Semple McPherson-H Hutton, inter-
nationally known evangelist, was
sued for divorce here today by her
third husband, $50 pound David Z.
Hutton jr., an obscure choir singer
until his marriage
The portly singer accused Mrs.
McPherson-Hu of mental cruel
ty and recited a long list of as
serted cruelties based for the most
part on the evangelists recent ac-
tioES in Paris.
Hutton said that the publicity
that attended everything done by
Mrs Mcpherson Hutton led him to
file the suit. In the action he
charged that the evangelist per-
mitted intimate details of their
private life to be discussed pub
licly."
He claimed the widely known
head of Angelus temple caused him
great humiliation and embarrass-
ment by cabling him recently that
she was the mother of newly born

He also was humiliated, he said.

suggestion he ask for alimony, he
reported, but he did ask for di-

This promised interesting legal
complications because Hutton as

In discussing the matter of the
division of community property,
Hutton's complaint outlined that
previous to his marriage he earned

LEGISLATURE:
IN SESSION
Solons Face Week OF Hard
Work In Drafting Plans For
Taxation Program.
BY THOMAS b. MALARKEY

SACRAMENTO, July II. A
! staggering deficit now estimated
at $128, 100000, inevitable veto bat
ties, organized drives of various
state agencies for more money and
some new legislation, today con-
fronted California's 40 legislators
as they reassembled for their un-
precedented midsummer session.
| Veto conflicts will command the
legislative scene for the better part
! of two days. Governor Rolph dis
| approved one out of every 10 bills
passed in the spring session. Nine
! ty-nine vetoes come back to the le-
gislature for review.
! Major fights will develop over
vetoes of the $5,O00,000 state en-
ployees salary reduction bill; the
! oleomargarine tax measure; the
anti -joyriding act; three school
economy measures; county govern
mont bills and judges salary re-
! duction measures.
| The entire Los Angeles delegation
of 20 assemblymen has agreed to
vote for overriding all economy bill
vetoes. Assemblyman c. Don Field,
Los Angeles, author of the en-
pIoyees salary cut bill, said he would
request the legislature to repudiate
the governors disapproval.
| While the senate and assembly
are wrangling over vetoes, the in
terhouse committee of IA will con-
yene at p. m. and attempt to
complete its budget balancing tax
alton program.
| At its San Francisco meeting, the
committee tentatively agreed to a
212 per cent sales tax. But, it was
admitted last night, this may be
upped to per cent.
| Estimates OF the state board OF
equalization were, the average FAM
lily of four in California would pay
$2l 40 annually under 2 per cent
sales tax; $26.75 under a 2ls per
cent levy and $32.10 if 3 per cent
, tax is imposed.
May Raise Beer Tax
! The committees job this after
noon will be to definitely decide the
sales tax percentage and line up
additional taxes to bring the re-
venue up to the budget balancing
line.
A bewildering mass of supplement
tai taxes is under consideration.
| Latest is a levy on so-called medi-
cinal hard liquor dispensed through
out the state. Such a tax, 1t was
estimated, would bring several mil
! lions. Beer seems destined for an
other SOCK A drive was materially
ing today to boost the beer tax from
50 cents a barrel to one dollar.
Others which will be considered
by the committee include:
Dollar increase in the motor We
hicle license fee, $4,000,000; stock
! transfers tax, $1,325 900; amuse-
ments tax $6,000,000; gas, electric,
telephone and telegraph consumers
surcharge tax, $l0,O00,0OG; rever-
sion of unexpended appropriations
to the general fund, $750,o0O; and
others.
Without pay and compelled even
i to pay their own travelling expen-
ses legislators were anxious to clean
up their work quickly. They hope
to get their program through both
houses by the end of the week.

BERLIN, July II. W.H - The
shattered Wreckage of a plane and
two bodies lying among its streWn
mail sacks were found near Soldin,
Pomerania, today, writing another
tragic chapter III the history OF
transatlantic flying.
Authorities tentatively identified
the bodies as those of Stephen Da-
rius and Stanley Girenas, Lithuan-
ians. who left New York Saturday
morning on an ambitious project
to fly to Kovno, capital of Lithu-
ania.
Police expressed almost no doubt
of the identification, because OF
the market letters bearing the
names of the flyers, and other evi-
dence of their origin.
The plane was found in the woods
five miles from Soldin. From scat
tered reports which came IN dur
ing the night, the unlucky pair OF
flyers had wandered about in the
darkness, unable to find a landing
ing place, until they eventually
crashed, either from motor trouble
or because their gasoline had given
out.
The flight had seemed ill-starred
from the start. Taking off with
semi-secrecy from New York, be-
cause they lacked authorization. the
Lithuanians almost cracked up at
the take-off.
They managed to fly the Atlantic,
but fog. darkness and perhaps lack
of sufficient navigating facilities
caused them to be lost almost within
reach of their goal.

We have seen that the similar

most entirely with the processes
of getting food and reproducing

types these functions were carri-

Food came mainly from the sur

by a process of absorption. Re-
production as a process, was very
simple. 1t consisted in the adult
dividing and producing two where
there was only one before.

ify at the Palo Alto meet by a
few inches.
Dues has held the Michigan A..
A. u. indoor and outdoor champ

past three years. He is considered
the best shot putter ever devel-
oped in the state.
Dus was also a member of the
football squad for three years,
playing a guard position.
John Lewis was the first Negro
ever to be elected to the captaincy
of City College track team. He
held that honor two years ago..
While a member of the City
College track team, Lewis was
able to gain points in the sprints,
the hurdles, and discus throw.
His ersatility practically placed
City College on the track map.
In 1928 Lewis won a berth on
the United States Olympic team
on the 1600-meters relay cam,
but did not compete in the games
He tried for a berth on the
1872 team in the 400-meters hur-
