tadianayolis. VIOLATION OF fEDERAL LAW Indianapolis, Aug. 20. Motion picture Wms of the Dempsey-Sharkey prise fight, Jnly 22, at New York, were seised by Federal authorities yesterday and B. M.

Steam, Bald to be the agent for the film, was arrested charged with violating the Federal law prohibiting interstate transportation ot prize fight films. 8tearn was held last night at the Marion county Jail in default of bond. When Informed of the seizure of the reels the management or the Colonial theatre, where the films were to be shown next week, said that the picture would be on the pro- mm as fcfcfft been advertised. "Fed eral authorities said they had the I films in their possession antf that they would not be shown at the theatre. Theatre officials refused to say whether they have duplicate films or expect to regain jtbbse confiscated.

Had Special Showing. The confiscation of the prise fight films followed a special showing to newspaper men ahd others following the regnlsr program at the Col onial theatre Thursday night Federal authorities heard that they were to be exhibited publicly and attended the showing. Steam's arrest and the seizure of the films followed. In a hearing before a united States commissioner Steam refused to tell where the films came from or how he obtained possession of them. He was bound over to the grand Jury.

Persons connected with other thea tres in the city said that a scheme was worked in other cities whereby the smuggler ot the films crosses the state lines sold the reels to an other party and that a duplicate set of films was made from original. In this way, it was said, theatrical companies evaded Federal law by allowing tbe seizure ot the original films and showing the duplicates, made in the state in which they were exhibited. Federat authorities said ttey knew nothing of a dapUcata tllxn, but that If any pictures of the light are shown at the Colonial theatre, they probably will order the exhibition stopped. U. s.

Sydney. David White, middle-aged Sydney business man. awoke ons morning to find himself belr to over 1.230,000 in cash and $10,000,000 worth ot real estate, 1 fortune amassed by hi uncle In diamond deal ing in South Africa.

Behind the inheritance Is a story revealing bleak depths Of human bit terness and suffering. It goes back to the middle of the last century, when Solomon Whelnsky was a fur dealer at Nlsbnl-Novgorod In Russia. Solomon revolted against the exorbi tant demands of the cxarlst taxgatb- erer. Bis brother, a partner In the business, disappeared mysteriously Into the mines of Siberia. Solomon Whelnsky and two sisters (led.

They suffered bitterly from cold and hunger before they reached Riga, whence they got aboard a smuggler' schooner and were taken to Amster dam, whence Solomon went to London and his two sisters to the United States. Solomon Whelnsky settled In Whlte- chapel In 1852 and became a "kosher" bntcher. He married a Russian girl and changed his name to White lie had two sons, Abel and Aaron. Aaron married outside his faith, and so long was the continuance of bitter ness that Abel's son, David, decided to start life afresh la Australia. Meantime Aaron White had gone to South Africa, where he Joined the group of men about Cecil Rhodes, the uncrowned king of South Africa for the last fifteen years of the last een tury.

It was there that the fortune which has fallen to David White was amassed. Aaron White traded In diamonds, nnd he emerged from the welter of those frightful days a wealthy man. He employed his money in speculation and grew richer. Submarine Detector to Be Used on Yeggs New York. A new barrier has been placed between the bank robber nnd his swag as a result of research by the engineers ot the Bell laboratories here.

Already learned In the ways of cons, nlgiit watchmen nnd the miles of wire incidental to the usual elec tric alarm system, the robber 'may now find himself up against a new signal device invisible from the out side yet capable of calling a squad of armed guards upon him as he works. In fact, the safe-blower now works under war-time conditions for the new alarm is tounded on the Type Inertia microphone developed In the laboratories during the war for submarine detection. This nlnrni consists of a microphone capable of detecting the most minute vibrations of the walls of a safe. It has already been Installed In several banks here and in Philadelphia. The microphone will not pick up sound waves.

The stimulus Is received mechanically rather than acoustically. But the slightest jar will be sufficient to set in motion an electric current to the main ofllce, where both audible and visible signals will be received. Such devices have been conceived before. But heretofore they have transmitted vibrations and even sounds- from outside. Thus, guards have been summoned when merely a heavy truck was rumbling by or when street conversation grew gufnciently loud.
