Aquatic Stars Child Fathered
by FeIon, Now Doing Term
of 5 Years for Forgery

" ~ val wv ~ o.
NEW YORK, Nov. 80
(I.N.S.)-Miss May Gledhill,
internationally famous Cana
madam aquatic athlete, lies in
Nassau County Hospital at
Mineola today defying all eff
forts to save her life by oxygen
from the death which she pre-
ferred and tried to inflict upon
herself because two great gov
ernments threatened to sepa-
rate her from her year-old
baby.
Her attempt at suicide in the
home of the father Of her child
and his forgiving wife may be
the last chapter in one Of the
queerest love tangles ever pro-
duced even in New York.
Father. In Prison
william Cornor, father Of the
child, is doing a five-year stretch
in prison for forgery. He was
sent there last fall and while he
was on trial he brought Miss
Gledhill into his home and intro
duced her to his wife, who Is
twice her age.
The introductions over, Miss
Gledhill threw back a light
blanket from one end OF bundle
she carried in her arms and re-
vealed sleeping child. MRS.
Cornor cooed:
ooh, what a darling baby!
cts ours" said william Cor
nor and nodded toward the girl
"Her's and mine"
Mrs. Coroner went white ana
then the color surged back into
her face and she smiled again.
"GOOd!" she said simply:
'oThen they must live with US.
They Moved In
So the girl mother and the
child moved into, the home Win
the forgiving wife, while Corner
began his sentence. They were
ali very happy together. They
would have been today, only
someone told Government agents
that Miss Gledhill, the young
mother, was unmarried, that the
father of her baby was CONVICT
and a felon.
The United States Government,
it became known, would deport
her as an undesirable alien.
Banned Her Baby
Saturday, however, she learned
that while the Canadian govern
ment would allow her to enter
and live within the Dominion, 1t
banned her baby. Her first init
nation came with the visit to the
Elm Street home Of two lmmigrar
ton officials and an official OF
the Salvation Army. May saw
them coming and intuitively knew
the worst.
She ran to the bathroom Sob
bling and locked the door, and
Mrs, Cornor went to the front
door and opened it for them:
just as Mrs. Cornor greeted the
visitors, there was a sharp cry OF
pain behind the locked door and
a thud.
The four broke down the door
and found the girl writhing and
moaning in pain. She was rushed
to the hospital.
May Have Been Poison
There, when doctors had
soothed her with opiates, they
asked her what she had taken.
She replied:
81 won't tell you. I would
rather die than be parted from
my baby"
There were traces in her stom-
ach of a metal that might be a
poison and her condition is be-
lieved to have been caused either
by that or some major abdominal
trouble.

SHIPPERS ASK
SUSPENSION Of
RATE RULING
CBy Staff Correspondent


HARLINGEN, Sept. TO- The
Valley Shippers Assn. plans to ask
the interstate commerce commission
for q suspension of a new ruling
making the present rate on full
topped carrots. beets. etc. apply also
on clipped top vegetables until such
a time as a public hearing can be
had in the Valley, according to G.

He said that this proposition ef-

even remotely connected with the
industry because through these new
rates 1t will mea the wiping out
OF shipments a~ggregating from s.
600 to 5000 carloads annually.
Origin carriers asked for the
new ruling for the following rea-
sons: ID The I. G. G. has called
their attention to the fact that the
present description, using the
words clipped tops" Is not the
proper tariff description and should
be clarified. 90 The destin-.ti

willing TO concur in rates other
than on the different bases that
apply, that Is, one on vegetables
without tops and one on vege-
tables with tops. a. That Ii has
been impossible TO secure a
unanimous opinion from vegetable
shippers as TO what the lenc.h or
a clipped top" should be, some
shippers asking for ten Eches,
some IA and some Is. 80 II has
been impossible to define what a
clipped top legally Is. because
IL is m~anifestly impossible
to clip each leaf without retard-
ing the prompt loading which fresh
vegetables must have. CD Clip
ping parts OF the tops on some
punches has resulted In numerous
claims for overcharges and under
charges. due to the difference OF
opinion between origin and des-
tination carriers

fore the Southwestern Freight 5u-

DRY FORCE TO
FEEL HOOvER'S
ECONOMY AK
$500 Agents to Be Re-
tanned Despite Budget
Cut; Arrests Increase.
BY THOMAS L.. STOKES
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Presi-
dent Hoover's economy program will
extend to prohibition enforcement.
No increase in the number of dry
agents under Amos w. Woodcock,
federal prohibition director, is pro-
vided in the budget to be submitted
to congress, it was learned today.
The force will be maintained at its
present strength of $500, despite
reports an increase would be sought.
Though no figures have been pub
lished, the requested amount for
the prohibition bureau is expected TO
run between $4,000 900 and
$1O,O0O,O 900.
Last year congress appropriated
$11 ,000, 900, of which $2,000,000 was
for 500 additional agents, who were
.inducted into service only four
months ago.
Woodcock holds that more money
for prohibition enforcement is I'M
justified in this time of depression

Cuthbertson said that the COM
mission appraisal of several years

water company properties, but that
the commission never has made an

plant.
Company %appraisals were used by
the commission in approving the
merger of electric properties here

Basis of the rate reduction petit
ton is the decreased cost of repro
duction now and the contention
that returns on present investment
are excessive.
