MCDONALD
WELCOMED
BY HOOVER
and Britain
Will Seek to Push
World Peace, Says
Premier on Visit.

WASHINGTON. Oct. q, Up)--
One of the momentous days in the
history of the United States and
Great Britain came to climax to-
night when Prime Minister Ramsay
Macdonald was ushered into the
Blue Room at the White House TO
be received by President Hoover as
a brief formal prelude to series
of conversations intended to
strengthen friendship between the
two peoples
The prime minister and his
daughter, Miss Ishbel, arrived in
Washington at p. m. after a
welcome celebration in New York.
The full significance of the visit
of the British Prime Minister, the
first such in American history, be-
gan to dawn tonight.
From both sides it was emphasized
there is to be no Anglo-American al
lance as alliances are contrary to
the historical policies of this ma
ton. Prime Minister Macdonald
declared on the contrary that the
two countries are attempting to set
an example TO all otner nations 10
gather round the council board OF
peace"
The Premier arrived at the White
House at dusk. The meeting be-
tween President Hoover and Mac
Donald was for a brief 20 minutes
extremely formal and without any
of the opportunities for easy friend
ly discussion which will come when
they spend a weekend together. The
spokesmen Of the two leading world
powers met in the famous blue
room.
The prime minister and his
daughter. after staying at the Brit
ish embassy tonight, will spend Sat
urday morning making formal calls
OH higher officials, and will go to
the Whitehouse in the afternoon.

SAN NBERNARDINO COMES
IN FORCE TO PROMOTE
INTER-CITY GOOD WILL
About Seventy-Five San BernardinO Busi-
ness Men Expected This MOrning-Jaunt
To Be Annual Affair.

Speaking for the people OF Las
Vegas the Age this morning takes
pleasure in extending a warm well
come and a cordial greeting to the
pilgrims from our sister city of San
Bernardino.
Both cities are products Of what
was once called the desert country
In 1887 the writer first saw the little
desert city of San BernardnO.
Then. that city was il the midst OF
the desert For many miles in
every direction the country was un-
improved and apparently barren
Las Vegas 20 years ago was no more
Of a desert in appearance than was
san Bernardino AZ years ago.
Like Las Vegas. San Bernardin0
was first primarily a railroad town.
It's o,her principal resources were
the county seat, business from tribu-
tary mining camps and hope for
increasing agricultural and horticul-
tural development. Like Las Vegas,
all that San Bernardino lacked were
men and money.
Building on latent resources
similar TO those of Las Vegas, San
Bernard,no has advanced from the
status of a desert" town to that OF
a rich. populous and prosperous city.
She stands proudly at the gateway
to Southern California and all who
pass contribute to her prosperity.
Her homes, business UiockS and
public buildings are splendid eX-
amples of the builders enterprise
Her valley is filled with orchards
and fertile fields pouring their
hounties into her business channels.
Her industries have multiplied
grown and prospercd Her people
live III pleasant surroundings, pros
porous and contented.
Today, Las Vegas takes for her eX
ample your city Of San Bernardino
We have studied your progress. We
have met your business people. We
welcome you TO our activities as 4
most helpful force to increase our
prosperity and your own.
AS the gateway city to Southern
California you are establishing in
duStries and business enterprises.
Las Vegas is tributary to you COM
mercially. More and more as time
goes on Will this condition OF mu-
tual business interests increase.
We recognize in the helpful CO.
operation you have already under
taken in the upbuilding OF Las
Vegas. the prophecy of increasingly
important cooperation in the fl
rance, trade and industrial rela-
tions Of the future between our two
cities.
The Age bids you welcome ana
hopes. with all the people of Las
Vegas. that your short stay may
bring you both pleasure and profit

On Witness Stand,
Describes Pantages'
Alleged Crime.

