cutor Homer Miller said today.
Miller called on Attorney General

Luther F.. Synons, State bank
commissioner, and Thomas D. Barr,

STATE TO USE
CONFESSION OF
BRIGGS TODAY
Hope 1t Will Establish
Perjury Charges in
Diploma MILL

Otis J, Briggs confession, that he
as dean of the College of Drugiess
Physicians falsified dates on diplo-
mas TO miSlead the State board OF
medical examiners, was to be en-
tered as States evidence today in his
Criminal Court trial on charge
Of Suborning perjury, prosecutors
said at the close of the morning
session.
Walter A. Shead. newspaper re-
porter credited with uncovering &C
tivities of the "drugless physician
school was on the stand more than
an hour this morning.
Given Two Degrees
He told how he went through the
school as "Alonzo w. Shedd," OBJ
tanned his diploma as doctor OF
naturopathy and doctor of mechano-
therapy, and later exposed the mat
ter.
The States key witness, Henrietta
Sing Of Greensburg, whose applica-
ton for a license is named in the
indictment, was to be here for fur
ther testimony this afternoon.
She occupied the stand more than
two hours Saturday morning. Miss
Sing claims to be a mind healer.
Admits False Dates
The confession the prosecution
intended to present this afternoon
as its trump card was made by
Briggs soon after his arrest last
summer. 1t admits dating diplomas
in late 1926 so that the applicants
for State licenses could qualify I'M
der the new law governing such
licenses.
Both the Shead and the Sing di-
plomas were dater in 1926, testi-
mony showed. although their con-
nection with the school took place
in 1927.
Briggs is charged with aiding Miss
Sing in filing false affidavit with
the State board.
Defense Move Lost
Since the Shead diploma and
affidavits are not mentioned in the
indictment, H. s. Pike, attorney
for Briggs. attempted to have the
Shead testimony stricken out. He
was overruled.
Lucy Campbell, executive clerk of
the State board of medical registra-
ton and examiners, told of the
filing of the Sing papers.
Shead was referred to by at
torneys in examination as Doctor
Shead," after he told of receiving
the two degrees from the Briggs
school

STUDENTS HEAR
TALK ON MOON
Science Editor Speaks at
Washington School.

temperatures upon the moon vary
from 200 degrees above zero in the
daytime to 400 degrees below zero
at night, David Dietz, Scripps-
Howard Science Editor and Fellow
OF the Royal Astronomical Society,
told students at Washington high
school today.
Dletz gave an illustrated lecture
upon astronomy titled "a Trip
Through the Universe"
THE violent temperature changes
upon the moon result from the fact
that the moon has no atmosphere, "
Dietz said.
The earth's atmosphere acts as
a blanket protecting the earth from
too much sunlight in the daytime
and holding in at night most of the
heat which was received from the
sun during the daytime.
Consequently temperature vari-
atiopS between day and night are
small here on earth. But the lack
Of atmosphere on the moon changes
the situation there
Dietz explained how a delicate
electrical thermometer known as the
thermocouple is used in taking the
temperature of the moon.
Besides pictures Of the moon.
Dietz showed stereoptican slides OF
the sun, the planets. parts of the
Milky Way and different types of
nebulae.
THE study Of astronomy increases
our interest in the universe and
makes life more interesting" Dietz
said
Dtetz is to lecture at Shortridge
high school Thursday.
Dietz's articles on science will
start in The Times next Monday.

FALL ELECTION
IN NICARAGUA
Plans Supervision Despite
Failure to LegaIize
StimSOn Compact,
BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 14.-The
United States will go ahead with its
plan for supervising the Nicaraguan
presidential election next October
in accordance with the StimSon
agreement despite the refusal of the
Nicaraguan legislature to authorize
such action, it was stated on official
quarters here today after it was
learned that a compromise election
bill had been rejected,
Rejection Surprise
Rejection of the bill surprised the
State Department, which had been
led to believe the Liberal Moderate
conservative faction had won over
enough extreme conservative votes
to insure its passage. The original
measure was fought by Eniliauo
Chamorro, conservative leader, on
the ground it was unconstitutional
Objectional features we're removed
in rewriting the bill, this action be-
ing approved by the American Gov
ernment.
Despite this effort to reach a COM
promise, Chamorro remained OPP
posed to American supervision and
mustered up twenty-five votes
against sixteen by the liberal-mod-
crate faction, and killed the bill.
AS the regular session of the
Nicaraguan legislature was due to
end today, it was considered UNI
likely that further action could be
taken at this time TO legalize
American supervision. President
Diaz has called a special session to
begin Thursday or Friday, but ac-
cording to the call this session will
concern itself solely with the
national budget and with a bill
authorizing the creation of a ma
tional guard to be differed by
American marines,
ChamorrO Approved at Last
The Stimson agreement Of last
May provided for termination OF the
civil war and for the surrender of
their arms by troops on both sides.
General Jose Moncada on behalf
of the Liberal army accepted the
agreement on the understanding
that the United States would take
charge Of the next presidential
election. This condition was &C
cepted by Henry L. Stimson. per-
sonal representative Of President
Coolidge, and by President Diaz,
active leader Of the Conservatives.
Chamorro tentatively approved
the arrangement.

e. S. AUTHORI7TES JOIN HUNT FOR DEPUTY SLA YERS
Dance Contest to Settle
Dispute OUer School Hop
|. U. Couple to Appear in
First Elimination Test
Thursday.

The first preliminary Of the Ma
tional Eccentric Dance contest
Thursday night in the Indiana Ball
room will be featured by a specially
dance by Miss Rosamond Riser and
Tom Jones, stars of the 1928 Jordan
River Revue of Indiana University
which will play Monday night at
the Murat theater.
The invitation was the result OF
dispute between indianapolis
dancers and Indiana University
alumni. The local dancers con-
tended that they originated the
dance rythmn now used in most
modern dances. They also said the
dance was peculiar to Indianapolis.
Originality in Dispute
The alumni said the dance
rhythm referred to was started by
Indiana University students more
than three years ago and that the
State in general was Just learning
what the university had almost for
gotten. They pointed out that the
student Building at Bloomington,
Ind, was condemned about two
years ago as a result of the hard
dancing.
The dance by Miss Riser and
Jones will be a typical university
selection and is expected to settle
the argument.
The Indiana section of the ma
tional dance contest is sponsored
by The Indianapolis Times and will
be compelled in five Thursday
nights starting this week. Two cou-
Piles will be named as winners in
the four prehminaries, and the eight
couples will meet April II for the
finals.
Winner to Chicago
The winner in the finals will be
sent to the Trianon ballroom at
Chicago to compete with winners
from tWenty-nine other States for
the national title. In addition to
the valuable medals and merchan-
disc prizes awards in the Indiana
Ballroom contest, the winning cou-
pie will be given theater contracts
if the excellence of their dancing
reaches a certain degree.
The contest is open to any strictly
amateur dancer. one who never has
danced for money, between the ages
Of 10 and 35 years. The purpose
Of the eliminations is to discover
new dance to replace the Grow Hop,
Indy Glide and other dances now
popular
Couples can enter by filling in the
coupon appearing in The Times or

Ballroom or The Times office,
