ANOTHER HUBBY
Referee Recommends
Divorce on Lurid
Testimony.

New York, Aug. 8.-A referees
report recommending that a de-
cree Of divorce be granted Arthur
A. Gordon against Nora Bayes, ac-
tress, known in private life as
Elenore Gordon, was filed in court
here today. Mrs. Gordon is ac-
cused of misconduct with Arthur
Welton, described as a Baltimore
banker.
The report recommended that the
Gordon's adopted son, John Katuz,
aged 3, be left to the care of his
foster father.
Sensational testimony was pre-
sented against Miss Bayes, popular
in vaudeville and musical comedy,
who has been married and divorced
several times.
Witnesses for the plaintiff, who
lives at the Lambs club, testified
that on Jan. 80 he entered a pri-
vate house on West End avenue,
through a parlor window and let
in a number Of detectives. The
raid was conducted at 5 a. m.
Found in Bedroom.
The party, according to the testi-
mony of Jerome C. Baum, a detec-
tive, found Miss Bayes and Welton
in a bedroom.
According to Baum. the raiders
tip-toed upstairs in the dark and
found a locked door. Baum testi-
fed that Gordon had knocked and
said:
Arthur, open the door. or we'll
break it in"
"If you break it in, I'll shoot" a
feminine voice said, according to
the testimony.
"All right. shoot" Gordon Is al
legged to have answered.
The detective said the door was
pushed open and Miss Bayes and
Welton were revealed.
"Fina!ly Got You.
II finally got you.". Gordon was
quoted as saying, adding that he in
tended to sue for divorce and re-
preaching Welton, who he said, had
been his friend.
Miss Bayes. after whom a New
York theatre was named. once was
the wife of Jack Norworth. actor.
She married Gordon in 1920.

BALLS RAIL BR0THERH00DS' Meeting
HARDING IS AT
ROPESEN IN
RAILWAY TLEUP
Nothing Left But Per-
sonal Address to
Congress.
BY DAVID. LAWRENCE.

Copyright. 1922, by The Argus.)
Washington. D. c, Aug s.
Neither side likes President Hard
ing's latest proposal for a settle
ment OF the rail strike which per-
haps is the best augury of an
eventual acceptance by both.
For the president Is at the end OF
his rope-he has exhausted every
means of mediation at his COM
mand except one and that is a per-
sonal address to congress when the
house comes back next Tuesday.
In that address ME-. Harding can
ask for an amendment to the
transportation act which will put
teeth in it and compel the railroad
executives and workers to obey the
United States railroad labor board
or suffer a penalty for violating its
decisions.
Legislation Needed.
Until now there has been no pen
atty for disregarding the transpor-
tation act. Mr.. Harding is build
ing up a case for further legisla-
ton. In his latest proposal it will
be noted that he calls attention to
the public pledge given by the rail
roads and the shopmen that they
will recognize the validity of the
decision of the board. Should they
disregard that pledge the moment
the chief executive suggests the
settlement of a troublesome issue
through the instrumentality of the
labor board the need for legisla-
tion will be so obvious that con-
gress will have to choose between
a seizure of the railroads and a
return to government Operation
which has proven SO costly to the
taxpayers, or the enactment of an
amendment to cure the defects in
the transportation act now on the
statute books
Public Is SkepticaL.
The reasons that both the shop
men and some railroad executives
are advancing as basis for refus-
ing President Handing's compro-
mise offer are not looked upon

BALLOON RACE
Honeywell, A n, e r.
icar,, Is Picked
to Win.

