CONTRACT GOOD
AGENT STATES

LOS ANGELES, June IL. U.R)-
A contract between Edwin Carewe,
film producer, and Madame Ernes-
tine Schumann Heihk, operate
singer, whereby the latter was to
receive $4,000 for appearing in a
motion picture was described today
by William r. Dunn, agent. at the
suit against Carewe for $4,000 DAM
suit against arawe for $50, 900 dam
ages.
Dunn was followed to the stand
by his wife, Sabil johnson Dunn,
who declared she had helped her
husband in the contract negotia-
ton. Both told Judge l.. T. Price,
hearing the case, that on October
l, 1929, they had gone to Carewe's
office to discuss terms of the con-
tract with Madame Schumann-
Heink. The Dunns declared Ma
dame -Heink was not
present at the conference and that
Carewe had proposed that the singer
sign the contract first and that he
would sign it later.
But I told Mr.. Carewe that it
would make the madame much
happier if we brought her a con-
tract needing only her own sigma
ture," Mrs. Dunn testified. She
had been waiting for it for so long
and was SO discouraged I wanted
to make her happy. So Mr.. Carewe
signed the contract and Madame
-Heink signed 1t the next
day"

would END today were dispelled by
Attorneys w. I. Gilbert and Gun
ther Lessing, defending Carewe,

Madame Schumann-Heink stated
in her complaint that after making
her first picture she was to make

second film, $4,000 for the third
! and SIPS 900 for the fourth Her son
asserted Carewe had agreed to give
him $500 a week for at least u
weeks for participation in the pro-
position.

SHORTENING TEACHER
TRAINING WINS, 58-31

House Measure. Makes Reduction
From " to SO Weeks.
After failing last week to gain
constitutional majority, the Benz
bill reducing from seventy-two to
thirty-six weeks the elementary
teacher training requirements passed
by Indiana house of representatives
Monday by a vote of 1881.
Arguments last week that the
measure would be step backward
in the Indiana school system were
repeated today, Representative
DELPHI L. McKesSon, Democratic
floor leader, leading the attack.
McKesson asserted the duty of the
legislature was to protect teaching
standards in the interest of the chill
dren of the state rather than to
pave the way for a few more teach
ers to obtain jobs.
However, Representative Sam
Benz (Dem, Crawford and Har-
rison), carried his bill through by
pleading that thirty-six weeks are
enough training for elementary
teaching and that many poor young
men and women thereby would be
enabled to finance their continued
education by teaching soon after
they are graduated from high
school,

Betting Measure
Expected to Get
Little Attention

Prediction that the pari-mutual
betting bill, which has progressed
to third reading in the house, will
receive scant consideration in the
senate was made by Senator c.
Oliver Holmes (Rep., Lake, at the
Irvington Republican Club Monday
night.
Holmes and Lieutenant-G Governor
Edgar D. Bush addressed the club
ON problems of the present legisla-
tive session. The question regard
ing hope of passage of the pari-
mutuel betting law was put to
Holmes following his address.
II would be surprised if the pari-
mutuel betting bill gets more than
a gesture in the senate" the Gary
senator declared. "The Kentucky
political situation is dominated and
determined by a vicious gambling
situationh It is getting to be a
menace to that state. 1t is worse
than the saloons in Indiana ever
WERE"
The bill creating a boxing COM
mission will be given consideration
he predicted.
Bush declared the session is pro-
crossing nicely in the solution Of
tax problems if the Republicans
just don't hit a snag and not pass
the corporate income tax. This
would be political suicide, he as
serted.

