Special Despatch to THE NEW York HERALD.
CHICAGO, June How Peggy Hop
kins Joyce planned to give J. Stanley
Joyce his Freedom" for 100000 and
20 be married to Prince Noureddin
Vlora of Albania will be revealed when
the Joyce divorce case is tried.
Peggy's scheme. according to state
r,ents made by Joyce's friends to-day,
was that Prince Vlora should divorce
his Princess, the former Mrs. Helen
Kelly Gould Thomas. while Peggy her
self was getting r'i' of Joyce. Peggy
thought that inasmuch as she had spent
s944,331 of his money in year and had
run up bills of 100000 more. Joyce
would be glad to give her another mil
lion and kiss her good-by. With this
nest egg she and her Prince could get
started without the necessity OF the
Prince going to- work.
Princess Helen is expected to be one
o. Joyce's chief witnesses in his attempt
to prove thai Peggy and Prince Vlora
were too friendly in Pals during the
Joyce honeymoon. The Princess learned
% the Princes attachment for Peggy
and cut of his allowance, which she was
paying from her own millions. When
news of his plan to divorce her first
reached her she left him and took up
her residence at the Hotel Leonori.

KNOX. Ind. June 1.-Dleyen-year-old
Cecil Burkett. who Is being tried in the
Starke County Circuit Court here on a
murder charge in connection with the
death of Bonnie Siavin, his seven-year-
old playmate. took the stand in his own
behalf this afternoon. He was the last
witness and after attorneys finished
questioning him Judge William G. Pente-
cost dismissed court until morning The
State asks the death penalty for the boy.
Young Burkett proved a surprise to
the crowd who packed the court room.
He was much more calm than any of
the other eight witnesses who took the
stand to-day. He answered Prosecutor
James Dilts's questions promptly and
appeared very accurate In his state
ments.
The boy said he and Fred Scherman,
another playmate, were cleaning straw
out of bird house In the Burkett back
yard when they heard a shot toward
the front OF the house. He said he
dropped the straw and ran to the front
of the house. where he found the Slavn
boy. who had been shot, with .22
calibre rife lying beside him. Young
Burkett said he picked up the gun and
carried II into the house.

though He Realized He Is on Trial for Murder
and Death Penalty Is Asked.

Prosecutor Dilts failed to shake the
boy from his story after an hour OF ques-
tioning.
Harry Sherman, II, a witness for the
prosecution, related that he saw the
Burkett boy shoot the Slavin lad last
Thanksgiving Day Under severe cross
examination. he refused to admit the
shooting was accidental. but insisted the
boys had querrelled and that there was
bad feeling between them.
The examination brought out that
Burkett did not deliberately point the
gun at his playmate.
Elsie Slavin. years old, sister of the
slain boy, was prevented from testify
Ing by Judge William Pentecost. who
held II was unlawful for a person under
10 years old to take the witness stand
In Indiana. The little girl was said to
be the prosecutions star witness, hav-
ing been. 1t was said. an eyewitness to
the shooting.

AN IMPORTANT
STATEMENT TO
THE PUBLIC

In making this statement we are not
attempting to fasten on every cloth
ing retailer the charge of profiteering
Unquestionably there are notable
exceptions However, the general
charge that retail prices are alto
gether too high, as succinctly stated
by PRESIDENT HARDING in u
recent speech, is not to be denied.
To remedy this situation for the
good of the public, and ourselves, we
have decided to eliminate the retailer
entirely.
You, the public, therefore, can now
buy your clothing direct from US,
the manufacturers, at actual ,chole-
sale prices.
1880, $500, $4,000 and $500
for MEMS AND YOUNG MEMS
snappy-style, pure wool suits, sold
usually at from $50 to SIS in elabo-
rate retail establishments.
These suits, in fact, offer an unusual
and irresistible appeal in high quality,
latest style and careful tailoring.
Faultlessly fashioned Of flawless
fabrics, 1000 pure wool-the very
finest procurable from the leading
wooden mills, such as French-Rivers,
Greenwich and like mills. Garments
in fact, that represent the output of
. number of WELL KNOWN
CLOTHING MANUFACTURERS
who have formed this NEW CON-
SOLIDATION in order to clip the
wings of profiteers.
NOW NOTE THIS
We are only paying $4,000 for the
quarters we now occupy. On Broad
way this same space rents for $40, 900.
A TREMENDOUS SAVING IN
RENT
that allows us to put EXTREME
QUALITY into the garments we
manufacture-and gives you the
advantage Of buying TWO suits for
the price of one.
YOU REALLY BUY AT
WHOLESALE

the overhead charges that you other
wise would have to pay the retailer
for his maintenance Of an expensive
establishment, including fancy sales
force, special fixtures, high rent, etc.
COME AND SEE FORYOURSEEF!
You will be shown not alone the
snappiest suits in New York, but the
same courteous service you have been
paying for at retail stores with a

fled in any particular.

In no section of the east has a

Champion Tennis Players.
Bill covers himself with glory in
the gentle art of swinging a racquet.
He won the singles championship in
the 1916 Iowa state open tourney at
Des Moines. He was city champ
here in 1919, and Omaha Junior
champ in 19l4-l5-16 Bill enjoyed
the championship of Carter lake in

Ralph Powell and Adams are city

were also city doubles champs in

doubles champs in the 1919 city
tourney.
Bill also plays foot ball and bas-
ket ball being one of the main cogs
in the Nonpareil semi-pro foot ball

But there's one thing that little
William delights in more than any

"Ol Fat Bill Adams!"

Daily a verbal barrage is directed
at Bill Adams, witty remarks con-
corning much extra avoirdupois, no,
that little Willie is "pct-bellied," like
the immortal Babe Ruth, but only a
bit full in places.
But 'tisn't Bills fault. Bill can't
help it. 1t, meaning fat, just will
not come off. The hero of this little
yarn is out on the Field club courts
every afternoon, swinging a mean
racquet-and that isn't the only
thing Bill can swing. For he has
two good fists. Some young men
that take to tennis and not golf are
dubbed "tea-hounds" or "cake-eat-
ers," but Bill is out of that class,
for listen:
When Bill was earning 80 per in

years ago, he was stationed in the
officers training school at Camp

so many times, was boxing instruc-

responded to the call, and finally
little Willie ups his hand, and
says:

said Charley"
Bill felt like real professional
when he entered the ring, but when
he left he felt more like marathon

French Champ Beats
Young Dane in Meet
Because Of Record

Paris, July 23.-Andre Colbert,
who held the French tennis cham
pionship for several years until de-
feated by Jean Samazeiulh Of Bor-
deaux last May, served during the
war as an aviator and was recuperat-
ing at Vichy from shock received
in a fall of over 1000 feet altitude in
1917 when some of the neutrals en-
joying the cure organized a tennis
tournament. Colbert entered under
the name Dubois. Not being in the
best of shape he had hectic time in
reaching the semi-hnals, where he
had to meet a youthful Dane who
was going great gune. Colbert lost
the first set, 6 to 2, and was in fair
way of losing the second when some
one in the crowd recognized the
French champion and commenced
shouting encouragement to him, call
ing him by his own name.
The Dane, realizing that he was
playing against the champion of
France. seemed bewildered, making
fault after fault, missing easy returns,
netting. Colbert won the next three
sets.
