S|LVERMAN CASE
INDICTMENT IS HIT
Defense Attorneys Contend
Facts Do Not Constitute
Violation as Charged.

Justice Peyton Gordon of District
Court had under advisement today a
demurrer to the indictment returned
more than a year ago charging dis
missed Army general. former men,
ber of Congress and Joseph Silver
man, jr., and his brother Nathan with
conspiring to defraud the Government.
Attorneys for the four men verbally
attacked the indictment at length in
court yesterday afternoon, contend
ing the facts alleged do not consti-
tute a violation of the statute under
which the defendants are charged.
The true bill specifies that they con-
spired to prevent Frank E. Speicher
from testifying before the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee during its in
vestigation of alleged War Department
lobbying
The Silvermans were surplus war
goods dealers and had numerous trans
actions with War Department officials.
Another of the defendants. Thomas
]. Ryan, former member of Congress
from New York, was their attorney,
while the fourth accused was Brig
Gen. Alexander E. Williams, one-time
acting quartermaster general Of the
Army.
Seeking to convince the court the
indictment should be voided, Attor-
ney Frank Swacker of New York con-
tended no facts were alleged which
would support the conclusion there
was the deceit and chicanery neces-
sary to constitute fraud on the Gov
-ernment.
The picture drawn in the indict-
ment might well support a charge that
an obstruction was placed in the path
of the investigating committee, but
in no sense amounts to the offenSe
alleged, he argued.
Assistant United States Attorney
Irwin Goldstein, who will retire as a
prosecutor February Is, defended the
validity of the indictment.
Following the hearing. Nathan Sill
verman issued a statement denying
that he or his brother had attempted
to keep Speicher away from the House
committee, and insisting that they
helped the committee in every way
possible.

A "Noah's Ark" of American wild
animals will leave the Zoo here for
the East Indies this afternoon in order
that DR.. William M. Mann, Zoo direc-
tor and leader of a collecting expedi-
ton to Sumatra, may give, as well as
receive, geological specimens.
DR.. and Mrs. Mann and DR.. May
nard Owen Williams, staff representa-
tive of the National Geographic So
ciety, already have arrived in Japan
on their way to Sumatra.
Alligators Included.
The "Noah's Ark" contains 10 alli-
gators, 2 jaguars, 2 mountain lions, 3
'possums, 2 raccoons, 2 black bears
and hellbenders. Like the animals
and female of each kind.
Acting in the role of Noah will be
Roy Jennier and Malcolm Davis,
keepers from the Washington Zoo.
They are provisioned for a long voy-
age.
The ARK" which in this case will
be the Dutch motorship Talisse. will
sail from New York tomorrow, and
will take 40 days to reach Belawan-
Deli, Sumatra, by way Of the Cape
Of Good Hope.
The alligators are expected to doze
most Of the way, especially if the
weather is fairly cool. Like all cold
blooded creatures, the alligators' vital
functions almost cease If they are
kept little chilly.
All Used to Cages.
The two jaguars we're born in the
zoo here 18 months ago. All the ami
mails have spent all or most of their
lives in captivity.
The 'possum will be a rarity in
the Far East, Sumatra and the near
by mainland Of Asia, for there are no
marsupials, animals which carry their
young in a pouch, in that region.
The nearest are the kangaroos and
their cousins in Australia.
The Orient has crocodiles and the
long-snouted gavial, but no alliga-
tors, except in China, and that is q
different species. There are bears,
but none like the American black
bear. Some scientists believe the
raccoon is a very distant relative Of
Asias famous giant panda.
The animals will travel to New
York in an express car. attached to

Figure. poise, grace of movement,

2. Nose-25 per cent.

Of the best models ever had-I
wouldn't have given her per cent on
any feature she had. Individually
they were all bad; taken together they
made striking beauty. She's in the

Few remain long as models, O'Neill
said. They try Hollywood or drift
away to other channels of life-al-
though they may earn as much as $25

NEW YORK, February 9.-The
dazzle-eyed girl on the magazine cover
didn't get there because of her eyes.
It's the nose-pert, aristocratic.
classic or "teasy"-that counts most
of any single feature in the struggle
to reach the top among America s
highest-paid photo models.
Arthur O'Neill. New York photog-
rapher of magazine cover girls, voiced
that dictum today in announcing the
names of four "repeaters" on the 1887
"all-America beauty model" team
selected from literally thousands Of
hopefuls streaming into New York
annually from every section of the
country.
Quartet Is Listed.
The quartet, as listed by ONeill,

Frances Joyce of Scranton, Pa. the
ideal evening gown girl"
Only these four repeated from last
years selections. Eighteen others
have either married, gone to Holly
wood to seek fame in the movies, or
dropped from sight.
About so girls a week come into
O'Neill's studio, wanting to be models.
"And some of them are knockouts-
to the naked eye-but not to the
camera. I'm lucky if can use one
in a hundred" he said.
1T isn't surface beauty that counts.
