Automobile Plunges Over 75-Foot Embankment in California. R v T'nited Press HOLLYWOOD. June 28.—Gladys Brockwell, long a favorite of the films, was believed dying in a hospital here early today from injuries she received when the automobile in which she was riding plunged over a seventy-five-foot embankment. The accident occurred near Calabasas late Thursday night. The actress and her companion, Thomas G. Grennan, an advertising man, were rushed to a local police hospital. Injuries received by Brennan, who was at the wheel, were not serious. Miss Brockwell’s body was terribly crushed, hospital attaches said. She suffered fractures of the skull, pelvis and both the lower and upper jaws. One of her most serious injuries was a jagged ten-inch gash in her right side, caused by broken glass. Brennan suffered only two broken bones in his shoulder and a broken nose. Both he and Miss Brockwell were rendered unconscious when the car hurtled around a curve, skidded and went over the embankment. Albin W. Still, a witness, brought them here. Miss Brockwell, a capable and popular actress, was in pictures for many years, as a star, and more recently in support of male players.

Bp Timex Spi rial SOUTH BEND. Ind.. June 28. Leigh Sellers. 31, a mechanic in the employ of Charles E. Hastings, head of a local flying company, was killed and J. E. Parkhill, pilot, fatally injured in an airplane crash one mile northeast of the municipal airport here Thursday afternoon. J. E. Parkhill. pilot of the plane, escaped death but is in a serious condition. Sellers and Parkhill were making a test flight in a reconditioned plane when the accident occurred. They had been in the air for about fifteen minutes, when the plane went into a tailspin at a height of 2.000 feet. Parkhill brought it out of the spin, when about 300 feet from the ground.

FIRST SAINT OF U. S. MAY BE CANONIZED Search Into Life Record of Woman Buried at Evansville Begins. ESTABLISHED CONVENT Mother Mary Magdalene Gave Up Countess Title to Serve Church. By Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind„ June 28.—A woman who sleeps in a grave here may be canonized as America’s first saint. She was Mother Mary Magdalene, who died here at the age of 71, after serving the Poor Clare copvent, which she established, for nearly half a century. First steps toward caronization, which may extend over as long a period as fifty years, are being taken by a group of Catholic church dignitaries in session at Omaha, Neb., revealing many odd rites. The preliminary presentation of a sinless life is being made at Omaha by the Very Rev. A. Gleber of St. Meinrad abbey, St. Meinrad. Ind. In accordance with customs of the church, every statement of his is being challenged by the Rev. Peter G. Cannon, editor of the True Voice, in the role of “the devil’s counsel.” The Rev. James M. Stenson, pastor of St. Peter’s church, Omaha, is sitting as judge. Pope to Pass on Evidence In connection with the canonization, evidence of two miracles in the life of Mother Magdalene must’ be presented. The case will then go before Pope Plus and the College of Cardinals in Rome. The next step is beatification. Expert theologians will go over the story of the holy woman’s life seeking proof of miracles. In pursuit of this proof it is possible that the body may be exhumed from a vault in Poor Clare convent, after burial for twenty-four years, owing to a theory that the flesh of some who have served the church will not corrupt. Left Nobility for Church Mother Magdalene was an Italian noblewoman, Countess Annete Bentivoglio, who spent her youth in New York, where she was destined later to be a pioneer in establishment of the Poor Clare convent. She entered upon the life of a nun at the age of 26. In early life, the candidate for sainthood was described as “high spirited with the daring recklessness of a boy,” but with age she gained mastery of her emotions and came to be known as “The Rock.” She once submitted to a major operation without being given an anesthetic. As she lay on her death bed, Mother Magdalene, speaking to those who were praying, said: “Please let me go home, for the Lord will not take me on account of your prayers.” POLICE SEARCH FOR SMUGGLER OF SINK Fish Mart Raided on Eve of Day for Eating.

