COUNTESS LIKELY
TO Be PAROLED IN
'HUSHMONEY CASE.
Nearly Three Years Served
for Part in Tricking
School Teacher.
APPLICATION HEARD
BY BOARD ON FRIDAY
Appeal to Be Granted If and
When Suitable Plan Is Worked
Out, La Roe Hints.

The Countess Grace de Benque, who
has served nearly three years in jan
for her part in tricking an elderly
school teacher into paying more than
$4,000 hush money" probably will
be paroled in the near future, it was
learned today.
The Countess and George A.
Gormley were found guilty of the
larceny Of $4,000 from Miss Louise
Maret, 63-year-old co-proprietor Of
the fashionable Maret School for
Girls, by District Court jury in 1888.
Testimony at the trial showed that
Gormley, with the assistance of the
countess, won the confidence of Miss
Maret and then frightened her into
paying the money by leading her to
believe she was in danger of arrest
for improper conduct.
After her conviction, the countess
was given an indeterminate sentence
of from two to four years. After serv-
ing q months Of this sentence, she
attacked its validity on the ground
her offense was committed before the
tndeterminate sentence law was
passed, rendering the two or four
year sentence void.
Received New Sentence.
A Federal Judge in Norfolk. Va. be-
fore whom she had filed habeas
corpus proceeding, agreed with this
view and ordered her release Instead
af SaNr,rircy fraolNV, Lo
countess was brought back into the
local court and given a straight Is
month sentence last December 81.
She became eligible for parole after
serving third of this term.
Her application for parole was
heard Friday and Wilbur La Roe,
head of the parole board, indicated
today the board was disposed to
grant her petition if when a suitable
parole plan can be worked out.
During the trial of the case, the
Government introduced evidence that
Gormley took Miss Maret for a drive
into Maryland on the night of Octo-
ber 6, 1881, parking the car on a side
road, turning of the lights.
Arrested" for Parking.
A few moments later a pseudo po-
liceman walked up and arrested
them for parking in a car with the
lights off. When they returned to
Washington, according to the evil
dence, Gormley told Miss Maret he
could "fix" the case by paying the
supposed officer $4,000.
Fearing for the reputation of her
school, Miss Maret raised S5,044 and
turned it over to Gormley. The
Government contended that part of
the transaction was carried out in
the home OF the countess with her
knowledge.
Gormley was sentenced to serve
from four to eight years and also Sc
cured his release by attacking the
validity Of the sentence. The court
however, Immediately re-sentenced
him to straight term of eight years.

1txNI304NINOy VS. N<LtODCI
R.-A three-j judge Federal court
today upheld the constitutionality
of the Virginia milk and cream
act in denying the Highland
Farms Diary, Inc. and Luther w.
High an injunction restraining
the Milk Commission from enforc-
ing its regulations in the Alexan-
dria- Arlington market.
The Highland Farms Dairy today
defied the Federal Government to en-
force the milk marketing agreement
and announced 1t would not willingly
comply with its terms.
c. Y. Stephens, president Of the
dairy, which retails milk at 10 cents Q
quart through its own stores, declared
the scale Of producer prices established
by the agreement would bring High
land farmers less than they receive
under existing contracts.
I'VE have no intention Of taking
any legal action except to defend our
position in case suit should be brought
against US by the milk marketing
agreement administrator to force our
compliance" Stephens said.
Already. II of his producers in
Frederick County and Montgomery
County, Md, have filed suit IN Dis
trict Court to enjoin Secretary Wal
lace from enforcement.
Producers Get Fiat Rate.
They paid q nat rate from 70 to "A
cents o gallon, or $2.75 to $500 q
hundred pounds, according to the tes-
timony of . Highland marketing agent
before the July milk hearings at the
Department Of Agriculture.
The agreement sets minimunas Of
$2s2 and $500 per 100 pounds.
with premiums for high District
Health Department rating and butter
fat content above 40. Highland also
offers q butterfat differential.
"The milk producers supplying
Highland Farms Dairy are violently
opposed to any form Of milk Market
ing agreement" Stephens said in his
statement. They are entirely salts
fed with their present contracts and
price. They know what they will
receive for their milk before 1t leaves
the farm. They are confident that
they will receive less than they are
now receiving If they sell under the
terms of the milk marketing agree
ment."
Equitable Distribution Sought.
I'VE have been led to believe by the
Marketing Agreement Administration
that the milk marketing agreement
does not propose to increase the total
amount Of money paid to milk pro-
ducers In the washington milk shed,
but to make q more equitable distri-
button of this money to all milk pro-
ducers.
"Since our supply comes from Q
small number of high-type large pro-
ducers We are led to believe that they
will be penalized by this redistribu-
ton through the Washington milk
pool for the benefit of other pro-
ducers."
The pool is the method Of dividing
payments for milk used in the manu-
facture of ice cream, called Class II
milk. The money received by the
milk distributors for this class Is
pooled by the agreement admins
traitor.
Highland, however, insists that 1t
has no Glass II price. Its q nat
rate all the way through" according
to c. v. Dye. Frederick, Md, mar
keting agent for Highland. He has
said repeatedly that Highland buys
all its farmers produce.

Music
Luring'Em to
Heiqh-Ho

Something tells us there's to be
a hot time in the old town tonight
and the boys and girls that con-
Stitute the pulse beat of all local
night clubs have intimated they're
ready to handle the excess ener-
gies of Washingtonians in provid.
ing them with some fine shows for
the evening. Call it the old college
spirit, if you want, or the brisk
November air, but when folks are
rarin' to go, they cut loose all
restraint and go in for fun-loVing,
let-yourself-go hours.
The local night life stations are
always capable of providing
atmosphere for a party or series
of parties on such occasions where
folks Just get together, laugh,
dance, eat, drink, and are merry
Saturday night is truly the epitome
of relaxation when seen from
various cockeyed angles in differ
ent rendezvous, but one thing Is
coincidental to all placeS-fun and
fun alone is the Watchword.

So remembering that tonight'S
Saturday, let's take look around
and see what's up at some Of the
leading dine and dance centerS.
Apparently our appraisal OF Pete
Macias' fine rhumba and tango
renditions at the Heigh Ho have
excited and melted many dance
lovers to hear for themselves what
this Francois guy has been calling
swell stuff" for 10, all these past
weeks. Irv Levick, drummer leader
of the orchestral crew, cornered
behind Headwaiter Leo'S desk the
other dawning, confided to us
that requests for subtle rhythmS Of
the pampas and exotic Cuban
music have been the biggest items
of increase in the musical roper
toire.
An example of the popularity of
this distinctive style of music oc-
Cured the other night. One mild
hammered lad who wanted to hear
The Way You Look Tonight" was
almost mobbed by four otherwise
peaceful citizens who demanded
just one more playing of Say 'Si
ST."
The referee for the Anne
Sigman-Stanley Fields table ten
mis- matches at the ShOreham
Hotel ballroom, who calls out
the score in melOdic but stem
tOrian tones, is Harold Cum
mingS, baritone singer at the
current floor show. 1t was Har-
old, by the way, who did the
vocal recording of the Demo
cratic national committee theme
song, "Is 1t True What They
Say About ROOSevelt?" He also
sang at the Presidents brilliant
birthday ball at the Waldorf
