,ecIal to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Cilbertville, March 14.-There is abb
solutely no clue as yet that may lead
to the finding of Valentine Heinen,
who disappeared from here week
ago last night. There Is new
theory as to the absence of the aged
and esteemed citizen. He is known 10
have carried considerable money about
his person and is said to have had be-
tween 5000 and $500 on the night OF ms
mysterious disappearance. The theory
OF robbery and murder has been
advanced and Is supported by the find
ing of his watch near the river bank.
There is a theory that some cvilly dis
posed person was acquainted with the
fact that Mr. Heinen was In the haDlt
OF carrying money and that they way
laid him near the river bank while ne
was returning home after q visit down
town in the darkness Of last Monday
evening. In order to get rid OF the
body, it is contended that the assail-
ants carried 1t to the river bank and
rolled it down the precipitous sides of
the stream into the water. This the
DRY would account for the presence OF
the watch near the waters edge, where
1t might have fallen from the pocket
The search for the whereabouts OF
Mr. Heinen has never been stopped for
a moment since his disappearance was
made known. The river has been drag
ged for many rods below the place
where it Is supposed the body fell into
the Cedar, but thus far without avail.

The Marriage Promoter Must
Depend on His Clients
Word of Honor
SUPREME COURTS DECISION
IL 10 Hold That tho Business of tho
Marriage Broker is Against tho Law
and Public Policy and That His Con-
tracts Cannot DO Enforced in the
Courts.

Des Moines, March 14.--There's no
money In promoting marriages IN
Iowa. The grave Justices of the SUI
premc court said 1t, yesterday. Mar
rlage brokerage contracts are against
the law and public policy. enunciates
the supreme tribunal of this state Aud
Mary Aldinger OF Hardin county must
stand her own expenses In going to
Chicago to help William G1obe marry
a fair resident Of the big city on the
lake.
Mary Adinger incurred expenses
amounting to about $3.50 on this jour-
ney and mission. She sued the estate
of Grobe for 1t. Judge Evans court
allowed her SIT. The supreme court
declined to increase 1t, and took oc-
casion to rciterate In vigorous Ian
guage certain principles Of the law
relative to brokerage in marriages.
Mrs. Aldinger and Grobe had con-
tract by which the latter agreed to pay
the lady 5000 if she would go to Chi
cago and see Il woman whom he was
DESTROYS of marrying. and give her in
formation concerning him. calculating
to induce her to entrust him with her
future. Mrs. Aldinger did her part,
the wedding occurred, the couple did
not live long together, but Grobe re-
fused to pay the 5000 and 30 expenses.
He died soon after, and Mrs. Aldinger
sued to recover from the estate. Judge
Evans allowed her SIT which she had
advanced, but denied the commission
for 5000. which was in pursuance OF
a marriage brokerage contract, which
is void. as against public policy.
1t did not appear clear whether
Grobe had q contract of marriage with
the Chicago woman when the contract
was made with Mrs. Aldinger. but only
desired the agent to assist him In
bringing about the marriage. or wheth-
err he was seeking to induce her to en-
ter into contract OF marriage with
him. But 1t is held wholly immaterial
what was the prior relation between
the parties. 1t was clearly shown, IN
the Judgment of the court, that the
services to be rendered by Mrs. AL
dlnger for which she desires compen-
sation, were to give the woman whom
Grobe wished to marry, information
concerning him tending to induce
the woman to enter into such marriage
relation. And no argument is neces-
sary to demonstrate that this arrange
ment was a marriage brokerage con-
tract" says the supreme court pure
and simple, such as is deemed by the
law to be against public policy and
therefore void"

Holm Case is Dismissed.

Sidney, March 14.-The case of Sar-
ah Holm which was before the United
States district court in st. Joseph, Mo-,
was dismissed last week owing to the
absence of an important witness. Mrs.
Holm was charged with defrauding the
government out of 1926 pension money.
She married a widower and pensioner
named Holm. and after his death, which
took place twenty years afterwards,
secured a pension as his widow. 1t is
charged that she parted from a former
husband, one Henry Dimmitt, without
the formality of divorce, hence her
marriage with Holm was void. The
parties formerly lived at Hamburg.
