VERY JEALOUS

Speaking in a voice broken with
grief, Henry j. Hoey told a re-
porter today that Henry H. Rog-

tate in Pennsylvania Hoey's
pretty show girl daughter, Eve
lyn Hoey, was found shot to
death today, was very jealous" ="
His voice quivering as he
spoke of his daughter, Hoey re-
lated:
"She had chosen the stage
as her life'S career. She made
her first appearance when she
was 10 years old. Her only
training had been in dancing,
but she had natural talent that
gained her success"
Hoey then told of receiving let
ters from the blond beauty in
which she declared that Rogers
was "a very nice young man
but very temperamental."
"That was the reason we (he
and his wife) objected to their
acquaintance. Rogers was very
jealous of her. Otherwise he
was a nice young man. had

she hoped to reach New York

NEW YORK, Sept. IL 0.NS).
The career of Evelyn Hoey, show
girl-who was found shot to death
on the Pennsylvania farm Of
Henry Huddleston Rogers, jr.-
was like that Of a Cinderella tale
up to the ending.
Then tragedy stamped the story
with its bitter pattern.
Her advent into the theater was
the kind girls dream about but
seldom know.
Six or seven years ago she came
to New York from Minneapolis
with her mother. Left to herself
one day she wandered into a cast
ing office, "just to see one"
Within an hour she was on her
way to rehearsal of a road COM
pany of the Greenwich Village
Follies."
For two seasons she toured with
the show and its subsequent edi-
tions. Then came an engagement
in Gene Bucks yours Truly"
And at the end of that run she
was signed for a London season
in the musical comedy Good

When that show closed in Lon
don she did not return to the

EUROPEAN
DISPUTE
Present Crisis Held
Gravest Since
World War

said the British move was a very
interesting, able, and timely ap-
peal for peace.
Mr.. Hull added, in response to
questions by correspondents, that
this Government was giving every
possible attention to conditions
and developments with a view to
not overlooking the slightest op-
portunity to cooperate in every
way deemed practicable, in the
light Of American policies, for the
preservation of peace.
He explained, however, that the
State Department was not at pres
ent in communication with any
other government concerning the
European question, but rather was
watching the situation.
Mr.. Hull declined any further
comment on the European situa-
tion with the plea that it was too
delicate for off-hand discussion by
officials of this Government.
American officials privately
took a grave view of the situation
that has developed in Europe as a
result of Italy's threat to build
an empire in Africa in defiance
of the League of Nations.
The view prevailed in some
quarters that insofar as the fu-
ture peace of Europe was con-
cerned, it looked at the moment
as though it was case of "heads,
war wins and tails, peace loses"
If members Of the League are
courageous enough to accept Bri-
tain's challenge against Italy, it
was feared Premier Mussolini
would provoke another European
war.
If Europe fails to check the
italian dictator, the League was
seen doomed with a return to the
old order of military alliances and
ultimate war.

DEPUTY SLAIN
IN MEXICAN
CHAMBER
SO Shots Are Fired in
Wild Session; Minority
Brings In Gunmen

MEXICO CITY, Sept. IL
G.N.SJ.-One deputy was dead
today and three others lay
wounded following dramatic gun
fight in the Mexican Chamber Of
Deputies. More than so shots
were fired amid wild scenes as
the deputies settled a debate BY
resort to arms.
The dead deputy was Manuel
Martinez Veladez of the state Of
Jalisco, who was riddled with bull
lets while trying to draw his own
pistol. The wounded were Depu-
ties Praxedes Balboa, of Tamau-
lipas, Luis Mendez of Guiana
juato, and Mariana Vertez of
Oaxaca.
Gunmen who occupied seats in
the galleries and stood at the
doors, where they allegedly gath
cred in support of minority
bloc, were said to have started
the shooting, which climaxed a
wild argument in the chamber
over a proposal to appropriate
5000 pesos for each deputy for
passing the legislative program of
President CardenaS.
The deputies met in extraordi-
nary session to debate the Presi-
dents recent refusal to allow the
money to be appropriated. The
bonuses to the deputies and sena-
tors, If passed, would cost Mexico
100000 pesos. Deputy Luis
Moratovar, leader of the majority
bloc, said:
1--WE voted to stand by Presi-
dent CardenaS. This angered
minority elements, who sent for
the gunner. They shot to make
an uprOar and intimidate the
majority"

Mexican Cavalry Sent
To Disperse Rebels

MAGDALINA, Mexico, Sept. IL

bering approximately 5000 men,
were moving on Pitiquiro, 118 kilo-
meters west of here, today in an
effort to scatter armed revolution
ary forces reported concentrating
there.
The exact number of revolution
aries gathered at Pitiquiro and at
Villa Ell Trio. 40 kilometers south
of Pitiquiro is not known, but is
reported in excess of 1000.
Indians Cause Fear
Fear was expressed by Federal
authorities here that Yaqui In
dians might join the present move
ment, and such a coalition would
give the revolutionary forces q
force vastly superior to any Fed
eral troops which could be brought
against them Immediately.
Federal agencies here reported
the seizure of several thousand
rounds of ammunition, and the
killing of two asserted rebels near
Alter.
At the same time 1t was an
nounced that army airplanes sta
toned at Juarez and at other So.

ordered in readiness to take off

Border patrols also were Or
dered strengthened, following re.
ports that political exiles had
slipped into Mexic in the last
few weeks from the United
States taking with them large
quantities of war supplies.

