REPEAL DIRECT ISSUE IN VOTE OF 23 STATES Senatorial Contests and Referenda to Play Big Part in Outcome. BY HERBF.RT LITTLE Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—Statewide senatorial contests and referenda in twenty-three states a month from now probably will have a greater effect on the prohibition question than the presidential election, held that same day. The eleven referenda, even more than the party platforms, will affect the votes of senators and congressmen in the next congress, and even in the lame duck congress which meets in December. Many candidates from these states are withholding any stand on prohibition pending the voters’ decisions. In eichteen of the thirty-three senatorial contests this year, prohibition appears to be Involved. In thirteen others, wets are certain of election, and in two, Arkansas and Kansas, dry senators appear inevitable. The flat wet-and-dry senatorial fights are in California. Idaho. Indiana, lowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Oregon. Utah and Washington. In all of these except California, where Tallant Tubbs <Rrp.i is supported by repeal forces, the Democratic candidate Is on the wetter side. 13 States Known Wet James E. Watson of Indiana and other Republican nominees have become only moist, from the rcpealists' point of view, through their espousal of President Hoover's prohibition stand. Other senatorial contests which will affect vitally the wet and dry vote in the next congress are in Arizona, Colorado, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota. Oklahoma, South Dakota and Vermont. The thirteen states now deemed certain to send senators who will vote for repeal, either because both candidates are wet or because the Democratic candidate has agreed to support the party's platform, are Alabama. Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina. Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wisconsin, Voters to Rule on Repeal Os the referenda, six are to be held in states which have senatorial battles over prohibition: Arizona, California, Colorado, North Dakota. Oregon and Washington. Arizona, Colorado and North Dakota candidates are not discussing prohibition much, pending the outcome. In addition there are referenda in Connecticut, Louisiana and New Jersey, all thoroughly wet, and in Wyoming and Michigan. The Wyoming and Michigan contests are being watched here w r ith special interest. In six of these referenda. Arizona. California, Louisiana, New Jersey, ] Oregon and Washington, the pro- j posal submitted to voters is repeal J of the state prohibition act. In two, Colorado and North Da- j kola, repeal of the state Constitution’s prohibition clause is proposed. Commission Is Proposed In Michigan there is submitted an ! amendement to the state Constitution empowering the legislature to set up a commission to have full control of the retail sale of liquor, but providing for retention of | county option. This automatically ; would repeal the state prohibition act. Connecticut and Wyoming will • vote on the general question of repealing the eighteenth amendment. California, in addition to state repeal, is to vote on a state constitutional amendment setting up a system of state liquor control. Louisiana, in addition to state repeal, will vote on memorial congress to call a constitutional convention to repeal or modify the eighteenth amendment. TAXES SLASHED BY CITY’S LIGHT PLANT Jacksonville (Fla.) Finds Municipal Ownership Is Blessing. Bp Seripps-Hoirnrd Xetespaper Alliance JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 7.Instead of groaning under a heavy municipal tax burden, taxpayers in this town are smiling and blessing the day when their city officials decided tnat Jacksonville should own apd operate its own electric light plant. Thanks to the proceeds from that light plant, the city tax rate of Jacksonville citizens next year will be 11.5 mills, the lowest municipal levy here in twenty years. Not. since 1903. when the city was several sizes smaller than it is now, has the tax rate been so low. Jacksonville's 1933 budget already has been adopted. It appropriates $4,381,719.43 as the amount needed to operate all its departments and of that sum. 52.002.?68 will come from the earnings of the municipal owned light plant.

