''RED" ARTIST FINDS
| KIND FEELING HERE.
Eimka Simkhovitch Prefers
/ U. S. to France-ShoWs
! Work in New York.
~ the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 24.-Simka
Gimkhovitch finds America kind to a
Soviet artist.
Mr.. Simkhovitch Is showing some
kentle portraits Of children at the
Hackett Galleries this week and telling
people that America is preferable to
France. not only for young artist
from Russia, but for any artist.
He feels this way: American art and
American art appreciation is young, ro-
bust, vigorous; French art Is dying
school.
French See Red.
Moreover. he says. Frenchmen just
Ran't divorce their politics from their
pigments and when they see one Of Mr..
Stnkhovitch's paintings, they see red.
Mr.. Simkhovitch doesn't like that
&ort Of thing. He is a gentle fellow,
hot much interested in politics, and his
nEe of red is confined for the most part
10 daubs of paint that represent rudy
kheeks Of youngsters.
Once he did paint Russian soldier
ktanding in a red box surrounded by
labor and the proletariat, and for 1t he
rot a handsome prize. It is called
FRussiar Revolution" and it hangs in
khe Leningrad Museum of the Revolu-
Zion.
He left Russia seven years ago.
IT must say" he relates, they have
very good intention to art in Russia
When the Czarist regime fell Mr..
Eimkhovitch forgot to change his
Czarist money into Soviet money.
Held 10 Days.
They were awfully nice, must admit
t-=they only held be in jail 10 days.
An artist can't make much money In
Russia these days, he says. Under the
rules he is supposed to sell all his paint
hngs to the government. Nevertheless, he
Mntimated, there is little winking on
the part Of Soviet officials II an artist
lis able to pick up penny or two In
private commission.
On the whole Mr.. Simkhovitch Is
pleased that his native land goes in
dor art galleries in the factories now
and lets everybody see the old treasures.
IT must admit" he says they are
hwfully NICE"

 FREED OF
 SPINDLE
Not Identified as One of Three Men Who Took $5O,OOO From Woman Internal Revenue COllec= tor in Slick Game

Chicago, Jan 24-(U. P.)-There were persistent reports to-day that Mrs Myrtle Tanner Blacklidge would resign immediately as collector of internal revenue because of her con- nection with the loss at Springfield of $50,0O0 of Edward R. Litsinger's money.
 Mrs Blacklidge, who contends she borrowed the money from Litsinger and lost 1t to three swindlers in a faro game, was in seclusion. Her physician, Dr Anton Frana, said she was suffering a nervous collapse.
 Litsinger, meanwhile, was taking definite steps in an effort to prove his charges that Mrs Blacklidge had been a party to the swindle, which he termed robbery" and that he and he only had been the loser.
 In newspaper and political circles 1t was believed that Mrs Blacklidge almost certainly would resign. It was known that federal investigators had questioned her at length and that their report has been forwarded to Washington.
 Mrs Blacklidge was appointed by President Coolidge on recommenda- tion of Senator Charles s. Deneen.

MANY PAPERS ARE LEFT BEHIND BY
 MISSING JUDGE

New York, Jan 24.-(UP)-A complete list of papers found in the apartment of Joseph Force Crater, missing former supreme court jus tice, was made public by Ralph O.. Fay, attorney for Mrs Crater. Fay said his client was "eager and anxious" to answer all questions she could about her husbands disap- pearance and would confer again with District Attorney Grain to-day. He said he had asked her if she thought her husband was dead and she replied:
 "I can't understand how Joe would do anything like that. He was in good health and I can not understand why he stays away. l am sure I don't know but l don't think he met with foul play. l am at an utter loss to know what he did,
 she drew from the line Am very weary" appended to q memoranda of debts.
 That could have one of two meanings" Fay quoted her as say ing. "Either he killed himself or he went away for a rest. l don't know what to think about it.''
 The items found in drawer in the apartment included five bank books with aggregate deposits of ,000, life insurance policies to- talling $30,000 stocks, real estate deeds and a list of money owed him.

ALABAMA STATE
 PRISON CUTTED
 BY COSTLY FIRE
Main Building Badly Dam= aged But None of the 562 COnvicts Was in Burned Part

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 24-(UP) The main building of the Alabama state prison was heavily damaged by fire today. Flames which broke out shortly before midnight gained rapid headway and destroyed the entire north wing of the building. The prisons executive offices and one of the textile factories were burned to the ground. The prison, located at Wetumpka, IA miles from here, houses 562 convicts. None were sleeping in the burning build ing, however, and no disorder was encountered by the prison authori- ties.
 Fire companies were summoned from Wetumpka and Montgomery to help the prison force combat the flames, which at one time during the night threatened the other buildings of the institution. Bremen said at 4 a. m. tf at they had the blaze un- der control and expected no fuhther damage. After destroying the north wing of the main building, the flames spread to the south wing and caused some damage in that section before help arrived from nearby cities

