The Reliability of
Advertised
Articles

A man who is an authority
on advertising said recently:
you may have business with
out advertising, but you can't.
have advertising without
business
Just think of the full sig
nificance Of that statement to
the newspaper reader
1t means that when you see
any man advertising regular
ly in the better newspapers he
must have something real and
genuine to advertise; that he
has merchandise of such quail
ity that it meets the needs of
his customers, and he is so
sure of the desirability of what
he has to offer that he Is will
ing to spend real money to tell
people about 1t. He knows that
money spent in advertising is
well spent, because he is SO
sure of his product that his
chief problem in selling is to
let everyone know what he has
to sell.
Knowing this, can you afford
to let this valuable information
offered you by the daily news
paper slip by you through your
own negligence? Do you not
owe it to yourself to keep up
to the minute by reading reg
ularly the advertising columns
of good publications like THE
GATE CITY?

THAT GUGCENHE|M
DIVORCE SUIT
Three Circuit Court Judges Deny Mo-
tion to Annual the Decree as
Asked by States
Attorney.
AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY
Had Case Been Decided Differently,
There Would Have Been
Flood Of Suits
Flied.

[ United Press Leased Wire Service ] |
CHICAGO, July 16.-Three circuit
court judges, who sat en- banc at the
hearing of the case, today denied a
motion to annul the decree of di- 4
vorce granted Mrs. Grace Guggen-
heim-Wahl from William Guggenheim,
the smelter millionaire, In Chicago in
1912.
Motion was made by the assistant
states attorney who argued for an
order expunging the decree from the
records on the grounds that 1t was
obtained by fraud and collusion in
that Mrs. Guggenheim-Wah was not
"a resident Of Illinois at the time the
decree was granted. The judges de-
MED Raber's request on the ground
that 1t was against public policy. To
set aside the decree they held would
work wrongs to innocent parties
without doing appreciable harm to
those charged with conniying in the
fraud. Since his divorce from the
now Mrs. Guggenheim-W -Wahl, the
smelter millionaire has remarked and
has one son by his second wife, for
merly Aimee Steinberger, of New
| York. An annulment OF the decree
would have in effect declared the sec
lend marriage illegal and the child
,]bys the second marriage illegitimate.
At the same time Judge Heard sng
1 gested that If the states attorneys
loffice has evidence that fraud and
collusion we're practiced in obtaining
the Guggenheim divorce he should
prosecute the guilty parties for con
tempt.
The judges held that while they had
the power to set aside the decree the
Eexercise of that power was discre
tionary and that an affirmative decis
4 ion on Raber' motion would result
in thousands of similar attempts be
ing made with much injury to limo
cent persons.

proper procedure to procure an an
nulment OF the decree was to file
petition for a review of the entire
case. The assistant states attorne.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Greatest !
excitement prevails in Mexico City
today by the rumor that the fifteen

executed. Confirmation was refused
at the war office. 1t was suggested
there. however. that possibly the train

considered certain the Mexican gov

and started them in on janitor work.
Each convict that leaves Joliet is
given $40. Of this money he took
$3.50 from Gilmartin.
Gilmartin wasn't, satisfied to stay
around the Mission and DO the work
given him by Baldwin.
He wanted a chance to get out into
the world and show that he was a
man and no longer merely mineral.
So he asked Baldwin's permission
to do this and the Missionary re-
fused.
GiImartin needed underwear. He
asked Baldwin to give him the money
that he might buy some. Baldwin
went out and bought him a suit.
Later on he gave Gilmartin 81. This
was all the paroIed man ever saw of
his $3.50.
This condition of bondage lasted
for three weeks. And during that
time Gilmartin often wished he was
back in his convict's uniform at Joliet
under the sympathetic care of War
den Ed Allen.
Finally the mans spirit rebelled.
He took desperate chance. He
went out of the Mission one day and
did not return. The next day he be-
gan search for work. But times are
hard. He wasn't very successful He
searched for three days. And he has
applications on file at several big
houses to show that he really did try.
He went back into the Mission
and pleaded for his money, that he
might live until he could get work.
Baldwin scoIded him.
'Pm going to send you back to
Joliet" said the missionary, whose
halo was slipping very fast.
Then Gilmartin went out of the
place. He walked around trying to
figure the future. He wanted so
much to earn a place in the world.

sergeant he wanted to change his
parole from Baldwin to some one
else.
While he was talking to the ser
geant Baldwin burst into the sctation.
When he saw that Gilmartin had al
reaCy had an opportunity to state his
side of the case he fairly boiled over.
He thereupon surrendered the
mans parole and said that he would
see to it that the man went down
again to Joliet. There was nothing
for the indignant police sergeant to
do but lock Gilmartin in a cell.
But several people had overheard
the argument. They sympathized
with the convict. They were enraged
at Baldwin's action. Even the police,
who are naturally skeptical about an
ex-convict, believed that here was
one that deserved chance.
Rev. Elmer Williams was called on
the telephone. He launched into a

All! that put a different complexion
on the case Williams is very sensi-
tive on the subject of publicity. He
fairly bathed in it for awhile. He
promised to talk to Baldwin.
When sufficient time had elapsed
for Williams to talk to Baldwin, the
man who says he himself was con-
vict was called.
He started by being evasive; he
ended by trying to whitewash him
