AL SMITH FOREGOES ACTING TO WIN BRIDE
Katherine Dunn's Parents Couldn't Stand Stage Folks, so New York Got Al Smith
As Governor Finally
TOM LEE, NEGRO,
Mrs.
Al. Smth
tlly EA Service)
A LB AN 1, Muy U. Al timilli might
have been a great actor insteal
of a great governor if it hadn't been
for Katueriue Dunn, who is now the
gracious mistress uf the governor's
mansion here.
For back in the late nineties, before
Al mitu bad emerged fruia the pov
erty of the east bide and developed
those political talents that have made
him one of the moat picturesque fig
ures in the public eye, he was an
elocutionist and an amateur actor of
parts.
"itecitations by Alfred E. Smith,"
appended to the announcement of any
Weal entertainment, would fill the
benches of the parish house basement
or some little theater to overflowing.
The east side is full of people who
remember that expectunt huali thut
used to prevail just before he launch
ed into Hamlet's soliloquy or "The
Bells" and the deafenjug applause that
used to follow. And the governoL'
shows with pride today the notices he
received for his gallant interpretation
of Lord Travels iu "Hazel Kirke."
He Was Something of a Sheik.
It IK lit at the height of his popular
ity, when he was pretty much of a
shiek and feminine smiles weren't
hard to win, be was captivated by the
winsome beauty of Katherine Duuu.
Hut her parents weren't going to let
their daughter marry any actor. So to
gain their consent, which came re
luctantly, he first had to renounce the
foutlights.
Not that Al had devoted himself ex
clusively to acting. It was purely a
sideline so far as he was concerned,
but his reputation as a spellbinder had
dimmed his other attainments.
Aa a matter of fact he was a hard
working youth who bad supported his
mother and sister since he was l.J
years old. He had been a newsboy,
truckster, fish monger, and was now
a laborer at the Brooklyn pump
works. He was only a poor boy, and it
is only natural for parents to be am
bitious. And as a son-in-law he didn't
appeal to the Dunns. They soon mov
ed into the Bronx. This seemed like
the end of the world to Al because in
those days transportation was not no
rapid as now. For the next few years
he spent a great deal of time on
trains. And ho had lots of competition
to face, because Katherine was very
much of a belle and suitors were per
sistent. Whenever Al could afford it, be
dropped in at the corner drug store
and bought an ornate, beribboned box
of candy for her or a cornocopia of
flowers swathed in green oiled paper.
Once he wanted to be particularly
impressive, and having invited her to a
dance, he hired a dress suit for two
dollars and carried it up to her house
in a large box, picturing bow dazzled
she would be at his elegance.
In her brother's room, as he was
changing from bis .day outfit, he fouud
that while the coat and vest were nil
he could desire, the trouserB had been
Gov.
AL Smith
made for a short, stout figure, where
as he wss tall and slim.
He Needed a Friend. '
Katherine's brother came to the
rescue. He was built after Ala model
and had a dark blue pair of trousers
that fitted AL These were reluctantly
coupled with the black coat and vest,;
and thus attired Al made his nppear
anco at the ball.
"And got away with it,' he insists.
Eventually Al Smith worked up in
the world and won over the Dunns and
all their friends just as he later won
over a city and a state. His capacity
for making friends and keeping them
has been his greatest social as well as!
political aaset. '
They started housekeeping in a
tiny flat with no servant. The pretty
Katherine did all the housework and
sewing for the five babies and she
kept a close eye on all the account r.
But they were very happy. There was
never a time when Al didn't keep a
dog and as soon as the children were
old enough he bought them a pair of
goats and a wagon and atartrd th-j
menagerie that now includrs monkeys,
racopns. foxes and even alligators.
The Smiths are a devoted couple,
whose family life is typical of the
host American traditions, just aa his
rise from poor boy to governor is. Al
is us devoted to his wife as when he
courted her, her pride in her hus
band's acheivements is t hat of any
other adoring wife. And New York's
most popular governor has never re
gretted that he gave up a stage car
eer to win the girl he loved.

