GUINAN AND GANG BROADWAY BOUND Famous Hostess 8ays “They Will Be Inviting Us Back” as Boat Sails. By the Associated Press. HAVRE, France, June 3.— Texas Guinan and her dancing “gang” sailed as first-class passengers for New York today on the liner Paris at the expense of the French Line. “Broadway, hers we come!” they shouted as the liner headed out to sea. The troupe was conveyed to the pler n two French Line busses. Miss Guinan, accompanied by her manager, John Stein, made a brief visit to the offices of the line and joined the party at the pler by taxi. They were all in good spirits, shout- ing “They will be inviting us back!" ‘The American hostess, wearing a velvet riding habit, black patent leather boots and a white beret, boarded the boat amid cheers and was followed by “Bunny” Weldon, chorus manager, car- rying her jewel box. Blamed Poor Management. La Guinan had a heated argument with her European manager, Willlam Edelston, before embarking, saying that her failure to enter the country was due to “poor management.” Harry Aslett, the Londoner who pro- d marriage to Miss Guinan, with the understanding that she could enter England as his wife and then divorce him, arrived this morning from Ply- mouth to press his case. She was too pled with sailing arrangements to give him much attention, but she said, “Stick around, there may be some- thing doing yet.” He hovered unno- ticed in the background as the enter- tainers went aboard through a crowd of curious persons. “So Long, Sucker.” ‘l the steamer pulled out Aslett was d.uwnmme on the pler, with “So long, Bucker,” as Miss Guinan's only farewell. He said he didn't have money enough to get back to London. “I was a sucker to come 3,000 miles to lo to jail.” M{u Guinan said, just before she left, “when every jall in America is waiting for me.” She is not angry with France, she eaid, and she threatened to come back again. ‘Three of Miss Guinan's girls, who took French leave yesterday, returned this morning to the Transatlantic Hotel, Ont for “Little Ride.” They were Norma Taylor, Evelyn Martin and Mabel Swartz. They were found sitting on the doorstep of the hotel about dawn and said they had “just been for a little ride.” They said they left Havre yesterday afternoon in the Automobile of Pietro Crespl, Dallas, Tex., millionaire, and drove through several towns, dining in one of them. They spent the evening in a dance hall, they said, and then went out to the hotel, but were unable to rouse a sleeping detective or to open the locked door. La Guinan ordered them to bed with the words “Keep quiet,” reserving her reprimand until later. U. S. AWNING FIRES MAY BRING OUSTING Hoover Dismissal Order Looms for All Employes Guilty of Neg- ligence. President Hoover may be asked to direct an executive order against Gov- ernment employes responsible for fires in Government buildings, many of which have occurred during the last year. Tha fires, according to Lieut. Col. 8. Grant, 3d, director of public hufldlngs and public parks, have been all too frequent, and the executive order which his office may ask the President to issue would direct the heads of divi- sions of the Government to dismiss em- loyes guilty of starting fires negligent- y. Many of th> fires, it was pomnted out, are started in awnings. Col. Grant, in his annual report, said that “notwithstanding the regulations issued by this office prohibiting the occupants (of Government buildings) from throwing matches, cigar and ciga- rette butts out of the windows of office buildings, and repeated attempts on its part to impress upon the occupants the importance of strict compliance there- with,” 20 awning fires occurred during the last fiscal year.
