Lloyds, of London, is willing to stake
S100o.000 that Pola Negri, the Polish
film star, will not get married between
September % and December 23. They
are going to take chance that the
film beauty who SO happily character
lied Nine. Du Barry in a German

love on short notice with any impetu-
Gus, fast working American man.
Mile. Negri recently signed con-
tract to appear in pictures here this
fall. But there is one provision in the
agreement about which the officials Of
the film company concerned are worry
ing. The star stipulates that she is to
be relieved of all duties in case she
becomes married during the contract
period of three months.
Reuben Samuels, an insurance bro-
ker, cabled Lloyds yesterday asking
for policy to protect the moving pic
ture. producer against Mile. Negri's
possible marriage. Lloyds replied i'm
mediately that they would write such n
policy, but could not quote rate just
now because, so far as they knew, the
marriage risk had never before been
covered. They sought breathing spell

Under Surface of River
Ablaze With Gasoline

Professor Edwin Kemmeror. of
Princeton University, who, with his
wife, young son and daughter, was
a survivor of steamboat fire in the
Parana River, between Paraguay and
the Argentine, last June, returned yes
terday from Valparaiso on the steam
ship Santa Teresa. of the Grace Line.
DR. Kemmerer, who Is with the de.
partment of finance and economics at
Princeton, went to the Argentine with
his family on pleasure trip AS part
of their itinerary they boarded the
river steamer Villa Franco for q trip
on the Parana River, The vessel, he
said, is permitted by the laws of Ar
gentina to carry 260 gallons of gaso-
line, but her skipper took aboard 5000
gallons, and this caught fire in transit
There was an explosion, he said. The
vessel caught fire and sank. The blaz.
ing fluid spread and bIazed on the
water surrounding the vessel, and many
of the f1S passengers and the crew OF
thirty-five perished in the flames. The
explosion occurred when the boat was
only 125 feet from shore, but the blaz-
ing waters around the craft made Il
difficult for those aboard to swim
ashore.
DIR. Kemmerer credited the salvation
of himself and family TO the fact thai
they remained aboard until the blaze
on the waters had subsidized and to the
swimming ability of Mrs. Kemmerer, hi.

daughter Ruth, twelve, and himself

Herbert Elmer Newman, New York
business man, living at Til Ocean Ave-
nue., Flatbush, expects through in
quiries being made in Windsor Ont,
to find his son, Herbert jr., who was
reported last October to have been
washed overheard in the North Sea
and drowned. a
A curious incident related in news
paper dispatches from Canada has
served to confirm somewhat the faith
er's disbelief in the stated facts of his
sons disappearance Relatives brought
Mr.. Newman clipping yesterday which
told of Windsor mail carrier who
saw woman in a motor car plunge
to death at Niagara Falls. and was so
shocked by the tragedy he regained
his memory, which for some months
had been blank. The mans name
was given as Elmer Newman. AS he
had been removed to hospital, the
parents assigned that as the reason he
had not communicated with them.
Young Newman, war veteran, en-
listed as a seaman on the steamship
Westbrook to study radio operation.
The parents were skeptical about the
report of his death and had circulars
sent out to assist in finding him They
firmly believe that the man in Wind
sor will prove to be their son.

Wife to Aid u. S. Revoke
Nobleman's Citizenship

Allied with the government in it's
suit to revoke the citizenship papers
of Count Rudolpho de Festetics de
Tolan, will be the nobleman's wife, who
promised United States District At
torney Greene, in Brooklyn, yesterday
hat she will aid in every possible way.
The government last Saturday insti-
tuted the action against Count de Fes-
tetics de Tolan on the grounds that
the papers given him in San Francisco
in 1906 were illegal. It is alleged that
he had not been in the United States
the required five years, nor in Cali
fornia the required year when he OBJ
tained his citizenship.
The countess. who before her mar
riage was Alice Witherbee, daughter of
the late Gardner Witherbee, said that
she has divorce action pending in
France. She told Mr.. Greene that dur
ing the war chateau and yacht,
which we're bought with her money,
were seized by the French government
on the ground that the count was an
Austrian subject, The count then ap-
pealed to the State Department at
Washington for the return of the prop
erty, and an investigation into his citi-
zenship resulted in the present suit.