‘GOLD DIGGING’ IS CHARGE OF FURNACE MAN Showered Fiancee, Now Seeking Balm, With Gifts, Hardinge Says. DENIES HAVING MILLION Nightgowns and Pajamas at $35 Each Listed Among Presents. By United Press CHICAGO, June 28.—Franklin S. Hardinge, not a millionaire according to his own story, but a hardworking inventor of oil burners, with but $652,369 to his name, fought back against Miss Ann Livingston's $250,000 breach of promise suit today from the witness stand. A minute after he was placed on the stand Thursday the 62-year-old furnace manufacturer testified as to his relative penury and declared that if he paid what his 29-year-old ex-fiancee demanded, he would be ruined financially. Hardinge got little farther than this as cross-questioning of Miss Livingston had taken up most of the time. His testimony today will deal with what his attorneys call “the plaintiff’s ‘gold digging’ proclivities” while they were engaged in 1927, it was understood. Sticks to Story The Tulsa divorcee stuck to her story, told during five days on the witness stand, that she was jilted by Hardinge at Chicago on the eve of their wedding. Persistent objections by the defense prevented her from going into details regarding a pre-nuptial contract which she refused to sign and which presumably caused the marriage to be called off. Three such pre-nuptial agree- ! ments were introduced as exhibits by the plaintiff's attorneys, however, and identified by Miss Hardinge. One proposed she receive SIOO,OOO at" Hardinge’s death in return for waiving all claims to his estate. Hardinge’s attorney read a list of purchasers he said had been made for Miss Livingston during her two-weeks’ visit to Chicago to see Hardinge, including a $35 black chiffon nightgown, pajamas at $35 a pair, evening gowns costing $125 and S2OO, fur coat S6OO, a diamond and ruby ring $650, shoes at $22, and a SSOO bill at a department store.
Denies Asking Gifts The defense endeavored to show that Miss Livingston had suggested the purchase of lavish gifts and that she had taken the liberty of using the millionaire’s charge , accounts to satisfy her wishes for clothes and jewelry. “I never asked for anything,” she replied to all questions. “He always offered to buy them.” “Didn’t he give you money to make purchases and instead you pocketed the money and charged articles to his account?” defense counsel asked. “No,” she replied. “Didn’t you tell Mr. Hardinge you were a poor working girl and didn’t he pay some of your debts so you could get out of Tulsa,” she was asked. _ “He knew I was a working girl for I told him so,” the witness answered. “He lent me S2OO to pay a note in Tulsa before I came here.”
ATTORNEY ASKS PAY Rulings Pave Way for County Pauper Case. i Rulings by Special Circuit Judge Henry M. Dowling today paved the way for trial of the Marion county pauper attorney case in which John Royce and Lloyd Claycombe, appointees, seek the office. Judge Dowling overruled a demurrer by count# commissioners, defendants in a suit by Royce, who was appointed attorney for the poor by Criminal Judge James A. Collins, in which the commissioners contended that Royce had no authority to take steps to collect pay for his services since Judge Collins was without authority to appoint him. Claycombe was the choice of commissioners. The judge also overruled Clay-! combe’s contention that Royce was named as plaintiff in his suit against Harry Dunn, county auditor, without permission of Claycombe’s counsel, and through an error in the court minutes.

strain their nervous systems—and among the worst of these is kissing. “There is the father,” Dr. Hedger explains, "who chases every boy away from his 17-year-old daughter because he thinks she is an angel and should marry nobody unless he has wings. At 17 is the time when the girl should be making friendships and choosing her mate, and actions of a father like that is a crime against the child and should be a crime against the state, as it is on the state the child will later fall back.’’
NEXT TO ROYALTY!
Miss M'Donald Youngest Hostess
She's “an awful vedge,” is Ishbel MacDonald, according to her own collegiate vernacular. Which means that she neither dances, smokes, drinks nor swears—-and thus should be a prime' favorite with Queen Mary. Ishbel, shown here in her latest portrait, is 25 now, but she’s the youngest hostess who ever presided over historic old No. 10 Downing street. By SEA Service LONDON, June 28.—When some time early in June. Ramsay MacDonald moves into the house at No. 10 Downing street as the prime minister of Great Britain for the second time, his eldest daughter. Miss Ishbel, once more will fill the difficult position of hostess in the rambling old house provided by the government for its chief minister. She thus again will become the most conspicuous young woman in the kingdom, except for members of the royal family. Five years ago, when her father suddenly was called to the post of prime minister, she was a girl of 20, studying domestic and social science at King’s college, London, with a view to fitting herself for social welfare work in which she always has been deeply interested. The hearts of English women went out to the young girl who was forced into such a prominent place, with so little warning. MacDonald is a widower, but his daughter showed a poise and a knowledge which was little expected in one so young.
At that time, the wife of a Veil known old party politician, and herself a great social leader, wrote to the girl, offering to help her choose her frocks and to give her some points in court etiquet, as she was sure to be presented at the next court held by their majesties. Spurned Aid at Court Miss Ishbel’s reply was short, sweet and final: “Thank you very much, but I have already chosen my gowns and I think I shall know how to behave at court.”
At that time, Miss Ishbel, using the slang of her college, called herself “an awful vedge,” which means that she neither smokes, swears, drinks nor dances. She thus is the kind of girl who appeals to Queen Mary. The royal family had her and her father as Easter guests at Windsor Castle and afterward the queen referred to her as a charming girl. Since she left No. 10 and retufned to Hamstead. Ishbel*has led a busy, happy life. She finished her studies, traveled with her father in .the United States in 1927 and in Canada in 1928. She showed herself a fluent speaker in public while helping both her father and brother campaign for parliament. She herself was elected to the London county council for the Poplar division and takes a very active part in its debates. Honored by Press One of the most charming incidents in her popular life occurred when her father, as prime minister, was entertained by the Press Club. It also happened to be the time she was celebrating her coming of age. The club sent her a silver ink stand inscribed,: “From the London Press Club to Ishbel with love on her 21st birthday.” On another side were the piquant words: “Say what you like, but be careful what you write.”

