CAR s PLACE
IS REST HOME

LENINGRAD, Aug. 2. W.D-
The last home of the Romanoff
family in their capital, the Alexan-
der Palace at TSarskoye Selo, soon
will be turned into a model "rest
home'' for deserving workmen.
For Is years the last imperial
home of Nicholas II has been in
tact. Now it has been decided to
convert it into a resort for factory
shock -brigadiers.
The rooms where Nicholas Ro-
manoff, the Empress Alexandra
Fioderovna, the black monk Ras-
putin and their friends played out
the final scenes of their tragic
lives. will hereafter be occupied by
the most energetic workmen and
workwomen from factories.
The first batch of proletarians
will live in the palace, according
to plans, on November 7.
AS far as possible, the decora-
tions on the palace walls, including
portraits of the TsarS by the most
famous Russian painters, will be
left undisturbed Possibly the last
Tsar's private room, and the i'm
perial couple IS bedroom, will be
retained as museums.
The imperial family left the
Alexander Palace in the night oi

Pennsylvania mayor who refused

In his capacity as chief patronage

not seen eye to eye.
On her Pennsylvania tour the

when she wanted to make a speech.
She went to the post office and
spoke from the steps on federal

she really appreciated the post

When Farley heard of her re-

could use any post office building

make a speech.

tention to the rapidity with which the
nation absorbed the $3.50 100000 worth
of treasury bonds offered for sale on
Monday
Almost as soon as the bonds were
placed on the counter they were snapped
up and taken by investors, so that those
who planned to think it over for while
were left out in the cold.
Investment houses got most of the
bonds, no doubt, but the fact that they
were taken up so quickly indicates that
Americans have not lost faith or conf
dence in their government and its ability
to meet its obligations.
In times when billions of dollars are
more or less common talk, $3.50, 100000
may not seem like large amount, but
it is not chicken feed, by any means.
The rapidity with which the bonds
were bought might also be used to drive
home the point that perhaps we are not
as hard up as we like to think We are.
Of course that statement is applied to
the nation and not to the individual. In

LORD |NvERCLYDE
GRANTED DIVORCE
Marriage to June Tripp Had
Already Been Dissolved
by Reno Decree.

BY the Associated Press.
EDINBURGH, Scotland, December
22.-The Court Of Session today grant
ed Lord Inverclyde, British shipping
magnate, a divorce from Lady 1nver-
clyde-the actress June Tripp.
Their wedding in 1929 was one OF
the outstanding social events of the
season, but the marriage was dissolved
at Reno, New, in 1881, when Lady In
verclyde was awarded a decree by de-
fault.
At that time she expressed the hope
Lord InverClyde would play the gen.
tIeman and divorce me in England, so
that cannot be prosecuted for bigamy
in my native land should remarry
and return there"
Reno DEGREES are not recognized in
Great Britain.
The petition on which Lord Inver-
clyde obtained his divorce was directed
against Lady Inverclyde and Mathew
Bartholomew Anthony Paanakker.
The ground of the action was alleged
inf1delity and the court was asked to
md the facts and circumstances and
qualifications proven relevant to infer
the defenders guilty Of adultery"
1t was stated in the petition that the
alleged misconduct occurred during
September and October of 1882 in
Lady Inverclyde'S fiat and also in
Paanakker's apartments in London.
Both Lady Inyerclyde and Paanakker
denied the allegations
Lord Inverclyde, travelling incognito.
went to the United States in Novem-
Der, 1928, after having been divorced
from Miss Olive Sainsbury, to whom he
was married in 1926.
Shortly after his arrival there the
actress-known on both the American
and English stage, as we'll as in Holly
wood-announced their engagement.
Lord Inverclyde became vastly wealthy
when he inherited S1O,000,O0O and in
terests in the shipping firm established
by his family. He served for time
as an officer in the Scots Guards.

This junta consisted Of Sergio

Ramon Grau San Martin, and
Porfiro Franco. The last named
is expected to be succeeded by
Carlos de Ia Tore, former presi
dent Of Havana University, who
was exiled by Machado.
New Police Chief
The first action Of the rebels
was to appoint former Lieut.
Emilio Laurent, one of the lead
ers of the 1881 rebellion against
Machado, as chief of police.
They then established the
junta and named a directing
board to handle government ex
penseS following the resignation
of De CeSpedes.
Any attempt by the government
to cope with the inSurrection at
it's inception would have been
doomed to immediate failure, as

behind the movement.
The revolutionaries met at
Camp Columbus, where Machado
was turned out of office during
the dramatic uprising just three
weeks ago, and there effected
plans for the movement and
named the revolutionary junta.
Followers of the movement were
posted at public buildings in the
place of regular troops and sol.
diers to prevent any disorders or
looting. The rebels said they were
determined to avoid bloodshed.
