terpreted, but many years from now,

Naughty Marietta" laid in New
orleans about the year 1850, tells
of the romantic adventure OF
little French casquette girl. To IND
wives for the hardy pioneers who
were building up his empire was
a serious question for the French
king at this period.
So. to settle the difficulty, he
made an offer to all French girls
who wished to go, guaranteeing
them a husband and a rich reward
if they would ship to Louisiana and
other provinces and marry such
single men to be found there.
Marietta was the daughter OF
wealthy and powerful nobleman,
and was just about to be married
against her will to an old man
whose beard she described as being
like that of a goat. To truStraCe
this plan of her parents, she con-
ceives the idea of shipping away
with the casquette girls and at least
finding a husband somewhat near
her own age. So Marietta gets to
New Orleans and falls in love WIN
a. Young American, called Captain
Jack.
The story is full of romance and
beauty. and, combined with the mu-
sic of Herbert, it is of such a char
acter as to always please, no matter
how long an interval lapses between
the time it was first produced ana
the last performance.
The cast, for a road show, was
excellent. Marietta, played by Era
Briggs. and Adah, played by Jullaa
de Revueltas, we're perhaps the pest
sung parts, but full credit must be
extended to Ferdinand legal as
Captain Jack and James Blaine as
Etienne Grandet.
other outstanding players in this
cast are Dan Marble, who injectS
a lot of timely humor into his COM
edy work, and Helen Burwell, who
does q colorful advertisement dur
ing the first act. Elizabeth Arens
and Vaughn Atkinson also offer a
splendid dance during the last half
Of the performance.
The melody of the show is appre-

the orchestra plays HerbertS

from roots and herbs, Konjola is
a medicine wholesome and pure
one that Nature herself would rec
ommend. There are no heart de-
pressants, nerve deadening drugs,
alcohol or narcotics in this COM
pound. 1t is being explained every
day to large crowds Of people by the
Konjola Man who is at the Hook
Drug Store, Illinois and Washington
streets, this city. Among the people
swho call on him are those who have
already been benefited. Take, foT
instance, the case of Mrs Ethel
Johnson, r. r. No. 4, Box 800 E.
indianapolis, who made the follow
ing remarkable statement:
ITO think that twelve years of
suffering was ended by a single
medicine sounds almost unbelievable,
but when you realize the unusual
merits of Konjola-that is a differ
ent matter" said Mrs. johnson, land
that is exactly what Konjola has
done for me.
"Three ailments caused me intense
distress at all times They were
stomach. liver and kidney troubles.
I really don't know where to begin
to tell you about them, and since
| have been so wonderfully relieved /
hate to think about all the suffering
1 went through. Night rising to the
extent of seven or eight times was a
certainty every time I went to bed.
But that frequent action of my blad-
der did not only take place during
the night-but in daytime as well.
1t became q narrowing experience to
leave the house. I never knew when
a spell might come on. Meals were
no pleasure. Food never digested
right and always brought on some
sort of misery. Doctoring and TAX
ing medicines failed to relieve my
sickness. I was discouraged, tired,
WORKOUT and rundown. 1 got to
the point where 1 really did not
care what became Of me and there
was no enjoyment in life.
"Yet I could not avoid the fact
that Konjola has certainly produced
some amazing reservations to health
in Indianapolis, let alone the entire
state Of Indiana. Wondering if it
would do anything for me and with
out great deal of hope I began
the treatment Do you think you
could ever understand the surprise
and pleasure that awaited and
greeted me when started the treat
ment? Without any loss of time
Konjola went right to the source
of my troubles. 1t regulated the
organs and system. A warm glow
of health permeated throughout my
body. My stomach regained a nor
nal and healthy condition before
I hardly knew what was taking
place. My kidneys were next to be
worked upon and soon they were
strengthened so that sound and re-
freshing sleep was mine for the first
time in twelve years. Six bottles
of Konjola did me more good than
all medicines put together. What
can I say to praise Konjola, what
words are expressive enough? My
advice to all sufferers is to give
Konjola trial. / am talking from
experience"
The Konjola Man is at the Hook
Drug Store, Illinois and Washing
ton streets, this city, where he is
meeting the public daily, introduc-
ing and explaining the merits OF
this medicine. Konjola is sold at
all Hook stores in Indianapolis and

MURDER CHARGE
PLACED AGAINST
CANYON SLAYER
By United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Aug. "A COM
plant charging him with the muir.
der Of Barbara Maugcr, his common
Law wife, and her child, presumably
born after he left her to die, was
issued today against Russell Bethel,
Philadelphia engineer
The second count was not cx-
pcctcd and was based on the contcn-
ton of detectives that a small skull
found ten feet from Miss Mauger 5
body in Stone canyon was part of
the skeleton Of the child she cX-
pccted to bear. ''..
The motive for slaying the girl,
according TO detectives, was that
she wanted Bethel to marry her to
give her baby name.
The second count of the complaint
Indicated that authorities believed
Miss Maugcr was still alive when
she was thrown into Stone canyon
n month ago with n bullet through
her head and that she did not die,
perhaps for several days, until she
gave birth to the child
That the tiny bone structure dis
covered near Miss Maugcr s body
was considered her child was not
made definitely known until the
filing of the complaint.
The girl disappeared from the
apartment where she had been liv-
ing with Bethel on June 81 and her
body, badly mutilated by scavenging
animals was not discovered until 4
week ago.
Following the issuance of the com
plants he was arraigned and his
preliminary hearing set for August
10.
A coroner's jury returned an open
verdict in Miss Mauger s death.

