Death of Noted Screen Star
Recalls Thrilling Career Of
Happiness, Sorrow, Tragedy

Like a medieval princess, Alma
Rubens, the famous movie star,
was buried today.
Surrounded by hundreds of her
subjects and women who
had bowed the knee to her when
she was the reigning toast of
Hollywood and Broadway-the
last honors the world could pay
were bestowed upon the screen
star as her body was entombed
in the family crypt at Fresno,
Calf. 49,,
Final funeral services were held
at Glendale Saturday, hence there
was none today. But throngs
crowded the cemetery to. catch a
final glimpse of the casket before
st was placed in the crypt. The
body was accompanied by Mrs.
Theresa Rubens, mother Of the
dead actress, and Miss Rubens'
sister, Mrs. Hazel Large.
Pneumonia Caused Death
Alma Rubens died last wednes-
day in Hollywood. A weakened
constitution, ravaged by drugs,
failed to survive an attack Of
pneumonia. ,,
The life of Alma Rubens is
one of the most tragic epics Of
modern times. Born in San Fran
cisco 81 years ago, her life was a
curious blending of tragedy and
happiness and failure.
The Washington Times today
presents the first instalment OF
'"The Tragic Life of Alma Ru-

Coast Guard Says Josephine
Was Inside 12-MiIe Limit
When Shot Killed Skipper

The Coast Guard was well
within its rights in firing IN
the Canadian schooner "JOs-
ephine K" Just outside New
York harbOr, and the killing Of
the captain Of the vessel, Viii
liam p. Cluett, was merely an
incident" Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury LOwman de
clared today.
He asserted the Capadian
boat was well within the 12-
mile limit and that it was
caught in the act of tranSferr-
ing liquor to American boats.
A thorough investigation of
the fatal shooting of Capt. VIM
P. Cluett. skipper Of the Cana
dian schooner Josephine K.." by
u. s. Coast Guardsmen, in Am
broSe Channel, was ordered to-
day by the Treasury Department,
In expectation Of another con-
troversy with the Canadian Gov
ernment.
Cutter Sent Out
The Coast Guard Cutter
"SebagO" was ordered from
New York today to proceed to
the scene of the conflict, and
check the position to deter
mine whether the Canadian
boat was within or without
the 12-miIe limit when the
coast guard opened fire.
Treasury officials asserted
their information showed the
liquor-laden schooner was within
the 12-mile limit, but the
"Sebago" was ordered out to
make the reckoning neverthe-
less.
Protest Is Expected
Meanwhile the Canadian Lega-
ton preserved silence concern
ing the affair until a complete
record can be obtained.
Irrespective of whether the
"JOsephine K" is ultimately
established to have been in
side the 12-mile limit, it is
expected the Canadian Govern :
ment will lodge a stiff pro-
test with the StaSe Depart
ment.