In 1929 1,54S persons were booked at police headquarters on that charge of intoxication, while during the past year only 1,179 were taken in. Two years ago GAS persons were arrested for breach of the peace, which included everything from poking Q cop in the eye to throwing mother-in-law out of the house. Whether there were fewer cops to punch or a scarcity of mothers-in- Jaw to expel it is interesting to observe that in the year just checked off the calendar only All were taken into custody on this heretofore popular complaint.
 Yes, sir. whoopee days must be associated with more prosperous times. As the depression makes It. self more distasteful intoxication de- creases. but instances of theft multi ply and non-support cases get lair minded. In 1929, 57 cases of theft were listed compared to 88 of the past year, juvenile delinquency, which consists mostly of theft also advanced from 129 to IA; 35 cases in which persons were accused of stealing automobiles represents an increase of six over 1929 and non- support, which supposedly reached a high-water mark for all time when 190 cases were recorded two years ago, exceeded last year by the nar-

HOOVER POWER BOARD IS UNDER
 BITTER ATTACK
Senator Walsh of Montana Led the Hostile Forces and Names of Board Have Been Sent Back

Washington. Jan 24.-(UP)-The senate yesterday sent back to com mittee for further investigation the names of three federal power com missioners whose appointments President Hover refused to return to the senate for reconsideration. The three Chairman George Otis Smith of Maine, Marcel Barsaud of Louisi- ana, and Claude l.. Draper of Wyo- ming. incurred the wrath of western senators when they discharged So- licitor Charles A. Russell and Chief Accountant William V. King.
 Senator Walsh, dem, Mont, led the attack. alleging that the discharges resulted from the attempts of the two employees to protect the public's interest in water power projects. The vote was 45 to 32. The vote to recommit followed several hours de- bate in which President Hoover was directly accused of supporting the anti-government control views of Frank F. Bonner, former executive secretary of the commission, and now an employe of the interior de- partment's reclamation service.

DAISY IN TEARS
 SWEARS REVENGE
BY RONALD w. WAGNER. United Press Staff COrrcsDOndcnt


 Los Angeles, Jan 24.-UP)- Daisy De Voc, former secretary to Clara Bow, was prisoner No 142431 in the Los Angeles county jail to- day, under conviction of grand theft on one of 35 counts the film star filed against her.
 jury of seven men and five women all middle-aged, returned a compromise verdict against Miss De- voc at 3:45 p. m. yesterday, ending AS hours of argument. All members joined in asking that leniency be shown by the court.
 Miss De Voc wept hysterically when the verdict was read and she realized that she faced a term of one to ten years in San Quentin prison. She was in state of semi collapse when taken to the Jail on the 18th floor of the hall of justice and placed in women's tank D-1.
 The verdict came suddenly at a time when Judge William C. Doran and others connected with the trial believed the jury was hopelessly deadlocked.
 Miss De Voc sat quietly near the counsel table when news came from the jury room that verdict was ready. She watched the 12 jurors
 
 Judge Doran. who took the report case from the bailiff.
 We find the defendant. Daisy De Voc. guilty of count No in the in- dictment. the judge read. A photographer boomed new type bulb flashlight near Miss De Voc and it seemed to be the spark which touched off her nerves- strained from 10 days in the court room.
 She started to sob convulsively and threw herself into the arm of her sister, Mrs Grace Black, who went inside the rail from the section reserved for spectators.
 "Oh. why didn't they find me guilty of everything?" Miss De Voc sobbed. 'If I am guilty of one l am guilty of all. If I'm innocent of 34 charges, I'm just as innocent on the one charge left"
 Daisy found little consolation in the jury's request that letter urging tendency be read into the records.

Paris, Jan 24-Pierre Laval. for mer cabinet member, still was re- garded today as the most likely can- didate for the premiership lost by Theodore Steeg.

LABOR PARTY OF GREAT BRITAIN
 IS WIDELY SPLIT
Left Wing Is Going to Call for General ElectiOn- Would Scrap Present Govt and Seek Dictator

London. Jan 24-UP)-Members of the left wing of the labor party headed by James Maxtcn, intend to urge immediate general elections at a meeting of the parliamentary la bor party Tuesday, the Daily Ex- press understood today.
 The meeting of the party was called originally to consider the plans of Sir Oswald Mosley for the relief of unemployment. Sir Oswald, in a recent manifesto, recommended that the "antiquated" political machin- cry of Britain be scrapped, and that virtually dictatorial powers be vested in few men at the head of the government.
 It was understood that Maxton and his followers would urge the government to recognize the futility of continuing in office under present conditions, lacking a majority in the house of commons and depending upon liberal support to remain in power. They were expected to ask Prime Minister Macdonald to submit to the house of commons and the national labor conference a general election program on labor lines, and then to the country irrespective of whether the government is defeated in parliament.

 As a result of political interfer- ence, the commission said, the char acter and appearance of agents were often such that district attorneys had no confidence in their cases and iuries paid little attention to their testimony. The report referred frequently to "evidence of connection between corrupt local politics and gangs" It also cited the systematic collection of tribute from the organized liquor traffic for corrupt political pur- poses"
