DcLair, 82-ycar-old blind and wealthy farmer of OUeto, who eloped to Council Bluffs, yesterday with Mrs. Rachael Cameron, 69, of Summci'field, in order to escape a court order forbidding' their marriage in Kansas, was today threatened with a court fight to keep his bride.

DeLair's nephew and guardian, C. M. DcLair of Oketo, accom- expense, panied by Russell DeLair, son of the aged bridegroom, arrived in Omaha today with the avowed intention of annulling the marriage and taking the elderly elopers back to Kansas. Injunction Obtained. Twelve days ago, the nephew and son instigated court action at Summerfield, charging that David was incompetent and too old to marry.

An injunction was granted halting the marriage fifteen minutes before the ceremony was to begin. The nephew conferred with bounty authorities at Council Bluffs today about annulling the marriage and was told he would have to present the matter to the court. He left, presumably, to find an attorney. In the meantime, David DeLair made preparations to fight the action. He retained an Omaha lawyer.

"All we want is the right to live together in peace as companions for our few remaining years," he said. Prior to their marriage, the bridal couple went before a Council Bluffs attorney and signed a prenuptial contract providing neither should inherit the other's properhr. "They all thought my wife was marrying me for my money," Lair said, "when they see this contract they should realize that all we want is to be left alone." Polish Adventurer to Leave U. Will Not Press Claims of Lossei ROTARIANS MEET AT New York, Sept. UP) Sichofsky, who claims he is a Polish count and a blood relative cf the late Czar Nicholas of Russia, today withdrew his legal battle for a stay of deportation from the United States and announced that he would drop charges that he had been deprived of nearly $200,000 by prison and police officials in California.

Refused a request for a three months' lease from Ellis island because of an alien subject to deportation he was not eligible for bail, the Polish adventurer announced through his attorney he would leave the country immediately at his own Owns a "Gold Mine." Judge Francis G. Caffey offered to order Sichofsky detained at Ellis island two weeks longer to allow further investigation of his claims, but the stay was declined by his attorney. William Van Keegan. "My client is broken, nervously and physically, in health, by what he has endured," said Van Keegan. "If he cannot be released under bond to press his claims properly he will withdraw his application and make a present of the money he has lost to those who stole it from him." Sichofsky, said Van Keegan, possesses "$15,000 and a gold mine in Mexico," and would leave for abroad within a day or two at his own expense.

In court, Sichofsky said his correct name is Alexander Icolal Romanoff, and that he Is a son of the late Grand Duke Alexander. According to the papers filed in federal court last week through which ho obtained a habeas corpus writ for his temporary release from Ellis island. Sichofsky alleged that he lost $182,600 worth of securities through depradations of officials in the Los Angeles district attorney's office and Mr. Gannon of the state prison board. Securities These securities, he alleged, disappeared from a safe, deposit vault or were taken from him while he was serving a prison sentence.

A report from John P. Garrity, Inspector in charge of immigration at Los Angeles, dated July 26. and stating that at that time no definite information had been seem id regarding Sichofsky's was read at today's hearing. Garrity requested in the report that Sichofsky send copy of receipts which he claims to hold from the Los Angeles district attorney's office for the securities deposited there. He said he had been unable to "locate anyone in the.

district attorney's office who recalls the case."

Dr. ordered officials of the to cease operations except for a period of an hour a day when emergency repairs are necessary to streets already laid down after he had received a number of complaints from nearby residents, who said srrioke and dirt from the plant penetrated into their homes. Mayor Charles A.

Patterson an- however, property owners in the vicinity had agreed to allow the plant to remain open until it finished the one paving project which remains unfinished, on condition that it move its quarters before next year.

TO REBUILD PART OF HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION Work of constructing a base beneath the southeast corner of the senior high school building, Eighth and Wall streets, begun last week, may take considerable time, it was indicated at a meeting of the board of education last night. The building is sagging slightly at the corner. Following a suggestion two weeks ago that the building was settling, excavation work was begun and it was found that the foundation at that corner extended only fourteen inches beneath the surface, and was resting on soft clay. In order to find hard rock upon to reconstruct a base, workmen have excavated to a depth of fourteen feet, finding signs of slab rock.

