THEATER MORALITY
is PANTAGES ISSUE

Alexander Pantages, 81, theater
magnate, accused of assaulting IT.
year-old Eunice Pringle.
Defense counsel inquired re-
peatedly if prospective talesmen had
the idea that men in the theatrical
business are less moral" than their
neighbors or if they thought that
girls seeking a theatrical career
must yield themselves to some man
in authority"
Occasionally a venireman was
excused when he decided "he'd
rather have his daughter II t go
looking for stage work" or that he
believed theatrical folk aren't as
good as they might me-"
Pantages, charged with having at
tackled Miss Pringle when she asked
him to book her dancing act on his
vaudeville circuit, was most inter-
ested in that line of questioning.
The former Alaskan gold miner,
now a muIti-millionaire and known
over the nation for his theatrical
ana sporting enterprises, paid close
attention to answers on morality
matters, although he was restless at
other times.
Seven men and five women oc-
cupied seats in the jury box when
court opened this morning, but the
proportion varied through the day
as state or defense challenged for
cause or used per-emptory chal-
lenges.
Opposing attorneys hoped to COM
plete the jury during the session,
but hat seemed impossible.

AIMEE'S MA HELD
ONLY TICKLE VAMP'
Pastor Sobs for His Lost
Love at Hearing for
$4,000 Balm.

BIZ United Press
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 2.-The
Rev. w. H. Clark, composed after
delving into the more intimate de-
tails of his alleged courtship by
Mrs. Minnie (Ma) Kennedy, will re-
sumo his testimony at his $4,000
heart balm trial against the widow
today.
Charging Mrs. Kennedy, mother
of Aimee Semple Mcpherson, the
evangelist, was tickle vamp" and
had refused to marry him after a
violent courtship, Clark yesterday
nearly collapsed after telling of his
friendship with Mrs. Kennedy. Ad-
journment of court was taken.
Clark sobbingly told of his amo-
rous rendezvous with the mother OF
Mrs. Mcpherson.
He told of meeting Mrs. Ken
nedy in theater in December, 1928,
and how their friendship ripened
into love-
He related to the jury Of eight
women and four men their meet
ingS in a hotel. He described one
meeting in detail, during which he
said Mrs. Kennedy made violent
love" to him.
He said they had numerous break
fast engagements.
Clark testified that Mrs. Kennedy
raised the question of marriage after
meeting in her suite at hotel.
About Christmas time, 1928, Mrs.
Kennedy went to Portland and sent
him a number of gifts, Clark said.
When she returned to Seattle, the
minister testified, Mrs. Kennedy told
him they were soul mates" but
that she could not marry him, be-
cause she was having trouble with
Mrs. Mcpherson.
Until Mrs. Kennedy's refusal to
marry him, Clark said, he knew her
only as MARY G. Clark"

SCHOOL BOARD
SLAVERY TO
Ship SHOWN
NO Competition in Buying
of Equipment viii Be
Kept as Rule.
EVASION ON BIDS Barred
Eurton and ZoerCher Clash
at Hearing on School
Budget.

No competition, and the use of
c. C. Shipp heating specialties. ex-
clusively, will remain the rule in
the Indianapolis public schools as
long as the present board retains
control.
This was the stand taken by
school board representatives at the
state tax board hearing on the
school budget Tuesday afternoon.
Phil Zoercher, member of the
state board, confronted them with
a series of order blanks for Shipp
specialties. All had been approved
by Carl w. Eurton, buildings and
grounds superintendent, during
July, 1928. In each case they were
just under 5000. The state board of
accounts has ruled that this sum
can be spent daily without adYer-
Using for bids.
Keeps Under $500
So, day after day, Eurton bought
the Shipp ventilating radiator units
from the Central Supply Company.
For three he paid $153 each and for
nine others $4,000 each.
Its legal" Eurton, who was pres
ent, defended. Then he launched
into a TRADE against oZercher and
said that some people thought he
had been on the state tax board
too long.
He also attempted to fasten some
of the blame for this method of do
ing business on Albert H. Walls
man, former school business direc-
tor. Walsman was on hand to aid
the Indiana Taxpayers Association
in pairing down the school budget.
Charles York, present business di-
rector, and Superintendent Charles
F. Miller were there, but remained
silent.
'Rotten," Says ZOercher
"It may be legal, technically, but
it's pretty rotten from any just
standard" zoercher declared. "Such
procedure is an obvious dodge to buy
materials without bidding"
Eurton later told The Indianapolis
Times that this system still prevails;
but he is acting under orders from
the board Snd the slips are approved
by the business director.
WalSman said that this conduct
of affairs has been in vogue in the
school city here for years.
A report, which reached Zoer-
cher, alleging that Ship had out
lined this system for escaping
competitive bidding to the school
officials was denied by Eurton.
$50 far as know, they figured
it out for themselves" he asserted.

Increased Air Corps, but
Without Army Cut, Is
Asked of Nation.
BY JAMES NJ. KERR,
United Press stan Correspondent

LOUISVILLE, oct. 2.-Buddies
who didn't come back from hospital
cots we're heard from through
speakers at the eleventh annual
American Legion convention here
today.
More than $4,000 Legionnaires
paused in their hilarious holiday to
listen to tributes to brothers in arms
who fell in France and to suggeS-
tons for improving the lot of dis
abled veterans.
Present with you in spirit" said
General Cahrles P. Summerall, chief
of staff of the army, lis the full
strength of the Ar'erican Legion,
nearly a million of the flower OF
American manhood and woman
hood.
And mingled with them, too. l
am sure. is that ghostly host who
gave their lives, needless that this
organization later might come into
being"
urges Need as Basis
Brigadier- General Frank T. Hines,
director of the United States Vet
Grams Bureau, urged actual need of
those to whom benefit awards are
made as a basis for veterans relief.
In practically all communities, -
said General Hines, you may hear
it said that some veterans, finan-
cially well off, are in receipt of
rewards which they do not actually
need, while veterans in actual need
are not being cared for.
eff actual need were made an i'm
portant factor in the award. it is
thought that it would more nearly
meet with the universal approval IF
the public and congress-"
The general cautioned against
any policy which might lead to pa
ternalism or dependency, and stated
the government is disbursing more
than $16,500000 monthly to disabled
veterans and dependents of de-
ceased veterans. The veterans bu-
reau, since it's inception. has paid
out. for all purposes. more than
$4,000 100000. he said.
He predicted facilities for hos
, pitalization of veterans would prove
inadequate within the next five
years and urged consideration Of a
building program.
Legislation Reviewed
The legislative committee report
mentioned enacting of liberalizing
amendments to the adjusted COM
pensation act, measures giving civil
service preference to veterans and
appropriations for government
homes and hospitals as outstanding
legislative developments this year,
which had been sponsored by the
legion
An increase in flying fields in the
United States from l 1875 to 6,422 in
the last year was reported by the
national aeronautics committee.
The military affairs committee
urged the universal draft. relocation
OF army garriSons to conform to
modern tactical requirements, and
an increased cir corps, but not at
the expense of the remainder of the
army.
A parade of freaks and tom fool
cry Tuesday night by the Forty and
Eight, fun organization of the
legion, was followed by its annual
wreck" Capers of the night CHI
