GERSHWIN. NOT WAGNER, WOULD BE KING
“Operas are silly,” says Mary Garden, grand opera diva. *Td like
to see them jazzed." “Lohrengrin" looks strange doesn't it when com
pared with Gershwin's “Fascinating Rhythm/ Mary would substitute
brief flapper attire for heavy opera trappings.

battle in Dublin.
In AH Kinds of Scrapes
Outside the ring, he was con
stantly getting in trouble with In*
tlviduals and with the police. He
was of a happy-go-lucky nature
' and never avoided a battle, no mat
tor how much the odds were
Bgalnst him.
In Paris, after his victory over
Carpentier, he visited all the well
known American bars and attempted
to .pay for drinks all around to
strangers, including Americans,
many of whom refused. The French
resented this action on Siki’s part
after he had toppled their idol.
On another occasion, Un Havana,
he leaped put of a hotel window.
When picked up by a passersby,
be smilingly remarked:
*1 am Slkl, the great battler.”
Bitten By Lion Cub
Flkl was bitten by a lion cub in
Marseilles, France, just before ho
was to have fought the British
middleweight, Moore. It was thought
that this would prevent Blki from
entering the ring with Moore, but
tt didn't.
In the United States, the “Singu
lar Senegalese” frequently got into
trouble with the police and was
locked up on numerous occasions.
He went “broke” a dozen times,
* only to recoup his fortunes by an
other fight or two. He was well
liked by his friends but generally
regarded as his own worst enemy.
Slkl married Gertrude Amphier,
s Dutch girl, in 1921. He was.the
lather of one child, a boy.
There was some question about
Bikl's marriage to the Holland
tirl. At any rate, Slkl married
again. In July, 1924, he was mar
ried in the Municipal Building,
New York City, to Miss Lillian
Werner, a white woman. His son
ran by his first wife.

Drum explained "who commands

“The President. Secretary of War,

Through Drum the prosecution

FIKE DIPLOMA
DHLS BARED
Having pleaded guilty to using
the mails to defraud in connection
, with issuing “diplomas” of the Ori
ental University, Sam Kaplan, of
St. Louis, who represented the “uni
■ varsity” from February to Septam

seventeen applications* for degrees,
of which sixteen were for pharmacy

One of the applicants was a Rus
sian, he said, who had been in
the country only three months. All
applications were sent by Kaplan
to Holler.
Dr. Robert Adcox, also of St.
Louis, who also pleaded guilty,
testified for the Government. He
told of his correspondence with
“Bishop” Holler and declared he
had obtained only fivto applications
for degrees. Each of these applb
cants . was qualified, the witness
said, having regular medical de
grees, but they wanted degrees in
pharmacy.

he could get any degree from doc
tor of divinity to bachelor of arts.
LHOLLETTEIS
INDEPENDENT
Senator Robert M. La Follette,
jr., of Wisconsin, today announced
himself as an independent Repub
lican and renewed an oath of al
legiance t othe Progressive plat
form of his late father, in a letter
to the Republican committee on
committees.
If the Republicans of the Senate
desire him in their fold under these
circumstances. La Follette said, he
would be glad to accept the major
ity committee assignments given
him by Administration leaders.
The assignment of La Follette as
a Republican member of the Com
mittee on Manufactures, Indian
Affairs and Mining committees was
later confirmed by the Senate itself,
without debate, along with other
new Republican assignments.
La Follette sent his declaration
of independence' to Senator James
E. Watson (Rep.), of Indiana, chair
man of the Committee on Com
mittees. The letter read as fol
lows:
"My Dear Senator Watson,
“I am informed through the
newspapers of this morning that the
committee on committees has voted
to report my committee assign
ments to the Senate. Before this
formal action is taken by the com
mittee, it seems Important, that
there should be no misunderstand
ing as to my position.

the death of Robert M. La Fol

voters of Wisconsin at the primary,

in a photograph. In the opera, of course, tye coat would be very much minus.
