Harlov' s Husband Had a Previous Wife
Babe Ready
For Series.
Says Boss

DETROIT, Sept. 8 G.N.SJ.
Babe Ruth is not likely to be
kept out of the world series
Manager Joe Mccarthy, of the
New York Yankees, said today
intimating that he did not believe
the illness which sent the home
run king to New York was
serious.
Ruth left his team last night,
after telephoning Mccarthy at
Buffalo that he was i'll and be.
lieved he had appendicitis. Nc
Carthy gave him permission to
go to New York for a medical
examination. He said today:
"Of course, 1 haven't seen
Ruth, but 1 know his tempera-
ment, Pm hoping he's suffer
ing only from fatigue and
nervousness. / told him when
he telephOned me last night to
go to the best surgeon in
Detroit. But the Babe said
he'd rather go to New York
for an examination. So / told
him to go ahead.
"The Babe has been playing
great baseball all year and it
is quite a strain on his nerves.
e / thought 1t best to let him
go to New York and lose him
in the Detroit games than make
him stay and have him all
upset for the world SERIES"
Teammates were not inclined
to view the big hitter's ailment as
grave. One said:
whenever the Babe eats too
many hot dogs, he thinks he's
got appendicitis. He'll be
Okay."

ENGLAND GLUN|
ON DEBT GUT

LONDON, Sept. 8 G.N.SO.
PeSsimism over the possibility Of
war debt revision by the United
States was expressed today by
the Financial News, Britain's
leading financial publication.
Coincident with the growing
belief that Britain's next debt
install m ent of approximately
1921 100000, due on December Is,
would be paid ON schedule, the
Financial News reviewed the
events of the last few months
and concluded that public opin-
ion in the United States appeared
to preclude the possibility of re-
vision at the present time. 1t
said:
"Any private understanding
with President HOOver-and
there is very good reason to be-
lieye that indirect approaches
have been made with a view to
obtaining such an understand
ing-wOuId only be Of value in
the event Mr.. Hoover was re-
turned to office. AS a con-
sequence, something more than
a private understanding really
is required"
The final date on which per.
mission to postpone the install
ment may be sought from Wash
ington is September Is. Financial
and government leaders believe
the period will elapse without
word from London.

DRYS GATHER
TO MAP OUT
CAMPAIGN
Battle Expected as 2 Groups
Meet to Decide Course
On Candidates

A final battle to commit the
organized drys of the nation
to a third party movement in
the Presidential campaign was
opened here today as leaders
gathered for two meetings
which may chart the course OF
the drys in the fall campaign,
The leaders who demand that
the dry organizations cooperate in
a third party movement apparent
ly were waging a hopeless fight
because Of their inability to OBJ
tain an outstanding national
character to head the movement.
The executive committee of the
Anti-Saloon League gathered for
a tWo-day meeting with the board
of strategy of the conference of
organizations Supporting the
Eighteenth Amendment, scheduled
to meet tomorrow night.
1nEec DcVcIOpmCutS
Three outstanding developments
marked the early stages of the
conferences of the badly split dry
leaders. They were:
/. An effort by third party
leaders to force a call of the
board of the conference Of or
ganizations supporting the Eigh-
teenth Amendment, 80 in all,
failed because only a half dozen
member societies would back the
demand. Instead the smaller
board Of strategy will meet.
2. A proposal will be laid be-
fore the board of strategy by
Rev. canon William Sheafe
Chase, of the International Re
form Federation, to cooperate
with the Liberty party, headed
by William H. (Coin) Harvey.
and the Prohibition party in
rolling up a protest vote.
3. The Anti-Saloon League
committee, it was indicated, will
approve the stand of Superir-
tendent F. Scott Mcbride in
declaring neutrality in the
Presidential race and, concen-
trating on the Senatorial and
Congressional contests.
Chase Bolts Wilson
The Rev. Canon Chase, leading
the third party fight among the
organized drys, refused to follow
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, who
said that he would vote for Nor
man Thomas, Socialist candidate
for President. He said:
"My idea is that we should
cooperate with the Liberty
party, which is IS per cent
dry, and the prohibition party.
In States where the Liberty
party is strong, the prohibition
party can step aside. And in
other States where the prohibit
tiOn party has qualified for the

