentS?
There seems no reason to go crazy
in one direction for fear we may go
too far in another. Why get so ex-
cited over ten cruisers more or less?
They do not spell the difference
between Prussianism and the mil
lennium.
We live in a very human world
and we must recognize its human
weaknesses-its suspicion and dis
trust, its eternal disposition to bar
gain and trade, its habit of attain
ing ends by compromise and con-
cession-if We are to accomplish
results.

Who Except a Moron?

William McFee, writing in the
New York Sunday World and head
lined as "sea-going engineer" calls
the women and children first" ira
dition a classic, conventional i'm
becility."
BY way of bolstering up the as
sertion, he says that nothing could
be more ridiculous than to put a
lot of women and children into a
lifeboat with. perhaps, a couple Of
weak stewards and mess boy, and
smash them down into the wintry
north Atlantic"
Every one will admit that nothing
could be more ridiculous, but what
has that to do with it? Who except
a moron, interpretS the women
and children first" tradition in such
way?
The women and children first"
tradition presupposes intelligence as
we'll as courage. 1t is not built
around childish notion that sail
ors are to stand back while wives
and infants go forth in boats they
dH not know how to handle or could
not handle II they did. Its ideal is
safety for those less able to take
care of themselves, and it includes
everything needed to provide for
that safety.

Mooney and Billings

At last after twelve years. strrlngs OF puOnc Gull
science give hope of beated justice in the California
Mooney-Billngs case.
The American Civil Liberties Union has made tnlS
famous case first order of business and is organizing
a nationwide drive upon Governor Young OF Call
fornia for immediate and unconditional pardon Tor
the pair Fifty pounds of evidence which it claims
proves a "frame-up" has been gathered.
If Governor Young doesn't know it, nearly all the
rest of the world is convinced that whatever their
sins may have been, Tom Mooney and Warren Bill
ings did not plant the bomb that killed score OF
people in the 1916 Preparedness day outrage in San
Francisco.
Mooney and Billings were labor agitators and per-
haps even guilty of sabotage But that does not
Justify the coplacent attitude that would leave them
in prison because they're a bad lot, anyway"
If they can be framed" into living death for
wholesale murder of which they innocent, then
so can the rest of U.S. in an American court of justice
be victimized by crooked district attorneys and
suborned and venal witnesses With Mooney and Bill
ings in Jail for life we may well exclam with John
wesley: "There, but for the grace of God, am II"
California has had twelve years to clear up the
disgrace of this case. Governor Young should not
permit further delay.

Give ModernS a Chance!

Whatever the rule of "age before
beauty" may mean in other fields, it
plays a big part in shaping the art
market.
Give a bit of statuary or painting
four centuries, or even two, and see
how the price goes up.
One cannot quarrel with the idea
as art is made an excuse for it. It
is not art so much as an appetite
for what is rare, ancient and, there
fore, impossible for more than few
to possess.
The penchant for collecting what
men have left is commendable in
every way. 1t gives us a perspective
we could not otherwise attain. 1t
takes the conceit out of us by re-
vealing through what slow processes
the race has advanced. But placing
a high value on antiques for other
reasons than their age, calling them
superior to what we can produce
when they are not and beggaring
those who are able to do better work
for the sake of ancestor worship, is
little less than a tragedy.
While paying fabulous prices for
sculpture, painting, furniture, pot
terry and tapestries that are old, we
would not injure art in the least by
giving, men and women who have
chosen it as a career their chance to
earn an honest living.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-11-26
Art Scandal and Genius

Art scandal goes with art. That
is the chief reason why Italy should
be expected to put on a good one.
Some 100000 worth of sup
posedly genuine old statuaries has
found it's way not only into private
collections throughout the world
but-horror of horrors--into some
of the greatest and most exacting
museums.
Strangest of all, the supply ap-
peared to grow bigger as the market
improved, which is contrary to the
habits of old statuary, and which
aroused the suspicion of critics.
An investigation brought out the
truth. The statuary was being pro-
duced by two Skillful brothers, who
labored for starvation wages, while
the art dealers trading in their
genius got rich.
One is reminded of how Michael
Angelo won a cardinals admiration
by perpetrating a similar fraud
though in jest, and all the more so
since the poor sculptors in this case
may profit by a similar whim of
fate.
It required craftsmanship, as well
as crookedness to carry through
such a StupendouS fake. That is
what the poor sculptors contributed,
and that is the one good thing that
has been discovered.

Babies With Tails

The news columns tell of baby born in Baltimore
with tail seven inches long The doctors say the
occurrence is not very unusual The spinal column
has way, in animal life of ending in tail. The
habit has been outgrown largely in the of human
beings, but in moments of Observation-Disclosures nature
reverts to forgotten At least so the doctors
and scientists say.
In Arkansas news Of these Short-tailed babies no
doubt will be censored The matter could not be ex-
planned properly, that the state has passed its
anti-evolution law 1t would not do to tell the chill
dren that this was case of atavism-a throw-back-
to the monkey age of man. That would be against
the law.
And it would not wise to say that God gets
careless in constructing babies and finishes them
once in a while under the impression that He is
making monkey or dog.

A curious admiXture of practical
N ity and idealiSm-this Presi-
dent Coolidge of ours. No sooner
is he through arguing for more
cruisers than he begins maneuver-
ing to get us into the world court.
Hopelessly inconsistent, some people
say. If we are going to have judges,
why not disarm? If we are not
going to disarm, why play the
hypocrite and pretend to favor
peace?
Consistency would be a jewel if
1t only squared with life. Strictly
logical people, however, seldom ac-
complish more than make good ar
gumentS.
Why should we scrap our navy
if we enter the world court, or even
sign treaty to outlaw war? Who
fails to bolt his door, or, perhaps,
keep shotgun in the house, be-
cause there is a statute against
burglary?
