NICKY ARNSTEIN
WEEDS HEIRESS
Married in October, Gotham
Paper Reports.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The New
York Daily News said today that
Nicky Arnstein, who combines all
the tender arts of love with the
more practical art of winning huge
stakes in transatlantic liner poker
games, has been married to a
$2,000,OC0 heiress since last fall.
Arnstein, one-time husband of
Fanny Brice, the Broadway stage
favorite, married Mrs. Isabelle Nc
Cullough, formerly the wife of
Chicago promoter, in Quebec on
Oct. 10, according to the Daily News.
At that time, the News said, he paid
more than 1000 to suppress reports
of the marriage.
Arnstein's figure has moved in and
out of the limelight and shadows Of
broadway nightlife for considerable
time. He has been barred by the
White Star line for their trans-At-
lantic liners as result of his win
ming $4,000 from fellow-pasSeng-
err in an all-night poker session. He
was said to have been close to the
late Arnold Rothstein, slain gam
bier.

SMASH
OPENED BY JUDGES
Whispering Rail- Abolished
Under New Plan of
Procedure.

First steps to stamp out profess
Sional bondsmen and shyster attor-
neys in municipal criminal courts
we're taken today, as Judges Dan
White and Thomas E. Garvin ex-
changed their civil benches for
criminal jurisdiction at police head
quarters for sixty days.
Judges Paul Wetter and Clifton
R. Cameron, who occupied the
criminal court seats, moved to civil
courts in Marion county courthouse.
The trade was the result of con-
ference between Governor Harry G..
Leslie and the judicial quartet last
week. Abolition of the professional
bondsman and shyster lawyer was
his motive In arranging the confer
ence, the Governor told the judges,
urging regular exchange of benches.
1--WE are not here to work hard
ships on any one, but to enforce the
law" Judges Garvin and White
agreed.
They posted notices to bondsmen
that after Saturday, persons signing
bonds for release of prisoners from
city prison must describe all real
estate properties, and list mortgages
and other membranes on them.
THE law allows a bondsman to
sign a bond equal to one-half Of
the value of his property. Signing of
$4,000 bonds on $500 lots is ancient
history in these courts" both judges
declared.
Personal checks will be refused in
the future, although cash bonds can
not be denied, they said.
Ultimately, they plan to break up
soliciting in jail corridors by bonds
men, who in turn work with attor-
neys in turning over cases for de-
Tense.
Judges Garvin and White said to-
day they hoped to have bailif in
the near future, on duty from 6
p. m. until s a. m. to guard against
such practice.
Judge Garvin's first reform was
reinstatement of the open witness
chair, and abandonment of the
whispering rail" popular in Judge
Wetter's regime. Testimony will be
heard throughout the courtroom, he
said.

Both Houses Are Back in
Session for Six Months
or More.
TARIFF BILL TO FORE
= Prohibition Argument TO Be
Bitter, Advance Talk
Indicates.
BY PAUL X. MALLON
United Press Staf Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.-Already
under the spell of the looming No
vember congressional elections, con-
gress convened today for a straight
away session Of six months or more.
1t Will deal with two important po-
Iitical issues-tarif and prohibit
ton.
The long delayed tariff measure,
introduced nearly year ago. is the
official pending business Of the SEN
ate, but prohibition is the unofficial
business of both houses.
The situation is especially inter-
esting because the entire house and
one-third of the senate must go
from this session into the fall cam
paigns, to be judged, largely, on the
basis Of records made at this time.
Probabilities are there will be a
thorough airing of views, particu-
Iarly among the drys who are di-
vided regarding the charges made
by the leading Republican dry cam
paigner, Senator Borah OF Idaho,
against the existing enforcement
system.
Enforcement Issue
The house is expected to take the
issue by the horns Immediately and
adopt, after some debate, the Jones
resolution calling for q congreSsion-
al committee to inquire into pro-
posed unification of enforcement
agencies under the justice depart
ment. Later, probably about Feb. J.,
there will be another fight over pro-
hibition appropriations. Meantime
the preliminary report Of President
Hoover'S law enforcement commits
sion is to be made public.
Senate leaders are hoping to cur
tail prohibition debate as much as
possible by appealing for early &C
ton on the tariff.
Prospects for the tariff bill never
looked brighter. Estimates Of the
various groups as to when it will
pass the senate vary from three TO
six weeks. but no one believes the
bill will be held up longer than six
weeks.
It will then go to conference with
the house. While agreement be-
tween the two houses will be diff
cult because OF wide differences in
the bills favored by each, methods
of agreement already are being dis
cusSed. More congressional authori-
ties now feel an agreement is posi-
BILE than ever before.
Expect Agreement
The senate will go to work I'M
mediatelv on the tariff with
gentlemen's agreement between the
groups that no other business will
be permitted to intervene.
The house will work on the war
department appropriation bill which
was reported from committee today.
of the floor, senate committees
are to resume inquiries this week
into lobby activities, radio, and
cotton speculation. Disputes also
have arisen among Republicans over
committee assignments. But an
agreement Is expected by the COM
mittee on committees tomorrow. The
agreement is expected to permit
Senator La Toilette Qnd. Rep,
Wis., a place on the finance COM
mittee.

