RENO, Nev., May 2.—The cash regis- ter worked overtime today as Reno's six weeks' divorce mill opened up with = rush of business. Among the patrons were A number of Eastern soclety people. At the rate of once every two min- utes the register rang up %20, and some- times $30, in fees, recording in each instance the filing of a divorce suit. The cash register is the first mechan- ism to be set in motion in the opera- tion of the divorce mill, and not the least important, by any means, in the estimation of officlals and residents of this community. It helps to pay the county bills and turns dollars into the public treasury just as do the licensed gambling houses and the segregated vice district. 189 Suits Received. By Monday the first of the divorces applied for today under the new six weeks’ residence law will be turned out on a quantity basis, and with machine- like precision. Before 6 o'clock this morning the county clerk's office began receiving di- vorce complaints for fll(nf. At noon 170 cases were on file. A lull occurred in the afternoon, but when the office closed for the night 189 suits had been received. With each complaint, the cash regis- ter rang up $20 as a filing fee, and if the answers were filed simultaneously as they generally are in uncontested cases, an additional $10 was rung up. ‘The filing fees go into the county salary fund, except for $1 which goes to the law library fund and it is now being p! to reduce the library allotment to 50 cents, as the library has more than it needs. Three dol- lars is set aside for judges salaries and ;.hedremunder for the general salary und. The first divorce under the six weeks law was granted today at Minden, Nev,, to Mrs. Harriett Whitney Glenn, form- erly of Watertown, N. Y. She was given a decree from Roland M. Glenn on grounds of non support. It was at Minden that Mary Pickford, screen actress, obtained her divorce from Owen Moore some years ago. The Glenn case was heard today because the Minden court is not bound by the strict calen- dar rules obtaining in Reno. Among the actions instituted here was a suit by Evelyn Loew Burrill, a granddaughter of George F. Baker, New York financier, against Edward Living- ston Burrill, jr. Notables Make Application. Mrs. Catharine Stone Hoyt, New York society woman, asked a divorce from Richard Farnsworth Hoyt; Doro- thy Draper, interior decorator, sued George Draper, and Ruth Ledyard de Rham of New York asked legal separa- tion from William de Rham.

Many of the new cases will not be ready for trial next week, for sum- mons must be served where the plain- tiffs have not already received power of attorney from the other spouse or an- swers have not been filed.

MOSQUITO BREEDING PLANNED TO TREAT INSANE PATIENTS (Continued_Prom First Page) only seven years ago, the malaria cure for the brain malady is now being used throughout the United States, Dr. Wil- liams said, with the result that from 15 to 35 per cent of the sufferers from a hitherto incurable disease “get well and go back to live useful lives for per- haps 15 more years. Dr. Bruce Mayne, named by Dr. ‘Willlams to organize the difficult job of artificially breeding the mosquitoes on a large scale, will leave next week for a strain to be bred. Laboratory work will be conducted at some spot to be selected in the South and also at the National Institute of Health here. Among many experts trained in ex- terminating mosquitoes, Dr. Mayne was selected as being especially adapted to coaxing them to live under artificial conditions. His fellow laboratory work- ers credit him with having induced highly temperamental fleas to eat prop- erly after weeks of effort by others had proven unavailing. Thus & great ex- periment was saved. ‘Will Be Bred in Cages. Dr. Mayne said his methods of pro- ducing & purebred malarial mosquito might follow the general lines used by the late Dr. Baer of Baltimore in grow- ing antiseptic maggots to cure osteo- myelitis.

