In police court today he pleadéd not guilty to charges of the bfeach of the peace and injury to private property, denying the testi- mony. of thé state’s witnesses, but Judge M. D. Saxe fined him $15 and ©edsts on the second charge, suspend- ing judgment on the first. Officer McCarthy testified that he was detailed to !investigate a com- plaint about Landino's activities and be obscrved that he had been drink- ing. Questioned by the officer as to the reason for damaging the house wond: furnishings, he said he was mad. ot Peter 8tavrides,. a roomer in the. genement where - the window glass ‘was broken, testitied that Landino called and asked to see “Jerry,” who lives there. When told he was not at home, Landino used vile language towards Jerry's wife, Mrs. Bertha Bennett, and insulted Btavrides, be- sides threatening to carry the bed out of the lattet's room. Mrs. Bennett testified that her husband had gone to visit his father and she told Landino so. Landino proceeded to call her vile names and otherwisé misconduct himself. Asked by Judge Saxe what the facts were which Tedl &P to the aftair, Mrs, Ben- nett said her husband ‘owed Landino $40 and he spoke to heF about it earlier in'the day. 8he assured him that the money would be paid, whereupon .. he made . an improper proposal to cancel the debt, but she repulsed him, she said. Landino admitted that he had spoken ‘to Mrs. Bennelt about the money; as he had waited six months for it and felt it was time he waa paid, but he made no improper pro- posal. He denied that he called any- one bad names, and accused the complainants of breaking the glass in the door. “How about breaking the furnl. ture in your own tenement?” Frose- cuting Attorney Woods asked him. “That's all right,” he replied. “T mean I did it. I know it's not all right. "The chairs were loose and 1 was taking them apart, that's all.” The only. other case before Judge Baxe -was that of Stanley Chase, charged with-being a fugitive from Justice, and & continuance until June 19 was ordered on account of the pendency of extradition proceedings.

NOSCOW CHURGH " BELS RE GO ’Ie!ting Pot Receiving Chimes of Russia Moacow, June ¢ P The “tin- tinabulation of the bells,” once pre- dominant among Russian noises, is gradually being drowned in the ever- increasing uproar of industrialism. Russia’s church bells are being de- tached from their belfries and cast inte the melting pot. Moscow Wwill soon miss thoso booming and jingling sounds that used to ring out at all times of day and night on the most varied occa- slonw. Soviet leaders assert that in- dustrialism must progress, and that religious sentiment can expect but little aympathy if its presence inter- feres with this progress. Statistics show that in the Soviet Union there are altogether about 50,000 churches. 1f one takes an average of about five bells to a church it means that Russia has about 250,000 bells; meaning in turn, as the Soviet papers put it, that “there are thousands of tons of bronze swinging idly in the air.” With Russia lacking in metal at this critical point of her industrial development, the government deems it absurd that so much copper and tin should thus go to waste. ‘A goodly amount of metal has already been collected from demolished churches and from those religious buildings that have been transform- ed into clubs, movie houses and other community centers, but there are a still thousands of belis hang- ing in belfries. Although the government has not definitely decreéu that bélls. of every description be taken from the churches and utilized in the factor- ies, there is a move in that direction. At least, a goodly portion of Russi church bells are doomed to disap- pear.in the near future. " Wireless telephone calls in England have increased by nearly 400 per cent during the last year. MARRIAGE PLANNED e, Mabelle Carey-Not {0 Wed Prince, Otber Report Saye Parls, Ju 4 (M—Friends of Mra, Mabelle Gilman Corey, divorc- ed wife of William E. Corey, Pitts- burgh steel magnate, insisted today she and Don Luis Bourbon, Prince of Orleans, would be married at San Remo near the end of June. They assigned as a reason for their not having done so sooner the request of Italian authorities for ad- ditional documents including certi- filed copies of Mra. Corey's divorce decree and other papers necessary to comply with Italian law. Report Marriage OF London, June 4 M—The London Daily Express today said the wed- ding of Mrs. Mabelle Gilman Corey, former wife of Willlam E. Corey, Pittsburgh steel magnate, and Prince Luis of Orleans had been postponed indefinitely. The Infanta Eulalia, mother of the prince, who is cousin of the king of Spaip, was quoted as the authority and is assigning as a rea- son for the postponement Mrs, Cor- ey's unwillingness to take up the simple life Prince Luis has found to his liking. “I bought my aon a villa at San Remo and he is living there now very happily,” the Infanta said, "He has taken to gardening. It is so much healthier. for him than the night life he used to follow. But now Mrs. Corey says she won't live with him down there and she wants him to come to her chateau. “He wants her to go to him. 1 don’t know which will give way but I hope not my son. Money Also Bothers “There Is also the question of the marriage settlement. They do mot agree about that either. Mra, Corey received £400,000 (about $2,000,000) from her former husband. She told him she did not think this such a tremendous sum of money after all. ‘It is only aboyt £700 monthly. Mrs. Corey is very charm- s point the Infanta was said to have checked herself suddenly and to have left the sentence and the interview unfinished. The engagement of the former s | stage beauty and the Spanish aristo- crat, who has been Paris for several years, was an- nounced recently.

