INDIAN HEAD PENNIES
 NOT WANTED FOR FAIR
Chicago Exposition Officials Make Statement When Banks Complain
 of Rumors and Heavy Demand.

Chicago. May 20 R)-Be it known that the Chicago worlds fair in 1893 is not in the market for In- dian head pennies with which to pave it's floors
 This innocent fact became news today because of the unexplained barrage of inquiries received by the worlds fair commission, offering to supply pennies and inquiring the premium. Banks have been put to inconvenience by customers trading in bank notes for pennies-and specifying the Indian head variety. Coin dealers reported they were besieged with offers Of pennies for premiums which it was expected the government or the worlds fair to pay.
 William Martin Grampp of New York wrote that he understood the fair would pay five cents for every Indian head cent presented here during 1o33.
 But an Indian head penny Is worth just one cent to the world s fair, and the commission would like someone to explain who started it all.

RICHARD DIX TALKS

Richard Dix's first all-talking pie ture, Nothing But the Truth is undoubtedly one of his best. And that is saying something, because the handsome young Paramount star has made more than 30 films.
 At the Strand theater yesterday jubilant audiences looked at and lis tened to his artistic acting and lndl- cated by their frequent bursts Of laughter that they consider him a great favorite of the audible silver sheet.
 Nothing But the Truth is that favOrite of farce successes revamped for the screen and refurbished with newer and better comedy situations and an adequate trimming of music, singing and dancing.
 The vaudeville show is featured by Dave Seed and Ralph Austin, a couple Of Broadway noted scream ingly funny comics who will enter tain everyone in Success. Others includes Dallas Walker and Sister. Two Girls from Texas; Hamilton and Harlan in "Hokum la Carte |; The Frisco Harmonists with Leah Warwick: and Gerardo and Adair Co.. "World Supreme Dancers
 On Thursday the entire show will change and will offer Ramon No varro in sound picture, "The Pa gan" in which he sings with a rich tenor voice "1he Pagan Love Song.' Renee Adoree is included in the cast.

"GLAD RAG DOLL

Dolores Costello proved herself a screen comedlenne of verve and high talents last night at the Capitol theater where her latest Warner Bros. Nitaphone all-talking picture. ''The Glad Rag Doll" is playing for four days.
 This charming star has hitherto been seen in dramatic and emotional roles. It is doubtful if her many admirers will consent to have her return exclusively 10 such roles after seeing her as the temperamental musical comedy actress, Anabel Lea, in '"The Glad Rag Doll" Last nights audience loved her in the part, and laughed and applauded it's approval. Miss Costello's beauty adorns any picture. but it has a cer- tain piquancy and charm, an un- wonted sprighttiness, in a comedy role that will endear her still more deeply to her millions of fans.
 On Thursday the Capitol will offer ''The Ghost Talks" an all talkie with an all star cast, and beginning next Sunday the smashing underw orld drama "Alibi". an all talliie.

Paris More HOpefuI

Paris, May 20 P)-News that the American government has taken a hand in the reparation settlement tangle, which became known here today. has changed the aspect of things at the experts headquarters.
 It is generally felt that it may alter the whole course of the ne- gotiations and make possible a set tlement of which nearly everyone had begun to despair.
 The American delegation to the conference was stated to have re- ceived through the usual chan nels' a communication from Wash ington, but no member was willing to divulge its contents or make any statement concerning 1t. The en- bassy, through which the communi- cation was received. also was silent.
 From authoritative sources it was learned the document concerns a decision reached by President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson at cabinet meeting.
 The American experts refused at first to say whether or not they had received any message and referred all enquirers to the embassy. Final ly Thomas w. Lamont admitted

HYDE IS FIRST
. FARM RELIEF
WITNESS
kM

In an effort to get President
Hoover's view on farm relief legis.
lation, the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee will open its hearings Mon
day, with Secretary OF Agriculture
Arthur M. Hyde as the first witness,
it was announced today.
Hyde was asked to testify after
visitors to the White House failed to
get any pronouncements from the
President. Mr.. Hoover was pictured
as feeling 1t was the duty of Con-
gress to initiate legislation and that
the President would not interfere
with this constitutional function.
Farm leaders, however. desire the
Presidents advice. If Hoover will
not give 1t personally, they hope to
get the necessary information from
Secretary Hyde. Thus Tar, the
President has TOLD callers that his
views merely coincide with the Re.
publican platform and that 1t Is up
to Congress to draft the relief
formula.
Representative Of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, the Ma
ton Grange and the Farmers Union
also have been called for the session
Monday. The hearings probably will
last a week. after which the COM
mittee will draft a bill, satisfactory
to the President and devoid of the
equalization fee which featured
previous Senate bills. The measure
will be ready for the Senate when
Congress convenes in special session,
April Is.
