fracture, which doctors said would
prove fatal Miss June Jones, l8,

riding at a rapid rate of speed
failed to negotiate curve on a
highway The girl was flung from
the machine. Doctors said at the
time that her death was a matter
of hours.
Later, authorities said they found
letters in which the girl wrote of
her love for Richard Arichard Nish-
imoto, a young japanese. She as
Sertedly wrote her intention to end
her life, as we'll as that of Nichi-
moto, because she was unhappy in

DUEL STAGED
BY FILM MEN

HOLLYWOOD, March 20. W.P)-
A report that two film celebrities
fought d duel in a barn "some-
where in Los AngeleS' engaged the
attention of authorities today.
The duel was said to have been
fought as the climax to an argu-
ment over the World war.
Only one character was named
in the rumor and he denied it flat
ly. 1t was Leroy Prinz. dance di-
rector. True it was that he exhib-
tied several scratches on his face,
arm and chest but whether they
were inflicted by razor, in an au-
tomobile crash or by fall from a
rocking chair, Prinz would not say.
"It was all in fun" he said, re-
ferring to the lacerations, and he
would say nothing more.
The report of duel was picked
up by one of District Attorney Bur-
on Fits watchdogs.
Blayney Matthews, chief investi-
gator, called on Prinz but learned
nothing more than reporters. Prinz
flatly denied violating any law.
Nevertheless, he was scheduled to
be questioned at further length at
the district attorneys office later
in the day.
"I haven't violated any law and
there is no proof that I did," the
dance director declared.
According to the rumor, the duel
was "'fought' several nights ago.
The purported principals, it seems,
had argued over who caused the
World war and decided to settle 1t
| their own way.

erstition that the rug on which
the marriage took place should
belong to the couple who under
went the solemn ceremony on it.
Commodore Hartley devised very
novel method Of presenting a rug
to each couple who were married
by him. and at the same time re-
tanning his own which did not
leave the ship, although many
couples believe even now that they
have it.
He also speaks Of the tradition
which insists that the ships butch
er take charge Of all dogs, not for
any reason except that the butcher
always has. And that calls forth
the story of the passenger who
insisted that a light be installed
near the cage where her dog was
kept SO that she might read to
it until it fell asleep each night.
Commodore Hartley does not be-
lieve the sea is the "old devil
which it has been called so many
times. He has known it for many
years, and he loves it. He says that
at times the sea may be cruel, but
at other times it is kind, and that
its interest to men is in its power
to bring out the complete delights
or sorrows Of man.
