Dancing Star YearnS for
Public PIauditS, Not
One Mans.

By United Press
PARIS, DEC. 18.-The runaway
marriage last year Roszika Dolly
and young Mortimer Davis, son OF
the Montreal tobacco millionaire.
is about to end in the divorce court,
it was rymored in Paris theatrical
circles today.
Persistent reports have been cir
culated of an eStrangement. Davis
refused to discuss, the subject of a
divorce today but Miss Dolly said.
1T could come to that"
The reason for the breach was
said to be Miss Dolly'S desire 60
return to the stage with her sister,
Yanci, other half of the famous
dancing team. Miss Dolly's friends
said she was "pining away to re
sumo her career, but that her hus--
band refused to permit her to re-
turn to the stage.
Since the return of the couple
from Deauville last summer they
have lived apart. Miss Dolly has
been spending most of her time on
the Riviera, where she stayed for
several weeks with Norma Tai
madge.
The Dolly sisters wanted to open
a cabaret near the Champs ElyseeS,
where the sisters would be head
lined, but Davis again objected.
The sisters are now completing
their joint memoirs, covering many
interesting incidents of the last de-
cade of the stage and social life of
the United States and the cont
nent.
The marriage of Miss Dolly to
Davis caused an estrangement be-
tween him and his father, Sir Nor
timer Davis. Sir Mortimer died
soon after the marriage. His will,
disposing of an estate estimated at
more than $100,000,0O0, was so ar
ranged that his sons wife could not
share in the estate.

Practical methods to further the

cause it recognizes the heart of the
peace problem and pledges nations

STATE TO SIFT
HUGE COST OF
POOR RELIEF
Hammond trustee Records
1924, 288 Expense in
~ Months.

How $234,288 could be spent
legitimately for poor relief in one
township of the city of Hammond,
Ind, in twenty-five months, is the
question Erick Lund, trustee, must
explain to the. state board Of &C
counts, it was disclosed today.
Lawrence B. Orr, chief examiner,
has requested Lund, trustee of
North township, Lake county, to ap-
pear before him Thursday to dis
cusS the report of examiners Show
ing startling drafts on the poor re-
lief fund.
Lund'S expenditure for poor re-
lief in only one township of Ham
mond, a city of $4,000 population,
averaged $10,649 a month. In Cen
ter township of indianapolis, a city
of more than 100000 population, an
average of about $4,000 was spent
last year.
Far Less in indianapolis
Total expenditure for poor relief
in Center township in 1927 was less
than 100000, Mrs. Amelia Harding,
trustee, said Center township is
one of the most populous in Indi-
ana, comprising the central portion
of Indianapolis, in which the
poorer districts of the south, east
and Negro sections are located.
The accountants report shows
that from Jan. l, 1927, to Oct. 81,
1928, Lund spent $83,O72 for "med-
ical service" $50,291 for hospital
service and $16,905 for dental serv-
ice, as compared with only $4,000
for food.
Food, coal and clothing ordinarily
are by far the heaviest items of
expense on trustees reports.
The examiners particularly will
ask Lund as to the expenditures for
medical service" as the result of
several aftldavits they obtained
from doctors and nurses indicating
that Lund and certain doctors were
splitting fees. Lund and the doc
tors already have denied this

FOR CHINESE AID
Appeal to Women to
Help on Tag Days

An appeal was issued from the
headquarters of the United Coun-
ellis of Working Class Women yes
terday to participate in the tag days
for the aid of the Chinese Trade
Unions and workers which will be
held this Saturday and Sunday.
The appeal, which is made for the
purpose of securing increased funds
and help for the Chinese workers
and peasants, oppressed both by the
reactionary Marking regime and by
the foreign imperialist pow rs, is
made to all members of the militant
women's organization, and especially
to the secretaries of the different
councils.
Kate Gitlow, secretary of the
United Councils of Working Glass
Women, in. a statement made yes
terday, described the utter want and
miserable conditions under which
the Chinese workers. and their
wives ana children are forced to I'M
dergo at the hands of the reaction
airy forces. "The lot of the workers
is miserable enough" she said, "but
the position in which the women
and children are placed by far ex-
ceeds that of any nation in the
world today" She stressed the fact
that in view of these conditions, the
American women ought to do all in
their power to help their Chinese
comrades.
Boxes for those who will partici-
pate in the collection campaign are
now ready at the headquarters OF
the organization, 80 East 18th st.

CHARGE POLICE
CRAFT IN C0NEY
Residents Say Cops are
Bribed by Bath Owners

Members of the Van Sicklen Tax
Payers Association, an organization
made up of people living in Coney
Island away from the amusement
center, at it's regular Monday night
meeting in Guffanti's Inn, Ocean
Parkway and Neptune Ave, passed
a unanimous resolution, requesting
that an investigation be made on
charges that the Coney Island
police are working hand in hand and
being paid by the owners Of private
beach bath houses to force residents
to wear full clothes on the way to
the beach and thus pay for the
privilege of bathing.
The resolution, read by Walter
Cleary, president of the association,
condemned the action of the Coney
Island police in serving summonses
on hundreds of people living in
Coney Island daily, for going
through the streets in bathing suits.
The action of the police, it is
charged, is caused by the owners Of
the bath houses, who, the organiza-
ton implies, have given graft to the
police in efforts to increase their
own business. No ordinance against
walking in the streets in bathing
suit in Coney Island, has ever been
passed, and the arrests are there
fore illegal.
