The Washington times., 1931-07-22
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

NEW YORK, July 22-Along
toward 10 o'clock tonight -
.. m. Washington time) Jack
Sharkey and Mickey Walker will
square off beneath the lights in
a ring at Ebbett's Field, in Brook
lyn. for the benefit of the Free
Milk Fund for Babies, Inc.
The affair, known as the Amer
ican heavyweight championship,
promises to be real prize fight,
"throwback" to the good old bare
knuckle days. Few expect this
bout to go the limit, Is rounGs.
10000 Attendance Due
Lured by the prospect of seeing
two of the most colorful fighters
in the game slug it out, 10000 or
more spectators will wend their
way through the turnstiles. The
advance sale this morning had
passed 100000, which indicates
that the gate will exceed 5000 900.
Sharkey will enter the ring a
2 to l favOrite. Not that he is
the most popular man. On the
contrary, plenty will be there for
no other purpose than to see the
Boston blue jacket licked. The
crowd will be with Walker, the
underdOg and the smaller man.
When the principals weigh in
this afternoon, Sharkey will tip
the beam around 1913 and Walker
at around 1863. This is a lot of
weight for Walker to give any
man, to say nothing of a scrapper
of Sharkey's ability, but Mickey
thinks he can do it and win.
Many Favor Walker
1t is surprising to note how
many really competent judges Of
fighters predict Walker will take
Sharkey. Maybe the fine 5ally-
hoo this bout has received &C.
counts for such opinions, foT this
has been the best ballyhooed fight
in many moon. Those who like
Walkers chance of victory figure
JnaG Mickey Will Out-game Snar-
key, that he has better fighting
heart. They claim Sharkey will
dog it, under heavy fire.
This writer differs with that
viewpoint. 1 think there is little
danger of Sharkey "chucking" it.
Sharkey has almost every advan-
tage over Walker. He is just as
experienced, he is better boxer,
he has the big guns, he is taller,
heavier and faster and what is
more significant. he has a much
longer reach. He has only two
handicapS, as far as 1 can see,
namely: He hasn't fought in
more than year; that is, since
the night of June II, 1880, when
he had Max Schmeling beaten
only to lose the fight on foul,
and he sometimes loses his men,
tai poise in the heat of battle.

Sought for two years in connection
with the Staying of his wife in
Seattle, as well as for alleged Of
fenses against minor girls, Everett
Frank Lindsay, AZ, was arrested
early today and Immediately con-
foesed to the murder charge, police
said,
Lindsay's arrest eliminated a
two-year hunt which extended as
far as Australia, and was brought
about in a dramatic manner by Will
liam Sandbergh, who had employed
Lindsay as a plumber.
Sandbergh. police said, noticed a
police bulletin asking for Lindsay's
arrest in a detective magazine and
thought he recognized the subject,
who had posed here as Dave Hol-
land.
Sandbergh later showed some pho
tographs to Lindsay, and thus Sc

with those of the man sought, they
said.
Lindsay, who was known under
the aliases of Charles Cook, Charles
Collins and Everett Francis Dalton,
but whose true name was said to be
Charles E. Murphy, assertedly slew
his wife in Seattle April 81, 1880.
Her throat was cut. her skull
crushed and the body buried in the
back yard
With his adopted daughter, Pearl,
10, Lindsay went to Oakland, but
on May 3, with police hot on his
trail, he left the child in a rooming
house and went to Napa, where he
worked as prune picker for fam
| lily named Bellamore, police learned.
Some time later. he brought the
Bellamores 1l-year-old daughter to
Los Angeles to educate her" but
later sent her home, 1t was further
! learned.
Although Lindsay freely confessed
I to the murder charge. he refused
: to discuss any details, and also pro-
tested his innocence of three statu
tory charges placed against him by
Sheriff Claude E. Bannick of Kings
county, Wash.
He added that he had not parti-
cularly sought to escape arrest, and
expressed relief now that "it was
over"