F. D. — SOON Southern State to select the mosquito [ QU Reporter Tactics | Get Untiedt Story After ‘Experts’ Fail| PR Sam Bledsoe, 'Associated Press Writer, “Scoops™ Great Interviewers. Before Washington correspondents attained the dignity of that high stand- ing, they were mere newspaper report- ers and all of them were brought up on the theory that life's chief aim is to “get the story.” All but one of them must have for- gotten it yesterday in the pursuit of an interview with Bryan Untiedt, the hero of the Colorado blizzard. Since Bryan has been in Washington he has been surrounded with so many kings. queens, presidents, secret service men and all that sort of thing that the newspaper reporters haven't had a shot at interviewing him. But taking into consideration the power of the press, Secretary to the President Joslin, who used to be a nmewspaper man himself, promised the correspondents at the White House that Bryan would be duly presented for an interview. ‘White House Men Expert. Now, White House correspondents are not ordinary correspondents. They do things in a big way. As there are s0 many of them, it was deemed appro- priate that a committee—or was it a commission?—should be appointed from among them and the members would interview Bryan and pool the results for the delectation of the rest of the cor- respondents and of the American public in general. Six of the sharpest inter- viewers in America were selected, men who never miss a word, who can see significance in a remark about the weather and who, with a “yes,” “no” and “I can't discuss that,” can sit down and produce three columns on who will be the next Speaker of the House, the next President of the United States, | and can give In advance the contents of any report, the results of any survey, or the opinions of any man, woman or child, regardless of whether the reports have been written or made, and regard- less of whether the man, woman or child is dead or alive. Interview Is Refused. With sharpened pencils and great masses of white paper, the Committee of Six Members of the White House Correspondents’ Association Chosen to Interview Bryan Untiedt, walked sedately into the office of Mr. Joslin and solemnly awaited the interview. Mr. Joslin then threw what the Com- mittee of Six would call a “bombshel Bryan had decided not to be inter- viewed. Before he came to Washing- ton he had signed up for a series of articles or one article with a Denver paper. He decided he could not break his_promise. Mr. Joslin, who used to be & newspaper man himself, refused to ask him to break his promise, as a promise is a sacred thing. The committee of six, however, thought different. Bryan was public property. What about the taxpayers> What about the White House lending iteelf to commercialism? What about this? What about that? Commiitee Talks—Reporter Works. Mr. Joslin, a former newspaper man, was not to be cowed. He refused the interview. When the exchange of views and opinlons grew hot, Mr. Jos- lin refused to discuss the matter fur- ther and did what the committee of six would ordinarily term “abruptly terminating the interview.” ‘The Committee of Six Members of the White House Correspondents’ As- sociation Chosen to Interview Bryan Untiedt turned on its heels and left the room and went into a huddle, from which came the pronouncement that “something should be done.” A meeting, it is understood, will be called. A resolution, even, may be passed. In the meantime an Associated Press reporter, Sam Bledsoe, did what an reporter would do. He fol- lowed Bryan to the station and got an interview.

He's an awfully nice man and when you get to talking to him a little bit you forget all about his being President. Yes, I told him about us getting caught in the snow.” The boy had begun to talk freely, but he grew silent under questioning about his experiences during the blizzard. Bryan's face lit up at the mention of Mrs. Hoover. “She's awful nice,” he said en- thusiastically. ~ “She ’does everything she can 1o make you feel at home, She's just as fine as she can be. “And so was everybody else for that matter,” he added" diplomatically.

