Reckless Bettoy
Booted This One

Among those wise men" who
picked Max Schmeling to win last
night, and who today are bewailing
their recklessness IN backing their
opinion with money, is prominent
local resident, who shall be name
less here, but who conducts a busi-
ness directly across from fire head
quarters.
The individual would be named
except for a dirty crack made by
him regarding The Press editor,
when the latter was mentioned as
stakeholder for the bet which the
individual brought on himself by his
boasting of Schmeling's superiority
over a California product.
Such aSperSions upon our honesty
would result in a challenge to the
individual making them, except that
he is as big as the aircraft carrier
Lexington. He laid his bet on tie
line and promptly had it called by
the commander of Boyce Aten post,
American Legion.
BY reason Of the bet the COM
mander is five cents richer today,
the State street individual has been
shown to know as little about box
ing as he knows about fishing and
they used his wailing this morning
to send in that fire alarm when
big Bertha" was unable to func-
ton.

Screen Actress
Seeking DiUorce

LOS ANGELES, June 9. U.P)-
Mae Murray, famed blonde and Pc
tite screen actress, today filed suit
for divorce from Prince David
M 'Divani.
Miss Murray's main charge was
that the prince treated her with
extreme cruelty. This was especial
ly true in reference to social gath
erings, she maintained.
AS an instance of such treatment,
Miss Murray claimed that in late
1882 she invited IA guests to a
party and that the prince went to
his room and refused to come out
when he discovered that she had
failed to consult him about one of
the guests.
The other 13, she said, were in
vited only after the prince ap-
proved
His action at this party caused
her great embarrassment, Miss
Murray said.
Prince M'Divani is a member Of
titled Georgian family. A brother,
Serge, is the husband of Mary Nc
Cormic, grand opera singer. Serge
formerly was married to Pola Negri.
Still another brother, Alexis, soon
will marry Barbara Hutton, prom
inent socially and heiress to the
Woolworth millions.
Miss Murray and the prince once
before had troublei August 1881
when she filed suit for divorce. La
ter they reconciled their difficult
ties and the action was dropped.
Miss Murray and Prince M'Divani
were married in June 1926. Miss
Murray asked custody of her six
year-old son. No mention was made
of alimony or a property settle
ment.

CHAMBER To
ERECT HOME

Another improvement on State
street is assured with the announce
ment by H. w. Tyler, Jr., president
of the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce, that construction work on
the new chamber of commerce
building will start Immediately.
The new structure is to be erected
on the north side of State street in
the 900 block, just west of the tel
ephone building.
The new building, according to
H. r. Anderson, chairman of the
chamber building committee and
treasurer of the organization, is to
he of reinforced concrete, size 80
by go feet, with provision made for
further enlargement in the rear If
the need arises. The building,
which will adjoin the telephone
building, will conform exactly with
the front design of that building
and the arcade over the sidewalk
will also carry out the design of
that in front of the telephone
building.
The building, which is to cost
1865 when completed, is being fin
anced through a building fund of
the chamber of commerce which
was first inaugurated >about 10
years ago from money raised
through a public exhibition. This
fund has been carefully nurtured
by successive boards of directors
for the purpose of financing a
chamber building and it was felt
by Anderson and the board of di-
rectors that this was undoubtedly
the time to build while materials
are so low. 1t will provide twice
the space now available for the
chamber in its crowded, rented
quarters. Emory Girard has been
awarded the contract for the new
building and it is believed its con-
struction will stimulate further
building in the business section of
the city.
In addition to the offices of che
chamber staff, the new building
will have a large directors room
which will be available for meet
ings of various organizations and
civic groups of the city, according
to Tyler. Meetings of various kinds
are held almost nightly at cham
ber headquarters and there has
never been adequate space provided
in rented quarters for these COM
munity gatherings. 1t is planned
to have such space available in
the new building and Tyler states
that various organizations which
desire a meeting place will be free
to use the chamber headquarters
and in that way the new building
will be a true addition to the city
and a convenience to the citizens
of Ell Centre as a whole.

Washington. Feb. 1.-R-The first
prediction by . Democratic leader
that the next congress will approve
some sort Of currency initiation usher.
ed the house coinage committee Wed.
nesday into q detailed study Of pro-
posals to achieve expansion through
the monetization Of silver.
The forecaster was Bankhead Of
Alabama, one Of the witnesses sum-
moned before the committee to ten
how his bill for the purchase ana use
Of silver as monetary reserve would
work.
Bankhead said, as had other lead.
ers, that there was little hope that
the committee could conclude its
hearings this session In time to bring
q silver-expansion bill before the
house. But he added:
"These hearings will serve to crys-
tallize the steadily growing sentiment
for expanSion-oE call 1t initiation, II
you wish, that's what It. Is.
"Then when the new congress comes
along, with all the new members, we
will send an imitation bill to President
Roosevelt"
Roosevelt has said nothing about
his attitude toward initiation other
than to support the Democratic plat
form pledge for sound money.
Bankhead said the measure finally
approved likely would include two
phases, comprising the views Of two
rather well-defined initiation groups
In congress.
One phase Of the plan, he predict
ed, would monetize silver, permitting
the issuance Of legal tender certifi-
Gates against q reserve Of the metal
In the treasury; the other would au-
thorize q long-term bond issue at .
