Wetter and Cameron Deny
They 0VerStep Rights
on FeIonieS.

Municipal Court Judges Paul c.
Wetter and Clifton r. Cameron to-
day replied to the charge of Prose
cutor William H. Remy that rnunic-
ipal judges are overstepping their
powers by trying felony cases which
should be handled by the grand
jury and criminal court They
denied that they ever had tried
cases subject to grand jury action.
Both judges declared they never
had tried felony cases.
Remy made his charge following
action of Municipal Judge pro TEN,
Jacob Steinmetz, in filming Merrill
Doyle, 3419 N. Pennsylvania ST., $50
on a charge of unlawful possession
of an automobile.
Steinmetz dismissed vehicle TAX
ing and grand larceny charges
against the boy.
Steinmetz pointed out today that
he had tried the youth only on the
unlawful possession charge, which
is not a felony.
Deputy Prosecutor John L. Nib
lack, however, declared that Doyle
should have been bound over TO the
grand jury on the charge of vehicle
taking and larceny charges, which
are felonies. Steinmetz had no
right to dismiss those charges, he
said.
Within few days he will call the
xI71oncn ctO1n71 0l1h
police before the grand jury, in an
effort to obtain vehicle taking in
dictment against the boy, Niblack
said.
Judge Paul C. Wetter showed a
letter received from Niblack and
Remy several months ago as an
answer to the intimatiOn that the
municipal judges were overstepping
their authority.
The letter declared that it was
the wish of the grand jury and
Criminal Judge James A. Collins
that the municipal courts assume
full jurisdiction in all misdemeanor
cases and cases such as fraudulent
check charges where the amount
involved was less than $25.
The letter also recommended; that
in second degree burglary cases, Ga
felony CHARGE, where the amount
taken was small, the municipal
judges dismiss the burglary charge
and send the culprit to the Indiana
State Farm on petit larceny
charges, thus saving red tape, slow
motion and expense of sending him
to the grand jury"

Girl Says Program Needs
Spice, Seasoning Same
as Tasty Meal.
BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS
NEA Service Writer

NEW YORK, April 11.-"Prepar-
ing good radio program is like
assembling a good meal" says Ber-
tina Brainard, who is head chief
for the aerial banquets served by
the National BroadcaSting Com
pany.
you need good ingredients, the
best the market affords, and they
need to be eXpertly seasoned and
nicely served. You can't attract
radio fans with all-classical or all
jazz or all-anything programs.
You can't draw business on hash
and stew. You have to provide bal
anced fare, with sustaining food as
well as delicacies. And you have
to keep jumps ahead of the game"
Though small in stature, Miss
Brainard is one of the big women
in the radio industry, and though
young, she is one of the pioneers.
She has been made program
director Of the National Broadcast
ing Company because of her par
ticular ability to add the garnishes
and the trimmings as we'll as the
staple articles Of radio fare.
She thinks nothing of spending
two months on a particular pro-
gram, planning and shaping it I'M
til it finally reaches her standard
Of excellence.
But she never really knows a
program goes over" until she hears
it in her own home.
II have a radio in almost every
room at home she told me, and
there's usually one going most of
the time I am at home.
At the studio, where everything is
favorable. and everyone is listening
intently to a program, one hears it
under the best conditions.
But at home I can detect its
real value and its flaws. A pro-
gram should not require too close
attention. 1t should be able, how
ever. to carry over the ordinary
routine of home life.
IF a program holds the atten-
ton while the housewife is frying
steak or washing the dishes, it is
successful. If it requires too much
concentration it is apt to be firing"
Miss Brainard attributes her sue
cess to good hard worlS-and to a
great and absorbing interest in her
job. The first time she ever heard
radio, which was some six years
ago, she decided that she had found
her life work right then and there.

