COURT BATTLE
IMPENDS over
PERRY SCHOOL
City's Annexation Move Is
Protested at Township
Mass Meeting.

An appeal to the courts to pre-
vent the indianapolis school city
from assuming control of the newly
annexed Perry township grade
school, near Hannah and Otterbein
avenues, will be taken by township
residents protesting the move.
This was announced today by
Omer Green, trustee, through his
attorney, Edwin E. Thompson.
Vigorous protests against annexa-
ton were registered at a mass
meeting Monday night at the
school. Three hundred persons at
tended.
University Heights residents, who
obtained passage of an annexation
ordinance by the city council, en-
gagged at the mass meeting in heat
ed arguments with Perry township
residents living outside University
Heights.
Threats have been made that
the city is going to take over the
school at once" Thompson said.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-01-26

He pointed out that township ON
Gals want the transfer postponed
until the school term ends this
spring.
This is the most damnable pro-
ceeding I ever heard of. 1t would
disarrange the whole Perry town
ship school system at this time, .
asserted Thompson.
L. o. Hannah, who led the fight
for annexation, declared the trans
fer would be made according to
law.
1t will be necessary for Perry
township to erect another building
for it's own 383 pupils now attending
the school when the school city as
sumes control. Thompson contends
it will be impossible to build be-
fore summer.
A. j. Tilson, chairman of a town
ship committee opposing the annex
alton, presided at the mass meet
ing.
The disputed school was annexed
by the city council on petition of
residents of University Heights,
which is a part of indianapolis but
which, prior to the annexation, had
no school for its 100 children. These
children we're attending the town
ship school.
Trustee Green and city school
officials disagree over the transfer
fees paid by University Heights
children to attend the township
school, as compared with the fee
charged for a number of township
children to attend city shcool
nearer their home than the town
ship school.

Mills Believes Depression
Can Be Ended by u. S.
FinancierS.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Ogden L.
Mills, under secretary of the treas.
ury, has urged American banks to
stop the depression by establishing
free flow of credit.
THE flow of funds into the banks
must be reversed" he told members
of the American acceptance council
here last night.
There is now" Mills said, "a sur
pristng unanimity of opinion that
liquidation has proceeded beyond a
beneficial point and that healthy
progressive recovery is possible, and
of course, desirable" He set the
turning point as last October.
To very great extent" Mills
said, the banks themselves can con-
troll the process by which they have
been destroying their own de-
posts" through calling loans and
selling securities.
There is every reason to believe.
he argued, that If this process can
be stopped and mere psychological
troubles dispelled, "the foundation
is now sufficiently firm to justify
our vigorously addressing ourselves
to the task of reconstruction"
The essence of the economic prob
lem, Mills declared, is to arrest de-
fation, to make available the credit
needed by American business, in
dustry and commerce, and to en-
courage its USE"
Such a program has taken def
mite shape. It's early operation is
assured There must be no holding
back. We must press energetically

IN New York Paris, London and Berlin,
and in Delhi, Peiping and Toxic more
magicians peddle their wonders at
the present time than ever before in
history, for the appeal of the subtle
art of magic has not been lessened by
the astounding and elaborate mecha-
nisms of the everyday world. Indeed,
the very complexity of the electrical and
mechanical devices Of the home and fac
tory make magic all the more amazing,
for those things which are impossible
to science are seemingly demonstrated
by wizards who use only magic words.
For example, science today presents
radio, with all its elaborate mechanism,
but hundreds of years ago magicians
brought voices out of the air. The
magician of today, however, laughingly
admits that his spells are merely for ef-
feet, that his incantations are simply the
lines of his play, and that his only power
Is the power to entertain.
Magic is something that can be under
stood by all types of people and in every
land. Consequently, magicians are great
travellers. 1t is not unusual for magl-
clan to have sailed the seven seas and
played in all countries which border
them. When he cannot speak another
language he memories, parrotlike,
translation of his patter or omitS all his
professional conversation and limits
himself to pantomime. Magic is the
apparent defiance of natural laws Be-
fore magic can become magic the audi
.ence must know that the things the
magician seems to be doing are in actual
ity Impossible.
If the magician limits himself to max
ing things appear and disappear, restor-
ing objects which have been destroyed,
making things float in the air, which,
without magic, would not float, he finds

