Additional depositions are to be taken on Mrs. Scott's behalf in the interval and, at the resumption of the case, these will be read along with that of Floren Dalaw, the Scott's Filipino servant, which has been held up because of a technicality concerning its certification. Mrs. Edna James Scott admitted under cross examination today that she had entertained in her rooms two "rivals" named by her husband. Harry Wyckoff, cashier of the Scott's Washington hotel, and Captain Billy "Jazzbo" Sumner, both were received by Mrs. Scott in her apartment and she also visited Summer in his quarters, she said. "But there was nothing wrong in that," she added. The dressing episode, in which Scott charges his wife was assisted by Wyckoff, was gone into and Mrs. Scott denied Wyckoff had helped her. "Harry just fastened a hook on one of the shoulders of my gown," she testified she told her husband. Visits of Maj. and Mrs. Harvey Burwell and Maj. and Mrs. John Herr to the Scott apartment in Washington, in Sept. and Oct. 1922, were also under discussion. Both these men were in the air service. Scott has charked that it was his wife's association with the military set and the officers at Fort Meyer, near Washington, that eventually drew them apart, especially after her European trip in May and June, 1922, when she first met Captain Billy "Jazzbo" Sumner. "Did you give Mr. Scott an explanation for each one of the charges he made against you on Dec. 23, 1923?" Atty. Irvine D. Canfield asked. "Yes." "Didn't you admit then that this young Wyckoff, the cashier of your hotel, had been in your apartment one day while you were dressing, and that he helped you get dressed?" "No, I told him that Harry just fastened a hook on one of the shoulders of my gown."

Jan. 6.—A storm of protest has been aroused in the German press by the allied note explaining the delay in the evacuation of Cologne. The ambassador's note stated the allies hold proof that Germany had not lived up to the Versailles treaty, but had continued the manufacture of war materials and the storage of arms and munitions in quantities far above those permitted by the treaty. The only exception to the general protests today was the Verwarnants, which said: "Compliance with allied criticism and redressing of their grievances if justified, is the only way towards evacuation." The Nationalist press, on the other hand, assails the government's "weakness," and urges an immediate reply, charging the allies with flagrant violation of the Versailles treaty. They point out that Germany's silence may be taken for the reticence of a guilty conscience. Tagblatt calls the note a "sheep proteck." Germans, the organ of Chancellor Marx says it "reveals a policy of brutal force."

That not all the personal pride is stored in the heads of women was proven through the presence of a dozen men, all of them routed beyond their desire. Not the youngest men alone, either, for several white heads dotted the scene. Before the appointed hour of 2:30 the Knights of Pythias hall was filled to the last chair with these overweight men and women who have resolved with the coming of the new year to throw off superfinous weight as one of their worst habits. Just to show how eumbersome is a lot of fat, Dr. McCoy had the class do simplest exercises for a moment or two and when the painting, breathless class had dropped into its chairs, it was more firmly resolved than ever to "entail and grow thin." Telling the two only reasons why persons get fat, Dr. McCoy explained just what sweets, starches and fats pile up in the form of fatty layers. Simplifying, he said starchy tubers and cereal foods were on the taboo list of foods. *No woman should weigh more than 140 pounds to have a perfect figure and the best of health.* said Dr. McCoy. He not only told of proper food combinations, but gave a list of simple exercises which are death to fat and consequent retarded locomotion and body action. One Democrat Joins With Republicans in Backing Chief Executive WASHINGTON, Jan. 6—President Coolidge's policy of drastic government economy was endorsed by the senate this afternoon when it sustained his veto of the $68,000,000 postal pay bill. The measure was vetoed by the president last spring because it failed to provide the revenue for increasing the salaries of postal employees. Since then, he had announced he would approve the wage increases if the revenues were provided in the same bill. The vote was 55 to 29, in favor of passing\the bill. One more vote for the bill would have resulted in passing of the measure over the president's veto. Administration leaders announced immediately they would amend the Moses compromise postal bill, to strike out the wage increase provisions, and hasten its enactment to provide the $68,000,-000 revenue thru higher postal rates. On today's vote, senators changed their votes as compared to the original enactment of the bill. On that occasion, but three senators opposed the measure—Fess and Willis of Ohio, and Borah of Idaho, all Republicans. Of those supporting the president, 28 were Republicans and one Sen.