Hunger in Paris Case Turns to Riches for Irene Castle

Foliowine is the sixth *nd ronclud;n- article of * *erie on man *nd women. nos Ilvlne In comparative ob'curltv. shoie once loomed large in the nubJie eve. BY WILLIAM ENGLE. Time* Stefif Correspondent (Copyright. 1932. by the New York World Telegram Corporation! IN a corner of the Case de Pans, Irene and Vernon Castle sat talking of the dpbut they were going to make the next night, a matter of grave concern, for they were obscure aliens and stranded. Papa Louis, the head waiter who had befriended them, interrupted abruptly. The Russian count, he said, wanted them to dance now, and never mind tomorrow night's uncertainties. The Russian count brought him more' business than any score of other patrons. They looked at the table silently. They were not dressed for exhibition dancing. Her gown had a train. He was not pressed. But she pinned up the train; he patted the wrinkles. She took his arm and they walked out upon ihe floor and into the history of their time. For it seemed as though the moment and the place had been Waiting for her to smile gravely and for him to nod. The Case de Paris had not liked any one else so well before. The count made them accept 300 francs in tribute. The Case de Paris, it appeared, could not encore them enough. Fame came swiftly. Paris cablpd the news of two phenomenal young dancers to New York. New York cabled inducements to them to leave Paris. And through the next six years they danced their way into international esteem. a tt tt BUT the triumph was peculiarly her own. Unintentionally, she made over the American girl. Hips vanished, because hers did not show. Hair was bobbed, because hers was. Plumpness went, out and litheness came in. And the dances which the Castles originated—the maxixe, the tango, and one-step —swept the country. Almost as swiftly as fame came to her. it left her. Castle was killed during the war; she danced on a while, was feted; starred in movies; married again; got a divorce; and when she was married a third time, to Major Frederic McLaughlin, a Chicago millionaire. nine years ago she renounced fame for good, to become the lady of her own manor and a memory. Her romance and Castle’s was an idyl that caught public fancy, their popularity a revelation of the public's sheepish worship of its current idols. Born in New Rochelle, N. Y., Irene Foote, the daughter of a doctor, made her debut there at a charity bazar, after she had studied Spanish dancing in Mexico. She met Castle in 1907 when each had a j minor role with Lew Fields in "The Girl Behind the Counter.” He, born in Norwich. England, educated to be an electrical engineer-, had come over with his sister, Coralie Blythe—he dropped the family name—found her to be a spectacular dancing partner, fell in love, and they were married in 1911, They wanted to see Paris, could not afford it, but went with hardly more than their passage money. tt a a TN a garret presently they were A wondering where the next meal would come from. Their small parts in a musical revue left them in debt to the management. “We were very little helped by the money we borrowed from the theater, for it invariably had to be turned over to our landlady,” she wrote later 'in a book called, "My Husband.” ‘‘Every time we paid the rent, however, we had one good dinner and a blowout. I can rpmember Vernon buying me a petticoat and hat with one of our rolls of borrowed money. “We had admired them both on our way to and from rehearsals, and I had looked so- long and hungrily at the black and white striped petticoat costing 19 francs that, though we could ill afford it-, Vernon insisted on buying it for me even before we paid the rent.” A little while after that, her book tells, their days were even darker. “We figured we could hold out four days more if we lived on po-

It was then that Papa Louis in the Case de Paris showed them the way to a few francs and the path to SI,OOO a day. a a a r I ‘'HEY came on to New York, A and ’ Sunshine Girl” }n 1910 made them town talk. Their dancing, after the long years of the waltz and two-step, stirred a furor of interest. Every one wanted to learn the new steps. Here, first, then up and down the country. Ballroom dancing, in the Castle style, became a craze. So with a fanfare of publicity they opened "Castle House” at 24 East Forty-sixth street, first dancing place in town to which debutantes and their chaperons went to learn the modern ballroom ; steps. Society beamed on them. Mrs. August Belmont, Mrs. Archer Huntington and Mrs. Percy R. Turnure were hostesses. Baron and Baroness de Meyer and Gouverneur Morris were there. The opening night proceeds were contributed to the committee of mercy for the Belgian relief fund. Then they spun from pinnacle to pinnacle of popularity. They danced before the king and queen in Buckingham palace. They made whirlwind tours across the counj try. They starred in ‘‘Watch Your Step.” They made ‘‘the Castle i Walk” a pleasant novelty wherever young people danced. Even I the critics forgot the time she : tried to sing. h n THEIR country place at Manhasset, L. 1., was a rendezvous for interesting New Yorkers; she liked dogs and horses; he went in for polo and yachting. They seemed safely beyond the range of the alarums echoing from Flanders. It was he who ended the illusion. He decided to enlist in the British Royal Naval Flying Corps. Broadway whooped a typically vociferous goodby. The formalities came off at the Hippodrome under the Dillingham regime. The 'place was so crowded that spectators' chairs were jammed into the orchestra pit and 400 of them were put on the stage. .John Philip Sousa led his band. Mme. Julia Culp sang. Miss Kathleen Parlow played the violin. The Castles danced until the crowd's applause was a storm—danced a polka maxixe, waltz, fox trot, tango and one-step. He went to England, to the front, and into action.