Surprised as they were binding the manager of a_ gasoline station whom they had just held up at the point of a revolver, two bandits were arrested and’ held at the fourteenth precinct police station early today. They will be questioned in connection with the robbery of the post office station in the old St. James Hotel, 484 Pennsyl- vania avenue last Thursday. ‘The men, Richard L. Miller, 22 years old, of 1631 Thirty-fifth street, and Lee B. Leamon, 23 years old, of 2109 F street, were arrested by Policeman War- ren D. Wyant of the fourteenth pre- cinct. Policeman Walked By. ‘The policeman was walking past the gasoline station at Wisconsin avenue and Windon place, when he heard a noise in the office. Looking through the window, he saw two men trussing the manager, Clarence J. Muse, 210 Ninth street northeast, with a rope. As Wyant entered the office one of the men threw a pistol on the floor. Both he and his companlon surrendered peacefully. Bandit Had $15. ‘The men were taken to the police sta- tion, where they were held for investi- gation. Leamon is said to have had $15 in_his pockets. Muse told Wyent he was alone in the office when the robbers entered. One of them covered him with a gun, he said, while the other obtained a length of rope from the rear of the gasoline station and proceeded to bind him. ITALY HITS CHANGE ON NAVAL BUILDING Note Given Paris and Tondon 0. K's Proposal to Alter Replacement Quotas. By the Associated Press, ROME, May 2.—Italy’s contention | that there must be no major change in the tripartite naval accord as it was originally accepted was reiterated in a | note sent tonight to Paris and London. | The reply to the French and British | proposals makes one concession which does not alter the text or operation of | the agreement. It accepts the British suggestion for re-examination of re- placement tonnage needs at & confer- | ence in 1935, but it stipulates that any | replacements approved for France also must be approved for Italy. The note takes the position that the agreement obtained by the British ne- gotiators at Rome and Paris must siand without alteration. It characterizes what the French call an “interpreta- tion” of the text as an “alteration.” Italy emphasizes a point which Pre- | mier Mussolini made at the time the| accord was_announced—that real dis- | armament means reduction in the build- | ing program. The note contends that what the French propose would in- crease tne annual tonnage from 27,000 to 40,000. TWO SLAIN OVER $1.50 Father and Msan Victims of Shoot- ing at Cedar Hill, Tex. DALLAS, Tex., May 2 (P).—A quarrel over $1.50 tonight was blamed for the fatal shooting at Cedar, Hill, Tex., near here, of David W. Sink, 61, and his son, Miles F. Sink, 32. Lloyd Plummer, 25, surrendered to Dallas officers after the shooting, late today, and was charged with murder. He refused to make a statement. Acquaintances of the trio said the younger Fink asserted Plummer owed him $1.50. LIBERTY AT LIBERTY Neither Police Nor Jail Officials Seem to Want Liberty. George Liberty, colored, is out of jail. No one seems to know, least of all Liberty himself, how he got there in the first place. For three days they hauled Liberty to Police Court, each time returning him to jail The thing was getting monotonous. Liberty felt so, and by and by a deputy marshal agreed. Wondering what to do with a prisoner like Liberty, the marshal conceived the notion of asking him why he was in all. 4 Liberty sald he was sure he didn't know. Neither did any of the precincts. 8o the marshal took Liberty before Judge Isaac R. Hitt vesterday. “1f they reaily want you,” the judge sald, just before he deprived the mar- shal of Liberty, “they can come and get you again—consider yourself at liberty.” ALLEY SQUALOR HERE IS SCORED BY WILBUR IN RADIO FORUM TALK (Continued Prom First Page) Wilbur sald, “seven days after taking office we undertook to put a stop to speculation, overdrilling, depletion of our reserves and loss of Government Toyalties through overproduction at a time when there was no need for the oil. “Over 12,000 permits, or over two- thirds of those outstanding, have been canceled for non-compliance with the liberal requirements of the law. Dur- ing all this conservation effort, which precipitated over 200 law suits to relax it, we were astonished to be charged, without warning, with giving away some $40,000,000,000 worth of oil shale lands. As I recall, none of it was claimed to have stuck to our fingers, tut our alleged generosity was reproved in 14 syndicated articles by an employe. “We were subsequently able to learn that he had been paid $12,000, or 50 cents a word ,to do the job, provided he stayed on our pay roll until he fin- ished it «nd resigned in righteous in- dignation; $6,000 if we caught him at it and discharged him.

Seventeen of the 22 were coples of a circular letter which Bishop John M.

