Mrs. Aimee Semple McPher-
SON probably never will come
t. trial "a charges nov pend

sensational story Of having
been kidnapped for six weeks
early last summer.
Fake" Was Charged
District Attorney Asa Keyes
announced he had asked for q
grand jury hearing to consider the
--latest" confession Of Mrs. Lor-
raine Seilaff, perpetrator
Of the "Miss X Carmel hoax in
connection with the Mcpherson
case.
It is charged that she faxed
the story to cover up an alleged
tryst between Kenneth G. Ormis-
ton, radio operator at the evan
gelist's famous temple, and a
woman who has been identified
as the evangelist, in a love cot
tage at Carmel-by-the-Sea, during
the time Mrs. Mcpherson said she
was in the hands of the kid
napers.
Move Noted BY Reyes
Keyes said he is convinced that
1t will be impossible to convict
Mrs. Mcpherson, largely because
of the failure Of Mrs. lorraine
Wiseman-Seilaff. one of the princi
pal witnesses against the evange-
list. to stick to the story she told
at the preliminary hearing Of haV-
ing been hired to pose as the
woman who occupied the Carmel
cottage.
"No prosecutor" said Reyes,
would feel justified in placing into
jeopardy defendants accused by
witnesses in whose testimony no
credence can be placed"

Keyes scathingly denounced Mrs.
Wisemar-Seilaff as a "turncoat"
and "a perjurer."

SAFE, IS
BELIEF

CARMEN, Okla, Dec. so. Mrs.
"a. IL Cameron, residing here,
grandmother Of Mrs. Gladys w.
HOuCi missing wife Of the
washington Hospital payclliat rist,
today made formal denial N Ck-
NieeFa that size knew an latIll
81 her relatives whereabouts.
Mrs. Cameron said that she had
not seen Mrs HOuCk In years,
and knew 81 her Glisappe araIlce
only ~ what she had read II
newspapers.
That young Mrs. Gladys w.
Houck, missing wife of the de-
ranged st. Elizabeth s Hospital
psychiatrist, is alive and well,
but far from Washington, was
the confident opinion expressed
today by Headquarters De-
tective Benjamin Kuehling,
who has been probing the mys-
terry of her disappearance for
Is days.
Prominent Persons Involved
That the explanation Of her dis
appearance will disclose . sensa-
tional series of episodes, involving
prominent persons, is a corollary
opinion of Kuehling.
After days and nights Of investi-
CATION, during which every known
clue has been meticulously checked,
Detective Kuehling today is con-
fident that DR.. Knut H. Houck,
the husband who is now under
arrest at Gallinger Municipal Hos
pital, has told a straight story.
Drop Belief of Death
In spite Of the admitted quarrel
and fight between DR.. Houck and
his 27-year-old wife the night of
her disappearance, in spite of his
flight toward the Canadian border,
and of his effort to burn her torn
nightgown before going, and in
spite OF the further fact that she
has not been heard of since, de.
tectives do not believe she is dead.
Il have not by any means given
up hope Of breaking this mystery"
Kuehling said today. IT do not be-
lieve this woman's disappearance
can much longer remain wholly in
the dark"
kuehling indicated he has some
recent information which may pos
sibly lead to solution.
Mrs. Elizabeth M. Hill, owner of
the residence at 1716 Twenty.first
st. N. W., was to appear at the
office of Assistant District Attorney
George d. Horning this afternoon
for questioning.
Kuehling and Captain Wilson, of
the Eleventh police precinct, be-
lieve DR.. Houck's story for many
reasons.
One is, he has appeared frank In
talking of the case. Again. a ga.
rage man near the Houck home at
1927 Nichols Ave, S. E.. confirms
that Houck told him of Mrs,
Houck's early departure the morn.
ing she left, and asked il the ga
rage man saw her. A hospital at
tendant says the same thing.
Searched For His Wife
DR.. Houck, before he left Wash.
fngton. searched for his wife over
a difficult route along the river
front at Giesboro Point.
He returned home and made out
a check for SILT to his wife, and
left it for her in the belief. he says.
that she would return.
If Mrs. Houck was slain, her
body must have been taken from
their home. They had no car.

