SUIT AGAINST TUNNEY HELD AS BASELESS Divorcee Has No Claim on Ex-Champion, Lawyer Declares. Jlu r Filled Pre.*t NEW YORK, May 22.—Mrs. Katherine King Fogarty, seeking $500.000 alleged breach of promise damages from Gene Tunney, was pictured today by Tunney’s attorney, George S. Whiteside, as a woman with no meritorious claim against the retired heavyweight champion. A statement by Whiteside claimed Mrs. Fogarty previously had made . lainr- against Tunney, culminating pnor to Turney's last heavyweight championship. •At that time,” said Whiteside’s statement, “a very thorough investigation t? her claims was made and they were found to be without the slightest merit.” Included in the statement was an alleged affidavit by Mrs. Fogarty saying, in part: ' Our relations were such as in no w.-v to cast the slightest criticism or discredit upon him. I have no claim upon him of any kind and never did have.” The document purported to with- j draw remarks regarding Tunney j m.i'lf so the woman's lawyers. It coreluded: T wish to make this solemn decla:; ion under oath, that may be pus ; hed at any time, that he is i:". r’r •• no obligation whatsoever to me and never was, and that his character and conduct, to my kr wiedge, are of the best.” Whiteside gave no clarification of j ih. circumstances in which the al]r i affidavit was made. There were reports that letters j h i meed earlier between Tunney and Mrs. Fogarty. One version was that the woman still possessed some, j ar i that before the present action j led they may he made pub- ; lie in one way or another. Tin other version was that these letters were returned to Tunney be- ; lore his fight. LAWYERS START FIGHT ON APPEAL TRANSFERS Cite That Constitution Sets Out Supreme Court Limits.

DIPHTHERIA WANES WITH TONSILS OUT

Schick Test Is Negative, Following Operation, Doctor Declares. BY I)R. FRANK TIIONE Science Service Staff Writer ST. LOUIS, May 22.—Having junior’s tonsils out may be tne means of saving him from an attack of diphtheria. This was revealed by Dr. Belaem Schick, famous originator of the Schick test for diphtheria susceptibility, speaking before the meeting of the American Pediatric Society now in session here. Various physicians had observed that diphtheria was almost unknown among children who had had their tonsils removed, but the reason for this immunity had never been worked out. Dr. Schick applied his test to a large number of children before and six months after operations for the removal of tonsils, and found that over 80 per cent of those that were susceptible to diphtheria before tonsillectomy became immune following the operation. Dr. Schick, however, cautioned against indiscriminate removal of tonsils. His discovery, he said,

Sick, anemic, feeble babies, starvI ing in children’s hospitals, often thrive when blood is injected into their veins by the surgical process of transfusion. Dr. Grover F. Poweis of the Yale University Medical School, backed by the testimony of many of his colleagues of the society, told of many cases of recovery following such transfusions.

CONCERN GIVES WORKERS GIFT 0F54,000,000 Richman Brothers' Clothing Plant, 50 Years Old, Has No Time Clock. fin XL A Service CLEVELAND. 0., May 22.—The factory that has neither a timeclock nor a boss has just celebrated its fiftieth anniversary—and it has done it in just about the unusual way you might expect of that unusual kind of factory. It has given its employes a gift of somewhat more than 54.000.000. All of this is enough out of the ordinary, in the American industrial scheme, to bo worth reading about. 54.000.000 Gift in Stocks The factory is the big clothing establishment of the Richman Brothers. which has, among others, a prosperous store in Indianapolis. Its $4,000,000 gift consists in giving the workers a chance to buy new stock at something like one-third of its real market value. Here is how it worked out: The directors voted a stock split of three to one. The authorized common shares of the company were increased from 250,000 to 1,000,000, and the outstanding shares from 200,000 to 600,000. Get Shares at One-Third Value Fifty thousand of tlje 600,000 outstanding shares were set aside for distribution to employes at SSO a share —although the market value was $l4O a share. Employes were only asked to make a down payment of 5 per cent, and were given until Nov. 1, 1931, to pay the balance out of their earnings. The number of shares allotted to each employe was based on continuous employment for the years 1926, 1927, and 1928, and on the employe’s rate of pay. The company has 3,000 employes in its factories at Cleveland and Lorain, 0., and 300 more in the thirty-eight retail stores it operates in thirty-seven cities. Nearly all of these took advantage of the company’s offer. Previous to this splitup the employes already held $7,500,000 of stock in their company.

MORON UNDER SUSPICION IN MORROW CASE Harmless Woman Believed Writer of Letter to Ambassador’s Daughter. I Bu United Prem WESTWOOD. Mass., May 22.—A woman, probably mentally defec- ! tive, was seen by investigators today j as the author of a blackmail letter ! sent recently to Constance Morrow, 115-year-old daughter of Ambassador | Dwight W. Morrow. 1 Although the letter carried a i threat of death unless $50,000 was | placed at a “gap in the wall” near the Joseph Balch estate here, authorities were conviced the blackmailer meant no harm. As supporting this theory, they pointed to the fact that in five similar cases since 1925, the same demands had been made upon prominent persons without the author of the letters ever appearing to collect the money. Suspect Seeks Lindy Bu United Press ROCKLAND, Me.. May 22.—Robert Tondera of Mexico City, who was arrested at North Haven last night after trying unsuccessfully to see Colonel Charles A.

Following closely the disclosure that Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow’s 15-year-old daughter, Constance, a student at the Milton acaaemy in Milton, Mass., had received a death threet demanding $50,000, the midnight arrest caused tremendous excitement.
