WORLD DRY FIGHT
TO COST MILLIONS
(Continued From Page One.)
so national prohibition can not be
enforced so long as there Is surround
ing wet territory,” said Cherrlngton.
“The Anti-Saloon league Is the dom
inant factor in the World League
Against Alcoholism. It has the larg
est number of workers and the larg
est treasury. In addition to the larg
est facilities for gathering funds.
Therefore, It must bear the greatest
burden In bringing about world-wide
prohibition.’’
The cost of the first five years of
the campaign for universal prohibi
tion will be approximately $37,000,-
000, according to the World league’s
budget Most of this money will be
spent in certain “key countries,”
where the league already has a
stronghold. The British empire Is
the first point of attack, according to
Cherrington.
AFRICANS ASK
U. S. BUYS’ AID.
“Canada is dry now," he said. “We
will open campaigns In Scotland,
South Africa and Australia. Scotland
Is vastly Interested In prohibition,
•while South Africa has repeatedly
asked our assistance. With these
tries dry -we will be able, we
hope, to force parliament to make the
whole United Kingdom dry.”
The key to the orient is Japan, the
league holds, and hence will spend
545.000 in Japan in 1920 and a much
larger amount in 1921 and the follow
ing three years to convert the A’ip
ponese to prohibition.
“The people of the United States
must be made to understand that the
dry amendment was only one big
step,’’ Cherrington declared. “Our
friends, I am glad to say, are rapidly
accepting this new and wider view
point.’’
The Anti-Saloon league has no in
terests save those of prohibition,
Cherrington insists.
“We have never raised our voices
agajnst tobacco,” he declared. “It
has never been mentioned In our con
ferences. The rumor that the league
planned a campaign against the
aret was started by over-zealous pro
hiibtlonists.”
LITTLE THEATER
PREPARES BILL
OF FOUR PLAYS
Japanese Play in Which Wash
ington Square Players
Scored on Program.
The Little Theater society will present
four one-act pieces Friday nigfct at Ma
sonic temple, including a romantic trag
edy, a satire, a melodrama and a study
In psychology. s
“Bushido,” from the Japanese of Ta
keda Isuma, is a revival of one of the
most notable successes of the Washing
ton square players, secured for that or
ganization by George Somnes, director of
the Little Theater society, who, now
gives it his own interpretation.
While in London with Ben Greet, Mr.
Somnes found a German translation of
the play in an old bookshop and was so
impressed with its possibilities that he
brought it bscsk to New’ York and ob
tained it for i*’e hearing which attracted
so much attention from the public.
SCENE LAID IN
JAPANESE SCHOOL.
Its scene is a Japanese school, where
a young prince, outlawed by the reign
ing dynasty, is harbored—incognito. His
presence there is discovered by the au
thorities, who demand his head. How his
life is saved by the very one commis
sioned to take It is told with pathos.
The other plays are new to the stage.
“Woman’s Honor,” by Susan Glaspell,
author of “Trifles” and “Suppressed De
sires,” is a satire, bordering upon farce,
having for butt the exaggerated use
made on the stage of man’s pseudo-heroic
pose in matters concerning the repute of
women with whom he has been asso
ciated, as well as woman's foible for
lionizing prisoners. The stage set for
this piece is said to be especially novel
and illustrative of its satiric tone.
DRAMA OF KENTUCKY
HILLS ON PROGRAM.
"Moonshine,” by Arthur* Hopkins, pro
ducer of “The Poor Little Rich Girl.”
‘‘The Jest” and other New York suc
cesses, is a tense little two-character
scene in the Kentucky mountains -be
tween a moonshiner and a revenue agent,
in which the latter gets the best of a
duel of wits which momentarily threatens
his life. The denouement shows its
author’s adherence to the formula that
a one-act play should carry its solution
in the last line.
“Unspoken,” by Clarence Stratton, em
bodies anew formula to the extent of
telling the audience what the characters
are thinking while they remain slinet.
A husband and ‘ wife, estranged, are
seated together before their library fire,
their secret reflections upon the situation
being revealed from off-stage.
The first of a group of dances for
Little theater players will be given at
4t\e residence of Miss Eidena Lauter, 612
East Thirteenth street, this evening, be
ing a masquerade in which ail will ap
pear in costumes of characters-they have
personated.

