Sued for Divorce. By Prince Eitel Friederich, 51, second son of Kaiser Wilhelm II; Princess Sophie Charlotte, 47, daughter of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. He alleged that "her continual efforts to secure employment in the motion picture industry have become a source of humiliation to the House of Hohenzollern." She promptly filed a counter suit accusing him of degeneracy. It was recalled that she married him in 1906, virtually at the command of the Kaiser, who wished to bring the vast wealth of the Oldenburgs within the Hohenzollern family. Should the divorce be granted she is expected to marry Baron Plettenburg to whom she was engaged before the Kaiser intervened. To him she wrote:

'It is a queer thing that I never tire of talking to you, whereas I've remarkably little to say to my husband."*

Died. Charles Clavier, 33, French radio operator; at Roosevelt Field, Westbury, L. I., in the crash of Captain Rene Fonck's giant Sirkorsky plane (see p. 32). His body will be taken back to Paris.

Died. Jacob Islamoff, onetime Lieutenant in the onetime Imperial Russian Navy, airplane mechanic; at Roosevelt Field, Westbury, L. I., in the crash of Captain Rene Fonck's giant Sikorsky plane (see p. 32).

Twelve sons of Islam carried the 600-pound red, leaden coffin containing his body for a mile and a half from a Westbury funeral parlor to the Sikorsky hangar. Upon the coffin was the now obsolete flag of the Imperial Russian Navy under the Tsar. Upon this were the crossed sword and scabbard once belonging to Lieutenant Islamoff. Glistening from a verdant cloth at one end was the golden star and crescent of Islam. As his bier rested on the three burned-out Gnome-Rhone-Jupiter motors of the demolished plane, Mullah Hussan, a Mohammedan priest, read with tears in his eyes the funeral service from the Koran in a voice like "that of a man speaking while trying to stifle a sob." After the service, again the bearers raised the coffin, marched the forty steps required under the Mohammedan ritual to a waiting hearse.

Died. General Jose Maria Orellana, President of Guatemala, 54, brave and completely successful revolutionary. Two months after his overthrow of the Herrera Administration (1922) he was elected to serve as President until 1928.

Died. Herbert Booth, third son of the late William Booth, who was founder of the Salvation Army, and brother of Commander Evangeline Booth of the Army in the U. S.; at Yonkers, of heart disease.

Mr. Booth had composed some 200 widely-sung hymns.

Died. Walter Trimble, 69, president of the Bank for Savings in Manhattan (a position which both his father and grandfather had held before him); at his home in Hewlett, L. I.

Died. His Eminence Cardinal Arthur S. Touchet, 78, Bishop of Or- leans, who established the rights of Joan of Arc to canonization in the Roman Catholic Church in 1909, who defended the French occupation of the Ruhr against the protest of German clericals; at Orleans.

Died. Charles Dewar Simons, 79, retired Manhattan banker and brother-in-law of the late E. H. Harriman; in Manhattan. His wife had died the week before. Mr. Simons is survived by two sons who have long spelt their name Simmons -- E. H. H. Simmons, President of the New York Stock Exchange, and one Harriman N. Simmons, of Elizabeth, N. J.
