FAKE MINING SCHEMES
PAN MILLIONS, CHARGE

SPOKANE, Wash, March i P-
Fake mining schemes that mulct
millions from the public were ''pan-
ned out" before the Northwest Min
ing association convention here to-
day by Dean G.. E. Newton, of the
Oregon State College School of
Mines Newspapers, he said, should
employ men with technical training
to write mining news, that the
public may not be deceived.
He appealed to the association to
protect the public by disseminating
through the press information about
"fake schemes and to foster in
terest in legitimate mining and oil
Operations.
An old expression was quoted by
Dean Newton as he asserted that
"the general public knows very lit
tie about mining" The only
knowledge held by the general pub
lie, he averred, was propaganda
spread by promoters of fake
schemes"

FRENCH DIVORCE
In PAST GOOD,
SAY ATTORNEYS

PARIS, March / (R)-Americans who
have been divorced in France, even if
they maintained only a paper domi-
cile," have little need to fear the Ver-
sailles decision which threw out of
court the suit of Bainbridge Colby.
This was the opinion of a dozen law
yers who were consulted today by the
Associated Press.
In some Of the earlier cases, the
attorneys thought, there might be in
stances in which divorces granted here
could be annulled in state courts, but
this danger does not exist for any re-
cent suit.
The attorneys pointed out that it
was a fundamental basis of French
law that a judgment once given and
confirmed by the appellate court must
stand, even if later discovered facts do
not tally with those brought out at the
original hearing. A retrial is permitted
only if there was real error in pro-
cedure.
The possibility of annulment in the
home state of some of the American
divorces arises from the fact that until
a semester or so ago French courts,
once French domicile seemed estab-
lished, granted divorces on the same
grounds as to French citizens. These
grounds included incompatibility, in
suit or a oozen other causes which are
not recognized in several states of the
union
The opinion was expressed that an
nulment proceedings could be started
in home states provided it could be
shown that the person obtaining the
French divorce did not actually change
his or her domicile to France and that
state laws were not complied with.
Thus some persons might find them
selves legally divorced in France but
still securely tied together at home.
In the latter cases, however, the
French court have been insisting first
upon proof that state laws had been
complied with as well as those Of
France. Therefore, people who lived
in New York, for instance, could be
divorced only when adultery was
proven.
Marilyn Miller, it was learned au-
thoritatively today, was largely re-
sponsible for the tightening of the
wheels of justice in time to prevent the
Colby decree Widespread comment on
her action in America, a great deal of
it unfavorable to France, came to the
attention of Louis Barthou, minister
of justice. He Immediately issued a
strict order that in courts throughout
the country the law must be complied
with literally He warned jurists that
any judge disregarding this might find
himself on the retired list. Then
judges began telling petitioners for
divorces that it was just as easy to
get their bonds united at home, and a
lot cheaper, as over here they would
have to comply with the laws of France
as well as those of their home states.
Dozens of divorce petitions have
been withdrawn since this ruling be-
came effective.

ALFRED HICKMAN.
SAYS BROTHER
SHOWS INSANITY

HALL OF JUSTICE, LOS ANGELES,
March l t49-Convicted of murder, con-
demned to hang, accused of a second
killing and alleged in some quarters
to be insane, all make no difference
to William Edward Hickman, row on
trial here for the murder of G. Ivy
Toms, druggist.
Supporting the defense assertion
that Hickman is of unsound mind, his
elder brother Alfred, took the stand
today and said:
"Only the other day my brother told
he han enjoyed his stay in the county
Jail more than all the last two years.
81 asked him if he did not realize
how terrible it was for us that he
should be sentenced to be hanged. He
said it did not make any difference"
Prior to his appearance on trial in
the Toms case, in which murder is
charged against him and his compan-
ion in crime Welby Hunt, Hickman
was convicted and sentenced to death
for the killing of Marian Parker, IL,
whom he kidnapped from school and
held for ransom.
1Oudy . lSSC1lIIOlly 1OI I11ChIIld11 D QC :
fense in his trial for the Staying of
Toms, shot down in an attempted
holdup, covered again much of the
ground traversed in a vain attempt to
establish his insanity plea in the
Parker case.
His brother Alfred again went into
the witness box .and told of the change
that had come over the brilliant Kan
sas City high school student following
his defeat in an oratorical competition.
"He was absolutely changed; his
moral concepts were opposite to those
he had held" the brother swore.
Kansas City depositions appeared as
before. One from j. L. Loughlin, vice
principal Of the Central high school
there, said the deponent led by news
paper reports, believed Hickman was
insane at the time of the Parker mur
der.
Baylor Sutton's sworn opinion was
that ED" (Hickman) was kinda off,"
Alienists' testimony also went into
the defense record, as before

