1t was his fourth marriage. He
began courting his first wife, red
haired Nancy Carroll, when she was
a stage actress and he was a New
York newspaper reporter. One Of
the favorite legends on Broadway is
the Paul Revere ride he made through
blizzard in borrowed open car to
see Miss Carroll while she was ap-
pearing in a play at Atlantic City.
They were divorced in Mexico on
June 3. 1881, seven years exactly from
the day they were married A month
later to the day Miss Carroll was mar
lory, a wartime aviator and graduate
of the University of Michigan. Later
they were divorced and on August
3, 1885, Mallory married l6-year-old
Carlota Lobato in Mexico.
After Mr.. kirkland and Miss Car
roll were divorced he married Jayne
Shadduck, 18-vear-old movie actress
On December IA, 1886, he eloped to
Harrison. N. Y, with his third wife,
Screen Actress Julia Laird. Incl
dentally, Miss Shadduck. who also
is an avatrix, was married after her

And there just is no sense in being
married every Sunday to the same
man in the same town, she added.
The confusion started when it was
asserted that Mr. kirkland had OBJ

were married. 1t was heightened
when Justice Of the Peace Levi D.

Chind's 'Ne,u Deal That Failed
Discussed BY Museum Curator

"All these experiments were far
ahead of their time, and doomed to
failure Of the administration of such
vast enterprises was beyond the tech
nical ability Of the bureaucracy" he
added
Wang Mangs slavery reform had
the precedent of more than a CEN
tury of agitation by the social think
ers in China. The speech of one out
spoken minister in 48 BIC. has a de-
cidedly modern tone because of its
similarity to statements made today
to the debate between advocates of
work relief and the dole
This ancient Chinese orator said,
The government slaves, numbering
more than 100000, play and loaf and
waste time, while good citizens are
taxed to support them. 1t would be
better to free these slaves, making
them commoners, and feeding them
from the public granaries'

The Chinese field commanders dare

public of Armenia, on charges of kill
ing IL Bolshevists in 1920. Among

Souiet Charges Japan Sought

Mystery of Vanishing of

MOSCOW, April 2.-The Soviet
Russian government today protested
to Japan that the Japanese Charge
D'Affaires at Kabul, Afghanistan, at
tempted to enlist the new Soviet min
lister to Afghanistan as a japanese
spy.
K. A. Mikhailoff recently replaced
Boris Skvirsky as Soviet minister at
Kabul.
(Skvirsky, we'll known in the
United States as one of the first
Soviet diplomatic agents in Wash
ington, was not mentioned in the
December "a. 1887, announcement
Of Mikhailoff's appointment to the
post he formerly held.
CAT that time diplomatic circles
speculated on his fate, since his
removal was disclosed shortly after
the arrest and execution of
Vladimir Zukermann, foreign Office
department head, who was among
eight high Soviet officials to face
the firing squad for treason.)
Tass (Soviet news agency, accusing
the japanese diplomat Of "un-
precedented insolence," announced he
called on Mikhailoff and asked him
to become spy for the Japanese
government. Mikhailoff Indignantly
rejected the request and the japanese
Charge D'Affaires left in a great
confusion"
Simultaneously, japanese sources
said the Soviet government had re-
quested Japan to close three of it's
remaining six consulates in Russia bv
the end of April
Two of the consulates are located
at KhabaroVsk, which is headquarters
for the Far Eastern Red Army. and
Blagoveschensk, on the Siberian
Railroad near the Manchukuo frontier
The other Is at either Okla or Alex-
androvsk, on Sakhalin Island, off the
coast Of Siberia, where six japanese
recently were sentenced to death on
charges Of spying.
The japanese source said Soviet
authorities gave as their reason their
intention to close three Russian con-
sulates in Japan which they found
unnecessary.
Russia has consulates in the JAP
anese cities of Kobe, Nagasaki,
HaKodate, Tsuruga, Seoul and Darien.

ENGLAND MAY SIGN
ITALIAN PACT SOON
Success of Talks Within
Two Weeks Seen Despite
Chamberlain Foes.
By TIE Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
LONDON, April Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain earnest hope
for a British-Italian friendship pact
seemed near realization tonight.
Some informed diplomatic quarters
predicted a formal agreement would
be signed within two weeks to end the
strain that has existed on relations
between London and Rome since the
Ethiopian War of 1856.
Fresh InSurgent gains, meanwhile,
heightened the prospect Of an early
end to Spain's long civil war which
has been source Of irritation be-
tween Britain and Italy.
Chamberlain Opposed.
Chamberlain. driving hard for an
Italian agreement and for a speed-up
in Britain's vast rearmament, faces
still another opposition attack on his
Spanish policy next week
The Labor party planned to offer a
motion of censure in the House of
Commons Monday, again demanding
arms for the Spanish governmental
step the prime minister is determined
not to take-and also calling for q
general election.
But the strong wording OF the
motion apparently wrecked the pos
sibility of united opposition to the
government and caused even the
malcontent conservatives to rally be-
hind Chamberlain.
Sir Thomas Inskip, minister for CO.
ordination of defense, at the same
time, is to meet representatives of the
key engineering trade union to seek
its support in accelerating the rearma-
ment program.
Early Agreement Seen.
This union, one of the most vital
to the arms industry, wants guaran-
tees that any concessions it may make
in an emergency will not ieopardize
its members when a slack time comes
in arms manufacture
With reports of progress in the
negotiations in Rome between Britain
and Italy, diplomatic sources gave
three reasons for expecting an agree
ment by Easter. They were: The
scope of the talks has been reduced;
Premier Mussolini wants an agree
ment before Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler
goes to visit him in May, and the
British want the agreement before
the Today parliamentary recess at
Easter.
