Lost, Is Heroine in Eyes

When 8-year-old Thelma Poynter
returned to her classroom at School
SIS today she was the center of at
traction of dozens of her little play

For Monday Thelma was the
heroine of a tragedy that caused

Police Chief CLAUDE M. Worley and
a dozen picked men of the force to
Thelmas home and aroused the en-
tire neighborhood.
Thelma was lost. She and her

casually by a neighbor and some
neighbor children, since they left

morning found they were mistaken.
When no trace of the children
had been found by noon, Chief Wor-
ley took personal charge later in
the day. Fearing that her daughter,
Mrs. Marie Ware, of 802 Roach ST.,
might learn of the tragedy sudden
ly and collapse, Mrs. Gregory went
to tell her of it.
When she opened the door at
the Roach st. home, about four
miles from the Poynter residence,

overcome with delight, she bundled
the children into a waiting auto

home.
They told how they had walked
the entire distance Sunday, after
leaving their grandmother's house.

today, the people can rise up and
will rise up and cast it off,"

lens. He voiced a plea for national

Cincinnati bootlegger, from the
State hospital for the criminally in

the prospect the State would call
Franklin T. Dodge, former Federal
officer, who figured in Remus' trial
for the murder of his wife.
Dodge arrived in Lima presumably
to testify for the State. When Re
mus shot and killed his wife, Imo-
gene, several months ago, he named
Dodge as his wife's paramour and
charged the two had conSpired to
send him to the Federal penitentiary
and loot his estate. Although Re
mus was acquitted he was sent to
the asylum.
States attorneys denied they
called Dodge, when it was intimated
Dodge was here to thwart Remus'
attempt to regain his liberty. 1t
was understood however, that
Dodge would confer some time to-
day with Walter Sibald of counsel
for the State.
Dodge intimated he was in Lima
in an effort to clear his name.
There had never been a word
against my reputation before the

asylum, was the first witness called
today. Two of five alienists who ex-

DISARMAMENT
AFTER SECURITY
FRANCE INSISTS
Arbitration by Treaties Is
Favored at Meeting of
Commission.
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press STAFF Correspondent

GENEVA, Feb. 21.-European dis
armament must follow, not precede,
the establishment of security against
attack for European nations, Paul
Boncour of France warned the
League of Nations security commits
sion today.
Boncour said France would favor
any general project of arbitration.
Creation of the security commits
sion, he argued, marked the leagues
recognition of the inseparability Of
security from disarmament. Sc
curity, he said, would continue to be
the basis of all league disarmament
efforts.
Boncour recommended that the
commission first try to establish all
means of security possible under
the League of Nations covenant and
then to arrange for arbitration by
means Of treaties between two ma
tons, treaties among groups of ma.
tons, or one treaty to be signed by
all nations.
General De Marinis, Italy, slap
ported the contention previously
advanced by Great Britain tnat Sc
curity best coUIJ +9s obtained
through treat5eo negotiated directly
bet~se-. TWO nations. A series Of
such treaties, honeycombing a con-
tinent, he said, and including a
non-aggression provision, would
eliminate most causes of war.
De Marinis promised Italy would
cooperate if the commission decided
to recommend a series Of regional
treaties among groups Of several
nations, rather than two-nation
treaties.

NebraSkan Declares He Has

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Forces
on opposite sides of the power
question massed again today when
the Norris Muscle Shoals resolu-
ton came up for disposal in the
Senate.
The resolution provides for Gov
eminent operation of the 100000
900 plant on the Tennessee River i'll
Alabama and Senator Norris believes
he can get it through Congress
this time.
He has tried for the last five
years, but always failed, because
Of opposition from power compan-
les who believe the plant should be
leased for private operation.
Norris told the United Press he
had sufficient votes to pass the reso-
luton in the Senate, but action in
the House is doubtful.
Power Is Big Issue
Power has become a chief issue
IN Congress. Last week the Senate,
after a bitter battle, killed the
Walsh resolution seeking a con-
gresSional investigation of the So.
called national power combine. Such
investigation has been started by
the Federal trade commission.

killed the Walsh resolution.
Another move against the lobby is
promised by Senator Caraway
(Dem), Arkansas, who will press
for action on his bill requiring lob
byists to register their interests and
expenses with the Senate and the
House. The bill was reported by the
Senate Judiciary Committee yester-
day with but one dissenting vote.
Opposition Is Weaker
Norris resolution has not been OPP
posed this year as it has in the past.
Opposition of the power companies
appears to have died down consider
ably and the American Cyanamid
Company is the only bidder, actively
in the field. against it.
The resolution provides that the
Government continue its construc-
ton work to develop power at the
plant and at the same time expert
ment with processes for extracting
nitrogen for fertilizer from the air
in commercially suitable quantities.
Power developed at the plant
would be sold to the private power
companies for distribution through

RULE SOON ON
HOLMES CLAIM
TO SLACK POST
Decision by Judge Cham
berlin Expected in Cir
cult Court This Week.

Ruling on Ira M. Holmes quo
warranto proceedings in the Indian
apolis mayor tangle, affecting direct
ly at least three claimants to the
Office, is expected late this week
from Circuit Judge Harry o.
Chamberlin.
Judge Chamberlm Monday heard
arguments on Joseph L. Hogue's
demurrer to the complaint. Claims
of both Hogue and Holmes were,
outlined to the court by their at
torneyS. Mayor L. Ert Slack, also
a defendant, had attorneys in
court, but his case was not argued.
Circuit Court room was crowded
to capacity for the arguments, the
balcony being opened for the first
time in many months.
Claims Election Void
Thomas A. Daily, attorney for
Hogue, set out two points by which
his client claims the Office. Hogue
was city controller under the late
mayor Lew Shank.
He claimed Duvall'S conviction of
bribery in Criminal Court made his
entire election void, and, therefore,
his appointment of Mrs. Duvall as
city controller, her succession to the
Office of mayor, her appointment of
Holmes as city controller and his
succession also was illegal
His second point was that even
II such a procedure was legal. Du-
vail could appoint only an acting
city controller, who would become
only acting mayor without power
to appoint third city controller
who could succeed to the mayors
chair. He claimed the second cleo
ton rested with the city council.
Appear for Slack
Louis B. Ewbank, attorney for
Holmes, claimed the appeal of Du-
vail from the conviction stayed the
execution and. therefore, not until
the final high court decision will
Duvall be adjudged guilty and his
election be void.
City Attorney Edward H. Knight
and Albert Raab, appearing for
Mayor Slack, said they intend to
ask that the quo warranto COM
plant be made more specific. After
this is done. they will file demurrer.
Knight said. Slack also has on file
with the court a motion to strike
out certain parts Of the complaint.
This motion was not argued Mon
day.
