WOMEN MIX IN BITTER FIGHTS J AT CONVENTION Daughters of Champ Clark; and Woodrow Wilson Clash on Floor, By DOROTHY SHUMATE United Press Convention Correspondent MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, July 4.—The bitterness that has grown out of the fight in the Democratic convention included the women Thursday afternoon, when a row broke out in the Louisiana delegation Involving Genevieve Clark Thompson, daughter of the late Champ Clark; Antoinette Funk, a McAdoo worker, and finally Margaret Wilgon, daughter of the late President Wilson. Mrs. Funk charged down upon Louisiana to demand that Mrs. Thompson prove charges she was said to have made that McAdoo would be indicted on charges of violating 4. Federal statute in appearing before the Treasury Department only a short time after leaving office. “You hate McAdoo for personal reasons.” said Mrs. Funk. “Yes, I hate him. and we'll beat him,” replied the daughter of the late Speaker of the House. Mrs. Thompson said she had said nothing more than to quote a statement of Jim Reed in Kansas City. George Hurley, assistant attorney general of Rhode Island, mixed in the scrap and told Mrs. Funk she “really didn't feel as bitterly about the charges against McAdoo as she had expressed herself as feeling. **A typical masculine remark.” Mrs. Funk shot back. “How do you knew how I feel?” As the group broke up under pressure from officers on the floor. Margaret Wilson came down from a box nearby. Miss Wilson joined forces with Mrs. Funk. “I think it is terrible the way Mrs. Thompson Is attacking McAdoo,” she declared. Then as Mrs. Thompson moved from delegation to delegation fighting McAdoo, Mrs. Funk and Miss Wilson followed her, and pleaded the Californian's cause.

Bringing Home the Bacon From Shrine Circus Causes Change in Meat Menu

By WALTER D. HICKMAN OOT everyone who gees to the Shrine circus brings home the bacon. But I didSaid bacon, two boxes, rests cooly in my icebox. My appetite was all fixed up for ham, but bacon was thrust upon me after I had done my bit. You can’t satisfy everybody. A woman had three Kswpie dolls under her arm and she was not satisfied. She wanted a box of candy. I was the same way, not satisfied with bacon. I wanted ham. Bo I started out the day with a breakfast of bacon Instead of ham. And the bacon Is good. Generally at a circus I come home with a box cf crackerjack and a thirst for red lemonade. I discovered at the Shrine circus last night where the jazz band originated. Am not the wise bird, but when I looked into a den of rattlesnakes and heard two of them rattle off something that sounded like “Watch Your Step.” I decided right then and there that the first jazz band was played by a rattie The snake division of the Shrine circus has plenty of snakes, but no snake charmer. I guess that the snakes rattle too naturally. Am 6ure that the snakes present form an interesting collection. They rattle and look saucy. Don't care for them as pets. Cowboy Band Present Music is furnished by a cowboy band and many Shriners who call out their wares. The band plays during the circus and vaudeville acts and also act as a* musical Invitation * to the snake show. / I didn’t see all the acts because I got so excited getting hold of bacon. One act in particular is a woman trapeze and ring artist. She does a good spin with one foot hooked in a rope something. Another act is a wirs. walker who does a bunch of juggling stunts while on the wire. There are numerous other acts to keep the visitors most of the evening. The purpose of the Shrine circus is to increase the Shrine pilgrimage fund to Los Angeles next spring. The circus will be on view every night this week except Sunday and every night next week, under the Wg top at Kentucky Ave. and Weet St. Wish I was a ham owner instead of bacon filled. Who cjin tell, the next time I may come home with an automobile tire or a washboard. -!- -!• -!• JACK PTCKFORD DOES SOME FIGHTING IN NEW MOVIE Jack Pickford does some fighting in “The Hill Billy."

$250,000 IS SPENT BY TITLED PARENTS OF LAD IN BATTLE OVER BIRTHRIGHT

Geoffrey Russell Declared Heir to Baronetcy of Grandfather,

* By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Correspondent, f t"~'1 ONDON ' July 4 - —Geoffrey I Russell,' a sturdy, goodI ' I looking youngster of 3. playing with other youngsters in a London park, stands out from them because: 1. He is the most expensive baby In modern British, and perhaps, world history. 2. He is the central figure about whom has pivoted the most sensational and scandalous divorce case tried in modern times in London. 3. He is the full-established heir to the baronetcy of his grandfather, Lord Ampthill. a former viceroy of India and, therefore, if he lives, destined to be head of the great governing clan of the Russells. “I don’t know.” said Mrs. Christable Russell to me, whether I will shape his education with a view to putting him in the army as is usual with young men of good family or whether I will be an ultra-modern English mother and train him for business—despite his future title. Fortunately there's plenty of time to think about it. “The more pressing question is what I will do with my own future. For the past three years, at the same time that I have been fighting this case, I have also been conducting a very prosperous hat and gown business right in the heart of Mayfair. But now I have received a very tempting offer to go on the stage. “I can’t make up my mind. I have been fighting for so long that I am just a bit weary.” Here is the story in brief of that famous fight: In November. 1921, fashionable London was startled when it was learned that Hon. John Hugo Russell, eldest son and heir of Baron Ampthill. one of the proudest men in the House of Lords, had filed sut toS a dissolution of his marriage with Uhristabel Russell on the greund of misconduct with a man unknown, in consequence

