CLUBWOMEN ROUSED BY ALLEGED INSULT OF NOTED ACTRESS ‘You Don’t Know Anything’ Ethel Barrymore Tells Philadelphia Group Philadelphia, Dec. 2—()—It was “an extra added attraction” but Ethel Barrymore's denunciation of 300 Philadelphia clubwomen as know- hothings stole the show from her erst- while protegee, Eva Le Gallienne, and evoked a storm of protest. The‘ two famous actresses created their sensation—as full of drama as any of their theatrical triumphs—at the Philadelphia lecture assembly where Miss Le Gallienne appeared Fri- day to “make amends” for her failure to keep an engagement last Monday. Explaining her failure as the re- sult of a “complete misunderstanding, her “apology” was such that it set the stage for Miss Barrymore, Princess of the American theatre's “Royal Family.” “I don't know why we bother to speak to you,” Miss Barrymore told the women, already smarting under the lash of her companion’s criticism. “Miss Le Galifenne and I dd you an honor to be here at all. ‘And You Never Will “You don’t know anything. You don’t understand anything. You don’t appreciate anything. You’ never ang known anything and you never “I have given 35 years of my life to the theatre. I don’t know why we do it, we get no thanks. I think Miss Le Gallienne has done you a great honor. I don’t know why. I don't know why anyone should honor you. You do not come to see my plays. You should be happy to come here two or three times in order to hear Miss Le Gallienne once.” Turning to Miss Le Gallienne she continued: “I found this child. She has done more for the American theatre than anyone else in the world. And yet you aare criticize her, a woman of her in- telligence, because she doesn't appear at some meeting or other that she doesn’t know anything about!” Although mild by comparison, Miss Le Gallienne’'s criticism of the audi- ence was no less pointed. Asserting she had never broken a professional engagement in her more than 20 years in the theatre, she exclaimed: “I would think by this time you would have a little faith.” Livestock Fanciers .

Bonar's dropkick after Notre Dame's first touchdown in the final quarter proved to be the winning margin. Ex-/ cept for the Cadets’ second-quarter rush, the Irish outplayed Army throughout. In the other outstanding eastern game of the day, Princeton’s powerful | Tigers ran true to form to wallop Yale 27 to 2 with ease. ‘The Notre Dame-Army game in de- tail: First Period Army kicked off and Carideo on the| first play from scrimmage made a first down in midfield but he fumbled later on the fourth down and Army took the ball on its own 38, Following an exchange of punts; Notre Dame got a break when Lukats’ low punt bounded dead on Army’s 2 as Johnson stood by.

Army got a break when Lukats fumbled and Stillman recovered on Notre Dame's 33. Bul- lingame made a sensational catch of Buckler's pass for a gain of 18 yards to put the ball on Notre Dame's ll. On a tricky pass, Buckler raced around his own left end for a touch- down but he missed the placement kick, Shortly after the next kickoff Army recovered the ball and smashed the line to Notre Dame's 12. Aided by 8 penalty for offside, Army, on fourth down, made it first down just short | of the goal. Stancook failed in a line! plunge but Johnson rolled over for a| touchdown. Again Buckler failed to| kick the extra point and Army led 12-0 as the half ended. Third Period ‘This quarter was uneventful, excep! for the fact Notre Dame showed first signs of its victorious drive Inte in the canto. Lukats gained 14 yards, carry- ing the ball to Army’s 38. Miliner got loose around end for the first down on the Cadet 23 as the period ended. Fourth Period Notre Dame's full power blossomed in the fina! quarter.

From all sections of the state, the| vroclamation said, come appeals to/ ‘prevent dispossessions and evictions during the severe winter months and at a time when the inclemency of the weather puts added burdens upon people who are desperately striving to care for their families. “To permit the cold letter of the law to operate and dispossess and evict families in this state during the cold winter months of the year would umount to a public calamity, especial- ly in face of a situation where thou- sands are asking for federal aid in order to live.” Ballots Burned by Southern Democrats Baton Rouge, La, Dec. 2—()— Angered by the action of the sixth district Democratic executive commit- eo _ . Pioneer of Repeal | “CAPTAIN WILLIAM STAYTON By NEA Service Washington, Dec. 2.—With victory almost his, 75-year-old Captain Wil- Nam Stayton of Washington has at! last relaxed his long, relentless fight against the prohibition amendment. Called the real “Daddy of Repeal,” Captain Stayton crusaded against the: dry laws from the time of their in-| ception 15 years ago. A founder and present chairman of the board of directors of the As- sociation Against the Prohibition Amendment, Captain Stayton helped swing the tide of sentiment by taking the dry law issue not to politicians but directly to the people. He was born in Smyrna, Del., which is inci- dentally the home town of Clarence True Wilson, temperance leader. HEARING IN WENZEL QUSTER WILL BEGIN IN.CITY THURSDAY Data Is Changed From Tuesday by Stipulation of Oppos- ing Attorneys A hearing before a special commis- | sioner on ouster charges against R. E. Wenzel, suspended commissioner of the workmen’s compensation bureau, has been set for next Thurs- day by agreement of counsel in the case. Originally, the hearing had been fixed for next Tuesday. Charles A. Verret, assistant state attorney general, representing Gov- ernor William Langer who ordered Wenzel’s suspension pending outcome of the removal proceedings, said stipulations will be entered before | the district court in connection with Wenzel’s action for a writ of certio- rari. Judge C. W. Buttz has ruled that Wenzel cannot be suspended by the governor pending outcome of the hearing, but held the commissioner may be removed for legal cause. Whether an appeal will be taken to the supreme court by either side in the case has not been determined by Verret and George F. Shafer, at- torney for Wenzel. The two attorneys, at a conference, decided to enter stipulations instead of asking for the writ of certiorari as a means of speeding up the pro- cedure, Verret said.

Helsing, manager of the state hail insurance department, has signed a confession that he misappropriated $1,350 of the department's funds. sean said Helsing has been sus- pen as manager by Insurat Commissioner 8. A. Olsness. ee Sathre said the action to be taken against Heising will depend on the outcome of an audit being conducted of the department's books Saturday by special examiners, while three guardsmen are posted to prevent any Persons from entering the offices. Governor Langer, in a statement said a thorough investigation will be made “to ascertain how much has been stolen by the manager of the hail insurance department and his ac- complices, if any.” Forgeries Are Claimed The governor's statement said an investigation disclosed signatures of two farmers had been forged to war- rants amounting to $1,350. “We do not know how many farm- ers have been robbed, nor how much hhas been taken from the hail fund,” the governor said. Sathre said Heising had signed affi- davits under oath that he had misap- Propriated $1,350 but maintained that there were no other irregularities. Governor Langer, Sathre and Ols- ness were in conference until late Fri- day night and much of Saturday. Sathre said Heising made no ex- planation for the alleged embezzle- ment and did not appear antagonistic when confronted with the results of the investigation. é The confession was made to Sathre in the presence of Insurance Commis: sioner Olsness in the attorney gen- eral’s office Saturday. Sathre said another man, now dead, who was not connected with the hail insurance department, was said by Helsing to have assisted in the misap- Propriation of funds, but that Heising showed a disposition to assume blame himself and was reluctant to im- Plicate the deceased man. Heising showed a willingness to cooperate with state officials, Sathre said.
