Big, Bad Dempsey
Attends Wedding,
KidnapS Bride

NEW YORK, Sept. 5 Q.N.SO.
Jack Dempsey, it appears, has
other talents besides puginstic
ability.
Shhh! It's kidnapping.
But don't get alarmed, whatever
abilities he has in this direction
are exercised only in fun.
Yesterday the eX-heavyWeight
champion was a witness at the
marriage of George M. Perry, an
official of the New York Yankees,
and Legoti E. Hoover, once Of the
Follies, in Bayonne, N. j.
Upon leaving the home Of Act
ing Recorder Griffin, where the
ceremony took place, Dempsey
suddenly gathered the bride into
his arms and pushed her into an
automobile.
Then he sped toward New York
while Perry, with a motorcycle po-
lice escort started In pursuit.
Dempsey insisted today that
Perry didn't catch up with him
until he reached New York, but
Perry maintains he overhauled
the abductor at Jersey City.
Anyhow the bold, bad Dempsey
gave up the gal.

WELLSBURG, w. Va, Sept. 5.
Sally Hunter, pretty Pitcairn, Pa,
school teacher, was Sonora Don
Manuel Crespo today-after what
almost amounted to an interna-
tional incident. She was married
to the Don, an attache of the
Ecquadorian Legation in Wash
ington, here last night, after an
impetuouS romance that started
at Rehoboth Beach, Del.
But when the two arrived in
Wellsburg in Sally's automobile,
there was a long delay. Miss
Nan Calderwood, deputy marriage
clerk, refused to issue a license.
She said she wasn't sure it was
legal for foreigner to be married
in West Virginia.
After an impatient hour Miss
Charlotte Calderwood, the clerk,
came home and issued the license.
The Rev. P. P. Hill, Baptist, did
the honorS, and Jack Pickford,
taxi man who was a star center
at West Liberty College, took the
senior and his sonora to their
honeymoon hotel.
From there, they were to go to
Washington, D. c., today.

ECONOMIC RULE
ISURGED

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 5
G.NS) Science in government
was the democracy saving" prin-
ciple Prof. John Dewey, of Colun-
bia University, laid before Savants
at the Harvard University Tercen-
tenary conference on arts and
sciences today.
Dewey, chief of contemporary
American philosophers, declared
scientific social control of eco
nomic individualiSm must be
established by democracies to
withstand the threat of dictator
ships.
The address was the keynote
speech Of the second week of the
conference, coming after mathe-
MATES, PHYSICISTS and astronomers
closed five days of scientific dis
cuSSion.
Liberties Surrendered
Failure of democracies to con-
troll economic ndividul a i m
brought the dicator threat, Dewey
said.
IndividualiSm which resiSts gov
ernmental control lis an exclusive
one-sided economic freedom that
has produced insecurity and con-
flict until people have been will
ing to surrender pretty nearly all
their freedom in order to get Sc
curity," Dewey said.
Wind-swept storms of fire rush
ing across the surface of the sun
were shown in motion pictures by
Prof. Heber D. Curtis, of the Uni
versity of Michigan, to the Ameri-
can Astronomical Society.
Storms News Reeled"
Discovered two weeks ago, the
fire storms were "neWs-reeled" at
the McMath-Hulber Observatory
at Lake Angelus, Mich.
The pictures showed the storms
sweeping across the sun at the
rate of 100 miles a second. They
also showed giant roman candles"
shooting fireballs 100000 miles into
the sky.
The fireballs, Prof. Curtis said,
were 1000 miles long and 200 to
800 miles thick.

yesterday on the Bremen denying
they were married but not that
they were going to be. They
talked freely about their engage

Brokaw, visited Paris with her
and escorted her to the Olympic
games.
Mrs. Brokaw said that it was
her ambition to either see her

Fonda said they would probably
be married here if she could stay

On Drought Tour

to suggest subtly that things
don't look as bad here as they did
several years ago-or I'm glad to
note things look better than when
I was here four years ago." Such
remarks seldom failed to get q
hand.
Until he crossed the Mississippi
on the return East and was well
out of the bad drought area, Mr..
Roosevelt refrained from even
mentioning the campaign or cleo
ton day.
Illinois Squabble
But there was a big political
gathering on the Missouri side
of the river at the dedication of
the Mark Twain bridge, and on
the Illinois side the President
found himself deeply immersed
in the political squabbles that
have divided the Illinois Democ-
racy.
At Springfield the President
took an active, If reluctant part,
in the effort to heal the wounds
remaining from the Democratic
primary in which the Kelly-Nash
machine in Chicago unSuccess-
fully tried to prevent the renomi-
nation Of Governor Henry D.
Homer.
He sat between Mayor Kelly and
Governor Horner at luncheon, and
later he entertained them both at
dinner aboard his car. How sue
cessful the mediatory efforts have
been remain to be seen, but Mayor
Kelly indicated a reapproachment
to the extent of a truce for the
national campaign. He said:
"It doesn't matter whether I
kiss Governor Horner or not.
He and are pulling together in
this campaign anyway, and
President Roosevelt will carry
Illinois"
Illinois Democrats Of all cali
bers were in Springfield for the
meeting.
President Roosevelt's train left
soon after midnight, and is due
in Indianapolis during the fore
noon.