FRANKFORT, Ind. April IL
Mrs. Eugene +. Brimberry, pretty
23-year-old housewife, must not at
tend dances on Sunday as a result
of her plea OF guilty to writing a
"blackmail letter" to a local bust
ness man.
Mrs. Brimberry was accused of
writing eXtortion letters to six
business men. However, a jury, be-
fore which she stood trial, disagreed
Tuesday night.
Rather than incur expenses of
another trial. attorneys for both
sides agreed that if Mrs. Brimberry
would withdraw her plea of not
guilty to only one Of the six offenSeS
the other charges would be quashed.
On a plea Of guilty to writing an
eXtortion letter to Oscar Lavery,
merchant, Mrs. Brimberry received
a suspended sentence of one to five
years in the Indiana Woman'S
Prison and was forbidden. to attend
Sunday dances.

WASHINGTON, April 11-Fearful
lest public exhibitions in the United
States of the British film Dawn

feeling of war days, German diplo-
matte and consular officials are seek
ing to prevent the showing of the

The film depicts the story of
Edith Cavell, British war nurse,
executed in Belgium by the Germans
on a charge of espionage.
The State Department probably
will not take action unless the Ger
man embassy formally brings the
matter to it's attention.
The embassy, it was said, is re-
Iuctant to make a formal protest
because it wishes to avoid a public
discussion After four weeks of con-
troversy, English authorities refused
to sanction public showings of the

Government Begins WeaV-

Deal in Secrecy.
BANKERS ARE ON STAND
CALL FOR BLACKMER
Foundation Is Laid for New
Action to ConfiSCate
His Property.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE
Government, seeking to support its
claim of sinister deal behind the
Teapot Dome oil lease, offered evil
dence in the Harry F.. Siuclair con-
spiracy trial today, designed to show
the lease was unduly rushed through
in secret.
Before launching on this evidence
Of waste and secrecy, the Govern
ment had called the name of H.
M. Blackmer, fugitive oil witness,
now in France. He did not answer.
and, thereby, the prosecution laid
the foundation for a new confisca-
ton action against his property.
One already had been undertaken
for his past failure to heed sub
poenas.
U. S. Weaves It's Case
Cross examination of M. T. Ever
hart, son-in-law of former Secretary
Of Interior Fall, was not resumed
this forenoon. He already had re-
Vealed details OF the passage of
S223,000 from Sinclair to Fall
through Everhalt as medium.
This transaction occurred soon
after Fall leased Teapot Dome to
Sinclair in 1922.
But EVerhart has been subpoenaed
as a defense witness, and will be
asked to go into more details later.
The Government started weaving

of the lease which was proposed,
negotiated and consummated in
three months in 1922 by Sinclair
and Fall, while oil men other than
Sinclair were kept out in the cold
despite pleas for an opportunity to
bid.
Bankers Are Witnesses
Oil men summoned by the Gov
eminent will testify later that Fall
disregarded their requests to bid on
the great oil reserve.
Owen J. Roberts, prosecution
chief, called six witnesses in rapid
succession today. These witnesses,
bankers from the West, testified
that Fall deposited 100000 of the
bonds to his personal credit in their
banks.
One of the bankers from Carrizozo,
N. NJ, disclosed that Fall lost more
than $1,000 of the money he re-
ceived from Sinclair in the 1922

The Government also placed in
evidence the fact that Sinclair re-
organized the Mammoth Oil Com
pany to operate the Teapot Dome
field, more than month before the
lease was signed.

NOW the average Indianapolis

agreed that most indianapolis men
tip regularly and reasonably, that
women rarely do. and that the girls
manage to get along quite well.
Most folks, however, are ignorant
of the real purpose of the hotel
check room, said J. E Flynn, as
sistant manager Of the SEVERN.
Hotels have check rooms to protect
the belongings of their guests. not
just as a place where a pretty girl
may make a living off tips.
The hotel assumes responsibility
for hats and wraps checked and
there is no requirement that a tip
be paid-the managers insist cheer
full service be given.
About 80 per cent Of the people
tip grudgingly," said Flynn, but
prohibit tipping and the same folks
go right on doing it and dare you
to stop them"
