DIMPLED DAVID HITS SNAG OVER SON6HEWROTE fllmee and Three Others Lay Claim to Inspiring ‘Faith' Tune. by United PYess LOS ANGELES. Sept. 17.—When Dimpled David Hutton, husband of Aimee Semple McPherson, penned a *ong to the Evangelist boasting of “my faith in you,” he little realized that three other women would come forward to claim that they inspired the melody. Only one “broken hearted" girl remained actively in the lists against him today. She is the original entry, Mrs. Myrtle Henrietta Joan St. Pierre, twice married and divorced before Hutton came along and, she said, betrayed her. Mrs. St Pierre filed suit for $200,000. Mrs. Roland Neece, down in her Long Beach pajama factory, said she and Hutton “had an understanding they would marry," and announced her attorney had been instructed to file a breach of promise suit against “what-a-baritone.” Quite a Ladies’ Man But her attorney. Burr A. Brown, had different ideas. “Insufficient evidence," he said. “As iar as I’m concerned, there will be no damage suit filed by Mrs. Neece.” Mrs. Neese, who also sings over the radio, insisted that she collaborated with Hutton in producing the song, “My Faith in You.” Mrs. St. Pierre, on the other hand, said she inspired Hutton to write the theme .vng. Mrs. McPherson Hutton, before she and her husband left for Portland, said that Hutton had written “My Faith in You” to her. Pretty Mary Jeanne O’Kane of Pasadena, asserted that Dave dedicated his song to her. “Dave was quite a ladies’ man,” said Miss O’Kane. “He rushed me a bit, but I didn’t respond very well, and we drifted apart. He wrote me a lot of affectionate letters—and I burned them.” Hutton Answers Suit All of which was joyfully relayed to Dave and Aimee in San Francisco while Angelus Temple elders held a caucus to decide if it would be proper to buy a bouquet for the unmarried Miss O’Kane. Hutton, through W. Joseph Ford, attorney, filed an answer to Mrs. St. Pierre’s complaint Wednesday. Mrs. St. Pierre emerged from seclusion long enough to admit having been married to and divorced from Harold Herington of Pasadena, and George Street of Long Beach. Street said he would be willing to aid Hutton in fighting the former Mrs. Street’s suit. REJECT COTTON HOLIDAY Texas Moves to Cut Acreage in Half in 1932.

Horse Theft Reported KOKOMO, Ind., Sept. 17. For the first time in ~nv years, the police have been asked to look for a stolen horse. Ernest Turner reported that a thief took the horse out of a pasture.

He was sleeping this morning ’neath a tree in Military park. He was wrapped in a “blanket" that his buddies call a “Hoover blanket.” A bench was his bed. Hard staples were the springs. An arm was a pillow. A soft black hat his night-cap. He snored without that “distorted tone.” It was a happy snore. How could he snore so happily? Ah! we must find out. And we broke in upon this king of * slumberers and he told with a chant why he smiled as he snored. He had taken the song and poem, “The Great Rock Candy Mountains,” as a literal thing of these days and beneath his tree, beneath his “Hoover blanket” he had dreamed of the Great White Chief in Washington figuring as the central godfather in the “candy mountain” dream. And the dream went like this: “I’m going.” said the hobo,” To a land so (air and bright Where handouts grow on bushes And you sleep out every night.” He was almost in tears of joy as he recited that old song of the road. “By the lemonade springs, where the bluebird sings In the great Rock Candy mountains. Where the meat’s always plover and blanket a-la-Hoover In the great Rock Candy mountains. He snuggled deeper in the warmth of his “blanket.” The “blanket” rustled with his move. His words died away into dim gutturals. He slept. It was only a dream.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LUDLOW TO ACT ON WHEAT PLAN Prepares to Ask Congress to Donate Surplus. A bill enabling the Salvation Army of Indiana to obtain surplus wheat free from the government to feed destitute Hoosier families will be introduced early in this winter’s congressional session, Representative Louis Ludlow said today. He found his attempt to get the wheat from the federal farm board blocked by the marketing act, which prevents the government from taking losses on the wheat. Ludlow’s decision to submit the bill followed a conference here with Chairman James C. Stone of the federal farm board. After the talk Ludlow said he believed the board would not oppose his proposed measure. “It seems to be the only way to get results in view of the board's interpretation of existing law,” he said. * O.

BRITISH SAILORS WIN HEARING IN 'WAGEJUTINY' Atlantic Fleet HomewardBound; Spread of Protests Feared. BY KEITH JONES United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Sept. 17.—Great Britain’s Atlantic fleet was bound for home ports today for investigation of one of the oddest mutinies in naval history. Passive resistance of “naval ratings” (enlisted men), against wage reductions caused suspension of fleet maneuvers and won an immediate investigation of their grievances by the admiralty. The investigations will be held at Portsmouth, Devonport and Chatham. There was no doubt that the seaman had won an important victory when the admiralty agreed immediately to consider their claims. While it was believed that the grievances of the sailors would be settled quickly, the possibility existed that “passive resistance” might spread to other branches of the defense and civil services. School teachers, whose pay was cut 15 per cent under the new economy bill, have held several parades of protest here and their officials said they never had seen teachers at such a high state of excitement. The police force and the army also were affected. The mutiny offered strange contrasts in that the sailors demonstrated their loyalty to the king and the flag but refused to obey their officers. They apparently were good natured about it. The men of the fleet stood at attention on deck Wednesday, held their lines rigid while the bands played “God Save the King,” and immediately gave three cheers for King George. Then they refused to go to work. They sat on the decks of the great battleships, played cards, sang and danced.
