District Attorney and Deputy Plan to Make Trip of Investigation to Border Towns. f LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 23. Ad ditional data on the marriage of Bo dolph Valentino, film actor, and Winifred Hudnut at Mexicali, Lower California, May 13. and the marriage of Frank Mayo, film actor, and Dag mar Godowsky at Tlajuana, Lower California, October J, 1921, will be sought by Thomas Lee Woolwine, district attorney, and Tom McClel land, deputy. In a trio to the border towns, which, they announced today. they planned to make Wednesday night. Valentino Is under arrest on a charge of bigamy and awaiting a preliminary hearing here June A. No official action has been taken in the case of Mayo. "We propose to find out whether the criminal code of California can protect the sanctity of the marriage relations," said McClelland. "If these couples have lived to gether as man and wife since the ceremonies were performed, their re lation has been, in the eyes of the law, palpably bigamous. Section 1106 of the penal code reads: ' 'Upon a trial for bigamy . . . when the second marriage takes place outside of this state, proof of that fact, accompanied with proof of co habitation thereafter in this state, is sufficient to sustain the charge." It seems to me the intent of the law Is so plain there can Be no question ing of it." Valentino obtained an Interlocu tory decree of divorce from Jean Acker here January 10 last. Mayo married Miss Godowsky, the daughter of Leopold Godowsky, the pianist. four days after an interlocutory de cree had been obtained here from Joyce Eleanor Mayo. The California law does not permit remarriage until a final decree is obtained, a year after the interlocutory is granted. BAND FLOGS CRIPPLE HOLINESS PREACHER BEATEN BY GEORGIA MASKED MEN.

State Chairman Asserts Attack Will Be Made on Civil Adminis trative Code. PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle, Wash., May 22. Reduced taxation will be the keynote of the platform to be adopted by the democratic state convention in Olympla Wednesday, according to the prediction of George F.

Mr. Chris tensen hinted that the platform mak ers will be able successfully to refute the claim of Governor Hart and the state administration forces that the code has saved $1,000,000 in govern mental expenses in one year.

"In this way the people would know who the convention Indorsed for the offices and be guided accord mgly," he said. "I would not, how ever, shut out other candidates.. Any one should be perm tted to file who wanted to run. Mr. Christensen said he would op pose any radicalism in the platform but that it would be progressive enough to attract the many thousands of progressive republicans, who are not in harmony wit- the present re actionary policies of that party.
