the the FEBRUARY 12, 1931 THE MONIGOMERY ADVERTISER Constructive Fearless Independent NINE COP SAYS MISSING WIDOW IS FIANCEE Patrolman Tells His Superiors Others Sought Share In Her Fortune NEW YORK, Feb. (P -Handsome George Wandling, most comely cop on the sidewalks of New York, wept today announced that young and wealthy widow, strangely missing, was to have been his bride this Spring. The patrolman, who tramps a beat on Columbus Avenue, notified his superiors yesterday that Mrs. Imogene Stella, 36, had vanished. He believed racketeers had kidnaped her.

The jaunty bluecoat, wearing a $1,400 ring with a pigeon blood stone which he said was a Christmas gift from the widow, told detectives he was the chief beneficiary in her will. "Others seeking to share in her fortune sought to have her change it," he said, because he was "only a cop." "The last I saw of her," he said, "was at her home last Tuesday after we had driven around in her automobile to a number of her properties where she had collected about $900 rents." Wandling, called the "Adonis of the police force," figured in the headlines two years ago when the Court of Appeals upheld an annulment of his marriage to Claire Sugg, daughter of Nigholas Sugg of Buffalo. A lower court said that he went through a ceremony with Miss Sugg before he had been divorced legally from his first wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Frances McVitty, of Chicago. Mrs.

McVitty, known as Frances Ingraham, sang her way to acclaim as a contralto at the Metropolitan Opera House. A' few weeks later Wandling lost anhad brought against George McCauley Court judge dismissed a $100,000 co suit he other round in court when Supreme of Ridgewood, N. whom he accused of alienating the affections of Miss Sugg. Pope's Talks Will Be Radio Feature VATICAN CITY, Feb. noted world figures today had put the polishing touches on the work in which they will combine tomorrow to add another line to history in the opening of the Vatican City Radio Station.

While Pope Pius prepared the two world speeches from which the he will station send and around from the Pontifical Academy tomorrow afternoon, Senator Marconi, pioneer developer of wireless, made final tests at the station, which will send the Pope's voice to millions of persons for the first time in history. Pope Pius's opening talk, which will officially inaugurate the station on the ninth anniversary of his coronation, is scheduled at 9:45 a.m. (Montgomery time). The second talk at the academy will be at 10:15 a.m. Translations of the two addresses, the first from Latin and the second a short one in Italian, will be broadcast at 1 p.m.

The Pope today celebrated second anniversary of the signing of the Lateran treaties, which restored accord between the Papacy and the Kingdom of Italy. He received his sister and members of the Roman aristocracy who presented him with a painting of St, Theresa. After working in the station until late last night, Senator Marconi spent practically all today before the complicated machinery, which fills five rooms. Although assisted by Father Ulderic GianFrancheschi, director of the station, and others, he made the final tests himself. Marconi communicated with stations in America and in more remote parts of the world.

Later, he received, many messages saying Station came through clearly and strongly. Translation of the Pope's addresses Into English, French, Italian, German and Spanish will involve almost as much work for the scholars as the recent encyclical on marriage, because of the shortness of time. Next Christmas Toys May Be Useless Until Swimming Time Comes NEW YORK, Feb. Mother-may-I-go-out-to-swim wim motif looms on the Christmas toy horizon. At the toy fair, where styles in playWinings were put on display today 10 months in advance of the Christmas season for the benefit of dealers, sea toys are in gay prominence.

While Mama swims she may park the baby in an unsinkable water carriagea sort of marine walker which takes Junior for a ride when he gets above his waist. There are 1931 sea monster designs on rubber pontoons which can be pedaled through the waves, and deep sea bicycles which, also propelled by pedals, dive under water. For landlubbing youngsters there are scooter skates, an invention even more menacing to pedestrians than straight scooters, now high outmoded. The scooter skate goes on one foot--a sort of rubber-tired roller skate. More than a hundred thousand toys of one sort or another are displayed at the toy fair, which is spread among several hotels in the wholesale toy district in New York's West Thirties.

