THE EVENING STAR, GENEDLOGY FRALD " VICTIHS TESTFY Dr. Edwards Charged With Manhattan Ownership “Heir” Scheme. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, May 15.—Six Ohioans, who were among thousands throughout the country who paid $26 apiece to pro- tect “hereditary interests” in that par- cel of Manhattan Island, N. Y, which the Woolworth Building stan testified in Federal Court here yests day against Dr. Herbert. H. Edwar: chaged with using the mails to de- fraud. Dr. Edwards was president of the International Edwards’ Heirs Associa- tlon, Inc., until February 16, 1929, when Post Office inspectors terminated his! presidency by arresting him. Federal indictments against Edwards allege - he engineered & Nation-wide swindle in which he obtained between | $6,000 and $10.000, and in which his “'expert gencologist,” Milo Pressel, erst- while carpenter, got $12,000. LA Pressel ‘pleaded guilty last December and is serving two and a half years in| Atlanta prison. i According to the Government, Pre: el was able to develop a highly que tionable but almost limitless “fam: tree,” on which the alleged swindle w based. Prospective “customers” were | acquainted by mail with information | that they were descendants of “the late Robert Edwards,” who, the letters said.’ owned the Woolworth site in 1780, and whose heirs allegedly were entitled to challenge the' present ownership and | obtain substantial damages. COLLEGE MEN WEAR | SHORTS IN PROTEST 500 Dartmouth Students i Dem- onstration Against Pres- | ent Styles. By the Assoclated Press. | HANOVER, N. H,, May 15.—Although their shins were nearly blue from the cold, approximately 500 Dartmouth stu- | dents yesterday attired themselves in | shorts in protest to the conventicnal | and allegedly uncomfortable male | Summer garb. There were red shorts, blue, yellow and green shorts. Some were’ striped, some checkered and some of dainty flowered material. ‘The local haberdasheries early ex- hausted their stock and sent rysh orders for an additional supply to Meet the expected demands of today, Old-timers’ day. There were indications that in- stead of attiring themselves in the| styles of bygone years, the students| ‘would sport the abbreviated trousers. A reactionary or left wing of the collegiate body attempted to counteract the short movement yesterday with a bid for conservative apparel. Although they wore warm coats, long thousers and overshoes the anti-shorts appeared to gain few adherents and with expect- ed rll'l‘n(f temperature their ranks were expect to melt away. ——li BETSY ANN WILL/RACE TOM GREENE ON OHIO River Packet, ]fi'ely Beaten Last Year, Again Will Fight for Speed Laurels. By the Assoclated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 15.—The river packet Betsy Ann of Pittsburgh | was substituted yesterday for the steamer John W. Hubbard to race the| Tom Greene of Cincinnati June 7 in the annual Ohio River steamboat con- test. ‘The Tom Greene barely won from the Betsy Ann in a 22-mile race last year, but there were some who doubted the official decision, According to William Castellini, gen- eral chairman of the race, the change of plans was made to decide definitely | the championship of the Ohio River before new challengers are allowed to compete.

OAKLAND, Towa, May 15 (#)— “Pussy,” just an alley cat, adopted a family of skunks™and abandoned her own kittens to do so. J. R. Andress, a farmer, found the skunks while plowing and took them home. “Pussy” saw them and im- mediately forgot her own offspring in favor of the little black-and-whit strangers. Her kittens, neglected, died, but the baby skunks are thriving. Vice-Versa Girl a Puzzle. A girl who cries at jokes and laughs 1n'time of trouble has been puzzling the doctors of Bordeaux, France.