Members of the school board voted to continue the work and reconstruct the entire foundation in that corner of the building. A discussion concerning the financial of the Stapleton school district, recently annexed as a part of Joplin, disclosed that a number of bills are outstanding. The financial condition of the district was referred to Haywood Scott, board attorney, for investigation, and to Carl Meyers for an audit. The board voted to obtain $20,000 additional insurance on the Irving school building, Twenty-sixth and Wall streets. Miscellaneous bills were allowed.

ARBUCKLE CHARGED WITH CRUELTY IN DIVORCE SUIT Los Angeles, Sept. UP) (Fatty) Arbuckle, former film comedian, today was sued for divorce on grounds of, desertion and cruelty. Mrs. Doris Arbuckle alleged her husband left her in May, 1928. A property settlement has been made.

They were married in May, 1925, and have no children. The action supersedes a suit filed last year based on similar charges. Mrs. Arbuckle, "whose name before hei' marriage was Doris Dean, is a motion picture actress. Joplin's musically-inclined younger generations have responded so enthusiastically to the introduction of a "melody-way" system of piano instruction in the public schools system that it was necessary last night for Mrs, Mildred W.

Spiva, supervisor of the plan, to appeal to the board of education for permission to engage assistants in the work. Mrs. Spiva planned to conduct classes in five schools, located in different sections of. the city, so that pupils in practically every building in thei system- could attend the classes before -and after school. Enrollment blanks were mailed 'out and a check yesterday revealed that at the West Central and Lafayette schools alone there were approximately 160' students signed up for the classes.

That number represents' almost the maximum that Mrs. Spiva could instruct in the rudimentary principles of piano-playing, and no check has been made at the Columbia, Emerson and McKinley buildings. "Melody-way" is a scheme for primary instruction in harmony and ptano for students of the first, second and third grades, in which they receive simple lessons on a cardboard keyboard, learn the scales and otherwise form a foundation for music study in later years. A charge of 10 qents a lesson is made for the course, which consists of eighteen hours of instruction. Since it is possible to teach a class of as many as twenty pupils at one time, the instruction can be offered at a nominal cost.

Similar instruction in violin is being planned by Miss Anna Helm, former music instructor in the schools here, but owing to the fact that each student must possess an instrument, the enrollment in her classes is not expected to be so large. FOUR BANDITS SOUGHT IN $8,000 K. C. ROBBERY Kansas City, Sept. -The entire city detective force was sent out tonight to round up the four bandits who took of the pay roll of Scars, Roebuck Co.

here this afternoon. The holdup this afternoon was accomplished in the lobby of the first floor of the Sears, Roebuck Company plant. More than 100 ployes who were returning from lunch crowded the lobby. Most of them were unaware a holdup' was occurring. George Mayo and Ryland Russell were waiting for an elevator in the lobby when the bandits approached and leveled pistols at them.

Musical entertainment at the meeting was furnished by McDow, blind accordion player, who sang and played several selections.

Joe Kocher, a new member, was were the three speakers introduced, as was Bert Bell, a guest. About thirty members. were present. Source of Shell That Hit Garage Not Determined Webb City, Sept. have discovered no clows in thoir attempt to determine the sourco of a 75 mm.

shell which crashed through the roof of a garage at the residence of George Hawkins, 329 South Hall street, early this morning. The shell, three Inches in diameter, ten inches long and weighing about ten pounds, burled itself in the dirt floor after penetrating the roof. It was still warm when Chief of Police J. W. Harrison went to the residence in response to a call.

Firemen believe the shell had been empty, and that a stick of dynamite had been placed under it. The burned powder odor in the garage was similar to that caused by a burnt dynamite fuse, they said. Other theories advanced were that the shell may have fallen from an airplane or was thrown from a tree by boys. Both theories have been discounted, however, since no airplane flew over the city this morning, and the shell was too heavy to be thrown. E.

