Engaged. Viola Curwood, aviatrix, of Owosso, Mich., daughter of the late author James Oliver Curwood; and M. C. Loutt, aviator, of High Point, N. C.
Married. Anne Taft Ingalls of Cleveland, daughter of Vice President Albert S. Ingalls of the New York Central R. R., sister of David Sinton Ingalls, Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Aeronautics; and Rupert Warburton of London, Pennsylvania-born banker; in Cleveland.
Sued for Annulment. Donna Madelyn Nichols Taylor Garibaldi, by General Giuseppe Garibaldi of Stamford, Conn., civil engineer, antiFascist, grandson of the famed Italian liberator; in Nyack, N. Y. Said she: "The General seeks to annul our marriage . . . it is a much finer thing . . . than the business of an ugly New York divorce." Donna Madelyn divorced her first husband in Yucatan in 1925.
Sued. Banker Thomas Coleman du Pont, Broker Jesse Lauriston Livermore, Promoter Addison Mizner, and eleven others; for $1,450,000; by 93 investors in the Boca Raton, Fla., development fiasco. The suit alleges that Mr. Mizner created an impression of having $100,000,000 in hand; that the Messrs, du Pont and Livermore allowed their names to be used as "sponsors."
Sued. Peabody, Houghteling & Co. of Chicago (securities) for $2,660,500; by 500 bondholders of the New England Oil Refining Co., who charge that they were persuaded to buy $5,000,000 worth of bonds by misleading representation.
Sued. Otto Hermann Kahn, Manhattan banker and grand opera tycoon; for $250,000 damages for alleged libel; by Rosalinda Morini, 26, coloratura soprano of Freehold, N. J. Last February Mr. Kahn was quoted in Miss Morini's advertisement in The Musical Courier as saying that she had "one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard." Also quoted were the words: "Metropolitan Grand Opera Co." Later Mr. Kahn denied making or authorizing any such statement and said the use of the Metropolitan's name was "evidently intended to exploit for Miss Morini's benefit the name of an organization with which she has no connection whatever."
Died. Francis King Murray, 33, of Andover, Mass., instructor at Phillips-Andover Academy, onetime Leland Stanford footballer and trackman, son of Dr. Augustus Taber Murray, leader of the Friends Church in Washington, D.

Leopold Jr. (famed co-murderer, with Richard Loeb, of 14-year-old Bobby Franks in 1924); after an operation; in Chicago. Murderer Loeb's father died in 1924. Father Jacob Franks died last year. All three fathers, prominent Chicagoans before the crime, lived afterward in seclusion.
Died. Francis Aidan Cardinal Gasquet, 83, one of two English Cardinals,* Librarian of the Vatican; of pneumonia and heart disease; at his residence in the Palace of Saint Calixtus, Rome.
