BOONVILLE ‘POT
OF GOLD' TRIAL
IS NEAR CLOSE
Many Persons Have Dug for
Treasure on Farm,
Court Is Told.
By 7 iitir> ,'prrinl
BOONVILLE, Ind., March 17
Testimony that the legend of a
buried pot of gold led many peo
ple to dig for the treasure near the
Daviess county farm home of a de
ceased pioneer woman, was given in
the Warrick circuit court today as
relatives of the womn neared con
clusion of their court battle for pos
session of the mythical fortune.
Thomas White, 86, son of the de
ceased farm woman, is suing his
nephews, Quill White. Frank and
Leo Raney and Owen Fitzgerald, all
of Daviess county, for a share of the
estate reputedly worth $21,000.
The nephews, he charged, discov
ered the burial place of the gold
filled pot in 1930, but later declined
to divide its contents, according to
wxitten instructions of the dead
woman.
Defendants claim that White, be
cause of his age, "dreamed” his
mother left the sum. The story i$
fictitious, they aver.
It was expected last of the de
fense evidence will not be com
pleted until Saturday.
AZTEC MEDICAL WORK
WILL BE TRANSLATED
Treatise Will Add Much to History
of Latin America, Is Belief.
/'v Science Sirtice
BALTIMORE, March 17.—A man
uscript which is the only known
complete Aztec herbal (or treatise
on medical botany) that was writ
ten by the Indians themselves is
bring translated and edited at the
Johns Hopkins university by Dr.
Emily Walcott Emmart.
Other existing volumes dealing
with Aztec medical knowledge were
written by Europeans from the point
of view of the European, Dr. Em
mart says. This Aztec-written her
bal, known as the Badiano manu
script. will undoubtedly add an in
teresting chapter to the history of
medicine of Latin America—a sub
ject of which all too little is known,
she believes.
This herbal deals with the med
ical cures used by the Aztecs within
fifty years of the conquest. Like
most hcrbals it gives information of
medical practices not only at the
time when it was written but also of
previously existing doctrines reach- J
ing far into earlier times.

White Is Living Model of
Poor Boy Who Made Good
Mercedes and Mile. Stantone Open Today On Circle Stage
“Red Dust” Is Again On View on Palace Screen.
EVERY schoolboy in the land remembers vividly the story of the poor
boy of Horatio Alger Jr., novel fame who was a newsboy or a
messenger boy and went from rags to riches by dint of hard work,' perse
i verence and stick-to-it-ive-ness.
A splendid model of that Alger boy always held up as an example
whereby a poor lad can climb the ladder of success can be found in the
I fife of George White, the foremost American musical revue producer of
today.
George White started at the bottom rung as a messenger boy whose
hours in the days when he delivered messages were long and the tips
scanty and meager in proportion.
Young White even showed his ambi
tions thee as well as displaying a
hash of the talent which decided a
jstage career for him.
On his delivery rounds there were
j places w'here music was a part of
i the daily entertainment of the men
j and women who dropped in for a
j bite and a bit of libation. The music
! always thrilled the youthful mes
senger boy to such an extent he
couldn’t keep his feet still. They
seemed to move in perfect time and
rhythm with George improving in
skill and routine as time went on.
He became so clever, graceful and
skillful that his dancing soon col
j lectcd a crowd and involuntarily the
| pennies and nickels would be tossed
| on the floor with White the richer
! thereby.
White saw the advantage of
j learning to dance differently from
others by creating his own steps.
White became a vaudeville head
finer and from the variety stage he
went into the musical shows. While
he received a handsome stipend for
his work he had a yen for produc
ing. An opportunity came when a
big booking circuit wanted a big
musical revue as a competitive pro
position to an opposing system
which more or less had the Broad
way field to itself. George White as
a producer was a success from the
start.
His knowledge of the stage as well
as knowing what the audiences
wanted, made it easy to lay out the
type of whily-girly, fast-moving
musical revues which have made
White famous as the producer of his
line of “Scandals” shows.
White has shown daring, judg
ment and ingenuity in the produc
ing of his shows which have en
abled him to turn out one success
after another.
It is an amazing story; a story
that can be proved every foot of the !
way wherein George White went j
from a poor boy status to one of !
the highest niches in Broadway
fame, namely that as its foremost
musical show producer.
On the screen will be Douglas 1
Fairbanks Jr., in "The Parachute 1
Jumper.”

But before he can even mention
the latter’s name, Miss Carroll, in
desperation, has hit him over the
head with the nearest object—a
bronze figurine. Horrified, she finds
she has killed him.
With Grant, she flees aboard an
ocean vessel on a week-end “cruise

the slain man, follows, and attempts
■to secure evidence incriminating
her. He is almost successful, but

her of all guilt and carries her off
