FILE MURDER CHARGE IN PRETTY M VAL CLERK DEATH
Red and Ready
But SuItan's Bright Auto
Is Without Roads for
Its Use.

BU United Press
TXTASHINGTON, July 22.-Out
wv in the sUn-baked sultanate
of Jimma, his royal majesty, Abba
Jisar, faces a dilemma. He has a
big new motor car of shiniest red,
but no roads to drive it on.
The predicament of Abba, who
Is known to the home folk as the
sultan of Jimma, was revealed to-
day in a consular report to the
state department. The purpose OF
the report was to advise American
motor car manufacturers that
their products, especially bright
red ones, might be sold in Jimma.
The chronicle Of Abba, like that
of Ulysses, is full of woe.
Recently he left his native
Jinma and set out for the motor
mart at Adds Ababa, capital of
Abyssinia.
He intended to buy green car.
Green is the holy Hoslem color
and Abba was good Moslem.
But the big red car caught his
eye and aesthetics triumphed over
religion.
1t is 180 miles from Abbis Ababa
to Jimma as the camel trots, but
there is no road.
Nevertheless, Abba gave his
newNred car the gas and set up
great dust whirlS across the
desert.
All went well until he came to a
river.
Abba was perplexed, but solved
the problem by giving an Armen-
ian taxi driver $500 to build a raft
and ferry him across.
Now the big red car is safely
quartered in the sultan's palace,
but it seems doomed to stay there
unless some roads are built.

Sheriff, Police Silent on De-
veIopmentS; Knife Fig
ureS in Case.

Fresh clews to the High School
road murder, May 81, were being
run down by city detectives and
deputy sheriffs today, but both
agencies refused to divulge in what
direction they might lead towards
solution of the mystery.
That none of them dealt directly
with Harold Herbert Schroeder, Mo-
bile, Ala, held in county Jail on
police charges of arson and murder
for alleged burning Of his auto in
which the charred body of man
was found, was deduced from the
fact that Schroeder remained quietly
in his cell while the investigation
seethed between police headquarters
and the Sheriff'S road patrol Office.
Obtained From Girl
Early today Sheriff George
Winkler turned over to Detective
Chief Fred Simon a new, long,
bone handle knife. Autopsy on the
body in the car disclosed that the
man died probably of knife
wound in the chest. Winkler has
admitted that a knife was taken
from Schroeder in Mobile.
was that the one?" he was
asked today.
"I can't tell you, now" he told
Times reporter.
1t was learned that the weapon
was obtained by the sheriff from a
girl, about 10, whose last name is
said to be Wiley and who figured
prominently in Winkler's investi-
cations of the past twenty-four
hours.

Monday night Winkler, Deputy
Ollie Mays, and the girl were in

unidentified man. This morning
Detectives Jack Stump and Clarence

someone, who failed TO show up.

tectives Stump and Colder, were in

VACATIONS TO
TAKE SENATORS
AROUND WORLD
Outings viii Vary From
Honeymooning to Fishing
and Campaigning.
By United Press

DN CUtttU GFtbS
WASHINGTON. July 22.-Re-
lieved of their duties in Washing
ton for the first time in twenty
months, United States senators soon
will be scattered all over the world
on vacations that vary from honey
incoming to private business, and
include travelling, fishing, golhng,
loafing and campaigning.
Many of the veteran senators are
faced by exceptionally rigorous op-
position this year and much of their
time between now and November
will be spent in mending political
fences. The senate does not meet
again until December.
The usual between-session con-
gresSional junkets will claim the at
tention of many of the senators.
Senators Ashurst Dem, Ariz) :;
Barkley Oem., KY; Tydipgs
Dem, Md, and Connally dem,
Tex, already are in Europe as
members Of the Interparliamentary
Union.
Senators Cutting CRep., N. M;
Wheeler dem, Mont.), and
Grundy (Rep., Pa, also are in Eu-
rope, though on private trips.
Senators Bingham (Rep., Comm
and Robinson Den1, Ark0, will
leave Sept. IS for a trip to Samoa,
with the Samoan commission.
Senator Norbeck (Rep., S. d., is
in Ireland for the celebration of
the 1,000th anniversary of the first
parliament.
Senators Smoot (Rep., Utah) and
Baird (Rep., N. j., will be the
honeymooners. Baird's honeymoon
already is underway with a trip to
Europe and Smoot plans to start a
belated wedding trip Immediately to
Honolulu. He and his bride have
been visiting at the White House
during the special session.
Three senate Investigations will
occupy the attention of senators be-
tween now and December. They are
the Investigations of campaign eX-
penditures now under way, and the
inquiry into banking and specula-
ton, and postoff1ce leases, scheduled
for late summer.