Geneva, Aug. 8.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. --latest calculations
this afternoon of distances covered
by the contestants in the Interna-
tional balloon race for the James
Gordon Bennett Cup intimated that
Oscar Westover. plotting an Ameri-
can army balloon was leading over
Maurice Bienaime, a French con-
testant.
Word was received that West
over had landed on the right bank
of the Danube about 30 miles
southwest Of Budapest.
Geneva, Aug. 8.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.) - Thunder storms
and snow squalls nearly spoiled
the International balloon race for
the James Gordon Bennett cup, and
gloom descended on the enthusiasts
here when news was received of
several early landings on account
Of bad weather, some inside Switz-
erland and others only small dis
tances over the frontier in Ger
many.
Later, however, as reports con-
tinued lacking from one French,
one Swiss, three Americans. two
Belgians and one Italian, hopes
arose that some of the pilots had
been able to rise above the storm
zone, and make good distances.
Yanks are FavOrites.
The American pilots remained
the favorites, even after Lieutenant
Walter Reed had reported landing
near Pappenheim. Germany. He
probably was out-distanced by Cap
tain Armbruster, Swiss, who re-
ported from Kierchlag, lower Aus
tria, but later Major Oscar West
over, the American, was heard from
in Hungary.
The race now seems to lie be-
tween H. E. Honeywell, the Amer
ican, who is still unheard from
Major Westover and the Italian
pilot, A. Guglielmetti, who was the
latest to report, having landed al
Salorn, in Czech-Slovakia. The gen.
eral opinion in aeronautic circles
here Is that Captain Honeywell will
probably win.
Six Unheard From.
There remained to be heard from
today besides Captain Honeywell
two Of the Belgian entries, "Bel.
gica," and "City of Brussels; one
French, "Anjou"; one Italian
"Triomphate W." and one Swiss
Zurich"
"Savoie," French entry, landed
at Rossbach, in the northwestern
Czecho- -Slovakia, near the German
border, instead of in Bavaria, Al

Joliet, ILL.,, Aug. 8.-With the ex-
ception of a few scattered shots the

"Big Jim," giant of man, has
personally patrolled the strike
area daily since the shopmen
walked out, going among strikers,
pickets and guards, usually un-
armed.
According to one story today the
sheriff's first words when he
reached the hospital, apparently
fatally wounded, were:
Don't call the troops; it'll give
the county bad name"
Another story tells how the sher-
iff found a railroad guard with a
bottle of whisky few days ago.
/ The sheriff., unarmed, confiscated
the whisky. took the mans gun and

palm, slapped the guards face so
hard the man landed half dozen
feet away.

Chicago, Aug. 8. - With state
wide primary in Ohio, Arkansas
and Alabama, and Republican
state convention in Texas, political
periscopes today were trained espe-
cially on the Buckeye state, where
Republican voters Of President
Harding's home commonwealth
went to the polls to determine two
well-defined issues-modified pro-
hibition and approval Of the Hard
ing administration.
The issues centered in the gu
bernatorial campaign in which it
was up to the Ohio G. o. P. to de-
eide whether the state would re-
main loyal to the old guard or fol-
low Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ne
braska, Iowa and North Dakota in
the movement which upset the old
organizations in those states.
Thompson Is sDry."
Carmi A. Thompson of Cleve-
land, was the standard bearer of
both the Harding forces and ad-
vocates of strict enforcement of ex-
isting prohibition laws. Congress
man Charles l.. knight of Akron,
and Daniel Williams, Jackson pub
Usher, each head progressive ele-
ments for the party. Ballots cast
for C. Homer Durand, Coshocton
attorney, were in reputation of
the Volstead act and endorsements
Of modification of the dry" laws
to permit sale of light wines and
beer. Harvey C. Smith of Zanes-
vile, was the gubernatorial candi-
date who led the attempted rout OF
both the Harding forces and the
Anti-Saloon league.
Labor Opposes Pomerene.
Organized labor asserted itself
in the Ohio campaign for both Re-
;DQblican and DEMOCRATIC nomina-
9s6ns for United States senator,
backing former Congressman John
J. Lentz of Columbus, against SEN
ator Atlee Pomerene in the Demo-
cratic race, and Charles Dick of
Akron, against Congressman S. d.
Fess in the Republican senatorial
campaign.
The three Democratic candidates
for governor had no clear-cut is
sues and forecasters predicted a
close three-cornered race between
A. V. Donahey, former state audi
tor; James G. Johnson, former
state supreme court justice. and
Thomas ]. Duffy, chairman Of the
state industrial commission.
Other Republican candidates for
the gubernatorial nomination we're:
Rupert B. Beetham, speaker of the
Ohio house of representatives, who
advocated strict prohibition en-
forcement; State Senator Arthur
H. Day of Cleveland, World war
veteran; J. w. Durnell of Colum-
bus, a light wine and beer advo-
vocate, and Harry C. Smith, negro
publisher, of Cleveland.