Los ANGELES, Oct. 4 UP)-
The life eli Eunice Pringlc, from
early grammar school days to the
Gultry August afternoon on which
she accuses Alexander Pantages of
attacking her was told to a Su-
perior court jury by the sobbing
young dancer today.
Sitting only q few feet from the
gray haired theatre magnate, Miss
Pringle described brokenly how
he aSSertedly lured her to his Sc
c!uded conference room to dis
cuss bookings on his circuit for
her dancing act, and there made
love like a crazy man."
The girl, who is seventeen, was
an excellent witness for the state.
She spoke in calm, soft voice
during her early testimony. AS
she approached her accusai on,
nervousness crept in. Finally she,
described her frantic efforts to
escape from the room and the
cCnsumation OF the alleged attack.
L tried so hard to get away
from Mr.. Pantages, but he was
too strong for me-" the dark hair
ed dancer testified He held me
tight and kissed and bit me,
mumbling Of love. He forced me to
the floor an dtore at my clothing.
I tainted" Miss Pringle said, in
a choked voice after describing
the attack When I recovered

finally getting away frCm him and
running to the street.
Her pale face was suddenly
flushed as District Attorney Fits
asked her the unprintable details
of the Incident and she began t7,
sob. Two women jurors forced
back tears.
When his accuser first took the
stand Pantages strummed ner-
vCuSly on the arm of the chair
and kept his eyes turned away
from her OF smiled at his son who
sat nearby. But when the little
dancer said he had made frantic
love and bitten and assaulted her.
PantageS leaned forward i'll his
chair to catch each WCrd
Miss Pringle related some inter
views with Pantages and finally
agreed TO visit his Office on the day
CT the asserted attack.
I'VE went into his little confer
ence room and sat down. the girl
said
He said my act was very good
and that he was going to book it.
Then he reached over and picked
up my hand and said I had lovely
hands. I replied that that had
nothing to do with business.
He said he admired me very
much and wanted me to be his
because he hated his
wife and would give me anything
I tcld him I didn't want to be
his sweetheart, and asked him to
be gentleman.
He seemed to go crazy, grabbing
me tightly. I struggled and when
l tried to scream he put his hand
over my mouth and kissed me and
bit me OH the breast and shoulders.
Then he forced me to the floor
and I couldn't get free, no matter
how hard l tried"
Miss Fringle said that Pantages
then conSummated an attack. She
testified she tainted and that when
she recovered PantageS was kneel-
ing beside her, their clothing in
disarray.
The girl said he tried to hold
her but that she finally broke
away and ran screaming to t0c
street.
FantageS' attorneys made fcW
objections to the girls story.
At the conclusion of Miss
Pringle's story the court was re-
cessed until Monday morning.

.LATHER SLUCCED
in JOB STAMPEDE
Scabs Hired by Union
Chief for Cash

One worker was slugged when po-
lice were called out to dispense a
crowd of 200 lathers who yesterday
morning answered call for a job
at the contracting firm of Kaufman
and Levine, 68th st. and 10th Ave-,
Brooklyn. The worker, Meyer Ba-
gelman, was taken home after he
was treated by a doctor.
Only 10 men were actually re-
quired on the job, but so great is
the unemployment among the lath-
ers that they flocked to the place in
answer to the request for workers.
This event comes on the heels of
the revelations made at the last
meeting of the lathers that one of
the high officials of the union, Will
lie Cohen, had received checks
amounting to thousands from men,
bers' bosses-members of the bosses
association. Several of these checks,
made out by Holman, Schwartz and
other bosses, and bearing the en-
dorsement of Cohen, were put in
evidence at the meeting.
Thes two events have completely
aroused the membership and have
put the men in a fighting mood. -

Soviet vessel
Goes to Rescue
Stranded Men

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 12.-
Wrecked on a bleak Siberian shore,
20 men of the crew of the fur trad
ing schooner "Elisif" today awaited
rescue by the Soviet steamer "Sta-
vatoll," reported en- route to the
scene.
The "Elisif" had just escaped from
ice floes which had held her locked
for year in the Bering Sea when
she went aground near Cape Bull
ings.
ChaEles HURLEY, Seattle radio op-
orator, sent word of the plight of
himself and his mates and reassur-
ances to his home.
The "Elisif" sailed out of Elliott
Bay, Seattle, July 10, 1928. A few
weeks later she was locked in the
ice, where she was held until July
81, 1929. During the year the crew
received food from land by airplanes
flying from Alaska. The planes car
ried valuable cargoes of furs back
to the shore.
