Women Work Overtime Mrs. Parker S. Maddux, president of the Republican Women’s Federation of Northern California, declared today: “Santa Clara County alone is sending 14,000 women to the Hoover notification ceremony.” The last week has been a whirlwind of work for the women who are pledging their efforts to Hoover. Mrs. W. Davey, carrying on organization work in San Jose, thought to interest 3,000 woman in attending today’s ceremony. “We have had to keep printing shops working night and day,’’ Mrs. Maddux declared, “for 14,000 women demanded admission cards. The admission cards are Hoover pledge cards.” The women of northern California have been working twelve hours a day in the interests of thp notification meeting in the last week.

There are 100 units of the group in the northern pa t of the State. “We are intensively organized,” Mrs. Maddux asserted, “for we have kept the organization alive throughout the years of the Coolidge incumbency.” Women were gathered for today’s notification session by a “chain telephone corps.” Ten Republican women telephoned ten friends, asked them to go to the gathering, the invited women, in turn, telephoned ten more.

‘Give the Little Girl a Hand’ Says Tex of Fair Crusader

Holds No 111 Feelings for Mrs. Willebrandt, Who * Started Raids. BY lIORTENSE SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—“ She’s a great woman. I’m proud of her,” said Texas Guinan of Mabel Walker Willebrandt. “I’d like to know her. She’s got more spunk than a dozen men—for at least she’s trying to do something about prohibition—even if I do think she is going about it the wrong way. You bet—l’m for giving the little girl a hand.” “Tex” Guinan is the acknowledged symbol of night club life in New York. Mabel Walker Willebrandt is the United States assistant attorney general who started the recent night club raiding in New York. She is the reason why Tex and Helen Morgan, two of the city’s most popular night club hostesses, are wearing SI,OOO bails these days, and awaiting trial in the Federal court, along with many others, for conspiracy to violate the Volstead act. Wishes Her Luck “No, I wouldn’t want her for my lawyer,” went on Tex. “I wouldn’t want any woman, because I want to have the last word myself—even if it is only good-by. , “And besides, I have so many lawyers now, couldn’t possibly take on another. But I wish her all the luck in her profession.” Going to court has no novelty, no terror for Texas Guinan. This is her fifth try. “Appearing at the Federal building and going through the court scene is just like going back to a town you have played before and made lots of friends,” said she. “I have no stage fright. “After the session, I always go to Kahn’s for lunch—that’s where all the commissioners and judges go—they are all so charming and so clever. We stage a regular show, as good fun as anx night club. They Like to Pay “People have to have a place to spend their money. Suppose a person with a few millions comes to New York—what does he want to do? He wants to go to a night club and see fun and gayety. “He wants to pay for it. And he does. I’ve seen Harry Thaw spend $1,500 a night, and think nothing of it. That meant, of course, tips for all the entertainers and the help. Others do the same. “I love a night club, and have a circus every minute. I really ought to pay all the checks, I have such a good time—but I don’t. Instead, I go round with a bushel basket and collect the checks’. “In one club where I was hostess, we took in $700,000 in ten months. The average one makes $15,000 to $16,000 a week—as much as a show. But there’s a load of expense, and a lot of overhead. And if people drink, that’s not my fault.” Texas Guinan has never been blue or discouraged in her life. She refuses to start just because she’s in court again. “Sure, I could be happy in jail,” she laughed. “I’d organize a field day and give the crack runners a chance. And with all that time on my hands—maybe I’d get caught up. That’s the only problem I have.” HORACE NIXON RITES WILL BE HELD TODAY City Insurance Man to Be Buried at Newcastle.

AL HOUSE AGAIN AFTERFUNERAL Returns to Albany From Brennan Rites. By United Press ALBANY. N. Y., Aug. 11.—Somewhat wearied by more than 1,600 miles of travel in thirty-six hours. Governor Alfred E, Smith, Democratic presidential candidate, arrived at Albany shortly before 7 o’clock this morning from his trip to Chicago for the funeral of George E. Brennan. He drove to the executive mansion to rest, and said he would not be available until late this afternoon, if at all. Political situations were practically forgotten by the Governor while on the trip, but he was not allowed to forget that he is a presidential candidate by the crowds in Chicago and at several of the more important cities along his route. Smith made an unexpected appearance at Cleveland, Ohio, last Friday night, when several hundred persons crowded around his car. Without coat or hat, he descended to the station platform and shook hands with well wishers, but did not make "ij speech. youthT I ”age ask aid Grandfather, 102; Boy 6, Seek Help From Police.