-Dial, of S.C., a Democrat. The Republicans were: Senators Ball, Delaware; Borah, Idaho; Bursum, New Mexico; Butlet, Massachusetts; Cameron, Arizona; Capper, Kansas; Cummings, Iowa; Curtis, Kansas; Ernest, Kentucky; Fernald, Maine; Peas, Ohio; Greene, Vermont; Hale, Maine; Harreld, Oklahoma; Keyes, New Hampshire; McCormick, Illinois; McKinley, Illinois; Metcalf, Rhode Island; Norbeck, South Dakota; Oddie, Nevada; Pepper, Pennsylvania; Phillipsa, Colorado; Smoot, Utah; Sterling, South Dakota; Warren, Wyoming; Watson, Indiana; Weller, Maryland; and Willis, Ohio. COOLIDGE POLICY AT ISSUE TODAY WASHINGTON, Jan. 6—The Coolidge administration's policy of drastic economy was at issue in the senate today with a vote pending on the president's veto of the postal salary bill. Administration leaders rallied their forces to save the president from being over-ridden and to sustain his decision that no postal pay increases can be allowed without a direct provision for surplus funds. WAYNE WATKINS, in her suit for divorce filed in Santa Ana, are substantiated. For Watkins, his wife's suit alleges, threw her into the family bath tub while they were living at Fullerton last September, and as a result black and blue places appeared on the woman's head, she contends. Her husband had a violent temper, Mrs. Watkins adding that on Dec. 10 he threw her on their bed, then jumped on her and implanted his knuckles on her back, the episode not ending, the wife's suit charges, until Watkins had threatened to kill her. Christmas day Mrs. Watkins went to Anaheim to be with her mother, where she now is residing, and her husband threw her on the running board of his auto and held her there while he drove off, the suit contends. A similar alleged incident at Sawtelle was blocked, the wife charges, when some of her friends interceded on her behalf. The couple married in October, 1923, and separated last December 23. APPEAL TO KING LONDON, Jan. 6.—Appeals were being made today to King Victor Emmanuel as guardian of the nation's constitutional rights, to take steps to restore civil liberty through Italy, according to private advices received here. It is understood that the king, however, is fearful that any effort of the throne to force Premier Mussolini to give up his power would result in serious conflicts, particularly in northern Italy, between Fascists and regular troops. For the present the king is said to be unwilling to take any step which might bring on civil war, even for a few days. The anti-Fascists say that Mussolini knows of the king's dislike for the possibility of a civil war and that therefore he continually encourages threats of a revolution by Fascists. Throughout some northern cities local Fascisti are reported to be mobilized and making sporadic attacks against opposition newspapers. Masoule lodges, Catholic organization, Republican and Socialist clubs. A Class Ad is best little saleman. Telling the two only reasons why persons get fat, Dr. McCoy explained just what sweets, starches and fats pile up in the form of fatty layers. Simplifying, he said starchy tubers and cereal foods were on the taboo list of foods. "No woman should weigh more than 140 pounds to have a perfect figure, and the best of health," said Dr. McCoy. He not only told of proper food combinations, but gave a list of simple exercises which are death to fat and consequent retarded locomotion and body action. So much enthusiasm was demonstrated that every member of the class wa made happy when Dr. McCoy's intention to return Thursday, Jan. 16, was announced. Each one realizes he or she is a little weak when it comes to giving up the good things with which he has been wont to fortify himself merely to satisfy taste, and is sure that Dr. McCoy's presence in a week will strengthen the determination and be an incentive to keep steadily to directions as published in the Plain Deal each day. Photographs were made of the class in an exercise and a group at the scales. The pictures will be published in a day or two.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—The Coolidge administration's policy of drastic economy, was at issue in the senate today with a vote pending on the president's veto of the postal salary bill. Administration leaders rallied their forces to save the president from being over-ridden and to sustain his decision that no postal pay increases can be allowed without a direct provision for raising the necessary revenues. A direct vote on the veto will be reached by the senate at 4 o'clock this afternoon under a unanimous consent agreement. The outcome is still in doubt. Both Republican and Democratic senators attacked the president's position on the pay bill. They contended the bill should be acted upon on its own merit and pointed out that the president himself was now in favor of the postal wage increases. The only issue here," said Sen. Hiram W. Johnson, Rep. of Calif., "is whether the United States is big enough, generous enough and decent enough to pay a living wage to its employees." President Coolidge continues to bring pressure to bear on senators to sustain the veto and then enact the new compromise postal bill, providing the same wage increases but raiding the revenue from increased postal rates. In its first effort to arrange this substitution, the administration lost by a vote of 51 to 36. The president's attitude met with ensue from Democrats, Sen. Copeland, Democrat of New York, charging the executive with attempting to "becloud the real issue."
