John Huft, pastor of the First . Baptist church. The wedding was attended by members of the two families, in- cluding Mrs, Willlam Alexander Gas- ton, mother of the bridegroom, and Amos Pinchot, the bride's father. ‘The young couple came here from New York lite in the day and re- |turned te that city soom after the ceremony. Friends said they expect- {ed to spend a short honeymoon in Canada. Career Goes On The bride will not give up her stage career—a career she has re- nounced but returned to on several occasions—but will shortly begin re- hearsing for a production in which she is to have a leading part. Her husband, who is a few years her senior, will continue with his law practice and work on a new play he is writing. Since his gradu- ation from Harvard in 1923, the same year ‘that Miss Pinchot went on the stage, Mr. Gaston has written several plays. Miss Pinchot was introduced to the stage by Max Reinhardt, famous impresario, who met her on the Cunard liner Aquitania in mid-ocean and proposed that she take the role of the nun in “The Miracle.” 8he seemed made for the part and was | praised by the critica When the road to theatrical fame appeared opened to her she dropped |'from sight. Her mother, then in Austria, informed correspondents that her daughter was living under an assumed name in California and picking cherries on a ranch. Miss Pinchot denied the cherry picking story when she suddenly reappeared in New York in December 1926, but said she had worked in a canning factory. She also enrolled in the University of California and took a course in philosophy and literature. She explained her disppearance in this manner: “There is nothing mysterious about it. After “The Miracle’ I played stock in Rochester. Then I was sure I would not go on with it. Last sum- {mer I had nothing particular to do 80 I went west. I never had any dreams of going on the stage any- way; it was Max Relnhardt's idea. No, I don't hold it against him. It ‘was good sport, but the fact of the | matter is that I just do not care enough for the stage.” VOLCANO IN ERUPTION Moscow, Jan. 37 UM—The Sheve- liutch volcano, on the east coast of Kamchatka, long regarded as ex- tinct, has suddenly become intense- ly active. IYOUTHFUL ROBBER T0 ESGAPE CHAIR Mlso Not Likely to Spend Life in Prison Oklahoma City, Okla., Jan. 27 (@ ~—Dave Brown, youthful Oklahoma bank robber, who accepted a death sentence almost a year ago rather than reveal the identity of his ac- complices, will not go to the electric chair. Arguments in Brown's appeal were heard in the state criminal court of appeals yesterday and Judge James 8. Davenport announced that the at- torney general, county attorney of Alfalfa county and defense attorneys | had stipulated that the death sen- tence should not stand. Under the joint request fog a modified sentence it was indicated Brown also would escape & life term in prison. . Brown pleaded guilty to the rob- bery of the bank of Jet. The death sentence was imposed by District Judge Charles A. Swindall at Chero- kee after Brown had disregarded the court’s warning that he could ex- pect no mercy unless he named his accomplices, After he had been placed in the death row at the state penitentiary the youth changed his mind and testified against Pearl Black, who was given a sentence of 15 years for implication in the holdup. This fact was taken into consideration by the prosecution in recommending len- iency.

Seventeen members found inside at the time were arrested but later re- leased, Are Against Government General Cruz sald the police had been informed by one of the serv- {ants at the seminary of propaganda there against the government. The orders for the raids on the schools were issued, he sald, because of reports that the religious laws were being violated in the achools visited by the imparting of religious teaching in violation of the constitu- tion. Drastc measures would be tak- en in all similar cases, he asserted, because the government was deter- ed when the pelics descended upen it. The demonstration was shert- gust 19 when Deerfield and Mo- Guire were the aggressors in & gun fight between the two police factions. Deerfield and McGuire were ousted a8 policemen last June by the city commission and Kirkpatrick and Lawson were appeinted as their suc- cessors.