MARIE Jose
PAID HOMAGE
OF ALL ITALY
Royal Couple, to Be Welded
Wednesday, Joins in
Morning Hunt.
ROME ROARS WELCOME
Brilliant Military Pageant
Is Staged in Honor
of Princess.
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN.
United Press STAFF CorrespOndent


ROME, Jan. 6-The capital in
augurated today the elaborate pre-
mutual celebrations in honor of
Princess Marie Jose of Belgi um, who
will become the bride of Crown
Prince Humbert Wednesday.
An early morning hunt in the
deep forest, where deer and wild
boars roam, near the royal hunt
ing lodge of Casteporziano, opened
the day for the princess and her fl
ance.
The royal couple, accompanied by
many other members Of royalty and
court personages, went by automo-
bile to the hunting lodge, ten miles
from Rome, and for more than two
hours participated in the chase.
Many deer and boars were killed
and will be distributed to various
charitable institutions in the cap
ital.
Royalty to Be Feted
The days schedule will be CHI
NAKED by the reception at the pal
ace, where the king and queen Of
Italy will honor the foreign royalty
assembled here for the wedding.
The Italian government paid
homage to the aff1anced couple
when Premier Mussolini and all
members of the cabinet, accompa-
MED by the chiefs of the Fascist
party, went to the Quirinal palace.
Meanwhile, the dress rehearsal of
the folklore procession, in which
about 5000 persons and 400 horses
will participate, was held. The pro-
cession, telling the history and ro-
nance of Italy, will parade through
the streets of Rome later this week
in honor of the crown prince and
his bride.
Pageant Is Brilliant
Today, after nights sleep in the
great Quirinal, the palace where, in
the natural course of events, she
will some day be mistress, Marie
Jose discovered that not only Rome,
but all Italy, had taken her to its
heart.
Princess Marie JoSe's welcome
here, made memorable by a re-
splendent state ceremonial, but
made human by the uproarious well
come of an enthusiastic people, left
no doubts as to the popularity of
the royal couple.
1t was in her honor that Rome
produced one of the most gorgeous
military pageantS of modern times,
a pageant that drew the whole pop
ulation to the streets or rooftops
until every square and every house
appeared black with people.
Prince Greets Bride to-Be
The royal party from Belgium ar
rived on schedule time at a red
carpeted, flower covered station,
lined with guards regiment in
shining cuiraSses. Crown Prince
Humbert, who had met the train at
the little station of Tarquinia, sixty
two miles from Rome, hastily had
told his bride-to-be the laSt-minute
preparations for her reception and
the wedding.
The procession passed through
streets in which messed Soldiery kept
back the press Of 100000 Romans
anxious to see Marie Jose, all of
them cheering like mad for the
smiling princess.
Ten thousand troops were lined
along the mile and quarter road
from the station to the Quirinal.
Keeping to her plan as the ira
ditional white bride" Marie Jose
easily was distinguished from the
royal group by her white coat, her
white fox collar and an enormous
bououet of white orchids,