ACTRESS STATES
JAPANESE ACTOR
FATHER OF CHILD

HOLLYWOOD. Oct. l6. UP)-A
broken blossoms romance which
had its counterpart in Hollywood.
was revealed today when Ruth No
BILE, actress, charged Sessue Haya-
kawa, japanese actor, was the faith
er of her child which he recently
adopted in Los Angeles courts.
Miss Noble at the same time made
public the contract by which she
allegedly sacrificed all right to her
baby for a payment of S4500 and the
promise of $3.50 a month.
The startling drama was brought
to light when Miss Noble signed a
complaint in which she seeks to set
aside the adoption of the child.
which took place before Superior
Judge Samuel Blake on July 81,
last. Her attorney, Charles H.
Clark. said the action would be
filed today.
HayakaWa and his wife, TSuru,
adopted the child under the name
of Alexander Hays" Every effort
was made at the time to keep the
adoption papers secret, but their
contents became known. The child
has typically japanese characteris-
tics despite his name.
Miss Noble, in relating the cir
cumStances of her romance, said
she appeared in a vaudeville act,
The Bandit Prince" for several
months.
Il always believed SusSue loved
me-" she declared. He has never
denied our child
The child was born January 81,
1929, at the Park West hospital, New
York, she declared. She said she
was destitute when she came to
Hollywood last June after learning
Hayakawa was returning to the
screen.
Hayakawa informed her, she ad-
ded. that the only way the child
could be assured of an education
and the upbringing to which he was
entitled was for he and his wife to
adopt the baby.
Miss Noble agreed, she said and
signed the contract which took her
child from her.
Learning that Hayakawa was re-
turning to Japan, mother-love has
overcome court procedure, and now
she wants the child returned to her.
Il want him back, contract or no
contract" she said.

NORTON RETURNS
TO VALLEY FROM
SOUTH CAROLINA

J. B. Norton, wen known plant
pathologist who developed the IA
nous Mary Washington asparagus
grown in Imperial Valley, and who
has also worked with DR.. Ivan Jag
ger on mildew experiments, is back
in El Centro today.
Norton spent several months in
South Carolina. where he expected
to do some heredity experiments
with asparagus. The long dry pc
riods, however. interfered with the
work so that conclusive results
were not obtained.
OF particular interest to local
growers, however, were his expert
ments on maturity tests to be used
as standards for shipping. Sugar
content tests are not always salts.
factory, he stated, for often fruit is
ready for shipment when the sugar
content does not reach the legal
standard.
Imperial Valley grapes, Norton
declared, are ripe, sweet and ready
for consumption, long before their
sugar content reaches the legal re-
quirement.
Maturity tests based on the ma
turity of the seed have been worked
out by Norton. Nature does not
mature fruit until the seed is ma
ture and at that point the fruit or
plant is ripe and ready for ship
ment.
Norton was formerly connected
with the agricultural commissioner
office. He plans to remain in this
city for a week and will be in the
valley part of the winter

Cannon Indicted
By Grand Jury
Continued from page y


Of the churchman were witnesses.
Neither Bishop Cannon nor Miss
Burroughs was present when the
indictments were made public. The
bishop was understood to be in At
lanta, Va, and Miss Burroughs n
Richmond, Va.
Partial Accounting Made
Jameson contributed approx
mately S65,000 to Cannon's anti
Smith campaign. Testimony before
the senate campaign fund investi-
eating committee subsequently de-
veloped that there was recorded
with the clerk of the house re-
port of only $1,000 of this sum.
The Federal Corrupt Practices Act
requires complete financial ac-
countings of political activities
falling within the jurisdiction Of
congress.
A transcript of the senate COM
mittee testimony was given United
States District Attorney Leo Rover.
This information was submitted to
the SIdIlu jury. AlIIoliS tliS Htt-
nesseS were bankers and politicians,
including former Senator Joseph
Frelinghuysen Of New Jersey. The
senate committee hearing develop
ed testimony that Frelinghuysen. a
Republican, had contributed $4,000
to Cannon. Frelinghuysen was quot
ed in the press as having acknowl-
edged this contribution and as -hav-
ing said it was made at the Sug-
gestion of c. Bascom Slemp, Repub
lican national committeeman for
Virginia.
Miss Burroughs twice refused to
testify before the senate committee,
in each instance denying its auth
ority to act. She is named in each
of the 10 counts as principal be-
cause she ives treasurer Of the anti
Smith organization and signed such
reports as were made to the clerk
of the house. Cannon is named with

of his own administration. The
Presidential attitude became known
after Adams submitted a budget
calling for s40l 900 600 next year
Mr.. Hoover ordered a cut to $780,
100000. Expenses this year are
$3.50, 900 900.
Reach Rock Bottom
Adams has now returned the ma
vy's counter proposition. 1t does
not provide a SCI 100000 cut, ac-
cording to authoritative sources, but
offers an Intermediary figure. The
attitude of the navy is that this in
termediary figure is the rock bot
tom expense possible for the main
tenance OF an efficient sea force.
The only comment from the
White House was issued informally
after Adams swift departure late
yesterday. 1t was said that Adams,
the chief of navy operations, Ad-
miral Pratt, and the heads of the
navy bureaus have made strong
and successful effort to bring about
reductions in the naval budget with
out injury to the efficiency of the
navy. Details now will be worked
out by the general budget director,
w ClaWson Roop, and the budget
officer Of the navy, it was added.
Whether this statement merely
transferred the dispute between the
President and Adams, to Roop and
the navy budget director, was a
matter Of speculation in naval cir
cles. 1t was felt, at any rate, that
no satisfactory agreement for settle
ment Of the dispute was in prospect
or it would have been announced in
the White House statement.
