" HUGE MONUMENT - HONORS COLUMBUS Heroic Statue of Explorer Will Be Unveiled in New York April 21. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 30.—Above the low coastline at Palos, Spain, a heroic statue of Christopher ‘Colunibus rises some 70 feet above a classical base 44 feet square. The titanic monument, which will be -unveiled April 21, stands beside the spot where Columbus weighed anchor and stood off with his three caravels or the perilous trip through unknown weters westward. Winin the base is a 20-fcot chamber wherein sit figures of King Ferdinand of Spain and Queen Isabella, who provided the money | whereby the explorer was enabled to assembie his ships and crews. Mrs. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney of New York, the designer, will be present. At anchor off shore will ride the United States crutser Raleigh, under com- mand of Vice Admiral John H. Dayton, and Spanish warships will fly the Stars and Stripes and the standards of Castile in honor of the discoverer of the wes- tern world. Alexander P. Moore, former United States Ambassador to Spain; Adolph S. Ochs, Miss Anne Morgan and Rear Ad- miral Herman O. Stickney were among the promment Americans who made the memorial possible. Mrs. Whitney was chosen to execute the figure because of the admiration aroused by her statue at St. Nazaire, France, commemorating the landing place of the first American soldiers to reach France in the World War. She has labored for months overcoming the engineering difficulties encountered in erecting such a large monument on the shifting sands of the coast. As to the statue itself the navigator | stands with his arms resting on the' traverse of a great cross—because he went forth to spread Christianity as much as to discover lands unknown— and his eyes gaze westward. The figure follows the reproduction of Columbus made by Paulus Jovius, still in posses- ston of Orchi, at Como. 4 The adjoining Monastery of Rabida, in which Columbus prayed the night before he set sail on his momentous Journey, also has been restored. VISITORS TO LINER SEARCHED FOR RUM Customs Guards Keep Close Chccki on Ile de France Before Sailing. NEW YORK, March 30 (#).—Cus- toms guards last night searched visitors for liquor as they came off the French liner Ile de France, just before that vessel sailed for Europe, but it could not be learned whether any liquor was found. Several uniformed guards were sta- tioned at the gate and as the visitors left the upper level to pass to the street, the hip pockets of the men were “patted,” overccats carried over the arm were pinched and boxes of flowers that arrived too late to be taken on beard were opened and examined. Outside the gate two customs guards followed some of the visitors to the street and searched them as they en- iered their automobiles. Some of them protested and refused to permit the search until they were taken back to the pier. “Last night's incident was the second time withinr12-hours that ciistoms men sought hiquor on the liner. Earlier they seized three bottles of liquor from guests at a dinner to Joan Lowell, author. M. Lincoln Schuster, book publisher, who was present, paid_a $7 fine imposed by the customs men. No one was arrested. INMAN SAYS LIQUOR KEPT IN HIS HOME Cross-Questioning in Divorce Ac- tion Brings Denial of Atlantan Striking Wife. By the Associated Press. RE! Ney., March 30.—Walker P, Inman’s long story of Mrs. Inman's al- leged indiscretions was the target for more cross-questioning attorneys today. The wealthy New York and Atlanta man has spent the better part of two days on the stand in his effort to ob- tain a divorce from his wife, the daughter of a Kokomo, Ind, minister. Mrs. Inman also is seeking a divorce and property settlement. Mrs. Inman’s attorneys brought out through questioning Inman yesterday that although Infnan had avtempted to dissuade his wife from using liquor to excess, he had always kept supplies of intoxicants at home and on his yacht. Under cross examination Inman said he returned to his Greenwich Village apartment early one morning in 1923 and found John Steele, vaudeville singer, and Mrs. Inman there. Steele had been mentioned several times in testimony as an ardent admirer of Mrs. Inman. ‘The husband also testified that “Bill” Hardy, former captain of the Inman yacht, had been unduly attentive to Mrs. Inman and related incidents occurring aboard the vessel which he contended supported his allegations. Inman testi- fied he had discharged Hardy in 1927 after separating from Mrs, Inman, He denied that he ever struck Mrs, Inman, but said he had pushed her from him when she was intoxicated. ey et More Plague Cases Found.

By the Associated Press. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, March 30— ‘Thirteen owners of the Mammoth Cave property, in Kentucky, representing a one-third interest, yesterday sought an injunction in Middlesex Superior Court here to block the sale of the property by trustees to the Mammoth Cave Na- tional Park Association. The matter was taken under advisement. The defendants in the action were the association and the individuals, Violet B. Janin, Washington, D. C.; Mary J. Sitgreaves, Newton, and Wil- liam E. Wyatt, New York, who are trustees. Counsel for the owners charged that two of the trustees planned secretly to sell their shares to the association, thus leaving the plaintiffs in a position of being forced to sell their holdings at an inadequate price. Legal action is pending, it is under- stood, also in the Kentucky courts and the Federal courts at Washington.

His well fitting morning coat, his polished boots and white spats no less than the silk hat he put so ten- derly on a chair were alike splendid. “Sorry_to interrupt you. You -going out, ma’am?” he looked at the door. Dora was dressed for the street, for way out when Martin’s face darkened. “Might I suggest that, in those cir- cumstances, you might have kept your trail from passing through my front doorway?” “I shook it” °Mr. Smith smiled blandly. “There isn’t an amateur de- tective in the world who can trail me, once I give my mind to the business of beating him. Not even Stormer’s sleekest sleuth can get his nose down on me.” With a flourish he pulled a gray silk handkerchief from his breast pocket, tted his lips gently and replaced the andkerchief. “I was going out, if you'll excuse me—" “That 1s unfortunate” sald Mr. Smith gravely. “I had a few words to say to you, and I'm thinking it will interest you, too, to know that a mem- ber of the ancient house of Bedford has joined the unholy congregation of the Busy Bees.” “What are you getting at?” asked Martin, - “I'm getting at a revelation which I should like to make as dramatic as pos- Fresi sible. Audrey, your law, has joined Martin frowned. He was not quite sure about this man, except in one re- spect, that he could dispense alike with his co-operation and his company. “What stuff are you giving me?” he asked gruffly. “Audrey joined the po- lice?” “When I say ‘the police’ I exagger- ate, although Stormer’s are as near 1o the official blues as you can get in this country.” “You mean she’s joined Stormer's staff?” asked Martin. Mr. Smith nodded. / T discovered it by accident,” he said, “Saw _her . going into Stormer’s office with Willitt—that’s the child’s pogtion of cheese who is Stormer’s vice regent on earth, Now I know Stormer’s; they seem {o have had me trailed since I was so high.

I suppose they do it here because it is done in Amer- ica, though badges in this country mean no more than fraternity pins. I watched the girl go in and come out again with Willitt, and round they went to Lobell's, the jewelers on Cheapside, and I happen to know that Lobell sup- plies this Star of Hope. There wasn't any need for me to go in; you could see them inside the shop from the ring section of the window, and sure enough there was her ladyship cooing with joy. They parted at the door. Willitt went to the nearest telephone box and what do you think he did?” “Telephoned,” said Martin laconically, :lnd Mr. Smith beamed his admira- on. “You've a brain, Elton. Yes, sir, he telephoned—to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
