PICKFORD DIVORCE IS
BEING PROBED AT RENO
Mary's Marriage to Doug. Fairbanks
Prompts Deputy Attorney Gen
eral to Investigate.

RENO, New, April MARY Pick
fords divorce from Owen Moore Is
under investigation here. The in
quiry into the film stars suit was be-
gun today by Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Robert Richards.
The action was begun after meet
ing OF the Washoe County Bar Asso-
citation, when resolutions were passed
calling upon the attorney general to
investigate the divorce proceedings at
Minden on March .. when. after a
brief hearing, Mary Pickford was
granted a divorce from owen Moore
on the grounds OF desertion.
According to reports the resolution
was later stricken from the records
and a motion to appoint a committee
to Investigate all "short term" di-
vorces in the State was substituted.
1t is understood that the investiga-
ton was the direct result of Miss
Pickford's marriage to Douglas Fair
banks in California Sunday. the cere-
mony having drawn attention to the
rather hurried manner in which the
decree was granted.

n. Y.FACES FAMINE
FROM DOCK STRIKE
Major Portion of City's Fresh
Foodstuffs Handled by Rail-
roads Affected.

NEW YORK. April 2.-The strike
Of marine workers on ferries. tugs,
lighters. and other floating equip
ment OF all railroads operating In the
port Of New York assumed a more
serious aspect today. with the posi-
bility that the city's supply of fresh
.foodstuffs may be cut off, -
At least 30 per cent of the food
entering the city, IL is estimated,
is handled by railroads affected by
the strike. Estimates place the sup
ply of fresh foodstuffs on hand as
sufficient to last seven days. and a
continuation OF the strike beyond a
seven-day period, 1t is feared, would
be attended by serious consequences.
As yet. the strike has only partly
crippled harbor transportation. Pfac-
.tfcally all lines are maintaining some
degree of service, and a few are en-
tireIy unaffected by the strike.
Leaders of the marine workers
union, however, predict the strike will
spread until all hahbor shipping is
tied up. Union officials declare 5000
harbor workers already are on strike
and that 4 900 others will be involved
The strike is the first against the
railroads since they were returned to
private control by the Government
The cause of the strike assigned by
union leaders is the sale of seven
lighters by the Erie Railroad to a
private concernr and the refusal of
the new owners to grant the men an
eight-hour day.
Although no trouble has attended
the strike thus far. police reserves
are on guard at several ferry land
ings and other points along the har-
Dor.

Senator johnson arrived series OF
cheers shook the rafters.
The candidate was introduced by
former. State Senator Robert ID. Law
son, johnson candidate for delegate
TO the national convention from the
Ninth Congressional district.
Two Leading Issues.
Senator johnson. in the course OF
his address, emphasized what he be-
1ieves will be the two leading issues
of the Presidential campaigp-the
League of Nations and the cost OF
living.
: Senator Johnson, in his Carnegie
Hall speech yesterday, criticised the
New York State primary law, declar-
ing 1t to be a disgrace to the Empire
State and suggesting that II be
amended so that the voters will have
an opportunity not only to express
their choice of individuals. but also
to pass on laws. He said:
.'Go to the primaries. My appeal
to you is not that you shall regis
ter your vote for a particular person
but that you register your VIII
against those who by sharp practices
would deprive you OF the right 70
register your will at all. You should
mot supinely permit any organization
to select your delegates. IL you DO
you are forgetting your rights as
American citizens. .

acihively beat the political corpora

tempt for persons who are first on
one side of the League of Nations
and then on the other. He added:
!. These persons run with the hare
and hunt with the hounds. There
lis one candidate in particular who
!veers with the wind on certain ques-
ltions." -" . ~
Senator johnson said afterward he
INTENDED this as specific reference
TO Herbert Hoover.
The speaker said he deemed 1t un-
wise to curb any minority acting
within the law. He added:
THAT minority Of today may be
a majority Of tomorrow"
This he applied to the right of free
,assemblage which. he said, must be
accorded to- all persons impartially.
The campaigner touched on the
subjects of the free press, law. and
order, and profiteers. He said:
"Whiie despise a profiteer. also
hold in contempt a patrioteer who
hides behind the American flag"

MEET MT. PLEASANT
High School Quintet Has Hard Bat
tie for Next Week.

The Alma high school basket ball
team will meet one Of its strongest
opponents of the present season this
coming week, when the Mt. Pleasant
high school five is played.
1t is not certain as yet whether the
game Will be played in Mt. Pleasant
or in Alma, as there has been some
question as to whether or not the
Mt. Pleasant five could secure the
Normal gymnasium for use on
Wednesday evening. If the gym
nasium cannot be procured, the game
undoubtedly will be transferred and
played in Alma.
The locals are determined to hand
the Normal Town lads humping by
way of revenge for the football de-
feat of last fall. The Alma five also
sees splendid chance to practically
cinch the honors of this part of the
state by a victory. The game will
not be an easy one, it is certain as
the Mt. Pleasant quintet has been
displaying some rare form, and is
confident of it's ability to down Null
Inns cagers. The Alma five is an ex-
ceptionally strong one this year, but
the same is true of the Mt. Pleasant
quintet, and the game will be battle
royal.
