BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., Dec. 30.
(AP) —Will Rogers, rope and dope
slinging mayor of this suburban
layout of movie residences, today
made a‘ tentative date with Bebe
Daniels to come out to his munici
pality some evening and commit a
high class murder.
“My town of Beverly Hills,” said
the recently elected mayor in ex
tending the invitation, “needs, first
of all, an. attractive murder. Noth
ing less than this will bring it the
notoriety it should have. This mur

American Good Will
Flyers At Vera Cruz
VER ACRUZ, Dec. 30 (AP)—Led
by Major Herbert A. Dargue, com
mander of the United States army
pan-American flight squadron, the
j four planes which were held up for
la week at Tampico, reached Vera
! Cruz thi.s afternoon. They were
| the New York, St. Louis. San An
j tonio and Detroit. The San Fran
cisco in command of Captain Ira
C. Eaker, flew to Vera Cluz last
'week, after futile attempts had
been made to recall her on the ori
ginal start of . the squadron at
Tampico. %
The American aviators swept
down to the bay and found a safe
mooring place; then the flyers
came to shore while bands played
the nation anthems and the au
thorities and populace gave them a
great reception.
Major Dafgue said the flight
from Tampico to Vera Cruz, a dis
tance of 136 miles, was made with
out incident. The flying time was
2 hours and 40 minutes. Favorable
winds added speed to tlie Ameri
can planes for the. first 100 miles
from Tampico; then came head
winds, and for more than 30 miles
the aviators had to face powerful
air currents. Tonight they were
enjoying themselves at the naval
academy.
Puerto, Mexico, is the next goal,
and if all goes well, the flyers will
hop off at 9 o’clock tomorrow morn
ing. • • ,
The bandits called themselves
revolutionists, and carried off Wi
ley qxul Connors from the little
mining town of San Francisco del
Oro, where the Americans were
employed iu a British owned mine.

Party Head Says
Feminism Shall
Remain In Politics
NEW YORK Dec. 30 (AP)—So
long as there is in any part of the
world any disermination, whether
legal, educational or otherwise I
against women, the national wo
man’s party will remain “proudly
feministic” Mrs. Elizabeth Rogers
asserted today.
Mrs. Rogers, who is a member of
the national- council of the party
made the statement in reply to the j
recent plea by Miss Sarah Schuyler
Butler that women in active poli
tics “drop their feministic attitudes
and get down to practical political
work,” starting with ward and dist
rict work for their political parties.
Feminism, instead of being out of
date, has “-just begun it’s battle”
with the initial victory of a wo
man’s suffrage in this country,
Mrs. Rogers said.
Miss Butler, daughter of Presi- ]
dent Nicholas Murray Butler of
Columbia university and prominent
in womens state Republican poli
tics, asserted that it was her be- j
lief that the days of “feministic!
crusaders” were over.

EX-BALLPLAYER
MAKES GOTHAM
OPERATICDEBUT
NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (AP)—A
voice that once shouted “Are you
blind?” when sandlot umpires call
ed a strike, boomed through the
Metropolitan Opera house today-.
The • voice was that of Jcisepu
MacPherson, who four years ago
was playing semi-professional base
ball on vacant lots in Nashville,
Tenn. MacPherson, 26 years old!
; and with only three years of vocal
j training as preparation for the*
test, made his debut, singing tlie
, King in Verdi’s “Aida” at a bene*
1 fit matinee.
Praised By Critic.
Tullio Serafin, Metropolitan con
ductor under whose agile baton
the performance was given, said of
MacPherson’s voice:
. “It is pleasing and rich. Tliere
is much promise. He ; sings; with
security, even under of
a debut.” V •
Merfibers of the cast called the
debut a success.
Bapk l stage, in a two-by-four
dressing robnii, MacPherson sat,
completely relaxed, after the sec
ond act, the last in which the king
appears.
“By Golly" he said, “that 'was
worse, than coming up to bat with
the bases loaded arid two out and
the score tied in the ninth.’’
Graduates in 3 Years
Gaeteno Delucca, Nashville vo
cal insl rue t or, who snatched Mae-
Pherson from a minstrel show or
ganised to earn money for his
team to buy balls and hats, trained
him arid put him in the “major
leagues" in the three years, dash
ed into the dressing room to find
his pupil in a predicament. Mac-
Pherson, king’s whiskers, regal
robes, sandals and crown still on,
was being unharnessed. But he
didn’t know how to got the paint
off his face. It was hi,s first time
in make-up, and Delucca had to
borrow a box of cold cream and
supervise the removal of the
king’s whiskers and monarcliial
wrinkles.
“1 am sure* glad that’s over,"
MacPherson said, when he got his
six feet something into street
clothes. “And now I'm going home
to see my wife and Tiabv.” 'Mrs.
Louise MacPherson, his wife, war
confined lo lied with a broken hip
that made it impossible for her to
attend her husband's dehut. Bul
letins on the debut were given
Mrs. MacPherson by telephone,
friends acting as announcers.

