CHICAGO, April 7-"It won't be long now" Professor W. s. Byron assured his sociology class at Northwestern University, Chi cago And the learned gentleman was not forecasting the length of woman's dress during this Spring He was discoursing upon the next plague that he believes will strike these hospitable shores. It is nothing less than "gigoloism.'
 The professional gallant and dancing partner is an accepted European institution. Foreign gov ernments have even recognized the gigolo as member of profession and subjected his fees to income tax. He is familiar figure at all the European resorts where veal thy women seek surcease from the growlings of business maddened husbands, where the jaded orchids of society who have lost the bloom of youth and are satiated with all their own circles have to offer, seek new thrills that will for a moment dispel their blase lethargy.
 The successful gigolo is invari- ably handsome, sleek specimen of the genus homo. He is as nearly a gentleman as a tailor can make him with a stlldioIislv -c0nied sChes- terfieldian manner. Always there

SHAREHOLDERS NOT CREDITORS
 JUDGE DECIDES
Important Ruling Made in Seattle Loan Asso-
 citation Case

SEATTLE, April 7.-Ruling that shareholders in the Puget Sound Savings and Loan Association are not creditors and no act of Bank ruptcy has been committed, Fed eral Judge Jeremiah Neterer has dismissed the petition of invol- untary bankruptcy filed by three shareholders.
 Judge Neterer refused to enter tain argument advanced that an act of bankruptcy was committed when the receiver was appointed and said:
 "A shareholder is not a credi- tor. This is obvious by the statutes which provide that after paying indebtedness, assets shall be re- duced to cash which will be dis tributed among shareholders. This clearly distinguishes between shareholders and creditors"
 Meanwhile the Grand Jury con- tinues to investigate the Associa- tion, with Sue Randall former ibookkeeper for President Adolf Linden, testifying. Linden IS charged with embedding $248, 900.

Schoelkopf case crashed every front page in the country. -e Barry Carman had the face ot a god and the polished manners of a royal duke. He saw while still in his teens that he could capital ize these advantages and he set about doing it. How well he suc- ceeded may be gathered from the fact that in twelve years he "earn- ed" $500,000 as dancing partner and paid escort to wealthy women. He attained nationwide promi- hence in 1923 when Mrs. Schoell- kopf, wife of wealthy Buffalo, N. Y, brewer whom Carnan had taken to party was robbed of $518,000 worth of jewels.
 Later the wealthy brewer divorc- ed his spouse and settled $36,000 a year on her, for life. She dis appeared and finally turned up in Honolulu, married to Carman. She gave him $100.000 as a wedding gift and three months later di- vorced him in Chicago because he beat her for refusing him more. It was said of this king among gigolos that his power over women was so great that he frequently compelled aspirants for his favor to polish his toenails while he lounged on an ornate throne in an trimmed lounging robe.

 On the European Riviera it is not an unusual sight to see one of these perfumed, professional exqui- sites in company with women of families closely akin to royalty. But American women are by far the best and easiest" customers. The gigolo who possesses color full imagination-and many of them do-has only to hint at noble but impoverished family back ground and out comes the pocket book and into the "nobleman's' pocket goes flock of hard-earn- ed American dollars.
 To return to Professor Byron and his fears. The study of such all ahstruse subject as sociology may be responsible for that cru dite gentleman's ignorance of oth- CT national matters, but the fact remains that gigoloism had crept into our country long before the professor ever heard of it.
 As far back as 1923 the gigolo was known in these United States. In that year the famous Carman-

 HUMOR OF OFFICIAL
A d m inistra ton, in All Phases, to Be Investi-
 gated by State Com.

NEW YORK, April 7.--James J. Walker, blithe mayor of New York once remarked that his city "thinks more of mans personal ity than of his attainments.
 Certainly Jimmy" Walker is a personality mayor
 He is more famous for his wise cracks than for his statesmanship. His sartorial elegance has been re- produced in countless news photo graphs.
 His dashing figure, always tardy, has visited the capitals of Europe and the playgrounds of America.
 He is closer to Broadway than to Wall Street or Main Street. Whatever else he is, he is pie turesque-the typical New Yorker of popular conception, except that he was born here. His wisecracks, however, are not the manufactured gags of profess sional comedians, but the spon- l taneous wit of fun-loving lay man.
 l As he was about to take office in 1926, he mournfully referred to "the headaches of the city hall'' that awaited him. In the mayor : alty campaign he had wondered If <, the voters would love him in Mo- vember as they were loudly assert : ing they did before the balloting <, began.
 ! He was, of course, paraphrasing his own song, will you love me in December as you do in May?"
 Now his administration. in all it's departments, faces an investigation ! by a state legislative committee.
 Charges of Inefficiency
 Charges of inefficiency and lax ity in the city's government, pre- sented to Gov. Franklin D. Roose- welt by the city affairs committee, have been sent to the mayor for his answer.
 ] On the mayors foreign tour in 1927 the quips fell on Montmartre and Wilhelmstrasse.
 This meal is the best I have yet drunk" he said. l He called the Americans in Paris fellow refugees from the .Eigh- teenth Amendment. 1 It is one duty of the mayor to greet distinguished visitors. Usual ly his speech begins, "As the repre- sentative of the great city of New York; and ends with a welcome l "to the gateway of America"
 But when he greeted Senatore Guglielmo Marconi, inventor If wireless, he merely said: Bill, you are welcomel"
 That exemplifies the informality of the man who is head of mu- nicipal corporation with 100000 em- ployees and an annual budget of more than half a billion dollars. l Walker is just turning 50. His fashioned house in Greenwich | Village is few doors from the
