PARIS, June Is U.N.S).-The
startling prophesy, that men will

Much louder and funnier raj

Some Of the exhibitors go in for
full trousers to the point where
they look like the old hoop-skirts.
others show a preference for very
tight satin brooches in bright
colors.
Lacy shirts, sheer lingerie. and
delicate, finished accessories such
as gloves, hats, fur neck pieces
and be-ribonned canes are threat.

public in large numbers, the
women to point and giggle, the
men to hide their heads in
shame.

NJ ARTHUR
IS DIVORCED

Capital society was surprised to-
day over news from Reno that
Mrs, Louise Cromwell Brooks Mac
Arthur has divorced her distin.
guished husband, Major Gen. Doug
las Macarthur, U. s. Army COM
mander in the Philippines.
Mrs. Macarthur is a daughter OF
Mrs. f. T. Stotesbury, of Philadel'
phia. and prior to her marriage to
the general, sometime known as
1.-The handsomest bachelor in the
Army" was a conspicuous figure in
the social life of Washington. They
were married at Palm Beach in
1922. Mrs. Macarthur had divorced
her first husband, Walter d.
Brooks. Of Baltimore, in Paris, three
years earlier.
The Reno announcement carried
only the conventional reason for the
divorce as failure to provide. -
This caused a smile in Washington,
for Mrs. Macarthur Is immensely
wealthy.

principals in the staying of Lee

that he was Lee Din. who is known
to have been with James Lee, the
trigger man." when King was
taken for a ride"
Displaying the usual reticence OF
his race the stole Oriental proved
a hard prisoner 10 question. De
tectives expected, however to make
him come clean"
Police of New York, San Fran

Chinatowns have been searching
for Lee and Din ever since shortly
after the two professional gunner
popped off the inf0rmer. a
A coroner's jury yesterday found
King was slain by Lee and Din be-
cause he knew too much.
Police said King was slain be-
cause he had tipped off Federal

of dope" peddlers in Washington,
Richmond, and Norfolk.

De PRIEST STIR
ONE SIDED

The presence of Rep. Oscar De-
Priests wife at a recent reception
by Mrs. Hoover, at the White
House, has caused little comment
among the prominent colored peo-
pie of the Capital compared with
the stir resultant from an attempt
to criticise the President, through
a resolution in the Senate by
Senator Cole Blease. yesterday.
Most of the colored people re-
sarded the social incident closed
when the Congressional Wonen's
Club refused to consider the matter
when it was introduced prior TO
the arrival of the DePriests.
1t was recalled that Frederick
Douglass served as marshal of the
District and introduced the guests
to the President at receptions,
which he attended with his wife.
from the time of Lincoln down to
Harrison's administration.
Mrs. b. X. Bruce, wife Of the
colored Senator from Mississippi,
was frequently a guest at recep-
tions in the official circle, without
comment.
DR.. William H. Jernagin, head
Of the Equal Rights League and
the National Race Congress, com.
menting upon the incident. said:
''Mr. Hoover is a Christian gentle
man and can be expected to do
what is right. AS a Congressman,

PLANE VICTIMS
BODIES LOST
IN CHANNEL

FOLKESTONE, Engla n d,
June 1s (IN.S.) "A grim
search continued today for the
bodies of three of the seven
persons killed when a giant
twin motored Imperial Air.
ways plane plunged into the
English Channel yesterday,
while en- route from Croydon
Airdrome to Paris and Swift
zerland.-
The dead included one American,
Adolph Meister, of Garfield, n. J.
Meister's body was among those re,
covered and this morning Jay in q
temporary morgue at Dungeness.
Four Hurt
All the dead were passengers
Four other passengers in the plane
survived the tragedy but were in a
hospital today suffering from minor
injuries. The pilot and mechanic
of the plane also were rescued.
The accident is causing much
comment against the use of twin.
motored planes in the cross-channel
service. Aviation experts today
were discussing the advisa bllity of
using the safer tri-motored planes
for the cross-channel service in the
future.
Four of the dead were women.
The three missing bodies are also
those of women. Rescue workers
dragging the channel at the scene
of the tragedy fear that they may
never be recovered as they may
have been swept out into the chan
mel,
In the temporary morgue at
Dungeness were also the bodies OF
Leon Thomas Malcolm, of Hamilton,
Ont, Alfred +. Smith, of London,
and Melbourne, Australia, and one
woman.
Women Dead
The women among the dead were
Miss Jean Roberts, %, of London
Nine. Louise Bossinger, of Burg
dorf, Switzerland; Miss A. Gerzon
of London or Amsterdam, travelling
under the name Of Mrs. Karacki,
and Mrs. Ickerson.
Among those rescued was Homer
latham, an American, who is a
native OF Sacramento, Calf. the
others were Miss Marjorie Smith
whose father was killed; Mr.. and
Mrs. Allan Fleming, Of Australia;
Capt. r. J. Braille, the pilot, and
Bennett n. Robert, the mechanic.
latham underwent a slight opera
ton for an injured arm last night
but was said to be progressing
satisfactorily today, as were the
other passengers. The pilot suf-
fered Commissions of the head and
was taken to a private home in
Dungeness.
The plane, the City Of Ottawa
was beached at Dungenness after
extremely difficult salvage opera
