HUSTON CALLS PARTY CHIEFS; MAY QUIT JOB Conclave Will Be Held Monday at Capital G. 0. P. Headquarters. Bu x:Hitfd Press WASHINGTON, June 28 —Chairman Claudius H, Huston of the Republican national committee became the center of lively political interest here again today as a result of his sudden call for a meeting with officers of his committee and chairmen of the senatorial and congressional campaign committees. It will be held at Republican headquarters here. Speculation immediately arose as to the possibility of Huston announcing his resignation at the meeting, which was set for a week from Monday, as a dramatic climax to the attacks upon him for his lobbying activities and alleged stock market speculation. In his letter to the party leaders, Huston said he wanted to discuss "some matters of importance concerning the forthcoming campaign on which I prefer to have your counsel and advice.” Republicans face a stiff fight in the congressional elections this fall. An emissary of the “young Turk” group, which is composed of the younger Hoover supporters in the senate, went to him and discussed the matter with him some months ago, during the senate lobby investigation, but little has been said since that time. Only recently, Huston wrote a letter to members of the national committee defending himself from the senatorial charges and denying them in detail. His resignation would have to be acted upon by the full national committee, though he could naturally submit it first to President Hoover, who designated the appointment. The congressional and senatorial campaign chairmen have nothing officially to do with his position.

Duke Divorces Ex-Chorus Girl Who Danced Way .Into London High Society

Ril United Presta EDINBURGH, Scotland, June 28—The Duke of Leinster, premier duke of Ireland, was granted a divorce today from May Etheridge, a former chorus girl who danced her way into London’s highest society and a title. in 1913, May Etheridge was kicking her slim, silken-sheathed ankles on the stage as a "Gaiety Girl.” Her chance for stardom came when one of the main characters of "Princess Caprice” became ill, and she was offered the part. Overnight she became a darling of the London theater-goers. Lord Edw’ard Fitzgerald, younger son of the Duke of Leinster, wooed and won her. They spent their honeymoon in Canada and in 1914, Gerald, now the Marquis of Kildare, was bom. Duty and the love of adventure called Lord Edward into the war. His wife returned to the stage and proved to be still a popular favorite. The action of the strange drama thereafter moved swiftly. Lord Edward became the seventh Duke of Leinster, Marquis and Earl of Ireland.

His wife left the stage, the duke’s fortunes dwindled until in 1918 he had disposed of most of his holdings and had only an annuity of $5,000 remaining. He went to India and upon his return the pair separated, the duchess giving her son to the Leinster family to be properly educated. She lived on a meager allowance. In 1926 a petition of divorce was filed against the duchess by the duke, who charged misconduct. The duchess defended the action and the petition was withdrawn. The chapter w'hich finally has ended in divorce, began when the beautiful duchfcss met Stanley Williams, a 26-year-old chef, who was married. Then, in March, she and Williams argued about a radio concert. Williams slammed the door and The duchess attempted suicide by inhaling gas, according to the decision of a police magistrate at Lambeth, London, when she was remanded for two years. Newspapers carried lengthy accounts of the incident and shortly thereafter the duke of Leinster again filed a petition for divorce. He named Williams in the suti.

U. S. LIQUOR WAR TO CENTER IN DRYSTATES Mitchell’s Crusade in Wet Areas Will Be Little Sterner Than Present. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, June 28.—Prohibition enforcement under AttorneyGeneral Mitchell after July 1 is to be concentrated more than ever before in those areas where public opinion is sympathetic with the dry law, it strongly was indicated today as the Justice department prepared to assume command. In the wet states where little or no co-operation is forthcoming from state authorities, the government’s prohibition enforcement efforts will be little more severe than they are now, it was intimated. Where local authorities co-oper-ate, however, intensive campaigns will be conducted by the federal dry army to enforce the law. Clear indications that this will henceforth be the government’s policy was offered by Mitchell’s statement announcing plans for the transfer of prohibition from the treasury to the justice department, which said: “In those states which have repealed enforcement statutes and whose authorities do not perform a proper share of the work, there have been, and will continue to be, grave deficiencies in enforcement. Where such conditions exist they are a matter of choice with the states.” Mitchell raid the justice department will seek conferences with state authorities relative to the part the states are to play in prohibition enforcement and will seek to obtain “that degree of law observance and enforcement which can only come through the united efforts of the state and federal governments.” Forger Sent to Prison By United Press LOGANSPORT, Ind., June 28.—A $6 check forgery to which Joe Roush, 23, pleaded guilty, resulted in a one-to-seven-year prison sentence.

Learn to Swim —N0.6 Co-ordination Vital to Beginner in Swimming

- - w* v jr * , v \_. * ft; w* :

The complete crawl stroke is demonstrated by Miss Alma Tiefert, city recreation swimming director.

After having practiced until he has perfected execution of the windmill stroke and flutter kick, the swimmer is ready to combine the two movements in the complete stroke. It should be remembered that relaxation, proper breathing, and form are the important things in swimming. Steps in the final lesson of the six-day course are: A. Practice previous day s lesson. B. Conduct breathing exercises as previously explained. D. Getting the ship sailing. This is the complete srtoke. Here will be the hardest part of the lesson. The windmill stroke of the arms, paddle wheel flutter kick, and breathing must be co-ordinated. These movements must be executed slowly at first. Relax and remember that the swimmer who works too hard merely exerts himself and accomplishes less than the one who makes slow, deliberate movements. The pupil should be able to swim thirty feet or more. E. Now the pupil is ready for his first test (being given in connection with the course at all city pools), wfhich is: Jump into water over your own depth, swim twenty-five feet, make a sharp turn, and return twenty-five feet. An American Red Cross beginners’ button will be awarded all pupils at pools able to do this. Note—This course, which has been explained in six lessons in The Times, will be conducted every week at the six city swimming pools throughout the summer under direction of Francis Hodges, and Miss Alma Tiefert, city recreation

department swimming directors. The outlined course was provided by the Indianapolis chapter, American Red Cross.

WHEAT PRICES 1 DOWN; FARMERS LOSEONSALES Let Grain Go Only If They Are Unable to Hold It for Rise. Bu United Press . KANSAS CITY. June 28.—Worried wheat farmers labored to complete the harvest today, and wondered if the returns would pa? off last year’s debts and sow anew crop. Many looked out over mortgaged farms and saw their wheat piled upon the ground. Others made ar- * rangements to renew notes their wheat lay in storage elevators, awaiting a rise in prices. * Throughout the southwest grain belt, the only farmers to sell their j wheat weer those financially unable to hold the crop for higher prices. For the most part, farmers refused to accept 65 or 70 cents for the grain which cost them in many cases more than that to raise. Only in Texas, where the wagon price had increr-ed to 70 cents a bushel, were farmers selling their grain. “They can not afford to hold it over for a better price.” said Victor Schoffelmayer, agricultural editor of the Dallas News. “The plight of the wheat and cotton farmer is tha same—terrible.” In Oklahoma, only about 15 per cent of the new wheat was being sent to terminal elevators for sale. The other 85 per cent was being stored in country elevators. “Oklahoma farmers would go broke if they sold their wheat at present prices,” said E. H. Linsee, state grain inspector. “The state has sufficient storage facilities to accommodate the crop.” Perhaps the worst conidtions existed in Kansas, where farmers were faced with a short crop in addition to low prices. Grain men estimated the Kansas crop would run approximately 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 bushels less than the 1929 production of 137,000,000. The average wagon price over Kansas today was 65 cents a bushel.
