LOS ANGELES, May 13.-Her
story of a husband who always was
in an ugly mood and who never
apologized won a divorce here today
for Colleen Moore, one OF the
screens best known players.
Superior Judge Thomas Gould
granted her an interlocutory decree
after the actress testified briefly of
many humiliationS she suffered
from John E. Mccormick, prominent
motion picture producer.
The actress, bringing the suit
under her real name, Kathleen
Morrison Mccormick, was on the
verge of tears as she took the stand
in the crowded courtroom and re-
cited details of her married life.
Mccormick, she said, frequently
made disparaging remarks about
her friends.
HE was always in an ugly mood
when my friends called" the actress
said. HE would say they bored
him or that they did not have any
taste. He never apologized."

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Chris-
tian K eagle, the ArmyS all-Ameri-
can half back, will be forced to re-
sign from West Point, due to Sc
cret marriage nearly two years ago,
war department officials said today.
eagle, a senior classman, pre-
viously mad announced his intention
to resign so he could enter bust
ness and coach football.
eagle was married to Miss Mar
ion Hale of New Roads, La, Aug. 25,
1923. at Gretna, La, but kept his
marriage secret, fearing he would be
forced to resign if it became public,
it was learned at the department.
Lieutenant-Com Whipple,
adjutant of the academy, was here
today comforting with high army
officials over eagles recent state
ment that he would be compelled to
resign, due to the small salary paid
a second lieutenant.
The football star was quoted as
saying the combined incomes of his
two positions, as coach of the Mis-
sissippi A. and M. football team and
as bond salesman for a New Orleans
brokerage house, would be more than
that of a major general.
Whipple said eagle admitted he
was married when confronted with
the reports by West Point officials.

Prior to 1927, the speed limit on
Indiana highways was defined as

the legislature raised it to forty and

This action has put a burden

Mcbride said Representative

manufacture of mild liquor is law
full. He qualified this statement,
however, with the later assertion the
league had taken no position on the
matter and that he is not sure
whether the home brewing loophole
is open.
Mcbride also admitted during his
third day on the stand the league
supported some dry congressman

W. English of Illinois. He denied
having tried to halt impeachment,
however.
English, a dry leader, was i'm