cited that I didn’t notice anything. •'Suddenly, his machine tipped over sideways and downward and he started spinning like a top. ‘I knew I had hit him. He fell right through some clouds and I lost sight of him forever. "I don't like killing things, but I certainly saw red that time. Gee, I was excited.” It was back in America, though, over a peaceful air field that he flew the last time. He had come to Ft. Worth, Tex., an instructor, and there as he nosed his plane suddenly on Feb. 15, 1918, to avoid a collision with a student pilot, he crashed to his death. Mrs. Castle did not take another dancing partner. But she kept on in the movies and in 1922 starred in the Hodkinson photoplay, "French Heels.” Ward Crane was her leading man and the other principals were Charles Gerard. Howard Truesdale and Thomas Murray. a tt tt SHE kept her beauty, too, for it was in that year, ten years ago that Neysa McMein chose her as one of the twelve most beautiful women in America. Beside her, the artist enshrined Alice Joyce, Ethel Barrymore, Mrs. Ludwig Hoyt, Christine Normand.' Lady Ribblesdale, Winifred Lenihan. Michael Strange, Mary Pickford, Dolores of the Follies. Mrs. Angier B. Duke and Bebe Huban. "What this country needs,” said Miss McMein after she painted a portrait of her, “is more women A w : ho look like Irene Castle. She was married in the Little Church Around the Corner to Robert E. Treman of Ithaca, in

1919; got a Paris divorce decree from him in 1923, and four months later was married in Chicago to Major McLaughlin, who took her to the Orient on their honeymoon. a u n THEY have two daughters now and live on the estate, Columbus Healys, near Chicago, ivhere she can have all the dogs and horses she wants; and that is many, for raising animals has always been her hobby. Nowadays when she gets into the news it is .seldom as heroine of any drama save a battle to protect dumb animals, and for them she seems willing to go to any extreme of inconvenience. In her latest exploits, she ■merged from the manor to represent the Anti-Cruelty Society in a case against an Illinois farmer. . He said he fed his pigs “the best garbage in Evanston." But she had him arrested for cruelty.

ILLINOIS MINE PEACE THOUGHT MUCH NEARER Agreement Reached on Pay Scale in Central Zone, Report. By Unit cd Press * EDWARDSVILLE. 111., Oct. 7. Hopes were high today that peace may be nearing in the bitter, bloody labor dispute that has wracked Illinois coal fields for weeks. Announcement was made here by coal mine operators, who have been negotiating with the Progressive Miners of America, that a wage scale has been agreed on which will allow operations to be resumed in central and northern sections of the state. Details of the agreement were lacking, except that it would provide a basic daily wake scale of $5. If approved, the contract would send 5.000 miners back to work in this area, and open the way for reemployment of 20.000 idle miners in central and northern fields. Provisions sos the contract are believed similar in many respects to that signed by the United Mine Workers of America which enabled mines in the southern part of the . state to reopen. The progressive union was formed I by miners, who seceded from the : United Mine Workers in protest j over the $5 scale negotiated by offi- | cers of that union. The new labor group demanded continuance of the old scale of $6.10 daily. General acceptance of the agreement bv operators would end the turmoil that hag kept mine communities at fever pitch for weeks. Strike Cancels Game Bp United Press KINCAID, 111., Oct. 7.—The children’s school strike in sympathy with that of their coal miner faters today brought cancellation of Kincaid high school's scheduled football game with Cathedral high of Springfield. Nearly all members of the football team are out on strike, which was called because the school is being heated with coal purchased from a mine operating on the wage scale which local miners are fighting.
