In strange contrast to the boisterous | diamond personality of the New York Yankee slugger, the wedding took place in the quiet dignity of the neighbor- | hood parish, conducted by Father Wil- { liam H.

Aside from the bridal party of half a dozen, there were | less than 60 persons in the church. ‘The genial Babe, smiling but serious, | arrived at the church with his small, dark-haired and attractive bride 25 | minutes before the ceremony and join- led other early morning worshipers in the all but vacant pews. A few min- utes later Father Hughes stepped be- fore the altar, called forth the names | of the base ball star and Mrs. Hodgsol and performed the brief wedding cere- { mony.

HEITLER STIRS RIOT IN SUBURBAN TOWN Chicago's Turbulent Ward Leader Accused of Attempting to Fraud- ulently Control Election. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO; April 17.—Mike (De Pike) Heitler, a leader in Chicago's turbulent twentieth ward, attempted to assist the citizens of Specialville, near here, to choose their officials yesterday and added a touch of interest to an other- wise drab suburbari election. Apparently fearing a light vote, police charge Mike gathered up about 200 associates with voting complexes, described by police as floaters, and journeyed to the syburb. When police interneved, they said, Heitler's party was. busily engaged in promiscuous ex- ercise of franchise, voting. at first one poling place and then another. Heitler, who was reporetd to have been interested in one of the communi- ty's tickets, was jailed, along with 27 of his alleged associates. The others escaped. Deputy Police Commissioner Stiege raided Heitler's Blue Oak Inn, in Blue Island and found a quantity of fire- arms and several sets of bass knuckles, he reported.

The Detroit, police trial board has| | before it the cases of Capt. Joseph A.i Burkheiser and Sergt. Edward Shaw, accused of co-gperating with rum-run- ners to prevent seizure of llquor-lm.l-:ni { boats by Federal authorities, and als | accused of converting. seized liquor to their private use. | In Federal Court 12 former United States border customs patrol inspec- | tors face trial on charges of accepting | bribes from “importers.” Seven former | inspectors have pleaded ‘guilty to the charge and one has been convicted and given the maximum sentence of two | years in the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kans, Nineteen alleged rum-runners are under indictment for | giving bribes to the inspectors and face | trial if they can be *brought back from | C" nada, whence they have fled. 365 Boats Disappear. Federal officials are trying to learn vhat became of 365 rum-runners’ boats | that disappeared after they were seized while. in the act of smuggling liquor across the Detroit River from Canada. It has been asserted that rum-run- ners employ speed boats that literally “run rings” around slower United State customs patrol boats and land | liquor at Detroit docks in broad day- | light. This charge has been admitted | by Federal enforcement officers, who explain that the service has been demoralized by wholesale indictments against customs inspectors and their | | reputation, but new at the business of | | keeping liquor out of Detroit. On the other hand, recent efforts of all law enforcement agencies have | caused Tum-running to be regarded as a more hazardous occupation than | | formerly.

NEW YORK, April 17-Frustrated by a legal lopphole from making Texas Guinan's new night club observe the 3 am. curfew, the police early today sllenced its orchestra and arrested eight waiters on sanitary and liquor charges. ‘The management of the Club Intime, at which Miss Guinan now is hostess, had circumvented the curfew by declar- ing the club to be part of the Hotel Harding. P Shortly after the entertainment started this morning, delectives ordered Karl Dopita, an assistant manager, to produce his cabaret license, and when he was unable to do so served a sum- mons returnable in court on Monday. A patrolman was stationed in the place to see that the music and show were not resumed. ‘While another assistant manager was explaining to the 60-odd gyests why the entertainment had been stopped, five detectives of the so-called “Dude Squad” entered. They made a con- certed rush for the kitchen. where the club’s 11 waiters were ordered to show their health , department permits to handle food. Six were unable o do so and were served with Summonses for violations of the sanitary code, return- able in court tomorrow. On the way to the kitchen one of the a table and ‘arrested two waiters on charges o fillegal possession. He said one of them threw the bottle under the table near which the other was stand- ing. Discouraged by the repeated police interruptions, and deprived of enter- tainment, music and dancing privileges, the guests departed after hissing and booing the police. The police raided three other clubs early today and arrested employes on charges of possession of liquor. Miss Guinan was not present during this morning’s raid. She was found not guilty of the charge of maihtaining a nuisance at the Salon Royale, her former club, by & jury in Federal Court last week, ©.-3 then engaged in a verbal tilt with Police Commissioner Grover A.

HAVOC CA tiohs, instead of striving to achieve that ! agreement on methods of limitation Wwhich would justify convoking an in- ternational conference. { Gen. Langovov declared that the method of limitation of tonnage elabo- rated by the Russian government would prevent derogations which he insisted the system fixed by the Washington treaty permitted. He alleged that when the 10,000-ton cruisers took to sea they really displaced 14,000 tons. “In limiting the caliber of guns of warships, renouncing airplane combat and prolonging the life of warships we weaken the destructive force of naval warfare and diminish the budgets of navies,” he said. “In proposing the im- | mediate scrapping of airplane carriers | and the gradual replacement of enor-{ mous warships by ships of, 10,000 tons we suggest that this be achieved by 1942, the date by which certain of the powers must replace their old ships un- der the terms of the Washington treaty. - Referring to submarines, he explained | that abolishment of undersea,- vessels | was not proposed until total disarma- ment is feasible, but the Russian plan wanted them reduced to defensive pro- portions. N. Sato of Japan, the first speaker, said he wanted to comment on the Soviet plan submitted by-a state “with |which Japan had friendly relations.’ but wanted to recall in the most friendly manner that under the League cove- nant countries were called upon only to | reduce their armaments to a minimum i compatible with national security. He opposed the Soviet projéct on the ¥mund it was too mathematical, also afled to give sufficient attention to the special positions of various countries or the necessities of their defense grow- jing out of special geographical® situa- j tions. The Japanese delegate also was iagainst the project becanse it provided {for. actual reductions whereas - this aluullon of figures should be left to e forthcoming - international . cor.fer- ence. He declared that the preparatory commission was merely empowered to (bulld the technical structure for & con- ference and appealed to M.
