Assassination
Of the
Car Paul,
Son of Catherine,
to Whom She
Bequeathed
the Necklace.
By May Yohe,

YYNYITH the deepest interest I have
w read the recent disclosure 10
" the newspapers that the historic
pearl necklace OF the wicked old Empress
Catherine ii. of Russia has found its way
to America and is now owned by the
Dodge family. of Detroit, the automobile
multi-millionaires.
May Heaven help these good people
who know not the deadly serpent they
have gayly welcomed to their bosoms!
l once owned and wore the famous and
malevolent Hope Diamond. AS the bride
OF Lord Francis Hope had the world be-
fore me-wealth, title, social position,
all that my heart could long for
And all was swept away as II 1t had
been a dream. The curse" Of the great
Hope Diamond had made me its victim
as II had ruined the lives Of score OF
others since II left the idols breast In
India, six centuries ago, and began its
cruel history of disaster which has left an
appalling trail for six hundred years.
AS the CLASSY eye Of the snake holds
deadly charm for its victim, so the history
of the Hope Diamond and other evil jewels
of historic fame has had a strange fasci-
nation for me.
have travelled pretty much all over
the world and, year after year, have In
cidentally busted myself with piecing to-
gether the histories of some Of the most
interesting of the well authenticated "un-
lucky" jewels. So 1t was that i had be-
come very familiar with the cruel history
OF GATHERINGS famous pearls as well as
the history Of the Hope Diamond which
had blighted MY own life.
In many ways the history Of the great
necklace and the famous diamond are cur
fuusly alike-in some respects 1t seems. to
me the tragedies bound up with the EN-
press's pearls are more terrible, more saw
agely cruel.
Some of the owners Of the Hope Dia-
nond escaped without fatal mishap-al-
most none of the owners Of wicked Cath
crimes necklace escaped without fatalities
of the most bloodthirsty, barbarous kind.
Not all the heaped-up millions OF the
Dodge family would tempt me to touch
the fatal necklace even with the tip OF
my shoe.
The two Dodge brothers who made the
Dodge fortune and negotiated the pur-
chase of the cursed pearls only a few
months ago are dead! Cut off one after
the other in the prime OF life Just as they
began to enjoy the millions! Twice only
has the widow worn the gems, and she has
passed them on to her newly married
daughter.
Like the freaks of lightning so the male
violent manifestations Of ill-omened gems
are capricious. The two heads of the
Dodge millions met untimely deaths. Will
the other members of the family be
spared? I have MY own opinion, but let
the future reveal itself in due time.
Every Czarina of Russia who has worn
the great necklace since the days Of Cath.

survives, has known every agony that could

SCORE MONCURE.
FOR LAX|TY IN
!. DIVORCE COURT
Committee Holds Even Law
With Teeth In 1t Not Liable
To Be Enforced.
BY HARVEY L. COBB.

Copyright, 1929. by The Washington
Times Company
Non-enforcement Of the Virginia
divorce laws In Little Reno Is not
the fault OF the law. but is attributed
entirely to Judge Robinson honcure's
laxity in enforcing the statutes.
This is not the belief of any one
man. but Ia the opinion of the conf
mittee on courts Of justice at Rich
mond. which heard evidence pre-
scented to 1t by various witnesses in
terested in new divorce legislation.
The committee yesterday reported
out an amendment to the present
law which Is practically the same as
the present statute with that the one
exception that. In addition to having
domicile in the State. the person
seeking the divorce must actually re-
side there.
30 much pressure was brought by
opponents of the Hall bill that that
measure was killed by the commit.
tee, along with several other anti
divorce bills, which were tabled after
the passage OF a short bill re-enact'
ing one paragraph in the present Vir'
ginia code.
"The bill reported out by the com.
mittee is mere nomenclature and adds
nothing to the present law except
words to meet the decision OF the
supreme court in the Towson case,
which held that both domicile and
residence are necessary to constitute
Jurisdiction for the purpose OF divorce
proceedings" Assemblyman Wilbur
c. Hall stated this morning over long
distance to a Times reporter, COM
menting on the measure reported out
of the committee.
"The law has not been strength
ened and the same practice can
continue to prevail. The evidence
presented before the committee
demonstrated a necessity for re-
form in our divorce laws.
1.-The only method now left to get
the bill before the legislature Is to
move to discharge the committee
and shall probably carry this
fight to the floor" Mr.. Hall said.
THE committee on courts of JUS
tice feel that the conditions in AL
exandria did not result from the
existing state Of law, but from the
laxity with which 1t Is being con-
strued," Hall charges. THE pres
ent law Is inadequate for present
day needs and divorceaScan be too
easily obtained. especially -uncon-
tested ones"
The opinion Of the committee. ac-
cording to Mr.. Hall Is that the
present divorce laws Of Virginia are
adequate to cope with the situa-
ton II they are enforced. Any
amount of new law IL is declared
will not prevent the wholesale d.
vorce business carried on by mem
bers of the ring unless the law 10
enforced.

