United Press Stan Correspondent.
 New York, Nov 19.-(UP)- Thomas Patrick Morris. 52-year old house painter who emerged from his Brooklyn obscurity to claim the $30,000,000 estate of Miss Ella Wendell as her nephew, faced prosecution to-day because his claim has been proved false.
 Surrogate James A. Farley branded as forgeries the documents Morris produced to support his claim that he was the lawful son of Miss Wendel's brother, the dour, miserly, immensely wealthy bache- Tor whom no one suspected of TO- nance until Morris told of the sup- posed "clandestine marriage"
 1T am convinced that the mar riage certificate is a deliberate for gery.' Surrogate Foley said. "This man is mott he legitimate son ot John G. Wendell; no marriage ever took place between Wendell and Mary Ellen Devine; Morris Is not the nephew of Ella Wendell and has no place in this proceeding.
 T propose to submit the rec ords in this case to the district at- torney and hope that the matter will receive prompt and expedi- tious attention"

 Variety was the basis of the program. Purple and white, the club colors, were the background for the setting dope adequately in lattice work. Tie cast and chorus were immediately cosum- ed in white silk blouses and purple ties.
 Miss Anna Egan, Waterbury Catholic high school graduate, was the hit of the show her rendition of Sweet Mystery of Life" calling for three >encores before the aud fence was content to allow the next number to be presented. Second to Miss Egan was Viola Masone whose presentation of "St Louis Woman" called for two encores and a similar number of Cluh Hollywood dance specialties of the song.

Two Screen Stars at New Garden Robinson and Huston Ap- pear in Feature
 Pictures

Two famous screen names are at | the head of the cast or Ilger shark" the First National exciting | picture of the colorful Tuna indus try which comes to the New Gar den theater Sunday and Monday. Edward G. Robinson. star of the picture and Richard Arlen, long a screen favorite, play together TOT the first time in this stirring ana sensational epic of the seas. a story of life among the fishermen wno take their lives into their nands practically every time they go to sea. In this picture Arlen sings TOT the first time, rollicking songs or the sea. He plays ''Pipes" g mate on Robinson's fishing boats, ana gets his nickname from his vocal Accomplishments. Many or the spectacular sea. shots were made off the west cast of Mexico, where man eating sharks are found Tn great schools. These scenes are said to be thrilling in the extreme Another member of the cast IS Iita Johann, the talented Hungarian actress who has recently come 70 this country to enter pictures, ana who has been a sensation m Broadways productions.
 Throbbing of war drums, the muffled beat of countless black feet trampling the underbrush or the African jungle, and "White Devir' in a wheel-chair, emphasiz- ing his commands with long pull whip. That Is "Kongo." Metro Goidwyn- Mayer melodrama with Walter Huston which is the com panion feature.
 It ia Huston bringing his most colorful stage role to the screen.
 ''Kongo" ran more than a year in
 New York, and 1t was while Hus- ton was enacting the terrifying
 role of ''Deadiegs'' Flint that i Hollywood first saw in him those
 brilliant character talents which
 have since enriched the records of
 screen dranea. Black magic and the
 arts of the white conjurer, Q burn
 ing desire for revenge and the
 pathetic efforts of white men and
 women to fight the spell of the
 jungle-all these are admixed in
 the gripping .fnelodrama which
 takes place in the heart of, Africa,
 where a paralyzed white man rules
 as the uncrowned king of super
 stitious savages and plots his grfsly
 vengeance on those he fancies have
 wronged him. In the feminine roles opposite Huston are Lupe velez
 and Virginia Bruce who became
 Mrs John Gilbert during the film
 ing of "Kongo." Not the least re-
 markable actor in the cast Is the
 chimpanzee "Queenie" that won
 such acclaim in "Tarzan." Support ing these two splendid features
 will be a choice collection of
 short subjects. Women receive

was cheered.

PAYMENT OF SOLDIERS BONUS
DEMANDED IN MURRAY'S PLANK

CHICAGO, June 30. U.P)-The
vote of Gov. William H. Murray's
minority report on the platform
was the first business before the
Democratic convention when it re-
convened at the Chicago stadium
today.
Governor Murray presented the
plank personally before the conven-
ton last night. Representative
Connery, Massachusetts, and Repre-
sentative Ranking Mississippi, who
appeared before the resolutions ana
platform committee to urge immed-
late payment of cash bonus, also
argued for the adoption of the
Murray report, insofar as it related
to the bonus.
The minority platform which
Governor Murray, in measured
words plainly heard over the huge
hall, presented, called for:
Immediate payment of the bal
ance of the soldiers bonus in
cash.
Conscription of property as well
as men in time of war.
A moratorium on the foreclos-
ure of farm and home mortgages
until congress could take some ac-
ton to save the property for its
owners.
Limitation of the federal courts
in injunction matters.
State and national legislation to
discourage ownership of farm lands
by corporations.
Another plank declared:
For the repeal of the 10 per
cent tax on Scotch agricultural
banks passed by congress serving
bondholders and the spectators Of
Wall Street, and which tax drove
out of existence the Scotch agricul-
tural banks which had served so
well the producers of the land since
the formative period of the govern
ment from 1870 until after the Civil
war.
Another stated:
For the conservation of our ma
tural resources and for the renum-
Grafton of enterprises developing
them, we favor authorizing the
league of states as proposed by the
Oil states advisory committee and
now pending in congress"
Makes Striking Figure
Governor Murray pleaded in pic
turesque fashion for the substitute
planks, patterned after his own pol
icies.
Murray made striking, if home
spun appearance. His gray suit,
the same one he has worn since the
convention started, was even bag
gier at the knees.
He walked up to the microphone
like man who knows where he is
going and what he is going to do
there.
He stood calmly for moment,
hands in mis- pockets, his coat
thrown back. Then he said:
1--WE need to reverse the lever.
To do that we need to expand our
currency.
1--WE need reconciliation of sill
yer in the United States. That is
one of my planks."
Murray spoke with few gestures.
Both his hands were in his trousers
pockets. He threw out his words
with emphatic shakes of his head.
"We need something to aid the
independent oil men in the United
States" Murray said "There is
not a word about the independent
oil men in the platform.
I'm not proposing anything that
is merely experimental.
Another plank of this minority
report provides for a moratorium on
mortgages on all homes and farms
in this country. If you do not de-
