A-12 LONG AND CYR ROW HEADED FOR COURT Ousted Lieutenant Governor j Says He Will Abide by Law in Battle. ■t the Associated Presi. BATON ROUGE, La., October 16. — Louisiana's gubernatorial revolution , apparently is going to be decided by j battles purely legal. Gov. Huey P. Long, the besieged, j rested his armed guards of State high- ■ Tray police today following the ar,- ' nouncement of his lieutenant-governor, Paul N. Cvr, chief pretender to the executive's chair, that he would leave the matter to the courts. Cyr, who voluntarily took the Gov ernor's oath at Shreveport and de manded that l.ong abdicate because of his recent election to the United States Senate, said last night he had "no in tention of going to Baton Rouge to start trouble." Abides by Courts. He made the announcement in a campaign speech at Alexandria (he is seeking election to the governorship In the next voting) and added he was go ing "to abide by decision of the couits, because I am a law-abiding man.” Th? third claimant to the Governor's office. Walter L. Aldrich, unemployed resident of Shreveport, who took the oath after Cyr. and warned he, too. would file an ouster suit against Long, remained silent today. He previously said h? was coming here to "take pos session” of the office. Meanwhile, there was an open sea son on the office of lieutenant governor. Lieutenant Governorship In Doubt. Alvin O King of Lake Charles, presi dent pro tempore of the State Senate, was on the pay roll as lieutenant gmer nor after Long had Cyr's name struck off as he laid claim to the governor ship. But he was only one of those who said the Job was theirs. He has taken the oath. L. D. Smith of Benton claimed he had as much right to the office as King and also took the oath to become "one of the lieutenant governors.” E. H. Reed, a Shreveport groceryman, re marked that times were "sort of hard," and that he also expected to take the oath for lieutenant governor because "the third Governor ought to have a lieutenant governor.” Cvr is seriously continuing his de nunciation of Long and his plans for filing his ouster suit. At the capitol Long called the situation a "comedy of modern politics.” Long Names King. Long has recognized King as lieu tenant governor and King's creden tials as such have been filed by Miss Alice Lee Grosjean, secretary of State. When the credentials of Cyr and Aldrich for Governor arrived, however, the secretary of State announced the Intention not to file them away be cause she did not consider the Gov ernor's office vacant. Yesterday Long said his fear of an Invasion of his administration by Cyr, should the chief executive lea\e the State, now was gone. "Cyr,” he said, “is out.” Cyr. elected iieutenant governor as ; Long's running mate, once was his i close friend, but they had disagr?e ments, notably over an execution, which resulted in political enmity. PRECEDENT BACKS LONG. Several Senators Have Served as Gov ernors While in Senate. By the Associated Press. Ample precedent exists for the posi tion of Huey P. Long in retaining his ] post as Governor of Louisiana after his election to the Senate. Half a dozen Senators in the past j are shown by records at the Capitol I to have continued serving as Governors ' of their States after being chosen for ' the Senate. Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wis consin, father of the present Senator, chose to continue as Governor for more than a year after his election to the Senate, and nearly a year after his term began. La Follette was elected for the term beginning March 4. 1905. but remained as Governor of Wisconsin until Janu- ' ary 4. 1906, . Others who did likewise were Senator Johnson. Republican. California: former Senator David R Hill of New- York, former Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, former Senator James L. Alcorn of Mis sissippi atid former Senator Philip Allen of Rhode Is'and. Several Senators have postponed tak ing oaths in order to serve a little longer I in the House of Representatives. Sen ator Glass. Democrat. Virginia, was ap pointed to the Senate in November. 1919, but continued as Secretary of the Treas ury in President Wilson's cabinet until February. 1920. Gov. Long is also following precedent by refusing to accept his Senate pav while continuing a.s Governor. All of those in the past did likewise. Long has notified Disbursing Officer Pace of the Senate that he does not want his pay or other allowances until j he takes his oath. There will be noth- , ing to prevent him then, if he should wish, from accepting the accumulated 1 back pay. HUNT TAXI THIEF Police Also Seek Two Colored Men ! in Attempted Robbery.

