Third Millionaire
Demands Decree
Show Girl Has Had Bad Luck Holding
Onto Her Wealthy Adventures Into
MatrimOny.

Chicago. April 12.-The third mil
ionaire husband of Peggy Hopkins,
beautiful show girl. had asked for his
freedom today.
J. Stanley Joyce. multi-millionaire
lumberman, in a suit filed, asked that
his marriage to Peggy be annulIed and
that she refund close to million
dollars of his property. rsfSE
The list of correspondents THAT Joyce
names, looks like a social register.
They follow: Barton French, said to-
be a New York millionaire; Henri
Letellier, Partisan journalist; Maurice,
a dancer whose first name is I'M
known. and Evans Spaulding, official
of the American Wooden Mills, New
York.
Blonde, slight and blue eyed, Peggy
started her matrimonial adventures
when she was II. She was Marguerite
Upton. of Norfolk, Va, and ran away
with Everett Archer of Denver, Colo.
The marriage was annulled in six
month. Later, she married Sherburne
Hopkins, Washington attorney.
Peggy later declared she was "off
of" milhonaires and went to New York
where she starred in several Broadway
successes. She was divorced by Hop
kins and married Joyce two days later.
Joyce asks annulment on the ground
that she was still legally married to
Hopkins when he married her, because
the laws of Texas do not permit re-
marriage within such a short time.

China, Siberia, immigration and arma-

created a profound impression in ia

countries reach a critical stage.
Authorities at the Japanese foreign
office confine themselves to a state

DEMOS Are SORE.
Hopelessly Outnumbered in
House, They Fight Back.
Declare Republicans Are Using
Party Advantage Unfairly.

Washington, April 1E.-The Demo-
cratic minority in congress was show
ing fight today. altho hopelessly out
numbered.
In both house and senate protests
against Republican methods of OF
ganizing for business were made.
They were promptly overridden of
they "had gone on record and were
content.
Democratic senators made strong
objections against the Republican pro-
posal to amend senate rules to permit
committees to rave sixteen instead of
fifteen members. The additional
member in each case would be a new
Republican senator for whom commit
tee places have to be made.
Democrats claim this is a despotic
use of partisan advantage and that it
puts them at an unfair disadvantage
in the framing of important legisla-
ton.
Senator Hitchcock, acting Demo-
cratic leader. said he would fight the
rule as hard as possible. tho the Re
publican margin of % votes means de-
feat for the Democrats.
In the house, the fight was waged
late yesterday on the provision to al
low suspension of the rules by a two
thirds vote. Under suspension of the
rules, a bill can be rushed thru after
forty minutes debate without any op-
pOrtunity for amendment
Representative Pou. North Carolina
pointed out that the Republicans have
more than two-thirds of the house
membership, that they can bring in
party measures, suspend the rules
rush them to a vote and pass them
without the opposition being heard.
He proposed making a -fourths
vote necessary to suspension but was
beaten.

May Cause UpheayaL
Attainment of this program may in
voIve a change in the Japanese minis
try. Major General Tanaka, minister
of war, has already placed his resig-
nation in the hands of Premier Hara.
1t is apparent the political situation
in Japan is complicated by differences
over purely internal questions, includ-
ing the one relative to the betrothal of
the crown prince, which came to light
recently and which seems not to have
been settled in some important as
poets. Everything here. however
tends to show that the highest circles
of the empire are concentrating their
attention on relations with America
which Japanese high officials openly
declare must be improved.