HIL Jay .Olive Robert y Barton
THE LAND O' LOST THINGS.
T) LOP4 The twins landed with a bump. When they had blinked their
A eyes a minute to sort of get their senses, they saw they were in a
strange country,"but they rather suspected where it was. It was this way.
When the children had talked to the funny little man in the woods about
the Land o’ Lost Things, % all they said was, “Oh, don’t you wish we were
there!” And there they were, quick as a wink. It’s no secret that the
magical mushroom heard them, and told the kind green shoes to get busy.
“Which way do you wish to go?” asked a voice, suddenly, beside them.
“I’m the crossing And Nick nearly fell over when he recog
nized a whistle he had lost. The whistle, too, seemed surprised to see
them.
“We don’t know,” answered Nancy. “We just came. We are hunting
for Jocko. Do you know if he’s here?"
A cute little car rolled up, with pennies for wheels, and a dignified
tin soldier jumped out and opened the door.
I can t say, 1, replied the whistle. “Things only come here when they
are really lost and nevsr to be found.”
“Are we lost and never to be found?” asked Nick, anxiously.
“Humans are different!” answered the whistle. “But I’ll call a taxi
and send you to the palace, where you may Inquire.” And the whistle blew
a shrill blast. '
Right away a cute little car rolled up, with pennies for wheels. And
who should be driving It, fcut a soldier, who jumped out and
opened the door.
Nancy got in first and Nick was about to follow, when he suddenly
stopped. The tin soldier seemed very familiar.
Then Nick laughed. “Why, I lost you down a crack in the board walk
last summer, didn’t I?” he cried. “You’re Gen. Pershing!”
“At your service,” said the tin soldier, saluting grandly. “I waited
six months to be found, then came here. hope the army is well.”
“Pretty well,” Bald Nick, doubtfully, “but there’s only two left. ' I’ll
tell you about it again. We have to hurry.’' Then he climbed into the
cab and Gen. Pershing shut the door.—Copyright, 1920-

REAL ESTATE
GOSSIP
By ‘AL• EVANS
Larry Price is some specialist in
•‘burnt wood!’ but he made the deal.
Bowman Elder says he Is going to set
the clock back one hour to accommodate
the entertainment committee.
You stays a-wnys missed something
real meaty Wednesday. That talk was
worthy cf Worthington and a larger at
tendance.
Our local real estate men should pat
tern their advertising after’’the Terre
Haute Realtors. They have a live board
and they let Miss General Public know
who arc the real realtors. If they haven’t
a piece of property to list they use
several Inches, of display space for board
and personal publicity.
Well, let’s hear some more in regards
to the street car rerouting. We can use
some of that from the results obtained
from the present system.
Ignorance may be blissful, but there Is
no excuse for n newspaper man not know
ing where Highland drive Is located. Ask
Wright, he knows—now.
That Union Trust Company bunch is
100 per cent pure—realtors.
We wonder If the B. A. in front of
Worthington stands for “Be Active." My
—where couldn’t Indianapolis get to if
we had a few more real boosters of his
type?
One Robbln does not make a Spring,
but we khow of one who took a fall out
of Irvington Wednesday.
If that chap In the Lemcke building
ever puts another “O” In bis name Judge
Orblson will get busy with him.
Somebody pinched a standard make of
small car from Temp, Beech Grove
Franklin; Hueber’s Grove; Suburban
Fowler and several others. It pays to
walk.
George Lucas reports the following
sale: Fifty-seven and one-half acres
from Fred Shilling to Virgil S. Brohaw
located in Perry township just south of
Beech trove. Highly Improved farm
with eight-room house, large barn, cow
barn, garage and several good outbuild
ings. The price was $275 per acre, or a
total consideration of $15,812.50. Posses
sion on March 1.
I wonder If George is still talking hard
times and the poor house. He has made
several good deals this month. '
Earl Bullock has received a copy of
the Michigan state law licensing real es
tate men. This will be discussed at the
meeting of the board of. governors of
the Indiana Real Estate association to
be held at the Claypool hotel Wednesday
noon.
We never knew how important our real
estate men were until wo changed our
luncheon day. Most of the fellows had
some change to make and said that It
would take them some time in order to
arrange their affairs.