The chairman made public correspondence with the bishop, which the latter said it was important that he attend the sessions of the Gen- eral Board of Missions of the Methodist Church at Nashville next week and asked that the committee meeting be delayed a day or two. Replying, Senator Nye said the com- mittee felt the bishop's presence would not be required at the hearing. that it would forward a transcript of the pro- ceedings to him, and that Wednesday was the only ‘date satisfactory to all committeemen. ‘The committee is investigating the disposition of $65,300 turned over to Bishop Cannon in 1928 to oppose Alfred E. Smith in Virginia. Bishop Cannon has protested to the committee that it lacked authority to proceed. Writing Nye from Louisville, Bishop Cannon expressed surprise the hearing daie was one on which he said he had previously informed the chairman he had another important engagement. ‘You can well understand,” he wrote, “that in a matter affecting me person- ally as serlously as this investigation does, it is to be expected that I should be‘dpreaent to hear everything that is said.” BISHOP HAY IS TEXAN.

BY GEORGE HALADJIAN. By the Assoclated Press. LISBON, Portugal, May 2. Harassed on all sides by Portugal's avallable military and naval forces, and deserted by the comrades on whose support they had counted, the rebels who set up & junta government at Funchal, Madetra, Just one month ago, capitulated today. Gen. Souza Dias surrendered uncon- ditionally to Magalheas Correia, the in) College Served | minister of marine, who commanded the attacking force, winding up a month of “warfare” in which the casualties on both sides were small and during which no civilian or foreign resident was injured. Bombed From Three Sources. By land, sea and air the Federal troops bombarded the rebels, but de- spite the natural fortifications of the island the junta forces were outnum- bered and tonight government troops took over while the rebel leaders sought sanctuary at the British legation. The surrender was good news to President Carmona, for it came on the heels of May day rioting in which the police had to turn a machine gun on & crowd, killing two men and wound- ing a score of others. ‘The situation seemed serfous and the cabinet sought shelter in the 3d Regiment barracks, but the cheers with which Lisbon received the news from Funchal enheartened supporters of the government and mitigated fears that the revolt in Madeira might spread to Portugal itself. ‘The government maintains that trou- ble here and in the islands has been fostered by “the League of Paris,” head- ed by the President’s political enemies. Documents which the government says it has seized indicated that a revolt was to have begun in Lisbon this morn- %e Funchal campaign got under way slowly because few men-of-war were available. Passenger ships and other vessels were pressed into service as transports and the emergency navy met off Maderia a week ago. Resistance Ts Slight. ‘The commander insisted upon imme- diate surrender in tw~ conferences with the Bishop of Punchal, who served as mediator, then he issued an ultimatum at the expiration of which he opened fire on the city. A landing party put the rebels’ wire- less station out of commission under cover of the naval guns, and from then on other forces were put ashore to move upon Funchal from both sides. Naval guns left in Madeira by Ameri- can forces after the World War did not help the rebels much, and when the federal troops marched in the people received them with wild acclaim. Police today seized four cases of bombs near the Agricultural School here, and reports from Ajuda and Alcantara sald that bombs were found also in sev- eral places about those suburbs, as well as an abandoned car loaded with ex- plostves.

FUNCHAL, Madeira, May 2 (#).—The three days of sporadic campaigning dur- ing which the government forces sought to drive the rebels from their positions at Machico cost three rebel lives and less than a score of wounded. Ambulances brought the wounded here to be placed in hospitals. During the engagement on Wednesday the Vasco da Gua, 56-year-old fighting ship, dumped over 100 rounds from her fs\;mdmw the rebels’ positions on the and. The rtebels hoisted the white flag here at 6:30 a.m. today, amid great re- joicing and the British bluejackets from the cruisers London and Curlew disem- barked to protect the lives and property of their nationals pending the establish- ment of a recognized government. The rebels were ordered to remain in their barracks and their officers to re- port to Sao Lourenco preparatory to surrender. A big rush then began as the for- eigners, who have been quartered in three hotels which were made a neutral zone, began to return to their homes. No property damage was suffered here.
