Ho! Hum! Another suit in

Conway Tearle, the theatrical
and motion picture star!
Only this time it is the pretty
Adele Rowland, former Washing

fore the footlights and later be-
came Mrs. Tearle No. 2, who is
doing the suing.
The suit is directed against
Mrs. Tearle No. !, according to
an International News Service
dispatch, and was filed in Los
Angeles today.
Mrs. Adele Rowland Tearle is
suing Mrs. Tearle No. / for So, $50
damages, alleging she was given
undue publicity, harraSSed in her
profession as an entertainer by
attacks by Mrs Tearle No. / in
her attempts to collect alimony.
Mrs. Tearle No. has been do
ing the suing before this. Only
last March she filed a suit
against the actor in San Fran
cisco, d G landing $9,932.5O in
back alimony, o sum only a lit
tie more than Mrs. Tearle No. 2
is now demanding in payment
for the alleged attacks.
In 1928, Mrs. Josephine Park
Tearle CNo. u, who was di-
vorced from the actor in 1912,
won a judgment of $2,255 back
alimony, but she failed to col
lect.
It was following this that the
attacks came, according to Mrs.
Adele Tearle. AS AdeAe Row

DALTON, Ohio, Oct. 8 dN.S).
Three men were entombed in a
slope mine of the Dalton Coal
Company, two miles south of
here today, when fire destroyed
a building at the mouth Of the
mine and cluttered the gap with
debris.
The imprisoned men are Rus
sci Shanklin, Robert Douglas,
and Harvey Sword, all miners.
Latest reports from rescue
crews that are working desper-
ately to break through the smol-
dering wreckage covering the
mouth Of the mine indicate that
the imprisoned men are still
alive. It was not believed, how
ever, that they would be able to
hold out much longer because of
the clouds of smoke which the
fire swept into the mine. ...
The disastrous flames that
wrecked the building. at the
mouth of the Slope Mine, broke
out early this morning. The
origin of the fire could not be
determined Immediately. All ef-
forts were being directed to the

IS SCONFESSE

MEDIA, Pa, Oct. 8 UN.S0.
The "ice pick" murder Of Mrs.
Vida Robare, attractive 33-year-
old matron of the Glenn Mills
Reform School for boys, was
solved today with the obtaining
Of a confession from Alexander
McClay Williamson, 18-year-old
negro inmate Of the institution.
Williamson. Delaware county
officials said. confessed he stab
bed his pretty mentor to death
with an ice pick despite her
pleadingS when she caught him
in the act of stealing a box of
shoe polish from her cottage.
Bitter hatred Of the woman'S
husband also was given by the
boy as a reason for his act. Off
cials, however, are Skeptical of
his explanations in view of the
fact the woman's body was
found partially disrobed.
The boy declared he plunged
the ice pick into Mrs. Robare's
body until she ceased to move.
She offered him money, he said,
If he would stop but he refused
to listen to her entreaties.
