BOMBAY MEETINGS BANNED.
Nationalist Gatherings Outlawed as Re-
suit of Decree.

BOMBAY, January II [R1-All meet
lngS Of groups of more than five persons
were prohibited today by new special
ordinance promulgated by the govern
ment and directed against the civil dis
obediance campaign. The new ordinance
automatically outlaws all Nationalist
gatherings.
Their activities In other directions
paralyzed by the government ordi-
nances, the Nationalists today estab-
lished what they call nucleus paral-
lei government" by inaugurating an
independent postal service between
Bombay and outlying points.
If this is successful. they said, the
service will be extended all over India
and letters will be carried at half gov
ernment rates.
Will Withdraw Deposits.
At the same time the Nationalist
War Council announced it would en-
gage in an intensive countrywide cam
paign to persuade Indians to withdraw
their postal savings and bank deposits
from government institutions, trans
ferring them to Indian banks. This,
if successful, undoubtedly would divert
from government use millions Of rupees.
More than 100 prominent business
men of Bombay were invited by Sir
Frederick Sykes, the Governor, to meet
with him Ito discuss the present po-
litical situation" 1t was assumed this
discussion would have particular ref
erence to the campaign of the Ma
tionalists for boycott against British
goods.
The League of Nations established a
branch here today to strengthen rela-
lions between India and the League.
The Indian bureau will be in charge of
A. c. Chatterjee, former Indian jour-
nalist, who will keep the Indian public
advised about the Leagues progress,
policies and aims.
Protest Gandhi's Arrest.
The Cotton Brokers Association unan-
imouSly adopted a resolution protesting
against Mahatma Gandhi's arrest, which
they described as IAN insult to the
whole of India" Members of the asso-
citation we're urged to discourage the use
and trade in foreign goods and to ex-
clude completely all goods from such
countries as oppose Indian aspirations.
They were asked to invest their
money in India for the benefit of local
industries and to discourage the export
of gold and hold their money in that
metal as the best way of preserving the
country's wealth.
The resolution called Gandhi "the
idol of the whole nations devotion and
love"

Resiuning Ambassador Hope
for Leading Party, Possibly

BY OWEN L. SCOTT.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, January IL. Despite
cryptic denials of any present polltical
ambition, Illinois Republican leaders
continued today to draw picture OF
Gen. Charles Gates Dawes, former wee
President and reSigning Ambassador 10
Great Britain, as a political Moses WHO
can lead his party from the wilderness.
The general now finds himself sought
out. as possible candidate for the
Republican gubernatorial nomination IN
this State to bring order out OF poltlcai
chaos. 1t is suggested that ne mlghI
be the man to run for the Unlteo States
Senate. and some OF his trlendS are
suggesting that the Republican. party
should again place the Chicago banker
on its ticket as vice presidential canol-
date.
Presidential Discussion.
But most of the clamor, aroused right
after his announcement on last flloay
of his resignation as Ambassador, con-
tinues to be for Dawes as a seeker after
the Republican presidential nomlna-
ton. Many party leaders would IKE
permission to enter his name in the
illinois presidential primary next April,
but the generals response still IS:
."Indt all QdIlIi loiAociIoS' 1AN
nothing to it and 1 won't even dis
cuss it." -,
StiIl, the politicians point out that if
he were wholly unreceptive Gen.
Dawes would have made a ringing dec
laration asking Illinois Republicans to
get behind Herbert Hoover for renoml-
nation. Instead, he has maintained ST.
lence on that phase of the situation.
There is no doubt that the Chicago
bank leader resigned his ambassador
ship in order to re-enter active busl-
ness. His bank, the Central Trust Co,
last Summer took over the National
Bank of the Republic, creating the
Central Republic Bank & Trust Co., a
$3.50 100000 institution.
Business.
AS a consequence, the Dawes leader
ship has been sought, and now he says:
"I am coming home to take care OF
my business, as every good American
should do"
Ruth Hanna Mccormick, former Con-
gresswoman at large from Illinois and
a political factor in Republican coun-
ellis of the State, is leading the unoffi-
cial boom for Dawes. Her Rockford
papers, which last week said that re-
nomination should be denied President
Hoover, Saturday declared editorialiy:
Dawes is big enough, unselfiSh
enough, imaginative enough, eXpe-
rienced enough. BY his resignation he
becomes no more the servant of Presi-
dent Hoover than any other good Re-
publican or any other good American.
He becomes a free agent, and as such
he is subject to call. And that call is
not from Chicago or Illinois or the Re-
publican party-it is the voice of Amer
ica's need"
After 10 days in Chicago Gen.
Dawes will return to Washington and
then will sail for Europe to head the
American delegation to the Disarma-
ment Conference. He will come back
to Chicago in March to re-enter the
banking field.

