Maurice T. Pooling of the United Plate
district court refuse today to consider
! accusations of moral turpitude made
against Tina Ihrmark, a professional
swimmer,4 held for deportation by federal
authorities upon her return from a the
atrical trip to Australia. The defendant
admitted certain events before and during
!her trip.
I "As to lapses from virtue," Judge Doo
'ling said, "the ctitinner stands In ex
actly the same position before the court
'us would a man.
'If an unmarried man could not he ex-
,,imlrd for such offenses against
tha
not
: mor.il law. then this woman could
be excluded liecause of them."
Judge Hooling. however, ordered the
woman's deportation on the ground that
she might become a public charge.
Her counsel said that she was able to
support herself and that the case would
be carried to the supreme court.
Judge Pooling said the law recognizes
moral lapses as grounds for deportation
only where one or hoth parties thereto
are married.

SIMILAR RESULT IN ST. LOUIS
The outstanding feature of the
various city elect ions was the
success of republican candidates,
nearly everywhere. Republican
victories were won in Chicago, St.
Louis, Baltimore, Oklahoma City,
Jamestown, N. Y. The plurality
of Ihe republican candidate for
mayor In Chicago was UP.'SItK,
the largest ever given there.

Hale Thompson was elected mayor
of Chicago today by an estimated
plurality of 130,000. Upturns from
1,400 precincts out of l.otifi indi

republican city ticket -to victory.
Throughout the pre-election cam
paign Thompson's managers stated
repeatedly that business and labor
conditions throughout the country
presaged a republican victory.
Women' voted for the first time at
a mayoralty election In Chicago, and

Swcltzer and his managers roneeded the
election to the republicans early In th
evening and left their headquarters.
Before going home Sweltxer sent his suc
cessful rival a telegram. ' in .which he
aid: "Congratulations on your victory.