Real Estate Queries
Conducted by the Real Estate Editor of
Tho Times.
Readers of The Times often have questions regarding real estate and matter*
pertaining thereto which puzzle them. To be of greatest service to Its readers abd
help them solve their difficulties in this line The Times has established a depart
ment for just sucb questions. Questions should be addressed to the Real Es
tate Editor, care Indiana Daily Time*.
I have listed a house for sale with
a real estate brokerage firm. The
agent asked me my price and I told
him $6,500 and agreed to pay him
the 5 per cent commission.
A few days ago I went out to the
house to see about some fixtures.
While there I met two people who
called to look the place over, but
they mistook me for a prospective
buyer. They told me that the real
estate firm told them that the owner
was holding the place at $7,200.
Can the real estate firm be sued for
pocketing the additional S7OO, plus
the 5 per cent commission? Has the
owner any recourse against such a
practice? Can they be proceeded
against for obtaining money under
false pretenses?
ANXIOUS HOME OWNER.
You have not made your question clear
enough to answer It definitely. The
agent could buy the property in liis own
name and resell it. I don’t believe you
have any recourse. If you gave an
option for SG,oOO, less the 5 per cent
commission, and the agent could get
$7,200 for the property, he Is entitled
to It for the attempt. If you had signed
a net option for the $0,500, he can sell
the property for as much as he likes.
As long as he gives you the amount he
agreed to T don't think thfft you have
any recourse.

cause I feel out of sympathy with the
anti-radical policies of Mr. Palmer and
his methods of carrying them out.”
GIVE TALMER
CHANCE TO APPEAR.
Palmer was to be given anotler op
portunity to appear before thy house
rules committee to explain
of front” on the Sterling-Graham sedi
tion bills sevferal of its members accused
him of.
Palmer denied he had “gotten a plain
case of cold feet” on the bills, as
charged by Representative Kodenberg
republican of Illinois.
“They have gotten me wrong at the
capital,” he said. “Neither the Sterling
nor the Graham bills are my bills. The
hill I drew up and favored was the Davey
bill.”
Members of both the senate and house
said they were deeply interested in the
letter of iesighatlon Francis Fisher Kane
sent to Palmer, in which he stated:
“It seems to me that the policy of
raids against large numbers of indi
viduals Is generally unwise and very apt
to result In Injustice. People not really
guilty are likely to be arrested and rail
roaded through their hearings. The ma
chinery of the government breaks down
because of the strain put upon it and
undue hardships and injustice are sure
to result.”
WANT BOTH
TO APPEAR.
The suggestion was made by senators
and representatives who read the cor
respondence between Palmer and Kane
that “considerable light might be* shed
on the workings of the attorney general’s
office and the department of justice,” If
both of them were to appear before
a congressional investigating com
mittee.
Representative Campbell, republican of
Kansas, chairman of the house rules
committee, expressed doubt today If it
had sufficient authority to compel Palmer
to appear before it. He expressed the
hope that Palmer would appear of his
own accord before it completed its hear
ing*.
Baby Shoe Prices
Move Toward Sky
BOSTON, Jan. 24.—“ Baby needs new
shoes" is a common prayer at games of
chance, when the devotees wish to make
an especially urgent appeal to fortune,
but Daddy will have to hold more “natu
rals” or the stakes be higher when he
wins if his offspring is to be properly
shod, for the prices are higher. Baby
shoes have advanced 15 per cent In the
last three months, according to exhibi
tors of those articles at the shoe con
vention here.
New samples of shoes on exhibit will
retail from $1.75 to $7.50 a pair, the
exhibitors say. Hand embroidered and
gold leaf shoeß for baby are among
those shown.