duty of getting even with the murderer. “The Hill Billy” will be remembered for the mountain types. From a type standpoint this picture is strong. The mar, who plays the role of the clerk of the court does a splendid piece of work. The night scenes have been well handled This picture probably will appeal strongest to the youths of the land who like a good sefap. On the vaudeville part of the bill Brosires and Brown in a comedy bicycle offering secured most of the laughs. The clown in this act knows his business. A good laugh. The Fehnova Dancers open with an attempt to be classical and somewhat acrobatic. There must be a definite story to a classical ballet or dance. The story never develops In the opening numbef. The girls are pretty. The finale Is a pleasing Spanish or Argentine affair which is well done. Gold and Sunshine have a rather elaborate offering for an opening

This was in July, 1922, after a nine-day trial. In February, 1923, after an eleven-day trial, the husband won, securing a divorce decree nisi.

CAPTURED DOPE ENOUGH TO KILL 6,50 PERSONS U, S, Agents Say Public Does Not Realize Danger in Drug Traffic. Dynamite or TNT has little on morphine hydrochloride tablets as a killer. Federal narcotic officers say that the~ “dope” found Wednesday when they captured Orlando J. Horton, alleged Chicago dope trafficker, was sufficient to kill over 6,500 normal people not addicts to the drug. Each of the fifteen cans alleged found in Horton’s traveling bag contained 437 Vi grains. “A single grain is a fatal dose for the individual wl.o is not a ‘dope’ addict,” said L. J. Ulmer, narcotic officer, today. The “dope” in the cans was put up in cubes o£, about four grains each There were about 100 cubes, about one-half inch ’square in each can. Narcotic officers say they believe there is a ring behind the alleged operations of Horton and are making efforts to ascertain the “higher ups.” Traffic in Indiana|tolis

“There appears to be an evident lack of knowledge by most people as to the extent to which this creeping, cancerous growth is reaching into the country,” said Ulmer. “We believe the traffic has been going on around Indianapolis for a long time to a considerable extent — far more than the public realizes. “The Harrison Narcotic Act of Dec. 17, 1914, made it unlawful to distribute or aid in distributing morphine, cocaine, heroin, and other derivatives of opium and coca leaves to persons under Government supervision. A druggist cannot lawfully dispense such drugs except on a prescription issued by a physician for a legitimate purpose. Prescriptions Filled “Often addicts will forge a prescription and a druggist will fill it for them either through ignorance or wilful intent to violate the law,” said Ulmer. Addicts then pass the drug on Ao others, often selling it for a dollar a grain. Peddlers often dilute morphine with talcum powder ami realize high profits. “The addicts make a solution of the powder and water and inject it under the skin with a hypodermic needle. Often they use both cocaine and morphine. They say cocaine deadens the pricking of the needle. “Cocaine addicts take several 'shots' at a time,” said Ulmer, “Then they become wild eyed and talkative and frequently ‘coke’ parties end in a shooting. They take morphine ‘shots’ to quiet their i nerves. ! “Not only is the drug harmful, hut the adulterants used often cause abscesses when Injected Into the body,” he said, “A majority of addicts are syphilitic, due to the using of the hypodermic needle by numbers of people.” Motorcycle Rider Killed * #;/ Timr* Special NOBLES'VILLE.

SON OF OFFICIAL HAS LONESOME JOB While Others Shoot Fireworks Before July 4, County Officer Insists His Boy Respect Law.

Being 7-year-old son to a county official whose duty it is to see lawbreakers brought to justice 13 not so pleasant, according to Charles Edward. Especially just before the glorious Fourth, when all the other kids in th eneighborhood shoot firecrackers with joyful shouts, despite various grave warnings and edicts issued by grave old city dads and policemen, who forget the time when they were little. All a fellow can do, if he is the son of the official aforementioned, is to sit disconsolately on the front porch and wish his dad were a farmer or grocer or so. exhing like that whose kids don’t 1 ive to be examples of law and order to the neighborhood. For a week Charles Edward has just about worn out a large stock of shiny red fire-crackers and other combustibles bought by the father, who carefully explained that on Friday the celebration would take place. But anyway, Charles Edward had a hard time understanding why he couldn’t join the fun, just because

some policeman might forget himself and arrest some little boy who was shooting firecrackers, and Charles Edward’s dad would have to see the little boy put in jail or some place.
