RED THEORIES 0. K.! REBELS AT PRACTICES Race Question Proves Hard Problem for Finnish Communist. Sv United Press NEW YORK, March 2.—Race equality as a communist doctrine *as all right tor August Yokinen, a Finn, in theory, but In practice it was different. For instance, he said he wouldn’t care to bathe in the same tub a Negro us*d. He was willing to be “comrade" to Harlem Negroes, but when they wanted to attend a dance at the Finnish Workers Educational Club, oi whirl-. he was JarJ.tor, Yokiner talked. Asa result he stood convicted today of "white chauvinism” and under sentence of the Communist party in America to do heavy penance before he can again become "comrade” either to the Harlem brethren or any other member-in-good-standing of the Communist party. “Hold “Mass Trial’ The first Communist “mass trial” was held in Harlem Sunday. There live thousands of Negroes with a goodly representation in the Communist party. A jury of fourteen, including six Negrd men and one Negro woman, tried Yokinen. The charge of “white chauvinism” brought against him involved violation of the Communist tenets lof race equality. Yokinen was accused of not only! acquiescing in ejecting Negroes from the Finnish dance, but also of failing to “jump at the throats of those who wanted to eject” the dusky Tearers of the Communist insignia, the hammer and side. Mast Do Penance Yokinen was humble enough. He , pleaded guilty and his attorney pleaded that he not be sacrificed, hut rather saved for the “cause.” Thereupon the jury of his “equals” Deliberated briefly and decided that he could again become a fullliedged Communist if he would fulfill the following: ' Announce to the Finnish Club the results of the trial In a manner to convince the other Finns that “white chauvinism” is a sin. Work at the club to allow Negroes equal admission with others to all parts of the club, including the bathtub.

Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin, Aged Liberal Congressman, Is Dead

P.y United Press WASHINGTON, March 2.—Congress today mourned the loss of its dean, Henry Allen Cooper of Wisconsin, 80-year-old liberal, who died here three days before completing his thirty-sixth year in the house. Cooper's body will leave here Wednesday for his home in Racine, there to lie in state. Burial will be Thursday at Racine. The hardy old leader died “with his boots on.” He left the house late Saturday after a hectic night session, apparently in good health.

Henry Allen Cooper

There were jeers and hisses through the great hall when the erect old gentleman asked for recognition to present , the La Follette platform. But after he had spoken a few minutes there were cheers. When there were cries of “Socialism” as he advocated government ownership of railroads, Cooper retorted that the same cry had been raised about election of senators.

The great throng cheered again when he advocated a referendum in case of war. When the La Follette program was rejected, Cooper followed his friend into the independent campaign for the presidency. For this he was disciplined later by being deprived of committee places. Was Last of His Line Cooper sucered from a fall during the last congressional recess, but at the beginning of the session was back in his place, looking hale and hearty. His wife became sick a few weeks ago and he attended her very closely. The veteran legislator was the last of his line. He is survived by Mrs. Cooper and two sisters. Cooper’s independence was demonstrated only a few nights ago when he refused to attend the Republican caucus which renominated Speaker Nicholas Longworth. The speaker spoke of him today as “one of the finest gentlemen.” Voted Against \v o Id War The elderly Wisconsin member received an ovation from the house on the occasion of his last speech several weeks ago, and Representative Thomas L. Blanton (Dem., Tex.), recalling Cooper’s speech in 1917 against the war, said: “What he said on that memorable night of the horrors of war was true, as we have found out since that time.” Cooper was bom on Sept. 8, 1850, in Walworth county, Wisconsin. He was elected to the Fifty-third congress in 1892. BARE KIDNAP HOAX Candidate Admits Plot to Gain Sympathy. By United Press TOLEDO, 0., Mar :h 2.—A story of being kidnaped and robbed, told by William G. Miller, Detroit, candidate for auditor of Wayne county, Michigan, was blasted by police today after the narrator had been questioned for several hours. Staggering into police headaquarters shortly after midnight today, his clothing disarranged. Miller told police he had been held up late Saturday at Fyandotte, Mich., by four men who robbed him of affidavits accusing Auditor John Cowan of graft, drugged him and then brought him to Toledo. Breaking down after a long period of questioning, Miller finally admitted the story was a hoax, intended to win sympathy for himself in the primaries. No charges were filed against him and he was released. NAME PYTHIAN OFFICERS Mrs. Evelyn Bowers Heads Women’s Group at Arcadia. By Times Special ARCADIA, Ind., March 2.—New officers have been installed by Prudence Rebekah lodge and Mercer temple. No. 240, Pythian Sisters of Arcadia. Officers to hold terms of six months in Prudence lodge are headed by Mrs. Evelyn Bowers, noble grand, and Mrs. Verch Nagle, vicegrand. Mrs. Audra Reibeling is new leader of Pythian Sisters. She recently directed a membership contest for Mercer temple. ,

