Mrs. Everard is the former Miss
Ruth Wynne, of this city, daughter
of Robert J. Wynne. who was Post
master General in the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. She was a reigning
belle of Washington society 20 years
ago.
Divorce Disputed
The sensational twist given the
marital affairs of the American So
.ciety woman Is due to the failure of
the British court to recognize a
divorce obtained by her in 1922 from
Alphonse Austin Smith, British mil
lionaire clubman. as valid.
The divorce was obtained in the
United States and raises the in
teresting problem of whether Mrs.
EVerard. when she pays a visit to
her European friends, may be prose
cuted on q bigamy charge. The
legal logic which led the British
court to ignore and inValidate an
American divorce proceedings, has
not been disclosed.
The issue came before the British
ilIrists in the suit for divorce which
the second wife of Smith instituted,
and which was granted today in
London on the ground that at the
time of the wedding ceremony in
1925. Smith was still legally the
husband OF the former Ruth Wynne.
Married Detroit Man
The Washington woman obtained
her divorce six years ago in a
Western State. Last August she
was married to Robert Fl. Everard,
of Detroit.
rTa, r,a,,ried life with Smith was
a stormy one. The latter Is one OF
the most picturesque figures In Lon
don society. lie is grandson Of
Sir Frank Smith, Canadian million

quilted of the charge of Staying

Our mechanics changed the

Another American Red Cross
canard--a Islander similar to the
propaganda set in circulation

rumors afloat that she receives a

In the trial Smith testified that
Deri1am was fatally shot in a strug-
gle which followed the formers
avowed intention to commit suicide
because of liaison between his wife
and Derham.
One of the results OF this legal
contest was the decision of the Sec

to follow the precedent set by the
first wife and seek divorce, which
has just been granted on the ground
of bigamy.

Thief HUN I
NUS EN[),
N|AN|l

Police today are seeking the
trail of what appears to be a
gang Of thieves, blackmailers,
and kidnapers trying to ter
rorize Mrs Betty Hanna
Davidson. granddaughter OF
the late Senator Mark Hanna.
Jewelry worth SIS, 900 was stolen
from AIRS. Davidson.s home on the
Rockville Road last July. Since
that time mysterious messages have
come to her containing dire treats
ana warnings not 70 try 70 recover
the gems.
Daughter Threatened
The last word came yesterday. A
telephone call to her gown shop,
1873 Connecticut Ave, told her
fatty her 3-year-old daughter, Daisy,
would be kidnapped unless she de-
sisted from her efforts to get her
iewelry back.
Mrs. Davidson, in a state OF near
collapse, hurried to her home and
found her baby safe in the care of
its nurse. She Immediately in.
formed the police of the episode.
The telephone message came In
the wake of an anonymous letter
several days ago threatening a
scandal unless she stopped her
campaign to track down the where
abouts of her jewels. Some word
was said about the insurance com.
pany becoming suspicious" of her
tactics.
Reused BY Phone Call
Police were not informed of this
first message until yesterday. Mrs.
Davidson. making light OF her
troubles. said she was not aroused
over the episode until the telephone
message threatening a kidnapping
came.
As result, she is taking extraor-
binary precautions to see that her
little daughter is properly guarded.
Since she began her business
career as a modiste some months
ago Mrs. Davidson has not been
able to give as much time and
attention to her home as previously,
but she has determined there will
be no kidnapping around her estate
by any gang seeking to modest her.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Caught

satiOnal overnight market coup BY
the exultant bulls.
1t was one Of the most success
and brilliant bullish victories ever
recorded in the big financial dis

Bears Laid Own Trap
The Bears had made their own
trap by selling short in the expecta-
ton of an enormous increase in
brokers loans TO be shown at the
close Of yesterdays market by the
reserve board. Instead of 500, OOO, 900
increase the board showed an ex'
pansion of only $1.000,00O
This meant only one thing; that
the buyers Of stock were not Dor
rowing from the banks, or from any
one else. They were using their
own Money to pick IN their raw
orite shares and displaying the ut
most confidence in the present sca'e
of stock prices, though it Is up
100 to 500 per cent over a year
or two ago.
Then, when the big traders ana
the little traders rushed in to ouy
more stocks at or near yesterday
closing prices, there were no stocks
offered. Now. said the bulls, III

This solution is based on the fact that America is
