Actress Who Wrecked ( . Throne III Less Than a
 Month; Identity Secret

PARIS, Feb. 12-Mademoiselle Gaby Deslys, noted French singer and dancer, died here last evening, after an illness of less than month
 Known throughout the world as the woman who dethroned King, Mademoiselle Deslys was a reigning favorite on the European stage, and in America for many years.

 Less than year ago the dancer returned from America with her theatrical partner, Harry Pilcer of New York, to fill return engage ment at the Folies Bergere in Paris. Three weeks ago she was taken to her apartments here after a perform ance at the Folies. and since that time her condition grew steadily worse.
 Mademoiselle Deslys at one time is said to have possessed more gowns than any other woman in the world Creations of Paul Poiret. the Paris designer, were often first worn by the actress. to advertise them. During the war the actress spent much of her time in war work. She was ''marraine" for a French infaa try regiment and her song Mes Poilus, Mes Fis" was popularized throughout France after. she had first sung it in vaudeville

Governor Edwards, Elected on Wet Platform, Lead
 ing Attack on Drys

TRENTON, N. J., Feb. '12,-The battle in New Jersey, led by Govern or Edward I. Edwards, for state rights as against constitutional pro hibition is being fought along two lines: An effort to induce the legis- lature to contest the validity of the 18th amendment in the nited States Supreme Court and to enact state law permitting the sale in New Jer sey of beverages containing more than one-half of one per cent of al- cohol. Interest in the proceedings has become national in its scope.
 Steps necessary to fight the proh- bition amendment in the Supreme Court have been considered in con ferences between the new Governor and the state attorney general Two bills have been introduced in the legislature, one to permit the sale of beverages with four per cent of alcohol content and the other five per cent.
 Governor Edwards was elected on an issue of personal liberty" He gave a pledge in his campaign to in- sist the right of the people of New Jersey to say how they should live. His attempt to fulfill that pledge has made this state one of the few remaining battlegrounds for the right of a man to buy drink and has attracted attention throughout the country
 The Governor, in attempting to assert and maintain the sovereign rights of the state as against fed eral constitutional prohibition, must deal with legislature controlled by the Republican party while he is a Democrat New Jersey not only failed to ratify the federal prohibition amendment, together with Rhode Island and Connecticut, but went further than sany other state in the Union and it's legislature absolutely rejected the amendment The Gov ernor has urged the legislature to refrain in its present session from now giving it's ratification.
 Although Governor Edwards holds liberal personal views concerning the use of intoxicants, his friends say that he has not taken a drink of intoxicating liquor in more than 30 years, upon advice of his physi- clan. led a

PRESIDENT TO ASK SUSPENSION
 OF STRIKE WRIT
With Country Facing Nation Wide Railroad Strike, Wl- son Will Confer With the Brotherhood Chiefs-Out- look for Averting Walkout in Doubt.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-Adminis. tration leaders were in 8 hopeful mood today that a nationwide rail- road strike would be averted, al. though brotherhood chiefs said only granting of the demands of the 100000 railroad workers could pre- vent the walkout.
 President Wilson will confer per. sonally tomorrow with three of the brotherhood chiefs, to discuss the wage demands, it was announced at the White House.
 It was not generally believed in Washington that the government will make any concessions to the rail- road men, since the strike, Railroad Director Hines declares, would be a direct violation of the workers pledges.
 Director Hines conferred with rail- road union chiefs last night for three hours, but said he was unable to reach an agreement with them. It was afterward that he told news papermen that the governments deci- sion would be ''up to President Will son" s. sss4 ...a.. u ss.s.-s.s...
 The unions are outspoken in their desire to see the question settled by the President.
 Meanwhile active preparations were made at Detroit. where the strike order originated, to have the walkout set for February IT take place on schedule Members of the Maintenance and Way and Shop La. borers brotherhood, would be the first to walk out, it was said. Fifteen divisional points have been selected in the United States from which the strike will be directed. Executive officers in charge of each district have been named. General headquar- ters for the strike will be maintained at Detroit.
