HOLLYWOOD, January 11.-Of all
the women who loved him. only two
wept for John Gilbert today at his
funeral.
One was Marlene Dietrich. last to
be admired by handsome Jack and
his frequent companion.
The blond star was the last of some
40 motion picture people who came to
the tiny chapel. She hurried through
the chill and the drizzle of gray day
into the room where his body lay. Her
floral piece, spectacular star of gar
deniaS, lay at the head of the coffin
that held the idolized romantic actor.
The other who wept was-just q
woman.
Carried Bunch Of Violets.
She was plainly, even badly dressed.
Her thin black coat was slight pro-
lection against the damp wind. AS
she stood in the rain it hung about her
thin figure in folds. Her hat dropped.
Her battered shoes Squished water
from the cracks in them.

Pushing her way through the small
crowd, clotted on the lawn of the
mortuary chapel, she approached the
door. A policeman stopped her.
~'Sorry, miss, you can't go in less
you got card. Got a card?"
Only 40 famous movie people had
cards.
Maybe later" he said, more gently
So she stood there for an hour or
more, watching the limousines roll
smoothly to the curb, and the invited
mourners 60 in. First came Leatrice
Joy, second wife of Gilbert. Miss Joy
was in black, and so was her daughter,
IL, Claire Joy, born to her during
her marriage to him.
Virginia Bruce Comes Next.
Virginia Bruce. with her father and
brother, came next. Miss Bruce was
divorced from Gilbert two years ago.
Aileen Pringle, King vidor and John
Barrymore appeared, in rapid success
sion. Barrymore was alone. He strode
up the short walk briskiy, his hat was
cooked on one side. His hands were in
his pockets.

CHECKED
IN RACKET
INQUIRY

Centering their attention on
cases involved in affidavits given
by washington motorists who
claim they we're victims of a
police-bonding racket in Upper
Prince Georges county, auditors
and special assistant States
attorney today were checking
allegations made in the affidavits
against the bond and arrest
books used at the Hyattsville
station of the county police and
against the police court docket
which shows final disposition of
the cases.
Several thousand dollars which
should have gone to the State
treasury in fines and costs grow
ing out of alleged motor law
violations are believed to have
been withheld.
Checking On Fines
The auditors, one representing
a Baltimore firm of certified pub
lie accountants and the other
Walter Newrath, member of the
law firm of Cobb, Crouch and
Newrath, attorneys for the Key
stone Automobile Club, prime
movers in the campaign to end
the alleged racket, are tracing
the cases through their various
steps and are trying to learn
from the records where the
money went.
At the same time, the auditors
are drawing up an accounting sys-
tenn which they hope will be in
stalled by the county commission
ers which will make it impossible
to alter records of arrests, of
bonds posted and the final diSpoSi-
tion of cases.
Promises Action
Ogle Marbury, former assistant
attorney general of Maryland and
now assistant to Alan Bowie,
States Attorney, is working with
the auditors in preparing the evi-
dence for presentation to the
grand jury when it reconvenes the
first week of December.
Mr.. Marbury said all the charges
contained in the affidavits are be-
ing investigated and that the al
legations will be probed to the end
and that vigorous prosecution will
follow the finding of any indict-
mentS by the grand jury.

FRAUD CHARGE

(I.N.SO.-Indictment of IL of
Philadelphia's most widely known
bankers, attorneys and business
leaders as the climax of a six.
month Federal grand jury investi-
CATION today rocked this city'S
financial world.
The defendants, all of whom
were charged with using the mails
to defraud investors and of con-
spiracy to use the mails to de-
fraud, were released after posting
$4,000 bail each before United
States District Judge Oliver B.
Dickinson.
The indictments terminated the
special jury's long investigation of
the Philadelphia company for
guaranteeing mortgages, which
went into receivership in 1888. At
that time the company was re-
sponsible for a total of $132,000,-
900, most of which was lost.

ID. G. Cold Snap Just a Joke
To Two Civil Service Workers

employed at the Civil Service
Commission as a clerk in the cor

imately the same length of time
as Miss Kaline.
He received his education at
st. Boniface High School in Cold
Spring, and later attended bust
ness school in st. Cloud, Mimi,
as we'll as the Minnesota State
Normal School. Had he not en-
tered Government service he
would have chosen law as his
profession, and his excellent
background may yet see him as
one of the Governments legal
staff inasmuch as hundreds of
today's law students will be with
the Government in a legal capac-
ity at some future date.
In the meantLle he is among
those who are striving to make
top-notch honors in the work to
which they are assigned. When
not in office, and when his IA
vorite sports of golf and swim
ming are in season, he finds
ample opportunity in Washing
ton to enjoy them.

BALL0U SEXES
PAPERS FOR
RED STORIES

Action of local school authori-
ties in censoring the current is
sues Of two weekly magazines in
high school classes because they
contained articles dealing with
Communism, today revived specu-
lation over the possible action of
Congress during the coming seS-
sion on the controversial red
rider"
A bill to repeal the rider was
blocked during the closing days
OF the last session, principally
through filibustering efforts en-
ployed by Representative Tom
Blanton Cd, of Texas, author of
the original rider, who was de-
feated in the primary and will not
return to Congress.
SissOn Defeated
Representative Fred j. Sisson
CD, of New York, who led the
fight last session to repeal the
rider, announced at the conclu.
sion of that session that he would
renew his fight during the COM
ing session, but he, too, was de-
feated and will not be in Con-
gress during the next term.
Yesterday, Superintendent Of
Schools Frank w. Ballou ordered
the current issues of THE Weekly
News Review" and THE American
Observer" to be withheld from the
students because they contain
articles on The Theory and Prac.
tice Of Communism"
Prior Stories Passed
IN tie two previous issues, the
magazines to which students sub
scribed, contained articles explain
ing the democratic and fascist
form of government. Authorities
made no objection to the diStribu-
ton of these.
1t is believed that some mem
bers of Congress will hold that eX-
Guiding such articles as that con-
tanned in the current issue is
proper, while other members are
expected to oppose the withhold
ing of such information to the
school children.
Report From Hart
DR.. Ballou explained today that
his action in requesting that the
teachers not distribute the maya
zines" was taken after he had re-
ceived a report about the articles
in question from Charles Hart,
principal of Eastern High School.
Mr.. Hart brought the matter
to the attention of DR.. Ballou in
conformity with a recent memo
randum circulated to all school
teachers about a month ago in
which it was pointed out that, due
to publicity that had been given
to the magazines and other litera-
ture used in the public schools
during the past year, teachers
should exercise their judgment
as to what should be and what
should not be used in classes.
