PAGE TWO MILLION DOLLAR DAMACE ACTION MAY BE REVIVED Court Ruling Paves Way for Probe in Fontaine-Whitney Dispute Over Paternity of Child BY PERCY B. SCOTT (United Press Staff Correspondent) ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 22.—Justice Ellis J. Staley in Albany today opened the door for a thorough legal probe into the paternity of the son of Evan Burrows Fountaine in her $1,000,000 breach of promise suit against Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, son of Harry Payne Whitney.

C., Dec. 2: (By the United Press.}—Notah'e suc- cesseo have attended the Mexican embassy here. These dispatches said that rebels of the De La Huerta party have been dislodged from Pansaccla and that federal troops have occupied suburbs of Puebla. Government troops also have con- tinued advances in the state of Jab isco, repairing railroad lines destroy. ed by the rebels, the embassy said. Federals under General Eugenio Martinez registered new aitvances in the state of Vera Cruz, where the rebels have withdrawn from Mal- this question. Judge Staley cleared the way by dismissing a previous decision in the vupreme court in Saratoga at the request of Charles Firestone of New York, attorney for Miss Fountaine. This will have two effects. It will divest the action of a number of technical entanglements into which it has become enmeshed and will permit a new action on the same state of facts to be started in Weat- chester county, the present home of Miss Fountaine.

Rome—litaly is faced with a do- mestic struggle, for Premier Mus- solin{ is virtually governing without a parliament pending new elections. The grip of Fascism is still strong thruout the country. Moscow—There will be no national celebration of Christmas in Russia. Under the ancient Greek church rites the celebration would not occur for another twelve days anyway. Right here at home in Britain the people are faced with the most ser- fous national unemployment crisis in the country’s history. Defeat of Premier Baldwin's tariff proposals at the recent general election has left chaos worse confounded. A labor government is regarded as a certainty during the next few weeks. The laborities and their liberal con- ferees have no immediate solution for unemployment. — SEPARATION AGREEMENT RENDJUSTMENT SOUGHT IN AGTION FILED HERE Josephine Hughes as the next r} friend and natural guardian of Eleg 2 nor Howard is suing Robert Wayne Howard for a readjustment of the financial status of their separation agreement, The couple were mar- ried August 28, 1922, in Casper, Elea- nor Howard at that time being a minor.
