La Toilette Urged to
IndOrse Gov. Bryan
For His Running Mate

Charles w. Bryan, Democratic
vice president nominee, has been
suggested to Senator Robert M. La
Toilette as a running mate in the
Wisconsin Senator's independent
race for the White House this year,
It was learned today.
! Friends haZe urged that La
Toilette endorse Governor Bryan, it
was said, feeling that with La
Toilette he would poll sufficient
votes to win the vice presidential
election. In the event the pres
1dential election were thrown into
the House and Senate, which is not
impossible, these friends declared
Democrats and Progressives, by
uniting forces, could elect Bryan to
the White House.
Silent On Reporv.
La Follette's headquarters here,
maintaining strict silence at the
Senator's request, refused to com.
ment on the report.
Likewise, comment was refused
on a report that William Gibbs Nc
Adoo, defeated Democratic candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination, had Deen urged by
friends to accept second place on
the ticket with La Toilette.
There was growing belief among
impartial political observers in
Washington today that in view OF
what promises to be q tight three.
cornered presidential race, one Of
the vice presidential nominees, if
the election goes into Congress,
would stand an excellent chance to
enter the white House.
This is why La Toilette and his
advisers are taking extreme caution
in naming running mate. La
Follette's vice presidential candidate
will be selected next Saturday at a
meeting here between the Senator
and the national committee Of the
Conference for Progressive Political
Action.
V. p. Possibilities.
Those who have been mentioned
most prominently to run with La
Toilette are:
Huston Thompson, chairman Of
the Federal Trade Commission;
Senators Wheeler (Dem.) Of Mon
tana, Brookhart Rep) of Iowa,
Dill Dem) of Washington, and
Norris Rep) Of Nebraska, and
Congressman La Guardia Rep.) Of
New York, and Huddleston Dem.)
of Alabama.
1t was said in weil.informed
quarters today that La Toilette
himself was seeking "a strong
eastern Democrat" Although his
home is in Colorado, Thompson,
who has lived in Washington for
many years, is considered by La
Follette's friends as an "easterner."

Builders Are Applying
Warm Overcoats
To Houses

Houses now under construc-
ton are better clothed than their
predecessors, according to a
trade survey just completed by
building engineers. AS a result
of the last coal shortage, it is
said, builders are commonly ap-
plying padded "overcoats" to
outer walls in order to cut down
the need for coal next season.
The "overcoats" are of cattle
hair, chemically treated and
stitched between two sheets of
asbestos paper, and are usually
fitted to the outside sheathing.

Rich, movie star, and recounted to
her tales Of his ancestral palace
in Bagdad and his many, oh 80
many wives.
His portrayal of riches to Miss
Rich recalls the many statements Of
Prince Zerdecheno about his father,
Abou Hassan, who had thousand
room palace in Kurdistan, $4,000
horses, $4,000 camels, and 10000
sheep.
In those days Prince Zerdecheno
had but twenty-five girls in his
harem, but the Emir has fifteen
more. Evidently his popularity has
grown.
The EXPOSE" further states that
the Emir landed in America fresh
from two convictions abroad. He
Is said to have been sentenced in
fraud and in Paris to three months
for not paying hotel bill.
When in America before the Emir
is said to have been kicked out of
number Of hotels. At the Penn.
sylvania in New York his baggage
was seized for an unpaid bill of
$274.
The Emir, the expose declares, is
really Jay A. BOnsOu, Chicago book
agent and London pants presser.
His career has been an adven.
turous one. He is said to have
claimed in the past to be Crown
Prince of Egypt, Crown Prince of
Kurdistan, cousin Of the King Of
Spain, King Feisal Of Mesopatamia
and Renal Pasha of Turkey. He
was accepted by New York's
wealthy classes and claimed ac-
quaintance with the city's richest
and leaders in society.
1.-THE Prince de Ounce" Is what
that man Is now dubbed.
In 1922, Prince Zerdecheno with
Princess Fatima and party Of a
half dozen, came to Washington,
registered at one Of the hotels. They
were interviewed and photographed
half dozen times each day during
their stay here.

They even got so far as to be
received by President Harding in
the White House.
The expose OF Zerdachcn6 and
Stephen Weinberg. who claimed he
was a naval officer, did not come
until the party left Washington
after being accorded great honors
in the National Capital.
Washington wonders whether the
Emir and his beautiful companion

1t appeared extremely unlikely to-
day that the Emir, or Prince
zerdecheno or Jay Benson, or what.
ever he may be, would emerge from
seclusion in New York and make his
way to the National Capital. But he
may, and, so Washington awaits his
arrival with much interest.
