Thus on January 20, 1914, did Los

Reatha was then 16.
"Too beautiful" the jurist called her
and so she was thereafter known.
Eight years ago, precocious, she
thought her beauty was. hindyance.
Today it is her fortune.

but in January last the court contro-

Since then it is presumed, they have.
lived happily in the Christie Hotel,
Hollywood.
Reatha's remarkable career really
began in January, 1918, when she dis
appeared. Her father charged she had
been abducted by Mrs. Violet AXE, her
half-sister, and C. C Boxley, described
as friend of the latter.
But later it was said the girl had
been kidnapped and married BY Jack
Lytlle' who. according to the legend
at the time, held her prisoner for sew
eral months near Yuma. She reap
peared one day and was reported to
have said one day that her caveman
bridegroom had "died suddenly Of

Then came Lawrence F. Converse.
They were wed June 2, 1914. The mar

Converse declared he was stricken

girls beauty, but she said he appeared
sane. The marriage was annulled, Teh
bride went back home.
She disappeared shortly afterward
and Converse's trial on the bigamy
charge was delayed. Then she was
found and from the witness stand gave

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 5-Bankers
who during recent periods of financial
stringency have imposed excessive in

useless to protest issuance of charters

of the Currency Cissinger today told
the national bank section of the AM

ton here. The number of such bank
ers, he added, "is not very great, but
it will do no harm for me to say that
we have our eyes on these over eau
tious ones. and that we are not much
disposed in their favor"
"The bank that gets advances from
the federal reserve system, and only
seeks to increase its profits by that
privilege is not doing it's part" Mr..
Crissinger declared. "You are expect
ed to understand that banks are con-
venience and facility to businessmen
that business is the ever-ready sup
port of high and yet higher banking
profits.
"The other day saw z report of a