Old Orchard, Main With Atlantic weather conditions unfavorable for an immediate take- off, Roger Q. Willlams and Lewis A.

Wish Frenchmen Success The dinner will ‘be held at the Country club here tonight. The American filers said it was for the purpese of wishing the KFrenchmen success and to friendship which has existed between the crews of the two planes since the Yellow Bird arriv. ed here 13 days ago. Arrangements were made to broadcast the event. It was planned to present the Paris-bound fliers, Jean Assolant and Rene Le Fevrs, with a silk American flag, the gift of newspapermen assigned to ‘‘cov- er their starts, Armeno Lotti, backer of the Yel- low Bird's flight, who has been in New York for the past few days, was not expected to e back in time to attend the dinner. Both planes were pronounced readiness for a take-off. In a test fight late yesterday, the Yellow Bird's motor developed a mis-fire and the crew feared serious difficul- ty was in prospect. It was learned, however. that a rag, placed over » carburetor intake to keep out sani, had not been removed prior to the fiight and had clogged the intake m & sccond flight, the motor function- stream. This was taken out and Ir | ed satisfactorily. Greea Flash Going Up Yancey sald that he and Williams would go aloft today, if there were enough clouds to permit a bit of “blind fiying" They expected to receive from New York today an ice warning indicator which possibly will be carried on the ocean flight. Both the Green Flash and the Ye! low Bird in their trial hops here ran into freezing conditions at a 6,000 toot ‘“ceiling,” which coated the wings of the planes with ice, ‘JENKIN'S EAR REGALLS PN ALONE marked Upon London, June 4 (®—The ldh\m(ss of British sentiment over the Alone” incident recalls by contrast the warlike frenzy swept the kingdom at the cpisode ‘m| happy | Similarity in Two Cases Re-| | which of “Jenkins' Ear.” which led to in ternational conflict 200 years ago. Capt. Robert Jenkins aroused the English nation in 1731 when he nounced that his ship *“Rebeoca’ had been hoarded by Spaniards on the high seas, and that he had been subjected to violencé and vile in- dignities. Before a fevered house of com- mona, Captain Jenkins dramatically related that the Spaniards had cut off his ear and told him to “take that and show it to King George.” The commons and all England were further inflamed by Jenkina' reply when someone asked him what he did when the Spaniards thua abused him. “Wnat did I do?” said the old salt. “I commended my soul to my God an my cause to my coun- try!” His country responded with an outery of war and for vengeance on the bearded Spaniards. For eight years Sir Robert Walpole, frist min- ister of George 11, successfully op- posed the war clamor, but yielded in | the ena. English historians today are pro- | fD\md skeptical of Captain Jen- | kins' v and orten call him an old jregue. It is remarkable that nobody sought to substantiate his story, or disprove it.
