OF Chicago Primary

Washington, June n-(P1-A de-
partment of justice inquiry into the
Chicago primary of April IS was re-
Quested in a resolution today by

Tense opened it's case. Stanley B.
Toothaker, Albert Deshon and John r.
SamburSky are charged with shooting
the policeman one night last March
when he attempted to question occu-
pants of a stolen automobile.
Mrs. Jeanette Toothaker testified for

fined to recalling his boyhood. He was
subject to commissions until five years
old. she said, and left school, where he
was backward pupil. at the age of Is.
Bernard K. Killian, Toothaker' S
counsel, told the jury he would show
that his client had no revolver the
night Comeau was shot, that he had
never fired one in his life, was weak
and sickly and had 12-year-old men

The state rested having read alleged
confessions by the three defendants

That of SamburSky was read last,
and corroborated in detail the state
ments of his companions, produced
earlier in the trial after an attorneys

PRESIDENT BORNO
OF HAITI JEERED
AS HE LANDS AT N. Y.

New York, June 11.--(P)-Presi-
dent Louis Borno of Haiti, arriving
today as the first chief executive of
that country to visit the United
States, not only failed to receive
from the harbor forts the 21-gun
salute to which he was entitled but
met with distinctly unfriendly
demonstration from some Of his
countrymen resident here.
Butler Wright, assistant secretary
of war, w. w. Cumberland, financial
adviser from the United States to
Haiti, army officers and other rep
resentatives of the United States
greeted the presidential visitor. Mr..
Cumberland explained to President
Borno in regard to the failure of
the presidential salute that there had
been some confusion as to the time
of his arrival.
AS President Borno stepped
ashore he was greeted by Haitians
wearing vari-colored paper hats.
With catcalls and jeers they acclaim
ed the first visit of a president of
Haiti to the United States. They
held placards bearing uncompli-
mentary legends, printed in Eng
lish.
Bowling right and left, President
Borno, who understands little Eng
lish, graciously acknowledged the
catcalls, the raucous jeers and pla-
cards, all Of which he believed the
signs Of an ovation, and stepped into
waiting automobile,
Passengers aboard the Ancon said
President Borno had been heckIed
by larger groups of Haitians as he
embarked at Porto Au Prince last

Newark. N. j.. June 11.-R-A
plump chestnut haired young woman
and a freckled face boy tonight met
reporters running down the story
that Wesley Barry, youthful movie
star. had obtained a marriage license
in this city.
1T was case of love at first
sight," said the young woman, Julia
Wood. 23-year-old vaudeville actress,
of this city. She is somewhat the
taller and chung to his arm as she
spoke.
I'VE met two and a half years
ago in Terre Haute," she continued.
I'VE have been together as often as
Wesley could get away from his
work, and We'll be married here in
my home on Monday night.
It's my first venture" she confld-
ed blushingly.
And mine, too" said Wesley,
aged Is. He Redeemed beneath the
freckles. dug his toe into the car
pet and twisted his brilliant sports
sweater around nervous fingers.
But we're going to make a go
OF It," he asserted. 1--WE are going
to Hollywood on Monday night,
must go back to work. 1--WE bought
bungalow and we're going to start
housekeeping"
The Woods came to Newark from
illinois two years ago.
-Four years ago Barry starred in

he portrayed brought reflected prom
lnence to many excessively freckled
male and female juveniles through
out the country.

CHARGE RUSS MONEY
SENT WAS EFFORT TO
OVERTHROW BRITAIN

London, juno 11.-P-A strong
note protesting against the sending Of
! money by the Russian Soviet govern
ment to assist the workers during the
recent general strike in Great Britain,
was dispatched to Moscow by the Brit
ish government last night.
1t was transmitted to Sir Robert
Hodgson. British representative at
Moscow, for presentation to the soviet
government.
No official text of the document is
yet available, and only its general
tenor is known.
The communication, according to I'M
official versions, sets forth the British
authorities have definite proof that
part Of the money offered from Mos
cow to the trades union congress was
donated by the soviet government it.
self. This money, the note adds, was
sent in violation of the Anglo-Russian
trade agreement and the belief If held
that it was intended to foster move
ment to bring about change of gov
eminent in Great Britain.
1t Is recalled by the Labor party
that the trades union council returned
the Russian check sent during the gem
eral strike. But the labor contention
Is that there is nothing to prevent the
Russian miners or trades unions from
subscribing for the assistance of the
British miners in genuine trade dis
pute, as is being done by other for
eign labor bodies.
1t Is pointed out that large sums
have already been received by the min
ers from Germany, Belgium, Holland
and other European countries and that
money Is on the way from the United
States.
The British note takes the position
that the money from Moscow undoubt-
edly has been sent. and could not have
been transmitted from Russian with
out the consent and connivance of the
soviet government, and that such en-
couragement constitutes an unfriendly
action and a breach Of the Russian
undertaking to avoid propaganda.
Herbert Smith. president Of the Min
ers' Federation. addressing the miners
near Doncaster tonight, said that
when In Russia some time ago he saw
pipes being sold which were made by
Baldwin & Co. and sent there from
England and paid for with Russian
money. He also saw boilers and ma
chinery Of British make going into
Russia. If II was wrong for the min
ers to take Russian money, he con-
tended it must be wrong to send goods
to Russia and accept Russian money
for them. The Russian money, he add
ed, was coming from the mine workers,
cooperative workers and agricultural
Workers, who up to last Tuesday had
ser:< more than 100000 pounds. They
had levied themselves to do this; 1t
was not because they wanted the Brit
ish to become Bolsheviki.
