UNDER FIRE
1000 Advanced All Stars for
Los Angeles Contest Basis
for Threatened Court Act

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IA Q.N.S0. q.
Declaring that repeated unsuc-
cessful attempts had been made
to secure an itemized accounting
of the expenditure of $4,000
which was advanced to bring a
team of Notre Dame football
players here for a game Christ
mas Day, Frank S. Hutton,
exalted ruler of the Los Angeles
Elks, today asserted he was pre-
pared to bring suit, if necessary,
to get an accounting.
The matter came out for an
airing as Knute Rockne, Notre
Dame coach, arrived in Los
Angeles.
ROckne Turns Sick
Hutton said Rockne agreed to
organize the team and bring it
to Los Angeles. The team was
brought here by Hunk" Ander-
son, Notre Dame line coach, when
Rockne's physician advised him
against making the trip at that
time.
Hutton also asserted that An
derson had to be paid $500 in
addition to the $4,000 advanced
Rockne, and that Joe Savoldi
had to be given $500 and fur
nished with airplane tickets.
Although the. game drew ap-
proximately $65,000, the net
profits, according to Hutton,
amounted to not much more than
$1,000.
ROckne Makes Reply
Told about the rumpus being
kicked up, Rockne said:
"Any demand on me for an
accounting is foolish. When
my doctors ordered me to rest,
I gave up my plans for attend
ing the charity game. pre-
vailed upon the players to
come West.
eff the ElkS want to find out
about AnderSOn's S1,5OO, let
them get in touch with him.
when my players played in
New York the game crossed
about S126,OOO. Of this amount
S11,OO0 went for expenses. The
net profit was S115,OOO."

His Majesty sat alone at a table

Nevertheless, Chaplin's friends
are certain that the king of

Royal Audience
Royal eats or no royal eats,
Chaplin's japanese visit will prob
ably include a royal audience and
perhaps a decoration in one of
the grades of the order of the Ris-

If granted an audience, Charlie
must wear his full evening dress
outfit with silk hat-certainIy not

The master of ceremonies of
the imperial household will call
for him. A company of court
attendants in colorful costumes
will escort him from royal panel

of the sun goddess.
Charlie must bow. Through
royal interpreters, formalities will
be exchanged. Possibly, the
Emperor may ask questions about

Thirty-six members of the cast of
Earl Carrolls Sketch Book" ar
rested last night in a spectacular
raid during the first act, ap-
peared today before Judge Austin
F. Mccarthy on charges of taking
part in an indecent performance.
To determine whether the show
is immoral, Judge Justin F. Nc
Carthy today will attend a matt
nee performance.
Judge Mccarthy, in court this
morning, said the show must be
given exactly as it has been dur
ing the 50 weeks of its existence.
Twelve policemen entered the
Loop Theater, where the prOduc-
ton was in progress, marched
down the aiSles from right and
left, and assembled on the stage
before the fOOtlights.
The curtain was ordered down
and members of the cast heard
the warrants read, were ordered
to dress and were then bundled
into four patrol wagons which
had drawn up at the stage door.
James Carroll Held
More than half of those ar
rested we're chorus girls. Money
was refunded to the audience.
One of the girls was head to
say:
Friday the 18th. I just
knew something awful would
happen"
The worlds most beautiful
girls" clad in nothing but beads
and lace, crowded round the blush
ing police, declaring:
"YOu big buns, throwing 100
people Outta work."
Earl Carroll. producer of the
show, was not in Chicago, but
his brother, James Carroll, COM
pany manager. was one of those
taken in custody.
Held Till Midnight

building the prisoners were held
until midnight before booking and
bailing was completed. Bonds of
$1,000 were required in each case.

