MARRIED FIFTY HUSBANDS
(From the Pathfinder)
In this day of record-breaking Adri-
*enne Gyot of Belgium steps upto claim
the record for the largest number
(Of marriages made by anyone in
monogamous country. In her list are
the names of 50 husbands, and she is
?till a young and beautiful blonde.
Adrienne did not exactly step up and
make the claim, but admitted it after
she was arrested at Brussels for big-
nmy. Her record showed that her man-
charming career started in her early
life at Mons, her native city. Becom-
ing conscious of her power, she went
ito Paris and there annexed her first
/husband, a wealthy one, at the age
of 19. From that time on she flitted
from one husband to another, marry
ing men of various nationalities, in
^eluding a few Americans. She was
®bout to attend her fifty-first wed
ding at Brussels when an ex-husband
yeeognized her. Adrienne argued that
flhe had a perfecp right to marry as
finany as she pleased.

OFFICER FIRED SHOT
THAT KILLED HOLMES
FEDERAL JUDGE SAYS
Amarillo, Tex., Sept. 20.—Stressing
the fact that he was speaking as a
citizen of the United States district
judge, Federal James C. Wilson today
characterized the slaying of John A.
Holmes, district attorney of Hutchin-
son county, as the most serious crime
in Texas in the last 30 years.
He discussed the slaying at a meet-
ing of the American Business club
here.
“It is my opinion," the judge said,
“that the hand that fired the gun
was the hand of an officer or had
official sanction.”
“If the crime was of officialdom
or had the sanction of officialdom,
it was straight-out, unadulterated
anarchy and smacks of treason.
“I "believe the whole thing is a
liquor-running and auto-running prop-
osition.” .
New York, Sept. 19.—Armed only
with lipstick and powder puff and
a surgical kit, Dr. and Mrs. Herbert
Spencer Dickey have penetrated the
jungles of South America in search
of a lost river.
The exploring Dickeys were in New
York today making plans for another
expedition next spring into the land
of head hunters and Indian savagery.
While Doctor Dickey was born in
Highland Falls, N. Y., he has spent
only 24 months of the last 30 years
away from South America. Mrs. Diek-
ey, a New York girl, met the surgeon
adventurer four years ago in Ecuador,
where her father owns the railroad.
They were married, and Mrs. Dickey
eagerly shares the dangers of the
jungle with her husband.
“My wife was the first white wo-
man to cross the Andes from Ecua-
dor to Brazil by the new path we
discovered,” the doctor declared proud-
ly. “She traveled 400 miles on foot
and 2400 miles by boat and mule.”
Within 300 Miles Once.
Doctor Dickey is seeking the un-
known source of the River Orinoco.
Once he got within 300 miles ot it,
which he believes to be somewhere
in the Pariraia Mountains between
Peru and Brazil.
The trail-blazing surgeon has been
five times across the Andes and ex-
plored the full length of the Amazon.
He has discovered unknown tribes of
headhunters, been wounded by pois-
oned arrows and once was tortured
by Andoke Indians.
“I have had little trouble,” he said
modestly. “I always go unarmed and
find my surgical kit is the great-
est passport.”
“I find lipstick and powder puffs
my greatest passport,” smiled Mrs
Dickey. “I bring a supply of them
from the 5-and-10-cent store and give
them as presents to the native In-
dians.”
If the tribe appears timid, Mrs.
Dickey will hang her gifts on a tree
for them.
Getting Acquainted.
“I do not use cosmetics myself in
the wilds, except when I wish to get
acquainted with the Indians,” she said.
“Then I make crosses on my cheeks
with a lipstick.”
She said the natives showed more
curiosity about her than antagonism.
They would stand around her gazing
at her knickers. Then they would take
off her hat and gloves and examine
them for hours,” she said.
Rich Ex-President.
Gen. Jaun Vicente Gomez, former
president of Venezuela, is richer than
Henry Ford or John D. Rockefeller.;
according to Doctor Dickey.
“He is incredibly wealthy, owning
every plantation and steamship line
in the country,” said the doctor. “He
has so many head of cattle he could
not begin to count them.”
The doctor does not believe there
are any “white Indians” in South
America. He said there are albinos
and certain freak types of Indians
but no “white Indian” tribes.
When Indians Kill.
Dickey went into the wilds with
Casement in 1909 and 1911 in South
America. He termed the Irish patriot
a remarkably unusual pei*son who
could not stand cruelty or oppression.
“His Congo and Putumayo exper-
iences had shown him so much of
these that he was a monomaniac on
the subject,” said Doctor Dickey. “J
have seen the tears stream down his
cheeks when he saw a mule handled
roughly.”
Doctor Dickey does not believe that
Fawcett, the missing British explorer,
was killed by Indians in the Brazil-
ian jungle.
“I believe that Fawcett died of
malaria,” he said. “The Indians don’t
kill except against enemy Indians or
when someone bothers their women.”

POLLARD TO STAY ON
DUTY INDEFINITELY^
AUSTIN, Sept. 28.—Attorney Gen-
eral Claude Pollard will continue in-
office “until his successor is duly
qualified,” he said today.
“I am merely following Hie consti-
tution,” General Pollard said.
Although he gave his resignation
is 180 years old and still runs well.
No successor had been appointed.
General Pollard said he advised
This clock has been in the possess- _ J ] /J •
inn of the Arbnckle family for 180 °f h“> -ntenton t«
years and it came to Mrs. Gallman
last summer as a gift from her father,
W. E. Arbuckle of Elgin.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Fromme returned
Sunday to their home at Elgin after
a visit in the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Millican. Mrs.
Fromme spent last week here and
Mr. Fromme came up Saturday.
The price of perfume has increased
100 per cent recently notwithstanding
many brands are shoddy and of short
life, together with a punk scent- The
price of perfume didn’t worry the so-
ciety editor of The Journal when he
was a young and handsome youth. He
.dealt only in Mr. Hoyt’s, which could
be purchased in every odor from new
mown hay to garlic, and when he
cologned up at the first of the court-
ing season the odor lingered on the
lapel of his coat until the geese flew
south. Such perfume now, even at an
advanced price, would be far cheaper
than the imported brands, some of
which smell like a horse’s breath, stain '
the shirt front and leave the guests
in doubt as to whether or not the
wearer indulged in his regular Satur-
day night bath. The Journal favors
better brands of cologne, with a com-
plete revision of odors—Belton Jour-
nal.

HOWELL SAYS HOOVER
COULD ENFORCE LAW
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Senator
Howell, Republican, Nebraska, said
in the senate Saturday that prohibi-
tion could be enforced in Washington
if President Hoover would insist up-
on it.
The president, Howell asserted,
could call in the District of Columbia
enforcement officials and threaten to
employ the secret service to hunt out
law violators.
Mr. Hoover could tell officials, the
senator said, “that if the secret ser-
vice gets the violators before you do,
you are out. The reason this thing
is not stopped is because there isn’t
the will to see it stopped.”
Senator Howell also declared that,
while embassies may be entitled to
have liquor on their premises, they
could not legally transport it into this
country.