PRIEST ACCUSED

HA[F-BROTHER
Montreal Pastor, Huge Bene-
ficiary Under Will, Linked to
Crime by Bloodstains.

MONTREAL, Feb. 15.--Father
Adelard Delorme. Catholic priest.
who led in a five-weeks' hunt for
the slayer of Raoul Delorme, his
half brother, today stands charged
with being criminally responsible
for his brothers death. apparently
untroubled by the charge and con-
fident that his name will be
cleared.
1t was his own insistence, car
ried even to the premier of Que
bee, that the coroner's probe be
proceeded with, that resulted in the
sudden dramatic turn to the case
which changed the priest from
man-hunter to defendant.
Father Delorme shortly after the
boys body was found, offered a
reward of $1,000 for apprehension
of the slayer. During subsequent
weeks whispers spread through a
highly excited community linking
the priests name with the case.
The reasons for this startling
turn of events, revealed before the
ooroner's hearing. caused a jury
composed entirely Of Catholics, to
bring an indictment by a vote Of
7 to 1. 1t was shown that Father
Delorme a few days before the
death had had his brothers life
insured for $4,000 that he in
fluenced his brother to have the
policy made payable to his heirs, "
whereby he, Father pelorme would
profit; that Father Delorr1e told
conflicting stories about his broth
er's will, which. when found, proved
the priest would profit about
$4,000 a year through his brothers
death.
Testimony was submitted show
ing the calibre of the bullet used
was the same as that of a revolver
found in the priests car and that
the seats of his car had been scrub
bed in an apparent effort to clear
Il OF stains.

FROM The 7r1oure's Europeon Bureau
LONDON, May 21.-The tendency of
borrowers to anticipate unduly the
future course Of money rates received
sharp check last week. when It was
announced that the New South Walea

failed in its public appeal, "a per cent

While the interest rates have been
steadily dropping here there are still
too many attractive offerings to allow
OF success for loan offering such low
returns. Immediately after the an
nouncement Of this loan on Tuesday
scrip fell to 90, or a discount of three
points. Despite the failure, underwrit-
ing arrangements proceeded for a loa n
OF S4,200.000 to the government of the
Straits Settlement on terms almost ex-
acuy similar TO those Of the Australian

Aside from these loans the financial
feature Of the week was the decision
Of the Stock Exchange to revert on

business-that is fortnightly settle

meet with unqualified approval. many
brokers believing that the present sys-

Anxiously Awaits Invest

crcases in capitalization
121a Billions This Year
New Issues Of Stocks and
Bonds Face Difficulties
Due to Poor Market

CorTrieht 1872 Nev York Tribune Inc.
BERLIN, May 21.-Due to the scar
city of ready money which has mani
tested itself in the last few months,
German industry is now anxiously
awaiting the investment Of foreign
capital in German enterprises. Foreign
capital is needed, particularly, to cover
the tremendous capitalization increases
in German companies since the begin
ming of this year According to figures
obtained by the Tribune correspondent,
there have been issued between Janu-
ary and April now founders shares
totaling 1896 900, 600 marks. as against
4,732 ,o0o, 900 marks for the same period
last year. In addition, preferred shares
show an increase Of more than zoo,
600 900 marks, while the amount of
bonds issued total 3,484 900 900 marks,
compared with 1859 100000 marks last
year.
Altogether the amount Of money
modified by German industry in the
first four months Of 1922 totals more
than 12.50o 100000 marks, compared
with 100000 600 in the preceding
year. These figures, however, do not
correspond with the amount of money
actually received by industry. The
main portions of these issues Of stocks
and bonds are lying in safes and vaults
awaiting other disposition on the
stock exchange. In general tho issue
Of new shares faces difficulties in the
future due to the very poor market,
and those firms that made large profits
on the stock exchange last year are
now investing their money in kind or
spending it. This explains the scarcity
Of ready cash on the market This is
why German Industries are looking
abroad. particularly to America fol
new capital.
The last week was characterized By
continued lack Of interest in the
Berlin markets, although the mark
again showed slight weakening tend
ency. The fact that the government
demand for foreign currency was TEN
porarily satisfied following the May
| - reparation payment was partly re
| sponsible. The general economic tend
ency is very depressed. A particularly
| bad effect has been produced by the
governm ent's report on the scarcity OF
the coal supply. The country's mar
interest naturally now is ccntered or
