Bill Harris Wife Denies
That Film Actor Beat Her

Los Angeles, Cal.-Winifred West
over Hart took the witness stand in
Judge Albert Stephens court and alb.
solved Bill Hart of three-year-old
charges of beating her up.
Harris attorney asked: I'm the pub
licity about your separation you were
repeatedly quoted as saying that Mr.
Hart had beaten you and dragged you
around by the hair"
'"That was published, but it wasn't
true,' she said with downcast eyes.
The vindication threw the court
room into sensation, as Hart sud
denly rose to his feet, raised pair
of trembling hands, and groaned loud
~, interrupting his wife's sobs;
I'll beg your pardon, your honor, !
Hart apologized, sitting down again
'.Eut you cannot tell how great re-
lief this is to me-
Mrs. Hart threw the burden of mari
tai differences upon the movie hero,
detailing their domestic life from the
marriage November Z, 1921, until she
said Hart elected her from their Hoi-

Bishop William, M. BrolOn
Found Guilty of Heresy

Cleveland, Ohio = Expulsion from
the ministry was announced here as
a fitting punishment for the Rt. Rev.
William Montgomery Brown, retired
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of Arkansas.
The finding came from the church's
board of review after three days of
argument on the action of the trial
court which last May found Bishop
Brown guilty of uttering doctrines con-
trary to those held by the church. The
reviewing body discovered no error in
the trial, affirming those proceedings
without exception.
Bishop William A. Leonard of Cleve-
land, presiding officer of the review
court, explained that the power to put
the sentence into effect rests with the
house of bishops That body will meet
at the general convention of the church
in New Orleans next September.

Nations Riches Show In
crease of 1872 Per Cent
Since 1912.

Washfngton.-The wealth of the

sus bureau, was placed at $32O,SO3,-
862 Co., This was an increase of 1872
per cent for the decade, since in 1912
the census found the nations wealth
to be $1Se, 299, 1854, 900.
Many difficulties and necessarily
wide margins for estimate and error
in putting together it's calculations,
the bureau said, made its findings inn
possible of the close application given
to its population estimates.
The item of greatest value in the
category of national wealth was real
estate and it's improvements subject
to taxation, which were found to be
worth $155, 908,625,O00. The second
item in point of size was the grouped
valuation of the clothing, furniture,
vehicles and like property of individ-
uals, which totaled $39,S16O01, 900.
Third on the list was the value of
manufactured products on hand and
in distribution placed at $2S,422, 84S,-
600, while the next largest item was
SIC, 800, $4,000 representing real prop
erty and it's improvements listed by
the states as exempt from taxation.
The value of railroads and their
equipment as demonstrated largely
from compilations of interstate COM
merce commission reports. was esti-
mated at $199OO,8OOOO0.
The machinery, implements and
tools of manufacturing industry were
found to be worth $15.783,200000
while the value of public utility prop
erty, including telegraph and telephone
systems, electric light and power sys-
tens, street railways, canals and irri-
cation enterprises. was fixed at $15,-
14,447.O 600.
Live stock on farms was valued at
1907, 100000, and motor vehicles of
all classes were said to be worth S4,-
567 100000, or nearly billion less
than the figure given for agricultural
products on hand at the same time.
which was $5,465, 100000. The coun-
try's possessions of gold and silver
came Ear down on the list of valua-
tons, being $4.27S.155. 900.

HOOVER REFUSES
new CABINET JOB
Unable to Accept Offer of
Agricultural Department
Portfolio.

shingtOn.-Herbert Hoover, who
years ago declined the interior secre-
taryship from the hands of President
Harding, has refused an offer of the
Agricultural department portfolio from
President Coolidge. Mr.. Hoover pre-
fers to stay at the head of the Depart
ment of Commerce.
With the Presidents approval, Mr..
Hoover issued this statement:
in view of the press reports, 1t
seems to be desirable to state that
the President did me the honor to
suggest that | consider transfer to the
post of secretary of agriculture.
''He expressed his belief that the
present need of that department was
an administration in which emphasis
should be given to solution of the
farmers marketing problem.
ITO this / fully agree. Nevertheless,
/ felt that, in the future as in the past,
the greatest contribution could make
toward Improvement of the farmers
position lay in the advancement OF
measures that make for reduction OF
costs of our whole distribution system,
and in helping to bring about improve
ment and stability in the general In
dustrial and commercial situation both
at home and abroad The farmers
problem is problem of the nation as
a whole.
Il deeply appreciate the confidence
which the President has shown in me,
but / have told him that l believe 1t
would be to the best interest for me
to decide against the suggestion. which
i have DONE"

The sloth, purely arboreal animal
of Central and South America, prac-

These animals hang head down in the

Fishes sleep as regularly as human
beings, but since they have no eyelids
they do not appear to sleep. Most
species sleep at night and rest upon
the bottom; some kinds even lie upon
their sides.
The geological survey says that
there are no springs known to storm.
Any such condition would be caused
by the air pressure on the outside Of
the spring lessening, due to the change
of the barometer. However, such
change would hardly be noticed and
few, if any, streams of this sort have
been discovered.