FORGERY CASE
SET JAN. 20 IN
J. OF P. COURT
T
Man Charged With Passing
Worthless Paper Here, Re
turned from West.
V
CHASE LED TO PACIFIC
Charges of forgery against J. E. Small
ing, Jr., 24, will be heard In the court
of Justice of the Peace Louis Kiefer,
Jan. 30, the date having been agreed on
by attorneys for the defendant and the
state in court today. \
Wide interest in the case was aroused
when it was announced that Smaliing
had been arrested in the little town of
Bend, Deschutes county, Oregon, .Tan. 11,
after a pursuit that started in Indian
apolis Dec. 23. Smaliing is alleged to
have forged a check for S6OO, cashing It
at an Indianapolis bank.
The bank was protected by the Pinker
ton national detective agency and the
agency detectives traced Smaliing from
Indianapolis to Chicago, to Seattle and
south to Portland, and from there to
Bend. Detective Roy Teats of the In
dianapolis police department went to
Bend and brought Smaliing back to this
city, arriving here with his prisoner late
Friday.
EMPLOYED ix BOARD
OF TRADE BUILDING.
Smaliing, while in Indianapolis, lived
at 2724 Bellefemtalne street, and when
he left here he was accompanied by his
wife and six months’ old baby. The
young wife, after her husband's arrest,
told a Pinkerton detective that their
western trip was made possible by S6OO
paid her husband by the government for
military service. The detectives say the
S6OO was obtained on the check cashed
at the Indianapolis bank.
Smaliing was employed at an office in
the Board of Trade building here and
through his association with prominent
business men was able, it is said, to
cash the check without question. Smali
ing was in the military service as an
officer at Camp Grant during the war,
later holding a position In a Roanoke
(Va.) bank. /
The stamp used by the cashier of the
Roanoke bank to certify checks disap
peared, it is said, at t about the time
Smaliing left, and a 'number of the
bank's checks also were missing, the
detectives say. Later checks are said to
have been cashed In Marietta, Ga., bear
ing the certified stamp and these checks
detectives have branded as forgeries.
CHECK HERE ALSO
CARRIED STAMP.
The check cashed by the Indianapolis
bank also bore the certified stamp of
The Liberty National bank of Roanoke,
Va.
Smalllng's home is at Bristol, Pa. His
father is in Indianapolis, it is under
stood, to consult attorneys to assist in
defending his son. The arrest was made
on a warrant sworn -to in the court of
Louis Keifer because the grand Jury
was not in session and quick action was
desired as reports from Pinkerton men
in the west were that Smaliing was pre
paring to leave Bend.
Mrs Smaliing and her baby have gone
to the home of her sister in California,
where she will remain.

WOMAN AMDITS
VERDICT CHANGED
FOLLOWING TRIAL
Mrs. Strattan Has Different
Opinion of Medicines,
Since Using Trutona.
“I never used to think much of patent
medicines, but I’ve changed my mind
about one of them, at least, since I’ve
taken Trutona,” Mrs. Anna B. Strattan.
a well known Indianapolis woman, who
lives at 936 Woodlawn avenue, said re
cently. “I don’t believe a drug store
can bo complete without Trutona,” she
said.
“My kidneys and bladder were out of
! shape,” Mrs. Btrattan continued. “At
times my bladder would become full up
to the point of bursting. It seemed, and
yet there would be no action and I would
have the most terrible pains. Diz*v
spells came over me at times, so severe
I’d have to stop whatever I happened to
be doing and sit down for a while.
“Trutona absolutely entirely relieved
me of m.v kidney trouble. It not only
did that, but it has made my liver active
and cleansed my system of the worst
looking bIK you ever saw. Only a week
after I commenced using Trutona I be
gan to straighten up and felt mnch
stronger. Now, I’m feeling better than
I have for years. I would be glad If
every one In the United States could
know, as I know, whet Trntona will do
for them.”

the Hook chain of drug stores and 0. Ts.