France Backs Britain
In Ethiopian Dispute

GENEVA, Sept. IL UN.SD.
France will follow the example of
Great Britain and support the
League of Nations to the limit in
the Italo- Ethiopian dispute, Pre-
mier Pierre Laval let it be known
today.
A Semi-official spokesman for
NJ. Laval said France would do
her full duty by the League. This
statement was made in reply to
articles in the French press as
Serting that France would never
consent to applications of sane
tionS against Italy.
In view of the delicacy of the
negotiations here, it was ex-
planned, M. Laval did not wish to
deny the articles officially, since
he Is scheduled to speak before
the League Assembly tomorrow
and the committee of five this
afternoon.
It was expected the assembly's
general discussion would be
finished by Saturday, after which
the League Council is to get down
to the Italo-Ethiopian matter in
earnest.
DR.. De Graeff, Dutch Foreign
Minister. told the assembly the
spirit of the league was much en-
feebled" at present.
Criticizing the League for it's
failure to achieve military and
economic disarmament, he de-
clared:
"The problem Of peace is
posed with a gravity hitherto
unknown.
Holland is firmly attached
to her Independent policy. but
realizes the advantages Of col
lective security, and recent
events do not modify that be-
lief"
He said that everyone must as
sumo responsibilities at the pres.
ent grave moment. This was in.
terpreted as meaning Holland will
adhere to her League obligations.
Premier Van iceland of Belgium
said the League could count on
his country's full support. He
was applauded when he recalled
Belgium's fidelity to pledges in
the past.
Swedish Foreign Minister Sand
Ter said he regretted the League
Council had not shown more en-.
ergy regarding the Italo-E Ethiopian
conflict, but added that he hoped
it would reach a solution in con-
formity with League principles.
He warned against a solution
obtained under force at the ex-
pense Of justice.
With regard to the italian
memorandum which was offered
as an indictment" of Ethiopia,
he said that charges of slavery
in that country should be thor
oughly Sifted.

F. GlisSon said.
The young actress body, fully
clothed, was found in a pool Of
blood in Rogers upstairs bedroom.
In the room were two pistols, one
of which had fired the fatal bull
let, and a shotgun. Only one Of
the weapons had been discharged.
The shooting took place, accord
ing to Claude Batten, Lyndell
farmer, while he was talking to
Rogers downstairs on a business
matter.
Rogers and the girl, Batten
said, quarreled bitterly short
time before. The girl, shouting
she was through" told Rogers
she was returning to New York.
Ripped Wires Away
Rogers, police learned, refused
to give the girl money for the
trip and, in a furious attempt to
prevent her communicating with
New York friends, ripped away
the telephone wires from the out
side Of the house.
Hearing the shot, police said
they learned, Rogers rushed up
stairs. Then he came down, to
where Kelly waited in the living
room, and ordered his chauffeur
to summon help.
The chauffeur drove four miles
to the nearest telephone and noti-
fled Chief of Police Gltsson and
DR.. Thomas Richmond. Glisson
and Deputy Coroner Cox left at
once for the farm. Chief Glisson
said:
"When I got there two men
were steadying Rogers, holding
him up on the lawn outside the
house. The only person in the
house at the time was the dead
girl.
Rogers couldn't talk intel
ligently. Francis Grub,
Chester county detective, ar.
rived shortly afterward and we
went in the house and found
the girls body. She was lying
partly on her back and partly
on her side. The bullet entered
over the left eye and came out
the back Of her head, imbedding
itself in the WALL"
THEY QUARRELED
The room, GliSSon said, was dis
ordered, the furniture showed out
Of place and the bed in disarray.
Miss Hoey was clad in a green
suit, lace waist, light stockings
and black shoes.
Rogers and the girl, Glisson
said, went to New York early this
week and returned with Kelley,
who is a movie cameraman and
has a studio in New York city.
Besides these three, those present
at the farmhouse at the time of
the shooting were Batten, the
chauffeur and a Japanese cook.
Batten, employed on the farm
at times, said he had gone to the
house to talk about the shooting
Of several dogs, ordered destroyed
