NEW MADISON
SQUARE GARDEN
TEARING DOWN OF OLD STRUC
TURE WILL START SOON
CLOSING FESTIVAL
(Rv Ansociated Press)
NEW YORK. Jan. 15.—Before an
other new year the Madison Square
Garden of today will be no more. A
little way up town however at Seventh
avenue and Fiftieth street, will loom
a new structure bearing the same
name, although it will be some dis
tance removed from Madison Square
at Twenty-Sixth.
The Garden, the scene of the shoot
ing of Stanford White by Harry K.
Thaw, the democratic convention of
1924, and numerous championship
boxing bouts, circuses, rodoes and al
so cycle races, will begin its journey
into the past May 6. On that day
the statue of Diana, which has looked
upon New York making enormous
strides’, will come down.
Tex Rickard, who came out of the
West to make the Garden the world’s
sport center, with the aid of John
Ringling, has announced that its pass
ing will be mourned by a three-night
festival, with officials of the national
and state governments in attendance.
Out of the pages of history will
come the champions of boxers in the
old days, the greatest of the bicycle
riders of the past, circus performers
and track and field athletes.
The champions of today at least two
of them, are expected to risk their
titles during those eventful three days.
Harry Greb, Pittsburg’s middle weight !
champion and Eddie (Cannon Ball) i
Martin of Brooklyn, recently crowned
king of the bantam-weights, are sched
uled to appear.
Malcolm Wilson, Alaska representa
tive of the Mutual Paper Company, is
headed north on hte Alameda, due in
Seward Friday night.

LOW TIDES AND COLD
DAMAGE OYSTER CROP
OLYMPIA, Jail. 14.—Heavy damage
to the oyster crop in and around Olym
pia. has resulted from the hard freez
es during the past few nights when
tides have been lowest. While no
accurate estimate of the extent of the
damage has been made, oyster men
say they have ascertained it will be
quite heavy.
The exceedingly low tides of this
week, culminating in the lowest last
night, left the oyster beds exposed for
several hours, during the coldest mo
ments, killing large numbers of the
bivalves. The lowest run of tides
and the hard freezes rarely come at
the same time
CASHIERNAMED
IN DIVORCE PLEA
(By Associated Press)
ALPENA, Jan. 14.—That a code of
signals by telephone and in writing
was used by Mrs. Scott in communi
cating with a cashier of a fashionable
Washington hotel and apartment
house, was the testimony of Congress
man Frank D. Scott of this city, the
second of his cross-examinations by
attorneys for Mrs. Scott in the suit
of the congressman for divorce on the
grounds of extreme cruelty. At the
request of the attorneys, Mr. Scott re
lated the story of Mrs. Scott’s affair
with the cashier as he had heard it
from Miss Jane L. Kennedy, his pri
vate secretary, who, he said, received
information from Mrs. Scott first
hand when Miss Kennedy stayed with
Mrs. Scott during the weeks that Mr.
Scott was home in Michigan, cam
paigning prior to the election of Nov
ember, 1922.
He testified that one Sunday morn
ing during his absence she had the
hotel employe’s assistance in dressing
while she prepared to go to dinner
with a congressman from Illinois and
his wife who lived in another apart
ment in the same building. The con
gressman's wife phoned to her that
she had but a few minutes left before
dinner. He said that while Mrs.
Scott adjusted some of her clothes the
hotel man fastened other garments
and assisted in other ways that she
might not be late for dinner.
FOREIGN POPULATION IS
BLAMED FOR REVOLTS
RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 14.—Eter
nal antagonism displayed by the pop
ulation of Rio de Janeiro toward all
Brazilian government, particularly no
ticeable during the disorders within
recent months, is due to the large
foreign population in the city, many
Brazilian newspapers contend.
Over 20 per cent, or something like
230,000 of the inhabitants of Rio de
Janeiro, were born in other countries,
coming to Brazil for the most part
from Portugal and Spain.
The state of Sao Paulo, whose cap
ital city was the site of a rather seri
ous revolutionary outbreak last July,
likewise has a large foreign popula
tion. Eighteen per cent of the total
population of that wealthy coffee pro
ducing state, or approximately 830,000
persons, are not native born Brazil
ians.
The most orderly state of Brazil is
Piauhy, which numbers only 236 for
eigners within its borders.

of Longford, who is twenty-one years
old, and whose mother is a daughter
: of the seventh Earl of Jersey, was
j married the other day to Miss Chris

livened the wedding party with a clip
| ping from a speech the Earl made
! w-hen he wras at school at Eaton,
j “I have a terror of women,” he said
“They are like fire—nice to have in
a room, but one is apt to get one’s
fingers burned.”
The young earl took it like a good
sport and admitted the treats wrere on
him.

LEAP YEAR FAILS CALIFORNIA
SPINSTERS ACCORDING TO ALL
FIGURES OF STATE OFFICIAL
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 34.—Leap
year, supposed to be the time when
spinsters pop the questions and lead
their victim to the altar, according
to an announcement today by L.
E. Ross, director of the State Bu
reau of Vital Statistics, who said
that 32.2 per cent, of all brides
in the State during the last twelve
months have been girls between the
ages of fifteen and twenty years,
girls who in all probability did not
exercise their leap year preroga
tive.
Girls between the ages of twen
ty-one and twenty-five years made
up 29.5 per cent, of the brides,
Ross said. But this is not an in
ciease over the 1923 records. Wo
men between twenty-six and thirty
actually had less luck in gaining
husbands during the leap year than
women of the same age last year,
Ross said.
Ross’ figures showed that women
over the age of thirty-six were no
more fortunate in attaining the mar
ital state than women in the same
catagory have been in years gone
by. He drew the conclusion that
they either shirked their opportun
ities for leap year proposals or
found their selected men unrespon
sive.
ACCUSED U. S. DISTRICT
ATTORNEY FIGHTS BACK
(By Associated Press)
NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 14.—Assist
ant United States District Attorney
Walter D. Van Riper, who, under in
structions from Mrs. Mabel Walker
Wiliebrandt, assistant attorney-gen
eral in charge of prohibition en
forcement, has been forbidden to
handle liquor cases, yesterday an
nounced that lie had refused to ac
cede to Attorney General Stone’s
request ;.hat he resign on January 15.
In a ten page letter, Van Riper,
referring to Mrs. Willebrandt, said.:
“There will always stand out in
this case the undeniable fact that a
proud woman, angered by newspaper
publicity commending the district
attorney for his work in the Wee
haken case, and inspired and spur
red by the loose talk of those who
had political axes to grind, lost her
head and published a malicious tele
gram which she dared not attempt
to substantiate and which she lack
ed the courage to repudiate.”
The telegram mentioned by Van
Riper was one from Mrs. Wille
brandt ordering that he be barred
from handling liquor cases.
The department of justice prob
ably will move speedly to remove
Van Riper from office.
If you don’t get your paper before
six o’clock please phone us and one
will be sent by special messenger.
