that unless the equality in ornaments
is granted by the powers. Germany
will quit the world disarmament con-
ference.
Before and after the publication of
the note, Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher,
minister of defense, declared in ad-
dresses and interviews that if the de-
mand were not granted Germany
would arm anyway, and he was most
emphatic In his statements. To
newspaper men in Koenigsberg he as
serted stormily: II mean everything
I have said. We will no longer stand
for being treated like second rate

Premier Herriot decided that
Frances reply to the Germans should
be refusal to discuss their demands,
and in this he was upheld by the cab
met. He also disapproved mixing up
modification of the Versailles treaty
with the disarmament conference, and
in his answer said that If the Ger
mans questioned the accepted inter-
probation of the Versailles treaty and
the League covenant, the matter must
be referred to arbitration by the
League council or the world court.
Some stress was also placed on the
fact that the military clauses in the
treaty of Versailles form the basis
of many other postwar treaties and
that the entire edifice of postwar
Europe win be imperiled If they are
tempered with.

7 OS ANGELES, the prolific source
II of tragedies, provided another
the suicide of Paul Bern, moving pic
ture executive and husband of Jean
Harlow. a famous screen actress.
For reasons that at this writing are
unknown, Mr.. Bern shot and killed
himself in the beautiful home he pre-
sented to his bride when they were
married two months ago. He left a
note that only added to the mystery.
It said he was making good 1.-The
frightful wrong have done you" and
wiping out his "abject humiliation"
and Miss Harlow insisted she did not
know what he meant and that they
had been perfectly happy together.
Mr.. Bern, who was born in Germany
AZ years ago. had been actor. stage
manager and director, and in his
work in pictures was very successful
and popular. His associates said he
had been acting strangely Of late, and
that his mother and three of his sis
tiers had committed suicide.
One possible explanation for Bern's
suicide was revealed when it was
learned that for years before his mar
rage to Jean Harlow he lived with
another woman. His brother asserted
Bern continued to support her in
sanitarium after she had a nervous
breakdown. and that Miss Harlow
knew all about it. For ten years this
woman lived at the Hotel Algonquin
in New York city as Mrs. Paul Bern
and paid her bills with checks sent
to her fortnightly from Hollywood by
the movie executive. She left the ho-
tel last winter and had her trunks
shipped to San Francisco.

 Usually, when rookie takes his first shot at the big leagues, he Is considered to be on trial. Weaver, leagues are on trial with him.
 If baseball big league base- baii---proves to be paying propo- sition, and he likes 1t. Weaver will stick until he has his bank balance looking healthy. If the business doesn't appeal to him, he'll quit and return to his teach ing.
 Won Five Straight
 Monte Weaver, aged 25. is the high-priced right-handed pitcher that Washington purchased from the Baltimore International League club last fall. Weaver won his first three starts this season, shutting out the Boston Red Sox once, and defeating the Athletics twice, ale lowing them only seven hits in one contest.
 Missed Scholarship
 The North Carolina youngster was graduated from Emory Henry College in Virginia, after having missed a Rhodes Scholar ship by a hair. He was practical ly assured of the honor, but the professor who was to have filed his application had an absent minded spell and forgot Weaver's application until 1t was too late. ;.
 Weaver then accepted post at the University of Virginia as an assistant professor of mathe- matics. He liked the work, but the salary didn't make the. post at- tractive. Weaver had acquired something of reputation as a pitcher while at Emory Henry So he turned to baseball. He rose rapidly and led the International League In 1881.
 Washington bought him for a large handful of cash, and enough players to outfit an entire minor league. Monte reported to the Na- tionals last fall in time to start and win one game.
 Minors Tough
 "There's not much money in tho mlnors," says Weaver. And it's harder to hold you job. Aside from having to fight youngsters trying to break in, you have to compete with veterans who have slipped out of tho big leagues but who are still valuable to . minor league club. It's tough"
 Viewers favorite pastime, aside from not talking, is reading books on higher mathematics. His room- mates are gradually becoming ac. customed to seeing him sitting up night after night, studying math books, or suddenly exclaiming:
 Say, here's q great problem. Let mo read 1t to you" They ! listen respectfully, but, after all, what do most ball players know about calculus?
 v" A Quiet Boy
 Weaver already has acquired a reputation of being the quietest player in tho big leagues. During the 1892 spring training season he spoke only three words in the pres- ence of reputable witnesses.
 "There's 0 prize offered if Weav- CT speaks" said Al schacht, after three weeks of silence on the part of the rookie.
 "Who gets it?" asked Monte then relapsed into his Great si- lence. 4
