GU|NAN BEATEN,
WANTED LAUGH
ON THE DRYS
Night Club Queen Lived Only
to See Repeal Assured;
Life CoIorfuI, Restless
BY DOROTHY DUCAS

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 Q.N.S).
Mary Louise Cecilia Guinan, Of
Waco, Texas-who wore the crown
of queen of the night clubs with
the anthem: Hello, SuckerS!"-
is cheated by death Of the most
triumphant year Of her 40 years
of life.
She worked, and fought, and
kept her chin up through fame
and adversity-to be beaten by
one year.
For Texas, who started life as
a pretty cowgirl on a Texas ranch,
raced through a film career, three
marriages, and a series Of night
clubs which brought her wealth
and then took it away again, was
all set for a comeback" in this
year of repeal.
''Must Go On"
She died a year too soon to hail
the triumphant end of her rip
Snorting fight with prohibition
agents, whom she had goaded
with wise-cracks and beaten in
the Federal courts.
She died before she could cash
in on the wave of Mae Westian
taste in women, which would have
brought her back to public &C
claim.
She knew it. That's why she
said, from the hospital where
cI0n LOsoofhaI IanVs In
II can't go on with this pain,
but 1 must go on"
Those who knew Texas under
stood. She was always her own
best business manager.
An Unusual Type
The hard-boiled Texan who
wise-cracked with "butter-and-
egg men," Park Avenue playboyS.
travelling statesmen and literati
alike in her night clubs; the
blunt brash Texas who ruled her
night club troupe with an iron
hand and tipped them off when
they went out with wrong guys;
the witty and barbed-tongued
Texas who felt the iron fist of
the prohibition law at the top
of its strength and refused to go
down under it-thiS Texas will
be buried beneath the tombstone
of Mary Louise Cecilia. {
She talked very little about
her early days when she lived
there with her parents, Michael
and Bessie Duffy Guinan, whom
she brought to New York to live
with her in the Accompaniment
on West Eighth Street, as soon
as she had the dough-"
Had Three Husbands
She went to a girls school in
Waco, won a broncho-bucking
contest in Cheyenne. Wyo., in
1911, sang in a street show in
Los Angeles, did stunts" in the
wild-West movies, did one-night
stands with a vaudeville troupe.
and landed in 1922-already twice
married-in a New York night
club. Her first husband was Jack
Moynahan. a newspaper man.
Her second, was Julian johnson,
writer now living in California.
Her third-from whom she was
also divorced-was David Town
send.
Larry Fay, murdered taxicab
proprietor, was her hacker in the
night club world, and Nils T.
Granlund. Of radio fame, also
helped her get a start.
She had made and spent, rumor
says, as much as 100000 in one
year. She had very little left
when the great decline came.

BANK PROBERS
TOSUBPOENAE
EDSEL FORD
Senate Committee Expected
to Sift Manufacturers
Feud With Wall st.
By International News service

A dramatic story of Henry
Ford's long feud with bankers may
be aired at the Senate banking
inquiry through the calling of his
son, Edsel Ford, as a witness in
the probe of Detroit's banking
situation, it was reported today.
Members of the Senate Bank
ing Committee indicated Edsel
Ford would be subpoenaed to tell
what he knows about the collapse
of the Union Guardian and First
National banks in Detroit He
undoubtedly will be questioned,
too. about his fathers war on
New York bankers a decade ago,
when bankers tried to get control
Of the automobile manufacturers
business.
Arthur w. Cutten Called
The calling of Arthur w. CUT
ten, Chicago capitalist, also gave
rise to rumors that the stock
market inquiry might be ex-
tended to include commodity ex-
changes.
Gluten, who once was credited
with "cornering" the wheat mar
ket, has been regarded as an au-
thority on movements in the
commodity markets. He has the
experience to tell the committee
about recent trends in commodity
prices, even though he is called
as witness for a different pur-
pose.
Cutten and Harry F.. Sinclair.
the oil magnate, were subpoenaed
together to tell about a Syndi-
cate operation in Sinclair con-
solidated oil stock. Cutten, Sim
clair, Blair & Co., New York
brokers, the Chase Securities Cor
poration, and Albert H. Wiggin
split $l2,000,000 profit on this
deal.
Sinclair Arranged Sale
Sinclair, as president of the oil
corporation, arranged for the
sale Of 100000 shares Of new
stock to the syndicate at $50 a
share. Cutten managed the syn
dictate. which rolled up the stag
gering $12,O00,0OO profit by SELL
ing the stock at higher prices.
The syndicate dissolved a month
before Sinclair went to Jail here
to serve a six-monthS' sentence
for contempt Of the Senate.

went to a banking house where
she withdrew some securities and
had them redeemed. She also
said she cashed some checks for
small amounts of money and at
one brokerage house the countess
was made to endorse one Of the
checks.
Upon reaching the countess
home, Miss Marat continued, the
money was placed upon a table
and a portion of it was turned
over to Gormley.
The first witness at today's
session was Charles A. May, who
was cross-examined on his story
to the effect that he was paid
$3.50 by Gormley to pose as the
policeman on the night Gormley
and Miss Maret were arrested"

PLANNED
Purchase of Surplus Food for
Needy Will Take Place of
Flat Price-Fixinq
By International News Service

BY International News Service
Confident of the soundneSs of
the present farm relief program
but recognizing the discomfort in
the West, the Administration to-
day prepared to speed and ex-
pand its efforts to raise farm
prices.
While the Administration has
barred flat price fixing, the pro-
gram Of price pegging through
loans, milk agreements. and pur-
chase Of surplus food for the
needy was described by experts
as being directed to the same
end.
Wallace Stands Firm
Secretary OF Agriculture Wal
lace stood firm against price
fixing and joined with some OF
the experts in the department in
urging President Roosevelt to re-
ject the price-fixing program pre-
Sented here by farm State gov
errors.
The governors, who failed to
win over the Administration, were
told that "every possible effort" to
raise prices will be exerted, said
some experts of the Administra-
ton favoring price fixing.
Hundreds of millions Of dollars
will be spent in the next few
months by the AAA for the aid
of farmers through loans and
benefit payments.
Farmers will be able to get from
40 to so cents a buShel for corn
under the plan of basing the So
cent loan price on various points
in the corn belt instead Of on the
Chicago market.
To Rush Program
The corn-hog program will be
rushed, with Wallace hoping bene"
fit payments can be made by
January 1. Wallace will initiate
this $350,0O0,OOO program with a
speech in Des Moines-center Of
the farm strike-neXt Saturday.
Wheat benefit payments based
on acreage reduction will reach
$102, O0O, 900, it is estimated. The
Federal Relief Administration has
announced its intention to pur-
i. chase approximately 100000, 600
poutds-~of cured hog products,
and other purchases Of food for
the needy may be enlarged.
Governor Henry Morganthau.
IT., of the Credit Administration.
is engaged in recognizing some
land banks with a view to Hber-
alizing and speeding loans. The
Midwestern governors, while hold
ing the farm credit plan is not
liberal enough, declared it would
be Iberalized as far as the law
permits.

So Texas Guinan is dead!
She who added so much unto
the laughter Of the world has
sailed laughing down the last
