Tunney Is on Way to Europe After ‘Goofs Mob Him at Pier

BY SAM LOVE United Press Staff Correspondent YORK. Aug. 17.—Still cursed by the “high hat” w’h’ich he wears a trifle less gracefully, say, than George Bernard Shaw. Gene Tunney left his gloves and the goose hanging high today and rested on the liner Mauretania on his way to Europe to engage in gentlemanly pastimes as the fellow of gentlemen. The retired heavyweight champion left New York after an afternoon spent solely in company with his fiancee, Mary Josephine Lauder. At the dock Tunney said he did not have time to answer “the 2,400 questions” the reporters were certain to ask. To one reporter he mentioned that he would see him again in Florida this winter, “with the family and everything,” indicating possibly that

J., Aug. 17.—A new step in the creation of colored motion pictures was exhibited here today by Frederick T. O'Grady and enthusiasts predicted marked success for the process. Instead of using two or three beams of colored light, all seven primary colors are thrown on the screen. A special photographic disc carrying seven sector shaped gelations, each died one of the seven colors, is used. Negatives are then turned into positives and shown on the screen throujih ordinary lenses. Color overtones and colored rings that appear in present color pictures are lacking under the new process.

GILDA GRAY’S MATE TO ASK FREEDOM

By United Press LOS ANGELES, Aug. 17.—Gilda Gray’s romance with Gil Boag, who exploited her in a big way on Broadway and then married her, appears to be at an end. Milton M. Golden, local attorney, announced he had received a cablegram from Boag in Berlin instructing him to proceed with a suit for annulment of their marriage. Boag charges pre-nuptial fraud and Golden said he would file the suit immediately. Gilda Gray—whose real name is Marianna Michalska—was a shimmy dancer in Milwaukee and had only mediocre success until she went to New York and danced in revues. Then Boag began managing her. She went from night club to night club in New York, gaining in prestige with each new engagement. She entered the movies. In 1923, Boag and the tawny-haired dancer were married. Recently there have been reports that the two were about to separate, and Gilda Gray was quoted

The Indianapolis Times

Tunney and the Connecticut heiress would be married early this fall. Just before sailing Tunney denied a report in a New York weekly newspaper that he had recently arranged a $50,000 settlement with a woman. His brother, Detective Tom Tunney, a man of fewer words than the $2,000,000 champion, accompanied Gene to the pier along with three policemen sweltering in blue uniforms. A mob of goofs was waiting at the pier, and they made for Gene like the sisterhood used to make for the late Rudolph Valentino. They pushed around him, despite the police, slapped him on the back, pulled at his clothes, pawed him, and assured him that he “was the boy.” Tunney tried to be nice about the mauling. In fact he was nice. He lifted his hat—when he cotfld get it off his head in the roughhouse—and murmured, ‘‘thank you,” and “good of you to the crowd.

Witty Al Lively Cabinet Meetings Are Predicted If Smith Is Elected.

Bu United Press \ LBANY, Aug. 17.—1f Governor Alfred E. Smith becomes President of the United States, cabinet meetings will become Interesting affairs—to those who are privileged to attend. The Democratic nominee has a liveliness of expression and a varied sense of humor which, although they are not reflected in his State papers and formal addresses, frequently creep into his impromptu speeches. Cabinet meetings are private aflairs, and often sprinkled with humor, according to reports. No record is kept. Few cabinet officers ever tell afterward. Smith once was an amateur actor. It is his "asides," long out of fashion in the theater, in which his humor crops out. Some examples from one newspaper conference are offered. New and fresh bits are heard day after day. Someone suggested a statement he is planning be given out for Sunday papers. The Governor gave his views on Sunday papers. “The boy comes along and throws a bale of paper on the steps and you load it into the house and by the time you have finished reading everything in it that is not news, it’s the next day,” he said. Recalling experiences in North Carolina this spring, the Governor was reminded of a doorman at one of the hotels. "Why, the doorman at the Astor would look like an undertaker eompared with him,” he commented. President Lincoln ofter brightened up cabinet meetings by his nomely humor. Cabinet meetings are not always the serious affairs they are supposed co be. One whole cabinet session during the Harding Administration was devoted to a discussion of dogs, when department heads argued whether a mail carrier in a national park should be allowed to have a dog.

caused postponement of the takeoff, and a start before early Saturday was considered unlikely. Hassell and his companion, Parker D. Cramer, hope to make the long .flight across the barren wastes of Labrador and the icebergstrewn straits in sixteen hours in their speedy plane. Through a clear sky Hassell’s plane darted in Cochrane at 2:29 p. m. Thursday, after a rather unadventurous trip from Rockford. Almost the entire population of this little northern Ontario city was out to see the first trans-Atlantic plane that ever passed within close proximity of the farming settlement. The day had been declared a city holiday and all shops were closed. A band was blaring a welcoming song, while the mayor and a city committee were present to welcome the two fliers to the city. The fliers had taken six and a hall hours to make the flight from the Illinois city and for the first 300 miles flew in perfect weather, he said.

