* ington, > “INVALENTINO ASE Russian Actress Said to i« Have Been Guest in P Bridal Cottage. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, June 3.—A sub- poena for Mme. Alla Nazimova, Rus- sian actress, calling for her appear- ance as a witness in the hearing, of Rodolph Valentino, star, todetermine whether he must stand trial on a bigamy charge, was issued after yesterday's session. The paper had not been served. The charge against Valentino grew out of his marriage on May 13 at Mexicali, Mexico, to Miss Winifred Hudnut, the California statutes pro- viding that a marriage performed outside the state of a person having & husband or wife living can be prosecuted as bigamous if marital re- lations within the state can be proved. Valentino secured an inter- locutory decree of divorce from Miss Jean Acker last January, but a-final decree cannot be entered until next January. Occupled Cottage Together. Testimony offered yesterday was to the effect that the couple returned from Mexico to Palm Springs, Calif., on May 14, and occupied -a cottage there until May 16. Mrs. Romal de Lugo, 2 chambermaid, and Paul Ivan- ichevitchke. its lessor, ran stayed there part of the time. Ivanichevitcheke. who tes- tified Valentino was his best friend, alluded to the woman as a “friend of ours.” Mrs. Luga Identified a pic- ture as that of the other guest. Pe sons in the courtroom said they recognize the picture as that of Mme. Nazimova. Ivanichevitchke said Mrs. Valentino and the woman friend occupied ad- joining rooms in the cottage and that another was used by Valentino. He said that the party came to Los Angeles May 16. Valentino spending that night with him. Mrs. Valentino Leaves. “The next day I saw Mrs. Valen- tino at her home and drove with her and Mr. Valentino to Pomona, where Mrs. Valentino took the train for New York." he said. “Why did she go counsei asked. “I think she was advised by the Lasky studio.” replied the witness “Mr. Valentino told me they advised her to avoid publicity ORDERED TO FLEET.

By the Associated Press. KIRVIN, Tex., June 3.—Race riots tof a serious nature, reported last night as being feared near here, fail- ed to materialize. Armed men guard- ed the streets of Kirvin and a house occupled by negroes near Simsboro, about five miles from here, but, ac- cording to the peace officers, little further trouble was expected. Deputy sheriffs and policemen from Mexia, who-hurried here when the reports first went out, returned to their homes last night, and Freestone county officials informed many who had started for Kirvin that they should return, as the sheriff and his deputies had the situation under con- trol. The reports of a riot followed attempts of the city marshal of Kir- vin, Ottis King, and a deputy sherift to arrest LeRoy Glbson, a negro. Gibson is sald to have tried to escape and was shot and captured. As the officers started to their automoblles shots were fired at them and they re- turned the fire. Allle Gibson, a brother of the prisoner, was killed. The prisoner is said to have grabbed one of the officers and then was killed. Neither of the officers were injured. Follows Lynching of Four.

Had she not so acted, all the five herolc efforts of Ralelgh would have been void, the blood, the treasure. the hope, the courage, the high heart and faith of those dassling men who were his companfons would have passed like the smoke of a dead camp fire and left only the name of a lost colony. “Yet, in spite of such august service, the life of Pocahontas was so re- plete with romance and dramatic con- trasts, and her end so sad and sud- d Ceremontes. pres!- SPECIAL NOTICES. ~DETROIT UTO WITH | private party leaving June expenses di- ided. 78-D, Star office 4 ING TO THE PACT THAT 1 WAS U ble to give to the Realty Finance Investment | Company of this city the time which' I thought it deserved, I have resigned president and director of the said company | W.

