Fiibuster Threat Gets
Support Of President
For Waterways Fund

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Threat
by certain members of congress to
defeat the army bill unless President
Harding disavowed his intention OF
curtailing expenditures \ authorized
under it resulted today in the admin
istration changing it's attitude.
The president had let it be known
that of the $56,000,O0 the bill pro-
vides for rivers and harbors, only
27,00O-the amoutn fixed by the
budget bureau-should be spent.
The congressman who wanted to
spend the full amount announced
they would filibuster against the bill
unless the president agreed not to
interfere with the expenditure. Such
O filibuster would beat the bill and
leave the war department without
funds. The administration modified
it's previous stand and let it be
known that only useless expendi-
lures would be opposed.

TILTED GEORGIA GIRL.
TELLS HOW SPAN|ARD.
SPUR|VED HER | Owe.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-A crimson
stained handkerchief, bearing what
were declared to be the initials of
Mariana Vidal Spanish vice consul
in this city, was offered in Jefferson
Market court Wednesday as evil
dence of a struggle between Vidal
and Miss Lucille Whitehurst, of
Americas, Ga, who charged him
with knocking her down and tearing
from her finger an engagement ring
he had given her.
The handkerchief had been used
to bandage a finger, which she said
was cut with a razor blade in a
scuffle in Vidals apartment.
The quarrel ended Immediately,
she continued, and she agreed to &C.
company Vidal to dinner that night.
When they reached an uptown sub
way station, she said, Vidal rudely
showed her against a turnstile and
ran for the street, leaving her with
out carfare home.
Miss Whitehurst told Magistrate
O'Berwager that Vidal had been
challenged by a Mexican to duel
for her hand, but had declined.
The magistrate, who had been list
ening quietly to a story of frenzied
love-making and violent jealousy,
showed marked interest when the
affair of honor was mentioned.
"a duel" he exclaimed. "A duel in
New York city?'' :
Eyes" replied Miss Whitehurst
calmly. "a duel" The Mexican,
Enrico Mendoza, of whom Vidal had
become jealous, wanted to see blood
flow, but Vidal would not fight, be-
cause he said the Mexican was of
q lower station in life and he would
only fight his equals"
The girl admitted paying a man SIS
a night to trail Vidal. She was un-
able to give the date or place Of her
birth, but said she was born on a
Georgia plantation and was twenty
four years old. She claims to be a
niece of a former Georgia senator.
Before the hearing Vidal waived
immunity as a. diplomat. He sat
calm and silent throughout the girls
recital He denied he ever promised
to marry Miss Whitehurst, and when
the MAGISTRATE remarked that love
heals all wounds" he holly retorted:
"There never has been any love. "
He also denied striking her or
wrenching a ring from her hand.
The Spaniard's version of the at
fair was that the girl had called at
his apartment one night and threat
ened to kill herself, Whereupon he
had called the police. He appeared
voluntarily in court to listen to the
allegations of Miss Whitehurst,
whose lawyer asked for warrant
charging grand larceny in connec>
ton with the alleged theft of the
ring.
1--WE were only good friends" said
the Spaniard, land the ring was
nothing more than a token of friend
ship"
The court, however, suggested a
consultation in his chambers, and
adjourned the case until later with
the assertion that "this is no COM
mon American girl"
The girl testified that she was a
designer and that her annual income
of about $4,000 had dropped at least
so per cent since her quarrel with
Vidal.
Introduction of a packet of letters
Nat were not read in court marked
the adjournment of the hearing I'M
