'RED' JACKSON IS KILLED IN
 PLANE CRASH
Dashed to Death in View of Hundreds After
 Doing Stunts

MIAMI, Florida, Jan. 2. = Dale Red" Jackson, daredevil flier and co-holder of the worlds endurance flying record, plunged to death at the Municipal Airport yesterday afternoon in full view of hundreds of persons who were watching him do stunts in a small plane.
 Jackson was up about 5000 feet and had just completed an inside loop when the mortified spectators below, inspecting preparations for today's all-American air races, saw first one wing and then the other wing fall off.
 Jackson apparently had no time to use his parachute.
 In company with Forest O'Brine, he established an endurance record of CAT hours, 28 minutes and 30 seconds at St. Louis in August, 1930.

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 7-Julius Rosenwald, aged 69 years, who built up a fortune out of retail merchandising and gave more than $25 100000 in benefits to humanity, died yesterday at his home here as result of kidney and heart dis ease.
 Julius Rosenwald devoted many millions of the dollars which he amassed in business, to hammerlng at racial and creedal prejudices and to encouraging thrift.
 "The besetting sin of America is extravaganza" he said over and over again.
 His earning power started in 1873 when he pumped a church organ at Springfield, H., for five cents an hour. It eliminated in 1910 when he became head of the Chi cago mail order house of Sears, Roebuck & Company.
 He built up the business until tis annual turnover exceeded $500, ,O00,- 600 and it's branches could be found in almost any sizable town from coast to coast.
 In the interim he had been a newsboy in Springfield. a clothing store clerk in New York, shop keeper on Fifth Avenue and a manufacturer of mems clothing.

THOUSANDS OF UNEIPL OY ED STORM NATIONAL CAPITAL
Cro,on Alone Links British Empire Under
 Ne,u Dominion Freedom La,u Recently Passed
Bv PHILIP HEwITT-MYRING

Oy 4AG w n AVA \ VIVIAN VI
 LONDON, Jan. 7.-As @ result of the passage of the statute ot Westminster, King George, as king of Canada, may find himself agreeing to measures of which, as king of Ireland or Australia, he does not approve.
 This is only one of the extraor- dinary situations which, in theory at any rate, could arise from the statute, which grants legislative in- dependence to the dominionS. Britishers have been slow tc realize the full implications of this document.
 They knew, in a general way that the dominions have been free" from the mother country for some time. But the knowledge that this freedom now has the most solemn legal force has come as a shock to those who had not appreciated the profound changes that have been taking place in the empire structure.
 Dominions Independent
 The statute makes it clear that sentiment apart, the crown alone now links the empire together. Each separate member of the Brit ish commonwealth is a self-gov- erning nation free to make it's own laws and in no way bound to any that may be enacted in London.
 Moreover, each dominion may enter into any relations with a foreign power that it may desire, quite irrespective of the wishes of the commonwealth.
 The Irish Free State is express ly included among the dominions in the statute. Ireland's relations with Britain are, however, defined in the treaty signed in 1922 and registered at Geneva, as are all treaties between independent members of the League of Nations. Opponents of the statute argued in the House of Commons, that a clause should be inserted saying that Ireland's inclusion gave her no power to denounce the 1922 treaty.
 Government spokesmen answered that Ireland could denoupce the treaty just as well if she were not included in the statute as if she were, and that in any case she had no wish to go back on her solemn obligations.
 This point of view carried the day. and Ireland thus took her place among the free and indepen- dent nations forming the British commonwealth.
 See Conflicts Possible
 How a system, in which single king is advised" by the cabinets of half dozen different countries, will function is problem that is bothering students of constitution al affairs.
 It is generally agreed that the importance of the crown has been greatly increased by the statute which in itself is a noticeable re- versal of the trend of British his- tory for centuries past.
 Whether any two dominions will ever advise" the king to take two totally opposing courses, or will use the statute as means for break ing away from the empire, is a moot question among experts on basic laws.
 For the present, the English peo- pie as a whole believe that the measure was necessary and that, now they have won their freedom from British parliamentary control the dominions will be even more willing and contented members of the commonwealth than they were L

Albert w. Fox and A. A. Hoehling, at
torneys for Mrs. Mclean, pointed out
Mclean filed q divorce action a year
ago in Cuernavaca, State of Morelos,
Mexico. He was enjoined from pros

tutes an abandonment Of his Mexican
suit for divorce, which Mexican suit
has never been formally dismissed. AS
an essential element in his Mexican
divorce suit, Edward B. Mclean claimed
to be resident of Mexico. As an
essential element in his Latvian divorce
case he now claims to be a resident

Now, it is not open to argument
that there cannot be at the same time
Two such places Of residence 1t is the
law OF our physical existence that one
cannot be in two places at the same
time; and it Is equally a law of our
civil existence that there cannot be two

ing our fixed and permanent home
Appeal Held Frivolous.
THE courts of one State have no
inherent authority over the marriage
relation Of the citizens Of other States.
For II it be that one government in
virtue Of its authority over marriage
may dissolve the tie as to citizens Of
another government, other governments
would have q similar power and hence
the right of every government as to its
own citizens might be rendered nuga-
tory by the exercise Of the power which
every other government possessed"
The appellee characterized the appeal
as frivolous and said the court could
not consider it because it constituted
moot question. This position was sus-
tanned.

insisted there was nothing to show Nc
Lean claimed Latvia as his residence.
