him to tone down his remarks so
that they will not offend any por-

One telegram urged him to SAY
things that America wants to hear

"I did not come here to be ex-

WIFE FOR DAY
IS IN QUANDARY
Professor Herman Returns To
His First Wife--To Start
Life Anew

CHICAGO, Nov. 27-Mrs. Blanche
Hawn Rash Brimmer, second wife or
John T. Herman, former professor
of law at Notre Dame University,
possesses a marital status at least as
tangled as hat of her husbnd for a
day, according to revelations she
made here before returning to Mar
shalltown, Iowa.
She planned to set about today
learning whether she was entitled to
legally accept Mr.. Herman in their
Crown Point, Indiana, ceremony Sat
urday.
Mrs. Brimmer was left by Profes-
sor Herman with the Injunction to
"go and redeem yourself in my
eyes,"
Those expressions came after Pro-
fessor Herman and Mrs. Brimmer
were informed their marriage had
been rendered illegal by annulment
of Professor Tiernan's divorce from
Mrs. Augusta Herman at South
Bend, Ind, and her own prior mari
tai status possibly was beclouded.
When she was sixteen years oltA
eight years ago. she eloped with
Floyd L. Rash, Marshalltown baker,
from the home of her parents, tho
Rev. and Mrs. Charles II. Hawn,
then of Aredale, Iowa, and now of
Hanneville, Iowa, she said. FouL
days after receiving a notice that
Rash had sued for divorce she said
she married Arthur H. Brimmer &C
Oskaloosa. Iowa, only to learn that
Rash had not obtained a final de-
cree when she married Brimmer.
Nothing was done about the mat
ter she said but she and Brimmer
came to Chicago where she became
a check girl in q Chinese restaurant.
While here she learned Brimmer
then was being sued for divorce by
an earlier wife whereupon she re-
turned home but returned, Joined
Brimmer later at Kansas City, Mo.
He disappeared there she said and
his brother informed her Brimmer
was dead.
"Is that all the proof of freedom
you had when you married?" Pro-
fessor Herman is said to have ex-
claimed.
Mrs. Brimmer's letter began by
referring to Professor Herman as
Dear Friend" and gradually in
creased In warmth Of tone until Pro-
fessor Herman is said finally to
have replied:
Some day I am coming after
you," to which Mrs. Brimmer was
quoted as having responded: "And
when you do you will find me wait
ing"
Regarding money Mrs. Brimmer
vas quoted as saying: 81 have plen-
ty. Money has no attraction what
ever"
In another letter this passage was
said to have occurred:
But always you will be my saka-
wawin." Reference to books in In
dian law failed to reveal the mean
ing of "sakawawin."
Mrs. Brimmer is the mother o.
two children, Borden E. Rash.6 G, and
Kenneth Rash, A.

SUIT AGAINST REDER BROS.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Nov. PA
supreme court action has been start
ed by Anna Elkind of Newark.
against Oscar Soble, one OF the pro-
prietors of the Reder Milk Com
pany, to recover $4,000 deposited by
Abraham Berkowitz. of New York,
with Soble under an agreement
whereby Berkowitz was to buy
out Soble's share in the company.
Berkowitz assigned his share to the
plaintiff who brought suit when she
learned from the auditors report
that SobePs interest in the company
did not amount to as much as was
originally stated. The agreement
reached between Berkowitz AID So
BILE, it is claimed, was that Rerko-
witz would purchase Soole's one
third interest in the company at a
price not exceeding 100000 and not
less than $4,000. The auditors re-
port, it is said, showed Soble's inter-
est amounted to only $1,000. Mrs.
Elkind, who was to take over Berko-
Wits share then decided not to
buy and now sues for the return of
the $4,000 deposit. ,

Chicago, Aug. 7-Burdensome re- 'ceipts, together with indifference Of de- mand led to lowest prices yet this sea- SO nin the wheat market today Fur thermore, some late selling was induced by vague reports about President Hard ing's new move to settle the railroad strike. The close was unsettled at lie to l 3-sc net decline. with September s1.o5 5-S to s1.o5 5-4 and Dec. s1o6 5-s to s1.o6 3-4. Corn lost @3-s to 7-s@ 1c, and oats 1-sc to 3-4. Provisions fin- ished unchanged to 12@15c lower.
 The seasons new low record prices for wheat were reached early in the day, long before any hint had been re- ceived as to the presidents latest plans touching strike settlement. With arri- vals of wheat here totaIling 1.o1A, car loads and with hedging sales finding the market without any adequate buying support prices went down grade until the December delivery struck $1.o6. the bottom figures of the session. Subse- quentiy, moderate rallies took place. Corn and oats as well as wheat drop- ped to lowest prices so far on the 1922 crop. Current estimates of the yield Of feed were construed as bearish, but were afterward partly offset by an nouncement of nearly 6,000.000 bushels decrease in the visible supply of corn..
 Provisions were depressed in line with hogs and grain.

nrARKrr wAa srRoNa.

New York. Aug. 7.--With conpara- lively few exceptions. the upward move ment in prices was continued in today's stock market.
 While the market lacked indications of any extensive public buying, a good investment demand was noted for some Of the high grade rails and industrials several of which reached new top prices for the year.
 President Hardlng's new strike set tlement plan reached the street too late for more than cursory perusal. but it's immediate reflex was favorable. traders apparently being of the, opinion that it would be found acceptable to both sides.
 Among the rails which broke through for new top prices were Chesapeake and Ohio. Chicago and Northwestern. Pere Marquette, Great Northern preferred ss Paul preferred and Southern Rail- way preferred. which registered gains of 1 to 9 points. The strength of thel northwestern group was attributed to the unusually good crop prospects for tsat region.
 Strength of such equipment issues as American and Baldwin Locomotive and Pullman company, which were up i 1-2 to nearly 3 points. was founded on the belief that the railroads soon would be required 10 bring up their depleted car and locomotive stocks to take care of the expected heavy demand this fall.
 Montgomery wards extremely favor able ssrni-annual earnings statement furnished the incentive for tne buying of mall order shares. Exceptional strength of Kresge and Woolworth, which scared 5 and 8 points, respec- lively, was aseribed to the possibility of extra disbursements this fall
 Other strong spots -su the industrial group were Adams Express, Associated Oil. Corn Products. Otis Steel. National and Loose Wiles Biscuits Public util- itiss also were in good demand, sub stsatial gains being scored by North American. Detroit Edison. Philadelphia company and Brooklyn Edison.
 Rumors of further price cuts in au- ton-o5ils tires caused reaction in the shares of that group, Goodrich dropping Is points. Chandler Motors also was reactionary.
 Total sales amounted to 55o,o0e shares.
 Cal money opened at 1-2 per cent and rose to in the afternoon, holding at that figure until the close. Time money rates were virtually unchanged.