Drinking Potion of Jimson Weed Has Unexpected Effect. By Science Service LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11.—A young Diegueno Indian who found the white man’s bootleg hard to get recently has tried concocting the old-time whisky of his ancestors—with results that have scared off any other young Indians who might be seized with the same inspiration. Facts of the unusual incident were learned by Arthur Woodward, anthropologist of the Los Angeles Museum. This youth of the Volcan reservation, near Santa Ysabel, had heard stories of how his ancestors' used the Jamestown or jimson weed in ceremonials before the white men came into the West. The Indians dried the roots and crushed them in a special ceremonial mortar and made a powerful narcotic drink, Woodward states. Young men who drank it fell into a stupor for one to four days and in their dreams they learned which animals or birds were to be their personal totems to help them through life. Weaker boys sometimes died from overdoses. Early Spanish missionaries undertook to stamp out such customs, but this “toalache ceremony” survived to some extent up to half a century ago. "The young Diegueno noticed that jimson weed was plentiful,” says Woodward. "The old folks said that it made a man drunk and happy. So, this ambitious youth gathered some roots, pounded them, and made a small keg of jimson weed brew. He drank heavily of the stuff, and for several days was like a man possessed of devils. His companions did not learn what made him act so ‘crazy’ for several days'.” The young Indian is “cured.” So are the other Indians who saw him.

Aug. 11.—Prehistoric monsters, colossal beasts the like of which mankind has not even dreamed, have been found by the Roy Chapman Andrews expedition in Mongolia, it was announced here today. The report was brought back by a missionary who visited the American explorers at their base in the interior. The newly discovered monsters are unknown to science and were declared by Andrews to be the expedition’s greatest find, the missionary said. The beast is the “grandfather” of the largest monsters hitherto known, Andrews was quoted as saying. The headbones alone weighed 400 pounds. The head was shaped like a saddle, with the nose narrowing towards the middle and widening at the ends. The expedition is returning on Aug. 25, the missionary said.

News of the Week Boiled Down

WHO says the poor boy can’t make a couple of millions by the sweat of his brow and marry the steel millionaire’s daughter. Gene Tunney has proved it still can be done —at least once in a while. Gene was the world’s cham-

pion Ijeavyweight prize fighter a few days ago. But he gave up that title for the sake of his lady love and now Is to lead the life of a gentleman on the near $2,000,000 he made by sweat in the fight ring. His engagement to the steel millionaire’s daughter, Miss Mary Josephine Lauder, Greenwich, Conn., was announced this week. Miss Lauder is socially prominent—very much so, comes from several of the country’s first families and all that sort of thing. Gene met Miss Lauder five or six years ago when he was a mere unknown, rough-neck prize fighter. He liked the young sweet thing—she was only 16 then, he about 25—and resolved he would win her heart and hand, we are told.

So Gene punched his hardest and became world’s champion and annexed a couple of millions. When not blacking eyes and knocking noses cross-eyed he devoted himself to the study of Shakespeare, learning at least enough about that ancient gentleman to lecture about him to the young gentlemen at Yale University. And now Miss Lauder and Gene Tunney, world’s champion, are to wed and live happily ever after—we hope. A sweet story. Too bad Horatio Alger isn’t alive to write a book about it.

FROM MINER TO BIG BOSS

Fit material for a great book, a book which would dramatize the insides of American politics, is the life of George Brennan, Illinois Democratic political leaders, who died this week at Chicago. 'Brennan was 63. For inany years he has been regarded as one of the three or four determining men in the Democratic party. He never held a public office, but he held votes and power. His career carried him from coal miner to a minor Statehouse position, to school teacher, to the insurance business and political influence. Governor A1 Smith of New York Democratic candidate for the presidency, and other political leaders from ever the nation journeyed to pay tribute at his funeral. But a brutal crime stole much of Chicago’s attention from the death of George Grennan. Miss Jennie Constance, 42, head of the English department of Bradley Polytechnical Institute, Peoria, 111., was brutally slain with a piece of pipe in Evanston. She was studying fdr a Ph. D. degree at Northwestern University summer school. On her way from the university library she was sprung upon from behind a hedge, killed and attacked. A moron, of course, did the deed. Police questioned scores, but as yet have not solved the crime. HICKMAN TO DIE SOON Out at Los Angeles another moron, William Edward Hickman, was sentenced again to die. He was sentenced to die some time ago. but appealed to the State's highest court and lost. The lower court then pronounced tfce second sentence as a formality and Hickman must die between Oct. 8 and Nov. 7 because he kidnaped ana cut into pieces the body of Marian Parker, 12-year-old schoolgiil. The Polish fliers provided practically the only world-wide aviation news of the week. Wrecked in the plane in which they were attempting a Paris to New York flight seventy miles off the coast of Portugal the fliers, Majors Idzikowski and Casimir Kubala. declared they would try it again. Lucky for them their plane crashed near an ocean liner which rescued them. They had been in the air thirty-eight hours, half of the time flying westward and the remainder seeking to reach Europe'again because the fuel line of the plajie was not feeding properly. Disaster descended on the Italian navy. Thirty-one men died when the Italian submarine F-14 collided with a cruiser during maneuvers. The submarine crashed to the bottom of the Adriatic Sea. Within forty-eight hours the ship was raised from the 100 feet of water in which it had sunk, but it was too late. The men had been killed by the fumes which had flooded the ship from its batteries. Disaster, too, again visited Florida. A seventy-five to ninety-mile-an-hour hurricane sw'ept the peninsula from coast to coast, doing damage estimated at $3,000,000, although there was no confirmed loss of life. The devastated regions now are threatened with floods.