WALKERS CHARGES
DENIED BY LAMONT.
Disputes Excessive Bank In
terest and Attempts to
Dictate Terms.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January 11.-Apparent-
ly speaking for bankers generally,
Thomas W. Lamont of the j. P. Nor
gan Co. last night denied New York
bankers have attempted to dictate terms
upon which city securities would be
flosted, or that they have exacted ex-
cessive interest rates.
Intimation to this effect was made by
Mayor Walker in telegram Friday
night to United States Senator Royal
S. Copeland, in which he urged that
the Federal Government extend imam
cial aid to cities.
The mayor said the banks were hold
ing municipalities in financial
straitjacket." Though he did not
name New York City, the inference was
drawn that he had reference to his own
city
Lamont said, however, that 1t was
hardly possible" the mayor had New
York banks in mind lin his declara-
ton that the country's banks have been
homeopathic"
City Finances Studied.
He added that New York banks nave
undertaken a study of the city's, finances
at the specific suggestion of the con-
troller and with the Endorsement Of the
mayor. He denied emphatically that
any concrete suggestions have been
made by bankers as to possible measures
of economy or curtailment that might
be undertaken by th.e city"
ANY public report" said Lamont, "to
the effect that members Of the banking
group have stipulated a change in the
city's subway fare or in the city's social
and charitable services is wholly with
out foundation"
He added that II retrenchment is
found to be necessary lit will be for the
city administration to determine what
retrenchments can best be made"
Needs Called Great.
Pointing out that the city has s140,-
100000 in short-term Indebtedness
outstanding, Lamont said the city's
additional requirements for capital eX-
penditures and budget were great.
Mayor Walker and his associates
undoubtedly realize" he said, that
New York City, like the national and
other large governmental bodies and
private corporations, must undertake
measures of strict economy and, espe-
cially in these times, must proceed on
more restrained and orderly develop
ment of its construction programs.

RICHARD BARTHELMESS IN "ALIAS THE DOCTOR" CLOSING
 TONIGHT AT THE STATE

"Alias The Doctor" a powerful story starring Richard Barthel- mess, closes it's engagement at the Warner State tonight. It is the adaptation of an Hungarian stage play and one of the best vehicles Barthelmess has ever had. Shar- ing honors with him are Marian Marsh, Adrienne Dore, Norman Foster, John St Polls, George Rosener and others.
 The treatment is intensely dra- matic. The scenes are skilfully worked up from one high point to another until the final smashing climax which is full of suspense and gripping power.
 Lighter moments relieve the ten- sion and strengthen the success sion of highly dramatic situations.
 It is a splendid production, cap- ably acted in all roles, well direct ed by Michael Curtis, and is almost kaleidoscopic in it's scenic changes. It shows in rapid succession Ba- varian farm, university class rooms, students quarters, campus students drinking places, etc, a prison, Vienna at night and the city's great sanatorium where Karl becomes the leading surgeon.
 As an added attraction the man agement presents Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in their latest comedy hit '"The Music Box"

