Miss Giovoti, Who Crossed

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Sept.
25.-Sad disillusionment has filtered
into the romance of Miss Freida Clio
votti, immigrant musician, and
Georgia Hoke, ex-army officer, law
yer. wealthy oil operator and nolit-
ical figure. The woman. who came
to this country a month ago to mar.
ry Hoke, is going back to Italy.
IT came to America to establish
q home, not to break up one," she
said tearfully, as she packed her be-
iongings preparatory for the journey
back to her native land.

money 7 was out on the trip" she
said. II came to America in good
faith, intending to marry George
lIoke, but this is impossible, as he
was married all of the time. shall
return home devoid of malice toward
any one. but carrying a sad heart" "
Publicity given to the affair has
led Hoke to resign his Democratic
nominal ton for county judge, which
was tantamount to election in that
district.
Miss Giovotti, a musician of con-
siderable talent, said when she first
arrived here that she had actually
known the oil magnate in Italy only
two hours and fifteen minutes, the
rest of the courtship being carried on
by mail until she came to America.

800 NEW YORK
WOMEN REBEL
i. At LONG SKIRT
"Not for U.s." They Declare,
When Confronted by Latest
Edict of Fashion Makers.
BY EARL II SHAUB.
Universal Service.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Fashion
= may decree that skirts are to be long,
but 800 club women OF New York
have shaken their heads over the
edict and cried vehemently and In
unison: \.
I'VE won't"
This band of fashion rebels is led
BY a brave pioneer, Mrs. A. M.
Palmer, president of the Rainy Day
Club.
For twenty-six years Mrs. Palmer
has fought tor the short skirt. She
has been stoned and scoffed at be-
cause Nof It, and now she does not in
tend to sit down calmly and let the
clothes line be the only place where
girls stockings may be seen.
Mrs. Palmer is. digntfied, with q
gracious manner and white hair, but
she is ready to put up another fight
against tickle fashion.
Yes, there will be fight now
with fashion. and we mean 10 win
It," she said today, with a militant
tone.
Recently, at a luncheon to stimu-
late interest in, a safety campaign,
she jumped to her feet and told the
800 women there that they were en-.
dangered by the attempt to make
them wear long skirts. She begged
them not to follow the present fash.
ion, and they shouted:
I'VE won't"
I'VE do not care how long skirts
are worn within the house or in the
ballroom" she continued today, but
we cannot permit the long skirts
again on the streets.
mo skirt for street wear should
be longer than seven inches above
the floor There should be no panel
drapery below the ankles.
II know all the dangers Of the
long skirt, and l know we must
fight its return. We cannot have
all the filth of the streets dragged
once more into our homes by long
skirts. We want our homes safe
from disease and our children safe
from germs. Every doctor will be
with us in this campaign.
"Woman's own health must also
be considered. No woman can get
the proper exercise when a long
skirt wraps itself about her ankles.
When a girl with a long skirt gets
on a street car 1t takes all the
skirt to cover one leg, and the
other
II don't think there should any

what she thought was proper.
She often had to call a police
man when she wanted to go down

Miss Gray sent her secretary,
Helen Hadakin, to Washington
last night to present the ami

with stage fright, a formal

That's something its erstwhile

ENGLAND HOLDS
Negotiations Now in Progress
Will Fix Ownership Of Ba-
guam in Philippines.

Negotiations are under way be-
tween British and American officials
looking to q return to the United
States Of Baguan, an island Of the
Philippine group, II was learned Off.
cially today.
Though unquestionably a part Of
the Philippine archipelago. ceded to
the United States under the Treaty
Of Paris, Baguan has been occupied
by Borneans, and their claim to the
island by the right OF occupation has
been backed up by the British North
Borneo Company authorities.
Occupation at Baguan by the
Borneans was made possible by the
fact that of the 5000 islands con.
stituting the Philippine archepelas no,
not more than 1900 have been occu.
pied by the American Philippine ad-
ministration. The treaty OF Paris
defines the boundaries OF the Phillip.
pine group by degrees of latitude and
longitude and It was not until 1911
that the southern boundary was
definitely marked.
AS an illustration Of the difficult.
ties of the situation, an official last
night recalled that in 1911 when the
boundary demarcation was made by
Secretary of Commerce and Police
Elliott. the American party came
upon an island whose Inhabitants
were flying the Spanish flag. The
population had not heard OF the
Spanish American war and believed
the island still under the sovereignty
of Spain.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-witk

