Rex Hardy, son of the accused
jurist, temporarily gave up his at
tempt to impeach the testimony of
William Leving, Los Angeles news
paperman, who was ON the witness
stand when court opened today.
Lieutenant Governor II. L. Carna-
han notified young Hardy that his
efforts to impeach the witness would
not be permitted unless it was
shown that Leving knew personally
of the matter quoted in the inter
view or that he wrote and personally
directed its publication.
After two or three unimportant
questions, Judge Hardy's attorneys
gave up their cross-examination, and
the state called Jackson Berger, an
other Los Angeles newspaperman, to
testify concerning an interview on
the same subject with Judge Hardy.
Berger, who is employed on a Los
Angeles morning newspaper, told of
calling on Judge Hardy to check on
the story about his receiving the
$500 check from Mrs. Mcpherson.
Judge Hardy explained that TIL!
payment was made for giving coun'
sci in real estate affairs or matters
concerning the temple. Before pub
fishing his article, Berger said that
he telephoned Judge Hardy to verify

approved by the Judge.

SOCIAL TANGLE
MAY BE- SETTLED
BY LEGISLATION
HefIin Proposes Bill
To Decide Status OF.
Mrs. Gam.
By PAUL r. MALLON
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, April 9. U.R) -
The controversy over the social sta
tus of Mrs. Edward Everett Gam,
half sister of Vice President Curtis,
was thrust forward as a national IS
sue today when Senator Helm OF
Alabama, Democrat, announced
seriously his intention of proposing
Il law at the coming of congress OF
ficially establishing Mrs. Gam as
the " second lady of the land. -
Heflin s move was assured OF ser
ious and expeditions attention when
Ne called on Chairman Borah of the
Senate Foreign Relations commit
tee and received Borah S promise
that the resolution would not be per
nlitted to languish long in com
mittee.
Borah, like Heflin and Senator
Norris, of Nebraska, who recently
asked the state department to send
the matter to the world court, has
lond been displeascd with the actl-
vities of the so called social lobby
and they are rallying sentiment for
strong fight on the side of the
vice president.
While these formidiblc forces
were massing at the capitol there
developed a possibility that Secre-
fary Of State Stimson might sett''
'hc dispute before the Senators
could swing into action. Mrs. Gann
;0 invited to a dinner at the Chilean
embassy Thursday night. The em-
bassv will follow in its seating ar
rangpmpnts whatever may be the
official rule of the state depart
ment.
The ruling of former Secretary Of
State Kellogg still stands, placing
Mrs. Gam behind the wives OF
heads of foreign missions here. If
Secretary Stimson should change the
Kellogg ruling before Thursday
night, Mrs. Gam might be elevated
TO the dinner chair of a hostess OF
the vice president to which Curtis
contends she is entitled.

FORMER ATLANTA
WARDEN ATTACKS
'PETTICOAT RULE

LOS ANGELES, April 9. U.P) -
The petticoat rule of Mabel Walker
Willcbrandt over federal prisons OF
the country, has produced such ode
moralization of prison conditions
that nothing short of congressional
investigation can remedy the situa-
tion, John w. Shook, former warden
of Atlanta federal penitentiary, said
here today.
Attacking the Willebrandt "spy
SYSTEM as the basis of much of the
evil he contends is rampant in the
prisons, Shook said it was possible
for convicted fclons to live as civil
ians while on spying details and then
receive clcmcncy "for valuable ser
vice rendered the government -
when their work is completed.
"'The espionage policy involving
Justification of government docu-
mcnts in order to place spies in penal
institutions has prostitutcd our
courts and is an insult to Amer
icanism. - Shook said, Nothing
more demoralizing to prison morale
has ever been conceived.
Shook also was emphatic in his
condemnation of the asserted prac-
tice of taking bona fide convicts
from prison under promises of elem
ency in order that they may spy ON
free citizens.
The former warden described the
woman assistant attorney general as
"drunk with power. He declared
he gave up his job for principle
and felt that the time to attack the
Willcbrandt policies had arrived.

Remains Mystery

LOS ANGELES, April 8. W.H -
The young woman's torso found
floating in the Los Angeles river
last Thursday still was unidentified
today and authorities apparently
were without any clue which might
lead to her murderer.
One physician was under surveil-
lance but only because he once lived
near the vicinity where the body
was found and because officials be-
lieved that a person versed in sur
gerry severed the head and limbs

MRS. KEN NEDY
DEFENDANT IN
DAMAGE SUIT
Breach of Promise Is
Charged Against Mrs.
M'PhersOn's Mother.

