New York we started back West
and stopped off at Niagara Falls.
This was our biggest thrill on
the whole trip.
We went back to Cedar Rapids
and produced our own dramas
at stock company in Waterloo.
when the war broke out
and theaterS were closed be-
cause of the flu, we opened a
bakery shop in Cedar Rapids.
We made money at this but
had to give it up after the
war. Everyone in Cedar Rapids
still says, We may forget the
Cherry Sisters, but we will
never forget the bakery"
In 1928 Effie ran for mayor of
Cedar Rapids. She was elected
by 100 votes majority. But the
Gazette, one of the big papers
there, started a campaign that
she was elected as a joke and
the election was held void. Effie
now shopeS to run for Senator
from Iowa at the next election
and everyone in Iowa feels she
has a good chance to win. Her
platform will be Temperance.
We have never tasted liquor in
our lives.
What we have seen in New
York makes us feel that show
business has lost its fascination.
There are no more Fanny Daven-
ports or Carrie SCOTS.
We've always wanted to see
COney Island but never wanted
to go out IS years ago because
it was in the summer and we
did not want to see women in
bathing suits. Now that it is
winter, we will 90 out there next
week as we hear there are no
people on the beach.
We find on this visit that
women are drinking more than
the men. It was not 50 when
we were here before. A wo-
man had to sneak a drink. If
she was seen drinking she would
not be considered a lady.
We recall when Henry Ford Is
sued a statement he would quit
making cars if booze came back.
But it's back and he is still max
ing cars.
We are against women smoking
cigarettes in public and that is
all we have seen since we have
arrived. We feel it loses their
charm and makes them appear
too masculine.
When we finish our engage
ment at Bill Hardy's we will re-
turn to Cedar Rapids and con.
tinue our theatrical career. We
can always play around Iowa.
We refused to play Chicago be-
cause they wanted US to appear
with fan dancers and naked
women.
We have always featured
"Ta-ra-ra Boom De Ay." This is
the song that made us famous and
is our standby.
It was sure good to meet the old
timers at Bills, such as Joe
Howard, Mike Bernard, Nate
Busby, Billy Beard and the others
who were here when we played
Hammerstein's. We can't find
many of the old timers around. We
are so happy they will appear with
us.
We have written two novels.
"The Blacksmith's Daughter" and
"The Hermit's Daughter" Both
books have been considered for
publication for years.
People often ask us why we
have never married. We are both
too devoted to each other to con-
slider matrimOny and we could
never stand the shock Of being
dictated to by a man.

$341,574 ESTATE
|SLEFT BY R|TCH|E
Former Governors Holdings
Included S294,797 in
Securities.
Nv the Associated Press.

&9y tne ASSOClAtco EICso'
BALTIMORE. April 16.--The late
Albert C. Ritchie, former Governor OF
MARYLAND. left an estate of $34l, ,374,
of which 1858 900 was left to him by
his mother when she died several years
ago.
The appraisal of the estate was pre-
pared by his administrators, David G.
Winebrenner Sd and Robert G.. Cabell.
They submitted it yesterday to
Orphans Court here. The former Gov
ernor left no will and the property will
be distributed by the court.
The estate was nearly rs per cent
greater than had been expected. At
the time of Gov Ritchie's death friends
estimated that he was worth about
100000 The administrators said the
increase was due to the enhanced
value of securities left the former Gov
ernor by his mother.
The greater part of the estate
e4,797-was in securities. He had
$23,741 in the bank and $93 in cash
in his apartment. His tangible prop
erty was listed as $13,087. His family
home was valued at S4,500, and he
owned a ground rent worth $5,l54.
The late Governors law library was
worth $500, and his general library
5000. Rugs worth more than $4,000
were in his apartment, while wines
and liquors in his cellar were valued
at $500.
There were no State of Maryland
bonds among the former Governors
securities, but he held nearly $5o,ooC
of Federal Government securities. He
held large blocks of various tobacco
company stocks, some United States
Steel and some Baltimore Transit Co
bonds. Certificates of indebtedness OF
the Baltimore Trust Co, with a face
value of about $1,000, were among his
holdings.

RITTER VERDICT
WAS JUSTIFIED,
MINT0N HOLDS
Wholesome Effect on
Bench Predicted by Junior
State Senator.
BY DANIEL NJ. KIDNEY
Times STAFF Writer

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Sena-
tor Sherman Minton Cd, Ind.), who
helped to convict Federal Judge
Ritter by voting guilty" on the
final impeachment count of mis-
behavior" said today he thought
the effect on the bench would be
wholesome"
The jutting- jawed freshman"
Senator made the galleries gasp
when he barked out guilty on the
seventh charge in as forceful a
manner as he had reported mot
guilty" on the preceding six.
That vote gave the necessary
two-thirds for conviction, Sc to %.
1t was the first time In history
that a judge had been convicted by
the Senate on charges of general
misbehavior" that brought his court
into scandal and d:srepute."
Calls Verdict "Just"
eff the Senate has the power to
impeach on general misbehavior
charges" Senator Minton said, 1.-The
Ritter verdict certainly is just. How
ever, I could not support any of the
six specific charges against him On
the evidence before us"
while I think the specific crimes
were not proved, the judges con-
duct in the various instances was
such that he should be removed
from the BENCH" Senator Mintor
continued. Because of these things
one could not enter his court with
confidence.
There is a somewhat general
tendency for Federal judges to get
too cocky. Judge Ritter went be-
yond all bounds"
Critic of Supreme Court
Senator Minton has been a leader
in criticism of the Supreme Courts
divided opinions on the New Deal
An ardent supporter of Presideilt
Roosevelt, he admits he would like
a Federal judgeship.
AppIlScU VI 11OuSe Gdlk Cilde IpOP
Robert A. Green Cd, Fla), who
pioneered in the Ritter impeach-
ment, was being talked of for the
vacancy caused by Judge Ritter's
removal, Senator Minton said:
I'm against that. There has been
no politics n this case and so far
as I am concerned there never will
be in such matters"
