Smash BoIshevism, He
Tells Diners.

American bankers and their minor
associates, representing most Of the
fiscal resources of the world, were
called upon to stamp out anarchism
in this country by Representative
Simeon D. Fess, Senator-elect from
Ohio, at the nineteenth annual ban.
quet of the Washington Chapter
American Institute of Banking, al
the Willard last night.
Representative Fess declared the
banks, in helping people to become
home owners and to know the power
Of possession, were doing more to
smash bolshevism than any other
American agency.
II am not greatly disturbed at
the problems Of economics that we
face every day on Capitol HILL" he
said, "but / do fear these many
outbreaks, in all sections Of the
country, against Government and
American institutions.
ITO emphasize the meaning OF
thrift and the effort to accumulate
something for rainy day is the
surest cure of bolshevism that can
be submitted by any country at
any time"
The banquet was the largest ever
held by the Washington chapter, &C
cord1ng to w. A. Dexter, local presi
dent. More than $50 were present
breaking last years record of 485
Messages of regret were read from
Carter Talman and Richard w. Hill
respectively president and secretary
of the institute.
Joshua Evans, jr., father of the
chapter, told the diners he hoped
each succeeding year would see
great progress in their work.
John j. Boobar, as toastnnaster

Girl i'm Jones Falls
Accidentally Drowned

BALTIMORE, Feb. 24.-MisS
Mary w. Ward. whose body was
found today in Jones falls, near the
North avenue bridge, following her
disappearance from her home in the
Latrobe apartments Friday, died as
a result Of accidental drowning. This
was the cause of death assigned in
the certificate issued by DIR. George
G. Blades, coroner-at-large.
Their investigations leading them
TO a similar conclusion, Detectives
Thomas r. Hogan and James Man
ming, who had been working on the
case, said tonight their inquiry had
ended.
There is no evidence to show
that Miss Ward had premeditated
the act which caused her death"
said DR.. Blades. From the circum-
stances l am convinced that she
wandered into the falls when in a
state of mental alteration.
There was not the slightest sign
of poison. The slight flow of blood
was caused by abrasions on her
head, but there was no laceration
in the scalp.
1.-The watch she wore was not
adjusted to what is known as heat
and cold AS soon as she struck
the water, which was almost
frigid, the watch stopped. The
hands indicated the time as 10:40."

MARRIAGE SECRET
MYSTERY To WIFE
British Beauty, Whose Hus-
band Asks Divorce, Thought
1t Was Spiritual.
BY FORBES w. FAIRBAIN,
Service Staff Correspondent


LONDON, Feb. 24.-The extraer-
binary statement that a modern
young woman, and one of the most
beautiful in England, could attain
the age Of twenty-three before dis
covering the full nearing of mar
riage will be made Wednesday when
hearing is resumed in the famous
Russell divorce case.
John Hugo Russell, heir of Lord
Amphill, is seeking to divorce Chris
tabelle Russell, naming two cores
pondents and denying the paternity
of her child.
Mrs. Russell tonight said:
From the time ] was sixteen,
had no knowledge whatever of the
ways Of the world. l was totally
ignorant Of married life until we
went on our honeymoon. 1 was
surprised to learn that it implied
more than the mutual occupation
of one residence by a husband and
his wife
Because I held thiss ideal while
my husband was more familiar
with prevalent ideas, I soon found
we were incompatible. l never
knew why young men always
wanted to kiss me as soon as we
entered a taxicab. On eighteen
successive nights I asked eighteen
different young men why in the
world they wanted to marry me.
If my little son We're girl l
would raise her just as I was
raised"
Mrs Russell insists that her hus-
band is the little boys father, and
denies absolutely that she has ever
been indiscreet.

Trapped Raiders; Woman
Set Free and Praised

CALDWELL, Ohio, Feb. Pat
takes a woman to stop men.
Sheriff Moore and five deputies
We're ready to admit that tonight.
The town marshal, constable, and
three deputies, accompanied the
sheriff to the home of Peter Butche
today to clean up the place sup
posedly of moOnshine ingredients.
Mrs. Butchc met them at the door
with a smile.
The officers filed in. Then the
woman went out, slammed the door,
turned the key, and escaped with
all doors securely locked and but
one window in the house.
The imprisoned officers began
house wrecking. They emerged
through the shattered window, and
later captured Mrs. Butche. She
was charged with resisting officers
and moonshining.
When Mayor Danford heard the
story tonight, he told Mrs. Butche
she was free. He COmplimcnted her
on her work.