Fearful Income
Tax III AdUiSed

Willy, nilly Senator James E. Wat
son, United States senate majority
leader has been accorded the same
post in the Indiana state senate.
Although no caucus of the senate
Republicans selected him, a pur-
ported telegram from Lieutenant
Governor Edgar D. Bush was the
commission, it was said.
This telegram is an S. o. S. and
its thought, according to those
supposed to know, is:
Help us save the Republican ship
in Indiana from being scuttled by
those insurgent Republican senators
who, anxious to cater to big
business, will vote against the cor.
poration income tax bill"
The message, it is said, also points
to the desire results which will re-
suit in 1882 if the personal income
tax, which was passed late Mon
day by the senate with lowered
exemptions, goes into effect on the
small wage Garner and farmer, while
the corporations escape.
Wholesale desertion of the C. O.
F. ranks by farmers and wage
earners is predicted by members of
the farm-labor blocS.
killing the corporation tax will
be fatal to the Republican party, >
the telegram is said to set out
and we must avert this action if
we expect to have a fighting chance
in 1892"
Perhaps Jim Watson, the Hoosier
senate leader, will show more stuff
than Jim Watson the United States
senate leader, the "boys" say.

Two Others Adopted and
Two Advanced to Sec
ond Reading.

Three bank bills killed today in
the Indiana house of representatives
counter balanced legislation passed
Monday afternoon when two meas
ures were adopted and two adj
vanced to second reading.
Legislation killed today would
permit banks in Boone county to
open branches in towns where no
banks now exist. Other measures
would prohibit banks from lending
money on bank-owned stock as COL
lateral or on more than 10 per cent
of another bank as collateral; per-
nit bank to invest its funds, not
exceeding 5 per cent of paid up
capital stock, to insure persons
holding places of public Or private
trust.
Most important of the lot up Mon
day was the Miller senate bill, de-
signed, its proponents claim, to in
sure greater protection for deposit
ors and passed unanimously, $50.
It's provisions make shareholders
of banks individually responsible for
all contracts and debts, each to the
amount of his stock in the bank at
par value in addition to the amount
invested in stock. Stockholders who
transferred Or sold their stock six
months prior to the banks failure
to meet its obligations would be
equally liable.
Other bank bills passed were the
Stein bill making trust funds by
a bank prior lien on all assets
and requiring separate designation
on statements of "first lien trust
funds; another Stein bill requir-
ing banks to include in their pub
lished statements of condition only
assets available for the payment of
deposits, guarantees, borrowings,
rediscounts and other liabilities.
Killed by vote of 1894 was the
Webb bill prohibiting the opening
of branch banks in cities of more
than 100000 population without
consent Of the state banking de-
partment.
Measures passed on second read
ing include another Webb bill pro-
viding that banks in cities with
$4,000 to 100000 population may
nots open branches without bank
ing department approval, and the
Karrer bill that banks or trust
companies serving in the capacity
of executors, administrators or
trustees give bond in the same
amount as that required of ma.
tural person.

BANK MAY REOPEN
Postal Savings Institution
Depends on Collections.

Reopening Of the Postal Savings
State bank, declared insolvent Oct.
%, is being considered by Raymond
D. Brown, receiver, it was an
nounced today following a receiver
ship hearing before Judge Clarence
E. Weir in superior court five.
Brown said, however, that reor-
ganization will depend largely upon
the collection of important obliga-
tons due the bank.
Postal bank was a subsidiary of
the City Trust Company, and was
closed by the state banking COM
missioner along with the parent in
stitution.
Il am certain that stockholders
will realize more under reopening
of the bank than they would
through liquidation" Brown said.
He indicated dividends will total
between IS and 95 per cent if the

COLD RELIEVED INSTANTLY
WAY DOCTORS NOW ADVISE
Tempting Taste! Instant Relief
Then Cold Just Disappears
When Treated This Way

Neglecting autumn colds is sure
to cause needless misery and may
risk pneumonia. So doctors are
now recommending a method that
is giving quick, sure relief-not
only in extreme hospital cases, but
in vast numbers of homes in Indi-
annapolis and vicinity.
Miss Edith Dennis, for example,
neglected her cold until her eyes
became infamed, her nose stopped
up and congestion started spreading
so bad she called her doctor who
advised Ayers Cherry Pectoral-a
hospital certified compound Of wild
cherry, terpin hydrate, etc.
With the first pleasant swallow
she felt its comforting, healing
warmth. Relief began instantly
and in an hour OF so the medical
ton was absorbed by her system,
loosening up congestion in her
nose passages and chest. When
she awoke next morning there was
practically no sign of the cold
and in another day, or so conges-
ton had disappeared entirely.