SEATTLE, April 9. U.P) - Mrs.
Minnie Ma Kennedy, who re-
Gently gave her deposition for use
in the impeachment trial of Judge
Carlos Hardy, was named defendant
today in a $4,000 breach of promise
suit filed by the Rev. II. II. Clark,
elderly Seattle widower.
The mother of Aimee Semple Me
phcrson, Los Angeles evangelist,
"made love to the plaintiff and
promised to install him i'll taber-
naclc in Seattlc,' according to the
complaint.
While the plaintiff was "heart
broken, humiliatcd and dishonored,
Mrs. Kennedy, who was in Portland,
insisted that the Rev. Clark was n
degree lower than the man who was
kissed and told about it."
"Only he was not kissed, " " MAJ
added.
The suit may mean the healing of
the breach which has existed be
tween Mrs. Kennedy and her daugh-
ter for some time. Mrs. Mcpherson
summoned as a witness in the i'm
parchment trial of Judge Hardy at
Sacramento, said she was confident
her mother was innocent of the
charges.
Alleges Love Making
The couple met December II, 1923,
Clark S complaint stated. Mrs. Ken
ncdy urged that they Ego to places
of enjoyment together" he alleged,
and on December 20 they had lunch
con in Seattle hotel. There Mrs.
Kennedy, the complaint added, in
formed him she had rented an apart
mcnt in the hotel where they "could
talk undisturbed.'
In the apartment, she made "vio-
lent and passionate love- and re-
peated marriage proposals.
Clark, in consideration of promises
that the gospel ship would be launch
cd and that they would carry on
cvangelistic work together, promised
to marry her, he said.
Mrs. Kennedy was accused of hav-
ing used an assumed name, Mary T..
Clark, and he alleged he did not
know her identity until he recog-
nized her picture in newspaper.
Confronted with the picture Feb
ruary IS. he alleged, she said she
would not marry him.
Clark came to Seattle from Den
yer and previously had occupied pull
pits in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
He has never had church in Seat

Departure of General Escobar

rebels still hoped to capture Naco.
Troop movements behind the
rebel front at Naco supported be

preparation. Several dctachments
of rebel cavalry and the troop train
of General Topctc were sighted at
Oromina, six miles south of the
border.
Americans arriving here today
from Cananea brought unconfirmed
reports that rebel forces planned
to employ lethal gas in an attack
on Naco. The arrivals said General
Topcte had obtained more than a

from planes on the federal garrison.

YOUR
CHILDREN


The custom is growing fast OF serv-
Ing children their supper upstairs In
the nursery or playroom at or
o'clock, and then putting them to
bed Immediately after.
It is the right thing, unquestion-
ably. The sooner we get over the
habit of setting them down to rich
grown-up food at the end of the day
when their bodies and nerves are
worn out, the better.
And it is right that they should
be put to bed early. Six-thirty or
seven is not too early for small chill
dren.
Keeping Envy Away
Also the idea of eating in a quiet
place with hts own little furniture
and his very own dishes couldn't be
better. Crackers and milk. porridge,
stewed fruit, poached eggs. and GUS
tard, will not be then outclassed by
the savory dishes of the big table
downStairs-when they keep their
own company.
But like all good things there is
one very great objection to the plan.
And l think you will agree with me
that it is serious one.
Fathers are likely to remain strang-
crs to their children.
In our modern civilization with the
pater familias away from home the
entire day, hasn't he become ostra-
cized entirely? At time when bonds
OF love and confidence should be
being forged he never sees his chill
dren.
If he can't see them for a while
after he comes home from the office
when is he to know them? I don't
mean a short romp and q good might
kiss. That Is not really knowing
them.
And how are the children going to
know him? When will there be time
for comfortable little talks, and stor-
les. ana to establish that close con-
tact that is necessary between father
and child as between mother and
child? I'm sure I don't know.
OF course there are mornings, but
intimacies are not fostered in the
early morning hours. Heads ali
around are full of plans for the day
There is only hurry and activity.

Evening is the receptive time. BE
tween the dark and the daylight
