international News Service.

/. LONDON, April 4.-Frank Tin
ney is dead broke and without the
price of meal. That was his
own declaration today in his
shabby quarters here when news
reached London that his wife had
secured permission to withdraw
her separation action in order to
institute divorce proceedings.
The comedian, heralded as the
exponent Of ruthlessness in love
in New York court actions last
summer, is without an engage
ment. He is living in small,
single room in an obscure hotel,
devoid of even the small luxury
of running water. An old-fash-
Toned wash bowl and a pitcher
serve instead.
Beans on Bureau.
Atop his bureau today stood a
partly consumed can Of baked
beans. Frank said there were
crackers and cheese in the bottom
drawer. -
Heretofore, Tinney has lived In
style in q spacious apartment, with
a retinue OF three nr four servants.
In the modest surroundings where
he received guests today, Tinney
described his meeting with Attor-
ney Oshrin, who secured evidence
for Mrs. Tinney that the comedian
admits will support q divorce ac-
ton. Tinney was staying at a hotel
in New Castle.
''One morning, just about dawn,
a knock at the door woke me. The
manager OF the hotel, two maids,
two walters, and Oshrin walked in"
Tinney said.
"sYou Frank Tinney?' oshrIn
asked me-. Half asleep admitted
was.
"'Just matter Of Identification
he said.
"He looked at the other side Of
the bed and was surprised to find
that my companion was Johnny
FIELDS, American actor playing with
me, in Some Time We had been
on q bat the night before.
''Imogene was then on her way
to Germany" he added, referring to
Imogene Wilson. whom Mrs. Tinney
said she would name az correspond
ent.
Sometime Was a Failure
Tinney's plea Of financial diff
culties seemed possible Of belief
today in view Of the fact that he
has had only one week in vaude-
willie since the first of November.
The Sometime" show in which he
was starred, proved a financial
failure.
Tinney said that $4,000 in salary
was owing him from the latter ven
lures. He said he paid the ex-
penses of the stranded cast from
Cardiff to London.
While he was outlining his finan-
ella plight, three former members
Of the cast of Sometime" walked
In and commisserated with the

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April A.
'.All a pack Of lies.
This was the answer OF Dorothy
Ellingson, sixteen-year-old n1atrictde
to the assertion Of three alienists Oh

Her sanity trial was in recess
today until Monday. Doctor Fred
B. Clark, Doctor F.. s. Marnell and

benefit of the jury which will de
termine her sanity.
In order to explain his deduc-
tons Doctor Bail used a black
board diagram. An alcoholic father
and a mentally disturbed mother
were hereditary factors, he said.
He then traced Dorothy through
her home, school, neighborhood.
occupational and social life and
found her lacking in disposition.
attitude. sentiment, habits, tastes,
ideals and virtue.
Intelligence Normal
In intelligence only, the girl
stands out as an average normal,
the expert declared. In viii, volt
ton and temperament, he said, she
is abnormal.
Dorothy again passed through a
day of court procedure without
fainting. This was due apparently
to two factors. She is determined
to show that she is not insane
and is fighting against any display
that might cause the jury to be-
Eeve her so.
In addition, humanitarian steps
have been taken to aid. A kindly
Jail matrop sits by her side, pets
and conyerses with her and when
recesses are taken permits her to
regain control Of herself before al
lowing her to leave her seat.

 Speakers from temperance organl- cations of Egypt, Burma, India, Cnl- na and Japan told the same story of younger generations of peoples with age-old traditions of abstinence and acceticism handed down thru religion and philosophy, making free use of the cocktail, champaign cup and stronger drinks at social func- tions.

Dane Criticises Government
 for Privilege to MacMillan

COPENHAGEN, July 31. P)-The Danish explorer, Peter Freuchen, launches a violent newspaper attack on the Danish government for per mitting the American explorer, Mac Milan, to search the ruins of Viking homesteads in Greenland on terms hitherto refused to highly reputed Danish explorers.
 Freuchen winds up his attack by saying that While Amundsen re- mained unheard from, any attempt at saving him-even by MacMillan might have been tolerated, but now that Amundsen is safe there is no reason to grant MacMillan any facilities.