Home But IsToo Poor
To Live In It At All
TORONTO, Out., Dec. 31. A
palace more gorgeous and palatial
than any eastern potentate ever
built, stands on a high hill almost
in the center of Toronto. It is
lifty, spacious, beautiful—and emp
ty.
For years it has been on the
market —to no avail. No one has
yet come along rich enough to
buy and maintain such an elabor
ate mansion.
So the people of Toronto, when
they look up and sec its gray stone
walls and tiled roof, shrug and re
riiark, “Pellatt’s Folly.”
“Pe.latt’s Folly'—it was Pellatt s
dream for years. A dream that he
finally' made come true —and that
brought him financial disaster.
Sir Henry Pellatt, who hecamb
a broker at 15 and rose to become'
a wealthy power magnate, a finan
cial giant with a finger in many a
pie, longed for years for a castle
of his own —-a castle like the old
mediaeval towers of Europe, only
modernized and made more home
like.' ■
Shortly, before the war. he be
gan to build it.
Free Rein to Fancy
No expenses was spared. Sir
Henry gave free rein to his fancy.
Everything that he had always
wanted in his house was built.
Fifty rooms the big mansion
contains. There are 25 open fire
places. 15 bathrooms, a library
wherein 500 people could sit at one
time, three bowling alleys, a
gymnasium, a 200-foot rifle range,
a swimming pool, a monster con
servatory with a ;stained glass
roof, a main hallway through
which an automobile could be
driven.
There are three bronze doors
that cost $14,000 apiece. There

are bedrooms of every shape
square, circular, octagonal; there
are SISOO mantel pieces, and a
kitchen, as Sir Henry himself ex
pressed it, “big enough to feed a
regiment.”
That remark provides a clue, in
cidentally. Sir Henry for years
was commander of the Queen’s
Own Rifles, crack Canadian in
fantry regiment. He commanded
the Canadian contingent at the
coronation of King Edward and
has been aide de camp to various
Canadian governors-general.
There is a regimental barracks
in one of the basements of the
castle, a fine shooting range 200
feet long, three bowling alleys, a
gymnasium and swimming pool es
pecially for soldier guests.
The Gorgeous Stables
Perhaps the lord’s fancy played
more, freely in the stables than
even elsewhere. Over the entrance
is a vaulted dome. The stables
cost $200,000.
Even the water buckets are of
teakwood with hoops and handles
of solid brass.
The stable room is of a rare tile
which has the sheen of fine jewels.
A writer of mystery tales could
write a hundred plots from the
strange secret passageways, pan
elled walls, and hidden rooms that
Sir Henry built. Through one 500-
foot underground tunnel an auto
could be driven.
Casa Loiha—that’s the name Sir
Henry gave it—has had parties at
which 3000' were served in the
great conservatory.
Biit what will become of the
great mansion—a veritable Arabi
an Nights structure?
Who can afford to revel in its
magnificence?
Not Sir Henry, he has found. Mis

RATIFICATION IS
URGED BY DAVIS
NEW YORK, Dec. 30 (AP) —John
W. Davis, condidate for president
on the Democratic ticket in 1924.
on a platform opposing ratification
of the American Turkish treaty
negotiated at Lausanne in 1923, now’
favors such ratification.
Tn a statement issued today
through the genei'al committee of
American Institutions and associa
tions in favor of ratification of the
treaty with Turkey, Mr. Davis
writes that in his judgment “the
evidence in favor of ratification is
overwhelming.”
The committee also made public
a letter from Charles E. Hughes,
former Republican presidential can
didate, reaffirming his opinion that
the treaty should be ratified.
“What is there in the present
Mr. Davis asks after as
serting that opponents of ratifica
tion offer no alternative that prom
ises to better things, “to lend any
support to the belief that if the
treaty, which offers us equality
with other powers, is rejected, we
can negotiate by diplomacy or by
force a better treaty in its place?”
Asserting that it is not strength
but vanity utterly to ignore the
considered judgment of other sov
erign pow r ers, he says that America
must make its own decision, but
should in doing so consider the
fact that at least 27 nations have
since 1921 concluded treaties with
Turkey on terms no more favor
able than those proposed to us.
Mr. Davis sees another reason
for ratification in his belief that
the American diplomats who ne
gotiated the treaty are entitled to
the presumption that they acted on
the host information they were
able to obtain and negotiated the
most favorable treaty the circum
stances allowed.

HEART ATTACK
CLAIMS HEAD OF ’
DEFUNCT BANK
MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 30 (APi
—Harry Cohn, 78, financier and
president of the closed Savings
Bank and Trust Company, died un
expectedly of a heart attack, su
perinduced, it is believed, by the
closing of his banking house and
alleged defalcations of several
trusted employes.
The aged banker was found ly
ing on the floor of the basement
washroom of the bank today by a
clerk. He was hurried to a hospi
tal where he was pronounced dead.
Mr. Cohn's death was the second
tragedy of the bank failure. Clar
ence Henochsberg, assistant cash
ier, killed himself at hi,s home here
two weeks ago, after telling a
friend that he was short $300,000 in
his accounts.
Henochsberg’s suicide, coming on
the heels of the discovery of an al
leged shortage of $105,000 in the
accounts of Rush H. Parke, a clerk,
brought about the bank closing.
Since then two other clerk s have
been arrested on charges of em
bezzlement involving smaller
amounts. All are on bond to an
swer to the charges.
Mr. Cohn was one of the found
ers of the bank, organized 20 years
ago and rated as one of the strong
est financial institutions of the
city. Since the bank closed, Mr.
Cohn, despite his years, has taken
an active part in efforts to
straighten out it's tangled affairs.;
Worry and an overtaxing of his
strength is regarded a.s a contri
butory cause of the fatal heart at
tack.
