NORTH DAKOTA’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED 1873 STOP HOOVER CINEMA STARS ESCAPE DEATH IN CAFE FIRE Former Czarist General and Motion Picture Director Seriously Hurt RUSS RESORT WRECKED Charles Chaplin, Jack Demp- sey, Renee Adoree and Col- leen Moore Present Los Angeles, June 7.—(AP)—Ten Tsons were injured, two probably fatally, in a fire and explosion that wrecked a popular Russian cafe in Hollywood at midnight, shcrtly after a party of film luminaries left the place, The two persons seriously injured were Theodore Nodjensky, 50, for- mer general in the Russian army, and Irving Strother, 34, motion pic- ture director. Among the guests whose timely departure probably saved them seri- ous injury, were Charles pei the Marquis de la Falairc, Colleen Moore and her husband, John Mac- Cormack, Renee Adoree and Jack Celie ad and his wife Estelle Tay- or. Authorities immediately started an investiagtion on the theory the cleaned have been of ircendiary origin. n investigation by the sheriff's office and the county fire warden revealed that at six o'clock last night eight candles surrounded by a kerosene-soaked string had been found burning in an attic of the place. A similar contrivance was reported to have been discovered at midnight. . A gay party was in progress at the cafe, popular film retreat, as the midnight hour passed. __ One of the cafe employes discov- ered fire had broken out in the basement and the warning was car- ried to dining room. Quickly the place emptied of the film Perris: only a few others remaining. ‘he blast occurred a few minutes after the arrival of the fire department.

Y., June 7.— (AP)—The single motored mono- plane Columbia took to the air to- day on the first leg of another transatlantic flight and this time it carried a woman as passenger. Last summer the Columbia sprang into fame as a transatlantic passen- ger plane when Clazence Chamber- lin flew it to Germany with Charles A. Levine as a passenger. On the present flight there are two pilots, Oliver Le Boutillier and; Arthur Argles, and Miss Mabel Boll is the passenger. The Columbia took the air on its latest venture at 6:14 daylight time this morning with Old Orchard, 270 miles away, as its immediate desti- nation. There the tanks will be fucled to capacity and a take-off for Europe made as_ weather permits. Miss Boll hopes to beat Miss Amelia Earhart, now waiting in Newfoundland to make a similar at- tempt. : Few people saw the take-off this morning, not more than 100 being scattered about the field, and most of them were reporters and photog- raphers. irs.

As ‘Just a Peck, Not a Pas- sionate Kiss at All’ London, June 7.—()—A kiss that was a mere “peck,” as one of the principals explajns it, figures in an inquiry into allegations that third- degree methods were employed by Scotland Yard. Pretty 22-year-old Irene Savidge, who was arrested with Sir Leo Money for “improper conduct” in Hyde Park, testified as to the kiss and the methods employed by police officers to wring the details of her relations with Sir Leo from her. Sir Leo had been taking her to a restaurant in Soho for about six months, she said, and she would re-| turn home about midnight. She had | a fiance of her own, but, she added, | “I'm a very free and independen* young woman.” Sir Leo had kissed her just be- fore they were arrested, she said. |She described the kiss as “just a peck, not a passionate kiss at all.” Both she and Sir Leo were cleared of the charge.

