interested in the mechanics which

is the mechanical side of this movie
which will make the theater man

count up the weekly gross.
Even as fire an actor as Lionel
Barrymore, cast as the inventor of

this picture above the average in
acting. Jane DAILY is the heroine

TO ESCAPE SPY DEATH
California Tourist Proves to French Courts He Had Not
Been Out of America in So Years.

interviewed and showed French Of
ficials that Hartman's papers
proved that he had not left the
United States for fifty-four years
and, therefore, could not have spied
against France in AlSace.
A gray-haired man of IA, Hart
man admitted to the tribunal that
after the Franco PrusSian war in
1871 he hoped for French citizen
ship, but that three years later he
went with his brother to the United
States and settled in San Francisco,
where he made a moderate fortune.
He returned to Alsace as an ordi-
nary tourist.
1t was then that he learned for
the first time that one Charles
Hartman had been sentenced to
death by French court-martial for
espionage, the charges involving the
betrayal of French citizens living in
Switzerland.
According to French law, the &C
cused had to prove his innocence.
Hartman received the fullest as
sistance from American officials
here in obtaining the necessary af-
fidavits and documents from San
Francisco to prove that he did not
land on French soil during the hos
tilities from 1914 to 1918.
Half an hour after Hartman en-
tered his native town of Nordhein
he was arrested. Previously door
after door was slammed in his face
when he told his name and sought
out old friends.

DRY FORCES MUST FLASH
SIGNS IN HALTING CARS
Metal Identification Shields to Be Placed in Use When
Challenging Autos Suspected of Carrying Liquor.

hereafter must display large black
and white metal shield of identifi-
cation when they stop automobiles
suspected of carrying liquor.
The shield, which Woodcock ap-
proved today, will be seventeen
inches wide and twenty inches long.
Across the top in black letters on
a white background will be the word
STOP" Beneath there will be a
large black "U. S."
In smaller letters, the shield will
inform the suspected motorist that
it Identifies an official Of the bu-
reau of prohibition" On the tip
of the shield will appear the seal Of
the Justice department which now
is in charge of prohibition enforce
ment.
Woodcock ordered this precau-
ton as the result of widespread
criticism of several incidents where
prohibition agents have stopped in
nocent motorists, and in some cases
have fired.
The dry director said agents would
be compelled to hang the marker
over the right front door of their
cars when stopping motorists.
The shields, which can be de-
tached when not in use, will be IL
Illuminated by hand flashlights at
night.

Leslie Silent on Means OF
Raising 81 10000 for
Highway Jobs.

Several plans for raising 81 ,0OO,-
900 without approval of the state
finance board to carry on Indiana
drought relief are being considered
bv Governor Harry G. Leslie, he
said today.
Leslie's statement came preceding
another conference with his drought
commission. He refused to make
public any of the proposals that ne
claims to have devised.
Leslie will confer with State Au-
ditor Archie Bobbitt and attempt
to convert Bobbitt to the idea OF
the state finance board making a
$1,0OO000 loan, which the state
auditor believes has been declared
illegal by Attorney General James
M. Ogden.
Leslie wants the 81 100000 for the
state highway department and ex-
poets to match it wits 100000 in
federal aid to be expended on
southern Indiana roads in giving
labor to burned out farmers.
The highway department could
i e 100000 to pay their current
deficit, according to figures given
/ the finance board.
Stout Dubious of Scheme
Ogden ruled that the highway
department can not borrow money
but the scheme afoot is to make the
loan for the general fund and Their
transfer it to the highway depart
ment.
1t struck snag Tuesday Wher
Elmer Stout, president of the In
diana Bankers Association and the
Fletcher American National bank
stated that he was of the opinion
that there is no law permitting sucf
transfer.
Previously he had favored the
loan and said it could be made from
Indianapolis banks at 4 per cen
interest.

SWAP RENEWS
QUARREL OVER
MIXED BABIES
Court Action Is Threatened
Against BambergerS
by Wat, =
WANTS CHILD RETURNED
He Was at Ball Game as
Wife Traded Infant to
Rival Parents.

bU. DlNicI FFf6S
CHICAGO. Aug. 2o.-The famou;
Watkins Bamberger baby mixur
case became more involved thar
ever today as William Watkins
greeted with loud threats of Law
suits his wife's action in trading
children without his consent.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Bambergel
called at the Watkins home Tues
day night, traded babies with Mrs
Watkins, waited a while, and left
before Watkins got home from the
sixteen-inning Cubs ball game.
81 wouldn't have allowed it had
been home" declared the man who
a few weeks ago was so anxious te
make the trade. How do l know
which baby is ours and which be-
longs to the Bambergers? That
question has to be decided in the
courts.
"Just wait until see my lawyer
III probably sue the Bambergers
and everybody else who had any
thing to do with this"
Born on Same Ddy
Sons were born to Mrs. Watkins
and Mrs. Bamberger on June 80 II
Englewood hospital.
Ten days later, the parents dis
covered evidence that their offspring
had been switched.
On the back of the baby taken
home by Mrs. Bamberger was found
a strip of adhesive tape on which
was written Watkins"
Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins insisted
that the infants should be ex-
changed. Eleven famous scientists
made every known test and agreed
with them.
Then the parents decided to drop
the whole thing and keep the babies
they had.
Statements made by the four par
ents today were:
Mrs. Bamberger-" Everything Is
lovely" -----4-s-.s
Mr.. Ban1berger-"We're satisfied.
Mrs. Watkins-'I feel terrible
about it all"
Mr.. Watkins-"Ill sue"
Baptisn1s Are Different
The most troublesome angle o.
the entire case appeared to be the
fact that the children had beer
baptised in different churches.
The Bambergers took the BABY
who now is in the Watkins home t
the Catholic church and had hin
christened Charles Edward BAN
berger.
The other child was christenet
Charles Evans Watkins by a Pres
byterian minister.
"Oh, that's easy" Bamberger salt
when reminded of that angle. wei
Just let the clergymen straighten
out"
The latest development in tn
famous case presents a direct re
versal of policy by both fathers.
Ready With Gun
Watkins originally had wanted t.
trade, but Bamberger announced n
had purchased a gun and was pre-
pared to defend his child agains
the Watkins.
st suppose We'll sue if that's wha
William thinks BEST" Mrs. Watkin
said. I'm awfully sorry that
didn't wait until he got home be
fore trading the babies, but
thought that was what he woul'
want to do"
The babies appeared to be yer
much disinterested in the whole pro
ceedings.
Both howled Justify during tn
trade. but neither showed signs o
actual like or dislike of their neJ
mothers after they had change
| homes.
