JOHN SMITHS
 INDIAN LOVE
 STORY DOUBTED
Kansas Professor Joins
 Debunkers of Famed
 Pioneer

Lawrence, Kan-(UP)-Erne D. Tyler, professor of history at the University of Kansas here, has made a thorough study of the works of the defenders and the de- bunkers of the John Smith -Poca- hontas love story.
 Professor. Tyler takes the side of the debunkers. One of his pet hobbies is to ferret out the inac- curacies in American history.
 In an article recently he brand ed Captain Smith as a braggart and 8 martinet. The Pocahontas story, he maintained, was merely figment of the adventurer's im- agination.
 The article created quite 8 stir and two large American news papers took issue with him, offer ing what they considered to be proof of Smiths veracity
 Every school child knows the story of how Smith was saved from Chief Powhatan's tomahawk through the dramatic intervention of Pocahontas, pretty Indian prin- cess.
 The true fact of the case, &C., IAcording to Professor Tyler. was that Pocahontas virtually was kid naped in 1913 by Governor Argall of Virginia in order to compel Powhatan to hold peace. Pow hatan met all the demands but Po- cahontas was held captive for sev- eral years, he said. The consensus / of historians. Professor Tyler said. is that Smith "whooped up'' his exploits and romances in the books he wrote for the consumption of the Eng fish public. article, American Historical Liars," remarked, Smith was only overcome by the familiar journal. ist's desire to sell his books and he may have been an inventor of ] the process of saving something especially dreadful from the a. m. edition to be sold on the streets at 4 p. m."

SENATE MARKET PROBE WILL END
 FOR PRESENT
Many Revelations, Made and They Caused Presi= dent=Elect Roosevelt to Take Hand in If
BY LYLE c. WILSON United Press Stan Correspondent)

I Washington, Mar 3-Senatorial fear that resumption of the sen- ate stock market investigation l uation appeared likely today>to de- weeks.
 Hearings were adjourned yester- day after fortnight of revelations which led President-elect Roose- welt to suggest resignation of l Charles E Mitchell, chairman of | the National City bank of New York and the National City com pany. Hugh B. Baker, president of the company, resigned with l Mitchell.
 For the first time since a house committee brought J. P. Morgan and other capitalists here in the "Pujo Money Trust inquiry 20 years ago, the public was given a peek at the inside operation of large finan- cial institutions. The inquiry dis closed the story of Ivar Kreuger's spectacular crookedness at the eX- pense of American investors. Sam uel Insill, jr, son of the man who fled to Greece, told of securities fiotations which collapsed to leave many investors prostrate.
 Official of the National City or ganization were next. Stock of the bank fell from around $40 to $23 during the examinations by Ferd- inand Pecora, former New York prosecutor who was retained by the committe to lay bare the National City story.
 Pecora charged the bank and the company had joined to "baiP' the former out of $31, 100000 worth of questionable National City bank stock.
 Pecora revealed that long-sup- pressed opinion of one-time so- licitor general of the United States had held the National City bank and National City company set-up to be illegal. Existence of that opinion was hidden from the public for 21 years. The original. sub- mitted in August 1911 to George W. Wickersham, then attorney general. has vanished.

The Celebration
 in W0odbury
Date Fixed for March 25 in the Glebe House

Plans are practically completed for the celebration of the sesqui- centennial of the naming of Rev Dr Samuel Seabury to be the first bishop of the Episcopal church in America in the Glebe house in Woodbury. The ceremony will take place on March 25 in the same house at Il o'clock in the forenoon with a pageant at St Pauls church in the afternoon.
 The occasion will be an eventful day in the history of Woodbury. Dr Seabury was born in New London Nov 30, 1729. His name was one of the three put up at conference of clergy called in the Glebe house March 25, 1783. He sailed for Eng land to be consecrated, but was re- fused by the English bishops be- cause he would not take the oath of allegiance to the British crown. He was, however, confirmed by a group of non-juring Scottish bish- ops at Aberdeen, Nov IA, 1784.

