Ten years without a drink, ten
years without touching the wheel
of her car, payment of approxim-
ately $4,000 to the family OF the
Japanese gardener killed in the
accident-that is what Mrs. Lois
Pantages drew in the way OF a
sentence from Judge Hardy in Los
Angeles, Friday, following convic-
ton for driving her car while
drunk, and that's a merc1ful sent
ence-a suspended sentence-by
the way, for the jury brought in
a verdict that carried with it a
penitentiary term, and if she
would dodge the pententiary, Mrs.
Pantages must cut out the drinks
and the driving and obey ali laws
for ten years. Incidentally, her
millionaire husband faces a l to
5O-year term on a far more SER
ious charge. Truly a millionaire
and his wife run mad.

spite of the gain in population
there were in the U. S. A. 1856
fewer marriages in 1928 than in
1927. The number of divorces, on
the other hand, increased from
192,037 in '27. to 195,939 in '2S.
Marriages decreased 1.5 per cent,
while divorces increased 2 per

This second convulsion of the
stock market justifies the belief
that the great "mulctitude" lost.
There is an enormous demand for
parachutes by spectators whose
hot-air engines stalled at high al

illustrated by that old waglet:
"Algy met a bear,
The bear was bulgy-
The bulge was Algy."

BINGHAM OPPOSES
 SENATE INQUIRIES
aV Dos Not Give It Grand Jury Rights, He Says
By GEORGE H. MANNING

Washington coErspondsnt. N. 3. Herald)
 Washington. D. C.. June 2S-Ths present system of conducting con- xressional investigations is unfair and contrary to the dictates of the constitution of the United States in the opinion of Senator Hiram Bing ham of Connecticut. "The consti tuition never gave the senate the right to act as . national grand lury."
 Systen, Born of Politics
 It is the contention of Senator Bingham that the system was born of politics and is in contradiction to the provision in the bill of rights which provides that the accused shall enjoy the right to be tried by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed"
 The senator from Connecticut points out also that the present jury system was instituted to protect the accused. His case is first heard by . grand jury sitting in secret which decides whether or not he shall be tried for the offense before a petit jury. By this system, the senator maintains an innocent man need not he brought to trial, and the accusa- tions against him never made public.
 Many Investigations Urged
 On the other hand, he states, senators are continually receiving letters from their constituents anG friends reporting dereliction of duty On the part of this citizen and that com pany, this organization. and that corporation. Instead of taking these matters up with the local police or the local district attorney or the United States district attorney. in- stead of using the regularly organiz- ed grand Juries, these good citizens seem 10 feel that it is the business of the United States senate to track down criminals of all classes. par ticularly those who seem to be able to avoid successful condemnation by the local courts.
 "Because," the senator continued, "wealthy wrong-doers sometimes succeed in evading the punishment they 70 richly deserve. is no reason why a body created partly for the purpose of being an advisory coun- cil to the president of the United States, legislative body and the greatest judicial tribunal in the world should be asked to descend from its high estate and become public prosecutor and national grand

bushels. Shantung. famous fer tts rice, raises A7.oo0.0o bushels Of wheat per year.
 Maachurta . China's Minnesota
 But 1t is Manchuria that has the brightest wheat future. Chinese are moving north into the unbroken plains of Manchuria like American pioneers moved into the Middle West one undred years ago. Twenty mill lion Chinese have gone into Man. churia in twenty years. It is one of the major miErations in the history of the world. Yet half of the arable land is still vacant.
 Soy beans, which are used for soy and Worcestershire sauce. come first in importance. then wheat. With larger farms to work. the new farmers Of Manchuria find they can use American farm machinery: tractors, harrows. blows and trucks
 Many Chinese students in Amer ican universities return to teach school, practice medicine or some profession. One young man has broken from this tradition. After graduation in America he took up . 7.000-acre farm in Manchuria. He is reported doing very well with his big farm run on modern methods Like the pioneers of the American mid- dle west he has been compelled to organize private militia or vigilante band to protect his property from bandits.
 The Twilight Zone Of Statistics
 World wheat statistics generally exclude China and Russia from their estimates. China has never been an important factor either in import or export and Russia has ceased to be the big wheat export ing nation it was before the World war.
 "stabilization of conditions in both countries would change the picture. The estimated Chinese production, 2Oo,oo0,O00 to 6Oo,oO0, 900 bushels, puts it we'll up among the wheat growing nations. The United States in 1928 raised 902 100000 bushels of wheat. Argentina, an important country in the world trade, raised 275.000,O0O bushels.
 The increasing amount of wheat flour being shipped to China in face Of apparent increased acreage, is believed to show growing demand among the Chinese for bread"

