PRICE TEN CENTS
ALPINA COURT
REFUSES CON G.
SCOTT DIVORCE
ALPENA. N. Y., Sept. 28, (JP)—The
Alpena Circuits court of New York
refused Congressman Frank Scott and
wife both divorces, on Saturday.
Congressman Frank Douglas Scott
and Edna James Scott, his wife, sep
arated during Christmas week, 1922,
after an all night conference in the
Scotts’ Washington apartment had
failed to bring a reconciliation of
their differences.
It was a year later before Frank
Scott filed a petition for absolute di
vorce in the Alpena circuit court,
charging exrtvagance and misconduct,
both under the heading of extreme
cruelty.
In a cross bill Mrs. Scott denied
all the charges made by her husband
and counutered with allegations that
the congressman gambled “for high
stakes” and that his conduct in other
ways was of a nature making contin
ued living together impossible.
Mr. Scott, in attempting to substan
tiate his charges of misconduct, nam
ed three men: Captain Wilbur “Jazz
\ bo” Sumuners of the air service, Har
ry Wyckoff, a clerk at the Wardman
Park apartment hotel, Washington,
and an unnamed man writh whom Mrs.
Scott is alleged to have become ac
quainted while traveling in Europe in
the suummer of 1922.
The hearing of the case before
Judge Frank Emerick at Alpena early
■this year was interrupted to permit
both sides to obtain additional data
and was resumed early in August.
The testimony was fringed with stor
I ies of liquor-drinking and gambling
parties at Washington and the names
of several congressmen or former con
gressmen were heard.
On the congressional trip to Pana
ma aboard the steamer Cristobal,
Mrs. Scott charged that her husband
and other congressmen gambled and
drank. There was testimony that a
quantity of liquor was taken aboard
thesteamer at Panama and that what
was not consumed was unloaded from
the boat at Norfolk, Va., and taken
to the Washington homes of some of
4^ the congressmen. It was testified that
some of the liquor went to the Scott
apartment, although Mr. Scott denied
this.
That Mrs. Scott was “indiscreet” in
entertaining men guests in her apart
ment during the absence from Wash
tining of her husband was charged
by the congressman. This was denied
by Mrs. Scott for whom witnesses tes
tified that her conduct was orderly.
The Scotts w’ere married in 1914.
Mrs. Scott prior to her marriage wTas
\ a graduate nurse. Pending the de
cision made Saturday, on the petitions
Mrs. Scott has been allowed $50 a
month temporary alimony, in addi
tion to special allowances to enable
her to obtain depositions which were
used at the trial.

CANNED MUSIC
NEW MEANING
IN FAR OFF CHINA
TIENTSIN, China, Sept. 28. —‘Can
ned Music” has taken on a new mean
ing in far off China. Now the old
mind-picture of phonograph, earnest
missionary, and squatting circle of
heathens once evoked by the term has
been replaced by one in which the
“heathens” wear khaki and brass but
tons.
The new picture is the work of a
Regular Army sergeant of the Quar
termaster Corps, on duty with the
American forces in China. From tin
cans discarded by the camp cooks he
built a pipe organ.
Installed, after elaborate camouflag
ing, in the chapel of the camp, this
unique creation is luring with its dul
cet tones greater and greater num
bers of doughboys to the chaplain’s
service. The soldiers have heard
nothing like it since they left the
States, the chaplain says.

NO HOPE FOR MEN
ON SUNKEN SUB;
- BE RAISED TODAY
PORSTMOUTH, N. H., Sept. 28
—The Camden, flight ship of
the Atlantic fleet, which hurried
to the scene of the tragedy from
the Brooklyn Navy Yark, radioed:
“Divers report the S-51 resting on
her keel, inclining to port. All at
tempts to communicate with the
crew of the submarine have been
unsuccessful. There is a large
hole in the port side of the ship,
abaft the conning tower."
Fear All Aboard are Lost
NEW LONDON, Conn., Sept. 2S. (/P)
—No response from the interior of
the submarine was obtained by the
relief expedition and attempts to lift
the submarine with derrick ships
have failed.
There is only the faintest hope that
anyone will be found alive in the ship
as she was severely damaged during
the collission. A heavier derrick
ship, the Monarch, capable of lifting
two hundred tons, is expected to lift
the nose of the submarine by noon to
day. Divers who viewed the hole in
the side said there was no possibility
of anyone being alive inside.
NEW LONDON, Sept. 28. (&)—Thru
out the day Navy divers pressed their
inspection of the sunken craft but so
far have failed to find evidence of life
within.
The fleet of rescue craft is constant
ly growing larger and a large crane
is expected from New York at midnite
and an attempt will be made to lift
the submarine.
The navy ships continued to pump
compressed air into the hold, altho
officers are convinced the. hull can
not be raised in this manner, the sole
object of the work being to rescue
those entombed, or recover their bod
ies.
Seventy two hours is the most opti
mistic estimate of the duration of life,
providing the trapped men succeeded
in effecting entrance into an airtight
compartment.
CHELSEA, Mass., Sept. 28. (£>)—
Lira said he believed the only men
on Submarine S-51 who had a chance
were those in the engine room, the
