BARRETT URGES LEAGUE
] OF AMERICAN PEOPLES
Former an-American Union Di-
rector Outlines His at
New York.

An outline of the proposed organi-
cation of an unofficial American
association. or league of the Ameri-
can peoples. was given by John Bar
rett, former director of the Pam
American Union, before group of
United States and South American
representa- tives at New York Sunday.
.se plan contemplates cooperation.
free from political and government
control, along cultural and social
rather than commercial lines. 1t is
fntended to provide understanding and
P@neral intercourse along pan-Amer-
team lines.
AS result of the conference it was
decided to select a representative COM
mittee of men from both North and
South America to study further the
project, make an estimate of probable
membership and also of organization
expenses. which will be met solely by
philanthropic contributions of those
interested and by small dues. That
much could be expected in this respect
was shown by the fact that a test of
the interest of the rank and file of
men and women in the project had
been made through circulars sent out
to nearly 10000 persons distributed
throughout the Americas, and over 60
per cent had replied approvingly, it is
said.

Flat Tires.

l rode with Johnson in the
rain, in his new ffty-horsepower
| vain. The rain was pouring
down, gadzooks! The road was
! crossed by running brooks. But
we were snug and dry inside,
and carried smiles three cubits
! wide. And then, kerplunk, tire
went fiat; and Johnson merely
sighed tk..reat. And then he left
! his cozy seat and sloshed around
on squirting feet. "You stay"
he said, lust where you are; III
do the fussing with the car"
And out there in the tempest
wild he toiled around. and still
he smiled. He seemed to think
his labors fun, and whistled
Johnnie, Get Your Gun" And
when he'd changed the rubber
tire, he climbed in from the rain
and mire, and grasped the costly
steering wheel, as cheerful as
,ocoed eel. "Ods fish," l said, "a
saint YOU are! Were | COM
PEELED to leave my car and tinker
round it in the wet, my language
would be blue, you bet!' And
Johnson heaved a smile at me :;
I've lived for many years. said
he: ''and | have known my ups
and downs, and wilted meath
misfortunc's frowns. Eve found
when things were going wrong,
it braces one to shed a song; IN
times of sorrow and despair it
doesn't help me out to swear.

Woman Testifies to
Bigamy Settlement
AT Trial Of Kilroe
One of Three Alleged Wives
of Napoleon A. Bourasse
Says Agreement Followed
Interview With Prosecutor

Mrs. Helen Montrose st. Marie Bou-
rasse, motion picture actress, who was
one of the three women known as the
wives of Napoleon A. Bourasse, stock
broker. was witness yesterday at the
trial of Edwin P. Kilroe. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, and Louis E. Swarts, an
attorney, jointly indicted on IA charge
of conspiracy in connection with a
bigamy charge against Bourasse.
Mrs. Bourasse lives at the Great North
ern Hotel. She gave her age as thirty
two. She was married to Bourasse in
1916. and lived with him six months.
"We went to Brooklyn, Mr. Bou-
rasse and |, to get married, so we could
keep the marriage quiet" said the wit
ness "The groom did not want it to
become known just then because of
some matter concerning his fathers
estate, he said"
Mrs. Bourasse said she had received
a letter telling her that Mr.. Bourasse
had also married one Miss Mary Coyne.
She told Mr.. Swarts about this mar
riage and suggested that the broker
should be prosecuted. After consulta-
tion with Edward H. Berger, formerly
an attorney for Mrs. Bourasse, the
prosecution was decided upon. To-
gether with Mr.. Swarts. said Mrs. Bou-
rasse, she met Mr.. Kilroe in a Fulton
Street restaurant
Mrs. Bourasse testified further that
she did not encourage a settlement for
$4,000 with her husband, which Mr.
Swarts suggested. Subsequently. said
Mrs. Bourasse, when she thought of re-
tanning another lawyer. Mr.. Swarts ad-
vised settlement, saying that Mr.. Kill
roe could have the case postponed in
definitely. She told of the payment of
$4,000 by Bourasse after Magistrate
Mancuso had permitted the prosecu-
ton to drop the bigamy charge. Mrs
Bourasse received $4,000 of this
amount, Mr.. Swarts $500 and Mr.
Berger $4,000
The trial will be continued TODAY