Washington. D. C.. June 25.-Will Ae Chinese eat American wheat?
 That question has been raised in aeHaDspers following the proposal N buy American wheat to be ssnt to etArvia6 Chinese.
 Irrespective Of the merits of this eelisf measure. the popular idea that ivory Chinese has a bowl'of rice in aand three or more times day is salse." says ! bulletin from the Washington. D. c. headquarters of Ae National Geographic society.
 Eat More Wheat Than Americans
 Millions of Chinese have never sssn grain of rice. much less eaten ice.
 About 15o,ooo. 900 Chinese. it is tstimated. live chiefly on wheat. That ii, there are more Chinese who can on wheat as the staff of life han there are Americans who eat bread.
 No accurate statistics of Cina's srain production ever have been kathsred. The United States depart- nsnt of commerce estimates that the lnnual wheat production of China Ses somewhere between 100000. .o00 lnd 600,000.O 900 bushels Wheat h trewn in practically all the provinces rom the southern to the northern borders. But in the northern provinces are China's true wheat sslts. Manchuria is in the same longitude as Minnesota but wheat .ipens weeks earlier than in the Red River valley. Mukden, capital of Nanchuria, is already a milling cen- CT. the Minneapolis of China.
 Flour Exported to East
 China already uses considerable tuantities of American wheat. most- y n flour. since she does not yet trcw enough to supply her own lssds. During the first three months n 1929 the United States shipped to China l.0l6.25S barrels of wheat Tour valued at $5,356.00o. This sear starts out like a record year Tor flour exports to the Far East. During 1928 the United States sent t.ssS.1S7 barrels valued at 310,567,- 100.

 And still further, he said, if the constituent of ! senator does not like an individual or . corporation in the vicinity and writes . letter to the senator, and the latter is 70 inclined he may comment on 1t, read it, and insert 1t in the record to have it broadcast the length and breadth of the United States. By virtue of the immunity granted him by the constitution the offended party has no recourse in law. al- though if the same things were said outside the walls of the congress, . suit for islander and defamation of character would in all probability follow.
 Senator Bingham said further:

 Becoming Open Grand Jury
 II believe that when the people of the United States realize that the senate, instead of holding itself in readiness to act when occasion re- duires as to greatest judicial body in the world, is actually becoming that anomalous atrocity. an open grand jury with constitutional im- munity against prosecution for crim- inal libel, our constituents and the newspapers will cease to urge the senate 10 proceed in its course as combined public prosecutor and na- tional grand jury and instead urge that it go back where it belongs under the constitution as counsellor to the president in matters Of for

DEMPSEY TO GUARD

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, January IL
There will be no tickets to the Sharkey-
Stribling fight sold to scalpers, and Jack
Dempsey, doing what he terms his first
bit of road work on the promoting angle
of a prize fight, will brook no argu-
ments to the contrary.
The former heavyweight champion,
filling the position of promoter for the
Sharkey-Stribling go, decreed yesterday
that not more than 10 tickets to the
battle will be sold to one person from
the newly opened ticket Office at the
Miami Beach Kennel Club.
He narrowed the possible list Of pur-
chasers of 10 pasteboards further by
declaring that only individuals known
personally to the representatives OF the
Madison Square Garden Corporation,
which is behind the fight, would be per-
mitted to buy that number.
In an address last night before the
combined Miami, Miami Beach and
Coral Gables Real Estate Boards
Dempsey asserted that the arena, with
its 10000 seats, will be filled as nearly
as possible in the way Richard would
have done it.