About 11 p. m., not long after he retired, he complained of shortness of breath. Three hours later he died, peacefully and without pain. Cooper was identified with the elder La Follette, and was the leader of the La Follette insurgent group in the house. However, his service in congress antedated that of the late Senator from Wisconsin. He had served continuously from 1893 except for one lapse, 1918-1920, after the war. He voted against declaration of war. During his early days he fought against Speaker Tom Reed’s rigid rule of the house, and he was one of the leaders in the successful 1910 fight against Speaker Cannon. Years later he took up the fight to liberalize the rules still further and with a little band of insurgents held up organization of the house for a month in 1923. He was the candidate for speaker of a group which held the balance of power. They stood firm until finally they won their way in a coalition with Democrats. The most dramatic episode of Cooper’s * colorful career was when he stood before the Cleveland Republican convention in 1924 and threw out the La Follette challenge to the party.

MOON, STAR TO BE IN ECLIPSE Phenomena May Be Seen With Opera Glasses. By Science Service WASHINGTON, March 2.—The star beta Virginis, which is of the third magnitude and about as brilliant as the faintest star in the large dipper, will be hidden by the moon in the early morning hours of Thursday, March 5, astronomers here at the United States nautical almanac office have computed. When the moon thus “eclipses” a star, it is called an “occultation.” With the exception of a star a tenth of a magnitude brighter, which will be similarly hidden in September, this is the brightest star to be occulted for Washington observers during the present year. The moon will be full at the time, so its glare will make the star rather hard to see with the unaided eye, but through such slight optical aid as a pair of opera glasses it will be possible to see the moon come up to the star and cover it, then, a little while later, to see the star reappear on the other side of the moon. At Washington, the moon will cover the star at 2:25 a. m. (eastern standard time). Since the moon moves eastward among the stars, the disappearance will be behind the eastern edge, near the lowest part. Twenty-one minutes later, or at 2:44 a. m., the star will reappear behind a point on the moon’s edge a little to the right. As the star vanishes and then emerges, it will do so with great suddenness. This is because of the lack of a lunar atmosphere. In submarines the United States navy is strongest, with 83; France comes next, with 82, then Japan, with 67, and Great Britain fourth with 58.

COUNTY PLANS CENSUS OF ALL MALE VOTERS Trustee Will Select 500 to Make Count Required by Old Law. Appointment of more than 500 persons to make the sectional enumeration of males 21 or over, in Marion county, taken every five years, will be made by Miss Hannah Noone, Center township trustee, according to an announcement today by County Auditor Harry Dunn. At a cost of approximately $50,000, the enumeration is made statuatory under an 1857 law requiring the trustee to file witri the county auditor a report of all male persons over 21 in the county. The report will be advertised by Dunn and then submitted to the state auditor, Dunn said. Appointees for the enumeration w’ili receive $3 a day, and thirty days will be required to finish the task, Dunn said. Walter Clarke, attorney for Miss Noone, said he would confer with Dunn today about the appointments. Clarke stated he believes the enumeration is not mandatory on the township trustee. Under the statute Marion county must furnish money and supplies for the enumeration, according to Dunn. Hundreds of persons have placed their applications with Clarke and Dunn for places on the enumerating staff, Dunn said. PEOPLE WANT REPEAL, SAYS ANTI-DRY CHIEF Prohibition Cause Gained Not an Inch in 1930, States Curran. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 2.—The claim that a majority of the American people “now stand ready to vote for repeal of the eighteenth amendment” was made today by Henry H. Curran in his annual report as president of the association against the prohibition amendment. Curran contended reports for 1930 showed the prohibition cause “has not gained an inch.” He said “more than a quarter of the population of the country repudiated the eighteenth amendment at the polls.”

America, Russia Hold World’s Divorce Records

By United Press BERLIN, March 2.—An English marriage is the most durable in the w’orld, while the American variety, next to that of Soviet Russia, holds the international record for brevity, a survey of the reich statistical bureau showed today. Divorce figures from all over the world brought forth many interesting sidelights on national matrimonial problems, among them the fact that the fifth to tenth years—not the first hundred—are the hardest, and that “war” marriages have proved the least successful. The divorce courts of America and Russia grind out their decrees at a rate hardly to be compared with those of other countries, it was revealed. Beginning with the Soviet Union, where the average decree is ? mere matter of minutes, the numb. r of divorces per year for each 100,000 inhabitants runs about as follows: Russia, 305.7; United States, 163.3; Austria, 89.6; Japan, 79.1; Switzerland, 67.5; Denmark, 66; Germany, 61.6, and France, despite

the legendary fickleness of its citizens in love, only 47.1. In England there are only 8.6 divorces a year for every 100.000 people.