BOY KILLS SELF
EXPERIMENTING
IN ELECTRICITY

SPOKANE, Wash, March 1 Up
The body of Kenneth Brooks, 16-
year-old high school student, was
found tonight in his room, chained
and handcuffed to chair, and with
electric wires attached to the chains
He was apparently killed accidental
lily while experimenting to deter
mine the effeca of passing electrical
currents through the human body,
authorities said.
The boy had attached wire ex-
tensions from an electric light cord
to the chains binding his ankles
and the handouts encircling his
wrists. The cord was fastened to
an electric light plug and the other
end terminated in a small e'witch,
which was found gripped in Brooks
hand.
The body had been burned by
electricity around the chest and
ankles. Brooks was unclothed, ex-
cept for a pair of cotton trunks.

DOUGLAS DELIGHTED BY SUNNY.
and ALL ATTENDANCE RECORDS
AT GRAND THEATER BROKEN

the songs were of that compelling
force that sends the audience out of
the theatre humming the tune, but
everyone of them was of the popular
vintage that one remembers and ap-
preciates on hearing it second or
numerous other times. They were a
type of songs that easily explained the
genuine popularity that Sunny" has
enjoyed for months and is likely to
continue to enjoy for months to come.
The Grand theatre management last
night was much pleased with the re-
sponse that Douglas people and people
from this section of Cochise county as
we'll as from Bisbee, Tombstone, Will
cox and other points had shown to-
ward this show and it was stated That
other big productions may be expected
along reasonably soon, one being al
ready under consideration for April.
The cash receipts for the mouse last
night were announced by represen-
tative of the producer as $3,202. This
is almost 500 more than the total re-
ceipts for the appearance here of Harry
Lauder, the famous and popular Scotch
comedian who played to house which
showed cash of more than $500.

CIRCUS CLOWNS
ALL POWDERED
FOR BIG EVENT

Posters about the city call atten-
ton to the annual circus staged at the
Y. NJ G. A. by the physical culture
department of the "Y" The teams
that will participate in the circus this
year have been rehearsing with de-
termined purpose for several weeks and
it is stated by some who have been
watching the rehearsals but who have
no part in the show that there will be
some exceptional stunts offered in the
physical department.
The groups in posing are said to be
especially good in their work and have
been declared the equal of many
troups that are playing time on the
vaudeville circuits. There also will be
some strength demonstrations that are
said to be thrillers for an amateur
show.
In addition to the more artistic fea-
lures and physical culture work, there
will be fun in abundance, a number
of clowns having prepared to add to
the total entertainment by their gro
tesque makeup and eccentric actions.
Patronage of this shovi means a
contribution to the gymnasium equip
ment as the boys who are taking part
are giving their circus in order to pro-
vide means to buy some new equip
ment which can not be had unless the
funds are provided from some such
source as this.

JOHNSON WINS
FIRST SKIRMISH
ON BOULDER DAM

WASHINGTON, March / (H9 The
first skirmish in the long battle over
Boulder Canyon dam legislation was
won today by Senator Johnson, OF
California, author of one of tine sew
eral bills now before the senate ir-
rigation committee.
By a vote of six to four the COM
mittee rejected an amendment which
would have directed the secretary Of
the interior to negotiate with muni-
cipalities, states, individuals and corr
porations before proceeding to con-
struct a power plant at the proposed
dam
The bill as drafted by Senator
Johnson would leave to the discretion
iof the interior secretary whether
private interests, states or cities or
the federal government should con-
Struct the plant.
The vote on this amendment was
the only concrete action of the COM
mittee, which sat for nearly five hours
at morning and afternoon sessions.
Senator Johnson and other COM
mitteemen said that no progress was
made in the matter fo an agreement
on the main issues involved, the allo-
cation of the water as between the
Colorado river states and California
and the payment of net revenues
from the sale of power to Nevada
and Arizona.

