LA MAIE'S CASE MORE TANGLED (Continued from page one) of his wife, Helen La Male, to Lou Harris, negro and "king" of the Juarez underworld, for 3500,000 today became a modern Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, as federal authorities continued their nation-wide investigation of the senational "wife sale" case. As letters in possession of federal investigators unfolded the asserted dual life of La Male, prominent throut Oklahoma and Texas as a film director and dramatic school head, another surprise was sprung in the case when a second "Mary Ella Holder," asserted correspondent named by Mrs. La Male in her divorce complaint against La Male, appeared in Los Angeles. The woman telephoned C. E. Bush, attorney for Mrs. La Male, and laid claim to the name of Mary Ella Holder. She said she was a Hollywood film actress and had lived here for two years and that she does not know La Male. It was pointed out that a Mary Ella Holder, widow of a Dallas, Texas banker, was the woman named by Mrs. La Male in her divorce complaint. The appearance of a second woman by the same name and the discovery of a second Mrs. La Male at El Paso, coupled with the allegation that La Male occupied a home with a Violet Howler in El Paso made the case more tangled today. It was learned today that C. R. Walsh, from the New York office of the department of justice, has arrived here and assumed charge of the La Male investigations. A report was also current today that Harris was in Los Angeles or Long Beach.

"Con men," "banco artists" and others of the loud clothes and "slick line" brotherhood will not find a haven of rest and activity in Florida this winter if all officers in the state maintain the same views as Chief of Police Guy Hurd of this city. "I have prepared to keep this city clean of all 'confidence' operators during the winter-months, and this will not be the choice meadow for easy picking by the 'con men,' as it has been in the past," asserted the police chief. "Deals that were pulled in this community about two years ago outrivaled the most ingenious tricks of O. Henry's gentle grafters. But times have changed. Throughout the state law has started after the 'con men' with a vengeance."

S. Fawcett recently in lecturing on Russian farming. In the region where Fawcett spent the last college year on Sabbatical leave as a member of the American Friends' (Quaker) relief organization, the tractors were run by two shifts of Russian drivers, with lights on the machines at night and large torches at the ends of the furrows. Dr. Fawcett spent most of his time in one of the worst famine areas in the black soil steppe country about 800 miles east of Moscow. In addition to relief with food, clothing and medicine, the organization was engaged in an agricultural program of plowing large tracts of land with tractors and in bringing in horses from Turkestan. The invasion of this region by Kolechak's and Denkin's armies, immediately followed by the total crop failure of 1921, had resulted in a decrease in four months of 23 per cent of the population by starvation in an area just east of the Volga, 53 deg. latitude. Horses had decreased by 72 per cent, cows by 58 per cent, sheep and goats 78 per cent. The peasants who received horses were required to plow for other needy peasants in their village up to the cost price of the horse, but they accepted the animals with joy. Among the agricultural institutions of Russia, said Fawcett, are the Petrovsky-Riasomovsky agricultural college, with 2000 students, a few miles from Moscow, giving instruction of university grade, and said to be the only one of its kind in Russia. A number of the Russian universities, however, have scientific agricultural departments. This Moscow college maintains an agricultural experiment station on an estate of 2500 acres, 700 acres of which is cultivated land.

SEN PROTESTS AT U. S. WAR-CRAFT WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.—A protest against the presence of American warships in the harbor of Canton was received here today from Dr. Sun Yat Sen, president of the South China Republic, and made public by Ma Soo, Sun’s chief representative in the United States. Sun’s statement, which was addressed to “My Friends, the American People” expressed disappointment because no aid from the United States had been forthcoming for the South China cause, “but an American admiral with more ships of war than any other nation in our waters (comes) to join those who wish to crush us so that the republic in China shall perish. Dr. Sun said the revenues in the customs house at Canton now under the surveillance of foreign warships, belongs to his govern­ ment, after a proper share had been deducted for the liquidation of foreign debts. “We must stop that money go­ ing to the enemy to buy arms to kill us,” he declared, “just as your forefathers stopped taxation going to English coffers by throwing English tea into Boston Harbor. “Your present rulers may be within their rights to withhold from the cause of liberty in China, the rich assistance it bestowed elsewhere in the cause of human freedom, but it would be a crime and an undying shame if the naval power of America should be used for the forebile collection of customs revenues within the territory of my gover­ nment so that traitors and militarists might flourish in Peking.” Six United States destroyers and the cruiser Huron were ordered to Canton from Manila to join other nations in a naval demonstra­ tion to keep Dr. Sun’s troops from seizing the custom house.
