ADE To Hoover
A|NFATHER

Private William H. Wells, who
carries President Hoover's mail,
became father Friday morning.
The child was born to Mrs.
Wells before q doctor could ar
rive. The mother was later sent
to Walter Reed Hospital with
Robert Ashby" Wells.
Now Mr.. and Mrs. Wells wanted
a girl, as there was already one
boy in the family.
Announcements bearing Rob
erts'" name we're sent out.
One of the nurses at Walter
Reed, seeking to complete her
registrations. asked the mother
yesterday what her child's name
was.
Explanations flew fast when the
nurse, hearing the cognomen Sc
lected, informed Mrs. Wells that
the boy" was one Of the weaker
sex.
It seems that the doctor who
was called in at the home. thought
the parents were aware that their
child was a girl, and thought moth
ing more of it.
So, where the Wells formerly
liked Robert AShby," they now
idolize Ethel Patricia.
President Hoover sent flowers
and a message Of congratulation.

.DOCTORINS|STS
ON PRESSING
CHARGES
Daughters Declaration She
Acted on Own Free Will
Seen As Binding Court

RICHMOND, Va, July IT,
Harry L. Dickinson, 20, win be
arraigned in the Henrico County
Circuit Court here tomorrow at
10 q. m. on q charge Of abduct-
ing Mary Frances McClenny, 40,
pretty Richmond society girl.
Dickinson was arrested early
Sunday morning on a warrant
sworn out by DR.. D. c. McCienny,
wealthy Richmond physician, who
insists the garage worker kid
naped his daughter, despite the
fearful denials of Mary Frances,
who insists she left Richmond
with Dickinson Of her "own free
will"
Girl In SanatOriuna
Miss McClenny is a patient In
the Tucker Sanatorium here, and
while under observation there will
be in the care Of specialists on
nervous disorders. She is said
by her family to have been under
a doctors care for q year or
more.
She was reported in a state Of
utter collapse following her dra.
matte return to her home from
WayneSboro, Va, where she and
Dickinson had occupied love
nest for almost two weeks, while
private detectives and police
secured this and adjoining States
for the pair.
The palatial McClenny home,
Hampton Gardens, an exclusive
residential colony, has been vir-
tually shut up" since before the
return of Mary Frances, and only
intimate friends of the family
have been admitted.
Conviction Doubtful
In view of Miss McClenny's ad-
mission that she went away with
Dickinson of her own volition:
that force was not used, and that
no inducements whatever were
offered her to leave the comforts
of her fathers house, it is
doubted here that the abduction
charge can be made to stick
against Dickinson.
It has been impossible to get
a statement from any member of
the McClenny' family, and A..
Russell Bowles, jr., Richmond at
torney, who was engaged to rep
resent the McClenny family while
the country was being combed
for some clew to the whereabouts
of the missing girl, declares they
are in no condition to make a
statement at this time.

The plain Sloped upward as they pro-
ceeded west toward a chain of low bare
hills that ran north and south, and
gave no promise of the sudden change
from the harsh uninviting range land
TO the lush greenness of cultivated lands
beyond. AS they reached the summit of
this low range square mile after square
mile of smiling green valley lay OUT
spread before them. The temperature
dropped noticeahly, because Of the west

VALENTINO STATUE
DEDICATION HELD
Hollywood Cold Toward Me-
mortal for Late Film
Luminary.
BY the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 7.-Dedi-
Gated by Dolores del Rio. Spanish ac-
treSs. before u curious group of 800
persons, bronze statue III memory Of
Rudolph Valentino, once known as the
most popular moving picture actor, to-
day stood in De Longpre Park.
Not Hollywood picture star OF the
days OF Valentino attended the service.
The statue, called Aspiration Is the
work of Roger Noble Burnham, once Of
Boston, now of Hollywood.
Peculiarly, the art work. paid for by
the late actors admirers, was grudging-
~ given a place in the park by the
city commissioners. They contended
that no other statue of film celebrity
had been erected; that Hollywood
couldn't be cluttered up with bronze
memories of picture luminaries, and
Furthermore, 1t would look like pIL-
licity."
The figure is tensed, head thrown
back, as though III face of wind, and
arms stiffened TO the sides. 1t bears
not the slightest resemblance to- Val-
tntmO That was one of the agree
ments which permitted its erection in
the park.
After the death in 1916 in New York
of the actor, his friend and executor
of his estate, George Ullman, estab-
lished Valentino clubs throughout the
United States. From their contribu-
tons funds for the symboliCal work
were provided. When Hollywood first
showed reluctance at acceptance OF
the gift, New York and Chicago both
invited it's erection there.