Enforcement of the “chain store” licensing law, only general fund revenue raising measure of importance enacted in 1929, was forestalled until next fall when three federal judges today granted an interlocutory injunction restraining the state tax board from administering the measure. The injunction was granted by Samuel Alschuler. senior circuit judge, and Robert C. Baltzell and Thcmas W. Slick, district judges, by agreement of counsel for the state and Lafayette A. Jackson, owner of 250 Standard groceries. The interlocutory decree prevents the tax board from attempting to adminster the law, prohibits the levying of penalties for non-com-pliance and forbids the filing of suits to attempt collection pending final Judgment.

Fifty feet of dirt had been cleared but more than 100 tons remain to be removed before the entrance to the cave is reached, according to Professor Furbay. The lease on the land on which the cave is situated has been renewed and members of the party plan to return next summer to continue the explorations. Professor Furbay plans to leave soon for Oyster Bay, N. Y„ to engage in research work. OVERCOME BY HEAT Paper Company's Employe Taken to Christian Hospital.

SENATOR STIRS MAINE WITH WINE PRAISE
*God Put Berries on Earth to Be Used,’ Gould t Says. WHAT OF IT? HE ASKS Dry State Drive Starts to Defeat Aged Solon in Next Election. By United Press PORTLAND, Maine, June 28.—A shaip division in Maine political circles over the wet and dry issue appeared probable today as a result of United States Senator Arthur R. Gould’s statement defending his right to have, make and drink light wines and beer. The junior senator from Main® expressed his views on prohibition after an attorney for a St. Louis grape juice concern had made public a letter in which Gould stated he nad “some very fair results” with the company's product. tea statement issued from his Presque Isle home, the Republican senator, who is 76 years old, indicated he was surprised that the leter revealed in St. Louis should cause widespread interest.
Sticks to Testimonial Everybody who knows me knows that the sentiment relating to prohibition as expressed in that letter sre my sentiments/* he said. Residents of his section of Maina use grapes and elder berries in maksafd Wine for home consumption, he “God Almighty put these flowers on earth, and he intended them to be used, declared Senator Gould. . Ti ?n„! enator ’ who first was elected m 1926 to succeed the late Bert rarnald, asserted he never had favored the prohibition amendment, and that he assumed everybody in Maine knew it. J h V iC u ei ? sing of light win es and beer, he believes, would mark a big improvement over the present prohibition law, “which seems impossible to enforce.” Senator Gould said that while he has issued no formal announcement, ie expected to be a candidate to succeed himself in the primaries next June. . W. C. T. U. Challenge Him Storm clouds gathered on his political horizon a few hours after he had expressed his views on prohibition. Although he voted against the Jones law, his firm stand in favor of light wines and beer created consternation in some quarters. Senator Gould was not the candidate favored by the W. c. T u at the last election, and certainly the organization will be even more outspoken against his re-election” declared Aletha G. Quimby, president of the Maine W. C.

Smith of Waterville, executive secretary of the Maine Christian Civic League said: ’ If Senator Gould has been reported correctly, the league will do its utmost to defeat him if he seeks re-election. It seems to me Senator Gould is rather delinquent, coming from a dry state, the first one in the country to adopt the prohibition amendment, to take such an attitude m congress.” As the Republican state committee nver has favored Senator Gould, it is not expected to support him if he seeks re-election.