Boy of Five Steers Auto
 Over Steep Embankment

Albany, N. r., Aug. 70 pt-lh hret- year-old Edward Sears, Jr., son of Mir. and Mrs. Edward Sears of Bos- ton, Mass, and his cousin, Eleanor Hennessey five. of this city, are re- covering from brusises which they received when an automobile ln which they were riding hurled over 70-foot embankment into Lincoln park.
 The little girl jumped as the ma chine dropped over the embank- ment, but the boy who was driving daddy's car" stuck to the wheel ut-- til the car made it's first somersault. Then he was thrown clear of the machine, slid 20 feet down the bank, grabbed q small tree and watched the car tumble it's way down to the bottom of the bank.
 The boys father was playing ball in the park when he saw his car cofe over the embankment with his little son at the wheel. The children had climbed into the machine while it was standing in front of the Hem messy home on the steep South Hawk street hill, facing the park. Sears said he thought his boy must have 1osseened the brakes. Both children were taken to the hospital, but it was found they had suffered only a few minor bruises. The ma. chine was demolished.

KELLOGG TALKS {. 0F MEXICAN ISSUE
Discusses International Prob.
 lens With Sheffield

Washington, Aug. 25 P,-Mexi- co.'s present troubles. particularly her dispute with the United States over the new land and oil laws, were discussed today at a confer ence between Secretary Kellogg and Ambassador Sheffield, just home from the Mexican capital.
 The ambassador brought with him to the state department many first hand details of the religious controversy in the southern repub- lie, and exact information about the attitude of the Gales govern ment on this and other questions now disturbing Mexico City off, cials.
 Nominally in the United States on vacation, MT. Sheffield made his report to the state department his first duty. Later he probably will see President Coolidge at the summer White House at Paul Smiths, N. I.
 The ambassadors call here was made the occasion for a repitition of the oft-started view of the Washington government that the religious issue in Mexico must be regarded as purely domestic 10 that country. Calling for no diplo- matte intervention from Washing ton, the only concern here is that the rights of American citizens be safeguarded.
 Department officials insisted that despite surface conditions of a dis agreement, the ambassador and the secretary were working in per- feet harmony toward solution of the oil and land problems. Mr. Sheffield has indicated that he favors a strong stand for protection of American rights, but he had no public word of criticism today for the counciliatory tone which has characterized the American notes delivered by him, on orders from Washington, to the Mexican foreign office.
 When his attention was called to reports that he was preparing to resign, MT. Sheffield called atten- ton to the statement issued by MT. Kellogg after his recent conference with the president at Paul Smiths. In that statement the secretary de- clared the ambassador would keep his post, and that no change was desired by him or the state de- partment.
 If that statement was made" said Ambassador Sheffield, it must be true"

|CATALONIANS SAY
 SPAIN IS TYRANT
Declares That Civic Rights Are
 Being Suppressed

Geneva, Switzerland, Aug. 25 P(- The Catalonian delegation to the European minorities congress which opened here today has charged Spain with suppressing their civic rights So long as justice, the rights of man and minimum of liberty are not granted their people, Catalonia will continue a source of disorder and danger to international peace, the delegates declare.
 Dr. Maspons Anglassell, chief of the Catalonia group, in an address before the congress, which seeks to protect the rights of minorities, as serted that dangerous problems of nationality now flourish by the dog ems in Europe. He said that only few minority problems existed at the beginning of the World war and that these problems partially caused the war. .-5"r
 Notwithstanding the manner in which the Catalonians feel they have been treated, Dr. Anglasseli de- clared the people have decided not to resort to violence to redress their wrongs and thus to change the map of Europe, but to join the Geneva congress in an effort to seek peace ful solution through judicial formu- late. He said Catalonia always would keep her language. literature and Individuality and asserted Cata-, lOQia had her parliament before England had her magma charta.
 The minorities congress has been given added importance from the fact that no fewer than 31 minority deputies from European parliaments and several senators are present. There are two German deputies, Sterbach and Tienzl from the Italian Tyrol. four German deputies from Poland and German parliamenta- rians from Jugoslavia. Rumania and Czecho-Slovakia.
