CLOTH AL|MONY.
PLEA UPHELD

RICHMOND. Va, Jan. 27.-The
appeal of commemorative Attor-
ney w. C. Cloth. of Arlington
county, from a decision in the
Arlington circuit court involving
payment of $1,000 back alimony
was granted here yesterday by
the State supreme court.
The case grows out of divorce
proceedings instituted several
years ago by Mrs. Marjorie
Schnider Cloth, in which she
was granted a partial divorce
with alimony Of $50 per week.
Subsequently, after Mr.. Cloth
had been shot by his wife, he ac-
cused her of gross misconduct
and asked that her decree be set
aside and that he be granted an
absolute divorce and annulment
of the alimony.
A demurrer, filed by Mrs.
Cloth, to his divorce bill, was sus-
tanned and it is from this deci-
sion that his appeal is taken.

ON COLD BASIS

Persistent rumors in many parts
of the world that the United
States contemplates an abandon
ment of the gold standard has
convinced Washington there is an
international propaganda cam
paign in progress aimed at forcing
America into the silvery group.
Both Secretary Mellon and Un-
dersecretary Ogden L. Mills have
declared flatly the Treasury has
no thought of going off the gold
standard. Monetary gold stocks
are approximately $4,458, ,000, 900,
nearly half the worlds supply.
From the middle of September
to the end of october, following
abandonment of the gold standard
by Great Britain, the United
States lost $725, 900 900 in gold,
without any further effect than
contributing, along with money
boarding, to a Tightening of the
money market. Most of the gold
lost has been regained.

SLAVERY
CHARGE DENIED
.International Photo

A general denial of charges
made by the American Federation
of Labor that a "hideous condi-
ton of slavery" existed among
contractors employees in the Mis-
sissippi Valley was issued today
by Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, Chief
of United States Army Engineers.
Brown admitted that some Of
the contractors were exploiting
their labor. He found that wages
of common labor in some cases
we're relatively low and that hours
in isolated cases we're unreason-
ably long; also that some con-
tractors compelled their laborers
to purchase supplies from the con-
tractors commiSSary.
Brown said, however:
"T find there is no evidence
whatever to show that any viO-
lence has been offered to any
man by contractors or COntrac-
tors agents.
Labor is working at it's own
free will and is under no COM
pulSiOn as to labor or place of
living"

B| BOARD CITES
Anniversary

One hundred and forty eight
years ago today George Washing
ton resigned his commission as
commander-in-chief of the Revo-
lutionary Army and again became
@ private citizen.
The ceremony, held in the
Maryland State House at Annapo'
lis, according to the U. S. Bicen-
tennial Commission, was espe.
cially significant as he might
easily have become dictator OF
the liberated colonies.
Officers and soldiers, who had
in many instances sacrificed their
personal fortunes for the cause,
had long been unpaid. Facing
the prospect of being turned back
pennileSs into private life, spokes-
men suggested to Washington
that he head a movement to take
over the Government. This he
refused and eventually persuaded
Congress to pay back salaries.

trict, McFadden declared he will
continue to criticize President
Hoover and the Administration
for it's European moratorium
program.
Meanwhile, threats of the Re

PENALTY
FOR K|DNAPERS
To BE ASKED
Two Poverty-StriCken Farmers
Admit Part in Abduction
of Wealthy Woman

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. %
LN.S.).-Because their need
of money drove them to aid
in the kidnapping of Mrs. Nell
Quinlan Donnelly, millionaire
"apron queen, two poverty
stricken tenant farmers faced
possible death today.
The two confessed amateur abb
ductors, William L. Browning, AZ,
and Paul Scheidt, 20, were held
in the jefferson county Jail, for
mally charged with kidnapping,
an offense punishable by death in
Missouri. The State prosecutor
announced he will seek the ex-
treme penalty.
Held without Bail
The State supreme court having
ruled yesterday in another case
that abduction is not a bailable
crime, Browning and Scheidt
were held without bond. Both
men have yielded written confes-
sions of their roles in the SEN
sational kidnapping of Mrs. Don
nelly, wealthy head of house
dress manufacturing concern.
Meanwhile, squads Of detec-
tives roamed the underworld in
search of Marshall Depew,
implicated by Browning and
Scheidt as the ringleader Of the
conspiracy. Vic Bonura, local
restaurant owner, was also
sought. He too, was named by
Browning and Scheidt.
Hard Pressed for Cash
Browning, father of three chill
dren, said the distressful financial
condition of his dairy farm led
him to join the conspiracy in
the hope of sharing a small part
of the $4,000 ransom demanded
for Mrs. Donnelly's release. Mrs.
Donnelly was freed without pay
ment of the ransom. Scheidt
said he was in urgent need of
the $1,000 promised him for use
of his rented farm house as a
hiding place. .-