Settlement of Church and State Controversy Seen After Audience Rome, June 7.—(?)--The Mexican religious situation will be reviewed exhaustively during the next few days by all competent officials of the Roman Curia, it was announced today at the Vatican. The announcement followed an audience granted by Pope Pius last night to Monsignor Ruiz Y Flores, Archbishop of Michoacan who brought the latest word on the sit- uation in Mexico. | A semi-official_ communique said} that Archbishop Ruiz had present- | ed the Pontiff with a “report.” This was not characterized flatly as the} basis for a possible settlement of | the controversy which has torn the church and state in Mexico for the past two years, but its importance was evident from the fact that the Pontiff was closeted with the Mex- ican prelate for more than an hour and a half. 4 Archbishop Ruiz, on leaving the Vatican, said that Pope Pius showed himself extraordinarly well in- formed on the situation south of the Rio Grande. “He knows Mexican matters bet- ter than I,” exclaimed the Arch- bishop who said that he was emin- ently satisfied with the results of his visit ts Rome thus far, particu- larly because of the Pontiff’s ex- treme interest in his communication. Pontiff Praises Mexico The Pontiff had the highest praise for the courage and long suffering of the Mexican faithful, telling the Archbishop that he had a special predilection for Mexico as a father feels for his son, particular- ly for one who is harassed and sor- rowful. ¥ The present situation, the Pontiff declared he felt certain, would be solved “4 a the triumph of God and the church.” The attitude of the Holy See, he indicated to his visitor, would be to await the opportune moment “with that patience and courage of which Mexico already has given the world and the church such an elo- lice officers, She testified that she had gone with officers to Scotland Yard be- cause when they came for her she was so frightened she did not realize that it was not necessary for her to go if she did not want to. At Scotland yard, she said, she had been examined for five hours | by police officers after a woman | _'chaperon had been dismissed. She asserted that she was asked indel- icate and embarrassing questions. The police sugge ted, she testified, that she had been overcome with wine while diping with Sir Leo. Miss Savidge became acutely hys- terical after a long session in the vitness box, John Savidge, father of Irene and a confidential clerk to an account- ancy firm, then was called. Beat- ing his chest with his clenched fist, he exclaimed excitedly: “Can you imagine the horror and misery we have been in!” Irene, when she returned from Scotland Yard he said, kept crying hysterically: “Oh, why did they pick on me, an innocent girl?” ACTRESS’ MARRIAGE FACING ANNULMENT Chicago, June 7—(#)-—Miriam Hopkins, actress, today faced an- nulment of her marriage in New- ark, N. J., last week to Austin Parker, author, because divorce pro ceedings in Chicago against her hus- band are incomplete. Her divorce suit against Brandon Peters, actor, was heard June 1, but no decree has been signed. Her at- torney said he would ask the court to sign a decree as soon as the tran- script of the evidence was complet- ed, which he said would be within a day or two. Milton D.

Stop Hoover or it’s Hoover—that slogan-like phrase expressed the sentiments of delegates and party leaders already on the ground, five days in advance of the Republican convention. Having lost all hope of checking the commerce secretary’s rapid ac- cumulation of delegates in contests before the National committee— where Hoover supporters numbering more than 60 won seats over unin- structed and hostile delegations— the cabinet member’s foes began counting up their combined strength, They hoped to find a block _ suffi- ciently large to prevent Hoover from amassing the necessary 545 to win the nomination. With that end in view Lowden supporters met with those of Sena- tor Watson, the Indiana favorite s in Watson’s hotel room last it in a long parley. The usual political meeting. secrecy hedged the gathering and if any decisions were reached they were kept in confidence. Hoover Strategists Meet Similarly, two Hoover strategy meetings were held during the night and because they concerned strategy nothing was divulged. Quietly confident after checking over Hoover's delegate _ strength, his managers are reserving their fire until the balloting begins. The opponents of Hoover look to Watson, Curtis and other favorite son delegations with the hope of adding their votes to those of Low- den, who will enter the convention with about 250 certain votes. How long they will remain with him‘ ap- pears problematical, but Lowden’s boosters pin their hopes on cement- ing his strength early and holding i* intact to frustrate Hoover. The Lowde: forces look also to the many delegations yet to arrive ~including the powerful and doubt- ful Pennsylvania contingent—in the hope that new alignments may be created in favor of their candidate. ie Hoover opposition likewise is convinced that President Coolidge will receive a considerable acknowl- edgment on th? first ballot which iy contribute to holding Hoover off, Many conflicting factors enter into the discussion at this stage, one of them is the “draft Coolidge” movement which refuses to die even though there exists a general state of mind among the delegates that such a plan is futile. Another is the fact that while the Hoover |forces seem to be solid, there ap- pears to be no similar cohesion among the combined opposition. Observers who profess to see ad- vance signs of disintegration among the delegates making up the field against Hoover point to the many conflicting views on issues on whick a concerted opposition might be based. Chief of these is farm relief. While the middlewestern wing of Hoover opposition wants relief along the lines of the vetoed McNary- Haugen bill the eastern faction, per- sonified in Charies D. Hilles, the New York national committeeman, has always been bitterly opposed to that method. Corn Belt Group Uneasy In addition, the corn belt group is evincing signs of dissatisfaction with the manner in which its pro- {gram to demand a strong farm re- lief platform and a middlewestern candidate has been conducted thus far. Some members of this group are disconcerted by the reports from a number of middle western centers that thousands of farmers are to abandon their fields to emphasize the demands to be made by their jeailer® These members eee ose reports are exaggera' and te the demonstration will not de- velop. Lowden will arrive Saturday night to move into his spacious headquar- ters and take charge of his cam- paign. Watson is on the ground and Curtis will open his offices this week.
