HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 13.-
In simple Hollywood apartment a
Chicago girl, who turned her back
On millions, sat in the arms of her
stalwart cowboy husband today and
said she had found love and with it
happiness.
She is Mrs. George Gillespie, for
merly Katherine Thorne, daughter
of Robert G. Thorne, one time presi-
dent of Montgomery Ward & Co.
She and the man with whom she
eloped have come safely through a
two weeks separation, a test inn
posed by her father SO they might
decide whittier they were really in
love.
MY feeling didn't change and
neither my husbands" she said. Il

choice"
Mrs. Gillespie's mother, father
and brother-in- having failed to
convince her that she had made a
mistake, were reported EN- route to
Chicago.

said hesitantly, well, 1 wouldn't
say that ne had given his approval"
The Gillespies are living in an
apartment that. compared with the
brides former surroundings, is poor.
But to them it is their home and
probably will be for some time. Gill

When 1 got married fully was
aware OF what I was doing. I am
more sure of that than ever, after
the Two weeks separation. The only
thing that George has done, as |
see it, is to love me.
HE could not help that any more
than I could. I am sure that my
fathers money did not influence our
marriage. My husband stands to
gain nothing but me and he seems
satisfied"

IN Staying OF
ROTHSTEIN AID
Murder Threat May Seal
Lips of Business Man in
! Huge Booze Plot.

WASHINGTON, March ia
man. reputed to be notorious rum
runner with offices in New York,
NAV be indicted as the result of the
murder of Thomas CFatty) Walsh,
bodyguard to the late Arnold Roth
stein, New York gambler, it was
learned today.
Walsh was killed recently in a
Coral Gables, Fla, hotel, Tuesday
1t was revealed his death occurred
not as the result of a card game
quarrel. but because of All inter-
national liquor conspiracy involving
n $1,000, 900 cargo of pre- rohlbitlon
American rye whisky.
Federal agents have been working
on the case since Walshs bullet
ridden body was discovered sprawl
ed in the Florida hotel room. Two
theories were advanced for his
murder First, the card game
quarrel, and second, because of his
connection with Rothstein.
Two Theories Discarded
Both were discarded when it be-
came known Walsh was involved IN
the liquor conspiracy through which
a prominent New York iron and
steel man lost $172000.
Indictment of the alleged rum
runner will depend upon how far
the New York business man is Will
ing to go to recover his money, fed
eral authorities said.
The business man, regarded by
federal officials as the victim of a
trio of "sharpers" has been threat
ened with death unless he drops
efforts to recover the $172,000
A notorious New York gangster is
sid to have called upon him in his
mid town Offices and persuaded him,
with the assistance of a pistol, to
forget about it"
According to, information gath
cred by government investigators.
Walsh and the alleged rum runner
called upon the business man and
suggested purchase of a quantity of
American rye whisky held by Cuban
authorities for non-payment of
taxes.

The two explailicl the whisky
could be purchased for roxiInate-
ly 100000 and resoId 1lrrican
tourists in Havana for ia Y prices
because of the scarcity of nerican
whistles.
The business man put up $4,000.
The whisky was purchased and
loaded on Cuban schooner, with,
out the business mans knowledge.
A Cuban lawyer, a member of the,
Cuban congress, was called in and
made a technical libel against the
schooner and. liquor for $780,
Walsh and the alleged rum run
ner, acting for the business man,
did not protest the libel, SO the
liquor was seized and resold to
Walsh, the alleged rum runner and
the Cuban lawyer, leaving the New
York business man out Of the deal
and out his $172,000.
Quarrel in Hotel
Walsh and the alleged rum run
ner met in the Coral Gables hotel
to discuss means of leaving the Gu
ban lawyer also holding the bag"
A quarrel cr1slied, investigators said,
which resulted in Walsh's death.
The other conspirator flew back to
Havana and last Saturday the liquor
cargo left Cuba on board the
schooner. Its last location was re-
ported Off Gun Key, near the Flor
Gda mainland.

