HARVARD SILENT
 ON HARD LIQUOR

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 13.- (UP).-Harvard University au- thorities have given no considera- ton to the problem of hard liquor control, it was said today.
 Officials said that the university's attitude would be largely dependent upon the action taken by the spec ial session of the Massachusetts legislateur which is noN devising liquor control legislation.
 Cambridge had long been mo license" city prior to prohibition and hence no liquor was sold on the campus. There was nothing to prevent thirsty students from inn porting liquor from Boston, just across the river, however.
 Even three-two beer is barred from university buildings because of the state law prohibiting it's sale to persons under 21~ Most Harvard students are under that age

SHAMEFUL SCENE OVER BURIAL OF
 'TEXAS'.CUINAN
Mob Seized Flowers From Casket and Fought Over
 Them at Cemetery

Mount Pleasant, N. Y, Nov 13.- OUP)-A mob of 2,000 persons, fighting and clawing for flowers from Texas Guinan's casket, left at least a dozen injured in what officials to-day called the most shameful and disrespectful scene that ever occurred in Westchester county" The riot occurred at the Gate of Heaven cemetery when the body of the night club hostess was being placed in O receiving vault, The milling crowd stripped floral offerings from the casket and de- nuded three motor cars carrying flowers. A small police guard was swept aside. One man seized q wreath from the coffin and was bearing it triumphantly aloft when he was besieged by hundreds near by. All fought for a bit of the wreath and it was torn into many pieces. That incident turned the milling crowd into a mob, with every person struggling to get a souvenir.
 Men and women were knocked down and brushed aside as the mob surged toward the receiving vault. The funeral service was ended abruptly by screams and yells. The fight to get flowers continued until there was not spray or wreath remaining. Hours before the cor tege was scheduled to arrive at the Gate of Heaven cemetery a large crowd had assembled. Many per- sons climbed on tom bstones and monuments to get better view. Others climbed to. the roof of the receiving vault.
 The crowd broke into a hushed cheer as the hearse passed through the cemetery gate. As the casket was removed, hundreds surged for ward. The way was blocked and the procession was forced to halt. Finally a way was cleared for the pallbearers and members of the family and the casket was carried into the vault. It was then that the riot started. Five of the in- jured were passengers in motor car which collided with three other machines during the melee.

 That decision attracted world wide attention. Calls for copies came from distant countries. Now, with an emergency test case before it such as the Minnesota mortgage moratorium, a clear cut challenge to old judicial theories, Brandies' words resound like a prophecy.

 Hollywood. Nov. 13.-(UP) - Mary McCormic and her estranged husband, Serge Mdivani, planned to take their, domestic difficulties into court today.
 The opera singer was to appear as defendant in a divorce suit flied several weeks ago by Mdivani as q counter-suit to her action for sep aratc maintenance. Both charge cruelty.
 They were married April 2, 1931. Any overtures for a reconcilia- ton between Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks will have to come from Fairbanks, it was re- ported today.
 Miss Pickford denied calling her estranged husband over the trans Atlantic telephone to discuss a pos sible patch-up. The actress said she knew nothing of his plans to re- turn to Hollywood after he com pletes a picture he is making in England.

I$lOO, 100000 IS
 SUM SOUGHT BY | STOCKHOLDERS
And One Single Word in Record May Aid Suit : Against Chase Bank
By LYLE c. WILSON United Press Staff COrrespOndcnt)

Washington, Nov 13-(UP)- Possession of millions of dollars perhaps $10O,0OO, ,00O-may depend in part on a, single word in the rec ord of the senate investigation of the Chase National bank, it ap- peared today in connection with stockholders suit filed in New York against officers and directors of the institution.
 Albert H. Wiggin and 135 direc- tors of the bank were named de- fendants in a $100,000,000 suit filed by attorneys who said they were acting for bank stockholders. Wig gins boom time banking expanded the number of Chase stockholders from 2,189 in 1921. to well over 89,O00 when he was forced to re- tire at $100,000 a year by John D. Rockefeller, Jr, who owns the larg- est single block of the banks s shares.
 protest against policies which cre- ated cash and paper loss of $120, 0,138,075.8 in the Chase Secur- tiles corporation, an investment bank created by Wiggin in 1917, as an affiliate of the Chase National bank. But there is substantial cause to believe that when Win throp w. Aldrich, acting for the Rockefellers, compelled Wiggin to quit December 31, 1881, neither the worlds richest family nor the de. posed bankers associates knew the extent or nature of his personal market operations.
 Aldrich stormed to the commit tee table when Wiggin's short sales and profits were revealed a fort night ago. Standing two feet from the older man whom he had SUD- planted in the worlds largest bank. Aldrich repudiated his methods.
 In a hot and extemporaneous statement he promised the com mittee and the public that so long as he remained in the bank there would be no "artificial' markets in it's stock.
 Reporters. the committee and Aldrich himself were startled by the use of the word. He asked im- mediately for permission to amend his statement but the word had been uttered and was on it's way to the press of the country. His use of that language probably will fig ure in the suit filed in New York, may influence it's outcome.
 The committees inquiry into film corporation stock activities will re- sume tomorrow. Hairy F. Sinclair, oil magnate is expected to testify this week.