ing room, a tiny dressing room that was all mirrors and a bath with a sunken tub. Her travelling case had ben unpacked and put away as though she were to spend weeks here instead of one night. On the dressing table lay her fa- miliar brushes. Lying across the bed were the pale peach pajamas and a negligee, overlapping the sil- yer mules on the floor.
 I'm sorry you'll have to do with out a maid" Steven told her.
 "Do you realize, Steven that I've never had a maid in my life ?"
 He had seated himself in her golden living room. She knew he meant that she should sit beside him, but she was too restless to do anything except stand. She moved about nervously in a state of ex- citement which she tried to con- ceal.
 Steven knew that she was not at ease and asked if he should leave her for awhile. She understood that he thought she was near tears from homesickness and the strange ness of it all.
 No, don't go away" she told him. Let's go some where and dance and dance and dance!"
 She saw that he was disap- pointed but she could not help it. 1t was only II o'clock. She was remembering that at Dreamland she had often danced until nearly dawn.
 Steven suggested a popular supp per club.
 "I'm sorry about the Country Club" he said apologetically "You'd like it much better there, but Tim afraid we'd see people I know and we must wait until later. Anyhow, you want to dance and dance and dance"
 T do," she said again.
 Ellen was disappointed with the supper club. Steven had wanted a private room. She yielded to his wishes although she really wished to be with the gay and rowdy crowd outside.
 Presently the manager brought champagne in a bucket of cracked ice. Ellen had never tasted it be- fore and Steven watched amusedly as she lifted the pale, amber liquid to her lips. He made a wry face at his first sip and left the re- mainder of the glass unfinished. But Ellen thought the champagne delicious.
 Her troubles began to lose sub- stance and she became really gay. Steven was so accustomed to wo- men who were practiced drinkers that he thought her gayety spon- taneous and was glad they had come to dance.
 After a while when he was called away to the telephone Ellen poured a great deal of champagne for her. self and drank it. She knew she was atempting to escape reality and that she must keep that knowl- edge from Steven. But the impor- tant thing was to escape! When he returned, worried frown between his eyes. and told her that Symes had called the house again it did not seem important or even inter- esting.

BARBARA STANWYCK IN
 "SHOPWORN" AND HOTEL CONTINENTAL'A AT STATE WED

Barbara Stanwyck heads a double feature program at War ners' State tomorrow in her newest picture "Shopworn" which relates the story of girl who put herself on the bargain counter because de- cency didn't pay. She had always wanted to be decent-had always held herself apart from the com- mon people she necessarily had to associate with-and then came the surprising moment when people who. represented all that she thought was fine and decent tried to buy her off. Falsely ac- cusing her, they offered her money to leave town.
 You" she cried as she flung the money back, "You - the nice decent people-are the real cheap ones-trying to put price on something that there can't be a price for. If that's decency, I'm glad I'm common
 So the mother who prided her self on her decency, separated her son and the common girl he loved for six years-six years of climbing to dizzy heights of fame for the girl-but the day comes when she takes lesson in decency from the girl she despised.
 "Shopworn" is an original story by Sarah Y. Mason, written es- pecially for Miss Stanwyck's emo- tional talents. Regis Toomey plays the hero and ZaSu Pitts, Lucien Littlefield, Clara Blandick, Oscar Apfel, Robert Alden and Maude Turner Gordon play other import ant roles.
 The companion feature is Hotel ContinentaT.
 Tiffany productions have center ed their hotel mystery drama about a famous old metropolitan hotel on the eve of the day it is to be given over to the wreckers. The plot cen- ters about a wallet that contains $100,000 and the interest of three different factions in the recovery of the wallet.
 Peggy shannon, in the role of the confidence" girl. and Theodore von Eltz, as the ex-convict, are ex- cellent. They are ably supported by J. Farrell Macdonald, Henry B. Walthali, Ethel Clayton, Rock life Fellowes and Bert Roach.

"PolIy of the Circus" and
 "Shc Wanted Millionaire"
 On Program at Strand Now

There is entertainment for every member of the family in Polly of the Circus now heading a double feature program at Warner Brothers Strand.
 Everybody loves the circus and there is the most thrilling view of flying trapeze acts you ever wit messed right at the very start. In the spectacular climax, other ex- citing circus scenes are to be seen and throughout the picture there is a glamour and color aimed to delight all ages. The romance is charming in simplicity and to those filmgoers, jRded from reels of ultra sophisticated dialogue, the story will be refreshing to See and hear.
 Alfred Santell directed the fea- ture with the thorough under standing that marked his recent Daddy Long Legs" He has given the picture Q beautiful setting and in the handling of the love theme his camera technique never allows the action to lag for an instant.
 Clark Gable plays opposite the star in the picturization of the Margaret Mayo play, offering an engaging characterization as the small-town minister who falls in love with the jazz-hearted circus girl.
 Others in the impressive sup porting cast are c. Aubrey Smith. Raymond Hatton, David Landau. Ruth Selwyn, Maude Eburne. Little Billy. Quinn Williams, Clark Marshall, Ray Midland and Lillian Elliott.
 The companion feature is "She Wanted a Millionaire" with Joan Bennett, Spencer Tracy and big cast. It is story about the win- ner of the annual beauty contest at Atlantic City and the ensuing events in her life that almost cost her life. It is different and ab- sorbing entertainment.