CONGRESS HAS
MANY SUBJECTS
UP FOR DEBATE

WASHINGTON March / P--With
the senate tied up all day over the
middle Rio Grande conservancy pro-
ject and the house grinding along at
debate on the department of agricul-
ture appropriation bill, visit by
former Postmaster General Hays, now
a director of the movie industry, to
testify before the Teapot Dome COM
mittee came close to taking the con-
gressional spotlight for the day.
Hays raised the much discussed
Harry F.. Sinclair contribution to the
republican national committee deficit
from $4,000 to 100000.
The senate wrangle was largely a
knockdown and drag out affair be-
tween LaFollette of Wisconsin and
Bratton of New Mexico, as to whether
Pueblo Indians in New Mexico were
being badly treated in the land re-
clamation project under discussion.
The bill finally was passed, but not
many other senators took more than
an occasional dose of the debate and
it was seriously interrupted only once
when Mcclellan, Tennessee, diverted
attention with speech on federal aid
for state roads,
The house actually did talk about
its appropriation bill part OF the time.
The rest of the record was taken up
with many other things including an
interesting announcement by Chair
man Dempsey of New York, OF the
rivers and harbors committee, that
new river harbor bill, including the
Great Lakes waterway project, was to
be expected. That will give congress
three major river and harbor bills to
deal with: the regular $5OOOOOOO
lump sum in the arrny bill, the flood
control measure, still to be whipped
in shape, and the new bill forecast
by Dempsey, size and scope unknown
Committees in both houses were
again at work on the Mexican lmmi-
grafton restriction plan with wide
spread opposition evident. The house
naval committee reported out a bill
to give submarine crews and divers
pay bonus due to the hazardous
nature of their duties and also again
refused to approve of reconditionlng
/ next year more than two of the five
battleships the navy would like TO
overhaul Even the two will cost
more than $14OOO,0OO. Before the
house post office committee, post
office department approval of the plan
to go back to the 1921 basis postal
rates was voiced.
Senate committees heard lot more
about packer hog buying methods,
hearing witnesses both for and
against the Capper bill to extend
federal stockyards regulation; and
about the movie film sales and dis
tribution business; third committee
continued the anti-labor injunction
hearing
But even with all these activities
the house found time to eulogize and
applaud Captain Malcolm Campbell,
the British automobile speed king
who sat in the gallery and on the
senate side Vice President Dawes did
the honors in presenting Campbell
with a cup awarded by admirers.

Playing to the biggest audience that
ever witnessed a show at the Grand
theatre in Douglas and also showing
the largest box office cash total Of
any show ever to play the house, Ger
hold o. Davis company offering
Charles B. Dillingham's musical sue
cess Sunny" proved most pleasing
attraction for the theatre going pub
lie of Douglas night. Bubbling over
with clean and refreshing fun, with
q dancing score: that few of the good
musical shows have equalled and with
number of catchy melodies among
the song hits, there was entertain
the entire show.
The music of Sunny" is by Jerome
Kern and the book and lyrics are the
collaboration Of Otto Harbach and
Oscar Hammerstein H. It is a well
staged and we'll dressed production
and the company as whole is a
capable lot of performers.
Helen Patterson, a blonde of at
tractive personality, chic and full of
verve, carries the title role quite ac-
Ceptably. She has a pleasing voice
although not one that would be rated
as musically brilliant. However, the
songs which fall to her lot are well
suited to her, and she put them over
in deservedly popular manner, time
after time being required to respond
with an encore.
For popular favor, Harry S. Miller,
in the role of Tom Warren and Jerry
Jarrette as "Weenie" Winters proved
the outstanding hits of the show. Both
are, dancers of par excellent ability
and whether they appeared in solo
work, as a dancing team or in the
dancing ensembles, they were marked
for the popular favor and on two or
three occasions they stopped the show
with their work.
Another dancing team that proved a
scream in its special number was
made up of Ernest Wood and Jerry
Jarette. Their hit number was
"Strolling, Or What Have You?" The
dancing numbers by Gray and Grace,
frankie Silver, Crosby Brothers and
Nellie Hanson all met with much
POPULAR approval
The feature numbers among the
songs were "Who?" sung by Miss Pat

Say Goodnight Till It's Morning" by
Miss Jarette and Miller; "Do You Love

American government and people
to the foreign office and the fam
