S500,000. This afternoon the partners
Of the defunct firm, Jules G. Rablner
and NJ Rabiner, are due to appear be-
fore the ways and means committee
of the Consolidated Stock Exchange
for examination as to the cause Of the
failure.
1t is charged by William s. Silk
worth, president of the exchange, that
the bankruptcy proceedings were
brought to prevent the exchange i'm
posing discipline. For two weeks past,
Mr. Silkworth says, J. G. Rabiner C
Co. have been under investigation by
the bureau of auditing and accounting
for the exchange. Elsewhere the be-
lief was expressed that the firm had
been caught short in rising market.

New York City, at 245 West Forty-sec-
ond Street and 1845 Broadway, and
the main Office In Broad Street. There
were no out-of-town Offices, but the Of
fee records Indicate it was said, that
there were about 10000 names on the
mailing list, to which market letters
and other literature were sent.
The creditors named in the petition,
which was filed with Federal Judge
Manton, who appointed the receiver,
are the Economic Press, with q claim
Of Sill; the Royal Desk Company, with
claim Of $42, and Herbert Fohan. who
claims $3.50 for professional services.
Ross G. Kaufman, the firm of which
the attorney for the receiver is mem
ber, are attorneys for the creditors.

day. Altogether it has been in bust
ness for about FIVE years.

Going to Enter Convent,
Runaway Bride Writes
Tells Mother She Can't Live
With Man She Hates; Police
Think She Plans Film Career

Mrs. Theresa De Fede, a Newark
bride, who disappeared few days after
her marriage on August % and who has
been sought all over the country, has
written her mother saying she intended
TO enter a convent rather than live
"with man l hate" it was learned
yesterday.
The young woman was married to
Anthony De Fede, of 274 South Sixth
Street, Newark, on August 2S. The
ceremony was performed by Mayor
Breidenbach at City Hall. 1t was
planned to have a religious wedding on
September, as the earlier one was
purely civil ceremony and surprise
to the girls parents.
On September l Theresa kissed her
mother goodby and left the house to
do some shopping. She did not return.
1t was then discovered that she had
taken away with her all the money and
iewelry given her by her parents and
her husband. A few days later her
mother received post card from
Theresa saying she was in good health
and that there was no cause to WORRY.
Meanwhile John Alcamo, her former
sweetheart, was questioned by the no.
lice, but denied knowing anything of
the whereabout of the missing bride.
Some doubt was cast by detectives on
the brides intent to take up convent
life. They say they have reason to
believe that she has gone to California.
where she once lived, to enter motion
pictures. She is described as pretty.
Her husband is a medical student

There are more of them on hand this

restrains the reference to the present
onslaught as a plague of reaches.

PHONES MIGHT TELL
STRANGE STORIES OF
LOCAL CONVERSATIONS

| II telephones could talk, they would
have strange stories to tell about the
stories they hear. To show what work.
er this boon of mankind is, Columbia q
telephones,-3,700 in number, could tell
over $1,000 stories Of every conceivable
sort every twenty-four hours. on
what is known as their regular days.
increasing this collection of choice Cos
sip and conversation TO the grand total
of $1,000 when Saturdays or holidays
come round.
Naturally, with so much material at
hand. those who stand duty at the tele.
phone and serve 10 keep Columbians in
verbal touch with one another have an
opportunity for wide range of comment.
Miss Ida A. Potter, the chief operator,
to whom the telephone company says all
complaints and swearing shall be direct.
ed-except that intended for a special
telephone operator in question-says that
if anyone wants to gain an insight, into
Columbia's life he should get some ex-
perience first hand with the takers Of the
town. Miss Potter came to this city
from ST. Louis fifteen years ago. when
Columbia could boast of only 900 teIe-
phones. At first she was taken aback
by the seeming unwillingness of Colum.
bia telephone users TO limit their con.
versations to something like what even
row is considered a normal length of tel
ephone conversation in ST. Louis, namely,
about five minutes.
Il soon got used to the change" she
said, ''and then one day. came the long
est telephone conversation l believe i
ever heard Of A young man in frater-
nifty house at the University was calling
up girl at a sorority house. and it took
him exactly two hours and forty minutes
to relieve his mind. Calls came in in
cessantly for both the sorority and the
fraternity house. but | was obliged to
let them go on talking, for theirs were
private phones
Miss Potter believes that the, students
are less careful, as a rule. about the
length of their conversations than the
townspeoplc are. And those who come
from places where different telephone
conditions exist seem at a loss TO know
why Columbia's system should be Of
another SORT from that wherein one turns
4 little crank at the side Of the phone,
and then asks for a certain party, using
that partys last name.
One girl from a small Missouri town
called me one day" said Miss Potter,

couldn't give NE Mr.. Smiths number |

meant, and she seemed astonished TO