Washington arc two Lank-
fords in congress now, William G.
Lankford Of Georgia and Menalcus
Lankford of Virginia.
One Of them is locally unpopular
because OF his Blue Sunday bill, which
would close up everything in WASH
ington OH Sunday. You might sup
pose it would be a man with name
like Menalclls who would introduce
bill like that, but William is the
guilty one. Menalcus has just come
to congress for the first time.
You bet I will" replied Menalcus
when asked II he would oppose Will
liam's bill If and when 1t ever reached
the floor of the House. I'm in favor
of putting more JOY into peoples lives
than taking more out. The more we
let people alone the better off we'll
be-
Menalcus Landlord is a Republi-
can lawyer from Norfolk, Va. a dis
trict which had been Democratic for
20 years, up to last November. He
was always Democrat himself until
he enlisted during the war in naval
aviation. Then he met many fellows
from other sections and got the idea
that the south would be better off
II It had two functioning political
parties instead of one. He kept talk
ing up that idea when he got back
and started to run for congress In
presidential years. In 1920 he doubled
the previous Republican vote: in 1924
he quadrupled 1t. In 1928 he won by
5000 majority.
Your correspondent asked as po-
litely as possible where on earth he
acquired such All unusual first name
and Landlord replied. equally politely,
that 1t was his grandfather's and that
before that 1t belonged to a Latin
poet who is mentioned in Ovid. The
congressman has always felt that he
could have done much better had he
selected his name himself. But he
has had lot Of fun with it and 1t
never handicapped him.

affliction known as phlebitis, a vein

every time he uses 1t and he has to
wear heavy rubber bandage. The
trouble has severely hindered him al
most ever since he came to congress,

NEW TRAFFIC RULE
TOREDUCE PARKING
HarIand's Proposed Ban First
Official Move in Downtown
Business District.
BELIEVED F0RERUNNER
OF Permanent RULING
Rhode Island Avenue Principal
Thoroughfare Affected by
Regulation offered.

Traffic Director Harland's regulation
to prohibit parking on the south side
of F street between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets, together with a
dozen other amendments to the traffic
code, were formally submitted today to
Commissioner Sidney F. Taliaferro.
The proposed parking ban on F
street is the first official move ever
made to abolish parking in any section
of the downtown business district and
1t Is believed in traffic circles to be the
forerunner OF a move toward the grad
ual elimination of parking in this area.
The majority of the other regulations
recommended by Mr.. Harland are de-
signed to prohibit parking on the flow
side Of important traffic arteries during
the morning and afternoon rush hours
with a view to expediting the movement
of traffic. The principal street affected
Is Rhode Island avenue from Sixteenth
street northwest to Twelfth street north
east, where parking would be prohibited
on the north side from 8 to 9:15 am.
and on the south side from to pm.
Commissioner Taliaferro, who is act
ing president of the Board of Commits
sionerS in the absence of Commissioner
Proctor L. Dougherty, said the proposed
regulations would be considered at the
next meeting Of the board. There was
no indication as to what action the
Commissioners might take on the F
street parking ban as well as the other
changes recommended by the traffic di-
rector.

1000 WASHINGTON RESIDENTS
BELIEVED HAY FEVER VICTIMS
Public Health Service Recommends Early
Vaccine Treatment for Disease Caused
by Wind-Blown Pollen.

The season when members of the
order of hay feveritis observe the
amenities of their distinction is upon us.
Their secret grip" is the reach for a
pocket handkerchief; their password,
SneeZe.
Based on studies conducted by the
Public Health Service, 1t Is estimated
that approximately 1000 residents OF
Washington suffer from the disease.
The number of cases figures So to 1000
population.
In the realm of medicine the disease
Is "a catarrhal affection of the mucous
membrane of the upper respiratory
tract"
ut is a condition of representative
ness to pollen proteinS and is produced
primarily by the breathing IN OF wind
borne pollen"
The development of hay fever about
haying time led to the belief that hay
was the cause of the condition and it
was not until 1870 that the relation of
pollen to hay fever was established. In
veStigators are now largely agreed that
while there are many plants whose pol
len may cause hay fever when applied
to the noStrils, only those pollen which
float in the air and can reach the nos
trilS in the course of all normal breath
ing are responsible for the condition.
Recommends Physician.
In their study of the disease, health
authorities have evolved the theory of
sensitization and have concentrated on
discovering the pollen proteins to which
individuals are sensitive. The funda-
mental maxim of the Public Health
Service in its advice on treating the
disease is See a competent physician"
A vaccine designed to raise the body,S
resistance to pollen stimuli is prescribed
as injections, and the Public Health
Service points out that lit is important
that those who suffer from hay fever
understand that they should present
themselves to their physicians for med
ical prophylactic treatment about three
months before the symptoms usually
begin"
This early precaution is necessary"
says the health service. las the series
of injections extends over period of
about two months and should be COM
pleted If possible not less than two
weeks before the time when the symp-
toms usually appear"

ditions, especially to stop running eyes,
