"The consciousness Of citizenship

Scouting on such a basis that boys

crate and maintain conditions where

poorest excuse hat men offer for
failing TO do their duty ia that they
haven't time. Men always find time
to do the things in which they are
interested. Witness the crowded
condition Of our golf links.
Modern conditions are such that

PRINCE HINTS
WIFE'S ENTRY
Is NOT LEGAL
Turkish Nobleman Is
Disillusioned, Dis
guested With Amer
lean Spouse

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 11.-OP-
An interview, given here by Prince
Suad Chakir, grandson of the late
sultan Of Turkey, threatened today
70 cause an inquiry into the prced-
ure by which his estranged wife,
the former Sidi Writ SpreckIes, re-
gained her United States citizenship
last week.
Prince Chakir who declared he
had been "disillusioned, hurt and
disguised" said he had come to "a
parting of the ways with his
American born consort, and that he
would return to Turkey and obtain
a divorce. Dispatches from Turkey
several months ago said divorce pro-
ceedings had been Instituted by the
prince and it had been understood
here a decree had been issued.
! The Turkish nobleman, who said
he was here on business and that he
would not see his wife, limited that
her repatriation had not been legal
because she had entered this county
on a visitors permit. he said he be-
lievcd il was necessary for an alien
visitor to enter under the immigra-
tion quota to obtain citizenship.
Mrs. S~preckels automatically relin-
quished her American citizenship
when she married the prince in
Paris.
"For two years and a half" said
the prince, my family has been
trampled into the dust by the suit
brought against Madame Chakir by
Princess Chiyekiar (former wife OF
King Faud Of Egypt and later the
wife Of Selim Bey Of Turkey charg-
ing indiscretions with her husband.
Through il all 1 bore my hurilia-
tion before the world as best !
could. ] chung 10 the Turkish ideal
of marriage as a thing Of dignity
ard worth. But ! can bear no more.
Divorce is the only solution
Mrs. Spreckeis, who stepped into
the limelight several years z by
announcing her engagement 10 a
prominent Brazilian. later married
her childhood sweetheart. This mar
rage ended in a divorce and she
became the wife of John u. Spreck-
els. Jr., of San Francisco, who was
killed in an automobile accident.
She declared recently she would re-
fuse 20 return 10 Turkey and live
with Prince Chakir.

snow stretched today in a blanket
across Europe from Scandinavia to

Some towns faced food and fuel

In Jugo-Slavia the Moslem town
of Gradsko, near Sarajevo, was dug

Passengers on the Simplon ex-

in an avalanche near Tchartaldia,
arrived at Constantinople from Ro-
dosto, little the worse for their har-

DASTARDLY LIBEL

CHICAGO. Feb. 11.-tPl-Col.

scnal attorney, last night pronounc-
ed as nothing short of a cowardly
and dastardly libel" statements made
public in New York opposing Col.
Stewards reelection to the Standard

was In answer to two attacks upon

one unsigned. the other by Win

n brother-in-law of John ID. Rookie

ing Stewards defeat at the stock
holders meeting March 7.
Saws Paper Untrue
The Aldrich statement was de-
scribed by Hopkins as "a cunninvly
drawn document TO deceive the
stockholders and the public" and
the lawyer further described 1t as
untrue in many places
The attorney went into the Con-
solidated Trading ompany transac-
tion. which played a prominent part
in the attack upon Col. Stewart. and
reiterated denials that the oil com
pany head made any c~oncealment OF
his part therein or that any action
by him was taken except with the
interests Of the Standard company
in mind.
Hopkins was asked about the
Aldrich statement that Col. Stewart
for six a did not tell about the
bonds received in the Consolidated
deal.
Says Told Of Bends
"That IL not true. either" Hon.
kins said. "Col. Stewart told =. l..
Stephens. general counsel for the

investigation was on and because OF
the publicity. and he didn't wish 70

BROWNSVILLE
TERMINAL FOR
new AIR Line
Texas Air Transport
To Establish Reg
ular Schedule From
Fort Worth

Regular passenger and express
service between Fort Worth and
Brownsville will be established in a
few weeks by the Texas Air Trans
port Co.. of Fort Worth, was the
assertion of Jerry Marshall, general
manager Of the TAT flying service
and flying school, subsidiaries Of
the company, who was in Browns
vile Sunday.
Stating that Brownsville has the
most efficient and conveniently ar
ranged airport in the South, Mar
shall added that he was in the city
10 make a survey with the objective
of establishing the southern term
inal Of the company's lines here.
Orders have been placed BY the
company for IS Trayelair 6-place
machines, he stated, the first deliy-
cry being made Friday of last week.
These machines will be utilized on
the company's lines extending in ali
directions from Fort Worth.
II Fan state without reservation
that the Brownsville airport is the
best / have seen in the South" Mar
shall said. The city Of Brownsville
Is 70 be commended upon the man
ner in which il IL developing an in
ternational port. / predict that
within a year or two this will be-
come one of the most important
ports in the United States, the gate
way to all of Latin America"
Marshall has been IN charge Of the
TAT flying school at Fort Worth
several months. and will remain "
the head Of that subsidiary Of the
Texas Air Transport Co. He made
the trip to Brownsville Saturday aft
ernoon in 4 IL hours Of continuous
flying. plotting a Curtiss Robin
monoplane. This Is a t~hree-place
plane, Marshall making several ex-
hibition flights Sunday with pas
sengers.
"The Brownsville airport has been
a revelation to me-" Marshall said.
II came TO the border expecting TO
find a typical small town airport, but
found n port which I am convinced
surpasses any in the South, both in
area and general efficiency Of the
arrangement. Brownsville is build
ing for the future: the city is max
ing a bid for the big time business,
and has the geographical location
and airport that will bring it. ] IN
derstand the city will have approx
mately 100000 invested when pres
emit plans are completed, and
Brownsville will have a port that
will be worth millions.
Another point is that under mu-
nicipal ownership it will be possible
to make this the southern terminal
for all air lines. and due to the fact
Brownsville offers exceptional IA
~cilities they will not be slow to take
advantage of them.
Another point | wish 70 COM
mend is the city's selection OF an
airport manager. Les Mauldin IS ar
experienced pilot, an able executive
and knows what an airport should
have to make IL efficient and at
tractive. ! consider the city OF
Brownsville very fortunate in having
secured his services.