WASHINGTON, Aug. If Rus
STA wishes to sign the Kellogg re
nunciation of war treaty, she must
come in as Il secondary power and
not as original signatorY, it was
stated definitely at the state depart
mrut today.
There will be no additions to the
- powers who have negotiated the
anti war pact and whose names
vii appear on the document when
it is signed in Paris late this month,
according to this official view.
The statement presumably was n
tended also to apply TO Spain,
which has made informal overtures
looking toward its participation IN
the Paris ceremony.
While the United States apparent
" was standing fast in its deter
lnination to keep the number OF
initial signatorics down to 10, there
were indications in diplomatic cir
cles that Spain, Russia and perhaps
other nations may find support
from France and Germany when the
foreign ministers gather in Paris
August q. -
1t is believed an agreement may
be sought in advance :" overcome
this difficulty. Under this arrange
ncnt, all nations who have not par
ticipated in the negotiations but
who wish 20 subscribe to the pact
may do so on August u, not how
ever, as original parties, but by
signing supplementary protocol
affirming their support of the pro
visions Of the treaty.
If this agreement is made, it IS
likely that some 80 or more conn-
tries will take part in the Parls
program.

FEAR FOR

Messages From Sunken
Submarine Cease After
Rescue Work Started.
EXPECT CASUALTIES
Fumes from Batteries
May Asphyxiate Part of
Grew.
By THOMAS B. MORGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent


ROME, Aug Communication
suddenly ceased with the sunken
submarine FIJI in the Adriatic Sea
today just after the little craft had
sent a message to rescue ships that
22Of her crew were known to be
alive, and the work of raising the
ship had been started.
Because of a 70 degree slant in
the submarine S position as it lay
on the bottom, it was feared the
storage batteries were upset and
that sulphuric acid fumes would
likely asphyXiate part of the crew.
The navy experts at the scene
fcard there would be casualties.
Aboard the Fla at the bottom of
the sea more than 100 feet beneath
the surface, were two officers and
! % men. The submarine sank yes
terday after colliding with the de-
stroyer Missori during maneuvers
off Brioni Island, at the southern
tip of the Istrain peninsula.
Naval ships had been sent from
Pola naval base to the Fla 5 aid
and every hope was held for an
carly rescue of the crew. 1t was
thought that the submarine itself
could be raised, by means of chains
i that had been attached to 1t, a;
soon as rough water subsidized.
! The submarine had been in radio
telephone communication with the
two cruisers, submarine and SIX de
strovers standing hy her, and divers
had passed air tubes through an ap-
crturr in the hull.
As actual work of raising the sub
marine was begun, something snap
ped and no further messages were
received.
The disaster to the Fla occurred
at $50 a. M. yesterday when III
maneuvers with group of destroy
crs the Fla tried to "attack' a
squadron living off Brioni Island.
As the submarine rose to the sur
face and struck the Missori, the
Fl4's radio operator, with remark
able presence of mind, sent out his
sos call before the craft had begun
to sink.
The approximate position of the
submarine was known at once. But
the exact position needed fixing
Admiral Foschini, commanding the
battle fleet, ordered scaplane to
rcconnoiter the position. Despite
heavy seas and a strong wind, the
pilot of the plane succeeded in To-
eating the submarine yesterday aft

MEXICO CITY, Aug. Posi-
biiity that Mexico will demand that
Plutarco Gales serve two NOR"
years as president Of the Republic
appeared stronger today.
Governors of all MeXicans states
this week will receive a petition
from governor Amado Aguirre of
the southern district of Lower Cali
fornia urging that the constitution
be amended to permit Gales term
of office to run six years. The
president 5 term expires Dec. and
according to the constitution, he
cannot succeed himself.
Governor Aguirre petition will
say that Gales is the only person
fitted to assure peace since the as
sassination of General Alvaro Ohrc-
gon, president elect.
A similar petition has been voted
by the party Of Adalberto Tejedc
who Sunday was elected governor OF
Vera Cruz, and several agrarian
groups have taken similar action.
Another important angle on the
DeIle1 alleS Will Dc- ftqutSLcd u

Of Aaron Saenz that the Obregol

disbanded. Some quarters interpret
this as meaning the Obregonista'

GOVERNOR SMITH
URGED TO MAKE
EXTENDED TOUR
By PERCY B. SCOTT
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. In
creasing pressure is being eXerted
on Governor Alfred f. Smith to
make an extended tour of the ma
tion in his campaign for the presi-
dency on the Democratic ticket.
The governor has been told that
he cannot adhere to his tentative
program of few speeches in wide
ly separated parts of the country if
he hopes to be successful. Some of
Smith s closest adviaers who origi-
nally agreed with the plan of few
talks, have about faced, and are
now advocating a swing to last at
least two months and three if pos
sible, during which Smith would
spend most of his time getting ac-
quainted with the voters.
A tentative program calls for a
trip through the border states and
then into the corn belt. While he
would be expected to make speeches
on such journey, its prime pur-
pose would be to get him out and
mixing with the people "to sell
his personality.
After thorough coverage of the
middle western states, the plan
calls for trip to the far west and
then a return to the east, where
the Democratic candidate would
close his campaign.
The only question in the minds of
his friends is whether Smith can
stand the physical strain of such
n trip. lie is in the best of health
but he has never been able to stand
an extended railroad journey.
The governor himself is not
wholly in favor of the idea, even
though it has been suggested to him
by several friends in whom he has
the greatest confidence.
