ALBANY. AVENUE
BOULEVARD VALUES

An evidence of the increas-
ing interest in property
situated along the Albany
Avenue Boulevard is shown
in value at which frontage
is held today and the i'm
provement that is being
made in these values.
The Boardwalk end of the
Albany Avenue Boulevard
has a front value approx
mately $4,000 per foot, while
the Pleasantville end of the
boulevard at its junction with
the Shore road is held at ap.
proximately $1,000 per foot.
Construction of apartments
and stores on the Shore road
just south of the Albany Ave
nue. Boulevard, or erona Ave.
nue. Boulevard, or Verona
Avenue corner, is a point in
values i'm that section. These
modern stores and apart.
ments are now practically
completed and give a fine
solid street front.
In. harmony with these
values and indicating that
property in this section of
the Jersey shore is a live
marketable commodity is the
activity in West Atlantic City
sales where many transactions
are taking place. One of the
purchasers of property in the
Third Section, West Atlantic
City, is John FL. Oler, who
has taken six lots. John Ell.
Oler & S9n own a frontage
of MS feet on Albany Ave
nue. Boulevard adjoining G.
NC Garage which they are
holding at Sl35, 900, or $93l
per front foot.
This clearly shows the
trend of values and the
slogan of Benjamin r. Fox
of Gone Thousand Dollars a
Front Foot on Albany Ave-
nue. Boulevard seems to be
realized in the near future.

THEY OUTCROW LIMITS

i IA - w WV w A1A4'AA -
That West Atlantic City is
entering upon a period of I'M
precedented home construct
ion of character experience
ed in Boston and New York
when these Cities had out
grown their narrow corporate
limits, was proved definitely
by the interest that has been
shown in South Jerseys
premier development, in the
opinion of various realtors
of Atlantic City.
Interest shown by the
thousands of visitors in The
resort and particularly i'll
West Atlantic City, argues
well for the future suburban
developments of the Worlds
Playground. Lively interest
is shown in West Atlantic
City because of the accom-
plishment that has already
taken place, and the definite
promise of more in the
future.
All doubt as TO the con-
tinuity of the local real
estate market has been ex-
PEELED. indication shows that
there is vast population in
Philadelphia and New York
which is being forced TO seek
new home sites away from the
noise and dirt of the city,
due to the cncroachment of
business and industry on the
older residential districts.
Statesmen who have talked
to hundreds on the famous
Boardwalk, discovered keen
interest likewise in the in
vcstment features of home
building properties, and
thousands of new prospects
were obtained.

GIGANTIC WAR
PREDICTED BY
RUSSIAN ENVOY
League Committee Given
Lengthy Document on
Coming. Struggle.
By FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

GENEVA, Dec. Russia today
followed up her demand for immed-
late and complete disarmament by
handing the Preparatory Disarma-
ment commission an II page memor-
andum predicting new and un'
precedentedly gigantic war.
The memorandum was handed in
bv Maxim M. Litvinoff, foreign un-
der secretary and head of the Soviet
delegation, who yesterday presented
the demand for disarmament.
After denouncing the efforts to
fix the guilt for the start of the
last war, the new memorandum de-
clared that such discussions aimed
not to find the real origins of the
war but to seek a pretext for wag-
ing it.
The memorandum detailed World
War casualties and post war debts.
Despite that disaster' it con
tinued, "the world is frenziedly
heaping up new armaments while
the League of Nations is reviving
commercial hopes.
The Russian memorandum com
puted the material cost of the World
War as $247 1926, 900, ,000-besides in
direct damage suffered by private
European property owners, which
was estimated at 1850, 600, 900 and
loss of shipping tonnage worth $6,-

"HOT MAMA" ROW
WAKES MERRILY
in /. A. COURT
Ry United Press Leased Wire

Los ANGELES, Dec. 1.-The
question of how much raiment a
"Hot Mama'' should wear settled
down to battle of personalities
here today as the selection of q
jury to try chorus girls and men of
the Follies theater on charges of
presenting a lewd performance, near
completion
Declaring that the object of the
def.nse in exhausting their jury
challenges was to make the case
look as ridiculous as possible, the
Rev. Fighting Bob' Shuler, one
of the witnesses, charged that time
was being wasted in an effort to
show how much money the trial was
costing the city.
1--WE don U need to take time to
make Bob Shuler look ridiculous, -
was the answer of Attorney Joe
Ford, he speaks for himself. - Mean
while Attorney Ford, representing
the 80 chorus girls and actors, con
tinued to weed out of the jury box
men and women holding Puritani-
cal ideas.
A large crowd, composed mostly
of bald headed men, thronged the
courtroom, today, disappointed that
the "hot mamas' themselves were
absent. The Rev. Shuler and Rev.
Gustave Breigleb, who witnessed the
performance of "Hot Mama were
also absent during the selection of
the jury.