NEW PEAK IN PRICE OF PORK NEARJN CITY Packer Blames Shortage in Supply for Steady Increase. BEEF, POULTRY HIGHER Supply Fails to Keeo Up With Demand; Stock Being Held Back. As true as the axiom “you can’t eat your cake and have it,” is the fact that the Nation can’t continue gobbling up pork chops in the face of a diminished supply without paying more for them. That, say local packers, is the reason hogs are commanding around sl3 a hundredweight, the highest point they have attained since February, 1926. Starting from sl2 a week ago, they attained the sl3 crest Wednesday, persisted near that figure Thursday and today and threaten to go even higher during the next two months. Fresh Pork Increasing Fresh pork prices may be expected to show a corresponding increase, while smoked meats, stocked at lower prices, will not reflect the new high level for some time, if at all. “Today's high prices arc due to the scarcity and consequent high price on live hogs.” said Clarence H. Keehn, vice president of Kingan & Cos., local packers. “And in turn, the scarcity of live hogs is due to the comparatively small corn crop and the high price of feed. Farmers closely marketed their hogs during the winter and j spring. Beef, Poultry Higher “With this scarcity, there was not enough hog production to supply the requirements of the distributors, packers and the consuming trade, and up went prices in the resulting completion.” Why the hungry public doesn’t turn from pork to other meat has its answer said Keehn, in the fact that beef and poultry prices, too, have increased. Beef production, he estimated, is 10 per cent under that of a year ago and poultry, 25 per cent below a year ago, “naturally advancing prices.” Frozen Loins Cheaper “But meats at current prices are not out of line with other staple food articles,” Keehn contended. “While fresh loins are selling at 35 and 37 cents In Chicago, frozen loins are from 20 to 25 per cent cheaper. But Indianapolis consumers will have nothing to do with them.” Loins have advanced about 25 per cent in the last month, while hams and other smoked meats have made no appreciable increase in several weeks. “As the consuming season advances,” said Keehn, “there likely will be a moderate increase on the smoked products. It is the general opinion that the scarcity of live hogs will continue through the next two months. Large Crop Halts Sales “The logic of the situation is, that with a large corn crop in prospect, hogs will be held back for feeding rather than hauled to market. This is likely to delay the usual fall increase in the supply and delay at the same time the usual price decrease which accompanies heavier production. “The cattle situation is not mending as it should,” Keehn observed, “because high veal prices encourage the slaughter of small stock.” Farmers generally had disposed of their marketable hogs before prices approximated the sl3 mark, Keehn said. ASK BOND REHEARING Utility Will Petition Commission Again for Issue. Petition was filed today with the public service commission by the Petersburg Water Company asking for a rehearing on its petition to issue stock not to exceed $85,000. On Aug. 1 the commission issued an order c enying the original petition for a stock issue and in the rehearing petition the company says the commission considered evidence which was not introduced during the hearings.

ailment and suggested remedies. Herbs, mint and rhubarb were used, as well as garlic and horseradish seeds. “Ancient Egyptians, who nevei suffered from toothache until after the pyramid age,” the doctor explained, “made an emulsion from the fruit of palms, green lead, powdered flint stones and honey.

The vessel was salvaged yesterday from Kaporsky bay, where on June 4, 1919, she had been sunk as she aided a British fleet and the Russian White fleet in an attempt to capture Leningrad. Through all the years since, the true fate of the L-55 never had been known. A Russian war boat fired at her periscope, there was an explosion, but until the Russian salvage crew lifted her yesterday, there was no further record. When the craft had been righted at Kronstadt, several skeletons were found in the hold. The exact number was not told, but it was believed the entire crew, more than forty men, were trapped and died as the L-55 made her last stand. Admiral Muklievich, chief of the Soviet naval forces, today told newspaper mep that the Soviet government would await Britain s suggestions for disposal of the bodies. He added that the Soviet government would accord the victims full military honors.

TRAFFIC PLAN DOWNTOWN IS TO CONTINUE All-at-Once System for Street Crossing Held Success. NO EXTENSION PLANNED New Bell to Be Installed at Corners to Guide Pedestrians. Indianapolis pedestrians will hav* to comply with “walking periods” for an indefinite time at the Illinois. Meridian and Pennsylvania Sts. intersections with Washington St. This was made known today when Police Chief Claude Worley and members of the board of safety announced themselves "satisfied with the new system.” Changes Planned Some changes are to be made in the present form of traffic operation and it will not be put into effect on other downtown corners at the present time. When the pedestrians first were given the opportunity to cross the street intersections without running the gantlet of approaching automobiles it was said the same rule might be put in force on other intersections. Next week there will be a change in the method of notifying pedestrians they are to have their “inning.” Traffic officers will ring a large electric bell, instead of sounding a gong on the semaphores three times. According to Worley a bell will be placed at each of the three intersections, where “walking periods” are in effect. The probable locations are: Southeast corner of Illinois and Washington Sts. and the northwest corners of Washington and Meridian St., and Pennsylvania and Washington Sts. System Works Well “The new system is successful and is meeting with approval from Indianapolis people,” Fred W. Connell, safety board president, stated. “It is clearing up the traffic situation.” Worley said he thought the new system worked better .than was hoped for. “No time is wasted and traffic is moving as fast as it did before, if not faster,” he said. “At present there will be no steps taken to put the new system on other downtown corners. Observing persons will notice that people who frequent Washington St. and who have become accustomed to the new rule, pause at other corners and wait for traffic to pass.” Traffic Lancs Satisfactory Capt. Lester Jones of the traffic department predicted that some day Indianapolis will have either overhead or underground passages in the downtown section. He also stated that the next move in traffic aid will be installation of a block signal system from a unit board on all important downtown intersections. Survey of the new traffic lane3 recently marked out on parts of Delaware and Meridian St., show speeding up of traffic, Worley said. He said the following points should be remembered: “Fast traffic in the center of the street. “Slow traffic to the right. “Persons parking autos along these areas should keep them close to the curb. “Strict observance of the nodouble parking regulation.” An educational campaign will bo conducted to instruct persons how to drive in these areas, Worley said. Signs will be placed on the curbs emphasizing the above points, he said. AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS Members of 4-H Club Receive Prizes From Bankers.