WOOD, Sept. 8
I.N.S.) "A fresh collapse on
the part of Jean Harlow today

as a witness at an inquest into
the death of the screen stars
husband, Paul Bern, who shot
himself to death Sunday night.
Announcement Of her break.
down came from the home Of her
mother, Mrs. Marino Bello, where
it was stated the new turn in her
condition had caused friends and
relatives to abandon plans to al
low her to appear at the inquest
to testify. ....-
After an airplane ride across
the country, Henry Bern, brother
of the dead executive, held mid
night conference with Miss Har-
low and declared:

DEATH"
"OnIy Way Out"
Bern learned from friends that
Paul's fears and worries over his
physical condition and the fixed
belief it would bar a happy
marriage with the actress led him
to kill himself as 1.-The only way
out"
From the office Of Coroner
Frank Nance came information
that an autopsy by DR.. Frank
Webb, county surgeon, and clinic
data disclosed functional dis
order, but showed that Bern was
free from disease of any kind.
At the same time it was
learned that DR.. Edward B. Jones,
now in Honolulu, specialist and
personal physician to Paul Bern,
had held a radio telephone con-
versation with Louis B. Mayer,
film executive.
DR.. Jones was understood to
have given Mayer information
which may be presented to the
coroner's jury today.
Jeans Condition Worse
Mayer disclosed that Henry
Bern and Miss Harlow had been
closeted together for an hour
alone at the home of her mother
and Stepfather, Mr.. and Mrs.
Marino Bello, about midnight, dis
cussing Paul's suicide.
Mayer said:
Miss HarIOw's condition Is
far worse than it was the day
before yesterday. Henry Bern'S
resemblance to her dead hus-
band caused her to break down
and cry bitterly"
Henry Bern was met at the
airport by his brothers secre-
tary, Miss Irene Harrison. They
went at once to the Bello home,
where studio officials waited, and
the conference with Miss Harlow
was started at II p. m.
Physicians In Conference
Bern was closeted alone with
the platinum blonde widow for
an hour. They inspected various
personal effects of Paul Bern.
Several physicians, including an
associate of DR.. Jones, who knew
Bern's secret, and had tried to
help him, were at the Bello home,

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 8
G.N.S.). - Deeply concerned
over the farm strike movement
in the grain belt, Senator Will
liam E. Borah (R.) of Idaho
today appealed to the business
leaders of the nation to ar
range a scaling down" of
farm mortgages as the first
step toward restoration of
agricultural prosperity.
In an interview Borah said the
farmers distress was too great to
be solved by local relief measures
Challenges Candidates
Borah challenged both Presi.
dent Hoover and Franklin D.
Roosevelt, rival Presidential
candidates, to announce spectre
measures for the relief of agri-
culture.
Borah declared the plight of
agriculture could be remedied
only by an equitable settlement
of the monetary, reparationS,
debt and tariff problems of the
world.
He declared:
"The farmer has ample juSti-
ficatiOn for striking, but don't
believe it will permanently solve
any of his problems. The poll
ticians have dealt with the
farm question for 10 years with
out reaching a solution.
URGES DEBTS CUT
Zone thing has to happen.
Farm mortgages and farm in.
debtedneSS must be scaled down.
The farmer can never pay off
his present indebtedness. There
is talk Of scaling down war
debts. but 1 feel it is far more
important to scale down farm
mortgages and farm debts than
any international debts.
"UnlesS the farmer is re-
lieved in part Of his indebted
ness, the big insurance COM
panieS and mortgage cOmpa-
nies will own our country. The
farmers are losing their homes
and lands at an appalling rate.
Farm Indebtedness is now
$12,OOO,OOO,OOO, drawing inter-
est all the way from 6 to 8
per cent. At present cOmmOd-
ity prices, that debt represents

to be expected in view of the re

also to the fact that in periods of

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 81
Roosevelt pledged delegates maintained
a commanding lead in returns from the
Alabama Democratic primary today, but
a run-off between the incumbent dry
senatorial candidate and referendum
advocate appeared likely in that race.
Returns from 1882 Of the 2,126 ballot
boxes in the State gave candidates for
delegate at large pledged to support Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New York for
the presidential nomination a more
than two-to-one advantage. Roosevelt
pledged district delegates likewise led
uninstructed states, but there was posi-
bility of some run-offs.
The incomplete returns, however, con-
tinued to point to the placing OF Ala
bama's full "a convention votes IN
RooseVelt's column.
In the senatorial race the dry incum-
bent, Senator Black, had 64,496 votes
from 1,343 boxes, while former Gov.
