Marries Rich Cowboy Actor
In Simple Ceremony; Had
Many RomanceS

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Dec. 5
G.N.S.D CLARA Bow will re-
turn to Hollywood about Janu-
airy to start work on her
Comeback picture, following
a honeymoon at the 1O,OOO-acre
cattle ranch of her new hus-
band, Rex Bell, rich cowboy
film actor, at NiptOn, Calf, 60
miles from Las Vegas, New,
and 10. miles from the nearest
telephone or telegraph station.
Miss Bow, one-time idol of flap
perdom, was married to Bell by
District Judge william E. Orr in
his offices Thursday night at Las
Vegas, New.
Clara in Sports Dress
The witnesses were Undersheriff
r. G.. McCurry and District At
torney Harley Harmon, who, as
attorney for Bell, had just nego-
tiated a private settlement of
gambling debt Bell and Miss Bow
had lost on a prehoneymoon
party at the Meadows gambling
casino.
Although Bell declined to verify
the marriage on the ground that
it would hurt a motion picture
contract of Miss Bow, inquiry of
Miss Bows producer in Holly
wood revealed that her career
will not be interfered with by any
anti-marriage contract clause.
Clara first went to Bells ranch
several months ago following a
nervous collapse in Los Angeles
after her secretary. Daisy Dcvoe,
had been convicted of grand
theft from the actress, and after
Frederick Girnau, who published
a small magazine, had been SEN
fenced to Federal penitentiary
for sending obscene matter con
corning Miss Bow through the
mails.
Clara has been the center of
spotlight of news since she en-
barked upon her screen career.
She has made a fortune in the
films and has a $250,000 trust
fund. the principal of which 3an
never be touched.
Her first romance in Holly
wood. was with young scenario
writer, Carrot Ford, but she lists
Gilbert Roland, rich Californian,
as her first true love-"
Had Many ROmances
Clara next was reported en-
gagged to Victor Fleming, screen
director and soldier. Robert Saw
age, football hero at Yale, and
son of a rich Duluth lumberman,
also became enamored of Clara.
Her alleged friendship with a
Dallas, Tex, physician brought
widespread notoriety and was in
terwoven with her romance with
Harry Richman, star of the
screen and stage.
Gary Cooper, the cowboy film
actor, also admitted he was very
fond of Clara, and the red-headed
little actress was often seen with
him.

BRIDGE WIZARDS
: BAR K|B|TZERS

NEW YORK, Dec. S 0N.S0
For five weeks, beginning Monday
next, "Kibitzers" will be barred
from the highest circles of bridge
society, exiled as unwanted, inter
fering meddlers.
The eagerly awaited marathon
contract bridge tournament be-
tween Ely Culbertson and Sidney
LEM, designed to prove the merits
\ of their respective "approach-forc-
ing" and 1923" systems, will be a
closed affair.
It will be played within the 81
lent confines of hotel room, with
no heavily breathing spectators on
hand to offer gratuitous words of
cheer or criticism, or to vent gasps
of establishment and apprehension
if Mr.. Culbertson or Mr.. LEM
elects to discard an ace.
An adjoining room has been set
aside for reporters and bridge ex-
perts wherein to cool their heels
and possibly indulge in fumbling
rubber or two while the epic match
is in progress.
At intervals, some duly con-
, stituted authority will issue from
the tournament chamber and an
nounce the score and standing to
date.
But those who hoped to profit
by a few lessons from the out
standing contract bridge authori-
ties in the world by hanging over
the back Of Mr.. Lenz'S or Mr.. Cul-
bertson's chair are doomed to dis
appointment.

CONGRESS Meets Monday
For 7ruculent Session

one-year moratorium on interna-
tional war debts.
Unusual secrecy surrounds the
recommendations the President
will make to Congress on bust
ness conditions. Reports that
he had determined upon a new
and ambitious Federal credit
project. involving a revival of the
War Finance Corporation with a
billion dollar basis, went uncon-
firmed. Neither was there any
confirmation of rumors that Mr..
Hoover would propose the estab-
lishment of a half billion dollar
Federal credit set-up for the rail
roads.
Deficit Is Big Problem
The most critical situation with
which the President must deal
concerns the condition of the
Treasury. With the fiscal year
not half over, the Treasury has a
deficit approaching a billion dol
lars. It can be overcome only by
increased taxation or by borrow
ing.
Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon has made an extended report
to the President on the subject
of taxes, proposing among other
things the institution of a modi-
fled sales tax, applicable only to
luxuries. and a broadening of
the base of the income tax.
Whether the President will
make specific recommendations
concerning taxes is not known.

HARRISBURG, w. Va,
Dec. 5.-A letter from Harry
Powers, West Virginia Blue
beard, written to his wife and
sister-in-law from prison, was
expected to play an impor-
tant part in the States case
against the man of many mis-
sives when he goes on trial
for murder Monday.
The letter was written shortly
after Powers was arrested for
the Staying of Mrs. Dorothy
Pressler Lemke, of Northboro,
Mass; Mrs. Asia Eicher, Of Park
Ridge, ILL.,, and the latter's three
young children.
Instructed as witnesses
In the array of damaging evil
dence to be presented by the
prosecution against Powers there
will be many letters - CORE
spondence pledging his heart to
many women whom he intended
to lure to his slaughter garage"
at Quiet Dell as he lured his
known victims.
But this particular letter is a
document containing specific in
structions to his wife, Luella,
and sister-in-law, Eva Strother,
as to how they must testify at
his trial.
It plans defense against the
discovery in his home of the
clothing and household effects Ct
the two strangled women. Both
Mrs. Powers and her sister denied
knowledge of the presence OF
these effects.
Powers further writes how they
should explain the money he
gave them to deposit in the bank.
Authorities claim this money was
the property of Mrs. Lemke.
Reporters Reveal Letter
The missive was turned over
to authorities by the Inter-
national News Service correspond
ent and Ed Freeman, reporter
for the Baltimore News. It was
obtained by them from Mrs.
Powers and her sister.
The letter follows:
"My beloved dears:
I'VE are facing a real bitter
fight, but if we fight together,
we will win.
81 wish to talk to you about
the latest developments, espe-
for the purpose of building a
house at Quiet Dell. You gave
ciaIly first about the suit which
they brought against us all.
They will say that the check I
gave you the other day was part
of the estate of Mrs. Lemke.
"AlI you will need to do is to
testify that you gave me $4,000
