FIRST YEAR
MOST CRITICAL.
One year after marriage man ana
wife are at the dividing line OF their
lives, according to Superior Judge
Thomas +. Graham, dean of divorce
court judges, San Francisco.
Judge Graham told a gathering OF
San Francisco business men that
once this crucial time had passed,
once a man and wife had entered
the second year of their marital
union, they were assured of hap
py married life. The alliance Is
endangered until the first anniver-
sary, he said. The reason for the
one-year limit, he said was that
after this amount Of time had passed
man and wife cast aside the false
characters assumed during court
ship and reveal their true selves.

Lincoln, Nov. 2S.-The Farmers
and Merchants State bank of Verdon
will probably be placed in the hands
of receiver, according to informa-
ton coming from the state banking
bureau. The prospects up to Friday
were that the bank might be able
to get back on its feet, but the load
ing up OF the institution with abou:
$4,000 worth of bad paper and the
attitude OF some of the stockholders
stand in the way of resdjustment OF
its difficulties.
The bank has a capital stock OF
$4,000 and owners of two-thirds Of
its stock were favorable to putting
up 100 cents on the dollar in order
to put it on its feet, but the rest OF
the stockholders did not care to ad-
vance the amount. 1t is said that this
minority stock is owned by stock
holders i'll the rival bank.
Ordered Bank Closed.
When it became apparent that
nothing could be done, Secretary
Hart of the Department OF Trade
and Commerce instructed the pres
ident of the bank, E. E. Auxier, to
close it and send Bank Examiner r.
o. Chase to take charge. Attorney
General Davis has also been re-
Quested to institute proceeding for
the appointment of a receiver.
d. E. Lower, formerly of Lincoln
but now living in Oregon, is the
largest individual stockholder, hav-
ing $1,000 invested. while The rest
of the stock is owned by President
Auxier, $500; Vice President II. N.

and ]. L. Orr, Crowley, Colo. $1,000.
c. H. Hall, George Z. Hall and c.
H. Weir of the opposition bank own
$500, the balance of the stock.
Deposits Are SSo,o67.
Deposits of the bank aggregate
$S0,O67. Undivided profits are
given as $l,573, guaranty reserve
fund, $l,S0S, and these. with the

Robbery Was the Motive

G, f. Lung, so, janitor at the Cen
tral Congregational church, under
construction at Thir,y-six,h street
and Dewey avenue, was found bru-
tally murdered in the boiler room OF
the church at 9 Sunday morning.
The murderer used a sledge hammer
and pocket knife. Robbery was
the motive, police say. Lung had
been dead 10 hours when found, ac-
cording to DR.. Glenn Miller, a police
surgeon.
A safe i'll the shanty Office OF the
James Black Construction company
outside the church was found
smashed open and the contents
thrown about. Nothing was taken.
The nature of the robbery and mur-

quainted with the surroundings.
Robbery Was Motive.
Lungs purse, emptied, and his
spectacles. smashed by a blow Of the
sledge hammer, were found on top
his body, lying on its right side i'll
the doorway of the coal room.
Wounds on Lungs head show he
was first stunned by a blow OF the
sledge hammer then slashed to his
death. There was no evidence OF a
struggle. One of seven ugly slashes
pierced Lungs skull. Evidently to
be sure of death, the murderer made
two piercing jabs in his victims
throat, severing the carotid artery.
, The murderer wiped his BLOODY
hands on piece OF paper found
near Lungs body ard on canvas
covering over a side doorway to the
boiler room.

The only chance of obtaining nm

the finding of the pocket knife Gov

Mesopotanlia Oil
Situation Likely
ToCause Trouble
Britain Has No Desire to
''Hog'' Rights, Man in
Close Touch With
Lloyd George Says.
By JOHN STEELE.
New Yosk Times Chicago Tribune Cable.
~. Cepyri0ht 1920,

-Cepyfleht lS@O.
London, Nov. 2S.-A man i'll close
touch with Mr.. Lloyd George de-
clared that the oil situation in Meso-
potamia is the one question above
all others most likely to cause Anglo
American trouble if indiscreetly
handled. Great Britain, he declared.
has no desire to "hog" Mesopota-
,nian oil.
Most of the Mosul oil field which
is the largest proved field in Mes
opotamia, is now held under an
old Turkish concession to a British
German group by the Britt sh- French
group, the French having taken over
the German interests.
The British government has not
decided whether to work these in
terests itself, or to allow the COM
mercial holders to exploit them, but
it has determined not TO allow the
field to be spoiled by competitive
boring
America Free to Enter.
America is perfectly free to enter
any deal with the holders of these
concessions for a share of the pro-
duction or to prospect any new
fields, having all the rights accorded
British subjects or any other for
eigners, the official said.
1t was also learned that Standard
Oil representatives from America
have been interviewing British Off
cials trying to- secure concessions.
A high official i'll the British for
eign Office declares that the main
point in the American note TO Britain
on the Mesopotamian oil situation
is the claim that mandates for Ar
menia and Palestine ought to be
submitted to America for approval.
, Up to League.
A theoretical answer to that de-
mand, he said, would be that under
the constitution of the league OF
nations mandates drawn up are to
be submitted to the league council,
This is in accord with article p, and
America, not being member OF the
league, strictly speaking, is not en-
titled to be consulted.
The informant, however, says
Great Britain recognizes the TACT
that America helped win the war
and is entitled to have say, even
though she has not joined her for
Sler associates in the league.
The probability is that mandates
will be shown to America before
being confirmed and her suggestions
will be considered.

The Mormon church--or the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter

from alcoholic liquors but also from
smoking and chewing tobacco and
from drinking tea and coff.e. Its

Yesterday the sacrament Of holy
