WEDS
SECRETARY

NEW YORK, July % CU.SO.
Another she-married-the-boss ro-
nance became known today with
the revelation that. Representa-
tive Samuel Dickstein secretly
married his pretty red-haired Sec
retary, Miss Essie Tevers, last
Tuesday.
The former Miss Tevers had
been secretary to Dickstein for
10 years, ever since he made his
first campaign for Congress, after
serving several terms in the State
assembly.
The Tammany leader and his
bride will sail next week for a
siX-weekS' honeymoon tour of
France and Germany.
DickStein, who represents the
teeming millions of New York S
Lower East Side in Congress, al
most succeeded in keeping his
romance quiet until he had de-
parted for Europe with the new
Mrs. DickStein.
Although he spent yesterday
afternoon among dozens of re-
porters at the annual field day
of the board of aldermen and
City Hail newspapermen, he said
nothing about wedding bells.
The news was finally let out by
his younger brother. Hyman. who
is in the insurance business.
Miss Tevers lived in Brooklyn
before her marriage. and Dick
STEMS home is on East Broadway
New York.

':Fzo" Ziegfeld Wore $40
Shirts, 5000 Suits

their child Patricia was born,
Ziegfeld spent his time in only
two places, his office and his
home at Hastings-on-the-H Hudson.
The waiter in Billy Lahiff's
tavern said:
"He was nuts about prize
fighting and you'd see him at
the Garden every Friday night.
But he was also crazy about
perfume. Can va beat it?
He liked 20 hunt bears up in
Canada and rough it in the
woods. But he'd come in here
dressed in a $40 silk lavender
shirt"
He was the grand paradox
Ziegfeld was He'd squawk if
he was overcharged a dime on
a restaurant bill-and on his
way out he'd slip a scrub woman
a $40 bill.
Man of Contrasts
When he was preparing a new
Follies, he'd grab a cup of cof-
fee and a sandwich at a Forty
second Street Coffee Pot-but
when he went to Europe, he'd
take a supply of poultry with
him and give explicit instruc-
tions to the ships chef how to
cook it.
He went further perhaps than
any other producer in undraping
his chorus girls.
His stage women were puppets
to him-not flesh and blood.
Thousands stormed his office
every year pleading for a chance
to enter his Follies.
Often the critics ridiculed his
shows and limited that only their
lavishness prevented them from
being vulgar, even dirty. This
was the one thing which aroused
him, for he was proud of the
fact that he was a producer of
clean" shows.

Convict Eyewitness to the
Shooting of James DennsOn


Shooting of James DennsOn
STATE PRISON, RAIFORD,
Fla, July % GN.S).-I saw
the deliberate attempt to muir
der Jimmy Dennison near he-
nansville last January.
We were riding in truck
from Camp Al out to the road
job. Dennison was holding on
to my knees when he suddenly
stood up, said, "Let's CO." and
jumped off the truck.
He ran about 20 or 80 feet
when three guards fired at him.
He was hit in the leg and fell at
once. The shot broke his leg.
He lay there on the ground,
moaning with pain, because the
shot had smashed his leg ana
carried away some of the bone.
A guard, named Gafford, who
jumped off the truck, came back
to it, borrowed a .38 pistol from
another guard, and walked up to
Jimmy. The boy was lying on the
ground with his smashed leg
doubled up under him.
Then Shot in Back
The guard said to Jimmy:
'"YOu dirty -, you amt
dead yet?"
Then he took deliberate aim
and fired one shot at the boys
spine. 1t was cold-blooded az
tempt to murder.
The bullet hit a metal button
on Jimmy's belt and was de-
Elected, going in his back in
downward course, and coming QUO
through the fleshy part OF MS
body, as he lay there doubled up
in pain. It was only miracle
it didn't kill Jimmy.
This occurred the same day
B. B. Reynolds, Pensacola boy
was killed. He jumped from the
truck with Jimmy and another
bow, We couldn't see Reynolds
killed, because he.ran off the road
behind some palmetto trees. we
could hear the one guard shoot
ing. We did see him running
once, through the trees, and blood
was squirting from his arm. There
we're some more shots after that,
then we saw Stewart walk in be-
hind some trees and heard MN
fire one more shot.
This guard, Stewart, came out
to the road and said:
81 didn't want to kill Shorty
but l did want to kill that big
-. Now go and get him.
He meant he hadn't wanted to
kill Dennisop, but that he did
want to kill Reynolds, who was a
big fellow.
Stewart, by the way. was the
guard who shot Deninson IN the
leg. He aimed low, so, appar-
emily, he didn't really try to kill
him.
Autopsy Joke
The autopsy they held on Rey-
1lO1Go WdO q JOAS' A4AS SOAOAASA
the deputy sheriff, and another
man came out from Kenansville.
They ate with the captain and
walking boss, laughing and joking
all the while. They made a farce
of the inquest.
They didn't call a witness from
the truck, except the guards, who
saw the whole thing. They called
the killing Of Reynolds justifiable
homicide.
A trusty who dressed Reynolds
body told me that he was bleed
ing from the nose and mouth
seven hours after they called him
dead. Earl Ables and Charles Ter
rell, both prisoners, can verify
this.

S Ut H AFRICA
/. ADDS VOICE To
TRADE PLEA
Joins Canada and Australia
In Move; Ban on Goods
From Russia Sought
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

y
, OTTAWA, July % G.N.S.).
Another British dominion,
South Africa, joined up with
Canada and Australia today
in demanding preference for
dominion foodstuffs in the
British home market in ex-
change for greater favors to
British-manufactured goods in
dominion markets.
South Africa in the opening
session of the imperial economic
conference voiced a demand for
England's return to the gold
standard.
While the South African ap-
peal today for preference in the
British home market for her
foodstuffs was not couched in
such vigorous language as that
of Australia, the delegates never
theless made it clear that If the
mother country is to be granted
additional preferences in South
African markets, there must be
reciprocal action by the British
government.
Meat Trade Sought
With pointed significance, the
South Africans referred to the
fact that Great Britain buys only
about half her enormous impor-
tations of beef from empire
sources and tactfully suggested
that it might be well for the
mother country to place more OF
this trade with her dominions.
The South Africans suggested,
too, that Britain increase her i'm
portations of dominion mutton
and lamb up to 80 per cent OF
Britain's total requirements.
or Else," Says Bruce
Stanley Bruce, the Australian
leader, today came forth with a
blunt demand that Mother
Britain give her Dominion chill
dren protection on foodstuffS in
the English market-or else.
What the "else" might be, the
Australian statesman did not say
in so-many words, but he plainly
implied that unless this is done,
Australia may not be able to see
her way clear to continue and to
expand the preferences on British
manufactured products that Brit
ain so ardently desires.
Mr.. Bruce hoped that matters
would not reach such stage. But
he made it crystal clear that Aus
tralia, for one, is not going to con-
tinue to award preferential treat
ment to Britain'S goods unless
Britain, on her part, is willing to
make some concessions in the mat
ter of marketing Australian
meats, dairy products, and fruit
in the profitable English market,
which for years has been a free
market.
Demand Bars On Russia
Moreover, the Australian back
ed up in vigorous terms the de-
mand voiced by Premier Bennett
that the mother country do some
thing to curb the dumping" of
cheap Russian products in Brit
ish markets in competition with
Dominion produce.
Mr.: Bruce was emphatic in de-
claring that Australia, and for
that matter the rest of the Do
minionS, desire to trade with the
mother country above all others,