CARROLL SEEKS
JURY TO RULE
ON 'DECENCY'
Attorney Declares Police
Try to Make Sensation
of Show Raid.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, July 22.-Earl Car
roll and his co-defendants, charged
with presenting in the latest
"Vanities" an indecent show, sought
today to obtain a ruling whereby
jury of citizens from all walks
of life" should pass on the action.
Judge Rosalsky in general ses-
sions heard arguments for and
against such procedure and then
took the request under advisement.
Charge Girl Was Nude
Louis Vorhaus, attorney for Car
roll, carried the brunt of today's
argument, and attorneys for Jimmy
Savo, comedian, and three dancing
girls acquieSced in VorhauS' plea.
Vorhaus pointed out to Rosalsky
that fifteen years ago the latter had
sent to a jury the case of the Gar
den of Passion" in which it was
charged the players assumed I'm
decent and suggestive postures. ="
Rosalsky remembered the case.
Vorhaus en-. Dhasized that two
scenes out of 9. total Of sixty eight
had been objected to by police who
sWooped down on the alleged mud
tiles of the 1896 Vanities one aft
ernoon recently and carried off
Savo and a group of what Carroll
calls the most beautiful women
on earth"
AS for the police charge that one
of the beautiful girls was nude, Vor-
haus said he had twelve witnesses
to disprove this claim. The defense
insists that the girl danced behind
a gauze screen and covered herself
with two huge fans.
Wants Jury Action
Vorhaus suggested the police had
sought to make a sensation of the
raid and that authorities had ig-
nored hitherto prevalent custom
of cautioning producers to remove
Objectionable features.
The fan dance act and the win
dow at Merls" Jimmy Savo drap-
ing and undraping DIVING models
in a window-had been eliminated
since the raid.
Vorhaus suggested it would be
fair that jury pass on the decency
or indecency of the protested por-
trayals.

ADMITS OWNING GUN

By Tinted Press
WASHINGTON. July 22.-Her-
bert NJ. Campbell. Oak Crest, Va,
real estate dealer, was arrested early
today and charged with the murder
Of Mary Baker. pretty navy depart
ment clerk, mysteriously slain in
nearby Virginia last April IL.
Campbell was taken to the Arl-
ington county Jail early this morn
ing after q surprising series Of de-
yelopments which. investigators say,
apparently point TO his guilt and
tend to exonerate Herman H.
Barrere, World war veteran and
itinerant painter.
The real estate man, however,
steadfastly denies killing the girl
and asserts he did not even know
her.
Admits Owning Gun
Barrere. who was brought here
from Montreal last week and
charged with the killing, now is
being held only as a material wit
ness. He was arrested largely on
the strength Of CampbelIs state
ments.
Campbell, several weeks ago, ad-
mitted ownership of the gun with
which the girl was slain.
Until last night. however, he had
contended it was stolen from his
home shortly before the murder.
He linked Barrere with the theft,
saying the latter had access to his
home when he visited there April 10
to make an estimate on painting
job.
After five hours Of questioning on
Monday night, Campbell broke down
according to detectives, and ad-
mitted the gun had not been stolen.
He also admitted, but later. de-
MED. ownership Of the soiled pair
of gloves found with the girls cloth
ing near the entrance to the Ar
lington national cemetery, where
the bullet-riddled body was found.
42 Years Old and Married
Campbell also was forced to adj
nit, his questioners say, that he
was in the vicinity of Seventeenth
and B streets at $50 p. m. on the
day Of the crime. crime
It was there the girl was last seen
alive, engaged in an alteration with
a man in her automobile.
In admitting the gun never was
out of his possession, Campbell told
police he had concocted the story
of "a man with a wart on his
nose" who, he had said, returned
the weapon under singular circum-
stances and then disappeared with
out divulging his identity.
Campbell is ~ years old and is
married.

Crops Near Destruction and
Water Scarce in Rural
Sections.


Monday nights showers brought
little relief to heat baked southern
Indiana. Only continued, heavy
rains can save crops that so far
have withstood one Of the worst
droughts of the century.
Although further Thunderstorm
appeared probable today, the gov
ernment weather bureau forecast
fair weather for tomorrow, indicat-
ing possible continuation of the hot,
dry period.
Wells and cisterns in the south
ern section have gone dry. Rural
residents are drinking water hauled

And the belt is widening north
