theatre in New York City. From
that time on he Is in big time.
In the four and a half years since
that Sunday when Sidney Franklin
appeared in Mexico City, he has ap-
peared in rs fights, and there is not
a country in Central America or in
the northern part Of South America,
where he has not appeared before
the highest officiafs.
Born in Brooklyn. Sidney Franklin
showed such aptitude at his school
work that, with the aid Of a sister
who is a teacher, he received his A.
B. degree from Columbia University
at the age of II. Franklin has al
ways been interested in art and IL
was because Of his studies along this
line that he was allowed to 70 70
Mexico City when he was 10 years
old. There he lived with a sister
and brother-in-law and opened an art
studio.
Although Franklin ranks with the
best matadors in skill, there is one
thing for which he is lauded wher-
ever he appears. That is his bravery.
Franklin has quickened the hearts Of
the spectators time after time with
feats that are so out Of the ordinary
that they appear foolhardy. Valley
people still talk Of the time, three
or four years ago, when he saved the
life Of a fellow matador at Mata-
moros. The matador mad slipped and
the bull was on hfm, stamping him
and hooking him, when Franklin
rushed in, without a weapon or red
cape, grabbed the bull by the horns
and tail and circled with him until
attendants could carry the irfr-"@
matador from the f'al4.
ks.4y American has many ques
tons to ask about bull fighting, once
he has seen an exhibition. Among
the first of these Is the matador's
salary. Franklin averages $1,000 per
fight. He never fights in Mexico
City for less than $500. Gaona his
teacher, drew $4,000 for each exhi-
biticn. Gaona has now retired.
This will probably be Franklin's
last fight on the border. Following
his fights at Reynosa on October Is
and II, he goes to Central and South
America for two months. Then will
come his first visit home since he
first vent to Mexico. He will leave

New York for Madrid, Spain, where
he has a contract to fight during
Easter week. II he in successful in
this fight, which he undoubtedly will
be, he will be able to command a
salary Of $4,000 or $4,000 for each ex-
hibition.
IL is worthy Of note that to Frank
lin goes the honor OF getting the
first ear at Reynosa. When n mata-
dor shows exceptional skill and brav-
cry in a fight, the referee has the
right to grant him the privilege OF
cutting an ear from the bull. OF
all the matadors who have appeared
IN Reynoas, Franklin was the first
to receive this honor and ii was at
the fight on September Q. OF this
year.

D. c. Stephenson, now life pris-
oner in the Michigan City Prison,
still is a resident of Marion County.
This was the ruling of Su-
perior Court Judge Byron K. Ell

abatement in civil suit brought
against Stephenson.
The plea filed by Lloyd Hill and

Marion County court has no juris-

Old Folks Say Doctor
Caldwell was Right

The basis of treating sickness has
not changed since DR.. Caldwell left
Medical College in 1875, nor since
he placed on the market the laxa-
tive prescription he had used in his
practice, known to druggists and the
public since 1892, as DR.. Caldwelps
Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of constipa-
ton, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression, indigestion, sour Stom-
ach and other indispoSitions that
result from constipation was en-
tirely by means of simple vegetable
laXatives, herbs and roots. These
are still the basis of Dr. Caldwells
Syrup Pepsin, which is a combina-
ton of SIENNA and other mild laxa-
tive herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for con-
stipation, the safer for the child and
for you, and the better for the gen.
eral health of all. And as you can
get results in a mild and safe way
by using DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pep
sin, why take chances with strong
drugs?
A bottle of DR.. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin will last a family several
months, and all can use it. 1t is
good for the baby because pleasant
to the taste, gentle ain action, and
free from narcotics. In proper dose,
given in the directions, it is equally
effective at all ages. Elderly peo-
pie will find it especially ideal. All
drug stores have the generous bot
ties.
We would be glad to have you
prove at our expense how much DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin can mean
to you and yours. Just write your
name and address in the special

JOHN RAU Dead;
HEAD OF CLASS
INDUSTRY HERE
Began Work at g, Became
Leader in His Field
of Endeavor.

Death claimed a pioneer in the
glass industry when John Rau, Y
vice president and founder of the
Fairmount Glass Works, passed
suddenly at his home, 1904 Park
Ave, at GAS Monday night.
Heart disease, with which Mr..
Rau had been troubled for several
years, caused his death. He re-
turned a week ago from vacation
with his wife and other members
of his family at Lake Wawasee
Monday, he was ordered to bed by
his physician, DR.. o. S. Jaquith.
Mr.. Rau retired from the presi-
dency of the glass works three years
ago, but since had been an active
vice president. His son, John H.
Rau, Jr., succeeded him as presi-
dent.
Began Work at 8
Mr.. Rau began work in Louis
vile CKy) glass foundry at the age
of 8, continuing there until he was Is.
BY night work and consistent ef-
fort he was able to surmount the
deficiencies of his early education.
Following employment in Milwau-
flee glass factory from 1884 to 1885,
Mr.. Rau became manager of a new
plant in Golden, Colo, where he re-
NAMED for two years.
A year in a MaSsillon (Ohio)
glass works, as glass blower, helped
him to gain more practical expert
ence.
In 1889, Mr.. Rau formed a part
nership with three other men and
established the glass plant at Fair
mount. Coming to Indianapolis in
1904, he and several associates built
a large bottle manufacturing plant.
Held Many Patents
Mr.. Rau, besides being identified
with the executive angle of the
glass business, held almost a score
of patents, involving many phases
of glass making. He built the first
continuous tank ever used in the
United States. The value of this
experiment was demonstrated when
six years later, other glass men be-
gan to follow his example.
Many of the machines used in the
Paramount plant are Mr.. Rau'S in
ventions. His factory was the first
to turn out machine-made bottles
of f1ve-gallon capacity.
Mr.. Rau was president of the
One-Piece Bi-Focal Lens Company
and of the Twin-Sight Optical
Company for a number of years
and at various times during his con-
nection with the glass industry held
almost every Office in the Glass
Blowers Union. He was a member
of the Indianapolis Athletic Club.
Mr.. Rau was married to Miss Alice
Marsh, Louisville, in 1888. Mrs. Rau
and three children survive him
They are: Charles D. Rau, 465;
Carrollton Ave; John H. Rau Jr.

Kenneth K. Woolling, 2135 N. Me-
ridian st. Funeral arrangements

BRITAIN DETAILS
STAND ON ARMS
Each State. Must Judge or
Self, League Told.

BIZ United Press
GENEVA, Sept. 11.-Britain's at
titude toward disarmament was dis
cussed before the League of Nations
assembly today by Lord Cushendun,
British delegate.
He defended the Franco-British
efforts to reach naval agreement,
as Aristide BRAND did in behalf of
France Monday.
Disarmament is the predominant
ing question of the present assem-
bly," Lord Cushendun said. Its
importance cannot be overestimated.
I appreciate the disappointment of
Chancellor Mueller of Germany and
others at the slow progress made,
but I fear Herr Mueller doesn't ap-
preciate the difficulties facing the
preparatory disarmament commits
sion.
Resolutions can not produce dis
armament. Only work along practi-
cal lines can do that. Each state
has right to judge for itself the
level of ornaments necessary for its
security"
