Dill Asks Diporce, Charging
Suffragist Wife Embarrassing g

"Love at first sight" turned into
case of blurred vision yesterday, when
former Senator Clarence c. Dill OF
Washington filed a divorce suit in
Spokane against the erstwhile Gen
eral" Rosalie Gardiner Jones of New
York, women's rights advocate.
In asking the court to dissolve his
nine-year- marriage, Dill, accord
ing to an Associated Press dispatch,
charged cruelty. alleging that his wife
embarrassed him by wearing filthy"
clothing and burying dead dogs and
garbage In the yard of their Spokane
mansion.
Mrs. Dill, who once wrote cook
book featuring favorite recipes OF off,
cial wives in the Capital. also is ac-
cllsed Of refusing to serve food enough
for guests, offending labor when the
Senator needed its support for re-
election, and finally leaving him.
The romance between the legislator
and the suffragist leader started here
in 1924, when General" Rosalie ap-
peared at the Capitol in the interest
Of a peace movement.
She raked the Senator over the Goals
for his evasive answers to questions
put by 0 group Of women, and when
he tried to make her angrier, she left
his office in q hun.
Shortly afterward, Dill succeeded
in locating her. and, with the aid Of
friends. they were formally introduced.
Three years later, March Is, 1927.
they were married at a private cere-
mony at Cold Springs Harbor, N. Y.
In the Episcopal marriage ceremony
the word "obey" was omitted. the
bride refusing to become an echo"
to her husband. Gen" Rosalie also
became a Lucy Stoner and retained
her maiden name.
She became Mrs. Dill socially, but
was Miss Jones in the conduct of her
business interests. which ranged from
suffrage to management Of chicken
farm and q 100000 estate left to
her and two brothers by their father,
DR.. Oliver Livingston Jones.
Residence in Capital.
The Dills maintained residences In
New York, Spokane and the District,
their last home here being In the La
Sale Apartments, 1923 Connecticut
avenue.
Mrs. Dill, who gained the sobriquet
General" In 1912, when she led srlf-
fragists to Albany over snow-covered
roads to present q petition for wom-
ems suffrage to the Governor, was q
woman of varied interests. !
In his complaint. however. Dill
charges her with "inhuman treat
ment" and "personal indisnities."

glad to note that Mrs. Huey Long has
been voting on their side. Also they
think it Is interesting that Huey,s

sidekick, Senator Overton.
The prospect of relief appropria-
tions was summed up accurately by

PRIVATE PENSION
PARLEY CONTINUED
Clark Agrees to Compromise
for Taxes to Be Re.
bated to Firms.
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

Although a joint congressional sub
committee failed to reach an agree
ment in a two-hour discussion last
night Of the new plan that has been
proposed to preserve private pension
systems in industry, in connection
with the Federal retirement plan,
Chairman King called another meet
ing for Saturday morning.
The fact that the members Of
the House and Senate arranged to
resume deliberations later this week
was taken as an indication they are
still hopeful of working out some
compromise on which an agreement
can be reached.
The new proposal. which came to
light yesterday shortly before the meet
ing, calls for payment Of the pay roll
taxes to the Government by all In
dustries, with authority vested In
the Social Security Board to make
q repayment in the form Of q grant
to industries operating approved pri-
vate pension systems. These grants
would be based on the extent to
which the private plans relieve the
Government system.
Obstacle Believed Overcome.
The original Clark amendment,
which the Senate tried to have made
a part of the social security law last
year, would have exempted employers
and employees from the Federal pay
roll taxes in any industry which
operated a pension system at least
equal in benefits to the Federal plan.
The new proposition, which was
discussed last night as a possible
basis for compromise. would eliminate
the objection that the exemptions from
the taxes in the original Clark amend
ment would have weakened the legal.
ity Of the social security law.
Senator Clark, Democrat. Of Mis-
souri,. author of the original amend
ment, said last night he Is IN favor
of the new plan. and expressed hope
that some agreement will be reached.
Taxes Begin in 1887.
The taxes under the Federal plan
will not start until next January, so
that there is still time to work out
a private pension amendment be-
fore this session adjourns, If the
subcommittee can agree on a solu-
ton. These taxes will start at per
cent from the employe and per cent
from the employer. The rates viii
advance gradually every third year
until each reaches q maximum Of
8 per cent In 1949 and thereafter.
Benefits will start in 1912 to employees
retiring at the age of IS.
It has been estimated that there
are at least 100000 workers in in
dustry already covered by private
systems, voluntarily established over
q long period of years. Many Of these
workers have been employed for ex-
tended periods Of service, and the
purpose in creating the joint congress
sional committee was to find q way
to encourage preservation Of those
plans. Some members Of the Senate
have regarded it as particularly i'm
portant to preserve the private plans
for the time being, in view of the
possibility that the Federal program
might be held unconstitutional.

THREE ARRESTED
IN DEATH Of GIRL
Reported in Virginia Wom.

Finding Body on Road.
BY the Associated Press.

LYNCHBURG, Va. March 31.-In-
vestigation of the death early Sunday
Of Mrs Martha Greasy. 20, of Lynch
burg, resulted yesterday in Campbell
County authorities lodging charges of
murder against three young men. in
whose company the girl was alleged
to have been seen a short time before
her body was found on the hard sur
faced road near the corporate limits.
Murder charges were preferred
against A. F. Thompson, Is, Of Lynch
burg; Harold E. Woodbridge, %, and
Otis Woodbridge. 25, by James Thomp=
son, commemorative attorney Of
Campbell County.
The Woodbridge boys were released
on $1,000 bond each, posted by their
father, w. A. Woodbridge, but Thomp-
son was ordered held without bail.
Mr.. Thompson said a probe into
the circumstances surrounding the
girls death had brought to light evi-
dence sufficient to merit holding the
three men. He declined to reveal just
what evidence he had found.
Police said the three young men
have profeSsed their innocence of the
entire matter, Thompson being quoted
as saying he passed out" about mid
night Saturday and knew nothing
about what happened thereafter.
Mrs. Creasy's body was discovered
about 1870 am. Sunday on the Dan
vile road less than mile outside of
the city. 1t was lying well within the
path of automobiles.

car to obtain help. Fred o. Gallagher.

Probers Not Prepared.

Newsmen threw away their pencils
and snored at the first few Townsend
hearings. Special Examiner Sullivan
contented himself with developing
a great mass Of uninteresting technical
background on the history Of the
Townsend movement. He SHE'D away
from anything which would inspire
interest.
House committeeman explained OF
the record that they were holding
back their big sensations until the
groundwork is legally established. The
truth is they were not prepared.
Their investigators had not COM
pleted work at the time the hearings
opened. That is why the hearings
are now being strung out.
Hopeuer. if this is to be skill
fully conducted House ippestiga-
tion, it ,piH be the first tn many a
year. All the famous and infamous
Investigations haze been conducted
on the Senate side. House members
haze neper mastered the senatorial
technique. They haze not had the
training, for instance, OF Senator
Black, Who appears to hare been
ouertrained
A very prominent Republican is
complaining to friends that some Of
his mail lately has borne evidence of
having been opened before it reached
him. He is not among the second
string politicos who might be aroused
by slight suspicious for political pur-
poses.
A Republican lawyer in Washington
also has been murmuring about SINH
lar experiences.
No complaint has been made to
postal authorities. Probably none
will be. You may hear about the
matter officially in campaign
speech, however, before long.
Was Only Cylinder Working.
The Republicans lost more than a
research director when Bennett Cor
don died. He was known only to the
politicians because all his work was
performed for them. But
they will attest that in the period
when the Republican machine was
on five cylinders he was the
only one working.