The fair, comparable to the famous trade fairs of Europe, sets the trend for the holiday trade. Marijuana Prohibition Becomes Law In State Gov. Miller yesterday signed House Bill No. 29, thus enacting into law the prohibiting of the sale, possession, bartering or giving away in Alabama, cigarets, cigars or tobacco in which there is a mixture of the drug Cannabis Indica, commonly known as mariguana, or the derivatives thereof. Cannabis Indica, or Mariguana is a narcotic, it is claimed, and highly injurlous.

Chaplin Refuses Large Sum To Talk Over Radio NEW YORK, Feb. 11-(A)-Charlie Chaplin said today he had refused an offer of $50,000 for a series of sevenminute radio talks. Because he has stuck to silence in pictures, he said, he "wouldn't for a million dollars" grow vocal over the air. He has made one commercial radio appearance, four years ago.

"He had a gravy train and didn't know it," she remarked. Willis at first declined to talk with newspaper reporters as he stepped from the train but later talked volubly.

"She promised me money and property and failed to give me anything," he declared. "She also said at the outset of our marriage that none of her six married children would ever be around to worry us.

SPANISH BUILDINGS GUARDED BY POLICE Troops Held Under Arms As Republican Groups Celebrate Anniversary MADRID, Feb. were held under arms in their barracks today in case they should be needed to put down disorders as Republican groups celebrated the anniversary of the proclamation of the first Spanish Republic in 1873.

NICARAGUAN REBELS HAVE MODERN ARMS State Officials Are Alarmed By Resumption Of Revolution In Latin Republic WASHINGTON, Feb. concerned over the resumption of insurgent activities in Nicaragua, officials here and in the Latin American republic have been presented with another disturbing element by an increase in the outlaws' supplies of arms and ammunitions. Officially described as "one of the most disturbing aspects of the present situation" in Nicaragua, the appearance of modern automatic weapons and an apparent good supply of ammunition in the hands of the insurgents is a complete mystery to American authorities. The source of the increase was said by them to be "not definitely known." The supplies include machine guns, as indicated by recent encounters with United States marines stationed in the republic. This was declared by officials to be in distinct contrast with their previous situation when they were understood to be short of weapons and ammunition.

Secretary Stimson appeared tonight to be the single high government official to whom the others looked for any comment on the Nicaraguan situation. The secretary has indicated he expected to make a statement on American military policy with regard to Nicaragua if called upon for testimony by the Senate Foreign Relations committee. He said today, however, he had not been asked to appear. In the event he is not summoned, Stimson said he would forward to the Senate the state department documents on the relations of the United States with Nicaragua which were asked by a resolution by Senator Johnson (R), California. A new element in relations between the two nations, in the form of the survey now being made for the proposed Atlantic-to-Pacific canal across Nicaragua, has resulted in considerable speculation in unofficial circles as to the nature of the statement on military policy which the Secretary contemplated before the Senate committee.

The general belief was that it would include some plan for the final extermination of the insurgent forces. Secretary Hurley, whose war department engineering corps is making the canal survey, has made known the engineers have not been troubled by them. The insurgent menace is considered by officials here to be an important factor for consideration in the event work on a canal should eventually begin. It was believed any plan advanced for their extermination would contemplate a campaign by the Nicaraguan National Guard and not by marines, who assist in training and officering the local forces. As a former Secretary of War, Stimson has been able to consider the Nicaraguan situation from more of a military viewpoint than his recent predecessors.

Although considered an authority on Nicaraguan and colonial matters himself, the Secretary recently summoned to Washington the two Government officers more intimately acquainted with the situation than any others--American Minister Matthew E. Hanna at Manacua and Brigadier General Douglas McDougal, who has been in charge of the marine contingent in the Republic. The Secretary sought extensive information from these officers on all phases of conditions the Republic with a view to meeting any situation which might arise. Host Immunized Against Typhoid Approximately one-ninth of the entire population of the State was immunized last year against typhoid through treatments supplied by the laboratories of the State Health Department, it was revealed yesterday in a statistical summary of the work of the laboratories. L.

