Daughter Must Pay
for Mothers Support
Mrs. Wilhelmina Dau Goes to the
Lutheran Home and Order of the
Court Holds Good.

The order handed down in the county
court by Judge Robert Verne Baker
recently in which he directed that Mrs.
Anna Birchard should pay SIS month
into the court for the support of her
mother, Mrs. Wilhelmina Dau, in order
to make it possible for the aged mother
to be taken to the Lutheran Home for
the Aged at Belle Plain, Minnesota,
will hold good. Word was received by
the court this morning that Mrs. Dau
had been admitted to the home and
that the moneys paid in by all of
the children could now be turned over
to the court.
For several weeks there has been
some doubt as to whether the institu-
tion would admit the aged woman and
there was chance that the order of
the court would be recalled to open
the way for another solution.
Mrs. Birchard has made one pay
ment to the court and now efforts will
be made to collect the other sums each
month as due. The order of the court
directs that. in default of payment the
daughter is to be committed to the
Kenosha county Jail.

Chicago.-While authorities in vari-
Gus parts of the United States today
continued checking up the operations
of Joseph M. Marcino, alias Joseph
Biata, who rose from a barber to
buyer Of banks and whose financial
deals were reported to have caused
losses approximating $591,999, reports
here indicated he might have commit
ted suicide. That theory found its IN
ception in letter written by Marcino
from some point in Texas or Mexico,
to Abraham Goldman of Chicago, faith
er-in-law, and who, according to inves-
tigators, supplied the missing man with
funds in greater or lesser amount.
The letter said to contain minute
account of the fugitive's financial ca
reer since its beginning here IN Chica-
go, was reported to indicate that Mar
cino might end his life so that credi-
tors could realize on his life insurance
policies totalling 100000.
"The only thing that remains for me
to do" he was reported to have writ
ten, sis to disappear from the face Of
this earth in oblivion, or endure a life
of suffering. l only hope within a few
years, through the proceeds of my in
surance, to repay creditors
Today Frank L. Taylor, former rail
road fireman, finally advanced to pres
ident of the First National Bank of
Warren, Mass, by Marcino at a salary
of $50 a week faced arrangement in
the federal court here, following the
reported discovery of a $4,000 short
age in accounts of the Warren institu-
ton.
Marcino, as he was known in Buffalo,
N. Y, where he acquired the control
ling interest in the Bison Holding Cor
poration, the holding concern of the
Niagara Insurance company, the ac-
counts of which investigators have de-
clared are short $248,O0O, is the son of
an Italian baker of Chicago.

INFLUENCE OF THE BIBLE.

Chicago Increased use of the BIZ
BILE as well as increased quotations
of the holy book were indicated here
at the meeting of the Council of
Boards of Benevolence of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church.
Dr.. VIM. I. Haven, corresponding
secretary, American Bible Society,
New York, told the Council that in the
japanese daily and weekly press, quo
tations from the Bible were printed
more than quotations from any other
religious books.
Bishop William Burt, of Buffalo, in
speaking of the growing influence Of
the Bible throughout the world said
he met Premier Mussolini of Italy
who drew from his pocket a small
green New Testament which had come
from the American Bible Society, and
said, "This is the best of all books
and 1 am endeavoring to build my life
and career according to its principles
and teachings"

Lost No Money in Deals.

New York City.-Representative Fl
orello H. Laguardi today said he had
never invested or lost any money in
backing the ventures of Joseph Marci-
no, alias Biata, who disappeared from
Buffalo last week after discovery of a
shortage of $4,000 in the funds of che
First National Bank of Warren, Mass.
Representative Laguardi said he had
been retained as counsel to the Niagara
Life Insurance company more than SIX
months ago when it was planned to
move the headquarters Of that company
from Buffalo to this city.
81 remained as counsel but a few
weeks" he said, retiring after learn
ing that Biata had a reputation for
questionable financial methods. While
I was with the insurance company, I
kept it straight and in one instance
prevented a small bank in Wisconsin
from meeting the same fate that befell
the bank in Warren"

Senator Underwood
Quits Leadership
tBy Associated Press Leased wire)

T
Washington, D. C. - Senator I'm
derwood of Alabama has closed his
service as Democratic floor leader of
the senate. Accompanied by Mrs.
Underwood he has left here on a four
months European tour, following the
completion of all the regular appropri-
alton bills of the session and assur-
ance from President Harding that
there would be no early call, at least,
for an extra session of the new con-
gress.
The senate minority leadership to-
day virtually fell upon Senator Rob
inson, of Arkansas, who is slated to
be chosen in the next congress as the
successor of Senator Underwood who
announced last November that he
would retire from the leadership with
the end of the closing congress. SEN
ator Underwood's health has been
somewhat impaired by throat trouble
and his physicians had advised a long
rest to restore his speaking powers.
