It is tuneful. singing, dancing show that sparkles with glorious fun.
 The show which was produced for the benefit of orphans and crip- pied children was witnessed by the largest crowd ever present at a Lions frolic. The show started at about S:30 o'clock and was brought 10 q conclusion at 10:45 o'clock. During this time the large crowd was kept interested in series of snappy musical numbers. distinctive dance routines, and comedy of many types.
 The production was divided into two parts, the first a series of nine sketches, most of which were of a musical nature, and the second night club scene. which featured a great deal of New Britain's lead ing talent.
 The first number was "A Heart to Heart talk with the Audience" by Is young women and eight young men. The spoke in unison and fol- lowed it with dance. The girls were dressed in attractive costumes and the boys in tuxedos.

 A dancing act which was pre- scnted by Oscar Erickson and Gun nard Johnson was surpassed by very few presentations in the show. These two have appeared before and have been decided hits but in last nights show they scored even more heavily, They had to respond to two encore'

 Fine work was exhibited in the new act, "A Vocal Tragedy" All four characters were excellent in their parts and they were often in- torrupted by applause. The girl was played by Mrs. Sally Rowley Bertini and the scene opened with an nouncement to her by the stage manager Gohn SchenclD that she was a terrible singer and would do better back home on the farm. The part of a tough neWsboy. played by Robert Greer, could not be improved upon
 Then Ernest Rush as Professor Bokanki arrived and his interpreta- ton Of an Englishman was a hit. His actions were typical of 8 occen- tric musician.

BEGIN HEARING
ON GAS SUITS
Financial Conditions Re-
viewed in Federal Court.

Review of serious financial condi-
lions faced by the Citizens Gas
Company from 1921 to 1928 were
given in federal court today as the
hearing began on the suits to pre-
vent the city from taking over the
company's property, as provided in
the 1905 franchise.
The suits are brought by Newton
Todd and John j. Cotter. They al
lege that the city's rights were lost
in 1921 when the company complied
with the public service commission
order and surrendered its franchise.
Attorneys for the city, however,
allege that a contract contained in
the franchise was not surrendered
and Judge Robert c. Baltzell already
has ruled in favor Of the city on
that point.
j. D. Forrest, former manager and
secretary, of the company, outlined
the desperate condition" of the
firm ten years ago. Forrest said
that although the company was
headed to a profitable year in 1920,
the financial crash and business
depression" coupled with the huge
supply of products on hand, placed
the company in a serious position.
He described efforts of the COM
pany to solicit financial aid and the
futile efforts to sell preferred stock.

GOVERNOR, PUZZLED, TO
RETURN HOME TO VOTE
Leslie to Take Choice and Will Cast
Ballot at Lafayette.

Rather than wade through the
long list of G.. o. P. candidates in
Marion county and join one of the
hundreds of fighting factions, Gov
ernor Harry G. Leslie will return to
his old home in West Lafayette to
vote Tuesday.
The Governor came to the state
house today puzzled as to where to
cast his ballot. The law says the
Governor must establish residence
at the capital city, but further in

HEAVY PRIMARY
VOTE IN STATE
is PREDICTED
Bitter Organization Fights
to Draw Voters
to Polls.

Predictions of heavy primary
vote over the state were made to-
day in localities where there are
bitter organization fights.
Statewide interest is at low
ebb, principally because no state
nominations are to be made in the
primary, the highest Office contest
ed being representative in congress.
In Lake county, where Ralph
Bradford is attempting to wrest
control of the county organization
from Walter Schrage. claimant to
the mayorship of Whiting, heavy
vote is predicted.
For the first time in years Demo-
Gratis are accorded a chance in the
Thirteenth district.
Vote to Be Light
In st. Joseph county proper the
vote is expected to be light. The
Democrats have steam rollered all
opposition to the organization ticket
except for few minor posts, while
the Republicans had difficulty in
finding candidates to fill the ticket.
Floyd Fishburn, former treasurer
of the khan, opposing Roy H. Wolfe
for the Republican nomination for
sheriff, is making the only race in
the county.
Samuel B. Pettingill is expected
to win the Democratic nomination
for congress and will oppose Andrew
j. Hickey, incumbent, in the fall on
a wet and dry issue.
In Vigo county, Democrats are
taking an active interest in the Re-
publican primary because of the
long bipartisan combination be-
tween Postmaster Hays and Dick
Werneke.
At Evansville Judge Charles A.
Book, candidate for denomination
and leader of the reform" crowd
in the Republican ranks, convened
the grand jury, when it was re-
ported trainloads of Negroes were
being brought in for the primary.
Democrats Are Split
The Democrats in Vanderburgh
county also are split as result OF
the fight of City Judge Charles
Eichel backed by John Jennings to
wreSt control of the organization
from Mayor Frank Griese.
At Muncie, Mayor George E. Dale
is facing his first popularity test.
Adherents of Albert Vestal, in
cumbent congressman, are charging
that Joe Davis, prosecutor and Re
publican candidate for congress, and
Paul S. Brady, county chairman
have formed a coalition with the
Democratic Mayor Dale to obtain
the nomination of Davis.
This bipartisan" cry has been
carried through the Eighth district
in behalf of Vestal and is expected
to score aid.
Seven incumbent congressman in
the state have no opposition. They
are Arthur H. Greenwood Oem),
Second district; James w. Dunbar
(Rep), Third district; Harry G.
Garfield Dem), Fourth district;
Fred S. Purnell (Rep), Ninth dis
trict; Will E. Wood Rep0, Tenth
district; David Hogg Rep),
Twelfth district, and Andrew J.
Hickey (Rep), Thirteenth district.

MINIMIZE rum USE
Few Legislators Drink,

2 \ WNAlajSHINGTON, May 5.-Con-
gressional drinking has been vastly
overrated and there are many legiS-

of alcohol, the Methodist Board Of

gressmen, however, the Methodist
drys could find no excuse.
