Yet both of them suddenly have found themselves the storm center of an fcultural _eyelone According to reports from Englind, Sir Josiah alrcady has risen up to in- quire how in the name of the seven seas he, an Englishman who alway expects to remain an Englishman, can be made something of a “goat” in the congressional debate: the Amer ican farm problem Josiah_has pointed out that he ins from in_his own country and has h for mixing into the po. cal affairs of a foreign land.

Mayor Walker had just presented the advertising men, numbering 40, with a scroll of welcome. “We don't give keys any more,” he said. “Oh,” said Charles W. Stokes, vice president of the Advertising Club of Montreal, Canada, “we don't need a key. The town is wide open.” A roar of laughter from those in the mayor's guestroom, participated in by the mayor himself, brought an explanation_from_Stokes. “I mean New York's hospitality its facilities for making home so great, that no magic seasame is necessary,” he said.

By the Ascociated Press. NEW YORK, June 19.—The waning gaiety along Broadway that marks the closing of the theatrical season was checked still further today by the tale of two persons, a man and a woman, who had trod the boards of the bright-light district, who had sought surcease from sorrow and poverty in death. | e The woman was Ann Austin, an actress and former wife of a Charles- ton, W. Va,, lawyer. She took poison after weeks of unemployment, leaving a note blaming her act upon_ “a man named Emil."” : The man was Alexander Niejen, former officer in the Russian army and last Winter a Broadway chorus man. He chose drowning as a means of escape from the worries of life. Miss Austin, twice married, despite her 32 years, telephoned the superin- tendent of her apartment house last night that “I've taken polson and I'm dying, but I don’t want to be dis- turbed.” She fought doctors who tried to save her life, and several hours Jater she died. Earlier she had failed in an attempt to commit suicide by gas. Niejen disappeared from the chorus in which he had a job last April. Last night a body was found floating in the Hudson, and_ today Niejen's brother identified it. Police attributed the suicide to the soldier-dancer’s worry over financial inability to bring his wife and children to this country. Some also expressed the belief that he had been depressed by having to wear the costume of a bolshevik in the play, the revolution having been the cause of his departure from Rus- sla and the separation from his famil; man, Brooklyn, Federal Council Christ in America.

By the Associated Press. WESTERVILLE, Ohio, June 19.— Willlam E. (Pussyfoot) Johnson ar- rived home today for a. brief breath- ing spell before sailing for foreign countries to preach the dry gospel. He expects to leave July 1 with his exact destinaton not fully arranged. Since January 1 Johnson has made 150 addresses In nine States. He brought back a slight imp with him sustained when he was bowled over in Canistoe, N. Y., by an automobile while crossing a street. In 90 per cent of the States he visited, Johnson said, “the prohibition law is as well or better enforced than any other law. It is better enforced even in Chicago than the law against murder. Of course, there is a lot of caterwauling around New York and Baltimore. New York and Maryland ratified the eighteenth amendment, then crawled under the bed. They | did not make good on their ante. “Forty-six States won't repeal the eighteenth amendment to accommo- date two other States,” he said. ““New York and Maryland never enforced any licensing laws they ever had and they won't enforce any law whatever that interferes with the lquor busi- ness.” YALE PLAY IS A HIT.