constant. The case rates for about half Of the 20 years prior to 1920 indicated increases oyer the pre- |ceding years. while those for the other half represented decreases. In other words, diphtheria tends to occur in waves. 1t is noteworthy, however. that during the past twelve years, only one year, 1927, showed an increase in number of cases over the preceding year. Dur ing the latter part of 1892 the num- Der of cases reported suggested that another possible increase might be under way.
 In general, the rather remark able decline in diphtheria incidence during the past twelve years has followed intensive efforts for the of children against this disease. The lessened incidence of the disease should not be a sig nal for lessening efforts along this line. Babies become susceptible to diphtheria few months after birth and should be immunized. It is necessary to keep up this proce- dure if the incidence of the disease is to be kept low.

PANTS ARE NOW SAFE

Toledo, O-No more will pants fall to the demands of the much hated pants bandits. These two young men performed their usual formula, of robbing the cash regis ter and then making off with the proprietor's pants, on Russell Tay- Tor, restaurant owner. But his semi nude condition did not prevent Taylor from calling for help. He shook a slot machine for five min- utes until he managed to dislodge a nickel. with which he called po- lice. A short time later a radio car picked up the two men who con- fessed that they were the pants bandits.

Mrs. Hull Is Notable Capital Hostess
Wife Of Next Secretary Of State Also Is
 Active In Democratic Party Affairs
(By NEA service)

Washington.-The appointment of Senator Cordell Hull of Ten- nessee to be secretary of state in the Roosevelt cabinet is being hailed with delight by diplomatic diners-out.
 Mrs Hull, the former Frances Witz, of Staunton, Va, is recognized as one of the really notable host esses of the capital. She has not en- tertained recently, nor does she frequently preside at official func- tions, but her dinner parties are celebrated. Invitations are eagerly sought.
 In addition to their Tennessee home, the Hulls maintain a place near Staunton. Here the cuisine and mannerisms of the old Do- minion find expression at series of informal parties.
 Washington gourmets concede that the Hull entertainments- though not frequent-are real" affairs, at which quality rather than quantity is stressed.
 Mrs Hull proves a charming hostess-auiet, but with true con- yersational ability. She takes a keen interest in international poli- tics, and can discuss them tntelli- gently among diplomats and states men. Often she may be seen in the senate gallery following the de- bates with strained attention. When Senator Hull was member of the house, his wife used to cor rect his speeches and came almost daily to the capital.
 Mrs Hull herself has taken a role in democratic politics. She was one of the founders, with Mrs J. Borden Hartman, of the Wo- mans National Democratic club. She contributed largely to the va- rious projects of that organization and has devoted much time to their advancement.
 One of Mrs Hulps greatest assets is her boise. She also Is blessed with a sense of humor and has a retentive memory. Refined fea- lures, brown eyes, brown hair slightly touched with gray, a dig nified carriage all add to the pie ture of a woman of the world to whom the social graces come easily.
 Mistress of a considerable for tune, the wife of the new secretary will be able to entertain on a large scale. For years, she lived with her husband in the Lafayette hotel but recently moved to the Carlton, a change which friends interpret as the first step toward acquiring a private residence.

Screen Career.

MY Lips Betray," the screen attrac-
ton ct the Fox this week, will not be
listed among the greatest films OF the
year, but it offers an hour or so OF
pretty good entertainment, just the
same.
John Boles, who shares the starring
honors with Lillian Harvey, occasionally
shows that he can act as well as sing
and, in MY Lips Betray," he does just
that. His performance, on the whole,
is appreciably better than most of the
others he has turned in recently.
And Miss Harvey-well, now, there's
little lady who is well worth watch

better in my Lips Betray."
The picture is somewhat fanclful,
having to do with poor girl who,
through q c1ain Of unusual circum-
stances, becomes the bride Of king
but Miss Marvey's acting makes every
bit of it seem real. She gives to her
| portrayal a generous portion Of comedy
and an ample supply of pathos, as well.

The rumors finally reach the ears OF