portation facilities, the cumula
tive effect of the labor disturb.
ances in the coal and transpor.
tation industries is still hinder .
ing in some degree the general
business progress, according to
the industrial survey of the
Guaranty Trust Company, issued
today.
Car Loadings Increased.
"A chief requisite of continued
business expansion is adequate trans
portation." the survey says. If
coal can now be steadily supplied to
various parts Of the country for both
industrial and domestic uses. the gen.
eral business prospect should become
more assuring. Car loadings have
increased greatly since the settle.
ment of the coal strike. although
bituminous coal loadings are reported
to be still below normal.
Construction activity showed .
slight seasonal decline during Au.
gust.
Motor vehicle production for the
first eight months of this year ap.
proximated 1854. 900 cars and trucks,
and for the year Is expected to exceed
100000. The present prosperity of
the automobile business provides en-
ployment, II Is estimated, for 2,250,-
900 people, and its effect on other
lines may be appreciated when it Is
considered that 80 per cent Of the
plate glass manufactured in this
country, 22 per cent Of the aluminium
supply. 20 per cent Of the tin. 1S per
cent Of the copper output and 4 per
cent of the annual iron and steel
production are used in the manufac.
ture OF motor cars and their parts.
More Employment.
Unemployment In the country
has become practically normal.
About this time last year it was
estimated that approximately $780,.
900 workers were out Of employ.
ment. Today 1t is estimated that
only 100000 are seeking work,
while another million and a half
are on part time.
"As the coal strike, in both the
bituminous and the anthracite fields
has been settled on the basis Of the
former wage scales and as the
wages of employees in the steel in
dustry have been increased, we may
expect, even after the fuel shortage
has been overcome, the continuance
of high level Of prices for coal, iron
and steel products for some time.
Nevertheless, In view Of the declines
which have been taking place in
other commodities, notably certain
agricultural products which have
been protected by the emergency
tariff act for more thA1 a year, 1t
Is doubtful whether such a level can
be maintained for any great length
of time. This Is especially true Of
the iron and steel industry, in
which the larger part Of the pur-
chasing orders are placed only when
buyers are convinced that prices are
reasonably low.
THE effort Of these generally
high prices may be felt more In
the form Of reduced consumption Of
these commodities next year than In
any immediate slowing up Of indus.
trial activity this fall. The signs
point to a moderate increase in
business activity during the coming
months"

UPSET CHURCH
PRECEDENTS
IN MOSCOW
Old Bishops Are Deposed
and New Married Ones
Put in Their Places
Abandon Old Traditions
Storm of Excitement
E follows Ecclesiastical
and Political Mixup.

Moscow, Sept. 15.-Church prece-
dents have been turned topsy-turvy
by the creation of New Church Con-
gresS in Moscow, which in a recent
session deposed 81 bishops, who were
charged with counter revolutionary
activities.
Supplanting the deposed bishops
are a number of new bishops who
are either married or widowers, and
thus Tor the first time in history mar
r1ed men are at the head of the ma
tional church.
The action of the New Church Con-
gress created storm Of excitement
among the new bishops, some of them
stating that they must consult their
wives before accepting the posts; 9TH
ers protested that the introduction of
married bishops would cause wide
split in the church.
Metropolitan Bishop of Moscow
Antunfn is one Of the new bishops
who personally opposed the new ven
ture and he told the International
News Service that he feared it would
result In cleavage in the church.
Installation of the bishops had a
decidedly Soviet flavor and was a, Gu
rtous commingling of things ecclesi-
astical and political The installation
of the gorgeously purple robed priests
took place before a crudely impro-
vfsed altar in the assembly hall of
the, Third House of the Soviets, with
pictures of Marx. Lenin and Trotsky
looking down upon the ceremony
s Some of the ecclesiastical orders
favor the Installation of married
bishops as a step against monkiah
domination of the church.