IN HONOR OF VALIANT DEAD

Eleven thousand British World War veterans, the Prince of Wales, Admiral Jellicoe and other British dignitaries joined in a ceremony at YprA, Belgium, in honor of their comrades who died in that bloody battle of the World War. The opening hymn was “Oh Valiant Hearts” sang to the 55,000 British soldiers whose unidentified graves are strewn over that battlefield. Will there be another great war in the lives of those men who gathered at that ceremony? Sherlock Holmes, fiction-detective of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, came to life to free Oscar Slater from the prison in England in which he had served twenty years for the murder of a woman which he never committed. Conan Doyler aided in proving Slater never convicted the murder. The British Government gave Slater $30,000 to compensate him for his twenty years in prison. Out at Los Angeles, the Califorians found a novel way of amusing themselves. Ten thousand, It is said, over the last week-end journeyed to a ship seven miles off the coat fitted up as a gambling palace. By staying seven miles from shore the owners said they kept themselves out of Federal and State authority. Fred Stone, veteran song and dance artist and comedian, who has amused hundreds of thousands with his antics on the stage, wiggled his toes at New London, Conn., and hoped he soon would be able to dance again. But both his legs were In plaster casts and doctors were not so hopeful that he ever would be able to return to the stage. Both of Stone’s legs were broken when an airplane in which he was attempting a solo flight crashed. VACATION FROLICS CAUSE DEATH Anew murder stirred the town of Queens Village, Long Island, where Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray killed and received their sentence of death for the murder of Ruth’s husband. Mrs. Frances Kirkwood was charged with stabbing her husband to death. She said it was accidental, that her husband, 26 years old, was stabbed when he attempted to take from her a knife with which she Intended to end her own life. They had quarreled because she had learned he had been on wild studio parties while she was on a vacation, she said. And Albert Hoover and A1 Smith continued their courses of action which each hopes will lead him to the presidency of the United States. There was more news from A1 Smith. A friend of Hoover let it be known that the Republican candidate will lay and began an intensive campaign six weeks before the election, in order that the Republicans may get in the last blows in the election fight and laugh last. Hoover quietly celebrated his fifty-fourth birthday at his home at Palo Alto, Cal., and prepared for his formal notification of his nomination and his acceptance speech which was to come today. On the other side of the continent A1 Smith, the Democratic candidate, challenged Dr. John Roach Straton, pastor of the

START PROBE IN MYSTERY DEATH OF 3 BY POISON Two Women and Girl in One Family Die; Murder Theory Held. By United Press CABOOL, Mo., Aug. U.—Three mysterious deaths, resulting from a slow-acting poison, are being investigated here tonight by physicians and authorities of Texaa County. The dead were Mrs. Cecil J. Weatherman, 27. of Kansas City, who died here Aug. 6 at the homo of her mother, Mrs. Joueph McGhee, Cabool, Mo.; Mrs. McGhee, who died the preceding day, and Nancy Louise McGhee, 9, daughter of Mrs. McGhee. Family Was Threatened Cecil Weatherman, 3, son of C, J. Weatherman of Kansas City, is in the hospital at St. Joseph, critically ill and his death is expected Nancy Louise McGhee w’as the first to die, her death occurring Aug. 3. It was not until the third death that authorities began an investigation. A theory that the three had been poisoned by enemies of the family was given credence after Weatherman declared threats had been made against him. Nature of the threats was not revealed. Men Not Officers So far the investigation has revealed nothing and officers admit they are puzzled. Examination of the water and food supplies used by the family gave authorities no clew’s. They claim, however, that the poison Is of a slow-acting nature. None of the men in the family have been affected by the poison, thus adding more mystery to the case. Mrss. Weatherman and her children had been visiting with her parents here. Last Saturday Weatherman was called from Kansas City to come to Cabool. Arriving here he found his wife and mother-in-law seriously ill and his sister-in-law dead. Boy Scouts at Turkey Run By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 11.— Alimony of $25,000 is asked by Mrs, Lucerne Woodbum in a divorce suit against Thomas R. Woodbum, wealthy business man. She alleges Woodburn is quarrelsome, abusive and profane. She asks custody of four children, ranging in age from 18 months to 15 years. Calvary Baptist Church, New York, to debate. The Rev. Straton attacked Smith’s past legislative record and declared him “the deadliest foe in America of moral progress.” WHERE WILL THEY DEBATE, IF? Smith asked that he be allowed to answer the charges in the church in which they were made. Straton gleefully accepted verbally and suggested Madison Square Garden for the debate, but when he learned Smith would insist that the debate be held where the charges were made, in Straton’s church, Straton insisted that, if they debited in his church, that he also must debate in St. Patrick's Cathedral. As it is certain Smith would not agree to this, and it would not be possible, it appears likely the de'bate will not be held because of failure to agree to the arena. And during the week another big business man joined the forces backing Smith. Pierre S. Du Pont submitted his resignation as chairman of the board of General Motors Corporation to devote his time to aiding Smith during the campaign. But the directors of the motors corporation refused to accept the resignation and granted him a leave of absence.
