GIRLS IN LONG WALK
Tramp From Los Angeles, CAL, to
Washington to Sketch President

A 10,000miIe $40 hike to draw Il life
sketch of President Harding.
Two Los Angeles girls, Misses Mary
Milsk and Geraldine Gypsy Somers
both of 100 South Olive street, start
ed on the long walk to Washington the
other day with but $40 between them.
If, when they return one year
hence with a likeness Of President
Harding in their portfolio and can
show they have actually walked 10000
miles, Al Christie, according to his
promise, will give them leading roles
in motion pictures
They must not ride public convey
ances and they must "zig-zag" north
and south to get in the extra mileage
Christie has stipulated
Miss Milsk, who is a professional
free hand artist and a hiker Of much
experience on long-distance trips, says
the terms of the bargain are easy.
She will draw pictures of persons
along the route of their journey and
charge enough for this work to meet
board and room bills
The first lap Of the journey will be
along the Santa Fe trail as far as Kan
sas City. Then the "zig-zagging' is
to commence. On the return trip they
will walk in circles until they have
negotiated the required 10000 miles.

Without exception the press Endorses
It, especially extolling the new prime
minister, Mr.. Benes. This extraordi-
nary young man of thirty-seven is OF
| all Czechoslovak statesmen the one
who most closely reflects the social
and political philosophy of the presi-
dent. Both Benes and Czerny were
students in the University of Prague
under Masaryk, and may be said to
have been especially trained by him
for their present positions.
Benes has in three years established
himself as one Of the leading foreign
ministers of Europe. 1t is proof of
his ability and his known integrity
that both Austria and Hungary, hered-
itary enemies of the Czechs, in
vited him to arbitrate between them

puted territory in West Hungary
This little strip of land has been for
months battle-ground where armed
and lawless bands have been spread

Hungary, more than any Of the
states Of the late central powers, re
sents the loss of territory resulting
from the World war She is openly
defiant of the DEGREES OF the peace
congress and has been fighting to get
into the League of Nations in order
if possible, to change them. Aware
that the league would not admit her
while fighting was going on within
her borders. Hungary invited Benes to
suggest solution of the Burgenland
dispute. This joint action of Austria
and Hungary was a personal COM ,
pliment to Benes, but it was also good
evidence of the respect which all
central Europe has for Czechoslo-
vakia
Some surprise is expressed that
President Masaryk should have add |
ed to the burdens of the minister for
foreign affairs the onerous duties of |

almost everyone that the head of the
new cabinet would be Deputy Svehla.
who formed it. But Mr.. Svehla, for
his own reasons, decided not to enter
the cabinet at all. The fact of the
case is that in the next session of par
lament several important pieces of
legislation will have precedence, and
these concern matters on which the
president and Mr. Benes are in en-
tire understanding and accord The
questions concern separation of church
and state, wider extension of social
Insurance, and budgetry reforms
which will necessitate important finan
rial changes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE
world world of astronomical science IS
hurrying to remote spots OF the South
Seas and Antipodes where learned sci
entists will risk life and health
To trail~a beam Of light!
Two American expeditions already

of the latest sky-searching apparatus
and Photographic equipment.
From Berlin is being rushed some
thing absolutely new in telescopes, the
work of years in the Zeiss plant at
jena, while company of German and
Dutch astronomers accompany II,
headed by DIR. Joseph Hoppman. They
are bound for lonely spot on Christ

The Royal Astronomical Society of
England also is sending its ENJOYS to

| For September 81 total eclipse of
the sun will be visible over narrow
ridge 100 kilometers wide, stretching
| from Cape Gardafui in Africa, through

/ Selection of sites for this spectacle
are limited, for the tests and pheto-

omical history.
Why9 Because the men of science
are to put the Einstein theory of rela-
tivity to it's severest test.
What this test will be was explained
to NEA Service by Professor W. W.
Campbell, Of Lick Observatory who
, heads the American expedition, just
before he sailed. The American party
will make it's observations from the re-
mote 90-mile- beach on the northwest
coast of Australia.
."The thing Einstein has predicted, -
explains Professor Campbell, "is that
during this eclipse certain stars occu-

sun will seem to be displaced slightly
away from the sun.
"Absolute proof of the theory can
be secured only during total eclipse
Of the sun, for under such condition

