The chief difference between the

is that the first man drinks in mod

man drinks In order to escape from

Mabel Travers of Baseball Fame Defendant in
 $l,OOO Suit

Mabel Travers, who was headlined as the outstanding girl baseball pitcher of her day, some years ago, leaped to prominence again yester- day, not in connection with base ball, but rather as an alleged fisti- cuff artist.
 Mabel appeared before Judge Ed ward J. Finn in the court of com mon pleas yesterday to defend her. self in a $l,00O civil action brought by Louise Scarvota. The latter charged that the former baseball star had assaulted and severely beat her at Dorans grill, East Main street, July IT of last year.
 Two black eyes, severe leg and arm bruises, and other injuries were resultant from the attack, accord ing to the plaintiff. Judge Finn re- served decision after hearing the evidence yesterday.
 Testimony offered was to the eff feet that Mabel, her sister Bessie, her brother Bert, and Miss Scar vota, were dining at the grill, when an argument arose, apparently over ownership of hat. Miss Scarvota was with Bert Travers. The argu- ment rose to fever heat, and finally Miss Scarvota and Miss Travers de- cided to 'go outside" and settle it.
 It was learned today that Miss Travers, who attracted statewide attention with her pitching and gen. eral ability as baseball player, is now working as domestic in New York.

Willimantic, Conn, March Q (UP)-The Rev. John M. Bellan, pastor of the Lutheran Slovak church of Stafford Springs was urged by an arbitration board to- day to resign by May flor the best interests of the congregation"
 Differences in opinion between the clergymen and his parishioners caused a breach which three times resulted ill a demand for his resig- nation. He refused and an arbitra- tion board was called to adjust the situation.
 The board reported that there was no question of the Rev. Bel lan's abilities or conduct, but that it was forced to the conclusion that little more tact on the pas tor might have been conductive to more harmony and friendship with in the congregation. We believe Rev. John M. Bellan worthy of the high office to which he has been called"
 The board proposed that the pas tor be given an opportunity to honorably resign" ,..iis suggestion, it was said, was agreeable to the clergyman, who became pastor eight years ago.

 When he passes on, his estate will have to pay inheritance taxes on some $15,0OO,000 worth of these objects unless he makes other dis poSal of them.
 "It is his intention to leave many to his family, to give liberally oI them to museums and to sell con- siderable part, in which case hi' family will have to pay inheritance taxes only on about $5,000,000 of art objects. That will be burd r (Continued on Page 4

Lire officials sent searching parties into the mountains where eight feet of snow covered the rough brush and rocks.

 Because of her report. the airline sent it's Fresno manager and other! of a search party by automobile tc the vicinity.
 The power house is about 40 miles north and east of Fresno and is at an altitude of 4,500 feet. On each side of the river mountain ranges rear another 1000 feet.
 Mrs. Landry said the plane was bound down the river and was clearly visible although a heavy rain was falling. Her home is but 300 feet from the river.