PROSECUTION
Of BROTHER
FAILURE
Herman, Washington Man,
Faced Long Term in Blast
That Took Three Lives

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 14.-With
the charges against Herman
Brady, charged with completely
in the Seat Pleasant bombing hor-
ror of January /, 1880, in which
three persons were killed, nolle
pressed by the State, Leroy
Brady, his brother, today was
sentenced to 10 years in States
prison by Circuit Judge Robert
Moss.
Leroy was found guilty Of sec
Ond degree murder by jury two
weeks ago. The defense indicated
that there will be no appeal. The
sentence imposed is little more
than half of the maximum pos
sible under the law, which is 18
years.
Charges Are Dropped
AS predicted in The Times at
the time of the first trial, the
State today dropped the charges
against Herman Brady in the
case. Naomi Hall Brady, expec-
tant mother and bride of Her
man, was one of the victims of
the Christmas package" bomb.
The others killed in the explosion
were Dorothy and Samuel Hall,
sister and brother of Naomi.
Blamed AS Maker
In the trial of Leroy the prose
CutiOn charged that he made and
planted the bomb, and in view of
the evidence introduced it was
doubtful if the charges against
Herman would be pressed.
Indictments against Leroy on
counts of the killing of the
brother and sister will probably
be dropped, it was indicated.

DOSSIBILITY looms that the
L American Legion may take
over the Democratic party just as
the G. A. R. assumed control of the
Republican after the Civil war-if
not the national organizations, then
at least those in Indiana.
Responsible leaders Of both par
ties are watching carefully the de-
velopment of the legion strength in
the state and are studying closely
the various moves on the political
chess board.
There can be little doubt that the
ex-service men were a potent factor
in the Democratic victories in the
state in 1880. Especially was this
true in the northern sections and
in Lake county.
Booming Of Paul " McNutt, for
mer Legion national commander, for
Governor, is one indication of that
organizations tactics, and recog-
nizing tn estrength of it's vote the
Democrats placed three members on
the state ticket in 1880. These
Judges Walter Treanor, Posey Kline
and Supreme Court Clerk Fred
Pickett
Because of this appeal to the ex-
service men, many Republicans are
urging that Raymond Springer of
Connersville, former Legion state
commander, now a member of its
national executive committee and
Sixth district c. o. P. chairman. be
nominated for Governor.
The Legion's trend toward the
Democratic party along national
lines, was eXemplified best in the
resolutions adopted at a recent
meeting Of its national executive
committee.
One of these emphasized the
serious economic condition of the
country and scored the business
leaders, principally Republicans, for
failing to warn the country of the
depression. Along the same trend
of thoughts, a second resolution
pointed out that the high Smot-
Hawley tariff may have contributed
to the business crisis.
A third assailed, by inference,
Secretary Mellon for alleged mis-
representation of cost involved in
paying the veterans so per cent
laons on their adjusted compen-
sation certificates.
The Legion is also, in the main,
made up Of a large percentage of
those opposed to the Eighteenth
amendment and they feel that re-
lief from its restriction can be OBJ
tanned only through the Democratic
party.
From all indications, the Legion
naires are replacing the 1917-18
rallying cry Of "On to Berlin" with
"On to the Democratic party"

another battle with herself, but this
one was of short duration. It was
one thing to wait few hours, but
something very different to face
days of suspense-days in which
Tommy might sink to levels from
which he never could rise.
She left the house quietly-for
her mother had heard DR.. Auguston
order her to remain in bed-and
went in search Of Tommy.
She knew where the Larkin house
was located-an old siding building
with rusty brown paint that had
peeled of in large patches with
ragged edges.
Polney Larkin-now the bully
''Pol"-had been one Of her class
mates in the fifth grade at school.
Then Polney had given up education
for what to him were pleasanter
pursuits. Now even some of the
towns police officers were known to
avoid him.
Tommy had been in trouble with
the Larkin boys That easily could
be fatal, but this once it hadn't
been. The doctor'd have told her.
She wished she'd questioned him
more, but it wasn't easy to talk
about Tommy.
Why had the doctor seen Tommy?
She should have asked him that.
It could only mean that Tommy

1t was plain that Tommy wasn't

to do was to go to the Larkin house,
as she'd intended, and find out
what she could from Pol if he were
at home.
She hadn't dared to take her
noisy old car, SO now she got a taxi
and asked the driver if he knew
where the Larkins lived. He looked
at her in astonishment and avowed
he'd tell the world he did.
At the house she asked if he'd
inquire for Polney Larkin, in the
hope Of having Pol come outside to
talk with her.
The driver was pleasant about it,
but whoever it was that came to
the door and called back inside to
inform the powerful Pol that a

to Beryl that she could come in
