Madly in Love and
Couldn't Wait, Says
Valentino, Of Marriage

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May IL
1--WE were madly in love and couldn't
wait any longer"
This is Rudolph Valentines rea-
son why he rushed to Mexicali, Mex
leo, and married Winifred Hudnut,
daughter of the wealthy perfume
manufacturer, before getting final
dec1 ee of divorce from his first wife,
Jean Acker.
Valentino, famous screen lover, is
virtually an exile from California to-
day. Divorce experts of this state
believe he cannot return until year
has elapsed and his introductory
decree granted recently has become
fifal.
Superior Court Judge J. w. Sum
merfeld, whose decisions in big di-
vorce cases in Los Angeles have
made him an authority of national
reputation, was asked for comment
on Valentines case. He called at
tention to the warning printed at the
bottom of every introductory decree.
This reads:
This is not a judgment Of di-
vorce. The parties are still husband
and wife and will be such until a
final judgment is entered one year
from the entry of this introductory
judgment"
Other divorce judges concurred in
this general statement, making it
clear, however, they were not ex-
pressing official opinions as to the
Valentino case, but merely citing the
rule applicable to any such case.
The district attorneys office asked
what action would be taken if Val
entino should return to California
with his bride, stated action would
be consideration only after official
notice of the case had been received,
Valentino and his bride have re-
manned on the Mexican side of the
border since the ceremony. The film
actors statement about being mad
ly in love is the only word that has
come from him since he was mar
ried. His friends were greatly sur
prised, as they thought he was go.
ing to Mexico on a hunting trip. The
Universal studios said they had not
been notified of the wedding and that
when Valentino left it was under.
stood he was going to Palm Springs
for a vacation trip.

Eight Indians, representatives OF
more than 10000 of their race in

which they contend has stood
against their kindred for seventy
years.
Specifically the Indians seek
passage of the court of claims bill,
passed by the senate in the last
congress, under which they hope to
obtain compensation for 100000
acres of land which they said was
taken from them improperly and
to obtain payment of $780, 900 In

PROPOSE CHANGE
IN MAKE UP Of
RESERVE BOARD
Senate Agricultural Bloc
Has Two Alternatives De-
signed to Remove 0biec-
tiOnS Held BY Harding.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Agree-
ment has been reached by leaders
of the senate agricultural bloc on
two alternatives designed to re-
move objections held by President
Harding to legislation proposing a
farmer representative on the fed
eral reserve board. These are eX.
pected to be presented to the
White House so that the president
may indicate his preference.
The first suggestion said to have
been adopted after informal con-
ferences was that the proposed
statute be changed to give mem
bership on the board to representa-
tives Of the several phases of ma
tional industrial and commercial
effort; the second would wipe out
any designation as to the makeup
of the board. which now must in
clude two members of banking eX-
perience and leave the representa-
ton to tho authority holding the
appointing power.
There did not seem to have been
a definite understanding among the
bloc leaders as to whether they
would press their original demand
that the board membership be in
creased by one to take care Of the
farmer members.
Further conference on the prop
ositions appeared likely tomorrow
in order to get as nearly to rock
bottom basis as possible before the
senate cOnvenes when the pro-
posed legislation is to be taken up.
Leaders declared they had their
views so well in mind that they
could put their ideas in Legislative
