George w. Human Says

By Cosmopolitan Newu Service

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23.-The
Oil scandal under investigation in
Washington will not greatly alter
the complexion Of the pending
presidential campaign and election,
George w. Human, contributing
editor and writer on financial, eco
nomic and political subjects for the
Hearst publications, said today in
an interview,
Mr.. Human Is; leaving today for
San Diego and La Jolla for q few

Of Western States, Mr.. Human has
addressed and held counsel with

down." said Mr.. Human, ''it may be
that the aspect Of the candidates
will not have changed so greatly as
some had supposed. The situation
is bad for Mr.. McAdoo and possibly
1t will hurt him but it will not
change President Cooledge's chance
to any greater extent than it will
alter the status of the Republican
party itself.
"True, the situation will handicap
the Republican party, but 1t will
not hamper Mr.. Coolidge any more
than the party. In other words,
Mr.. Coolidge will stand as strongly
with the party as heretofore, the
only change being In the strength
Of the party ITSELF"
Speaking Of the probable candi-
date for the Democratic nomination,
Hinman expressed the opinion that
it would be neither Gov. AL Smith,
of New York, nor. Senator Cope

said, land do not think the
Democratic party would care to

And now old Dame Rumor says
that soon after divorce is granted
in the Paris court, Mrs. Pickford
will remarry. Friends in Wash
ington deny knowledge Of such a
marriage and they express surprise
at Mrs. Pickford's action yesterday
in the face of a recent statement
she made as follows:
But 1t is not true that I have in.
stituted divorce proceedings against
him. Nor do intend to sue him
for divorce, legal separation, ali.
mony or anything. wish to deny
the entire rumor about our matri-
monial break.
And Mrs. Pickford said this while
she was scrubbing a floor in a room
in a Greenwich Village attic where
she was studying to be an artist.
Admitted Separation.
Mrs. Pickford did admit that she
was not living with her husband
and declared she would not return
to him. She continued her art
work until recently when she re-
turned to the city and made her
home with her family. She left
Washington several weeks ago to
study in Paris.

The couple lived together but a
short time. Rumors that the TO-

in the romance did not become
known until during the latter part
of 1922, the same year they were
married, when Mrs. Pickford ap-
peared in Greenwich Village and
announced she would devote her
life to art.
Before her marriage, Mrs. Pick.
ford was in the chorus Of the "Pass.

comedies. She was very popular
in Washington.
Mrs. Pickford's father, DR.. W. T.

Her mother. Mrs. w. T. Burch, took
part in early suffragist movements,
and was later a member of the

stated today that he does not feel
he is in a position to make the
sacrifices such candidacy would
involve and that he must be con-
sidered out of 1t. Those in q posi-
ton to know state that Mr.. Zihlman
will surely have a fight on his
hands for the nomination and that
the name of his opponent will soon
be made known.