R. Kepple of Cartervllle said he and his family heard a report near Cartervllle about the same time the shell is said to have struck the garage. He said he thought prospectors nearby were blasting.

Sept. one-day strike called last night by officials of the National Textile Workers' union in memory of Mrs. Emmn May Wiggins, 29- year-old unionist, slain Saturday by a mob which sought to prevent her and twenty-two others from attending a meeting arranged by textile strike leaders at Gastonia, failed today to bring about attendance of a large crowd for the mass demonstration planned, but several hundred persons gathered quietly in the village cemetery to join the woman's five children and her relatives at the funeral. Mrs.

Wiggins was buried with simple services, at which a Baptist minister officiated, three labor organizers spoke briefly and a young girl sang a union rallying song written by the dead "woman. Call Not Obeyed. Managers of the two of the largest mills in this Section said none of their employes had obeyed the strike call and Gastonia textile producers said no workers had walked out. of the plants in that city in response to the union request. Two police officers accompanied the crowd to the cemetery from the home of Mote Turner, one of Mrs.

Wiggins' companions, where the body had been kept, but they had no difficulty in preserving order along the route of the procession. Mill workers came to the windows of the buildings which were passed, removed their hats and then returned quickly to their occupations. Dewey Martin, local union organizer and one of the eight men arrested and later freed at Charlotte on charges of conspiracy to overthrow the government, of the Bessemer City chapter of the union, and C. D. Saylor, ah organizer, who was kidnaped by the mob September 9 and later arrested with Martin on the conspiracy charges, at the grave.

Each eulogized the Mrs. Wiggins, who made a trip to Washington some time ago to raise funds for the strikers. Labor union officials declined to discuss the apparently negligible results of their one-day strike call. Purdy, Sept. annual Barry county song convention will be held here Sunday, September 29.

DRINK ISSUE FIGURES IN MACDONALD VISIT Serving of Liquor by ISrltIsli Ambassador Regarded as Neutral Thing to Bo.

Washington, Sept. The wine cellar of the British embassy is expected to be called upon during the visit in Washington of Prime Minister MacDonald for any liquor which Ambassador Howard may choose to serve during the visit of the English statesman. While Sir Esme several months ago informed the members of the embassy staff he would not sign orders' for any more liquor, it is understood that the supply which the embassy had prior to that time is not yet exhausted. The general impression in diplomatic circles, which have speculated on whether Sir Esme would serve liquors during the visit of the prime minister, is that it would be the natural thing for him to do unless Mr. MacDonald should desire his trip while in the United States to be one without the use of liquor.

Reserve Supplies Used. Since Sir Esme indicated to the embassy staff he did not 'desire to have liquors imported under diplomatic immunity for the use of himself or his subordinates, at least one instance is known in which liquors were served from the previous supplies at an emabssy dinner. Preparations for the visit of the prime minister are proceeding by exchanges of telegrams between Mr. MacDonald and the state department, and the British- embassy. It was understood tonight that the program for the prime minister's stay in Washington would be announced as soon as possible, possibly within the next two or three days.

More than a score of invitations from all parts of the United States have been received by the embassy requesting the prime minister to make speeches or calls at various cities. The short time which Mr. MacDonald will spend in the United States, however, is likely to preclude his acceptance of any such engagements. FOREST FIRES ARE COMBATTED ALONG FAR FLUNG FRONT (Continued from page 1) dense fogs on the coast, relieved the situation materially. Prepare for Exodus.

Fire was reported burning on the outskirts of Yacolt and several outlying houses had been destroyed.

Other than the death of John Roe yesterday, there have been no fatalities. Back fires had created such a gap between the main fire and Estacada, that officials withdrew many fire fighters and sent them to a new blaze six miles south of Bridal Veil, which has covered 100 acres near the Cameron- Hodge mill and threatened the Bull Run reserve, main source of Portland water supply.

The La Dee district fire, which for a time threatened Estacada yesterday, burned down six homes, a school house, a hotel and a logging camp, today threatened another communities as it advanced slowly toward Currinsvllle, a tiny hamlet, consisting of a gas station, a store and a few homes.
