plenty of forward momentum today.
Gains in the carrier group ranged
to point or so near the start of the

While some South American and
Belgian issues improved in the
foreign list. buyers and sellers alike
appeared timid in this group.
Demand for the rails, which out
shone other market developments,
appeared based on bright reports of

HaWaii's advantage to have a tour
ist miss some Of the scenic attrac-
tions on his first visit. For when
he has been told, perhaps on board
ship returning home. of certain
wonders and marvels and beauties
that he has failed to see, he is apt
to register a resolve to return to
pick up these loose ends. And I
am inclined to believe that very
considerable percentage of these
people will manage somehow or
other to get that second trip to
the islands. I have seen a good
many such here in Honolulu, folks
who have come back to do something
or see something that was skipped
or missed on the first occasion. In
an earlier letter I have described
my own installation as member
of the Come Back Club" Some
whom I have met in Honolulu have
acquired the Hawaii habit and have
returned many times. veritable COM
muters across the Pacific.
One Thing to See.
Pre-eminent in the list of things
not assuredly seen on the first trip
IS, of course. Mauna Loa, the f1ckle
volcano on Hawaii, where Pele now
makes her home. Honolulu is at
this very hour of writing fairly we'll
congested with people who have
never seen Pele in action and who
are determined to see her in erup-
ton before they die. The Tourist
Bureau does not pledge Pele for
anything. 1t does not hint to the
tourist that Pele is just waiting for
him to arrive on Hawaii Island to
give him show that Is worth a
trip around the world to see. It
simply tells him that Pele may
erupt at any time. or again may
not erupt for another year or five
years, or 10. But it does tell him
that Pele is there and that in all
likelihood she will put on a show
before many seasons have elapsed.
Meanwhile, say the efficient young
women at the Tourist Bureau, there
are plenty of other things to see,
perhaps not as dramatic as Pele in
action, such things, for instance,
as the Pail on Oahu, as the Grand
Canyon of Weimea on Kauai, as
the worlds largest dormant volcano
on Maui. the immense crater named
Haleakala-Which means House of
the Sum-" title that must have
come through nspiration-as a
score or two score more wonders
Of nature that may be viewed at
the cost of a few hours travel and
few dozen dollars of expense.

the Hawaii Tourist Bureau, Mr..
George T. .Armitage, and his capa-

have the goods to sell and it is
not their fault If Mr.. and Mrs.
Tourist do not like them. AS a
matter Of fact, Mr.. and Mrs. Tour
ist do like them, invariably, their
only regret being that they can not
have more of them.
That Is why Hawaii regards its
investment in tourist attraction and
travel development as one of the
most profitable that can be under
taken.

DID STAN LAUREL
 DIG WEES GRAVE
His Plump Russian Spouse, Illeana Says So - She
 Asks Separation

Hollywood, April 13.-(UP)-Stan Laurel's plump Russian wife, H. leana, charged in a suit for sep arate maintenance today that the diffident little movie comedian dug grave in the backyard and tried to bury her alive in 1t.
 Her complaint, which reads like one of Laurels comedy scenarios gone serious, charged also that Lau- rel took one of his former wives along on their honeymoon, and in- vited her to drop around to the house now and then to reminisce on their. former married life.
 She asked $1,000 a month main- tenance, court costs, attorney fees, and a division of their property.
 The grave scene occurred in back of Laurels ranchhouse in San Fernando Valley late one night last August, she alleged. She said he beat her, then got a shovel and dug a grave and tried to thrust her in it. Neighbors rescued her.
 Laurel went searching for her and was arrested for driving on the wrong side of the road, whereupon she repented, she said, and stood by him in court because she feared he would lose a film contract. It

 It was understood that the con- ferees were agreed that there wal no need for any additional legisla- tion and that there was ample au- thority in existing laws to Ceal with the situation.
 The official emphasized that while there was no positive feeling that @ general European war was in the ofing, it was felt that the "only sane and intelligent thing to do" wal to prepare for any emergency.

BRIDGE PLAYERS
 AMAZED AT HANDS
Four "l3 of A Suit" in One Deal Is Marvel of
 Card Games