C. Havens, director of the State Laboratories, stated that typhoid vaccine sufficient to immunize 275,000 persons was issued from the laboratories. Moreover the laboratories sent out diphtheria toxoid as a protection against diphtheria in a sufficient quantity to immunize 000 children. The laboratories, he said, examined 282,418 specimens involving 609,890 tests and examinations. This work represented an increase of 16 per cent over the work required for 1929.

The laboratories issued 1,785 anti-rabies treatments of which 1,305 were to patients not able to pay, and 28,941 amsilver nitrate solution were distributed. Heart Disease Fatal To Vaudeville Actor LOS ANGELES, Feb. Phillips, 39, well known vaudeville actor, died unexpectedly on a motion picture set today while playing his first film role. Death resulted from heart disease. He was enacting an important character role in a new film starring Joan Crawford.

Phillips came here about six weeks ago from New York. He was accompanied by Mrs. Phillips and their 12-year-old son, Norman, Jr. In vaudeville the family appeared for many years as "Mr. and Mrs.

Norman Phillips and Norman, Jr." Wickersham Suggested As Republican Nominee W. WASHINGTON, Feb. (P) George Wickersham was proposed today anti-prohibition Democrat as the Republican presidential nominee in 1932. The chairman of the law enforcement commission was suggested by Representative Black of New York, who said in a House speech that President Hoover's efforts "to appoint a commission to find an alibi on prohibition failed." "The Republican party must find substitute for Hoover in 1932," he said. adding amid laughter: "let me recommend Mr.

Wickersham." Black urged the Democratic National committee at its Washington meeting on March 5. to issue a "clear cut liberal statement" making prohibition the issue in the forthcoming Presidential campaign. Alleged Rum Runner Sought For Shooting HICKMAN, Feb. of three states were assisting Federal authorities tonight in a wide search for Earl Dill of Hickman, alleged rum runner who is charged with having shot and wounded Prohibition Agent Dowland of the Memphis office in a gun battle near Dresden, Tenn. Officers believe Dill was wounded also and is in hiding.

Henry Wood, also of Hickman, is under arrest in the Morrison and Baker Hospital here with wound in his hip. He is being held for Federal authorities. Wood admits, officers said, he was in the car with Dill and that Prohibition Agent Sullivan shot him in the gun fight when both escaped, but he denies he had paything to do with the load of liquor or that he had a gun on him.

HOUSE TO VOTE ON WAR CASH MONDAY Plans For Full Payment Of Face Value Of Bonus Certificates Creates Warm Disputes WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-(AP)-The way was cleared today for final House action next Monday on legislation to give war veterans more cash on their service certificates.

The Ways and Means Committee narrowed consideration today to two proposals, one of which it is expected to approve tomorrow. The choice between increasing loans by approximately $500,000,000 as advocated by Representative Bacharach, (R) New Jersey, and the proposal by Representative Fish, (R), New York to pay off one-fourth of the face value of the certificates at a cost of about 000,000. House leaders were ready today to bring up either plan under suspension of rules on Monday, shutting off extended debate and amendments. At the same time, the leaders expect action on a $12,500,000 hospital bill to increase facilities for caring for ill veterans. The possibility also was seen of action on a pension bill to provide allowances for widows and orphans at an estimated cost of $18,000,000 the first year.

Swift action also was forecast on the veterans' payment bill. Representative Bacharach consulted today with Senator Morrow, (R), New Jersey. Bacharach announced last week his loan proposal would meet approval of both parties in the Senate. By successive notes the way and means committee eliminated the Brookhart--Patman proposal to pay off the adjusted compensation certificates in full at a cost of about the Garner bill to pay the base compensation with an additional 25 per cent, plus four per cent interest, at a total estimated at and a modification of the Garner plan, to pay the present value of the certificates at a total of about $1,728,779,000. The pension bill, introduced today by Chairman Johnson of the veterans committee, would provide $20 a month to widows and $6 a month for each dependent orphan, without regard to whether death was caused by service connection.

