Fear of Actress
Hastens Marriage
Miss Terry and Broker
Wed Undisturbed by
s'Dresden China CirI''

The marriage Of Miss Eugenia M.
Terry, daughter of Mrs. John D. Terry,
of 800 Central Park West, and Clifford
R. Hendrix, wealthy stock broker, took
place yesterday. But it was held at the
Calvary Baptist Church instead of at
the home of the bride, and the ceremony
was performed at o'clock instead of
6 o'clock.
Fearing that Maud Ceballos, known
on the musical comedy stage as Mona
Desmond, who on Thursday brought a
100000 breach of promise suit against
Mr.. Hendrix, might try to upset the
plans, the family Of the bride resorted
to subterfuge.
Announcement was purposely made
in the newspapers that the wedding
would be at o'clock at 300 Central
Park West. But at 6 o'clock Miss Terry
had become Mrs. Clifford r. Hendrix
and had already started on her honey
moon in a limousine. 1t was said at
the brides home last night that the
precautions were unnecessary, as the
'Dresden China Girl" as Miss Ceballos
is known, did not present herself at the
Terry apartment.
Mr.. Hendrix drove up to the Terry
home shortly before o'clock and took
Miss Terry and her mother to the
church. where the ceremony was

Nitti s Downfall
Planned in Huly
Catholics Incensed at
Leniency Sho,ur, BY
Premier to Socialists

ROME, May 7-Opinion in Parlia-
mentary circles is that Premier Nitti
is running the risk Of being over
thrown. This is said to be due to the
decision of the Catholic party to vote
against the Premier, members of the
party considering that he showed weak
ness in his lenient attitude toward
the Socialists during the recent dis
turbanccs in Northern Italy.
The leader of the Catholic party
said to-day: "If no agreement is
reached before vote is taken in the
Chamber of Deputies, Nitti's fall is
certain. In fact, all the Socialist Depu.
ties, numbering 1856, despite Nitti's
favoritism toward them, must vote
against him as a matter of principle.
Some may prefer to absent them
selves from the chamber rather than
to contribute to Nitti's fall, but a
greater number will vote. These. add
ed to the 100 Catholics and about 80
followers of Salandra (Antonio Salan-
dra, former Premier), who are immov-
able opponents of Premier Nitti, form
more than half the chamber. This end
is inevitable. 1t must come sooner or
later owing to the desire of Nitti 'to
run with the hare and hunt with the
hounds
1.-THE weakness Of the Cabinet to-
wards the Socialists lately has as
sumed almost the character Of surren-
der, which Is impossible for the othe.
parties to tolerate longer"

KETCHIKAN. Alaska, May 7. - The
story of what really happened at Hy-
der, Alaska, last week, when the United
States coast guard cutter Algonquin
was ordered to go there and put down
an uprising led by alien radicals, !"
was told here to-day by Captain Casey
Williams, of the launch Taku.
Captain Williams's launch was tied
up at the docks at Hyder the night
OF April 2S when the uprising" oc-
CURED. The population of that tiny
town-too small to be given even in
a crossroads census-was just awaken
ing from a long snowbound winter
There was still six feet of snow on
the level, but the warmth of spring
was IN the air and the population was
growing restless. Ships making their
way up the Portland Canal from the
ocean seventy-fve miles away had
brought reports of the ravages of pro-
comprising the majority of Hyder's
male population, responding to the
stimulus, recalled memories of wet
ter and happier days. They clapped
on their web shoes, climbed onto the
drifted snow and hit the trail over the
hills to the British Columbian mining
village of Stewart, where there are
telegraph and postoffces, but where
the visits of the Canadian Mounted
Police are so infrequent that it is pos
sible to obtain. now and then, a quart
or SO of liquor. Stewart lies just over
the line, less than twenty miles from
Hyder: What happened to the six men
there isn't part Of the story. Captain

PARIS, May (By The Associated

An investigation, based upon these

fact that the British are exporting
great quantities of raw material to
Germany, for which they are asking no
payment in money, but are taking man
ufactured articles in exchange.
Germany now is getting her iron ore
largely from Sweden under similar ar
rIangement, making her almost entirely
independent of France for raw mate

opened her big outlet for manufactures

Six on Spring Spree Mistaken
For Red Uprising i'm Alaska

Williams's narrative begins with the
return trip.
"The six men came back to Hyder
lit up like cathedrals," the captain
said "At the edge of the camp they
announced their presence in what was
once true frontier fashion, with a
threat to lick anything that walked
On two or more legs, wildcats preferred
Their challenge was punctuated with
revolver shots in the air.
What popuIacc there was left in
Hyder, not counting the six men, took
to shelter. The big six took posses
sion until the town marshal, awakened
from early evening slumbers, came out
to meet them. The marshal explained
blandly, in pourparlers held in the mid
die of the street, that if there were
any challenges to bloodshed going
around he was on hand to accept them
The six hastily explained that there
had been challenges but that they were
only part of the evenings entertain
ment, which was about over by this
time, and that it would be fine to let
bygones be bygones. They assured
him of their deep respect for him
and his authority. But the marshal
accepted their assurances with some
reserve and they were locked in the
hoosegow over night.
"And so you see that what was re-
ported down in Washington as a Red
uprising was really just red-eye up

a preliminary report of a compre-

land, Health Commissioner, with q
view to eliminating sanitary conditions
which constitute menace to health.
was made available yesterday for The
Tribune.
The survey, which was conducted bv
the Health Departments sanitary
bureau, with the cooperation of sani-
tary inspectors, food inspectors, pa
trolmen, nurses and physicians, shows
that the conditions affecting hundreds
Of thousands of tenants in Manhattan.
the Bronx and Brooklyn are such as to
foreshadow an unprecedented situation
next fall.
A total of 32,470 houses in the three
boroughs were inspected. In addition
to the families occupying apartments
IN these houses there were found a
total of $4,000 roomers, creating indie
scrlbable sanitary conditions by rea-
son of congestion due to increased
rentals.
Apartments Overcrowded
To avoid paying higher rents, two,
three and sometimes as many as five
families have crowded into apartments
formerly occupied by single family.
In other apartments families have
been forced to rent out rooms that to
assure sanitary habitation should never
have been given up. In some of the
apartments there we're as many room
ers as there were families. Houses
sheltering from one to 120 families
were listed.
The survey established the following
facts:
general lack Of necessary repairs.
In numerous apartments, arranged
and intended to be occupied by one
family, two or more families are
housed.
A general complaint throughout all
premises visited Of the increased and
increasing rents and failure Of land
lords to make repairs.
To assist in the payment Of increased
rents it has become customary to re-
sort to the expedient of taking in room
ers or boarders, with a consequent
overcrowding.
An unparalleled storage Of household
goods consequent upon the breaking
up Of families.
A migration Of families from the old
fashioned cold-water fats as their earn
ing capacity has increased, to the more
modern and up-to date apartments, the
families remaining taking over the va
cancies, with the result that in some
cases one family has extended to what
were formerly three apartments.
Wide Fear of Landlords
Public and private improvements are
being made which necessitate the
demolition Of tenements and dwellings
to make way for theaters, storage
| houses and other non-dwelling struc-
lures.
Numerous vacancies have been found
due in great part to lack Of repair.
Houses sold and tenants served with
notices to vacate.
"Wash" sales Of houses, with conse-
quent increases in rents.
Alteration Of dwellings for offices
lofts and light manufacturing.
Universal fear of landlords on the
part of tenants.