This legislation means more to the 60,000 or 75000 government employes in the District of Columbla and the half million fed- eral employes outside the District ot Columbia than any-other legislation now pending beforer Congress. The need for such legislation has long since been recognized. A large. number of influential organizations, headed by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, are on record as favoring such legislation. Large sums of money have been spent by the joint congressional commission on re- classification and by the bureau of efficlency in ivestigations and still nothing happens. The so-called Sterling-Lehlbach bill as passed by the House of Repre- sentatives by an overwhelming vote any months ago, after extensive hearings had been held by the joint committees on civil service of the House and Senate. The revamped bill was reported last February by the Senate committee on civil service, with the important proviso, however, that the Senate committee on appropria- tions should pass upon the salaries. There the bill stuck and hung. Hopes Go Glimmering. The recent special article in The Star to. the effect that the bureau of efficiency’s plan was the only one that had a chance of being put into im- mediate effect and that the Sterling- Lehlbach bill has not a ghost of a chance of passage, followed by the speech of Senator Sterling, in which he would have none of the bureau of efficiency’s plan, served notice upon the government employes that their hopes of reclassification legislation at the present session of Congress h: been dimmed. Observers and victims ask how things have come to such a pass. The root of trouble goes back to the dis- agreement between the joint congres onal commission on recla: and Mr. Brown, chief of the bureau of efficiency. Mr. Brown deserves credit for Initiating the legislation creatin; the congressional commission to inves:. tigate reclassification, but when the commission was created, and it wus expected that Mr. Brown would serve as expert, either he could not agree with the commission or the commis- sion could not agree with him and they parted company. It they had only anaged to agree and work togeth as do other public officers and legi lative bodies, undoubtedly the Ilegis. lation would have veen on the statule books two years ago and the govern- ment employes would now be enjoy- ing the benefits instead of becoming more and more disheartened as the hope of such legislation gets pushed farther and farther away. Report Too Voluminous. The report produced by the joint eflmmlllll‘;n on reclassification was indeed a formidable document, one that repelled the average legislator, who, like other human beings, pre- fers to have his knowledge in tabloid but the reclassification report sound document on which good legisiation could be based. The civil service committees of both houses of Congress have made several attempts and at length succeded in framing up legislation that was sufficiently simple and ocomprehensive to complish the purpose if only it been written into law. In spite of the criticisms of Senator Sterling and others, the bureau of efficiency’s plan also has its good features, and had it been enacted it would have been po: ible to do stice to the employes. ’“'flm joint congressional commis- sion on reclassification and the Ster- Lahlbach = measure. have been ac- had ense of the cleri- 3& n}: l:xrmfluhla.tm any such measure brought forward should be -subject . to. criticlsm..

Jea: Bhe was driven to thing with reclassification. as with the ealler retirement legislation, is to bring eomething to pass ins of the paralysis caused by recrimin: tions and bickerings. Each Object of Criticism. The Wood-Smoot bill is critized as being a one-man proposition, ang Mr. Brown is critized as being perfectly 'willlng to have a reclassification measure passed provided only it is his. Adherents of Mr. Brown say that the promoters of the Sterling-Lehl- bach measure care more for <he po- litical advantage that will come from placing their particular ‘measure on the statute books and the glory that will come therefrom than they do for having some legislation. They, too, are charged with being unwilling to have any legislation that is not thelr Why cannot the two sides to this controversy forget themselves and their own glory and aggrandizement and think of this matter in terms of human beings? If they would put the good of ths service before personal credit a way ought to be found for them to get together, sink -their dif- ferences and get legislation on the statute books that will right these fifty-year-old wrong: If only there could be the will to place this legis- lation on the tute books it would be perfectly feasible to make -an eclectic bill which would take the best features from both and unite them into one. It might lack something of the logic of the Sterling-Lehlbach bill or the simplicity of the Wood-Smoot bill, but would at least-brimg the thing to pass. If pride of authorship is the main thing the government em- ployes would be perfectly willing .to have the bill called the Sterling- Smoot-Wood-Lehlbach-Brown bill so 17 to give everybody a slice.of the glory. Reported Program. It is reported that the Sterling-Lehl- bach bill has been made ‘one .of the major items of the republican legis- tive program.” The 'republican party may well make this very much overdue legislation one of the mafor items of its program. This Congress is, outside of Washington at least, criticized asa do-nothing Congress. The “leaders - of the party ought to consider the advan- tage of being able to say at the coming election that they had at length enacted reclassification_iegislation. Why can- not President Harding do_in this mat- ter as in others he is urged to do, take the leadership and say to the warring factions: “A plague on both your houses, get busy, shape up a bill and put it on the statute books.” Some of the government employes in Washing- ton have votes back home, but at least 500,000 government employes outside of ‘Washington are voters and their votes will be counted at the coming congres- sional election. Let the President point out to the warring factions that if no reclassification legislation is enacted in- stead of one side or the other getting the glory there will be condemnation of the party as a whole and of the legi lators who falled to enact the wished- for legislation. —_— DISMISSES INJUNCTION. Court Approves Gen. Beach’s Ex- clusion of Park Bus Line. Justice Hoehling of the District Su- preme Court has granted the motion of Gen. Lansing H. Beach, chief of en- gineers, U. 8. A, to dismiss the suit for injunction brought against' him' by Abe Luber, who sought to be allowed to continue the operation of a “bus” line in Potomac Park. Gen. Beach forbade the continuance of -the bus and had the driver arrested. Through Assistant United - Stat Attorney Wést the chief of engine showed the court that Congress has placed exclusive jurisdiction oyer ‘the parks.of Washington in the chief of eniln ers and that a permit from the Public Utilities Commission to operate a bus line in the park could not 1imit the right of the Army officer. Luber” counsel, Taggart & Taggart, contend ed that Congress by vesting power over common carriers in the District in the Public Utilitles Commission by the act of March 4, 1913, repealed the act of July 1, 1898, giving exclusive Jjurisdiction to the Army officer. The utilities act, Mr. West contend- ed, merely regulated common carriers l‘nflhdld not give them any additional rights.