COTTON WAR"
WAGES AROUND
INLAND RANCHES

Cotton, cotton, who owns the
cotton.
The fight is on with the superior
courtroom of department two as the
main battle ground and two ranches
located near INLAND as branch bat
tlefields. The doors of the county
jail were opened last night to ad-
nit six prisoners of war, captured
by order of Erwin R. Van Horn,
general of one of the armies, but
the prisoners were later freed un-
der bond.
1t is a part of the old civil bat
tie waged beteen Irene Elizabeth
Capron, as administrator of the
estate of Sara F. Donley against
Van Horn, and others, and against
Prescott West, and others.
The present skirmish was opened
short time ago by the Imperial
Valley Farming Company and the
Hartman Mill and Ginning Com
pany against Van Horn and West,
and co-defendants, the plaintiffs
seeking to protect an alleged in
terest in a cotton crop, alleged to
have been planted by them on the
property through contract with
Irene f. Capron, while she was in
possession of the two estates, and
which later were given into the
hands of the defendants by court
order.
The farming and ginning COM
panies have filed two seperate ac-
tions against the Van Horn and
West defendants seeking to obtain
Judgment giving them possession of
the cotton and this morning two
suits also asking possession of the
cotton crop were filed by the de-
PENDANTS in the previous actions.
In the meantime the farming and
ginning company put men at work
picking cotton and yesterday after
noon a warrant. for their arrests
was issued by Judge Myers. Sheriff
Charles Gillett rounded up six cot
ton pickers but bail was later fur
nished for their release pending
airing of the case in Judge Myers
court.

MIDWEST GETS
TOUCH OF REAL
WINTER WEATHER

The Middle West shivered today
in the coolest weather of the season,
with temperatures in many sections
below zero and forecasts predicting
even lower marks before the end of
the week.
Strong northwest winds, sweeping
out of Alaska and Canada sent
thermometers tumbling after several
unseasonablv warm November days.
A drop of more than 40 degrees was
reported in some places.
Snow fall, rapidly rising water
and disrupted wire communication
and transportation added to the dis
comfiture in several sections.
Indiana probably was the most
severely hit by the sudden turn. A
biting sleet storm isolated the cen
tral part of the state for a time
yesterday by disrupting telephone
and telegraph service and halting
train movements
Rapidly rising waters throughout
the Wabash Valley added to the suf-
fering.
Snow fell in Nebraska, Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma, the Texas pan
handle and parts of Illinois. The
fall in parts of Missouri was said
to be the heaviest since 1906.
Only one death had been report
ed. The body of railroad worker
was found near Grand Junction,
Colo. He had been lost in a bliz-
zard.
Hibbing, Mimi, reported the low
est temperature yesterday-1s de-
grees below zero.
Professor Henry Cox, district
weather forecaster at Chicago, said
no relief could be expected before
early next week.
The western half of Canada shiv-
cred in the intensely cold weather
Edmonton, Alta, reported low

his asserted amorous advances, Ricn-
ard Ewelle, negro butler, shot and
possibly fatally injured Mrs. Mar
caret Pumphrey, wife of a Los An
geles department store executive, IN
her home here today.
According to Mrs. Humphrey tn,
butler attempted to criminally as
sault her and when she ran scream
ing through the house, Ewelle is al
legged to have drawn revolver,
shooting the woman and then com
ritting suicide by firing a bullet
through his brain.
The negro was found dead by of
ficers who were summoned by other
servants. Mrs. Pumphrey was re-
moved to the Hollywood hospital

Mrs. Pumphrev in bedroom on the
first floor of the Humphrey home,
according to police.
Woman Battles Maniac
She broke away and fought him
off, running through the room, striE-
i,;g him with pieces of furniture, and
throwing vases and other ornamental
pieces at him, police say. The en-
tire lower floor bore evidence of a
prolonged struggle.
When she continued to repulse him
the negro drew a gun and threatened
to kill her. Daring death the des-
perate woman ran up the stairway
to the second floor. The negro had
locked the doors on the first floor
and had removed the keys.
Rushing to window Mrs. Puii-
phrey screamed for help and at
tempted to break open a screen and
jump. Neighbors and workmen
nearby heard the screams and start
cd running to the house.
While Mrs. Humphrey was at
tempting to break open the screen,
the negro, now maniacal, fired three
shots at her. Two of the bullets
went through the screen but the
third struck Mrs, Pumphrey and she
fell to the floor.
The negro rushed to the window
and seeing the neighbors approach
ing the house, placed the muzzle Of
the revolver against his temple and
'ired. He was dead when reseuers
broke into the house and Mrs.
humphrey was unconscious.
The butler had been in the en-
nloy Of the Humphreys for only a.
J. 1t three months. Until today,