XII K[UX CASE
BLOCKED
N iii R1v
Baker, Former Kieagle,
Goes Into Commissions
In Courtroom
NEEDS 80 DAYS REST
Unique Question Raised AS
to Whether Prosecution
Can Proceed
United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11.-Action on
the trial of 81 members of the Ku KluX
Klan was postponed today when ply
sicians reported that Nathan A. Baker,
former Kleagle, one of the defendants,
had suffered complete nervous and
mental breakdown and would not be
in fit condition to appear in court for
at least 80 days.
This announcement created a situa-
tion in the trial which all parties ad-
mitted was unique, and court was ad-
journed until 2 clock when Judge
Houser heard arguments of attorneys
as to whether the trial can continue.
Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes
frankly admitted that he was in doubt
as to the proper procedure, but urged
upon the court the necessity for care
in determining action which might re-
suit in a claim by the defense of a
mistrial.
Defense Attorney Paul Barksdale
DOR declared it his opinion that the
case could proceed, arguing that the in
dictment was against 81 men as indi-
viduals and not as a group. Keyes pro-
tested that he could not agree, and
that it was his opinion that in view
of the fact that there was but n single,
indictment, Baker would have to be
tried with the others.
DIR. j. A. Gafford, who attended
Baker, was the only witness called. He
stated that Baker was only semi-con-
scious and that he must have long
rest before he could endure the strain
of a trial.
Baker collapsed in the courtroom
yesterday during part of the state s
most sensational testimony against the
Klan. He was taken to the hospital in
convulsions.
Counsel for William S. Coburn,
former grand goblin of the ku Klux
Klan, will positively insist on immed-
late trial, it was stated this afternoon
as court was assembling to hear argu-
ments of attorneys on the qnestion OF
Postponement.
George c. Watson, attorney for Co
burn, told the United Press that he
would move for dismissal of the charge
against his client if any prolonged de-
lay resulted from illness of Baker.
Jury in the Ku Klux Klan trial was
dismissed this afternoon until Mon
day morning pending decision of the
court as TO what procedure 10 1oiioW
with one defendant absent.
Counsel for defense and state then
went into conference on the plan of
deputy District Attorney Keyes that
the ease against Baker be dismissed,
and the trial of 36 other defendants
proceed under written agreement sign
ed by all parties. Judge Houser an
nounced his approval of this sugges'
tion.

L. A. THEATER MAN SAYS HE'S THE HERO
WHO CARRIED THAT MESSAGE TO GARCIA

| LOS ANGELES, Calf, Aug. IL
| Like the army of men who claimed to be
| the original of Mark Twain s Colonel
| Sellers claimants of many kinds can
| be found to have ''inspired - any
work of fiction, according to Major
Francis II. f. Woodward, who believes
he supplied the facts for Ebert Hub
bard s famous Message to Garcia.
81 am not trying to discredit the
claim of Major Rowan of San Fran
cisco, who was recently decorated by
the war department as the original
hero of the yarn, said Woodward as
he related to the United Press an ac
count of what he said he has reason
to think is the true origin of the tale.
Woodward is at present head of the
Los Angeles Theater Owners Associa-
tiAsa with offices here and is known for
his career in the Cuban army.
He has in his office documents and
relics which unquestionablv prove that
he saw service there.
"The story is an involved one he
said today, "but it is Il fact that my
experiences were similar to those re-
lated by Hubbard and that Hubbard
later admitted to me that he had used
my story.
~ went to Cuba carrying messages
from Thomas Estrada Parma and
others at the time and made my way
from Santiago into the interior where
| delivered my messages and later be-
came member of the Cuban army.
Il knew Generals Gomez and Maceo'
who were prominent before Garcia was
known.
"Later / was captured by the ma
tives and reported dead. But | had es-
capped though | had been sentenced to
death, and got back to New York
aboard a British steamer. That Is
briefly the story of my Cuban adven-
lures.
"When / got back to New York |
met Jack Munson, newspaperman,
who was then working on the New
York Recorder and he introduced me
to Ebert Hubbard and several other
newspapermen,
"We spent an evening together in
an obscure French restaurant and over
a little red ink, / told lot of things
that happened to me when | was in
Cuba. y
"Hubbard said at that~time that he
was going to write something. about it
but | thought nothing about it as he
was the same as any other newspaper
man to me them
Woodward said that when "The
Message to Garcia" was published, he
recognized many of the details of the
story as similar to those he had re
counted but that he wasn't sure but
what the story was work of fiction
entirely.
81 met Hubbard again, however,"
Woodward said. "It was in Chicago
at the Press Club, when Dick Little,
now of the Chicago Examiner, was
president. He had Hubbard there as
n speaker. Afterwards, / asked Hub.
bard about the Message to Garcia.
That was your story Hubbard
said. Il had forgotten your name, but
it was from what you told me that
wrote the story.

but a matter of seconds.
A bulletin issued by his physi-

more frequent, 1.-THE Chief as
they called him in Fleet street,
fought with those about him to get
up and send orders to his papers.
He refused to give in. A telephone,
connected near his bedside, en-
abled him to send instructions to
his editors. But the messages new
er reached Fleet street. A secre-
tary took them down in an adjoin-
ing room.
For a month a strange poison,
mysterious of origin, has been
seeping through Northcliffe's sys-

and prominent American, who
have attended Northcliffe, now
believe his trouble may have had
its origin in cancer Of the throat.