Berkeley, Cal, April 13-(UP) - Statisticians ran out of figures today attempting to compute the mathe- matical chances of another bridge hand like the one dealt yesterday at the Berkeley Country Clubs monthly invitational tournament. On the basis that a "13 of suit hand comes up only once in 108,- GOO, 100000 deals, the chances of four "13 of a suit" hands coming in one deal up appeared impossible.
 But it did. Mrs. Sam H. Harpin got 13 spades; her partner, Mrs. N. P. Cocker had 13 diamonds; Mrs. J. s. Cassidy 13 clubs and her part ner, Mrs. G. G. Johnson 13 hearts.
 The match had been in progress for about an hour. Suddenly there was silence.
 Mrs. Johnson, first to sort her cards, gasped: "Why, I have 1S hearts!"
 And all I have is clubs" Mrs. Cassidy said.
 One Speeches., One Shrieks
 Mrs. Hardin, speeches., displayed 13 spades and Mrs. Cocker threw down her diamonds and shrieked.
 When things quieted bit, they realized they hadn't done anything about playing their hands.
 well, I pass," said Mrs. Cocker, knowing her partner held spades.
 T don't know what to do do," sighed Mrs. Cassidy.
 Seven spades" said Mrs. Hardin with conviction.
 q pass," said Mrs. Johnson with last, sad look at her hearts.
 Then they all heaved sigh and threw in their hands while 1,150 points were scored to the account of Mrs. Hardin-Mrs. Cocker for a non-vul grand slam.
 All four ladies are willing to attest that the shuffle and deal were per- fectly normal. The 80 other con- testants in the tournament, including Louis O'Leary, duplicate director of the club, are willing to back them up.

|CULHANE'S BILL MAY BECOME
Governors Signature Needed to Legalize Pen-
 siOns For City Employees
Special to The Democrat,

State Capitol, Hartford, April 13. Awaiting signature by Gov. Ray- mond E. Baldwin is Senator George T. Culhane's Waterbury pension bill, which passed the house yesterday without even being read, just as 1t had passed the senate the day be- fore.
 The bill provides that any city employe with 30 years of service, who is 60 years old, may retire on half-pay, with no pension to be less than $1,000 year. This does not apply to policemen. firemen or school teachers. If a city employees dies after 30 years of service, his widow shall receive pension of one-half his pay, if he were in ser- vice, or one-half his pension, if he were retired.
 In another section pension funds for widows of policemen and fire- men are set up. The widow of any policeman or fireman who has served ten years will receive pen- sion amounting to one-fourth the husbands pay.
 Policemen and firemen will con- tribute 2 per cent of their pay to the funds, while the city will con- tribute 5 per cent of its revenue from liquor licenses. City employees aside from policemen and firemen, would, under the bill, not be obliged to make any contributions from their pay.

WESTERN UNION
 ELECTION MIDDLE
Second Attempt to Name 2l Directors Over Oppo-
 sition of Minority

New York, April 13-(UP)-The management of Western Union TeleZ graph Company will make a second attempt at noon today to re-elect it's 21 directors over the protests of minority stockholders who broke up yesterdays meeting by dumping proxies for the management's custer.
 The stormy session lasted all af- ternoon with the ballot count still incompl ete. Newcomb Carlton, chairman of the board, said the management had a safe majority of proxies for the 1,045,277 outstanding shares, but Arthur c. Flatto, leader of the opposition which charged the management with negligence and "An obvious desire" to perpet- uate itself, said he would challenge every proxy voted for the manage ment.
 Flatto debated angrily with Carl ton over whether the minority op- position would get representation on the board if its vote proved size- able. Carlton insisted that so long as the management had majority, no matter how small, it would re- elect all directors, who include Vim cent Astor, w. A. Hartman, w. K. Vanderbilt and A. H. Wiggin.
 5000 Proxy Votes
 Flatto> claimed to have presented 5000 proxy votes for 50,000 shares too many to be quickly counted. One of his companions, Charles L. Powell who said he owned 1000 shares, shouted that Western Union stock had been going down, down, down." and that "this is over a $100, ,000, ,000 company but today you can go into Wall street and buy it for around 9,000, ,00O."
 Others who got the floor included representatives of company employees who denounced "any attempts by the management to sacrifice em- ployes' rights"
 Flatto admitted that he had spent several months gathering proxies in an attempt to oust the manage ment. His friends filled the meet ing room. The attendance of 250 broke all records.
 Uncounted ballots were kept over- night in a bank vault and were being tabulated in advance of the meeting.

Boston, April 13-(UP)-The re- fusal of employers to agree to arbi- tration halted peace efforts early to- day in a labor dispute that has throw 2800 drivers out of work, halted coal and fuel oil deliveries in metropolitan Boston and forced cur- tainment of gasoline shipments.
 The drivers, through their negoti- ating committee, already had agreed to the arbitaration proposal, ad- vanced by the state arbitration borad during an 11-hour conference When the employers refused to con- cur, the conference adjourned sub- ject to recall by the state board.
 The dispute, called a lockout by the union and strike by the en- ployers, came to head yesterday with the closing of coal yards and the establishment of picket lines by the drivers. Besides Boston, com munities affected included Milton Brookline, Newton, Medford, Water town, Waltham, Arlington, Somer- vile, Cambridge, Everett, Chelsa and Revere.
