ROOSEVELT MADE HUNGARY MINISTER (Resigns Philippine Island Post - Pearing Misunderstanding Washington, Sept. 25 (P—A squall brewing in congress over Philippine affairs ever since the appoiatment ot Nicholas Roosevelt of New York to be.vice governor of the islands, appeared dissipated today through the acceptance of Roosevelt's resig- nation by President Hoover. Roosevelt, an editorjal writer and author of books dealing with Philip- pine affairs, found his appoin{ment blocked when it was prefented ¢ the “tenate in the closing days of |the last session. Extended hearings and a vigorous fight was promised by supporters of Philippine indepen- dence if his name came up aga®y this fall. They professed to see in his writings antagonism to their catse. Public burning of his works at gatherings of Filipinos in the islands and other demonstrations oc- curred. His resignation was tendered to the president yesterday on the ground that a controversy over his writings would complicate funda- mental Philippine issues. Mr. Hoo- ver immediately announcéd his ap- pointment as minister to Hungary. J« Butler Wright, now at Budapest, will go to Uruguay to replace Min ister Leland Harrison, who has re- signed. Roosevelt had net taken ug his Philippine duties. In his letter of resignation Roose- velt said Phillpping leaders had broadcast misrepresentations of his writiags which twisted his expressed attitude on Island affairs. He re- of friendship for thé {slanders, pointing out' he had accepted the post, anxious to further Philippine-American tions which had for years been his special study. Expresses , Appreciation In accepting the resignation, Mr. Hoover expressed apprecidtion of the “unselfish spirit” which prompt- ed Roosevelt's withdrawal. The latter served the States abroad twice previously. was attache gt the Paris embassy from 1914 to 1916. After the armis- tice he was a member of the Aus- tro-Hungarian fleld mission of the American commission to negotiate peéace. He spent the war period in the 3224 infantry, holding the rank of captain. He became an editorial writer for the New York Tribune in 1921, later joining the New York Times staff.

The movie “It” girl looked once at 3 morning newspaper in which | Rogers admitted that he -had “‘sort of” introduced her at Calneva and announced that she was ready to -Her explanation of why she would not pay four chegks for $13,900 was made tersely. She was unacquainted with the gambling table procedure and found out too late that 50 cent pieces given her to play with repre- sented $100 each, she said. Thought Bill $70 The statement inferred that even when Miss Bow left the tables she | thought she had lost only 139 chips | valued at 50 cents each, or a total of 8§70. But, she said. when the checks| she had signed appeared at the bank (\ they were for 139 chips at $100 each | or a total of $13,900. | 1t was Miss Bow's bankers who | a note asking the bank to ed her that the gambling house claimed almost $14,000 and she or- dered payment stopped. “As I said in my first statement, if these peopls think they have an honest claim against me I will glad- ly receive an ylegal document that sent them to my attorney, W. I. Gil- bert,” Miss Bowe stated. Pledge of Silence Removed “I have not previously given de- tails concerning the affair at Cal- neva becavse I did not care to mix sonal affgirs. However, since he has seen fit to make a statement to the papers there appears to be no reason for me to keep quiet. *I had never been to Lake Tahoe, 80 not being at werk on a picture I decided to take a short trip with my | | | | my bankers and they called me up |and T found out for the first time \Mrs. ‘William Lowell Putnam secretary, Miss Daisy Devoe, to Lake Tahoe Tavern, which everyone knows is a very fine, respectable place.

After | we had dinner Mr. Rogers went to | one of the gambling tables arnd naturally we went with him. « | “I began to play a little at a game called ‘21" which they called there Black Jack. They gave me some 50 cents pieces to play with and I signed some checks in blank, telling | the dealer to fill in the amount cl‘ the 50-cent pieces he had given me. | There were four of these checks. l Each Represented $100 | “It now seems they claim these 50-cent pleces represented what | they call $100 chips, and they put| enough in the checks to amount to that ‘When the checks reached my Los Angeles bank, they called me and said the checks had a slip on them telling the bank to ‘wire fate of these checks.’ | “This attracted the attention of that this gambling house claimed I had lost and owed them nearly $14,- 000, so I told the bank not to pay the checks.” Miss Bow was both silent and out of sight all day Wednesday. Then Will Rogers was located and casual- ly admitted that he had invited her | to have dinner with him and Rex Bell when she visited their location. “But as for introducing her at the gambling place I don't think it was hardly that” he said. “Intro- ducing Clara around would be like introducing Herbert Hoover to the United States senate or Col.