Sterner Measures

though but lightly as compared
with States further west.
Pledges to Farmers
Mr.. Roosevelt left the heat-rid-
den Mississippi Valley and the
parched plains of the West with
three distinct commitments or
pledges:
/. To treat agriculture as a
broad national problem, the Su-
preme Courts assertion that
agriculture is essentially a local
matter, to the contrary notwith-
standing.
2. To see the drought suffer
erS of the plains and prairie
States through the winter by
the application of Federal aid.
8. To pursue program Of
long range planning. through
which the Federal Government
can mitigate the effects of such
natural calamities as the
droughts of 1884 and 1885.
Time and again during his
nearly two weeks on the road, in
public speeches from the rear
platform of his train and in con-
ferences with state governors, the
President has emphasized the ma
tional character of agriculture
not the local character assigned
to it by the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not men
toned the Supreme Court once by
name, but there has been no mis-
taking his emphatic dissent from
the courts philosophy that agri-
cultural production is essentially a
local business and thus outside the
purview of Federal treatment. He
told Wyoming cattle men:
"The point which think we
all ought to realize is that this
is a national picture"
He told Illinois grain growers:
1--WE have what has been
called an integrated economy,
an economy that ties in every
part of the nation The cOun-
try is becoming conscious Of
this. The country is becoming
natiOnalistic in the best sense Of
the word, and not in the ex-
elusive sense Of the word.
1--WE are all a part of one big
whole and we have got to stick
together"
To the drought-stricken States,
he left this pledge:
"There will be all through
this winter good many thou
sands of farmers, who, through
no fault of their own, will have
to have some kind of help. For
these people, the Government,
Federal and State, proposes to
see them through"
Mr.. Roosevelt insisted at the out
set of his trip that it was not a
political journey, and not in the
interests of his own campaign for
reelection. That campaign, he said,
would not start until late this
month or early Ocober.
In the main, the commitment of
mo holidays" has been carried out,
although the Republicans along
the way have complained, some
times with cauStic envy, that Mr..
Roosevelt has played the shrewdest
and most subtle kind of politics by
appearing in his official non.parti-
san capacity with a promise Of sue
cor to the needy and help for the
afflicted.
At no time during the nearly
two weeks, confronting countless
thousands, in audiences scattered
from Ohio to the Rockies, has the
President appealed for votes, or
mentioned the Republican party.
But he found numerous occasions

BEATEN AGAIN
AT run
Insurgents RecaPture
Bridge After Seizure
In Renewed Battle
BY LEE DICKSON

HENDAYE, France, Sept.
G.N.SO. -Spanish insurgents
scored another victory on the Irun
front today, beating back radical
militiamen who seized the bridge
head leading into France in a re-
neWal of furious warfare.
With the captured city of Irun
almost completely destroyed after
a night-long series of explosions,
and with their forces occupying
strategic positions throughout the
town, the insurgents carried the
bridgehead at noon in headlong
rush that climaXed six hours Of
fighting.
Tanks Complete Occupation
Planting the Carlist (monarch-
ist) flag on the Spanish end of
the international bridge, 300 in
surgents held the last govern
ment position there, while tanks
and armored cars completed
occupation of Irun proper.
After a night in which the
few remaining anarchists in the
flaming town completed its deS-
truction with dynamite, the last
loyalists were driven out before
the mechanical units today.
The majority of the leftist
militia took refuge in France,
but scores are hiding in fields
of tall corn, where shots are still
heard.
Bridge Guard Slain
I was with the 300 Carlists,
FaScists and royalists, in wildly
aSSorted uniforms, when they
took the bridgehead, killing the
last guard there, whom I had
known and who often gave me
news about the fighting.
The insurgents staged a war
dance on the bridge, crying viva
Espana!" while the radical de-
tenders who escaped the insur-
gent fire raced across the span
into French territory. There
the French soldiers forced them
to give up their arms and took
them to internment stations.
Everyone who failed to escape
from Irun was shot, and the heat
of the burning buildings in that
ruined city was so intense that it
was nearly impossible for the in
vading insurgents to stand in the
middle Of the streets.
The insurgents, it now appears,
intend to take San Sebastian and
Funterrabia in the same way.
Meanwhile they are awaiting fur