HOOVER GIVES PEDIGREE TO FURNITURE OF WHITE HOUSE First Lady Studies Memoirs and Letters of Predecessors and Compiles Histories of Many Pieces. By the Associated Press. Because Mrs. Herbert Hoover has lived there, the White Hcuse has be come richer In its own lore. The gold piano, the chairs and beds and tables, can now tell a more con nected tale than ever before of when and whence they came. For each boasts a little key number that clicks with Mrs. Hoover’s card catalogue. Regrouping furniture according to its period when she first entered the White House as mistress. Mrs. Hoover became enamored of the tradition of*the place. With research workers helping her, she has now delved into Library of Congress records relating to the Ex ecutive Mansion. She has collected and hung tn its great, upper hall all avail able prints artists have made of It. She has studied old photographs to trace particular pieces from room to room. She has had new photographs made to Identify the furniture in Its present setting. She has even had dis carded White House rafters whittled by wood cutters Into art objects—to be given away on special occasions with a poem written by herself. For a home always historical, the White House has been somewhat lack ing in written history and many were the gaps Mrs. Hoover had to bridge. But memoirs and letters left in the archives by other Presidents' wives who j had felt the urge to write of It helped I her. These went far back as Abigail ! Adams, first to claim it as her home in 1800. Mrs. Adams' off-quoted complaint of the "superb scale” palao? of yawning fireplaces and unfinished stairs, in which ! bells to summon servants were "wholly wanting.” must have delighted Mrs. Hoover hugelv. For report has it that in the Intimacy of a little family party. wh"n gifts were to be bestowed. Mrs. Hoover had them hung on a clothes lines in the east room in memory of Abigail Adams’ plaint "The great unfinished audience room I make a drying room of—to hang up the clothes in.” On* 1 of the most complete and clear accounts was that of Mrs. William How ard Taft, aided in her memoirs by her daughter, Mrs. Helen Taft Manning. The woman who had the imagination to conceive the cherry blossom display which has b come Washington's annual i boast, lost no whit of the meaning of the White House. Her vivid descriptions of interior scenes include many articles easily recognizable. The memoirs of Presidents also have had their place, Theodore Roosevelt be ing one inclined to go into helpful detail. Accurate Inventories have always been kept of White House furnishings, but they were of the purely practical “one red sofa, one green chair,” variety, no historical notes being appended. It re mained for Mrs. Hoover to give the antiques their proper pedigree. MUNICIPAL CONTROL OF CABS FAVORED Chamber of Commerce Delegates Authorized to Offer Recommen dations at Hearing. Recommendations looking to munici pal control of taxicabs yesterday were • authorized to be made by delegates ! from the Washington Chamber of j Commerce to the public hearing into | the taxi situation, called for next Mon- j day by the Public Utilities Commission, i This authority was vested in the ; chamber's delegates by its Executive 1 Committee, which met in the Homer Building.

SPANISH DIVORCE DEBATE SCHEDULED Issue Expected to Rival That Which Led to Resignation of Zamora. By the Associated Press, j MADRID. October 16.—A constitu | tional article, which would legalize di , vorce in Spain for the first time in j centuries, will be debated In the Na | tional Assembly tonight. The Assembly already has introduced the issue, article 41, together with a number of amendments, and it is ex pected that the discussion will rival in intensity that which led to the resignation of Don Nioeto Alcala Zamora as President in favor of Don Manuel Azana. The religious section of the constitu tion was completed last night and an article guaranteeing freedom of wor ship was adopted It provides for “liberty of conscience and the right to practice any religion compatible with public morals." Catholic and agrarian Deputies from the Basque and Navarre provinces boy cotted the Assembly in protest against recent legislation divorcing Catholicism from the government and threatening church orders with dissolution. In consequence, the Constitutional Draft ing Commission said it would advocate moderation in enforcing the new edicts while public opinion v .?s divided. The new minister of interior, Casares Quirog;, took a firm grasp on his pow ers by fining two Bilbao newspapers about $450 each for publishing articles which were described as boosting the followers of the late Don Jaime of Bourbon, Carlist pretender to the throne. r .