5-Million Liberian Loan
Brings Clash i'm Senate
Borah Denounccs 1t as Step
Toward Seizure Of Negro
Republic and New War

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL A sharp
fight developed in the Senate to-day
over the Administration Bill proposing
a loan of $5,o00,000 to the Governmen
OF Liberia, measure passed by the
House last May, urged by President
Harding and Secretary Hughes, and
included on the Republican steering
committees program.
The bill; declared by Republican
leaders to be an. inheritance" from
the Wilson administration and moral
obligation, was attacked = by Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, and several
Democratic Senators, including Sena-
tor Glass, of Virginia, who was Secre-
tary OF the Treasury during the Lii
berian negotiations.
Curtis, Republican, Kansas, of the Sen
ate Finance Committee, urged passage
of the bill as a measure to meet a
moral obligation.
Senator Borah charged that the bill
meant the taking over of Liberia" by
the United States and added that New
York bankers who have made loans to
Liberia would be the principal bene,
ficiaries
Senator Glass said he did not concur
with Mr. Lansing's views and added
that $4,000 advanced to Liberia to en-
able the Liberian delaga.us 70 attend
the Paris peace conference was the
only war loan which Cannot be justi-
fed,
Senator Borah charged that claims
against the Liberian government had
been bought up by SPECTATORS at 10 tc
20 cents on the dollar in expectancy of
payment from the $5,00O,000 American
fund.
Il am not in favor of this taking
over of Liberia and becoming part Of
the imperial scheme of finance, which
curse will bring the world into another
war" said Senator Borah.

Expert Says Glider
lis Usef I'LL Only to
Study Air { Currents
Noa Adaptable for CONNER
cial Flying, Prof. Warner
Reports; Urges National
Promotion of Aviation

The glider never will become prac-
tical means of transportation, asserted
Professor E. P. Warner, of the Massa-
chusetts Institute Of Technology, In
commenting yesterday on the recent
French and German gliding competi-
tiens, from visit to which he re-
turned to this country on Sunday.
Il do not regard the glider as any
solution of commercial flying, but it
is remarkable method for studying
and charting air currents" he said, in
making public his observations at the
offices Of the Aeronautical Chamber Of
Commerce, at sol Fifth Avenue, "and
the Germans undoubtedly are utilizing
information gained from glider expert
ments in the building of their smaller
planes.
'The whole problem of gliding is in
the mastery of ascending winds. Once
in the air the operator must adjust
himself to the fluctuations of the air
currents in q seesawing manner. Ii
man could see the air currents he ceuld
master flying without motive power in
the same manner as do birds, with
whom flying is a matter of intuition
and instinct"
The success of the Germans in the
Wasserkuppe competition, the aeronau-
tical expert declared, was due largely
to the fact that they have been making
flights from this hill for ten years, and
know the air conditions. In addition
the flyers were all men who had flown
during the war and who had made
many experimental glides on the Ger
man terrain.
Professor Warner, who travelled 2,00t
miles by air during his stay of several
months abroad, said that virtually
every civilized country in the worlc
which is not absolutely bankrupt, with
the exception of the United States, is
finding it worth while, both for mill.
tary and commercial reasons, to de
velop commercial aviation. Probably
40 per cent of the patronage OF the
score or more of European aerial trans
port lines is American, indicating ne
lack of interest on the part of the
American public, he added
THE outstanding fact seems to m,
to be the necessity for the United
States to enact without delay the
Wadsworth- Winslow bill creating ;
bureau of commercial areonautics IL
the Department of Commerce, and pre-
viding for the regulation and inspection
and for the development Of airway.
and terminals" he said. "There is {
world race in the air and we shoulc
be warned by what others have done.