Umpires to Report.
That the combined naval nnd mili
tary forces now maintained at home
ennnot insure the security of the
l'carl Ilnrbor naval base against a
strong surprise attack, is expected to j
h. ciw.wn in tlin nmort bv Admiral
Coontz and Major General ' Hines, jvnl weaknesses will bo disclosed from
chief umpires. The actual problem . the report from llear-Adiniral Mne-
ment of the garrison air service, par
ticularly in long range scouting
planes, is wholly inadequate to af
ford the defending force necessary in
formation of an approaching enemy In
time to repel a landing.
Naval Side Weak
On the naval side it is predicted
that there will be ugain disclosed vi
tal weaknesses in the competition of
the fleet among them:
First, lack of modern post-treaty
high speed 10.000 ton light cruisers.
Second, lack of sea-keeping fleet
submarines.
Third, lack of large high speed air
plane cairiers and of adequate air
craft with the fleet itself.
In addition, it is explained that na
of the maneuvers was to test the suf
ficiency of personnel and equipment
of the peace time garrison of Oabu
island.
Defects which is is believed the re
port will point out in the army garri
son are:
First, that 13,000 men in the reg
ular army garrison and forming the
mobile defense is too small a force
by from 5,000 to 7,000 men.
Second, that failure to provide
adequate menus for interior commu
nication of Oabu which includes all al
lied elements of modern military
communications would have rendered .
doubtful the Bcore of even larger I
garrison in defending the island ,
against landing operations.
Third, that the present strength '
of the army air service detachments I
assigned to the Hawaiian Islands is j
not sufficient. (
Fourth, that the present equip-
)onald, who was associated with Ma
jor-Uencrnl Lewis in the joint defense
of Oabu. From that aspect it appears
prohablo to officers here that lack
of mine-planting submarines as a
part of the regular naval contingent
assigned to the Hawaiian Islands will
be emphasized. It is felt also that
the peace time naval forces at the
island should include modern light
cruisers and naval aircraft with the
surface auxiliaries necessary for long
range air operations. 4

Boat Slowly Turns
"While Captain Ken Lou was
coating about for a safo lauding
place," said M r. Sihaefer, the,
boat careened. Just beforo some
body yelled 'shea going over,'
and the boat slowly began to turn
on its side. lVople on tho upper
deck started climbing over tlto
turning side and about a minute
later the Norman was resting
bottom Bid'o up."
Dramatic Btories wore told of
the wild staggeriiiK of the Bt earn
er Just beforo sho went down.
She llBted heavily, from what
cause it has not been determined
and Captain Kenton ordered the
passengers scattered thinking too
many were on ouo side of the
beat. Sitting In the cabin a
group of Memphis engineers bent
on organization of a local chap
ter of the American Society of
Civil engineers. "Trim ship,"
camo the order. There was no
excitement. Tho engineers as a
man rose nnd without hnsto loft
tho cabin. Hardly had they
reached the deck before the ship
wildly careened to the starboard.

Three minutes later she was a
hulk lying upside down In the
stream, her passengers and crow
struggling in the swift water.
Woman (s Saved
Clarence Miller, 20, noted

mer leaped into tho stream nnd
swam ashore. Exhausted, ho lay
panting on the bank. Mrs. Charles
E. Shearer was struggling in the
water with her four yoar old Bon.
Miller leaped in ngain. Breasting
tho heavy current, he reached
the woman, tied a life preserver
about her and took the boy
ashore. It took two men to pull
him and tho boy ashore.
Charles E. Shearer probably
gave his life to savo others. Miss
Lillian Weyl of Indlannpolifl, Intl.,
who was visiting at the Shearer
home, tells the story. "Mr. Shear
er tied a life preserver around
me just before I was thrown Into