Paper Will Be Closed Until Editor Returns HAVANA, Feb. E. Hicks, publisher of The Havana American, stated tonight in a message from Florida that the paper would remain closed unti' John T. Wilford, its deported editor, returned to guide its destinies. Publication of The Havana American was suspended by the Cuban Government more than a month ago, and an order was issued for the deportation of Wilford.

He left the country before the papers were served on him. Simultaneously with the arrival of Hicks in Cuba last Saturday, permission was granted through a presidential decree for the reopening of The Havana American, with the restriction that Wilford's name was not to, appear in the masthead. Hopes Fade For Safety Of Michigan Fisherman CROSS VILLAGE, Feb. Hopes that George Kruskie, missing Cross Village fisherman, is safe at White Shoals Light dimmed tonight with the assertion by experienced fishermen that the ice field on which he drifted out Into the lake must have broken up far from shore at a point east of Beaver Island. In that case, they say, Kruskle WAS drowned while attempting to reach shore.

Six men started today from Cross Village in a second attempt to reach White Shoals Light. They reached Crane Island and planned to spend the night there. The first expedition of 18 men failed to reach the light because of ice which was too thin to hold their weight and too thick for navigation, Y. M. C.

A. GAMES FAST AND CLOSE Two Extra Periods Played In Tilt Between New York Life And Friendly Five Fast and interesting basketball was seen on the floor last night in the Independent League games. The first tilt in which the New York Life boys faced the Friendly Five, was the real thriller on the night's program, the insurance boys finally emerging the victors only after two extra periods of three minutes each had been played. Close guarding featured throughout. Carroll and Lutz led the Insurance crew in scoring with seven points each.

Lutz's foul goal in the last minute proved the margin of victory, although Carroll sank 8 two pointer just as the whistle blew. Truby and Lowery shared scoring honors for Rubins with eight points each. The second game was even closer than the first, the Whippets nosing out Alex Rice by one point. However, the game was slow throughout, both teams missing frequent and showing signs of staleness. Adams and Sharpless played best for the Whippets and H.

Williams and T. Williams starred for Alex Rice. In the last game, the Red Shirts proved too much for the Woodmen, ringing goals with ease and completely running away from their weaker opponents. Scoring honors for the Red Shirts were about even with Walker and Price leading the pack with 16 and 14 points respectively. Ridolphi was high point man for the Woodmen with 6 points.

Dr. Albert Einstein told astronomers and physicists here today the secret of the universe is wrapped up in the red shift of distant nebulae. For more than an hour he discussed possibilities of the shape of the universe to replace his discarded Einsteinian Universe. The meeting was held at the Mount Wilson Laboratory and attended by the Carnegie Institution of Washington's astronomers who discovered this red shift, Dr. Edwin C.

Hubble and Dr. Walter S. Adams. "The red shift of distant nebulae has smashed my old construction hammer blow," said Einstein, swinging down his hand to illustrate. "The red shift is still a mystery." "The only possibility is to start with a static universe lasting a while and then becoming unstable and expansion starting, but no man would believe this." This red shift has been analyzed by Dr.

Hubble as the speed of distant island universes receding from the earth, some at 7,200 miles second. Based upon this observation, Dr. Richard Chace Toll- Alfred Smith Seeks To Cure Rheumatic Trouble NEW YORK, Feb. 11-(P)-Former Gov. Alfred E.

"A theory of an expanding universe," said Einstein, "at the rate figured from apparent velocities of recession of nebulae would give too short a life to the great unoverse. It would only be ten thousand million years old, which is altogether too short a time. By that theory it would have started from a small densation of matter at that tine." He said the red shift may be interpreted as the light quanta getting redder by losing energy as they go long distances. "But no man can get a picture of how this happens," he said.

"I don't know the answer," said Einstein. Dr. Adams said the proposed 200-inch mirror telescope to be installed in Southern California within four years might bring these solutions.

-Less than 24 hours after Policeman Henry P. Kounse was killed in a gunfight near East Peoria, Gale McDaniels, notorious bank robber and jail breaker, pleaded guilty to the slaying today and was given a life sentence.
