A Correction

In the case of Mrs. Gertrude M.
Moore against Mr.. Robert I. Moore,
the note which was published in last
weeks edition of The Bulletin-Ap-
peal was somewhat inaccurate and
misleading. There was no dispute
whatever over the property located
at 3741 Clinton Ave-, therefore there
was no decree made by the court re-
garding this home, it having been
purchased and furnished by Mrs.
Moore with her own individual funds.
The evidence showed that Mrs. Moore
bought the lot located at 2511 JEFF
ferson st. Northeast, and assisted in
providing the money for the erection
of the home on this lot, consequently
the court granted her a one-half in
terest in this property. Each party
in this case was asking a divorce
from the other. At the conclusion of
the case, Judge Baldwin denied Mr..
Moore divorce, and expressed him
self as not being satisfied with Mrs.
Moore's claim for a divorce. How
ever, after taking the case under ad-
visement for nearly two weeks, he
granted Mrs. Moore divorce, with
out allowing her alimony, suit money
or attorneys fees. The decisions Of
the court were perfectly satisfactory
to Mr.. Moore.
GEO. G.. DeVAUGHN,
Attorney for Mr.. Moore.

Clifford Hawkins
Buys Pool Room,

In the largest business transaction
that one of our group has figured in
recently, Clifford Hawkins, well
known Minneapolitan, acquired the
largest race pool and billiard room
in the Northwest, in a deal involving
$4,000. Mr.. Hawkins place, which
has not been definitely named, is 10
Gated in the Kistler building under
the Elks' Hail at 637 Sixth Ave. No.,
Minneapolis. Seven pool tables and
one billiard table in well lighted
and newly decorated room, together
with cigar and soft drink department,
make "Clif's" place the most ideal
pool room in the Twin Cities.
In the near future Hawkins plans
a big pool tournament. "Clif," as
he is called by his friends, says that
he intends to find out who the cham
pion pool player of the Twin Cities is.
The Bulletin-Appeal is always glad
to extend its best wishes and con-
gratulations to the new colored busi-
ness man. So best wishes, Mr..
Hawkins.

The steel construction permits the of another

convenience of the open and who also wants
the comfort, protection and beauty of the closed
car can now get both in and at the price

~ ODAY Studebaker proves that beauti-
4 full, distinctive, stylish body lines can
- be originated by American body de-
signers without following precedent or inli-
Eating or adapting what has been done be-
fore.
Today Studebaker proves that a practical
and beautiful type of car can be made to
combine the pleasure and performance of the
open car and the comfort and protection of
the closed car-and this without excessive
price or compromised quality-a car duplex"
in open-car smartness and convenience and
closed-car elegance and comfort-and at
price no higher than that of an open car!
Today Studebaker proves, in its new
Standard Six Duplex model, that a six-cylin-
der car of fine quality, great power, plenty of
room and impressive appearance can be made
and marketed at price of $1145.
Today Studebaker proves in its new Spe-
cial Six and its Big Six Duplex models that
the ultimate in all the essential features of
quality in five and seven-passenger cars can
be made and marketed at price OF S1495
and S1875 respectively.
And this is possible only because Stude-
baker cars are made in one of the most COM
prehensive industrial plants in this country,
20 per cent of which is new within the last
SAX years.
Every modern method of manufacture and
lollS experienced management are available
FOR the production of Studebaker automo-
biles.
Today Studebaker proves that the highest
grade closed car bodies-framed in selected
hard woods, cushioned with the best cushion
work, upholstered in fine mohar fabrics and
fitted with expensive appointments-can be
made and marketed on superlatively good
chassis at moderate prices.
This is made possible by the new $1o,ooo,-
900 Studebaker closed body plants. Stude-
baker designs and builds all of its closed
bodies in one of the best equipped and most
modern body plants in the industry.

through the valley towns had failed
to bring any inkling as to his
WhGreabouts.
AS possible clue to the death Of
Mr.. Cole, the theory was advanced
yesterday that he had been the vic
tim of a murder. In substantiation
of this theory those making an in
vestigatiou said that there were
automobile tracks along the road
off the main highway, and that they
had been made very recently. The
cars had stopped almost opposite the
spot where the dead man lay and
had turned around, evidently hur
riodly, us one of them had smashed
over a small tree. The spot where
the machines tuped around is said
to have been within sight of the
body. .f
Friends of the dead man could NOT
remember his having had any enc
mics and could find no reason to
think that he would be the object of
ail attack particularly since no at
tempt had been made to rob him.
Mr.. Cole, who has lived in the
valley with his family for several
years, is said TO have been IN poor
health for a considerable period of
time. People who saw him in ia
cumha shortly before he disappeared
from there, said he told them he
came out of the valley to get away