conversation got around to royalty.
Houdini told of his visit to Gar Nicholas
and the three days he had spent In the
palace. Thurston told how King Edward
used to come backstage in the London
theater, sit on a prop trunk in Thurs
toms dressing room and exchange card
tricks. His majesty was a Skillful per-
former, as is his grandson, the present
Prince of Wales. Mallini told OF the din
ner he had had with Queen Liliuokalanl,
the last of the Hawaiian monarchs, and
some of the other magicians present
laughingly asked if it were really true
that he had said to Queen Mary at a
command performance at st James
Palace: Here, Queen, take card"
Nine. Hermann recalled stories of Alex
ander III, Emperor of Russia. felt as
if I really had no right to be present;
at that time never had had command
performance.
BY the time coffee and cigars were
passed, the conversation had gone from
performances before royalty to the ever
fascinating subject of where tricks come
from. OF course, magicians find 1t easier
to demonstrate tricks than to describe
them. Mallini, for instance, called for
a newspaper, and the turbaned East In
dian handed him one before he had fin
ished asking for it. Mallini wrapped
tumbler in the paper and placed wal
nut under it, The walnut changed to

that the audiences of the entire world
will be amused.
BECAUSE magicians travel SO far and
so much, they may miss one another
for years. When several reach town
at the same time there is almost certain
to be a party. One such party occurred
five years. ago in Howard Thurston's
home on Long Island.
The Chinese bronzeS, the Burmese
teakwood, the Indian brasses, the Per-
sian rugs and hangings, all give his home
an Aladdinlike setting. The white-tur-
baned Indian, ready with lighted match
at your elbow even before you had made
up your mind to smoke a cigarette, COM
pleted the setting.
Dinner was announced, and men who
who had confuted Sages, offered their
arms to ladies who needed nothing more
than softly spoken command to disap-
pear into the thinnest of air. At the
head of the table sat the marvellous
Thurston, with Adelaide Hermann, widow
of the Great Alexander, on his right, and
Mrs. Houdini ON his left. At the table
were Houdini, the greatest Snowman
America has known, and Harry Rouclere
and his wife, the marvellous Mildred, who
knows not only what you think, but
what you are going to think There also
were Max Mallini and Charles Carter
And there were Others

cordial glass filled with brandy. Mafiini
accomplished each Of these metamorr
phoses by merely covering the object
with the newspaper-wrapped tumbler.
When the small glass made its appearance
the magician crushed the newspaper and
the tumbler had vanished. This was
done casually and simply to prove point
that he was making in his talk. other
tricks were shown to prove other theories.
We magicians enjoy the mysteries of our
fellows.
It was a memorable evening. Never
did we all meet again. Mallini went to
South America. Carter and toured the
Orient Houdini died.
OUCH informal gatherings are not fsr
- frequent But there is more regi-
mented organization to which most of
us belong. It began a good many years
ago. Francis Martinka, who formerly
had toured Europe and South Africa az
the manager of performer, opened a
shop In New York with his brother, An
tonic, to supply the appurtenanceS for
magicians. This was not the first shop
of its kind, nor the only one, but it had
larger quarters than the others and
magicians who were not working always
met at Martinka's on Saturday night.
There various things would be discussed,
and one night the suggestion was made
that the magicians unite in an organiza-
ton. The Society of American Magicians
was the result. Itis the oldest organiza-
- ~, Ill
the famous magicians for the last 80
years have been members.
The society was founded to help magi-
clans and their art, and its word Is
regarded as final in any question that
might arise concerning magic itself. It
has always fought to prevent the secrets
